"I can't accept this, you ant. You're the first person to make me taste defeat. Just you wait, I'll make you regret this!" Yun shouted as the phantom mountain around her collapsed. Lu Yin's palm landed on Yun's abdomen, shattering her entire body. There was no blood, only broken pieces of machinery.
Countless people were stunned. It was over.
The participants from the Technocracy were all stunned.
"Lu Yin wins the first match of the third round of the drawing of lots."
Every single battle in the Tournament of the Strongest was enough to shock the audience, but the battle between Lu Yin and Yun had shocked the audience the most. This was because of the terrifying destructive power and pressure that had been unleashed. The impact of this battle had even forced the mentors to intervene.
Whether it was Starsibyl or Tian Hou's previous battles, they had all been shocking, but they had all been unreal. Now, however, countless people could see the gap between Lu Yin and the strongest Limiteers.
This battle had once again solidified Lu Yin's position. His true power level still surpassed Liu Shaoqiu's, and he truly deserved to be one of the Ten Arbiters' candidates.
In the east, Starsibyl looked up. The results of her divination were getting closer and closer.
Grandini was shocked. Lu Yin was becoming more and more abnormal, and he was already on the path of invincibility.
In the distance, Nightqueen Yanqing clenched her fists. This bastard was getting stronger and stronger. She had clearly become stronger as well, but the gap between them was still widening. None of the Daynight clan's Limiteers could compare to her now, and even Explorers would find it difficult to defeat her.
Everyone from Astral-10 was excited.
Captain Wu kept muttering to himself as he looked at Lu Yin with excitement. As expected of a permanent source of news.
In the Innerverse and Outerverse, many organizations watched on in shock.
In the Spirit Seal Flowzone's Watermoon Villa, An Shaohua lowered his head and did not even dare to breathe loudly.
"He's the Lu Yin who forced you?"
"Yes, Father."
"With his strength, even ten of you wouldn't be his match. I won't punish you for what happened last time."
An Shaohua relaxed. "Thank you, Father."
"Keep in touch with him."
An Shaohua was put in a difficult position. "But Father, I've already used the agreement."
"Use your heart to exchange for someone else's heart. This is called opening your heart to him. There are no benefits, and he's worth it."
"Yes, Father."
…
Even deeper, in the First Flowzone, the Sword Sect. "Send out another invitation. My Sword Sect is willing to treat this child as a junior sect master."
Countless Sword Sect disciples agreed, as this battle had allowed them to fully realize the gap between them and Lu Yin. He was just too powerful, and he had even surpassed the Fourth Sword.
…
In the Daynight clan's ancestral grounds, Nightking Yuanjing retracted his gaze from the screen and glanced behind him. "You've completed the mission?"
Zhuo Daynight stood behind Nightking Yuanjing, and she similarly retracted her gaze from the screen. She suppressed the shock in her heart and respectfully said, "It's done."
"Mm, do whatever you want. No one in the Daynight clan will restrict you," Nightking Yuanjing said gently.
Zhuo Daynight bowed and slowly retreated.
…
The Astral Combat Academy's Astral Combat Tournament was not enough to shock countless organizations, as it was only a competition between the Astral Combat Academies, and it did not represent the universe's strongest youths. However, the Tournament of the Strongest was different, and its significance was different as well.
On the surface, it seemed like a competition between the younger generation, and it was merely a mediator in the negotiations between the star domains. However, many people were actually looking at the candidates to replace the Ten Arbiters in the future. A true Ten Arbiters' candidate represented a completely different meaning, especially someone like Lu Yin, who had no foundation at all. Anyone who could pull him in would be his, and he was basically a Ten Arbiters' candidate who was outside of the realm of power. This was too attractive to the various large organizations.
Perhaps only Zenyu Star, Earth, and a few other places truly wished Lu Yin well.
Lu Yin walked out of the battlefield in the Lifeseek Realm of the Astral Combat Academy.
"Congratulations, Brother Lu," Han Chong congratulated him.
Lu Yin smiled bitterly. "It was too hard on me. That woman was very strong."
"Nonsense." Grandini rolled her eyes.
Lu Yin felt that this girl was becoming more and more like Lulu. Were all Mavis family members so lively?
How did they manage the economy?
There were only two people left in the next round: Starsibyl and Tian Hou. At this moment, Tian Hou had already appeared in the arena.
Starsibyl was not in a hurry to enter. Instead, she walked to Lu Yin's side and whispered something to him before entering the arena.
Lu Yin turned around and stared at Starsibyl's back in shock. Starsibyl had actually agreed to let him enter the Lifeseek Realm's Mirror of Clarity. The Mirror of Clarity was similar to the Heavenly Drum, the Tilting Tower, and the Sky Platform. It was the best training ground in the Lifeseek Realm, and whoever controlled the Mirror of Clarity would become the Realm Master of the Lifeseek Realm.
Ever since Starsibyl had taken control of the Mirror of Clarity, only Nightqueen Yanqing had been allowed to use it. Now, at this crucial moment of the Tournament of the Strongest, she had actually agreed to let him use it. What was the meaning of this?
Lu Yin could not figure it out.
On the battlefield, Starsibyl's lips curled up into a smile. Since the results of her divination were becoming more and more obvious, she might as well give it a push and plan for the future based on her own divination.
The battlefield had already been restored, and this had happened countless times. Regardless of whether it was the Astral Combat Tournament or the Tournament of the Strongest, this battlefield would always be destroyed.
Limiteers possessed great destructive power. Not to mention a battlefield, even a planet could be destroyed by a Limiteer given enough time.
"Human Starsibyl, your great name can be heard even in the Spiritual Academy," Tian Hou spoke up on the battlefield. He rarely spoke.
Starsibyl smiled. "Tian Hou's great name has been recorded since ancient times."
"I hope that you won't disappoint me in this battle," Tian Hou said.
Starsibyl's eyes flickered. "I'm sorry, but I might have to disappoint you. My attack power cannot reach the upper limit of what you can handle."
"The Starsibyl Sect's battles have never relied on attack power." Tian Hou's body melded into the void, and when he reappeared, he was already in front of Starsibyl. He reached out with a hand, intending to banish her into the void.
Unfortunately, his plan fell through as the black vortex arm pierced through Starsibyl. Starsibyl was no longer in her original position, or rather, she had never been there.
"Astral Disorientation!" A voice rang out from above. Tian Hou raised his head slightly and did not dodge, allowing Starsibyl to tap him. At the same time, Tian Hou reached out to grab Starsibyl, and the two simultaneously attacked each other.
Everyone watched closely. The battle between the two was not as intense as Lu Yin and Yun's, but it was just as dangerous. The slightest mistake would result in defeat.
The battlefield fell silent as both attacks struck each other. In the next moment, Tian Hou's black robes were torn apart, revealing his strange body formed entirely of vortexes. As for Starsibyl, she was swallowed up by the void behind her.
Countless people's hearts were in their mouths. Was Starsibyl going to lose?
Lu Yin narrowed his eyes, as he did not believe that Starsibyl would be defeated so easily.
With a whoosh, Tian Hou suddenly let go and turned around to look behind him. Starsibyl, who had been swallowed up by the void, gradually disappeared and transformed into a white robe.
Countless people sighed in relief; Starsibyl was fine.
"Your attacks are useless against me," Tian Hou said indifferently, as if this was something very normal.
On the other side, Starsibyl was helpless. "Yes, but you can't attack me either."
"Not necessarily." Tian Hou raised his head high as a black vortex gradually expanded beneath his feet. "The battlefield limits you. If this was a battle to the death, then you and I would not be able to determine a victor. Unfortunately, in this restricted battlefield, even your divination abilities are useless. My attacks will devour the world, and your defenses will not be able to block them." The vortex then rapidly expanded, as if a black hole had been placed on the ground.
As they watched the expanding vortex, some students' eyes flickered before they suddenly collapsed to the ground. They were not dead, but rather unconscious.
"Everyone, don't look at the vortex," one of the mentors could not help but shout from high up in the sky.
Everyone was horrified, as this was too strange. The students of Astral-7 suddenly thought of the student who had mysteriously collapsed to the ground, and they looked at Tian Hou with eyes full of fear. This creature's attacks could silently take away a person's life. It was too terrifying.
Starsibyl rose into the sky and looked at the vortex that was gradually swallowing up the ground. A trace of helplessness flashed through her eyes. "There's no need to continue. I admit defeat."
As she spoke, Tian Hou raised his head, and the vortex gradually disappeared beneath his feet. "A wise choice."
Many students had ugly expressions, as Starsibyl had been defeated. Although Starsibyl had never been synonymous with invincibility, she represented divination and the future. Now, she had actually lost to the Astral Beast Domain, which was something that many could not accept.
Tian Hou was right; the battlefield had limited Starsibyl's abilities. Unless Tian Hou could devour the entire universe, he would not have been able to defeat Starsibyl. This was an unfair battle.
"This is not what I'm after. I hope that next time, we can fight in outer space," Tian Hou said in a low voice.
Starsibyl smiled and left the Lifeseek Realm.
"Third round of the drawing of lots. Tian Hou wins."
At the same time, Tian Hou turned around and looked at Lu Yin.
At the same time, outside the battlefield, everyone looked at Lu Yin. The finals of the Tournament of the Strongest were about to begin between these two. Who was stronger?
Who was more invincible?
One had unimaginable destructive power, while the other had unfathomable endurance. It was like a spear against a shield; a decisive battle was about to begin.
A screen completely enveloped Tian Hou and Lu Yin, and their figures appeared in various parts of the universe.
This Tournament of the Strongest was supposed to mediate the negotiations between the Human Domain and the Astral Beast Domain, and the final battle of the Tournament of the Strongest would be between the representatives of both domains.
At the border of the Erudite Flowzone, Shui Chuanxiao's eyes lit up as he looked at Lu Yin on the screen. His era had ended, and this youth was just beginning.
In the Innerverse, atop a cliff, a woman with long black hair and a white sword watched the screen with an indescribable glint in her eyes.
At this moment, countless gazes focused on Lu Yin. He was not only representing himself, but also the entire Human Domain.
"Seventh Bro, you must be under a lot of pressure," the monkey suddenly spoke up.
Lu Yin looked away from Tian Hou and towards the other side, where the Mirror of Clarity was.
"The fourth round of the finals will begin in one day," a loud voice said.
Tian Hou immediately left the Lifeseek Realm, and the others followed suit.
Han Chong glanced at Lu Yin and then left as well.
No one disturbed Lu Yin, as no one could predict the outcome of the final battle. However, many were not optimistic about the outcome.
Lu Yin soared into the sky and disappeared in a flash. He had gone to the Mirror of Clarity. Although he did not believe in Starsibyl's divination abilities, since she was willing to hand over the Mirror of Clarity, he would not stand on ceremony and go take a look.
"Monkey, this final battle is very important. Tell me everything you know about Tian Hou," Lu Yin said solemnly.
