Spirit chess' rules dictated that only one black piece remained. Even if the black piece disappeared until only one remained, the black piece would still win.
Rainburn grew anxious, as this Third Master had clearly seen through the spirit chess board. If she waited any longer, she would not even have the time to enter the board.
She no longer hesitated and stepped out of the board.
Lu Yin's gaze froze. Rainburn had not completely seen through the spirit chess board, and her decision to enter had been based on luck. However, her luck was not bad. The danger from the sourceboxes constantly changed and combined like a boiling ocean that swept through everything. Regardless of whether it was the black or white pieces, they were all wiped out.
Lu Yin had originally allowed the black pieces to have the advantage in numbers, but now, all of them had been wiped out, which meant that all of his previous efforts had been destroyed.
This would not do.
Lu Yin tapped his finger lightly and guided the danger from the sourceboxes towards Rainburn.
There were ten Boundless Advanced sourceboxes, each with a different danger.
One of the sourceboxes' danger was like a pile of stones that constantly piled up to form an ancient structure that brazenly pressed down on Rainburn.
Rainburn gritted her teeth and changed her position to avoid the danger.
The change in position caused the danger from the sourceboxes to change as well. Even Lu Yin could not easily predict what this change would be, as it was too complicated.
If Lu Yin wanted to determine the victor, he could simply use the danger to deal with Rainburn, and she would not be able to block it.
However, that would be too low class. After all, this was the path of lockbreaking, and one's strength was inferior.
The reason why he could see through the spirit chess board was largely due to his strength, which was unfair to begin with.
Within the spirit chess board, he would try to give her as much fairness as possible.
Rainburn counterattacked and took out something similar to a lockbreaking tool to guide the danger from the sourceboxes towards Lu Yin.
Lu Yin also counterattacked. He did not need a lockbreaking tool, so the danger from the sourceboxes did not affect him at all.
This fact made Rainburn sullen, but there was nothing she could do.
She could only attack the black pieces, but her speed was not as fast as Lu Yin's.
As they fought, the black and white pieces were constantly consumed.
As time passed, the white pieces were being wiped out faster and faster.
Even the outsiders could see this.
"Rainburn has lost."
"Eh …. How did the Third Master cultivate?
He's so powerful even in the path of spiritual treasures. "
"Wrong, he still relies on his strength."
"But we can't deny that this Third Master has the strength of a Celestial Master when it comes to spiritual treasures. Otherwise, he would not have been able to reach this step."
No one refuted him, as Lu Yin's lockbreaking ability was obvious to all.
Without the corresponding lockbreaking ability, Lu Yin could destroy the sourceboxes' danger zones, but he would not be able to use them.
As more and more white chess pieces were wiped out, Yu Ran became more and more anxious. Unknowingly, he was close to the eighth step, which was where the Heavenly Retribution Earthly Annihilation Spiritual Treasure Array Formation was.
She didn't react until the thunder roared.
The terrifying lightning was like a monster. It suddenly erupted and swept towards her.
Heavenly Master Yulan looked at the incoming thunder and saw two golden eyes devouring it. The power of the explosion tore her skin apart.
She retreated, but her surroundings were filled with the danger of sourceboxes. Every step she took was filled with unpredictable danger.
Outside, the people of Numinous Treasure Society were shocked. "Heaven Master Yu Ran, be careful."
Zhi Shan was shocked.
Suddenly, several water droplets appeared in front of Heavenly Master Yulan. One mountain, one water. The water droplets turned into mountains to stop the lightning.
She came back to her senses and retreated once again. Only then did she leave the range of the lightning.
This was the Mountain River Tomb?
She looked at the seventh step, and Lu Yin withdrew his hand.
This was because he had taken action just now. He had changed the Mountain River Tomb and used the water droplets from the void to save Heavenly Master Yu Ran. Otherwise, this woman would have died.
The sourcebox array's power was comparable to a Sequence Law, and it was very rare. After all, it was a combination of ten Boundless Advanced sourceboxes and a sourcebox array. It had never appeared in the Tian Yuan Universe before.
"Thank you," Heavenly Master Yu Ran said gratefully.
Outside, the people of Numinous Treasure Society looked at Lu Yin gratefully.
Heavenly Master Yu Ran's status in Numinous Treasure Society was extremely high. She liked to help the younger generation and was not arrogant. Most of the society's unity was due to her.
It could be said that Numinous Treasure Society could lose the number one Heavenly Master of Numinous Treasure, but they could not lose Yu Ran.
She was the true pillar of Numinous Treasure Society.
In particular, Lu Yin had saved her by using the Mountain River Tomb's array. He had used the Path of Numinous Treasure to save someone, which earned the Society's respect.
They had been hostile at the beginning, but now, they were starting to respect Lu Yin.
Zhi Hua even cheered.
After being saved by Lu Yin, Heavenly Master Yu Ran was too ashamed to continue playing, and she dejectedly left the spirit board.
The moment she left the board, she had lost.
The people of Numinous Treasure Society were not unwilling. This was the difference in strength, and there was no other way.
"Third Head, I admit defeat. You can leave as well," Heavenly Master Yu Ran said politely.
Lu Yin looked around, "Even if I leave this spirit board, it will be hard for you to solve it."
Heavenly Master Yu Ran said, "Don't worry, Numinous Treasure Society can solve it."
Lu Yin wanted to help them get rid of the spirit board, but since Heavenly Master Yu Ran said so, he let her be.
Her life was saved by Lu Yin, and she could be grateful. However, Numinous Treasure Society could not be looked down upon. If they could not even solve this spirit board, it would be too embarrassing.
Lu Yin walked out of the spirit board and stood on the ninth step.
The Heavenly Master Staircase challenge was successful.
Numinous Treasure Society was silent as everyone looked on with mixed feelings. What should Numinous Treasure Society do next?
Should they accept the Third Head as a Heavenly Master of Numinous Treasure Society?
Thinking of the Dayu Villa's violation of the rules and what the Third Head had done, their scalps went numb.
Once the Third Head joined Numinous Treasure Society, it would mean that Numinous Treasure Society would become enemies with all the major forces in the spiritualized universe for him. Otherwise, it would go against the unity of Numinous Treasure Society.
They did not want to do so, but they could not reject it, especially since they respected the Third Head.
What was wrong with this person?
Could he not cause so much trouble?
If this person was normal, everyone in Numinous Treasure Society would welcome him with open arms.
Heavenly Master Yu Ran was even more bitter. If this person was not an enemy of the Outland, she would even give up her position as president to him.
Why did it have to be this kind of person?
Even if they had agreed to stop this person from joining Numinous Treasure Society, did they really have to do that?
Was this person really evil?
Her life was saved, and she could not live with her conscience.
Numinous Treasure Society was in an unprecedented awkward situation.
Heavenly Master Yu Ran was in an unprecedented awkward situation.
Under such circumstances, the more conscientious a person was, the more they would feel guilty. However, in the entire cultivation world, there were not many people like this.
They were all worn down by the mutual deception of the cultivation world.
The reason why Numinous Treasure Society could maintain such a mentality was related to their uniqueness.
Numinous Treasure Society did not need to compete with the outside world for resources. All the numinous treasures in the spiritualized universe were still in Numinous Treasure Domain, so they did not need to interact with the outside world.
Perhaps Zhi Kong Domain had already thought of this situation. Numinous Treasure Society was like a pure land in the cultivation world. Although there were occasional impurities, it was not a big deal.
Lu Yin stood on the Celestial Master Staircase and looked in a direction. He felt an indescribable sense of danger in that direction.
There was a power there.
At his fingertip, a karmic spiral twined. With a wave of his hand, the karmic spiral moved in that direction.
No matter what kind of powerhouse existed in that direction, they could not pry into the karmic spiral. This was a power that even Yu Sang Tian was afraid of, and he had even killed his way to the Tian Yuan Universe.
The black-and-white landscape was a painting, but the people in the painting were alive.
The karmic spiral entered, causing ripples to appear in the painting.
The old man by the lake was penetrated, and Lu Yin saw Yu Sang Tian and himself. This old man had karma with him.
The old man turned and looked at Lu Yin. His eyes were filled with surprise and confusion, but there was also a hint of a smile. "I am Master Su. I have long heard of your great name, Third Master. Please come and have a chat with me."
[Latest update on this site.]
"Yu Ran, lead the way for Third Master."
Yu Ran heard this and politely said to Lu Yin, "Third Master, please follow me to meet Senior Su."
The karmic spiral dissipated, and Lu Yin retracted his gaze. This old man was from Master Su?
He was indeed powerful. Although he could not pry into karma, he could actually avoid it, just like Mister Li. He had sensed something in advance, but he did not avoid it, allowing the karmic spiral to penetrate him.
What was he thinking?
Lu Yin could see Master Su, but he could not. His goal was to find Bao Qi's whereabouts. Heaven's Hand had placed Bao Qi's location at the foot of the Celestial Master Staircase, so he had no choice but to come.
Since Master Su was not fighting for Sang Tian's position, and Lu Yin had a good impression of Spiritual Treasure Association, there was no need to cause trouble.
But now, he was curious.
Why did Master Su not avoid the karmic spiral?
Normal people would avoid invisible attacks. This was an instinct. Even if they did not know what the attack represented, they would still avoid it. Why was Master Su an exception?
Everyone in Spiritual Treasure Association quietly watched Lu Yin follow Yu Ran to Master Su's location. Their gazes were complicated, and they did not know how to treat this Third Master.
In the square, Old Tao and the rest were worried again.
They thought that Lu Yin could leave after successfully challenging the Celestial Master Staircase. They knew that Lu Yin's goal was Bao Qi's position at the foot of the Celestial Master Staircase.
But now, Lu Yin was following Yu Ran to meet Master Su. What would the result be?
They did not know.
Would Master Su attack them like he did to Zhen, Forget Sorrow Elder, and Dancing Butterfly World Horizon?
They could not imagine the result of the battle between Master Su and Master Su.
Would Spiritual Treasure Association's attitude towards them change?
Master Su was the supreme sect in Spiritual Treasure Association.
Even Sang Tian had to be courteous when he saw him.
Lu Yin knew the location of Master Su, but he still followed Yu Ran to it. His speed was neither fast nor slow.
On the way, Yu Ran asked, "Third Master came to Spiritual Treasure Association for Master Su?"
Lu Yin said calmly, "Not for anything, just for people."
He was actually doing this for Bao Qi, but in Yu Ran's ears, he was doing this for the Su Master Dao.
"Third Master, why did you challenge all the experts in the world?"
"Are you curious?"
"Something like that."
"Nothing much. I just want to see if there are any experts in the spiritualized universe that can stop me."
Yu Ran stopped and looked at Lu Yin, "Is there no expert in the Tian Yuan Universe that can stop Third Master?"
After the battle of intent, Lu Yin and the rest's origin was clear. They came from the Tian Yuan Universe, but no one exposed it. They were all waiting for Sky Beyond's reaction.
If Dayu Manor was weak, it would have been besieged. But Dayu Manor, especially Lu Yin's terrifying strength, no one stood out. They could only wait.
