Suppressing space would not only protect the Skyfall Cascade of the Sea King's Dome, but it would also ensure fairness as much as possible. This would prevent anyone from taking out a weapon with a power level of over 100,000. For example, Lu Yin had quite a few such items.
Lu Yin was not in a hurry to rush up. Instead, he observed for a while before rushing up the Skyfall Cascade.
The moment he entered the Skyfall Cascade, his body sank. Even with Flash, he could only travel a thousand meters. How high was the Sea King's Dome?
He couldn't see the top of the Heavenly Stream at all. His speed was severely suppressed.
With his physical strength, this was the best he could do with Flash Step. The others were even worse off, as they were much slower than Lu Yin. Even though they had reached the Skyfall Cascade before him, Lu Yin still gradually caught up to some of them.
When he saw that Lu Yin was about to overtake him, the man raised his hand and slashed out with his sword. His attack distorted the void, but he was unable to tear it apart. Lu Yin easily dodged the attack and swept out with his leg. There was a thump as the shockwave from the collision overturned the river. The shockwave swept out and tore apart a layer of soil on the shore.
Lu Yin was astonished. It was actually battle force! Even though it was only four lines, it had covered the sword with battle force. Combined with an innate gift that he did not understand, it had been able to block his kick.
Lu Yin's physical strength was quite powerful, and it surpassed that of an ordinary Cruiser. The strength of his kick was not something that an ordinary Explorer could withstand, but it had been easily blocked by that person.
With a whoosh, the longsword covered in battle force swept out and enveloped the space around Lu Yin.
As expected, those who could qualify for the Strength Test were not simple. Although this person's sword did not reach the level of Liu Shaoqiu's Fourth Sword, in terms of power, it surpassed the Second Sword and had a terrifying penetrative power.
Five-lined battle force enveloped Lu Yin's fingertip, and he flicked it lightly. There was a clang as the longsword was deflected away, and the sword qi swept towards the nearby shore. Many of the spectators who had come to the shore to watch the battle were shocked, and they hurriedly retreated.
The waters of the Skyfall Cascade roared as Lu Yin and the others swam upstream. The other three had also begun to engage in a chaotic battle.
This was a chaotic battle between experts close to the Top 100 Rankings. The elites of the younger generation had gathered.
Chaotic battles raged all over the Heavenspan Cascade. As for Qin Chen, he had already defeated one person and was now rushing towards the top of the Heavenspan Cascade.
Ling Que angrily fought one against two, as if he was venting his anger over the fact that his fan club had been stolen.
Mu Rong and Lan Yu were fighting. It was Lan Yu who chose him, while Lan Dao was fighting another person.
The atmosphere of the entire Sea King Realm was immediately stirred up. Everyone looked at the screen in the sky as they watched the battles unfold one after another.
With a bang, Lu Yin's longsword was deflected away once more. Lu Yin took two steps back as his gaze turned cold. The person in front of him had spun his longsword and then thrust it towards him. The speed of this attack was so fast that it surpassed the limits of what the naked eye could see. Unless he used the Secret Sidestep to dodge, he would have to face it head-on. This attack was extremely powerful.
Nine stars revolved around Lu Yin's body as the longsword pierced into Sirius's range. Lu Yin was able to clearly see the trajectory of the attack, and he brushed past the sword to evade it. He then pressed his palm against the man's abdomen, unleashing a Thirty Stacks Fortyfold Shockwave Palm. There was a loud boom as the river erupted, and the man was sent flying by Lu Yin's palm. Blood splattered all over the Skyfall Cascade as he fell down the river.
Many people were excited, as Lu Yin had defeated an Explorer as a Limiteer, and not just any ordinary Explorer. In this place, all of the Explorers were Realmbreakers, and they were all freaks of the universe. Lu Yin's victory meant that he had surpassed that level.
Suddenly, the air became incomparably heavy. This was an innate gift of gravity, and the Skyfall Cascade's water was pushed away in all directions. Lu Yin turned around and saw the short man staring at him from afar. He pressed both hands against the Skyfall Cascade, and Lu Yin's body became heavy again. This time, the gravity was no less than 200 times, and the water beneath Lu Yin's feet was completely drained away.
200 times gravity had already surpassed the limit that an Explorer could endure, but it did not have much of an effect on Lu Yin. His physical body was too strong, and just as he was about to break free, he felt an icy sensation at his ankles. The water seemed to have a life of its own as it transformed into chains that connected in a strange pattern and extended towards the banks of the Skyfall Cascade.
Someone had used the water to lock him down.
Lu Yin's domain spread out, but there was no one else besides the short man. He looked at the man, who had a smug look on his face. He flicked his finger, causing tiny metal fragments to shoot out and strike Lu Yin's calf. The moment the metal fragments touched his calf, they transformed into chains that bound him in all directions.
Lu Yin's eyes trembled, and his battle force erupted from his body. Five-lined battle force covered his entire body, and with a bang, the chains were torn apart. However, the broken chains automatically twisted together in midair as if they had a life of their own.
"There's no need to struggle. You can't escape from the Xun family's mechanisms and gravity confinement," the short man shouted as he leapt towards Lu Yin. He raised a palm, causing a black stream of air to distort at the center of his palm. This man had condensed all of the gravity onto his palm, and the gravitational force caused the void to distort as he viciously slammed his palm towards Lu Yin's forehead.
If this attack landed, Lu Yin would still be injured, no matter how high his defenses were.
Countless people from the Sea King's Dome cried out in alarm as they watched this scene unfold.
Even Big Pao and the others were nervous. Although they were confident in Lu Yin's strength, the people who had qualified for the Astral Combat Academy were not simple. They all surpassed countless of their peers, and they were all geniuses. Even in the entire Astral Combat Academy, only Realm Masters who had broken through to the Explorer realm could fight against these people.
Lu Yin had many ways to neutralize this attack, and he could at least use his Fatesand to block it. However, he did not do so, as the short man's words had infuriated him. This person was actually from the Xun family, and this person was helping the Xun family deal with him.
Lu Yin shifted the Fatesand around his heart, and his physical strength suddenly erupted. His suppressed strength combined with his battle force, instantly breaking all of the chains. Even the gravitational force could not withstand it, and the water flowed backwards. Lu Yin's pure strength spread out in ripples that could be seen with the naked eye. He raised a hand and grabbed the short man's palm, crushing the gravitational force within it into nothingness.
The short man's pupils shrank, and his face went pale. "How is this possible? How did you break the Xun family's mechanisms?"
Lu Yin's tone was icy. "You overestimate the Xun family." He then exerted more force, and with a crack, the short man's wrist was broken. The man howled and released his gravitational force in a futile attempt to escape. However, he was tightly gripped by Lu Yin and could not break free.
"Speak! Who are you to the Xun family?
Why are you targeting me? "Lu Yin's voice was filled with killing intent.
The short man gritted his teeth. "I have nothing to do with the Xun family. It's just that they came to me a few hours ago and asked me to deal with you. The Xun family's mechanisms are famous throughout the universe, and I wanted to experience it for myself."
Lu Yin stared at the man and knew that he was not lying. He kicked out and sent the short man flying, crashing into the shore of the Skyfall Cascade and shattering many trees before finally burying himself deep into the ground. Blood flowed from the corner of his mouth, and his arm was bent at an irregular angle.
This person had been heavily injured by Lu Yin, and he had only survived because Lu Yin had shown mercy.
Many people had heard the short man's words and were shocked that the Xun family had acted. The mechanisms were too iconic, and no one would believe that the Xun family was not involved. Lu Yin had even offended them.
Lu Yin looked up, and a bone-chilling intent appeared in his eyes. He would remember this grudge with the Xun family. If he remembered correctly, the Xun family had a very good relationship with the Daynight clan, and it was impossible for them to become friends.
"Seventh Bro, this Xun family is too despicable. You have to teach them a lesson when you meet them in the future," the monkey said indignantly.
Lu Yin indicated that he understood. At this moment, the Skyfall Cascade's water was no longer suppressed by gravity, so it quickly flowed back.
Although Lu Yin still hated the Xun family, he was also amazed by their mechanisms. If he had not released a portion of his physical strength, he would not have been able to break free even with his battle force. They truly lived up to their reputation throughout the universe. He had to be careful of the Xun family in the future, as their methods were very complicated.
At the waist of the Sea King's Peak, Xun Tao had an ugly expression on his face. He had actually failed. What a piece of trash!
Around the lake at the waist of the mountain, Xun Jiong also had an ugly expression. However, it was not because of the short man, but rather because of Xun Tao. That idiot had actually used his status as a member of the Xun family to interfere, which was equivalent to exposing the Xun family. Lu Yin was not even afraid of the Daynight clan, so he definitely had some background. Now that the Xun family had been exposed, there would be trouble in the future.
"Your Xun family is still the same as before, scheming behind people's backs. What a joke," Hart Phoenix mocked Xun Jiong.
Xun Jiong's expression turned ugly, and he looked around. Everyone who had qualified because of their looks had gathered here, and most of them had some background. However, most of them could not compare to the Xun family, which was backed by the Daynight clan.
Aside from Hart Phoenix, very few people dared to mock Xun Jiong.
"I heard that you also lost to Lu Yin in the Astral Combat Academy, but now you're siding with him. Is this the tradition of the Phoenix family?" Xun Jiong asked coldly.
Hart Phoenix sneered. "My Phoenix family's people lose and win. We won't stab each other in the back, unlike your Xun family. You like to borrow someone else's knife to kill, and you always fail. Haha."
Xun Jiong did not reply.
On the other side, Xia Luo smiled as he looked at Xun Jiong. He did not know how Lu Yin had offended the Xun family. Although the Xun family did not participate in the disputes between the various great powers, they were still very troublesome. Their mechanisms were used in many areas, and they had a lot of potential. Just as Hart Phoenix had said, the Xun family was adept at scheming behind people's backs.
On the banks of the Skyfall Cascade, Hai Dashao looked at Lu Yin on a screen, deep in thought.
"What do you think of this person?" Starsibyl suddenly asked.
Hai Dashao calmly replied, "He's showing off his abilities."
"You don't like him?" Starsibyl looked at Hai Dashao, her eyes bright.
Hai Dashao clasped his hands behind his back. "He has nothing to do with me, so I can't say whether I like him or not. However, he's still a youngster, and showing off his abilities is better than hiding too much." He paused. "I remember that he defeated Tian Hou, but Tian Hou cannot be defeated with brute strength. This person's technique is strange."
Starsibyl smiled. "Let's wait and see. Perhaps he'll bring you a pleasant surprise."
Hai Dashao did not think much of it. This person was very strong, and his physical strength could even break through mechanisms, but so what? At most, he would only be able to match an expert at the bottom of the Top 100 Rankings. He looked towards the Skyfall Cascade to the northeast, where Ling Que and another person were. Cheng Wu was ranked sixty-ninth on the Top 100 Rankings, and he was the strongest out of everyone present. He was also the one with the highest chance of pulling out the Sea King's Trident.
Lu Yin was far from being able to compare to Cheng Wu.
However, Ling Que was the unluckiest, as he could not even cross the Skyfall Cascade. Even now, he still did not know of Cheng Wu's existence.
As he thought about this, Hai Dashao looked at Ling Que with interest. Compared to Lu Yin, he was more interested in Ling Que. After all, the Lingling clan's innate gift was just too powerful. If not for the fact that they were so few in number, their power would definitely surpass that of the Daynight clan. They were a terrifying clan.
Furthermore, very few people knew that one of the Ten Arbiters was from the Lingling clan.
