Everyone knew that battle force was a very powerful force, but it was also very difficult to cultivate, just like a domain. At present, there were at least a few thousand outstanding disciples on Planet Pyrolyte, but there were less than a hundred who cultivated battle force and domains. These were the elite disciples of the various great powers, which showed just how difficult it was to comprehend battle force and a domain.
The moment Long Yun's six-lined battle force appeared, the hearts of the various great powers sank. This was an overwhelming strength.
Lu Yin's eyes went wide as five-lined battle force coiled around his body. He had to release all of his strength just to resist Long Yun's six-lined battle force. A difference of one line was still very large.
With a whoosh, Long Yun swiftly appeared in front of Lu Yin and slashed down with his longsword without any intention of dodging. Lu Yin's eyes filled with star energy, and he retrieved the Giant Emperor's third eye with his left hand. He used Secret Sidestep to easily dodge Long Yun's sword and struck out with a palm, just like how he had dealt with Ze Lin.
It was the same attack, but Ze Lin had been defeated. Long Yun's lips curled up, and he did not dodge. Instead, he slashed out with his longsword. If Lu Yin's palm struck him, his sword would also strike Lu Yin. This was a battle where both sides would perish together, and Long Yun was extremely confident in his battle force.
Lu Yin could retreat, as his Secret Sidestep could guarantee that Long Yun would not be able to hit him. He believed that Long Yun could not surpass his Secret Sidestep's speed, but at this moment, a heroic spirit rose in his heart. He did not want to retreat, as he felt that if he did, his boldness would disappear.
There was a thump as Long Yun's abdomen forcefully endured Lu Yin's Thirty Stacks, Seventy-Tenfold Shockwave Palm. His clothes were torn apart, and the palm imprint was deeply embedded into his skin. Lu Yin's chest was also slashed by the sword, and scarlet blood splattered onto the ground. Both of them simultaneously retreated a hundred meters.
Long Yun exhaled and looked down at his abdomen. The deep palm imprint caused him intense pain, and his organs felt as if they had been crushed. His six-lined battle force had collapsed, and he was shocked. A Limiteer had actually forcefully collapsed his six-lined battle force. If such an attack was unleashed again, he would definitely be defeated. It was no wonder why Ze Lin could not even withstand a single attack.
Those able to cultivate battle qi to six lines, their fleshy body strength was not weak either. Even so, Lu Yin's palm nearly crippled Long Yun.
However, Lu Yin was not in a good state either. The horizontal slash wound on his chest had sunk deep into his bones. Not only had it shattered his five-lined battle force, but it had also torn his physical body apart. If Mister Mu had not helped Lu Yin raise his physical strength to the limit and transformed his body's toughness, then this slash would have cut him in two.
Both of them had left an extremely deep impression on each other after just a single exchange.
Lu Yin looked at Long Yun, and his lips curled up in excitement. "As expected of six-lined battle force. Its strength isn't something that five-lined battle force can compare to."
Long Yun exhaled and pressed down on his abdomen. "You care about six-lined battle force a lot?"
Lu Yin's eyes flashed, but he did not reply.
Long Yun stretched his neck. "Six-lined battle force is indeed incomparable to five-lined battle force. The higher you go, the greater the disparity. The limit you can withstand is six-lined battle force, right? Well then, this battle is over." As he spoke, the dark golden radiance on his body was replaced by a green radiance. Blue lines appeared on his longsword and illuminated the sky.
Countless people were stunned. This … this was seven-lined battle force.
This was Long Yun's true strength; he was a wielder of seven-lined battle force.
In the younger generation, there were very few people who could raise their battle force to seven-lined battle force, as it was too difficult. Lu Yin had only reached five-lined battle force during the Astral Combat Tournament, and it was only now that he showed signs of breaking through to six-lined battle force. This showed just how difficult it was to raise one's battle force. He had even raised his physical body to the limit, but Long Yun had actually comprehended seven-lined battle force.
At this moment, even the various great powers in outer space could not believe their eyes.
Mira was shocked as she looked at Planet Pyrolyte.
Moore walked out of his spacecraft and stared at Long Yun. He was a councilor from West San Dios and ranked twelfth on the Top 100 Rankings.
Avery also walked out of his spacecraft and looked at Long Yun.
Within the Ross Empire's spacecraft, a youth who had been sleeping suddenly opened his eyes and looked at Planet Pyrolyte in astonishment. Seven-lined battle force illuminated the heavens.
On Pyrolyte Mountain, Long Yun raised his sword and pointed it at Lu Yin. "Leave Planet Pyrolyte. I know that you have the Secret Sidestep, and I can't catch up to you. However, I can shatter the void. Can your Secret Sidestep guarantee that you can avoid me?
That range will be very large. "
Liu Shaoqiu and the others stared at Long Yun in shock. The current Long Yun was comparable to the top fifty of the Top 100 Rankings. He had hidden his strength too deeply. Once he broke through to the Cruiser realm, his strength would increase even further. At that time, even the top experts on the Top 100 Rankings would be wary of him. Furthermore, no one could guarantee that he would not be able to comprehend eight-lined battle force.
Once he successfully comprehended eight-lined battle force, he would instantly possess the strength to threaten the top ten of the Top 100 Rankings.
The universe's greatest powers were domains and battle force. When one reached the pinnacle of either, they would possess unfathomable strength. This was a path for ordinary people to surpass those with innate gifts. It was a path that led to the peak of powerhouses.
Long Yun did not have any innate gifts, and battle force was what he relied on to challenge the many freakish geniuses.
No one believed that Lu Yin could block Long Yun, as he definitely could not block seven-lined battle force. Six-lined battle force was more than enough to break through his defenses.
"Seventh Bro, this is trouble. Seven-lined battle force! That's seven-lined battle force! Humans are truly abnormal. Even a random person can be so powerful!" the monkey exclaimed.
Lu Yin stared in shock at Long Yun, who was wrapped in a green light that flickered with blue stripes. He raised a hand and felt as if he could touch the power of blue battle force. Was this seven-lined battle force?
It was so powerful.
"Are you going to retreat or not?"
Long Yun's sword spun. As long as Lu Yin said that he would not retreat, Long Yun would definitely destroy the void with a single slash. This was his confidence.
Lu Yin smiled bitterly. "I'm always one step behind you."
Long Yun was stunned, and he looked at Lu Yin in confusion.
Everyone else also looked at Lu Yin in confusion. One step behind?
What did that mean?
The Liu Shaoqiu's brows rose. Could it be?
Lu Yin suddenly looked up as a dark golden light shot into the sky from the surface of his body. The green stripes intertwined like ribbons and released a tyrannical fluctuation that shook people's hearts. This was six-lined battle force. After forcefully receiving Long Yun's attack, Lu Yin had not only been left with a large wound, but he had also gained six-lined battle force. His spirit had also reached a certain level.
The various great powers in outer space were speechless. How was this possible?
Had this brat been hiding his strength all this time?
Wen Qichen's brows twitched. "So this brat wanted to break through to battle force. This brat actually used Ling Que and the others to gain confidence."
In the Sword Sect, Elder Viletree was so angry that his beard curled up. "What a pity. If Long Yun had been one step behind, then this brat might not have been able to break through to six-lined battle force. What a pity, what a pity."
The other Enlighters had already guessed what was going on, and they all looked at Planet Pyrolyte strangely. Long Yun had appeared to snatch the mountain range, but in the end, he had helped Lu Yin improve his battle force. Now, there was no one in the Limiteer realm who could be his opponent. Perhaps even no one in the Neoverse could compare to him.
Long Yun stared at Lu Yin in a daze. "You just broke through?"
Lu Yin nodded and smiled. "I still have to thank you."
Long Yun smiled wryly, but he quickly composed himself. "The higher the level of battle force, the harder it is to cultivate. Similarly, the gap between battle force and battle force increases. Six-lined battle force and seven-lined battle force are two completely different levels. The same question: should I retreat or not?"
Lu Yin raised his hand and felt the strength of his six-lined battle force. He looked at Long Yun. "If I had five-lined battle force, then I definitely wouldn't be able to stop you, but I'm not so sure about six-lined battle force. I might not be able to defeat you, but I can at least protect myself. With the speed of the Secret Sidestep and the defensive power of my six-lined battle force, your sword's destructive power won't be that great. However, there's no need to continue fighting. Sorry, let's call it a day."
Long Yun did not hesitate to slash out with his sword, and his attack covered an entire region of the void. He wanted to keep Lu Yin here and completely eliminate this hidden danger.
Lu Yin's Flash and Secret Sidestep were still unable to escape from Long Yun's attack range. This attack was a battle technique, and Long Yun was getting serious.
Lu Yin turned around and fled towards the west. In front of him, Long Yun's sword qi was getting closer and closer. He raised a hand and wrapped his six-lined battle force around it as he struck out with all his strength. The sword qi collided with sparks from ten thousand meters away, and countless cracks appeared in the void. On the ground and in the sky, everything was collapsing. Blood flowed from Lu Yin's palm, and his six-lined battle force barely managed to hold on. Even at the very last moment, his defenses were still broken through.
Fortunately, he was still able to escape. The sword qi supported by seven-lined battle force did not have enough range to keep Lu Yin here.
Pyrolyte Mountain was silent as the Sword Sect disciples looked at Long Yun in adoration. Ever since Lu Yin's identity had been exposed, it had been like a huge mountain had been pressing down on everyone's heads. Finally, an expert who could defeat that person had appeared.
Long Yun fell silent. Defeat?
Not necessarily, as Lu Yin had escaped very easily. Furthermore, with his many years of battle experience, he could sense an indescribably dangerous aura from Lu Yin's body. This aura made him instinctively not want to chase after Lu Yin. This person had not been defeated, and he still had a trump card.
How troublesome. When did a Limiteer become so difficult to deal with? Even seven-lined battle force could not deal with him.
Long Yun sheathed his sword and returned to his lazy and leisurely self. He looked at his clothes and immediately changed into a new set, but it was still exactly the same. He then looked at Liu Shaoqiu and raised a hand to greet him. "Hey, Junior Brother."
Liu Shaoqiu looked at Long Yun seriously, deep in thought.
Long Yun raised an eyebrow and was somewhat wary. "Junior Brother, what are you thinking about? Let me tell you, your senior brother will definitely not fight with you."
Liu Shaoqiu's eyes flashed, and he walked over to Long Yun and bowed solemnly. "Senior Brother, please teach me how to improve my battle force."
Long Yun frowned and clutched his head in distress. "Junior Brother, you really don't know how lucky you are."
Liu Shaoqiu continued to bow.
Long Yun turned around. "In the entire Sword Sect, there are hundreds of thousands of disciples, but only you and her have inherited the Thirteen Swords. There's no need to mention her — she's a complete freak, but what about you?
Ever since you inherited the Thirteen Swords, you've been number one among your peers. No one can rival you, but you've lost your way. "
Liu Shaoqiu was puzzled.
Long Yun sighed. "You've lost yourself in battle. You believe that you lost to Lu Yin because of the Thirteen Swords and not because of yourself, so you want to cultivate your battle force and use it to strengthen the Thirteen Swords to challenge Lu Yin. You think that you can win by cultivating your battle force, right?"
Liu Shaoqiu did not deny it, as he had indeed thought so. Long Yun's battle force and Lu Yin's battle force had stimulated him greatly.
Long Yun smiled bitterly and shook his head. "Actually, if you can inherit the Thirteen Swords, who would want to cultivate battle force?"
Liu Shaoqiu's body trembled.
