The dragon was stunned. It had been hiding well and was ready to escape at any moment, but now, it was being bombarded by the suicidal birds.
In just a short while, the land collapsed and lava exploded. The Sylvan Dragon roared and rushed out of the ground. Its body was covered in green and purple bruises, and its huge eyes were a little dazed. However, they were quickly filled with anger as it roared at the sky.
Coincidentally, it was right above the battlefield where the Sixth Mainland's Elder Yuan and the cultivators from the Grayweed Continent were fighting.
The dragon's roar startled quite a few people.
Bai Ling was puzzled as well, as this monster had clearly been targeted at Lu Yin.
"Where did this beast come from? Scram!" Elder Yuan barked as he swatted at the dragon.
The dragon was stunned by the explosion, and it anxiously searched for the culprit. Elder Yuan's attack had become the perfect target for it to vent its anger. Countless afterimages of the dragon appeared in the sky, and they were so fast that Elder Yuan couldn't distinguish between them. The dragon slammed into him and sent him flying into the distance.
Beneath the ground, Lu Yin was astonished. Sylvan Dragons had the innate gift of extreme speed, and Sentinels could split into three, Melders could split into five, Limiteers could split into nine, and Explorers could split into dozens. Lu Yin estimated that there had to be over a thousand of them, which meant that this Sylvan Dragon was an Enlighter.
It was clearly afraid of death and had been hiding underground, but it was still quite powerful.
After knocking Elder Yuan away, the sylvan dragon regained its composure and glared down. It had guessed that it must have been that bastard human who had lured the birds in and was hiding behind it. "Human, you're too despicable!"
Lu Yin ignored it, but he could see a large number of rune lines surging towards him. As long as there was a sound, Bai Ling could create an unlimited number of birds.
Countless birds took to the skies once more, flapping their wings as they charged towards Lu Yin.
Lu Yin grew anxious. "Lan Si, you can't even stop a woman?"
Lan Si's gaze turned cold. He wanted to stop Bai Ling as well, but there were too many of her attacks.
Countless birds rushed towards Lu Yin, and he could tell that Bai Ling was determined to deal with him. Since that was the case, his gaze hardened and he leapt towards Bai Ling and Lan Si.
Bai Ling raised her brows, as she hadn't expected Lu Yin to dare approach her.
Lan Si shouted, "Back off! You don't have to interfere!"
"If you can handle me, then I wouldn't have come." Lu Yin turned to avoid the flock of birds and directly charged towards Bai Ling. He raised a palm and eight lined battle force imprinted on it. He then slapped out with Seventy Stacks.
Lan Si's gaze turned cold. He also made a move, but it was aimed at the flock of birds.
Bai Ling's lips curled up. He was overestimating himself. She could tell that Lu Yin's Overlaying Stacks was ferocious and that he was even supported by battle force, but so what? Even Lan Si's Overlaying Stacks would not be able to defeat her in a short amount of time, let alone an Explorer.
With the astral phenomenon suppression, the younger generation was able to display their full strength. Only those at the level of the Ten Arbiters were an exception, as their full strength had long since surpassed 200,000 power levels. It was just like how Nightking Zhenwu had completely suppressed Lu Yin back in the Daosource Sect's ruins. That was a disparity that could not be bridged.
But now, under the suppression of Celestial Phenomenon, Lu Yin wasn't even afraid of a powerhouse with a power level of 500,000. He could even fight against a Realmling.
There was a thump that shook the heavens, and it was accompanied by a strange sound wave that swept out in all directions. Lu Yin and Bai Ling both retreated at the same time. Lu Yin retreated a hundred meters while Bai Ling retreated several hundred meters. Blood flowed from the corner of her mouth; she had been injured.
Lan Si's expression changed. How was this possible?
Bai Ling stared at Lu Yin in disbelief. She could block even stronger attacks from Lan Si, and blocking this person would not be an exception. However, in that instant, her defensive power had been weakened. Was this a secret technique?
Lu Yin pushed Bai Ling back with a single palm and then rushed forward once again. If he could defeat a powerhouse with a power level of 300,000 like Elder Song, then he could defeat Bai Ling as well.
Bai Ling watched Lu Yin approach and exhaled. "Interesting." Then, the sounds of the battlefield converged and materialized into a martial seal in front of her. In that instant, Lu Yin's ears fell silent, as all sound seemed to be absorbed by the martial seal. At the same time, the flock of birds was also being absorbed. The entire world fell silent.
Lan Si was shouting something in the distance, but Lu Yin could not hear him. He could only see the martial seal emitting waves of sound that converged into a line and shot towards him.
Lu Yin casually waved his hand and activated the Yu Secret Art. The line was deflected, but it still brushed past his shoulder. The entire void was sliced apart, and he heard the sound again. His brain was greatly shaken, and an indescribable spiritual force poured into his brain through the wound on his shoulder.
Lu Yin spat out a mouthful of blood and staggered as he fell down.
He had underestimated the Realmlings, as they were the strongest powerhouses in their respective domains. There were many Enlighters in a single domain, and only the strongest powerhouses could break through the Enlighter realm and become Imprinters. The Realmlings were the strongest Imprinters in the future, and they would dominate an entire era.
Bai Ling was the Grand Martial Realm's Realmling, and her abilities and innate gifts were definitely comparable to that of an ordinary Enlighter. Even without the suppression from Celestial Phenomenon, she was not any weaker than Elder Song. She was a match for the Ten Arbiters.
The Ten Arbiters were not existences that Lu Yin could deal with right now. He was still a level away, and he was still an entire generation away.
Bai Ling pressed down with one hand, and her martial seal descended in a futile attempt to crush Lu Yin.
Lan Si appeared and forced the martial seal back. He glanced at Lu Yin. This person was indeed very strong, and even Lan Si would have to expend a great deal of effort to defeat him. This was enough to earn Lan Si's respect, but if Lu Yin wanted to fight against them, he was still a bit lacking. The difference of a single step was like the difference between heaven and earth.
There was a thump as Lu Yin crashed into the ground, causing the fiery red soil to heat up.
Lu Yin's hearing returned to normal, and he shook his head vigorously. What a powerful spiritual force attack! Even he had almost been unable to withstand it. This was the true strength of the Ten Arbiters, and he had still underestimated them.
He looked up and saw that Lan Si had blocked Bai Ling, but Lu Yin was certain that as long as she had the chance, Bai Ling would attack him.
There was fighting everywhere, and Lu Yin struggled to get up. He looked at his right arm, but thankfully, it was only a scratch.
In the sky, when Bai Ling saw Lu Yin get up, a trace of shock appeared in the depths of her eyes. She had not been shocked even when she had fought against Lan Si, but Lu Yin had shocked her. She was well aware of how powerful that spiritual force attack had been, but this person was still fine.
Just as Lu Yin was thinking about how to deal with Bai Ling, another figure crashed down at an extremely fast speed, smashing into the ground just a few meters away from Lu Yin.
Lu Yin had wanted to dodge, but the oppressive pressure around him made it impossible for him to do so. He was dragged into the ground by the falling figure, and when he finally came to a stop, he saw a cold glint in front of him. He instinctively tilted his head, and there was a thump. It was a very familiar spear. Was that the Sea King's Trident?
Lu Yin turned around and saw that not too far away, another figure had also been smashed into the ground. The figure was clutching his head as he stood up. He saw Lu Yin, and the two exchanged glances.
The atmosphere was a little awkward; it was indeed the Sea King. This man who had always maintained a dignified and domineering image in front of Lu Yin was now just as unlucky as Lu Yin.
"Stay away," the Sea King growled. He looked up and saw the Red Madam looking down from the sky with interest.
Lu Yin's scalp went numb, and he hurriedly tried to leave, but it was clearly too late. If Bai Ling could notice Lu Yin, then the Red Madam would naturally notice him as well. The Red Madam had intentionally pushed the Sea King in this direction, and she wanted to get rid of Lu Yin as well.
The air around him was filled with red mist, and Lu Yin had only taken a few steps when his feet were bound by the mist. No matter how much strength he used, he could not break free. Even more terrifying was that the red mist actually seeped into his body through his skin. He felt as if his muscles were being dissolved, and an intense pain engulfed his nerves.
The Sea King grabbed Lu Yin's shoulder and waved his hand, causing the Sea King's Trident to fly out. The wind from the spear swept past, and the red mist dissipated. "Stay away, kid. Don't let my daughter become a widow." The Sea King then threw Lu Yin away, but he had underestimated the Red Madam's determination to kill Lu Yin. The red mist that covered the entire area transformed into a formless net. The Sea King had just thrown Lu Yin away, but he immediately grabbed him back with an ugly expression. "Red Madam, why involve the younger generation in our battle?"
The Red Madam giggled. "Our battle?
Do you even have the qualifications to fight me? "
The Sea King's expression darkened.
"I've had enough fun, and I quite admire you. Come with me to the Sixth Mainland. You'll be able to develop better there." The Red Madam looked at the Sea King, not bothering to hide her interest in him.
Lu Yin stared at her blankly. How had the Sea King attracted this woman?
In terms of appearance, although Lu Yin was not particularly handsome, he was still far superior to the Sea King. In terms of power, this woman far surpassed the Sea King.
The Sea King gripped his spear tightly and looked up at the Red Madam. "I hate the color red."
The Red Madam's expression turned cold. "You don't know how to appreciate my kindness." She then disappeared and reappeared in front of the Sea King and Lu Yin. She stretched out a hand that was wrapped in red mist and grabbed at them. The red mist suddenly expanded several times and completely enveloped the Sea King and Lu Yin.
"Brat, if you survive, take care of Qiqi." The Sea King's expression was solemn as he raised his spear and stabbed out.
The moment the Sea King's spear pierced through the red mist, Lu Yin's eyes began to tear up. The Sea King's spear had actually managed to pierce through the red mist and into the Red Madam's palm, causing fresh blood to flow down the tip of the spear.
The Sea King was shocked; it had actually broken through?
The Red Madam felt an intense pain in her palm and looked on in disbelief. She was a World Imprinter with a power level of over 900,000. Even though her power level had been restricted to 200,000 due to Astronomical Phenomenon's suppression, she was still not someone that others could contend against. Her innate gift's usage had already reached perfection, and she should have been able to block the Sea King's spear, but it had actually been broken through.
Something wasn't right. The Red Madam had stared at Lu Yin for an instant. "Brat, was this your doing?"
Lu Yin's eyes narrowed, and tears of blood flowed down the corners of his eyes. He felt dizzy, as this was the price he had to pay. He had tried to use the Yu Secret Art to divert the red mist away, but it had been useless. The Red Madam had far surpassed him, and he had been forced to rely on the True Scripture of Eon Evolution to weaken the red mist's rune lines. Fortunately, he had succeeded, but it had caused him quite a bit of damage.
The Sea King did not waste this opportunity, and he exerted more strength with his spear in an attempt to pierce through the Red Madam's arm.
The Red Madam snorted, and the red mist above her head transformed into a world that crashed down, smashing both the Sea King and Lu Yin into the ground. The Sea King's Spear had even left his hand and stabbed into the ground.
