What made them even more flustered was that these lightning bolts would suddenly disperse as if they were playing a game. Many people felt a chill run down their spines as they were afraid that they would suddenly crash down.
There were nearly 800,000 cultivators, and more than 100,000 of them went to obstruct the Fifth Mainland's cultivators while the rest rushed towards the magnetic pole.
In this battle, the Sixth Mainland definitely did not have the upper hand in terms of numbers. There were hundreds of thousands of cultivators from the Fifth Mainland delaying the Sixth Mainland's forces, while at least two million cultivators were directly facing the Sixth Mainland.
In a one-on-one battle, the Fifth Mainland was definitely not a match for the Sixth Mainland, and their advantage in numbers was also an advantage.
When Lu Yin saw the black mass of cultivators rushing over, he was shocked. This was a different kind of battlefield from the astral battlefield, one that was crueler and bloodier.
The astral battlefield also had millions or even tens of millions of people, but most of them were hidden within spacecraft. If a spacecraft was destroyed, it would be normal for tens of thousands of people to die, and those who died would be turned into ash that could not be seen or sensed. However, this battlefield was a complete grindstone of blood and flesh, and the only thing that could be compared to this was a border war.
In reality, this battle was no different from a border war, as both sides had a blood feud that could not be resolved.
The magnetic pole was located at the center of the three islands, and the millions of cultivators from the Fifth Mainland and the Sixth Mainland were engaged in a life and death battle on these three islands.
"Brother, I get along very well with you. Why don't you leave your name?" Ling Que sent an Innerverse cultivator flying with a kick as he spoke to the cultivator from the Sixth Mainland who had been harassing him.
The cultivator's face turned ugly, as he had been extremely aggrieved by what had happened along the way. Ling Que had actually forced himself to talk the entire way, and he had not even repeated himself. The topic had always revolved around the same topic, which was suicide. Where did Ling Que's confidence come from?
"Brother, just say it. Don't be shy. Brother Que knows that you need to be enlightened. Actually …" Ling Que continued to talk nonsense.
Lu Yin felt strange, and he saw that the cultivator Ling Que was talking to was becoming more and more unsightly. He stepped forward and pulled Ling Que away. "Stop talking. Let's go."
Ling Que was dissatisfied. "Don't cause trouble. Brother Que is about to reach the peak of his life."
Lu Yin growled, "You're not his opponent."
Ling Que was flabbergasted, and just as he was about to say something, the three islands suddenly shook. Then, a bolt of lightning connected the sky and the magnetic pole appeared.
The island was dyed red with blood as countless people wailed in agony. Countless people were reduced to ashes by the lightning.
The sight of millions of people slaughtering each other was shocking, and the cultivators of the Sixth Mainland all released their imprints. Anyone who didn't release their imprints could be considered an enemy. This was the Sixth Mainland's method of distinguishing friend from foe.
Lu Yin, Starsibyl, and Ling Que did not have imprints. Even though they had always mingled with the cultivators of the Sixth Mainland, they were still treated as enemies.
Another cultivator who had not released his imprint was the cultivator who had been entangled by Ling Que.
Could it be that this person was also from the Fifth Mainland?
That person also looked at Lu Yin's group with murderous intent in his eyes.
Lu Yin felt a chill run down his spine, as he felt that something was wrong. This person was actually giving him pressure.
It was at this moment that the lightning at the center of the three islands completely exploded. Lightning flickered in the sky and fell down with a loud rumble. The sky was about to turn dark.
Then, countless thunderbolts were attracted to the center of the island. The magnetic pole had appeared.
The magnetic pole that millions of people had been fighting over had finally appeared, and countless people had gone berserk. At this moment, the people closest to the magnetic pole were Old Sixteen's group and the cultivators from the Fifth Mainland who were fighting against them.
Old Sixteen had imprinted Ancestor Lingtong, and he was a Cruiser. With the support of his imprint and bloodline, he was not at a disadvantage against two Cruisers from the Fifth Mainland. There were quite a few Explorers on the Top 100 Rankings, and aside from the Neoverse experts, most of the younger generation who had reached the Cruiser realm were at the top of the Top 100 Rankings.
One of the people fighting against Old Sixteen was Ke Nan, who was ranked 20th and wielded a pike. The other person was probably from the Neoverse, and the two of them had to work together to suppress Old Sixteen.
Old Sixteen was surrounded by disciples from Imprinter clans. Regardless of whether it was their bloodline battle techniques or their imprints, they were not something that ordinary cultivators could compare to. Most of the people fighting against them were disciples from great powers of the Innerverse, such as the Lingling clan, the Dire Barbarian Clan, and some people from the Chaos Flowzone. Even so, their top powers were still suppressed by the Sixth Mainland.
If not for the experts from the Neoverse appearing, then the Innerverse's younger generation would not have been able to stop the Sixth Mainland's cultivators. Even if the entire Top 100 Rankings appeared, they might not be able to stop the Sixth Mainland's younger generation.
There were simply too many Imprinters in the Sixth Mainland.
At that moment, a figure tore through the void, and a sky full of palms descended. All of the Sixth Mainland's cultivators within a hundred-kilometer radius spat out blood and died. Even Old Sixteen was affected, and he retreated in shock, not daring to face the attack head-on.
"Hua Xiao?" someone cried out.
Hua Xiao was a King-Ranked expert who had risen to prominence in the Cosmic Sea's Thunderstorm Region. He was from the Sirius Sect in the Neoverse, and even the Realmlings had to be cautious when mentioning this person.
In the distance, Lu Yin looked towards the center of the island and saw the invincible Hua Xiao. His eyes burned with passion, as he recognized that this person was using the Sirius Technique. Hundreds of stars revolved around him, and ordinary people would not be able to see them. The more stars there were, the clearer the enemy's attack speed could be seen, and it could even be simulated.
Lu Yin had simulated many battle techniques in the past, and he had also used the Sirius Technique to secretly learn the Skybeast Claw. If not for the fact that the Sirius Technique could not keep up, this technique would have been his main battle technique.
Mister Mu had given him the method to cultivate the Sirius Technique up to ninety-nine stars, but he had not given him any further instructions.
Now, Lu Yin had seen Hua Xiao and the terrifying might of hundreds of stars revolving around him.
Hua Xiao had appeared, and he had suppressed all of the Sixth Mainland's cultivators by himself. Even Old Sixteen did not dare to step forward. Hua Xiao cleared the area without any obstructions and then reached out to grab the magnetic pole.
Suddenly, a furious roar shook the heavens and the earth as a malevolent mouth rose from the ground and expanded endlessly. Finally, it filled the sky and bit towards Hua Xiao.
Hua Xiao's expression changed. "Taotie, Nan Yanfei!" He raised both arms and slowly raised his palms, gently waving them about. Finally, he turned into an afterimage as he slapped towards the malevolent mouth. "Transforming Star's Soft Palm."
The malevolent mouth was like a terrifying monster that covered the sky above the island. Everyone felt their scalps go numb, as they were afraid that they would be swallowed whole. This was not a real mouth, but rather a vortex.
In the distance, Lu Yin and the other two stared blankly at the cultivator who was being held back by Ling Que. The malevolent mouth had been released by this person, and this person had instantly displayed a strength that shocked all of them.
Starsibyl immediately recognized him. "It's Nan Yanfei. Let's go."
Ling Que blinked, as he had obviously heard of Nan Yanfei before. Nan Yanfei was the Blood Homage Realm's Realmling, one of the Sixth Mainland's Nine Great Powerhouses, second only to the Daosource Three Skies. Had he just tried to trick Nan Yanfei into committing suicide?
If he had succeeded, then he would have reached the pinnacle of his life.
What a pity. Lu Yin had not expected Nan Yanfei to be in their group. This meant that the other group that was supposed to be providing support was not the main force that was going to snatch the magnetic pole. This group that seemed to be acting as bait was actually the main force, but in reality, it was a fake.
At the center of the island, Hua Xiao's hands danced as the malevolent mouth continuously shrank. He was not using any offensive battle techniques, but rather, he was dissolving star energy. This was a lockbreaking technique.
Everyone in the Sirius Sect knew how to lockbreak, and as one of the Sirius Sect's true disciples, Hua Xiao's lockbreaking ability was extremely strong. He had long since reached the level of five star Perceptive Intermediate. The only reason he had not broken through to the Boundless Advanced level was because of other reasons, not because he was unwilling to do so.
He had the power to lockbreak a Realmling's battle technique.
Lockbreakers' battle techniques were unique, and they could dispel star energy and fight above their own Realms. Thus, Lockbreakers were a powerful group, and the Sirius Sect was the ruler of this group.
Even Nan Yanfei had not expected his battle technique to be unlocked. No matter how powerful it was, his star energy had been dispelled step by step and could not be used.
Hua Xiao's lockbreaking of Nan Yanfei's battle technique gave the Fifth Mainland's cultivators great encouragement. Even if a Realmling appeared, they would still be able to resist.
On the other hand, the Sixth Mainland's cultivators felt their hearts tremble. Realmlings were experts second only to the Daosource Three Skies. If even a Realmling was blocked by someone other than one of the Ten Arbiters, then this battle would be very dangerous.
Hua Xiao, who was at the center of all this, was not feeling relaxed.
Lightning flashed past him, illuminating his face.
His expression was extremely solemn as he looked into the distance. Through the battlefield, he saw a calm face; it was Nan Yanfei. Nan Yanfei did not seem to be feeling helpless because his battle technique had been dispelled. Instead, his eyes were filled with curiosity and excitement, as well as a desire to battle.
If a Realmling could be defeated so easily, then he would not be a Realmling, as he was an existence that could rival the Ten Arbiters. Even though Hua Xiao came from the Neoverse, he was still filled with apprehension towards the Ten Arbiters. Those ten monsters could not be differentiated by region.
The magnetic pole was at the center of the island, and Hua Xiao was very close to it. With him around, no cultivator from the Sixth Mainland would dare to fight over it. However, Nan Yanfei's existence was a hurdle that he had to overcome. Otherwise, the magnetic pole would have nothing to do with him.
Nan Yanfei's lips curled up, and he pulled out the leg of an unknown creature from his cosmic ring. He then took a bite out of it and ate it with relish.
Hua Xiao's eyebrows rose, and he suddenly charged towards the magnetic pole.
Nan Yanfei casually waved his hand and tore through the void. When he reappeared, he was already not too far away from Hua Xiao. He swallowed the food in one gulp and then raised his right fist to smash at Hua Xiao. Hua Xiao danced with one hand, and afterimages appeared in Nan Yanfei's path of attack. The afterimages were shattered, but Hua Xiao was able to catch Nan Yanfei's fist.
"Sirius Sect. I've long since heard of you," Nan Yanfei said excitedly as he licked his lips. The skin on his fist hardened, and hard spikes appeared on it. Hua Xiao felt a piercing pain in his hand, and he immediately let go. Nan Yanfei took the opportunity to punch out again, this time even more ruthless than before.
Stars revolved around Hua Xiao's body, and he raised his palm. Stars appeared as he unleashed the Sirius Palm.
A violent explosion shook the island, and the stars exploded. Nan Yanfei was pushed back a hundred meters by the Sirius Palm, and the entire island was split in two. The shockwaves turned into a strong gale that swept out, and all the cultivators within ten thousand meters were pushed back. Some of them were even heavily injured by the exploding stars.
In the distance, Lu Yin's eyes burned with passion. The Sirius Palm had caused hundreds of stars to explode. It was indeed powerful.
After pushing back Nan Yanfei, Hua Xiao did not stop. He raised his right palm again, and it was also the Sirius Palm. Stars descended and then exploded.
Nan Yanfei snorted, and his figure flickered as he disappeared, attempting to use speed to avoid the Sirius Palm.
Lu Yin knew that Nan Yanfei was in for a bad time; the Sirius Technique was not afraid of speed.
