Lu Yin's pupils shrank. He could clearly see the sword, but he couldn't dodge it. The sword's speed had exceeded his body's ability to react. It was too fast, too fast. Or perhaps it was because his movements had slowed down. Either way, he wouldn't have been able to escape under normal circumstances.
He waved his right hand and used the Yu Secret Art when Zhiyi's sword pierced towards him. The Sword of Natural Origin Energy was diverted, and it pierced through thin air, slicing through the void and splitting the world in half.
Lu Yin narrowly avoided the sword and raised his hand to grab the hilt of the Sword of Natural Origin Energy. He activated the Overlaying Stacks technique, and the Hundred Stacks vibrated through the sword towards Zhiyi. Zhiyi let go of the sword, but she was still a little too late. The vibrations had traveled along the sword hilt and injured her fingers. Although she didn't bleed, it was obvious that her index and middle fingers had been bent and fractured.
Lu Yin quickly retreated, his eyes gleaming with excitement. He had seen hope of defeating Zhiyi; this woman was almost unbeatable. Her defense was invincible, her attacks were strange, and she also had a strange sword technique. She truly surpassed Nan Yanfei, and no matter what he did, he couldn't defeat her. He couldn't even injure her.
However, no one was perfect. He had taken a risk to test her, and sure enough, her physical strength wasn't that great. As long as he could break through the formless barrier, he could defeat her using the Overlaying Stacks technique.
In the distance, Zhiyi looked at her right hand, and then she looked up at Lu Yin. "You're quite bold. You didn't even have the confidence to break through Yuan Tiangang's attack, but you still dared to approach me. Ever since I became a Daosource Three Skies cultivator, aside from those two, you're the first person to injure me."
"You also used a secret technique to dodge my sword. You have more than one secret technique. Who exactly are you?"
Lu Yin's lips curled up. "You're not invincible."
Zhiyi raised her head. "Of course not. I can tell you clearly that I'm not good at physical defense. As long as you can break through Origin Dipper, you can use a secret technique to fight me. Unfortunately, you'll never be able to break through Origin Dipper."
In the distance, Hua Xiao stared at Zhiyi, trying to find a way to break through Origin Dipper, but he couldn't find anything.
Starsibyl was also staring at Zhiyi, trying to think of a way to break through Origin Dipper.
She could use divination to delay the imprinter, but Zhiyi could also use Origin Dipper to become invincible.
"I've had enough fun. Two secret techniques that have the ability to resist natural Genesis Qi. You're very interesting. I won't kill you, but I'll take you back to the Daosource Sect. Perhaps we can find a way to improve your natural Genesis Qi there." As she spoke, the formless barrier around Zhiyi's body suddenly expanded, and it instantly enveloped Lu Yin, forming an enormous formless barrier.
Lu Yin frowned and tried to tear through the void to leave the barrier's range, but he found that he couldn't. The barrier had enveloped the entire area, and unless he could break through it, he wouldn't be able to leave.
The next moment, the invisible barrier suddenly shrank. Lu Yin pressed his hands against the barrier and unleashed the Hundred Stacks in a futile attempt to break it open, but he failed.
"You can't break through Origin Dipper. Come with me," said Zhiyi coldly. The formless barrier of light continued to shrink.
Lu Yin was squeezed by the shrinking barrier, and he was forced to retreat in Zhiyi's direction. If Zhiyi didn't have another layer of Origin Dipper, he would have been more than happy to engage in close combat. However, Zhiyi's Origin Dipper was unbreakable, and the closer he got to Zhiyi, the greater the danger he felt.
He was now less than ten meters away from Zhiyi, which was an extremely dangerous distance. Zhiyi's strength was enough to heavily injure him.
In the distance, Starsibyl's eyes flickered.
Lu Yin repeatedly slammed his palm against the formless barrier, but he was still forced back in Zhiyi's direction.
It was as if Zhiyi had caught him in her palm, and he couldn't escape or resist.
"Hand over everything I want to know, and I won't kill you. I'll even allow you to join the Sixth Mainland's Daosource Sect and become a Red Servant under my command," Zhiyi said coldly. Seeing that Lu Yin was right in front of her, she condensed another sword of natural Genesis Qi. Countless sword lights flashed, shattering the void.
Before, it had only been one sword, but now, it was countless.
Lu Yin could use the Yu Secret Art to divert one sword, but he couldn't divert countless. It was just like how Nightking Zhenwu had suppressed him in the past. Just as he was about to use the Aeon Evolution True Scripture to weaken Zhiyi's sword technique, the sky in the distance suddenly changed. An indescribable pressure suddenly descended, and the sky collapsed.
Zhiyi's countless swords suddenly changed directions and pierced behind her. At the same time, an invisible force gathered in the void and transformed into the illusory image of a man with closed eyes. His hands slowly spread apart, forming numerous afterimages that paused in the void. Finally, his palms came together and perfectly caught Zhiyi's sword of natural Genesis Qi. Zhiyi's terrifying sword technique was suppressed just like that.
Lu Yin was stunned. Was this … a domain?
In the distance, a figure tore through the void and walked out. His eyes were closed as he faced Zhiyi. As he appeared, the illusory image of the man with his palms together vanished, and Zhiyi's sword of natural Genesis Qi also vanished.
Starsibyl stared at the newcomer in astonishment. One of the Ten Arbiters, Invisible Light.
Among the Ten Arbiters, there was one whose eyes were forever closed. Legend had it that he did not need eyes, as his battle technique had blinded him. There were also legends that said that when he opened his eyes, the world would lose all light. In short, there were many legends about Invisible Light, and many people were curious about his name. Invisible Light did not sound like a name, but he was indeed called Invisible Light. It was as if his eyes were tightly shut, and he would never be able to see the light.
One of the Ten Arbiters, Invisible Light, had arrived.
None of the Ten Arbiters could be underestimated. The Realmlings were on par with the Ten Arbiters in terms of status and strength. Zhiyi was above the Realmlings, but that did not mean that she was above the Ten Arbiters.
Invisible Light was a mysterious existence even among the Ten Arbiters.
"I've long heard of the Daosource Three Skies, and I'm honored to meet you today." Invisible Light slowly walked through the void and faced Zhiyi. Although he could not see, at his level of cultivation, it made no difference whether he could see or not.
Zhiyi had a strange look in her eyes. "Invisible Light of the Ten Arbiters? I've heard a lot about you. Was that your domain?"
"That's right," Invisible Light replied.
Zhiyi sighed in admiration. "You're worthy of praise for being able to cultivate your domain to such a level."
Invisible Light's lips curled up. "Is it only worthy of praise?
Why don't you ask the Daosource Three Skies for guidance? "
"Sure," Zhiyi happily agreed. She was now almost certain that the person who had impersonated her was Invisible Light. Aside from the Ten Arbiters, who else in the Fifth Mainland could do such a thing? However, how had this person obtained a Life Origin Token?
Their personalities did not resemble each other, but no one else could have done such a thing.
"Dodge!" Starsibyl suddenly barked.
A cold light exploded in front of Lu Yin's eyes as Zhiyi once again condensed a sword of raw energy. She turned around and slashed at him in an attempt to heavily injure him. He hurriedly used the Yu Secret Art to transfer his sword, and the sword light was deflected. However, he quickly followed up with a second attack. At this moment, a vast domain swept over them, and both Zhiyi and Lu Yin felt as if they were stuck in a quagmire.
Invisible Light's forcefield was a phantom image of himself that had been magnified a hundred times. As he raised his hand, the phantom image that was a hundred meters tall also raised its hand and pressed down on Zhiyi. Even Lu Yin was caught in the attack.
Lu Yin cursed under his breath and tried to escape, but he was trapped by the invisible barrier.
Zhiyi raised her hand, and her raw energy transformed into a giant palm that could be seen with the naked eye. It collided with the invisible domain.
The void exploded like a sudden clap of thunder. An enormous bolt of lightning flashed past, and the sky was densely filled with countless cracks. As for Lu Yin, he had been knocked down into the sea by the two of them. The moment that Zhiyi's domain had struck him, the formless barrier that had trapped him had been taken away by Zhiyi, and he had been caught off guard.
He experienced what Nan Yanfei had experienced before, and the sea was icy cold. Fortunately, he had broken through to the Cruiser realm and had a powerful physical body, which allowed him to avoid being heavily injured. Otherwise, he would have suffered even if he had been swept by the shockwaves.
Lu Yin looked up and saw two mighty forces colliding on the surface of the sea. The invisible forcefield was a phantom image that was a hundred meters tall, while Zhiyi's raw energy could take on any form. It was like two giants clashing against each other. Regardless of whether it was the invisible domain or Zhiyi's raw energy, neither was something that ordinary cultivators could withstand.
Even the shockwaves that swept across the battlefield caused the millions of cultivators on the battlefield to suffer. The invisible domain's suppression caused them to vomit blood, while Zhiyi's raw energy turned them to dust. Each was more terrifying than the last.
Starsibyl and Hua Xiao had both retreated, as they did not need to interfere in this battle.
The Ten Arbiters were very powerful, and everyone considered them to be on par with the Realmlings. However, the Daosource Three Skies had always been above the Ten Arbiters.
Lu Yin had been suspicious for a long time. The Ten Arbiters usually won more than they lost against the Realmlings, so did that mean that they could challenge the sixth continent's Daosource Three Skies?
Did that mean that they represented an even higher level of power?
Back on Earth, there had been seven Skysoars, and they were known as the Seven Sages. The Seven Sages were also divided into three upper Sages and four lower Sages. Although both sides were known as the Seven Sages, there was a huge difference in power. What about the Ten Arbiters?
Was there a similar division between the Ten Arbiters?
Was it just that no one else knew about it?
Or perhaps, they had never truly fought against each other before?
Lu Yin hid at the bottom of the sea and watched as the two peak experts of the same generation battled it out.
Unfortunately, if not for the suppression from Tian Xiang, the battle between the two would have been even more exciting.
The sea roared, and Zhiyi's domain, which did not see any light, clashed with her life energy for more than ten minutes without showing any signs of weakening.
At a glance, the entire sea seemed to be their battlefield.
There were no fancy moves in their battle, and they relied solely on their domains and their life energy. As more and more shockwaves rippled out, the millions of cultivators were forced to stop their battle and wait for the final battle between the two.
It was extremely rare for someone to cultivate a domain to the point where it could not see light. At the very least, Zhiyi had never seen someone like this in her dozens of years of cultivation.
The life energy that she cultivated was considered a top-notch technique even in the Sixth Mainland, and there were very few people in the Sixth Mainland's Daosource Sect who could cultivate it. Anyone who could cultivate it was a top-notch expert, and she had relied on her life energy to stand at the top of the Daosource Three Skies. Now, however, her life energy was actually being blocked by a domain.
No one would believe her if she said this, as she had never thought that there would come a day when her life energy would be blocked by a domain.
It was not just this domain that could not see light. She glanced down and saw that the man did not seem to care about life energy at all. There must be something wrong with his constitution.
Regardless, it was a fact that her life energy was unable to invade the domain that could not see light. At the very least, due to Tian Xiang's suppression, she was unable to do so with a power level below 200,000. Since that was the case, Zhiyi suddenly stopped releasing her life energy. Instead, she charged towards the domain that could not see light. She wanted to rely on her Genesis Dipper and her sword techniques to cut down the domain that could not see light.
