Bu Kong frowned as he lightly tapped out and broke the arrow. Tai Yishen took advantage of that opportunity to quickly retreat. He panted heavily once he got to safety, as he had nearly died.
Bu Kong looked at where the arrow had flown from, as it had clearly come from Little Arrow Saint; only a Realmling-level attack could catch Bu Kong’s attention. However, Little Arrow Saint clearly was not the one who had shot this arrow at Bu Kong.
Bu Kong’s mind replayed what had just happened across the entire battlefield, and his gaze settled onto Lu Yin and the man beside him. What had these two people done? How had they redirected Little Arrow Saint’s arrow towards him?
A secret technique? Little Arrow Saint directed feverish eyes towards Lu Yin, as this person’s value was incredible. Not only would Little Arrow Saint be able to claim Zhi Yi’s promised reward by capturing Lu Yin alive, which meant that he would be able to meet the Progenitor of Bloodlines, but this person also had a secret technique on him.
Did Zhi Yi also want to capture Lu Yin because of this secret technique?
Lu Yin had been left with no other choice, as he could not simply watch on as Tai Yishen died. Also, Lu Yin wanted to get into contact with Gods’ Origin, and it would even be best if he could visit them and learn from them, as that might let him advance his Truesight another step.
A secret technique could turn the rotten into the mysterious, but they were not necessarily invincible. Bu Kong’s Time Reversal Technique had managed to slap Tai Yishen back to his childhood, which was enough for Bu Kong to almost claim Tai Yishen’s life. However, he had been rescued by Lu Yin. Within these few seconds, Tai Yishen had already recovered to his normal state, and he glanced over at Lu Yin with a grateful expression before refocusing on Bu Kong. “So that’s your secret technique? Such a move will not work on a god like me again.”
Bu Kong averted his gaze from Lu Yin. However, this time, he simply ignored Tai Yishen and looked over at Zhi Yi instead.
Zhi Yi’s expression changed, and she paused. Across from her, Xin Nü’s face had gone pale, as she was struggling to defend herself against one of the Daosource Three Skies.
“After this battle, I’ll find you and settle things,” Zhi Yi told Xin Nü. The Daosource Three Skies member then retreated back to the Champions’ Stage.
With Zhi Yi’s return, Tai Yishen immediately retreated. He was daring enough to challenge one member of the Daosource Three Skies, but he did not dare to attempt fighting against two at once. He was not stupid.
“It’s time to put a full stop to the situation in the Cosmic Sea,” Zhi Yi said.
Bu Kong grew excited. “I’ve been waiting for this moment for a long time. After playing with this trash all this time, it’s time to end things.”
Zhi Yi took a deep breath as her Vitality Qi descended upon a vast area, looking like a fog cloud as it spread out and gradually enveloped the entire battlefield.
An attack containing a boundless amount of Vitality Qi suddenly targeted all of the Fifth Mainland cultivators. As if they had received a signal, the Sixth Mainland’s Sword Scholar, Little Arrow Saint, Shi Zhongjian, who had been entangled with Qiu Shi, and Di Fa, who was stalling War King Xing Kai, all leaped up and moved onto the Champions’ Stage.
Millions watched on as Bu Kong shouted, “Step onto the Champions’ Stage and break through the Whitecliff Region! Up!”
The Champions’ Stage trembled as two of the Daosource Three Skies and four Realmlings raced towards the south with the stage. They wanted to break through the Whitecliff Region’s battlefield to reach a region where there was no cosmic phenomenon suppressing their power levels.
The expressions of Xing Kai and all the other Fifth Mainland cultivators changed drastically, and they all charged towards the Champions’ Stage in unison.
Lu Yin’s expression also changed when he realized Zhi Yi and Bu Kong’s plan; this group of people had acted suddenly and had clearly made adequate preparations. The Fifth Mainland’s older generation was not made up of fools, and if they allowed the Sixth Mainland to truly break through the Whitecliff Region, then the Sixth Mainland’s Imprinters would be allowed to use their full strength. If that happened, then the Fifth Mainland’s older generation would have to make a move as well.
Despite knowing what would happen, Bu Kong’s group still wanted to break through the Whitecliff Region. Thus, would those old powerhouses from the Sixth Mainland remain hidden?
Lu Yin was not the only one with such thoughts, as similar ones were running through everyone’s minds at this moment. Currently, their only goal was to stop Bu Kong and the others from leaving the Whitecliff Region. Even their original goal of taking back the Champions’ Stage could be postponed.
Xing Kai, Serati Phoenix, Shu Jing, Qiu Shi, and all the other young elites from the Fifth Mainland raced after the Champions’ Stage.
Zhi Yi’s body suddenly surged as she used Sky Dipper. Lu Yin hurriedly called out, “Careful about being caught up by that barrier!”
Xing Kai let out a yell as his body suddenly grew larger, reaching ten meters, then a hundred, and finally a thousand. He had become a giant that towered high into the sky, and he quickly slammed a hand down.
Zhi Yi’s Sky Dipper was not able to completely cover the newly emerged giant, so she could only reluctantly retract her attack. Shi Zhongjian attacked next, his Heaven Splitter slicing through the void towards Xing Kai.
Shu Jing tapped out, unleashing an attack that soared out in a straight line. Zhi Yi’s Vitality Qi blocked from the front, and Sword Scholar and Di Fa launched simultaneous attacked while Serati Phoenix and Qiu Shi continued to press forward.
The sky shattered as the top-tier young experts from the two mainlands fought high in the sky in a glorious battle royale. This was the highest level battlefield of the younger generation.
Bu Kong snorted, stepped away from the Champions’ Stage, and suddenly charged straight at Xing Kai, who was the closest Fifth Mainland cultivator to the stage. Xing Kai’s body was too massive, making it impossible for him to dodge aside, which resulted in Bu Kong’s attack easily landing. However, Xing Kai and Bu Kong had fought multiple times before, and by now, the Arbiter had a good understanding of this member of the Daosource Three Skies’ techniques.
When Bu Kong stepped back onto the Champions’ Stage, the Arbiter’s body had already returned to normal. His mouth opened wide as he let out an unearthly scream, waves visibly sweeping across the area as the sound echoed in all directions.
Bu Kong’s gaze grew solemn. “I already told you that it’s useless.”
With that, the sound waves that had nearly materialized instantly dissolved away as more arrows rained down on Xing Kai from above.
Tai Yishen suddenly appeared, and his pupils transformed into runes as he stared at the arrows. The volley of arrows subsequently had their strength wiped away until they were ultimately shattered by Xing Kai’s punch.
It was a chaotic battle, and those who did not have a sufficient level of strength could not even participate. Aside from the two Daosource Three Skies members who were both Enlighters, all of the other participants were Hunters.
The battle did not last for very long, but it made the millions of cultivators below them feel imperiled, as any aftershock from the battle in the sky could kill countless people.

Lu Yin stared at the battle in shock, and Gu Xiao’er also rose up from where he had been standing near the surface of the sea, similarly stunned. “Although I’m confident of holding back one Realmling, I’m not confident enough to join a battle that’s on this level.”
“You can release that white smoke to protect yourself,” said the man who had been standing next to Lu Yin for a while.
Gu Xiao’er looked over at the man. “So it’s Xia Tian. You’re pretty smart. Alright, I’ll provide some cover for us.”
He then pulled out a loose item from his cosmic ring and drummed it with some strange method, which caused more white smoke to be released that then slowly wafted over towards the Champions’ Stage.
Xia Tian? Lu Yin was astonished, as he recognized this name: this person was number one on the Top 100 Rankings. It was no wonder why he had been able to go up against a Realmling all on his own.
In the Innerverse and the Outerverse, Xia Tian was the person ranked highest with the exception of the Ten Arbiters, and he was well qualified to have the title of King. With this battle, Xia Tian might even qualify to participate in the contest at the Astral Tower.
Xia Tian and Xia Luo both had the same primeval surname; could there be some sort of relationship between these two? Hold on. Lu Yin suddenly understood why Xia Tian had given him a familiar feeling—the outline of his face was a bit similar to Xia Luo’s.
Xia Tian looked at Lu Yin and smiled. “I heard Xia Luo mention you, Brother Lu. Now we’ve finally met.”
Lu Yin suddenly realized something. “You and Xia Luo are…?”
“Relatives,” Xia Tian replied.
Upon hearing this, Lu Yin thought of another person. “Then you and Xia Ye are also…?”
“Relatives,” Xia Tian repeated.
Lu Yin still had a deep impression of Xia Ye. That person had only been an Area Master, but he had ultimately revealed an astounding level of strength during the Astral Combat Tournament when he had defeated Chaosgod Mountain’s Cang Shi with four lined battle force. Even Kuang Wang might not have been his match.
Xia Luo, Xia Ye, Xia Tian—these three people all had the same primeval surname.
“Brother Lu and Xia Luo passed Astral-10’s entrance exam together, and it’s very impressive for you to have reached your current heights,” Xia Tian marveled.
Lu Yin heaved a sigh of relief and soon became lost in thought. Although the person in front of him was not one of the Ten Arbiters, he still was the person ranked at the top of the Top 100 Rankings, which meant that, out of the countless members of the entire younger generation in the Innerverse and Outerverse, he was ranked eleventh. That was truly terrifying, as once the Ten Arbiters abdicated, this person was practically guaranteed to inherit one of their positions. In some sense, he could be considered as a future Arbiter.
More importantly, this person was not much older than Lu Yin, and he was even younger than Tai Yuanjun. This meant that he was one step younger than the Ten Arbiters, which was proof of his terrifying talent.
“Brother Xia is too kind. I wonder, how has Xia Luo been?” Lu Yin asked.
Xia Tian sighed and shook his head, causing Lu Yin’s heart to sink. Could it be?
“I don’t know,” Xia Tian replied.
Lu Yin was rendered speechless. Why would this person sigh in such a manner if he simply did not even know? That reaction had caused Lu Yin to momentarily assume that Xia Luo had died.
The white smoke wafted across the sky before forming strands that started to encircle the area around Xing Kai and Serati Phoenix. This white smoke had even been able to block Little Arrow Saint’s attacks, and it was very strange. In short, it served as another layer of protection for the two Arbiters.
The white smoke released by Gu Xiao’er attracted the attention of Bu Kong and others as it moved through the sky. One person actually dashed up from the sea to attack Gu Xiao’er, quickly revealing himself to be Crimson Servant, or Qiu He. As a powerhouse from the Daosource Sect who had once challenged the Daosource Three Skies, this person was no weaker than a Realmling, and his arrival put a great deal of pressure on Gu Xiao’er. “I didn’t do it on purpose!”
Qiu He merely snorted in response, as he had been holding his frustrations back for a long time. Ever since the battle in the thunder region, Qiu He had stewed over the conversation that had publicly taken place over the semi-Lifesource tokens. Currently, all he wanted to do was kill Gu Xiao’er to vent his emotions.
Qiu He was a rather stubborn person. Although Lu Yin and Xia Tian were both nearby, Qiu He chose not to attack either one of them and instead focused his efforts on Gu Xiao’er.
Lu Yin and Xia Tian exchanged glances as they watched Gu Xiao’er be chased around by Qiu He. This matter was none of their business.
Rather, Lu Yin was still trying to come up with a method to restrict the Sixth Mainland, and during this entire time, the Champions’ Stage continued to fly south while under the control of Bu Kong and the others. Lu Yin had no doubt that the moment Bu Kong and the others escaped from the area under the suppression of the cosmic phenomenon, the old monsters from the Sixth Mainland would suddenly appear.
Those monsters were definitely hiding somewhere close by, ready to strike at any moment, and the Fifth Mainland’s old experts had to be doing the same thing as well. The Hall of Honor and other various great powers all had old monsters who were ready to act any moment, and the location where the members of both sides’ older generation were waiting was definitely right where the suppressing cosmic phenomenon ended. In other words, the defending Fifth Mainland had to prevent Bu Kong and the others from entering the unsuppressed region, as otherwise, those old monsters would be able to act at any time.
Although Xing Kai and the others were doing everything that they could to stop or slow down Bu Kong’s group, they were up against two of the Daosource Three Skies. No matter if it was Xing Kai or Serati Phoenix, they both found it hard to contend against their opponents. Just Zhi Yi’s Vitality Qi alone was enough to make the two Arbiters cautious, and her Sky Dipper was even more confusing.
At this moment, the side of the Fifth Mainland was lacking a watershed opportunity. The Champions’ Stage was shrouded with Vitality Qi, and Xing Kai and the others just could not break through it, forcing them to just passively defend themselves. If anyone could manage to break through the Vitality Qi, then it would allow Xing Kai’s group to enter and start a decisive battle with Bu Kong and his lackeys.
Lu Yin was currenting facing a dilemma concerning whether or not he should act. He had traded blows with Zhi Yi before, and her Vitality Qi had been completely ineffective on Lu Yin.
The truth was that, during this time, Zhi Yi was constantly glancing over at Lu Yin from where she was standing on the Champions’ Stage. She was certain that Lu Yin was the only one capable of breaking through her Vitality Qi, so in some sense, this was an opportunity that she had left solely to Lu Yin. It looked like an opportunity that would result in some disadvantages for the Sixth Mainland, but everything was actually within Zhi Yi’s plans.
She needed someone to drag the Fifth Mainland experts onto the Champions’ Stage, but that person could not be someone from the Sixth Mainland—it had to be someone from the Fifth Mainland. The Sixth Mainland’s forces were not afraid of a decisive battle, as that was actually what they wanted—they wanted the opportunity to completely destroy the Fifth Mainland’s young elites once and for all.
Everything depended on whether or not Lu Yin dared to act. Zhi Yi had to set up these circumstances that seemingly favored the Fifth Mainland, as only by baiting them in would the Sixth Mainland be able to vanquish these elites in one fell swoop.
Lu Yin was still undecided, as that battlefield in the sky was too terrifying. Just one mistake would lead to his absolute death. He had all sorts of methods available to him, and he was even able to flee from an Imprinter. However, forcing himself onto the battlefield of the Ten Arbiters was still extremely dangerous.
While Lu Yin continued to contemplate his options, the Champions’ Stage suddenly changed due to the cloud of white smoke.
