Chapter 1133: Total Oppression

Chapter 1133: Total Oppression

Lu Yin could tell Yuhua Mavis’s advice for him was sincere, but he truly did not want to give up at this junction.

Upon seeing that Lu Yin was still unwilling, Yuhua Mavis was left without any other choice. The green grass spread out from beneath her and covered the entire golden screen. It soon began to frantically grow, and the blades of grass twined together to form a green fist. “Even if you can’t become one of the Cosmic Five, it’ll still be a precious experience for you to fight against us. Try this.”

Her gaze trembled.

The green fist smashed towards Lu Yin.

Lu Yin’s expression instantly changed. By observing the rune lines, he was able to determine that this green fist was comparable to Yuhua’s seventh punch in terms of power, though it was superior in terms of range and size.

He waved a hand and used the Yu Secret Art in an attempt to forcefully divert the path of the grass fist.

Many people were surprised.

Outside the Mountain and Seas Zone, Xia Meng’s brows furrowed. “The Yu Secret Art.”

Mu En and others similarly recognized the technique, and they knew that Lu Yin had just used the Seven Courts’ Yu family’s Yu Secret Art: Void Transfer.

The Yu Secret Art: Void Transfer and the Xia Secret Art: Nullify. There was just a single character difference between the two names, but their effects were completely different.

“The Yu family retreated to the Outerverse, and it seems that this child has some relationship with them,” Elder Yuan Ke commented.

Highsage Shenwei moved over next to Xia Meng. “Little Meng, you said that this child inherited the Yu Secret Art, right? If so, can he be viewed as a member of the Yu family? If that’s the case, he should also qualify to participate in visiting the tomb that your Seven Courts control.”

At these words, quite a few people turned to look at Xia Meng.

Mu En also looked over, as the Court of Seven Names had originally joined forces in order to protect Progenitor Chen’s Mausoleum. Each time it was opened, only the seven family’s direct heirs would be allowed to enter, and not even the Hall of Honor could interfere in this.

Xia Meng continued, “The Yu family’s descendant will need to receive approval from their family. It is not enough for him to have learned the Yu Secret Art. After all, it’s possible that he might have moved against the Yu family.”

“That’s also true, since he actually unified the Outerverse,” one elder spoke.

Highsage Shenwei rolled his eyes. “No matter how far the Yu family has fallen, a child can’t deal with them.”

“This child has climbed up to his current strength step by step, and now, he has entered the stage to determine the Cosmic Five in just twelve years. That is something that not even the Hall of Honor’s First Honor Chosen, Shang Qing, can do. This child’s background is not that simple, and there might be others standing behind him aside from your Eversky Island,” an elder said. He then chuckled, as though rejoicing in others’ misfortune.

Highsage Shenwei wanted to retort, but after considering the comment, he felt that it was quite reasonable.

Even if the fact that Lu Yin had risen to his current position from the Outerverse was disregarded, even if Eversky Island had provided him with every imaginable resource required to nurture a top genius, they would only be able to match Lu Yin’s record. They actually might not be able to guide someone to exceed his current cultivation, which was truly ridiculous.

When considering everything that Lu Yin had experienced, from the moment that he had started cultivating to now, he had survived far too many situations that should have left him dead. Thus, it was not very realistic to think that there was nobody standing behind him.

Many of the older powerhouses looked back at the screen and at Lu Yin, each with their own thoughts.

Within the Mountain and Seas Zone, Yuhua Mavis was shocked to see her fist be diverted by Lu Yin’s secret technique. “The Yu Secret Art?”

Lu Yin charged at Yuhua Mavis. He then raised a hand and tapped out with a finger: Seventh Bro Finger.

Nine lined battle force wrapped around the finger as Lu Yin’s domain also compressed his spiritual force onto it. The tip of the finger carried the Overlaying Stacks Path, while Truesight erased some of the rune lines on Yuhua Mavis’s body. This was the strongest attack that Lu Yin was capable of unleashing at this time.

The Seventh Bro Finger shocked many people. Even if the nine lined battle force was ignored, not just anyone could use a domain to compress their spiritual force. On top of that, the fingertip carried the Overlaying Stacks Path, and the attack was even combined with Truesight. The power of this finger strike was enough to instantly kill the top experts within the same generation.

At this moment, even Yuhua Mavis was stunned as she watched the finger approach her, and she did not move. The shock in her eyes suddenly evaporated, and Lu Yin felt his heart sink as a bad premonition filled his heart. At some unknown time, his legs had been wrapped up by the green grass. His finger was still half a meter away from Yuhua Mavis, but he could not move it even an inch further.

The green grass was tougher than he had imagined, and it instantly threw Lu Yin away.

As it flung him away, the grass grew at an insane rate and twisted together to form a giant green fist that covered the entire sky. The fist then shot towards Lu Yin.

Lu Yin was still trapped by the green grass, and he could not break free despite his strength. As he saw the looming fist slam toward him, an Astral Chessboard appeared beneath his feet—Ce Secret Art: Astral Chessboard. The next moment, his body was turned into a chesspiece, and he moved.

Boom!

A massive explosion erupted as the green fist slammed against the golden screen.

However, at that moment, few were overly concerned with Yuhua Mavis’s attack, as they had just been shocked by the fact that Lu Yin had used the Ce Secret Art.

Although quite a few people had seen Lu Yin use the Ce Secret Art before, they had still been shocked. Now that they were seeing it once again, they were still stunned.

Lu Yin had comprehended two secret techniques from the Seven Courts, which was something that nobody had done since ancient times. Lu Yin was the first.

Within the Mountain and Seas Zone, Ce Jiu stared at the sky, dumbfounded. How was this possible? Wasn’t that their Ce family’s secret technique? Why was this Lu Yin able to use it?

The Ce family’s secret technique was extremely difficult to comprehend, even for the family’s heirs who wished to learn it. Since ancient times, not every one of the family’s heirs were guaranteed to comprehend this secret technique, but now, an outsider had somehow done so. How?

Lu Yin was not concerned about revealing that he could use the Ce Secret Art. Now that he had Eversky Island backing him up and the united Outerverse behind him, he had no fear of the Ce family whatsoever. Although they could cause some trouble for him, that was something to worry about at some other time. He could not leave a secret technique unused just because he was afraid of potential trouble in the future.

On the golden screen, Yuhua Mavis looked at Lu Yin with admiration. “The Yu Secret Art and the Ce Secret Art as well. Lu Yin, I’m very curious, what other abilities do you have? Use all of them together!”

The green grass started to frantically grow again. A flurry of green fists appeared one after another, and they all shot towards Lu Yin.

Lu Yin was able to dodge one and even two fists, but he could not possibly dodge all of them. This was Yuhua Mavis’s line of thought.

However, the stars of the Cosmic Art started to revolve around Lu Yin’s body at this moment as he dodged every single one of the green fists. Against the Cosmic Art, speed was meaningless.

Not only did Lu Yin successfully dodge the bombardment of green fists, but he also had time to unleash a Vacuum Palm.

Vacuum Palm was an incredibly fast attack, and neither Yōu Qi nor Lei Nü had been able to react to the technique. One of the two had been able to turn immaterial against all attacks while the other had been forced to take the attack head on. Yuhua Mavis was the same as Lei Nü, and she could only face the Vacuum Palm head-on.

However, she was stronger than Lei Nü, as Yuhua Mavis was able to easily endure a Vacuum Palm as a layer of green grass appeared in front of her body. Most of the Vacuum Palm’s power was dispersed by the grass, and the attack was unable to injure Yuhua Mavis. If Lu Yin wanted to harm her, then he would have to approach her.

“The Cosmic Art, and more than 500 stars at that. Lu Yin, you’ve really surprised me,” Yuhua Mavis marveled. Suddenly, the number of green fists rose by a dozen, and they covered the sky as they attempted to strike Lu Yin down in an all-encompassing attack.

However, Lu Yin was not slow, and by using a combination of the Cosmic Art and Truesight, he managed to avoid them all.

Yuhua Mavis did not even have time to be surprised when an Astral Chessboard suddenly appeared beneath Lu Yin’s feet and he moved himself.

He appeared directly in front of Yuhua Mavis, and he used the Seventh Bro Finger once again. Lu Yin refused to believe that he could not land a strike on this woman.

Yuhua Mavis was wearing green clothes that seemed to have been made from leaves.

Lu Yin tapped out with a finger that was pointed directly at her heart. Suddenly, the leaves that covered Yuhua Mavis’s heart grew larger, and they wriggled to form baby-sized fists that moved to grab the Seventh Bro Finger.

The Overlaying Stacks Path was instantly repelled by an enormous strength, and the nine lined battle force crumbled. As for his domain that was compressing Lu Yin’s spiritual force, it was ineffective against Yuhua Mavis. Lu Yin’s Seventh Bro Finger was immediately dissolved by the fists that had formed from the leaves, and the attack shattered.

Lu Yin was paralyzed in his disbelief. His attack was actually useless; just how strong was this woman?

Yuhua Mavis opened her hand and then formed another fist. The green grass that had spread beneath Lu Yin’s feet suddenly rose up to entangle him. The enormous pressure made Lu Yin feel as though he was being constricted by a python, and he felt suffocated.

“This Astral Tower contest is exhausting. You may leave.” Yuhua Mavis waved a hand, causing Lu Yin to be thrown off of the golden stage and into the sea below.

Was Lu Yin weak? Absolutely not. He had been able to join forces with the Ghost Monkey to defeat Yōu Qi. Although Lu Yin had managed to counter Yōu Qi’s battle technique of turning immaterial after discovering Yōu Qi’s weakness, Lu Yin had also proven that he was on the same level as Yōu Qi and the others—there was no other way he could have defeated Yōu Qi.

However, Yuhua Mavis was terrifyingly powerful, and her strength was endless. Also, there were no gaps in her defenses. Unless an absolute attack overpowered her defenses, there was simply no way for Lu Yin to win. This was also under the condition that she did not use any additional battle techniques or her innate gift.

At this time, Lu Yin was not capable of unleashing an attack powerful enough to breach Yuhua Mavis’s defenses.

Yuhua Mavis was not too overbearing in her treatment of Lu Yin, and she merely threw him down into the sea.

This battle had reached a conclusion, but elsewhere on the golden screens, Shang Qing and Xia Jiuyou’s battle continued. Although the power of the attacks was not as intense as the collision of raw strength between Lu Yin and Yuhua Mavis, the anticipation was in no way inferior. In fact, it was possibly the more exciting fight to watch.

Xia Jiuyou relied on the combination of his Yōu Reinforced Palm and innate gift to fight, and he attacked Shang Qing over and over again. However, Shang Qing’s Tri-Yang Technique was indeed difficult to overcome; one strand of ancestral qi chased after Xia Jiuyou and attacked him while the other two appeared to show no gaps while defending Shang Qing. They rendered all of Xia Jiuyou’s attacks ineffective, and his attacks were not able to affect Shang Qing in the slightest.

Left without any other choice, Xia Jiuyou was only able to use the Triple Blade Will.

The first blade tore through one strand of ancestral qi and slashed down at Shang Qing, but it was shattered by the second strand of ancestral qi.

The second blade shot out, but before it reached Shang Qing, Xia Jiuyou had already retreated. The ancestral qi that had been scattered by the first blade had already reformed, and it gave him a strong sense of danger.

Xia Jiuyou’s third blade still had not been released.

This was the same as Xia Jiuyou’s battle against Lei Nü.

Shang Qing’s gaze trembled. He was able to suppress Xia Jiuyou with just one strand of ancestral qi, and just one strand was enough to force Xia Jiuyou to constantly dodge about as he was unwilling to take even a single attack. This was the strength of the Hall of Honor’s First Honor Chosen, and this was the power of the Tri-Yang Technique. it was truly an inexplicable technique.

On the other side of the golden screens, Qiu Shi and Starsibyl’s battle was completely incomprehensible.

Starsibyl was adept at divining her opponent’s attacks, allowing her to dodge them in advance. Qiu Shi used the Cosmic Art, so speed was meaningless against her. The two women had already fought for a while, but neither had managed to hit their opponent.

Yuhua Mavis looked at the two battlefields, and her finger gradually bent as she prepared to attack.

Down within the sea, Lu Yin fell into the water with a thump and a splash.

The green grass dispersed once it hit the seafloor, and Lu Yin struggled to catch his breath.

Off in the distance, Black, White, and Lan Si raced over to him.

“Lu Yin, you lost! How useless!” White was very unhappy.

Black glared at Lu Yin. “You really embarrassed our Eversky Island.”

Lu Yin bitterly smiled at the twins.

Lan Si said, “Before, we heard that the real elites of the Human Domain were in the Neoverse, and I experienced the truth of that for myself today. Sure enough, even Brother Lu was totally oppressed, which was something that I did not expect.”

Lu Yin grudgingly responded, “Actually, against Yōu Qi, it was the same. If not for my tamed beast breaking through to the Hunter realm and being able to coincidentally counter Yōu Qi’s battle technique, I would have never been able to defeat him.”
