It was not that the people of the Sixverse Association did not want to cultivate spiritual force, or domains, but that they lacked the cultivation methods to do so.
Even in the Origin Universe, it was not easy to learn to cultivate alternate sources of power, much less in the Sixverse Association. Alternate cultivation methods were always a greater challenge.
A magnificent surge of stellular energy swept out as Sage Yuan took action. He had been forced to join hands with Chu Jian against Lu Yin. Given the situation, it simply meant that Sage Yuan could not afford to lose, no matter what it took. The Sage intended to seize this opportunity to kill Lu Yin.
Regardless of how badly he regretted not dealing with Lu Yin before, the Sage knew to abandon any and all distracting thoughts at this moment. It was not yet too late.
A sword slashed at Lu Yin, accompanied by the incredible wave of stellular energy that attempted to suppress Lu Yin and leave him unable to even breathe.
Lu Yin calmly stood where he was and watched as Sage Yuan drew his sword. He had been waiting for this moment for a long time.
The moment Sage Yuan drew his sword, Chu Jian did not hold back at all. His own hands rose, and he released the Seven Divine Arrows again. The arrows followed close behind the sword slash, the power of Annihilation twining around the arrows.
This was the power that Chu Jian had always imagined himself using. He had become too comfortable in relying on his innate gift, and had trapped himself with it. He had been unwilling to step away from his innate gift, but he had finally woken up. He was the perfect Junior Sovereign, and there was nothing he did not dare do. There was nothing that was beyond his abilities.
As the slash struck, Lu Yin raised his hand. Stellular energy formed a sword, and with a bang, the two swords met each other. Sage Yuan's sword was swept back, the sharp edge slicing through the void, opening the Hollow within spatial tears that spread.
The Seven Divine Arrows arrived before Lu Yin, entangled with the power of Annihilation. The sword flickered up, striking the arrows to redirect them towards Sage Yuan.
It seemed as though the power of Annihilation did not even exist for Lu Yin. He had seen through every part of the Seven Divine Arrows.
Uncertainty appeared on Arrow Sage’s face. This young man was not merely capable of grabbing hold of the Seven Divine Arrows and deflecting them, he could even use a sword to guide and use the battle technique for his own purposes. It was clear that Lu Yin had completely analyzed the Seven Divine Arrows.
Sage Yuan's sword pierced through the void to slash at Lu Yin's back.
Lu Yin turned around, still controlling an arrow with his sword, and flung the arrow at Sage Yuan. The arrow smashed into Sage Yuan's sword, and with a bang, the Seven Divine Arrows exploded.
An unexpected surge of anger rose in the hearts of the two men.
The arrow had been formed from the emotion of anger, which was able to affect even Lu Yin’s mind for a moment.
While Lu Yin had seen through the Seven Divine Arrows, that did not mean that the technique could not influence Lu Yin. This was Arrow Sage’s battle technique, and it had allowed the Sage to survive his tenure on the Endless Frontier.
Sage Yuan took a step back, a burst of purple energy inexplicably appearing behind him. This was the Three Strikes: Purple Auspice.
Lu Yin faced the approaching purple qi. This was an attack of pure spiritual force. Sage Yuan had reached the Progenitor level with his spiritual force, and the pressure of this attack surpassed all that had appeared before. Even if facing a Progenitor, Sage Yuan’s spiritual force would overwhelm them, and without at least some degree of spiritual force cultivation, even a Progenitor would collapse before this attack.
Chu Jian took this opportunity to use the secret technique Phoenix Tail Sweep, and the Annihilation Phoenix shrieked at the sky before dropping upon Lu Yin.
Lu Yin stared at Sage Yuan, his eyes unclouded. "You dare to attack me with a brute-force spiritual force attack? Go to the Origin Universe to ask if anyone there dares try such a thing."
As Lu Yin spoke, the purplish-black substance spread down the blade of his sword. Without even a glance backwards, he slashed behind him with the sword. Not only did this slice through the Annihilation Phoenix, the edge of the sword sent out a terrifyingly sharp attack that could be easily seen. With this attack, Lu Yin incorporated the Thirteenth Sword, using emotion as a sword to attack. This was the same concept as the Seven Divine Arrows.
There was no denying that the Cyclic Universe had some powerful cultivators, some of whom were no weaker than their peers in the Origin Universe.
Every arrow produced with the Seven Divine Arrows was equal to an attack with the Thirteenth Sword, only using emotions to form arrows instead of a sword. If Lu Yin had not mastered the Thirteen Swords and also obtained Heaven’s Sight, he would have struggled against Arrow Sage’s battle technique.
Again, a Fifth Level Lotus bloomed in front of Chu Jian. While the lotus managed to stop a bit of the force of the sword slash, the blossom was still split apart, unable to stop the Thirteenth Sword.
The sharp slash passed by Chu Jian.
The Junior Sovereign spat out blood. This time, he did not hide from the attack with his innate gift, but instead endured it.
The purple qi that was formed from spiritual force condensed into a copy of Sage Yuan in front of Lu Yin. This was the second phase of the Three Strikes: Spiritual Clone.
Every attack from this spiritual force clone of Sage Yuan was a spiritual force attack. This clone did not attack the physical form, and yet it was able to duplicate Sage Yuan’s battle techniques. When compared with Eastern Purple Qi, the Spiritual Clone was several times more powerful.
However, Sage Yuan was shocked to see that Lu Yin remained unphased.
Lu Yin's spiritual force had been trained and cultivated with the Origin Progenitor’s Sutra. Even if the Sutra lost a good bit of its effectiveness outside of the Origin Universe, it was still able to temper Lu Yin’s spiritual force.
His spiritual force was as stable as a rock.
