Lu Yin looked at Bu Kong kneeling on the ground before him and grew quite emotional. Lu Yin remembered the battle in the Cosmic Sea when he had first seen Bu Kong. The man had personally defeated many powerhouses all alone, and his arrogance had astonished all who saw him. At the present moment, that same person was feeling humiliated for being beaten like a dog.
The Sixth Mainlander was speechless, and he could only stare off into space in disappointment with himself.
Zhi Yi had already been eliminated from ZENITH without even qualifying for the top ten. Was it Bu Kong’s turn to fail? At least he had entered the top ten.
Bu Kong dropped his head. He saw the palm print on his body from Lu Yin’s Vacuum Palm, but the mark quickly disappeared. The Secret Technique of Resurrection allowed him to physically recover in an instant.
Bu Kong breathed heavily as he stared at the ground, dazed. Sweat dripped down from his forehead.
Why was this happening? Despite everything at Bu Kong’s disposal, he could not handle Lu Yin. Reversal Cycle was not able to touch Lu Yin, the sourcebox array had failed, imprints did not suppress him, while Bu Kong’s innate gift of decomposition was not able to even touch Lu Yin.
Why? When Bu Kong had first seen Lu Yin, he had been a piece of trash who had not even been able to step onto the Champions’ Stage to fight, yet Bu Kong was not even able to fight back anymore.
Why? Why?
Bu Kong’s eyes grew bloodshot, and blue veins erupted across his body. A bit of blood leaked out from this skin, dyeing his whole body red.
Across from him, Lu Yin arched a brow and reflexively threw out a Vacuum Palm.
The blood covering Bu Kong’s body suddenly disappeared. He was using the secret technique Power Transfer once again, but while the last time he had used it it had merely shattered the illusion of Daynight Praises, this time the power of the Progenitor of Secret Arts was clearly displayed, and it enveloped all of Zenith Mountain in its splendor. This was not much different from when the Progenitor of Combat had visited. Bu Kong was desperate. Even if this would leave him unable to continue any further in the competition, he was determined to defeat Lu Yin.
The Vacuum Palm struck Bu Kong’s chest and knocked him back a few steps. Just like before, the attack left a deep palm imprint, but the injury was instantly healed with the Secret Technique of Resurrection. Bu Kong lightly tapped out and suddenly appeared right next to Lu Yin and attacked with Reversal Cycle.
Lu Yin was caught off guard; how had Bu Kong’s speed increased so much? Also, at this moment, his runes far outnumbered anything he had shown before. The close proximity and speed made Lu Yin feel a sense of danger.
Stars appeared and revolved around Lu Yin. Bu Kong was very fast, but he could not compare with Wang Yi. Cosmic Art made Bu Kong’s attack fully visible to Lu Yin, and he dogged to the side while counter-attacking with a Vacuum Palm. At that moment, the Vacuum Palm froze in the air, and so did Lu Yin’s entire body. It was a sourcebox array.
Qiu Shi and the others had also been frozen during the battle atop the Champions’ Stage in the Cosmic Sea.
Lu Yin’s strength meant that it was not easy for Bu Kong to lock him down, but at the moment, Bu Kong had burned his blood to use a secret technique that summoned a trace of the Progenitor of Secret Arts’ power, and Bu Kong’s strength had risen so much that Lu Yin was stunned at the change.
Bu Kong attacked with another Reversal Cycle. As soon as this attack connected, Lu Yin would be reverted to childhood, and then it would be absolutely impossible for him to avoid Bu Kong’s follow-up attack.
Countless people grew nervous, and Ming Yan’s complexion changed drastically in an Azure Mansion where she was watching.
All across Zenith Mountain, Wendy Yushan, Zhuo Daynight, and others also had their expressions change greatly.
In the Upper realm, the people from the Sixth Mainland cheered as they watched nervously. This moment would determine the outcome of this fight.
Bu Kong was using a sourcebox array to seize control of Lu Yin’s body, star energy, and even his domain, but it did not seize control of his spiritual force.
Daynight Praises.
This was not a new attack, but it was certainly useful.
Bu Kong was forcibly dragged back into an illusion.
Night’s End, Daybreak had been a peerless technique during its era and had allowed the Dayking to dominate his peers. So what if a person knew it was an illusion? They would still be dragged into it.
Daynight Praises was a union of Night’s End, Daybreak, and the First Nightking’s Skybreaker. This was the true top technique of the Daynight clan. Not even members of the Daynight clan had managed to comprehend this technique, so naturally the rest of the universe were completely ignorant of how this technique worked, with the exception of Yao Xuan.
Yao Xuan was the only one who could confront Daynight Praises head-on, as he possessed terrifying spiritual force. However, Lu Yin was facing Bu Kong. The Daosource Three Skies had already broken through this technique once before by using Power Transfer, but he had not expected that he would be dragged back into such an illusion given his current, boosted strength.
He once again saw outer space, as well as countless people kneeling before him. Bu Kong’s expression suddenly changed, and he looked up. The massive figure of Lu Yin appeared, and he raised a massive hand and struck out with a palm.
Bu Kong was enraged and his star energy surged. “Break for me!”
Bu Kong’s boosted strength was enough for him to instantly shatter the illusion of Daynight Praises. Lu Yin had never expected to actually injure Bu Kong with the technique, but had merely wanted to steal a moment’s time.
By the time Bu Kong shattered the illusion, Lu Yin had also removed the sourcebox array. Not only that, Lu Yin’s hand was up and a finger was pointed straight ahead: Seventh Bro Finger.
There was blood at the corner of Bu Kong’s mouth, and he raised his hand one more time to unleash a palm attack. He was still attacking with Reversal Cycle. Even if Bu Kong was suffering from serious injuries, he would still beat Lu Yin back to his childhood. As long as Lu Yin was reverted back to his childhood, no matter how badly injured Bu Kong ended up, he would be able to win.
Everyone watched as the Reversal Cycle approached the finger attack.
Bu Kong stared fiercely and forced out more power.
Lu Yin’s eyes narrowed and he finished his attack.
Bu Kong’s body suddenly shifted half a meter to the side, and his attack missed. He had been hit by Lu Yin’s Teleportation Formation.
Bu Kong had managed to arrange a sourcebox array during the fight, but Lu Yin was capable of the same thing, and he had set up a Teleportation Formation.
At this critical moment, Bu Kong had been moved half a meter, and his Reversal Cycle was wasted. On the other hand, Lu Yin had already been prepared for this moment, and his finger shifted directions and pierced Bu Kong’s shoulder, spilling blood Bu Kong’s face went gray and his pupils went unfocused as he stared at Lu Yin in utter disbelief.
From the beginning to the end, he had had no hope of winning and had been suppressed throughout the entire battle.
Why? He was a Daosource Three Skies, so why had he lost? This should not have happened.
Lu Yin withdrew his hand and shook it a few times. He could not stop himself from falling to the ground, his whole body trembling from the exertion of his best technique.
Lu Yin looked at Bu Kong in a condescending manner. The moment Lu Yin had become a Hunter, he had already joined the most powerful of his peers in the entire universe. Yao Xuan had matchless spiritual force and could not be touched. Star Devourer had invincible physical strength. Wang Yi had incomparable speed and could not be touched. Shang Qing had the Tri-Yang technique that allowed him to summon Progenitor Chen’s clones, and he was also untouchable.
Lu Yin had defeated Yuhua Mavis and Liu Tianmu, but that had only been when he had used his normal strength.
Lu Yin looked up, and his gaze swept by Shang Qing, Wang Yi, and Wu Taibai. These people had all hidden their strength very well, and they possessed unfathomable power, but so what?
Lu Yin was the same.
Bu Kong had lost, and lost miserably.
Three matches had finished among the top ten. Qiu Shi had killed Xia Jiuyou, which had exposed the secret of Xia Jiuyou’s Nine Clones Technique. Yao Xuan and Wu Taibai’s had revealed Wu Taibai’s strange energy that was invulnerable. He was even able to attack those who traveled through the void, which made many people wary.
However, in Bu Kong and Lu Yin’s fight, nothing new had been revealed, as both of them used everything they had used in earlier battles.
However, Qiu Shi and other experts from the Cosmic Sect had noticed that Lu Yin had used their Teleportation Formation, though Lu Yin had not intended to hide it.
ZENITH was being broadcast live, so naturally it was being watched by countless people everywhere, and everything was being re-watched and studied. Lu Yin’s use of the sourcebox array would absolutely be discovered.
