Chapter 505: The Fifth Sword (2/2)

Ever since Mister Mu had upgraded Lu Yin’s physical body to the absolute limit, he had reached the same level of the Limiteer realm as that war spirit with closed eyes. This meant that Lu Yin was truly invincible, and he could perhaps match the strength shown by the Ten Arbiters when they had been Limiteers. At this moment, there was no one in the crowd who could stand up to him.

Mu Rong looked at Lu Yin with a grave expression, as the current Lu Yin made even him feel powerless. He had already exchanged blows with Lu Yin once, and he had acutely sensed this person’s strength then. At the start, there had not been much of a disparity between them, and Lu Yin had not possessed the strength to shake off his farmer boy's song. However, by the end of their battle, Lu Yin had released a strength that belonged to an entirely different level.

This was what Mu Rong had come to realize at the Sea King’s Dome. However, at this moment on Planet Pyrolyte, Lu Yin had revealed his most powerful strength right from the very beginning of the battle. Mu Rong was not able to resist such a power, and the other people at his level were no different.

Currently, the only ones who could fight against Lu Yin were either Explorers or perhaps even Cruisers, as he was truly an unequalled Limiteer.

In outer space, above the planet, the various major powers were also all flabbergasted. The disparity displayed through this battle was too great, and it was not something that could compensated for with numbers.

In the Sword Sect’s spacecraft, Elder Chou Shu was shocked. “There’s no explanation for this kid! Think of a way to send Explorers down to Planet Pyrolyte. Order Liu Shaoqiu and the rest to retreat back to Pyrolyte Mountain. They can’t fight against this kid.”

“Yes, Elder.”

Inside the Wen family’s spacecraft, Mira’s expression was similarly overwhelmed. She had not thought that, after not seeing Lu Yin for a while, that he would be able to become this strong, and certainly not to this exaggerated of a level. The current Lu Yin could even attract the attention of the Ten Arbiters. When they had been Limiteers in the past, they had been similarly invincible, but they had probably not surpassed Lu Yin’s current strength. It was possible that he already possessed a strength that could rival her own.

No one would have thought that some nobody cultivator from Earth would be able to reach such a level and would hold such a supreme position within the Limiteer realm.

At the same time, the Daynight clan and Wen family also sent out orders for their ground forces to retreat. The elders could see the difference more clearly than the Limiteers on the ground. Lu Yin was not someone who their juniors could deal with.

As the words in the skies changed, they all formed the same word: “Retreat.”

At the base of the mountain range, everyone inexplicably relaxed, as they no longer had to fight against this freak anymore.

Lu Yin looked up, as the various powers that had been able to survive in the Innerverse had a rather decisive way of doing things. For them to order a retreat so quickly proved that they already had other plans. They might work to threaten Lu Yin himself, or find other powerhouses to send down here.

Liu Shaoqiu walked out from the forces of the Sword Sect with a resolute gaze.

Liu Xiaoyun’s face changed. “What are you doing? The elder ordered us to retreat!”

The others also looked at Liu Shaoqiu.

Liu Shaoqiu determinedly walked towards Lu Yin. “You and I had an agreement to challenge the Top 100 Rankings at the same time.”

“That’s right,” Lu Yin answered faintly.

Liu Shaoqiu’s gaze trembled. “I have a feeling that this battle might be the last one we have as Limiteers, as well as the first. I don’t want to miss this opportunity.”

Lu Yin’s eyes narrowed. “You aren’t my match.”

Liu Shaoqiu gripped his hilt tightly. “So what? This is my path of the sword.”

In outer space, Elder Chou Shu and the rest all fell silent. Liu Shaoqiu had been able to inherit the Thirteen Swords, which was related to his path of the sword. In this current battle, regardless of the outcome, he had to act, or else his path would collapse.

They would rather Liu Shaoqiu fight Lu Yin than destroy his path of the sword, even if it meant him being killed in this fight.

Of course, the Sword Sect did not believe that Lu Yin would actually dare to kill Liu Shaoqiu, as that would create a death debt.

Lu Yin’s head hurt, as someone with such an extreme sense of conviction was the most troublesome to deal with. Zhang Dingtian was one such person, and it seemed that this Liu Shaoqiu in front of him was another one. Ever since Lu Yin had started cultivating, he had relied on his die and his destiny. He held no strong determination towards cultivation itself. At this moment, when he looked at Liu Shaoqiu’s face, Lu Yin felt like he was lacking something himself and that he should also hold some sort of conviction.

“Then go ahead,” Lu Yin replied.

Everyone stared at Liu Shaoqiu, as the Fourth Sword had not been enough to defeat even Ling Que and Mu Rong. Did that mean that he was about to use the Fifth Sword?

Each of the Thirteen Swords was overwhelming, and everyone wanted to take a look at the Fifth Sword’s power.

Liu Shaoqiu inhaled deeply as he clenched his sword’s hilt. His eyes flashed with his resolve. He was indeed about to display the Fifth Sword, which was a technique that he had yet to comprehend. It was already extremely terrifying for him to display the Fourth Sword with the strength of a Limiteer, and the Fifth Sword was something that he should only touch after breaking through to the Explorer realm. However, he had to use it now, or he would have no chance at all.

Perhaps, after using the Fifth Sword, he would become crippled! But even so, he would not regret it.

Below the mountains, many cultivators pulled away from the two since they were afraid of being caught up in the impending battle’s aftershocks. Lu Yin did not attack, showing his respect for Liu Shaoqiu’s determination; he would give Liu Shaoqiu ample time to prepare.

The cultivators continued to back away when one of them suddenly looked at his own sword in surprise. His sword was quivering, and the various swordsmen around him all found that their blades were similarly quivering, as if they could not be controlled.

This was a forcefield. One that had yet to fully emerge, but one that still existed.

The Fourth Sword manifested in the form of a domain filled with sword qi, and it was able to unleash a powerful attack. At this moment, a forcefield had merged into the surrounding area.
