Ziyue?
How was this possible?
Not only were the Guardian of Soul and the others in disbelief, but even Zhu Shuizhen and the others were utterly shocked.
They could clearly sense the pulses of energy from their opponent. He was clearly only at the peak of the early Aperture Awakening realm.
If it was said that the reason he subdued the Blue-eyed Silver Wolf King was because he had the bronze bracelet and the golden pagoda, then this time, he had used a spell to stop the Goat Taoist's sure-kill attack. This was not something that could be justified by external forces such as a spiritual weapon.
Strength!
This was true strength!
Since he had already decided to take action, Ziyue did not hesitate at all. As he unleashed the Divine Light of Treasure Stabilizing, a flying sword had already shot out like a river.
The Sword of Evasion!
A Single Strike to Destroy All Laws!
Rumble!
There was a flash of silver light, and the flying sword had already arrived before the Goat Daoist in almost the next moment.
"No …"
The Mountain Goat Taoist roared in shock and frantically retreated. Layer after layer of defensive spiritual light was activated, layer after layer, causing ripples to appear in the void.
However, as the flying sword swept past, the power of evasion and the power of penetration gathered together.
Spurt!
No matter how powerful the defensive light was, it all collapsed loudly.
The Sword of Evasion did not slow down at all, directly landing on the Goat Daoist's forehead and piercing through.
Gu Lianyue was at a loss. He never thought it would actually be Ziyue who saved him.
However, when he saw the Goat Daoist die, he immediately returned to his senses. He rushed over to the battlefield on the side in a hurry to assist elder Zhong Yun.
Even though Zhong Yun was not weak, and he was experienced in battle, it was still rather difficult for him to take on two late Aperture Awakening cultivators, the two ghosts of the Green Vine mountain, alone now that his strength had declined. He was not exactly in a perilous situation, but he had lost the upper hand. He was in an extremely passive position.
"Next!"
After killing the Goat Daoist in a single strike, Ziyue did not even look at him. He waved his hand, and a ball of black flames shot out like a nimble bird, shooting through the air and arriving before the old woman.
"Oh no!"
The old woman's eyelids twitched as her scalp tingled. She hurriedly sent out a cloth sail.
Ten Thousand Soul Banner!
When the Ten Thousand Soul Banner unfurled, countless ghosts and souls let out miserable howls as they charged forward, covering the sky and covering the earth.
Sizzle …
The Seven Demons True Fire seemed to be able to incinerate everything. Any ghostly figure that came into contact with the flames dissipated like smoke, unable to withstand the heat at all.
The flames fell like a meteor. With a loud explosion, they quickly landed on Old Ou of Mountain Yin.
Immediately, the defensive spiritual light, defensive spiritual tool, and protective robe on her body began to flicker. They were rapidly being worn down and melted away.
One breath, two breaths, three breaths …
"Ah …"
In just a short five breaths of time, she couldn't hold on any longer and was enveloped by the flames. Then … with a pop, her body was engulfed and annihilated.
"Two!"
Ziyue muttered as his gaze fell on the remaining battlefield.
Dead?
All dead?
The Old Taoist Goat is dead?
The old woman of the Yin Mountain had also fallen?
Wantu Vajra was dumbfounded.
Then, the moment he sensed Ziyue's gaze falling on him, he felt as if a great calamity was about to befall him, as if the God of Death was looking at him, causing his scalp to go numb.
Almost without any hesitation, he turned and fled.
"I'll die!
I'll die! "
He roared in his heart, incomparably terrified.
Where did this monster come from?
How could his strength be so terrifying?
At this moment, although Ziyue's aura was not obvious, the means he displayed were too strong.
He had easily killed two experts of the same realm as him as if he were cutting melons and vegetables.
Even if he was confident that his strength was stronger than the other two, it was not as easy as Ziyue's performance to defeat them.
Moreover, he was all too familiar with the calmness on his face and the indifference in his eyes that seemed to despise everything.
It was an expression he would only show when facing enemies who were far weaker than him.
"Run!
Run!
Run! "
Wantu Vajra retreated in shock. His legs were like illusions as they flashed in the void. In the blink of an eye, he had covered a distance of several hundred feet.
"Hmm?
Why is the sky dark? "
Suddenly, he noticed that the world had suddenly become dark. The doubt in his mind flashed through his mind. He suddenly raised his head and saw an incomparably huge palm that seemed to be able to cover the entire void spreading above his head.
The scorching sun was completely covered by the palm.
The void and the clouds seemed to be trembling violently in front of the palm.
It blotted out the sky and the sun!
Boom!
The majestic and huge palm was like an upside-down galaxy. With a loud bang, it suddenly fell down.
"No!"
Wantu Vajra roared!
It was as if the entire world was against him and wanted to suppress him. It made him tremble all over, but there was nothing he could do.
He couldn't block it!
He couldn't escape!
He could only resist it head-on.
He hurriedly activated his defensive skills, the Real Body of Barbarian Cultivators, the Black Water Mystic Ice Shield Technique, and the middle-grade defensive spiritual weapon, the Rattan Armor …
Rumble!
The huge palm fell down as if it was swatting a mosquito.
Bang!
The Rattan Armor shattered, and the Black Water Mystic Ice Shield Technique was reduced to shards of ice in that moment. Afterwards, the Real Body of Barbarian Cultivators was destroyed. The terrifying force fell down. Even though his body was extremely tough, comparable to a Spirit Detecting realm great daemon, it was still useless.
As if he had suffered a heavy blow, his body exploded, turning into a bloody mist that rapidly dispersed.
He was dead!
"So powerful …"
Zhu Shuizhen's eyes widened as shock filled her face.
She thought about when she faced the Soul Diagram Vajra. Although she was not completely powerless, she had always been at a disadvantage.
In the end, the Soul Diagram Vajra that was a powerful opponent in her eyes, one that was basically on par with peak Aperture Awakening realm cultivators, could not even withstand a single blow, having been slapped to death so easily.
Was Ziyue really at early Aperture Awakening realm?
Late Aperture Awakening realm?
Or peak Aperture Awakening realm?
As for any higher, she dared not think about it. However, she already felt some reverence.
Afterwards, Ziyue did not take action again.
After Zhu Shuizhen returned to her senses, she immediately joined in the encirclement of the Ghost Duo of the Green Vine mountain. In just a few seconds, the two of them had been slain.
"Thank you B- immortal master Bai for your assistance."
Gu Lianyue hesitated slightly before saying with some bitterness.
When he thought about what he and the others had said before, he felt rather ashamed.
"Thank you, immortal master Bai!"
Tang Xianren also took a step forward as he spoke with a hint of respect.
"Immortal master Bai sure is … well hidden.
Now that I think about it, what we said before was a little like showing off before an expert. We were too arrogant. "
Zhong Yun couldn't help but reveal a hint of guilt on his face as he spoke in admiration.
"You're too polite, elders."
Ziyue said calmly, "I obviously wouldn't leave you be if it was within my means."
"B- fellow Bai, there's something I want to ask you.
Are you really at early Aperture Awakening realm? "
Zhu Shuizhen had also collected her spoils now. She walked over and asked nervously.
She still remembered that she had personally guided Ziyue and Zhao Yue 'er into the Rising Sun sect a few months ago.
Ziyue was only a Qi Practitioner back then. Although he had already reached the peak of the ninth layer, he definitely had not reached Aperture Awakening.
He had only truly broken through to Aperture Awakening a month or so after Zhao Yue 'er had joined the Rising Sun sect. He had refined an Aperture Awakening pill with his own alchemy skills.
How long had it been since then?
His strength had already skyrocketed to such a level?
Thinking about how he had once been attacked by an immortal master of the Dao Attainment sect, and now that the Dao Attainment sect had been destroyed … She could not help but think.
Could it be that Bai Ziyue was the legendary Kunlun Daoist who had concealed himself deeply?
"That's not it!"
Ziyue glanced at Zhu Shuizhen and shook his head. He said, "It's due to luck. My cultivation has actually already surpassed early Aperture Awakening realm."
As he said that, his body flashed. A new aura that was far more powerful than before radiated from his body.
"The peak of mid Aperture Awakening realm?"
Everyone else's eyes shone brightly.
"However, your battle prowess …"
Zhu Shuizhen could not help but ask.
"The Beast Trapping Hoop, the Demon Subduing Pagoda, and the Law Evasion Divine Sword are all supreme grade spiritual weapons."
Ziyue stretched out his hand. The copper hoop, the golden pagoda, and the Law Evasion Divine Sword appeared in his palm. Then, he waved his hand and kept them.
"As for that palm print, I'm not sure if you guys have heard of it. It was a sect within the Wu Country called the Immortal Martial Sect."
Ziyue asked softly.
"The Immortal Martial Sect that was destroyed three hundred years ago?"
Zhong Yun's body trembled. He hurriedly said, "I've heard of this sect. At its peak, it was only below the seven great Immortal Martial Sects and was comparable to the Kunwu Sword Sect. It was one of the strongest sects outside of the seven great Immortal Martial Sects.
It was a pity that the sect leader of the Immortal Martial Sect was greedy for power and fought with the current Wu Country's royal family for the throne. In the end, he was defeated and the Immortal Martial Sect was destroyed.
If that's the case, what Immortal Master Bai used should be the ultimate technique of the Immortal Martial Sect, the Immortal Martial Grand Palm Print.
This immortal art is extremely powerful. When used together with the other two ultimate techniques of the Immortal Martial Sect, it's said that it can unleash a power comparable to an innate technique.
Back then, the Immortal Martial Sect relied on this method to almost become one of the eight great Immortal Martial Sects … "
"Comparable to an innate technique?"
Tang Xianren's eyes widened.
His face instantly revealed an expression of envy.
He was somewhat enlightened.
Ziyue had three supreme grade spiritual weapons on him. In addition to the Immortal Martial Grand Palm Print, his power was unparalleled and comparable to an innate technique.
Naturally, he was able to unleash such overwhelming power.
The others also revealed looks of contemplation.
Envy, jealousy, and even a trace of desire.
However, they all accepted such an explanation. Even Zhu Shuizhen was the same.
It wasn't impossible for one's cultivation base to explode due to a fortuitous encounter.
The supreme grade spiritual weapons on Ziyue most likely also originated from a fortuitous encounter.
As for innate techniques.
Although the Chaoyang Sect also had an innate technique, based on their accumulation, it was far from enough to exchange for it. They were even more unwilling to exchange for it.
In addition, they rarely saw others using innate techniques. Naturally, it was difficult to determine the strength of the innate technique.
Ziyue secretly heaved a sigh of relief.
Finally, he managed to fool them.
