However, he underestimated the power of the Core Formation Stage. The Four Elders were furious that a mere child who had just entered the Foundation Establishment Stage dared to attack him. In an instant, he unleashed his Golden Core power, and a wave of True Qi, thick and overwhelming—something Zhao Yang had never experienced before—rushed toward him. Zhao Yang was suspended in mid-air, and it was too late to escape. He let out a loud shout as True Qi surged around him, bracing against the immense pressure and excruciating pain, and threw a punch at the head of the Four Elders.
The Four Elders, being masters of the Core Formation Stage, were not so easily caught off guard. After their powerful True Qi struck Zhao Yang's body, they retreated with all their might. A flash of light appeared in their hand as they silently chanted a spell. Suddenly, the Treasure Ruler appeared in the Third Elder's grasp! This technique was one they had developed over many years, allowing them to shift treasures and exchange them with one another, greatly enhancing their offensive and defensive capabilities.
The Four Elders used the Treasure Ruler to block horizontally and kicked Zhao Yang back more than ten meters.
"Overestimating yourself! A piece of trash from the Foundation Establishment Stage thinks he can ambush me!"
The Four Elders stood firm, their gaze filled with disdain. However, a cracking sound like something breaking reached their ears. Looking down, they were shocked to see the Treasure Ruler shattering into pieces in their hand. With a thunderous explosion, the Treasure Ruler burst apart, sending the Four Elders flying, their clothes torn and some parts of their skin lacerated. It wasn't that their defense was weak; rather, the explosive force from the broken treasure was too strong. If it weren't for the fact that the Treasure Ruler had some protective consciousness for its master, they would have likely met their end right then.
"Shattering a treasure with bare hands!" The onlookers were astonished; they never expected this young man could crush a treasure with his fists.
Zhao Yang was filled with immense frustration; he still couldn't grasp the power of a Core Formation Stage cultivator, otherwise he wouldn't have made such a mistake.
"My Spirit Wind Treasure Ruler!" The Third Elder, who was engaged in battle with Ji Wudao, felt his heart shatter with rage. Treasures were incredibly precious; there were hardly any to be found within the entire Sect, yet it had been shattered by a mere boy's bare hands.
"Hurry up and help me!" The Third Elder was no match for Ji Wudao alone; he had already exerted all his strength against Ji Wudao but to no avail. Without the support of the Four Elders, he was utterly defenseless and was being pushed back relentlessly.
Seeing this situation, the Four Elders prepared to assist. However, Zhao Yang moved again like a serpent gliding along the ground toward them. The Four Elders were enraged; instantly runes filled the air around them like a storm cloud ready to engulf what they perceived as a weak ant.
At that moment, the Sixth Elder also sprang into action because Golden Peng Young Master’s True Qi surged forth, clearly preparing to strike!
A beam of light streaked across the sky as Golden Peng Young Master unleashed a Divine Sense Attack. Zhao Yang suddenly felt an intense headache as if his head would split open; he lost control of his body and crashed down onto the Dojo floor, creating a crater over ten feet deep.
"What is this?!" Zhao Yang's expression turned grave as he had never encountered such a bizarre attack that directly struck his Divine Sense, targeting his brain!
Boom!
The Sixth Elder's fingers transformed into a jade-like hand, reaching out to grab the Golden Peng Young Master. In response, the Golden Peng Young Master unleashed a golden sword-like feather from his body to counter the Sixth Elder's powerful attack. The air trembled slightly as both of them were forced to retreat. At that moment, the Four Elders struck towards Zhao Yang, their immense Golden Core energy pressing down on him. Even though Zhao Yang's physical body was incredibly strong, he was still locked down by the overwhelming force, making it difficult for him to escape the Four Elders' attack range!
In the sky, Ji Wudao had just sent the Third Elder flying with a palm strike. His eyes gleamed with a terrifying light, and an inexplicable aura began to swirl around him, causing everyone to feel as if they could not breathe. Ji Wudao's palm held a spiraling mass of energy that rapidly spun and gently shot towards the Four Elders, who were about to attack Zhao Yang.
With a sound like fabric tearing, a piercing wind drill shot towards the Four Elders like a divine serpent leaping through the air. The Four Elders sensed the unusual aura emanating from Ji Wudao and suddenly displayed panic. They gathered all their True Qi to defend at their forehead, their Foundation Stage trembling violently before exploding, concentrating all their supreme True Qi onto a single Golden Core in an attempt to resist Ji Wudao's attack with its power. However, their reaction was too late; even instinctively responding could not match the speed of Ji Wudao's wind drill!
The wind drill tore through the vast emptiness and penetrated the strongest defense at the Four Elders' forehead. To everyone’s eyes, the Four Elders' body merely rippled like water before standing still.
"Junior Brother..." The Four Elders could not utter another word.
Ji Wudao landed before the Four Elders, a hint of pity flashing in his eyes as he recalled their past. The Four Elders had been his Fourth Senior Brother who had taught him the Universal Spirit Technique when he first joined the sect. However, within just a few days, Ji Wudao surpassed his Fourth Senior Brother due to his exceptional foundation and comprehension. This drew significant interest from the sect's higher-ups, leading him to be recruited into the True Disciple Hall and groomed as the next sect leader. From then on, his Fourth Senior Brother no longer showed him warmth but often mocked him and sometimes even targeted him deliberately. Over the years, he repeatedly opposed Ji Wudao's free-spirited teaching philosophy until he ultimately betrayed him.
"I warned you all that anyone who dares to kill Zhao Yang would destroy Myriad Spirit Sect's foundation. The decline of Myriad Spirit Sect is not due to my leniency but because you are too rigid; it has been this way for many years," Ji Wudao said slowly. He stood before the Four Elders and gently blew; instantly, the Four Elders' face contorted and shattered like glass, turning into ashes that scattered on the ground.
The Golden Peng Young Master and Duan Wude, who had been preparing to strike with their techniques, dissipated their True Qi fluctuations and took a step back with solemn expressions, cold sweat dripping down their faces.
"Master Ji truly possesses profound cultivation and exceptional methods; he is indeed the strongest genius of Wind Spirit Root. In all of Southern Zhongzhou’s hundreds of royal cities, it is unlikely to find anyone who can master wind attributes to such an extent—impressive!" The Golden Peng Young Master praised with words while secretly harboring thoughts of retreating. He realized that Ji Wudao had not even used his full strength and was showing mercy towards the rebellious elders; without the Grand Elder intervening, none of them could match Ji Wudao!
Ji Wudao ignored the Golden Peng Young Master and let his gaze soften while his aura became much calmer, losing all traces of earlier dominance—demonstrating an understanding of conserving True Qi between stillness and motion. He turned to Zhao Yang, who was still in shock: "What you just experienced was a Divine Sense Attack! It is a unique technique cultivated by practitioners who have mastered Divine Sense; they condense their powerful Divine Sense into an extraordinary form that disrupts the density balance of Divine Sense itself, allowing them to strike those whose Divine Sense is relatively weaker—extremely difficult to master."
“Divine Sense Attack can cause the victim to suffer from severe headaches or, in worse cases, madness. It specifically targets the brain's neural pathways, being both sinister and ruthless. Thousands of years ago, there was a Sect in the Cultivation world known as the Demon Sect, which employed numerous cultivators skilled in Divine Sense to research Out-of-Body Mind Attack. Eventually, they created a technique called Divine Consciousness Mastery, designed to break through a person's Divine Sense and steal information from their minds. This technique was nearly impossible to defend against and allowed them to defeat countless contemporaries. However, their unchecked power led to the death of a chief True Disciple from a Cultivation Sect, provoking the wrath of an existence akin to a Taboo. They were surrounded and killed by hundreds of elder experts, resulting in the destruction of their sect.
Upon hearing Ji Wudao's words, Zhao Yang felt a chill run down his spine. The idea that Divine Sense could be used in such a way was alarming. However, it seemed that his own Divine Sense only had the functions of exploration and reading through any codes or formations without detection. Transforming it into an offensive tool would likely be impossible in the short term. Nevertheless, he resolved to be vigilant and protect his mind; if someone in the Cultivation world could read a person's past directly from their brain, his secrets would be exposed. Moreover, if anyone discovered that both he and his master did not belong to this realm, it would surely cause a massive uproar, and he might even be treated like an alien for dissection.”
