The Soul of Sword absorbed all of the spiritual aura that the great grandmaster’s spirit techniques had left behind. And then, the Soul of Sword turned ephemeral…inconceivable and incorporeal. Then they shot at lightning fast speed, striking the great grandmaster in the heart.The man was stunned because, this is visibly the reflection of his own attack that Yao had used against him. And it was soul wrenching.The man's back folded in agony but he lifted his head and struck with just enough force that rattled the stars in Yao's inner world. Yao finally realised something, the man was now showing his true power. However, since this inner world greatly suppressed him, the great grandmaster had to take the battle outside, where he'd definitely dominate.A violent aura engulfed the man and his power spiked tremendously.The great grandmaster smiled darkly. “I might have been suppressed, but now I will enter a state of complete power for thirty short seconds. Your ability to survive depe

In a few more seconds, they were ten fletchers attached to the butt of his spirit manifested arrow. The great grandmaster stared at that arrow with wary eyes because, even suppressed, that arrow retained full power. Immediately an eleventh fletching appeared… Its birth was so slow that it took a complete nine seconds. Yao stared at the great grandmaster and offered a wicked smile… Yao's limit seemed to have improved a bit and now, it seemed like he could a few more fletchings before he reaches that limit. The aura from an undecuple-fletched arrow conjured shields that protected him from the scorching heat. From eleven, Yao ruthlessly added a twelfth fletcher… clearly and almost reaching the limit of what his body could take. He quickly attached a thirteenth fletcher and… it suddenly felt like his three spirit seas were being consumed rapidly just to sustain the power of one arrow. Yao sighed, finally feeling the mental exhaustion hit him like a ton of bricks. That feeling of h

“We are entering the Daynight clan's pavilion… tonight.” Nian smiled smugly.“What did you do with the great grandmaster?”Yao sighed softly. “That man should have been dead by now and yet every single time I managed to kill him, it's always his other half that receives his death.” Nian blinked, obviously stunned that such a method existed. “Is he transferring his death? Or something?” Yao chuckled darkly.“No, he is separating himself rather… just like creating a clone of oneself. Naturally, that clone won't possess 50% of the owner's power, which means whoever uses a clone is taking a risk of losing 50 percent of their overall power… so can you tell me what happens if that clone dies? Huh?” Nian smiled smugly.“He's done! How many times, you say?”Yao laughed.“Twice.” “So that should definitely be more than half of the damage done, correct?” Yao nodded and immediately changed topic.“We are going to that pavilion to strengthen our soul and even learn the Daynight clan's spir

The pavilion was very huge, the size already so spacious that it could even contain a smaller community. Yao and Nian did not fail to notice that the spirit energy seemed to have transformed. It was no longer the normal one, but instead, the purified version of it… Spirit essence. Yao knew how long it took for his inner world to start producing spirit essence. Normally, it is difficult to find spirit energy in such a pure state, but now, how the Daynight clan had achieved this is already mystifying enough.Yao and Nian did not stop absorbing the spirit essence into their soul and of course its magical properties were, if not much more potent than the usual one.Yao's eyes scanned the place until they landed on the Daynight clan’s ancient murals. Yao left Nian all to himself as he walked towards the painting. His hands traced the edges and surprisingly, his hands actually absorbed pure spirit essence out of the mural. How had they done it exactly? How can everything in this room b

Three years passed in a blink of an eye. Yao and Nian remained in the daynight clan's pavilion… no one detected them, no one knew of their whereabouts. The great grandmaster had even returned to the clan, warning everyone of Yao's attack but for three years, there was nothing… The daynight clan remained peaceful and even with that, the great grandmaster could not stop himself from feeling wary.Another three years went by. This time, he decided t0 enter the pavilion using the hidden gateway at the pavement of arrows… just when he reached the statue that divided the heart of the pavement from the main chambers, he suddenly realised that something seemed to have shifted… The runes of the hidden gateway were no longer the same. He had prepared this gateway in such a way that the moment it is used, its definite arrays of runes will be instantly reset. That was when he came to a conclusion that Yao had really invaded. He didn't enter, fearing that Yao would kill him there so he decid
