"Incredible!"
Suddenly, Tongtian seemed to notice something. He fixed his gaze on the clone and said, "He forcibly squeezed out the last of his reserves to break through to the half-step Dao Ancestor level."
"But power like that isn't stable. I'm afraid he's going to—"
Boom!
Before Sect Master Tongtian could finish, an explosion rang out.
Looking toward the sound, they saw the clone who had reached the half-step Dao Ancestor level explode, turning into a cloud of azure gas that surged into Li Xuan from every direction.
Just as I thought!
He couldn't hold on!
At the sight, Li Yun inwardly breathed a sigh of relief.
He had known a clone like that couldn't last very long.

Buzz, buzz—
Just then, Li Xuan's aura began to climb.
In just a few breaths, the waves of aura sweeping outward grew dramatically stronger, reaching an entirely new height in that brief span.
"Urgh..."
Muffled groans rang out one after another. Blood could clearly be seen seeping from the corners of Jieyin's, Nuwa's, and the others' mouths outside.
Although Li Xuan wasn't deliberately targeting anyone, his powerful aura was more than Sages could withstand.
As time passed, the pressure of his aura continued to climb, forcing everyone outside to keep retreating farther and farther.
Beings like Jieyin, Zhunti, Nuwa, and Zhen Yuanzi simply couldn't withstand it.
Yuanshi Tianzun was no exception.
However, he was standing beside Tongtian, so Sect Master Tongtian waved a hand and summoned his spiritual treasure to keep the pressure at bay.
Even so, Tongtian's expression was far from pleasant.
As time passed, the pressure emanating from Li Xuan grew ever stronger, and the fluctuations of aura within it rose rapidly.
At that
