The red nail Xu Yang had used was Ruan Tianchou's Dharma Artifact. While healing, he had found time to refine the treasure and learn what it could do. Called the God-Breaking Nail, it specifically attacked the divine sense imprints of cultivators. Had Xu Yang been struck by it that day, his divine sense would surely have suffered severe damage.
Xu Yang used the God-Breaking Nail this time to test its power. Under his control, it slammed into the Blood Spirit Pearl. Thin Bamboo Pole immediately felt as though he had been struck by lightning. The Blood Spirit Pearl was unharmed, but the divine sense imprint inside it took a heavy blow. His divine sense reeled, and a sharp pain erupted in his mind, making him cry out.
Xu Yang was both delighted and afraid. He was delighted that the God-Breaking Nail was so powerful and that he had gained another treasure. What was more, it could fuse with his secret technique, the Spirit Condensing Spike, making it even stronger. But he was afraid because, luckily, he had used Emerald Screen Peak to block the God-Breaking Nail that day. His divine sense imprint had been shielded by the massive mountain, so the nail's force had not struck his divine sense. Otherwise, it would have been impossible to say who would have won.

Now that the God-Breaking Nail had landed a successful blow, Xu Yang naturally would not let this golden opportunity slip by. He
