Gui Jiuyan's Yang Spirit had lain in ambush beside Gao Xian's divine soul, waiting for precisely this opportunity.
Gao Xian transformed the Great Five Elements Divine Light into Primordial Unity, then into Taiji Yin-Yang. The successive transformations were exquisitely wondrous, forcibly grinding Gui Tianzong and her Myriad Ghosts Spanning Heaven Blade into pulp.
Eighth-rank cultivators had long since mastered countless arts, able to wield all manner of divine powers and secret techniques at will. Yet even eighth-rank powerhouses were constrained by their innate talents; the divine powers and secret arts they truly excelled at numbered only a few.
Gui Tianzong used Dharma as her blade, spirit as her blade, and myriad ghosts as her blade, blazing a Great Dao that belonged to her alone.
She also wielded the Ghost Race's supreme Divine Artifact, the Myriad Ghosts Spanning Heaven Blade, and excelled most in battle.
Moreover, they were fighting in Void Heaven. Gui Tianzong had cultivated in this realm for hundreds of thousands of years and was incomparably attuned to its laws. In every respect, she held every possible advantage.
At the level of blade arts, Gui Tianzong had honed herself for hundreds of thousands of years and had already reached the ultimate boundary.
In Gui Jiuyan's view, Gui Tianzong's blade art was more exquisite than the Great Five Elements Divine Light. The reason Gao Xian had been able to blast apart Gui Tianzong's Pure Yang divine-consciousness incarnation was not because the transformations of Taiji Yin-Yang were superior, but because the Dharma power Gao Xian unleashed was simply too overwhelming.
It was nothing but breaking skill with force, using strength to crush weakness.
This was truly absurd when one considered it. Gao Xian had cultivated for only a few thousand years, while Gui Tianzong had cultivated for nearly a hundred times
