In the flash of lightning, Gu Daotian keenly seized the opportunity.
With a single movement, he resembled a golden-winged roc spreading its wings—one flap carried it eighty thousand li, free to roam heaven and earth.
This was undoubtedly a state of supreme freedom!
Gu Daotian carried no weapon. Or rather, when martial arts had been cultivated to his level, he himself was the most powerful weapon.
As for so-called divine weapons, in his hands they were no different from grass and wood.
For no matter how sturdy the material, even diamond would be ground straight into powder beneath his Steel Qi.
The true martial Steel Qi born of the earth was inherently tyrannical and fierce, while Gu Daotian's Steel Qi could be called the most rigid and blazing under heaven!
And with that movement, the relationship between heaven, earth, and man reversed in that instant. The vast heaven and earth seemed to become a tiny human, while Gu Daotian, that tiny human, became the vastness of heaven and earth.
When he rose, he was still merely a golden-winged roc. But when he swooped down, he was like an entire world crashing directly toward them.
At the same moment Gu Daotian moved, the seven great experts behind him stepped through the profound footwork of treading the astral and pacing the Dipper, coordinating with his movements. Their feet set upon the Eight Trigrams, aligning with a certain principle between heaven and earth. Though they wielded weapons in their hands, they did not strike at Zhao Cheng, merely swinging them through empty air.
Yet within those empty swings, an unseen force bestowed its blessing upon Gu Daotian.
Eight aspects of heaven and earth, eight aspects of Daoists, eight aspects of martial artists!
Heaven, earth, Dao, and martial arts—the Three Talents returned as one!
