As the Tower Master of the Heaven-Piercing Tower, the White-Robed Elder would not personally step in to seize Qin Hao's "Great Heavenly Dipper Art." He could not bring himself to do such a thing.
But the White-Robed Elder could see every detail of Qin Hao's battles as he challenged the Heaven-Piercing Tower. Since he was paying particular attention, he could see every detail of Qin Hao's use of the "Great Heavenly Dipper Art" as well.
On the Thirteenth Layer, a First-Level Venerable of the Venerable Martial Realm wielded a Long Sword, sending one strike after another toward Qin Hao.
Every strike carried a dense First-Tier Law of the Sword. The Law of the Sword was a branch of the Gold Laws, formidable in attack and immensely powerful.
Qin Hao circulated the Cultivation Diagram, drawing on the Power of Heaven and Earth to form a translucent Defensive Barrier around his body.
A single attack from the Venerable shattered Qin Hao's translucent Defensive Barrier. That was hardly surprising. The "Great Heavenly Dipper Art" was an Eighth Rank Divine Ability and naturally possessed tremendous power, but Qin Hao had not mastered it deeply.
