During this breakthrough, Wang Hao encountered an unexpected change, the source of which was the sword scar between his eyebrows.
The sword mark was repaired by his Bloodline Power after he activated and absorbed the Sword Intent remaining within it. However, an unexpected change occurred when he attempted to break through to the Spirit Sea today.
The once perfectly rounded Yintang acupoint split open, revealing a crack that connected directly to the Spirit Sea, causing incredible changes within the Spirit Sea.
No, to be precise, this opening and the changes in the Spirit Sea had already existed, but they had been suppressed by some kind of force. Today, his action of attacking the Spirit Sea shattered this suppressing force, allowing it to merge into the Spirit Sea.
This sudden change severely injured him, causing him to cough up a mouthful of blood and his own aura to become extremely weak.
However, he did not care about his injuries, because his Spirit Sea had been opened, and the Spirit Sea that had been opened was completely different from what he knew.
According to what I knew from my previous life in the Primordial World Era, the Spirit Sea itself is illusory and even difficult to sense, much more illusory than the Dantian and meridians.
But now his dantian is actually a solid entity, and the space inside is extremely large, with a diameter of ten zhang.
It was filled with a rich, misty aura, which was his divine origin. As long as his Acquired Divine Sense could merge with these divine origins, he could reverse the Acquired to the Innate and transform into Innate Divine Sense.
"Damn it, that's Laozi divine origin!"
Before Wang Hao could figure out what was going on, the remnants of the emperors who had rushed into the Spirit Sea began to absorb the Spirit Sea, and then, using those remnants as a foundation, they condensed into illusory emperor figures.
Strictly speaking, these lingering imperial thoughts can also be considered a kind of Acquired Divine Sense, which can naturally merge with the divine origin to undergo transformation.
Wang Hao was aware of this as well. However, according to his deduction, even if he exhausted all the remnants of these emperors, he might not be able to break through his Spirit Sea. Therefore, he didn't need to worry about these remnants of emperors competing with him for the origin of the god.
But little did anyone know that his Spirit Sea had already been opened, only it had been barely closed all along.
After such an attack, it was opened in no time. Only the weakest part of those emperor's lingering will was consumed, while the majority of them suffered no loss.
In modern history, few emperors performed the Fengshan ceremony at Mount Tai. However, in this martial arts world, almost every emperor with a little fame would come to Mount Tai to perform the Fengshan ceremony once, totaling over a hundred emperors.
After removing the weaker ones, the remaining imperial remnants are all extremely powerful. It is unknown whether it is a coincidence or not, but there are ninety-five remaining imperial remnants, which corresponds to the number nine and five of the supreme rulers.
A total of ninety-five remnants of imperial wills absorbed the divine essence together; one can imagine how terrifying that speed was.
Even if he possesses a considerable amount of divine essence within his Spirit Sea, he cannot withstand it for long.
Left with no other choice, Wang Hao hurriedly focused his Divine Sense and rushed in, eagerly absorbing the divine essence.
Embarrassingly, his Divine Sense cultivation was too weak. Even with the tenfold potential boost from the Nine Revolutions of Samsara Technique, he still couldn't absorb much divine essence.
In the end, he only absorbed half of the divine essence, and then he could only watch helplessly as the remaining divine essence was completely devoured by these bastards.
"You damned robbers!"
Looking at the empty Spirit Sea, Wang Hao felt like crying but had no tears left. He really wanted to blast all those lingering imperial remnants into dust.
Fortunately, he remained relatively calm and knew that the most important thing to do now was to quickly integrate those divine origins so that his Acquired Divine Sense could be transformed into Innate Divine Sense.
Regardless of how Wang Hao transformed his Innate Divine Sense within his Spirit Sea, a fierce battle raged outside.
The lineup of powerful figures attacking this time was no less impressive than the last. There were still three Peak Xiantian Grandmaster, and three more Late-stage Innate. Apart from that, there were no others. As for those in the Middle Innate, they were not even qualified to participate.
Even so, it put immense pressure on Wujizi and the others.
On their side, only Wujizi and Fairy Yushu were at the Peak Xiantian Grandmaster, making them weaker than their opponents in terms of top-tier combat power.
Meanwhile, Daoist Cangmang and Wheel-Turning King Wang were held up by other powerful figures who came to attack, and were unable to go up and help.
The remaining Xiantian Grandmaster expert on the enemy side used his lightness skill to swiftly approach Wang Hao, who was sitting cross-legged with his eyes closed, intending to capture him.
"How dare you!"
Fairy Yushu, who was engaged in a fierce battle with a Peak Innate Realm expert, shouted angrily. Then, as if she had made up her mind, she used some kind of secret technique, and her aura suddenly surged. She knocked back the expert she was fighting with a sword, and then stabbed at the old man who was attacking Wang Hao.
"The Heart -Heart-Destroying Instruction of Jade Heart Temple! You certainly have guts, daring to use such a desperate method. But let's see how long you can last!"
The old man in the green robe seemed to have seen through the secret technique used by Fairy Yushu. He sneered and stopped fighting her head-on. Instead, he joined forces with another powerful figure to engage in hit-and-run tactics. At the same time, he would occasionally make a move to attack Wang Hao, forcing Fairy Yushu to be distracted and protect Wang Hao.
Damn it!
Wujizi and Daoist Cangmang, who also recognized the secret technique used by Fairy Yushu, became anxious and wanted to go to her aid, but they were held back by their opponent and could only roar in anger, their killing intent surging.
The core concept of cultivation in Jade Heart Temple is to build a Sword Heart in the dantian. The Sword Heart is the foundation of the practice, and the Heart-Destroying Instruction is to destroy this Sword Heart to gain extremely strong power.
However, the Destruction of the Sword Heart causes great damage to oneself, and the power it unleashes is obtained by burning one's lifespan. The longer the Destruction of the Heart-Destroying Instruction is used, the more lifespan is consumed.
Although the lifespan of Peak Xiantian Grandmaster is considerable, and their Taoist School martial arts are adept at nourishing life and prolonging life, their lifespan is not actually infinite.
In addition, Fairy Yushu is already over two hundred years old, and she doesn't hesitate to sacrifice her lifespan to maintain her youthful appearance, so she doesn't have much lifespan left.
Using the Heart-Destroying Instruction now is practically suicide!
However, there are too many powerful local figures. Last time, that kid even helped kill a Peak Innate expert, which intimidated these guys and made them dare not make a move easily.
But now that kid is coughing up blood and seriously injured, he obviously can't help right now, which is really troublesome.
Just as Wujizi had predicted, after using the Heart-Destroying Instruction, Fairy Yushu's lifespan was greatly reduced. Her black hair first turned gray, then turned pure white, followed by her dark eyebrows turning snow-white, and then her face began to change.
Once her face ages, Fairy Yushu's lifespan will be exhausted, and the power she gained from the Heart-Destroying Instruction will dissipate in an instant. She may even suffer a huge backlash, thus perishing.
Fairy Yushu ignored her own situation; what worried her was that her two opponents were too despicable, constantly targeting Ye Lang, preventing her from fully utilizing her strength and forcing her to drag things out like this.
Although she could severely injure or even kill one person by giving it her all, that was all; the other person would definitely take the opportunity to capture Ye Lang.
This is bad!
Meanwhile, the two old men in green robes opposite them became even more cautious, and instead of engaging in close combat, they used ranged attacks to wear down Fairy Yushu's power, in order to avoid being caught by Fairy Yushu and dying together.
They were only there for the opportunity presented by that kid, and they didn't want to risk their lives here. The fact that a Peak Innate expert from the Innate Realm had been killed by that kid in the last attack was a cautionary tale. So, they had to be more cautious as the situation got closer to the end, lest they be caught off guard and lose their lives.
Time passed slowly, and as Fairy Yushu's aura grew weaker and weaker and she was about to be defeated, Wujizi and the others became very anxious.
On the other hand, the experts who came to carry out the assassination were quite the opposite; everyone had a look of joy on their faces, especially the two old men in green robes who joined forces to besiege Fairy Yushu.
But in an instant, that joy froze on their faces, then turned into fear and apprehension.
A figure stood up from behind the Fairy Yushu, and at the same time, a deadly sense of crisis gripped her heart.
That figure was none other than Wang Hao, who had transformed into Innate Divine Sense. As soon as he opened his eyes and scanned the surrounding battle situation, he roughly understood what was going on, and a violent killing intent immediately brewed in his heart.
Without the slightest hesitation, he stood up and came behind Fairy Yushu, his starry eyes suddenly shooting out two beams of light towards the two old men in green robes who were besieging Fairy Yushu.
This was Divine Sense attack, and one based on innate Innate Divine Sense. It contained the Divine Sense of ninety-five illusory emperors, possessing unparalleled Kamui beyond imagination.
Sensing something was wrong, the two old men in green robes tried to retreat, but it was too late.
The two beams of light that were formed from the attacks of Divine Sense entered the eyes of the two men, destroying their defensive measures built by their own Divine Sense with Destroy the Withered and Crush the Rotten force, causing their minds to suffer a huge shock.
The shock to their minds caused them to freeze for a moment. Although they recovered quickly, they remained motionless for a brief period of time.
For such powerful individuals, a mere moment could mean the difference between life and death. Although Fairy Yushu, who was engaged in battle, did not know why the two were acting this way, her martial arts instincts compelled her to act decisively.
With Sword One, hundreds of sharp sword energies shot out, enveloping the two of them.
Although the two elderly men in green robes managed to barely recover and used their internal energy to defend themselves, their condition was too poor. They only managed to weaken most of the sword energy, and were ultimately pierced through their bodies. Their meridians and dantian were mostly destroyed, leaving them crippled.
Meanwhile, the battle beneath the altar had ended. In fact, they had known the situation was hopeless as soon as Wang Hao stood up; the assassination attempt had failed, and they certainly wouldn't stay there to wait for death.
Among them, the Confucian School expert who fought Wujizi retreated most decisively, slipping away without any hesitation, leaving Wujizi, who was preparing to fight to the death, stunned. By the time he reacted, he had already lost sight of the opponent.
The others also made a hasty escape, disappearing completely in the blink of an eye.
In this battle, only the two Peak Xiantian Grandmaster were unlucky enough to face Wang Hao, who had transformed into Innate Divine Sense, and they were killed, their deaths were quite frustrating.
In fact, although Wang Hao's Innate Divine Sense was strong, and its quality far surpassed all Acquired Divine Sense, his cultivation level was ultimately too weak. When he unleashed it, he could only cause a Peak Innate innate expert to momentarily pause before recovering.
The reason why Fairy Yushu was severely injured last time was mainly because she was caught off guard, and in addition, Fairy Yushu's lineage was not good at Divine Sense defense, which is why she was hit.
Against an extremely powerful expert at the Peak Innate, it is very difficult to defeat them in one move by relying on Divine Sense attacks, as long as the opponent is on guard.
To make matters worse, Wang Hao's body was immobilized while he was concentrating this Divine Sense attack, making it impossible for him to coordinate the finishing blow.
Moreover, even if they were to deliver the final blow, the protective true energy of such a powerful expert could withstand it; at most, they would be severely injured, but there would be no chance of killing them.
Unfortunately, the two were fighting against Fairy Yushu, a master who was also at the Peak Innate. Moreover, she was under the amplification effect of the Heart-Destroying Instruction, while the two of them were in a worse state and didn't even have a chance to retreat. Then, tragically, they were defeated.
Therefore, the ability to kill these two was the result of the combined efforts of Wang Hao and Fairy Yushu; neither could have been missing.
"Wow! When did my sword become so powerful!"
Just as she came to her senses, Fairy Yushu blinked her eyes blankly, looked at the sword in her hand, and then at her two opponents lying on the ground, bleeding profusely, not understanding what had happened.
