Numerous martial arts practitioners, even those hundreds of feet away, were severely affected, not to mention Daoist Qingsong, who was the primary target.
Even though he was prepared, Daoist Qingsong still did not expect that Wang Hao's move, Heavenly Flying Immortal, would be so bizarre and contain such a terrifying attack of Divine Sense.
He can also use Divine Sense attacks, and even has corresponding defensive methods, but it is only Acquired Divine Sense. However, the Divine Sense used by Ye Gucheng's Heavenly Flying Immortal is much stronger than Acquired Divine Sense.
His Divine Sense defenses didn't last long before being overwhelmed and then invaded his mind.
This move's mental impact would suppress even a peak Grandmaster of the Peak Xiantian Grandmaster, let alone the Daoist Qingsong, who only had Late-stage Innate Realm cultivation.
However, Daoist Qingsong was no pushover. He used the remaining portion of his Divine Sense to control his body and unleash the long-prepared ultimate move, Evergreen for Eons, displaying an absolute defensive stance.
The Evergreen for Eons is indeed powerful, and when combined with the all-out burst of power from the Daoist Qingsong, its strength is terrifyingly formidable.
Deep blue true energy surged from the longsword, carrying a sharp aura as it condensed into a protective shield, firmly protecting his entire body.
Although he also uses a sword, he is not a pure swordsman, so he cannot unleash that kind of supreme Invincible sword energy. However, he is not weak in other aspects. For example, his defensive move, Evergreen for Eons, is very powerful.
He was confident that even Peak Xiantian Grandmaster would not be able to break through his defenses unless they exhausted his power.
Unfortunately, that refers to his peak condition. At this moment, he is being suppressed by Wang Hao's Divine Sense attack from Heavenly Flying Immortal, and he can only unleash less than 70% of his strength.
So his story ended tragically!
Wang Hao thrust his sword forward, the incomparably sharp Innate Sword Qi gathering at the tip of the sword, forcefully striking the deep blue protective aura, and the two clashed.
Daoist Qingsong exerted all his strength, and Wang Hao did the same. All the Innate Qi within his body erupted and merged with the True Spirit Sword Intent to form Innate Sword Qi, which was then added to this sword, making its power naturally not weak.
After a brief stalemate, Daoist Qingsong's protective aura shattered with a deafening roar. At the same time, the Innate Sword Qi that Wang Hao had condensed on his longsword also broke apart. The bursting sword energy shot outwards like a rain of arrows, but a small portion of it, under his control, pierced into Daoist Qingsong's body, crippling his power.
The martial arts practitioners watching from the sidelines were in for a terrible surprise, as they were engulfed by the countless bursts of innate Innate Sword Qi, resulting in heavy casualties in an instant.
The quick-witted ones immediately retreated, only stopping when they were more than two hundred feet away, all staring in utter horror at the chaotic scene before them.
Under the rampage of countless sword energies, all the buildings within a radius of two hundred feet were ravaged and twisted, becoming dangerous structures, and some even collapsed completely.
The most tragic scene was the Mount Tai Sword Sect Sect's main hall, where Wang Hao and Daoist Qingsong standing, which collapsed into ruins, with dust billowing everywhere.
As the smoke cleared, everyone rushed forward to investigate, only to witness a shocking yet inevitable scene.
Two figures stood amidst the ruins. One stood proudly upright, while the other knelt on one knee, covered in blood, with only a small fragment of his longsword remaining.
The proudly standing figure, dressed in magnificent brocade robes, was none other than Ye Gucheng, the city lord of White Cloud City in the overseas martial arts world. Needless to say, the person kneeling on one knee opposite him was the Daoist Qingsong.
Clearly, Ye Gucheng won this battle, and won decisively.
This surprised them greatly. Although they had guessed that this person was likely to win, after all, the impact of that move, "Heavenly Flying Immortal from Beyond the Heavens," was too great.
In contrast, the Evergreen for Eons cast by the Daoist Qingsong was merely a large, blue sphere, which significantly lowered its prestige. In terms of special effects alone, the two were on completely different levels.
Therefore, defeat was inevitable, but the fact that it was so decisive and swift was truly unexpected.
In their view, although the Evergreen for Eons had terrible visual effects, it was still very powerful in essence, yet it was broken so easily.
"That was indeed a perfect sword strike!"
After a brief moment of recuperation, Daoist Qingsong struggled to his feet, looking at Wang Hao with admiration. He was completely convinced of his defeat by Wang Hao's " Heavenly Flying Immortal" move.
He knew that even if it happened again, he still wouldn't be able to withstand that attack.
The sword energy condensed in that final strike was incredibly powerful. The exploding sword energy alone destroyed all the buildings within a radius of two hundred feet, turning them into dangerous structures. The main hall beneath him collapsed into ruins.
This destructive power is comparable to that of Peak Innate expert going all out, not to mention the pressure he, as the primary bearer, endured.
"Clang!"
"It was a perfect sword strike to begin with!"
"The knock-off Flying Rainbow Sword is sheathed, "Wang Hao said calmly, as if it were the most natural thing in the world.
Why don't you kill me?
Taking a deep breath, Daoist Qingsong asked in a deep voice, his face showing doubt.
He knew very well that the person had deliberately controlled the sword energy to cripple his power, but it wasn't thorough enough and his foundation wasn't damaged. He could completely rebuild his strength after a few years of seclusion.
Clearly, the other party had no intention of killing him, so why bother going to such lengths?
"Your swordsmanship still has a lot of room for improvement, but you've chosen the wrong path. The Internal Force and True Qi System of your Central Plains has a fatal flaw and too low a potential, making it impossible for you to break through to the Celestial Person Realm."
The next time we meet, I will be a Celestial Person Realm expert. There are not many confidants in this world who can make me draw my sword, and I don't want to be one less then."
Wang Hao said calmly, these were words he had already prepared.
Since his girlfriend Fairy Yushu, intended for this guy to abandon his cultivation and start over so that he could have greater potential, he, as his boyfriend, naturally had to grant his wish.
"A true friend?"
This answer surprised Daoist Qingsong, whose expression then became complicated, and he admired the person in front of him even more.
He is a worthy opponent, and also a great confidant!
"I will certainly not let you down!"
He solemnly replied, "This is a promise I made."
But that seriousness and sincerity changed in the next instant, and the expression on his face turned into bewilderment.
"Ye Lang, are you alright?"
A graceful figure swiftly flew over using her lightness skill, arriving directly in front of Wang Hao. Her delicate hands gently touched him up and down, trying to check if he was injured, her expression quite affectionate.
The woman who came was Wang Hao's new girlfriend, and also the adoptive mother of Daoist Qingsong, Fairy Yushu.
"Don't worry, I'm fine, I just used up some of my energy!"
Holding the beauty's delicate hand in his own, Wang Hao smiled and gave her a deep, affectionate gaze.
Similarly, Fairy Yushu returned a deep, affectionate gaze.
This scene made everyone around them feel like they were being force-fed a huge dose of PDA, including Daoist Qingsong standing to the side.
"Mother, you..."
Trembling, Daoist Qingsong pointed at the two people opposite him, a very bad feeling rising in his heart, and he felt uneasy all over.
"That's exactly what I was about to tell you!"
Coming to her senses, Yushu quickly turned her head, her pretty face flushed with embarrassment, and explained to Daoist Qingsong, " Song'er, Ye Lang and I are deeply in love and have already pledged our lives to each other. Come, Song'er, call me Father!"
Fairy Yushu's words completely extinguished any glimmer of hope in Daoist Qingsong's heart, especially the last sentence, which made him feel as if the entire sky had collapsed.
He felt Mo Da deceived; the bastard had just declared himself a confidant, but in the blink of an eye, he wanted him to be his son.
The worst part is, I've only been in seclusion for a month, how did this guy end up with my mother?
And they've already progressed directly to discussing marriage—that's incredibly fast!
Now, his own mother actually wanted him to call that guy who was only in his twenties "father," and for a moment, Daoist Qingsong felt a deep malice emanating from the entire world.
" Song'er, quickly call him Father!"
Seeing that her adopted son, Daoist Qingsong, was still hesitating, a cold glint appeared in the phoenix eyes of the originally shy and gentle Fairy Yushu, and her words were filled with icy intent, clearly showing her dissatisfaction with her adopted son's hesitation.
Although her temperament changed considerably after her powers were broken, this change was only directed at her Ye Lang. When facing others, she was still the once proud and awe-inspiring Fairy Yushu.
Even if this person is her adopted son, it's still the same!
"Father!"
Sensing the chill in his adoptive mother's words, Daoist Qingsong shivered involuntarily. After hesitating for a moment, he could only reluctantly call out "Father."
There was no way around it; his stepmother had been extremely strict with him since he was a child, and seemed to have an instinctive aversion to men. She had disciplined him countless times from childhood to adulthood, which had left him with psychological trauma.
How could he dare disobey?
"Oh, so good!"
Nodding in satisfaction, Wang Hao displayed the look of a father looking at his obedient son, which made the Daoist Qingsong opposite him so angry that he almost vomited blood.
Feeling immensely pleased, Wang Hao didn't provoke his adopted son, Daoist Qingsong, any further. He turned around to face the large group of martial arts practitioners who were gradually gathering around him.
"I have decided to leave behind the legacy of my White Cloud City on Mount Tai, in a similar manner to the situation where the Wuming Sword Faction Sect left behind at the Mount Heng Sword Sect. In a month, the mountain gates will be opened wide, and all those with the right destiny are welcome to come. If you are qualified, you may even return overseas with me and join my White Cloud City."
He hadn't originally intended to do so, since he didn't have a good impression of the Mount Tai Sword Sect, and he didn't know anyone there, let alone have a Dingzhen friend like Mount Tai Sword Sect.
How could he possibly give such a great opportunity to these people? But who would have thought that Fairy Yushu would appear as his new girlfriend? She's been so open and honest with him, how could he not reciprocate?
So he decided to develop Mount Tai as well, which led to his earlier remarks.
Although Mount Tai is located in the heart of the Central Plains and can be considered the stronghold of Confucian School, Mount Tai is also a major stronghold of Taoist School, with many experts residing there, including Wujizi figures like Fairy Yushu, who are at the Peak Xiantian Grandmaster.
With such a solid foundation, it was enough to withstand the suppression of Confucian School.
Not to mention that he has completely stirred up the martial arts world. Those Half-step Innate experts who used to live in seclusion have all appeared in the world. In addition, with the secret method for breaking through to the Innate Realm that he created before, it is conceivable that Hundred Plans Innate experts will appear in the martial arts world in the future.
This trend is not something that Confucian School can suppress.
At that time, the Confucian School will be too busy to help itself, so how much power will it be able to spare to suppress the development of the Mount Tai area?
Moreover, Taoist School isn't just based in Mount Tai; it has Taoist School in other places as well. Would they just stand by and watch Confucian School bully their own people?
Therefore, there is great potential in Mount Tai!
