You Reached the Myriad Existences Realm!!!

One brother controlled the battlefield while the other led the attack, their coordination seamless. Xiong Li used a secret technique to create the "Mountain Cage," while Xiong Biao relied on his ultimate move, "Mountain Splitter." With the two of them working together, Xiong Biao was confident that even Qie Yunzhou would meet a bitter end against them.

Yet Qie Yunzhou, standing at the center of the attack, wore a faint, contemptuous smile.

Seeing the smile on Qie Yunzhou's face, Xiong Biao said angrily, "Hah! A trapped beast's last struggle, all show and no substance!"

Perhaps too lazy to answer, Qie Yunzhou shook his head gently. Facing the giant earthen-yellow hand and the blade light rushing toward him, he did not even move his feet. He merely raised his right hand.

This time, the waves of cyan Qi around him stopped spreading outward. Instead, they instantly became concentrated and tangible, forming a cyan dome of light around him. The flow of wind could faintly be seen within it.

Boom! Boom!

Xiong Li's giant earthen-yellow hand and Xiong Biao's blade force slammed into the cyan dome. The two forces, each powerful enough to crush a small mountain range, melted away against it like snow beneath the scorching sun.

The dome merely rippled, without so much as a crack appearing.

"What?!" Xiong Biao and Xiong Li stared, wide-eyed and incredulous. Neither of the secret techniques they had unleashed with all their might had broken the shield Qie Yunzhou had formed from the Power of Heaven and Earth.

Xiong Li was relatively unharmed. Since his was a ranged secret technique, it had merely been broken, leaving him with no other injuries.

Xiong Biao was a different matter. The moment his blade force struck the shield, he felt a backlash spread from the tip of his blade throughout his body. A sweet taste rose in his throat, and he nearly spat out a mouthful before forcing it back down.

A chill shot from the soles of both men's feet to the tops of their heads. Since Xiong Li had broken through to Title Rank, they had never encountered anyone who could take both their ultimate moves so effortlessly.

That "thin" layer of cyan light was like the Abyss, impossible to cross.

"You broke through!" Xiong Biao cried.

"You're at the Myriad Existences Realm!!!"

His combined attack with Xiong Li was certainly not something a Title Knight at the Heaven and Man Unity Realm could easily block. Yet it had just happened before their eyes, leaving only one explanation: Qie Yunzhou's technique had advanced from Unity of Heaven and Man to another realm—the Myriad Existences Realm!

At the Myriad Existences Realm, one's skill approached the Dao, grasping the mysteries that existed between heaven and earth.

If Unity of Heaven and Man was still a mortal realm, then the Myriad Existences Realm was the realm of Transcendent lifeforms. Although it was only the first step toward transcendence, it was generally mastered by Transcendent lifeforms.

Anyone who mastered this realm could kill a False Transcendent. Qie Yunzhou, especially, was certain to nurture Transcendent Dou Qi and become a great Transcendent lifeform at his age.

"Hehe, just luck."

Qie Yunzhou slowly lowered his right hand, and the dome of light around him vanished. He glanced at the horrified Xiong brothers and chuckled.

"I only broke through two days ago. You can only count yourselves unlucky." Qie Yunzhou's voice was not loud, yet it rode the wind into the ears of everyone present. "It seems those are all the tricks you two have. Now it's my turn."

Before his words had faded, Qie Yunzhou's bearing changed. He was bathed in the wind of heaven and earth, which held a rhythm of agility, freedom, omnipresence, and destruction. At this moment, the most fundamental element between heaven and earth was silently cheering and submitting, with Qie Yunzhou at its center!

Having broken through to the Myriad Existences Realm and mastered the Myriad Existences of Wind, he had reached a height beyond the reach of ordinary Title Knights.

Clang.

Qie Yunzhou drew his sword.

It was a purple longsword of simple, ancient design. Several Transcendents had emerged from the Qie Clan's ancestors over the generations. The strongest, who had created "Thunder Light" and the "Thunder's Five Transformation Technique," had even reached Peak Saint Rank. This was the treasure he had left to safeguard the clan, the Demigod weapon known as the Thunder Star Sword.

Qie Yunzhou swung his sword toward the Xiong Clan.

As the blade moved, the wind between heaven and earth seemed to find a direction. Following its master's will, it began to flow and compress.

His swing clearly did not look fast, yet countless beams of sword light appeared in the void and slashed toward the Xiong Clan's party.

This was the highest expression of the second level of the "Flowing Light Sword"-Ten Thousand Shadows Return to Truth.

The Xiong brothers' eyes widened. The sword light in the void filled them with suffocating terror.

Bearing the piercing force and sharpness of the wind, the beams of sword light reached them in an instant.

"Brother, use that!!" Xiong Li roared.

As Xiong Biao moved closer to his younger brother, he took a silver scroll from his Space Ring. When the scroll came out, even the space around it seemed to twist.

He tore the scroll open.

Hum-

Dazzling silver light burst forth. An invisible force formed a rippling shield around the two men.

Qie Yunzhou frowned slightly at the sight and waved his hand. The sword light abruptly accelerated.

The sword light turned into a torrent and crashed against the shield, only to dissolve without a trace, just as the Xiong brothers' attacks had against his shield.

The dazzling silver light flared again, engulfing both men in an instant. They vanished at once.

With their disappearance, the rippling shield covering the area also dissipated.

Without the shield to stop it, the sword light poured down on the area all at once, gouging a huge pit in the ground. It scattered into countless streaks of sword Qi that swept out in all directions.

Although the Xiong brothers had been teleported away, the clan knights they had brought with them had not.

"No..." "Argh!!"

The dozens of clan knights, whether Silver Moon Rank or Meteor Rank, had no time to react. Bloody holes were torn through their armor and bodies, and in moments, they fell silent.

"A spatial scroll? They have some resources after all," Qie Yunzhou murmured to himself as he looked at the scene.

The Xiong Clan was, after all, a Transcendent clan with a long history and foundations of its own. The Qie Clan had a Demigod weapon as part of its foundations, so Qie Yunzhou was not particularly surprised that the Xiong Clan had a Transcendent scroll.

Besides, although he had failed to keep the Xiong brothers here this time, leaving these dozens of Xiong Clan knights behind was still a great gain.

After all, the lowest-ranked among the dozens was a Popular Level knight.

"But I didn't make a big announcement about going hunting this time. How did they find out?" Qie Yunzhou wondered, frowning slightly.

Cloud-Resting Mountain was not especially large, but it was not small either. The chances of a chance encounter were too slim, and it was obvious that the Xiong Clan had known their route into the mountain beforehand and set an ambush here.

"It seems someone at home isn't being honest. I'll have to investigate thoroughly when I get back."

If he had not comprehended the mysteries of the Myriad Existences of Wind, even if he could have escaped, the knights who had followed him would most likely not have made it home.

He was not afraid of having a spy in the clan, but he was not alone, either.

"That's enough for today. Let's go home."

After what had happened, Qie Yunzhou had no intention of staying any longer. He spoke to the knights.
