Xia Liu's face gradually became grim. If he guessed correctly, what Murong Ao was about to unleash was not a visible move. Rather, it was a technique hidden in an invisible space. Exactly what it was, Xia Liu yet didn't know. However, since it was concealed within the void. Xia Liu's hands once again parted Yin and Yang, and in an instant, the Taiyi Extreme Technique emerged! "Extreme of Limitless!" In that invisible space, a massive Heaven and Earth Totem appeared, with Taiji constantly rotating at the center of the totem. The terrifying force spread instantly, solemnity expanded for miles around. "Mountain and River Slash!" At the moment Xia Liu condensed the extreme move, Murong Ao murmured softly, his hands clasped before his mouth. A heaven-shaking roar erupted from Murong Ao's mouth. The sound waves shook the space, twisting it. Everyone present covered their ears at that moment. The roar was so terrifying that if one's cultivation was insufficient, they risked being stunned instantly. The distorted sound waves rushed towards Xia Liu in the blink of an eye. Newest update provıded by 𝕟𝕠𝕧𝕖𝕝·𝘧𝙞𝙧𝙚·𝔫𝔢𝔱 The roar, the explosion sound, each shook the universe. To the surprise of everyone, the sound waves halted in front of Xia Liu. After which, in that invisible space, a gigantic, eerie totem emerged. "This totem can actually absorb the power of the secret technique!" '"Ha! The disparity in their cultivation is too vast, even if this move is a strange technique, it wouldn't last long!" Just as all the Elders were discussing, indeed, cracks appeared on the Heaven and Earth Diagram that absorbed the entire power of the sound waves. In that state, it seemed as though it could explode any moment. And just the next moment, Murong Ao made a move that left Xia Liu even more embarrassed. "Double strike! Far surpasses the first strike!" Upon witnessing Murong Ao casting another secret technique, Xia Liu was shocked. Such sound waves, even a single burst could be unbearable for someone. Evidently, this double strike was where the true terror of this technique lay. A roar to settle the firmament! Surpassing the Mountain and River Slash, surpassing all melodies of the world. Many onlooking Low-Rank Cultivators and Martial Artists screamed in silence. Though they weren't standing opposite Murong Ao. But the mere spread of the sound waves made it unbearable for those around. If specifically targeted, their divine sense and brain might shatter instantly. "Immeasurable Righteous Method!" Faced with an overwhelming roar, Xia Liu immediately employed an ultimate defense. The power of the Righteous Law surged within him continuously. But the sound waves penetrated the power of the Righteous Law, striking directly at Xia Liu's core. Admittedly, the power of the Righteous Law also dissipated some qi force, or else Xia Liu might have been instantly stunned. A muffled sound echoed, and Xia Liu, emitting the power of the Righteous Law, was sent flying back. A building standing a hundred meters away caught Xia Liu steadily. Upon catching him, the building immediately crumbled into ruins. The witnesses were all in shock. Xia Liu's defeat was expected. What terrified them was the secret technique Murong Ao unleashed! Legend had it that in the past, an ancestor using it shattered the internal organs of a Peak Foundation Establishment Stage cultivator, scattered his divine sense, and killed him on the spot. And Xia Liu, perhaps, was not far from death! "Ha! To dare challenge the Murong Family's bottom line, this is the outcome!" "Once the Murong Family's secret technique is unleashed, even a Qi Cultivation layer fifteen cultivator cannot escape!" "Family Head's might!" "Family Head's might!" After calming their inner turbulence, the clan members clapped and cheered. Before, they might have been apprehensive, given Xia Liu's remarkable strength. Now, it was different, he was possibly not far from death. If he persisted in foolishness, he likely would never amount to anything again in this life. "Third Miss, will he die?" Looking at the distant ruins, Xiaowu asked sadly. "I don't know, it would be better if he did, for daring to deceive us for so long!" Despite saying this, Murong Yan did not feel any joy. Instead, there was an unspeakable sadness, even she didn't know why she cared so much about Xia Liu. "Was it too heavy-handed…?" As Xia Liu's silhouette was a long time appearing from the ruins, and his presence couldn't be detected by divine sense, Murong Ao felt some regret. If he had known that Xia Liu couldn't resist, he wouldn't have executed the move so thoroughly. "Family Head Murong, I think, next, you should worry about yourself..." At this moment, Elder Tianjian suddenly spoke. "Hmm? What does Elder Tianjian mean?" "If I'm not mistaken, the peerless technique he just used should be the Sect-Protecting Secret Technique of the Taiyi Sect." Elder Tianjian stated leisurely. Upon hearing this name, Murong Ao was immediately unsettled. It was one of the Three Great Sects of the Northern Region, with countless powerful figures and unparalleled heritage. And being able to perform the Taiyi Sect's Sect-Protecting Secret Technique indicated his status was extraordinary. "Rumor has it, if one masters the Taiyi Sect's Sect-Protecting Secret Technique, they would be the Sect Master of Taiyi…" "Sect Master of Taiyi!!!" Hearing this answer, Murong Ao was left dumbfounded. If this matter were true, then just now, his actions. It could very well have been killing the Taiyi Sect's Sect Master during his moment of grave injury. This outcome, the Murong Family cannot bear! Seeing Murong Ao's face suddenly change, the crowd was left puzzled. As the conversation was an exchange through divine sense, others had no clue what transpired. "Family Head Murong, don't worry. If he truly is the Sect Master of Taiyi, he certainly wouldn't perish easily. My warning is for you to be careful of his subsequent retaliation, which could inflict severe wounds upon you." Elder Tianjian transmitted quietly. Just when Murong Ao was about to speak, suddenly, a chilling aura emanated from the ruins afar. It was a strange aura, infused with Dead Energy, yet containing Life Force. Before everyone could marvel, a bloodied silhouette rose slowly from the ruins. Elder Tianjian's pupils constricted sharply, and then with a trembling complexion, shouted to the rear: "Everyone! Fall back beyond a hundred miles!" "Elder Tianjian, why is this?" As an Elder of the Murong Family, Murong Ye had some understanding of Strange Techniques. Although he didn't know what strange technique Xia Liu was about to perform, was it necessary to make everyone retreat beyond a hundred miles? "If I'm not mistaken, he is about to unleash the Taiyi Sect's forbidden technique, the Scroll of Life and Death!" "Forbidden Technique! Scroll of Life and Death!" A gasp of horror escaped from Elder Ye's mouth. Without further thought, he immediately shouted: "Everyone retreat a hundred miles! Retreat a hundred miles!" Upon hearing this, and seeing the twisted and dreadful expressions of the High-Rank Cultivators on the scene, the onlookers dared not harbor any doubts, and immediately moved, using movement techniques to escape the scene. Murong Ao's eyes trembled, locked onto the towering silhouette hovering low above. The next moment, he was alarmed to witness an ancient scroll emerging out of the invisible space to unleash devastation...
