My Master Knows It All

Yan Yourong instantly felt an extremely terrifying rebound force coming her way, and with it, she was sent flying backward. It had been a long time since she last experienced such power; the last time she was forced back in a confrontation, it was by her junior fellow disciple, Xiang Ziyu!

But even Xiang Ziyu, strong as he was, had not given her such a sensation. This strength was clearly a cut above her own!

Although the Alliance Hierarch managed to repel Yan Yourong, her slashing strike, with its powerful impact, also sent him reeling back a short distance.

Shock was evident in his eyes. He was extremely close to the limit of the Golden Core Stage, yet this woman before him, who was not a reincarnated Great Ability, managed to exhaust so much of his Yin Yang Qi with just a single slash.

From that one strike alone, he could tell that there wasn't a single person in the entire East Breeze who could match this woman.

Once, in order to establish his authority and ensure the complete allegiance of the people of East Breeze, he had set up a platform to accept challenges from all the masters in the region in hopes of becoming the Alliance Hierarch of East Breeze.

The second-best expert in East Breeze, his Vice Alliance Hierarch, could only dissipate half of his Yin Yang Qi with his full-powered strike, yet the slash from a moment ago drained much more than half!

Where did the Eastern Wasteland find so many top-tier experts?

The people who had followed the commotion were also filled with astonishment upon seeing Yan Yourong repelled. They recognized her as someone they had once crossed hands with during the Great Martial Contest of Immortals. At that time, although they found Yan Yourong strong, they still felt she was somewhat inferior to her senior sister Ling Xi and junior brother Xiang Ziyu.

But when they gathered again before the Great Lai Dynasty entered the fray, they were stunned to find that Yan Yourong had grown much stronger.

In private conversations, they stated that within the Guardian Immortal Imperial Dynasty, aside from Bei Yan, who was at the Wind Fire Tribulation stage and could trigger the Wind Fire Heavenly Tribulation at any moment, probably only her master Cao Zhen, her senior sister Ling Xi, her junior brother Xiang Ziyu, and the two reincarnated Great Abilities—Star Lord Hao Yue and the Ax Crazy—could defeat Yan Yourong.

Even so, many believed that aside from Cao Zhen clearly outclassing Yan Yourong, whether it was Star Lord Hao Yue, Ling Xi, or Xiang Ziyu, they were likely only a bit stronger than Yan Yourong.

However, now that Yan Yourong had faced off with the Alliance Hierarch, she was clearly at a disadvantage.

And yet, her strongest move was that very slash!

Being so much stronger than Yan Yourong, could it be that...

"Has he reached the limit of the Golden Core Stage?" she wondered.

The only possibility they could think of was the limit of the Golden Core Stage.

As the thought crossed their minds, the voices of Ax Crazy and Xiang Ziyu rang out almost simultaneously, "He has not reached the limit of the Golden Core Stage but is exceedingly close to it!"

As Ax Crazy bellowed, he descended from the sky. His long hair cascaded down his back, wildly fluttering in the wind as he hurtled forward. The ten visions of his completed Pill Fusion Golden Cores rapidly grew larger behind him. In an instant, his wild, violent, bloodthirsty, and ferocious aura surged forth like a breached flood.

With his ordinary-looking Bronze Axe in hand, he swung it down, and suddenly, boundless sharpness burst forth!

That axe seemed not of this world but as if it had sliced through the void from another realm, the immense aura filling the entire space.

The simplicity of the axe strike belied its ingenuity; to those watching, it seemed the most exquisite axe technique in the world.

It was a perfect strike without a single flaw.

The axe cut off all avenues of retreat for the Alliance Hierarch, forcing him to confront the attack head-on!

The Alliance Hierarch once again lifted the disc in his hand. This time, the disc did not enlarge and remained the size of an ordinary shield. But as the Yin Yang Qi on the disc began to revolve, for a moment, it gave the onlookers the illusion that it contained an entire world.

The next instant, Yin Yang Qi surged forth, clung onto the Giant Axe, and started spinning rapidly. The seemingly world-annihilating power within the Giant Axe began to dissipate just as quickly.

And as its power collided with the Giant Axe, the Yin Yang Qi dissipated as well.

In the next moment, the Giant Axe struck the disc, but now the power within the axe had completely vanished; much like Yan Yourong's previous slash, it was merely the impact of an axe against a shield.

The recoil from the impact sent Ax Crazy flying backward, with even a trickle of crimson blood escaping the corner of his mouth.

Ax Crazy was injured by the recoil force.

The watchers understood. Yan Yourong had also been repelled without injury, but that didn't mean she was stronger than Ax Crazy. On the contrary, it indicated that Ax Crazy was the more powerful one.

Ax Crazy's strike had forced the Alliance Hierarch to expend even more of his Yin Yang Qi than Yan Yourong's slash had.

The reason for Ax Crazy's injury was the sheer strength of his blow; it was the backlash that caused blood to drip from his mouth.

Similarly, the Alliance Hierarch was sent flying back even further, his body visibly trembling.

Ax Crazy paid no mind to the blood at the corner of his mouth, instead, he bellowed with exhilaration, "That was exhilarating! It's been too long since I've had such a thrilling fight. Come again!"

No sooner had the words left his lips than he charged at the Alliance Hierarch once more, for he was a battle maniac. The reason he ended up on Evil People Island was that he was constantly challenging others and had made too many enemies.

During those days, not yet the Reversal Mini Epoch Period, people sent Earth Immortal Realm experts after him, and his only choice was to flee to Evil People Island!

The Alliance Hierarch, though, paid no attention to Ax Crazy. Instead, he used the momentum from his retreat to quickly turn and fly off in another direction. Although he was stronger than Ax Crazy, Ax Crazy was still a reincarnated Great Ability. If Ax Crazy were to join forces with the two women from earlier, he would be considerably disadvantaged. Moreover, there was another reincarnated Great Ability among them, plus a multitude of powerful masters. He had no desire for a drawn-out battle!

But just as he ascended, another figure materialized in front of him who, much like himself, radiated black-and-white lights all around and exuded an aura somewhat similar to his own.
