With a single stroke of the sword, the colors of heaven and earth changed.
Spiritual energy surged within a thousand-mile radius.
"What powerful pressure!"
"Elder Su Tong, what level of mystic art is this?"
"As expected of the most talented person in the Crimson Rainbow Sect!"
"In just three months of learning mystic arts, he has comprehended such a powerful technique?"
At this moment, the disciples of Crimson Rainbow Sect were also shocked by Su Tong's strength!
The disciples with higher cultivation bases, like Gu Zi Yan, had looks of astonishment on their faces.
"That is... divine level!"
Gu Zi Yan spoke, finding his throat somewhat dry.
"It should be. And with the strange phenomenon it has caused, this must be a divine level mystic art created by Elder Su Tong himself!"
Ji Shiyu nodded in agreement.
Her eyes were also full of shock.
Everyone stared blankly at the sky.
The only one who remained relatively calm was Luo Zi Yin, though inside she was also shocked.
Outside Crimson Rainbow Sect, the nearby sects with cultivators at the Transforming Qi realm or higher had flown out from their sects in astonishment to gaze at the phenomenon in the sky.
"Is this a divine level mystic art?"
"Yes, and it seems to be an original creation!"
...
"That direction looks like it's Crimson Rainbow Sect!"
"Crimson Rainbow Sect? How is that possible?"
...
"Someone from Crimson Rainbow Sect was able to comprehend a divine level mystic art?"
"That shouldn't be. There is no one of such talent in Crimson Rainbow Sect."
...
"Could it be Luo Zi Yin? Impossible!"
"Maybe it's just a powerful cultivator who happened to have an enlightenment near Crimson Rainbow Sect?"
...
Each sect was discussing in disbelief. Their first reaction was that it could not have come from Crimson Rainbow Sect.
Although Crimson Rainbow Sect was one of the four great sects, it was actually the weakest of them. Even if the other sects might produce a divine level mystic art, they could not.
Yet the facts were right before their eyes. The location and powerful aura all pointed to Crimson Rainbow Sect.
"Could Crimson Rainbow Sect really be on the rise?"
Many felt uneasy at this thought.
The stronger their opponents, the harder it would be to deal with them - this was not what they wanted to see.
But there was nothing they could do!
...
"No... Impossible! How could this little beast use a divine level mystic art?"
Di Shuo in the sky now wanted to flee but found he could not move at all.
He had been locked in place by Su Tong's energy.
The beast under his feet was also immobilized.
"Damn you, I'll fight you to the death, little beast!"
Finding he could not escape Su Tong's energy lock, Di Shuo was furious.
"Myriad Beast Demonic Claw!"
Di Shuo shouted loudly. Spiritual energy surged.
Though only a mid-tier mystic art, in the hands of a Return to Void realm cultivator like Di Shuo it became exceptionally powerful.
Yet Su Tong did not panic as the oncoming spiritual energy.
The gathered spiritual energy in the sky condensed into a huge sword, chopping straight down at Di Shuo.
Meeting Di Shuo's Myriad Beast Demonic Claw, it split apart the claw's energy construct in an instant.
The sword's power was undiminished as it cleaved toward Di Shuo.
"No! Impossible!"
Di Shuo let out a miserable shriek. Massive amounts of spiritual energy poured out, forming a defensive barrier before him.
But it was like paper before Su Tong's sword, directly sliced through.
The attack landed on Di Shuo.
"Ah!"
A wretched scream sounded.
A huge explosion came from the sky, the spiritual energy fluctuations obscuring everything.
"What's going on?"
"Sect leader!"
"What's the situation?"
Below, whether it was Crimson Rainbow Sect or Beast Taming Sect disciples, all stared fixedly at the sky.
Just then, a figure fell directly from the sky.
Soon after, another shadow also dropped down.
Clearly, it was Di Shuo and his giant eagle beast mount.
"Sect leader!"
Seeing the falling figure, Beast Taming Sect's elder disciples panicked.
None had imagined their sect leader would be defeated by this young man.
But the truth was laid bare before them - their sect leader had fallen at this youth's hand.
"Tch, divine level mystic arts are quite tiring after all!"
Sensing his nearly depleted spiritual energy, Su Tong spoke.
But he also felt exceptionally exhilarated.
Lacking any real opponents, Su Tong had never been able to go all out.
So his cultivation had grown lazy.
But today he had finally released the pent up spiritual energy in his body.
"That was refreshing!"
Satisfied, Su Tong turned.
He saw the dumbstruck Great Elder. "Great Elder, you're here too. Let me return your sword!"
Su Tong handed the sword back to the Great Elder.
The Great Elder did not speak, only staring blankly at Su Tong.
"Sect leader, you have upheld our reputation. As for the remnants of Beast Taming Sect... I suppose it's time for you to make a move!"
Su Tong came before Luo Zi Yin, smiling as he spoke.
"Of course. Soon, Beast Taming Sect shall be annihilated in the North!"
Luo Zi Yin nodded slightly.
Though shocked, she did not seem to find anything Su Tong did too difficult to accept.
"Very well, I'll be off to rest first!"
Su Tong bid Luo Zi Yin farewell.
"Alright!"
Luo Zi Yin replied.
Su Tong left without another word about the divine level mystic art he had just created.
"Damn, he's way too strong!"
"Elder Su is just too powerful!"
"Amazing! Elder Su Tong!"
"Created his own divine level mystic art. Isn't Elder Su Tong about the same age as us?"
"Younger than us!"
"...
After Su Tong's departure, earthshaking voices finally erupted here.
Every Crimson Rainbow disciple had looks of extreme excitement.
Many had been unhappy earlier when Su Tong became an elder.
But as Su Tong's strength grew, culminating in today's original divine level mystic art, the sect's disciples finally accepted this youth who was younger than them as a true Crimson Rainbow elder.
They now felt proud and excited because of him!
"Sect leader!"
The Great Elder also reacted, looking at Luo Zi Yin with an excited expression.
Luo Zi Yin nodded.
"Crimson Rainbow disciples, heed my order. All above the Condensing Spirit realm gather immediately to eradicate the remnants of Beast Taming Sect!"
The Great Elder spoke calmly.
His voice was not loud, but carried spiritual energy so all Crimson Rainbow disciples could hear.
"Yes!"
Responses sounded out.
The Crimson Rainbow disciples now overflowed with fighting spirit.
This was all thanks to that young man called Su Tong.
In contrast, after sect leader Di Shuo's miserable defeat, the Beast Taming disciples returned to their sect in panic.
Some had already packed up and fled.
Only a few Beast Taming elders and disciples with higher cultivation bases remained to meet the impending Crimson Rainbow assault!
