Five grandmasters locked their Qi onto a single person, unleashing their auras to crush him with their presence.

The terrifying force of their combined presence was like an ocean threatening to swallow the world.

It was a raging, surging tide of power.

Within the courtyard, the starlight faded and the power of the Array receded. At this moment, even the boundless forces of nature had to yield before the power of man.

When men harbor killing intent, the very heavens and earth are overturned.

Each of these five men had reached the realm of Half-Step Harmony. Their strength was on par with that of Zhao Yuan and Xiang Ji, and they possessed some of the characteristics of true Harmony. As masters of the older generation, they were even more experienced, their skills and techniques a cut above those of the younger experts.

If they unleashed their combined presence against Zhao Yuan or Xiang Ji, the two would have no choice but to desperately channel their own Intent and use their auras just to resist the pressure.

Two fists are no match for four hands, let alone five masters of the same realm.

If Zhao Xuanqi hadn’t resolved his body’s latent flaw, hadn’t used the Qilin’s Intent to master his physique and enter a new realm, he too would have been forced to unleash his own aura just to resist the pressure. He would be trying his best to prevent his body from having an instinctive stress reaction to the terrifying, hostile Qi.

But now, he was completely different.

His flaw was eliminated, the Qilin made manifest, his Divine Intent enlightened. He had reached another realm entirely.

Under the raging tide of the five masters’ combined presence, he remained as still as a mountain, like the legendary Stabilizing Needle. His eyes were downcast, his mind serene. He was like the Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva in Purgatory, calmly suppressing a legion of Evil Ghosts.

An aura is a manifestation of one’s Spirit and Physical Ability combined. When multiple masters lock on with their Qi, it creates an intense sense of crisis that triggers the body’s instinctive survival responses.

But Zhao Xuanqi had now reached the realm of Harmony. Although he had only just entered it, his consciousness had already spread deep into every cell, giving him control over every corner of his body. He could even manipulate his cells at will. ’How could he possibly be affected by a mere instinctive reaction?’

The oppressive presence of these five men no longer had the power to move him.

"What in the world is..."

The courtyard was empty of spectators, but in the pavilion behind it, many people were secretly watching the "spar."

After the World Martial Arts Tournament, Zhao Xuanqi had immediately gone into seclusion for a week. Everyone was curious to see what had changed about him.

However, the scene unfolding before them far exceeded their expectations.

For five grandmasters to gang up and release their auras was already bordering on dishonorable. They had done so only because they wanted to see Zhao Xuanqi’s true capabilities, but he was completely unfazed.

’Just what realm has he reached?!’

’Could it be...’

The hearts of everyone in the pavilion skipped a beat as a terrifying thought occurred to them.

"It seems his body’s latent flaw has been completely resolved..."

Zhang Hongyun muttered to himself, a sharp light glinting in his eyes.

’He’s completely unmoved?!’

The pupils of the five men in the courtyard contracted sharply. Zhao Xuanqi’s performance had also far exceeded their expectations.

"Impressive! Watch yourself!"

A booming shout came from one of the five. Yu Huang, the strongest master of the Great Wilderness Sect—a tall, burly man with a full beard and rugged features—was the first to strike.

BOOM!!

He took a single step, and the ground shook violently. The gale-force aura that had filled the air suddenly converged, condensing inside his body in an instant without the slightest leak.

As he struck, his body swelled once more, his height and build surpassing two and a half meters.

Zhao Xuanqi’s pupils contracted like an eagle’s, capturing Yu Huang’s every minute motion even at high speed. He could even clearly see the process of his opponent’s Power Generation.

Every inch of the man’s skin trembled. No, it was deeper than that—it was as if every single one of his cells was generating power.

This man’s characteristic of Harmony lay in his body.

The tens of trillions of cells in his body were like tens of trillions of grains of sand.

The Great Wilderness Sect was located in the West Desert, a vast and sparsely populated region of barren land where sandstorms blotted out the sky. The sect’s signature technique, the Great Wilderness Palm, was created by observing the Form of wind and sand.

A single grain of sand is as light and weak as dust, scattering with a single breath.

But when countless particles of dust merge with a gale, they can erode anything.

Mountains are leveled and steel is shattered. Nothing can escape; all is rendered desolate.

When a man’s will dominates his body, it erupts forth like a sweeping gale.

The countless pores, tissues, and muscles of his body were the countless grains of sand.

The palm strike was utterly silent.

The greatest sound is silent; the greatest image is formless.

It appeared soundless, but the terrifying Force contained within was unimaginable.

It was Shock Force. And not just any Shock Force—this Force was broken down to a cellular level, as fine as dust. With a single palm, wherever the Force reached, even solid steel would be shattered into powder and blown away like dust in the wind.

Great Wilderness Formless!

Yu Huang was truly a veteran master. Compared to the likes of Zhao Yuan and Xiang Ji, he had more than a decade of additional hard training. His mastery over his body and his Force was far more meticulous and refined.

In the blink of an eye, the palm was before him. And at that exact moment, Zhao Xuanqi moved.

He, too, struck out with a palm.

KRAK! KRAK!

A series of sharp cracks echoed as his entire arm seemed to deform. It instantly mutated, as if transforming into the limb of an Exotic Beast. The change was so drastic it resembled the transformations of legendary Divine Techniques.

Yu Huang’s Force was meticulous, but he had no way of knowing that Zhao Xuanqi’s Force was now even more so.

In a normal Martial Dao Force Release, power originates from the feet, flowing upward segment by segment. It is linked by muscles, conducted through joints, and accelerated at each stage.

But Zhao Xuanqi’s Force Release was now a step beyond. It involved not only muscles and joints; even his very cells, under the control of his powerful will, were continuously conducting power and accelerating the attack.

Finally, all of that power reached a single point at his fingertip and erupted.

SHREEEE!!

A nearly inaudible, piercing whistle sounded, its frequency seemingly so high that it was beyond the range of human hearing.
