Sssh~!

A Thunder Dragon, spanning over ten zhang and baring its claws in the air, formed in the sky, with lightning flashing around and a powerful thunderous pressure spreading out.

"Go!"

Qin Yang's pupils turned cold, as lightning flowed on his clothes, making him look like a thunder god standing mid-air, and he pointed downward, prompting the Thunder Dragon to move accordingly.

Boom!

The Thunder Dragon whipped its tail, lightning flickering, diving from the sky with ferocity towards Ling Jianzi, who had achieved Man and Sword Unity.

Rumble!

The Thunder Dragon mercilessly crashed onto Ling Jianzi's figure.

The massive Sword Qi phantom around Ling Jianzi persisted for a few breaths before being scattered by the Thunder Dragon's might, leaving the remaining Power of Thunder to strike Ling Jianzi thoroughly.

Bang!!

Ling Jianzi's figure was enveloped by lightning, heavily smashing into the ground below, creating a three-zhang round pit.

In the pit, Ling Jianzi's luxurious purple gold robe was charred black, his hair disheveled, his aura withered, completely devoid of the dignity of a Sect Leader.

Thus, Ling Jianzi, Lei Tong, Bing Yuan, and Tian Yan, the four great Celestial Tier Great Perfection warriors, were all defeated and severely injured by Qin Yang, losing combat capability. Including the severely wounded elder Zhi Huo earlier, only the Supreme Elder Gu You remained among the six from the Ancient Sword Sect, seated on the Black Feathered Eagle.

"Sect Leader!"

Lei Tong, Bing Yuan, and others' expressions changed drastically, as they exclaimed and rushed forward.

"Puff."

Ling Jianzi spat a mouthful of blood, and with Lei Tong and others' assistance, stood up and looked up, only to find Qin Yang still floating mid-air.

"Standing unsupported?"

At this moment, a trace of shock appeared in the eyes of Ling Jianzi and others.

Even a Celestial Tier Great Perfection expert can only temporarily hover in the air using strong Inner Power for a few breaths, definitely unable to float with such ease.

Qin Yang stood with hands behind him, hovering in the air, ignoring the shock on the faces of Ling Jianzi and others below, his gaze turning to the Supreme Elder Gu You on the Black Feathered Eagle.

"You've watched for so long, it's about time, old man."

Qin Yang spoke coolly, sensing that this old man was not ordinary and perhaps worthy of his full effort.

"It's rumored that Daoist Techniques are incredibly miraculous, reaching certain realm leads to aerial and subterranean abilities, old me sees young friend's ability to stand unsupported, traveling over ten zhang, shows not weak skill in Daoist Skills."

Elder Gu You's deep gaze fell on Qin Yang's figure, his old eyes flashing with a hint of fervor.

"To witness such magical techniques in my dwindling years, it's worth a lifetime. So be it, allow old me to experience young friend's Daoist Skill."

After speaking, Elder Gu You stood up from the Black Feathered Eagle, releasing an astonishing aura.

Though Elder Gu You's figure was not tall, his aura surpassed Ling Jianzi and others by far, as if a wave of his hand could stir the heavens and earth.

"This is not Inner Power, but True Essence Power."

Ling Quan's pupils shrank, murmuring as he realized that the invisible aura was not Inner Power but the True Essence Power of an Innate Realm expert.

Ancient Martial Artists, at the Postnatal Realm Celestial Tier Great Perfection stage, achieve Inner Power perfection. To break through to the Innate Realm, True Qi must traverse the whole body, transforming Inner Power into True Essence Power.

This is the qualitative change triggered by quantitative accumulation, applicable in Martial Arts alike.

Therefore, while Ancient Martial Artists in Postnatal Realm from Yellow Tier, Profound Tier, Earth Tier, to Celestial Tier see incremental Inner Power growth, bridging Postnatal Realm to Innate Realm is a qualitative transformation, enhancing Inner Power into more pure and formidable True Essence Power.

This True Essence Power is why Innate Realm experts are far superior to Postnatal Realm.

Upon reaching Innate Realm, Ancient Martial Artists see substantial life extension, living to one hundred twenty or even one hundred fifty years isn't rare.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

Elder Gu You glanced at the floating Qin Yang, his True Essence Power surging as he waved his sleeve, releasing the True Essence Power.

In the air, True Essence Power formed several translucent steps, extending before Elder Gu You.

Elder Gu You lifted his foot, stepping onto the first phantom step, then the second.

Step by step...

Under the shocked gaze of Ling Quan, Ling Jianzi, and others, Elder Gu You walked up the phantom steps mid-air, gradually reaching the sky height.

"Innate Realm indeed differs greatly from Postnatal Realm."

Watching this scene, Qin Yang had a hint of surprise in his eyes, murmuring.

Finally, after passing ten or so steps, Elder Gu You stood at the same altitude as Qin Yang, also floating in the sky.

What differed was Qin Yang only relied on Mana, while under Elder Gu You's feet, dense True Essence Power constantly converged.

Mid-air, two pairs of eyes met, a battle intent rising in both gazes.

"Young friend, please strike."

Elder Gu You's deep gaze focused on Qin Yang, his body enveloped in a surging True Essence Power, releasing an astonishing aura.

"Alright, then I won't hold back."

Qin Yang's expression tensed as he did away with words, Ice Spiritual Power erupted from within him, raising his hand.

Swish swish swish!

Above the sky, hundreds of Ice Cones formed instantly, each emitting chilling glints like sharp blades, daunting to behold, densely lining half the sky.

"Ice Cone Sky Fall, haste!"

With a slight coldness in his gaze, Qin Yang extended his fingertip, pointing at Elder Gu You from afar.

Swish! Swish! Swish!

The icy cones showered down like a storm towards Elder Gu You in mid-air, the hundreds of ice cones leaving no escape.

Elder Gu You's gaze slightly focused, seemingly unwilling to avoid.

Boom!

Elder Gu You's hand seals transformed rapidly, his body erupting with Fire Elemental Power, scorching red flames morphing into a massive fire cloud.

"Scorching Cloud, go."

With a low shout, Elder Gu You sent the red fire cloud towards the impending ice cones.

Sssh~!

Hundreds of ice cones shot into the red fire cloud, ice confronting fire fiercely, ice cones evaporated by the cloud's heat into white vapor, while the fire cloud shrank under the ice cones' assault.

"Water Dragon Technique."

Seeing this, Qin Yang snorted coldly, forming hand seals with his fingers, Water Spiritual Power surged, creating a winding azure Water Dragon in the air.

Swish!

The large azure Water Dragon charged forward, brazenly crashing into the stalemate between ice cones and fire cloud, scattering them, and then diving towards Elder Gu You.

"Disperse."

Elder Gu You's eyes narrowed, waving his sleeve, robust Fire Elemental Power burst forth, shattering the Water Dragon.

Droplets of water fell pattering from the sky, leaving only two figures still standing serenely in the air.
