Sect Master’s Immortal Journey

Chapter 452: Wisp of Soul

The self-destruction of a Gold Core Daoist Master's Gold Core possesses immense power. If one gets too close, even Gu Yue Huaidie wouldn't be able to avoid getting injured.

Unfortunately, Daoist Master Dark Flame's timing for self-destruction was not very good; Meng Zhang and the others hadn't caught up yet.

Sensing the intense fluctuations in Daoist Master Dark Flame's aura, the Gold Core in Meng Zhang's body began to throb intensely. Without hesitation, Meng Zhang and the other two immediately stopped advancing and retreated backward.

Though Meng Zhang had never witnessed a Gold Core Daoist Master's self-destruction, they were well aware of the devastating power it possessed. As they were desperately escaping from three other Gold Core Daoist Masters who were their rivals, they also discovered the commotion here.

It turned out that they accidentally stumbled upon this rare event of a Gold Core Daoist Master's self-destruction.

They didn't dare to be negligent and quickly fled in the opposite direction. Self-destruction of a Gold Core Daoist Master was not an immediate process; it required time to brew and reverse True Essence. With this slight delay, they had already moved far away from the explosion site.

After a thunderous blast, Daoist Master Dark Flame's face was filled with unwillingness, and his entire body was turned into ashes from the inside out.

A mushroom-shaped cloud rose up, and a huge circular pit appeared on the ground.

After the shockwaves from the explosion subsided, Meng Zhang and the others flew over.

With Daoist Master Dark Flame's self-destruction, everything he had on him was annihilated in the explosion. Meng Zhang and the others gained nothing from him. On the other side, the three Gold Core Daoist Masters also flew over.

Being able to force their old rival Daoist Master Dark Flame to self-destruct, the Gold Core Daoist Masters from Flying Swan Sect and Northern Desert Qi Family couldn't help but look at Gu Yue Huaidie with some awe.

In their eyes, the relatively unknown female Daoist Master, Luo Ye, and the recently formed core, Meng Zhang, surely didn't have that ability.

"How did you three end up together?" Gu Yue Huaidie asked with some surprise.

Fei Yu Daoist Master and Fei Jiang Daoist Master exchanged glances and looked a little embarrassed. Qi Nanfei's face showed even more awkwardness.

However, since Gu Yue Huaidie asked, and they also needed help from each other, they truthfully explained everything step by step.

As it turned out, Qi Nanfei had secretly left some traces on Fei Jiang Daoist Master a long time ago to track him.

After entering this small world, Qi Nanfei successfully caught up with Fei Jiang Daoist Master using these traces.

Both Fei Yu Daoist Master and Fei Jiang Daoist Master, who were trying to break the restriction, were very surprised to find Qi Nanfei's figure.

Fei Jiang Daoist Master quickly realized that he had been careless and was being tracked by Qi Nanfei.

Before the two Gold Core Daoist Masters from Flying Swan Sect could figure out how to deal with Qi Nanfei Daoist Master, Golden Tiger Demon General also arrived there.

After a big battle, the three human Gold Core Daoist Masters were defeated by the demonic beasts and fled in defeat.

As for Golden Tiger Demon General and his group, they didn't seem interested in pursuing the enemy either.

When they mentioned being defeated by the demonic beasts, the three Gold Core Daoist Masters showed a sense of shame on their faces.

Human cultivators often had an inexplicable sense of superiority when facing beasts of the same level.

This time, their defeat was a significant loss of face.

Meng Zhang and the others were not focused on the retreat of the three Gold Core Daoist Masters but on the arrangements left behind by the senior of Purple Gold Sect.

"How can the inheritance of the Human Clan fall into the hands of demonic beasts?" Meng Zhang said with righteous indignation.

"If we stand by and let those beasts succeed, we will forever become a laughingstock in the Cultivation World."

With a righteous cause in mind, the three groups with their own hidden agendas decided to join forces to deal with the demonic beasts.

With six Gold Core Daoist Masters combined, could they not handle a few demonic beasts?

Including the three Gold Core Daoist Masters who had just suffered a defeat, their confidence soared as they aggressively attacked their target.

After this slight delay, Golden Tiger Demon General's side was also almost done.

When Meng Zhang and the others flew over, Golden Tiger Demon General and his group had already broken the arrangements left by the senior Primordial Spirit.

In the sky, a high platform entirely condensed from clouds appeared. Seeing their goal, which they had been yearning for day and night for hundreds of years, Golden Tiger Demon General and his two companions flew directly to the platform. Meng Zhang and the other six people arrived just in time to witness this scene and became extremely anxious. Worried that the inheritance might be taken away, they immediately accelerated and flew over with an imposing momentum.

Suddenly, accompanied by ethereal music, a huge beam of light rose from the platform, and a massive figure formed in the sky. It was an old man wearing a Daoist robe, with a dignified and majestic aura despite being just a phantom. His wise eyes seemed to see through all the changes and vicissitudes of the world. With just a glance around, a trace of sorrow appeared in his eyes.

As soon as this old man appeared, everyone, whether Gold Core Daoist Masters or Third Rank demonic beasts, had to stop their actions and looked at him with astonishment. Compared to him, they not only seemed physically small but also incredibly weak in strength. Clearly, this was a Primordial Spirit True Monarch!

Could it be that Purple Gold Sect still had a Primordial Spirit True Monarch who hadn't perished and had been hiding in this small world?

"Since you outsiders have come here, it seems that Purple Gold Sect has already been destroyed," the old man spoke calmly but filled with a deep killing intent. "You dare to set foot in this place, you deserve to die."

The knowledgeable Gu Yue Huaidie was the first to recognize the true identity of the old man. He should be just a wisp of Divine Sense split by a powerful Primordial Spirit True Monarch. These Divine Sense fragments could develop and grow, eventually becoming a wisp of soul that could be used to refine an external avatar. With an external avatar, the Primordial Spirit True Monarch would essentially have an extra life. In some special circumstances, even if the original body fell, they could be reborn in the external avatar.

Of course, the ability to refine an external avatar was extremely rare among Primordial Spirit True Monarchs. It required not only a high cultivation base but also some extremely rare heavenly materials.

The old man before them was most likely just a wisp of Divine Sense and not an external avatar. However, even as a wisp of Divine Sense, he was not something a group of ambitious Gold Core Daoist Masters and Third Rank demonic beasts could contend with.

The old man extended a purple-golden finger and crushed the three demonic beasts with overwhelming force. "Demonic beasts should be killed."

It was unclear why he held such hatred for the demonic beasts, but he chose them as his first targets.

A massive purple-golden finger swept down from the sky with an unstoppable momentum. Golden Tiger Demon General and the others had no time to dodge, so they could only join forces to resist this attack. After a series of explosions, Earth Fox Demon General was sent flying like a ball, and Golden Tiger Demon General and Dark Crow Demon General spewed blood from their mouths as their bodies kept retreating.
