Top enlightenment at 100 years old Chapter 637 - 624: Sect Hierarch-Level Clash

The spectacle sent an involuntary chill racing through the hearts of Xuan Kong Mountain and Reverend Pavilion members locked in confrontation with Wei Tian and his sister.

A figure so ferocious, if fully unleashed, would endanger even their lives greatly.

Most alarmingly, they had just aligned with the single-horned woman and Wei Canghai’s faction.

No assurance existed that Ji Haoyuan wouldn’t turn his wrath on them next.

Thus, Xuan Kong Mountain and Reverend Pavilion cultivators vanished without pause, streaking swiftly into the distance.

Ji Haoyuan watched their flight but refrained from pursuit.

Ultimately, Wei Canghai had ignited the conflict first.

Besides, those foes nursed killing intent against him.

He also bore longstanding feuds with the Divine Celestial Palace.

With them relentlessly targeting him, restraint was out of the question.

Boom!

Abruptly, surging purple radiance enveloped the spot where Ji Haoyuan and his allies stood.

Heavenly brilliance soon poured across the firmament like cascading falls.

Rule power chains rapidly wove together overhead, crafting a vast cocoon.

At the heart, multiple purple blossoms thick with Dao resonance bloomed in haste.

Distinct phenomena adorned each bloom.

Lightning cloaked some, fierce flames engulfed others, and gleaming spirals danced around the rest.

Astonishment seized Ji Haoyuan and the Wei Tian siblings.

Each purple flower appeared to undergo a profound rule metamorphosis.

Approaching brought sharper clarity to the Dao laws within.

This manifested the Dao’s evolution and revelation.

Comprehending it promised boundless gains.

Ji Haoyuan and the Wei Tian siblings acted at once without delay.

Cross-legged in the void, they attuned to the rule power radiating from the purple flowers.

Time slipped away unnoticed for Ji Haoyuan and the others.

Moments felt eternal, yet fleeting.

Emerging from the entrancing vista, they noticed a new treasure upon each.

A fist-sized orb materialized beside Ji Haoyuan.

Ceaseless lightning flickered across its surface, exuding a dreadfully fearsome presence.

The Wei Tian siblings acquired a violet dagger and a purple bronze mirror apiece.

Most startling, a subtle taboo aura clung to every artifact they held.

These proved to be relics harboring forbidden rules.

Boom!

All at once.

A bone-chilling roar detonated from the heavens.

The firmament fractured in its wake.

Ji Haoyuan and companions beheld colossal terrors, bodies stretching ten thousand meters, locked in savage combat at the core.

Boundless rules fueled every assault, tearing space-time and erasing Dao marks.

The cataclysmic shockwaves sparked primal terror in all below.

Ji Haoyuan felt it keenest.

His pupils shrank beyond control.

Among the titans loomed his master Taixu Bai, alongside Dongyue Peak Sacred Land’s Saint Master and Saint Monarch.

"That’s a clash of Sect Hierarch level!"

Terror-filled cries echoed.

Hearts quaked without cease.

What cataclysm drew Sect Hierarch level powerhouses to clash so fiercely here?

None among Ji Haoyuan, the Wei Tian siblings, or others dared gaze longer.

Any Sect Hierarch level aura alone could paralyze spirits and stall minds.

Forced observation risked shattering their Primordial Spirits entirely.

"Quickly leave!"

A heavenly decree boomed from a Sect Hierarch level entity above.

Ji Haoyuan received urgent transmissions from his master and the Dongyue Saint Master.

Cataclysm loomed; they must flee posthaste with companions.

Ji Haoyuan’s heart clenched in dread.

Perplexity gripped him over the event summoning such horrors.

Yet obedience to his master and Dongyue Saint Master was absolute.

In a flash, he messaged the Wei Tian siblings to escape alongside him.

Moments later, Ji Haoyuan’s trio hurtled away from the secret realm.

Bang!

At the same instant.

The aerial fray intensified wildly.

Though Ji Haoyuan pressed onward, his Spiritual Sense caught an immense black-robed silhouette.

Gripping a spear, it thrust directly toward his position.

Instantly, Ji Haoyuan’s mind blanked, thoughts iced over.

Defense or flight proved impossible.

"You’re courting death!"

A furious roar thundered across the cosmos.

The black-robed titan vanished explosively from Ji Haoyuan’s Spiritual Sense.

Its spear strike detonated harmlessly mid-void.

Ji Haoyuan recognized his master’s intervention.

No time wasted; he became a streak of light, fleeing to the horizon.

Just before clearing the zone, his Spiritual Sense glimpsed his master’s finger thrust.

That digit pierced dimensions, obliterating every rule force.

The sight profoundly rattled him.

Such awesome might his master concealed.

In the Lower Realm days, no one, including himself or Dongyue Saint Master, had sensed it.

Swish, swish, swish!

At last.

After an interval, Ji Haoyuan tore through space once more, emerging fully outside.

Shock hit him: he’d parted from the Wei Tian siblings unwittingly.

The exit had scattered them to varied spots.

Hastily, Ji Haoyuan reached out to the pair.

Replies came swiftly from the Wei Tian siblings.

They reported vast distances separating them from Ji Haoyuan.

Despite their cultivation, convergence could take days.

Fortune smiled.

They had fled the secret realm intact and safe.

Days hence, Ji Haoyuan crested a remote heavenly peak.

Spiritual energy here ran sparse, shunning visitors.

Crucially, it matched coordinates recently relayed by his master Taixu Bai.
