"Yes, sir!" Tao responded, using his full cultivation base to operate the skyship. The condensed aurora covered the skyship defensively as it drove its way into the water curtain. The water curtain had the thickness of about an inch, but even still, it could withstand a full force attack of a peak-Qi Unification Cultivator. Despite this, it was penetrated like a piece of flimsy paper.
Lin Feilin and Lin Qinlin were stupefied by their actions to the point where they had their mouths agape with shock, and their eyes widened to the point their eyelids seemed non-existent. They couldn't even process what was happening or why.
At the Water Veil Sect, a group of individuals at the Qi Unification Realm were monitoring the barrier for any suspicious activity or movement. Since the revealing of their True Essence Sectmaster, their jobs became quite lax and boring. No one even tried to infiltrate, not even the typical criminals who would attempt to enter the premises for thievery or kidnapping of disciples appeared. It truly felt dull to them.
"Liao Yating, have you reached the major success stage in the Liquid Veil Steps yet?" A young woman asked another, filling their boredom with idle chat about cultivation. The woman named Liao Yating couldn't help but reveal a slight smile at the other's question. Indeed, she did. Raising a standard-grade movement-based internal qi art to the major success stage was exceptional within the sect, and she focused a majority of her time on this. She was dubbed as one of top ten fastest mid-Qi Unification Cultivators within the sect.
She had her pride.
Just as she was about to respond, another young woman shouted urgently, "Intruder!!!" This caught all of their attention, and they looked at the formation before them to see an image of the intruder. A skyship surrounded by a strange aurora filled with motes of white light shoot into the territory with terrifying speed towards the sect's main palace.
Each one of them was surprised, and immediately reacted like they've done hundreds of times before. "Alert the Mazu Guard!" They sat at the formation sending messages to all the required parties. However, none of them was scared in the slightest. They had a True Essence cultivator backing them, who did they fear in Presba? Let alone a small and cheap ship like this one.
Unfortunately for them, this small ship had Yan Zaizen onboard.
"What are you doing?!" Lin Qinlin exasperatedly shouted out. She was panicking greatly at the moment. She understood the severity of barging into the Water Veil Territory without permission - it was immediate death, with no mercy. If she was wrapped up in this and blamed, then what Origin Consolidating Pill? Would it matter if she was dead?
Lin Feilin felt like she wanted to say something, but the sheer pressure from the three's cultivation bases left her feeling suppressed. Her cultivation was at the mid-Essence Formation and it was far too low in comparison. Any of these individuals breaths could send her to the afterlife, and she felt caution in her heart. However, there was also a hint of excitement in her eyes.
Yan Zaizen didn't even spare Lin Qinlin a glance. With his soul cultivation base infused with his tyrannical dao, he sent a soul transmission to all individuals within 600 li distance! Reaching not only all the members currently living in the surrounding area but all those in the sect's main palace.
"Sect Leader of the Water Veil Sect! You have 30 seconds to arrive before me, or today, the Water Veil Sect shall no longer exist. Choose!!" His voice was filled with a tyrannical ferocity that even an emperor would find hard to match.
To others, they may respect this sect, but why should he? If anything happened to his aunt or uncle, every last one of them will be buried alongside them!
EVERY LAST ONE!!!
Tao's eyes flickered with a trace of intelligent light. Yan Zaizen seemed to have developed a personality that heavily judged people on their decisions or actions. It started with Diyi, when he gave her a choice to live or die. Then, he did the same to Qiao Jianhong, he could choose to cripple himself or be crippled. The Soaring Cloud three upper echelons had the choice of a slow death filled with pain and suffering or a quick death. Even Lin Feilin was given a choice to stay engaged or annul it.
Now, he was giving the Water Veil Sect the same type of choice as the others. It changed based on the situation, but whenever he was angry, he would give his enemies no quarter for escape.
In the Sectmaster's private quarters, a beautiful woman filled with an unnaturally profound elegance opened her eyes when she received the soul transmission. Her eyes flickered with anger. If one perceived her cultivation base, they could feel true-essence surging within her.
This person was overestimating himself! This was her territory; how dare anyone disrespect her? To her, even a mid-True Essence Cultivator wouldn't be stupid enough to attack an initial-True Essence Realm Cultivator in their own home. It was foolish and ridiculous.
An example would be the Xiāo City's Lord. If Yan Zaizen had attacked Xiāo City filled with abundant formations, an army, and a sky-rank armament holding down the fort, that battle would've gone incredibly different. Even just the sky-rank armament's silhouette alone brought a sensation of profound danger to him.
However, was this the Xiāo City's Lord?
No!
He was a well-established True Essence Cultivator with a sky-rank armament, vast quantities of wealth from alchemy, and subordinates that could take down the Water Veil Sect alone. How many half-step True Essence Cultivators did they have? While the Water Veil Sect had none, but just one initial-True Essence Cultivator - the Sectmaster, Yao Wuying, herself.
Her movements were quick as she executed the Liquid Veil Steps. With a single step, it brought her outside the main palace in a blink. The next step brought her several li away, arriving in sight of the little skyship wrapped in a silver-blue aurora. Her brows furrowed at this. "Soul cultivator?" After a while, she snorted in disdain and contempt.
"You overestimate yourself." Her voice was calm and without a trace of anger. It was as if she treated whoever was on the skyship as insignificant. A surge of true-essence appeared within her palm, a small water ball was constructed. It was perfectly spherical without any bulge, hinting at its stability.
Multi-Dragon Surging Rivers!
She propelled the spherical ball as she unleashed her conceptual law of water: Myriad Transformation of Clear Water! With this, she could take any form of water and create constructs of varying complexities. It was also the same concept developed by her disciple, Ya Qinqan, and this coincidence is what lead to her taking her in.
Several dozen large and long dragons with a length similar to the Eiffel tower appeared from that small ball of compressed water-based true-essence. These dragons shrouded the sky almost instantly. Their rush caused the surrounding skies to be sundered ceaselessly and the ground to tremble from the vibrations of their movements.

They opened their mouths and released a soundless roar that could cause all minds to quake at the sight.
As the people onboard saw this, Lin Feilin and Lin Qinlin felt their souls leave their bodies in fright. Just a touch of one of those dragons was enough to extinguish their entire existence. Tao and Bai Lufeng turned serious. This attack may seem to have been done casually, but even if they ignited their very Origin Core's and executed secret arts, they couldn't hope to block this single strike.
The difference was far too huge!
However, Yan Zaizen eyes filled with intense tyranny and a smirk filled with battle intent.
ROAR!!!
He thundered out a roar so loud that the sundered skies quaked and all existences below kneeled in inferiority. His soul cultivation that neared the Perfect Aurora Soul Realm exploded viciously. Sure, with her concept, she may be able to transform her true-essence into large entities, but how could that compare with the speed of soul energy?!
Yan Zaizen stepped outwards, his body shrouded in silver-blue light. Immediately, hundreds of dragons in a similar design to the Water Veil Sectmaster appeared within a blink of the eye. The sky may have been shrouded by the water dragons, but it was directly replaced by Yan Zaizen's silver-blue soul dragons. Hundreds of dragons soared the skies, releasing an actual roar that caused all those with weak soul cultivations to fall unconscious almost immediately.
You think you can outdo me?
I'd like to see you try.
When the hundreds of dragons appeared in her sight, her eyes turned into a needlepoint as she could feel a subtle soul pressure from them. Initially, she suspected this individual's cultivation was at the Advanced Aurora Soul Realm, but this strength exceeded that by far!
Her assumption was indeed right, but he could be considered at the half-step Perfect Aurora Soul Realm with an infused dao. With this, even if he doesn't use any soul arts, he could rival the peak initial-True Essence Realm. With soul energies incredible speed and quick formation, how could she compare?
Before she could even react, her dozens of water dragons collided fiercely with the soul dragons. Their collision caused the earth to quake and the sky to disperse. If one looked at the sky, they could see faint traces of outer space from above. The very atmosphere of the planet was being ripped apart in their confrontation! Luckily, this planet wasn't weak and didn't shatter instantly.
The soul dragons overwhelmed the water dragons in less than a second. Not only were they superior in number but also in speed and power. The dragons, however, didn't cease their advance. They continued their movement towards the Water Veil Sect Leader with a speed she couldn't even match even with her movement art.
Her eyes widened as she retreated, her hands formulating another ball of spherical water, pushing it out to create another dozen water dragons, but they were cleaned up as quickly as they were created. She released several more spherical orbs of water to delay the soul dragons, but the sheer numbers were too much for her to respond to immediately.
She revealed a decisive gaze, a veil appeared on her face that seemed like the surface of a rippling ocean, and her aura skyrocketed in power.
When Yan Zaizen saw this, his eyes narrowed. However, he could see that this was a pseudo sky-rank armament. It wasn't a true sky rank armament, but one with a formulating Spirit Form. Due to its incompletion, it couldn't exhibit the full strength that a sky-rank armament could. Despite this, the power gained was not small.
However, there was an issue with pseudo and true sky-rank armaments and that was consumption rate. The reason why no cultivator uses sky-rank, even pseudo sky-rank armaments, carelessly had to do with essence consumption. A single usage could very well take 10% of an entire initial-True Essence realm cultivators reserves, and that was on the low side.
As for the Xiāo Mountain? One could imagine what a single usage could consume. As for a pseudo sky-rank armament, specifically, the Oceanic Water Veil, the legacy armament of the sect, would consume about 15% of her true-essence with each usage. However, with great consumption, comes great power.
Immediately, she released a spherical orb of water once more, but this time, it was covered with traces of oceanic ripples. It felt far greater than any other sphere thus far. This sphere, when released, transformed into a boundless ocean that surged across several dozens of li with profound power.
Yan Zaizen's eyes narrowed further, his gaze decisive. Immediately, Pinaka appeared within his hands as he pulled back not only the string but the soul dragons swarming forward. They instantly retreated like a flash, but they didn't disappear, instead, they condensed around the bow.
An arrow was condensed from the essence of the heavens, formulating a crystalized arrow radiating with profound power. This was an arrow condensed from essence, infused with the characteristics of Pinaka's power! It alone was terrifying. However, this wasn't enough.
The condensed soul energy integrated into the arrow causing it to possess silver-blue light radiating with soul-shaking power. A majority of his qi-essence surged inside, giving it a destructive conceptual law. Taking a deep breath in, he aimed the arrow at the sea of water surging towards him. It was like a single man facing a world of water! Yet, the man simply looked forward without any hesitation or fear on his face.
Breath out.
Release.
SOAR!
"One Arrow! Annihilate ALL!"
