With Di Nuo and Di Youguang escaping, the Di Sect's morale plummeted to the bottom. They were no longer able to put up any sort of effective resistance, and all of a sudden, Xiang Shaoyun was having a much easier time. He charged forward and was met with two Soul Foundation Realm experts.

One of them wielded a halberd and attacked with his seven-layered soul foundation, sending forth domineering halberd energies capable of crushing mountains. The other steered a six-layered soul foundation and attacked with a sword, sending numerous earth-shaking sword energies tearing forward.

These Di Sect members were not to be underestimated. They still had some experts in their ranks, which included these two. The only reason they didn't seem so special was that they were up against Xiang Shaoyun.

He released his one-layered soul foundation. His was a top-tier soul foundation forged with a primal divine stone. It was not the one and only soul foundation to have ever been forged with the primal divine stone, but it was still extremely rare.

The moment he released his soul foundation, he became completely immune to the pressure exerted by his two opponents. On the contrary, he was the one exerting pressure on them now. He activated his gift of instincts and saw through their attacks. He proceeded to brush through their attacks before launching his counterattack.

Havoc Dance, Flux Finger Sword Technique!

When fighting a large number of enemies, nobody could afford to be careless or underestimate their enemies. Thus, it was crucial for him to try killing with each attack he launched.

Havoc Dance allowed Xiang Shaoyun to read his opponents' moves, and it was considered a tactical technique. Working with the Flux Finger Sword Technique, he was able to attack his two opponent's vital parts before they could do anything.

The flux goldthorn energy pierced through their defenses before advancing toward them. One of them dodged due to his faster reaction time, while the other was slightly slower and had a bloody hole created in his body. A stinging sensation instantly invaded the latter's entire body, causing him to wail like a pig being slaughtered.

Xiang Shaoyun pushed on toward the injured person and slashed at that person's head and soul foundation with a finger sword he formed. He attacked swiftly, and his opponent couldn't even react before he was beheaded and his soul foundation was sliced apart. The other person took the chance to send his seven-layered soul foundation crushing down on Xiang Shaoyun while swinging his halberd.

Wild Rupture!

The expert was attacking with his life on the line. In this attack, either he or Xiang Shaoyun would die. Xiang Shaoyun could sense his opponent locking onto him. He instantly erupted the power of his soul foundation, blasting the seven-layered soul foundation away with his one-layered soul foundation. His opponent was momentarily stunned, giving him the chance to move behind his opponent with the Phantom Shift. He then slashed down with his finger sword.

A pillar of blood spurted into the air as yet another Sovereign perished. The other people were so shocked they didn't even remember to attack. Instead, they started running in all directions, leaving only a small number of people to work together against Xiang Shaoyun.

Xiang Shaoyun released the Nether Soul Domain and killed another group of people. He was akin to a death god, a killing machine that couldn't be stopped. Meanwhile, his clone was facing an even stronger resistance. After all, the clone was much stronger. As many as eight Sovereigns were joining hands against his clone.

These eight Sovereigns were expert combatants and were experienced in team battles. They worked together to form a small formation as they tried to erase Xiang Shaoyun with it.

Miniature Eight Trigram Formation!

Each of the eight cultivated a different power, and their cooperation was perfect. Their attacks were heading toward Xiang Shaoyun's vitals from the most tricky of angles.

Xiang Shaoyun's clone might be powerful, but he was unable to immediately break through the formation. To make things worse, the clone was actually incapable of using the Nether Soul Domain and could only rely on his combat strength.

He pushed his gift of instincts to the limits and endlessly dodged the attacks from the tiny openings he found. The six layers of Goldplates were wrapped tightly around him, and he was temporarily unharmed.

This formation is too powerful. Each of them can continuously switch their spots and attack with endlessly changing techniques. Their attacks are also coming from all directions, making them almost impossible to dodge, thought Xiang Shaoyun. If I want to break this formation, I have to stop it first before killing them one at a time.

At that thought, he focused his energy into his dantian and instantly released a tiger roar.

Roar!

He seemed to have transformed into an actual white tiger, flooding his surroundings with the majestic presence of the lord of beasts. The deafening roar rumbled into everyone's eardrums.

The eight Soul Foundation Realm experts had different cultivation stages. Some were able to barely resist the roar, while some were completely stunned by it. And that gave Xiang Shaoyun the opening he was looking for.

Enemy Sealing!

He unleashed his second self-created technique and completely sealed his opponents' movements, not giving them the chance to launch an attack.

Flamewater discordance!

Two different astral energies were unleashed. Two dragons shot out, one red and one blue, and they coiled around each other as they unleashed a destructive attack that instantly killed two enemies.

Golden fury!

Xiang Shaoyun followed up with a continuous stream of attacks, releasing two additional astral energies before sending them to the Sovereigns around him.

The Sovereigns naturally wouldn't sit still and wait for their deaths. One of them shouted, "Activate the Six Blessings Formation!"

The one who spoke might be swift in his reaction, but he was not fast enough for Xiang Shaoyun. Another was killed before they could even erect the formation.

They became even more frightened. The same person shouted again, "Five Stars Congregation Formation!"

But just as he said that, Xiang Shaoyun arrived beside another person and smashed his head into mincemeat. The blood spurted onto Xiang Shaoyun's face, painting him red with blood. He looked every bit an unstoppable god of slaughter.

"F-Four Division—" stuttered the person giving the commands, trying to say something as all his remaining companions started fleeing.

"Four Divisions Formation, right?" asked Xiang Shaoyun as he arrived before him.

"N-No, Four Negative Divisions Formation," he replied honestly as he trembled in fear.

"Nice name. Rest in peace," said Xiang Shaoyun with a nod.

Just as Xiang Shaoyun was about to kill him, the person knelt down and begged for forgiveness, "Young master, please spare me. I am willing to serve you with unwavering loyalty."

He was an eighth-stage Soul Foundation Realm expert. But even someone like him could only kneel down and beg for mercy before Xiang Shaoyun. One could see that Xiang Shaoyun had already matured into a powerful individual.

"Sure. Those who surrender shall be spared," said Xiang Shaoyun with a smirk.

His voice reverberated, striking straight into the hearts of everyone present, making them waver. If even their elder was kneeling and begging for mercy, why should they continue resisting?

Just as some people were about to surrender, a domineering voice rang out, "Do not be too arrogant, Xiang Shaoyun. I'll be taking your head."
