Seeing this scene, all the people present trembled in shock while fear drowned the demonic cultivators.
Even the old man who was supposedly the leader of the remaining 10 demonic cultivators was not calm.
He tightly gripped the horsetail whisk in his hand, the horsetail whisk glowing with a divine silver light as his Spiritual Energy poured into it like an endless stream.
Tian Yongheng was also somewhat surprised by the horsetail whisk in the old man’s hands.
He could tell at a glance that it surpassed all the Dharma Artifacts he had.
A Rank-8 Dharma Artifact!
He guessed that the old man and the other demonic cultivators’ so called ’master’ may have given him this Rank-8 Dharma Artifact.
However, he was not afraid. This power would not pose much of a threat to him as the old man was only in the Nascent Soul Realm and couldn’t fully control this Dharma Artifact.
He decided to end this farce, and before the horsetail whisk Dharma Artifact in the old man’s hands could even charge up, he waved his hand, a terrifying wave of Spiritual Energy more than a hundred feet long slashing towards all the demonic cultivators.
*Whoosh!*
A gale swept over as the powerful force raised gravel and dust from the ground despite being high above in the sky, cracks appearing on the earth below.
All the demonic cultivators immediately raised their hands and formed hand seals, using various techniques and spells to offset the wave of Spiritual Energy.
The old man also did not accumulate any more power within the horsetail whisk and swung it ferociously, it’s power far exceeding the full powered attack of a peak Nascent Soul Realm cultivator!
*Boom!*
As the two various forces collided with Tian Yongheng’s Spiritual Energy, a terrifying wind raised between heaven and earth, containing terrifying destructive power that could obliterate everything in its way.
Tian Yongheng’s robes billowed as the aftermath of the collision raised dust clouds into the sky which even the Divine Sense of a normal Void Refinement Realm cultivator could not see through.
*Whoosh!*
The Spirit Qi of heaven and earth surged into their direction and formed a whirlwind that swept through everything, but Tian Yongheng’s eyes did not waver, remaining fixed on the scene in front of him.
There was a barrier protecting the people of the Brilliant Starlight Sect and his two disciples down there which isolated them from the outside world, so none of them were effected by the battle.
It was formed by Tian Yongheng, and the people inside could see everything happening outside.
As all of them watched the scenes before them, their eyes widened in shock. Specifically Tan Xue.
She had never witnessed a battle on the level of Tribulation Transcendence Realm before, so those was entirely new to her.
Seeing Tian Yongheng’s immense power and overwhelming abilities, she had infinite hopes for the Tribulation Transcendence Realm in the future.
Meanwhile, Yan Jingfei had a complicated expression on her face.
She could see that her master was already a powerhouse even in the Tribulation Transcendence Realm, possibly beyond the early stages at the very least to be able to contend against the power of that Dharma Artifact.

But it was precisely because of this that she felt weird.
When she first met him, he was not even in the Innate Real.
How many years had it been since then?
Yet now, he was already about to catch up to her cultivation which she painstakingly accumulated throughout her hundred thousand years of past life.
It meant that her master did not just surpass her in terms of cultivation in their past lives, but he far surpassed her and he was also far more talented, comprehensive than her.
She felt bitter inside. Some people were just better no matter how harder others worked.
However, she did not feel indignant. She felt that it was only fair.
Providence was a thing which could be called an ability too, after all. It may be the result of one’s past life capabilites and good karma.
At the same time, she also suddenly became curious about one thing.
How did her master fall in his previous life despite being so talented and powerful?
At this moment, the smoke slowly dissipated and revealed a bloodied figure, his daoist robes torn and hair disheveled as he held a horsetail whisk in his right hand. He was panting heavily as he looked ahead, his eyes bloodshot.
It was the old man from before.
Around a thousand feet away from him, Tian Yongheng’s figure could be vaguely seen. He had that same indifferent look on his face, as if he was completely detached from the mortal world like the Immortal Gods in the myths.
Seeing his face, the old man felt an indescribable feeling in his heart as he swept his Divine Sense around. He could not find any traces of his juniors, including their Nascent Souls, which made his heart sank.
He looked at Tian Yongheng, his eyes filled with unwillingness and fear.
This guy...he was just playing with me..if he wanted to, he could annihilate all of us in an instant, but he held back and left me alive...
The old man thought silently, his hand holding the horsetail whisk shaking.
"You..."
The old man spat out, his tone of voice filled with disbelief.
"Tell me everything you know, and you can still survive."
Tian Yongheng said without a hint of emotions in his voice.
He did not actually kill any of those demonic cultivators in both body and soul except for the first one, but destroyed their bodies and sealed their Nascent Souls inside of the Soul Sealing Divine Disc.
It was a Rank-7 Dharma Artifact, and it was pretty easy to seal the souls of Nascent Soul Realm cultivators with it. Right now, it could store a hundred Nascent Souls.
As it’s rank upgraded, it could accommodate more souls inside.
Tian Yongheng decided to seal their souls to interrogate them later on. After all, he was still only in the Void Refinement Realm and could not use abilities like soul searching or memory reading with his Divine Sense.
The Nascent Souls of those 10 demonic cultivators all let out curses and wails, but no one could hear them in the Soul Sealing Divine Disc.
The space inside was a separate dimension of spacetime formed from the Dharma Treasure itself which could only be contacted with its master’s permission.
Tian Yongheng deliberately did not explain to the old man about this because he wanted to hear all about his master and the demonic path from the old man himself, as he would most likely have the greatest access to the secrets of the demonic path than those other demonic cultivators.
He also displayed his strength because of this so that the old man wouldn’t have any funny thoughts of escaping or trying to contact anyone. It was a hopeless situation for the latter.
The other reason was that Tian Yongheng liked the old man’s style and demeanor. Despite being a demonic cultivator, he looked no different from a righteous path cultivators, more specifically, a daoist priest.
He also did not have any extreme evil aura around him which was a result of excessive killing and bad karma unlike most demonic cultivators, not to mention that he did not develop any hatred for Tian Yongheng.
The favorability meter was not based on impulse, but genuine favorability and hatred. It would only count when the hatred or favorability was genuine.
The old man’s hatred for Tian Yongheng was only impulsive because he had disrupted his plans and killed his juniors, but from another point of view, he would also do the same if the other party threatened him or his closed ones.
The old man calmed down and displayed the demeanor of a daoist priest once again, thinking rationally. The other party could kill him very easily if he retaliated, and even if he informed his master, it would still be too late by the time the latter would arrive.
In the end, he decided to give in and tell Tian Yongheng everything he knew about the demonic path and its future plans.
He did not become a demonic cultivator willingly, anyways.
Taking a deep breath, he spoke in a deep voice, "I’ll tell you everything I know."
Tian Yongheng’s expression did not change as he nodded slightly and landed on the ground, dispelling the barrier nearby around the others.
The old man also landed on the ground, stating in a 100 feet distance from Tian Yongheng and the others as he bowed slightly.
His acupoints had already been forcefully suppressed by Tian Yongheng’s Spiritual Energy just in case, so he couldn’t mobilize his Spiritual Energy through his physical body at all and could only destroy it to escape with his Nascent Soul as Tian Yongheng did not suppress it for some reason.
But it would mean wasting thousands of years of cultivation, and his Nascent Soul could definitely be caught by Tian Yongheng, so he had no other choice.
