Contrary to what they expected, however… Not only did the young man not move a single inch, neither did the cauldron on his shoulder. In fact, there weren't any fluctuations of qi at all… And yet…
Master Ores' blow was completely blocked!
The young man chuckled. "You call yourself the Palace Master of the Profound Earth Sect, yet you don't even know the abilities of your own treasure?"
Those around sucked in a cold breath as they suddenly remembered. After the bell was wrong, no one above the age of the one who rung it could enter its domain, and no more than one person could at a time! This was why it was the perfect Challenge Bell!
"My name is Dyon Sacharro. I'm here to show you all the might of the Soul Path. Send your best up here if you'd like to kill me."
The reverberating impact of Dyon's words were felt throughout all 99 universes. The worst part about it all was that the blow was truly vicious!
What would happen if the four core powers cut off the images of these events? Wouldn't it sow doubt into the population they ruled?
With how viciously they had banned soul cultivation, wouldn't it be akin to admitting they were afraid?
They knew well the reason for this ban. This quadrant simply birthed too many soul talents. If too many were born, one with enough talent and foresight might begin to realize just how ridiculous the ban on fusing Formation Theory and Alchemy was. If that happened, the rise of Array Alchemy may once more begin!
They were tasked by their Employer to ensure that this never happened. Soul talents were crippled, and those who were too blessed were often killed.
Of course, those with strong backgrounds would always survive while those who lacked backing could only die miserable deaths or live miserable lives…
They had to ensure that this fear maintained its stability. It was simply impossible to peer into the secrets of trillions of individuals. If they didn't maintain this deterrent, how many would begin experimenting with their souls in secret? Once that begins, how would they contain this problem?!
To make matters worse, this still wasn't the worst case scenario.
If things got too out of hand, their Employer could be alerted. If this occurred, maybe the end of the four core powers would be nigh! Their only path remaining would be death!
At this point, the other three heads aside Master Ores who had previously not cared about this change suddenly felt a weight crash onto their chests. This was no longer a problem of just the Profound Earth Sect!
"Leave this to me, Master Ores!"
A robust young man brimming with vitality shot upward. He looked no different from a steroid infused body builder. His muscles rippled with a bronze sheen that almost seemed inhuman.
"Ai…" Master Ores descended back to his throne. This was no longer a matter he could take of personally. It had to be a member of the younger generation, or this would become a disaster! "… I'll leave it to you."
This young man was the 7th ranked Core Disciple of their Profound Earth Sect. He was almost guaranteed to reach the top 100. As a result, he wasn't too overwhelmingly strong, nor was he too weak either. If he wins, it would be good. This way, no one would say they were bullying others.
"Since you've decided to offend my Profound Earth Sect… Die!"
The young man roared, his body rippling to life as he shot a fist that could collapse the skies forward.
BOOM!
Many looked away from their screens, sighing inwardly. Too impulse!... This was their only thought.
However, when they looked back, they saw a scene they could have never imagined.
Not only had this young man still not moved… But he was completely untouched!
"No way…"
The geniuses below were stunned.
Dyon frowned, feigning anger. "What's with all of these old people trying to take advantage of me. Can it be the Core Disciples don't know the rules of your Profound Resonance Bell either?"
The 7th ranked disciple turned red with embarrassment. It can't be. This young man who had already stepped into the Dao Realm… He was younger than him?
How could that be?!
For Master Ores to be older, that was still acceptable. But he was the 7th ranked disciple of the Profound Earth Sect! He had been groomed due to his genius since his youth! He had even stepped into the Dao Realm before 200 years old! How could this young man be younger than him?!
The faces of the four Heads turned stiff.
Genius! This was the only way they could describe this young man.
In the end, the core disciple could only descend from the skies.
"Let me…"
Another soon took his place.
BOOM!
6th ranked core disciple failed.
"I'll go…"
BOOM!
4th ranked core disciple failed.
BOOM!
2nd ranked core disciple failed.
"Let me…!"
BOOM!
1st ranked core disciple failed!
Dyon shook his head. "I guess the Profound Earth Sect is just so…"
"Why does he… Look so familiar…" Prince Nova looked into the skies, his brows furrowed as he looked toward Dyon. Why did he feel like he knew this man? But if he did… How could he forget him? There's no way he would forget such a genius!"
"Prince…?" Tova, as usual, followed behind the Nova Clan Prince like a lovely little wife.
Master Ores' face turned bright red with rage.
The Profound Resonance Bell! It wasn't anywhere near the most powerful treasure they had in their Sect, but it was still the one which represented their prestige the most! It was the one that acted as their face, their pride!
No one not of the Ceres, Sona or Nova Clan had ever successfully challenged them! Would this really be the day this streak was broken? Would their Legatees really have to make a move?
BOOM!
"I know who you are!" Prince Nova suddenly remembered.
"Taejeer?" Head Nova frowned, looking toward his son.
Prince Nova had always been levelheaded. He never displayed such chaotic emotions. Never!
"He's the one father! He's the one who defeated us all at the gates back then!"
