Walker Of The Worlds

The four Dao Treading realm Gu Legion members were at a loss seeing the appearance of a new moon above them. They knew that it wasn't a realm moon and was merely a formation array construct, but the feeling of danger they were getting from it was no less threating than the old man they had been battling since the start.

Even if they had been taunting and humiliating the old man since the start, they also knew that they were unable to kill him outright. If it were not for the fact that the old man was trying to contain them here and preventing them from causing damage to places where disciples of the sect might be hiding, he would have probably managed to kill at least one of them.

They had not forgotten the warning of their lord before.

'Even if you all have reached the Dao Treading realm with my grace, don't take the Patriarch of the Noon Grass sect lightly. He is from the same generation of the old experts that repelled the Northern Tribes in the last great battle. 

He has faced a great beast above the Immortal Ascension realm and lived to tell the tale. Even if he had faced it with many others, that is no less of an achievement. He has lived long… longer than most patriarch and elders of the top sects.

Don't think that he hasn't accumulated any trump cards.' The words of Gu Yao echoed in their ears again.

And now, they were witnessing the same. But they had not expected that the patriarch didn't keep his trump cards to himself, but entrusted it to his people instead.

"HAIL!" The Supreme elder Hua Langya chanted and pointed at the Dao Treading realm Gu Legion members.

~HUALA~

The moon in the sky trembled and several spots appeared on it. 

~SHUA~SHUA~SHUA~SHUA~SHUA~

Tens of light rays shot out of it and targeted the Dao Treading realm Gu Legion members. One of them who was a little slow to dodge, got hit with one of them and felt pain in his hand.

"What?" The man was stunned to find a hole in his hand now. 

The hole was small, just slightly bigger than that of a crochet needle, but it was still something terrifying.

He looked up and was unfortunately struck with another light ray.

"ARGH!" This time, the light ray struck him in the shoulder, piercing cleanly through.

~picha~

A small jet of blood gushed out along with the attack, creating a clear trajectory in the air.

"DON'T LET THE LIGHT RAYS HIT YOU!" one of the Dao Treading realm Gu Legion warned.

All of them started to fly around, doing their best to dodge and defend them. One thing they had seen was that their personal defensive treasures were unless against these light rays. They could pierce through the defenses as if they didn't even exist.

Unfortunately for them, this was just the start and there was one person they had momentarily forgotten about.

~BOOM~

~KACHA~

"ARGH!" One of the Gu Legion members let out a grunt of pain and was knocked away.

In his place appeared none other than Patriarch Hua. His fists were tightly clenched and his aura soared like never before.

"Time to end this!" He said fiercely as his eyes turned bloodshot.

His bony and skinny body let off vitality that was unusual and unnatural for him. Till a few seconds ago, he seemed to be half a step into the domain of death and now he was like a youthful man filled with endless vitality.

"NOON OF LIFE!" One of the five elders recognized.

"Patriarch finally used it!" Another one of them said.

"This is the best time for it. No use keeping it sealed for any longer." The supreme elder nodded his head and continued his attacks.

He pointed at the moon and then brought the finger towards the Dao Treading realm Gu Legion member, as more rays of light rained towards them.

Daoist Hua too, didn't pause and let off one attack after the other. With a single punch, he sent another one of the Dao Treading realm Gu Legion members flying and with a kick, he split the already crumbled peak into half.

'What is this power? Did the old man consume some drugs?' the Gu Legion members were astounded.

And it was a proper reaction as it truly was a skill that was worth it.

This was the top technique of the Noon Grass sect. It was called as the 'Noon of Life' and only the patriarch and his direct disciples could practice it. The technique was something that had a long cool down and strict requirements.

This was also why only the patriarch could learn this, or rather only the person who could learn this technique would become the patriarch of the Noon Grass sect. 

Noon Of life was actually part of the true cultivation technique of the Noon Grass sect and the ones who were the most talented in it would be able to learn the top level skill such as it.

It worked by storing a part of the users' spirit Qi and vitality sealed in their bodies. This energy would keep on stockpiling for at least a decade. That was the minimum amount that was needed to use it once.

Its upper limit was two hundred years and beyond that it needed to be unsealed. Of course, one didn't need to unseal it completely. Merely letting off a part of it was enough. It was similar to emptying an overflying tank.

Its benefits were obvious. Noon Of life allowed the user to gain a great amount of power for a limited time period. At an accumulation of two hundred years, one could even battle an expert entire realm above them!

This was an absolutely terrifying ability when used properly and and the right time.

And in case of Daoist Hua, who had sealed it for just a few years less than two hundred years, it's power was even greater.
