History's Strongest Senior Brother c1-1474

  The Martial Grandmasters of Broad Creed Mountain exchanged glances, looking first at Yan Zhaoge, then at Shi Tie, before acknowledging his words emotionally.

  While they all had worries within their hearts, with little time being afforded to them, they could not afford to hesitate.

  If there was even the slightest delay, the Nine Underworlds would descend in the defenceless lands of the South Heaven Region.

  Very quickly, in response to Yan Zhaoge’s low cry of ‘Rise!’, countless black spirit patterns instantly surfaced on the ground.

  Innumerable sigils circulated, black light surging up into the heavens, transforming into countless black clouds that obscured the heavens and concealed the sun.

  Bloodred lightning descended unceasingly from the black fog, mournful and shocking, the gloomy flickering light of the black spirit patterns emanating a feeling that was filthy to the extreme.

  The terrifying air resurfaced, not emanating a feeling of evil, but causing minds to drift, unable to stabilise.

  A strange power seemed to attract the deepest, darkest desires, evil thoughts and stubbornness at the depths of everyone’s hearts, magnifying them unceasingly.

  At the centre of the formation of black light, a golden tower rose from the ground along with the surging of golden light, growing unceasingly as though it had a life of its own.

  Led by the radiance, countless black spirit patterns moved in mid-air, resembling numerous black chains as they entangled the tall golden tower, before all growing taut as though bearing a tremendous force.

  A bloodred glow was emanated from the peak of the tall golden tower, gradually condensing into the form of a door.

  This red door of light rippled like water, its silhouette gradually projected onto the ground before the golden tower, another great door surfacing on the ground.

  Within the area enveloped by the Devilish Domain Grand Formation, the black fog instantly grew denser and denser, till later, it became stickier and stickier, resembling mud.

  The devilish qi began forming a terrifying devilish domain as it enveloped the surrounding area.

  Outside of the domain of devilish qi, the First Seat Elder of Broad Creed Mountain and some of its other experts worriedly watched that terrifying devilish domain which enveloped a vast amount of territory.

  Having already received Shi Tie’s notification, they knew that the current Devilish Domain Grand Formation was being re-established by their own side.

  However, such an action that was like playing with fire still left them all feeling uneasy.

  However, in comparison, this was already a slightly better result. At the very least, it was much better than the Nine Underworlds descending in the totally defenceless South Heaven Region.

  It was only that if Yan Zhaoge and Shi Tie failed, the Nine Underworlds would descend here in Yunwu County, and everyone would have to stand on the frontlines, withstanding the initial invasion.

  Earlier, not yet having penetrated and entered the Devilish Domain Grand Formation, having known that Yunwu’s Wang Family was going to cause trouble, when Broad Creed Mountain’s martial practitioners had rushed onto the scene, in case of the worst, they had arranged for the ordinary citizens of Yunwu County as well as those others living nearby, along with weaker martial practitioners, to evacuate.

  Currently, they were not to the extent of being all panicked and flustered, allowing those of Broad Creed Mountain to properly engage in a great battle in Yunwu County.

  This was an important reason for the Sand Region taking on this risk rather than the South Heaven Region.

  The Sand Region urgently moved, while the news was also relayed at the greatest possible speed back to Broad Creed Mountain in the Central Heaven Region as well as the Southern Heaven Region.

  That the position of the Great Nine Underworlds Door could change also had to be told to the other regions, in preparation for the unlikeliest of possibilities.

  Gazing into the distance at the Devilish Domain Grand Formation which had already completely swallowed up the Wang Family ancestral ground, the First Seat Elder of the Sand Region muttered to himself, “Yan Zhaoge, you definitely have to succeed ah…”

  Within the Devilish Domain Grand Formation, at the core region, the black fog had vanished, to be replaced by a strange space filled with red light.

  Within this space, the golden tower stood tall, the projected silhouette of the red door of light growing clearer and clearer on the ground.

  On the ground, the space between the two doors distorted and shook unceasingly, causing the ground to also distort intensely.

  There seemed to be something that wanted to tunnel up from beneath the ground, ripping out a deep abyssal rift within.

  As this rift opened, it would be the rumoured path to the Nine Underworlds.

  The terrifying air that bewitched people’s hearts was currently at an all-time high, shaking people’s hearts.

  Yan Zhaoge’s expression was heavy as he stood beneath the golden tower, both palms pressing on its surface, at the same time also swivelling his head as he looked calmly at the Great Nine Underworlds Door on the ground that was gradually, truly opening.

  “We’re halfway there,” Yan Zhaoge said, “The devilish qi that was sent to the South Heaven Region is being pulled back once more.”

  Hearing Yan Zhaoge’s words, everyone slightly breathed sighs of relief.

  If this Great Nine Underworlds Door opened without preventing the formation in the South Heaven Region from doing the same, there would be two paths opened to the Nine Underworlds. At that point, everyone’s feelings would not be something that despondent and furious could describe.

  Everyone’s attention was currently fixed on the tall golden tower.

  The golden tower suddenly shook slightly.

  “Eh?” Yan Zhaoge’s expression changed slightly, “Someone wants to forcibly end my movements and drag the devilish qi back?”

  Above the red door of light at the peak of the tall golden tower, a strange scene suddenly surfaced.

  Raising their heads, they all let out startled, shocked cries, “Elder Liu?!”

  Yan Zhaoge raised his head as he was able to, seeing that a figure was reflected above that red door of light. It was a white-haired old man.

  He also recognised the other party, who was, shockingly, a longtime Elder of Broad Creed Mountain.

  That Elder Liu, his expression gloomy and slightly crazed, was currently clutching a black jade talisman, into which he was madly pouring in his true essence and fist-intent!

  Shi Tie’s expression was sunken as water while Yan Zhaoge’s gaze was cold.

  An illusory scene of red light also appeared before Elder Liu, from which he could clearly see Yan Zhaoge and the others.

  He was slightly stunned for a moment, then involuntarily let out a strange laugh as he knew that his identity had already been exposed, “Good son born of Yan Di, it’s you again?!”

  Looking at Elder Liu, Yan Zhaoge smiled but did not speak, focused on controlling the Devilish Domain Grand Formation.

  Shi Tie glanced at Elder Liu from the side, saying slowly, “After senior apprentice-uncle Wang , is it the same for senior apprentice-uncle Liu as well?”

  Elder Liu snorted, “People like you who have already stepped into the late Essence Talisman stage before having turned middle-aged-how can you possibly understand us?”

  He said coldly, “Words are useless-let’s see your true abilities!”

  Yan Zhaoge nodded, “I completely agree.”

  As he said this, maintaining his left hand’s position on the surface of the golden tower, he wrote some spirit patterns with his right hand in mid-air.

  As the spirit patterns landed on the golden tower, it instantly stabilised once more, the red light at the top of the tower growing stronger.

  Th
e door projected on the ground grew clearer and more real, gradually beginning to completely take form, as the great earth began to split apart!

  What lay beneath the fissured earth was not mud and rocks, but glowing red light!

  The distorted space led not to the underground of the Eight Extremities World, but the Nine Underworlds of legend!

  The abnormal, terrifying aura which bewildered people’s hearts reached an unprecedented peak at this moment, almost turning people insane!

  Within the red light, Elder Liu seemed to suffer the backlash of the formation as his face first turned an unhealthy blood-red, then became pale.

  The black jade talisman within his hands shattered, its fragments flying in all directions, shooting onto his body and face, actually piercing deeply into his flesh.

  “Yan Zhaoge!” Elder Liu howled like a wounded beast.

  As the silhouetted red door of light shook, Elder Liu’s form gradually disappeared.

  “Quickly notify the clan of this matter,” Shi Tie said without looking back, Elder Cong acknowledging his words.

  Yan Zhaoge said, “Eldest apprentice-uncle, it is still a false door now; this is the final moment before false turns into real!”

  Looking at the terrifying rift on the ground, the aura of the Nine Underworlds emanating from it that surged to the heavens, Shi Tie advanced as innumerable spirit talismans appeared around his body.

  The spirit talismans transformed into numerous spirit arrays, the many spirit arrays congregating, forming a silhouette that resembled an altar whilst also a pagoda, enveloping Shi Tie’s body within.

  The altar shrunk, becoming more and more condensed, merging within Shi Tie’s body, clear and bright, emanating infinite radiance from within.

  At this moment, Shi Tie resembled an indestructible Heaven Stabilising Needle, an unmoving pillar in the middle of the sea.

  He strode forward, coming above the crimson red deep abyss, his entire person treading on the rift.

  The deep abyss clearly shuddered, as Shi Tie followed up with a punch. The punch was slow, but was heavy and condensed till any more seemed impossible. While it was slow to the point of not entering the eye, it was filled with a feeling of eternity, never being moved, never being damaged.

  It was as though this punch could halt the changing of the vast oceans and the boundless fields, stopping day from turning to night and night from turning to day.

  That crimson rift seemed to be frozen in place at this moment, time and space all halting together.

  However, that ferocious aura of the Nine Underworlds was still skyrocketing unceasingly, seemingly angered by Shi Tie, as incomparably terrifying existences seemed to want to rush out of the rift!

  Shi Tie’s Profound Light Divine Armour shone with a black light, bolstering his punch that was heavy like a thousand mountains, causing the area around the rift to distort.

  A power that seemed able to stabilise the oceans and lift up the heavens forcibly suppressed that crimson rift.

  The crimson rift seemed like a wound in the Eight Extremities World as it distorted intensely at this moment, wanting to struggle and expand.

  However, frozen by Shi Tie’s fist-intent, it was forever unable to expand a single step.

  Trapped within the rift lay ferocious beasts who struggled to break free of their cage. Having descended into this world they wanted to escape and rampage as they like.

  The Great Nine Underworlds Door had been successfully suppressed by Shi Tie, but Yan Zhaoge and the others still couldn’t let down their guard.

  Above the tall golden pagoda, that door formed of blood-red light was already beginning to dissipate at this moment.

  The radiance of the tower also gradually dimmed, seemingly having turned into an ordinary stone tower.

  The countless black spirit patterns enwrapped about the golden tower similarly disintegrated.

  The devilish domain that enveloped the Wang Family ancestral ground did not completely dissipate, instead beginning to see some changes.

  The black devilish domain was currently turning blood-red.

  At this time, the source of the devilish domain’s power had already become the terrifying Great Nine Underworlds Door.

  The original formation, having run out of strength, with its mission complete, began dissipating for good, but only now could a more terrifying devilish domain descend into this world.

  True devilish domain!

  Enveloped by the bloodred, majestic devilish qi, Yan Zhaoge and the others all felt various emotions weighing on their hearts, all of them magnified several times over.

  As compared to in the black devilish domain of earlier, at this moment, it was even harder to stabilise the mind.

  Especially with the immense pressure brought to them with the descent of the Nine Underworlds. At this moment, restlessness and rashness and also negative emotions like fear and horror were all being nourished and growing.

  The urge to kill and destroy that accompanied it was also strengthening unceasingly.

  Everyone here, Shi Tie included, had to curb the various evil intentions within their own hearts, to ensure that they were not consumed by the Nine Underworlds.

  This way, having to divide their attention, everyone’s strength was reduced.

  As the one suppressing the Nine Underworlds, Shi Tie was bearing the most pressure, the crimson rift beneath his feet distorting even more intensely.

  Vaguely, bloodied water began to surge out from within the deep abyss.

  Sucking in a deep breath, Yan Zhaoge lifted up the pillar of the divine palace before spreading out the Immortal Crane Wings behind him, shooting towards the crimson rift at a shocking speed.

  Having come above the deep abyss, Yan Zhaoge pushed onto the pillar of the Divine Palace with his palm, numerous patterns of light appearing on the surface of the pillar, shining with a dazzling light as it descended mightily towards the deep red abyss below!

  Just as Shi Tie was clashing with the power of the deep red abyss, suppressed by the pillar of the Divine Palace, the flames of qi instantly weakened.

  Shi Tie exhaled with a loud noise as his wielded his fist-intent at its peak, the bloodied water seeping out from the deep red abyss instantly being suppressed back within once more.

  The aura of the Nine Underworlds surged madly, seeming as though its anger could not be contained, unwilling to take a step back in the least.

  As the bloodred devilish qi was broken through, a group of people rushed in, consisting of the First Seat Elder of the Sand Region and other experts of Broad Creed Mountain. Seeing the changes in the devilish domain, knowing that Yan Zhaoge’s and Shi Tie’s plan had most likely succeeded, they hurried here to reinforce.

  While the Sand Region’s First Seat Elder was far inferior to Shi Tie, he was still an Essence Talisman Martial Grandmaster expert, who was also fresh and newly arrived to the battle.

  With his addition, the Great Nine Underworlds Door completely fell at a disadvantage, beginning to close!

  The aura of the Nine Underworlds surged, a last madness emanating from within.

  Now, from the red light of the deep abyss, numerous streaks of black light suddenly shot into the air, aimed towards Yan Zhaoge and Shi Tie!

  Elder Cong and the other Broad Creed Mountain Martial Grandmasters all came forward, helping Yan Zhaoge and Shi Tie to block it.

  However, that black light was incomparably violent and brutal as even Essence Spirit Martial Grandmasters like Elder Cong were pushed into retreat.

  The black light exploded, a Spirit Vessel Martial Grandmaster of Broad Creed Mountain, taken slightly off guard, had his right hand directly blown off!

  “Nine Underworlds Yin Thunder!” Yan Zhaoge’s pupils dilated abruptly.

  Seeing Shi Tie and the First Seat Elder of the Sand Region already able to lock down the rift, Yan Zhaoge controlled the pillar of the Divine Palace, suppressing the incoming Nine Underworlds Yin Thunder.

  Suppressed by the pillar of
the Divine Palace, the remaining Nine Underworlds Yin Thunder transformed into numerous black orbs of thunder.

  However, the pillar of the Divine Palace was still rendered unstable by the impact.

  As Yan Zhaoge and the stone pillar stumbled backwards, landing on the ground, a black orb of thunder fell over to just right beside him!

  At this crucial moment, a massive figure suddenly rushed over from his side, lowering his head and taking that thunder orb within his mouth before speeding off into the distance!

  Yan Zhaoge stared.

  Pan-Pan!

  History's Strongest Senior Brother Chapter 257: All thanks to you!

  HSSB257: All thanks to you!

  Pan-Pan suddenly rushed out, his frame that usually seemed chubby and clumsy quick as flashing lightning at this moment as he lowered his head and took the orb of thunder that laid before Yan Zhaoge in his mouth, before speeding off into the distance.

  The next moment, a massive boom resounded as the area exploded with the dark light of thunder, surging into the air.

  Yan Zhaoge stared as he saw that massive crater in the ground, filled with dense, roiling smoke.

  The Nine Underworlds Yin Thunder exploded, filled with ferociousness and brutality, interfering with Yan Zhaoge’s sensory abilities as he could only wait there anxiously.

  Having consecutively wielded the Eye of the Thunder Emperor and the pillar of the Divine Palace had taken an extreme toll on Yan Zhaoge, as a feeling of weakness swept down upon him like a tide.

  Suddenly, Feng Yunsheng and Ah Hu cried out in delight.

  From within the dense smoke, a fat figure that carried the feeling of agility emerged.

  Foolish and pure, Pan-Pan returned to Yan Zhaoge’s side, extending his tongue and licking him.

  From the looks of it, he had thrown away the Yin thunder in time, not having been injured by it, the aftershocks of the explosion having brushed past him.

  Yan Zhaoge instantly let out a sigh of relief, fatigue surging even more strongly within him, almost threatening to overwhelm him.
