Yan Zhaoge focused on the golden light, slowly saying, “With things being pressing, I have a rather impolite request. Allow me to say it straight up-can you send me into your clan’s central great hall?”
“I might be able to help.”
At his words, the people of Jade Sea City were all stunned.
At this crucial juncture of life and death, such segregations could indeed be discarded, but this was the forging of a Sacred Artifact, something that could only be achieved by a Martial Saint. Even a Transcending Mortality Martial Grandmaster would be unable to do anything with it.
It was just that the inconceivable miracle by Yan Zhaoge earlier in having kept the Flame Devil King Cheng Huang busy still hung over his head. Otherwise, they might really think that there was something wrong with his head.
Yan Zhaoge’s expression was deep, “Three things. The first is to send me into your clan’s central great hall.”
“The second is to let my Grand Master send some agglomerated aura of my clan’s Sacred Artifact, the Clear Qi Robe, into the central great hall.”
“The third thing,” Yan Zhaoge surveyed their surroundings, “Is to circulate your clan’s Jade Sea Limitless Grand Formation in reverse, infusing all the power within your central great hall!”
Looking at the solemn Yan Zhaoge, Song Chao and the others were all shaken.
A Jade Sea City longtime Elder muttered, “The grand formation is already on the verge of collapse now. If it is circulated in reverse, it would directly shatter.”
Yan Zhaoge nodded, “That is true.”
However, in such a situation, they could only break off the falling bridge behind them to forge a new one ahead.
Turbid Wave Pavilion’s Pavilion Lord An was injured, unsuited for protracted battles. As time dragged on, the situation would gradually become disadvantageous to their side once more.
Currently already dilapidated beyond compare, if just a single Flame Devil King were to unleash a full-powered blow on Jade Sea City’s grand formation now, it would immediately then be shattered.
However, at the end of the day, this grand formation still belonged to Jade Sea City. Yan Zhaoge couldn’t really say anything about it, only being able to silently await their decision.
Thankfully, the bigwigs of Jade Sea City did not hesitate, instantly compiling their opinions before looking towards Yan Zhaoge, “Alright, we’ll bet on it.”

HSSB382: Let it…explode!
With the matter already having been decided, an Elder of Jade Sea City directly pushed out with his palm, Yan Zhaoge’s figure flying towards the central great hall.
“Please open the door, senior apprentice-brother Yu,” This Elder said, and after a while, a small gap was opened within the formless barrier enveloping the great hall, through which the Elder and Yan Zhaoge entered.
Entering the great hall, Yan Zhaoge saw Jade Sea City’s Grand Elder, Elder Yu, currently controlling the formation.
Beside him, another Grand Elder of Jade Sea City was currently in meditation, his face pale as paper, weakened to the extreme.
That was the Jade Sea City Elder who had been controlling the Jade Sea Limitless Grand Formation earlier on, whose role had now been taken over by Elder Yu.
If he had not done so in time, this old man would directly have died within the formation, his energy completely depleted by the Flame Devils outside.
Elder Yu’s current condition was also extremely terrible, clearly having suffered heavy injuries.
Having heard the report of the Jade Sea City longtime Elders outside, already knowing the gist of the situation, he nodded slightly towards Yan Zhaoge, not having the leisure to speak.
Yan Zhaoge also cared not about pleasantries as he walked towards the back of the great hall.
There, a water screen appeared. It was jade green in colour and not transparent, the scenes within not visible from the outside, but a bright golden light penetrated outwards through it.
This was where Jade Sea City’s City Lord, Song Wuliang, was currently in seclusion forging the Jade Sea Pill Heart Sword.
Yan Zhaoge swivelled his head and looked at that Jade Sea City longtime Elder who had entered alongside him. The latter walked into the jade green water screen, and he followed closely behind him.
Entering the water screen, Yan Zhaoge halted, completely enveloped by jade green streams of water.
That Jade Sea City longtime Elder similarly halted, extending his hand and writing a few lines of characters within the air.
The characters seemed to have been inscribed within the water, transforming into a faint stream of light and disappearing after a while.
The next moment, Yan Zhaoge felt a powerful will emanating over from up ahead. It did not have to be asked for it to be known that that was the Jade Sea Martial Saint Song Wuliang.
While Song Wuliang was unable to move, he was not completely oblivious to everything that was happening outside.
Yan Zhaoge was not clear on his exact thoughts, but the City Lord did not show any signs of objection.
Yan Zhaoge immediately nodded, drifting over.
Looking from the outside, above the central great hall of Jade Sea City’s inner city, a thick jade green water pillar arose, combining with the top of the great dome of Jade Sea City overhead.
Yan Zhaoge’s figure appeared within the water pillar.
He raised his head to look at the scattered spirit patterns overhead that were on the brink of collapse, next lowering his head to look at Jade Sea City below. Then, Yan Zhaoge inhaled deeply, his gaze calm and also sunken.
In the central great hall below, Elder Yu controlled the Jade Sea Limitless Grand Formation, then sent this news over to Yuan Zhengfeng and An Qinglin who were currently in a great battle with the Flame Devils on the sea’s surface as the grand formation circulated.
While Yuan Zhengfeng was unclear on the reason, amidst his battle with the Flame Devils, he found some time to drop a few streams of clear qi down below.
The small black and yellow specks of light that resembled corn bobbed up and down, resembling numerous stars of the milky way amidst the clear qi.
The Flame Devil King did not understand his actions, but still moved to obstruct them.
Yuan Zhengfeng wielded streams of clear qi, illusory and real. Amidst his battle with the Flame Devil King, a stream of clear qi finally peacefully landed within the great sea.
Within the Jade Sea Limitless Grand Formation, suspended within the water pillar, Yan Zhaoge stared closely overhead.
When the aura of the agglomerated essence of the power of the Clear Qi Robe landed, Yan Zhaoge’s eyes lit up.
The clear qi entangled around the jade green water pillar, merging within as it drifted about.
At the same time as this, according to their earlier agreement, Elder Yu promptly circulated the Jade Sea Limitless Grand Formation in reverse!
The massive East Dragon Island that seemed like a mainland shuddered in its entirety once more, next rising upwards to the sea’s surface!
The all-encompassing screens of water that enveloped East Dragon Island all around also began converging at its centre up above.
Countless spirit patterns, numerous spirit arrays, collapsed one by one as immense destructive power was revealed.
All the jade water agglomerated in the air above Jade Sea City’s central grand hall, forming a massive sphere of water.
At this moment, Jade Sea City on East Dragon Island saw the light of day once more, the dazzling fiery glow of fire appearing before the eyes of all as an all-encompassing sea of flames and a terrifying power enveloped the entire sky.
If not for the protection of Yuan Zhengfeng and An Qinglin, East Dragon Island would immediately have been reduced to a land of burnt soil.
That massive sphere of water began shrinking, the great amount of jade water descending straight downwards through that water pillar, surging m
adly towards Jade Sea City’s central great hall.
Located within the water pillar, Yan Zhaoge also bore immense pressure.
His expression did not change as he suddenly took out a single object. It was his Internal Crystal Furnace!
Just the aura of the Clear Qi Robe and the spiritual force gathered from circulating the grand formation in reverse alone were insufficient to reverse this perilous situation.
Otherwise, with the people of Jade Sea City possessing the courage and resolve to go all out as they broke off all paths behind them, they might also have been able to think of a similar plan.
However, just these two forces alone, that from a Sacred Artifact and circulating the grand formation in reverse, were still insufficient to seal the deal.
Yan Zhaoge had instructed of three matters. The first matter had been him entering the core of the Jade Sea Limitless Grand Formation, the reason for this being his Internal Crystal Furnace!
Following the unflagging efforts of Yan Zhaoge and Broad Creed Mountain in analysing and raising its abilities, the current Internal Crystal Furnace had improved greatly from before.
As a Spirit Vessel Martial Grandmaster, if Yan Zhaoge wanted to interfere with the forging of a Sacred Artifact just relying on his Internal Crystal Furnace, it would still be insufficient somewhat.
However, Yan Zhaoge had already been prepared for this.
“Open!” Yan Zhaoge patted the Internal Crystal Furnace, its lid opening as the aura of the Clear Qi Robe entered within.
As its lid closed, the Internal Crystal Furnace shuddered mightily.
“Let it…” Yan Zhaoge inhaled deeply before roaring, “EXPLODE!”
Accompanied by his hands clapping on the Internal Crystal Furnace together, the massive furnace descended like a meteor, shooting straight towards Jade Sea City’s central great hall down below!
Not having reached the great hall, this bright meteor exploded mightily!
Powerful radiance emanated, combining with the power of the grand formation infused from circulating in reverse, surging together into the central great hall where Song Wuliang was currently in seclusion.
Instantly, the entire East Dragon Island shuddered intensely once more.
Incomparably bright golden light surged into the skies from Jade Sea City’s central great hall.
The next moment, a terrifying tsunami which was not inferior to the one from when the grand formation had been damaged earlier arose with East Dragon Island at its centre.
It was just that this time, the great tides that surged to the heavens were not spreading outwards in all directions, instead converging towards Jade Sea City on East Dragon Island from all directions!
Innumerable frenzied tides enveloped and submerged East Dragon Island once more, but were very quickly absorbed by the golden pillar of light arisen from the Jade Sea City’s central great hall.
In an instant, the golden pillar of light gradually transformed into a jade green sword-light!
The seven seas birthed light, an infinite, boundless majestic sword-intent thereby being born!
Within Jade Sea City, as Elder Yu and the others saw this, they were all overjoyed, “A Sacred Artifact belonging to our Jade Sea City, the Jade Sea Pill Heart Sword, success!”
The entire clan’s long-time dream had finally been fulfilled. Thinking of the great disaster which had very nearly extinguished them just now, everyone felt greatly emotional as their joy even almost brought tears to their eyes.
Within the sky, as the Flame Devils felt the changes down below, their expressions all changed greatly.
Some wanted to retreat just like this, some wanted to ignore Yuan Zhengfeng and An Qinglin and forcibly assault Jade Sea City, while some attacked Yuan Zhengfeng’s group with even greater ferocity, wanting to battle to the death.
In Jade Sea City below, the all-encompassing jade green sword-light was suddenly retracted, seemingly having vanished.
However, the terrifying sword-intent instantly shot into the skies, madly attacking the Flame Devils up above.
Having already been freed up, Yan Zhaoge stood within the air with his hands behind his back, looking leisurely at this scene.
The people of Jade Sea City below were all looking at him.
After a short silence, regardless of their seniority or age, all of them bowed towards Yan Zhaoge.

HSSB383: Reversing the situation, turning defeat into victory
Sacred Artifacts were hard to obtain. In the current Eight Extremities World, the other three Sacred Grounds aside from Broad Creed Mountain, the Sacred Sun Clan and Infinite Boundless Mountain all yearned greatly for one.
The Painting Saint Old Man Mo and the late Devil Saint Yuan Tian had also tried hard to forge a Sacred Artifact of their own.
Now, Jade Sea City had finally succeeded, forging a Sacred Artifact of their own, the Jade Sea Pill Heart Sword.
They had suffered a great tribulation, nearly having been destroyed.
The boundless anger that had been suppressed within the heart of Jade Sea City’s Song Wuliang all erupted at this moment.
The all-encompassing jade green sword-light was retracted, turning formless, seemingly having vanished.
However, three Flame Devil Kings here felt a chill run down their backs. Having already clashed with Jade Sea City martial practitioners numerous times, they naturally knew that what they would be facing now was Jade Sea City’s supreme martial art, the Jade Sea Formless Sword.
The sword-light seemed formless, but had actually transformed into innumerable tiny specks of sword-qi the size of dust particles.
While these specks of sword-qi were extremely small, they were tough and indestructible as well as sharp to the extreme.
They were scattered like tiny dust particles between the heavens and the earth, being omnipresent, completely undetectable, yet all-pervasive.
Executing the Jade Sea Formless Sword with the Sacred Artifact, the Jade Sea Pill Heart Sword, Song Wuliang’s strength rose to a whole new level.
Virtually in an instant, innumerable jade green sword-lights lit up all about the boundless sea of flames, rising up and down, visible at times whilst concealed at others.
An Qinglin’s sword techniques remained supple and endless, not revealing their sharpness, just coordinating with Song Wuliang in entangling the Flame Devil Kings before them, sealing their movements.
On the other side, Yuan Zhengfeng was finally free to assist, attacking rampantly in great movements.
Bolstered by the Clear Qi Robe, along with the descent of Yuan Zhengfeng’s palm, it truly seemed as though the heavens were toppling as a great part of the sea of flames instantly collapsed.
Watching from down below, Yan Zhaoge nodded continually in praise.
While Yuan Zhengfeng, Song Wuliang and An Qinglin very seldom joined forces, at their current cultivation realm, with their abundant combat experience and their outstanding perception, their attacking coordination was tacit.
His clan having been stomped over, Song Wuliang was burning with fury.
Having successfully forged the Sacred Artifact, the Jade Sea Pill Heart Sword, it was precisely his moment of glory where he would exact his vengeance in due.
However, when truly attacking, he still left the main attacking position to the more suited Yuan Zhengfeng, expanding the Jade Sea Pill Heart Sword in restricting the enemy, not being rash.
Not possessing a Sacred Artifact, also being injured, An Qinglin did not push herself too much as she left the main battlefield to Yuan Zhengfeng and Song Wuliang, staying in charge of filling up the gaps.
Yuan Zhengfeng performed his duties as tasked, in charge of attacking the enemy head-on, battling the three Flame Devil Kings as they were hard pressed to parry his blows.
The enemies were exhausted in trying to preserve their lives, withstanding Yuan Zhengfeng’s attacks while Song Wu
liang’s Jade Sea Formless Sword moved covertly and unseen, searching for a chance to go in for the kill as it posed a massive threat.
Under the combined efforts of the three peak experts of the Eight Extremities World, the Flame Devil army was instantly slaughtered into pandemonium.
With Jade Sea City below having lost its guardian grand formation, the intense battle situation might very possibly affect it.
If not for fear of drawing them into things, the advantage of the three Martial Saints would have been even greater.
Amongst the three Flame Devil Kings, Cheng Huang’s temper was the worst as he roared, his massive snake’s body shooting towards Jade Sea City down below!
From the looks of it, he actually wanted to try to destroy Jade Sea City and kill Yan Zhaoge and the others even at the risk of his own probable demise.
However, two massive hands grabbed out, directly grasping that massive frame with a human’s head and a snake’s body of the Flame Devil King, Cheng Huang.
Garbed in the Clear Qi Robe, Yuan Zhengfeng had extended his hands, streams of clear qi transforming into two massive heaven-concealing hands, capturing Cheng Huang!
Cheng Huang roared unceasingly in rage, thrashing as he fought his way over towards Yan Zhaoge, flames blazing on unceasingly.
Yuan Zhengfeng showed no signs of fear whatsoever, applying pressure with his hands as he squeezed till popping sounds were emitted from Cheng Huang’s body, seemingly about to shatter.
The other two Flame Devil Kings were respectively obstructed by An Qinglin as well as Song Wuliang, wielding the Jade Sea Pill Heart Sword.
That Flame Devil King who was equivalent to a human expert at the second level of the Martial Saint realm howled consecutively in rage, looking at the Jade Sea Pill Heart Sword in Song Wuliang’s hands and the Clear Qi Robe on Yuan Zhengfeng, finally unwillingly fleeing speedily back towards the east.
The other Flame Devil King who had been attacking Jade Sea City alongside Cheng Huang initially could also only helplessly retreat.
Song Wuliang and An Qinglin capitalised on their momentum, pursuing them all the way.
