  A fire spear was thrown out, a blazing sea of flames appearing as it exploded in mid-air.

  Many fire spears were thrown after it, instantly transforming the surrounding heavens and earth into a cage of flames, wanting to trap all of Yan Zhaoge’s paths alongside the bubbling ocean below.

  Ah Hu bared his teeth, pulling back the corners of his lips, “Young Master, didn’t you say that you had previous arrangements? Can it still be used under such circumstances?”

  Yan Zhaoge expanded the Immortal Crane Wings behind his back, the purplish-green light of thunder flickering within his right eye, streams of electricity stimulating his entire body as they flowed to the wings on his back.

  The wings shook, increasing Yan Zhaoge’s speed to its maximum as he barely avoided another fire spear.

  “With this current environment, it cannot be used,” Yan Zhaoge curled his lips, “However, the things still have to be retrieved. They will have other uses.”

  Saying thus, he shot upwards, rising higher before he abruptly changed direction and headed downwards once more.

  The attack of that Great Flame Devil was evaded, with it already beginning to viciously chase over.

  Yan Zhaoge relaxed his hands, Ah Hu and Pan-Pan both descending.

  Meanwhile, he had already drawn back the bowstring of Heaven Shocker at lightning speed, the bow roaring as three Devil Breaking Ice Talismans whistled through the air, transforming into golden streaks of light as they shot towards that Great Flame Devil.

  Having released those three arrows, Yan Zhaoge kept Heaven Shocker, the Immortal Crane Wings shaking behind him. He went downwards, grabbing the descending Ah Hu and Pan-Pan once more.

  That Great Flame Devil’s footsteps were halted by those Devil Shattering Ice Talismans, but flames quickly surged about its entire body.

  The blazing hot aura of the surrounding heavens and earth also took effect as the golden frost was very quickly melted.

  The Great Flame Devil howled madly, chasing after Yan Zhaoge once more.

  Yan Zhaoge took Ah Hu and Pan-Pan along in shooting downwards into the great sea.

  The ocean before them was already completely boiling, the sea water roiling as countless massive bubbles surged upwards before exploding one by one.

  Let alone the sea below, just the explosion of these air bubbles alone already contained immense destructive power, making it hard for others to approach.

  Pan-Pan let out a low cry as numerous black streams of water as well as numerous white streams of flames appeared about him from nowhere, shrouding the bodies of the three.

  The white fire and the black water temporarily kept away the boiling seawater and the blazing fire.

  Yan Zhaoge brought Ah Hu and Pan-Pan in heading downwards, re-entering the depths of the sea.

  At this moment, the depths of the sea had already transformed into a world of lava and melted rocks, being completely bright red as it was filled with an air of destruction.

  As Yan Zhaoge’s gaze swept the area, he saw a massive ice ball suspended within the seawater, not floating upwards whilst also not sinking downwards.

  Amidst the burning sea, breaking noises resounded from the surface of this ice ball, several cracks forming.

  While it did not truly shatter, if it continued to remain in such an environment, it would clearly also be destroyed by the sea of flames.

  Yan Zhaoge pressed down on that massive ice ball with his palm, his Shadow Shrinking Pouch opening as it kept the big ice ball within like a snake swallowing an elephant.

  During such a short pause of time, the Great Flame Devil behind had already caught up with them once more.

  Carefully observing the unceasingly spurting underground fire, Yan Zhaoge promptly led Ah Hu and Pan-Pan in speeding away.

  “This is also not the Southern Underground Palace. Enveloping the earth veins of the entire Outer East Sea on such a huge scale, causing the eruption of underground fire, the eruption would not just have been caused at a single point. Rather, it should have been worked on at many points, having caused a chain reaction.”

  Cold light flickered within Yan Zhaoge’s eyes, “At the points at which the earth veins were stimulated as well the lines for the chain reaction, it should instead be rather more calm.”

  Evading the underground fire spurting out from the bottom of the sea.

  Evading the pursuit of the Great Flame Devil behind.

  Moving according to calculations on the nature of the circulation of the Fire Pith Veins in the surroundings.

  Amidst their hurried escape, Yan Zhaoge split some of his attention, circulating his brainpower to its maximum as he even began feeling a little dizzy.

  Finally, the temperature of the surrounding seawater suddenly decreased somewhat!

  As Yan Zhaoge gazed over, he saw that amidst the crimson depths of the sea, an existence like a path had shockingly appeared.

  Those were several underwater mountain ranges, seemingly having been protected by some formless power as they had been left untouched by the surrounding sea of flames.

  Amidst the vast, dense sea, underground eruptions had occurred all around at its bottom, but this region here had been left wholly unaffected.

  Amidst the flowing fire all around, it resembled a long line, extending into the distance, stretching out further than the eye could see.

  Yan Zhaoge exhaled, “It is indeed so!”

  However, as the Great Flame Devil shot over in pursuit, with the environment of the entire Outer East Sea having already completely changed, he was still boosted by the power of the fire sea amidst this calm underground area of sea.

  This Great Flame Devil rushed over on its four legs, shooting over towards Yan Zhaoge.

  Yan Zhaoge completely ignored it, instead continuing forward amidst the path without flames after having identified that direction.

  After having travelled a great distance, unceasingly calculating his coordinates within his heart whilst clashing sporadically with that Great Flame Devil behind him, Yan Zhaoge suddenly slowed his pace.

  Raising his head and gazing over, he saw that the underwater mountain ranges before him had suddenly stopped, a break having appeared amongst them.

  While it was not like other places where underground fire was unceasingly spurting out, at the place here where a mountain range had been broken, the ground had concaved inwards as a deep abyss had been formed.

  The crimson light of fire arose from within that deep abyss.

  As Yan Zhaoge saw that deep abyss that emanated fiery light, he immediately rushed over.

  The expression of the Great Flame Devil behind them changed slightly, letting out an enraged roar whose meaning was hard to discern, its speed also seemingly increasing somewhat as it sped off in pursuit.

  “Young Master!” Ah Hu’s expression was grave to the extreme as he suddenly gave a low yell.

  Yan Zhaoge’s expression was calm, “Yeah, I feel it.”

  Up ahead in the distance, numerous powerful auras were currently headed in this direction, these auras brutal and also blazing hot, clearly also being Flame Devils.

  Amongst them, there was one whose powerful aura was not inferior to the one behind them in the least.

  It was clearly another Great Flame Devil!

  Very quickly, in the area of sea up ahead, many figures whose bodies blazed with flames appeared. Their leader had its wings spread as it flew high, resembling a fiery bird as it instantly arrived in the vicinity of the deep abyss.

  Behind this Great Flame Devil were yet more Flame Devils. Seeing Yan Zhaoge, they let out simultaneous, heaven-shocking enraged howls.

  That Great Flame Devil chasing after Yan Zhaoge also howled furiously, the two seemingly communicating through such a means.

  “Young Master, as this Great Flame Devil has been chasing us, it has also be
en trying to get into contact with other Flame Devils,” Ah Hu said in a heavy tone, “As time drags on, more Flame Devils will hurry over to reinforce him.”

  Yan Zhaoge did not speak, instead determinedly continuing to rush towards that deep abyss which emanated a fiery glow.

  Amidst his advance, he suddenly released that massive ice ball that he had kept earlier from his Shadow Shrinking Pouch.

  Having arrived right above that deep abyss, Yan Zhaoge formed a seal with his right fist, then punched mightily onto the ice ball.

  The ice ball suddenly shuddered, dropping straight downwards as it fell into the deep abyss that emanated a fiery light.

  The Flame Devils before and behind Yan Zhaoge let out multiple enraged howls, rapidly shooting over towards him.

  Yan Zhaoge ignored the two Flame Devils, instead punching into the air towards that ice ball.

  The ice ball which had not completely shattered in the sea of flames earlier now mightily broke apart.

  Numerous bright streams of light flickered, forming countless ice-blue spirit patterns, together establishing a massive spirit formation.

  The nine ice shards that were laid out respectively about the boundary of the formation now expanded, transforming into nine white pillars of light, penetrating through the deep sea and stabilising the spirit formation.

  In the centre of the spirit formation was heaped a great amount of golden ice crystals, precisely being Devil Shattering Ice Talismans that Yan Zhaoge had forged.

  The spirit formation hung within the air, then slowly descended into the deep abyss.

  In the depths of the deep abyss, the lava and the blazing fire seemed to have felt something as they surged non-stop, their earlier calmness no longer existent as they began spurting upwards.

  That Great Flame Devil in the shape of a fiery bird hesitated slightly, seemingly wanting to descend into the depths of the deep abyss.

  Meanwhile, that eight-armed, four-legged Great Flame Devil that had been chasing after Yan Zhaoge for so long was enraged even further as it pursued Yan Zhaoge even more frenziedly.

  It raised its arm, a fire spear flying towards Yan Zhaoge once more.

  Yan Zhaoge and Ah Hu landed on Pan-Pan. Within the deep sea, Pan-Pan extended his paws, fleeing madly.

  Of the remaining Flame Devils, some rushed towards the deep abyss down below while others went to obstruct Yan Zhaoge as well.

  The threat posed by them towards Yan Zhaoge was far less than that by the two Great Flame Devils. If not for those two, Yan Zhaoge could have slowly taken care of them.

  Now, however, with a Great Flame Devil present by the side and these Flame Devils coming to surround him, the threat they posed also became great.

  Yan Zhaoge did not let himself get caught by them, pulling back the bowstring of Heaven Shocker as he shot off some of his few remaining Devil Shattering Ice Talismans one by one.

  Numerous streaks of golden light shot over within the deep sea, a massive glacier condensing, blocking those Flame Devils.

  However, the fire spear thrown by that Great Flame Devil behind him arrived before him in an instant, quick to the point that it could not be evaded!

  Its violent, blazing hot aura that was filled with an air of destruction caused the glacier formed by the Devil Shattering Ice Talismans to gradually melt as it began to unceasingly break apart.

  Yan Zhaoge held the bow in his left hand, taking out a small black incense burner with his right hand at lightning speed, aimed towards that fire spear which was shooting over mightily towards him.

  This Flame Devil was extremely tall, that fire spear thrown by it also a massive entity, being several tens of metres in length and more than a metre in breadth.

  Yan Zhaoge held the Earth Devouring Burner before him. Mysteriously somehow, the space before the Earth Devouring Burner seemed to have distorted as the massive fire spear shrunk rapidly, being absorbed within the Earth Devouring Burner!

  Pan-Pan made use of this chance to bring Yan Zhaoge along in shooting forward rapidly.

  “Huh?” Now, purplish-green light abruptly flickered within Yan Zhaoge’s right eye as a mild piercing pain throbbed.

  Having been reminded by Yan Zhaoge, Pan-Pan abruptly roared, spitting out a streak of blazing white fire ahead.

  The white fire arrow shot far into the distance, traversing the seawater as it initially moved without obstruction, yet suddenly halted.

  The next instant, light appeared within this boundless darkness, the green light of thunder suddenly appearing in great amounts, also carrying a small amount of strange silver lightning within.

  The green light of thunder shot into the skies, forming a great barrier which obscured the heavens, enveloping the surrounding area in the vicinity of the deep abyss.

  Striking the barrier of green thunder, the white fire arrow shot out by Pan-Pan was instantly destroyed by it.

  Seeing this, Yan Zhaoge’s pupils instantly dilated slightly, “Heavenly Thunder Hall!”

  Enveloped by the light of thunder, a one-eyed youth appeared. It was precisely Lin Zhou.

  Other than Lin Zhou, in different directions were also other martial practitioners of the Heavenly Thunder Hall, dispersed in groups of twos and threes as they respectively stabilised the formation where they were.

  Three great green flags were erected in a triangular formation, together establishing this massive divine barrier of green thunder.

  Lin Zhou and the others had still yet to speak when Yan Zhaoge directly let out a low roar, the light of thunder flickering within his right eye, a purple orb appearing above his head.

  Eye of the Thunder Emperor fragment!

  A terrifying strike of An Instant’s Thunder roared madly, revealing and venting its power that was violent to the extreme.

  The very heavens and earth seemed to be shaken at this moment as even the Great Flame Devil that had been pursuing Yan Zhaoge for so long earlier felt fear within its heart.

  The terrifying light of thunder surged forward like a long river, directly vaporizing all the seawater in the surroundings as a vacuum road was cleared out before them.

  An Instant’s Thunder collided with the divine barrier of green thunder, a great green flag directly being shattered by this!

  Where the flag was located, the rock formations at the depths of the sea collapsed, scenes like the heavens collapsing and the earth breaking apart playing out.

  The Heavenly Thunder Hall martial practitioners in the vicinity, that thin senior apprentice-brother Zhang included, lost their footing, falling downwards together.

  A massive hole was ripped apart within that all-encompassing barrier of green thunder in the blink of an eye.

  Yan Zhaoge led Ah Hu and Pan-Pan along in shooting towards that hole.

  However, Lin Zhou seemed to have long been prepared for this as he suddenly flashed a great green flag that was exactly the same as the rest.

  Three great flags gathered once more, the divine barrier of green thunder established once more as it blocked the path of Yan Zhaoge’s group.

  Ah Hu broke out scolding, “Good, so you Heavenly Thunder Hall are wearing the same pair of pants as the Flame Devils?”

  Lin Zhou stared at Yan Zhaoge with his right eye as he said coldly, “Our clan is just entrapping the chaotic Flame Devils. You just happen to be located within; it’s pure coincidence.”

  “Still, it is not possible to open a hole for you to get out. Otherwise, if the Flame Devils escape and wreak havoc, that is not a responsibility that anyone can bear.”

  “If you sustain any damage from this, I can only express my regret. In battles with the Flame Devils, there will inevitably always be some casualties. The Broad Creed Young Master Yan Zhaoge has always performed exemplarily, and would naturally not mind sacrificing himself for the greater good. Here, on behalf of the countless lifeforms of the Eight Extremities World, I thank you for your efforts and your sacrifice.”

  Yan Zhaoge looked at Lin Zhou, raising his brows slightly, “That silvery light of thunder just now…”

  Lin Zhou gazed at the Eye of the Thunder Emperor fragment above Yan Zhaoge’s head, dimming due to just having exerted all its power with An Instant’s Thunder.

  ”It’s clearly just a Sacred Artifact fragment, two having combined into one, but it can actually already release such a powerful attack?”

  Every time he heard news about Yan Zhaoge succeeding with a dazzling feat with the help of the Eye of the Thunder Emperor fragment, Lin Zhou would feel depressed to the point of wanting to vomit blood.

  Let alone direct confrontations like this one, whereby if not for his earlier preparations, with that just now, Yan Zhaoge would already have broken free of his encirclement.

  Yan Zhaoge’s forward path was sealed by Lin Zhou’s Divine Sky Green Thunder Barrier once more, with him forced to continue attempting to break it as roiling heat waves were already coming up behind him once more.

  As that Great Flame Devil with four legs and eight arms saw that the power of Yan Zhaoge’s Eye of the Thunder Emperor fragment had deteriorated, he resumed his offence.

  The air above him was sealed by that Divine Sky Green Thunder Barrier. Yan Zhaoge immediately brought Ah Hu and Pan-Pan in fleeing downwards, evading the attack of that Great Flame Devil before him.

  Because of the previous mighty strike of An Instant’s Thunder, the underwater mountain ranges beneath them had partially collapsed greatly, causing broken chunks of rocks to fly through the area and underground fire to spurt out from the earth’s surface as the situation had become very chaotic, silhouettes all blurry.

  Yan Zhaoge’s group evaded the underground fire spurting above and the broken mud and rocks shooting about everywhere, heading downwards.

  That Great Flame Devil followed closely behind them, violent flames destroying all objects that stood in its path.

  Gazing downwards, Lin Zhou was unable to clearly see anything, but his expression remained unchanged, “Other than in this point region of stability, there are rampaging Fire Pith Veins everywhere else underground. That earth-tunnelling treasure of yours will not be effective.”
