History's Strongest Senior Brother c1-1474

  Let alone the fact that the changes in the Sacred Sun Clan’s Southern Underground Palace were precisely Yan Zhaoge’s own glorious handiwork.

  Yan Zhaoge paid no heed to the Heaven Striking Lord, watching him like a tiger would its prey.

  While Fu Enshu had been heavily injured, an Elder of Jade Sea City who had not sustained much injuries had also remained here.

  While not knowing what the Sacred Sun Clan wanted, through always keeping an eye on this hated enemy of theirs, Jade Sea City had noticed the Heaven Striking Lord’s abnormal actions, immediately paying close attention to it, specifically letting one of its Elders stay behind.

  At this moment, both sides were in a fierce standoff, neither willing to give way to the other.

  The Heaven Striking Lord’s gaze shifted between Yan Zhaoge and that Jade Sea City Elder, his gaze calm at times whilst restless at others as he did not speak.

  The strange atmosphere between the two gradually drew the attention of the others.

  As time passed, seeing that this matter was no longer possible, the Heaven Striking Lord finally retracted his gaze as he turned and left.

  The group of Martial Grandmaster experts here also dispersed.

  The battle not yet being over, these wounded Martial Grandmaster experts would not be heading to the frontlines, instead shifting to dealing with the aftermath of the invasion, securing the area while bring some martial practitioners with lower cultivation bases to exterminate the remaining Flame Devils on the East Sea.

  Having seen such a great, tragic invasion, the spiritual qi cycle of the Outer East Sea had virtually collapsed, a great amount of lifeforms within having lost their lives, with the area virtually having become a land of death similar to the Earth Domain.

  While it was connected to the Inner East Sea, the South Sea, the North Sea as well as the far ocean, for its environment to return to how it had been before, an extremely lengthy amount of time would be needed.

  And everyone knew that the door leading to the Flame Devil World would always be here. The Outer East Sea would still be a battlefield in the future, and would not easily be calmed.

  Yan Zhaoge remained behind, news of the frontline being unceasingly transmitted over.

  Yuan Zhengfeng and the other peak experts had pursued the Flame Devils all the way, completely expelling them from the Eight Extremities World.

  While the Flame Devils were defeated, they possessed many experts, many of whom still retreated safely back into the Flame Devil World. However, after Cheng Huang, another Flame Devil King was buried eternally within the Eight Extremities World.

  On the side of the peak experts of the human race, Turbid Wave Pavilion’s An Qinglin, Jade Sea City’s Lord Song Wuliang, as well as the Painting Saint Old Man Mo had all been injured.

  However, all of them had still managed to survive.

  With this great war now having ended, many matters still had to be handled in its aftermath, but things were finally no longer that greatly critical.

  It was instead a sentence of the Painting Saint Old Man Mo, usually transcendently detached from this world, spoken before he returned to Verdant Pill Island, that left countless varying thoughts and emotions within everyone’s minds.

  “Great Rider of Dragons, One Hand Supporting The Heavens. The future of Broad Creed Mountain’s Yan Zhaoge is inestimable.”

  The countless varying thoughts and emotions lingering in everyone’s minds-they all finally ended in admiring sighs.

  Henceforth, the name of the Great Rider of Dragons, Yan Zhaoge, would remain forever in the annals of the Eight Extremities World.

  HSSB401: Ever so naturally the centre of attraction

  The transcendent Painting Saint, Old Man Mo, had never participated in the conflicts between the six great Sacred Grounds before.

  However, there was none in the entire Eight Extremities World who would doubt his power.

  Even though the younger ones had limited knowledge regarding him, they too knew what a Martial Saint entailed.

  The leaders of the various Sacred Grounds knew well how powerful this longtime expert of the same generation as the Exalted Heaven Shaker, the Heaven Diviner and the Purple Sun Martial Saint was.

  As the oldest known expert of the current Eight Extremities World, possessing the highest seniority, Old Man Mo seldom moved, and when he did, he moved remarkably.

  The invasion of the Flame Devils this time had been fierce beyond everyone’s predictions, to the point of the entire Outer East Sea having fallen.

  Not just a single Flame Devil King on the level of a human expert at the second level of the Martial Saint realm had infiltrated into the Eight Extremities World, and having been first to arrive on the Outer East Sea, Turbid Wave Pavilion’s Pavilion Lord An, An Qinglin, had immediately been heavily injured.

  Luckily, Old Man Mo had arrived in time. Otherwise, faced with that fearsome first wave of attacks that had taken them off guard, An Qinglin might have perished directly on the Outer East Sea.

  Afterwards, Old Man Mo had also been a mainstay as he delayed the advance of the Flame Devils, not letting their formation be destabilised, re-establishing their defensive lines on the boundary between the Outer and Inner East Seas and holding on till the other experts of the human race had arrived to reinforce them, thereby setting up a foundation for their counterattack.

  It was only having been surrounded and attacked by many Flame Devils amidst this that Old Man Mo had been injured.

  However, harbouring injuries, he had still participated in the counterattack on the Outer East Sea afterwards.

  With the underground Fire Pith Veins having erupted, the East Sea in flames, Old Man Mo had persisted on, remaining behind as he joined hands with Yuan Zhengfeng and the others in clashing with the Flame Devils, all the way till that final all-out attack in which they chased the Flame Devils out of the Eight Extremities World.

  After Huang Guanglie had successfully advanced, breaking through into the second stage of the Martial Saint realm, many had felt that he might be the current number one expert of the Eight Extremities World.

  However, following the battle at the East Sea, the mysterious Old Man Mo whose abilities no one was able to see through had finally gone out with his full strength.

  Thereby letting everyone know that while he was the person of the six great Sacred Grounds with the highest cultivation base, Huang Guanglie could still not be considered the strongest of the entire Eight Extremities World.

  Therefore, the weight of the words of a peak expert like Old Man Mo could only be imagined.

  Especially when with this old man’s seniority and age, even Yuan Zhengfeng, Huang Guanglie and the others could only be considered juniors.

  His praise of Yan Zhaoge had not been from a lofty vantage point, rather having carried some feelings of eager anticipation.

  As everyone knew, other than the Exalted Heaven Shaker Zhan Dongge and the Heaven Diviner Zhan Xilou of Broad Creed Mountain in the past, whom he had rather praised, whether it was juniors or those of the same generation, Old Man Mo’s words were as precious as gold as he never evaluated those of the six great Sacred Grounds.

  Today, however, such an honour had landed on a youth who was but close to twenty years of age.

  And what left everyone with mixed, complicated feelings was that upon hearing Old Man Mo’s words, while they found it to be unexpected, none of them felt like they could raise any objections to it at all.

  It was not because of Old Man Mo’s strength and position, but that they indeed truly couldn’t object to his words.

  “Great Rider of Dragons, One Hand Raising the Sky. The future of Broad Creed Mountain’s Yan Zhaoge is immeasurable.”

  As everyone slowly digested these words, while countless emotions and thoughts still filled their minds, they all vaguely had the feeling that the words Old Man Mo had said were but a n
atural thing.

  Such a feeling that it couldn’t be any way else was what caused many to hold even more complicated feelings.

  As the major battle reached its end, not only did Old Man Mo return to Verdant Pill Island, the human experts who had rushed over to participate in the battle at the East Sea set off on their return journeys as well, returning to their clans.

  It naturally did not have to be said that having forcibly held on and participated in the battle whilst injured like Old Man Mo, Turbid Wave Pavilion’s An Qinglin would probably have to recuperate for some time in secluded cultivation upon her return before she could fully recover from her wounds.

  The Sacred Sun Clan’s Huang Guanglie and the Heavenly Thunder Hall’s Shen Li were comparatively in better conditions. However, they did not linger as well as they returned to their clans.

  After hearing the Heaven Striking Lord’s report, Huang Guanglie did not speak, just looking at Yan Zhaoge and Yuan Zhengfeng beside him before immediately turning and leaving.

  The Heavenly Thunder Hall’s Shen Li glanced at Yan Zhaoge with a rather complicated look on his face, a thoughtful look deep within his gaze, next bringing along his Heavenly Thunder Hall martial practitioners in leaving the area.

  As for Jade Sea City’s City Lord, the Jade Sea Martial Saint Song Wuliang, carrying the newly forged Sacred Artifact, the Jade Sea Pill Heart Sword, as he had battled atop the Outer East Sea, during the abnormalities with the underground Fire Pith Veins whereby the Flame Devils had held the battlefield advantage, he had battled with a Flame Devil King with strength equivalent to that of a human expert at the second level of the Martial Saint realm, having been injured as a result.

  After the battle ended, he had to retreat to Jade Sea City to recuperate from his injuries.

  In the invasion of the Eight Extremities World by the Flame Devils this time, Jade Sea City had stood at the forefront. Of the six great Sacred Grounds, it had received the greatest damage, nearly having been completely decimated as a result.

  Luckily, the birth of the Jade Sea Pill Heart Sword had secured Jade Sea City’s survival. Still, their clan nearly having been destroyed, with Song Wuliang also having been injured, they would require some time to recover their vitality.

  Most of the cleanup of the battle on the East Sea would also have to be handled by Jade Sea City.

  Still, whether it was the great tribulation of Jade Sea City before or the final, decisive battle on the Outer East Sea later on, all of Jade Sea City was still extremely grateful and appreciative of Yan Zhaoge.

  “I’ve got to return to Jade Sea City now to recover from my wounds. I’m sorry that I am unable to properly host you now. After I have recovered fully, I hope that senior Heaven Equalling Saint and Little Friend Yan will come to my Jade Sea City as guests,” Before his departure, Jade Sea City’s City Lord, Song Wuliang, gave Yuan Zhengfeng and Yan Zhaoge an invitation.

  If it were anyone else, the onlookers would most likely believe it to be an invitation of Yuan Zhengfeng, with Yan Zhaoge, a junior, just an accompaniment.

  However, everyone here knew that at this moment, Yan Zhaoge was similarly a guest Song Wuliang was inviting with all sincerity.

  Of all of Broad Creed Mountain, those Jade Sea City’s Lord Song Wuliang might invite in person, other than Yuan Zhengfeng and the current Chief Yan Di, consisted solely of Yan Zhaoge here.

  Yuan Zhengfeng laughed, “There will definitely be a chance in the future.”

  Yan Zhaoge smiled, “City Lord Song is polite. I hope to be able to receive your pointers in the future.”

  After having parted ways from Song Wuliang, Yan Zhaoge, Yuan Zhengfeng and the others also set off on their return journey back to Broad Creed Mountain.

  Those who travelled alongside them included Fu Enshu, Sikong Qing and other martial practitioners of Broad Creed Mountain.

  While the Flame Devils had been beat into retreat, their threat still existed. The various Sacred Grounds would still regularly station experts here at the Outer East Sea to guard against their next incursions.

  Having been heavily injured in this battle, Fu Enshu was to return with Yan Zhaoge and Yuan Zhengfeng to recuperate back at Broad Creed Mountain. The position of the East Sea First Seat Elder would hereby be succeeded by another longtime Elder of the clan.

  “I’m afraid that ever since the position of East Sea First Seat Elder was established, I’m the one who’s stayed in the role the shortest,” Fu Enshu shook her head as she smiled in self-mockery.

  Yuan Zhengfeng said, “It’s indeed the shortest. If possible, Master would also not wish for it to be so. Still, it is not that I wouldn’t like you back at the Mountain. It’s that I wish that there hadn’t been such a large scale war on the Outer East Sea, that the Flame Devils had not stirred things up so thoroughly as they have this time.”

  Fu Enshu nodded, “Your disciple also would not hope to have to leave the East Sea and hand over her duties due to injuries.”

  Yan Zhaoge said, “It was because of me that senior apprentice-aunt Fu had to risk her life in fighting off the Flame Devils this time.”

  Fu Enshu said nonchalantly, “Being able to quell the chaos of the Flame Devils is really the foremost priority.”

  Yan Zhaoge appeared thoughtful, “The Flame Devils have been beat into retreat this time, but their effects on the global situation of the entire Eight Extremities World are long-standing. I’m afraid that it has only just begun.”

  HSSB402: The possibility of counterattacking into the Flame Devil World

  The large scale invasion of the Flame Devils had been foiled, the gales and tides on the East Sea finally quelled.

  However, as Yan Zhaoge saw it, the effects of this incursion of the Flame Devils into the Eight Extremities World were only just beginning to ferment.

  Whatever one said, Jade Sea City now possessed its own Sacred Artifact, the Jade Sea Pill Heart Sword. With this, Jade Sea City’s strength would rise greatly.

  If not for the major disaster brought to them by the Flame Devils this time, having landed them tragic losses with a great blow to their vitality, Jade Sea City would immediately already have surpassed Infinite Boundless Mountain, Turbid Wave Pavilion and the Heavenly Thunder Hall.

  Even if they remained inferior to Broad Creed Mountain and the Sacred Sun Clan, they would still be on the same level as them.

  The invasion of the Flame Devils had resulted in a great tribulation for Jade Sea City. While the Jade Sea Pill Heart Sword had been successfully forged, Jade Sea City’s Lord Song Wuliang had been injured, while the Jade Sea Limitless Grand Formation that guarded their clan had also been completely destroyed, requiring time to be established once more.

  Other than that, many of its disciples had perished or been injured in the process, while their own Inner East Sea had also been invaded by the Flame Devils. With that, they had suffered losses in many areas.

  With their foundation and potential already present, if they could tide through these difficult times and recover their vitality, when Jade Sea City once more appeared in peak condition before the eyes of the world, it was destined to be more powerful that it had been before that great tribulation that had descended upon them this time.

  However, how they would tide through these difficult times was precisely the problem Jade Sea City now had to face.

  First not mentioning that the Flame Devils might invade once more, just looking at those of the Eight Extremities World alone, Jade Sea City already had to raise its vigilance.

  It was quite impossible to think that the Sacred Sun Clan and the Heavenly Thunder Hall might leave Jade Sea City alone as it recovered its vitality.

  After the great tribulation of Broad Creed Mountain, the forces of Broad Creed Mountain, Jade Sea City and Infinite Boundless Mountain combined had already come to hold the upper hand over the Sacred Sun Clan and the Heaven
ly Thunder Hall.

  If Jade Sea City improved a step further, the disadvantage of the Fire-Thunder alliance would inevitably only grow.

  In the great battle against the Flame Devils this time, the Sacred Sun Clan’s Huang Guanglie and the Heavenly Thunder Hall’s Shen Li had not sustained much damage.

  In rushing back to sit over Jade Sea City, these were the considerations that Song Wuliang had.

  He wanted to recover from his injuries, meanwhile also having to remain vigilant at all times against the Sacred Sun Clan and the Heavenly Thunder Hall suddenly launching an attack.

  Yuan Zhengfeng’s condition following the great battle this time was also relatively good. As Broad Creed Mountain’s ally, Jade Sea City could trust in his powerful assistance.

  However, Jade Sea City already owed Broad Creed Mountain too much from the invasion of the Flame Devils this time. This left great pressure in the hearts of Song Wuliang and the others.

  Yan Zhaoge stroked his lower chin, “Turbid Wave Pavilion shouldn’t have a problem, right?”

  As the supporting pillar of Turbid Wave Pavilion, its Lord An Qinglin had been injured during this time’s great battle, her injuries perhaps being the most serious out of all the Martial Saints of the Eight Extremities World.

  In having returned this time, she was most likely going to have to enter seclusion to treat her wounds. Otherwise, she might be permanently injured, in which case not only would her future cultivation be greatly hindered, even maintaining her cultivation base would already be extremely fortunate.

  With An Qinglin in seclusion, Turbid Wave Pavilion’s strength appeared rather flimsy.

  While it had always remained neutral, facing the prospect of controlling the vast regions of the Lake Domain along with its boundless resources, Turbid Wave Pavilion might attract some greedy gazes.

  “It feels like there shouldn’t be a problem,” Yan Zhaoge thought, “Under such circumstances, whoever made a move on Turbid Wave Pavilion, they would probably incur great public outrage.”
