With that collision, space itself seemed to explode as the numerous flame hurricanes originally swirling about all shattered.
Yan Di had not the time to retract the Heavenly Dragon Sabre in his right hand, but his expression was as per usual as he wielded his left palm like a sabre, chopping out towards that incoming Great Flame Devil King!
This sabre was actually different from the Immeasurable Heavenly Sabre that Yan Di had always been using.
The sabre-intent was majestic, bringing along tens of thousands of phenomena.
Its basis was still of Broad Creed Mountain’s direct lineage, the Clear Qi Profound Art and the Immeasurable Heavenly Sabre.
However, it was no longer majestic and momentous in the form of the Immeasurable Heavenly Sabre.
There was only one clear feeling this sabre gave off.
Domineering!
Other than domineering, it was still domineering!
Presiding over all lower lifeforms, rampaging throughout without reservation!
In that instant in which Yan Di had stepped into the Martial Saint realm, he had flawlessly connected and combined his martial true intent with all which he had previously learned, self-creating this unparalleled, supreme martial art!
Extreme Heaven Domineering Sabre!
It was a sabre that none in this world had ever possessed, currently appearing before the people of this world for the very first time!
It was a domineering sabre attack most fitted to Yan Di, unleashing all of his power perfectly as it connected him with the grand daos of the heavens and the earth!
Substituting palm for sabre, Yan Di chopped down on a horn of that Great Flame Devil King.
The bodies of the two shook in unison!
That Great Flame Devil King howled deafeningly in rage before stumbling backwards in retreat.
One of the horns on its bull’s head had shockingly been hacked off by Yan Di!
Yan Di uttered a low cry as he was sent backwards by the shock as well. Still, he quickly halted.
He raised the Heavenly Dragon Sabre in his right hand, chopping out with yet another sabre!
As the domineering aura rampaged, as the Extreme Heaven Domineering Sabre which was fearsome beyond compare was executed by Yan Di having just stepped into the Martial Saint realm, the elite high-grade spirit artifact, the Heavenly Dragon Sabre, actually trembled unceasingly as it seemed unable to bear the sabre-intent that was contained within this sabre of Yan Di’s!
With furious howls, the Great Flame Devil King lunged forward once more, the flame patterns on its entire body lighting up dazzlingly.
The boundless flames in the sky above suddenly fell greatly.
However, the strength of the Great Flame Devil King skyrocketed, first condensing rapidly before finally erupting mightily!
The heavens and the earth were instantly enveloped by infinite radiance as even the Martial Saints and the Flame Devil Kings could not see clearly for a moment.
After the radiance had passed, boundless waves of fire and sabre-intent expanded towards their surroundings, virtually sweeping through all between the surrounding heavens and earth as it increased rapidly in radius throughout the entire region.
The entire East Sea was swept through, the torrential qi flow even sweeping through the Water Domain on the mainland. The regions close to the sea that had originally been experiencing storms suddenly had the wind and the rain swept completely away.
In the air above Jade Sea City on East Dragon Island stood an unyielding Yan Di, sabre in hand.
The eyes of that Great Flame Devil King were bloodshot as it glared at Yan Di. Just one horn remained on its head, sparks shooting out non-stop from where the other had been broken off.
Its other claw clutching where its horn had been broken off, its gaze that was on Yan Di was filled with killing intent.
Yan Di raised his sabre before his chest, looking at its rather dimmed sabre-light from which a mournful cry vaguely seemed to resound.
He did not appear dismal as he just said softly, “Old friend, it’s been hard on you.”
The human experts and the Flame Devil Kings down below had earlier slowed in their actions, all focused on watching that heaven-shocking, earth-shaking clash.
Old Man Mo sighed emotionally as he murmured, “His strength at the first level of the Martial Saint realm surpasses Heaven Shaker Zhan. In terms of the martial dao, he has also leapt out of the circle drawn up by him.”
“The same martial art, when cultivated by different people, exhibits differences in strength. Yan Di’s Immeasurable Heavenly Sabre is stronger than the Immeasurable Heavenly Sabre as executed by Yuan Zhengfeng.”
“However, at the end of the day, the Immeasurable Heavenly Sabre still belongs to Heaven Shaker Zhan. It was instead those two sabres just now which belonged to Yan Di himself.”
“The difference in strength between sabre arts aside, the latter two sabre-blows by Yan Di definitely surpass him executing the Immeasurable Heavenly Sabre!”
An Qinglin sighed softly, “Other than the Heavenly Broad Creed Palm, the Immeasurable Heavenly Sabre and the Limitless Heavenly Sword, Broad Creed Mountain’s fourth supreme martial art has now been born.”
Song Wuliang was silent for a while before he sighed, “In terms of fierceness and how domineering it was, the sabre art that he executed just now can definitely be said to be the number one in the entire history of the Eight Extremities World in post-Great Calamity times!”
“However, only just having entered the Martial Saint realm, I’m afraid that Yan Di still might not be able to defeat that Great Flame Devil King.”
Song Wuliang appeared rather worried, “His sabre arts are too fierce and violent, such that even the Great Flame Devil King was injured by it as soon as it attacked. Still, if the battle becomes protracted, I fear that things might become disadvantageous for Yan Di.”
Old Man Mo suddenly smiled, “Irregardless of everything else, just based on those two sabre-blows alone, he is the current strongest person of our Eight Extremities World.”
As soon as these words were out, all the human martial practitioners here fell silent.
Huang Guanglie had not said a single word amidst all this as his gaze had been fixated on Yan Di within the sky, not even leaving him for a second.
Yan Di stood straight upright as he pointed his sabre at the Great Flame Devil King before him.
His expression calm, he asked, “Can all of you still go on?”
Song Wuliang shook his head, “Even if the answer is no, we must still go on.”
After a temporary pause, Jing Zhong and the other Flame Devil Kings regained their wits as well, numerous devils causing chaos within the sky as blazing fire incinerated the heavens.
Yan Di said quietly, “Then, we battle.”
History's Strongest Senior Brother Chapter 475: Breaking their spines again!
HSSB475: Breaking their spines again!
Song Wuliang was worried that only just having stepped into the Martial Saint realm, Yan Di might not possess sufficient stamina to engage in protracted battle.
However, for now at least, Yan Di’s sabre rampaged as it presided over all living lifeforms.
Even that enraged Great Flame Devil King whose fury surged to the heavens was suppressed by him, unable to properly lift its head for a time.
Meanwhile, Huang Guanglie, Old Man Mo, Song Wuliang and the others had been wounded by the Great Flame Devil King, also having lost the protection of the Jade Sea Limitless Grand Formation.
Having originally already been at a numerical disadvantage, faced with the ferocious attacks of the host of Flame Devil Kings now, the experts of the human race were placed in an even more disadvantageous situation.
Even while Yan Di was currently battling the Great Flame Devil King, Song Wuliang and the others did not have it easy.
Old Man Mo said in a heavy tone, “The crisis is still far from resolved. Everyone knows that there is a special reason that Gr
eat Flame Devil Kings are Great Flame Devil Kings.”
Hearing his words, Huang Guanglie and the other human experts all frowned.
Just the situation before them alone was already hard to withstand.
However, this didn’t mean that they had forgotten about the other dangers.
During the first invasion of the Flame Devils that year, the Eight Extremities World had seen the coming of the first Great Devil King.
Its strength was generally on par with a human expert at the third level of the Martial Saint realm.
However, the reason this Great Flame Devil King was specifically different from the other Flame Devil Kings was that it could draw upon the boundless blazing flames of the Flame Devil World, infusing it into the Eight Extremities World through the dimensional passageway, encroaching upon and assimilating the heavens and earth of this world!
Back then, infinite blazing fire devoured the heavens and the earth, the Outer East Sea vanishing, the rock formations at the bottom of the sea vanishing, the sky also vanishing.
All of these had transformed into flames, seemingly having become the same as that beneath the skies of the Flame Devil World.
The spiritual qi flow and earth vein circulation of the Eight Extremities World in the region of the Outer East Sea had virtually collapsed completely.
Led by that Great Flame Devil King, the Flame Devil World had seemed to possess a life of its own as the entrance of the dimensional passageway had transformed into the gigantic mouth of a strange, unknown beast, wanting to devour the Eight Extremities World.
Finally, led by the Exalted Heaven Shaker Zhan Dongge, the experts of the human race had exerted tremendous effort in finally repelling the Flame Devils into retreat, also sealing the abnormalities that had arisen due to the Flame Devil World.
Even so, it had been many years before the region of the East Sea had recovered, just that not long ago, it had once again been destroyed by the boiling of the surrounding waters due to the changes in the Fire Pith Veins here.
However, the previous boiling of the East Sea truly could not be mentioned in the same breath as the disaster brought about by the Flame Devil World that year.
From a certain perspective, that had truly been the invasion of one world into another.
It was also precisely due to repelling the encroachment of the Flame Devil World that the Exalted Heaven Shaker Zhan Dongge had overexerted himself and perished heroically at a young age, with many other experts of the Eight Extremities World having lost their lives in the process as well.
Old Man Mo who had personally experienced that era said in a low tone, “This Flame Devil King before us seems to only just have achieved its breakthrough, not being comparable to the one from back then. Still, it probably also possesses the power to draw upon the fire of the Flame Devil World to assault our world.”
“Amidst the fiery environment of the Flame Devil World, the strength of the Flame Devils will skyrocket!”
The old man’s expression was solemn, his gaze drifting somewhat as his mind seemed to have returned to back then.
That had been the most tragic battle Old Man Mo had ever experienced. It had truly been like the heavens had collapsed and the earth had split upon, resembling the Armageddon at the end of the world.
Numerous scenes that were buried deep within his memories yet he would never be able to forget flashed once more before his eyes.
In that great battle that decided the fate of the Eight Extremities World, that man from Broad Creed Mountain who presided high over this world stood one against five in the East Sea that had already turned into a world of blazing flames, mightily slaying the Great Flame Devil King which resembled a devilish divinity whilst also killing or heavily injuring the other four second step Flame Devil Kings.
That sabre-light which was majestic as the heavens forcibly split apart the world of flames, forcing the boundless devilish fire back into retreat, back into the dimensional passageway.
“Presiding over all living lifeforms at the second level of the Martial Saint realm-Heaven Shaker Zhan, you are indeed deserving of the title of the number one person in post-Great Calamity times,” Old Man Mo sighed, “Purple Sun Zhang was far inferior to you even having stepped into the third level of the Martial Saint realm. If you had reached that same level as well, what dominance would you have achieved?”
“If you had not heroically died young, where then would the future have led you?”
Old Man Mo gazed at Yan Di, “Now, your descendant appears like he may be able to surpass even you. Yet, he has only just stepped into the Martial Saint realm.”
“If this young man had stepped into the second level of the Martial Saint realm like you, he would probably be even more powerful than you. Sadly, the heavens did not give him sufficient time, did not give us sufficient time, did not give our Eight Extremities World sufficient time!”
An Qinglin said through clenched teeth, “Hold them back here; do not give them the chance to retreat to the entrance of the dimensional passageway.”
While it was already an extremely difficult situation which they had only barely managed to tide through, if they could hold on till Yuan Zhengfeng and Shen Li finished handling matters in the Earth Domain and rushed over to reinforce them, they would still be able to end this matter well.
If they allowed the Flame Devil World to unceasingly encroach, devouring and assimilating the Eight Extremities World, no one would have the ability to remedy the situation in the end.
Song Wuliang snorted, “The Flame Devils are violent and easily angered. As long as we constantly provoke them, they will not know what the word retreat means.”
Old Man Mo sighed, shaking his head, “As long as the Great Flame Devil King has entered the Eight Extremities World, the encroachment of the Flame Devil World would already have begun. With it not waiting at the entrance of the dimensional passageway, the infiltration rate by the Flame Devil World would only be slower at most. Having returned to the entrance to preside over matters, it would instead be even faster.”
“The Outer East Sea has probably already fallen to fire.”
Hearing his words, everyone’s hearts sank.
Huang Guanglie struck the Flame Devil King Jing Zhong into retreat with his palm, scanning the entire area as he remained silent.
“There’s a way.”
An unrestrained voice that was sharp and imposing like a sabre resounded.
Everyone was taken greatly aback. This voice clearly belonged to Yan Di, currently in the midst of heated battle with that Great Flame Devil King!
Everyone was unable to recover for a time, “Could it be that you can instantly break through into the second level of the Martial Saint realm?”
Striking out with his sabre as he clashed once more with the Great Flame Devil King, Yan Di simultaneously flicked out with the fingers of his left hand.
Three streaks of light shot respectively towards Old Man Mo, Huang Guanglie and Song Wuliang.
The three received the streaks of light, pondering slightly for a moment before a brilliant light shot out of their eyes in succession.
Yan Di said, “Before external enemies, with the entire Eight Extremities World in common mortal danger, we are all in the same boat.”
“This Yan asked just now whether you can still go on? Since you can, let us battle.”
Saying thus, streams of radiance first appeared above Yan Di’s own head, shooting straight into the horizon before manifesting in the form of countless spirit patterns, coming together to form a massive spirit formation.
Huang Guanglie and the other two exchanged glances before slowly nodding.
The three circulated their profound arts together, spiritual light shooting into the skies from above their heads, manifesting into spirit patterns which formed spirit formations that were composed differently yet were closely connected.
Yan Di waved his hands, streaks of light flying out once more. These were numerous weapons that flickered
with spiritual light, emanating an unusual aura.
These weapons hovered within the air, forming a formation array which enveloped Yan Di, Old Man Mo, Huang Guanglie and Song Wuliang.
The individual spirit formations above the heads of the four rose, instantly expanding and coming together within the air to form a massive spirit formation.
The numerous formation-supporting weapons forged of Grand Spirit Stone Essence merged within it.
Instantly, an authoritative might that shook the heavens and the earth surged into existence!
With the Great Flame Devil King at their head, the Flame Devil experts all immediately felt fear surge within their hearts!
Yan Di’s voice resounded between the heavens and the earth, “This formation was unearthed from pre-Great Calamity legacies by my son, Zhaoge. Its power is peerless and beyond compare.”
“We lack the time to practice it. Having been hastily established, we will likely be unable to draw on its full power. Still, it will be sufficient for battling the Flame Devils.”
“They have poor memories. Since that is so, today, we will break their spines again!”
History's Strongest Senior Brother Chapter 476: Yan Zhaoge’s Taiyi Imperial Breaking Formation!
HSSB476: Yan Zhaoge’s Taiyi Imperial Breaking Formation!
Four circular spirit formations arose around Yan Di, Old Man Mo, Huang Guanglie and Song Wuliang, hovering amidst the horizon.
The four circular spirit formations each composed a corner as they came together to from a squarish spirit formation array.
Numerous formation-supporting artifacts forged of Grand Spirit Stone Essence hovered within the grand formation, acting as nodes as they connected countless spirit patterns.
White spiritual light shot into the skies, instantly dispersing the surrounding blazing fire as the surrounding heaven and earth was completely enveloped by white radiance.
Innumerable profound runes hovered amidst the dense white sky, inscribed within space.
As they lit up, the heavens and the earth shook.
