As the two small scale black holes met, the surrounding space instantly distorted even more greatly, the border regions even vaguely feeling like they would be ripped apart.
The black hole at the centre of the Taiyi Imperial Breaking Formation emanated a sweltering, blazing hot aura of destruction. As if putting up a final struggle, that terrifying roar resounded once more.
However, numerous streaks of white light descended, sealing it again.
The Northern Ocean Clone tapped out with his spear, both black holes simultaneously dissipating.
That tiny black dot within the Taiyi Imperial Breaking Formation had completely disappeared, with only a single sigil remaining. The sigil sunk into the depths of the ocean, emanating a faint radiance as it was condensed within the depths of the sea.
The Northern Ocean Clone kept his spear and stood at the ready, his left palm descending as the depths of the sea surged with hidden undercurrents. The tides congregated, gradually coming to form a barrier as the sigil was once again hidden within.
Now, in the Taiyi Imperial Breaking Formation up above, the flickering white light gradually deteriorated as the formation gradually fell apart.
The four figures were gradually revealed after the dispersion of the white light.
Yan Di, Old Man Mo and Song Wuliang all became visible. Huang Guanglie was no exception.
Previously, Huang Guanglie had been forcibly restricted within the Taiyi Imperial Breaking Formation. Now that the power of the formation had dissipated, he was not feeling happy.
While they had been trapped within the formation, the four of them had generally been aware of the passing of time outside. Huang Guanglie could feel that there was still a long time from the expected date of three years.
Broad Creed Mountain unquestionably hoped most for the premature release of the Seal of the East Sea as Yan Di returned to their side.
Meanwhile, before the Sacred Sun Clan had come up with a method to resolve things with, they would definitely hope for the current situation on the East Sea to be maintained as much as possible.
First not mentioning Old Man Mo who did not participate in internal conflicts of the human race, of the remaining three, there was only a single Huang Guanglie while Yan Di and Song Wuliang had both been trapped here as well.
The three of them remaining here, the global situation would definitely be more beneficial towards the Sacred Sun Clan and the Heavenly Thunder Hall.
“Unless…they have guided the Radiant Light Sect of the World beyond Worlds into descending within the Eight Extremities World?” If it was the Sacred Sun Clan who had done this, this was the sole possibility that Huang Guanglie could conceive of.
Huang Guanglie felt greatly conflicted at this possibility.
He did not hope for that possibility, but the pressure that Yan Di and Broad Creed Mountain truly exerted on him could only render him silent.
Yet, as the Taiyi Imperial Breaking Formation slowly broke apart, the one who appeared before Huang Guanglie was not someone of the Sacred Sun Clan but a youth who had left a very deep impression on him.
Broad Creed Mountain’s Yan Zhaoge.
Seeing Yan Zhaoge, Huang Guanglie’s heart instantly sunk.
Meanwhile, Yan Di instead smiled as he looked at Yan Zhaoge.
Yan Zhaoge similarly smiled, “You have waited for a long time. Fortunately, it was not too late.”
Yan Di did not speak, a diamond-shaped white symbol appearing on his forehead which was currently circulating unceasingly.
As the leader of this formation, after the Taiyi Imperial Breaking Formation broke apart, he was still carefully analysing the concept within as well as the spiritual qi changes of the surrounding heavens and earth.
Seeing this, Old Man Mo slowly nodded, “What high comprehension. Gains derived from all myriad forms. As only befitting of a heaven-defying genius.”
A look of admiration surfaced slightly within Song Wuliang’s gaze as well.
Watching this scene from the side, Huang Guanglie felt comparatively awkward.
He was silent for a moment before his figure flashed, wanting to first leave the area before anything else. However, a streak of light swayed before his eyes as Yan Zhaoge’s Northern Ocean Clone had already blocked his path.
Huang Guanglie had already noticed the presence of the Northern Ocean Clone earlier. As the latter blocked his path now, Huang Guanglie’s originally gloomy face turned as dark as a pot’s bottom.
Looking at Huang Guanglie, Yan Zhaoge said calmly, “Where is the East Coming Martial Saint in a rush to go to? If it is the World Illuminating Peak, there is really no need to, because that is already just a pile of ruins and debris.”
Huang Guanglie’s gaze turned cold, “That’s impossible.”
Golden light flickered about the old man’s entire body, resembling the rising of the great sun as the surrounding area was illuminated completely white.
He glanced coldly at Yan Zhaoge, his gaze finally landing on the Northern Ocean Clone, “Who are you?”
The Northern Ocean Clone smiled slightly, “There is nothing that is impossible.”
Noting the Northern Ocean Clone’s expression and manner of speech before carefully appraising him together with Yan Zhaoge, Huang Guanglie was stunned where he was even despite his many years of experience out in the world, “This is…your clone?! You actually refined a clone that is at the second level of the Martial Saint realm?”
Old Man Mo and Song Wuliang were rendered wide-eyed and tongue-tied upon hearing this as well.
Even Yan Di felt taken aback by this, appraising Yan Zhaoge and the Northern Ocean Clone for a moment before a look of approval appeared on his face.
Huang Guanglie calmed himself, looking at the Northern Ocean Clone and the Fish Dragon Spear in his hands before saying in a heavy tone, “Even so, while this old man would believe it if you said you had destroyed the Heavenly Thunder Hall, it is definitely impossible for you to have destroyed my World Illuminating Peak.”
Yan Zhaoge shrugged, “Are you thinking that even if your Sacred Sun Clan cannot block me, they would still be able to guide those of the Radiant Light Sect down from the World beyond Worlds?”
Huang Guanglie’s pupils dilated abruptly as his heart shot straight down to the very bottom.
When their two sides had clashed at the East Sea a year ago, Yan Zhaoge and the others had already known his clan’s connection with the World beyond Worlds. Yet, Yan Zhaoge having been able to state the identity of the Radiant Light Sect now, Huang Guanglie’s heart instead fell greatly.
Despite having met with the Radiant Light Sect, it was instead Yan Zhaoge who was standing here now. Then, didn’t that mean that…
But how was that possible?!
Huang Guanglie’s gaze was somewhat dazed, shocking tidal waves surging within his heart as he felt suffocated, seeing stars before his eyes that left him reeling.

HSSB599: It was me who killed them
Looking at Huang Guanglie, unconcealed killing intent was revealed in Yan Zhaoge’s usually calm gaze, “Huang Guanglie, one year ago, I said right here that things weren’t settled yet. When I was free, I would properly deal with your Sacred Sun Clan.”
If not for Yan Di and Yan Zhaoge having long since been prepared, when the Seal of the East Sea had just been established back then, they would have been nastily entrapped by the Sacred Sun Clan.
On one hand, they had stabbed a knife in their back by attacking Feng Yunsheng and Fu Enshu, also having attacked Infinite Boundless Mountain’s Grand Elder in an attempt to obtain the Heaven Cleaving Axe.
On the other, Huang Guanglie had borrowed the ‘Blood Guidance Heavenly Light Golden Lamp’ secret technique to draw down power from the World beyond Worlds, nearly having extricated himself from the Seal of the East Sea, leaving only a shell behind.
If he had succeeded, the result would have been disastro
us beyond compare for Broad Creed Mountain.
Yan Di, Old Man Mo and Song Wuliang would still have been trapped within the Seal of the East Sea, while Huang Guanglie would have broken free. Under such circumstances, even without the descent of the Radiant Light Sect experts, the Sacred Sun Clan would already possess the strength to sweep through the entire Eight Extremities World.
“Now that the Sacred Sun Clan is no more, it’s your turn,” Yan Zhaoge said slowly, “Huang Xu and Huang Jie are already dead. It was me who killed them. Now, it’s your turn.”
Huang Guanglie could only feel his temples suddenly throbbing.
He raised his fist, punching outwards towards Yan Zhaoge. The blazing sun was hot and fiery to the extreme as all between the heavens and the earth were instantly enveloped by the golden sunlight.
However, the Northern Ocean Clone arrived between Yan Zhaoge and Huang Guanglie, easily brandishing the Fish Dragon Spear and sealing Huang Guanglie’s fist.
Huang Guanglie calmed, but just looking at the Northern Ocean Clone before him, helplessness surged within his heart.
He had wanted to retreat earlier, but the Northern Ocean Clone had followed and directly obstructed his path, causing him to learn that the person before him was not simply just a little faster than him.
Now, as the Northern Ocean Clone displayed his techniques, Huang Guanglie could be completely sure that there was virtually no chance at all of him being able to deal with Yan Zhaoge himself.
While generally speaking, when two experts were clashing and one side was focused on protecting someone else, the other party would possess the initiative and the advantage, the Northern Ocean Clone was so fast that such usual principles also became meaningless.
Powerful experts would not have weak movement techniques. The Sacred Sun Clan also possessed the peak leaping technique, the Leap of the Rising Sun.
Executed by Huang Guanglie, it truly resembled the great sun moving across the sky, streaking through the air.
Yet, his opponent was Yan Zhaoge’s Northern Ocean Clone.
At the same cultivation level, the Lord of the Heavenly Thunder Hall, Shen Li, who was renowned for his speed, had not been the Northern Ocean Clone’s match at all.
Thus, tragedy befell Huang Guanglie.
Facing such an enemy, there was only battling it out to the final victory. There was simply no way of extricating oneself and retreating otherwise.
However, just having exchanged a single move, Huang Guanglie’s heart sunk down to the very bottom.
Not only was the Northern Ocean Clone fast, its power was also vast and vigorous, being even more shocking such that it left Huang Guanglie with the toughness of his fists secretly also feeling shocked.
Moreover, as compared to the unarmed Huang Guanglie, the Northern Ocean Clone still had the Sacred Sun Clan, the Fish Dragon Spear, on hand.
Now, Huang Guanglie was placed in a situation where he couldn’t run, yet also couldn’t win!
The current Northern Ocean Clone would be sufficient to defeat everyone aside from Yan Di present now.
Even while Huang Guanglie was usually tough and forceful, looking first at Yan Di and then at Yan Zhaoge now, he still felt rather short of breath.
Back then, he had successfully left secluded cultivation following a period of a few years, having ascended to the second level of the Martial Saint realm. How incomparably glorious and supreme he had been back then, with the Sacred Artifact, the Great Sun Heaven Measuring Ruler in hand. He had been the strongest expert of the Eight Extremities World, virtually able to sweep through all under the heavens.
Who knew that just having left seclusion, Huang Guanglie would have smashed his head on the rocks of Broad Creed Mountain. Yuan Zhengfeng similarly having Transcended Mortality and entered Sainthood aside, Huang Guanglie himself had lost the Great Sun Heaven Measuring Ruler.
The situation had instantly taken a turn for the worse from the light of victory that had just seemed right before their eyes.
Yet afterwards, just around two years later, an expert of a junior generation, Yuan Zhengfeng’s disciple Yan Di, had successfully stepped into the Martial Saint realm as well.
Just having entered the Martial Saint realm, Yan Di had actually presided over Huang Guanglie himself, causing him to feel as though the entire heavens and earth had changed as he was taken greatly helpless.
He and the Sacred Sun Clan had virtually had no time to react at all as they were instantly pushed to the edge of a cliff.
From the great battle with the Flame Devils and the Nine Underworlds, the Sacred Sun Clan had managed to obtain time as well as a sliver of a chance for victory.
Yet, when Huang Guanglie had extricated himself from the seal, it had been another powerful figure who was even younger than Yan Di who had been waiting for him, namely Yan Zhaoge.
Looking at Yan Zhaoge’s Northern Ocean Clone and the Sacred Artifact, the Fish Dragon Spear that he was holding, Huang Guanglie inhaled deeply, intercrossing his fists as he concentrated a great amount of power within, all light between the heavens and the earth seemingly converging within the furnace of the human realm as the world had turned completely golden and bright.
He forcibly stabilised his mind.
Yan Zhaoge’s knowledge of the Radiant Light Sect could be attributed to the news having leaked from his Sacred Sun Clan. Or perhaps he could have heard of them from another source, just as Broad Creed Mountain had also known about the existence of the World beyond Worlds.
Perhaps the situation was not as bad as it looked. The youth before him was likely bluffing. After all, with the current capabilities of Yan Zhaoge and Broad Creed Mountain, it should be impossible for them to deal with the descended experts of the Radiant Light Sect.
Let alone Yan Di having been trapped within the Seal of the East Sea all along, even if Yan Di had been together with Yan Zhaoge, as long as two third level Martial Saints had descended from the Radiant Light Sect, it would already have been hard for Broad Creed Mountain to obtain victory.
Huang Guanglie could only console himself like this.
Whilst calmly watching Huang Guanglie clashing with his Northern Ocean Clone, Yan Zhaoge said, “Deng Sen, Radiant Light Sect Elder, fourth level of the Martial Saint realm.”
“Sun Hao, Radiant Light Sect Elder, third level of the Martial Saint realm.”
“Liu Feng, Radiant Light Sect guest Elder, third level of the Martial Saint realm.”
“Yang Zhanhua, Radiant Light Sect Elder, second level of the Martial Saint realm.”
“Jin Jie, Radiant Light Sect guest Elder, second level of the Martial Saint realm.”
Hearing Yan Zhaoge announce all these names, Huang Guanglie’s heart skipped a beat.
Even he had only heard of Deng Sen’s and Sun Hao’s names before.
Seeing that Yan Zhaoge appeared to be telling the truth, Huang Guanglie’s eyelids twitched, while Yan Zhaoge simply smiled, “These were the people of the Radiant Light Sect who descended from the World beyond Worlds into the Eight Extremities World this time.”
Song Wuliang’s throat turned rather dry as he heard this while Old Man Mo was silent.
Gazing at Huang Guanglie, Yan Zhaoge continued, “They are all already dead. It was me who killed them.”
“The three generations of your Huang Family will not be lonely in death.”
If his earlier words had just caused Song Wuliang’s mood to grow heavy, he appeared rather dazed now as even Old Man Mo stared at Yan Zhaoge with his eyes wide open.
Beneath their shocked gazes, the Northern Ocean Clone pierced through the great sun formed of Huang Guanglie’s fist-intent with a single spear.
Limitless golden light was reduced into flowing fire, descending within the air as it resembled the remnant glow of daylight.
At the same time, splattering crimson blood streaked through the air.
The sharp, tyrannical Fish Dragon Spear pierced into Huang Guanglie’s body.
Huang Guanglie�
�s face was filled with despair.
He emitted a final furious howl, grabbing onto the shaft of the Fish Dragon Spear with one hand as he struck towards the Northern Ocean Clone with the other.
The Northern Ocean Clone’s expression did not change in the least as he parried Huang Guanglie’s attack with one hand. From the other emanated vast, vigorous power as the Fish Dragon Spear shot mightily into Huang Guanglie’s body!
History's Strongest Senior Brother Chapter 600: Old Man Mo’s gift!
HSSB600: Old Man Mo’s gift
A violent force ripped through Huang Guanglie’s body.
Infinite radiance emanated from Huang Guanglie’s body before being extinguished, as if the sun had lost its glow and dimmed forever, also resembling the final ember of the candle finally being extinguished.
It appeared extremely broad and heroic, yet simply inconsequential.
The East Coming Martial Saint Huang Guanglie who had once reigned over the Eight Extremities World for many years, presiding over all living lifeforms, perished over the East Sea this very day.
The one who killed him was someone two generations below who hadn’t even yet turned thirty.
As Jade Sea City’s City Lord Song Wuliang watched this scene, whilst feeling joyful, he also felt rather at a loss.
His Jade Sea City had always been irrevocable enemies with the Sacred Sun Clan. Just a few years ago, their relationship had been even worse than that between Broad Creed Mountain and the Sacred Sun Clan. It had truly been to the point where neither could live with the continued existence of the other.
Having fought for so many years, Jade Sea City had still been losing out overall.
However, Song Wuliang and those of Jade Sea City had all stubbornly persisted. Regardless of the Sacred Sun Clan’s dominance, they had always determinedly fought it out with them to the end.
In the process of doing so, Jade Sea City had also accomplished many grand feats that were highly acclaimed within the Eight Extremities World.
