History's Strongest Senior Brother c1-1474

  Yan Zhaoge smiled, “I thought that your cultivation is like your sabre strikes, sharp and aggressive, unhindered in its path. The more you progress, the fiercer your momentum as your path instead becomes smoother. If you stop to stabilise your foundations, it might instead be detrimental.”

  Yan Di shook his head, “It still isn’t to that point yet. Thus, I need to stop and grind my blade. Still, as your say, after having achieved certain heights, there will be no further halting in my cultivation.”

  Yan Zhaoge retracted his smile, “I know that having left seclusion this time, you were prepared to forge your own Sacred Artifact. Still, you indeed need to temporarily delay it for a time now.”

  Yan Di’s gaze focused, “Oh, something’s up?”

  “That’s right. News from the Fire Domain report that abnormalities have occurred in the space where the World Illuminating Peak used to be. Some time has already passed since then,” Yan Zhaoge said, “If you hadn’t left seclusion when you had, I would soon have had to hurry over alone. Fortunately, you made it out in time.”

  Yan Di pondered, “When those of the Sacred Sun Clan guided the people of the Radiant Light Sect into descending previously, the location was the World Illuminating Peak.”

  Yan Zhaoge nodded, “That’s right. While the Sacred Sun Clan has been exterminated and the World Illuminating Peak destroyed as well, there are still methods for them to locate our Eight Extremities World once more.”

  “Due to the Sacred Sun Clan previously, the coordinates of their descent into the Eight Extremities World would most likely still be in the region of the World Illuminating Peak.”

  Yan Zhaoge said, “Let’s go wait for them there then.”

  The father and son immediately left Broad Creed Mountain, heading south towards the Fire Domain.

  When Yan Zhaoge and Yan Di arrived, the Broad Creed Mountain martial practitioners who had remained there to stand watch over the area immediately retreated.

  The World Illuminating Peak which had once been permanently illuminated by radiance, where night had been no different from day, had already long since been levelled by Yan Zhaoge’s Northern Ocean Clone into flat land, no longer being in existence.

  Yan Zhaoge and Yan Di both descended onto the ground, getting seated in the meditative position.

  Looking at the sky up above, the space there was visibly shaking non-stop, the boundaries of space growing indistinct.

  Let alone martial practitioners, even ordinary people would be able to tell that it was abnormal.

  Yan Zhaoge and Yan Di sat there calmly in the meditative position, their hearts still as water as no ripples stirred within at all.

  As father and son sat there, streams of clear qi surged and coiled in their surroundings, dispersing and congregating, congregating and dispersing, being ordered and methodical in their circulation.

  Yan Zhaoge and Yan Di thus cultivated at the former site of the World Illuminating Peak just like that.

  Time passed, yet some days having gone by. The shaking of the sky above was becoming more and more evident.

  Five days later around noon, when the sunlight in the sky was the most blazingly intense, Yan Di who had had his eyes closed in meditation now opened his eyes.

  Similarly detecting something, Yan Zhaoge opened his eyes and gazed at the sky up above. He saw the sunlight suddenly becoming unprecedentedly dazzling.

  At this moment, the horizon seemed to open as light spilled out from within, combining with the sunlight as it was piercing to the point that one would virtually be unable to keep their eyes open.

  A vast, majestic force emanated from within that opened gap.

  In virtually just an instant, the space of the Eight Extremities World began to shake. Gales howled and clouds surged as accompanied by that intense radiance, a few figures appeared above the sky.

  Infinite radiance expanded outwards in all directions. Not just the heavens and earth around the World Illuminating Peak but even the entire Fire Domain seemed to be bathed in its glow at this moment.

  The bright light even seemed to penetrate out of the territory of the Fire Domain, illuminating the broad world of the surroundings.

  “They’re here,” Yan Zhaoge and Yan Di simultaneously stood up.

  At this moment, the great earth where they were was still intact. Instead, yet further in the distance, the soil was shockingly breaking unceasingly apart as one long gully after another extended on the great earth, resembling numerous massive gorges.

  The other side had clearly noticed Yan Zhaoge and Yan Di as a voice resounded from above the sky, vast and majestic, “Broad Creed Mountain, Yan Zhaoge?”

  While it was a question, the speaker’s tone was very certain.

  “I am Yan Zhaoge. How do I address you?” Yan Zhaoge was not taken aback by this.

  While the five experts of the Radiant Light Sect who had descended previously had all been slain, with the Sacred Sun Clan having been exterminated as well, Meng Wan and Tang Yonghao who were acquainted with him had been brought to the World beyond Worlds. The other side would easily have been able to learn his appearance through them.

  That majestic voice slowly said, “This old man is Zhang Chao.”

  The Purple Sun Martial Saint, Zhang Chao.

  This name had once been as common as thunder to the ear in the Eight Extremities World.

  The past Chief of the Sacred Sun Clan and also its strongest ever expert. Earlier, he had successfully taken that final step and attained the fourth level of the Martial Saint realm, ascending into the World beyond Worlds.

  Yan Zhaoge could feel a gaze seemingly sweeping past his body. Beneath its pressure, the qi and blood as well as true essence of his body seemed about to surge and blaze all together at once.

  That gaze now swept past Yan Zhaoge and fell on Yan Di, “Broad Creed Mountain, Yan Di?”

  Yan Di said mildly, “I have long heard of your esteemed name, Purple Sun Zhang.”

  Zhang Chao’s voice resounded once more, “You being here means that Guanglie must have met with harm.”

  Yan Zhaoge said, “Huang Guanglie, Huang Xu and Huang Jie have already been slain by me, all three generations all dead together.”

  The voice up above paused for a moment before resounding once more, “Since that is so, you will go down to accompany them.”

  The limitless radiance grew even brighter, one of the figures within now moving.

  Then, Yan Zhaoge felt as if an additional sun had appeared within the sky, also shooting straight downwards towards him!

  The entire heavens and earth seemed to blaze together, about to be vaporised by the sunlight that contained infinite heat and light.

  However, Yan Zhaoge stood expressionlessly where he was, calm as he moved not a single inch.

  As the great sun descended, a tyrannical, unmatchable fearsome sabre-light shot into the sky, directly extinguishing that descending sun!

  Yan Zhaoge laughed soundlessly.

  His father having ascended into the second level of the Martial Saint realm, it was not the same as other second level Martial Saints at all.

  Amongst martial practitioners of the same cultivation level, his Northern Ocean Clone was already the cream of the crop, seldom meeting someone who could match him.

  Yet, the Northern Ocean Clone who wielded two great Sacred Artifacts, the Imperious Cold Martial Armour and the Fish Dragon Spear at the second level of the Martial Saint realm, would only have been able to try for a draw when facing off against Yan Di at the first level of the Martial Saint realm.

  Yan Di having stepped into the second level of the Martial Saint realm now, even if Deng Sen and the others revived and joined hands, they would probably still not be able to stand against him.

  The current Yan Di was truly invincible amidst the Eight Extremities World. Even if people from the World beyond Worlds descended, with their cultivation base being suppressed beneath the fourth level of the Martial Saint realm, they too would be hard pressed to
stand against Yan Di’s terrifying sabre.

  Wanting to deal with Yan Di, they would require numerous experts at the third level of the Martial Saint realm ganging up on him, and there could not be few of them as well.

  Yan Zhaoge had sufficient grounds to suspect that with the power that the Extreme Yang Seal was currently able to unleash due to the restrictions by the power of dimensions here, even one of its powerful strikes might not assuredly be able to slay Yan Di.

  Zhang Chao had thought that he would be coming for some glorious revenge this time. In the end, his sole fate would be getting wrecked and soaked in blood.

  HSSB607: Chaotic devils beneath sun and moon, My sabre shall hence break

  Speaking fairly, being the sole martial practitioner of the Eight Extremities World in history to have surpassed the third level of the Martial Saint realm and ascended into the World beyond Worlds, Zhang Chao naturally possessed extraordinary strength.

  Be it talent or strength, he would definitely be considered one of the peak experts in the entire history of the Eight Extremities World.

  Yet, the people he had met now could truly not be judged by normal standards and logic at all.

  The current Zhang Chao having descended into the Eight Extremities World, his cultivation base would be restricted to the peak of the third level of the Martial Saint realm by the power of dimensions.

  However, his opponent was someone he would be unable to easily win against even if he were in his peak condition at the fourth level of the Martial Saint realm.

  Yan Di’s expression was calm, his hands empty.

  He was already unable to wield high-grade spirit artifacts now, because they were completely unable to bear that sharp, tyrannical sabre-intent of his at all.

  The sabre-light extinguished the descending sun within the sky, a muffled groan resounding.

  A figure no longer descended, instead rising upwards once more.

  Yan Di’s figure rose as well.

  The few remaining figures amidst the infinite radiance above the sky descended together as well.

  At this moment, the dimensional boundaries of the entire Eight Extremities World seemed to be shaking all at once.

  At the same time, many peak experts descended into this world, the impact instantly brought about by this seemingly about to cause the entire Eight Extremities World to implode.

  There were five other figures apart from Zhang Chao.

  That vast power shocked the heavens and shook the earth. Shockingly, every single one of these experts was at the third level of the Martial Saint realm.

  The leading two, like Zhang Chao, caused the heavens and earth to shake along with their mere movements, their cultivation bases clearly having been suppressed by the power of dimensions.

  Terrifying power congregated as even merely breathing seemed to disrupt the normal spiritual qi flow of the entire Eight Extremities World.

  These two people raised their hands together, the sun and the moon flashing interchangeably in one of their palms, light illuminating the heavens and the earth.

  It was precisely the Sun Moon Interchanging Art of the Radiant Light Sect along with the supreme martial art, the Sun Moon Divine Palm. The sun and moon were grasped within that palm, yin and yang interchanging along with infinite brightness.

  Meanwhile, the other party’s palm contained multiple surging layers of black qi which were evil and strange as they distorted terrifyingly.

  The black fog that resembled thick ink surged amidst the incomparable brightness, the radiance actually unable to penetrate through it.

  Within the thick fog, there seemed to be countless devils roaring together, causing the minds of others to waver as it was hard to withstand.

  Yan Di shot over towards them, completely fearless as he struck up with his sabre, phenomena appearing in the tens of thousands as he cleaved through the heavens and split the earth apart.

  Who cares about the overhead sun and moon or the dance of the chaotic devils. All of them, my sabre shall hence break!

  Where the sabre-light passed, the great sun sunk, the bright moon dimmed, the devilish qi being swept completely away as the numerous devils met their end.

  As those two people stumbled backwards in retreat, Zhang Chao and another two people continued onwards. While Zhang Chao had no Sacred Artifact, from the bodies of the other two third level Martial Saints of the Radiant Light Sect surged the radiance and great power of Sacred Artifacts, light surging to the heavens in an instant which shook the entire universe.

  Yan Di’s expression did not change in the least. The Clear Qi Robe appeared on his body. Bolstered by it, his aura similarly skyrocketed, beating his opponents back into continuous retreat.

  The final of the six opponents did not combine forces to attack Yan Di along with the rest. Instead, he turned and shot over towards Yan Zhaoge.

  He transformed completely into a streak of light, instantly traversing the horizon as he seemed to ignore the existence of time, ignore the distance of space.

  This was the final direct lineage of the Radiant Light Sect apart from the Sun Moon Interchanging Art and the Radiant Light Illuminating Art, the Thousand Illusory Streaking Light Art.

  Yan Zhaoge felt as though he was virtually unable to catch a glimpse of his opponent’s figure at all.

  Even having reached the third level of the Martial Saint realm, the Northern Ocean Clone would not be able to surpass such a speed.

  Yet, Yan Di was not flustered in the least as he directly struck out with another sabre, the sharp, tyrannical sabre-intent seemingly birthing abnormal changes at this moment.

  Everything in the surrounding space around him seemed to slow down, seemingly converging towards stillness.

  Meanwhile, his own sabre-light appeared even swifter.

  The figure of the Radiant Light Sect expert who was trying to attack Yan Zhaoge incomprehensibly slowed. At this point in time, Yan Di’s sabre-light had appeared before him in just an instant.

  As their strikes collided in mid-air, that Radiant Light Sect expert groaned tragically as fresh blood scattered directly on the great earth down below.

  After sending this opponent into retreat, Yan Di did not cease in his movements. His sabre strikes were like shocking waves and tides, being tough and violent yet flowing in an endless stream. A few more strikes were immediately unleashed, sending yet more opponents of his into retreat.

  Apart from Zhang Chao, the other Radiant Light Sect experts all possessed one low-grade Sacred Artifact each, their power breaking space itself apart as they had already destroyed the surrounding heavens and earth about the World Illuminating Peak to an incomparably terrible extent.

  The Eight Extremities World seemed like it might be ripped apart from the inside at this place.

  Yet, Yan Di was ever undaunted as he fought fast against slow, fighting one against six for a time as he actually managed to retain the initiative in this fight, preventing the Radiant Light Sect experts from moving a single step past him.

  Yan Zhaoge looked calmly at the people within the sky. Now, he slowly raised his right hand, clenching it into a fist.

  Accompanied by this clenching motion of Yan Zhaoge’s, brilliant sunlight shot into the heavens, a great golden seal taking form amidst the sunlight with a majestic, domineering power that these heavens and earth seemed almost unable to tolerate.

  The lofty, majestic power was such that no one present would be able to ignore it at all.

  High-grade Sacred Artifact, Extreme Yang Seal!

  Seeing the Extreme Yang Seal, the faces of Zhang Chao and the others were all sunken as water as they soundlessly sighed.

  While they knew the might and fearsomeness of the Extreme Yang Seal, in having dared to descend into the Eight Extremities World, the Radiant Light Sect experts would already have taken it into account and had a certain degree of confiden
ce somewhat.

  It was just that they not thought that the situation might actually turn out like this.

  Yan Di’s unimaginable might had truly taken them by surprise, leaving them unable to easily adapt.

  While they knew that Yan Di’s strength was far from ordinary, they also knew that not even two years had passed since Yan Di had Transcended Mortality and entered Sainthood.

  Within such a short amount of time, Yan Di had actually been able to advance yet further, stepping into the second level of the Martial Saint realm. This truly surpassed all their expectations.

  Meanwhile, Yan Di who had stepped into the second level of the Martial Saint realm was truly incomparably powerful such that even they of the Radiant Light Sect who hailed from the World beyond Worlds were utterly shocked by it.

  The Purple Sun Martial Saint, Zhang Chao, felt his heart tighten. Even the Exalted Heaven Shaker Zhan Dongge whom he had fled from upon the mere inkling of that year had not been as terrifying as Yan Di was at the same cultivation level!

  While he, Zhang Chao, had successfully ascended, the current Yan Di was truly the number one expert of the Eight Extremities World in its entire history.

  Under such circumstances, having additionally encountered the Sacred Artifact, the Extreme Yang Seal, Zhang Chao and the others completely lost all means of coping with it.

  Retreating was their sole choice. Otherwise, they would only follow the fates of Deng Sen’s group, meeting their end in the Eight Extremities World for good.

  The three whose actual cultivation bases surpassed the third level of the Martial Saint realm, Zhang Chao included, had their power simultaneously surge. Yet, it was restricted by the power of dimensions, gradually vanishing within the heavens and earth of the Eight Extremities World.

  As for the remaining three people, they shot towards the radiance in the sky that had still yet to completely disperse. That was the remnants of the wounds of the sky. Having descended this time, they had made sufficient preparations, keeping a path of retreat open.
