“Also, opponents of sufficient standard are required to temper my blade.”
Saying thus, Yan Zhaoge stabbed outwards with his sword.
A white speck of light circulated on the tip of the sword, ferocious and vicious to the extreme.
Even the low grade Sacred Artifact that Yan Zhaoge was executing this sword dao with, the Glorious Rainbow Sword, was ringing as it seemed unable to withstand the sword dao of its own master.
The expressions on the faces of the Radiant Light Sect martial practitioners all changed.
Yan Zhaoge actually wanted to slaughter them in other to completely finish cultivating in this decimating sword of his.
That other third level Martial Saint aside from Nong Yuxuan was the first to come.
A majestic, domineering force descended straight towards Yan Zhaoge.
Yan Zhaoge slashed diagonally, a black spot suddenly appearing amidst the immeasurable brightness which began to expand unceasingly.
Seeing this, the other party felt a chill within his heart as he could only feel that the immeasurable brightness formed of his true essence was actually being extinguished non-stop.
He hurriedly exerted greater force, but who knew that Yan Zhaoge’s move was actually a fake.
After that sword, he immediately turned, not waiting for the other Radiant Light Sect martial practitioners to arrive as he had already switched his position.
Yan Zhaoge appeared behind that third level Martial Saint, directly striking out with a tyrannical Cyclic Heavenly Seal.
The other party turned and struck out with a palm, forcibly receiving Yan Zhaoge’s blow head-on. While he was not injured, his footing immediately grew unstable as his figure fell backwards.
An immense suction force suddenly emanated from behind him. The great gate of the Myriad Dragon Palace had opened, resembling the opening maws of a massive beast.
He struck backwards with a palm, wanting to send the Myriad Dragon Palace into retreat. Yet, Yan Zhaoge stabbed over with his sword once more, forcing him into having to block his attack.
Yan Zhaoge now flashed the Earth Devouring Burner, accurately intercepting his attack.
Immediately afterwards, he struck out with yet another palm, shocking him into retreat as he stumbled all the way backwards into the Myriad Dragon Palace!
The Myriad Dragon Palace was unable to suppress a third level Martial Saint expert for more than a few breaths of time.
However, to Yan Zhaoge, this was already sufficient. All the other Radiant Light Sect martial practitioners were now like lambs to the slaughter for him as he charged into their midst.
Six breaths of time had passed. Nong Yuxuan emitted a low roar.
The aura of the Extreme Yang Seal which could only attack once was gradually diminished as it retreated, flying back to Yan Zhaoge’s side.
The terrifying Dim Glorious Sabre Qi was instantly released as Nong Yuxuan immediately retracted it!
As the seventh breath of time arrived, fluctuations finally appeared in Feng Yunsheng’s pupils as they were unprecedentedly blazing hot!
As she brandished her sabre, she actually wounded herself, leaving behind a sabre-wound on her own arm.
Fresh blood flowed over the blade of the Cold Sun Divine Sabre, streams of black qi emanating from within which intermingled with the dim blue radiance.
Feng Yunsheng shot into the air in her entirety, actually flinging herself amidst that black roiling fire and devilish qi!
The dim blue cold sun actually seemed to fade out at this moment. However, the mighty Dim Glorious Sabre Qi began to pulsate unceasingly.
Nong Yuxuan’s expression changed as he detected that Feng Yunsheng was actually trying to wrest control over his Dim Glorious Sabre Qi.
He had once considered this possibility before, yet had never thought anything of it. Now, however, he could clearly feel the Dim Glorious Sabre Qi that he possessed actually quaking once more.
It wasn’t just the Dim Glorious Sabre Qi that was temporarily stored within his body which he had still yet to refine which exhibited abnormalities.
Even the power of the Rahu Star of the eclipse that he had already refined grew restless as well, seeming like it might rebel at any moment.
“It is not just that sabre. There is something up with she herself as well!” Nong Yuxuan instantly understood.
Having tripped over the same rock twice, Nong Yuxuan had not the time to feel vexed or despondent as he tried to stabilise his Dim Glorious Sabre Qi with all his might.
The current Feng Yunsheng had clearly temporarily obtained such powerful might with some sort of secret technique.
He did not believe that Feng Yunsheng could persist for long. As more time passed, she would definitely be the first to collapse.
So long as she ceased to be supported by the power of cold sun, it would be impossible for Feng Yunsheng who had only just entered the Martial Grandmaster realm to continue fighting for the Dim Glorious Sabre Qi with a Martial Saint.
The eighth breath.
Seeing Yan Zhaoge’s sword-aura surging rampantly to the heavens as Nong Yuxuan was actually obstructed by an unknown woman, Cheng Song’s gaze involuntarily turned solemn somewhat.
He wanted to move past the Northern Ocean Clone. Yet, the Northern Ocean Clone was just too fast for that to be possible.
Just in terms of speed alone, the Northern Ocean Clone at the late Merging Avatar stage was not inferior to the early Seeing Divinity stage Cheng Song in the least, even surpassing him somewhat.
Cheng Song was wary of the dark green bamboo cane. However, as they moved, it could not land on his body, being unable to make things difficult for his Sacred Artifact.
It was just that Cheng Song had to devote some of his attention to this as he was therefore unable to demonstrate his full prowess.
Thus, he was obstructed by the Northern Ocean Clone who was bolstered by the Fish Dragon Spear and the Imperious Cold Martial Armour, being unable to go deal with Yan Zhaoge himself.
The current Yan Zhaoge’s momentum surged ferociously to the heavens as he brandished his sword.
The sword-light of the Glorious Rainbow Sword which had already been a peak low-grade Sacred Artifact originally was currently almost retracted completely.
There was just that flickering speck of white light on the sword tip that was ferocious and vicious to the extreme.
As the sword slashed past, the low-grade Sacred Artifact of a Radiant Light Sect Martial Saint, a sabre, actually had its blade penetrated completely through by a single sword of Yan Zhaoge’s!
A tiny hole appeared on the blade of the sabre. While it appeared no bigger than a pinhole, its radiance instantly dimmed, its spiritual qi dispersing!
It was as though the vitals of a living entity with a will of its own had been struck, with its life swiftly ebbing away from it.
The ninth breath.
Feng Yunsheng stood amidst that roiling black fire and devilish qi, her essence blood spilling unceasingly from the wound on her arm.
As it came into contact with the surrounding Dim Glorious Sabre Qi, this essence blood was immediately devoured and incinerated.
The originally brutal Dim Glorious Sabre Qi suddenly became much calmer at this moment before it was unceasingly absorbed by the Cold Sun Divine Sabre in Feng Yunsheng’s hands.
The aura of the Cold Sun Divine Sabre and Feng Yunsheng herself flourished increasingly. However, Feng Yunsheng’s face was growing increasingly ashen as well.
Accompanied by the loss of her essence blood, she was growing weaker and weaker as she was completely being supported by the miraculous might of the power of cold sun.
It was just that as the Dim Glorious Sabre Qi absorbed by the Cold Sun Divine Sabre grew, the sabre-intent of the Cold Sun Divine Sabre was correspondingly strengthened as its rate of absorption of the Dim Glorious Sabre Qi grew higher as well.
Finally, the Cold Sun Divine Sabre virtually seemed to be frenziedly devouring the Dim Gloriou
s Sabre Qi on its own accord.
Outside of the roiling black smoke, as Yan Zhaoge ‘slew’ his opponent’s Sacred Artifact with a single sword, his sword-intent grew even more brutal and terrifying.
The true martial avatar above his head grew increasingly blurry at this moment, converging towards nothingness.
As the brutal sword-intent of extinction within flourished, the sword itself grew increasingly blurry.
It was as if everything had been destroyed, moving towards an end as all faded into nothingness together.
Nong Yuxuan grit his teeth resolutely, stabilising his Dim Glorious Sabre Qi.
He thought to simply ignore Feng Yunsheng and the Dim Glorious Sabre Qi, just attacking Yan Zhaoge first. However, his body stiffened where he was, not listening to his commands.
Cheng Song began madly trying to break through the defensive lines of the Northern Ocean Clone.
That third level Martial Saint of the Radiant Light Sect seemed set to escape from the Myriad Dragon Palace at about any moment now.
The other Radiant Light Sect experts surged forward in unison, wanting to capitalise on their numerical advantage to slay Yan Zhaoge for good.
Everyone was frenziedly fighting for the most valuable thing-time!
The ninth breath passed. The tenth breath of time arrived!
Yan Zhaoge turned, not entangling with the other Radiant Light Sect experts as his target remained that first level Martial Saint Elder whose Sacred Artifact he had destroyed!
Where his sword-light passed, blood splattered!
However, just having flown, the fresh blood was immediately extinguished as if it had never existed in this world.
Even this splattering fresh blood was reduced to nothingness as it was enveloped by that sword-intent!
Yan Zhaoge raised his head and emitted a long roar towards the heavens. The true martial avatar above his head that was in the form of a long sword and appeared transparent seemed to vanish.
Light illuminated the world all around with Yan Zhaoge as the centre, shooting into the heavens.
History's Strongest Senior Brother Chapter 673: Hence does Sainthood descend!
HSSB673: Hence does Sainthood descend!
As Yan Zhaoge roared, he suddenly kept the Glorious Rainbow Sword in his hand.
However, that terrifying sword-intent that exterminated all lifeforms and all things still remained as it surged throughout the surrounding area.
Where the sword-intent passed, all existences between the heavens and the earth seemed to grow ashen and defeated, moving towards their end together.
At this moment, Yan Zhaoge achieved minor completion in the sword dao that he cultivated in.
This terrifying sword-intent greatly intimidated one’s heart.
Scenes were illusory between the heavens and the earth as they were tainted by the sword-intent such that numerous phenomena seemed to appear before everyone’s eyes.
Time seemed to flow in reverse at this moment, everyone returning to the time before the heavens and earth had been split apart in primordial times where the great wilderness had still yet to set in.
While it was clearly the beginning of the beginning, all objects and all things seemed to be shrouded by a layer of twilight.
They seemed to move towards deterioration and decay together, simultaneously greeting their final fate of extermination.
The utmost beginning and the utmost end seemed to converge as one now, all things in this world simultaneously reaching their end, being extinguished and disappearing as they finally returned to nothingness.
Yan Zhaoge raised his head to look at the true martial avatar above his head that seemed to have vanished, a hint of a smile appearing at the corners of his mouth.
“Immortal Ending Sword Manual-I have finally comprehended a portion of its true intent.”
The sword-intent that Yan Zhaoge had been cultivating in and tempering was precisely the greatest accomplishment amongst sword daos, the <> that was a supreme direct lineage martial art of the Prime Clear lineage.
It was one of the supreme martial scriptures of the Prime Clear Ancestor of the Three Purities, the Lord of Numinous Treasure, being known as the Numinous Treasure Four Swords and also the Immortal Exterminating Four Swords along with the Immortal Exterminating Sword Manual, the Immortal Slaughtering Sword Manual and the Immortal Trapping Sword Manual.
It was a supreme martial art legacy that was equally acclaimed alongside the ten Primordial Heavenly Scriptures.
The Martial Repository of the Heavenly Court’s Divine Palace had possessed a complete collection of the Immortal Ending Sword Manual back then.
It represented all things going from existence to nonexistence, being extinguished as they returned to the concept of nothingness. It was an incomparably ferocious, powerful sword of the eternal end.
It had left behind countless legends ever since the legendary eras of the past.
Of the Immortal Exterminating Four Swords, the Immortal Ending Sword extinguished all objects, whether they were formless or without form, real or illusory, sending all, myriad variations into extermination with a single sword.
Ten breaths of time had passed. Yan Zhaoge suddenly kept his Glorious Rainbow Sword.
Even the sword-intent of the Immortal Ending Sword Manual was retracted as well as the true martial avatar above his head suddenly changed, transforming into a person.
That person seemed to sit amidst the primordial chaos, resembling a single point yet also seeming broad and infinite.
The primordial chaos was split apart, all going from nonexistence to existence.
The wilderness was opened, the heavens and the earth existing separately as myriad creation arose, the vast seas flowing.
Next, Yan Zhaoge’s true martial avatar changed, transforming into a huge giant whose entire body was enshrouded by streams of clear qi.
The giant’s figure gradually grew smaller whereas the clear qi instead grew increasingly condensed and refined as it was retracted within his body.
Numerous silhouettes flickered above the head of the illusory figure.
From a dragon coiling amidst the heavens, to Vajra sitting in mediation atop the ground, to wind and fire sweeping through the entire sky, to a pill furnace spurting out purple flames…
Apart from that, there were also ice dragons leaving the sea, a sun hanging high overhead, blazing fire incinerating the world, the tranquillity of moonlight, even a turtle and snake intermingling, the divinity of the Xuanwu Emperor manifesting…
The numerous scenes manifested numerous martial true intents.
Congregated together, they were not disorderly as all these various original true intents gradually dissipated, finally converging to form a swirling torrent.
Atop the swirling torrent vaguely appeared the qi of the karmic merit of all the heavens and the earth, manifesting the phenomenon of a Saint enlightening countless citizens.
This held the power of the true martial avatar, being slightly weaker than that previously manifested with the power of the Peerless Heavenly Scripture yet possessing an intent of tranquil non-tendency.
It seemed to exist between existence and nonexistence, seeming like it was there whilst also not, seeming like it was both there and not there at the same time.
Now, Yan Zhaoge’s true martial avatar shook and changed once more, returning to the form of a long sword.
The long sword was virtually transparent, seemingly having entered nothingness, but that terrifying concept which could extinguish all things was apparent without doubt.
As this sword appeared, all things which had previously been created entered destruction together, moving towards their destined end as they were formlessly extinguished.
They all reached their eternal end, everything going from existence to nonexistence.
The tenth breath had passed. The eleventh breath came.
Illuminated by the all-dazzling radiance, the true martial avatar above Yan Zhaoge’s head d
escended slowly, merging with his body!
Everyone of the Radiant Light Sect, Nong Yuxuan and Cheng Song included, all looked on in shock at Yan Zhaoge as he stood in mid-air.
In condensing true martial avatars of their own, martial practitioners were only able to condense just a single one in most circumstances.
It was not a matter of competence. Instead, it was for the merging of the body and the avatar when one stepped into the Martial Saint realm.
If there were too many true martial avatars, the difficulty of the body and avatar merging would rise exponentially as a result.
However, the current Yan Zhaoge had his true martial avatar changing unceasingly amidst a single breath of time, bedazzling everyone’s eyes and leaving their hearts palpitating madly.
As the current Yan Zhaoge retracted his true martial avatar back into his body, he was not dispersing it as did most Martial Grandmasters. Instead, he sought to combine it together with his fleshly body and physique!
Yan Zhaoge sought to Transcend Mortality and enter Sainthood today, taking that single step into the Martial Saint realm!
According to publicly accepted common knowledge, what Yan Zhaoge was doing now would fail as many times as it was attempted. It would even cause one’s true essence to clash chaotically as it ran amok, descending into cultivation deviation as there was the possibility of one perishing with their dao dissipating at any moment.
However, looking at Yan Zhaoge now, even someone as arrogant as Nong Yuxuan and an expert like Cheng Song who was an early Seeing Divinity Martial Saint involuntarily had the same feeling arise within their hearts.
He would definitely succeed!
If it was this person, he would definitely succeed!
It was not that they possessed confidence towards Yan Zhaoge. Instead, as Yan Zhaoge’s essence, qi and spirit skyrocketed to a peak at this moment, he displayed a calm, carefree state of utter ease.
His accumulation just being too abundant, everything just flowed naturally into completion.
The heavenly gulf of Transcending Mortality and entering Sainthood was, to him, just like treading over flat ground.
Everything simply depended on whether he wanted to do it, no considerations required whatsoever!
