It explosive power was peerless as it broke through the sea of flames, all doomed to fall before it.
Let alone this blazing fire up ahead, it seemed that even if it was heaven or hell, immortals, gods or Buddhas, all that stood in the way of that sabre would be cleaved, decimated, crushed!
Yan Di’s sabre seemed to carry an unstoppable momentum!
The splitting of the heavens and the earth, the circulation of creation and fortune, the changing of the ages, walking towards finality.
His sabre-intent was not pure extermination, execution, destruction. Instead, it seemed to propel the unseen workings of the heavens and earth, the turbulent torrents of destiny!
Everything that tried to go against its flow or obstruct it would be crushed to smithereens by this grand, momentous tide of the heavens and the earth!
Therefore, it was unstoppable, only ever barrelling forward!
Forward!
Yet forward!
King Xuanmu was rendered wide-eyed and tongue-tied as the attack of his Seven Fowl Treasured Spear was struck aside by Yan Di’s sabre!
A fact that he found difficult to accept was laid out before his very eyes.
Even back in the World beyond Worlds, he was still not Yan Di’s match!
He who was of the late Seeing Divinity stage was actually not a match for an early Seeing Divinity Martial Saint who had only just ascended to the World beyond Worlds!
While he was currently heavily injured and not at his peak state, what left him even more panicked and fearful was that honestly speaking, even if he were at his peak state now, he would also not be sufficiently confident of obtaining victory over the current Yan Di!
Even the emotions of the greatly experienced King Xuanmu fell into disarray now.
Yan Di cleaved through the heavens with a sabre, breaking through the sea of flames with a mighty, majestic force which then arrived directly before King Xuanmu.
King Xuanmu dared not underestimate this sabre as he expanded his White Crane Treasured Spear, his figure swiftly dodging to the side as he evaded that terrifying purple sabre-light.
Yan Di wielded a purple sabre around which coiling dragons roared.
While its appearance was exactly the same as that of his previous high-grade spirit artifact, the Heavenly Dragon Sabre, the sabre-intent and concept within were already completely different.
That high-grade spirit artifact of the past had shattered, Yan Di having combined its fragments with numerous dragon corpses and tempered it with his sabre-intent to reforge it into this current Sacred Artifact sabre!
Its name was also the Heavenly Dragon Sabre.
Yet, just like its owner, it had already been wholly reborn, stepping into new heavens and earth.
Yan Di overflowed with a domineering air as he went all out in attacking, each sabre fiercer than the previous. No breathing room was given to King Xuanmu in the least as Yan Di’s attacks descended on him with the momentum of toppling mountains and overturning seas!
King Xuanmu could only continually fall back in retreat!
“Do your worst!” King Xuanmu stabilised his mindset, expelling all his fury, hatred, shame and shock.
He regained his calmness, only considering one thing which was how to handle this enemy before him.
Layers of radiance lit up on the robe he was wearing, innumerable talismans appearing on its surface!
This Immortal Talisman Embroidered Robe was one of the rare mid-grade Sacred Artifacts which could moderate its own power and descend into the lower worlds.
This treasure had been a major reason why King Xuanmu had been able to flee alive from the Eight Extremities World after having descended there previously.
At this moment, this mid-grade Sacred Artifact finally unleashed all its power, demonstrating its original flair!
King Xuanmu already no longer dared to underestimate Yan Di in the least as he completely treated him as an equal or even an opponent who was stronger than him.
Even while Seeing Divinity Martial Saints could already fully wield the power of mid-grade Sacred Artifacts, it was still people controlling weapons and not weapons controlling people at the end of the day.
In the hands of King Xuanmu who was at the peak of the late Seeing Divinity stage, this mid-grade Sacred Artifact displayed even more power that surpassed the norm.
Innumerable talismans transformed into numerous screens of light, helping King Xuanmu to block Yan Di’s sabre.
Yan Di’s expression did not change. Whatever many variations and abilities you might have, eat my one sabre!
Where his terrifying purple sabre-light passed, countless talismans broke apart, scattering into a pile of dust which was bright and glistening as it seemed to envelop the heavens and the earth like mist.
Yan Di discovered that that light mist resembled infinite blades which completely enveloped the surrounding area, attacking towards him together as they were omnipresent and all-pervasive.
Wielding his sabre with his right hand, he chopped out rampantly with another sabre-blow.
At the same time, Yan Di suddenly opened his mouth, abruptly inhaling!
Like an alligator sucking in water, the infinite, endless dust was suddenly sucked into Yan Di’s mouth and down into his stomach!
Chen Zhiliang and Bai Ziming had on dazed expressions.
Faced with that shiny dust, they would choose to either defend or evade, definitely not allowing it to touch them.
Yet, this Yan Di had actually directly swallowed it into his stomach?
But the internal organs of the human body were far weaker than its exterior!
Seeing this, King Xuanmu inhaled deeply.
After controlling the Immortal Talisman Embroidered Robe to forcibly resist another sabre of Yan Di’s, this current monarch of the Grand Xuan Dynasty and expert of the peak of the sixth level of the Martial Saint realm put in not a single last, vengeful word as he just immediately turned and fled!
Seeing this, the other Grand Xuan Dynasty martial practitioners were all lost for words.
After their shock, they seemed like they had awoken from a dream as they all fled into the distance.
Yan Di struck out with a sabre, again breaking through the numerous screens of light as he hacked at the blazing fire that protected King Xuanmu.
King Xuanmu uttered a muffled groan as the wound he had suffered in the Eight Extremities World which had already been closed by him originally split open once more, fresh blood spilling profusely.
He did not even look back as he instead fled more quickly, continuing to beat a hasty retreat.
As the momentum of Yan Di’s sabre surged once more, his low-grade Sacred Artifact, the Heavenly Dragon Sabre, began shaking slightly.
“Father, now that you have reached the Seeing Divinity stage, this sabre has to be refined again!” Seeing this, Yan Zhaoge instead laughed loudly, “Let me first find you a temporary replacement. While you might not be used to it, it is definitely a good sabre.”
He clapped the gate of the Myriad Dragon Palace, “Yunsheng!”
Within the Myriad Dragon Palace, Feng Yunsheng similarly smiled, “Chief, please allow this disciple to secretly pick up a few moves from you.”
Black flames of devilish qi suddenly gushed out from the gate of the Myriad Dragon Palace as a black sabre which was wreathed in black fire and flickered with a dim blue lustre flew over towards Yan Di.
A faint smile appeared on Yan Di’s cool, handsome face, resembling the clouds separating to reveal the sun, “It should be said that I am enjoying the glory of you youngsters.”
He placed his right hand that wielded the Heavenly Dragon Sabre behind his back.
His left hand directly grabbed the incoming Cold Sun Divine Sabre, chopping outwards!
The purple sabre-light that was wreathed in black flames of devilish qi instantly dyed the entire heavens and earth purplish-black.
A sturdy, indestructible sabre-light destroyed the heavens and extinguished t
he earth as it caught up with the fleeing King Xuanmu!

HSSB765: Slaying the Xuan King!
Following gradual nourishment by Feng Yunsheng, the Cold Sun Divine Sabre had been unceasingly restored, its strength rising as it regaining its former might as the Rahu Sabre was already in sight.
Now that this sabre had landed in Yan Di’s hands, it instantly demonstrated a fierceness that surged to the heavens.
The black flames of devilish qi formed of the power of corrosion having integrated within the purple sabre-light, the sabre-light turned a purplish-black colour in its entirety.
The brutal sabre-light instantly broke through the defence of King Xuanmu’s Immortal Talisman Embroidered Robe.
Countless spirit talismans broke apart and were extinguished, the light mist formed of it completely being exterminated by that terrifying sabre-light as well!
The majestic, tyrannical divine sabre displayed the momentum of breaking bamboo as it hacked through the Immortal Talisman Embroidered Robe before directly descending on King Xuanmu!
King Xuanmu was greatly shocked as a five-coloured fiery light surged throughout his entire body, transforming into seven fowl, consisting of a phoenix, an azure luan, a great roc, a peacock, a white crane, a swan and an owl.
The five fires and seven fowl soared simultaneously, forming a layered storm of flames which swept through the heavens and the earth, protecting King Xuanmu’s entire body.
Yet, wherever this terrifying sabre-light of Yan Di’s passed, the flames dispersed, the fowl perishing.
The firestorm was cleaved right through by the sabre-light, a new wound instantly appearing on King Xuanmu’s back!
He groaned tragically, not daring to linger as he could only continue fleeing.
Yan Di strode forth in pursuit. Where his sabre-light passed, the flow of time in the heavens and the earth surrounding King Xuanmu’s body turned strange.
King Xuanmu became slower, while the sabre-light became faster!
Purplish-black light flashed, one sabre after another descending as they crisscrossed amidst the horizon, unforgivingly pursuing King Xuanmu.
Accompanied by his ceaseless sabres, Yan Di’s aura surged as his sabre-intent which was ever advancing alongside the unseen workings of the heavens and the earth flourished, sweeping everything that stood in its path into oblivion!
Arriving behind King Xuanmu, Yan Di kept the Heavenly Dragon Sabre in his right hand, “Arriving in a new land for the first time, having an expert be sacrifice to my blade-a cause for celebration indeed.”
He raised the Cold Sun Divine Sabre high overhead with his left hand, next hacking downwards!
All light between the heavens and the earth simultaneously dimmed at this moment.
The world suddenly turned dark before everyone’s eyes, all being blurry.
There was only that powerful sabre-intent which had reached attained new, unstoppable heights as it enveloped the entire Virtuous Spirit Region of the Royal Reed Sea.
King Xuanmu’s tragic cry resounded by everyone’s ears.
The next moment, the darkness faded. Gazing into the distance, they saw two figures in the distant horizon where the sea and the sky intersected.
One of them who wielded a black sabre in his left hand kept the sabre, bringing it behind his back.
Right opposite him was a headless corpse!
A human head was spinning into the air, swiftly plummeting after reaching the peak of its trajectory.
His eyes glared in rage, shock and fury remaining on his face. It was none other than King Xuanmu!
Yan Di extended his right hand, catching King Xuanmu’s head. He glanced over before his true essence began moving to intercept the headless corpse currently falling towards the sea below.
He turned and strode back, carrying along King Xuanmu’s remains and walking atop space as he returned to where Yan Zhaoge and the others were.
The Grand Xuan Dynasty martial practitioners who wanted to flee had been continuously slain by the Northern Ocean Clone. The fortunate survivor whose path was currently blocked as he fought for his survival now stared dazedly at Yan Di and that head he was currently carrying.
Even Chen Zhiliang and Bai Ziming had shock on their faces as they sucked in a breath of cold air.
While having witnessed the process of Yan Di’s ascension, they had already known that the person before them was definitely extraordinary, being a heaven-defying genius even in the World beyond Worlds rather than just a lower world, they were still incomparably shocked as they watched Yan Di slay King Xuanmu now.
That was, after all, a peak expert of the late Seeing Divinity stage, a heroic figure of the Royal Reed Sea who was a pillar and monarch.
Even though he had been injured in the Eight Extremities World, such would still not conceal his power. The strength he had displayed in battling Yan Di earlier had left all the onlookers sighing admiringly.
Yet, such a peak expert currently no longer shared his head with his body.
The one who had slain him was an early Seeing Divinity Martial Saint who had just ascended from a lower world!
Even Chen Zhiliang who had previously met countless experts and geniuses as a personal disciple of the Southeastern Exalt was rendered unable to speak for a long time.
“Even eldest apprentice-brother probably did not possess such strength at such a cultivation level! I really do not know who else there is who might have achieved this…” Chen Zhiliang unconsciously gazed towards Yan Zhaoge, suddenly smiling in a forced manner, “Oh wait, there really is one.”
Bai Ziming shook his head non-stop, not in the mood for talking at all.
Comparing people could really kill someone just as inferior goods were meant to be thrown away.
While they were both early Seeing Divinity Martial Saints who had ascended from the lower worlds to the World beyond Worlds, the difference between them was truly so great it could not be spoken of in the same breath.
Looking at the approaching Yan Di, Yan Zhaoge smiled, “In coming up this time, father, you have shocked the world in a single go, immediately establishing your fame amongst countless citizens.”
“It was merely by coincidence,” Walking over beside Yan Zhaoge, Yan Di smiled, “It is instead you, who have even Transcended Mortality and entered Sainthood.”
Yan Di was happier about his son’s achievements than his own.
Yan Zhaoge said, “My speed is still okay. I can’t let it be said that we are a case of a tiger of a father begetting a dog of a son.”
Yan Di could not help but laugh, “You have already surpassed me. At your current age, I was still not yet a Martial Saint.”
Yan Zhaoge chuckled, “Somehow, I just went and did it.”
Emerging from the Myriad Dragon Palace, Feng Yunsheng and the others made a face at Yan Zhaoge as they heard this, “Pretend, continue pretending, you!”
“Yunsheng, Huting, you’ve improved a lot as well,” Yan Di smiled as he returned the Cold Sun Divine Sabre to Feng Yunsheng, “Based on this speed, you will both attain the Martial Saint realm at a very young age, even earlier than I did.”
Feng Yunsheng and Ah Hu hurriedly shook their heads, “We are cultivating in the World beyond Worlds which is much more suitable for cultivation than the Eight Extremities World, also having profited from the many treasures from the dragon mausoleum and the Dim Radiant Mausoleum. Such an ideal environment served to enhance our cultivation progress.”
“Even with that, you have also been working hard,” Yan Di smiled, looking over in another direction.
There, a young, white-clothed girl was currently looking dazedly at him.
Yan Zhaoge smiled, “Father, this is Xiao Ai, mother’s maid. I met her in the Dim Radiant Mausoleum this time, having been bringing her around with us thereafter.”
Yan Di was rather taken aback as he could not help but appraise Xiao Ai again.
Xiao Ai still looked somewhat dazed.
Yan Di looked at Yan Zhaoge, “This…”
Yan Zhaoge who already had a certain level of understanding towards Xiao Ai waved his hands, “You were just too handsome now; she’s having her man-crazy fantasies. She’ll naturally be okay in a bit.”
“What kind of strange things are you saying,” While this was what Yan Di said, he seemed to get it as he could not help but hold back a smile.
Yan Zhaoge now introduced Yan Di to Chen Zhiliang and Bai Ziming who were standing by the side.
Hearing Yan Zhaoge’s words of introduction, Yan Di said solemnly, “Many thanks for watching over Zhaoge. If there is a chance in the future, I hope to be able to pay the Southeastern Exalt a visit at Golden Court Mountain. I will be relying on Mister Chen’s introduction then.”
“It was with the help of Mister Bai and your Great Snowy Mountain that my Master was able to return from the Floating Gate World to the Eight Extremities World this time. Yan Di thanks you here.”
The two also regained their wits now as they hurriedly reciprocated Yan Di’s greetings, “You are polite. Speaking of this, your son has also helped us out in many ways.”
They looked first at Yan Zhaoge and then at Yan Di, unable to keep the sigh from simultaneously escaping their mouths.
Old man a hero and sonny a champ…

HSSB766: Same art but of different lineages
Bai Ziming was merely feeling admiration alone. As for Chen Zhiliang who was more knowledgeable and experienced, there was more which he thought about.
His gaze moved between Yan Zhaoge, Yan Di and Feng Yunsheng.
“That sabre possesses ferocious sabre-qi which manifested as black flames of devilish qi, devouring the heavens and corroding the sun. It seems to contain the power of corrosion?”
Chen Zhiliang wondered, “I was actually unable to instantly see through the actual grade of this sabre. It is not like a high-grade Sacred Artifact, whilst also not like a mid-grade Sacred Artifact.”
“Logically speaking, there are few treasures which possess power of corrosion that is so powerful and pure. All of them shock the heavens and shake the earth, their fame spreading far and wide.”
