Empty fire, stone fire, wood fire, Samadhi fire, mortal fire, five fires incinerating the heavens.
A phoenix, an azure luan, a great roc, a peacock, a white crane, a swan, an owl, seven fowl in the sky.
The storm of flames which incinerated the heavens and extinguished the earth converged at a single point as it rotated, the bottom of the storm manifesting as the violent tip of a spear which pierced towards Yan Di!
The Five Fire True Arts and Seven Fowl Treasured Spear as executed by a mid Immortal Bridge Martial Saint possessed a momentum that far surpassed that of King Xuanmu, Yao Hai and Yang Zhaozhen.
Yan Di who had personally slain King Xuanmu was able to feel this extremely clearly.
In the face of this storm of flames, the Flame Devil World of the past was like an insubstantial little ember in comparison.
Beneath this spear of King Xuancheng’s, the roiling waves of heat gave they of Broad Creed Mountain beneath the protection of the Grand Clear Grand Formation a suffocating feeling.
While not so profound and unpredictable as well as miraculous as Shen Lingzi’s attacks, this spear of King Xuancheng’s was much more directly threatening as it was swifter and fiercer as well.
This was so even for the onlookers, let alone Yan Di who was facing its might directly.
However, facing such a fierce, vicious attack, Yan Di’s expression did not change as his response was ever unchanging.
Whatever miraculous means you may have, however fierce and vicious your attacks, eat my sabre!
The majestic sabre-light shot into the skies, mightily colliding with the tip of the spear formed of the storm of flames up above!
“Huh?!” The expressions of Daoist Shi and the other Grand Xuan Dynasty martial practitioners suddenly changed.
In their fields of vision, at a speed that was clearly visible to the naked eye, it was actually Yan Di’s sabre-light which gradually broke through King Xuancheng’s spear attack!
This sabre split the heavens and the earth apart whilst also extinguishing them!
As if projecting the process of the initial splitting apart of the heavens and earth to the eventual end of life and all creation, that sabre could not be stopped, could not be denied.
This concept had within it integrated every single one of Yan Di’s techniques ever since achieving grand accomplishment in his martial true intent.
Looking coldly at this scene, King Xuancheng said indifferently, “This King does not believe that you can continuously attack like this.”
He did not cease in his attacks as he substituted spear with fist, instantly stabbing out with hundreds upon thousands of spears like a tempestuous storm!
The violent flames rampaged across the sky, sweeping through space.
Though Yan Di was raising his head and looking at King Xuancheng up above, it felt as though he was looking down upon him with his gaze.
The next moment, the sabre-light seemingly erupted in a chain attack, relentless and unforgiving as it broke through every one of King Xuancheng’s spear attacks, even counterattacking ceaselessly!
King Xuancheng’s gaze froze, “How is this possible?”
Even if Yan Di possessed an ultimate move and strength that far surpassed others of the same cultivation level, such an attack should logically be extremely taxing on him as it should not be sustained for long.
For attack which surpassed the limit for Seeing Divinity Martial Saints by so much, how could it possibly flow on continuously like this, as if it had no end?
Yet, this was the truth, a cold, hard truth which King Xuancheng of the eighth level of the Martial Saint realm felt utterly disbelieving of!
Divine light glowed in Yan Di’s eyes as along with his breathing, a stream of black qi and a stream of white qi surrounded his entire body, flowing on ceaselessly.
These powerful attacks which surpassed the limits with every blow indeed could not be maintained for long.
However, Yan Di was currently equipped with the Yin Yang Heavenly Scripture that Yan Zhaoge had supplied with its principles of the heavens and earth that reversed yin and yang, the speed at which his true essence returned thus similarly far surpassing the norm.
With the momentum of splitting the sky, the sabre-light hacked apart the all-encompassing flames!
Yan Di walked atop the air, killing his way straight over to King Xuancheng up above whereupon he chopped out with a sabre!
Beneath the disbelieving gazes of those of the Grand Xuan Dynasty, it was shockingly the figure of King Xuancheng that toppled backwards in retreat!

HSSB872: Sabres that split and extinguish the heavens
Daoist Shi no longer looked as leisurely and composed as before.
Unlike King Xuanmu who had already been injured in the Eight Extremities World, also having been a Seeing Divinity Martial Saint just like the newly ascended Yan Di, the current King Xuancheng was an actual eighth level Martial Saint, an expert of the mid Immortal Bridge stage who had experienced countless battles.
However, not relying on formations, not relying on geographical advantage, not relying on high-grade Sacred Artifacts as he wielded the reforged Heavenly Dragon Sabre which was a mid-grade Sacred Artifact, Yan Di had relied solely on his own power and sent King Xuancheng toppling back into retreat with a single sabre!
Yan Di capitalised unforgivingly on his momentum, his sabres descending in an endless chain as they resembled the great tide of eras, unstoppable as they swept across the heavens and the earth which lay ahead without opposition.
He strode forth, instantly arriving before King Xuancheng whereupon he chopped out with another sabre!
Currently, King Xuancheng had a solemn expression on his face.
He already dared not underestimate his opponent any further as all such thoughts had already dissipated with the wind.
His hatred and fury from the death of his son had also already been eradicated completely.
All negative emotions which could affect his judgment and mentality was presently hacked completely away by King Xuancheng from his own mind now.
There only remained the calm mind and will of a powerful martial practitioner as he faced a powerful opponent.
As Yan Di arrived before him with his attack, focused and vigilant, King Xuancheng actually did not evade or dodge it as he instead forcibly received Yan Di’s sabre with his body!
A treasured light suddenly lit up on his body as a battle armour helped him to block Yan Di’s sabre.
On the armour was engraved the profiles of seven fowl as five fires roiled and surged.
It was a high-grade Sacred Artifact!
While King Xuanmu had lost the King Xuan Spear, in returning to the Royal Reed Sea this time, King Xuancheng had brought back a Five Fires Seven Fowl Armour!
In contrast to the offensive King Xuan Spear, it mainly relied on its defensive capabilities. King Xuancheng had long been waiting for this day not just to slay Yan Di and those of Broad Creed Mountain to take revenge for his son but also to wrest back the King Xuan Spear.
Immortal Bridge Martial Saints were able to sufficiently exert the capabilities of high-grade Sacred Artifacts. Worn by King Xuancheng, the Five Fires Seven Fowl Armour displayed shocking defensive power.
Even as he forcibly took a sabre of Yan Di’s, King Xuancheng immediately stabbed out with a spear straight at Yan Di’s chest!
At such close proximity, he was remarkably fast, his fist resembling the tip of a spear as it instantly arrived before Yan Di’s chest.
Yan Di’s left hand grabbed over at lightning speed, grabbing King Xuancheng’s arm and preventing his spear attack from advancing any further.
However, that terrifying spear formed of flames looked set to forcibly penetrate through his body.
Yan Di was dauntless as he exhaled, roaring.
Amidst his roar, five radiances of white, green, black, red and yellow
lit up about his body.
They respectively originated from the five major internal organs of his body.
Within Yan Di’s body, it was as though there resided five guardian spirits at his heart, liver, spleen, lungs and kidneys, five heavenly emperors presiding within.
The forces of the Five Elements, gold, wood, water, fire and earth, surged with vitality, a powerful defensive power and recuperative power taking effect simultaneously which forcibly blocked King Xuancheng’s attack!
Life Creation Heavenly Scripture, Five Elements Deific Immortal Body!
King Xuancheng was shocked as Yan Di coldly met his gaze, rotating the sabre in his right hand and bringing it directly down upon the arm of his enemy that he was grabbing!
“Go!” King Xuancheng howled, the defensive power of the Five Fires Seven Fowl Armour being fully concentrated on the armguard as it forcibly withstood another of Yan Di’s sabres.
His other hand executed a spear technique as well, resembling a venomous snake leaving its nest as it struck out towards Yan Di.
Yan Di launched a flying kick which connected with King Xuancheng’s elbow.
It was not just his sabre arts. Every single one of Yan Di’s moves seemed to have the momentum of the heavens and earth condensed within, destroying everything that stood in his path.
After blocking King Xuancheng’s strike, Yan Di relaxed his grip on King Xuancheng’s other hand before his figure abruptly spun.
With the Heavenly Dragon Sabre raised high, Yan Di wielded it with both his hands this time, chopping down straight at King Xuancheng’s head!
The sky above the Spirit Inheritance Region seemed to shatter at this moment, winds and clouds surging as the entire heavens and earth seemed to break apart into several different fragments.
The scenes there were still the same as they had been before. Still, they had already shattered.
It was as though the heavens and earth had previously been an image atop a porcelain object.
Now, the porcelain object had shattered.
The fragments of the heavens and the earth flew to the sides of Yan Di’s incoming sabre before being swept back along, following the sabre’s trajectory in cleaving straight for King Xuancheng!
King Xuancheng emitted a muffled groan as he stimulated the defensive power of the Five Fires Seven Fowl Armour to the maximum.
A mid-grade Sacred Artifact spear appeared which he mightily swept horizontally across and up above his head, bolstered by the spiritual force of the Five Fires Seven Fowl Armour as he sought to block this sabre of Yan Di’s.
A mighty boom resounded as endless flowing fire and sabre-qi splattered into the surroundings.
Where the seas had already been roiling and surging in the Spirit Inheritance Region, it was really as though the heavens and earth were being overturned now.
At the centre of where the forces intersected, the spear in King Xuancheng’s hands directly snapped into two right at the centre!
While he was protected by the Five Fires Seven Fowl Armour, his qi and blood were still left roiling as he was forcibly jolted backwards into retreat.
Just a short distance away, Gu Zhang and He Dongcheng did not interfere in the battle between Yan Di and King Xuancheng as they instead shot over towards Broad Creed Mountain once more.
Atop Broad Creed Mountain, the radiance of the Taiyi Imperial Breaking Formation lit up once more, shooting straight into the clouds.
Seeing this, Daoist Shi could not be concerned with the battle between Yan Di and King Xuancheng any further as he just carefully observed the Taiyi Imperial Breaking Formation.
He had once analysed a fragmented version of the formation diagram before and also commonly associated with Shen Lingzi who cultivated in the Aeon Light Heavenly Scripture. Seeing the Taiyi Imperial Breaking Formation now, he was instantly able to see through quite some things about it.
Daoist Shi’s hands separated to the sides as he instantly drew countless profound spirit patterns amidst space.
The spirit patterns intersected, forming a massive spirit formation.
In the surroundings of the Royal Reed Sea’s Spirit Inheritance Region, streams of spiritual light surfaced atop the regions of sea of the Desert Mountain Region and elsewhere at this moment.
This spiritual light surrounded the Spirit Inheritance Region, resonating with the spirit patterns drawn by Daoist Shi.
The next moment, an enormous formation which was much vaster than even the entire Spirit Inheritance Formation completely took form, enveloping everyone beneath it.
An earthquake rumbled at the bottom of the sea as a strange beast appeared there, next navigating the waters and surfacing on the sea’s surface.
It as an old turtle that possessed a reddish-black lustre along with the head of a bird and the tail of a poisonous snake.
It was a Cyclone Turtle, presently a very rare breed of demonic species.
This turtle was Daoist Shi’s treasured steed which he had tamed.
It emerged, on its shell engraved traces of the passing ages.
The turtle shell too lit up with spirit patterns now, combining with the grand formation that currently enveloped Broad Creed Mountain.
Streams of reddish-black light suffused the world all round, unceasingly encroaching upon the white light manifested of the Taiyi Imperial Breaking Formation.
Affected by this formation, the power of the Taiyi Imperial Breaking Formation began to deteriorate as it was gradually suppressed and dispelled!
Without the suppression of the Taiyi Imperial Breaking Formation, the shackles on the Grand Xuan Dynasty martial practitioners as led by Gu Zhang and He Doncheng were instantly released as they began forcibly attacking the Mountain.
Still, Yan Zhaoge’s Northern Ocean Clone wielded the King Xuan Spear, directly blocking Gu Zhang’s path.
The other Broad Creed Mountain martial practitioners were not panicked as well as they combined forces in obstructing He Dongcheng and those other Grand Xuan Dynasty experts, engaging them in battle.
Meanwhile, gazing down below, Yan Di suddenly struck out with a fierce, vicious sabre, temporarily sending King Xuancheng into retreat.
Then, he spun around at lightning speed, striding forth and instantly arriving murderously before He Dongcheng, next chopping out with a sabre!
He Dongcheng was greatly shocked, his accurate judgment preventing him from daring to have the least bit of hesitation as he immediately forsook his other opponents, transforming into a streak of light and evading to the side.
However, as Yan Di’s sabre cleaved past, He Dongcheng still groaned tragically.
The sword-light that resembled a long, flowing river was instantly stained with the colour of blood!
History's Strongest Senior Brother Chapter 873: Star Plucking Practitioner
HSSB873: Star Plucking Practitioner
Beneath Yan Di’s sabre amidst space, the early Immortal Bridge Martial Saint He Dongcheng was instantly wounded.
Daoist Shi’s expression was solemn as he pointed with a finger.
Reddish-black streams of light intermingled amidst space, instantly forming an irregular hexagon that resembled a shield which came to protect He Dongcheng.
As Yan Di’s sabre hacked on that shield of light, it immediately shattered.
However, He Dongcheng had already made use of this to survive this tribulation, speeding away in the form of a streak of light as he increased the distance between them.
Meanwhile, King Xuancheng remained decisive and resolute as he displayed no fear of Yan Di at all despite how their earlier exchanges had gone.
As Yan Di spun around, King Xuancheng immediately assumed the offensive in mercilessly pursuing him!
Yan Di was now obstructed by the power of Daoist Shi’s Heaven Earth Divination Formation as King Xuancheng’s attack arrived behind him.
At the same time, several reddish-black shields of light appeared, surrounding Yan Di completely.
Where the ligh
t shields were, space was locked down completely as they simultaneously worked together to imprison Yan Di where he was.
A cold light now flickered in Yan Di’s eyes as his sabre-light surged, vaguely achieving the effect of the Taiyi Imperial Breaking Formation as he suddenly accelerated whereas his opponents vaguely seemed to slow somewhat.
He tensed his shoulders, forcibly resisting a spear of King Xuancheng’s.
With his attainment in the Life Creation Heavenly Scripture, the initially accomplished Five Elements Deific Immortal Body again demonstrated domineering defensive power as it resisted that attack by King Xuancheng.
At the same time, a majestic-sabre light lit up as Yan Di forcibly broke through the imprisoning force of the Divination Heaven Earth Formation, killing his way out of the encirclement.
King Xuancheng and Daoist Shi both had solemn expressions on their faces.
Daoist Shi brought his palms together before pushing them simultaneously outwards.
Reddish-black light intersected between the heavens and the earth, manifesting as numerous irregular shields of light that resembled the shells of turtles.
A total of forty-nine turtle shells appeared with the mysteries of divination concealed within them as they manifested amidst space.
The Heaven Earth Divination Formation was already circulated to the maximum by Daoist Shi now.
The Spirit Inheritance Region and the space which surrounded it seemed to be split into forty-nine portions at this moment which were no longer connected to one another.
As the formation circulated, the size and extent of each portion of space was changing unceasingly just as Daoist Shi willed it to.
Beneath the effects of the Heaven Earth Divination Formation, every time Yan Di attacked one of his opponents, he would find that the distance between them had seemingly become incomparably great as his calculations regarding the distance and timing of his attacks had lost all meaning.
When King Xuancheng and the others attacked him, the distance between them would virtually vanish completely as he would be hard pressed to defend as a result.
