“Wait, could it be that…” Wang Zhengcheng was shocked.
Chen Qianhua’s eyes radiated light as he stared at Yan Di, “Is this your true sabre?”
Yan Di did not answer him as he extended a hand and grabbed that formless sabre formed of thunderbolts.
Endless radiance instantly erupted from the blade of that formless, intangible sabre, illuminating the darkness of the surrounding space.
Then, Yan Di raised his sabre of light.
He hacked out with it!
A blade that resembled a heavenly tribulation descended towards Chen Qianhua.
Chen Qianhua felt as though he would not be able to evade this sabre however he moved.
Still, he did not intend to evade in the first place as he instead rose to the challenge, golden flames surging on his palms as he struck towards Yan Di.
As the Earlier Heaven Departed Fire Divine Palm fell on the Grand Simplicity Splendour Cloud, the cloud finally rippled as it was even diminished somewhat.
Still, it was ultimately unable to penetrate through the Grand Simplicity Splendour Cloud.
Meanwhile, that sabre of light had also already arrived above Chen Qianhua’s head!
The sabre resembled the unstoppable force of the world as it progressed.
Additionally, it was also different from Yan Di’s usual sabre-intent!
The unstoppable transition of all creation from life to destruction was itself already an irreversible process.
Even as Yan Di projected this process with his sabre, he was also pushing it forward, accelerating it ceaselessly!
Causing it to become faster, fiercer, more tyrannical, more unstoppable!
Creation Sabre, Extinguishing Heaven!
Chen Qianhua inhaled deeply and simultaneously executed the Grand Plainness Immeasurable Body and the Grand Beginning Bright Emptiness Form to buy some time.
He projected the profundities of the Spatial Heavenly Scripture with his left hand and the profundities of the Aeon Light Heavenly Scripture with his right.
Surrounded by the Grand Illusory Spatial Thunder as he was, his last ditch effort allowed him to shift through space, barely avoiding his vitals from being struck.
Even so, Yan Di’s sabre-light still chopped heavily onto his body.
Fresh blood instantly splattered through the air.
Chen Qianhua was sent flying as a sabre wound ran diagonally across his entire body from his right shoulder to his left waist, leaving him a bloodied mess!
“Such sabre-intent and sabre arts…” Wang Zhengcheng looked on in shock at this scene.
“Cough, cough…cough…really, those of the same family…” Chen Qianhua ended up laughing for some reason as he even looked a little happy, “In battling opponents of a similar level, it was only that time with Yan Zhaoge that I was wounded even worse than today. Cough, cough…”
Bolstered by just the foundation of the world alone, Chen Qianhua discovered that his wounds were recovering slower than expected.
The remnant sabre-intent from Yan Di’s Creation Sabre restricted his foundation of the world to some extent.
Only when simultaneously executing numerous earlier heaven supreme martial arts and combining earlier heaven with later heaven was the foundation of the world able to exert its effects, enabling Chen Qianhua’s wounds to recover at a speed that was visible to the naked eye.
“I still wasn’t able to break through your Grand Simplicity Splendour Cloud…” Chen Qianhua was instead feeling rather regretful about another thing at this moment, “At a time like this, I find it rather a pity that I do not cultivate in the Heaven Opening Scripture.”
Wang Zhengcheng dared not hesitate as he hurriedly moved forward to stand between the two.
As Chen Qianhua had the foundation of the world, if he was not killed in a single move, he would potentially still be able to recover.
Still, thinking of Yan Di’s earlier sabre, Wang Zhengcheng was feeling a complete lack of confidence now.
The sabre of light in Yan Di’s hands faded, returning to formlessness.
Yan Di glanced coldly at Chen Qianhua and Wang Zhengcheng before heading south as he did not linger.
His mind was still on Xue Chuqing whose life was hanging in the balance. Every second counted.
Aside from Wang Zhengcheng, Chen Qianhua, the black-clothed Brocade Emperor and the Heaven Emperor, the other side would definitely have someone who had been sent to deal with Xu Chuqing.
Watching Yan Di’s departing figure, Wang Zhengcheng inhaled deeply, preparing to follow.
While Yan Di’s sabre had left him incomparably shocked, Wang Zhengcheng would definitely do his best for the sake of his mission even if he was put at risk of dying as a result.
“You can pursue him. He probably cannot unleash consecutive sabres of that kind,” Chen Qianhua chuckled, “Still, I cannot say for sure just how long that would be.”
Wang Zhengcheng looked at Chen Qianhua, “Upper Exalt, you…”
“I’ve already had enough fun today. The Yan father and son really are extraordinary,” Before the other party could finish speaking, Chen Qianhua laughed and soared off into the distance.
Wang Zhengcheng sighed towards the heavens. Now, he suddenly sensed something.
He turned to look in another direction. There, all-encompassing light suddenly surged amidst space.
Amidst the splendid light, two figures clashed as they approached this battlefield.
These were none other than Yan Zhaoge and the black-clothed Brocade Emperor!
While Yan Zhaoge was unable to shake off the black-clothed Brocade Emperor, the latter was unable to truly obstruct him too as he was only able to delay him. The two of them fought as they travelled. Fog Tea Mountain was not far away from the central Jun Heaven Territory in the first place as their battle had already brought them here now.
On seeing this, Wang Zhengcheng’s heart sunk even further.
History's Strongest Senior Brother Chapter 1155: The heavens crush the earth!
HSSB1155: The heavens crush the earth!
Yan Zhaoge executed the Cyclic Heavenly Seal, pressuring the black-clothed Brocade Emperor into retreat once more.
Then, he scanned the vast area before him, “Creation Sabre…foundation of the world…”
Some remnant traces of the battle that had just taken place could barely be distinguished by him.
“It looks like you weren’t able to stop my father?” Yan Zhaoge gazed at the Earth Exalt Wang Zhengcheng, “Where is Upper Chen? Has he gone to pursue my father?”
Wang Zhengcheng sighed, saying not a word as he prepared to head north.
Yan Zhaoge’s figure flickered as he intercepted him, “Since the Earth Exalt was unable to stop my father, this Yan will be asking you to stay where you are.”
Since his father had been able to break free of his encirclement before he had arrived, Yan Zhaoge did not have to worry about him.
Instead, if he was able to tie up both the black-clothed Brocade Emperor and the Earth Exalt Wang Zhengcheng here, there would be fewer variables over at Yan Di’s side as Xue Chuqing would be in a safer position.
“I have already upheld my side of the agreement to my fullest abilities, Earth Exalt,” The black-clothed Brocade Emperor still had a calm expression on his face, just that he was gazing at Yan Zhaoge solemnly and warily.
“It is fine, Brocade Emperor. It was this old man who made a miscalculation, never having thought that the cultivation bases of our opponents might actually rise once more within a mere few years.”
Wang Zhengcheng nodded to the black-clothed Brocade Emperor in greeting before turning to look at Yan Zhaoge with a complex expression on his face, “Yan Family father and son, Duo Fallen Deities they are…Southern Nie’s words were definitely not false praise.”
“It is indeed a cause for rejoice that Daoism was still able to produce talents like you father and son following the Great Calamity.”
“A pity, a pity. If your f
ather had not married the Snow Crane that year, if you had not inherited the legacy of the Dim Radiant Emperor back then, how great it would have been.”
His hands behind his back, Yan Zhaoge said mildly, “These words of yours are pretty much pointless now, Elder Wang.”
“You speak rightly, Fallen Deity. This old man was just feeling emotional at how fate makes a fool of us all, with Dim Radiant Yin and Bright Connection Hu having left behind endless venomous perils,” Wang Zhengcheng sighed.
“Whatever you say, Elder Wang,” Yan Zhaoge said nonchalantly, “This Yan will still do what I am going to do regardless.”
“For example, I very much feel like killing you now.”
While Yan Zhaoge’s tone was relaxed, his killing intent was not concealed in the least as it coldly penetrated deep into their core.
The Earth Exalt Wang Zhengcheng had lived for several thousand years, having experienced many momentous events in his life and overcome countless crises of life and death.
Still, this was the very first time Wang Zhengcheng was seeing someone so young openly speaking of killing him.
The crucial thing was that while the other party was only a late Immortal Bridge Martial Saint, Wang Zhengcheng had to acknowledge that this was not mere blustering as it was an actual death threat!
From how even the black-clothed Brocade Emperor was actually unable to defeat Yan Zhaoge, Wang Zhengcheng knew that even with the Yin Yang Earth Mountain River Diagram to help him, he might still be slain by Yan Zhaoge on the spot if he was careless.
“Does the Earth Exalt think that we father and son are good to bully?” Yan Zhaoge gazed coldly at Wang Zhengcheng.
Wang Zhengcheng shook his head, “How would I dare.”
He had hoped to keep Yan Zhaoge and Yan Di from finding out about this matter as he wiped Xue Chuqing off the face of this earth with none the wiser.
No one would know what had befallen Xue Chuqing afterwards as Yan Zhaoge and Yan Di would believe that she was still roaming about somewhere.
Seeking out Xue Chuqing would not be easy as it would inevitably cause a disturbance. Wang Zhengcheng and co knew that Yan Zhaoge and Yan Di were looking for her too and would definitely respond if they realised that they were up to something.
Therefore, they had utilised numerous means, borrowing the commotions at the Heavenly Mysteries Pavilion and the Royal Reed Sea to occupy their attention as they secretly made their move.
Sadly for him, Yan Zhaoge’s lot had reacted very quickly to this.
Surpassing Wang Zhengcheng’s predictions even more was how their strength had skyrocketed within a short period of time such that their manpower had correspondingly been compromised.
While Wang Zhengcheng had still not given up yet, it looked like they were already on the cusp of failure.
Even as he floated amidst space, a frenetic Wang Zhengcheng could not help but gaze towards the World beyond Worlds before him.
“Where are you looking at, Earth Exalt?” Yan Zhaoge’s figure suddenly enveloped his field of vision.
The next moment, a palm descended from the heavens!
Wang Zhengcheng inhaled deeply as a powerful force suddenly erupted from his old body!
He made a fist stance with his left hand, pulling it back deeply before clenching it into a fist and punching outwards.
Beneath that punch, streams of subtle qi surged from the acupoints of his body, vaguely condensing as an illusory figure.
Enveloped by that illusory figure, Wang Zhengcheng’s fist seemed to turn into something that resembled a banner whilst also an axe!
Where his fist passed, dim space broke apart with a brilliant light being emitted and boundless thick earth appearing that existed between earlier and later heaven.
It was not that the heavens had collapsed and were falling at this moment.
Instead, the great earth was rising!
The heavy earth was rising unceasingly to the same height as the heavens, even seemingly seeking to shove upwards at the sky it until it shattered!
Qilin Peak’s direct lineage supreme martial art, Yin Yang Earth Heaven Breaking Hammer!
Wang Zhengcheng had a conservative personality as he had simply defended when battling Yan Di earlier in order to delay him.
Facing Yan Zhaoge at this moment, having turned from the interceptor into the intercepted, this oldest Martial Saint of the World beyond Worlds cared not about stability at this moment as he unleashed his most powerful killing move from the get go.
The Yin Yang Earth Mountain River Diagram expanded, the numerous layers of Yin Yang Earth Spirit Soil combining with the great earth formed of Wang Zhengcheng’s fist-intent with a vast increment in power resulting.
Bolstered by an Immortal Artifact, this punch of Wang Zhengcheng’s was something that even an Emperor would have to take seriously.
Yan Zhaoge simply ignored this as he unleashed his Cyclic Heavenly Seal just like that!
As they collided, it was like the heavens and earth had respectively sunk and risen simultaneously, approaching the centre together before smashing each other mightily!
“This is, Reversing Creation?!” Wang Zhengcheng’s expression suddenly changed, “A Martial Saint can manifest the variation of Reversing Creation of the Cyclic Heavenly Seal?”
The collision of the heavens and the earth shockingly ended with the heavens crushing the earth!
Of the Earlier Heaven Three Scriptures of the Jade Clear lineage’s Primordial Heavenly Scriptures, the Heaven Opening Scripture possessed the greatest power in a head-on fight, surpassing the Cyclic Heavenly Scripture somewhat.
The Yin Yang Earth Heaven Breaking Hammer of the Earthly Sovereign’s lineage originated from the Heaven Opening Scripture as out of water, fire, wind and earth that were established by the scripture, the variation of earth had then been specifically worked on and developed.
Still, the superiority of martial arts was one thing and the superiority of the people executing them was another.
Yan Zhaoge’s attainments in the Cyclic Heavenly Scripture surpassed even that of many experts of the Immortal realm as with this supreme martial art cultivated to such a profound realm, he was naturally able to exert a terrifying might which far surpassed martial practitioners of the same cultivation level as well!
Even with the Earth Exalt Wang Zhengcheng having cultivated in the Yin Yang Earth Heaven Breaking Hammer for many years, he was still hard pressed to withstand the might of Yan Zhaoge’s Cyclic Heavenly Seal at this moment!
The great earth was shattered ceaselessly while the heavens continued to collapse!
Seeing this, the black-clothed Brocade Emperor’s gaze flickered slightly as he flew to Yan Zhaoge’s side before pointing out towards him with a finger.
“Ha!” Yan Zhaoge exhaled, not moving his right hand as he raised his left hand, meeting the black-clothed Brocade Emperor’s Grand Commencement Divine Finger with the exact same Cyclic Heavenly Seal!
History's Strongest Senior Brother Chapter 1156: Yan Zhaoge goes 1v2
HSSB1156: Yan Zhaoge goes 1v2
Yan Zhaoge simultaneously executed two Cyclic Heavenly Seals, opposing the black-clothed Brocade Emperor and the Earth Exalt Wang Zhengcheng.
On one side was the Grand Clear direct lineage’s Grand Commencement Divine Finger of the Grand Cosmos Five Manifestations that was formless and boundlessly subtle.
On the other was the Jade Clear direct lineage’s Yin Yang Earth Heaven Breaking Hammer of Qilin Cliff’s lineage which was vigorous, mighty and tyrannical.
As a ninth level Martial Saint, Yan Zhaoge was rampantly battling one against two at this moment!
His body shook slightly at first. Still, the twin qis of yin and yang soon appeared above his head, intermingling as they circulated.
As the two extremities of yin and yang shifted, the black-clothed Brocade Emperor and Wang Zhengcheng simultaneously sensed their attacks being affected.
“Yin Yang Heavenly Scripture!
The two realised with a start where the problem lay.
Possessing the Yin Yang Heavenly Scripture and having a considerably high level of proficiency in it, Yan Zhaoge did not fear being attacked by multiple enemies.
This was unless his opponents were able to dispel the profundities of the Yin Yang Heavenly Scripture or one of them greatly surpassed him in strength, being able to occupy most of his attention.
Yin and yang above his head, treading on Taiji, Yan Zhaoge used himself as a wheel and spun abruptly.
The Yin Yang Heavenly Scripture and the Taiji Yin Yang Palm were executed simultaneously as the concept of the Cyclic Heavenly Scripture was integrated within by Yan Zhaoge as well.
The heavens and earth were reversed as he spun, shockingly guiding Wang Zhengcheng’s Yin Yang Earth Heaven Breaking Hammer towards the black-clothed Brocade Emperor!
Meanwhile, the black-clothed Brocade Emperor’s Grand Commencement Divine Finger was directed towards Wang Zhengcheng and the Yin Yang Earth Mountain River Diagram!
With the cultivation bases of the Brocade Emperor and Wang Zhengcheng, the power behind their attacks could naturally not be used to harm they themselves.
Yet, their attacks were clearly swerving towards each other at this moment.
They were not deviating in terms of direction. Instead, it was their principles that were deviating.
It was as if them attacking Yan Zhaoge previously had actually been a feint as their true intended targets had really been each other in the first place.
Now, the mirages were peeled away as reality had resumed.
Wishing to change this reality, the black-clothed Brocade Emperor and Wang Zhengcheng could only retract their stances and terminate the attack.
Still, the black-clothed Brocade Emperor had a calm expression on his face as he remained unmoved.
He was someone who had the ability to dispel the profundities of the Yin Yang Heavenly Scripture.
He executed the Grand Commencement Divine Finger with one hand as fishes of yin and yang combined on his other palm, transforming into a Taiji diagram and circulating rapidly.
Fuelled by the true intent of the Taiji Yin Yang Palm, the black-clothed Brocade Emperor’s Grand Commencement Divine Finger instantly broke free from the influence of Yan Zhaoge’s Yin Yang Heavenly Scripture as it was directed towards Yan Zhaoge once more.
