His voice turned magnificent and ingenious as if a divine voice had descended from the Nine Heavens.
At this moment, although Li Xingba had yet to make a move, a shapeless all-encompassing sonorous voice of the great dao came rushing towards Yan Zhaoge.
In that instant, Yan Zhaoge felt as if his entire soul and body were being suppressed together as if he was entering a senseless state where he couldn’t speak, move, or think.
Gao Han, Daoist Chilan, Gong Sunhui, and Feng Yunsheng beside him seemed to have vanished within his sight.
Only Li Xingba’s body remained in the world.
His figure displayed two contradicting extremities.
As the sonorous voice of the great dao resounded, his physique seemed to have enlarged into a towering figure. It filled Yan Zhaoge’s sight completely. Li Xingba’s physique seemed to be omnipresent, capable of shaking one’s soul.
However, it also seemed to be flying far away from Yan Zhaoge. It slowly shrunk and seemed to be extremely far away.
In the next instant, the sight in front of Yan Zhaoge gradually disappeared, as if his vision had also been extracted from him. He couldn’t think and couldn’t see anymore.
His entire body seemed to have lost its intelligence and sense, just like a wooden doll that could only remain by the spot.
The liveliness within Yan Zhaoge’s eyes gradually dispersed.
Gong Sunhui sneered, and his expression was filled with disdain.
Daoist Crimson Mist helplessly shook his head. He sighed and remained silent.
Gao Han looked towards Feng Yunsheng with a curious expression.
Feng Yunsheng had remained silent ever since she came here. At this moment, no changes were present in her expression. She merely quietly stood on the spot, as if she was oblivious of what was happening around her.
However, saying that she didn’t notice anything was a huge joke.
Even so, there were two explanations for her reaction.
First, she didn’t care about how Yan Zhaoge was.
Second, she didn’t think that the matters happening would affect Yan Zhaoge in any way…
As Gao Han was still thinking, he saw Yan Zhaoge’s soulless eyeballs suddenly move.
For a moment, Yan Zhaoge’s body seemed to have turned into a lifeless statue. Now, it was filled with life, vitality, and intelligence once again.
“No need to be so loud, Daoist Li. I can hear you.” Not only did Yan Zhaoge recover his liveliness, he even intentionally moved his neck around with a relaxed expression.
Without any obstructions, his palm continued descending towards Gong Sunhui!”
Li Xingba’s pupils suddenly shrank, “Sonorous sound of the great dao has no effects on him?”
His disciple – Gong Sunhui’s smile was petrified. His entire expression turned sour, “Even I have difficulties handling it, and yet someone that had just ascended to the Immortal Realm is capable of doing so?”
It should be known that Li Xingba had retracted his sonorous voice and merely concentrated it on Yan Zhaoge alone. It didn’t spread towards the others.
Otherwise, since Gong Sunhui was in the Profound Immortal Realm, even he would suffer from his master’s sonorous voice of the great dao.
Although he wouldn’t be petrified on the spot like other True Immortals or even Martial Saints, his actions would be hindered, and this train of thoughts would be slower.
Daoist Crimson Mist’s expression was also filled with shock. He started analyzing Yan Zhaoge from head to toe.
“This young man is truly something…” Although his previous words were merely used for courteous purposes, he now believed what Gao Han had said.
A smile appeared on Gao Han’s face, and his gaze brightened a little, “Does he have a treasure? Or, is it because he cultivated some sort or even multiple supreme martial arts? Or is it all of them?”
Seeing how the sonorous voice of the great dao couldn’t hold Yan Zhaoge back, Li Xingba immediately raised his hand. Layers of yellow dust rose and blotted the skies. They then came descending towards Yan Zhaoge.
However, at the same time, another black flame demonic qi glittering with dark blue radiances arose. As a saber light flickered, it instantly blocked the yellow clouds of dust.
Li Xingba looked towards the saber and noticed that Feng Yunsheng, who had always been quietly standing beside Yan Zhaoge, had made her move.
The horrifying jet-black saber light slashed apart the yellow dusts.
On the other side, Yan Zhaoge raised his hand. As his palm flipped, it came descending towards Gong Sunhui with the momentum capable of collapsing the skies.
“
Oh?
” An expert could tell how strong his opponent’s attacks were. Seeing Yan Zhaoge’s descending palm, Gong Sunhui immediately felt that something was off. He immediately retracted all the pride and scornfulness he previously had.
He couldn’t avoid it in time and barely managed to raise his hand to block Yan Zhaoge’s Cyclic Heavenly Seal.
In that instant, he felt as if layers of shapeless void were surrounding him. These voids seemed to have transformed into tangible ubiquitous worlds, which came collapsing towards its center!
And he, Gong Sunhui, was currently standing in that center!
The place he stood seemed to be the boundary between heaven and earth, the connecting point between yin and yang.
The myriad of matters and objects presented a contrasting state, with everything possessing two sides of everything. Then, they started distorting at the center where he was standing!
Standing within it, Gong Sunhui only felt that a terrifying and humongous power was fanatically crashing against his body.
“Jade Clear Cyclic Heavenly Seal?! Is this a Cyclic Heavenly Seal that a True Immortal can cast?” Gong Sunhui was baffled.
With Duo Qis Fused Aura and Immortal Aura imbued within his body, he could hardly be harmed by a True Immortal.
If it wasn’t for that, Gong Sunhui felt as if he was placed within the center of a grinder formed by the heavens and earth, getting crushed into a powdered state.
However, even if it wasn’t dangerous for him, he was currently unable to move. Yan Zhaoge’s strength thoroughly restricted his movements, and he was rendered unable to move at all!

Gong Sunhui was unable to move after being oppressed by Yan Zhaoge’s palm.
On the other side, Li Xingba was furious. Facing Feng Yunsheng’s jet-black saber, he took out a square-edged golden swordbreaker [1] and immediately plummeted it towards the opponent.
However, horrifying dark radiances skyrocketed from Feng Yunsheng’s saber, and its momentum seemed like it was about to break the square-edged golden swordbreaker apart!
As the two weapons clashed against each other, Li Xingba’s hand shuddered. From where the saber intent had passed, he felt an extremely horrifying intent that was about to annihilate and end anything and everything.
As the black saber clashed against the squared-edge golden mace, a small part of his swordbreaker was chipped off.
The saber continued forward and attempted to cut the golden mace apart as if it was merely slicing a piece of tofu!
Li Xingba was greatly shocked. He immediately retracted his weapon and retreated. Then, he yelled, “Receive my attack!”
A ray of dark-yellow radiance clump came crashing against Feng Yunsheng.
A dark yellow pearl was shrouded within the radiance. As the radiance flickered, its momentum seemed capable of splitting the earth apart.
It was Li Xingba’s treasure – the Earth Splitting Pearl. This treasure originated from the earth and was explicitly used to break through the phenomenon of Earth. Even if a vast and sturdy field of the earth laid in front of it, the earth would still break apart no matter what.
Feng Yunsheng’s saber continued forward and slashed towards that Earth Splitting
Pearl. Suddenly, a horrifying vibration was released from the pearl.
Using the earth’s tremble and distortion to tear the earth apart, it incited an earthquake. Using earth to counter earth was the Earth Splitting Pearl’s specialty.
However, as Feng Yunsheng’s saber traced across, it immediately slashed apart the power used to tremble the earth. The earthquake suddenly vanished, as if nothing had happened!
Brilliances appeared atop Li Xingba’s head. Using his full force, he managed to retract the pearl barely.
He was both anxious and furious; his entire face turned sour.
Seeing how even his own master wasn’t able to rescue him, Gong Sunhui’s heart sank. At the same time, he became much calmer as well.
Although he had been secluding along with his master most of the time, his ability to achieve his current cultivation was thanks to all the hardships he had endured.
Facing Yan Zhaoge’s Cyclic Heavenly Seal, Gong Sunhui clenched his fist and swung it below him, as if he was swinging an indestructible golden mace.
A powerful shock spread outwards and clashed against the illusory world created by Yan Zhaoge’s fist.
Cyclic Heavenly Seal, capable of turning the entire world apart, capable of reversing the majestic forces of two extremities together, making it hard to defend against.
Meanwhile, Gong Sunhui attempted to attack from the insides. He broke through the earth, which resulted in one of the extremities losing itself. With this, the horrifying force would lose its balance, thus allowing his victory.
Although his idea was rich, the reality was harsh.
Yan Zhaoge’s other hand came from downwards, his palm filled with the momentum of extreme yang. As yin and yang circulated, a vibration immediately caused Gong Sunhui’s fist to strike into thin air.
Gong Sunhui’s heart tightened. At this moment, the space he was in was constantly being compressed, as if he was a plaything within Yan Zhaoge’s palm. In his sight, Yan Zhaoge was like a towering giant figure.
Yan Zhaoge clasped his palms together and cast the Cyclic Heavenly Seal with both his hands. In that instant, Gong Sunhui wasn’t able to move once again.
As for Feng Yunsheng, after forcing back Li Xingba’s Earth Splitting Pearl, she strode forward, and he horrifying saber continued slashing towards Li Xingba!
Li Xingba didn’t dare to receive the attack and was forced to retreat. However, time and space didn’t seem to exist in the face of Feng Yunsheng. In the next instant, the jet-black saber-light reached Li Xingba.
“Please have mercy, fellow Daoist.” Daoist Crimson Mist quickly assisted Li Xingba. Layers of illusory red mists surged and obstructed Feng Yunsheng’s saber.
However, the jet-black saber-light continued forward, slashing the red mists apart.
“Could this be the Chaos Extinguishing Origin Scripture?!” Daoist Crimson Mist was shocked, while Li Xingba’s face was a mess, “It shouldn’t be. However, it’s quite eerie as well. It’s just like the legendary final Ancestral Devil which possessed the same authority as the Lord of Numinous Treasure!”
With the saber held within her hand, blue-black flames flickered within her eyes, and her evil qi filled the entire atmosphere.
“Old Man Li, you’re looking too much into this. Daoist Yan naturally has his exceptional parts. Even if you don’t believe my evaluation, you should still believe the Southern Extremity Longevity Emperor, right?” Gao Han smiled and shook his head. Then, he continued, “As for how True Immortal’s Immortal qi couldn’t contend against Virtual Immortal’s Immortal Aura, that’s fine. I didn’t invite Daoist Yan over to let him make a move personally. Daoist Yan’s accomplishments in formations truly made even I astonished.”
“Moreover, Daoist Feng is also a prodigy that bore exceptional talents. Speaking of it, she had already held back.”
Gao Han chuckled and cupped his hands, “Please believe me this time, Old Man Li.”
Li Xingba’s face darkened. While breathing heavily, he stared at Feng Yunsheng for a while and helplessly said, “It’s my mistake. I shouldn’t have underestimated them.”
“Do calm down as well, Young Heavenly Lord.” Gao Han looked towards Yan Zhaoge and said in a kind tone, “We’re still uncertain of Traveling Monk Hui An’s condition, and a slight delay might make us lose our opportunity to act. Let’s quickly go there first and make some preparations beforehand. That will surely greatly increase our chances for success, right?”
The space within Yan Zhaoge’s hand seems to have condensed a small spatial void, which had forcefully compressed a Profound Immortal like Gong Sunhui within. He was shrunk into a ball and couldn’t even extend his legs.
“You’re exaggerating, Exalted Solar Luminary. There’s nothing for me to be angry about.” Yan Zhaoge chuckled, “The one that will hold us back isn’t me after all.”
Li Xingba’s expression turned pale, “Hurry up and let him go!”
Yan Zhaoge stared at him, “I’ve always respected the elderlies. However, the premise is if the elderly is deserving of my respect.”
“Daoist Li, you seemed to have forgotten about this. Only your useless disciple and you bear a grudge against Traveling Monk Hui An. We’re merely here for the Three Brilliances Sacred Water. Receiving it would be our luck while losing it wouldn’t harm us in any way. If you don’t mind not taking revenge against your old enemy, you can be as carefree as us.”
A True Immortal calling a Profound Immortal useless.
If it were any other situation, others would undoubtedly laugh at such a statement.
However, at this moment, that True Immortal was suppressing Profound Immortal with ease. In such conditions, it was sufficient in proving such statements to be true.
At this moment, Yan Zhaoge was like a god that had descended upon the mortal realm. He captured Gong Sunhui and curled Gong Sunhui into a ball using his hands.
Although he was merely in the True Immortal Realm, such a scene was sufficient in shocking the crowd.
His entire body seemed to have become tall and towering beyond imagination.
“Before Daoist Li speaks, I would like to clarify something,” said Yan Zhaoge calmly. “Here, you’re not the one making decisions. The Exalted Solar Luminary is merely respecting you thanks to your seniority. That doesn’t mean that you’re the one making decisions here, so don’t act like the leader.”
Li Xingba’s face interchanged between a red and white expression. He wanted to just leave, but his disciple was still trapped within Yan Zhaoge’s hands.
Moreover, Yan Zhaoge’s words had struck a deep part within his heart.
In the past, he became an Investiture God thanks to Mu Zha. He remembered the vengeance even until now as if it was deeply embedded within his bones, making such vengeance hard to be dispersed.
“Daoist Li has no malicious intentions. He merely prioritized his grudge against Traveling Monk Hui a little too heavily. Due to his anxiousness, he made some mistakes and caused his temper to run amok. Please do forgive him for what he did.” Daoist Crimson Mist pulled Li Xingba’s sleeves and secretly sent some voice transmissions to convince Feng Yunsheng and Yan Zhaoge.

History's Strongest Senior Brother Chapter 1384 - Comply
With the wave of his hand, Yan Zhaoge managed to oppress Gong Sunhui, who was in the Profound Immortal Realm. This had truly bewildered Daoist Crimson Mist and Li Xingba.
It wasn’t until this very moment that they truly understood what Fallen Deity and Young Heavenly Lord implied.
Although Gong Sunhui merely had Duo Qis Fused Aura, he had been learning under Li Xingba for many years. Naturally, his techniques were far superior compared to others.
Although he didn’t originate from orthodox Daoism, he still reached his current height using all his efforts, which made him much stronger than the heretics.
And yet,
such a Tranquil Profound Immortal was captured by a Leakless True Immortal. The disparity between the two was apparent.
Although the situation had turned sour, Daoist Crimson Mist did not doubt that Gong Sunhui would have perished by Yan Zhaoge’s hands if he didn’t have the Duo Qis Fused Aura’s Immortal Aura protecting him.
On the other hand, Feng Yunsheng’s strength surprised them as well.
Contrary to Yan Zhaoge, Li Xingba and Daoist Crimson Mist had never doubted Feng Yunsheng before.
After all, they vaguely felt that Feng Yunsheng was the same as them. At the very least, she was an expert that had reached the Five Qis Unification level.
However, it wasn’t until Feng Yunsheng truly took action that Li Xingba realized how much he had underestimated her.
Even though he had made grand accomplishments during the Ancient Era and had experienced the transition of eras, he still wasn’t Feng Yunsheng’s opponent. In fact, he almost lost his treasure, and even his life as well.
Gao Han stated that Feng Yunsheng had already held back. Li Xingba and Daoist Crimson Mist had no doubts about this statement.
Previously, when Feng Yunsheng made her move, they could feel her self-restraint.
Under such circumstances, the outcome of the battle made Li Xingba embarrassed.
The red faced old man was petrified on the spot. He didn’t know whether to continue his journey or retreat.
“Daoist Crimson Mist, I know how sincere you are. However, you should be warier of who you befriend. You have tried your best to calm the situation, but who knows if this Daoist Li would comply with you or not? In fact, he might even harbor some hatred towards you.” said Yan Zhaoge as he chuckled.
His hands were still oppressing Gong Sunuhi as if he was merely toying with a useless object.
Seeing this, Daoist Crimson Mist smiled helplessly, “What are you saying, Young Heavenly Lord?”
Just as he felt helpless, a ray of chilly and bright moonlight flickered from the faraway pitch-black void and reached the crowd.
As the moonlight dispersed, the figure of a woman was shown. She was the Exalted Lunar Luminary – Ling Qing.
