That was a teenage man clad in black, wearing a white robe. His long jet-black hair extended to his back.
His features were similar to the Dim Radiant Emperor – Yin Tianxia that Yan Zhaoge was familiar with.
Only, contrary to the familiar impression Yin Tianxia left behind, this man seemed much younger.
Simultaneously, in Yan Zhaoge’s memories, although Yin Tianxia’s long hair was jet-black as well, his brows were pure white.
Meanwhile, this young man’s brows were black.
However, the pair of powerful and tranquil eyes filled with distinguishing features was no different from what Yan Zhaoge and the others remembered.
“I know that being late constantly is a bad habit, especially when I’ve been late for hundreds of years this time.” The white-dressed woman slowly lost the strength to support her head. Her neck bent lower and lower, “But, I promise, this will be the last time.”
“Baichuan, I’m coming.”
Her voice became barely audible until it was cut off.
The white-dressed woman sat stiffly on the spot, her head lowered, with her aura ceasing to exist any longer.
The Bright Connection Emperor – Hu Yuexin, ultimately perished within the Starry River Tributary’s spatial dimension.
Within the light projection, her corpse slowly transformed, and radiances shot out from within.
Vigorous vigor broke out, and eventually, her figure disappeared, leaving a sprout of tree on the spot. Branches slowly sprouted, which ultimately formed a towering Divine Tree.
Yan Zhaoge and Feng Yunsheng both stood on the spot while witnessing everything, remaining silent throughout the entire process.
After a long while, the two bowed down towards the Canghua Divine Tree.
“That’s the Dim Radiant Emperor?” asked Feng Yunsheng softly.
“Yes.” Yan Zhaoge silently answered, “Yin Baichuan is the Dim Radiant Emperor’s original name. After he inherited the position of the Dim Radiant Sect’s sect master, he changed his name to Yin Tianxia.”
He turned his head and looked towards Chen Qianhua with his glaring cold eyes.
“You’re satisfied with just this alone?” Chen Qianhua’s expression was filled with slight disdain, “Being filled with uncertainty would be the greatest joy of living. If you already knew everything, what fun would remain?”
Yan Zhaoge coldly said, “Some people and some matters aren’t made for your entertainment purpose. Who are you to do such a thing?”
History's Strongest Senior Brother Chapter 1399 - Joint Ambush
Chen Qianhua’s slothful expression faded. His eyes became energetic, and he stared at Yan Zhaoge, “Yan Zhaoge, you’re a special person, but sometimes your thinking is way too conservative.”
“Are you willing to carry out such a plain life? That’s really…”
Before he could finish speaking, Yan Zhaoge had already made his move!
Through the layer of space, Yan Zhaoge used his fingers as his sword and stabbed it towards Chen Qianhua.
The horrifying dark-red sword-light tore through the fabrics of space, unfazed by space itself, and reached the front of Chen Qianhua.
Chen Qianhua remained on the spot. He extended both his hands forward and brought them towards his center.
A whirlpool was formed by the water screens that obstructed space, intending to lock Yan Zhaoge’s Immortal Trapping sword-light away.
As the water screens surged, the Canghua Divine Tree, which was half-drenched within, was carried away.
Half of the tree trunk branches which weren’t drenched remained at the same spot.
However, the other half drenched in water was affected by space itself and was being drawn apart.
Despite being extremely sturdy, under the distortion of two different spaces, the towering divine tree seemed like it was about to be torn apart.
Yan Zhaoge remained expressionless. He extended his other hand and pressed it on the Canghua Divine Tree’s trunk.
His time and space allowed the Canghua Divine Tree to regain its balance. At the very least, it wouldn’t be split in half by the distortion of space.
Chen Qianhua took the opportunity to retreat.
“I’ve already fought against you once. There’s no need for another round.” He said indifferently, “My goal here was to witness your disappointed expression. Yet, you’ve already seen through it beforehand.”
“Next time, let’s have fun with other sources of entertainment…”
As Chen Qianhua was talking, Yan Zhaoge strode forward!
He slashed a dark-red sword-light with his left hand and used the opportunity to pull his right hand back.
The sword-light sliced through the water screen, and Yan Zhaoge pulled the entire Canghua Divine Tree out of the water.
Under such an influence, the Canghua Divine Tree’s entire body was trembling intensely. Yan Zhaoge immediately moved his fingers and knocked them on the tree trunk.
The Jade Clear Aeon Light Heavenly Scripture and the Spatial Heavenly Scripture’s profundities were both released together, which immediately soothed the sudden changes brought about by its environment.
With a wave of his hand, the entire Canghua Divine Tree was pulled out of the ground.
The ground below was merely formed by the water streams.
After leaving the water streams, the entire Canghua Divine Tree seemed to have lost its nutrients and vaguely had a wilting sign.
However, Yan Zhaoge continuously flicked his fingers, and rays of brilliance flew out. They carried a part of the water streams and circulated the Canghua Divine Tree’s root system.
At the same time, Yan Zhaoge’s left hand unleashed another sword attack. Wherever the red lights passed, water screens would be slashed apart.
Yan Zhaoge’s figure continued moving forward. Under his control over the space, the Canghua Divine Tree shrunk and was placed into Yan Zhaoge’s right pocket.
Meanwhile, he continued walking forward. He stepped through the void with one step and descended upon the space which Chen Qianhua was located.
However, in the instant that Yan Zhaoge entered this space, various horrifying auras suddenly surged!
At the same time, Feng Yunsheng, who had been silently guarding Yan Zhaoge, also moved.
Within her eyes, blue-black devilish flames shone brightly. She strode forward and stayed beside Yan Zhaoge. She also entered the space.
More than a majestic, grand, yet ethereal sonorous voice of the great dao resounded. They clashed against each other and canceled each other’s effects.
Within the enemy’s ambush, there was a Grand Virtual Immortal.
Light and shadows overlapped each other. As they wavered, silhouettes appeared.
The man in the lead was wearing a golden crown and clad in a light yellow Daoist robe. His face was crimson red, and his beard grew from one side of his cheek. He was the previous Li Xingba.
Behind him stood his disciple – Gong Sunhui. Only, Gong Sunhui merely remained at the same spot.
Beside Li Xingba stood a White Crane. He was the Crane Race Small Saint that was previously fighting for the Three Brilliances Sacred Water.
At this moment, they joined together with Chen Qianhua and were working together to ambush Yan Zhaoge.
“You’re here for the Pill Hall, right?” Yan Zhaoge’s expression remained calm. He wasn’t caught by surprise at all.
Although they were all previously fighting for the Three Brilliances Sacred Water, something else possessed much more value in comparison.
In Gao Han’s previous instigation, the name “Young Heavenly Lord” was merely a part of it. The other part was also telling Li Xingba that Yan Zhaoge had control over the Heavenly Court’s Divine Palace’s Pill Hall.
Although the Pill Hall could shift on its own, Yan Zhaoge was currently venturing outside. The Pill Hall couldn’t follow him.
With this, wouldn’t seizing Yan Zhaoge equal to acquiring authoritative control ov
er the Pill Hall?
No matter if it was Li Xingba or the Crane Race Small Saint, neither of them could turn away from such temptation.
Even if the two weren’t familiar with each other, they had the reasons to work together now.
Now, borrowing Chen Qianhua’s strength, after learning that Yan Zhaoge could be coming here, they arrived to plan an ambush.
“How did they come in contact with Chen Qianhua? Right, it’s probably that Gao Han.”
Although Chen Quanhua had used all sorts of secret martial arts to erase their traces and even created a counterfeit recording of the Bright Connection Emperor, Yan Zhaoge and Feng Yunsheng still found out in the end.
As soon as he discovered it, Yan Zhaoge realized that unless Chen Quanhua had achieved Five Qis Unification and managed to step into the Virtual Immortal Realm, there would be Virtual Immortals currently supporting him.
Otherwise, with how knowledgeable Yan Zhaoge was and how high Feng Yunsheng’s cultivation was, Chen Qianhua wouldn’t have fooled them for so long no matter how skillful he was in terms of secret martial arts.
As such, Yan Zhaoge wasn’t surprised that other Virtual Immortals were laying an ambush around Chen Qianhua.
Only, he didn’t expect them to be Li Xingba and the lot.
However, after thinking for a while, Yan Zhaoge understood that the connection between the two was Gao Han.
However, he ignored Li Xingba and the others’ existence and continued going after Chen Qianhua.
Feng Yunsheng had been quietly standing, solely because she was on guard against Li Xingba and the others.
Black devilish flames arose once again, hindering her opponent’s path.
Yan Zhaoge continued forward. He stepped through the fabrics of space and reached the front of Chen Qianhua.
He pressed his palm downwards. Chen Qianhua smiled at him, with no signs of resistance at all.
“
Huh?
” Yan Zhaoge frowned. He clasped his fingers and immediately shattered Chen Qianhua’s body apart!
However, when the body shattered apart, a huge pearl appeared within Yan Zhaoge’s palm.
“Phantom Mirage Pearl?” Yan Zhaoge’s eyes flashed slightly, “You have such a treasure?”
Within the pearl, Chen Qianhua’s projection appeared. He smiled slothfully, “I just wanted to witness your reaction after watching the final moments of the Bright Connection Emperor that I created. I’ll be fine just watching it. I don’t necessarily have to be present there.”
The one present was merely a clone created by the Phantom Mirage Pearl. His original body had never even entered the Starry River Tributary.
“See you next time.” Chen Qianhua waved his hand at Yan Zhaoge, and the figure within the pearl slowly faded.
“Just like that?” Yan Zhaoge stared at the pearl, and a snicker appeared on his face.
He held the pearl in his left hand and lifted his right index finger. Radiances swayed on his fingertip.
Then, he touched the pearl with his fingertip!
The pearl trembled slightly, but no harm was done to it.
However, within the boundless void outside of the Starry River Tributary, a shadow suddenly wavered.
A green-shirt teenager fell out from the void, and his initially pale complexion became even paler.
Chen Qianhua stood there for a long time. He opened his mouth and spat out a field of radiant mists as if he was spitting out blood.
His entire body resembled porcelain. The porcelain’s surface cracked open, with radiances gushing out from the cracks.
History's Strongest Senior Brother Chapter 1400 - The Immortal Realm Doesn't Welcome You!
Several hideous scars appeared on Chen Qianhua’s body. Within the scars, radiances continuously leaked out.
Within a space inside of the Starry River Tributary, Yan Zhaoge sneered, “I heard that you aren’t afraid of death? Then, do you mind this?”
As he talked, his finger landed on the Phantom Mirage Pearl once again.
Outside of the Starry River Tributary, Chen Qianhua’s original body shuddered once again, with more cracks appearing on the surface of his skin.
Within Chen Qianhua’s eyes, jade green radiances surged, and flickered for a few times, “… Floating Dawn Divinity Shattering Art? Such an unpopular secret martial art… No, it’s not purely Floating Dawn Divinity Shattering Art alone. I’m able to handle at least that much. Judging from the current situation, many other transformations were added within…”
“You’re truly knowledgeable.” Yan Zhaoge said coldly, “Only, you’re too foolish.”
After he finished speaking, his finger landed on the Phantom Mirage Pearl for the third time.
At the other side, Chen Qianhua’s entire body shuddered violently once again, inflicting greater injuries unto him.
Even if his original body were to clash against Yan Zhaoge, he wouldn’t end up in such a sorry state no matter if he ended up winning or losing.
This was equivalent to Chen Qianhua placing his neck over Yan Zhaoge’s knife. Without any way of refuting, he could only receive Yan Zhaoge’s attacks!
Most importantly, his current injuries weren’t only limited to his body or soul.
Those were the Wounds of Dao, which prevented Chen Qianhua from resonating or even receiving feedback from the world’s great dao.
As the Wounds of Dao grew, it slowly breached a certain limit and reached the stage where he could never hope to compensate for.
Under such a state, he would have no hopes of reaching the Profound Immortal Realm!
If he dared to challenge the Pure Profound Tribulation, he would only have one outcome – death.
And now, this was merely the beginning!
“The Immortal Realm doesn’t welcome you. Scram.” Yan Zhaoge erected two of his fingers and held his index finger and middle fingers together like a sword. Then, he used it to pierce the Phantom Mirage Pearl.
Chen Qianhua’s injuries had already reached a critical state. After receiving the attack fused with the Fallen Deity Sword, the Floating Dawn Divinity Shattering Art, and various other secret martial arts, his entire body experienced an unprecedented violent shudder.
Initially, his entire body was already filled with wounds. After receiving the attack, his entire body shattered apart like true porcelain, and his entire body was torn apart!
Within the dense cracks, radiances gushed out, thoroughly engulfing Chen Qianhua’s entire figure.
Layers of Immortal qi gushed out from within and started flying everywhere. Within the void’s boundless outskirts, storms were brewing.
After the storm calmed, and the radiances dissipated, Chen Qianhua’s figure reappeared.
His external appearance didn’t seem to have any changes.
However, soon after, a mouthful of blood spewed out from his mouth.
Pure blood.
Blood that belongs to mortals.
A peerless prodigy who ascended to the Immortal Realm within two hundred years old, one of the few teenage True Immortals, was kicked out of the Immortal Door by Yan Zhaoge. His cultivation drastically dropped, and he returned to the Martial Saint Realm!
He became frail, and his skin was even paler. He muttered, “Yan Zhaoge…”
Chen Qianhua didn’t prioritize his cultivation like other martial art cultivators.
To him, it was more of an insurance for his amusement.
Initially, he felt that his True Immortal cultivation was insufficient to locate Yan Zhaoge, Yan Di, Gao Han, Nie Jingshen, and the others. As such, he decided to ascend to the Profound Immortal Realm.
And yet, his current cultivation had fallen from the Immortal Realm, and he was kicked back to the Martial Saint Realm!
No matter how indifferent Chen Qianhua acted towards his cultivation realm, he still felt a little agitated.
Resentment and aggrievement caused by the sense of loss for being unable to accomplish his wish.
Chen Q
ianhua floated around the boundless void like a floating corpse. With his mind muddled, he was blown away by the stellar winds and disappeared into the darkness.
Within the Starry River Tributary, Yan Zhaoge coldly stared at the Phantom Mirage Pearl that ultimately broke apart. He flung his hand, and the pearl’s crushed powders scattered away.
On the other side, Feng Yunsheng fended off Li Xingba and the Crane Race Small Saint independently. The two Virtual Immortals were unable to get past her.
As Gong Sunhui watched Yan Zhaoge shatter the Phantom Mirage Pearl and looked towards him, he felt a chill down his spine.
He wasn’t aware of the condition of Chen Qianhua. However, his previous experience of losing to Yan Zhaoge and being suppressed haunted him even until now.
Li Xingba and the Crane Race Small Saint were forced into retreat. They both looked at Feng Yunsheng with wariness.
Although the current Feng Yunsheng wasn’t as overbearing as when she had the Duo Flowers Converged Crown, they were still rendered unable to do anything.
“No matter what, we’re all of the Three Clear Lineage. And yet, you’re willing to let Chen Qianhua do whatever he wants to?” Yan Zhaoge swept his gaze over Li Xingba and Gong Sunhui.
He pointed below, “Daoist Li, the Bright Connection Emperor buried here is undoubtedly a junior to you. However, thanks to the efforts of the Bright Connection Emperor, she managed to snatch the Heavenly Essence Stone fragment coveted by the Immortal Court, which allowed our orthodox Daoism a chance of flourishment.”
“If the Immeasurable Heavenly Lord acquired the complete Heavenly Essence Stone, us Daoism successors might all be forcefully illuminated by him!”
“Indeed, you’re a forebearer that achieved Dao during the Ancient era. However, without ascending to the Grand Heavenly Immortal Realm, you would face such risks as well. Even if you turtle deep within the void’s boundless outskirts and cease from meddling with mortal affairs, you would still be involved within.”
Yan Zhaoge said sternly, “How could you let Chen Qianhua humiliate such a person, that sacrificed herself for the sake of our orthodox Daoism? Even Chen Qianhua himself receives benefits.”
