History's Strongest Senior Brother c1-1474

  “This is…” The Blissful Devil Monarch was startled for a moment. He seemed to have remembered something.

  Without caring about the shocking factor, he continuously tapped his finger by the air. Rays of red lights descended, which continuously attempted to make the Blissful Myriad Devils Formation much sturdier.

  Yet, at that very moment, Yan Di strode forward once again!

  The Bright Qi filled with transformations of brightness, kindness, and forward-movingness wreathed around his body with this forward step.

  Then, a fourth kind arose, fusing with Yan di’s Immortal Aura!

  With Yan Di’s second step forward, he ascended to the Four Qis Profound Immortal, achieving the Tranquil peak Realm!

  With his step forward, Yan Di’s saber intent arose fanatically once again.

  The saber formed by the Grand Illusory Spatial Thunder adhered by Yan Di’s strength and came descending once again!

  With this attack, the enormous Blissful Myriad Devils Formation turned into a speck of dust in history. As the passage of time continued to flow, the speck of dust was then washed away by the inevitable transformations of creations!

  The saber-light broke through the large formation and headed towards the Blissful Devil Monarch. It forced the Devil Race bigwig into continuous retreat.

  “The insightful strength of eras interchanging, and the world transforming!” The Blissful Devil Monarch discarded all forms of doubt he held and yelled in surprise.

  After receiving Yan Di’s attack, he sensed the horrifying insightful strength of eras interchanging!

  Due to the Great Calamity, many people were used to classifying the Pre-Modern Era and the Modern Era into two different eras.

  Yet, strictly speaking, the two were considered as one era.

  The Blissful Devil Monarch was born during the pre-Great Calamity era. He had never truly experienced the true replacement of an era.

  However, with his current cultivation and his perception of the world’s laws, he was confident that the marvelous display of the interchanging eras was happening within Yan Di’s attack.

  A Grand Virtual Immortal could only live up to one hundred twenty-nine thousand and six hundred years, signifying one yuan [1].

  However, without the protection of a higher-up expert, a Virtual immortal would still perish by the era’s interchangement. Ultimately, they would perish along with the previous era and meet their ends.

  Although Yan Di’s attack didn’t injure the Blissful Devil Monarch, his Devilish Aura’s circulation slowed down, with signs of being stagnant.

  This was the influence caused by the eras interchanging and the ushering of a new age!

  These were the results of Yan Di’s continuous study and perfection of his saber arts throughout the past few years.

  Creation Saber, existing beyond the Extinguishing Heavens, re-accomplishing the arts of changing eras once again!

  The unique, profound, yet majestically domineering saber-intent allowed him to stand fearless against Grand Virtual experts with Five Qis Unifications even with his Tranquil Profound Immortal Realm!

  With a sharp gaze, Yan Di broke through the Blissful Myriad Devils Formation. His ferocious saber-light continuously slashed around non-stop, as if lightning were flashing across everyone’s eyes. The Great Devils of the same level as him and those beneath the Grand Virtual Realm were being slaughtered.

  “The youthful experts after the Great Calamity. Such an extraordinary person had emerged from the orthodox Three Clears Lineage.”

  A loud sigh resounded from afar. Then, more Nine Underworlds Great Devils arrived.

  After locating the Domain of Thousand Scales, and after confirming that Chen Xuanzong and Chu Lili were here, more and more Nine Underworlds experts started gathering here.

  Other than the Devil brawling against Feng Yunsheng, no other Grand Heavenly level Great Devils had appeared. It was apparent that others had halted them.

  Yet, relatively speaking, the Daoism Grand Heavenly Immortal experts were also being halted by other top-notch Great Devils comparable to the Wood Devil and the others.

  As such, more and more Nine Underworlds Devils managed to flee from them and infiltrated the area where the Domain of Thousand Scales was located.

  The one in the lead was a Devil with the Grand Virtual level cultivation.

  However, as the Great Devil swept his gaze across the battlefield, his heart sank.

  The four-headed and four-armed Devil Lord was being rendered powerless to defend against Gao Qingxuan’s attacks. While his fate of being vanquished had already been sealed, he was merely delaying it a little longer.

  Ling Qing was also oppressing the Devil Gigantopithecus, who became a Devil Monarch after reincarnating in the Nine Underworlds. While he remained furious, he was powerless to regain the upper-hand, nor could he close in to the Domain of Thousand Scales. He was retreating, which increased the distance between him and the domain.

  The Blissful Devil Monarch was even more powerless. He was rendered helpless in front of a Profound Immortal, with no way of retorting.

  Judging from his appearance, if he hadn’t achieved the Five Qis Unifications and had the Devilish Essence protecting him, he would’ve perished under Yan Di’s saber long ago.

  Yan Di, Gao Qingxuan, and Ling Qing firmly grasped onto their advantageous stance and casually massacred other Devils by the meantime.

  Despite amounting to an overwhelming number, the Great Devils could barely avoid the three’s attacks.

  Even if some managed to evade, Long Xingquan and Daoist Cloud Conquest ensured that no one would escape, which thoroughly trapped all the Great Devils within!

  The reinforcements that came afterward dared not underestimate the Daoism side anymore and quickly assisted other Great Devils.

  Only with the addition of a fourth Grand Virtual Level Devil Monarch joining the battlefield did Yan Di and the others feel a little pressured.

  It wasn’t that they couldn’t defeat the newcomer. Instead, under the circumstance where they were short-handed, they still had to prevent the Devils from closing in to the Domain of Thousand Scales.

  “Ji!” Upon sensing the change in the situation, Yan Di, Gao Qingxuan, Long Xingquan, and Daoist Cloud Conquest yelled in unison.

  Large numbers of formation artifacts flew towards the sky, automatically forming runes atop the four of their heads. Then, they quickly connected as one.

  As the Taiyi Imperial Breaking Formation appeared, white radiances skyrocketed, causing the surrounding dark devilish auras to be cleanly swept away.

  The formation remained on its spot, shielding the entire Domain of Thousand Scales within. The Great Devils that attempted to invade the domain had their heads bashed against the formation!

  [1] Rather than a currency, it meant 129600 years.

  Ling Qing was currently standing within the Taiyi Imperial Breaking Formation as well. As such, she had also received some assistance from the formation’s power.

  Gao Qingxuan and her were already at the Grand Virtual Realm. Despite receiving limited benefits from the formation, it still allowed their strength to experience improvement. When fighting against experts, a minor increment would result in gaining an advantage.

  As the vast formation operated, white radiances enshrouded the entire void. When the formation’s power circulated, the surrounding Devilish aura dissipated.

  For a moment, the Domain of Thousand Scales remained impregnable.

  Upon witnessing the formation’s effects, the Grand Immortal Level Devil brawling against Feng Yunsheng cast a dark underworld thunder upon the Taiyi Imperial Breaking Formation.

  Only, Feng Yunsheng had already anticipated his move. She slashed her saber horizontally, catching the dark thunder mid-air, preventing her opponent from pressurizing the formation.

  Yan Zhaoge merely stood by the Domain of Thousand Scales’ prancing streams o
f lights and looked towards the sky.

  He divided his attention into two parts. One was to assist Yan Di and the others in maintaining the formation, while the other kept the conditions of Chen Xuanzong and Chu Lili in check.

  Despite meticulously dealing with the Devils’ attacks, Yan Zhaoge had no room for relaxing.

  Yan Di’s attacks were fierce. However, he couldn’t possibly keep up with such domineering attacks for a long time.

  Those that erected the formation weren’t as vigorous as they previously were anymore. Fortunately, it also disposed of their worries, which allowed them to deal with their opponents much longer.

  However, Feng Yunsheng couldn’t possibly withstand a long battle.

  Not because she had low endurance, but because she had to prevent the Devilish Intent from corroding her.

  While a Grand Heavenly Level Doomsday Blade was sufficient in cleaning up the entire battlefield, Feng Yunsheng wasn’t mentally prepared to cross that boundary.

  “It all depends on who’s faster…” Yan Zhaoge stared at the void and muttered to himself.

  If they could first deal with the Water Devil’s threats, they could then retreat as they willed.

  If their opponents destroyed their defense line, all their effort put into dealing with the Water Devil might go to waste.

  Something worthy of being cautious about was that other Devils might arrive to assist as well, which would further pressurize their defense line.

  As Yan Zhaoge was pensive, his complexion suddenly changed, and he shifted his gaze towards another direction.

  There, as the void swayed, Devilish qi surged, presenting the appearance of a Great Devil.

  The Devil in the lead resembled a blood-red sphere. With the magnitude of a star, it was gloomily dark, sanguinary, and ominous.

  Beside him stood other Devils.

  The Grand Virtual Level Devil Monarch swept his gaze around the battlefield and said, “Chen Xuanzong and Chu Lili are both Jade Clear lineage’s successors. As someone of the Prime Clear lineage, why are you making things harder for us?”

  His voice reverberated throughout the battlefield. However, the complexion of Gao Qingxuan and Daoist Cloud Conquest remained unfazed.

  “The Three Clears were original of one anyway. Even if there were some cracks between us, that’s our familial matters. What’s wrong with working together to face our Daoism’s enemies?” Daoist Cloud Conquest said, “Besides, this matter is related to our benefits. I’m sure you’re aware of what position the Nine Underworlds Devils stands in the world. Hence, there’s no need to blabber about any longer.”

  “Let’s not mention the Three Clear Lineages, who are of the orthodox Daoism. Even Buddhism, the Demon Race, and the heretics had never turned a blind eye to your actions. If it wasn’t for that, as long as the Vast Freedom Heavenly Devil makes his appearance, we’ll all be rendered helpless.”

  The Devil Monarch that resembled a blood-red star said, “What you’ve said is indeed right. However, have you ever thought about how your Prime Clear lineage isn’t as prosperous as the Jade Clear lineage? If you were to experience more losses, you won’t even have any more authority within your Daoism faction.”

  He let out a queer laugh, “For the Jade Clear, the Grand Clear had even put their life on the line and harmed themselves in the process. Yet, ultimately, the Jade Clear still persecuted them in the end. Are you willing to accept such a fate?”

  “Such empty words. Are you saying that we’ll perish here? Let’s find out,” said Gao Qingxuan coldly.

  Then, she immediately attacked. Under the Taiyi Imperial Breaking Formation’s assistance, her attack immediately traversed through the void and slashed towards the blood-red star-looking Devil Monarch!

  “Such an impressive Prime Clear sword cultivator! What a prideful woman!” As the Devil Monarch let out a queer laugh, blood-lights enshrouded his body. More than hundreds of small dark stars circled his body, which blocked Gao Qingxuan’s sword-light.

  Gao Qingxuan stood pridefully, with no changes in her indifferent emotions. She continued protecting the Taiyi Imperial Breaking Formation.

  As long as she could protect Chen Xuanzong and Chu Lili, the victor today would be them.

  If the Water Devil failed to reincarnate and the Nine Underworlds’ plan failed, they would suffer a considerable blow.

  If she wanted to fight to the death against the blood-red star-looking Devil Monarch, she could do so in the future.

  “As expected, like teacher like disciple!” The Devil Monarch chuckled, and blood-radiances shook about.

  Hearing his words, Yan Zhaoge and the others felt a thump in their heart.

  Gao Qingxuan frowned, while Daoist Cloud Conquest’s attention shifted towards the blood-red star.

  “Indeed, they’re merely empty words. I can’t kill you with my words alone.” He laughed queerly, “However, there’s someone else’s life that I can take away as long as I wish to.”

  His entire physique suddenly turned invisible.

  Through the wreathing blood mists, a figure was seen within.

  Upon having a clear look at the person inside, Gao Qingxuan’s gaze turned cold.

  It was her master, the Vine Sovereign – Li Ying!

  Feng Yunsheng, Yan Di, and the others almost forgot how to breathe upon witnessing the sudden change in the situation.

  Just as Feng Yunsheng intended to take action, the Grand Heavenly Level Devil instantly closed in to the Domain of Thousand Scales, threatening its safety.

  Gao Qingxuan stared at the blood-red star, while Daoist Cloud Conquest’s expression became extremely stern as well.

  He secretly sent a voice transmission to Gao Qingxuan, “Is she real or fake?”

  Before Gao Qingxuan could answer, the blood-red star let out a queer chuckle. The blood mists turned thinner, showing the Vine Sovereign. However, numerous blood radiances acted as chains and shackled her within the star.

  The Vine Sovereign had yet to lose her consciousness. She continuously utilized her sword intent to resist her opponent’s devilish radiance.

  Daoist Cloud Conquest could already tell her legitimacy without Gao Qingxuan’s answer after sensing the familiar sword intent.

  Unless one of the Six Extinct Devils – the Shadow Devil had taken her form, there was no way of impersonating her.

  The Shadow Devil was currently being held back by a Daoism Heavenly Lord. There was no way of him appearing here.

  Therefore, although it was shockingly unreal, Gao Qingxuan knew that it was undoubtedly her master.

  Ever since the Roving Jade Heavens had migrated to the Awakened Sky Hall, the Vine Sovereign – Li Ying had entered the void’s outskirts and ventured around alone.

  While her contact with the Roving Jade Heavens had never been cut off, it wasn’t an easy feat contacting someone by the void’s boundless outskirts. Moreover, the disheartened Vine Sovereign had rarely contacted the Roving Jade Heavens during her time outside.

  They never expected to meet the Vine Sovereign under such circumstances, where the Nine Underworlds captured her.

  Gao Qingxuan stared at her master.

  “I’m not asking you to work under my Nine Underworlds.” The Great Devil resembling a blood-red star, smiled and said, “Just keep your hands out of today’s battle.”

  History's Strongest Senior Brother Chapter 1427 - Thousand Scales Mirror, Star Shooting Bow!

  Gao Qingxuan was the Vine Sovereign’s disciple. Since young, she had been training under the Vine Sovereign.

  Although Daoist Cloud Conquest wasn’t the Vine Sovereign’s disciple, he had received some pointers from her when he was still weak.

  It wasn’t just limited to Daoist Cloud Conquest alone. Most experts that were still active in the Roving Jade Heavens had received the Vine Sovereign’s pointers, even if they weren’t her disciples.

  As such, the Roving Jade Heavens’ Prime Clear successors would refer to the Vine Sovereign as their “Old Gra
nd Master,” even if they weren’t in the same lineage as hers.

  When they saw how the Nine Underworlds captured the Vine Sovereign, Yan Di, Long Xingquan, and even Ling Qing felt something weighing down on their hearts.

  “I’m ashamed that I can’t end my life right now. Who’s afraid of dying?” The Vine Sovereign peacefully said, “Just take revenge for me in the future.”

  While her expression was calm, her words remained resolute and firm, with no means of negotiation.

  Just by looking at how calm her gaze was, one would tell how calm she was deep inside.

  Anyone could tell that the Vine Sovereign had already prepared to perish. She had no more hopes of living or receiving assistance.

  “Which is why I said, like master like a disciple.” The Great Devil chuckled, “Yet, even if I grant you the wish of keeping your pride, and your disciple kills me for revenge, she’ll still regret this for a lifetime, right? Are you willing to see her in that state?”

  “Things can be settled so perfectly, and everyone can live happily ever after. Ain’t that great?”

  The Vine Sovereign coldly said, “We give an inch, and you’ll take a mile. Rather than allowing you to coerce my disciple, I’d rather sacrifice myself. My only dying wish would be that Qingxuan and the others can kill you in my stead!”

  Crimson-red starlights wreathed about. The Devil Monarch wasn’t angered at all. Instead, he chuckled and said, “How so? I’ve said it already. I’m not asking them to work for my Nine Underworlds. As long as they don’t hinder us from welcoming our Devil Emperor Water and Devil Emperor Earth, that’ll be plenty sufficient.”

  “I’ve always admired the Prime Clear lineage’s sword cultivators for being prideful deep down to their bones and how they won’t bend to external forces. As such, I’m not looking to do anything further than that.”

  The Vine Sovereign, who was entrapped within the crimson-red star, coldly snorted and said, “Do the words of the Nine Underworlds Evil Devils have any credibility?”

  “At the very least, I’m trustable.” The Great Devil said towards Gao Qingxuan and Daoist Cloud Conquest, “How about the two of you consider it? Ultimately, Chen Xuanzong and Chu Lili aren’t of the same lineage as you. Is it worth sacrificing Practitioner Ziteng’s life for them?”
