With these intentions in mind, he felt constrained in many areas.
While he might have ascended to become a Grand Heavenly Realm Buddha long ago, he still faced enormous difficulties when trying to suppress her.
Feng Yunsheng, bearing the Duo Flowers Converged Crown, was near undefeatable among Grand Virtual Realm experts’ ranks.
She was even capable of fighting against some Grand Heavenly Realm experts.
If she hadn’t been so exhausted after the previous battle, even if the Victorious Fighting Buddha could overwhelm her in strength, he had no ways of suppressing or capturing her, let alone preventing her from challenging the Origin Heavenly Tribulation.
Buddhism’s supreme arts were specialized in cultivating one’s body, as well as one’s mind.
As such, the Victorious Fighting Buddha didn’t mind fighting against Feng Yunsheng in the mind department.
He was aware that Feng Yunsheng had already won over Jian Shunhua, an Immortal when her cultivation was still weak. In fact, during that time, she could even keep her pristine state of mind despite possessing the Doomsday Heavenly Devil’s authority. As such, he knew how outstanding Feng Yunsheng was in terms of her mind.
However, only after truly trading blows with her did he truly realize how exceptional she was.
Being made aware of this, the Victorious Fighting Buddha chanted the Buddhist chantings, releasing the sarira placed within the golden lamp atop his head.
Then, he sat in a lotus position. All of his twenties heads started chanting while his eighteen arms opened up.
Green lotuses bloomed one after another, manifesting a realm of Buddhism which came suppressing Feng Yunsheng.
Feng Yunsheng guarded her state of mind and stood firmly, rejecting the Victorious Fighting Buddha’s suppression.
However, the sarira that flew away still more or less affected her mind.
After the dark-red sword-light was struck down by the Victorious Fighting Buddha’s palm attack, the divine vessel stopped moving, causing the Buddhists, the Demon Race, and the Nine Underworlds to swarm it.
Gao Qingxuan’s face was already pale, while her aura was also weakened.
Her stern look remained on her face as she worked together with her clone. They released another Immortal Trapping Sword once again, hoping to bring everyone out from such besiegement.
However, the Victorious Fighting Buddha’s sarira flew over, its radiance ensnaring the considerable vessel in place.
Atop the vessel, a layer of pellucid crystalline brilliance surfaced, preventing Gao Qingxuan’s Immortal Trapping Sword’s dark-red sword-light from fusing with the divine vessel.
With no way of fleeing, the surrounding enemies instantly swarmed them.
While the Victorious fighting Buddha’s goal was Feng Yunsheng, leaving Yan Zhaoge’s group behind would be considered a bonus.
Moreover, with the vessel remaining here, Feng Yunsheng’s mental state would experience disturbance.
As expected, seeing how her companions couldn’t escape, worries filled Feng Yunsheng’s face.
However, she forcibly calmed her state of mind, and her expression returned to normal.
She had to preserve her mental state, especially when she’s fighting mentally against him. She couldn’t afford to lose right there.
Even if she were to lose, she couldn’t possibly be defeated so quickly.
Otherwise, if an expert of the Grand Heavenly Realm focused on dealing with Yan Zhaoge and the others, a true calamity would befall upon them.
Being enveloped by the sarira’s Buddha light, Gao Qingxuan couldn’t increase the vessel’s speed.
However, they still held control over the vast vessel. They could maneuver the vessel, continue to move around, and fight while fleeing.
However, with its speed slowed down, their enemies managed to chase after them, following up with a barrage of attacks.
Yan Di, Gao Qingxuan, Ling Qing, and the other Daoism experts defended the vessel. However, facing so many foes, their diminutive manpower couldn’t possibly deal with all of them.
Suddenly, the Great Devil’s aura skyrocketing maliciously from the vessel weakened!
Beneath the wilted tree within the cabin, a clump of radiance was sparkling ethereally.
Within, the Primordial Heart Devil, who spoke through Ying Yuzhen’s mouth, let out a groan.
The tint of black by Ying Yuzhen’s eyes faded, causing clumps of colorful smokes to arise. The clouds became thinner and thinner, gradually dissipating from the environment. Then, a weak figure emerged from within.
The Heart Devil’s disruption imposed upon Shi Jun and Xu Fei started weakening.
“Victorious… Fighting Buddha…” The Primordial Heart Devil’s tone was extremely complex.
With the Southern Extremity Longevity Emperor being held back, the Primordial Heart Devil took advantage of Yan Zhaoge’s lack of preparations and barged into the fray.
Logically speaking, with Victorious Fighting Buddha’s descent, it became significantly disadvantageous to Daoism, especially when he wanted to suppress Feng Yunsheng.
As he released the sarira and anchored the vessel in place, Yan Zhaoge’s enemies gained the opportunity to besiege them.
However, the sarira’s Buddha light had blocked off the Primordial Heart Devil’s infestation to a certain extent!
Such interference was unfavorable to the Great Demons.
The Buddhists and Demons didn’t care whether the Earth Devil had successfully reincarnated or not.
To them, they just had to prevent Shi Jun and Ying Yuzhen from leaving this place. It didn’t matter if they were still humans or devils!
The group of Nine Underworld Devils could only break through the line of defense in hopes of bringing Shi Jun and Ying Yuzhen away from here.
Yan Zhaoge rushed behind Shi Jun and Xu Fei. Then, he arched both his hands back and slammed them on their backs.
Xu Fei took out the Earth Splitting Pearl and hit it towards Ying Yuzhen’s head.
The ocher-colored devilish radiance instantly went dim.
While Shi Jun was re-stabilizing his mental state, he immediately started counter-attacking Devil Monarch Zhong Yuan under the aid of Yan Zhaoge.
Without the Primordial Heart Devil’s assistance, the scale of victory shifted once again.
-Instantly reversing the situation completely!
Previously, due to the Primordial Heart Devil’s interference, Shi Jun fell from the skies into a pool of mud and was on the verge of failing.
Now, the situation reversed, causing Shi Jun to skyrocket instantly, soaring from the abyss back to the skies. In fact, compared to his previous progress, he was currently much closer to victory!
However, before Yan Zhaoge could be overjoyed, their surroundings trembled violently, as if an apocalypse had arrived.
Outside, the experts of Buddhism, the Nine Underworlds, and the Demon Race were attacking.
Yan Di and the others stood their ground firmly. Even with their life in line, they refused to retreat.
The three enemy factions both harbored their selfish wishes. As such, rather than working together, some of them were even attacking each other.
Only, the three forces’ troops were all still paying attention to the enormous vessel. With the abundance of experts present, there were many other top-notch helpers like Fuluo Zi.
In the end, Daoism’s defense line was broken through.
A Nine Underworlds’ Great Devil destroyed the colossal vessel!
The pool of water within the cabin instantly dissipated.
Specks of dust flew afar, including the wilted tree itself.
“Hold on for a while longer!” yelled Yan Di with a deep tone.
Everyone could feel that the auras of the Earth Devil and Devil Monarch Zhong Yuan were dissipating.
If they managed to hold on for a while longer, the two Great Devils would be sealed away. With the devilish mark being extracted, they wouldn’t
be able to return for the time being.
When that time arrives, the devilish mark won’t expose their locations anymore, making it much easier for them to escape.
The group continually fought and retreated, fending off waves of enemies while protecting the wilted tree.
Many enemies were present. With Fuluo Zi and other Grand Virtual Realm experts holding the Daoism side back, other weaker Demons and Buddhist Bhantes slipped through and attacked the wilted tree.
The man in charge was a Buddhist Arhat. When he came close to the wilted tree, brilliance suddenly filled his vision, with someone emerging from within.
Yan Zhaoge was the one emerging from within. With a palm, he instantly knocked the Arhat back.
History's Strongest Senior Brother Chapter 1452 - Immortal Slaughtering Sword
Vajra bared his fangs while Arhats vanquished Devils.
Even the Buddhist martial arts, famed for their unparalleled toughness, couldn’t withstand Yan Zhaoge’s palm attack. As a result, the Arhat was forced backward.
His domineering mightiness overwhelmed the surrounding’s foes, making them pale in comparison.
Seeing the wilted tree floating by the cosmic void, gradually disappearing far away, the group of Devils was filled with panic.
The presence of the Earth Devil and Devil Monarch Zhong Yuan grew weaker and weaker. They were only a few steps away from being sealed successfully.
With this, the Devils couldn’t track Shi Jun’s location using the rampaging devilish intent any longer.
While they had already escaped from the sarira’s radiance’s envelopment, as long as the Primordial Heart Devil didn’t descend personally, he couldn’t possibly affect the three within.
The Devils group attempted to break through the final defense line – Yan Zhaoge and chase after Shi Jun’s group.
The Demons and Buddhists, on the other hand, had different motives.
They planned to kill Shi Jun and Ying Yuzhen, no matter if they were humans or Devils. By killing the two off, they would dispose of any form of trouble in the future.
However, seeing that the reincarnating Devils were already being suppressed, their intentions of killing the two weren’t that strong anymore.
If the two were right in front of them, they would kill the two.
However, now that the two had gradually lost their tracks, the Demon Race and Buddhism experts had their hearts wavering.
Because the things they coveted after were right in front of them.
Yan Zhaoge and the Pill Hall!
The Pill Hall had already fallen into Yan Zhaoge’s possession for so many years. Even a toddler could tell that most of the pill qis and all sorts of pills had already been depleted.
However, the Pill Hall’s worth was still sky-high.
Setting everything else aside, even the freshly refined pills would bring about countless benefits and advantages.
It would allure even the heart of a Grand Heavenly Realm expert.
To the Buddhist Bhantes, the Victorious Fighting Buddha’s capture of Feng Yunsheng was also a grand matter.
As such, part of the Buddhist Bhantes and the Demon Race experts started shifting their aim towards Yan Zhaoge himself.
Yan Zhaoge remained fearless, despite being in solitude. His sword swept, his palm struck, vigilantly dealing with all the enemies around him.
As the roars of dragons and tigers resounded, he even managed to escape the besiegement and speedily chased after the Devils that planned to pursue after Xu Fei, Shi Jun, and Ying Yuzhen.
Even against a massive group of experts, Yan Zhaoge preserved his clear state of mind. He tapped his finger at mid-air, casting the Grand Commencement Divine Finger’s Transformation of One Prana Three Clears, instantly causing three clones of him to appear.
While they weren’t equally as strong, four Yan Zhaoges dashing forward together carried about the momentum of an entire multitude of the army, leaving only destruction in their wake.
The four of them cast the Taiyi Fist together.
The iron fists which occupied the entirety of time and space came enveloping their enemies. While most of the Profound Immortal Realm experts weren’t wounded, they were forced to halt their advancement.
Being unable to do anything, they could only watch the wilted tree disappearing in the distance. All that was left were the Devil’s bellows of anger.
This had also incited the anger of the Grand Virtual Realm Devil Monarchs.
The three sides banded together, overwhelming Daoism in numbers. Yan Di, Gao Qingxuan, Ling Qing, and the others were incapable of stopping everyone. As the battle dragged on, more and more enemies managed to slip through.
For example, the smog-like Devil Monarch. He was swift and wouldn’t even pale compared to the Golden-Winged Great Roc – Fuluo Zi.
Gao Qingxuan, who was the fastest among the Daoism side, couldn’t remain attentive to the two simultaneously.
The Twilight Mist Devil Monarch found an opening and immediately broke through Daoism’s line of defense.
His extreme speed paired with Five Qis Unification allowed him to remain fearless towards a True Immortal’s Immortal qi. He immediately increased his speed to the maximum.
He didn’t even bother doing anything to Yan Zhaoge. Instead, he intended to chase after Shi Jun’s group.
While continuous exhaustion might injure him, Yan Zhaoge wouldn’t back down for such matters. He instantly cast the Later Earth Text.
The Yin Yang Nine Splendour Seven Treasures Array Formation unfolded. The formation runes radiated, instantly pulling Twilight Mist Devil Monarch within. As if it was a vast spiraling abyss, it dragged those beneath the Grand Virtual within. Like moths to a flame, they were pulled towards the formation.
Twilight Mist Devil Monarch let out a roar, shifting his lightweightness into tyrannical strength.
He then attempted to escape from the formation’s constraint.
Yan Zhaoge dropped one talisman after another and incited transformation in the formation, preventing the Twilight Mist Devil Monarch from escaping.
Unfortunately, through constant usage at full force, the Later Earth Text’s strength seemed to be wavering.
The colossal formation was unrooted and moved along with the Devil.
Of course, even so, the Twilight Mist Devil Monarch couldn’t increase his speed any further and couldn’t even chase after the tree.
The Devils group was enraged and proceeded to let out fanatical cries of roars.
Yan Zhaoge gritted his teeth and continued withstanding the pressure.
The battle between the two sides had already reached its peak intensity.
As time passes, Shi Jun’s situation would undoubtedly become better and better.
However, for Yan Zhaoge’s side, their opponents were far too overwhelming, and the pressure imposed upon them was far too great.
More and more enemies found an opportunity and slipped through the line of defense.
Meanwhile, Yan Zhaoge and the others continued to prevent them from chasing after the tree.
They had to be exceptionally on guard against Fuluo Zi and the Twilight Mist Devil Monarch.
If the two passed through their blockade and increased their speed to the maximum, it would be impossible to hold them back again.
Among all the Daoism experts present, only Gao Qingxuan and her clone’s Dual Swordplay would allow them to match up to the two’s speed.
If the two opponents broke through at the same time, that would imply that someone would be allowed to pass!
As the fight went on, the most horrible situation indeed occurred.
When Gao Qingxuan and Yue Zhenbei were focused on fighting against others, their gazes suddenly flickered. At first, surprise took over their expressions, which then turned into a joyous one.
Being individuals that had gone through countless battles, they didn’t give out much of a reaction.
However, their opponents were experts with cul
tivation higher than them.
Any slightest changes would immediately allow them to turn the tides in their favor.
Fuluo Zi and the Twilight Mist Devil Monarch broke through the defense line together and chased after the faraway tree.
Yan Zhaoge and the others became anxious, watching them leave.
On the other side, the Victorious Fighting Buddha, currently occupied with brawling against Feng Yunsheng, suddenly sensed something. All of his heads turned and looked towards Fuluo Zi’s direction.
Fuluo Zi and the Twilight Mist Devil Monarch were chasing after the tree. Suddenly, radiance arose in front of them.
As horrifying dark radiances emerged, auras filled with despair and demise appeared within the void.
The cosmic void was originally pitch-black, considering how vast it was.
However, the dark radiance seemed even darker and gloomier than the void, as if declaring every lifeform’s final rest – an eternal death.
All lifeforms would eventually perish.
Fuluo Zi was a Great Devil, while the Twilight Mist Devil Monarch was an Infernal Devil. The two’s hands were already stained with countless individual’s blood.
However, when facing the dark radiance, feelings of suffocation emerged.
Fuluo Zi was the Roc of Ten Thousand Cloudy Miles’ son and was bestowed with an abundance of knowledge. Watching the dark radiance capable of evoking feelings of annihilation, he subconsciously stopped his advancement.
“Immortal Slaughtering Sword!”
History's Strongest Senior Brother Chapter 1453 - Wherever the Sword Passes, Those Wounded Shall Perish!
Wherever the dark radiance shone upon, everyone within its area of coverage had the feeling of ice-cold despair looming within their heart.
With their vitality nearing its end, their blood flow becoming stagnant, and fatigues overwhelming them, even their thoughts were close to being stagnant. It was as if they were about to perish and enter the world of the dead filled with bleak solitariness.
Amidst the dark radiance, an ancient sword quietly hovered within.
Immortal Slaughtering Sword.
It ranked number one among all the swords, famed for its massacring capabilities.
