Heavenly Broad Creed Palm!
Zhu Qian raised his left hand, his entire body’s aura-qi surging to block this palm of Yan Zhaoge’s.
However, not waiting for him to recover, Yan Zhaoge executed the Heavenly Broad Creed Palm with Finger Flicking Shocking Thunder, immediately exerting force a second time!
The terrifying force directly crushed Zhu Qian!
Yan Zhaoge said mildly, “Do you think that the hurricane was blocking the path just now because I felt I could not beat you?”

HSSB296: Grand Reversal
What was the feeling of being pressured by Mount Tai?
Zhu Qian had never experienced it before, but he felt like currently, Mount Tai was weighing down on him from above.
Yan Zhaoge’s terrifying palm descended, causing all of Zhu Qian’s bones to crack with a muffled crunch.
Zhu Qian was covered in red as terrifying beads of blood trickled out from all of his pores, making him look like a being of only blood.
Zhu Qian clenched his teeth and stimulated his aura-qi.
Within his dantian, his aura-qi that was filled with spirituality had returned to simplicity, turning into an existence like the great earth, resembling fertile soil, allowing it to nurture an even more remarkable force.
Zhu Qian’s knowledge on the martial dao and his spirituality from communication with the heavens and the earth had already transformed into a spirit seed, nourished within that spirit soil.
Finally, the spirit seed had gradually undergone a qualitative change, resembling a sprout growing out from the seed, beginning to change its body and switch its bones!
A powerful force was in this way born, forming the powerful foundation of a late Spirit Vessel Martial Grandmaster.
A martial practitioner’s true martial soul had already begun gradually appearing in an embryonic form.
Zhu Qian stimulated his spirit seed, power surging madly, wanting to raise the heavens that were weighing down on him once more.
However, Yan Zhaoge didn’t give him this chance, his speed of force exertion even greater!
Supported by Finger Flicking Shocking Thunder, Yan Zhaoge’s third Heavenly Broad Creed Palm descended, first extinguishing the force Zhu Qian had just unleashed, quashing it before it had even grown!
The violent power that caused the heavens to collapse and the earth to concave inwards completely destroyed all Zhu Qian’s resistance as well as hope.
Zhu Qian’s arm was jolted away, Yan Zhaoge’s palm descending as it mashed his brain into a pulp!
Yan Zhaoge seemed like he had done a completely insignificant thing as he completely ignored Zhu Qian lying limp before him, instead stomping down with his foot.
Accompanied by Yan Zhaoge’s stomping motion, the golden formation continued circulating.
Above him, complicated, profound spirit patterns also appeared, resembling a greatly miniaturised version of Broad Creed Mountain’s guardian formation.
These spirit patterns combined with the rune beneath Yan Zhaoge’s feet, before streams of qi began expanding outwards into the surrounding area.
The streams of qi extended far into the distance, soundlessly and discreetly combining with the true Clear Qi Grand Formation.
Standing on the golden rune, Yan Zhaoge could only feel like changes had happened to his vision, as he seemed to be standing on the clouds, looking at the world down below.
“Human position, established!” Yan Zhaoge let out a long breath, not relaxing, instead making use of his own formation being connected with the Clear Qi Grand Formation to analyse this massive formation a step further.
After he had intentionally diligently given himself supplementary lessons, Yan Zhaoge’s proficiency in formations had become rather outstanding.
However, as the guardian formation of one of the current era’s six great Sacred Grounds, the Clear Qi Grand Formation also had remarkable areas of its own.
Whilst possessing great power, its formation principles were also rather abstruse and profound.
While after Yan Di had taken up the position of Chief, he had received control of the Clear Qi Grand Formation from Yuan Zhengfeng, although Yan Zhaoge was his son, some rules could still not be abolished, and he would not easily pass down the profundities of the Clear Qi Grand Formation to Yan Zhaoge.
At the end of the day, Yan Zhaoge’s understanding towards the Clear Qi Grand Formation was still limited. Now, he had to make good use of the time to carry out projections on it within his head.
However, to Yan Zhaoge, it was not like there was completely nowhere to start.
“It is also originated from the Clear Qi lineage. However, having been improved by generations of Broad Creed Mountain experts, it is already greatly different,” Yan Zhaoge gradually came to an understanding of it within his heart, “It is a pretty intricate formation.”
“Despite earlier having taken two Anti-Suns that have the effect of breaking formations, causing the changes in the formation to be rather severe, this can still be remedied and corrected.”
Yan Zhaoge gazed in the direction of Broad Creed Mountain whilst also unceasingly projecting changes in the formation, “Helping father to regain control of it would be hard. However, the control of the formation can be temporarily stripped from Xin Dongping, shifting it over to one of us in the three established positions.”
As Yan Zhaoge made projections on the formation, Ah Hu was left with nothing to do, but he did not go far, instead remaining standing there, guarding over Yan Zhaoge, remaining vigilant over all the changes in the surrounding region.
Meanwhile, Hong Wen led a group of Broad Creed Mountain martial practitioners, dispersing to kill all the Decimating Abyss martial practitioners who had entered the city alongside Zhu Qian.
As Yan Zhaoge analysed the formation, his heart suddenly moved.
Standing at the human position, he could feel another force integrating into the Clear Qi Grand Formation.
That force originated from the ‘earth’ position of the three positions-heaven, earth and human.
Yan Zhaoge closed his eyes, his mind entering deep within the formation.
Within the dark space of consciousness, countless spirit patterns that flickered with white light surfaced.
A golden dot of light was visible beneath Yan Zhaoge’s feet, at the boundary of the grand formation of white light, representing the ‘human’ position that Yan Zhaoge was currently at.
In the distance, at another end of the grand formation of white light, another golden dot lit up.
“Is it senior apprentice-aunt Fu or Elder Zhang?” Yan Zhaoge’s heart eased, his plan already two thirds successful.
Opening his eyes, Yan Zhaoge could also feel that that terrifying aura of the Nine Underworlds that threw people’s minds into chaos and disorder also seemed to be slowly weakening.
As he gazed far into the distance in the direction of Broad Creed Mountain, he could vaguely see that the black devilish qi suffusing the air above Broad Creed Mountain that surged into the heavens had dimmed somewhat.
“Good!” Yan Zhaoge nodded, letting out a long breath, “Over at junior apprentice-sister Feng’s side, it looks like she has also passed my technique to suppress the Devilish Domain Grand Formation over to second apprentice-uncle. With second apprentice-uncle’s cultivation base as well as understanding towards the Decimating Abyss and the Nine Underworlds, such immediate effects have been seen.”
The previously disadvantageous situation was currently swinging towards them bit by bit!
Yan Zhaoge stood in the intersection of the two long streets, surrounded by a massive rune, countless spirit patterns extending into the distance, connected to the Clear Qi Grand Formation.
Feeling the various changes in the circulation of the formation, Yan Zhaoge unceasingly made projections and calculations within his heart.
“The human position and the earth position have alread
y been established. As soon as the heaven position is in order, a grand reversal can be secured in a single go!”
The ‘’ character beneath Yan Zhaoge’s feet shone a bright gold, seemingly leading innumerable wills to congregate at this point.
Under the common power of the Clear Qi Grand Formation and the ‘’ character, within the city, the originally restless, unstable hearts of the people gradually began to calm at this moment.
While they still felt panicked, no longer were they influenced by the aura of the Nine Underworlds, infinitely magnifying the negative thoughts within their hearts.
Yan Zhaoge looked in the direction of Broad Creed Mountain, then turned his gaze elsewhere.
There, the ‘’ character ought to be established by Shi Tie and Xu Fei as projected by Yan Zhaoge.
However, feeling the changes in the Clear Qi Grand Formation, Yan Zhaoge found that they had still yet to successfully establish the heaven position.
For this technique of his, all three positions had to undergo simultaneous circulation of formations before it could take effect, wresting back control of Broad Creed Mountain’s guardian grand formation from Xin Dongping’s hands in one go.
In his predictions, Shi Tie’s route had been the most stable one.
However, with nothing having happened with so much time having passed, Yan Zhaoge’s heart gradually grew anxious.
Before the technique was completely unleashed, he could not leave the human position on his own, all he could do now being wait where he was.
Yan Zhaoge knit his brows tightly, focused on the direction of the heaven position, his expression grave as it had never been before.

HSSB297: Dream on!
A beam of light streaked through the air.
As Yan Zhaoge hurried towards the human position in the city, bringing Xu Fei along, Shi Tie was also hurrying to where the heaven position was.
Speeding along, Shi Tie’s gaze suddenly flickered as he looked into the distance.
In that direction, a powerful, ferocious aura had appeared. It was not foreign, as it seemed to be the ‘Scaly Dragon King’ Sima Chui.
The other party also seemed to have detected Shi Tie’s presence, but seemed to be mindful of something as he did not come over.
Xu Fei looked at Shi Tie who retracted his gaze, saying calmly, “It’s Sima Chui.”
“Master…” Xu Fei looked somewhat worriedly at the wound that still existed on Shi Tie’s chest.
Shi Tie shook his head, “Relax, I’m fine.”
Xu Fei spoke no longer, but the worry within his gaze did not lessen in the least.
Shi Tie brought Xu Fei along, continuing speedily on their way. After a while, he gazed down below.
There, a boy of around eleven to twelve years old was currently clashing with the enemy.
Despite his young age, he was shockingly already a Martial Scholar, his qi and blood resembling dragons. He resembled a young dragon as he slew his enemies mightily, sending them flying.
It was clearly Shi Tie’s newest disciple, Ying Longtu.
At this time, Ying Longtu still looked a little blank, but he was incomparably focused.
His movements could not be said to be vicious or brutal, but he still clearly remembered the teachings of his elders and senior apprentice-brothers and sisters that mercy to the enemy was brutality to oneself.
Ying Longtu directly sent an enemy flying with a punch, drawing the attention of enemies with even higher cultivation bases.
His opponent lunged towards him, but stiffened midway, falling limply to the ground, directly dying.
The other Decimating Abyss martial practitioners in the surroundings all suffered the same fate as him.
Towards these Martial Scholars, Shi Tie had no need to personally move at all. Just his fist-intent was sufficient to shock all of them to death on the spot.
Feeling his Master’s aura, Ying Longtu raised his head for a look, a happy smile appearing on his face.
“Let’s go together,” Shi Tie did not waste time on words, directly sweeping Ying Longtu along, not ceasing in his footsteps as he continued racing towards his destination.
Ying Longtu looked blankly at Shi Tie and Xu Fei, “Master, senior apprentice-brother, there are so many enemies. They’re attacking the mountain…”
Xu Fei said, “Han Long’er, rest easy. We will precisely be going to deal with them now.”
Ying Longtu firmly nodded.
The three hurried along, very quickly arriving at their destination which Yan Zhaoge had told them about earlier.
This was a mountain peak outside Broad Creed Mountain, standing tall amongst the endless chain of mountains, seemingly wanting to pierce through the clouds above.
Shi Tie stood at that mountain peak, punching out, a great amount of light surging into existence, forming a massive rune which landed on the mountain peak.
The light shot straight up into the horizon, vaguely forming a pillar of light within the air.
Shi Tie raised his hand, a hurricane forming with him as its centre, enveloping this lone peak.
Enveloped by the hurricane, streams of spiritual qi unceasingly gathered between the heavens and the earth, the rune distorting as it gradually expanded to form a small, intricate, profound formation, its spirit patterns emitting a pure white glow.
At the core area around which the countless spirit patterns congregated, an ancient character appeared.
.
The meaning of the ancient character was ‘heaven’.
Seeing this, Xu Fei knew that it was his turn, as he knelt down on one knee, his palms pressing down on the rocks of the mountain peak together.
The radiance of the ‘’ character grew brighter at this moment.
Ying Longtu stood by the side somewhat uncomprehendingly, looking curiously at the actions of his Master and senior apprentice-brother.
As time passed, the radiance of the flickering spirit patterns gradually turned from pure white to gold.
Shi Tie and Xu Fei’s spirits both lifted greatly. According to Yan Zhaoge, this meant that their task was soon to see success.
However, Shi Tie now said calmly, “According to Zhaoge, the situation now is actually already on the right track.”
His gaze moved between Xu Fei and Ying Longtu, “While two people are still needed to maintain this formation, you two, Xu Fei and Longtu, can do it as well, just that it will take somewhat longer.”
Hearing his words, Xu Fei’s pupils abruptly dilated, “An enemy attack?”
No change in expression could be seen whatsoever on Shi Tie’s granite-like face, “There are people approaching, and they bear ill will.”
“Three people, all late Essence Talisman Martial Grandmasters.”
Hearing his words, Xu Fei’s gaze remained firm, but his expression also turned grave.
Shi Tie said, “I will block the enemy. Xu Fei, you tell the method to Longtu as quickly as possible, with you replacing me at the helm, and Longtu supporting you.”
He looked earnestly at Xu Fei, “Prioritise the overall situation; you must ensure that we wrest back the Clear Qi Grand Formation.”
An unconcealable look of worry was visible within Xu Fei’s eyes, but he did not waste time on useless words, his expression incomparably grave as he let out a long breath, saying, “This disciple will give it my all.”
Shi Tie nodded, leaping as he left the mountain peak.
He sped off at an extreme speed, getting as far away from the ‘’ character as quickly as possible, meeting the encroaching enemy on his own initiative.
Soon, Shi Tie halted, standing in mid-air, gazing silently into the distance.
On the horizon, three shining streaks of light very quickly arrived before him.
Shi Tie’s gaze swept past the three, no joy nor sorrow within, calm as still water, “You three, I have long heard of you.”
He recognised all three of his op
ponents.
One of them, a grey-bearded old man, was someone he was incomparably familiar with. He was Elder Wang of Broad Creed Mountain, of the same generation as Yuan Zhengfeng and Xin Dongping, having entered the clan even earlier than them.
Elder Wang had been exposed the earliest, due to the Heavenly Thunder Hall revealing the identities of some Decimating Abyss operatives. He was also the Decimating Abyss’s most powerful, highest ranking martial practitioner of Broad Creed Mountain beneath Xin Dongping.
Afterwards, he had been imprisoned within the Heaven Sealing Gorge.
This day, after Xin Dongping had gravely wounded the First Seat Elder of the Heaven Sealing Gorge, Elder Gong, he had released all the major criminals imprisoned within the Heaven Sealing Gorge, with Elder Wang at their head.
Looking over, Shi Tie could not help but feel forlorn as he saw that Elder Wang’s pupils were yellowed, emanating a bloodred light, as he had already completely fallen to the dark side.
Beside Elder Wang was a black-robed old man, his hair white as snow and his face red as an infant’s, yet not carrying the air of a sage at all as he had similarly completely fallen.
Shi Tie also recognised this man, a remnant Elder of Black Nightmare Mountain named Yang Nie.
Black Nightmare Mountain had had two late Essence Talisman Martial Grandmasters attack Broad Creed Mountain this time.
One of them had already been killed by Broad Creed Mountain’s Grand Elder, the Transcending Mortality Martial Grandmaster Zhang Kun, with the Broad Creed Heavenly Palm.
Yang Nie, currently before Shi Tie, was the other.
The third person was the ‘Scaly Dragon King’ Sima Chui, who had clashed a few times with Shi Tie previously.
Elder Wang looked at Shi Tie, an indifferent look on his face, while Sima Chui’s gaze fell on the wound on Shi Tie’s chest, “Shi Tie, even if you are completely made of iron, how many more nails can be hammered in you now?”
Yan Nie looked coldly at Shi Tie, “Broad Creed Mountain will definitely be decimated today; no one will be able to prevent this!”
The terrifying pressure from the three late Essence Talisman Martial Grandmasters obscured the sky and covered the earth, virtually causing the very space to solidify.
