“If you think to escape underground from that calm underwater mountain range, you are daydreaming!”
Descending into the depths of the collapsed mountain ranges, Yan Zhaoge very quickly discovered that that Divine Sky Green Thunder Barrier did not just cover the surrounding area as well as above.
Just having broken through the layers of rocks, multiple layers of green thunder immediately appeared, blocking his path forward.
The Divine Sky Green Thunder Barrier even covered the rocks down below. Normally, it would appear like there was nothing, but as soon as someone neared it, it would immediately be activated.
Numerous streaks of green thunder shot into the skies. Yan Zhaoge tried to break them with his Blood Devil Plate, but discovered that within this Divine Sky Green Thunder Barrier was integrated the essence of Lin Zhou’s Yin Yang Chain Barrier, such that it circulated in an endless stream.
While the Blood Devil Plate, specifically used to break barriers, would be able to break through it, some time would be required for that.
Sadly, with that Great Flame Devil pursuing him, Yan Zhaoge lacked the time for this.
Racing madly on its four legs, it had already appeared behind Yan Zhaoge once more, sweeping about its eight arms as blazing fire surged into existence, descending towards Yan Zhaoge like a net of fire.
The other Flame Devils had also arrived behind him.
While Lin Zhou and the others were also human martial practitioners, as compared to them, Yan Zhaoge who possessed the ring left behind by the Flame Devil Emperor drew their attention more greatly.
The Flame Devil King Cheng Huang had died, but Yan Zhaoge’s appearance as well as martial concepts and aura had already been conveyed to the Flame Devils, keeping a firm eye on it.
However, just at this time, from another direction, within that deep abyss of flames amongst the numerous underwater mountains here, a great howl of shock and fury suddenly resounded.
That Great Flame Devil in the form of a fiery bird which had shot into the deep abyss was currently howling madly.
Amidst its howl, other than fury and shock, fear could clearly also be felt.
While Yan Zhaoge and the others did not understand the language of the Flame Devils, the other Flame Devils outside of the deep abyss clearly all understood the meaning in the howl of that Great Flame Devil.
Instantly, all their expressions changed greatly.
The next moment, the deep abyss of flames suddenly began shuddering intensely.
This region of underground mountains had been rather calm originally, but its Fire Pith Vein that was located deep underground also seemed about to erupt at this moment!
What was abnormal was that with this, the sea of flames that was currently rampaging unceasingly in the distance suddenly began to weaken at this moment.
The lava that covered the land showed signs of stopping, the underground fire also gradually beginning to die out.
While the entire Outer East Sea had still been enveloped by underground fire, with this chain of underwater mountains at their centre, this region of sea about this point region of stability instead saw the surrounding violent Fire Pith Veins beginning to calm.
Only that underwater mountain range at the point region of stability, with the deep abyss as its centre, shuddered intensely.
An incomparably panicked figure wanted to rush out of the deep abyss. It was precisely that Great Flame Devil in the form of a fiery bird.
But before it could rush out, an immense suction force seemed to emanate from within that deep abyss, dragging it all the way down and back in.
This Great Flame Devil roared non-stop, yet could not free himself.
As the others looked shockedly over, they saw a terrifying vortex gradually take form within the deep abyss, fire intermingling with ice.
The vortex itself was rising upwards, in the meantime sucking all in its surroundings into its midst, being dragged into the deep abyss.
Trapped within, the Great Flame Devil struggled unceasingly, yet could not achieve anything with its efforts, only able to watch on helplessly as it was completely consumed by the vortex.
As the other Flame Devils saw this, they were all greatly shocked. Some wanted to assist, some wanted to flee, some launched attacks towards the vortex, while some grew even more violent, falling into a frenzied state as they launched attacks towards Yan Zhaoge, Lin Zhou and the others.
Momentarily, the vicinity of the underwater mountain range fell into chaos.
That four-legged, eight-armed Great Flame Devil swivelled its head and glared furiously at Yan Zhaoge, the flames of fury within its eyes even stronger than before as not caring about anything else, it shot off murderously in pursuit of Yan Zhaoge.
The underwater mountain range began gradually breaking apart, much underground fire surging out from beneath the ground.
The massive vortex that was slowly rising upwards from within the deep abyss expanded unceasingly towards its surroundings.
The previous moment, this had still been a rare haven of safety within this world where disaster had descended. This moment now, it had become a terrifying hell on earth!
Lin Zhou stared his right eye wide as he gazed downwards, attempting to locate Yan Zhaoge’s figure.
Amidst the light of fire and water, Yan Zhaoge’s figure was visible at times whilst obscured at others, the traces of the Great Flame Devil behind him even more obvious.
Standing beneath another great flag, that Heavenly Thunder Hall martial practitioner surnamed Luo shouted loudly, “Junior apprentice-brother Lin, let’s retreat! That vortex is too terrifying; if we do not retreat in time, we might also be caught up in it!”
Lin Zhou roared in a heavy tone, “Stabilise yourselves! The Divine Sky Green Thunder Barrier will be able to buy us sufficient time!”
Along some mountain rocks that were on the brink of shattering, a thin figure climbed up to the vicinity of a great green flag. It was precisely that Heavenly Thunder Hall Martial Grandmaster surnamed Zhang who had been affected by Yan Zhaoge’s strike of An Instant’s Thunder earlier.
“Senior apprentice-brother Luo, junior apprentice-brother Lin, what exactly is this about?” He yelled loudly.
Senior apprentice-brother Luo hurriedly helped him up, “Are you okay?”
Senior apprentice-brother Zhang’s face was gloomy, “I was not struck directly by the thunderbolt. While the great flag was destroyed, it also protected me.”
He looked rather warily at that vortex that was rising up from within the deep abyss, “Let’s retreat as well!”
Lin Zhou clenched his teeth, “Wait a little more! As long as we block the path of that Yan Zhaoge, the Great Flame Devil will be able to slaughter him!”
“Even if the Great Flame Devil is unable to kill him, he will definitely be sucked into that vortex earlier than us!”
He gazed carefully over, seeing that four-legged, eight-armed Great Flame Devil currently rising upwards unceasingly.
Above him, with a miniaturised Pan-Pan in his arms, Yan Zhaoge was shooting straight upwards.
Yan Zhaoge’s gaze shone, just meeting that of Lin Zhou’s!
The Great Flame Devil followed closely after him. Looking a little further down, that massive vortex was expanding unceasingly, now already sweeping over!

HSSB392: Wait to drink the waters of the East Sea dry
Yan Zhaoge’s momentum was like that of speeding thunder as he rushed before the Divine Sky Green Thunder Barrier, grasping the Earth Devouring Burner in his hand as he pushed it horizontally forth towards the light of green thunder.
Lin Zhou roared sharply, “Yan Zhaoge!”
Amidst his great roar, Lin Zhou abruptly reached out and pulled down the eye patch that had been covering his left eye earlier.
Lin Zhou’s left eye that had been blinded by Yan Zhaoge on the Extreme Northern Snowy Plains previou
sly suddenly opened.
The eye socket was completely pitch black, no eyeball or any form of light visible within whatsoever, solely formed of pure, primordial darkness.
As the surrounding light came into contact with Lin Zhou’s left eye, it immediately vanished without a trace, as though it had been devoured.
It resembled the quietest, purest darkness of the night.
Yan Zhaoge instantly felt as though he was currently located within a land of infinite darkness, containing no sound, no light, no sense of the existence of space nor the flow of time, only a great boundless fear, filled with an air of great disaster.
The Earth Devouring Furnace shook, a strange suction force emanating and devouring this darkness.
Only when the darkness had been dispersed did light appear all around, infinite and boundless, that of roaring, surging silvery-white thunder.
Yan Zhaoge raised his brows, “No wonder, so it is one of the Nine Heavenly Immortal Thunders alongside An Instant’s Thunder, Thunder of Eternal Night.”
Thunder of Eternal Night transformed the world into the most primordial darkness, obscuring all scenes and sounds, bringing one into an eternal night.
When Thunder of Eternal Night finally resounded, it would transform into the purest, most primordial light of thunder, breaking apart the night, ripping apart the heavens and earth where it passed.
Where the light of thunder passed, darkness would descend, stealing and repressing the target’s hearing, sight, touch and other sensory abilities, as though having died amidst the deepest slumber.
Lin Zhou gave a muffled groan, fresh blood flowing out from his left eye socket.
A streak of silvery-white radiance flew out of his left eye, circling above his head. It was a sword of light formed of silvery-white thunderbolts.
Obstructed by Lin Zhou, Yan Zhaoge was halted slightly, the Great Flame Devil before him immediately catching up.
It raised its eight arms simultaneously, eight fire spears filled with an aura of destruction shooting over towards Yan Zhaoge.
Yan Zhaoge’s expression did not change as he roared, his second accompanying Shadow Shrinking Pouch suddenly opening.
Two pillars flew out from within this Shadow Shrinking Pouch, increasing in size as they flew, instantly having become massive.
One was the ice pillar in which was sealed the corpse of a true dragon, and the other was a stone pillar, gleaming with light, causing the descent of countless scenes.
Yan Zhaoge controlled the Pillar of the Divine Palace, releasing his suppression on the ice pillar.
While the true dragon’s body sealed within the ice pillar contained no life, its spirituality that had yet to disperse completely instantly began rampaging about.
As the fire spears of that Great Flame Devil shot over, their blazing aura of destructions immediately stimulated the corpse of this ice dragon.
The ice pillar shuddered, naturally reacting to its stimulation as the aura of a dragon was emitted from within, the sealed ice dragon seemingly have come back to life.
Ice and fire clashed intensely at this moment, with that Great Flame Devil’s attack being blocked while the ice pillar was struck flying backwards.
However, Yan Zhaoge made use of this chance to stimulate the Pillar of the Divine Palace, viciously slamming it towards that Great Flame Devil.
Countless spirit patterns lit up as they intermingled about the entire area, transforming into limitless radiance as the Pillar of the Divine Palace seemed to have increased greatly in size.
A mighty crash resounded as that four-legged, eight-armed Great Flame Devil was struck by the stone pillar, falling dizzily backwards.
The Pillar of the Divine Palace was also sent flying backwards from the collision. Yan Zhaoge reached out and grabbed it once more before using it to pressure and suppress the corpse of the ice dragon that had been running amok before this.
With the ice dragon’s body having fallen momentarily silent after being struck by the Great Flame Devil, Yan Zhaoge managed to easily suppress it with the Pillar of the Divine Palace once more.
Yan Zhaoge opened his Shadow Shrinking Pouch, keeping the two pillars, one suppressing the other.
However, an even greater crisis already lay right before him.
That vortex that had risen upwards from within that deep abyss, having expanded unceasingly as it devoured the surrounding space, had already almost caught up to him.
Having been sent flying backwards by the pillar of the Divine Palace, the Great Flame Devil let out a howl of shock intermixed with fury as half its body had already been sucked in place by the vortex.
The vortex surged outwards unceasingly, sweeping through and devouring all that dared to stand in its path. At this moment, it was already a hair’s length away from Yan Zhaoge.
Standing within the Divine Sky Green Thunder Barrier, Lin Zhou had one hand over his bleeding left eye, forming a sword with two fingers of his other hand as he pointed towards Yan Zhaoge.
The Eternal Night Thunder Sword circling above his head chopped over towards Yan Zhaoge.
While that terrifying vortex was already right before his eyes and the Divine Sky Green Thunder Barrier as well, Lin Zhou clenched his teeth, just not retreating, glaring fixatedly at Yan Zhaoge with his right eye.
“Yan Zhaoge, it is either you die today or I perish,” Lin Zhou’s face was tragically pale but his expression was brutal, “If you can make it out of the East Sea alive this time, I will drink the waters of the sea here dry.”
That strange silvery-white light of thunder of the Eternal Night Thunder Sword instantly transformed into darkness, obscuring the sky and concealing the sun as it wanted to devour Yan Zhaoge.
The Divine Sky Green Thunder Barrier blocked Yan Zhaoge’s path while Thunder of Eternal Night assailed him, with Lin Zhou going all out with his full strength as he wanted to directly send Yan Zhaoge reeling backwards into that terrifying vortex before his eyes that devoured all that it saw.
That Great Flame Devil with half its body already within the vortex roared, a fire spear appearing within his hand which he threw towards Yan Zhaoge.
This decisive blow showed his determination to drag Yan Zhaoge down into death alongside him.
Yan Zhaoge turned, the Earth Devouring Burner directed towards the fire spear as it blocked that terrifying destructive power.
At the same time, Yan Zhaoge flicked his right sleeve, a dark green bamboo branch appearing within his hand.
The bamboo branch struck out, shining as it beat down towards the Thunder of Eternal Night.
The darkness faded, the silver light exploding, the Eternal Night Thunder Sword sent flying backwards into retreat by Yan Zhaoge.
Lin Zhou left out a muffled groan, blood leaking from the corner of his mouth, but he remained standing where he was, stabilising the Divine Sky Green Thunder Barrier and sealing Yan Zhaoge’s forward route.
As he watched on, that terrifying vortex was already right about to come into contact with Yan Zhaoge’s body.
Layers of green thunder stood before Yan Zhaoge, obstructing his path forward.
The boundary of the vortex had already arrived by the vicinity of the green thunder.
That senior apprentice-brother Luo yelled, “Let’s retreat as well!”
Lin Zhou roared, “Wait a little longer!”
Senior apprentice-brother Zhang beside senior apprentice-brother Luo also called out, “We can’t wait any longer!”
Lin Zhou was furious, “What are you doing when I say to wait a little longer?”
All the Heavenly Thunder Hall martial practitioners were rendered dazed as wooden chickens.
Right before their very eyes, their very own senior apprentice-brother Zhang formed claws with his hands, grabbing senior apprentice-brother Luo by the neck before twisting mightily.
Senior apprentice-brother Luo let out a great despairing howl, his aura-qi of thunder surging madly about his entire body.
However, aura-qi
similarly surged madly about the body of senior apprentice-brother Zhang, forming a terrifying black storm, some purple light even shining within.
A fearsome black tiger appeared behind senior apprentice-brother Luo, letting out a great roar that shocked the heavens as it snapped off the neck of that Heavenly Thunder Hall martial practitioner, his head leaving his body.
Lin Zhou was rendered wide-eyed and tongue-tied, “Black Nightmare Godly Wind, Ghost Tiger Divine Claw!”
‘Senior apprentice-brother Zhang’ laughed heartily, still in that thin, trained appearance, “I’m your house’s Grandpa Hu ah!”
Amidst his hearty laughter, he did not cease in his movements, continuing to attack as he snapped that great green flag which had originally been supported by senior apprentice-brother Luo.
The Divine Sky Green Thunder Barrier instantly began to collapse.
Sitting on Pan-Pan, Yan Zhaoge shot out through it, now looking coldly at Lin Zhou.
“You can begin drinking the waters of the East Sea dry now.”

HSSB393: I alone am more than sufficient to defeat a hundred of you
Hailing from Sacred Grounds, being greatly experienced and knowledgeable, after their initial shock and incomprehension, the group of Heavenly Thunder Hall martial practitioners had already reacted by this time.
The rare treasure Imitation Killing Jade, for a period of time after its use, would let one’s flesh, blood and aura-qi imitate that of the target that had been killed.
As long as the user did not engage in combat, even their breathing patterns and inner qi on the outside would be completely the same as that of the imitated target.
Ah Hu’s understanding towards that Heavenly Thunder Hall Martial Grandmaster was limited. Not being clear on his usual habits, his imitation of him could not be considered intricate.
However, amidst the previous chaotic situation, he had remained careful not to reveal any traces, successfully hoodwinking the people of the Heavenly Thunder Hall within a short period of time.
