Yan Zhaoge’s expression was as per usual as he appraised Hai Zhengjie, “This guy’s true essence is indeed rather strong.”
Being appraised by Yan Zhaoge like a senior would appraise a junior, Hai Zhengjie snorted coldly, “Let us test it with our true abilities.”
The nine blood dragons spewed out bloodred dragonbreath in unison, shooting towards Yan Zhaoge.
Hai Zhengjie clawed out within the air, the dragonbreath transforming into a massive dragon’s claw within the sky and clawing down towards Yan Zhaoge’s head.
Executed by Hai Zhengjie, the might of the direct lineage martial art of the Blood Dragon Sect, the Blood Fire Dragon Claw, was displayed to the point of perfection.
From Yan Zhaoge’s perspective, it was like nine true dragons had extended their claws within the sky, clawing out towards him together.
The power of the nine dragon claws congregated together, transforming into a nine-taloned fiery claw, enveloping the surrounding heavens and earth.
Seeing this, Yan Zhaoge laughed, moving forth his left hand to meet it.
Numerous streams of icy qi shot out from Yan Zhaoge’s hand, intermingling together as they directly formed a massive ice dragon’s claw, heading straight towards the other party’s nine-taloned dragon claw in a straight-on clash.
Dragon claw met dragon claw, ice dragon met blood dragon. The two forces of true dragons collided intensely in mid-air.
Frost and flames erupted and scattered everywhere, turning into a layer of frost in mid-air.
Yan Zhaoge nodded casually, “Right, it is cultivated with the help of a true dragon’s bloodline. It seems like your Blood Dragon Sect truly has the essence blood of a blood dragon.”
With this being an ancient language of before the Great Calamity, Hai Zhengjie was somewhat able to comprehend it as well.
Now, his heart sunk greatly, “While it is the blood of a true ice dragon, he can still contest against me as a late Essence Spirit Martial Grandmaster whilst only being a mid Essence Spirit Martial Grandmaster and not come out the inferior?”
Hai Zhengjie dared not underestimate Yan Zhaoge in the slightest as he circulated his qi and roared, the sound of thunder resounding.
The secret art of the Blood Dragon Sect, the Blood Dragon Disgorges Orb, erupted mightily alongside his entire body’s true essence!
After the Blood Dragon Disgorges Orb had been used, a martial practitioner would fall into a period of temporary weakness. However, right before it wore out, his power would skyrocket!
The true essence of Hai Zhengjie’s entire body surged as this moment, the power of his Blood Fire Dragon Claw abruptly shooting up to a whole new level!
At the same time, Hai Zhengjie extended his other arm, the nine blood dragons formed of his true essence coiling and soaring as they congregated together. He was about to unleash another killer move, going all out to slay Yan Zhaoge for good on the spot.
Already no longer underestimating Yan Zhaoge, Hai Zhengjie directly employed his full power in this blow!
As long as Yan Zhaoge was forced into retreat by the suddenly mightier Blood Fire Dragon Claw or concentrated his full strength on combatting it, Hai Zhengjie was confident of following up with his second killer move, taking Yan Zhaoge’s life!
While the two had only just begun clashing, a critical moment was instantly reached in which life or death would be decided in a single moment!
However, just as Hai Zhengjie was thinking that Yan Zhaoge would be suppressed by him, boundless power emanated from beneath Yan Zhaoge’s claw.
Numerous ice dragons flew, entangling that nine-taloned dragon claw of Hai Zhengjie’s before numerous streams of qi that resembled chaos erupted within their bodies.
The extreme coldness turned blazing hot in an instant before an explosive power surged uncontrollably forth like a volcanic eruption.
Also, it was not just a one-time explosion, instead consisting of three consecutive terrifying explosions, each one stronger than the last.
The first explosion had already left Hai Zhengjie greatly taken aback, and he was shocked even more by the even fiercer third and second explosions that quickly followed.
Resembling a tsunami for which there was eternally no end!
Violent power surged within the numerous ice dragons, directly tearing that nine-taloned dragon claw formed of that dragonbreath apart!
Hai Zhengjie fell back with a muffled groan, shockingly having been repelled by the force of his clash with Yan Zhaoge!
Capitalising unforgivingly on his momentum, Yan Zhaoge strode forward within the air.
His left hand having disabled Hai Zhengjie’s Blood Fire Dragon Claw, he struck upwards with his right palm.
Within the sky, the nine blood dragons formed of Hai Zhengjie’s true essence were currently congregating together. The dragon heads were converging at the centre with the dragon tails facing the outside, with them still yet to have completely merged. Still, a massive ball of blood had already formed.
However, Yan Zhaoge’s terrifying true essence now condensed into a massive heaven-obscuring hand, directly grabbing that blood ball.
Everyone opened their mouths wide. They watched on as the nine dragon tails could be seen struggling unceasingly through the gaps between Yan Zhaoge’s fingers like grass snakes as it made for a very amusing sight.
The Blood Fire Dragon Claw having been broken, Hai Zhengjie’s face had just been livid as the qi and blood of his entire body had fallen unstable.
Now, with Yan Zhaoge snatching the pre-emptive over him once more, he was shocked yet further.
Being an experienced veteran of many battles, he was not flustered as he inhaled deeply, drawing on his strength as he continued executing this Nine Dragons Congregating supreme martial art.
Multiple spirit flowers appeared above Hai Zhengjie’s head.
They shone, the bloodred light immediately enveloping the heavens and covering the earth.
However, Yan Zhaoge gripped the ball of blood formed of the nine dragons congregating with one hand while mightily striking out towards the sky above with his other palm.
The forces of two palms met, entrapping that blood ball between them and directly shattering it to smithereens!
An all-encompassing mist of blood instantly erupted and scattered!
Dragon horns, dragon scales, dragon feelers, dragon claws, dragon bones…
Countless damaged remains rained down from the sky above.
Hai Zhengjie was finally no longer able to suppress the backlash to his true essence as he spat out a mouthful of blood.
He was stunned as he looked at Yan Zhaoge before him, unable to speak for quite a time.
The Blood Dragon Sect martial practitioners and that couple of Changli Mountain were also wide-eyed and tongue-tied.
“I am giving you a chance to display your skills. Show me all that you’ve got; I want to see to what extent the martial arts of your Vast Ocean World have developed to now,” Yan Zhaoge’s expression was as per usual as he strode through the air, immediately arriving before Hai Zhengjie.
He extended both his arms forward, the massive heaven-obscuring hands formed of his true essence continuing to move towards each other with Hai Zhengjie wedged in their centre!
Hai Zhengjie let out a tragic cry.
A spiritual light suddenly lit up on him, forming an armour of light which helped him to resist Yan Zhaoge’s attack.
Seeing this, Yan Zhaoge shook his head slightly, “Calling on a spirit artifact just like this? You no longer have any other trump cards?”
Hearing this, everyone instantly felt their minds thrown into disarray amidst the wind.

HSSB458: Sounds pleasing
Spiritual light lit up on Hai Zhengjie’s body as his accompanying mid-grade spirit artifact moved to protect him.
However, Yan Zhaoge was completely unconcerned by this as the two massive heaven-obscuring hand
s formed of his true essence continued closing in towards each other, that terrifying force causing the armour formed of that spiritual light to tremble and shudder unceasingly.
Hai Zhengjie being heavily injured, thanks to the protection of his spirit artifact armour now, he managed to forcibly regather his spirits and draw on his remaining energy.
While the blood dragons formed of his true essence had been mightily shattered by Yan Zhaoge, the Blood Dragon Disgorges Orb secret art was still in use.
Hai Zhengjie’s true essence surged, transforming into a bloodred light which surged out from all the acupoints of his entire body.
They were like fresh blood which had dried and condensed on his body as numerous dragon scales.
Unlike the manifested blood dragons of earlier when his power had been externalised, Hai Zhengjie currently had all of his power kept within his body to form a powerful defence.
The crimson light grew increasingly retracted and condensed, the bloodred dragon scales gradually turning black, incomparably tough and heavy.
Hai Zhengjie’s entire body was enveloped by bloodred scales, his entire person resembling a human turned dragon. This was precisely the supreme defensive art of the Blood Dragon Sect, the Black Blood Dragon Scales Body.
As soon as the Black Blood Dragon Scales Body was accomplished, it would combine with the defensive power of that mid-grade spirit artifact armour, helping Hai Zhengjie to painstakingly resist those two massive palms of Yan Zhaoge pressuring towards him as though squeezing together the heavens and the earth.
Now, Hai Zhengjie was finally able to catch his breath for a bit.
He looked at Yan Zhaoge, asking with much difficulty, “Who exactly are you? Why are you helping that Bai Jingkang and his wife of Changli Mountain and being enemies with our Blood Dragon Sect?”
Yan Zhaoge laughed, “Although we come from two different worlds, I am somewhat ancestrally related with Changli Mountain. The clan I come from is called Broad Creed Mountain.”
As Yan Zhaoge saw it, what was of importance was the Rainbow Dawn Jade Pith. With it being produced in the Vast Ocean World, there wouldn’t be much of a difference whether he were to ask those of Changli Mountain or those of the Blood Dragon Sect.
Whoever to help was actually inconsequential; he was fine with either. However, the actions of the black-robed old man had caused Yan Zhaoge to make his decision.
Since he wanted to fight, they would fight then.
Still, since he had already made a move against the Blood Dragon Sect, in order to make it easier for him to talk with that couple from Changli Mountain afterwards, Yan Zhaoge didn’t mind randomly giving out an excuse.
“Broad Creed Mountain…Changli Mountain…” Hearing Yan Zhaoge’s words, Hai Zhengjie nearly topped, “The Five Peaks of pre-Great Calamity times are merely just a legend. Could you really be a descendant of Broad Creed Mountain of before the Great Calamity?”
“However, this Changli Mountain of the Floating Life World was absolutely founded only after the Great Calamity. It merely took on the name of Changli Mountain, having nothing to do with the Five Peaks of pre-Great Calamity times in the slightest!”
Yan Zhaoge noted the coincidence. It had been so for his clan as well, at most only having developed upon the foundation of one of their lineages.
The faces of that black-robed old man and those four other Blood Dragon Sect martial practitioners turned slightly livid upon hearing those words at well.
The husband and wife who controlled the black and white sword-lights, Bai Jingkang and Wang Bing of Changli Mountain, had been feeling incomparably fortunate.
However, upon hearing Hai Zhengjie’s words, the couple began feeling a little uneasy.
As Hai Zhengjie had said, it was true that their Changli Mountain had been founded on the soil of the Vast Ocean World following the Great Calamity, slowly developing from there.
Yan Zhaoge did not cease in his actions, his palms still mightily closing in on each other as Hai Zhengjie was pressured to the point of being unable to move at all.
“Whether or not it has anything to do with the Changli Mountain of before the Great Calamity, this name, at least, sounds pleasing to my ears,” Yan Zhaoge said nonchalantly.
Hai Zhengjie and the others felt like weeping yet had not the tears to do so.
Having met someone who acted according to his mood and whims, based upon his likes and dislikes, what then did logic and reason mean?
A thousand gold is hard pressed to buy someone’s happiness ah.
Hai Zhengjie said with some difficulty, “Fine, we were the inferior side today. Since you have decided on protecting Bai Jingkang and his wife, we will not stand in conflict against you.”
Looking at him, Yan Zhaoge said mildly, “How is it that I did not see you being as polite as this when you first made a move? Having done that just now, if my cultivation base had been a little lower, I would already have died in your hands along with that couple.”
“If it were under different circumstances, perhaps I would still consider it,” Yan Zhaoge raised his head and gazed at the unstable dimensional passageway within the sky overhead, “With time being so pressing now, I have not the time to deal with you. So then, let it be ashes to ashes, dust to dust.”
Saying thus, Yan Zhaoge abruptly exerted yet greater force under his palms.
Hai Zhengjie was greatly shocked, “You…”
Before he had finished, changes suddenly appeared between Yan Zhaoge’s palms.
Earlier, his hands had executed the Heavenly Broad Creed Palm together, a force that could flip the heavens and overturn the earth pressuring down on Hai Zhengjie from both sides.
However, that massive force suddenly vanished now as the heavens and earth seemed no longer to exist at this moment.
The world seemed to have returned to before the heavens and earth had been opened, everything still in a state of chaotic flux.
No yin, no yang. No before, no after. No beginning, no end. No action, no inaction.
Yan Zhaoge’s expression was calm as he continued bringing his palms together.
The next moment, the chaos mightily exploded!
It was like all things had returned to chaos, before chaos was extinguished, the universe opening once more!
The infinitely majestic, rampantly tyrannical force mightily broke apart all Hai Zhengjie’s layers of defence!
Yan Zhaoge’s palms came together with that seemingly boundless force, Hai Zhengjie letting out a tragic cry as his body was crushed unceasingly.
Seeing this, the black-robed old man and the other Blood Dragon Sect martial practitioners were instantly shocked and angered.
Having taken care of Hai Zhengjie, Yan Zhaoge swivelled his head over to find them fleeing together towards the entrance of the dimensional tunnel overhead.
“Go!” Yan Zhaoge did not move from his original position, a green light shooting out from his right sleeve straight into the sky.
The green light seemed to have merged as one with the sky, but a sharp crimson light flickered along its edge, seemingly having sliced open a tragic wound within the sky.
Where the sword-light of Yan Zhaoge’s accompanying high-grade spirit artifact, the Green Abyss Sword, went, frenzied waves of death swept through the area.
Bai Jingkang and Wang Bing of Changli Mountain were currently dumbstruck as they watched on from the side.
Exchanging glances, both felt extremely lucky whilst also fearful, “The spiritual qi pulse of this world does not seem suited for the cultivation of us qi cultivators. How could this young man have such a strong cultivation base?”
Yan Zhaoge now sent a sound transmission over to Feng Yunsheng, Xu Fei and the others, “The level of restoration of their martial arts is not low, but it definitely does not surpass that in our Eight Extremities World.”
“This Essence Spirit Martial Grandmaster was an elite of his generation in terms of talent and strength, being a peak existence in that area. However,
his accompanying spirit artifact was still a mid-grade spirit artifact. This goes to show that like us, the Vast Ocean World has a great deficiency in high-grade spirit artifacts.”
“Perhaps it is restricted by their proficiency in artifact forging or the resources that they have, but the accompanying weaponry of martial practitioners over there definitely does not surpass that in our Eight Extremities World as well.”
Having taken care of the people of the Blood Dragon Sect, Yan Zhaoge descended from the air, bringing everyone before Bai Jingkang and his wife before nodding to them and saying, “Well met.”
Bai Jingkang and his wife dared not to even speak as their gazes that were on Yan Zhaoge vaguely seem to contain some unease.

HSSB459: This parting may be eternal
Bai Jingkang and Wang Bing could not help but feel uneasy.
Two late Essence Spirit Martial Grandmasters, four mid Essence Spirit Martial Grandmasters.
Amongst them, ‘Blood Ocean Soaring Dragon’ Hai Zhengjie had been famed greatly throughout the entire Vast Ocean World, a peak expert amongst martial practitioners of the same cultivation level who had surpassed all his peers.
However, these six Blood Dragon Sect Martial Grandmasters had all perished at the hands of a single person, a mid Essence Spirit Martial Grandmaster.
And this mid Essence Spirit Martial Grandmaster was merely around twenty years of age.
While he had a high-grade spirit artifact on him, Bai Jingkang and Wang Bing could tell that the crux of his victory lay not with that high-grade spirit artifact.
While they felt grateful to Yan Zhaoge for having saved them, they felt rather uneasy as well, especially having come through the dimensional tunnel to this completely foreign world.
After greeting Bai Jingkang and his wife, Yan Zhaoge ignored further pleasantries and cut to the chase, “I see that you have a mid-grade spirit artifact that flickers with a bright rainbow light. Amongst the materials used to forge this spirit artifact, was there a treasure known as the Rainbow Dawn Jade Pith?”
