Gazing downwards at the deep abyss from high above the Earth Domain in the Eight Extremities World, the veins that resembled massive spiderwebs surfaced once more, numerous streams of golden and black light densely criss-crossing the area.
The golden streams of light were bright, but this time, the amount of black light was far incomparable to how it had been before.
Within the deep abyss, accompanied by the rising of the huge golden sun and the unceasingly laxing of the seal, the black fog down below grew denser and denser as it then began to roil unceasingly upwards, even surpassing the huge golden sun and surging towards Yuan Zhengfeng and Shen Li!
Yuan Zhengfeng and Shen Li both struck out towards the black fog with their palms, the sabre-lights formed of the thunder light and the green light resisting the black fog.
“Here, we’ve got to place ourselves in peril in order to survive!” Yan Zhaoge inhaled deeply, his gaze resolute as he kept the pillar of the Divine Palace before rushing headlong towards the huge golden sun!
Nearing the huge golden sun, extremely intense blazing heat emanated from within as Yan Zhaoge felt as though his entire person was about to catch ablaze.
While its spirituality had gradually faded over time, the power contained within this huge golden sun was still immensely stunning.
Having earlier had its strength hidden, it had not felt especially obvious in the external world earlier.
As Yan Zhaoge drew closer and closer to the huge golden sun now, he could only feel that it was even more powerful than Huang Guanglie as it resembled the true dazzling sun within the sky.
The closer Yan Zhaoge got, the more he felt as though he was about to melt.
Yan Zhaoge calmed his mind, reaching out and writing numerous profound runes in the air before him.
These runes flickered with a golden light, the true majestic power of the sun also emanating from within.

SSB480: Fleeing in the face of danger!
Blazing hot, intense and unbearable.
This was Yan Zhaoge’s sole feeling at this moment.
His true essence was already a little unable to protect the clothing on his body’s surface which seemed as though it was about to catch ablaze.
A pain like simultaneous stabbing by innumerable needles emanated from his body’s surface.
Yan Zhaoge could clearly feel the pain of the Cold Marrow Needles that Feng Yunsheng bore now, just that one of them was hot while the other was cold.
However, they encapsulated every single part of the entire body, not letting a single inch of it slip by, causing one to feel extreme pain that they were unable to resist as it was in no way inferior to that at all!
Amidst his breathing, a fiery hot pain emanated from his nose to his chest.
The heat even travelled within his limbs and bones. It was not just his body’s surface which felt blazing hot and hard pressed to resist. The feeling of his internal organs coming ablaze emanated from within his body as well.
Accompanied by Yan Zhaoge’s rise in cultivation base, he had already not experienced such pain for a long time.
Forcibly bearing the pain, Yan Zhaoge steadied his mind and persisted in walking continuously forward.
Numerous profound golden runes flew out from his body, merging within the bright golden radiance in his surroundings.
This had been gained by Yan Zhaoge through his knowledge of the incomplete Extreme Yang Scripture.
Thanks to the Peerless Heavenly Scripture’s special trait of being able to contain all arts, despite it being a little impromptu and rushed, Yan Zhaoge was still able to barely draw upon some of the essential points of the Extreme Yang Scripture.
As those golden runes merged unceasingly within the surrounding golden light, Yan Zhaoge instantly felt as if that blazing hot pain had dispersed somewhat.
Sadly, Yan Zhaoge’s version of the Extreme Yang Scripture was incomplete. Much of what he had projected was somewhat different from the concept within the great golden sun before him.
The terrifying sunlight still brought about immense harm as well as danger.
Yan Zhaoge grit his teeth, treading on the air as he progressed forward step by step, seemingly entirely walking within that great sun.
The heavens and the earth shook as Yan Zhaoge could only feel as though he had stepped into another world.
This great golden sun resembled a small independent world of its own as whilst sealing the crevice to the Nine Underworlds, it was also separated from the heavens and earth outside.
Stepping into this world, Yan Zhaoge could only feel that the world before his eyes had suddenly dimmed.
It was not that the sunlight had vanished or weakened. On the contrary, the two extremes of light and dark had actually been reversed due to light having reached an extreme maximum.
All the rays of light between the heavens and the earth seemed to have been retracted as a scene of darkness was vaguely visible within the air.
However, as Yan Zhaoge lowered his head, there was no longer a deep abyss beneath him and clear skies for a thousand miles above him.
What he could see were only a bright stretch of flames, a crimson colour visible within the flickering golden light.
He seemed to be positioned at the very centre of the vast universe, standing just at the surface of that great bright sun.
Gazing over, the sun was filled with flames as solar winds howled unceasingly, with sunspots even appearing from time to time.
The space close to the sun’s surface seemed to be distorting as it was awed by the terrifying power of the Sun Star of the Nine Luminaries.
Feeling the majestic concept between these heavens and earth, Yan Zhaoge was rather inspired by it.
All the chaotic qi masses within his bodies seemed able to split the heavens and the earth apart as they rotated, golden radiance continuously being produced from within.
The sunlight shot out from the acupoints of Yan Zhaoge’s entire body before transforming into numerous profound sigils within the air that emanated a powerful, shocking feeling.
Lined up within the air, these sigils appeared scattered and unsystematic.
However, as numerous rays of light shone down between the surrounding heavens and earth, many even more powerful ones were formed which unceasingly polished and filled up the gaps in Yan Zhaoge’s learning.
Gradually, a complete scripture appeared before Yan Zhaoge.
It was just that this scripture still appeared profound and obscure as it remained extremely difficult to understand.
A solemn expression on his face, Yan Zhaoge slowly punched forward, numerous talismans of golden light flying together towards the sun’s surface.
The sun shook mightily, rolling about!
A great door seemed to open, a path appearing within.
As Yan Zhaoge focused on that illusory ‘door’ on the sun’s surface, his attention was completely drawn by the scenes within it.
It was not just Yan Zhaoge’s line of vision. Everything within this universe, including infinite heat and infinite light, was drawn within as well.
A seal appeared there, completely crimson in colour as it flickered with a golden light.
While silently hovering there, the seal guided along all light, all heat, all flames as well as all spiritual qi as it resembled the centre of the universe.
The universe and space all seemed to turn dim at this moment as if illusory.
It was as if there was just this seal here which was the one, sole truth, the highest, exalted principle.
Yan Zhaoge was drawn by it as he tried to approach it.
Suddenly, he felt the heavens and the earth where he was currently located suddenly shake intensely!
The sun before him suddenly turned restless, preventing others from easily drawing near.
In the Eight Extremities World outside, within the deep abyss, the darkness below unceasingly pushe
d the great golden sun upwards.
As the power of the seal grew increasingly weak, the expressions on the faces of Yuan Zhengfeng and Shen Li were ugly to the extreme.
The black fog that had bypassed the great golden sun and extended upwards grew denser and denser. Eventually, space began distorting intensely amidst the Nine Underworlds baleful qi here!
From the distorted space, two massive palms suddenly extended outwards!
“The entire bodies still cannot yet pass, but the demonic claws can already pass through?” The expressions on the faces of the human martial practitioners present all changed greatly.
Of the two massive demonic claws, one appeared pitch black like ink with a dim lustre on its surface. While it did not appear very conspicuous, it seemed to emit infinite evil intent to bewilder peoples’ hearts as the martial practitioners here found it even more difficult to deal with.
The other devilish claw was completely dark purple in colour, its surface densely intertwined by numerous black chains on which red patterns of light flickered unceasingly.
The two devilish claws clawed outwards, instantly slaying a few Martial Grandmasters who had not been able to avoid them in time!
The Essence Talisman Martial Grandmasters who presided high within the human world as they could push mountains and fill seas appeared incomparably frail at this moment!
The terrifying howls of devils reverberated within the entire deep abyss, even being emitted far away as they reverberated off the vast lands of the Earth Domain and shook the skies of the Eight Extremities World.
The faces of Yuan Zhengfeng and Shen Li were stern as they hurriedly moved to resist it.
The forces of the two sides surged in the air above the great golden sun.
The Green Thunder Martial Saint directly spat out a mouthful of blood. As Yuan Zhengfeng’s figure shook, he was also temporarily unable to bolster the power of the seal.
The rate at which the Nine Underworlds baleful qi and the great golden sun rose abruptly increased, with the momentum of wanting to shoot into the heavens together!
The purple devilish claw shook as the black chains around it all unfurled, intermingling within the air densely as a net as they formed a terrifying domain of darkness which enveloped Yuan Zhengfeng and Shen Li.
Meanwhile, that black devilish claw first clawed towards Shen Li!
As Shen Li clashed with it, he could only feel as though he was about to collapse.
An exalted Martial Saint who stood at the peak of the Eight Extremities World now clearly felt the shadow of death looming over him!
Yuan Zhengfeng roared furiously, pushing forward simultaneously with his palms with the additional support of the Clear Qi Robe as he mightily slammed it down upon the great golden sun.
The seal which had been on the verge of shattering was stimulated once more, numerous streams of golden light surging madly as they suppressed the devilish qi of the Nine Underworlds down below.
The rate at which the great golden sun was rising dropped as those two massive devilish claws also stiffened momentarily.
“We can’t seal it, I’m going!” Shen Li howled madly as he transformed completely into a streak of green thunder and shot upwards, evading the black chains that were coming at him.
Yuan Zhengfeng roared, “You can run now, but can you run forever?”
“No matter what, I will not die here today!” The green streak of light formed of Shen Li shot out of the deep abyss and was far away in an instant.
Yuan Zhengfeng was both enraged and shocked. Now, having recovered from their momentary stiffness, the two massive devilish claws before him attacked once more!
History's Strongest Senior Brother Chapter 481: Always regretted
HSSB481: Always regretted
After Shen Li had fled, the two massive devilish claws began targeting Yuan Zhengfeng together.
Numerous chains shot out from the purple devilish claw in an endless stream.
The chains intermingled, forming a layered all-encompassing net which came heavily enveloping over towards Yuan Zhengfeng.
The Nine Underworlds baleful qi in the form of a black fog around them grew even more ferocious as well as it shrouded Yuan Zhengfeng, forming a massive vortex as it tried to devour him.
“Junior apprentice-brother Xie, junior apprentice-sister Li!” Yuan Zhengfeng sucked in a deep breath, pain visible within his eyes as the last two longtime Elders of Broad Creed Mountain who had entered the Earth Domain together with him fell to the massive black Evil Devil’s claw as well.
Having tried to assist them, he had instead been obstructed by the enemy, even having himself been placed in danger.
The human martial practitioners who had entered the deep abyss of the Earth Domain perished one by one.
Finally, only a bunch of chaotically dancing devils was left within the deep abyss.
“Careful, Master,” Fang Zhun, currently above the great golden sun as he was enshrouded by golden and black streams of light, was the only other unharmed human martial practitioner apart from Yuan Zhengfeng visible here.
Entrapped by the Nine Underworlds baleful qi and the power of the great golden sun, he was completely unable to move.
However, a tall avatar stood behind him, a sword within its hand. Where the sword-light passed, it was majestic as the heavens whilst stable as the earth, seeming boundless and endless.
After many years of cultivation, after having perused the concept within the crimson pagoda that Yan Zhaoge had brought back from the East Sea, Fang Zhun had now successfully broken through that bottleneck which had long held him back, successfully stepping into the Transcending Mortality Martial Grandmaster realm.
It was precisely because of this that he had still been able to persist despite having been caught up by the power of the seal and the Nine Underworlds baleful qi in having entered the depths of the Earth Domain to keep watch over the area.
It was just that with the Evil Devils now looking like they would soon be breaking out of the seal, Fang Zhun’s situation was growing increasingly perilous as well.
While the Limitless Heavenly Avatar still stood tall behind him, its body was entangled by numerous black chains as well.
As the power of the seal weakened, the equilibrium between the two clashing forces was lost as Fang Zhun also faced immense pressure against the encroachment of the devilish qi.
Seeing Yuan Zhengfeng in danger, worry could vaguely be seen within Fang Zhun’s gaze.
His eyes suddenly closed as he forcibly stabilised his mind. His entire body’s true essence rippled, agglomerated yet not unleashed as he seemed to be nurturing something, waiting for something to happen.
The Nine Underworlds baleful qi grew stronger and stronger; the power of the seal grew weaker and weaker.
When the golden light about Fang Zhun’s body had finally vanished completely with only black streams of light remaining, he suddenly opened his eyes.
Feeling something, Yuan Zhengfeng swivelled his head over to look even as he blocked the attack of a devilish claw. Fang Zhun’s eyes were bright as the stars within the sky. As a cold light flashed within, they were calm yet resolute, cold yet bright.
As their two gazes met, Fang Zhun smiled, “Master, this disciple is untalented, having recklessly advanced without thought of the consequences back then, finally culminating in this great disaster.”
“While the Decimating Abyss was founded by Xin Dongping, its source actually lies with me.”
“Because of me, so many incidents continuously happened afterwards, even having caused the deaths of eldest apprentice-brother and so many other fellow disciples as a result.”
“Due to slow and gradual depletion over time, the seal in the Earth Domain gradually fell apart to this point, with true Nine Underworlds Evil Devils about to be released into this world. My research on the Earth Domain and the Nine Underworlds from back then can fortunately now be put to good use, preventing the descent of the Nine Underworlds.”
“My life alone is unable to make up for all those that have been lost. I just hope that it will be able to slightly make up for my past mistakes somewhat.”
As Fang Zhun said this, the Limitless Heavenly Avatar above his head suddenly turned into spiritual light as it was retracted within his body.
The black streams of light which had entangled it followed and entangled Fang Zhun’s own body as well.
Fang Zhun’s face had paled, but his gaze shone even brighter than before.
He let out a low, deep roar. The black streams of light entangling him suddenly began rotating rapidly with as their centre.
Fang Zhun sat in the meditative position within the air. Below him whilst above the great golden sun, the black streams of light congregated as space itself began to distort intensely.
Amidst these spatial distortions, the space actually began to split apart, those streams of black light surging madly together towards that hole within space.
Space also shook unceasingly around Fang Zhun himself. His body slowly slid downwards, gradually about to sink within and be consumed by that vortex of black light.
Seeing this, Yuan Zhengfeng’s body shook, “Fang Zhun, you!”
Fang Zhun’s expression was calm and at peace, “Please assist me, Master, and perhaps this matter may still be resolved.”
“Sadly, this method of mine is one where embracing peril would be required in order to ultimately survive, where the original seal may even be damaged as a result. Otherwise, there would have been no need for the sacrifice of so many fellow disciples and martial practitioners of the other Sacred Grounds.”
Yuan Zhengfeng gazed at Fang Zhun.
This disciple of his was one whom he had never needed to worry too much about, able to perform everything most exemplarily no matter what it was, everyone being satisfied with his results.
As Yuan Zhengfeng saw it, other than sometimes being too radical in his mindset, easily susceptible to leaning towards the wrong path, Fang Zhun was virtually perfect as he was able to handle everything in an efficient, orderly manner.
