History's Strongest Senior Brother c1-1474

  Even someone like Fu Enshu who usually appeared fearless had an incomparably solemn expression appear on her face.

  Yan Zhaoge’s gaze swept over, “After the previous few times, a significant amount of the spiritual qi contained here has actually already been depleted. However, if all of it erupts, the Vast Ocean World would probably immediately face another world-exterminating tribulation.”

  The Northern Ocean Clone’s gaze flickered as he looked towards the centre of the coiling dragons. There, an authoritative-looking old man was standing in mid-air.

  Having arrived in the ancient, cold abyss, the yellow dragon was already unable to remain concealed. That old man discovered Yan Zhaoge and the others as well.

  After seeing the Northern Ocean Clone, the originally stern expression of the old man grew even colder.

  It was ‘Slaying Seven Seas’ Zhao Zhong, the Chief of the Dragon Slayer Sect of the Six Evil Sects, he who had been acclaimed as the number one expert of the Vast Ocean World before Yan Zhaoge had appeared in this world.

  Solemnly appraising Yan Zhaoge and the Northern Ocean Clone, Zhao Zhong then slowly nodded, “You are deserving of your reputation.”

  Yan Zhaoge’s expression was calm, “You sure arrived quickly.”

  “It is not for no reason that our sect is named the Dragon Slayer Sect,” Zhao Zhong’s voice resembled a sharp sabre as it broke through the numerous cold layers of air at the bottom of the deep abyss, “Whereas you-is it because you were already prepared originally or because you obtained something from killing Lin Qiancheng?”

  Yan Zhaoge smiled, “None of this is any important now.”

  Zhao Zhong nodded, “It is indeed not important.”

  Saying thus, he formed a sabre with his palm before chopping downwards.

  No sabre-blade, no sabre-qi, no sabre-light could be seen as it was completely undetectable, but a long crimson dragon down below had already been decapitated!

  Just before it happened, the already dead red dragon had seemed to sense danger as its body had moved as if it had come alive once more.

  However, after Zhao Zhong’s sabre had descended, the red dragon completely lost all signs of life.

  Yan Zhaoge raised his brows as Zhao Zhong said mildly, “This old man is different from all of you. This old man came here to slay dragons. While they are all corpses, their bodies are preserved extremely well. Through the accumulation of many, it can still serve a great effect.”

  Of course it would still serve a great effect. There being so many dragons here, even though they were all dead, if he slew all of them, it would be more than enough for him to immediately ascend to the World beyond Worlds.

  Moreover, it could be accomplished with relative ease as well. If all of these dragons were still alive, not even having to use their claws, just a bit of saliva from each of them alone would be sufficient to drown him dead.

  This was really the blessed land amongst blessed lands for Zhao Zhong. While others would still have to think of a way to bring the treasures out of here, he could accomplish his aims merely by remaining where he was.

  “Ha, dragon slayer entering the dragon tomb. How interesting,” Yan Zhaoge laughed, the Northern Ocean Clone having already shot out from beside him.

  His fist resembled a spear as it was instantly before Zhao Zhong.

  Zhao Zhong remained where he was as he simply chopped out with a sabre.

  The clash between the Northern Ocean Divine Spear and the Seven Seas Dragon Slaying Sabre directly dispersed all the surrounding cold qi of the deep abyss.

  The two Martial Saint experts instantly exchanged more than ten blows, each of them extremely perilous!

  Fresh blood spurted within the air as a sabre-wound had appeared around the waist of Yan Zhaoge’s Northern Ocean Clone following the exchange, fresh blood unceasingly flowing out of it.

  Wanting to stem the bleeding with the powerful fleshly body of a Martial Saint, he was actually unable to do so at once as a terrifying sabre-intent continued rampaging about the wound.

  Meanwhile, Zhao Zhong’s shoulder had been directly pierced through, a vast bloody patchwork of flesh and blood being visible within. If he had not evaded in time, it would have been his heart that had been pierced through by the spear.

  Their martial arts were both extremely tough and ferocious with their styles violent and tyrannical such that life and death could be decided in a matter of blows, just a mere few blows already being greatly remarkable and awe-inspiring.

  This was still the first time the Northern Ocean Clone had received such a grave injury ever since Yan Zhaoge had refined this Martial Saint clone.

  Zhao Zhong felt even more shocked. While he had never actually clashed with the Northern Ocean Martial Saint Zhuang Kun before, consolidating the various rumours of his performance and achievements in battle, he was confident that he had already surpassed that predecessor, possessing a greater strength than him.

  Who knew that after having been refined as Yan Zhaoge’s clone, the strength of this Martial Saint mortal shell had actually surpassed how it had been in life.

  Also, consolidating the previous performances of the Northern Ocean Clone in the Deep Sea Pavilion and the Star Shifting Sea, having been away from worldly eyes for a time, his strength had actually increased yet further.

  Zhao Zhong looked solemnly at Yan Zhaoge in the distance.

  If anyone were to dare to say now that Yan Zhaoge was merely relying on his Martial Saint clone to be arrogant, he, Zhao Zhong, would immediately give them a few tight slaps on the face!

  What caused Zhao Zhong to feel even more dispirited was the fact that he knew that Yan Zhaoge’s strength was not merely limited to the Northern Ocean Clone.

  These might not threaten his life under normal circumstances. However, when he was clashing with the Northern Ocean Clone, all of these might anytime be fatal.

  Moreover, who knew if Yan Zhaoge had successfully refined the Sacred Artifact, the Nine Dragon Fingers, for his own use?

  At this point, Zhao Zhong’s gaze grew focused as a black light flickered within his palm, a sabre appearing which overflowed with spiritual light. It was clearly an extremely elite high-grade spirit artifact.

  While it was not a Sacred Artifact, being in the hands of the Martial Saint Zhao Zhong, his strength instantly surged madly as the Northern Ocean Clone could not help but avoid its sharpness as well.

  Yan Zhaoge curled his lips. He did not have any high-grade spirit artifact spears. However, it was not like he had no way around it.

  After evading Zhao Zhong’s sabre, the Northern Ocean Clone suddenly descended, lunging towards the numerous dragons down below.

  Zhao Zhong did not believe that this was merely Yan Zhaoge avoiding him. Indeed, he saw the Northern Ocean Clone suddenly reach out with both hands to grab and capture a long white dragon.

  That dragon’s spirituality had yet to fade as its authority still remained. While it wanted to move, it was caught by the Northern Ocean Clone who infused the true intent of his spear within. The dragon’s body instantly grew stiff and ramrod straight.

  The Northern Ocean Clone roared, using this dragon body as a spear as he sent an incomparably mighty stab over towards Zhao Zhong’s chest!

  Facing this, Zhao Zhong did not retreat.

  Even Martial Saints could not instantly forge a high-grade spirit artifact. While dragon bodies were strong, and this one was also completely controlled by the Northern Ocean Clone’s martial true intent, it still wasn’t comparable to a true high-grade spirit artifact at the end of the day.

  If the opponent was a Martial Grandmaster who was wielding a high-grade spirit artifact, it might have been different. Still, Zhao Zhong being a Martial Saint, he naturally did not fear it.

  The two resumed their battle of spear and sabre. Zhao Zhong possessed a slight advantage, but was still unable to swiftly slay the Northern Ocean Clone no matter what. After all, he feared the Nine Dragon Fingers that was yet to appear, not w
anting to be dragged down into death together with his opponent.

  Just like this, Zhao Zhong was unable to approach the numerous dragons of the deep abyss.

  Just as the two were clashing, yet more people arrived within the ancient, cold abyss. They were the Chief of Water Crystal Palace Lin Shi and the Chief of Soul Shocking Island, Liu Shuo.

  The two scanned the battle situation and exchanged glances. They hesitated in silence for a moment before, as if by tacit agreement, both not interfering as they just shot towards the numerous dragons down below.

  Amidst their movements, they paid close attention to what Yan Zhaoge was doing. After all, they had yet to see the Nine Dragon Fingers make an appearance.

  However, even if Yan Zhaoge could wield the Nine Dragon Fingers, it would be impossible if he wanted to obstruct the two of them at once.

  Gao Tianzhong and the others descended towards the numerous dragons as well.

  The situation before their eyes was clearly the splitting up of the pie. How much everyone could obtain would depend on their own capabilities.

  Looking at all this, Yan Zhaoge’s gaze was distant. He ignored the battle between the Northern Ocean Clone and Zhao Zhong as well as Lin Shi and Liu Shuo who were shooting towards the numerous dragons, instead descending towards another direction all on his own.

  History's Strongest Senior Brother Chapter 568: Obtaining the Sacred Artifact!

  HSSB568: Obtaining the Sacred Artifact!

  As Yan Zhaoge descended elsewhere, everyone was taken aback for a moment.

  Everyone instinctively felt that there must be something wrong for him to be acting so abnormally. Zhao Zhong wanted to come over, but was obstructed by the Northern Ocean Clone.

  The Chief of Water Crystal Palace Lin Shi and the Chief of Soul Shocking Island Liu Shuo hesitated slightly, finally deciding not to act.

  Whoever made a move this time might have to face the Nine Dragon Fingers, thus benefiting others.

  They hesitated slightly before ignoring Yan Zhaoge completely, instead beginning to grab one dragon corpse after another from the deep abyss.

  Yan Zhaoge descended into the bottom of the abyss, moving unceasingly. Finally, he arrived at a corner of the abyss and searched for a while before actually rising upwards once more, as if wanting to leave the place.

  The Northern Ocean Clone remained locked in combat with Zhao Zhong, but his body was gradually rising upwards unceasingly. Everyone felt greatly bemused by this.

  Yan Zhaoge ignored them all, continuing upwards.

  “…It’s here!”

  Yan Zhaoge’s eyes lit up. He pushed his left hand into a region of space, as if feeling for something up above.

  His right hand continuously drew numerous spirit patterns in mid-air, finally condensing into several strange spirit diagrams which were profound and graceful.

  These spirit diagrams had all been viewed by Yan Zhaoge in the old residence of the Glacial Dragon Martial Saint back in the Eight Extremities World that year. While he had not analysed them deeply before, he had remembered most of them.

  This true essence transformed into bits of frost which merged within space before beginning to glow with radiance.

  The next moment, a powerful will appeared within the ancient, cold abyss, as though awakening from a deep slumber.

  The faces of Zhao Zhong, Lin Shi, Liu Shuo and the others all changed. They raised their heads together, watching as the space before Yan Zhaoge broke apart, a great door seemingly opening that led from some unknown land.

  A figure surfaced from within. It was a dry corpse, wearing light armour that flickered with an ice-blue lustre.

  That powerful aura was emanating precisely from that light armour!

  It was clearly also a Sacred Artifact!

  Zhao Zhong and the others nearly vomited blood, “Where did this Sacred Artifact come from? It was completely undetectable earlier. How did that Yan Zhaoge know that it was there?”

  Looking at the dry corpse, Yan Zhaoge sighed emotionally, “After so many years, it is still dust to dust and ashes to ashes at the end of the day. This Yan will be benefiting from senior’s grace this very day. Please do not blame me for it.”

  The Vast Ocean World martial practitioners were all unable to recognise this dry corpse and the Sacred Artifact on him.

  Still, Fu Enshu recognised, “Glacial Dragon Martial Saint? Imperious Cold Martial Armour?”

  The dry corpse was shockingly the Glacial Dragon Martial Saint who had come over from the Eight Extremities World yet perished here in his attempt to gain the treasures of the dragon tomb.

  While he had been at the second level of the Martial Saint realm in the past, his cultivation base surpassing that of the Northern Ocean Martial Saint Zhuang Kun, with so much time having passed and him also not cultivating in the unique kind of martial art that Zhuang Kun cultivated in, his mortal shell had already completely deteriorated to the point of decay by now.

  Even despite the powerful qi and blood of Martial Saint experts, beneath the gradual weathering of time, it would still be dust to dust and ashes to ashes at the end of the day.

  Still, it was precisely also because the qi and blood of the Glacial Dragon Martial Saint had dispersed that the Imperious Cold Martial Armour that he had been wearing had been nourished as a result. At the current moment, its glory still shone bright!

  Yan Zhaoge laughed. With a wave of his hand, the Northern Ocean Clone directly shattered the dragon corpse in his hands, shaking off Zhao Zhong as he returned over by his side.

  Zhao Zhong was greatly panicked as he wanted to give chase. Even Lin Shi and Liu Shuo were frowning down below, ceasing in their collection of the dragon corpses as they exhibited the intention of coming up.

  Yan Zhaoge laughed, “Everyone, I won’t be polite.”

  He opened his Shadow Shrinking Pouch, an illusory palace flying out from within.

  The core of the palace consisted only of a pillar and a beam. However, nine dragons of light coiled as they seemed to have taken the form of pillars, supporting this palace together.

  Seeing those nine dragons of light, Zhao Zhong’s pupils dilated slightly, “They’re transformed of the Nine Dragon Fingers?”

  This palace obstructed Zhao Zhong’s path while the Northern Ocean Clone shot beside the corpse of the Glacial Dragon Martial Saint, bowing once before slicing his skin with his finger like a sharp blade.

  Guided by the true essence of the Northern Ocean Clone, a few ice-blue droplets which were crystalline in appearance actually flowed out from the dry corpse.

  Yan Zhaoge waved his hand, refining one of these droplets. The Northern Ocean Clone also spread his palm wide, collecting the remaining droplets within his palm and refining it with his true essence.

  The next moment, countless ice-blue spirit patterns continuously flickered within the pupils of Yan Zhaoge and the Northern Ocean Clone.

  “Imperious Ocean Cold Dragon Art, what a supreme martial art,” Yan Zhaoge emitted a long roar, ice-blue dragon silhouettes flickering above his head.

  The Northern Ocean Clone extended his arms, drawing that Imperious Cold Martial Armour over onto his body.

  He unleashed his true martial intent to the utmost, a scene of light flickering above his head. Other than the sinking and rising of the great roc, the soaring of an ice dragon could vaguely be seen as well.

  “It is only an initial refinement, and its strength might not be able to be unleashed completely. Still, it is sufficient for now.”

  The Northern Ocean Clone roared before turning back, shooting towards the Chief of the Dragon Slayer Sect Zhao Zhong at lightning speed!

  Zhao Zhong parried the incoming Northern Ocean Divine Spear. Before he had the time to exert strength and counterattack, the roar of a dragon suddenly resounded from opposite him as a roaring ice dragon suddenly shot out.

  Facing the sabre-intent of the Seven Seas Dragon Slaying Sabre, this ice dragon was exceptionally violent as if its reverse scale had
been touched.

  The majestic force assaulted towards Zhao Zhong along with the Northern Ocean Divine Spear, pressuring Zhao Zhong into continuous retreat.

  While the strength of the Northern Ocean Clone and the Imperious Cold Martial Armour had not been fully integrated and combined, both of them were already sufficiently powerful!

  Zhao Zhong’s expression was livid, his viciousness surging as he wanted to fight with the Northern Ocean Clone to the death.

  However, that illusory palace had already descended, enveloping Zhao Zhong whose movements instantly came to a temporal halt.

  The Northern Ocean Clone exerted strength once more, this time directly shattering the sabre that Zhao Zhong was holding!

  The roaring ice dragon lunged towards the old wound on Zhao Zhong’s shoulder. Zhao Zhong gave a muffled groan as his entire arm was forcibly twisted apart!

  Zhao Zhong dared not linger any further as he roared madly, shooting upwards as he wanted to flee from the deep abyss.

  After having defeated Zhao Zhong, the Northern Ocean Clone did not pursue him as wearing the Imperious Cold Martial Armour, he descended from the sky along with that palace, coming amidst the numerous dragons.

  Gao Tianzhong and the others all stared, never having thought that things might actually end up like this!

  In their eyes, Yan Zhaoge’s figure was already no longer profound and indiscernible but inexplicable and terrifying!

  Lin Shi and Liu Shuo both felt a bitter taste in their mouths.

  The two of them had not discussed it beforehand, but the two experts of Good and Evil instinctively made a move at the same time, joining hands for the first and perhaps only time in their lives.

  Lin Shi’s palms interlocked as the Heaven Shocking Change of the Six Dragon Changes was executed, a dragon roaring amidst the nine heavens as some of the dragons present were vaguely brought into raising their heads together with this as well.

  A massive black box suddenly appeared behind Liu Shuo. As the mechanism activated, numerous black sabre-lights shot out from within, the power of the Soul Shocking Box shocking one’s soul along with the unleashing of Soul Shocking Island’s supreme martial art, the Soul Shocking Fourteen Strikes.
