That Radiant Light Sect Elder was greatly shocked yet could only watch the sword-qi sweeping through all that stood in its path with the momentum of breaking bamboo.
The Inextinguishable Light Body, broke!
At this crucial moment of life and death, the Radiant Light Sect Elder clenched his teeth, extending his palms before clapping them together, catching Yan Zhaoge’s Glorious Rainbow Sword between.
Just having touched it, the flesh and blood of his hands began to be reduced to ash.
Numerous illusory scenes seemed to appear before the eyes of this Radiant Light Sect Elder.
The spirit avatar formed of his perfectly merged fleshly body, spirit and martial true intent actually gradually collapsed now, separating once more!
As the true martial avatar dispersed upon separation, the fleshly body collapsed as even the formless spirit was extinguished as well!
Greatly shocked, he instinctively relaxed his grip.
Yan Zhaoge sent his sword lightly forth, already piercing into his chest.
Beneath the Immortal Ending Sword that sent all lifeforms and all things into extinction, this third level Martial Saint of the Radiant Light Sect shockingly had his body extinguished!
Yan Zhaoge relaxedly kept his sword, gazing towards the side.
Cheng Song was being blocked by the Northern Ocean Clone. Meanwhile, Nong Yuxuan stood amidst the air, his expression ugly as he was stiff and unable to move.
Black qi frequently surfaced on his face, the radiance in his eyes stable at times whilst disordered at others.
Having wrested for control of the Dim Glorious Sabre Qi with Feng Yunsheng earlier, having been repelled by Yan Zhaoge with a single sword at that final crucial moment, Nong Yuxuan had lost most of the Dim Glorious Sabre Qi as a result.
The remaining Dim Glorious Sabre Qi became unstable once more due to those many occurrences.
Nong Yuxuan’s body was currently surging and overturning like a sea internally as he seemed to have descended into cultivation deviation once more.
He could only stand stiffly where he was, unceasingly adjusting his breathing as he re-stabilised his true essence and the Dim Glorious Sabre Qi within his body.
Getting his qi back in order with great difficulty, he saw that most of his fellow disciples who had arrived to slay Yan Zhaoge together with him had already been slain themselves.
Standing atop the air, Yan Zhaoge strode over, “In the Eight Extremities World back then, I said that I would come to the World beyond Worlds and see your Radiant Light Sect for a bit. Now, I’m here.”
He brandished his Glorious Rainbow Sword, another white sword-qi condensing which cleaved towards Nong Yuxuan.
As Nong Yuxuan gazed at Yan Zhaoge, his usual confident expression had been replaced by an extremely ugly look.
Swelteringly hot sunlight and brutal black fire appeared on his body together.
The two intermingled, forming an explosive force.
As the sunlight and the corroding power of the sun collided, Nong Yuxuan brought his palms together before raising them above his head.
It was like a massive sabre was raised high by him before chopping down towards Yan Zhaoge!
A supreme direct lineage martial art of the Radiant Light Sect, the Great Radiance Sabre, had come together with the Dim Glorious Sabre Qi to form this tyrannical sabre!
Half black, half gold. Half sabre-light, half sabre-qi. The two combined forces.
The heavens and the earth seemed to have been separated into two distinct worlds of dimness and radiance now.
Yan Zhaoge’s expression did not change as his dense, white Immortal Ending Sword sword-qi struck upwards.
Where the sword-qi passed, the boundaries of the worlds of radiance and dimness were eradicated, becoming chaotic and indistinct.
Where the two clashed, space broke apart, distorting and roiling unceasingly like water.
The sabre-light that manifested infinite radiance dimmed, was extinguished!
The darkness that devoured the heavens and corroded the sun dispersed, dissipated!
The eclipse ended as the sky and the sun appeared once more. However, the newly appeared sunlight emanated the feeling of the end.
As the sun reappeared, it was already about to set, at the end of dusk.
The remaining rays of the sun illuminated Nong Yuxuan’s ashen, defeated face.
The once handsome, refined exterior now appeared old and weak, seemingly having arrived at the end of the line as dictated by fate.
What awaited him there, was only extinction!
History's Strongest Senior Brother Chapter 676: Your fate, I decide!
HSSB676: Your fate, I decide
Yan Zhaoge struck out unforgivingly with his sword.
A severe, frenzied look appeared within Nong Yuxuan’s gaze.
He completely forsook all defence, switching to attacking Yan Zhaoge with all his might as he seemed completely set on dragging them both down into death together!
If someone had told Nong Yuxuan before this that he would be going all out against someone who had only just entered the Martial Saint realm, attempting to drag them both down into death together, he would likely have thought that the other party was spouting nonsense.
Without the Dim Glorious Sabre Qi, he was actually still even stronger than that other Radiant Light Sect Elder whom Yan Zhaoge had just slain who was also at the late Merging Avatar stage.
Having refined a portion of the Dim Glorious Sabre Qi, borrowing the explosive force from the conflicting powers of sunlight and that which corroded the sun, his power had skyrocketed as it would be extremely rare for him to meet an outstanding opponent of the same cultivation level.
Now, however, he discovered that apart from this determination, there was already nothing more than he could hope for!
“I really underestimated you! If I had known this before, I would have disregarded all costs to invade the Eight Extremities World, exterminating you and Broad Creed Mountain!”
Roaring severely, Nong Yuxuan went all out in attacking Yan Zhaoge.
Yan Zhaoge instead laughed, “This fighting method of yours will get you dead faster.”
His dense white sword-qi of the Immortal Ending Sword split into two between the heavens and the earth.
One streak of sword-light blocked Nong Yuxuan’s attack while the other continued its unstoppable momentum, hacking straight at Nong Yuxuan!
Nong Yuxuan’s eyes wavered as his gaze instantly dissipated somewhat.
He could clearly feel his true essence, qi and blood as well as spirit moving towards extinction at this moment.
Nong Yuxuan glared unrelentingly at the sword in Yan Zhaoge’s hand, “What sword dao of yours is this that is actually so sharp and ferocious, its sword-intent actually resembling the end of the world as all things fall into extinction?”
He was suddenly shocked, “Wait, could it be the legendary Immortal Extermination Four Swords? There is only that sword of extinction which manifests the power of the eternal end which could possess such a concept?”
The Radiant Light Sect had split off from the Dim Radiant Sect, which had been a Sacred Ground for martial arts in pre-Great Calamity times.
While following many ups and downs, many things had already been lost, much accumulated knowledge still remained with the others.
As an important figure of the Radiant Light Sect, Nong Yuxuan had read through all its records.
Feeling that terrifying sword-intent of Yan Zhaoge’s, he had a sudden realisation as he remembered an existence of legend.
As compared to the other powerful, most supreme martial arts, the Immortal Exterminating Four Swords which represented the arts of the end were indisputably famed more for their brutality.
Nong Yuxuan did not know the Immortal Ending Sword, only having heard of its name before.
However, he really couldn’t think of any other sword dao which could be so powerful as well as ferocious.
Yan Z
haoge brandished the Glorious Rainbow Sword once more, blocking the attack from Cheng Song behind him.
After all, Cheng Song was a fourth level Martial Saint, an expert of the early Seeing Divinity stage.
While the Northern Ocean Clone possessed remarkable power as well as the advantage in gear, he could only block him, not being able to guarantee definitely tying him down.
Amidst this long battle, Cheng Song finally managed to find a chance to break through his defensive lines. Still, his attack was still blocked by Yan Zhaoge.
Hearing Nong Yuxuan’s words, Cheng Song was greatly shocked as well, “Prime Clear direct lineage, Immortal Exterminating Four Swords?!”
He looked dazedly at Yan Zhaoge, “Right, aside from that, how could there be other sword daos that are as powerful and ferocious as this?”
“Such power would not be a division or sub-type. It is definitely the purest, most orthodox lineage!”
Gazing at Yan Zhaoge, Nong Yuxuan suddenly laughed loudly, laughing so maniacally, “Hahahaha! So your foundation is actually the direct lineage of the Prime Clear lineage!”
“No wonder you possess such power. No wonder, no wonder! It was no wonder I was defeated!”
“Still, your days ahead will not be long!” Red light circulated on Nong Yuxuan’s face as if he was reinvigorated in the final moments of his life.
His smile was maniacal and strange, hateful yet triumphant, “The Earthly Sovereign passed an order a thousand years ago that descendants of the Prime Clear lineage are not to set foot upon the World beyond Worlds!”
“Those who go against this, even if they leave the World beyond Worlds afterwards, will be slain without question!”
“This is already so for those branch lineages, what more those of the direct lineage like you?”
Looking at Yan Zhaoge, Nong Yuxuan shook his head, “You’re done for!”
Hearing his words, Yan Zhaoge raised his brows slightly, “Oh? Descendants of the Prime Clear lineage aren’t allowed to step into the World beyond Worlds?”
Three Sovereigns, Five Emperors, Exalts of Ten Territories.
This was what Old Man Mo had solemnly warned Yan Zhaoge about before he had come to the World beyond Worlds.
These eight words represented the strongest hegemons of the World beyond Worlds.
After having come to the Royal Reed Sea and come into contact with the martial practitioners of the Dim Darkness Sect and the Grand Xuan Dynasty, Yan Zhaoge knew that the current World beyond Worlds still remained beneath the reign of these eight words.
Even if those of the Royal Reed Sea did not know what experts resided there, did not know of King Xuanmu, Pavilion Lord Gu Hong of the North Sea Sword Pavilion, Chief Luo Zhiyuan of the Radiant Light Sect and the others, they would still know these eight words.
The Three Sovereigns and the Five Emperors were not those legendary ones of pre-Great Calamity times. Instead, they were the collective name for the most powerful experts of the current World beyond Worlds.
The Earthly Sovereign was one of these three sovereigns of legend.
Nong Yuxuan looked at Yan Zhaoge, “Be as arrogant as you want now. You will have no good end!”
Yan Zhaoge’s expression did not turn solemn at all as he remained calm.
Looking at Nong Yuxuan, he suddenly laughed, “Whether I will come to no good end has nothing to do with you at all.”
“Even if there’s going to be some trouble for me later on, it still would not have been caused by you. What is there to be so happy about?”
Yan Zhaoge’s smile turned icy cold, “You don’t have to be concerned about me. Be more concerned about yourself.”
“The difference between you and I are that your current actions are like praying to the heavens to give me retribution while you yourself are unable to do anything at all.”
“As for me, I can definitively tell you now that you will definitely have no good end. This will have been brought about completely by me.”
Saying thus, he stabbed out with his sword once more.
Nong Yuxuan’s eyeballs were on the verge of imploding, yet he was already unable to utter a sound.
Beneath the Immortal Ending Sword, his life force was swiftly extinguished, moving towards the end.
His vigorous true essence served no use at all as it dissipated unceasingly.
His powerful qi and blood and fleshly body served no use at all as it deteriorated unceasingly.
His firm mind and spirit served no use at all as it was extinguished unceasingly.
Seeing Nong Yuxuan gradually heading towards death, Cheng Song too felt a chill within his heart.
The Radiant Light Sect martial practitioners had all been slain, while the depths of Yan Zhaoge’s prowess seemed unfathomable.
If Nong Yuxuan too perished and Yan Zhaoge joined forces with the Northern Ocean Clone, Cheng Song felt as though he would be hard pressed to stand against them.
His mind spun urgently before his figure too spun, directly fleeing!
The fourth level Martial Saint expert no longer dared to battle as he hurriedly fled now.
Yan Zhaoge looked at him.
Within the Myriad Dragon Palace resounded Ah Hu’s voice, “Young Master, wouldn’t letting him flee be a problem?”
On the other side of the great palace hall, Feng Yunsheng was seated in the meditative position, her eyes closed as she moderated her condition.
As the roiling black fire and devilish qi was gradually absorbed by the Cold Sun Divine Sabre, the dim blue radiance formed of the power of reversed sun on the surface of the sabre gradually dimmed as it appeared to be devoured by the darkness.
However, its brutal aura of misfortune and inauspiciousness grew more vigorous and tyrannical.
When Yan Zhaoge had made his move earlier, the great gate of the Myriad Dragon Palace had opened with a suction force emitted from within, guiding Feng Yunsheng back through the gate.
Feng Yunsheng opened her eyes now.
Cheng Song was an expert of the fourth level of the Martial Saint realm, an early Seeing Divinity stage expert. If he did not want to stay behind and go all out in his efforts, instead concentrating fully on fleeing, it would definitely not be easy at all to prevent him from getting away.
Yan Zhaoge squinted, gazing into the distance, “Even if we don’t chase him, he still wouldn’t be able to escape.”
History's Strongest Senior Brother Chapter 677: Not giving any way to escape!
HSSB677: Not giving any way to escape
Before Yan Zhaoge’s words had landed, streams of radiance suddenly appeared in the distance.
Streaks of light overlapped as they drew across the horizon, forming many massive spirit talismans before they all came together to form a profound, complex formation.
A great formation obscured the distant horizon, locking down the surrounding area.
Enveloped by this formation, the region of sea that all of them were in seemed as if it had been split apart from the original heavens and earth, forming a separate, independent world of its own.
The space was isolated by this as a blurry, indistinct mist of light appeared before their eyes.
Yan Zhaoge and the others instantly felt their bodies turn strangely heavy beyond compare.
Fleeing in the distance, Cheng Song was enveloped by the formation as well as he was similarly affected by it, his fleeing speed instantly lowering before his figure gradually began descending irrepressibly.
It was not just the feeling of bearing a heavy object. Instead, it was as if every single part of their entire bodies had turned heavy.
Every bone, every bit of flesh, even every drop of blood was extremely dense and heavy.
Let alone Martial Saints like Cheng Song and Yan Zhaoge, even Martial Grandmasters like Feng Yunsheng and Ah Hu had already long since gained blood incomparably refined and blazing hot.
Each drop of blood was even heavier than mercury. When one landed on the greenery, the plants would directl
y catch fire.
Now, however, they could only feel as though every single inch of their bodies, even just the tiniest, most miniscule portion which was fine as could be, was heavy beyond compare.
It wasn’t just those in mid-air. Beneath the seawater down below, the reefs and crust of the earth were distorting strangely as well.
Enveloped by the formation’s radiance, in the Suffering River Region that neighboured the Heavenly Inheritance Region in which Yan Zhaoge had been battling Nong Yuxuan, Cheng Song and the others, time and space in these entire heavens and earth seemed to be in the midst of collapsing all at once.
In the Heavenly Inheritance Region, Elder Qi of the North Sea Sword Pavilion and the Purple Sun Martial Saint Zhang Chao who were still locked in battle both involuntarily slowed as they gazed shockedly in the direction of the Suffering River Region.
The hearts of those of the North Sea Sword Pavilion and the Dim Darkness Sect were all shocked and uncertain, “Just how many experts did the Radiant Light Sect send to surround and kill Yan Zhaoge?”
Zhang Chao was similarly shocked and at a loss, “Could it be that there was an ambush over at the Suffering River Region? The Yan brat intentionally lured Nong Yuxuan and Cheng Song over? Whose experts are they who have ambushed the Radiant Light Sect?”
He could not help but worry about his predicament. If there was an ambush at the Suffering River Region, could there also be some fatal threat awaiting him here in the Heavenly Inheritance Region?
Both sides exchanged glances, yet could only see the abnormalities and shock in the others’ gazes.
“It’s got nothing to do with them?” They realised all at once, yet just felt even more astonished.
Unlike Zhang Chao who had ascended from the Eight Extremities World, only having recently come to the World beyond Worlds, after realising that it wasn’t the Radiant Light Sect’s handiwork, Elder Qi and the others all pondered slightly before feeling stunned.
“While this is located nearing the back of the warfront, having fewer peak anti-Xuan experts, it would also not have been easy to set up such a powerful formation on our sect’s territory.”
This meant that it was not premediated on their part. Instead, the enemy had sneaked in within a very short period of time before setting up the formation on the spot.
