At this, Luo Zhiyuan and the others momentarily felt dizzy as stars arose before their eyes, darkness overwhelming their minds.
History's Strongest Senior Brother Chapter 719: One loss after another
HSSB719: One loss after another
The lamp light of the Dim Radiant Lamp was extinguished as it traversed space, heading towards the Dim Radiant Wheel like a tired bird returning to its familiar nest.
The Dim Radiant Wheel ceased to rotate once more.
One of the twelve slots of the wheel that was dark as an abyss suddenly emitted streaks of light.
Swept along by that light, the Dim Radiant Lamp entered this hole as it then vanished.
The next moment, the light dissipated, the Dim Radiant Wheel beginning to rotate once more.
Yet, another, more frightening aura suffused the area, shocking the surrounding heavens and earth.
Luo Zhiyuan forcibly stabilised his emotions that had very nearly run amok.
Gazing at Yan Zhaoge and the Dim Radiant Wheel, he roared heavily, “The Dim Radiant Lamp is simply merged together with this treasure. As long as we obtain it, it is all the same in the end!”
Amidst his low roar, Luo Zhiyuan struck out simultaneously with his hands, chopping forward.
The sun and moon that rose and fell as they circulated above his head instantly transformed into two streaks of terrifying sabre-light, one on the left and the other on the right as they descended towards Yan Zhaoge and the Dim Radiant Wheel together!
Where the sabre-light passed, all existences amidst space seemed to be purified and cleansed by the immeasurable radiance such that not even ashes or dregs of them remained.
The tyrannical, vigorous nature of the Radiant Light Sabre was displayed by Luo Zhiyuan to the point of perfection.
Apart from a world of dense white radiance, there was nothing else that could be seen before the eyes of Yan Zhaoge and the others.
Luo Zhiyuan’s gaze was icy cold, “While it may be an Immortal Artifact, it is still incomplete at the end of the day, merely being in its embryonic form!”
Also, with it still being ownerless, Luo Zhiyuan believed that with his power, he should still be able to deal with it temporarily with the help of a high-grade Sacred Artifact.
“Hurry!” Without Luo Zhiyuan having to urge them, Guo Song and the others had already shot towards Yan Zhaoge’s group once more.
Feeling the changes in the Dim Radiant Wheel, Yan Zhaoge smiled as he released the Northern Ocean Clone, telling Feng Yunsheng and Xiao Ai smilingly, “We can slowly split the treasures later.”
Amidst his words, the Northern Ocean Clone descended, directly uprooting and storing the entire mountain of treasures.
The Northern Ocean Clone extended his other hand and collected another mountain of treasures.
He ignored Guo Song and the others who were already descending upon him.
Guo Song snorted coldly, “Come, let this old man see if you really have the ability to flee from a mid Seeing Divinity Martial Saint!”
Yan Zhaoge chuckled, “You should be concerned about yourself first.”
After the Dim Radiant Wheel up above had absorbed the Dim Radiant Lamp, it was rotating at an increasingly higher speed.
Accompanied by this, the foreign dimension that they were in began to distort as well.
With the Dim Radiant Wheel as the centre, a massive vortex was seemingly formed which unceasingly swept all within the surroundings within.
Luo Zhiyuan’s Radiant Light Sabre was broken, a golden sun and a silvery moon reappearing.
The Sun Moon Wheels attempted to lock down the Dim Radiant Wheel under Luo Zhiyuan’s control. Yet, as the silver and golden radiance came into contact with the Dim Radiant Wheel, the black wheel which had already been shocking before suddenly erupted with an even more shocking aura!
A figure appeared with the Dim Radiant Wheel as its centre. He was garbed in black clothes and a white robe with black hair and white brows, his figure tall and his features authoritative.
It was shockingly the Dim Radiant Emperor, Yin Tianxia!
“Disperse your various ways,” The words seemed to traverse millennia, resounding in their ears.
Beneath the dumbfounded gazes of Luo Zhiyuan, Guo Song and the others, unprecedented bright radiance was emitted from the illusory figure of the Dim Radiant Emperor, domineeringly sweeping through the surrounding area.
The Sun Moon Wheels were directly jolted flying!
The foreign dimension began to collapse!
A stone door that flickered with a seven-coloured radiance appeared amidst space, its surface mottled and discoloured.
After the stone layer on its exterior had shattered and fallen off, the bright, smooth light of jade shook as a huge door of white jade appeared before everyone’s eyes.
The door of white jade grew amidst the air, quickly becoming more than ten times larger than the original stone door.
The tall door seemed not to be for people to pass through, instead being open for the divinities that existed above the nine heavens.
Now, a light dragon suddenly shot out from it, similarly flickering with a seven-coloured radiance.
“From the looks of it, this wasn’t left for you guys!” Yan Zhaoge laughed even as the Northern Ocean Clone had finished sweeping away the treasures as he brought along Feng Yunsheng, Xiao Ai, Ah Hu and also Pan-Pan in flying into the air.
The seven-coloured light dragon lowered its head and opened its mouth, swallowing all of them with a single gulp before flying back to the door of white jade.
Now, a layer of seven-coloured radiance shockingly surfaced on the Dim Radiant Wheel as well.
Luo Zhiyuan was stunned, “That stone door created this foreign dimension along with that ritual. It was a part of the ritual right from the start, and that Yan Zhaoge refined it first?”
The Dim Radiant Wheel broke free of the Dim Radiant Emperor’s projection, descending within the door of white jade along with the seven-coloured light dragon.
The door of white jade mightily closed.
Yet, the seven-coloured radiance still flickered unceasingly, the roars of dragons intermittently resounding amidst its glow.
Accompanied by the roars of dragons, a massive, majestic palace appeared which began gradually merging with that door of white jade amidst the seven-coloured radiance!
At the end, the door of white jade shockingly became the door of the palace. The seven-coloured radiance faded completely, with just the silhouettes of multiple dragons coiling above the palace.
Within the palace, Yan Zhaoge was seated in the meditative position while the Dim Radiant Wheel had ceased to rotate, showing no signs of movement at all as it landed quietly within the depths of space of the Myriad Dragon Palace.
However, dim light that was neither bright nor dark appeared on the surface of the Myriad Dragon Palace, protecting the palace in gradually concealing itself amidst the darkness of space.
Those of the Radiant Light Sect were unresigned as they wanted to pursue and obstruct them. Yet, the silhouette of the Dim Radiant Emperor within the air shook mightily and exploded, transforming into a rain of light.
Where the rain of light passed, the foreign dimension which had already been collapsing originally was extinguished completely!
Violent, chaotic flows of space swept through the area, actually causing the entire Dim Radiant Mausoleum to begin collapsing as well!
The tangible mausoleum and the illusory space intermingled and changed unceasingly, leading to a storm that seemed able to destroy the heavens and exterminate the earth as it even extended towards space even further beyond the mausoleum, terminating all that it encountered!
Those of the Radiant Light Sect stared wide-eyed, “Could it be that this Dim Radiant Mausoleum was not for the Emperor himself at all, instead existing for the purpose of forging that mighty treasure?”
Now that the ritual had come to an end, the Dim Radiant Mausoleum too had completed
its mission.
It was just that at this moment, things were tough for Luo Zhiyuan and the others.
The terrifying chaotic flows of space were even more terrifying, even more violent than ever before!
Even Luo Zhiyuan who was at the peak of the late Seeing Divinity stage found it hard to protect himself, having to rely on the high-grade Sacred Artifact, the Sun Moon Wheels for such.
The other Radiant Light Sect martial practitioners were scattered all around, only able to struggle amidst the shocking waves and tides.
The Sun Moon Wheels which had separated earlier had currently been jolted into two different directions.
Luo Zhiyuan barely managed to grab the sun wheel, yet could only watch on helplessly as the moon wheel was swept elsewhere, disappearing amidst the chaotic flows of space.
He wanted to pursue it, but amidst the terrifying chaotic flows of space, he was only able to barely hold on as he was swept along by the flowing currents.
The moon wheel that had finally been repaired recently after being damaged for many years, before having even gotten warm in his hand, was lost once more!
This time, even where to find it was a question without an answer. It was really well and truly lost.
The Dim Radiant Wheel, gone.
The Dim Radiant Lamp, gone.
Even the Sun Moon Wheels which had been his originally was not spared.
Luo Zhiyuan’s irrepressible howl of rage resounded amidst space.
History's Strongest Senior Brother Chapter 720: The most suitable treasure!
HSSB720: The most suitable treasure!
The eruption of the chaotic flows of space began with the dissipation of the Dim Radiant Emperor’s silhouette.
Thanks to the Dim Radiant Wheel, the Myriad Dragon Palace was enveloped by a blurry layer of radiance, protecting it completely as it navigated the chaotic flows of space.
Otherwise, even having refined the door of white jade, the Myriad Dragon Palace could only have fallen apart amidst such terrifying tides.
Yan Zhaoge and the others who were within the palace would naturally have shared the same fate.
Now, they could all stably remain in a position of safety.
Still, Yan Zhaoge noticed that the Dim Radiant Wheel was gradually descending into slumber.
Even though it had absorbed the Dim Radiant Lamp, the Dim Radiant Wheel was still not a finished product as it was merely partially complete.
A long path would still have to be walked for it to truly become an Immortal Artifact of legend that could shake the heavens and the earth.
Yan Zhaoge tried communicating with it but received no response. This treasure which had mightily revealed its extraordinariness just earlier seemed like a totally innocuous black metal wheel now as it hovered silently amidst the numerous layers of space within the Myriad Dragon Palace.
Still, Yan Zhaoge was not impatient as he just focused on the black wheel, observing it carefully.
All that had happened earlier had mostly been within his predictions, having been influenced into actuality by him.
However, some matters conveyed to him quite a few things which he had not known beforehand.
“Young Master,” Rubbing his big hands, Ah Hu curiously came over from the side, “Apart from this, what else did we gain this time?”
Yan Zhaoge laughed, “If you’re talking about things which we can see immediate effects from, the first would have to be this thing.”
The Northern Ocean Clone smiled as he unfurled his fingers, light emanating from his palm.
The next moment, an ashen object that resembled a bone appeared on it.
Ah Hu looked curiously at that piece of bone, carefully distinguishing it for a long time before confirming that he had never seen it before.
“It seems like some kind of spinal bone, some section of vertebra?” Ah Hu scratched his huge head.
Pan-Pan scooted over as well, sniffing mightily as he seemed like he might be able to tell something.
While he had never seen a specimen of this species before, from his ancestral memories that were engraved deep in his bloodline, he vaguely felt a little like it was familiar.
Pan-Pan glanced at it for a moment before revealing an ‘although I don’t recognise it, it looks tasty’ expression. Then, he licked his lips and swept his tongue towards that piece of bone.
The Northern Ocean Clone stopped him, with Yan Zhaoge smiling, “Hold up! Other things might be fine, but you can’t eat this.”
Pan-Pan blinked, seemingly unable to understand as he extended his tongue towards it once more.
“Pa!”
Yan Zhaoge exasperatedly flicked his big forehead, “Stop acting dumb with me! It’s not like you can’t understand what I’m saying.”
Pan-Pan clutched his head with his front paws, opening his mouth wide as he revealed a simple and honest smile.
Looking at that piece of bone, Yan Zhaoge said slowly, “To you, it may just be a tasty meal, but to my Northern Ocean Clone, there really couldn’t be anything better.”
The Northern Ocean Clone smiled, exerting force with his palm as that ashen bone began trembling.
The ashen colour gradually faded, streaks of golden light being emitted from within the bone!
The entire bone turned bright, transparent and dazzling, resembling a golden crystal.
This bone seemed like it had a life of its own as it began leaping about unceasingly, emitting booms from within that resembled wild roars that were traversing through time back from millennia past.
Within the golden light, an illusory scene was vaguely visible.
Within it was a vast, broad ocean that was boundless and without end.
As tides roiled within, a massive figure vaguely traversed the depths of the sea.
Massive waves that rivalled the heavens as well as violent tsunamis were all crushed into oblivion whenever this massive figure drew near.
As this massive dark silhouette floated upwards, gradually nearing the ocean surface, it resembled a small continent in itself whose dimensions were not easily calculable at all.
The black silhouette finally floated above the ocean surface. It was actually a colossal fish that was massive beyond compare!
As the massive fish traversed the ocean, it revealed its vast, vigorous power that seemed able to bear all the weight of the heavens and the earth.
This massive fish leapt out from the water, transforming into a similarly massive roc in mid-air.
The great roc spread its wings, instantly soaring above the nine heavens as it vanished within the sky with no trace of its figure remaining.
Seeing this, Ah Hu directed his gaze at Yan Zhaoge’s Northern Ocean Clone as he blurted out, “Roc-fish, Kunpeng!”
“That’s right,” Yan Zhaoge nodded slightly, “This is precisely the bone of a Kunpeng.”
As the golden light was emitted and the silhouette appeared, that Kunpeng bone that was bright and smooth as a crystal had also begun to expand speedily, looking like it would soon be even larger than the Myriad Dragon Palace.
A satisfied look appeared on Yan Zhaoge’s face, “It is a vertebrae bone of a pure Kunpeng with the concept of that Kunpeng condensed within, pure and abundant.”
The Northern Ocean Clone extended his hands, pressing down on the bone together.
Beneath his true essence, the bone no longer expanded. However, those around him could feel that the aura within was actually strengthening.
Light surged on the Northern Ocean Clone’s palm, seemingly able to contain the heavens and earth within a speck of dust.
The Kunpeng bone vanished, but golden light surged from the Northern Ocean Clone’s entire body.
As he breathed, the golden light rapidly turned into a black light before instantly changing back again, this cycle constantly repeating.
The Northern Ocean Clone sat in the meditative position, his eyes closed tightly as he entered the meditative state. He no longer spoke as he was instead ref
ining the Kunpeng bone with all his might.
Not only was he absorbing the essence qi within, more importantly, he had to comprehend the concept that originated from the true ferocious beast of legend, the Kunpeng.
Like this, the Northern Ocean Clone’s martial foundation was improved as he strove for greater heights!
Seeing that things were more or less going well with the Northern Ocean Clone’s cultivation, Yan Zhaoge returned his attention to other matters.
There were endless treasures beneath the altar, and Yan Zhaoge had also successfully obtained the most powerful martial arts of the Dim Radiant Sect, the Dim Radiant Twelve Arts when he was there.
While Yan Zhaoge did know of even stronger martial arts, he felt very interested in this particular one.
This was because he discovered that there was actually the shadow of primordial chaos vaguely contained within it.
This was extremely hard to come by.
This was because primordial chaos, the origin of all things, was the might of the ancestor of the Jade Clear lineage that was at the head of the three Clear lineages, the Lord of Primordial Beginning.
The second scripture of the Primordial Heavenly Scriptures, the Origin Heavenly Scripture, symbolised the birth of all objects from nothingness, the primordial ‘one’.
The Origin Heavenly Scripture could be simultaneously cultivated in by many people at the same time. However, only one of them could achieve major completion in it, the paths of all the rest hence being cut off.
Meanwhile, the first of the Primordial Heavenly Scriptures, the Peerless Heavenly Scripture from which all arts stemmed, was even more extreme.
The Lord of Primordial Beginning was one of a kind.
The peerless infinity of all things returning to nothing was similarly one of a kind.
It was only after the Lord of Primordial Beginning had Transcended that the first of the Primordial Heavenly Scriptures, the Peerless Heavenly Scripture, could be cultivated in by someone else.
