As he punched outwards, some of the authoritative might of the Extreme Yang Seal actually vaguely seemed to be displayed within!
“Zhang Chao, wherever you go, my Broad Creed Mountain can still take care of you,” Yan Zhaoge instead laughed, using the Yin Yang Finger once more, a hint of black and white appearing on his fingertip which circulated a rotation.
Zhang Chao’s Purple Sun Wheel that was tough and ferocious to the extreme instantly skewed off slightly in its direction.
The violent fist force no longer targeted Yan Zhaoge, instead targeting Kang Maosheng!
While Kang Maosheng had avoided death from the attack by the sword qi of Yan Zhaoge’s Immortal Ending Sword, his head was currently throbbing as he was completely unable to focus his mind now.
Facing this sudden fist of Zhang Chao’s, he could only barely take evasive manoeuvres.
Yet, the tough, ferocious Purple Sun Wheel still struck Kang Maosheng’s leg, directly breaking a leg of this descendant of the Time Flowing Sword!
Kang Maosheng clenched his teeth tightly, not uttering a sound.
Two Seeing Divinity Martial Saints joining forces against a Merging Avatar Martial Saint was a matter which would be felt inconceivable by anyone, anywhere.
Even more inconceivable was how the two Seeing Divinity Martial Saints were unable to defeat their opponent!
Yan Zhaoge moved freely despite their joint attacks, instead leaving them struggling and flustered.
What caused a chill in their hearts was how Yan Zhaoge’s mind seemed to be elsewhere.
His mind was elsewhere…
“My attacks have increased the speed at which the sword that seals the Taotie’s demonic soul is being sacrificially forged. Still, some time is still needed for this to be accomplished,” Yan Zhaoge communicated mentally with the Northern Ocean Clone in the blood pool even as he clashed with Kang Maosheng and Zhang Chao.
Even so, however, he was still leisurely and at ease beneath the joint attacks of the two great Seeing Divinity Martial Saints.
With his attainments in the Yin Yang Heavenly Scripture, Yan Zhaoge completely did not fear being attacked simultaneously by multiple opponents at all.
He had originally already possessed the profundities of the Cyclic Heavenly Scripture that reversed two extremities and the self-created Finger Flicking Shocking Thunder which swiftly returned his qi.
Now that he cultivated in the Yin Yang Heavenly Scripture, yin and yang merging and coexisting in variations between two extremities, he possessed a top-tier method of dissipating and borrowing force as his rate of recovering his qi was even more powerful. Simultaneously battling two Seeing Divinity Martial Saints, with yin and yang boosting and birthing each other, his true essence had virtually seen almost no depletion at all.
Yan Zhaoge’s Northern Ocean Clone did not fear being simultaneously attacked by multiple opponents due to the high speed that it possessed.
Unless the enemy had someone whose speed was at least close to his, being able to tie him down, the Northern Ocean Clone would be able to easily battle one against many based on his advantage of speed.
As for Yan Zhaoge himself, he was even more proficient in battling against multiple opponents and clashing intensely in long, protracted battles than the Northern Ocean Clone now.
There needed to be an opponent whose strength clearly surpassed his or one who could suppress the variations in the Yin Yang Heavenly Scripture for Yan Zhaoge to feel pressured.
Otherwise, it would be useless however many people came.
Currently, however, Zhang Chao and Kang Maosheng clearly did not meet such criteria.
Zhang Chao felt extremely bitter, a feeling of despair arising within his heart.
Back then, he had stepped into the third level of the Martial Saint realm, the late Merging Avatar stage, having been in high spirits as he prepared to reign over the entire Eight Extremities World.
Yet, Zhan Dongge too had unexpectedly improved, attaining the second level of the Martial Saint realm. In the end, he had been forced to trap himself inside a volcano.
Now, Zhan Dongge had long since passed away, while he had become the first person to successfully ascend to the World beyond Worlds from the Eight Extremities World.
This seemed to sufficiently prove that he who can laugh till the end is the true victor.
Yet, the currently Yan Zhaoge left him feeling despaired!
The person before him was another expert of the second level of the Martial Saint realm.
Zhang Chao was already incomparable to the past, having attained the fourth level of the Martial Saint realm in breaking through space and seeing Divinity. His strength had soared by leaps and bounds, no longer being comparable to how it had been in the past.
Yet, all of this was still useless.
Facing another Broad Creed Mountain martial practitioner, he was still proved the inferior!
History's Strongest Senior Brother Chapter 780: Phoenix bone
HSSB780: Phoenix bone
Yan Zhaoge’s figure flashed, his finger dictating extremities as yin and yang circulated around him.
Zhang Chao’s full-powered Purple Sun Wheel changed its trajectory slightly, slamming directly into the leg of Kang Maosheng with whom he was currently allied.
Yan Zhaoge did not cease in his movements. Even as he used the Yin Yang Finger with his left hand, the Glorious Rainbow Sword in his right hand unleashed a solitary arc of extermination, hacking at Zhang Chao once more!
Zhang Chao’s heart was overwhelmed by a desolate chill.
He could virtually predict how any of his techniques that were used to block Yan Zhaoge’s attack would most likely be useless.
His own technique would be strangely led askew by Yan Zhaoge, descending on Kang Maosheng.
As for Kang Maosheng’s attacks, they would conversely descend on him.
They seemed eternally unable to attack Yan Zhaoge, only ever able to attack the other.
Even as they faced each other’s attacks, they still had to deal with those seemingly indestructible swords of Yan Zhaoge’s.
Forcibly bearing those injuries, Zhang Chao roared, his figure shifting to the side like the sun moving across the heavens, horizontally traversing the sky.
The Sacred Sun Clan’s Leap of the Rising Sun far surpassed that displayed by other Sacred Sun Clan martial practitioners as it was executed by the Seeing Divinity Martial Saint Zhang Chao.
Yet, Yan Zhaoge’s sword-light grew even swifter as it pursued Zhang Chao, not giving him a chance to escape.
When he was a set distance away from Kang Maosheng, Zhang Chao finally moved to block Yan Zhaoge’s sword.
Yet, a shocking glow suddenly erupted from that sword-light that was shrouded by white qi.
Where the white sword-qi passed, the shadow of death instantly hung over Zhang Chao’s heart.
Illusory scenes of the end of the world and great destruction actually appeared before the eyes of the usually lucid him.
All things walked towards extinction and their eventual end, the heavens collapsing and the earth splitting apart, the earth flowing with fire as the great thousand worlds were destroyed all at once.
Zhang Chao groaned tragically, fresh blood simultaneously spurting from his wounded left shoulder and left hand and catching ablaze within the air.
He forcibly spun to receive Yan Zhaoge’s sword with his left arm.
As he was struck by the sword, Zhang Chao’s left arm directly erupted in a haze of blood.
This was actually him having shattered his left arm on his own accord!
As his shattered left arm was enveloped by Yan Zhaoge’s sword-light, its flesh and blood instantly fell apart all at once.
The bloodied mist which suffused the heavens and the earth instantly dispersed.
Still having been blazing hot blood, muscles and bones a moment ago, they all shattered, dissipating into the wind.
How incomparably sturdy was the flesh and blood of Seeing
Divinity Martial Saints? Zhang Chao had chosen to forsake his own left arm, his flesh and blood directly exploding in a terrifying rain of blood.
Ordinary martial practitioners beneath the fourth level of the Martial Saint realm would be directly blown apart by this if they had drawn near.
Yet, as this terrifying explosion was enveloped by Yan Zhaoge’s sword-light, it instantly dissipated completely as it was like the loud sound of thunder but tiny raindrops, being all bark but no bite.
As this scene landed in the eyes of Zhang Chao and Kang Maosheng, their hearts immediately sunk into the deepest, darkest pits.
Zhang Chao clutched the wound on his left shoulder from which blood was spurting like a geyser with his right hand, his entire left arm up to the shoulder already being no more.
“Never, really never would this old man have thought that not dying in the hands of Zhan Dongge, I would instead ultimately fall to one of his descendants of a few generations after.”
Zhang Chao gazed at Yan Zhaoge, “You even possess that supreme treasure, the Extreme Yang Seal.”
“A pity, a pity. This old man did not want to provoke the Nine Underworlds that year, not risking it by going down into the deep abyss of the Earth Domain. Otherwise, if this old man had obtained the Extreme Yang Seal which suppressed the crevice to the Nine Underworlds, everything afterwards would have been different.”
Zhang Chao sighed, “A pity, a pity that there are no ifs in this world. Having battled half my life, I have actually still ended up in such a state in the end. If only!”
Following that sword, Yan Zhaoge no longer looked at Zhang Chao, his expression instead changing slightly as he looked in another direction.
Fiery light suddenly shot out from a passageway of the underwater palace.
The cry of a phoenix resounded within the palace. While it was not as clear and crisp as Meng Wan’s, it appeared more authoritative and orthodox.
Looking over, Yan Zhaoge saw that it was a phoenix of flame.
The fiery phoenix did not charge towards Yan Zhaoge.
This was not the expert of the southern Blazing Heaven Territory who was here in person. Instead, it was a puppet that he had created with a secret art which could be maintained for a short period of time, its power being equivalent to that of an expert of the Merging Avatar stage.
The fiery phoenix expanded its wings, charging towards a wholly unexpected person.
Tang Yonghao!
As Zhang Chao battled Yan Zhaoge and Meng Wan battled Feng Yunsheng, Tan Yonghao just stood to the side, with Yan Zhaoge and Feng Yunsheng not attacking him.
While Tang Yonghao did not agree with Zhang Chao’s decision to abandon the Radiant Light Sect and pledge allegiance to the Grand Xuan Dynasty, he would never just flee solitarily. Now, he was silently standing a distance away, waiting for the battle to ultimately be decided.
He too was taken aback by the fiery phoenix that suddenly shot towards him now.
Yet, Tan Yonghao soon realised, “Could it be because of that bone which I just obtained?”
The blazing phoenix was swift as its wings of flame instantly came to envelop Tang Yonghao.
The blazing fire seemed set to incinerate Tang Yonghao into ashes.
While the difference between their cultivation bases seemed absolute, Tan Yonghao had no intention of giving up and begging for mercy as he stood tall against his powerful opponent.
Stimulated by those flames, a five-coloured glow was suddenly emitted from Tang Yonghao’s body.
This sudden change took Yan Zhaoge, Zhang Chao, Meng Wan and Kang Maosheng by surprise.
The silhouette of a divine bird actually manifested above Tan Yonghao’s head now.
The head of a chicken, the jaw of a sparrow, the neck of a snake, the back of a turtle, the tail of a fish, resplendent in threads of colour as it bore the five virtues-it was clearly a phoenix of flame!
The flame phoenix was surrounded by the five virtues, with the water ripples of holy virtue, the thick earth of meritorious virtue, the white qi of nether virtue and the blessed purple light of fortuitous virtue all appearing illusory.
Yet, the black and white dawn mist of moral virtue was tangible, not ceasing in its circulation.
Seeing this, Yan Zhaoge was greatly surprised, “I have never seen Tang Yonghao like this.”
Gazing over, he saw that there seemed to be an existence that flickered with radiance within Tang Yonghao’s body.
The phoenix silhouette and the dawn mist of moral virtue both originated from it.
It was not fully integrated with the rest of Tang Yanghao’s body, appearing to be independent as it should be an external object and supreme treasure that he had just obtained.
The treasure was integrated within Tan Yonghao’s body but had still yet to merge completely with it.
That fiery phoenix uttered, “This is something that belongs to me! What qualifications have you to take it as your own?”
He had not previously known about the existence of the Heaven Devouring Sword Box. It was solely for this phoenix bone that he had come to this underwater palace!
This phoenix bone contained the true intent of moral virtue, its value not simply existing here.
More importantly, this could make up for the deficiencies in his Phoenix True Form Scripture, its significance surpassing the heavens as it was worth even more than a high-grade Sacred Artifact to him!
Unexpectedly, however, it had inadvertently been obtained by Tang Yonghao after entering the underwater palace, having unexpectedly merged into his body as well.
That fiery phoenix cared not even about Yan Zhaoge now as it unleashed blazing fire which descended and enveloped Tang Yonghao’s entire body.
While the phoenix bone had already merged with Tang Yonghao’s body, it had still yet to completely integrate with it.
The fiery phoenix’s only chance now was to refine Tang Yonghao and the phoenix bone simultaneously, shedding the fleshly body to regain the original look of the phoenix bone.
Moral virtue propagated the dao and spread virtue throughout all worlds, being the source of the myriad arts.
The black and white dawn mist surrounded Tang Yonghao’s entire body, unceasingly restoring the blazing fire back into its original form of harmless spiritual qi.
Yet, the gap in their cultivation bases being too great, the blazing fire finally gradually engulfed him.
Seeing this, Meng Wan wanted to temporarily extricate herself from her battle with Feng Yunsheng, first charging over towards that phoenix. Still, it was already a little too late.
Now, a sword-light flew over, the blazing fire instantly being extinguished!

HSSB781: Those looking for trouble should go line up
Yan Zhaoge’s strength was superior to Meng Wan who was bolstered by the Extreme Yin Crown. Of all those present, he was the first to notice the arrival of that phoenix of flame.
Upon witnessing the phoenix silhouette suddenly manifesting from Tang Yonghao’s body and seeing the white and black dawn mist of moral virtue, Yan Zhaoge had come to a realisation on things.
That descendant of the Southern Exalt’s lineage had initially come to the underwater palace for this phoenix bone.
This phoenix bone only contained the dawn mist of moral virtue, lacking the true intent of the other four virtues.
With the other side still valuing it so highly, there was just one sole possibility which existed.
While the Phoenix True Form Scripture of the Southern Exalt possessed the true intent of the phoenix, it truly did lack the complete five virtues.
It was a certain thing that they possessed secret techniques for cultivating in the thick earth of meritorious virtue, the white qi of nether virtue and the blessed purple light of fortuitous virtue.
It was uncertain for the water ripples of holy virtue. Still, from the looks of it now, they likely lacked a techn
ique for cultivating in the dawn mist of moral virtue.
It was due to this that this person had risked trespassing onto the territory of the southeastern Yang Heaven Territory, coming to the Royal Reed Sea. His target had been this phoenix bone.
This also explained why Wang Hui’s group had previously actually dared to try to ruthlessly silence Ye Xin who was of the Southeastern Exalt’s lineage.
If the Southeastern Exalt were to learn of this matter, it would be very hard for them to succeed.
The relationship between the southeastern Yang Heaven Territory and their southern Blazing Heaven Territory had never been all that good.
If the phoenix bone fell into the hands of Golden Court Mountain, they would most likely use it as a hold over them, demanding harsh conditions.
The fiery phoenix spread its wings to envelop Tang Yonghao, wanting to capture him alive and refine him to restore the precious bone.
Seeing this, Yan Zhaoge cleaved out with a sword.
With him having slain a descendant of the Southern Exalt’s lineage, Li Jing, there was already enmity between him and the southern Blazing Heaven Territory.
It would clearly be detrimental to him if the Southern Exalt’s lineage improved in strength.
That flame phoenix was merely a puppet. After being struck by Yan Zhaoge’s sword, its flames were instantly dispersed as the feathers of its entire body seemed to be falling off non-stop.
“You again!” The phoenix raged.
Yan Zhaoge said casually, “Only having the arts, not having its significance. So what if you obtained this phoenix bone? You still wouldn’t be able to successfully attain the dawn mist of moral virtue.”
That phoenix descended from mid-air, the flames of its entire body gradually being extinguished.
It had been chopped into half by Yan Zhaoge’s sword blow, no longer being able to easily move.
Its aura gradually deteriorated as the spiritual qi and martial fist-intent that had originally been contained within dissipated as well.
