Yan Zhaoge laughed, pointing at himself, “You want to use me as bait?”
A cold light surfaced in the middle-aged man’s gaze, “The traps that she set have killed and injured many others of my lineage. Even if we cannot bait her out of hiding, you can pay for the lives of my fellow disciples at the very least!”
With that, he directly reached out and tapped towards Yan Zhaoge with a finger.
A speck of green light flickered into existence on his fingertip before instantly transforming into a green clump of thunder that was even larger than a mountain peak!
History's Strongest Senior Brother Chapter 844: Not leaving anyone alive!
HSSB844: Not leaving anyone alive!
The Eastern Exalt’s lineage cultivated in what was known as the Longevity Martial Scripture.
It was a branch of the direct lineage of the past Four Imperials of Daoism, the Southern Extremity Longevity Emperor.
Those who cultivated in the Longevity Martial Scripture would have their longevities extended, brimming with endless life force as their auras prospered.
Their true essence and aura-qi could nourish boundless life force, transforming into the qi of boundless lifeforms.
Plants and trees thrived on Remote Cloud Mountain as a large amount of rare spirit plants and medicines could be found there, causing it to be famed throughout the World beyond Worlds.
The Eastern Exalt and the Southeastern Exalt whose domains neighboured each other were both renowned beneath the heavens for their skill in alchemy.
The difference was that the outstanding alchemical skills of the Southeastern Exalt, Cao Jie, were simply his own talent. There were few amongst his disciples who received his legacy in this area.
Meanwhile, the Eastern Exalt’s lineage contained many who were experts in pill concoction and famed for their skill in alchemy.
In the entire World beyond Worlds, the average pill concoction level of Clear Light Locale disciples was a cut above the rest.
In this, they benefited from the local environment of Remote Cloud Mountain as well as the unique characteristics of the Longevity Martial Scripture.
Still, this definitely did not mean that they were lacking in combat power.
Now, this middle-aged man executed the Second Wood Green Thunder Finger of the Longevity Martial Scripture as beneath that single finger, thunder was born which instantly enveloped the heavens and earth.
The thunderbolts possessed the true intent of destruction whilst also a concept of nourishing the myriad creatures, nurturing the creation of the world.
The life force of the Qinghua wood spirit was instantly transformed into fierce, violent thunderbolts of destruction.
As soon as he acted, the middle-aged man went all out with his full strength.
Even as he tapped out towards Yan Zhaoge with a finger of his right hand, he abruptly raised his left hand.
A large flag expanded amidst the air, quickly transforming into a streak of light which rose into the skies before scattering downwards as a rain of light.
Enveloped by this rain of light, Yan Zhaoge’s gaze flickered slightly as he realised after a moment, “…Suppressing me, preventing me from using treasures?”
That middle-aged man had a cold look on his face.
This large flag was a one-time use treasure that they had originally prepared to use against Xue Chuqing.
While Xue Chuqing wasn’t here, Yan Zhaoge had appeared. They thus used it against him now.
While Yan Zhaoge’s fame was currently widespread throughout, everyone’s understanding of him was still limited, this being especially so for those outside of the southeastern Yang Heaven Territory.
Still, the existence of the Extreme Yang Seal was something that no one could overlook.
Even this spirit flag would not be able to restrict a treasure like the Extreme Yang Seal for too long a time despite its wondrous abilities.
Therefore, that middle-aged man cared not that he was a whole three cultivation levels higher than Yan Zhaoge as he attacked rampantly now, wanting to bring a swift end to this battle.
The other Clear Light Locale martial practitioners all crowded over as well.
Yan Zhaoge had not concealed his age. A late Merging Avatar Martial Saint as young as him already left one feeling shocked.
They had clearly left three fellow disciples guarding the entrance to the dimensional passageway, one of them having been a mid Seeing Divinity Martial Saint.
In the end, Yan Zhaoge had still managed to barge into this area, with the fates of those three people unknown. These Clear Light Locale martial practitioners dared not underestimate him.
Yan Zhaoge totally ignored the green clump of thunder that enveloped his field of vision.
A figure suddenly appeared before him in the form of a streak of light as he punched outwards, directly shattering and destroying that massive orb of thunder that was as massive as a mountain!
It was none other than the Northern Ocean Clone who had moved.
The Northern Ocean Clone’s figure flickered as he arrived before that late Seeing Divinity Martial Saint.
The violent punch caused the other party’s brows to instantly twitch wildly, “Where has an expert like this sprung up from? This is an expert of the fifth level of the Martial Saint realm?”
How many peak experts of the late Seeing Divinity stage possessed power as overwhelming as this?
A few people unconsciously realised that it was no wonder that senior apprentice-brother Lao had failed to protect the entrance. Yan Zhaoge did not just rely on treasures like the Extreme Yang Seal…
As such thoughts arose within their minds and the Northern Ocean Clone acted, Yan Zhaoge’s figure abruptly moved as well.
The acupoints of his entire body pulsed as indistinct radiance flickered within, resembling the bright, myriad stars of the night sky.
Seeing this, the Clear Light Locale disciples were even more shocked than when they had seen the Northern Ocean Clone, “He already refined all his acupoints to see Divinity?! How is that possible?”
The next moment, they realised that this was really impossible, “It is just an illusory inner universe. They have still yet to truly resonate with the stars of the universe…”
Still, before they could actually relax, Yan Zhaoge had already strode forth and arrived before them.
He raised a palm which seemingly enveloped the vast sky.
Yan Zhaoge first arrived before an opponent of the fourth level of the Martial Saint realm before striking forth with a palm.
Seeing this palm that seemed like the Heavenly Broad Creed Palm, his opponent instinctively believed that he should be able to withstand it.
This early Seeing Divinity Martial Saint snorted coldly, leaving one hand level before his chest as he raised the other, retaliating with a palm of his own.
With this fist stance, a block of green wood instantly appeared amidst space, reigning domineeringly between the heavens and the earth and it resembled divine wood that connected to the heavens.
As Yan Zhaoge’s palm descended, it was like the heavens were collapsing.
As for his Green Wood Towering Heaven Palm, it was like a towering pillar which supported the heavens, supporting the sky that seemed about to collapse.
Seeing this, Yan Zhaoge laughed.
At that instant when their palms met, the majestic power within Yan Zhaoge’s palm that reversed causality and effect, overturning the heavens and the earth, directly broke that wood connecting to the heavens with a single palm!
The snapping sound was crisp yet deafening as it boomed mightily.
The arm of that Clear Light Locale disciple broke directly into several segments!
Yan Zhaoge’s palm did not halt in the slightest as it smoothly continued downwards!
With a single palm, he pressured the other party’s palm, forcibly pressuring down towards his head.
Another bang resounded as the opponent’s head was directly shattered by Ya
n Zhaoge, his palm and head simultaneously blasting apart into a rain of blood.
The other Clear Light Locale disciples were wide-eyed and tongue-tied as they had never expected Yan Zhaoge to be fearsome to such an extent.
A late Merging Avatar Martial Saint had directly slain an early Seeing Divinity Martial Saint who had already refined his acupoints to see Divinity with a single palm!
Their fellow disciple of the fourth level of the Martial Saint realm had actually been unable to take even a single blow!
The descendants of Remote Cloud Mountain’s Clear Light Locale did not use some normal legacy.
Even Clear Light Locale’s rather more average disciples would be elites amongst martial practitioners of the same cultivation level in the eastern Vast Heaven Territory, in the southeastern Yang Heaven Territory, in anywhere they were placed.
Yet, one of them had actually just been slain with a single palm by someone who had yet to break through space and see true Divinity?
Although word from the southeastern Yang Heaven Territory was that Yan Zhaoge possessed shocking might, not having personally clashed with him before, no one at all would be able to imagine that he was actually powerful to this extent, fearsome beyond compare!
With the suddenness of this matter that surpassed everyone’s expectations, everyone else present were unable to even assist their fellow disciple as they could only watch helplessly as he was slain.
Yan Zhaoge’s expression was calm, “Capturing me? I intend to capture you too. There are some things that I would like to ask you about.”
Still, after he was done questioning them, Yan Zhaoge did not intend to leave anyone alive this time.
After slaying his first opponent with a Cyclic Heavenly Seal, Yan Zhaoge strode forth, continuing towards the others.
History's Strongest Senior Brother Chapter 845: The one who played dead and fled
HSSB845: The one who played dead and fled
After slaying his first enemy with a single palm, Yan Zhaoge switched his target to the others.
While he said that he wanted to capture them and extract words out of them, this was actually aimed merely at their leader who was of the sixth level of the Martial Saint realm.
This person clearly knew the most things.
Everyone was currently unable to use Sacred Artifacts as they relied on their cultivation bases alone.
After detecting Yan Zhaoge’s shocking might, that middle-aged man of the sixth level of the Martial Saint realm tried to attack him.
Yet, the Northern Ocean Clone blocked his path, faster and stronger than him as his continuous attacks left him desperately occupied and otherwise engaged.
The expressions of the three Clear Light Locale disciples were stern as had never before.
“What exactly is with this Yan Zhaoge? Why does he feel even more dominant than that ‘Grand Red Lotus’ Fu Ting?”
Yan Zhaoge found himself opponents in ascending order.
After killing his first opponent, he targeted another expert of the early Seeing Divinity stage.
That person was a thin youth who appeared around thirty on the outside.
Looking at Yan Zhaoge, a look of fear actually appeared on his face as he turned, attempting to flee.
Yet, ignoring the fact that Clear Light Locale’s legacy was not renowned for his speed, even for fourth level Martial Saints who cultivated in martial arts that were famed for their speed, there were few of them who would be able to outrun the current Yan Zhaoge.
Yan Zhaoge strode forward, immediately arriving behind him before substituting sword with finger, stabbing out with a single sword towards his back.
That youth uttered not a sound as his body suddenly fell limp, toppling forward to the ground below.
Now, the remaining Clear Light Locale expert of the mid Seeing Divinity stage rushed rampantly over.
His palm manifested the momentum of yin and yang, one in front, one behind, one illusory, one real.
Between his hands, his vigorous true essence surged into existence.
Streams of clear qi manifested as a giant, towering tree which was nurtured amidst space within his very palm.
Then, wood birthed fire, fire birthed earth, earth birthed gold, gold birthed water and water birthed wood once more.
The Five Elements all birthed one another as soon, piercing golden light, a giant towering tree, surging water, blazing fire and a lofty mountain peak all appeared within that person’s palms.
As they circulated, the power of the Five Elements bolstered one another before a vortex was finally formed.
The vortex unceasingly drew in the Five Elements spiritual qi of the surrounding heavens and earth at an increasingly higher rate.
The abundant qi of lifeforms cultivated through the Longevity Martial Scripture was infused within this vortex.
The next moment, a suffocating aura of boundless death which left one on the brink of despair was born, its momentum surging to the heavens!
The vortex drew in even more Five Elements spiritual qi, circulating at a higher rate as it grew more powerful.
As the vortex grew more powerful, the life force was transformed into an even more decisive intent of death with even more vicious, ferocious power!
Rotating the Nine Elements, reversing life and death.
Remote Cloud Mountain’s Clear Light Locale’s direct lineage martial art, the Five Elements Samsara Wheel!
Yan Zhaoge laughed out loud, “Come on then.”
He tapped out with a finger, a speck of black and white appearing on his fingertip which transformed into fishes of yin and yang as a Taiji diagram now circulated.
Space rumbled as dense white qi and black qi appeared simultaneously, intermingling and shifting with yin and yang reversing as a result.
Wondrous changes seemed to be born in the principles of the heavens and earth at this moment.
The ferocious palm force of the Five Elements Samsara Palm was instantly unable to land on Yan Zhaoge as it instead tilted strangely to the side, shockingly directed at the person who was in the midst of battling the Northern Ocean Clone.
That sixth level Martial Saint was already exerting his full strength in battling the Northern Ocean Clone as he had not the leisure to pay attention to everything else that was occurring around him.
As a result, he was taken completely unawares as he was very nearly injured by his own lineage’s Five Elements Samsara Wheel.
Very fortunately for him, he too was extremely familiar with the Five Elements Samsara Wheel.
As the death qi neared him, it was virtually instinctual as he instantly executed the Five Elements Samsara Wheel, forcibly going against the current and switching death to life as only then did he successfully manage to deflect that killing blow that had suddenly sprung at him out of nowhere.
However, the Northern Ocean Clone made use of this chance to land a mighty fist on his chest, causing him to spew out a mouthful of blood as he toppled backwards in retreat.
Martial practitioners who cultivated in the Longevity Martial Scripture possessed incomparably powerful life force and recuperative abilities as they would recover quickly after getting injured.
The Northern Ocean Clone’s fist was not to the extent that his life would be lost for good at once.
However, his situation which had already not been good before became even more perilous now.
Now, this middle-aged man of the sixth level of the Martial Saint realm instantly fell at a disadvantage against the Northern Ocean Clone that would be difficult indeed to reverse.
While his wounds were healing, the Northern Ocean Clone’s attacks that were even more urgent would only exacerbate his injuries.
As for the opponent in front of Yan Zhaoge, his Five Elements Samsara Wheel having missed, his expression instantly changed slightly.
Yan Zhaoge laughed lightly as he lined his index and middle fingers into a sword with his other hand, stabbing outwards with another sword.
T
his time, his sword contained the brutal sword-intent of the Immortal Ending Sword.
This was the sword of the eternal end which had a relation to the surrounding heavens and earth.
The sword-intent sent all things between the heavens and earth to their end. Meanwhile, the more terrible the surroundings currently were, the more it was like the end of the world, the stronger the might of the Immortal Exterminating Four Swords would correspondingly be.
The other party’s Five Elements Samsara Wheel turned life into death, death qi running rampant.
The mere aura of death alone was not of a tribulation at the end of the world in the general sense.
Before having arrived at the end of the world, the world could also be riddled with death all round.
However, having arrived at the end of the world, all lifeforms would mercilessly be exterminated, meeting their permanent end.
As Yan Zhaoge’s Immortal Ending Sword traversed the death qi, its sword-intent was boosted to a chilling, frightening extent.
That martial practitioner of the fifth level of the Martial Saint realm attempted to reverse life and death between his palms once more, wanting to return the qi of death into the qi of life.
For a martial practitioner of his level who had cultivated in the Five Elements Samsara Wheel for so long, such a switch was completely natural and easy as it could be completed within a single breath without any delay at all.
However, Yan Zhaoge was even faster than him!
Before the variation in the Five Elements Samsara Wheel could manifest, Yan Zhaoge had already broken through the defences of his palm force with a single sword, piercing straight into his chest!
That person instantly emitted a muffled groan as blood spurted out from his chest.
Yan Zhaoge had just been about to capitalise on his momentum when his heart suddenly jolted, “Oh? Not dead?”
He immediately gazed down below.
The corpse of the second Clear Light Locale disciple whom he had killed should have been there.
