The enmity between he and Yan Zhaoge was such that they could not conceivably exist beneath the same heavens!
Therefore, his decision was to immediately go all out!
Not only did he go all out, he even immediately equipped his high-grade Sacred Artifact, the Cloud Circulating Heavenly Light Sword!
Bolstered by the power of his Sacred Artifact, the strength of this full-powered blow of Kang Ping’s whose power had already been outstanding originally closely approached that of his Grand Master, Shen Lingzi.
Beneath that one sword, the heavens and earth before him were directly reduced to chaotic flows of space!
Looking at this enemy whom he had once had to exert all means to deal with even when the other party had been bare-handed, even having lacked full confidence of success then, Yan Zhaoge was calm indeed.
“A sword of time…” Yan Zhaoge chuckled, “The flowing of time is indeed one of the most powerful existences in this world, one that can change many things.”
The two connected furnaces reappeared.
Yan Zhaoge lightly clapped downwards, the Internal Crystal Furnace separating from the Profound Sky Purple Gold Furnace.
From within the Internal Crystal Furnace, streams of purple light shot into the skies as a dark green bamboo cane slowly rose into the air.
It had seven segments and was seven feet long.
History's Strongest Senior Brother Chapter 877: Made to beat high-grade Sacred Artifacts!
HSSB877: Made to beat high-grade Sacred Artifacts!
Kang Ping cultivated in the Aeon Light Heavenly Scripture. As his sword descended, it was as though the flowing of time was overlooked as it was swift to the extreme.
Any opponents who were weaker than him would generally still have yet to react when they would already have been stabbed dead.
However, as the current Yan Zhaoge saw it, while Kang Ping’s movements were indeed fast, he was able to clearly see all of these movements.
Yan Zhaoge’s movements were similarly very fast. However, they appeared very leisurely and casual as he was not panicked or flustered in the slightest.
The dark green bamboo cane that flickered with purple light fell into Yan Zhaoge’s hands.
The next moment, red light flickered amidst the purple radiance.
Yan Zhaoge raised the bamboo cane and swung it a half-circle in mid-air before solidly striking down on Kang Ping’s Cloud Circulating Heavenly Light Sword!
A ‘smack’ resounded as the sword-light of the Cloud Circulating Heavenly Light Sword instantly dimmed somewhat.
Kang Ping abruptly retracted his pupils.
His sword-intent which had originally been totally integrated with his sword, both bolstering each other with neither being distinguishable from the other, directly broke apart!
The blade of the Cloud Circulating Heavenly Light Sword was directly jolted away to the side by the dark green bamboo cane in Yan Zhaoge’s hand.
The high-grade Sacred Artifact sword rung endlessly, resembling someone’s pained, agonised cries.
Kang Ping was even able to see a faint crack appearing on the blade that was clear as flowing water!
The blurry yet mild sword-light suddenly turned bright and dazzling at this moment.
It was as though the flow of the endless river of time had suddenly been broken at some point.
Time fell apart, chaos descending in the human realm.
Yan Zhaoge strode forward, trampling on that river of time that seemed to preside over everything.
Kang Ping’s expression was solemn as it had never been before.
He knew about this dark green bamboo cane.
His son Kang Jingyuan had once eaten a great loss due to Yan Zhaoge’s bamboo cane.
Having heard about it afterwards, Kang Ping too had been totally unable to get his head around this.
Now, having seen this bamboo cane for himself and witnessed its miraculous abilities, he still could not understand it.
It possessed no majestic power.
It possessed no unique concept.
It possessed no overflowing spiritual qi.
It possessed nothing at all.
Yet, his high-grade Sacred Artifact, the Cloud Circulating Heavenly Light Sword, had been beaten into submission by it, trembling at the impact!
Kang Ping also noted how this bamboo cane should originally possess five segments and a length of five feet according to what Kang Jinyuan had said.
It was able to beat low-grade Sacred Artifacts, yet had been unable to do anything to the mid-grade Sacred Artifact, the Turbid Heavenly Mirror Armour.
Yet, this bamboo cane was currently clearly seven feet long, also having beaten the high-grade Sacred Artifact, the Cloud Circulating Heavenly Light Sword into, powerless submission!
“This thing is getting more and more powerful!” Kang Ping thought of many treasures of legend but were unable to put a name to it.
Yan Zhaoge grasped the dark green bamboo cane in his right hand, lightly exercising his wrist as the bamboo cane spun within the air.
When the bamboo cane had possessed five segments, it had been able to shatter all artifacts below the Sacred Artifact level into smithereens with a single strike as low-grade Sacred Artifacts had been unable to stand against it as well.
At six segments, low-grade Sacred Artifacts had fallen with a single blow, mid-grade Sacred Artifacts having been extremely vulnerable too.
However, for Yan Zhaoge who possessed quite a few high-grade Sacred Artifacts, mid-grade Sacred Artifacts already posed no threat to him.
What he needed was a trump card that countered the high-grade Sacred Artifacts of his enemies.
Immortal Bridge Martial Saints were able to fully exert the power of high-grade Sacred Artifacts.
The combined power unleashed by an Immortal Bridge Martial Saint with a high-grade Sacred Artifact far surpassed that of a Seeing Divinity Martial Saint with a high-grade Sacred Artifact.
Even if he was able to compete with Immortal Bridge Martial Saints as a Seeing Divinity Martial Saint, he would still lose out in terms of weaponry.
The answer to this difficult problem was none other than this dark green bamboo cane that he had specifically forged for himself.
Six segments were insufficient, but seven segments weren’t!
When Yan Zhaoge attained the Seeing Divinity stage, this bamboo cane would be able to go from six to seven segments.
Yan Zhaoge had long since been preparing for this.
Unbeknownst to outsiders, apart from Yan Di’s Heavenly Dragon Sabre and an Immortal Talisman Embroidered Robe for Yuan Zhengfeng, the mid-grade Sacred Artifacts that Broad Creed Mountain had accumulated all these years had actually all been brought to the Vast Ocean World by him.
The Precipitous Golden Armour, the Cloud Commanding Spear, the gains from slaying the Buddhist martial practitioners and those of the Eastern Exalt’s lineage, the gains from slaying the Grand Xuan Dynasty martial practitioners…
Most mid-grade Sacred Artifacts were unable to descend to the lower worlds. Yan Zhaoge had directly stuffed them all to be suppressed in the Profound Sky Purple Gold Furnace.
All these years, all these mid-grade Sacred Artifacts, all taken by Yan Zhaoge all for this day.
After his ascension into the World beyond Worlds, Yan Zhaoge had immediately opened the furnace and further refined the dark green bamboo cane.
A bamboo cane of seven feet had been born, specifically made to beat high-grade Sacred Artifacts!
Yan Zhaoge rotated his arm and brought the cane down, the sword-light of the Cloud Circulating Heavenly Light Sword instantly dimming yet further.
His thoughts hastily flowing, Kang Ping’s gaze now hardened.
The sword-light that resembled water was abruptly retracted as it fell upon Kang Ping himself.
His movements instantly became extraordinarily swift as his speed rose to a whole new level!
He became as fast as a streak of light as his figure
was almost indiscernible in mid-air, hard to catch a glimpse of.
Since he could not block it, he would not block it then. He would raise his speed to the maximum and make use of his advantage in this area to make the bamboo cane unable to touch his Cloud Circulating Heavenly Light Sword!
“Smack!”
Kang Ping stared, his eyes all wide.
Yan Zhaoge looked smilingly at him.
A red speck of light appeared at the tip of the bamboo cane, marking its trajectory within the air with a red line being formed as the Cloud Circulating Heavenly Light Sword was accurately struck once more!
Not waiting for Kang Ping to change his stance, Yan Zhaoge’s bamboo cane battered down like a tempestuous storm, overwhelming him completely as he powerlessly took a beating!
Streaks of red light flickered, breaking apart that long river of time formed of the Time Flowing Sword into several different segments.
At this moment, time seemed to have shattered entirely!
Kang Ping’s gaze froze as he abruptly realised, “Immortal Trapping Sword?! You are versed in the Immortal Trapping Sword of the Immortal Exterminating Four Swords?”
Exterminating Immortal sharp, Slaughtering Immortal death, Trapping Immortal doth red light arise.
Ending Immortal variations are infinitely subtle, stained in the blood of highest Divinities all round.
The Immortal Trapping Sword was the sword of the end which hacked and slew time and space!
Cultivated to the peak, one sword could exterminate space and time, breaking apart the long river of time and shattering billions of worlds.
It could be said that the concept of the Immortal Trapping Sword was somewhat connected to those of the Spatial Heavenly Scripture and the Aeon Light Heavenly Scripture, simultaneously birthing and countering one another as they ultimately stemmed from the same source.
Meanwhile, in actual battles, when the difference in strength between both sides was not huge, the Immortal Trapping Sword was said to be the counter of the Spatial Heavenly Scripture and the Aeon Light Heavenly Scripture!
Yan Zhaoge laughed, “When hosting your son back then, this Yan was still not versed in this sword, thus inevitably failing somewhat in taking care of him. Today, I will pay it back all at once with you.”
Kang Ping inhaled deeply, “No wonder, no wonder! I already found your sword dao to be sharp and domineering to the extreme back then, being rather strange. Now that I think about it properly, that was also one of the Immortal Exterminating Four Swords, the Immortal Ending Sword!”
“You are actually versed in both the Immortal Trapping Sword and the Immortal Ending Sword. Who would believe it if you say you are not of the Prime Clear direct lineage?”
He said coldly, “Your days are numbered in the World beyond Worlds. Even if we don’t kill you, there are still many others who would!”
“You don’t have to worry about that,” Yan Zhaoge smiled nonchalantly, though that smile was icy cold indeed, “What was it that gave you the mistaken impression that you can live past today?”
Amidst his laughter, each sword of Yan Zhaoge’s was faster than the previous, faster even than Kang Ping!
Where the red-light passed, chaotic space distorted and collapsed.
Where the red-light passed, the pale, frozen world regained its normalcy.
Where the red light passed, the flow of the vast river of time was directly broken!
Even though Kang Ping was a rare, heaven-defying genius who possessed shocking might, he was currently still being totally dominated by Yan Zhaoge!
The sword-light that resembled water which suffused the air was riddled with red cracks before it finally mightily shattered.
The high-grade Sacred Artifact, the Cloud Circulating Heavenly Light Sword, wailed mournfully as it was directly beaten out of Kang Ping’s hand by Yan Zhaoge’s dark green bamboo cane!
History's Strongest Senior Brother Chapter 878: If you’re capable, come battle. If you’re not, shut up.
HSSB878: If you’re capable, come battle. If you’re not, shut up.
Yan Zhaoge’s dark green bamboo cane directly struck the Cloud Circulating Heavenly Light Sword out of Kang Ping’s hand before he tapped out with a sword towards Kang Ping’s throat.
A treasured light lit up on Kang Ping’s body, a robe at the mid-grade Sacred Artifact level manifesting as numerous sigils which formed a barrier that resembled rippling water, blocking the incoming attack.
While the rippling water seemed weak, its defensive power was not low as it was even mightier when worn by a powerful expert like Kang Ping.
However, as the dark green bamboo cane descended, the rippling water soundlessly shattered.
Not even a single ripple arose as a result.
The robe that Kang Ping wore was directly reduced to flowing light as it completely broke apart.
A mid-grade Sacred Artifact was completely extinguished by that single cane of Yan Zhaoge’s!
Yan Zhaoge asked nonchalantly, “How many other mid-grade Sacred Artifacts do you have?”
Kang Ping uttered not a sound as he suddenly spun, his sword dao unleashed to the maximum as his sword-light enveloped Yan Zhaoge.
Where the radiance passed, Yan Zhaoge’s movements seemed to have slowed whereas Kang Ping’s speed abruptly rose.
He transformed into a streak of light, instantly arriving at Yan Zhaoge’s flank whereupon he substituted sword with finger, piercing straight towards Yan Zhaoge’s temple.
While the dark green bamboo cane was absolutely competent in striking Sacred Artifacts and treasures, its power was limited when striking an Immortal Bridge Martial Saint like him, being inferior to that of high-grade Sacred Artifacts.
Kang Ping remained resolute as he was not discouraged, immediately calming down and launching a counterattack upon noticing this.
Even without the Cloud Circulating Heavenly Light Sword in hand, he was going to forcibly take down Yan Zhaoge with his strength as an early Immortal Bridge Martial Saint that far surpassed the norm!
However, Yan Zhaoge substituted sword with bamboo cane, brandishing it with ease as red light flickered.
The sword-light of the Time Flowing Sword that enveloped him was instantly sliced apart.
Yan Zhaoge tapped lightly with his bamboo cane, sword tip against sword tip as the top of the bamboo cane accurately tapped down upon Kang Ping’s fingertip.
Red light flickered as that concept that extinguished space and time erupted, blood instantly splattering from Kang Ping’s middle and index fingers which resembled the blade of a sword!
Illuminated by the bloodied light, the crimson sword-light of the Immortal Trapping Sword grew increasingly brighter as well as piercingly sharp as it shot forward!
Following that, from the fingertip to the palm to the wrist to the arm to the shoulder, Kang Ping’s entire arm was shattered!
The splattering blood hovered amidst space, dispersing at an extremely low rate as space and time seemed to have slowed as if solidified.
Kang Ping emitted a muffled groan, toppling backwards.
Yan Zhaoge said mildly, “Not a bad idea. Still, you are not my match even fighting bare-handed.”
Now, the distant heavens and earth suddenly shook as boundless blurry radiance which resembled a mighty torrent of water rapidly extended over, instantly arriving.
“So you are Yan Zhaoge?”
An ancient voice resounded. It was none other than Kang Ping’s Grand Master, Shen Lingzi!
For fear that Lin Hanhua and the other Golden Court Mountain martial practitioners might suddenly intervene, he had originally been staying as backup, patrolling the Royal Reed Sea whilst being ready to reinforce the Spirit Inheritance Region or Kang Ping at any time as was necessary.
He believed that even though Yan Zhaoge had refined his acupoints to see Divinity and stepped into the fourth level of the Martial Saint realm as he also possessed the Extreme Yang Seal, he should still not be Kang Ping’s match.
Even Shen Lingzi himself would not find it easy to defeat this descendant of his whom he thought most highly of at the same cultivation level.
Yet, never in Shen Lingzi’s wildest dreams would he have imagined Kang Ping actually seemingly about to perish to Yan Zhaoge’s sword like he was now!
Greatly shocked, Shen Lingzi hurriedly rushed over to save him.
He noticed the bamboo cane in Yan Zhaoge’s hand as well as the dim Cloud Circulating Heavenly Light Sword that lay in a corner.
Thoughts rapidly moved through his head as he basically guessed what had happened.
Despite his shock and the urgency of the situation, Shen Lingzi still calmly abstained from using the Light Yin Sword Seal as he just relied on his own cultivation base, executing the Time Flowing Sword.
Even so, his terrifying strength which was comparable to that of a late Immortal Bridge Martial Saint caused the heavens and the earth to seethe.
“Yan Zhaoge, wrecking my generation’s important matter and killing many of this old man’s descendants, you have been arrogant for long enough!”
Hearing his words, Yan Zhaoge chuckled, “Some days ago, in coming to attack my Broad Creed Mountain’s headquarters, going to and fro however you liked, was it fun?”
Facing that terrifying sword-light that enveloped the heavens and covered the earth, Yan Zhaoge chuckled coldly, infinite, all-encompassing brightness suddenly appearing above his head.
A great golden seal slowly rose into the air, its violent, authoritative aura making it seem as though the actual sun had truly descended into the human realm.
Golden sunlight simultaneously surged in both Yan Zhaoge’s eyes, resembling two great suns.
The powerful Extreme Yang Seal erupted with unprecedented radiance, striking towards Shen Lingzi.
With Yan Zhaoge wielding the Extreme Yang Seal at the Seeing Divinity Martial Saint realm, it was much more powerful in his hands now than when he controlled it via the Northern Ocean Clone!
