This was an extremely rare thing for the dragon race that was usually composed and emphasised more on their authoritative image.
After glancing once at Yan Zhaoge and Yan Di, they did not pay much attention to them as their gazes quickly shifted away, falling on Fu Ting.
Fu Ting nodded towards them, “I will speak in more detail with seniors after sending my guests away.”
Yan Zhaoge and Yan Di left the palace alongside Fu Ting, with Yan Zhaoge looking back, “It would really be rare to see demons with such cultivation bases in the World beyond Worlds.”
Fu Ting said, “Following the Great Calamity, the dragon race deteriorated greatly. They are indeed very rare today.”
“Our lineage has some ties with a branch of the dragon race that survived the Great Calamity. This was something from the time of my Great Grand Master.”
Yan Zhaoge nodded, offering no reply.
Fu Ting said, “In a moment, I will be using the mechanism here to send the two of you back to the southeastern Yang Heaven Territory. We have really been impolite this time…”
Before she had finished speaking, the world that was formed of intermingling qis of white and black actually shook abruptly!
Now, the black and white qis which had originally been clearly separated instantly became muddled and chaotic, with yin and yang hard to differentiate.
Fu Ting was shocked, “Here already?!”
The expressions of Yan Zhaoge and Yan Di both changed slightly.
Having cultivated in the Minor No Hatred dao arena these past few days, they knew that this manor here had been personally created by the Brocade Emperor.
Even if its stability was inferior to that of Kunlun Mountain’s Ingenious Flying Peak’s Red Lotus Cliff, it was still far from comparable to most places.
Even though its owner, the Brocade Emperor, was not present, destabilising this place would be as difficult as ascending to the heavens.
Yet, the scenes before them clearly indicated that someone was attacking the Minor No Hatred dao arena from the outside!
What was even worse was that the other party was extremely powerful as the possibility of the area falling to his attacks did exist!
The spiritual qi flow of the dao arena had already been turned chaotic as its foundation was shaken.
Fu Ting did not panic despite her shock as she directly retrieved a jade crystal, flinging it into the air before tapping on it.
A glow appeared on the surface of the jade crystal, forming a spirit formation with a hole seemingly appearing amidst space at its centre.
The next moment, however, space immediately healed where it had broken apart while the spirit formation began distorting, shattering the next instant.
Fu Ting frowned, “These attacks are just too powerful. The mechanism is unable to activate.”
She looked at Yan Zhaoge and Yan Di, helplessly shaking her head, “I originally wanted to send the two of you back to the World beyond Worlds. From the looks of it now, however, that will not be happening.”
Yan Zhaoge and Yan Di exchanged looks, both finding things to be rather ridiculous.
From the looks of it, someone had actually truly come to find trouble with the Brocade Emperor. They had unwittingly been drawn into it as well.
“Since that is so, the two of you, please follow me,” Fu Ting said, leading them back into the palace.
While the spiritual qi flow of the dao arena was already rather messed up, as the Brocade Emperor’s residence, it was still not going to fall so easily at the end of the day.
As they walked, Yan Zhaoge smacked his lips, “With things already being the way they are, can Miss Fu tell us about this situation in greater detail? We father and son are still completely in the dark.”
Looking at the palace up ahead, Yan Di asked in a heavy tone, “Is it related to the dragons here?”
Fu Ting hesitated for a moment before she sighed, “You can say that it is related. Still, the one who has come is here specifically for our lineage.”
“Those three seniors of the dragon race hurried here to warn us. They did not think that opponent would come so quickly, arriving right after them.”
Fu Ting helplessly shook her head, “There are some things that have to be settled at this dao arena. We are unable to immediately leave. I originally wanted to send the two of you away at once, yet I was actually unable to do so in the end.”
Yan Zhaoge asked, “Who exactly is this person?”
The other party might not know that the Brocade Emperor was out, most likely thinking that he was at his residence as he was not capitalising on this chance to attack, instead having come specifically targeting him in the first palace.
The Brocade Emperor was one of the greatest experts of the World beyond Worlds. That someone actually dared to come looking for trouble with him truly exceeded Yan Zhaoge’s expectations.
So, it was not the Heaven Emperor. Who else could it be?
As he was guessing, Fu Ting said in a complex tone, “The one who has come isn’t human.”

HSSB899: Immortal Artifact coming for revenge
Fu Ting’s ‘The one who has come isn’t human’ took Yan Zhaoge aback.
“Some mighty demonic expert?” Yan Zhaoge raised his brows slightly.
This time, Fu Ting pondered for a moment before saying, “He also cannot really be considered as being of a demonic race.”
Looking at Yan Zhaoge, she elaborated, “Nor a major devil of the Nine Underworlds.”
Yan Zhaoge and Yan Di both looked at Fu Ting.
Fu Ting said, “Saying that he is of a demonic race would not be completely correct.”
“The one who has come is actually a weapon, just that this weapon is extremely unique.”
“An extremely powerful demonic soul is sealed within such that this weapon possesses its own complete sentience.”
Fu Ting explained, “It can be said that this is a weapon that is a unique, independent lifeform, being able to control itself. It can also be said that this is a great demon with a weapon as his fleshly body.”
Fu Ting paused for a moment before continuing, “He usually proclaims himself to be a weapon.”
The corners of Yan Zhaoge’s mouth twitched slightly, “Alright, I think I basically understand. Currently, it is another problem that I am concerned with.”
“Whilst clearly knowing that the Brocade Emperor may be at this dao arena, he still dared to directly come knocking…”
“This…this weapon, is it an Immortal Artifact?”
Fu Ting nodded frankly, “That’s right. It is indeed an enlightened Immortal Artifact.”
“With these special characteristics, it would actually be more accurate to directly classify him as an expert who opened the door to Immortality and entered the Immortal realm, although he himself would not think so.”
Hearing her words, Yan Zhaoge curled his lips, “I very much agree.”
Since things were already out in the open, Fu Ting no longer concealed things, “The other party has deep enmity with the dragon race. In the past, he slaughtered numerous dragons. As a result, the numbers of those of the dragon race that had already deteriorated following the Great Calamity dwindled even further.”
“The dragon race once requested aid from the World beyond Worlds. Afterwards, some of the Grand Clear direct lineages, my Great Grand Master included, helped the dragon race to design a formation in order to seal this weapon.”
“A few years ago, this Immortal Artifact broke out of its seal. After recuperating for a few years, it has come to seek its revenge.”
Fu Ting’s expression turned rather solemn, “The tribal lands of that branch of dragons was already attacked before this.”
“Now, it has come looking for us.”
“Along with time, some of those lineages from back then are already no more. As of now, only my Ingenious Flying Peak and Go
lden Court Mountain’s Uncle Cao remain.”
This Immortal Artifact’s temperament was wild, violent and lawless. Even though the Brocade Emperor was no weaker than him, he still feared nothing as he would want to first battle before deciding anything else, definitely having to first vent out his malevolent feelings as he would never patiently tolerate them.
Fu Ting said, “He has specifically come to the Minor No Hatred dao arena for father this time.”
“On the contrary, he still holds some reservations regarding going over to World beyond Worlds’ Kunlun Mountain.”
Hearing her words, Yan Zhaoge vaguely realised that something was abnormal as some things of his memories now surfaced within his mind.
Yan Zhaoge now frowned, asking, “The Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors are united in such cases. In this Immortal Artifact having come to stir up trouble at the Brocade Emperor’s residence, it should not just be the Brocade Emperor who ends up provoked as a result?”
Fu Ting sighed, “Most of them just happen to be away from the World beyond Worlds.”
Then, she was silent for a time as she looked at Yan Zhaoge and Yan Di though she finally still spoke in the end, “That aside, this Immortal Artifact is itself connected to the World beyond Worlds too.”
“His name, Mars Halberd.”
Hearing this name, the eyes of Yan Zhaoge and Yan Di simultaneously narrowed, “Mars…”
A title naturally leapt into their minds.
The Exalted Fire Luminary that represented the planet, Mars!
One of the former Kunlun Nine Luminaries that included the current Earthly Sovereign and Concealed Sovereign of the Three Sovereigns, the Exalted Fire Luminary!
Fu Ting said slowly, “In line with the name of the Nine Luminaries, each of the Kunlun Nine Luminaries forged a treasure that year. All of these were peak high-grade Sacred Artifacts with but a single exception, that being this Mars Halberd.”
“It is said that because the demonic soul that was sealed within was too unique and too powerful, it was an Immortal Artifact which was forged in the end. Also, it was one which possessed thoughts of its own, being able to move freely by its own will.”
“According to my father, after the Exalted Fire Luminary disappeared without a trace that year, this Immortal Artifact became effectively ownerless as he hence started acting on his own.”
Fu Ting forced a smile, “In the end, he began a major rampage, slaughtering members of the dragon race. Finally, he was sealed, whereas so many years have already passed since then.”
“So many years have passed, but my flames of rage have never been extinguished!”
Now, a voice suddenly reverberated throughout the Minor No Hatred dao arena!
Fu Ting’s expression changed as did that of the other Ingenious Flying Peak disciples and those three experts of the dragon race inside the palace.
The Minor No Hatred dao arena began shaking non-stop.
“The descendants of Daoist Xuanzhong have produced an Emperor, going beyond their ancestors,” That voice reverberated between the heavens and the earth, “Since you are an Emperor, come out and do battle with me!”
Fu Ting clenched her teeth, saying in a heavy tone, “My father is out for some matters and isn’t here right now. If you really have such intentions, why don’t you come another day? My father definitely would not avoid battle.”
The other party paused slightly as Yan Zhaoge and the others instantly felt the spiritual qi flow of the Minor No Hatred dao arena becoming even more messy and chaotic.
The other party seemed to be searching for something.
A short moment later, the pressure lessened as that voice spoke, “So he really isn’t here…”
“Since that is so, I will not make things difficult for you of the younger generation. However…”
“Those three little dragons, come out and die!”
Hearing his words, those three experts of the dragon race all had extremely ugly expressions on their faces as they were furious to the extreme.
Fu Ting inhaled deeply, “The three of them have come to my Ingenious Flying Peak’s Minor No Hatred dao arena. There is naturally no reason for our lineage to hand them over to you.”
“Descendant of Daoist Xuanzhong, I would not quibble with you lot of the junior generation,” The other party said coldly, “For dragons, though, if I see one, I will kill one. There will be no exceptions.”
“Either I die or the dragons will be exterminated.”
A powerful force unceasingly shook the heavens and the earth as the air of the Minor No Hatred dao arena suddenly turned blazing hot.
The intermingling qis of yin and yang became turbid before actually starting to catch ablaze.
Feeling that wild, violent concept that was frenzied and unbridled like blazing fire, Yan Zhaoge’s expression turned extremely strange.
Even Yan Di outwardly seemed taken aback.
Yan Zhaoge smiled, “It might not be the best time to ask this now, Miss Fu, but I wonder how those seniors of the Grand Clear lineage helped the dragon race to seal this Immortal Artifact in the past?”
Gazing at the changes in the Minor No Hatred dao arena, Fu Ting did not keep it from him as she answered, “This Mars Halberd is swelteringly hot like fire, tough and blazingly hot to the extreme. Thus, Great Grand Master and the others used an ancient, cold abyss, setting up a formation using the power of the stars of the myriad heavens.”
“Numerous experts of the dragon race died within the formation, sacrificing themselves for their fellow brethren as they used the power of the ritual to stimulate the grand formation, finally managing to suppress that Mars Halberd who had already received damage beforehand.”
“From the looks of it now, in these years that he was suppressed, this Mars Halberd has already recovered from the wounds that he sustained beforehand.”
Yan Zhaoge and Yan Di exchanged glances, both seeing the shock within the other’s eyes.
The numerous stars converge, Dragons enter the sea, The ancient, cold abyss, Reverse scale shocks moon…
This was the origin of that dragon mausoleum which Yan Zhaoge had unearthed that year!
In the dragon mausoleum back then, Yan Zhaoge had sensed that the place seemed to have originally been sealing a certain existence.
That sealed being had already escaped back then. He had even felt curious over what it was.
Now, he realised that it was actually an Immortal Artifact which had thoughts of its own and was able to move freely about.
One of the weapons of the Kunlun Nine Luminaries of the past like the Extreme Yang Seal, Extreme Yin Crown and Rahu Sabre, the Mars Halberd!
History's Strongest Senior Brother Chapter 900: Could it have been intentional
HSSB900: Could it have been intentional
“Extreme…Yang…Seal? Long time no see. I never thought that we would meet again under such circumstances…”
Yan Zhaoge still remembered the time when the seal had completely fallen apart in the dragon mausoleum, the true form of the ancient, cold abyss being revealed as the mausoleum collapsed.
Back then, a remnant strand of will had still remained in the mausoleum which originated from that sealed existence.
When its aura had appeared, such a sentence had once flashed through Yan Zhaoge’s mind.
Yan Zhaoge had felt quizzical back then.
The other party recognised the Extreme Yang Seal.
This matter had ended without any continuation then as he had not thought any further on it.
Now, however, everything made sense.
Looking again at those three experts of the dragon race now, Yan Zhaoge’s gaze inevitably turned rather strange.
He had swept away a great majority of the contents of the dragon tomb back then…
Those three dragon experts were currently all focused on Mars Halberd outside with furious, resolute looks on their faces.
“Let us go out,” The three dragon experts said in a heavy
tone.
Fu Ting shook her head and had just been about to speak when a voice resounded again from outside, “There will be no coming out for you…”
A violent force rampaged as the entire Minor No Hatred dao arena became unbearably hot beyond compare.
Where yin and yang had originally coexisted, the black and white qis were currently all blurry as they turned crimson, catching ablaze all at once.
“…So, I’ll be going in,” Accompanied by that tyrannical voice, the sky of the Minor No Hatred dao arena split apart, a dazzling red light penetrating through which illuminated the top of the palace.
Within the red light, blazing fire appeared, the flames gradually condensing into a figure between the heavens and the earth.
It was a figure whose features could not clearly be seen, nine feet tall and with numerous flame dragons encircling his body.
He trod upon two even more massive crimson dragons of flame.
His entire person resembled a divinity that was formed of flame.
A fierce, tyrannical aura swept through the entire Minor No Hatred dao arena, rapidly transforming the region into a sea of flames.
Fu Ting and the other Ingenious Flying Peak disciples all appeared solemn to the extreme.
They had already known at the start that the other party was no different from an Emperor-level expert. It would be a vicious battle even if the Brocade Emperor himself was here.
However, they still felt utterly shocked at how the other party had broken through into the Minor No Hatred dao arena so quickly.
While the Brocade Emperor was not present, this place had been personally constructed by him at the end of the day.
Now, its defences had been broken through so quickly. This unique opponent here was even more fearsome than everyone had thought.
After having appeared, the divinity of flame that had no features first gazed over in Yan Zhaoge’s direction.
Yan Zhaoge instantly felt as though everything in the surrounding space seemed about to explode, ending up incinerated.
It was not just a simple, tangible explosion. Instead, even the most minute particles that existed were affected as they too seemed about to explode before being incinerated into nothingness.
