An unquantifiable number of particles that far surpassed the billions seemed like they were about to simultaneously explode now.
With that, everything that existed would also be destroyed as it would not be easy to stand against.
“The Extreme Yang Seal…it has indeed been a long time,” A voice resounded from that tall frame condensed of flame, “Young man, you are Gao Han’s descendant?”
Yan Zhaoge knit his brows slightly.
He could clearly feel his Extreme Yang Seal shaking intensely at this moment.
Its spirituality which far surpassed that of ordinary high-grade Sacred Artifacts in the first place was acute as it had never been before now.
It was just that this was not like the joy of meeting an old friend.
Instead, it was more like fear and wariness!
At this moment, Yan Zhaoge just felt the urge to roll his eyes.
While the Kunlun Nine Luminaries had been acclaimed together in the past, who could know how things had been like amongst they themselves?
Even if they had all been comrades, this did not entail for sure that they shared a close relationship. On the contrary, numerous tensions might have existed between them.
From the reaction shown when the Extreme Yang Seal and Extreme Yin Crown had met each other as well as that projection which the Exalted Lunar Luminary had left behind in the Eight Extremities World back then, it could be seen that the relationship between she and the Exalted Solar Luminary must have been pretty good.
However, seeing the Extreme Yang Seal’s reaction on facing Mars Halberd now, it seemed probable that their former owners might not have shared a harmonious relationship.
As a result, Yan Zhaoge had to be cautious here as he could not just casually feign his relationships.
It would naturally be best if Mars Halberd was willing to give the Exalted Solar Luminary, Gao Han, a bit of face here.
From the looks of it now, however, claiming to be affiliated to the Exalted Solar Luminary might just further antagonise Mars Halberd instead.
The Ingenious Flying Peak disciples who were aware that Yan Zhaoge bore the Extreme Yang Seal aside, those three experts of the dragon race were all looking on in shock at Yan Zhaoge now.
Yan Zhaoge took in a deep breath before he said calmly, “I am not a descendant of the Exalted Solar Luminary, only having inadvertently obtained the Extreme Yang Seal, cultivating in the Extreme Yang Scripture as well. Even so, my understanding of the Exalted Solar Luminary is limited. I also know not where this senior is now.”
That divinity of flame glanced calmly at Yan Zhaoge before saying casually, “I would not make things difficult for a junior even if you were Gao Han’s descendant. I would just need you to accompany me someplace for some matters.”
“I believe what you say. Still, you should have more considerations on this.”
“Gao Han’s thoughts are strange and indiscernible. Things are seldom out of his grasp.”
“While some things may seem incidental, they could have been intentional.”
Now, his gaze again fell on those three experts of the dragon race.
A moment later, three clumps of blazing fire arose out of nowhere, enveloping the three dragon experts!
While Yan Zhaoge, Yan Di and those of Ingenious Flying Peak were nearby, they were not affected by it at all as the terrifying, blazing fire blazed into existence from the three dragon experts themselves.
While the fire was limited to a fixed area, this fixed area was enveloped completely by the flames of purgatory!
The three dragons simultaneously cried out in pain, struggling as they rid themselves of their human bodies and revealed their original forms, transforming into three true dragons that were connected to the heavens!
The three dragons were even more gigantic than the dead dragons within the mausoleum back then as they possessed a shocking aura.
The three true dragons were equivalent to three Immortal Bridge Martial Saints of the human race as the eruption of their qi and blood shocked the heavens and earth, seizing the stars and grasping the moon.
Yet, wreathed in blazing fire, they were unable to extinguish these flames however they struggled.
A true dragon opened its great maws with an immeasurable amount of water directly gushing out from within.
The water was sufficient to instantly transform into an ocean as it would virtually be able to fill a sizeable portion of the Royal Reed Sea.
However, even this oceanic amount of water which contained the true essence and qi of dragons was completely vaporized at once as it came into contact with the flames on his body!
Yan Zhaoge could not feel happy regarding his correct judgment, “If this guy were to make a move within the Royal Reed Sea, any random ember would already be enough to dry up all the seawater.”
There had also been an Emperor of heavenly fire in pre-Great Calamity times, this being the Flame Devil Emperor.
While Yan Zhaoge had never personally witnessed the Flame Devil Emperor in action before, going by the reports of bystanders, even that would not have been any more powerful than this.
Fu Ting was greatly panicked over the situation at hand.
After a moment’s hesitation, she said to Yan Zhaoge and Yan Di in a heavy tone, “I am truly sorry for having drawn you into this. Be careful!”
Before they could reply, Fu Ting gazed at that blazing figure in the sky up above, shouting, “Since the three dragon seniors have come to our Minor No Hatred dao arena, they are guests of our Ingenious Flying Peak. Forgive this junior for having to act!”
With that, she directly struck out with a palm towards her own forehead, as if going to commit suicide.
Instead, a Taiji diagram simultaneously appeared on her palm and forehead as they resonated.

HSSB901: One halberd breaking the world
As Taiji diagrams appeared on Fu Ting’s palm and forehead, space and time abruptly changed in the heavens and earth of the Minor No Hatred dao arena.
Within this world that was already gradually being devoured by a sea of flames, spacetime suddenly distorted.
The power of the two extremities being reversed suffused space with the palace beneath everyone’s feet as its centre.
However, Fu Ting had only just acted when a clump of flames suddenly appeared between her palm and forehead.
These flames transformed into a sigil which instantly suppressed the Taiji diagrams on Fu Ting’s palm and forehead.
The voice of that divinity of flame resounded amidst the air, “I would simply ignore you juniors, and yet you try to stir things up yourself.”
“You should know that I would not mind even if I killed you.”
That sigil of flame immediately began devouring the Taiji diagrams on Fu Ting.
Embers seemed about to stick on to Fu Ting’s face and hand as well.
The Phoenix Woven Plume and other treasures on her showed no signs of moving in the slightest.
A silvery-white veil that flickered with the crimson light of fire suddenly arose and circulated as it kept the endless blazing fire at bay.
However, facing that sigil of flame, it instantly collapsed as well as it was hard pressed to stand against it.
Instead, radiance suddenly lit up from the central Taiji diagram on Fu Ting’s forehead which had originally been suppressed.
Beneath Fu Ting’s feet, radiance lit up about this palace at the centre of the Minor No Hatred dao arena.
The power of two extremities circulating in reverse surged once more, fiercer and more majestic than it had been before!
The divinity of flames in the air paused slightly, “Suppressed by my attack, you instead came to stimulate a second, hidden layer of restrictions? It is no wonder that you have surpassed Daoist Xuanzhong, outshining your ancestors.”
The entire Minor No Hatred dao arena actually seemed about to collapse at this mo
ment.
It was not because of the power of Mars Halberd. Instead, it originated from this dao arena itself.
The entire heavens and earth were collapsing inwards towards this central region!
This majestic power was currently all bolstered on Fu Ting.
As a result, Fu Ting was ultimately unharmed by that sigil of flame.
Everything just happened in this one instant.
There was only this instant that Fu Ting could make use of.
She clapped down with a palm, the palace now being reduced to glowing dust of black and white all at once.
Yin and yang circulated, forming a Taiji diagram which swept along Fu Ting, the Ingenious Flying Peak disciples, Yan Zhaoge, Yan Di and those three experts of the dragon race that were being incinerated by blazing fire.
They were all swept along towards that collapsing region in the centre, seeming about to disappear.
The power formed of the collapse of the heavens and earth of the entire Minor No Hatred dao arena caused the flames on the bodies of those three dragon experts to finally be extinguished as well.
This world was formed by the Brocade Emperor at the end of the day. As Fu Ting acted promptly and decisively, those three dragons were pulled back from the very brink of death.
Now, however, that divinity of flame amidst the air that cared not about the collapse of the heavens and earth suddenly moved.
“A very outstanding young lady, possessing your father’s flair.”
The vast, mighty roar of a dragon seemed to resound from an endless distance away.
The next moment, that massive nine-foot-long frame exploded, transforming into all-encompassing flowing fire.
A twin-pronged halberd appeared within the sea of flames, resembling the heavenly halberd of Yan Zhaoge’s memories.
It was just that this halberd was completely crimson and had dragon patterns engraved on it.
“You possess courage and abilities. I will not kill you. Still, I will have to give you some punishment.”
The crimson heavenly halberd cleaved through the air.
A fiery light flickered as the black and white Taiji diagram at the centre of the collapsing heavens and earth mightily broke apart!
Swept along by the Taiji diagram, Yan Zhaoge, Yan Di, Fu Ting and the others were already about to be transported away through the spatial passageway that had been formed with the destruction of the Minor No Hatred dao arena.
However, as the light of fire flickered, the spatial passageway instantly broke into several segments!
Everyone worked hard to stabilise their forms but were separated against their own wills and swept along in twos and threes into different spaces.
The final thing that Yan Zhaoge and the others saw was that as that crimson fiery light flashed past, those three dragon experts all perished!
The massive dragon bodies were all cleaved apart at their midsections!
Blazing fire arose from these wounds, instantly completely incinerating and vaporising the dragon carcasses that were already broken into many segments.
They dissipated into the wind, leaving behind no indication that they had ever existed.
Amidst shattered space in the distance, the fiery light again condensed to form that divinity of flame that trod upon two dragons.
The giant of flame stood amidst the air, not pursuing or leaving as he simply stood unmoving where he was.
It was like he was specifically awaiting the Brocade Emperor’s return.
Amidst the chaotic space, Yan Zhaoge gazed over in another direction as he saw his father Yan Di currently trapped in another chaotic spatial flow.
Father and son exchanged glances, not knowing whether they should be laughing or crying at this.
They had been totally drawn into an unrelated conflict here, dragged into it by Ingenious Flying Peak and the experts of the dragon race. Before having come, never would they have thought that such a thing would actually occur.
Both of them sent each other looks that said that there was no need for the other to worry. Father and son could now only stabilise their forms amidst the shattered space, going along with the flow and drifting off in different directions.
With their current cultivation bases, they were not in any peril.
The only thing was that it would require some effort for them to return to the World beyond Worlds.
Yan Zhaoge sighed, “Plans cannot keep up with variations. I was still thinking earlier that it would be best if no strong reinforcements came as the Heaven Emperor was tied down by the Brocade Emperor. And in the end, Mars Halberd immediately came over looking for trouble.”
“Really, only the bad things always come true…”
Yan Zhaoge shook his head slightly, stabilising his form.
As he cultivated in the Immortal Trapping Sword, he possessed a deep understanding of the daos of space and time as him being trapped amidst the chaotic flows of space now was not actually serious.
It was just that coincidentally, Fu Ting just happened to be drifting in the exact same torrent of time and space as him.
With that, it was just not convenient for him to blatantly demonstrate the Immortal Trapping Sword.
Fu Ting expressed her apologies to Yan Zhaoge, “I tried to overreach my limits, wanting to make use of the restrictions that my father left behind in the dao arena to help the three dragon seniors. Still, this ultimately ended up dragging you and your father into things. I must express my apologies here, Young Master Yan.”
Yan Zhaoge smiled, “It’s okay. Miss Fu is polite.”
This Mars Halberd had his own temperament as he was no different from an Emperor-level expert.
His temperament was a tough but magnanimous one.
If Fu Ting had not tried to intervene earlier, it was likely that nothing at all would have happened to Yan Zhaoge and Yan Di.
After killing those three dragon experts, Mars Halberd would most likely have allowed Yan Zhaoge and Yan Di to leave. Fu Ting and the rest might have been held there to draw the Brocade Emperor over, but they might also have been set free. They would have been in no danger of dying, at least.
Fu Ting’s actions earlier had caused the other party to completely destroy the Minor No Hatred dao arena, leading to all of them being separated amidst the chaotic flows of space.
Still, Yan Zhaoge did not blame Fu Ting for this.
From another perspective, if it had been the Heaven Emperor who had come this time, having come specifically to find trouble with Yan Zhaoge and Yan Di, Fu Ting would most likely also have tried her best to help the two of them, because they too were guests of Ingenious Flying Peak.
Of course, that Yan Zhaoge could be so magnanimous now was also based somewhat on the fact that the current state of affairs was not that terrible. This was still at an acceptable level for him.
Instead, it was something that Mars Halberd had said earlier that Yan Zhaoge minded more, “Incidental for me, but intentional for others…huh?”

While he was rather concerned regarding the matter of the Exalted Solar Luminary Gao Han, since there was too little that he presently knew about him, Yan Zhaoge did not think too much on this.
What was of the foremost importance right now was how to get back to the World beyond Worlds as soon as possible.
Yan Zhaoge asked Fu Ting about this. She forced out a strained laugh.
She pointed at her forehead, “I have no good methods for the time being. We can only slowly find our way back.”
Yan Zhaoge understood what she meant. When stimulating the restrictions of the Minor No Hatred dao arena earlier, Fu Ting had already depleted some preparations of hers.
Otherwise, with the Brocade Emperor’s care towards her, he would definitely leave behind some methods on her such that she would be able to quickly return to Kunlun Mountain in the World beyond World
s when facing a scenario of being trapped amidst chaotic flows of space.
Now, however, these methods could no longer be used.
If the spatial passageway had not been cleaved apart earlier, they could have returned to the World beyond Worlds together.
Sadly, Mars Halberd was an Immortal Artifact at the end of the day and one who could unleash his own power at that.
Thinking of Mars Halberd, Yan Zhaoge and Fu Ting exchanged glances, bitter smiles appearing on their faces.
From what they had seen earlier, the other party seemed to have no intention of leaving after having destroyed the Minor No Hatred dao arena.
He actually seemed to be waiting there just for the Brocade Emperor’s return.
Amidst his arrogance, his tyrannical nature could be seen.
Yan Zhaoge shook his head, identifying the space towards which they were heading, “Forget it. I’ll not think about this first. Making sure of where we are right now is what’s really important.”
Fu Ting similarly raised her spirits and observed their surroundings.
Even though the Minor No Hatred dao arena had been sacrificed in the process, she had ultimately been unable to save those three dragon experts as she had only been able to helplessly watch them getting slain before her.
As a Heaven’s favoured daughter, this was a rare setback for Fu Ting for whom everything usually went just as she wanted.
In recent years, the only thing that had left Fu Ting feeling so stifled was the vanishing of the Profound Sky Purple Gold Furnace and the disappearance of those seniors, lost to that black hole.
Fu Ting was both amused and exasperated by the fact that Yan Zhaoge had actually been involved in both these rare setbacks of hers.
Still, she possessed a firm will as she quickly adjusted her state of mind.
The two drifted for an unknown duration amidst space. The outline of a world vaguely appeared amidst space before them.
Yan Zhaoge and Fu Ting exchanged glances before plunging together within, entering that world.
As soon as they entered, the boundaries of the heavens and earth distorted and shook together, vaguely seeming to want to reject them outside of it.
