History's Strongest Senior Brother c1-1474

by 八月飞鹰, Ba Yue Fei Ying, August Eagle

  As the white light appeared, a series of images were finally shown.

  A familiar face appeared before Yan Zhaoge and Meng Wan.

  Garbed in white and wielding a black sabre, her cascading hair simply tied up behind her back and her gaze focused, it was none other than Feng Yunsheng!

  Feng Yunsheng was seated on the ground in the meditative position as the Extreme Yin Crown was emitting pure, clear radiance above her head, resembling the bright moon in the sky.

  The Cold Sun Divine Sabre was placed horizontally across her knee, wisps of black qi extending from within which transformed into runes that wounded around her body like chains.

  In front of Feng Yunsheng, there was a huge black sun hovering in mid-air.

  Meanwhile, the tiny ember of flame was completely suppressed by the dim darkness, rendered totally unable to move.

  The huge black sun emitted black sunlight which shone on and illuminated the Cold Sun Divine Sabre.

  Feng Yunsheng had a calm look on her face and a resolute gaze as she looked at the black sun.

  A silhouette surfaced within the black sun. This was none other than the Exalted Rahu Luminary, Jian Shunhua.

  Her expression was cold and stern as always as she calmly met Feng Yunsheng’s gaze with a piercing gaze.

  “I am not the reborn sabre spirit, and you also do not exist within the sabre. Why is this sabre so close to me?” Feng Yunsheng spoke relatively calmly, sounding neither panicked nor perturbed.

  Jian Shunhua who was rumoured to be a person of few words spoke liberally in front of Feng Yunsheng, “It is true that you are not the reborn sabre spirit. Still, a wisp of your soul is sealed within the remnant shell of the Rahu Sabre. This sabre should be called the rebirth of that split soul portion of yours. While it is not your clone, its mind is connected to yours as you can wield it like an arm.”

  The pure moonlight suppressed the jet-black chains encircling Feng Yunsheng to some extent.

  Still, resisting them mostly still depended on Feng Yunsheng’s own will.

  She calmly asked, “Exalted Rahu Luminary, is it? While I admire senior’s flair from the past, this junior does not wish to become a shell through which someone else comes back from the dead.”

  “A very outstanding young girl,” Not only was Jian Shunhua not vexed, an amused hint of approval even vaguely surfaced from her cold features, though it was gone in a flash.

  The huge sun proceeded forward, seeking to gradually devour Feng Yunsheng’s body.

  Feng Yunsheng did not resist as she sat unmoving where she was, simply guarding and stabilising her mind.

  Seeing this, the Encompassing Emperor nodded slightly, “While the Exalted Rahu Luminary has been reborn, she is exceptionally weak due to having to ensure that she does not fall to the dark side.”

  “This is not a contest between a True Immortal and a Seeing Divinity Martial Saint, a clash of martial abilities. Instead, it is an inner battle of will.”

  Yan Zhaoge said nothing.

  Feng Yunsheng had a resilient personality and firm will that was rare amongst all those he had seen before.

  It was a strength that surpassed her age and the boundaries of her cultivation base.

  He did not worry about how Feng Yunsheng might fare against others.

  Still, her opponent this time was no normal person, being someone who had left behind a glorious reputation for themselves in the grand annals of history.

  This was someone who had planned for not just reviving after her death, but also to wrest away a devil’s foundation that was even sturdier than her own.

  Even her very death itself might have been a segment of her plan.

  Also, how many could be certain that under the precondition of not becoming a devil, they would still succeed in the rebirth they sought following their deaths?

  Even so, Jian Shunhua had dared to make such a gamble!

  She might not have reached a state where she had been left with no choice at all but to make that gamble. What sustained her was not just a gambler’s hope as it was instead an extremely firm will.

  It was rumoured that her expression had never even changed as she had once suffered the Soul Nail Stab, one of the Seven Great Tortures like the Cold Marrow Needles!

  What were Feng Yunsheng’s chances as she faced such an opponent this time?

  “In order to ensure that she does not fall to the dark side, the Exalted Rahu Luminary had to borrow a body in her rebirth mechanism,” The Brocade Emperor appeared rather interested, “Still, from the looks of it now, it did not go as smoothly as she planned.”

  As the huge black sun enveloped Feng Yunsheng completely, a black solar eclipse symbol gradually appeared on her forehead.

  Devilish qi of black fire vaguely circulated within her pupils as well. Still, her gaze remained clear.

  Feng Yunsheng suddenly roared, standing up as she chopped out with the Cold Sun Divine Sabre.

  The Extreme Yin Crown that she wore shook, the pure moonlight transforming into a sabre-light which broke the huge black sun!

  While the huge black sun was no more, the black solar eclipse symbol on Feng Yunsheng’s forehead still remained as a dim yet brilliant glow leapt about her pupils too.

  The white sabre-light left behind traces amidst space, resembling a passageway connecting towards Yan Zhaoge.

  Yan Zhaoge’s eyes met those of his lover across from him, even though he knew that she was unable to see him.

  Still, Feng Yunsheng’s gaze seemingly traversed time at this moment, arriving in the present.

  “I do not know who will be able to see this,” Feng Yunsheng said, “I am Feng Yunsheng, a disciple of Broad Creed Mountain from the World beyond Worlds’ southeastern Yang Heaven Territory’s Royal Reed Sea.”

  “As you can see, due to earlier, I am currently unable to fully control my body. At present, only half of the Exalted Rahu Luminary’s mechanism has been completed. There is still another half which concerns a great Devil. I do not know which one specifically it is, but it is definitely not simple.”

  “Next, because of her, I will be heading deeper into the Nine Underworlds. Because I cannot fully control myself, I will be unable to leave traces behind to aid in pursuit as something left behind by my right hand could be wiped off by my own left hand the very next moment. Because of that, there is no need to look for me.”

  “I will leave as soon as possible. Otherwise, even this message may be eradicated by myself.”

  She slowly said, “If you are willing to help, Feng Yunsheng is deeply grateful. Please relay this message to my sect, my Master Fu Lingyun and my husband Yan Zhaoge.”

  “In these decades that I have lived, I have often faced failure, seldom seeing success as I have constantly caused new trouble for those related to me.”

  Feng Yunsheng said solemnly, “Still, I will not lose this time.”

  “Not because of gain and loss, not because of strength or weakness, but only because I will definitely come back to see you all!” She suddenly smiled brightly, “Zhaoge, I will definitely return. We haven’t even had our first night together yet.”

  The Encompassing Emperor, the Brocade Emperor and Meng Wan all turned to look at Yan Zhaoge.

  Yan Zhaoge’s gaze was distant as he looked at that illusory scene, not saying a word.

  There, Feng Yunsheng cupped her fist towards space before valiantly turning and crossing the multiple layers of flames, vanishing without a trace within the devilish palace of flames.

  As the white light faded, the images gradually disappeared too.

  The reversed time regained its normalcy.

  Gazing at the empty palace, Yan Zhaoge was silent for a long time.

  “Little Friend Yan, as this matter concerns the Exalted Rahu Luminary’s rebirth, this old man and the others of the World beyond Worlds must necessarily be concerned with it
.”

  “This must be reported to the Three Sovereigns, at the very least.”

  After a long time, the Encompassing Emperor coughed, saying slowly, “This also involves a peak devil which has caught the eye of the arrogant Exalted Rahu Luminary. It would definitely be remarkable.”

  “Although it will be difficult to pursue them like Little Friend Feng said, if there is a chance, we will definitely attempt to venture deeper into the Nine Underworlds to locate them. Hopefully, Little Friend Feng can be found as soon as possible.”

  Yan Zhaoge’s gaze flickered as he turned to look at the Encompassing Emperor.

  The elder who had the looks of a child and the white hair of an old man looked at him calmly without any ripples in his gaze whatsoever.

  “If you Majesties get involved in this matter, the chances of success will naturally increase greatly,” Yan Zhaoge said, “This Yan naturally wishes to find back my wife as soon as possible. Sorry for the expression, but this Yan has also been looking forward to our first night together.”

  The Encompassing Emperor’s gaze flickered slightly, but he spoke no further.

  While he rather admired this youth before him, as this matter that concerned the Exalted Rahu Luminary involved too many things, he had no choice but to approach it very seriously indeed.

  The worst case scenario would be if Feng Yunsheng lost to Jian Shunhua, but Jian Shunhua lost too.

  The one to come out on top of all this would be a third party, the devil that Jian Shunhua had been scheming against!

  Whether it was Jian Shunhua or Feng Yunsheng who fell to the dark side, both would be extremely terrible scenarios.

  The Encompassing Emperor naturally had to consider these possibilities.

  Still, he similarly had to consider Yan Zhaoge and Broad Creed Mountain.

  The youth before him had too many connections. Besides Kunlun Mountain’s Northern High Peak’s Jade Capital Crag’s Sword Sovereign, he was actually somewhat related to the Roving Jade Heavens as well.

  Even with the Encompassing Emperor’s vast life experiences, he had to calm down and navigate this matter with the utmost vigilance now.

  “Wan’er, it looks like we will have to stop here,” The Brocade Emperor just looked rather regretfully at Meng Wan, “I hope that your friend will be blessed by the heavens and turn calamity into fortune.”

  Looking at the now empty palace, Meng Wan was feeling rather despondent too.

  Hearing the Brocade Emperor’s words, she nodded, saying, “No need to worry, father. Your daughter understands. Now, I too am just hoping for senior apprentice-sister Feng’s safe return.”

  Yan Zhaoge smiled, “Being able to see you when she returns will doubtlessly be a pleasant surprise. She will definitely be very happy.”

  Now, he cupped his hands towards the Brocade Emperor and the Encompassing Emperor, “Please hold on for a moment.”

  Next, Yan Zhaoge stepped forward, arriving before the dim darkness which was suppressing the black ember and extending a hand.

  As he circulated the Faceless Devilish Scripture, Yan Zhaoge’s body turned completely illusory.

  A green Buddha idol appeared above his head that had four sides and twelve arms.

  Each of the four faces was totally blank with no features visible whatsoever.

  The gazes of the Encompassing Emperor and Brocade Emperor flickered, “What an outstanding youngster. Extraordinary talent indeed.”

  While they were not proficient in the Faceless Devilish Scripture, they naturally knew of the Faceless Heavenly Devil of the legends, bearing the true intent of no identity and no face as it actually held no fixed external form.

  If a manifestation of this technique had an external form, a martial practitioner should be far from completion in their cultivation.

  Otherwise, it would be that they had intentionally done so, integrating other martial concepts within.

  This was the case with Yan Zhaoge right now. While he was projecting the profundities of the Faceless Devilish Scripture, he had no intention of falling to the dark side in becoming a devil.

  The green Buddha idol’s twelve arms extended forward in unison, converging towards the centre as they collectively captured and suppressed the dim darkness along with the ember.

  Next, the Buddha idol slowly descended into the top of Yan Zhaoge’s head.

  “You must be careful, Little Friend Yan. That ember is the source of a devilish Emperor’s revival at the end of the day,” The Encompassing Emperor warned Yan Zhaoge though he did not stop him.

  Yan Zhaoge smiled, “Thank you for worrying, Encompassing Emperor. Still, it is fine.”

  He closed his eyes as the acupoints of his entire body suddenly pulsed.

  The eyes of the Encompassing Emperor and Brocade Emperor both emitted a strange glow as they saw this, “Oh?”

  As Yan Zhaoge sat in the centre of the back hall of the devilish palace of black flame, his entire body suddenly glowed brilliantly.

  Streams of bright radiance that resembled starlight were emitted from him in all directions, even penetrating through the flame-formed walls of the palace.

  At this moment, radiance lit up within the gloomily lit devilish domain of the Nine Underworlds, resembling bright stars in the night sky amidst the centre of the blazing flames and charred soil.

  Yan Zhaoge’s various acupoints were emitting a splendid radiance. Now, one of them suddenly dimmed and was extinguished.

  Closely following that, there was a second, and then a third.

  While the radiance of some of his acupoints was extinguished, the radiance of the remaining ones that were still glowing got increasingly bright and dazzling as they underwent a qualitative change.

  As the radiance flickered, it was as though numerous stars were circulating within the true universe.

  Yan Zhaoge’s aura correspondingly skyrocketed in its entirety!

  “He has actually ascended to the eighth level of the Martial Saint realm, the mid Immortal Bridge stage just like that,” The Encompassing Emperor sighed lightly, “From what this old man heard, it should not have been long ago that he attained the Immortal Bridge stage. It was before his sect’s opening ceremony, right?”

  Besides admiration, there was also a regretful look in the Encompassing Emperor’s gaze that was on Yan Zhaoge now.

  This was naturally because Yan Zhaoge had heard the name of the Immeasurable Heavenly Lord back at Star Reflecting Lake.

  The Encompassing Emperor shook his head as he looked at the Brocade Emperor, a rare look of dissatisfaction visible within his eyes.

  While Yan Zhaoge’s attitude over Feng Yunsheng’s matter gave him a bit of a headache, this did not stop him from admiring Yan Zhaoge’s talent.

  He felt that it was a real pity indeed, how the Brocade Emperor had randomly destroyed a supreme genius of the World beyond Worlds just like that.

  The Brocade Emperor smiled, seemingly having forgotten completely about the events back at Star Reflecting Lake as he only said rather admiringly, “Your determination is laudable indeed.”

  “Indeed…” The Encompassing Emperor shook his head, looking at Yan Zhaoge once more.

  While it was not outwardly exhibited, Yan Zhaoge’s firm, resolute aura was evident to all.

  The dissatisfaction and despondence within his heart did not translate to worry, vexation, uselessness and defeat as it instead erupted like a volcano, completely transforming into an uncompromising resolve with a sharp, piercing intent to unceasingly strive for his ultimate goal.

  Yan Zhaoge’s accumulated foundation was incomparably substantial as there was no difficulty at all besides where major bottlenecks existed.

  Still, he had never been hasty so as to preserve the stability of this rare path that he followed, stably and assuredly treading every single step.

  Still, he no longer suppressed himself at this moment, ignoring any potential repercussions from refining the devilish fire as he simply advanced right there and then!


  Seeing the calm expression on the face of this youth, the Encompassing Emperor really felt a headache coming on.

  “I admire him even more now,” The Brocade Emperor smiled leisurely.

  The Encompassing Emperor glanced at him, “He is different from you.”

  The Brocade Emperor smiled, “There is nothing wrong with this being different. Little Red Lotus has a great impression of him as I had once considered looking for him as a son-in-law. From the events that have played out, my appraisal was right indeed. This fella is not simply overflowing with talent.”

  While the Brocade Emperor’s tone was relaxed, it caused the Encompassing Emperor to glance at him again.

  Now, Yan Zhaoge slowly concluded his cultivation session, the starlight emitted from his acupoints gradually being retracted in returning to his body.

  As he opened his eyes and saw the Encompassing Emperor and Brocade Emperor, he smiled, “This Yan has been impetuous. Please mind not how laughable it is.”

  The Brocade Emperor and Encompassing Emperor both said, “It is okay.”

  Meng Wan smiled, “Congratulations on further advancing your cultivation base, Senior Brother Yan.”

  “Thank you, Junior Sister Meng,” Yan Zhaoge stood up and said as he looked at the devilish palace of flame around them, “This place no longer holds anything of value now.”

  They left the palace composed of flame, the Encompassing Emperor saying after a time, “Influenced by the Exalted Rahu Luminary, Little Friend Feng has headed deeper into the Nine Underworlds and will be hard pressed to leave clues for us. Not only would it be difficult to go after her, it will also be much riskier if we continue moving forward.”

  The Nine Underworlds possessed numerous great devils at the end of the day.

  The Encompassing Emperor looked at Yan Zhaoge and Meng Wan, “This old man believes that we should return to the World beyond Worlds and report this matter to the Three Sovereigns, letting them make a decision on how best to deal with this.”

  “At that time, if we are to venture into the depths of the Nine Underworlds, the leadership of the Three Sovereigns would aid us greatly.”
