There was no change in the Brocade Emperor’s expression as he seemed totally unmoved. He directly waved the Four Grands Earlier Heaven Flag, bringing it down towards Chen Qianhua.
Chen Qianhua was neither panicked nor flustered as he just pointed outwards behind him.
In that direction was none other than that thundercloud of Grand Illusory Spatial Thunder from earlier which had not exploded completely.
While Chen Qianhua had a strange temperament as he did whatever he liked, he was always very meticulous with respect to the details once he had set his mind on something.
This thundercloud had been within his calculations all along.
As Chen Qianhua clashed with a powerful enemy in the form of the Brocade Emperor, while he had to constantly shift and evade, he was still able to maintain his position in between the thundercloud and the Brocade Emperor.
His back was to the thundercloud as he would be able to control and utilise it at any time.
Chen Qianhua had also considered the possibility of Yan Zhaoge interfering in this battle.
He had similarly positioned himself such that he was blocking Yan Zhaoge from the thundercloud.
A major part of him being at a disadvantage more of the time in his battle with the Brocade Emperor could be attributed to the fact that he had limited his own space for movement.
In a contest between experts, a single inch could spell the difference between victory and defeat.
Chen Qianhua’s actions could be considered a bold demonstration of great skill.
Still, just as he was about to control the thundercloud and use it to block the Four Grands Earlier Heaven Flag, someone suddenly made a move!
Having previously been spectating and warily staying out of things, Yan Zhaoge’s figure suddenly flashed as he arrived below Chen Qianhua.
Boundless devilish qi also agglomerated about Yan Zhaoge at this moment.
The next instant, yet another jet-black devilish avatar had appeared within the devilish domain of the Nine Underworlds!
This avatar was not like the pitch black Buddha idol that Yan Zhaoge had previously manifested as, instead being similar to the avatar manifested by Chen Qianhua with the Immovable Devilish Body.
This was also a manifestation of the Existence Creation Heavenly Devil!
Roiling thunder rumbled, surging up straight towards Chen Qianhua.
“This is also a martial art of the Eight Ultimates of Creation of the devilish dao?” Chen Qianhua was momentarily taken aback, “The one that corresponds to thunder?”
It was none other than the Eight Desolaces Thunder Palm, a devilish art that existed alongside the Immovable Devilish Body as one of the Eight Ultimates of Creation that ultimately originated from the Existence Creation Heavenly Devil.
This blow was unable to break through Chen Qianhua’s Immovable Devilish Body.
Still, the Brocade Emperor who was attacking Chen Qianhua suddenly sensed that the Immovable Devilish Body which had been incomparably sturdy as it resembled an eternal divine mountain a moment ago had suddenly weakened greatly.
While it still seemed sturdy, an unconcealable feeling of weakness emanated from within.
“Mountain Above Thunder Below, Duo-Trigram?” Chen Qianhua’s gaze flickered as he instantly sensed the principles behind what he had been affected by.
Of the Eight Trigrams, this was the Duo-Trigram formed of Mountain Above Thunder Below, the two yangs conflicting externally as the interior was abandoned for the exterior, leading to a deficiency of nourishment that could not be overlooked.
This manifested the phenomenon wherein it was tough on the outside but soft on the inside, having a shell that was far weaker than it looked!
While the Eight Desolaces Thunder Palm was unable to break through the Immovable Devilish Body, it caused the latter to become incomparably fragile as it suffered other attacks from the external world.
Now, the Four Grands Earlier Heaven Flag waved downwards as it instantly sent Chen Qianhua spewing out blood as he flew backwards!
Behind him, the Grand Illusory Spatial Thunder that he himself had induced to explode ran totally amok as it transformed into numerous spatial vortexes that devoured him.
The backup move that he himself had prepared had now become a weapon used by another to do him harm.
The injured Chen Qianhua was hard pressed to break free of the chaotic flows of space as he could only be devoured by a spatial vortex.
Gazing back one final time, he saw Yan Zhaoge taking the form of that massive pitch black Buddha once more.
As the Brocade Emperor attacked Chen Qianhua with the Four Grands Earlier Heaven Flag rather than continuing to protect himself, Yan Zhaoge chanted once more, “Evaṃ mayā-śrutam, devils illuminate the myriad lifeforms!”
Yet another bolt of Heart’s Will Thunder streaked towards the Brocade Emperor!
Having suffered a first bolt of Heart’s Will Thunder before being attacked with the Heart’s Will Heavenly Scripture by Chen Qianhua, the Brocade Emperor ate a third successive strike now!

HSSB1100: Yin and yang of Taiji, black and white Brocade Emperors
The Brocade Emperor was left in a dishevelled, harried state by that bolt of thunder.
Seeing this, Chen Qianhua stared wide-eyed from amidst the spatial vortex that was devouring him.
Even Meng Wan whom Yan Zhaoge had been protecting earlier was left dumbfounded.
While he had fought the Brocade Emperor earlier, he could be considered his helper as he opposed Chen Qianhua, his opponent, now.
Worried that the Brocade Emperor and Chen Qianhua might suddenly change their minds, Yan Zhaoge had previously been a mere spectator by the sidelines, silently observing their battle.
It had been perfectly logical for him to do so, and perfectly logical for him to attack Chen Qianhua too.
Chen Qianhua posed a more direct threat to him than the Brocade Emperor who was clearly in a problematic state due to cultivation deviation.
Still, Meng Wan was inevitably rather taken aback by how he immediately attacked the Brocade Emperor after attacking Chen Qianhua.
While it was not rare to see people who were friends one moment and then one’s enemy the next, although Chen Qianhua seemed about to be devoured by the spatial vortex, it was not like he had no way at all of getting out of it.
Who knew if this mysterious Upper Exalt had other trump cards?
After helping the Brocade Emperor to break through Chen Qianhua’s defences, Yan Zhaoge had then wholly unceremoniously sent the Brocade Emperor a bolt of Heart’s Will Thunder while he was using the Four Grands Earlier Heaven Flag to attack Chen Qianhua.
He had grasped this opportunity with the utmost precision as it could not have been any more perfect.
One could only say that he changed his face quicker than flipping the pages of a book.
No one would find it surprising at all if such a thing had been done by Chen Qianhua as the currently mentally unstable Brocade Emperor acting this way would also not be so unexpected.
Having previously seemed to have a decent bottom line despite perhaps not being all that morally upright, Yan Zhaoge ended up playing this even more naturally than that Emperor and Exalt now.
He seemed to have been targeting both the Brocade Emperor and Chen Qianhua right from the start.
This was even more arrogant than Chen Qianhua who had clashed frontally with the Brocade Emperor.
On seeing this, Chen Qianhua’s eyes glowed, his spirits high as they had never been before.
He desperately wished to see what Yan Zhaoge would do next.
Yet, the spatial vortexes formed from the explosion of the Grand Illusory Spatial Thunder had already enveloped him.
The chaotic torrents induced by the complete explosion of such a massive cloud of Grand Illusory Spatial Thunder would be difficult to subvert even by a Tru
e Immortal.
He could only helplessly watch on as Yan Zhaoge and the Brocade Emperor vanished from his vision.
“Hey!” Despite having been heavily injured by Yan Zhaoge in the Eight Extremities World previously, also having been wounded by the Brocade Emperor with the Four Grands Earlier Heaven Flag just earlier, Chen Qianhua had never appeared dissatisfied or defeated in the least as he had instead seemed greatly entertained.
At this moment, however, he appeared exceptionally dissatisfied.
Yet, regardless of his wishes, Chen Qianhua could only be devoured by the chaotic flows of space, vanishing in an instant.
Now that this uncertain variable was confirmed to be no more, Yan Zhaoge no longer paid any attention to it as he focused all his attention on the Brocade Emperor before him.
Guarded by the Four Grands Earlier Heaven Flag as he had been, the efficiency of the Heart’s Will Thunder would be diminished greatly as Yan Zhaoge would be hard pressed to threaten him.
In suddenly attacking as the Brocade Emperor was attacking Chen Qianhua with the Four Grands Earlier Heaven Flag, Yan Zhaoge possessed a definite chance of succeeding with this manoeuvre.
Adding on his first thunderbolt from earlier, this was the third strike.
Yan Zhaoge and Chen Qianhua had both targeted the Brocade Emperor’s current mental vulnerability as if successively acting to compromise it.
Chen Qianhua’s attack had also become a part of Yan Zhaoge’s plan.
As for the ethical issue of backstabbing an ally of sorts, Yan Zhaoge naturally ignored this.
He was currently unleashing Heart’s Will Thunder with all his might.
The Brocade Emperor emitted a muffled groan as Taiji diagrams appeared within his pupils that rotated swiftly.
Yet, the representative black and white fishes of yin and yang that embraced each other shattered amidst their high-speed rotation!
As the final boundary was broken, the Brocade Emperor roared towards the heavens before losing his mortal form, transforming into a massive Taiji diagram that encompassed the heavens and earth.
Meng Wan gazed upwards at that Taiji diagram, shocked.
“Pushing open the door to Immortality, no longer being mortal,” Yan Zhaoge too gazed at that Taiji diagram, “Many laws of the human realm can still be applicable for True Immortals, yet many may not be. What decides everything is still the True Immortal themselves rather than laws any longer.”
“Therefore, Immortals can also possess bodies of flesh and blood, having children and such, yet could also lose their mortal bodies along with the characteristics of the myriad lifeforms.”
“Whichever the case, it all depends on they themselves. Thus, transformations are actually not that surprising.”
Yan Zhaoge casually said, “It is not simply that failing the Immortal Mortality Tribulation sees one perish with their dao dissipated, yet with them entering new heavens and earth if they succeed.”
He could already basically know what transformations were going to happen with the Brocade Emperor with this.
Right now, that massive Taiji diagram of yin and yang was rotating rapidly.
Then, the black and white Taiji diagram similarly began being pulled to the sides by a tearing force, gradually losing its original form as a result.
Finally, the black and white fishes of yin and yang separated for good, one black and one white going their separate ways as they split apart to become independent!
The rampant devilish qi of the Nine Underworlds that was in the vicinity began frenziedly converging towards the black and white fishes of yin and yang, forming two massive masses of qi between the heavens and earth.
The rate at which the devilish qi was being drawn over was even fiercer and more rapid than when Yan Zhaoge and Chen Qianhua had executed devilish martial arts and manifested avatars earlier.
Meng Wan appeared to have thought of something as she abruptly spun, looking at Yan Zhaoge.
Yan Zhaoge’s gaze was fixated on the two masses of qi, one white and one black, as it did not waver in the slightest.
Still, sensing the shock and uncertainty that Meng Wan was feeling, he nodded slightly in confirming her guess.
Seeing Yan Zhaoge nod, Meng Wan had a disbelieving expression on her face as she looked at those two massive masses of qi once more.
Those two masses of black and white qi began revolving about a certain fixed point amidst space.
Streaks of light surged from them as the Four Grands Earlier Heaven Flag similarly trembled up above.
As the light grew more and more brilliant, the shaking of the Four Grands Earlier Heaven Flag grew increasingly evident.
When the light had attained its maximum radiance, both the masses of qi gradually expanded.
Vast purple qi surged in all directions from both of them, instantly suffusing a vast area.
The two purple oceans of cloud qi extended unceasingly into the distance, a vacuum forming between them as they were clearly and distinctly in opposition to each other.
The shaking of the Four Grands Earlier Heaven Flag was even more evident and intense up above.
Gazing over, Yan Zhaoge and Meng Wan saw a figure appear at the centre of each of the two seas of cloud qi.
One of them was garbed in white, while the other was garbed in black.
Both their appearances were exactly the same as they differed in no way whatsoever.
They were both extraordinarily handsome and elegant, being none other than the Brocade Emperor.
Two Brocade Emperors, a white-clothed one and a black-clothed one, appeared before Yan Zhaoge and Meng Wan.
The two Brocade Emperors were both stationary with their eyes closed, neither speaking nor moving.
Gazing at such an incredible scene, Meng Wan was left completely at a loss for words.
She looked at Yan Zhaoge who shook his head, “Wait. Don’t approach them first.”
The earlier great battle had stirred up the Nine Underworlds greatly, drawing many evil Devils of the Nine Underworlds over.
Some of them with violent temperaments and irrational consciousnesses were already lunging over.
Within the purple seas of clouds, though the two Brocade Emperors still had their eyes closed, they simultaneously made a move.
The exact same action, the exact same time. Both their right palms waved outwards with a flourish.
Instantly, formless blades seemed to slice through the world, chopping all the incoming devils of the Nine Underworlds in two!
Lacking in great devils that were comparable to human experts of the Immortal realm, the remaining devils beat a hasty retreat as they saw this.
And now, the two Brocade Emperors opened their eyes in unison.
History's Strongest Senior Brother Chapter 1101: Contest between two Emperors
HSSB1101: Contest between two Emperors
Before they had opened their eyes, the two Brocade Emperor had looked exactly the same.
No other difference existed besides how one was garbed in white and the other black.
Even their attacks which had slain those devils had possessed complete similarity.
Still, after they had opened their eyes, one could just readily tell them apart.
Within the eyes of the white-clothed Brocade Emperor could be seen various emotions that included rage, sorrow, joy and benevolence etcetera, encompassing a vast spectrum.
One would literally gasp at how so many emotions could exist simultaneously within a person’s gaze.
The black-clothed Brocade Emperor was the complete reverse of him as his gaze was indifferent, completely devoid of any fluctuations of emotion.
He did not resemble a living thing as he looked at other lifeforms like they were inanimate objects.
While there was clearly no ferocity or viciousness in his gaze, it caused one to shiver unconsciously as they looked at him.
After opening his eyes, the white-clothed Brocade Emperor first looked at Meng Wan, his eyes fill
ed with benevolence and affection, “Don’t be scared, Wan’er. Everything’s okay.”
He next looked at Yan Zhaoge with his mood rather complex, “Truly exceptional, Little Friend Yan.”
The black-clothed Brocade Emperor first glanced at the Four Grands Earlier Heaven Flag up above before glancing indifferently towards Yan Zhaoge and Meng Wan.
The black-clothed Brocade Emperor’s gaze felt completely devoid of warmth, or anything for that matter.
The Four Grands Earlier Heaven Flag that was shaking up above finally transformed into a streak of light and flew off into the distance with a whoosh.
After glancing at Yan Zhaoge, Meng Wan and the white-clothed Brocade Emperor, the black-clothed Brocade Emperor shot off after the Four Grands Earlier Heaven Flag without saying a word.
“We will talk at greater length when the opportunity arises,” Looking at Yan Zhaoge and Meng Wan, the white-clothed Brocade Emperor sighed before heading off in pursuit as well.
The battlefield which had still been chaotic a moment ago now calmed.
Yan Zhaoge shaded his forehead with a hand and gazed after the two Emperors as they vanished into the distance, next turning and saying to Meng Wan, “It is not that the white-clothed Brocade Emperor does not wish to console you. Yet, if the Four Grands Earlier Heaven Flag ends up in the hands of the black-clothed Brocade Emperor, you will be in an extremely dangerous predicament.”
“In order to ensure the safety of you and Red Lotus Fu, this white-clothed Brocade Emperor is only able to place the Four Grands Earlier Heaven Flag as his top priority.”
“Of course, he definitely also has deep feelings for his accompanying weapon of many years. After all, the Four Grands Earlier Heaven Flag has been with him for much longer than even the combined ages of you and Red Lotus Fu.”
Hearing this, Meng Wan forced a smile, “Senior Brother Yan, you know that this is not what concerns me. I just want to know what exactly has happened to father…”
