Suddenly, rampaging black devilish flames rushed out from the World beyond Worlds, and was slashed towards the huge fiery formation that “Yang Ce”’s body had formed!
Wherever the blue-blackish devilish radiance reached, even flames ended up being burned, and were incinerated into nothingness!
Ling Qing frowned slightly. She used one hand to suppress the Pill Hall, and she grabbed the Holy Radiance Banner with her other hand. She then waved it towards the World beyond Worlds.
The violent solar winds transformed into a myriad of golden rays, and instantly filled up the entire universe.
However, the dark devilish qi that had ethereal dim blue flames within surged with an increase in strength.
The horrifying corroding power was boundless. As if it could swallow the heavens and devour the sun, it devoured all the radiance emitted by the sun, which made it fade completely.
All of a sudden, the Dao universe radiating with the sunlight became dim.
Within the Dao universe, a solar eclipse appeared.
The ruthless Rahu Star corroded everything opposing it, and devoured the lights emitted from the Solar Star, as if it was now the new monarch of the world.
The brightness faded continuously, and the entire cosmos seemed to have succumbed into darkness.
“…Jian Shunhua?” said Ling Qing calmly.
A chilly moonlight suddenly lit up within the darkness. As if a bottle of moonlight had exploded, moonlights started gushing out of it and expanded throughout the cosmos.
A moonlight was mellow, and it never served to chase the darkness away. In contrast, it wouldn’t be devoured by darkness either.
The silver-white moonlight suddenly transformed, and the brilliance of a huge sun reappeared. With yin and yang replacing each other, it resembled the replacement of a sun and a moon. The two of them fused together, and transformed into a raging brilliance that counter-attacked the darkness, resulting in the dark devilish flames being shattered!
Just as the darkness was slowly being pushed back, a much more sinister and terrifying aura appeared from within!
Ling Qing’s tranquil gaze suddenly became serious after sensing that aura, “Isn’t this the insight strength of the Devil of Aged Metal?”
“Jian Shunhua, what in the world did you do in the Nine Underworlds?”
History's Strongest Senior Brother Chapter 1307 - Doomsday Annihilation Blade
Very little people knew about the Exalted Rahu Luminary – Jian Shunhua’s plan of revival and her plot with Nine Underworlds Devils.
Most of the people within the New Kunlun Nine Luminaries vaguely knew some parts of it in all actuality. The Exalted Lunar Luminary – Ling Qing was naturally among one of them.
Jian Shunhua planned to acquire the Great Devil Authority, and her target was the Devil of Aged Metal, who was killed by the Exalted Gold Luminary – Yan Xintang!
The target of the Exalted Rahu Luminary wasn’t a Great Devil of the Heavenly Monarch Realm, nor was it an ordinary Heavenly Lord Great Devil.
Instead, it was the Devil of Aged Metal, one of the Twelve Devilish Gods!
Ling Qing knew why she was so daring and had the confidence to succeed. After all, she had the support of both the Southern Extremity Longevity Emperor and the North Star Emperor.
It wasn’t Jian Shunhua’s intentions. Instead, it involved the plottings of the experts on a higher level.
It’s meant to be…
At this moment, Ling Qing felt that something was out of place after sensing the sinister aura of the devilish black fire.
It wasn’t like the insight strength of the Sword Devil – Yin Shiyang and the others who were once a Devil of Aged Metal. It wasn’t as ferocious, and it wasn’t sharp to the extreme.
Instead, it was much colder, much more deadly silent. It was a much more terrifying, horrifying, and sinister aura!
As if all the Evil Qis that appeared since the creation of the universe were all accumulated together and brought upon annihilation to the entire world!
The moment the sinister black devilish flame’s aura was emitted, the entire Dao universe presented the phenomena of it withering towards annihilation!
If it weren’t for the devilish black flame owner concentrating its strength in a specific area, the World beyond Worlds would be devastated.
After all the flames’ strengths were concentrated into one point, it turned into a jet-black blade. It sliced through the fabrics of space and reached Ling Qing’s front.
With the sun and moon alternating, the radiance of extreme yin and extreme yang were fused. However, it was torn apart by the jet-black blade.
The boundless darkness devoured the radiance of the sun and moon again and enveloped the entire universe.
Ling Qing’s expression was icy. The silvery-white moonlight around her was automatically set ablaze and was transformed into a field of blue-black darkness!
Ketu Dim Encompass Mantra!
When Gao Han’s clone – the Exalted Concealed Luminary created his martial arts, the Exalted Lunar Luminary had also given contributions to its development.
Ling Qing possessed both the power of the Moon Star of the Extreme Yin and the Moon Eclipse Ketu.
As light and darkness were dissolving each other, Ling Qing pushed her palm forward and displayed the powers of the Cyclic Heavenly Seal.
When the two extremities of the power of light and darkness were twisted to an extreme extent, they combined and formed an insurmountable force.
At the same time, Ling Qing grabbed the Holy Radiance Banner and slowly slashed it forward.
Although her actions appeared slow, it was swift. It directly broke through the fabrics of the cosmic void!
The Holy Radiance Banner was the Immortal Artifact that the Exalted Solar Luminary – Gao Han had crafted. It inherited the insightful power from the lineage Gao Han was in.
Like how Yan Zhaoge had previously activated the Mars Halberd in the Original Nebula for the first time, Ling Qing had temporarily borrowed the Holy Radiance Banner. As such, she wasn’t exactly that familiar with using it.
However, she had also learned the Heaven Opening Scripture.
The profundities she had acquired through the Heaven Opening Scripture merged with Gao Han’s insights of the Heaven Opening Scripture stored within the Holy Radiance Banner.
The long radiating banner slashed forward with force capable of opening the heavens and splitting the earth. It broke through the darkness as if it wanted to establish its world!
The primordial gulf broke apart; the attributes of earth, water fire, and wind were rampaging. In the next instant, they all transformed into boundless sunlight.
The sunlight slashed forward and continuously broke the void apart.
It continuously expanded the same way throughout the entire cosmic universe and continuously ventured forward without any hints of stopping.
As for the previous extreme yin and reversed moon, they underwent the cyclic power of the light and darkness, and the Cyclic Heavenly Seal’s majestic strength provided sufficient force to push forward the sunlight that was continuously venturing forward. It made the sunlight stronger and stronger, allowing it to move forward continuously without stopping!
The extremely sinister dark blade seemed indestructible at this moment.
Even the sunlight opening the heavens and splitting the earth was continuously being slashed apart by the dark blade!
Fortunately, Ling Qing’s attacks were much sturdier. As she continued releasing her powers together with the Holy Radiance Banner, she slowly wore down the terrifying blade capable of annihilating the sun and moon.
Afterward, the black blade faded, and most of the devilish black flames were slashed away.
However, Ling Qing’s attacks had no more strength to advance anymore.
After forcefully clashing against that blade, she felt her strength of insights slowly being worn down.
It wasn’t because of the consumption of her Immortal Essence. Instead
, her insights regarding the profundities of the various martial arts she had learned were gradually weakening!
Her understanding of the laws of the world seemed to be declining.
A barrier seemed to have appeared in the connection she had established together with the world’s creation.
She didn’t lose her memories. However, she seemed never to have comprehended the insights of the Dao before. As if all her previous efforts were just her tricking herself, and she hadn’t been paying attention in cultivating.
For someone that had already ascended the Immortal Realm, and for a Heavenly Monarch that had achieved the Five Qis Unifications, this would naturally be impossible.
But now, it happened.
It was different from when Suo Mingzhang used the Heaven Severing Scripture to lower Gao Han, Jiang Shen, and Yang Ce’s cultivation realm.
Ling Qing seemed to have understood something. She stared at the vast dark aura that grew stronger again with a weird gaze.
Jiang Shen and Yue Zhenbei involuntarily focused on the current situation.
Jiang Shen knew a little about Jian Shunhua’s matter. He was currently frowning, and his heart was filled with fear and doubt.
Yan Zhaoge had mentioned Feng Yunsheng’s experience to Yue Zhenbei previously. Feeling the insightful power of that blade just now, he had a bad feeling about it.
He vaguely remembered an ancient myth. It seemed to resemble the phenomena he was currently witnessing profoundly.
With the Pill Hall, Yan Zhaoge’s happy expression and smile faded when he saw that blade. He gritted his teeth, “Jian Shunhua, you fanatic! Serves you right for perishing!”
If it was any other matters, he might even give the Exalted Rahu Luminary a thumbs up for her bravery.
Even if it happened on himself, Yan Zhaoge would harbor feelings of enjoyment and fight the heavens and earth.
However, when it happened to someone related to him, Yan Zhaoge felt like scolding someone.
Like Ling Qing, Jiang Shen, and Yue Zhenbei had sensed, Jian Shunhua had managed to acquire the Great Devil Authority. However, it wasn’t the Devil of Aged Devil that she had initially planned to target.
Or, it should be said that she never told everyone about her plan very clearly.
The Exalted Rahu Luminary was targeting someone much more terrifying than the Devil of Aged Metal, one of the Six Great Extinct Devil!
Twelve Devilish Gods were divided into two categories.
One of them was the Six Great Extinct Devils. They consisted of the Heart Devil, the Devil of Aged Metal, the Wood Devil, the Water Devil, the Devil of Fire, and the Earth Devil. They were all the most top-notch Great Devils, the Ancient Devils.
The other category was the Six Ancestral Devils. They were existences that were much more ancient and stronger than the Six Extinct Devils!
The Six Ancestral Devils were all born during the Earlier Heavens.
The only exception was the Earlier Heaven Ancestral Devil. It had never appeared in the world before the dawn of time. In the myths, he would descend upon the world during the doomsday, when the later heaven was ending.
No one knew about his title either. Based on his characteristics, humans gave him a temporary title.
The Doomsday Heavenly Devil [1]!
[1] Previous translations referred to it as Finality Law Heavenly Devil. But, we thought that Doomsday is more befitting.
History's Strongest Senior Brother Chapter 1308 - Regain Control Over the Universe and Change the World!
Initially, Yan Zhaoge thought that it was risky enough for the Exalted Rahu Luminary – Jian Shunhua to target a Heavenly Lord Great Devil with the Tranquil Profound Realm cultivation she possessed when she perished.
From the looks of it now, she was much more daring than expected and was even more of a fanatic.
Among the Twelve Devilish Gods, the Doomsday Heavenly Devil was an extremely special existence.
Just like how the Primordial Heavenly Devil fought for the Primordial position with the Daoist Jade Clear’s Primordial Heavenly Lord, the Doomsday Heavenly Devil and the Lord of Prime Clear Numinous Treasure both symbolised phenomena of the “start” and the “end”. They both symbolised the phenomena of the world perishing.
If the Lord of Numinous Treasure had yet to be illuminated, he would have to fight against the Doomsday Heavenly Devil when Doomsday arrived.
On the other hand, it was precisely because the Lord of Numinous Treasure had been illuminated that the Doomsday Heavenly Devil’s descent upon the world would be extremely successful. Now, he would only have to wait for Doomsday’s arrival.
However, before it happens, the Doomsday Heavenly Devil would not appear in the world.
Because of this, unlike the Devil of Aged Metal, who was always awaiting his revival, it would be nearly impossible to acquire the Doomsday Heavenly Devil’s Authority.
However, after seeing the devilish black flames’ blade materialized, he felt the insightful powers of all laws being abolished, and Doomsday was descending upon the world. From this, Yan Zhaoge knew that the Exalted Rahu Luminary – Jian Shunhua had succeeded.
It didn’t imply that she would be able to replace the Doomsday Heavenly Devil.
After all, the foundations in strength between the two of them were too enormous.
However, she had indeed acquired part of the sixth Ancestral Devil’s powers, and laid down the path for her cultivation.
However, the repercussions were extremely frightening if one were to think about it.
For example, would the sixth Ancestral Devil that symbolised Doomsday descend upon the world earlier than expected?
Yan Zhaoge had always not been afraid of guessing other’s intentions in the most despicable way. He was suspecting that this was the counterattack of the top-notch Great Devils of the Nine Underworlds towards the Southern Extremity Longevity Emperor and the North Star Emperor. After all, they had instructed Jian Shunhua to cause havoc within the Nine Underworlds.
Or, this might have been the plan of the Southern Extremity Longevity Emperor or others to begin with. Did they want to use this to delay and interrupt the Doomsday Heavenly Devil’s descent?
No matter which possibility was correct, Feng Yunsheng would have to hold onto all the responsibilities and repercussions after Jian Shunhua had made such a huge move.
Within the blue-black fiery sea that was enveloped in dark smokes, a woman’s figure slowly appeared.
She tied her ponytail with a green thread, and her snow-white robes were being dragged on the floor with the jet-black long blade on her hand.
The woman pointed her blade diagonally towards Ling Qing.
She was Feng Yunsheng, the one that had been missing for many years!
It was just like how she looked when Yan Zhaoge first met her in the Eight Extremities World.
“… You aren’t Jian Shunhua.” Ling Qing stared at her, “Jian Shunhua failed. Did you make this happen?”
Feng Yunsheng said calmly, “What kind of person is the Exalted Rahu Luminary? It’s already lucky enough for me to regain my freedom, which allowed me to return to my clan. How would I have the spare efforts to bother myself with other matters? After all, plotting wasn’t my specialty, to begin with.”
Ling Qing stared at her for quite some time, and nodded lightly, “Did Jian Shunhua dig her own grave? However, you’re quite something if you were able to win against Jian Shunhua. If I were in your shoes, I wouldn’t have the confidence to win her.”
“You praise me too much, Exalted Lunar Luminary. I merely got lucky.” No hints of pride were written on Feng Yunsheng’s expression. She was still as calm as ever.
After seeing Yan Zhaoge’s North Ocean Clone in the World beyond Worlds, she understood the current situation.
Her jade white palm held onto the jet-black blade firmly. She pointed it diagonally towards Ling Qing and said in a calm tone, “I’m forced to fight against you today. My clan and my husband are here. I wan
t to fight for their sake!”
Ling Qing said, “You have your reason to persist, but I have it too. Let’s decide it with our battle. After all, you’re still not the Ancestral Devil.”
As she was talking, the Holy Radiance Banner in her hands swayed. Rays of golden lights fell upon Gao Han’s fiery formation and purged the devilish black flames corroding it.
At the same time, Ling Qing placed her palm on the Pill Hall.
After Feng Yunsheng held Ling Qing back with her appearance, Yan Zhaoge finally had control over his ritual, and shifted from defense to offense.
The current situation wasn’t appropriate for him to happily chatter with Feng Yunsheng after reuniting.
Ling Qing would naturally not ignore the light pillars that connected the Pill Hall with the World beyond Worlds that were condensing once more.
However, just as she attacked, Feng Yunsheng stepped upon the void and strode forward.
The seemingly inconspicuous jet-black long saber in her hand became much sharper and ruthless than ever.
The Cold Sun Divine Saber far surpassed its capabilities in the past.
The horrifying black devilish flames formed a blade and rampaged across the cosmos. It sliced through the sunlight and moonlight and even wanted to slice through Ling Qing.
“Naturally, I cannot be compared to the Doomsday Heavenly Devil. However, under the current circumstances…” Feng Yunsheng’s gaze was as calm as a tranquil river, “…What about it?”
The sinister black blade sliced through the fabrics of the void and left a sharp trace upon it. Time and space seemed to be non-existent, and only the shapeless darkness remained as if a hole was left upon the Dao universe.
A much more majestic power that would inflict more profound despair was released. As if it was slowly freeing itself from its shackles, it became much more horrifying.
The boundless cosmos seemed to have been compressed into a flat surface. It blocked Ling Qing from advancing with only a line on the flat surface and stopped her from reaching her destination.
Ling Qing swayed the Holy Radiance Banner and slashed it towards the line, making ripples appear on the line.
