If Dragon King Huanchen hesitated and did not flee in time, he would lose his life here.
After successfully wounding Dragon King Huanchen, Gao Qingxuan didn’t continue her pursuit. Instead, she turned around and aided Feng Yunsheng to fight against the strongest demon present – the Hundred Eyed Demon Lord.
The Hundred Eyed Demon Lord was undoubtedly strong. The thousands of eyes beneath his hypochondrium was continuously spewing out golden radiances and yellow fog, without the sign of them running out as if there wasn’t a limit to it.
The effectiveness of this innate ability surpasses all other martial arts he had learned when fighting against others.
However, the Hundred Eyed Demon Lord wasn’t having an easy time either.
Feng Yunsheng’s Doomsday Saber was much viler than his innate ability. In fact, it was much eerier and much more domineering as well!
Hundred Eyed Demon Lord could still withstand contending against her by continuously displaying his innate ability, releasing the golden radiance and white mists.
However, as Feng Yunsheng’s saber kept slashing downwards, the golden lights diminished, only to be replenished once more. As such, the radius of the golden radiance wasn’t reduced at all.
However, this ability capable of imprisoning time was slowly deteriorating, and its effectiveness was declining.
Despite not decreasing in quantity, its quality was experiencing a drop!
Compared to his opponents’ golden radiance being diminished, the Hundred Eyed Demon Lord was even more terrified and heartbroken by this turn of events.
This implied that his innate ability was being weakened and was crumbling from the foundation.
Although the speed wasn’t quick, it seemed impossible to overcome!
The eerie saber capable of making the laws crumble, sending everything to destruction, and ending everything shocked the Hundred Eyed Demon Lord.
The thing that he was more afraid of was how much denser the Feng Yunsheng’s ruthless gaze had gotten.
Her strength vaguely had the sign of escalating.
While her condition was related to her unstable state, causing her to lose control slowly, the Hundred Eyed Demon Lord was the one directly facing her going out of control.
Thinking about this, ruthlessness flickered within the Hundred Eyed Demon Lord’s eyes.
He extended his arms and continued releasing the golden lights and yellow fogs. At the same time, the treasured sword within his hand trembled, and he threw it upwards. The sword then transformed into a ray of majestic sword-light and descended upon Feng Yunsheng, slashing through everything obstructing its path.
The golden lights started condensing and concentrating together. He loosened the control of his environment and directed all the pressure towards Feng Yunsheng.
With this, Feng Yunsheng’s saber-light sliced through the smoke and shot towards the Hundred Eyed Demon Lord.
The Hundred Eyed Demon Lord did not evade. Instead, he decided to clash against Feng Yunsheng’s attack, in hopes of deeply wounding Feng Yunsheng here, thus having no more reason to continue being held back here.
This Great Demon, which had presided over an area since the last era, entered a frenzied state and decided to wound his opponent without regarding his well-being. He only hoped that his full-force strike was able to defeat Feng Yunsheng.
If Feng Yunsheng parried his attack, everything would go according to his plan, and he would gain the upper-hand in this battle.
Feng Yunsheng felt the change in the Hundred Eyed Demon Lord’s attack, yet her expression remained unfazed. Just like the Hundred Eyed Demon Lord, she decided to clash against him head-on with her attack forcefully.
As the saber and sword clashed against each other, her saber had slashed against the Hundred Eyed Demon Lord.
The Hundred Eyed Demon Lord had the golden radiances to protect him. When the saber landed on his shoulder, black gases immediately expanded outwards, causing the blue-black demonic radiance to ignite. It became hard for the Hundred Eyed Demon Lord to calm down the circulation of his Demonic Essence.
On the other side, the Guardian Divinity formed by Yan Zhaoge’s soul, and the Pill Hall was still standing atop the sky and unleashed a palm from afar.
The purple-golden lights traversed through the cosmic void and landed beside Feng Yunsheng.
The purple-golden light crashed into the all-encompassing golden radiance and yellow fog. While the golden light and yellow fog didn’t shatter, it vibrated for a while.
Being enveloped by the golden radiance and yellow fog, Feng Yunsheng felt it challenging to move. Initially, she had turned her body sideways and prepared to receive the Hundred Eyed Demon Lord’s sword.
When the radiance fog shook, she suddenly felt the constrictions on her body disappear. Using this opportunity, she changed her position, and the dark-yellow sword resembled a galaxy pass through her side.
The Hundred Eyed Demon Lord wasn’t willing to leave matters like this. The sword-light that shot out of his hand turned around and continued bombarding towards Feng Yunsheng.
However, this pause already granted Feng Yunsheng sufficient time. She parried and knocked the sword-light away!
The Hundred Eyed Demon Lord raised his head and let out a sigh. As he turned his head, he saw Dragon King Huanchen forced into retreat, while Gao Qingxuan started targeting the Jade Rabbit Demon. Her sword-light blotted the heavens, resembling a series of raging waves.
Above the pill hall, purple-golden radiances were flickering. A giant that resembled a general of the heavens was standing by the center, presiding over it. With a strike from afar, it aided Gao Qingxuan in attacking the Jade Rabbit Demon.
Although the Jade Rabbit Demon’s strength surpasses Dragon King Huanchen, she could only retreat helplessly.
Great Immortal Ru Yi, who had been forced back to his original form, was currently letting out an enraged growl filled with agony.
This old Bull Demon was both wounded and enraged, his eyes filled with veins.
With his enraged growl, his original form was already too huge to begin with increased in size once more, resembling the size of a divine mountain used to oppress the heavens in the past.
Heaven’s enlargement! [1]
The giant bull lowered his head, and he aimed his horns directly towards the Pill Hall. Then, he galloped with an overbearing momentum sufficient to collapse the entire cosmos, and came crashing towards the Overseer of Heavens, Awakened Benevolent Guardian Divinity formed by Yan Zhaoge!
At this moment, the entire Dao universe seemed to be trembling.
His hooves ferociously trampled the void’s space, and the huge bull instantly reached the purple-golden heaven’s general.
The purple-golden heaven’s general, with the appearance of Yan Zhaoge, let out a huge roar and extended both of its hands, accurately grabbing the huge bull’s horns!
The violent impact caused even the Overseer of Heavens, Awakened Benevolent Guardian Divinity’s figure to tremble.
The Pill Hall beneath was even trembling. The massive formation within the Purple Divine Pavilion almost couldn’t preside over the changes happening within the hall’s cosmos.
Fortunately, the Roving Jade Heavens and various other lower realms under its control had all been absorbed within the Pill Hall.
The white jade palace’s doors shut tightly with a loud bang.
Although disturbances were still occurring within the hall’s cosmos, the trembling of the entire Pill Hall calmed down a little.
The purple-golden giant formed by Yan Zhaoge stabilized itself and remained in the same spot. It stood within the void, and just like a mountain, it halted the advancement of the huge bull!
The frenzied bull’s hooves were continuously galloping forward, yet he could not continue moving forward.
The Guardian Divinity flickering with purple-golden radiances let out another growl.
Both of its palms unleashed the power of the Cyclic Heavenl
y Seal, which seemed capable of distorting within the entire cosmos.
At this moment, the entire Dao universe seemed to have been slightly distorted.
Numerous tiny stars collapsed. The giant Bull Demon couldn’t control his body any longer and was hurled away by the purple-golden giant, causing him to flip over.
As the Bull Demon cried out in agony, his strength weakened. However, Yan Zhaoge did not let him go.
The purple-golden giant’s hands firmly grabbed onto the bull’s horns and started exerting force towards another direction.
The third loud growl resounded within the universe as Yan Zhaoge snapped one of the huge bull’s horns apart!
The bull’s horn, as huge as a hill, was tossed aside by the purple-golden giant.
Its left hand was still grabbing onto the last horn. Its empty right hand raised upwards and came crashing its palm towards the huge bull’s head, hitting the bull’s head once more!
[1] It was a body morphing technique well known in Journey to the West.
History's Strongest Senior Brother Chapter 1352 - The End of an Era
The palm of the Overseer of Heavens, Awakened Benevolent Guardian Divinity, landed on the huge bull’s head.
Great Immortal Ru Yi’s Heavenly Enlargement was forcefully shattered apart.
The huge bull’s figure shrunk speedily and reverted to an appearance even smaller than his main form. He continuously rolled on the ground with one of his horns had already been forcefully snapped apart.
Great Immortal Ru Yi didn’t dare to stay any longer. He turned around and fanatically ran away clumsily.
On the other side, the Hundred Eyed Demon Lord couldn’t withstand it any longer and used the golden radiances beneath his hypochondrium to run away.
The purple-golden giant clad in armor slightly lifted its head and felt the tremble within the Dao universe, calming down instantly.
The situation was a bit abnormal.
Now that he had fused with the Pill Hall and transformed into the Pill Hall’s Guardian Divinity, Yan Zhaoge’s strength was already comparable to a top-notch Heavenly Monarch. His sense of perception had become unprecedentedly strong.
He could vaguely feel a feeling of unease within his heart.
It wasn’t an illusion.
Meanwhile, the Demon Race’s bigwigs like the Bull Demon King and the Nine-headed Great Sage were on defense against the possible arrival of the Daoism’s Heavenly Lords, and the Buddhism top-notch experts, they might place their attention here as well.
If they had a chance to take action, things would become more troublesome today.
Fortunately, the Roving Jade Heavens had already entered the hall’s cosmos, and his plan for today had already been achieved.
The huge purple-golden giant started disintegrating.
Gao Qingxuan, Feng Yunsheng, and the others did not chase after the fleeing demons. The Overseer of Heavens, Awakened Benevolent Guardian Divinity was the Pill Hall’s Guardian Divinity, and its area of activity must be around the Pill Hall.
Now that the Overseer of Heavens, Awakened Benevolent Guardian Divinity, had disintegrated, they wouldn’t gain any advantage even if they hunt down the fleeing demons. In fact, they might even be obstructed by the Bull Demon King and the others.
After gathering Long Xingquan, Yue Zhenbei, and the others, everyone returned to the Pill Hall together.
The Pill Hall regained its flashy golden appearance, and the surrounding sea of purple clouds became thicker. It brought along the Pill Hall and traversed within the Dao universe. Then, it broke through the Dao universe’s boundaries and re-entered the void’s boundless outskirts.
Within the void’s boundless outskirts, space itself was convoluted, and direction was hard to be determined. There was no such thing as north, south, east, west, or even up and down.
If one didn’t agree to meet with others in a spot previously known by both sides, even if they came out from the same place, they might end up being exceptionally far with each other, ignorant of the distance between the two.
However, they might come out from two completely different planes and coincidentally meet each other.
Fortunately, Yan Zhaoge and others were lucky. After leaving the Dao universe, they didn’t encounter Fuluo Zi and the others as they disappeared within the vast space.
On the other side, the Hundred Eyed Demon Lord, Great Immortal Ru Yi, Jade Rabbit Demon, Dragon King Huanchen, and the others grouped up with Fuluo Zi difficulty.
After regrouping, he omitted his obstruction against the Western Pure Lands’ Buddhism experts anymore. The group of Great Demons immediately returned to the Dao universe.
Without the obstruction of Fuluo Zi, the group of Buddhist experts instantly started gathering and descended upon the Dao universe as well.
Sadly, no one was here anymore.
This place, which the Roving Jade Heavens had been located at for thousands of years, disappeared along with the various lower realms under its control.
Currently, within the Dao universe, only the World beyond Worlds, and a small number of lower realms remains.
The few Great Demons filled with casualties were heaving out deep breathes, and their eyeballs were bloodshot.
The Hundred Eyed Demon Lord and the Jade Rabbit Demon were still in a decent condition. However, Great Immortal Ru Yi and Dragon King Huanchen were deeply wounded and had no more energy to fight against others.
This made them even more enraged, and they couldn’t hold in their urge to commit a massacre.
The Hundred Eyed Demon Lord had an ugly expression as well, and he was filled with resentment.
“The divine pill that entered my mouth managed to escape!” The Hundred Eyed Demon Lord gritted his teeth in anger.
Fuluo Zi’s expression became serious, and he let out a sigh, “We underestimated our enemies and made insufficient preparations.”
The few Great Demons held a deep resentment within their heart, and they stared around the Dao universe with gazes filled with malicious intents. As they scanned through the World beyond Worlds, their gaze halted.
“It’s pointless. It might even cause us some trouble. It’s not worth it if we merely feel like venting out our anger.” Fuluo Zi waved his hand and dragged the others away, “Now is not the appropriate time to declare another war against the Western Pure Lands. Also, all of you are wounded. We can’t guarantee that our opponents wouldn’t be thinking of taking advantage of the situation. We should leave now.”
The group of demons remained silent, and they slowly calmed down. Then, they left the Dao universe together unwillingly.
The Western Pure Lands’ group of Buddhism bigwigs were staring closely at the group of demons. However, in the end, nothing happened.
Within the World beyond Worlds, an old man was standing atop the Kunlun Mountain’s southern mountain – the Qilin Cliff. He placed his hands behind his back, and he stared at the vast sky. His distant gaze seemed to have traversed through the boundaries of the World beyond Worlds.
Several people stood in groups behind the old man and did the same action – looking up towards the sky.
“Earthly Sovereign, it seems like this calamity has come to an end,” said a black-clothed old man softly. It was the Myriad Emperor.
The old man in the lead was the Exalted Earthly Sovereign – Earthly Sovereign Jiang Shen.
He looked at the distant void and did not turn his head, “Indeed, it has ended.”
In the past, due to Yan Zhaoge extracting various lands of the World beyond Worlds, Jiang Shen had been spending most of his time conditioning the World beyond Worlds, ensuring the stability of the spirit qi’s circulation.
Although the Immortal Court, the Blessed Lands of the White Lotus, and even the Western Pure Lands and the Demon Race were in an intense war against each other, the Earthly Sovereign and the others mostly remained within the World beyond Worlds and did not exit it.
Their current utmost priority was to try
their best to stabilize the situation and dispose of all the previous influences caused by Yan Zhaoge and the others.
It was precisely because of this that all of them were gathered here and witnessed the short and intense battle that unfolded within the Dao universe.
Although Suo Mingzhang reduced Jiang Shen’s cultivation, his eyesight and other abilities were still present.
Naturally, when such a massive turn of events happened in the Roving Jade Heavens, Jiang Shen would immediately notice it, as he was within the Dao universe as well.
The other higher-up experts of the World beyond Worlds had received information about it and gathered by the Qilin Cliff.
After learning about the group of Great Demons besieging Yan Zhaoge and the others, they assumed that Yan Zhaoge’s group would meet their end.
However, the unexpected turns of events baffled them once more.
Just like twenty years ago.
Yan Zhaoge used the same method to extract half of the World beyond Worlds to extract the Roving Jade Heavens.
This time, he didn’t just take a portion away. Instead, he brought along the entire Roving Jade Heavens.
“They brought the Roving Jade Heavens away, along with the various lower realms under its control?” asked the Western Exalt – Lang Qing softly.
Jiang Shen nodded, “Indeed. Other than a few warped spaces, and the lower realms connected to the land of tranquil streams, the extractable ones had already been extracted.”
Everyone remained silent.
Jiang Shen remained silent as well.
They seemed to have witnessed the end of an era.
In the past, the Kunlun Nine Luminaries established the World beyond Worlds, while the Roving Jade Seven established the Roving Jade Heavens. Afterward, it slowly formed into the current Dao universe, until their boundaries thoroughly stabilized, causing a “wall” to be erected.
Now, the “wall” wasn’t present any longer. The entire Roving Jade Heavens had escaped, and more than half of the World beyond Worlds had disappeared.
After the Great Calamity, the entire Dao universe had been conditioning itself for thousands of years, as Daoism slowly returned to its prime. Now, the entire Dao universe seemed a little empty.
