  As the ice-cold devilish radiance slowly converged, they vaguely formed a seal with the size of a fist.

  The seal became clearer and clearer, while the devilish intent released from within became more and more intense.

  In contrast, the Devilish qi released from Chen Xuanzong and Chu Lili slowly weakened.

  Throughout the whole process, no signs of the Water Devil could be seen from the crack of their forehead.

  Instead, the glittering blue radiance became more and more brilliant on the seal that was slowly taking form. From the blue radiance, a pair of eyes seemed to be opening slowly.

  Horrifying intents filled with ice-coldness and bleakness released from within.

  However, Yan Zhaoge and the others had already made preparations beforehand. Intense brilliance was released from the group of embers, which gathered upon the seal.

  As the crimson red brilliance intertwined, they tightly locked the ice-blue seal away, suppressing it.

  Previously, the gold sphere’s form had been unstable. At this moment, it suddenly circulated.

  As the gold sphere circulated, the streams out lights outside of the Domain of Thousand Scales started circulating as well.=.

  Various formations that were previously laid down started displaying their uses.

  There was only one purpose.

  To dispose of the devilish intent pestering Chen Xuanzong and Chu Lili, and to forcefully cut off the Water Devil’s path to reincarnation!

  The ice-blue radiance released on the seal became brighter, while the intent released from within became more ruthless and ice cold.

  Within that radiance, a powerful intent seemed to be causing a quake within the Domain of Thousand Scales.

  However, under the efforts of Yan Zhaoge, Chen Xuanzong, and the others, it was forcefully suppressed!

  The Water Devil had already undergone perishment after all. Even when it was sought to be reincarnated, he shouldn’t exist in this world at all.

  Under the Domain of Thousand Scales’ imprisonment and the gold sphere, the Water Devil, Chen Xuanzong, and Chu Lili were utterly isolated from the world and the Evil Devils in the outside world. It was practically impossible for both sides to communicate with each other.

  Yan Zhaoge and the others first pressed the Water Devil into isolation, which also brought about suppression.

  At this moment, within the deepest area in the center of the Nine Underworlds, the Abyss of Devilish Sea was undergoing a ruckus.

  “The Water Devil is in trouble. This must be because of those people.”

  “The clue had just been cut off. Now, we can’t locate them anymore.”

  “We can delineate the approximate area they’re located in. If we send more people, we’ll be able to locate them somehow.”

  “We don’t have much time.”

  “If we can’t assist the Water Devil, we can still assist the Earth Devil. Let’s go.”

  A tremor occurred in the Nine Underworlds. Previously, to prevent other forces from noticing, they had remained silent the entire time. With the matters escalating, the brewing storm started making its move!

  Many Evil Devils rushed out of the Nine Underworlds and entered the void’s boundless outskirts. Then, they dashed towards where Chu Lili had vanished.

  The Devils group that was initially secluding themselves by the void’s outskirts started making their moves as well.

  To prevent being noticed by Yan Zhaoge, Feng Yunsheng, and the others, they didn’t dare follow too closely.

  As a result, they lost track of Yan Zhaoge, Chu Lili, and the bunch.

  However, the approximate area had been delineated by them. The Domain of Thousand Scales was among them.

  Simultaneously, within the Awakened Sky Cosmos, which seemed completely unrelated to these matters, a queer transformation occurred within the Pill Hall in the Sky beyond Skies’ Broad Creed Mountain.

  Within the core pill room, Shi Jun, who was initially cultivating, suddenly let out a groan.

  Without any warnings, a vertical crack appeared on his forehead.

  From the crack, dense and desolate ochre-colored radiances shot out from within.

  As for Ying Yuzhen, who was in slumber within the ice coffin, the same devilish pattern appeared on her forehead as well. Ochre-colored radiance surged from within as well, deeply resembling Shi Jun’s devilish pattern. Yet, it was even more calamitous and sinister!

  However, compact seals surfaced from the walls, roof, and the floor of the pill room in the same instant.

  Chain-like radiances intertwined with each other and descended upon Shi Jun and Ying Yuzhen.

  Seal formations appeared on their forehead as well, which continually suppressed the devilish patterns, as well as the ochre radiances leaking from within.

  Upon noticing the rays of radiance flickering from the pill room, Xu Fei, who was guarding the pill room from outside, said, “They’re here!”

  During the commotion, an ochre-colored pearl appeared within the pill room. It was the Earth Splitting Pearl.

  The Earth Splitting Pearl transformed into a radiance clump, which fused with the pill room’s entire building structure.

  Then, the runes by the pill room’s wall turned ochre color as well.

  Under such suppression, the devilish intent surging from Shi Jun and Ying Yuzhen was suppressed even further.

  “This should provide us sufficient time!” Xu Fei stared at the scene, transpiring in front of him.

  When a Great Devil reincarnates, their strength upon reincarnation would be uncertain. They might even be extremely weak and required time to recover.

  Naturally, the Nine Underworlds hoped that the two Extinct Devils would safely return to the Nine Underworlds. As such, the two Devils reincarnated at the same time to divert Yan Zhaoge and the others’ attention away.

  Yan Zhaoge took advantage of such acts. While holding the Earth Devil’s reincarnation back, he baited Water Devil into the Domain of Thousand Scales. After dealing with the Water Devil, they would then take care of the Earth Devil’s threat.

  Yan Zhaoge and the others had grasped the opportune moment and location in their hands.

  They had finally caught up to the Nine Underworlds’ footsteps. They even surpassed the Nine Underworlds!

  History's Strongest Senior Brother Chapter 1420 - Chaotic Heavenly Devil Slaying Ritual

  At this moment, hidden undercurrents were surging within the vast and boundless void.

  Nine Underworlds seemed to have revitalized. It transformed into an independent life form that continuously expanded outwards and devoured the vast void.

  However, a strong intent that was unimaginable, unassessable, and indescribable was instantly displayed within the void.

  That was an existence existing in a plane much higher than the creation of the world. It was ethereally lofty as if it existed in both planes.

  Even those that had pushed open the Immortal Door couldn’t notice it, nor could they sense the profundities from within.

  Yet, the Nine Underworlds felt it.

  As a result, the Nine Underworlds’ restlessness came to a stop.

  However, this didn’t stop the Great Devils on par with Immortal Realm experts to leave the Nine Underworlds and disappearing into the void.

  The devil in the lead was a clump of dark shadow. He didn’t have any form, nor did he have any shape. He just blended in together with the dark and vast boundless void.

  He was the Wood Devil – one of the Six Ancestral Devils among the Twelve Devilish Gods.

  He could also be called the Shadow Devil.

  The Shadow Devil led a group of devils towards the domain in which Chen Xuanzong, Chu Lili, and the others had vanished.

  Behind him, devilish auras filled the entire area. Other Grand Heavenly level Devils came along with him as well.

  This battle was related to the two Extinct Devils’ reincarnation – the Water Devil and the Earth Devil. Naturally, the Nine Underworlds couldn�
��t just ignore it. Even if they were aware of the possibilities of being besieged, they had to risk it.

  However, very quickly, someone had blocked their paths within the boundless void.

  They were Daoism’s Grand Heavenly experts.

  The two sides immediately clashed against each other.

  Both sides had their scruples. While the Nine Underworlds had to prevent other forces from intervening, the orthodox Daoism had to prevent others from taking advantage of the situation.

  Even if the Immortal Court and the Blessed Lands of the White Lotus were in a fierce war against each other, one couldn’t possibly underestimate the mightiness of the Immeasurable Heavenly Lord.

  After all, the Immortal Court’s sticky situation was caused by Suo Mingzhang massacring those of the Immortal Court.

  If the Immeasurable Lord had the opportunity to lock onto Suo Mingzhang’s traces, the possibility of him making a move wasn’t zero.

  Under such influence, as the two contended against each other, the Nine Underworlds Devils couldn’t do anything about their path being blocked.

  Only the group of devils previously scattered at the outer area could shrink their group and continue locating Yan Zhaoge and the others’ whereabouts.

  With such limited manpower, their speed of locating Yan Zhaoge and the group would decrease considerably.

  As time went by, the devilish intent between Chen Xuanzong and Chu Lili was continuously being extracted.

  The rune suspended in mid-air grew bigger and bigger, while the ice-blue radiance grew brighter as well.

  The ice-cold and cruel intent originating from the Water Devil continuously struggled while letting out thunderous roars.

  The rune wasn’t remaining stationary in mid-air. Instead, it continuously swayed from left to right.

  At first, the rune attempted to close in to Chen Xuanzong.

  Chen Xuanzong and Chu Lili had finally met each other. The devilish pattern that broke apart thanks to Yan Zhaoge and Jie Mingkong had finally been completed.

  To the Water Devil, the most compatible physique was still Chen Xuanzong.

  However, Chen Xuanzong’s cultivation was much stronger than Chu Lili. While Chu Lili was close to being senseless, Chen Xuanzong was still wide awake.

  As such, after a moment of contemplation, the rune decisively shifted towards Chu Lili’s side.

  However, Yan Zhaoge and Chen Xuanzong had full control over the situation. Even if the Water Devil was dominating, he couldn’t possibly succeed.

  However, at this moment, everyone present felt a sense of fluctuation in their heart, and something blinked before their eyes.

  No matter if it was Chen Xuanzong, Yan Zhaoge, Feng Yunsheng, or Yan Di, they both felt an insuppressible surge within their hearts.

  Chu Lili, who hadn’t been speaking or moving, suddenly opened her eyes.

  Her eyes were pitch black. There wasn’t any radiance, nor was there any emotions contained within.

  Although the voice still belonged to her, her tone was completely different from her usual self, “So, it’s the Domain of Thousand Scales. No wonder why communication between us could be hindered.”

  As Yan Zhaoge suppressed his emotions, he stared at Chu Lili.

  “…Heart Devil!” He shouted in a low voice.

  Being classified as one of the Six Extinct Devils along with the Water Devil and the Wood Devil, he was once of the oldest existence among the Devils. Someone who wouldn’t perish – the Heart Devil!

  According to the legends, as long as intelligent life forms still existed within the world, the Heart Devil would be able to reincarnate. As the public acknowledged, he was the most formidable existence to be killed off!

  His tone was peaceful as if an old man was casually conversing with his grandchildren, “You’re Yan Zhaoge, right? During the past few years, your name stormed my ears very frequently. Now that I’ve finally had a look at you, as expected, you’re truly someone exceptional.”

  As he was talking, “Chu Lili” turned to look at Feng Yunsheng, “After you finished relieving your boredom, remember to return, my child.”

  Feng Yunsheng shook her head and said, “I’m afraid you might have recognized the wrong person.”

  The Heart Devil smiled, and his gaze swept towards Yan Di. Then, he nodded, “The Nine Underworlds welcomes a talented prodigy like you anytime. The Elder Lord remains unpredictable, and your Daoism has no Dao Realm bigwigs leading you all. In the end, you’re all barely surviving with the dangers looming around. Even if your Daoism lineage wouldn’t end, there’s no insurance for your safety. With one wrong move, you’ll cease to exist.”

  “Even though other forces are oppressing our Nine Underworlds, we’re still stronger than the current orthodox Three Clears. While improving yourself still depends on your luck, at the very least, you wouldn’t have to worry about your safety anymore.”

  “Chu Lili”’s tone was neither rushed nor unhurried, nor did it sound overly sincere. It was sufficient in bewitching someone, as it was filled with sincerity as well. One couldn’t help but harbor good impressions toward his words.

  However, Yan Di remained silent and calmly stared at the Heart Devil.

  Upon seeing Yan Di’s response, the Heart Devil didn’t say anything else. He merely smiled and shook his head while staring at the father and son duo, “No matter how things turn out today, my previous words still apply to you.”

  “She” then looked at Chen Xuanzong, “I’ve sensed your disturbed heart since long ago.”

  “As for why it doesn’t matter. The important thing is that your heart has experienced discomposure.” The Heart Devil smiled and shut his eyes again.

  Chu Lili then returned to her initial state.

  Meanwhile, Chen Xuanzong let out a groan and frowned tightly.

  Within his eyes, black lights flickered.

  However, Chen Xuanzong remained calm. In fact, his expression remained calm and composed.

  Because, after the conversation, Yan Zhaoge’s hand seals changed rapidly. As both of his hands formed a seal, he placed them in front of his chest and remained in his position.

  “Duh!”

  A loud yell resounded from his mouth.

  The gold sphere which enveloped everyone, including the void around them, underwent another transformation!

  Within the sphere, the eighty-one embers were already burning blazingly. At this moment, the gold sphere released a brilliance that rendered it transparent.

  Hundreds of millions of runes converged together and formed eighty-one radiating orbits with different trajectories. With Yan Zhaoge and the others as their center, they started circulating.

  While the radiating orbits spun in different directions, their centers remained the same. As such, different trajectories were intertwining with each other as they circulated.

  As if the eighty-one stars’ trajectories were currently circulating the entire skies.

  “While the Chaotic Heavenly Devil Slaying Ritual is used as a precaution against other devils, it’s mainly used against you, Heart Devil,” said Yan Zhaoge quietly.

  History's Strongest Senior Brother Chapter 1421 - Unprecedented Invention

  As the eighty-one light radiating orbits circulated, streaks of lights descended upon Chen Xuanzong and Chi Lili.

  Basking under the illumination, black radiances surfaced from Chen Xuanzong and Chu Lili.

  Then, the black radiances distorted and transformed into a riot of colorful irregularly shaped clouds.

  Within the colorful clouds filled with vivid lusters, a myriad of phenomena was contained within, as if all sorts of matters in the world were being displayed. The scenes were displaying copious amounts of mortal affairs, as well as the lively voices of the mortal realm.

  As the dark radiance vanished, colorful clouds took over its position. The devilish intent disappeared entirely from the void.

  Even though hardships existed, rather than the violent and callous intent, they o
riginated from all sorts of mortal worlds’ phenomena.

  Staring at the colorful clouds was equivalent to watching the vicissitudes of life occurring in the mortal world.

  Only, just like how the distortion of the colorful clouds was indescribable, one would sense the queerness and awkwardness filled within the ordinary life when looking closely into it.

  At this moment, the streaks of lights that descended from the void entangled the colorful clouds as if they were reels of chains.

  Upon being sealed by the streaks of lights, the colorful clouds’ influence towards Chen Xuanzong and Chu Lili was weakened.

  The radiance enveloped even Yan Zhaoge, Yan Di, and Feng Yunsheng. Their previous wavering emotions had also returned to normal.

  “Chu Lili” reopened her eyes. However, the dark radiance within interchanged between brightness and darkness, with no way of maintaining a stable state.

  The streaks of lights surrounded the colorful cloud atop her head. Even when its shape was distorted, it had no way of escaping.

  “Chu Lili” asked, “What… is this? I don’t think of myself… as someone lacking in knowledge… Yet, I can’t recognize this… Chaotic Heavenly Devil Slaying Ritual? I’ve never heard of such a treasure…”

  In terms of seniority, the Heart devil was considered one of the oldest existences in the world. With no way of perishing, he had experienced the Primitive era, the Ancient era, the Middle era, and survived until now.

  Even if he wasn’t born before the establishment of creation, he had heard of all sorts of matters within the primordial gulf.

  Due to his superior authority, he became someone possessing an astronomical amount of knowledge. Even among the Grand Heavenly Realm experts, he was considered one of the top-notch existences.

  As one of the most top-notch, most robust, and most ancient devil, the Heart Devil had experienced all sorts of wars against other lineages.

  The Heart Devil had the grasp on other lineages’ methods to eradicate and slay devils.

  Yet, at this moment, he felt extremely foreign toward the transforming gold sphere.

  The Heart Devil could discern some of the theories just by looking at them. Yet, when combining them, the Heart Devil was left confused.
