As the Great Devil was speaking, the Vine Sovereign suddenly yelled angrily, “Stop wasting your efforts. I’ll give you my life. My disciples would never relent to your threats…”
Before she finished speaking, her voice was suddenly cut off.
While her figure could still be seen, the crimson-red starlights prevented her voice from leaking out.
The Great Devil chuckled and said, “Such bravery, such commendable resolutions. Of course, whether she lives or not isn’t for her to decide. It’s yours.”
“Let’s not talk about whether you’re capable of killing me or not. Even if you all could, do you think it’s worth it?”
“Once a human perishes, they can’t reincarnate. There’s no point in killing me. It’s not like there aren’t any options in saving her. What are you all hesitating for?”
The Devil Monarch continued talking, in an attempt to persuade Gao Qingxuan and Daoist Cloud Conquest’s decision.
While they were talking, the attacks directed towards the Taiyi Imperial Breaking Formation and the Domain of Thousand Scales had never stopped. The two sides continued fighting against each other.
As the Nine Underworlds Devils attacked, they intentionally focused on Ling Qing, Yan Di, and Long Xingquan to relieve Gao Qingxuan and Daoist Cloud Conquest of such attacks.
They were paying attention to the two’s current state.
As long as the two’s hearts wavered and their performance weakened, the Great Devils wouldn’t mind infiltrating through the weakened areas.
As for the blood-red star-looking Devil Monarch, while he was paying attention to the five people within the Taiyi Imperial Breaking Formation, he was also observing Yan Zhaoge.
If Gao Qingxuan and Daoist Cloud Conquest pulled out of the battle, the remaining three wouldn’t be able to maintain the Taiyi Imperial Breaking Formation.
However, Yan Zhaoge’s name was well-renowned. Despite possessing low cultivation, if he could compensate in time, he could very possibly maintain the Taiyi Imperial Breaking Formation along with Yan Di, Long Xingquan, and Ling Qing.
When that time comes, even if he were a True Immortal, as long as he had the formation’s assistance, the group of Devils wouldn’t dare underestimate him either.
“If the two Prime Clear sword cultivators planned on retreating, we have to take action instantly and tear the formation apart. Don’t give Yan Zhaoge a chance to repair it.” The Devils group quickly sent a voice transmission to one another.
However, at that very moment, Yan Zhaoge suddenly moved.
“As you said, the Vine Sovereign’s fate is up for us to decide.” Yan Zhaoge raised his head and stared at the enormous blood-red star hanging by the dark void, “Moreover, your words hold no accountability at all.”
As his hand seals secretly changed, he had already completed his preparations.
Just as Yan Zhaoge spoke, an abrupt transformation occurred by the Domain of Thousand Scales below him!
The streams of lights, which resembled a myriad of fishes leaping out of the water, suddenly stopped for a moment.
The streams of lights weren’t leaping anymore, as if the river had turned into frigid ice.
The far-reaching radiance river seemed to have transformed into an ice river, with lights refracted by the ice’s surface.
Every stream of lights had solidified into a diamond-shape mirror.
Then, streams of radiance shot out from the center of the mirror. They traversed through the Taiyi Imperial Breaking Formation and instantly shone upon the blood-red star!
As if everything were returning together as one, a myriad of light streams gathered by one spot – the blood-red star.
As the blood-red Great Devil was startled, the streams of lights were already gathered upon him.
The Devil Monarch knew that Yan Zhaoge’s aim was the Vine Sovereign. He immediately attempted to make his move.
However, the mirror lights were gathered by Li Ying’s current location. The myriad of refracted lights passed through the Great Devil’s body, which froze the surrounding blood-red starlight around her.
The Devil Monarch even felt that his Devilish Essence had become stagnant, causing his body to become numb.
“The Domain of Thousand Scales counters our Devils. Yet, even without stepping inside, Yan Zhaoge had directed the domain’s power outside?!” The unexpected turns of events made the Great Devil desire to retreat.
Other Great Devils rushed towards him in an attempt to cut off the myriad converging mirror lights.
However, Yan Zhaoge extended one of his hands forward and drew the other backward. With the posture of an archer, he aimed his shot towards the blood-red star.
“I’ve prepared this method in case the Female Emperor – Jie Mingkong fell into your hands. While the hostage wasn’t who I expected to be, I do hope that it’s useful.”
Yan Zhaoge let out a soft yell, causing another transformation by the Domain of Thousand Scales.
As the radiance flashed, the myriad of mirrors that froze returned to activity, transforming into leaping scale-lights.
The myriad of light beams which converged by the blood-red star turned into roving streams of lights, which then penetrated the insides of the blood-red star!
Thousand Scales Mirror, Star Shooting Bow!
As if they were arrows, the streams of lights penetrated through the Devil Monarch’s body, rendering him unable to move. At the same time, it forcefully tore apart the devilish domain, causing a massive black hole to be ripped open.
Under the guidance of the streams of lights, the blood-red star flew backward and disappeared by the black hole.
The black hole quickly repatched together, preventing other Devils from chasing after him.
The Grand Heavenly level Devil attempted to interfere. However, this time, it was Feng Yunsheng’s turn to block his path. In the end, he could only watch the disappearance of the blood-red star.
“What’s the point of this? The Prime Clear Sword Cultivator is still in my hands…” The Devil Monarch felt light-headed from Yan Zhaoge’s attack. After a while, he finally managed to stabilize himself within the void.
He was currently in another universe, far away from the Domain of Thousand Scales.
The Devil Monarch, with the appearance of a blood-red star, attempted to relieve the numbness of his body. Suddenly, he felt a jolt in his heart.
Several auras suddenly surged around him, as if they had already been waiting in ambush for a long time.
History's Strongest Senior Brother Chapter 1428 - Unexpected Changes
Upon receiving the Star Shooting Bow’s attack, the blood-red star-looking Devil Monarch was forcefully transported away from the battlefield.
After he finally managed to stabilize himself, he found himself in a distant universe, remotely distant from the Domain of Thousand Scales.
The oppressive power imbued within the Domain of Thousand Scales against the Evil Devils were fully presented.
Even with the devilish domain created by a Grand Heavenly Level Devil Lord used to seal off the surrounding void, the Star Shooting Bow still managed to tear it apart, sending the Blood Star Devil Monarch away.
The tear recovered instantly, which prevented other Great Devils from chasing after it.
Such actions required utilizing all the Domain of Thousand Scales’ strength, which would undoubtedly cause it to enter a fatigued state.
As a result, the domain’s powers couldn’t be used again within a short amount of time.
This was why Yan Zhaoge had always been remaining silent and only observed the situation.
Chu Lili had previously been captured by the Nine underworlds, while Jie Mingkong was initially searching for her. Hence, Yan Zhaoge had prepared for the worst possible outcome and made preventive measurements just in case the Nine Underworlds had also captured Jie Mingkong.
The Star Shooting Bow was prepared to save her.
Yet, to his surprise, while his enemies di
d hold hostage, it wasn’t the Female Emperor – Jie Mingkong. Instead, it was the Vine Sovereign – Li Ying.
While this wasn’t what he expected, his decision to save someone wouldn’t change.
Upon being attacked by the Star Shooting Bow, not only was the Blood Star Devil Monarch transported to another part of the void, the counteractive powers of the Domain of Thousand Scales heavily wounded the Great Devil.
Under the influence of his wounds, the Blood Star Devil Monarch felt his Devilish Essence stagnant, and his entire body had turned numb.
Without mentioning hurting the entrapped Vine Sovereign, he could barely even continue his oppression towards the Four Qis Profound Immortal.
The blood-red radiances dissipated like mists and couldn’t converge back together for the time being.
At the same time, other Immortal Realm experts’ auras appeared in the void.
As their auras surged, several sword-lights lit up the dark void,
The Blood Star Devil Monarch’s heart sunk.
Yan Zhaoge couldn’t have sent him here without reason.
If there weren’t any follow-up methods, the Vine Sovereign would still be trapped by the hands of the Nine Underworlds. While it might delay his actions for a while, it was all for naught,
While the Star Shooting Bow had heavily wounded the Great Devil, transporting him here was to prevent other Great Devils’ interference, which would conveniently allow others to rescue the Vine Sovereign.
The location of transportation was fixed.
The Three Clear Lineage’s side had specifically ordered some people to lay in ambush here to rescue the hostage.
The sword-lights retracted a little, presenting three figures within the void. With one in the lead and two following behind, they walked towards the Blood Star Devil Monarch.
The man in the lead was a middle-aged man. Equipped with a tall hat and an ancient clothing, his serious expression resembled the Heaven Opening Sword. While his power wasn’t being displayed, he still looked loftily lonesome, as if he was alone by the mountain peak.
It was the Sword Sovereign – Yue Zhenbei.
Following after him were two person. The teenager in black was his disciple – Nie Jingshen, while the woman in green was the Roving Jade Heaven’s Prime Clear successor – Yu Ye.
They were here as a safety measure.
If their opponents had a hostage, Yan Zhaoge would send the opponent here and allow Yue Zhenbei and the others to rescue the hostage.
If they had no hostage, and the Domain of Thousand Scales’ battle became too intense, they would have a chance to traverse through the fabrics of space. With the reversed effects of the Star Shooting Bow and the power of the Domain of Thousand Scales, they would be transported to the battlefield.
Now that the Blood Star Devil Monarch was transported here, Yue Zhenbei and the others immediately started their actions.
Upon realizing that the hostage wasn’t the Female Emperor – Jie Mingkong, but the Vine Sovereign – Li Ying, the three were a little surprised.
Yu Ye was shocked. To her, the Vine Sovereign wasn’t just her grandmother’s master.
Throughout the process of her growth, she had received the teachings of the Vine Sovereign. The Vine Sovereign was a senior who she held deep bonds with.
At this very moment, the green-robed woman who was usually daydreaming became unprecedentedly focused, and her gaze became sharp as her sword.
After his initial surprise, the Sword Sovereign – Yue Zhenbei, quickly regained his calm and became resolute.
Without any hesitation, he dashed towards the blood-red star.
“Yue! Zhen! Bei!” Upon seeing who was closing in, the Vine Sovereign’s expression changed drastically, “Scram! I don’t need you to save me!”
Yue Zhenbei’s expression remained unchanged, and his sword came landing downwards, “After dealing with the Nine Underworlds, only will we talk about our grudges.”
Wherever the sword-lights passed, layers of blood radiances were blown away.
After being wounded by the Domain of Thousand Scales’ power, the Blood Star Devil Monarch couldn’t recover the mightiness of a Grand Virtual Five Qis Unification.
Yue Zhenbei, who had already ascended to the Profound Immortal Peak Realm, swung his sword-light around, which rendered the Blood Star Devil Monarch’s body numb. With how stagnant his Devilish Aura was, the Blood Star Devil Monarch could barely even withstand Yue Zhenbei’s attack and was forced into retreat.
“I’ve no more dignity to meet Qinglian anymore if Yan Xintang’s successor assists me.” The Vine Sovereign yelled, “Yue Zhenbei, if you want to save me, then I won’t have the dignity to meet Qinglian in the afterlife anymore!”
Green brilliance sparkled within her eyes, and green radiances surfaced from her skin.
While the Blood Star Devil Monarch was still suppressing her, the Vine Sovereign forcefully operated her Immortal Exterminating Sword’s sword intent and utilized it to the maximum.
The chain-like blood-lights entrapping her body started crumbling.
Only, after the green radiance flickered on her face, she instantly turned pale, as she had wounded herself as well.
Even so, she never thought of stopping. She continued to force her strength in an attempt to break free before Yue Zhenbei managed to reach her.
“Grandmother!” Yu Ye yelled. Without any hesitation, she immediately unsheathed her sword.
As she unsheathed, boundless radiances came bursting out from the sword.
Initially, she planned to Sheathe Edge and Nurture Sword. Now, she couldn’t be bothered anymore and instantly unsheathed.
Being in the Exalt Realm, she couldn’t even harm the heavily wounded Blood Star Devil Monarch.
While she trusted Yue Zhenbei and Nie Jingshen, the Vine Sovereign hated the two.
If a Prime Clear disciple were to free her, the Vine Sovereign would naturally not remain reluctant.
Without suppressing her strength any longer, Yu Ye’s sword qi skyrocketed, with a prideful roar resounding throughout the entire universe. She instantly challenged the Immortal Mortal Tribulation and pushed open the Immortal Door.
Yue Zhenbei and Nie Jingshen frowned while looking at the Vine Sovereign. The two shook their head, but their intention to assist her had never stopped. They then continued dashing forward with their swords.
The Blood Star Devil Monarch who was in a dire state, suddenly burst with laughter, “You want me to die?”
Amidst his hideous laughter, ethereal voices could be heard from within.
“Devil Emperor Heart, I beseech thee!”
The blood-red radiance enshrouding the Great Devil’s body quickly transformed into colorful brilliance.
The Heart Devil and the Shadow Devil were being held back by the Three Clear Lineage’s Heavenly Lord experts. As such, they had no way of descending here personally.
However, with how queer and unpredictable the Heart Devil’s strength was, the Blood Star Devil Monarch’s entire body was relieved of the numbness upon reciting the incantation.
The injuries inflicted by the Star Shooting Bow had yet to recover. The Great Devil was currently still in a weakened state, with no ways of displaying a Grand Virtual’s mightiness.
However, at that moment, he seemed to have turned fanatical. The colorful streaks of lights enshrouding him quickly gathered towards the center and started compressing!
History's Strongest Senior Brother Chapter 1429 - The Vine Sovereign's Decision
The Evil Devils would mostly showcase two types of personality. They were either fanatically rampageous or sinisterly schemeful.
No matter how the Blood Star Devil Monarch usually acted, he was currently presenting the Nine Underworlds Evil Devils’ rampageous side.
The Vine Sovereign attempted to break out of his grasp from within.
Yue Zhenbei, Nie Jingshen, and Yu Ye attacked from the outside.
After the Great Devil regained control o
ver his body through external power assistance, he immediately attempted to kill the Vine Sovereign.
Yue Zhenbei’s sword-light split apart, instantly forming a myriad of sword-lights. All-encompassing iridescent brilliance came shooting towards the star.
After the sword-lights pierced through his enemy’s body, the transformation in strength happening within the Blood Star Devil Monarch came to a halt.
Nie Jingshen and Yu Ye advanced together. With their swords pointed towards the center of the star, they attempted to save the Vine Sovereign by cooperating with her.
The Great Devil let out a shocking roar. After his rampage, his emotions slowly turned calm.
Only, his calm was so chilly; it made one shudder.
“Let’s perish together!” Amidst his uneasy tone, the iridescent streams of lights surrounding the stars exploded outwards and started shooting everywhere!
As if they were arrows, countless streams of lights shot towards everyone else.
At that very moment, the Great Devil who was wounded by the Domain of Thousand Scales’ power seemed to have regained his dignity as a Grand Virtual level Devil Monarch.
In fact, the sonorous voice of the great dao resounded beside everyone’s ears.
Yue Zhenbei took in a deep breath. The myriad of sword-lights was converged back to his own body.
Then, he slashed his sword forward.
Yue Zhenbei’s figure became ethereal with this slash as if his ubiquitous self existed in all sorts of spaces.
Yue Zhenbei, who wasn’t proficient in the Prime Clear Immortal Trapping Sword, could split open the heavens and earth and change creation itself with his Jade Illusory Heaven Opening Sword. It could even contest against a Prime Clear Profound Immortal and achieve the highest perception obtainable through the Immortal Trapping Sword.
The dense iridescences were all blocked by the ubiquitous Yue Zhenbei, preventing them from harming anyone.
