Lian Zulin stared fixedly at Yan Di.
Everyone else directed their gazes towards that sabre-wielding figure as well.
Even Lang Qing, Zhuang Shen and the other Exalts who were currently battling had diverted some of their attention to this battlefield.
Yan Zhaoge's battles at Vast Spirit Mountain and Circumference Mountain that year had shocked the entire world.
If one were to say that Yan Zhaoge's strength had been hard to accurately gauge due to the special factor of the Nine Bends Yellow River Formation in the battle at Circumference Mountain, Yan Zhaoge had forcibly repelled Zhang Shuren and Yuan Xiancheng as a Seeing Divinity Martial Saint, even beating Yuan Xiancheng to the point of undergoing nirvanic rebirth more than once.
Daoist East Spring and Zhao Zhen of the eighth level of the Martial Saint realm had even been slain by Yan Zhaoge on the spot.
Such battle accomplishments shocked the world.
Having already possessed such strength at the Seeing Divinity stage, what would happen now that he had ascended the Immortal Bridge stage?
Everyone had a general understanding of Yan Zhaoge's strength.
Now, however, Yan Di's strength similarly left everyone sighing in admiration.
"His sabre-intent is very strange. It's a little like … a little like …" Lang Qing seemed to have caught onto something as he gazed at Yan Di, but it was gone in a flash, "And that auspicious cloud above his head. That is …"
Lian Zulin seemed to have thought of something as well. Still, her brows were tightly knit as she felt like she was looking at flowers through a fog.
It was just that whatever she was thinking, the Heavenly Dragon Sabre in Yan Di's hand shook as he strode forward to attack once more!
This time, Lian Zulin was extremely careful.
At this moment, she had completely placed Yan Di on the same level as her, completely treating him as a Human Exalt.
It was as if the person she was battling was not a mid Immortal Bridge Martial Saint but someone on the same level as Cao Jie or Liu Zhenggu.
She had not recognised the sharpness of Yan Di's sabre arts earlier, even less having thought of the existence of the Grand Simplicity Splendour Cloud. She had wanted to rely on the ferocity of her Bright Red Yin Yang Change to end the battle quickly, taking care of Yan Di within a short period of time.
In the end, it had instead been her who had nearly been defeated in just a few moves.
Having learnt her lesson now, Lian Zulin fought steadily, countering each move as it came.
As a Human Exalt who had been renowned for many years, she did not just possess a single high-grade Sacred Artifact, Yan Di.
While it was inferior to existences like the Extreme Yang Seal and the Extreme Yin Crown, it was still virtually comparable to the Evil Sword Taotie, even surpassing weapons like the Cloud Circulating Heavenly Light Sword, the Purple Sea Sword and the Golden Crow Incinerating Heaven Sabre.
In the hands of Human Exalts, high-grade Sacred Artifacts were even more powerful.
With the support of the weapon, Lian Zulin's attacks were even more ferocious.
The Grand Simplicity Splendour Cloud above Yan Di's head completely disregarded his own defenses as he unleashed his full power attacks towards Lian Zulin.
Both sides exchanged offense with offense, and the battle was earth-shattering.
Having integrated a portion of the concepts of the Yin Yang Heavenly Scripture, the Life Creation Heavenly Scripture and the Cyclic Heavenly Scripture into his sabre-intents, Yan Di who usually also studied them, his true essence was robust and his qi returning speed was similarly far superior to that of ordinary Immortal Bridge Martial Saints.
That was why he was able to support his peerlessly powerful saber technique.
However, his opponent was Lian Zulin who was a Human Immortal. Yan Di's exhaustion was far greater than when he fought with other enemies.
As time passed, his stamina would gradually decline.
However, what caused Lian Zulin to feel more and more shocked was that while his true essence and stamina were greatly depleted, Yan Di's sabre was circulating more and more freely as it was domineering and sharp.
He seemed to be gradually adapting to the strength of a Supreme Martial Saint.
It was as if the layer of stone covering the surface of a beautiful jade was peeling off bit by bit, and the brilliance within was becoming more and more dazzling!
Over there, Yan Di and Lian Zulin were engaged in a heated battle.
At the same time, Yan Zhaoge met the Southern Exalt Zhuang Shen!
After Liu Zhenggu had been obstructed by Lian Zulin earlier, Zhuang Shen no longer had any reservations as he viciously attacked Yan Zhaoge.
Meeting enemies, their eyes blazed with fury. Words were already unnecessary at this moment.
The massive fiery phoenix spread its wings, obscuring the heavens and obscuring the sun.
Infinite, endless rain of fire descended, enveloping the entire Spirit Inheritance Region. The place where it was most concentrated was unquestionably Broad Creed Mountain.
Everyone said that the Southern Exalt Zhuang Shen was weak in attack and strong in defence.
Still, that was only in comparison to Cao Jie and the others who were at the same cultivation level. If it were an opponent beneath the Human Exalt stage, it would still be filled with a destructive might that could destroy the heavens and extinguish the earth.
Yan Zhaoge's expression did not change as he rose up from the peak of Broad Creed Mountain, directly striking out with a palm.
While he struck upwards, beneath Yan Zhaoge's palm, the sky seemed to be reversing at this moment.
The might of the heavens collapsing assaulted the fiery phoenix. Beneath the majestic force of Heaven and Earth Reversal, it seemed as if it wanted to collapse the heavens and the earth here.
Space distorted as the fiery phoenix instantly emitted a mournful cry.
The scattered rain of fire between the heavens and the earth continued descending as it instead distorted into a clump before exploding and being extinguished.
After having ascended the Immortal Bridge, this Cyclic Heavenly Seal of Yan Zhaoge's truly possessed the divine might that could flip the heavens and overturn the earth.
"Arise!" Zhuang Shen snorted coldly, ripples of water, soil, white qi and purple light instantly enveloping that fiery phoenix.
Bolstered by the four Virtues, the fiery phoenix spread its wings and soared high into the air once more.
The thick earth of meritorious virtue replenished the heavens and extended the dao, preventing the phoenix's fire from being extinguished.
The water ripples of holy virtue were impervious to all arts as they helped the phoenix resist the heaven-shaking, earth-overturning changes.
The fortuitous purple light was impervious to killing tribulations as it protected the fiery phoenix from being crushed and slain amidst that distorted space.
The white qi of nether virtue was inexhaustible with life force. Not only was it imperishable, it also helped the fiery phoenix to find a way out of this perilous environment.
Even more eye-catching was that it was not just the four Virtues that enveloped the fiery phoenix. Even the rain of fire that it emitted as it flapped its wings was the same.
Bolstered by the four Virtues, those meteors of fire also resisted the palm force of Yan Zhaoge's Cyclic Heavenly Seal, becoming tough and sturdy as they continued descending towards Yan Zhaoge!
Seeing this from the side, the gaze of his old rival, the Southeastern Exalt Cao Jie, immediately hardened slightly, "He has improved quite a bit …"
The moment an expert made a move, one would be able to tell the difference between them.
Zhuang Shen's proficiency in the Phoenix True Form Scripture was clearly much greater than that of Yuan Xiancheng, Zhang Shuren and Peng He.
The four Virtues that possessed shocking defensive power were utilized in his attacks at this moment.
While his attacks might not be as brutal and violent as those of Cao Jie, Lian Zulin and Liu Zhenggu, they were still extremely powerful and filled with toughness as they were unceasing, seemingly without end as they were hard to defeat.
With just this move alone, Zhuang Shen had already caused everyone to look at him, virtually completely reversing the impression that he had previously left of being weak in offence and strong in defence.
Zhuang Shen was naturally aware of the special characteristics of his martial arts as he had also been unceasingly researching them, supplementing and improving them.
The results were right before his eyes!
"Good!" Looking at Zhuang Shen, Yan Zhaoge cheered lightly.
However, he had no intention of evading as he still raised his palm high.
At this moment, his aura surged even higher.
An illusory figure seemed to appear between the heavens and the earth.
Yan Zhaoge stood towering between the heavens and the earth, his palm that was raised high above his head seemed to have truly merged as one with the sky.
Lofty, simple, solemn, authoritative, domineering, vigorous.
Faced with Zhuang Shen's powerful attack, Yan Zhaoge had no intention of evading at all as he met it head-on, unleashing another Cyclic Heavenly Seal!
As his palm descended, the heavens collapsed as it smashed towards the fiery phoenix and Zhuang Shen!
This was a competition of who was stronger, who was mightier, who was more domineering!
