In the end, it was still Yan Di who broke the great sun with a single sabre!
The golden giant that Pan Botai had transformed into staggered backwards.
Severe wounds appeared on the giant's body. Runes and divine patterns shattered one after another, sprinkling down like blood. They turned into specks of flowing light and disappeared into the air.
The space between the brows of the golden giant once again revealed Pan Botai's true form.
Compared to before, his figure was stooped and much older, and his face was slightly pale.
The old man's throat bobbed up and down a few times. There was a sweet taste in his mouth as if he would spit out blood at any moment, but he forcefully suppressed it.
Pan Botai glared at Yan Di. With a muffled snort, he instead borrowed the momentum to retreat, directly calling for the Twilight Lord and the others to retreat!
For Yan Di to appear here, something must have happened to the ambush by the Great Sun Heaven Measuring Ruler.
Although he didn't know what exactly had happened, Pan Botai was certain that the Sacred Sun Clan's plan this time had already failed, with Broad Creed Mountain even more likely to turn the tables on them.
Clearly knowing that he was a target of the Sacred Sun Clan, having evaded the Great Sun Heaven Measuring Ruler, Yan Di had still dared to leisurely rush over to the Eastern Tang. This was enough to prove that he was extremely confident.
Under such circumstances, if he could obtain victory quickly, Pan Botai wouldn't mind slaying Yan Di on the spot, teaching Broad Creed Mountain a lesson.
Yan Di's reputation was extremely resounding, but as a veteran Martial Grandmaster expert of the same generation as Huang Guanglie and Yuan Zhengfeng, having stepped into the Transcending Mortality stage many years ago, Pan Botai naturally had his own confidence and pride.
Asking himself honestly, he really had no confidence in being able to take down Yan Di at the same cultivation level.
However, even though his cultivation base was clearly higher, he was still not Yan Di's match. This caused Pan Botai to feel a fiery pain on his face.
His grandson had been killed by Yan Zhaoge, while he himself had been thwarted by the sabre of a junior whose cultivation base was lower than his.
For a split second, Pan Botai felt as though the humiliation and fury in his heart was about to swallow him whole.
It had been too long since he had suffered such a setback, to the point that his mental state was actually somewhat unstable.
However, after taking a deep breath, Pan Botai swiftly calmed down.
Having been countered by Broad Creed Mountain, and now also unable to gain the upper hand, the wisest course of action for them was to retreat. Otherwise, what awaited the Sacred Sun Clan would definitely be even greater losses.
At this moment, Pan Botai temporarily set aside the hatred and fury he felt from Xiao Shen's death, choosing to first avoid the battle.
But his anger also turned into an even deeper and colder killing intent.
As he retreated, Pan Botai's gaze shifted between Yan Di, Shi Tie and Yan Zhaoge.
By Yan Zhaoge's side, Ah Hu felt his hair stand on end as he asked in a small voice, "Young Master, will he put down his pride and not care about anything else and just focus on attacking you?"
"It might not be impossible." Yan Zhaoge said, "It's just that he can only think about it."
"Twilight Lord is injured, and Eldest Martial Uncle is free. It's impossible for him to break through Father and Eldest Martial Uncle's joint attack."
"Even if Eldest Martial Uncle is tied down by Twilight Lord, Dad can protect me by himself. I just need to focus on defending."
Yan Zhaoge spread his hands apart, "Father is extremely domineering, his attacks shocking the heavens. However, that doesn't mean that he isn't proficient in defence. It's just that he doesn't have to do that most of the time."
"Besides, Pan Botai should worry about himself first."
Yan Zhaoge laughed, "Father, I'm not someone who likes to play the empty fort stratagem."
As he spoke, yet another voice resounded from the distant horizon, "Does your Sacred Sun Clan really think that you are invincible under the heavens? You've already reached a level where you are completely lawless, completely unbridled and unbridled. "
In the horizon, there seemed to be the sound of the tides of the great sea, causing one to have the misconception that they had arrived at the seaside.
However, as the sound neared, they realised that it was shockingly the breathing of a person.
A wild-looking, green-robed old man strode through the air, roiling waves of qi expanding into the surroundings, resembling the tides of the sea.
The faces of Pan Botai and the Twilight Lord instantly turned a little ugly.
The newcomer was shockingly a longtime Elder of the Water Domain's Sacred Ground, Jade Sea City, a Martial Grandmaster expert, the Sacred Ground of the Sacred Ground.
However, what they truly feared was not this wild-looking, green-robed old man.
Instead, it was that they understood why Yan Di had been able to break through the ambush of the Great Sun Heaven Measuring Ruler when Broad Creed Mountain's Sacred Artifact had yet to leave the mountain.
The Extreme Yin Crown!
The Extreme Yin Crown currently in the hands of Jade Sea City!
"The Extreme Yin Crown should have gone to the East Sea. If it had come over here, it shouldn't have done so quietly," The Twilight Lord said in a heavy tone.
As one of their archenemies, the Sacred Sun Clan was constantly paying attention to the movements of Jade Sea City.
Pan Botai's face was dark, "Just like how we concealed the appearance of the Great Sun Heaven Measuring Ruler, it was all because of the fruit of the Concealed Fog Tree!"
"That year, the Concealed Fog Tree bore a total of two fruits, one in our Sacred Sun Clan, the other in the hands of the Devil Saint. From the looks of it now, that fruit has actually fallen into the hands of Jade Sea City at some unknown time."
"We can talk about this later; the key is now."
The Extreme Yin Crown delayed the Great Sun Heaven Measuring Ruler, while Yan Di hurried over to the Eastern Tang.
The Great Sun Heaven Measuring Ruler having left the mountain, catching Broad Creed Mountain unprepared, rapidly killing Yan Di with the power of a Sacred Artifact.
If they were delayed by the Extreme Yin Crown, the situation would be disadvantageous to the Sacred Sun Clan.
Broad Creed Mountain similarly had a Sacred Artifact!
Without having to ask, it was obvious that after having achieved their initial goal of confusing them, the Sacred Artifact of Broad Creed Mountain who had been lying in wait all this time must have already left the mountain at this moment!
Also, it definitely wouldn't be coming to the Eastern Tang, but to where the Great Sun Heaven Measuring Ruler was!
Yan Zhaoge smacked his lips, "After the first Extreme Yin Bout, you grasped the Extreme Yin Crown and used it for your own personal gain, relying on the power of those two Sacred Artifacts to expand wantonly. You should have already predicted that this day would come. You've done the first thing, and the wheel of fortune has turned; don't blame others for doing the same thing."
"Heh, didn't you want to play something big?"
"You schemed against my father, our clan schemed against your Sacred Artifact; let's see whose mouth is bigger."
Now, the distant sky suddenly shook.
Boundless sunlight slowly rose from the horizon, and very quickly, a great sun filled the sky!
The sun that appeared this time was slightly smaller and dimmer than the sun manifested by Pan Botai's martial will.
However, this time, there were a total of eight great golden suns, revolving around it!
Ah Hu drew back the corners of his mouth, "… World Illuminating Lord."
While the newcomer's cultivation base was inferior to Pan Botai's, his aura was even stronger than that of the Twilight Lord at his peak.
As compared to the mysterious Twilight Lord, the pressure that this person brought with him was even more direct and intense.
The head of the current generation of the Seven Reigning Suns, the World Illuminating Lord.
He was the leading figure of the Sacred Sun Clan's senior generation, having previously competed with the current Chief Huang Xu for the position of Chief.
This time, the Sacred Grounds had joined hands to explore the Earth Domain and suppress the abnormalities, with the World Illuminating Lord of the Sacred Sun Clan heading there.
The eight great golden suns halted within the air, gradually converging towards the centre, congregating into a single mass.
Within the immeasurable light, a golden-robed middle-aged man walked out. He could also be considered handsome, just that his hooked nose was rather conspicuous.
This person's portrait had already long since spread throughout the Eight Extremities World. Everyone here naturally recognised him. He was precisely the head of this generation's Seven Reigning Suns, the World Illuminating Lord.
As soon as the World Illuminating Lord arrived, he said in a heavy tone, "Uncle Pan, the matter is already over; Broad Creed Mountain's Clear Qi Robe has emerged."
The Clear Qi Robe was precisely the Sacred Artifact that suppressed Broad Creed Mountain!
The World Illuminating Lord said, "The Chief has already retreated with the Great Sun Heaven Measuring Ruler, but Jade Sea City is entangling us endlessly with the Extreme Yin Crown. We have to get rid of them before the Clear Qi Robe arrives, or the consequences will be too horrible to contemplate."
"Senior apprentice-brother Huang has yet to emerge from seclusion?" Pan Botai once again felt stifled within his heart.
The World Illuminating Lord was silent for a moment, before he said, "They want to leave behind the Great Sun Heaven Measuring Ruler. If they can force senior apprentice-uncle Huang to emerge from seclusion prematurely, that would be an even greater gain."
"Those of Infinite Boundless Mountain were originally also causing a ruckus in the Eastern Tang, eyeing us covetously. But now, they have also suddenly quietened down, no longer competing with Broad Creed Mountain, looking as though they are making things easier for us."
"This time, it is we who have become the target of all."
The fury on Pan Botai's face instantly vanished, his expression turning grave.
