Yan Zhaoge executed a Slaying Azure Dragon that was ferocious to the extreme, the sword-glow of the Origin Opening Sword skyrocketing, transforming into a mournful bloodred glow which hacked straight towards the black-clothed Brocade Emperor.
The black-clothed Brocade Emperor did not even look back as he fled amidst space.
But with a muffled groan, dark red blood could still be seen spurting out from the dark universe.
The splattered blood was shining with a faint golden light.
The blood droplets exploded in the void, turning into blood-colored Taiji diagrams that did not dissipate for a long time.
A Perfected Immortal Great Emperor had been severely injured!
Yet, the black-clothed Brocade Emperor did not resist, nor did he stop as he instead accelerated forward, instantly vanishing amidst pitch black space.
Yan Zhaoge who had caused a True Immortal to bleed had a calm expression on his face as he gazed towards the other side.
There, seeing that the Origin Opening Sword had ultimately fallen into Yan Zhaoge's hands, the Earth Exalt Wang Zhengcheng sighed helplessly.
Just like the black-clothed Brocade Emperor, Wang Zhengcheng no longer put up any effort as he swept along the Yin Yang Earth Mountain River Diagram and fled towards the distant World beyond Worlds.
Now that things had come to this, he had no other choice.
There was no point in staying any longer.
After forcing the black-clothed Brocade Emperor away with a sword, Yan Zhaoge did not pursue him as he instead pursued the Earth Exalt, Wang Zhengcheng!
One fleeing, one pursuing, the two rapidly broke through the power of dimensions, returning to the World beyond Worlds.
The Misty Tea Mountain area of the Eastern Vast Heaven Territory reappeared in front of them.
The scenery was still the same, but the mood of the people involved was completely different.
Wang Zhengcheng did not dare to tarry in the slightest. He passed through the border between the central Jun Heaven Territory and the eastern Vast Heaven Territory, rushing towards Kunlun Mountain as fast as he could.
The Qilin Cliff lineage's martial arts inheritance specialized in being forceful and heavy. They had no advantage in terms of speed.
However, at this moment, Wang Zhengcheng unfurled the Yin Yang Earth Mountain River Diagram, sinking his entire body into the ground and using the Earth Movement Art. Borrowing the power of the Earth Escape, his speed was extremely fast, far surpassing that of ordinary martial artists.
Sadly, while he was fast, Yan Zhaoge was even faster!
Experiencing consecutive peak battles and having just unleashed An Instant's Thunder, Yan Zhaoge vaguely felt his strength being depleted at this moment.
However, with the help of the Origin Opening Sword, his figure was still extremely fast. In the blink of an eye, he successfully caught up to Wang Zhengcheng!
Yan Zhaoge gazed at the Emperor before him and suddenly yelled.
The majestic sword light slashed through the air and landed on the ground, creating a huge rift in the ground. The rift stretched across the horizon, and one couldn't see the end of it.
The sword light was like a barrier, landing right in front of Wang Zhengcheng who was using the Ground Travel Technique, blocking his path.
Yan Zhaoge raised his palm and slammed downwards, causing the great earth to collapse as the fertile soil of the mountains and rivers all shattered.
Wang Zhengcheng had no choice but to stop. He rushed out of the soil and returned to the surface.
Looking at the vast Kunlun Mountain range that had already appeared in his field of vision, but it seemed to be so close yet so far away, Wang Zhengcheng was silent.
"Earth Supreme, Old Mister Wang, Wang Zhengcheng." Sword in one hand, the other behind his back, Yan Zhaoge stood before Wang Zhengcheng, "Not having stained your hands with blood, do you think that the matter of killing someone has nothing to do with you?"
"Daoist Oneheaven has been executed, but this matter isn't over. It's like that for our family of three, and I believe it's the same for you."
Yan Zhaoge looked coldly at Wang Zhengcheng, "Even if my mother was fortunate enough to escape this tribulation today, and you managed to keep your life, I'm afraid that you still wouldn't let the matter rest, right?"
"That's right." Wang Zhengcheng was silent for a long time before he finally said candidly, "This matter does not concern this old man personally. I really cannot ignore it."
"I admire your honesty and stubbornness. Still, it is precisely because of this that the two of us are irreconcilable." Yan Zhaoge said mildly, "Unless the Concealed Sovereign emerges from seclusion or the Earthly Sovereign returns, you are dead for sure today."
His calm words contained a resolute killing intent that was not concealed in the slightest.
Wang Zhengcheng's expression was calm, "It was not this old man's wish to offend you and your father. Still, fate makes fools of people. Knowing how difficult it is, this old man cannot back down."
Looking at Yan Zhaoge, appraising him once more, he sighed emotionally, "So young!"
"So young, so brimming with talent. So long as you do not die prematurely, you will definitely become the new pillar of our Daoism. It is truly a blessing for our Daoism to have you and your father appear. Yet, it just so happened that it was ruined at the hands of Dim Radiant Yin and Bright Connection Hu. What a pity, what a pity!"
Wang Zhengcheng slowly shook his head, "While you met with a calamity because of the Immeasurable Heavenly Lord, your future was ruined. Your father has also stably displayed outstanding flair. If you are given time, your futures will be limitless. "
"I have troubled you, Earth Exalt." Yan Zhaoge said indifferently, "For the World beyond Worlds to be able to attain its current state all these years, it must have been thanks to your efforts. You, Earth Exalt, have always been watching over the World beyond Worlds. You have also worked hard."
"It is just that with regards to the Immortal Court, other matters aside, whether it is my father or I, as the people involved, cannot possibly compromise and tolerate the matter of my mother."
Wang Zhengcheng's gaze was distant, "Compromise and tolerate … in this world, there are some things that we must persevere on. Yet, there are also some things that we can only tolerate."
"This old man does not dare to claim any credit for the World beyond Worlds being able to achieve its current state. That is the result of the countless efforts of my Master and the countless sacrifices of many seniors in exchange for its current stable situation."
"Amongst them is also your ancestor, the Exalted Gold Luminary!"
Looking at Yan Zhaoge, Wang Zhengcheng finally felt a little agitated as he said rather painfully, "It is only through the sacrifice of countless seniors, your ancestor included, that the World beyond Worlds of today has been able to achieve the current state of Daoism, that the future and hope of our generation exists!"
"And now, all of this may be ruined by Yin Dim Radiant and Bright Connection Hu!"
"A great mistake has already been made. If we do not think of mending the pen after the sheep is lost and make up for it, when it is truly irreversible, it will all be too late for regrets!" Wang Zhengcheng said in a heavy tone.
Yan Zhaoge's expression was calm, "I originally thought that it was precisely because we had experienced those dark, dangerous times that the older generation understood the principle of being prepared for danger in times of peace. Instead, it was us of the younger generation who were born in relatively peaceful times who were more prone to making the mistake of forgetting to fight and being doomed to die."
"No, the mistake you are more prone to make is youthful arrogance, biting off more than you can chew, being impetuous and blindly optimistic." Wang Zhengcheng sighed, "While you have been to the Immortal Court, you probably still do not know how many bigwigs and experts there are in the Immortal Court, how deep and terrifying their power is."
"You do not even know how heaven-piercing the cultivation base of the Immeasurable Heavenly Lord is. What sort of existence do you think he must have been able to stand against the Future Buddha?"
Looking at Yan Zhaoge, Wang Zhengcheng said in a heavy tone, "We of the Three Clear lineage will never submit to the external dao or the false dao! Still, if we want to set things right, we cannot just rely on our hot-bloodedness. We need time, we need accumulation, we need fortuitous encounters. "
Looking at Wang Zhengcheng, Yan Zhaoge suddenly smiled, just that his smile was rather cold.
"Very well said, Earth Exalt. I almost forgot that it was you who sent Daoist Oneheaven to find trouble with my mother." The smile on Yan Zhaoge's face vanished, "Others aside, if Daoist Oneheaven succeeds, my mother will die for sure."
"If it is to contend with the Immortal Court and quell their rage, the focus would be on that fragment of the legendary Heavenly Essence Stone and not my mother's life."
Yan Zhaoge stared coldly at Wang Zhengcheng, "Only by leaving behind the Heavenly Essence Stone fragment and still having to account to the Immortal Court would my mother have to pay with her life. No, it should be said that the lineages of the Dim Radiant Emperor and the Bright Connection Emperor must be severed."
