Yan Zhaoge exerted force with his fingers, the powerful force crushing Wang Zhengcheng's heart, shattering it along with his other organs.
The force travelled along his blood vessels, shattering all the blood vessels, meridians and bones of Wang Zhengcheng's entire body as well.
Wang Zhengcheng's body aged completely at this moment, becoming decayed.
Finally, he dissipated along with the wind like ash.
His Divine Soul was also annihilated along with it.
The oldest Martial Saint since the founding of the World beyond Worlds, the Earth Exalt Wang Zhengcheng, had been extinguished in body and soul on this day!
Yan Zhaoge retracted his palm, his fingers clean as not a single speck of blood could be seen on them.
Wang Zhengcheng's body vanished before him as if it had never existed in the first place.
The Yin Yang Earth Mountain River Diagram and the Origin Opening Sword that were entangled in battle shook simultaneously.
An unprecedentedly powerful aura erupted from the Yin Yang Earth Mountain River Diagram, jolting the Origin Opening Sword back before the diagram transformed into a streak of light, flying in the direction of Kunlun Mountain's Southern High Peak.
This treasure belonged to the Earthly Sovereign at the end of the day. After its current owner Wang Zhengcheng had died, the restrictions left behind by the Earthly Sovereign within had been activated, causing it to automatically return to Kunlun Mountain.
Yan Zhaoge ignored this as he simply kept the Origin Opening Sword before turning to look at the Encompassing Emperor.
This True Immortal was not as weak as the black-clothed Brocade Emperor who had been split apart.
At the same time, he was accompanied by an Immortal Artifact.
If not for the fact that he had already restrained Wang Zhengcheng and held his life in his hands, Wang Zhengcheng might have been able to escape if the Encompassing Emperor interfered.
Still, seeing that Wang Zhengcheng had been killed right before his very eyes, the Encompassing Emperor did not intend to act out of embarrassment or anger.
A stunned look appeared on his face as he wanted to assist Wang Zhengcheng. Yet, it was already too late.
The Encompassing Emperor looked at Yan Zhaoge with a complex expression on his face.
After a long time, he said slowly, "Fallen Deity, you were really too rash this time."
"Even if the Sword Sovereign is willing to offend the Earthly and Concealed Sovereigns for you and your father, he will not be able to bear that pressure!"
The Encompassing Emperor said in a low voice, "There are many rumours that the reason why His Majesty the Earthly Sovereign is the head of the Three Sovereigns is because His Majesty the Concealed Sovereign has always supported him. It is because His Majesty the Earthly Sovereign himself has the greatest seniority. However, those are not the most important reasons."
"The most important reason is that he truly possesses the greatest cultivation base amongst the three Sovereigns, being the current undisputed number one expert of the World beyond Worlds. Even the Concealed Sovereign who was one of the Kunlun Nine Luminaries that year is inferior to him!"
"Although your ancestor was also one of the Nine Luminaries back then, there were still differences between the Nine Luminaries. The relationship between the Concealed Sovereign and the Earthly Sovereign was far deeper than the relationship between the Earthly Sovereign and your ancestor." The Senluo Emperor sighed, "If there was a conflict between the two, the Concealed Sovereign would definitely choose to help the Earthly Sovereign."
"If you didn't kill the Earth Exalt, the Concealed Sovereign might still be able to mediate between the two and be impartial. However, the Earth Exalt has already died in your hands. If the Earth Exalt makes things difficult for you, the Concealed Sovereign will only support him."
The Encompassing Emperor looked helplessly at Yan Zhaoge, "This old man thought that you were aware of the situation. While you, Fallen Deity, have occasionally acted frivolously in your youth, this old man has been observing you all these years. Still, today, you really …"
"I do know the relationship." Yan Zhaoge said mildly, "I also know that the Earthly Sovereign and the Concealed Sovereign both possess Tranquil Immortal Artifacts."
The tranquility of Daoism and the tranquility of Buddhism were two different concepts in this world.
The tranquility here referred to the cultivation level of Daoist Immortals.
"Since you are aware of this, this old man is even less able to understand." The Encompassing Emperor sighed, "It is true that the Concealed Sovereign has yet to leave seclusion and the Earthly Sovereign is far away in a foreign dimension. Fellow Daoist Jie of Jade Sky Peak will not make things difficult for you, and this old man also does not intend to get involved too deeply. Father and son can do as they please in the World beyond Worlds for now."
"Still, the Earthly Sovereign will return at the end of the day and the Concealed Sovereign will leave seclusion one day. What do you intend to do then, Fallen Deity?"
"Go to the Roving Jade Heavens?"
The Encompassing Emperor looked at Yan Zhaoge with a complex gaze.
He naturally did not wish for outstanding talents of the younger generation like Yan Zhaoge and his father to be forced to leave the World beyond Worlds and head to the Roving Jade Heavens.
If Yan Zhaoge had become a descendant of the Dim Radiant Emperor due to the Dim Radiant Wheel aside, Yan Di would truly be a fool of fate.
"The Roving Jade Heavens?" Yan Zhaoge was noncommittal.
The Encompassing Emperor said slowly, "If your Broad Creed Mountain really intends to head to the Roving Jade Heavens, they will probably welcome you there. Still, while you can go, the Sword Sovereign cannot."
"Who knows how many descendants of the Prime Clear lineage died beneath the Origin Opening Sword that year. A proud disciple of that old Grand Master of the Roving Jade Heavens died beneath the Sword Sovereign's sword as well."
"Even if the Profound Sovereign and the Dragon Spring Emperor do not care about this, countless experts of the Prime Clear lineage, that old Grand Master included, have never been able to forget this."
The Encompassing Emperor shook his head, "While the Profound Sovereign is powerful, that old Grand Master was her Master at the end of the day. The deceased were also of her lineage."
"While the Roving Jade Heavens may accept your Broad Creed Mountain, it is definitely impossible for them to accept Jade Capital Crag. If you intend to join forces with Jade Capital Crag and the Roving Jade Heavens to attack the World beyond Worlds, it is likely that the Roving Jade Heavens will join forces with Qilin Cliff to make things difficult for Jade Capital Crag."
"Having slain the Earth Exalt, you can head to the Roving Jade Heavens. What will the Sword Sovereign do then?" The Encompassing Emperor sighed, "Fallen Deity, you have really been too rash this time."
Yan Zhaoge calmly listened to the Encompassing Emperor's words before smiling, "Thank you, Encompassing Emperor."
"This Yan will first go check on my mother's condition. Forgive me for taking my leave."
With that, he cupped his hands towards the Encompassing Emperor before turning and leaving with the Origin Opening Sword, heading east.
The Encompassing Emperor looked helplessly at Yan Zhaoge's departing figure, "Does he think that this old man is just bluffing and scaring him? It would be best if he kept this in mind. "
"After thousands of years of peace, I wonder how this great chaos will end."
After taking his leave of the Encompassing Emperor, Yan Zhaoge hurried back to the eastern Vast Heaven Territory.
Like Wang Zhengcheng and the black-clothed Brocade Emperor, Yan Zhaoge too could not know whether the Eastern Exalt Daoist Oneheaven had died to Yan Di's sabre. Had Yan Di arrived in time to save him, or had he been a step too late and could only helplessly kill him to avenge his wife?
Therefore, after taking care of the Earth Exalt Wang Zhengcheng, Yan Zhaoge could not be bothered with anything else as he hurried to the eastern Vast Heaven Territory.
He had naturally not ignored the Encompassing Emperor's words.
While he had not been certain of some details previously, Yan Zhaoge had already known what the consequences of killing Wang Zhengcheng would be.
Knowing the consequences did not mean that Yan Zhaoge would show mercy to Wang Zhengcheng.
He would not regret it even if he did.
Still, since he knew that there would be negative repercussions, Yan Zhaoge naturally had to think of a way to deal with the aftermath.
Whether or not the method would be effective was another matter. Just waiting for death to come was definitely not an option.
Today's battle was just the beginning.
"I hope that I did not see wrongly back then." Yan Zhaoge muttered to himself as he recalled looking at a map back at Kunlun Mountain, summarising the places where his mother Xue Chuqing had fled and stopped all these years and drawing lines that might form a pattern.
