With Yan Zhaoge's performance during the fight for the Wuji Apricot Yellow Flag, the Shadow Devil wasn't worried that the Great Sage Equalling Heavens would appear.
The Shadow Devil felt that he had already placed himself very low, already placing Yan Zhaoge as highly as he could.
He had already made up his mind to transform into Yan Zhaoge's appearance using Illusory Manifestation, then fight a battle of attrition with Yan Zhaoge with a strength that was close to similar.
What was being exhausted was not endurance, but who was more durable!
While replicating Yan Zhaoge of the Grand Virtual level would cause many of his attributes to be lowered to the Grand Virtual level, he still had the foundation of the Grand Heavenly Undying Embodiment Body.
If he were to trade blows for blows, no Grand Virtual Immortal would be able to fight him to the end.
Yan Zhaoge's strength was astonishing, and his defenses were so strong that even many Grand Heavenly Realm experts couldn't hurt him.
But what about his own attacks?
The Shadow Devil was thinking of using his spear to attack his shield, making use of this to frustrate Yan Zhaoge.
He did not even have any hopes of killing Yan Zhaoge by himself as he only hoped to end the battle within the shortest amount of time possible, wresting away the Green Lotus Flag in Yan Zhaoge's possession that had been contaminated by the seawater of the deep abyss of the Nine Underworlds.
If he could gain more, it would be a pleasant surprise.
Taking ten thousand steps back, even if he didn't succeed, Shadow Fiend would still be able to escape unscathed.
No matter how shocking Yan Zhaoge's strength was and how he could defeat a veteran Devil Lord like him, one of the first few Ancient Devils in the world, could he defeat another him so easily?
However, after exchanging blows, Shadow Fiend realized that he was ridiculously wrong.
At this moment, seeing Yan Zhaoge's figure, seeing that scene of the Primordial Earlier Heaven Three Scriptures and the Later Heaven Six Scriptures vaguely combining as one, the Shadow Devil's body that resembled a dim shadow involuntarily shook slightly.
His gaze was fixated on the top of Yan Zhaoge's head.
In that place, there seemed to be an indescribable auspicious cloud existing, hazy and chaotic.
It was similar to Yan Di's Grand Simplicity Splendour Cloud, yet different as well.
This primal chaos auspicious cloud was faintly discernible. One moment, it became concrete, the next moment, it became blurry, and the next moment, it disappeared.
The Shadow Demon didn't really care when the outline of the magic cloud was clear and concrete, or when it disappeared completely.
However, when this auspicious cloud was hazy and blurry, seemingly illusory yet real, seemingly boundless, yet also seemingly collapsing into an indescribable point, Shadow Devil's gaze immediately became sharp.
"It's not complete yet. It's only in its embryonic form. However …" The Shadow Devil took a deep breath and retreated to avoid coming into contact with Yan Zhaoge. As one of the Twelve Devilish Gods, he was being forced to flee by a Grand Virtual Immortal.
"But there's already the shadow of the Everlasting Jade Purity!" The Shadow Demon's face turned ugly, "Gathering the Nine Scriptures and cultivating the Three Pure Ones at the same time. Could it be that I can return to Wuji and see the beginning?"
It was common knowledge that even though the last nine volumes of the Primordial Heavenly Scripture had been gathered, it was impossible to obtain the first volume of the Primordial Heavenly Scripture, the Peerless Heavenly Scripture.
However, the other nine scrolls all originated from the Peerless Heavenly Scripture.
Before Yan Zhaoge, there had never been anyone who could cultivate the Three Purities to such a high level.
The Three Purities were one, and they were interconnected. Although they were already categorized, Yan Zhaoge, who cultivated the Three Purities at the same time, might be the person who had the deepest understanding of the relationship between the Three Purities' supreme martial arts other than the Elder Lord.
Although he didn't cultivate the Chaos Extinguishing Origin Scripture, he had read through its contents and was proficient in the Grand Clear Taiyi Fist.
As such, in recent years, many people had been guessing whether Yan Zhaoge, who cultivated the Three Purities and pushed open the Immortal Door, had hopes of using the last nine scrolls to reverse engineer the Peerless Heavenly Scripture of the Ten Scriptures.
"He … really succeeded?" Seeing the vague primal chaos auspicious cloud above Yan Zhaoge's head, the Shadow Devil's heart was filled with doubts. At the same time, he felt shocked, "Did he possess the complete Peerless Heavenly Scripture and kept it a secret? Or did he really succeed in deriving the incomplete Peerless Heavenly Scripture?"
"If he was given some more time, would he be able to derive the complete Peerless Heavenly Scripture?"
Just now, when he performed Shadow Becoming Reality to copy Yan Zhaoge, he had already noticed the abnormality.
When copying others, such as Nezha and the others, after the Shadow Devil had succeeded, he would be able to execute their supreme martial arts immediately.
However, when he copied Yan Zhaoge's appearance, although he had succeeded, he had to wait for Yan Zhaoge to make a move before he could replicate it.
It was almost equivalent to learning a move after seeing a move.
If Yan Zhaoge didn't make a move, the situation might even become the two of them staring at each other.
At that time, the Shadow Devil had thought that Yan Zhaoge's simultaneous cultivation of the Three Purities had affected his Shadow Becoming Reality to a certain extent.
However, from the looks of it now, this might be part of the reason, but it was far from being the only reason.
Another important reason was that Yan Zhaoge seemed to have gradually reversed engineer a portion of the profundities of the Peerless Heavenly Scripture, just that it was still incomplete.
Therefore, he couldn't be like Suo Mingzhang's Heaven Severing Scripture and stop the Shadow Devil's Shadow Becoming Reality from the start.
Shadow Becoming Reality could still be used to a certain extent, but it wouldn't be as powerful as it looked.
The moment the real and the fake came into contact with each other, the fake would be completely beaten back to its original form.
To the Shadow Devil, he might as well have failed the replication right from the start like how he had faced Suo Mingzhang. At least that way, he wouldn't look like he had a card up his sleeves, but he wouldn't stupidly send himself to suffer Yan Zhaoge's attack!
Previously, the Shadow Devil who had lowered himself to the Grand Illusionary Realm in order to replicate Yan Zhaoge had suffered Yan Zhaoge's palm. Even now, he could still feel the pain in his heart.
If not for his foundation being that of the Grand Overarching Devil Lord, he might have been beaten to death by Yan Zhaoge on the spot.
One wrong step led to many wrong steps. Currently, the Shadow Devil was at a disadvantage and was completely suppressed by Yan Zhaoge. If he wanted to rely on his cultivation to suppress Yan Zhaoge, it would be extremely difficult for him to contend against Yan Zhaoge.
Meanwhile, Yan Zhaoge was getting more and more relaxed as he fought. He controlled the chaotic auspicious clouds above his head, which were bright and dim at times, appearing and disappearing at times. At the same time, he continuously stepped and slashed the universe with his palms, chasing after the Shadow Devil and fiercely attacking him.
As the Heavenly Ascension Drum resounded through the heavens, he also wielded the Chaotic Origin Hammer with his other hand and smashed it towards the Shadow Devil's face with a sneer.
The Shadow Devil sighed helplessly and could only turn around and flee.
Just like when he was facing Suo Mingzhang, he no longer had any thoughts of escaping. If he were to continue fighting, he might really die under Yan Zhaoge's hands.
The previously chaotic space gradually showed signs of calming down.
When space returned to normal, a Grand Heavenly Realm expert like the Shadow Devil would naturally be able to teleport through space much more efficiently than a Grand Virtual Immortal.
However, Yan Zhaoge chased after the Shadow Devil. With the help of the Heavenly Ascension Drum and the Chaotic Origin Hammer, the Shadow Devil couldn't quickly escape and could only be chased by Yan Zhaoge.
This was all thanks to the Shadow Devil being proficient in movement techniques amongst experts of the same realm. Otherwise, he might not be able to outrun Yan Zhaoge who was proficient in movement techniques.
Traces of other people gradually appeared within the void. In the end, everyone was dumbfounded as they saw one of the world's most ancient Devils, the Wood Devil, being chased by a Grand Virtual Immortal.
