The Flame Devils were likely to make a major move. The human martial arts experts guarding the Outer East Sea had mostly discovered some clues as well, and were all on their guard.
Broad Creed Mountain's First Seat Elder Fu Enshu, who was stationed in the East Sea to guard against the Flame Devils along with the others, had specially sent a report back to the clan.
Most of the other sects and forces had also received the message from the people in charge of the East Sea.
Affected by this, the tense atmosphere between the Human Race's Holy Lands eased a little.
However, everyone knew that after the battle of Broad Creed Mountain, the relationship between Broad Creed Mountain and the Sacred Sun Clan was already one of irreconcilable enemies, with a victor eventually being decided.
The Sacred Sun Clan's current relationship with Broad Creed Mountain was even worse than their relationship with Jade Sea City.
The situation of the Heavenly Thunder Hall and Broad Creed Mountain was similarly tense.
The fact that the atmosphere had eased slightly now was only because the Eight Extremities World was facing a common enemy.
The Sacred Sun Clan disciple Meng Wan who wielded the Sacred Artifact, the Extreme Yin Crown, had already arrived above the East Sea with the Extreme Yin Crown.
There, the Pavilion Lord of Turbid Wave Pavilion, the Roiling Cloud Martial Saint An Qinglin, had also arrived to oversee the scene.
"Other than that, we have already contacted the Lord of the Heavenly Thunder Hall, the Green Thunder Martial Saint Shen Li as well as the Painting Saint Old Man Mo." Ah Hu said to Yan Zhaoge, "Old Man Mo aside, whether Shen Li will leave the Thunder Domain and come to the sea is hard to say."
Yan Zhaoge said, "That will have to depend on how the situation changes."
Ah Hu swallowed, "Young Master, it's said that the Flame Devils have gradually regained their vitality these past few years. Do you think that another Great Flame Devil King-level existence will emerge from them?"
Yan Zhaoge raised his head and pondered for a moment before saying, "This is very hard to say. The internal strife of the Flame Devils is also very intense. Under such circumstances, the result could be internal friction, or it could also be the birth of an extraordinary hegemon like rearing Gu."
He looked at Ah Hu. "In short, pay close attention to the movements in the Outer East Sea. If there's any news, report it immediately."
Ah Hu nodded. "Yes, Young Master."
Very soon, news spread that under the leadership of the two Flame Devil Kings, a large number of experts of the Flame Devil Race had set foot in the East Sea.
The enemy was intercepted by An Qinglin and the Extreme Yin Crown as a bloody battle erupted between the human experts and the Flame Devil experts on the Outer East Sea, causing the rivers to roil and the seas to boil.
Still, the overall situation in the Eight Extremities World could still be considered stable.
As the chaos of the Flame Devils grew more and more intense in recent years, a series of great battles had erupted in the East Sea.
During the incident of Clear Concealed Lake and the battle of Broad Creed Mountain, due to their connection with the Decimating Abyss, the Flame Devils had once unleashed a frenzied wave of attacks, with more than a single Flame Devil King entering the Eight Extremities World each time, working together with the Decimating Abyss who had created the chaos of the Nine Underworlds, forcing the human race to have experts of the same level to resist them, drawing away much of their attention.
Therefore, the fact that two Flame Devil Kings had entered the East Sea together now did not come as much of a surprise to the human race martial practitioners.
What everyone was more concerned about now was whether there were any other experts of the Flame Devil race who had entered the Eight Extremities World as reinforcements.
Yan Zhaoge activated the Internal Crystal Furnace, continuing to carefully refine those nine ice shards.
However, Ah Hu soon sent a piece of bad news.
"Lost track of them?" Yan Zhaoge looked rather bemused at Ah Hu who had virtually crashed through the door, "A bunch of Flame Devils, all of them gone?"
Ah Hu's expression was extremely grave. "We don't know the exact situation. Elder Fu and the others are going crazy looking for him."
"With the two Flame Devil Kings at their head, a great number of Flame Devil experts have gone missing, shaking off Pavilion Lord An and Elder Fu, their whereabouts unknown."
Yan Zhaoge knit his brows, "This is a little unexpected. How did they do it?"
The tyrannical Flame Devils were able to incinerate the spiritual qi of the heavens and the earth as long as they were in the Eight Extremities World, causing a severe impact on the Eight Extremities World even if they did nothing at all.
The stronger the Flame Devils, the worse the impact they would have, at the same time finding it harder to conceal their tracks.
It was still fine if they were Flame Devils whose strength was roughly equivalent to human Martial Scholars. However, having risen to the Martial Grandmaster level, or even stronger, they would virtually be unable to conceal their tracks even if they wanted to.
Even if high level Flame Devil experts took the initiative to retract their auras, being able to conceal it from human martial practitioners with lower cultivation bases, it would be very hard for them to conceal it from human experts of the same cultivation level.
All of them resembled the flames of the dark night, dazzling to the extreme.
Now, however, a great number of Flame Devils had actually shaken off the Martial Saint An Qinglin and the Sacred Artifact, the Extreme Yin Crown, vanishing without a trace. This was something that had never happened before.
What was especially alarming was that it was not just those two Flame Devil Kings who had gone missing. A great number of other Flame Devils had also gone missing along with them.
A layer of darkness surfaced within Yan Zhaoge's gaze.
Pushing open the door to his secluded cultivation room, Yan Zhaoge saw that the entire Jade Sea City was currently in a state of unrest.
The middle and lower level martial practitioners did not know that the City Lord Song Wuliang was in secluded cultivation, much less the ordinary citizens of the outer city.
However, the higher echelon experts of Jade Sea City all knew that Jade Sea City was currently in a rather weaker state, similar to how Broad Creed Mountain had been when Yuan Zhengfeng had been in secluded cultivation in his attempt to break through into the Martial Saint realm.
The strange changes in the battle situation on the East Sea drew the attention of the higher echelons of Jade Sea City.
In order to avoid unnecessary panic, while it was not announced to the entire world, Jade Sea City also began to move.
East Dragon Island began to be on high alert, Jade Sea City's guardian grand formation also prepared to be upgraded to the next level, fully on guard.
Yan Zhaoge's figure rose into the air. Gazing into the distance, he saw roiling tides surging over from the surrounding horizon!
Infinite seawater, massive waves that surged to the heavens surged over from all directions.
East Dragon Island that resembled a small continent seemed to be sinking at this moment, completely submerged by the surrounding great sea!
A surging screen of water shot into the skies, obscuring the heavens and concealing the sun, instantly obscuring the entire sky.
The massive East Dragon Island seemed about to become an underwater world at this moment.
One after another, profound and complex massive spirit patterns lit up with a jade blue radiance, flickering amidst the great screen of seawater, forming a single qi as they transformed into a massive formation, enveloping East Dragon Island with Jade Sea City as its core.
Ah Hu sighed in admiration, "This is Jade Sea City's guardian grand formation, the Jade Sea Limitless Grand Formation? It truly takes one's breath away … "
Before his words had landed, Ah Hu stared wide-eyed, his eyeballs seemingly about to pop out of their sockets.
Yan Zhaoge stared unblinkingly at the grand formation overhead.
There, a fiery red light suddenly surged madly, landing on the water screen grand formation!
While separated by seawater, infinite, endless flames blazed and exploded rampantly, seemingly wanting to set the seawater ablaze as well.
The violent red light formed a brutal, terrifying fiery red scar on the water screen above Jade Sea City, extending from one end of the sky to the other, shocking to the eye, resembling a tragic scar!
What caused one's heart to palpitate was the fact that another violent streak of blazing fire very quickly descended, intersecting with the previous scar, resembling a cross.
As the fiery red cross imprinted itself on the water screen grand formation, a great amount of the spirit patterns shattered almost immediately.
The jade sea above everyone's heads seemed about to be forcibly ripped apart!
Seeing this, Yan Zhaoge's pupils dilated slightly, "It's here ah …"
