Cheng Huang's violent power rampaged amidst the great sea, terrifying flames exploding outwards, evaporating large amounts of seawater every time, to the point that a vacuum was instantly formed on the surface of the sea, a large area sunken in.
The power of a Martial Saint was displayed to the extreme, displaying shocking destructive power that far surpassed the norm.
However, if Yan Zhaoge was within the ice ball, already having left the area of effect of his first wave of attacks, however strong this Flame Devil King was, it would only be creating even more ferocious undercurrents at the bottom of the sea, sending Yan Zhaoge further away from him.
If Cheng Huang knew the principle behind Yan Zhaoge's escape, how enraged would he be?
Leading a Flame Devil King around the ocean like a bullfight was something that gave him a sense of accomplishment.
Of course, that 'bull' being led along was getting more and more irritable.
Towards the end, the Flame Devil King Cheng Huang simply stopped searching carefully. Wherever Yan Zhaoge appeared, he would immediately rush over, next sweeping through the area with a carpet bombing.
Yan Zhaoge deeply suspected that this Flame Devil King had already been stimulated to the point of forgetting about the matter of the dark red ring, instead thinking of killing him to vent his anger.
Therefore, the difficulty of bullfighting also began to rise in a straight line, with Yan Zhaoge having no choice but to deal with it carefully.
What followed next was a faint worry.
According to the time that had passed, if An Qinglin and the others on the Outer East Sea could free themselves, they should already be reinforcing Jade Sea City in the Inner East Sea by now.
However, seeing that the Flame Devil King Cheng Huang was still in the mood to chase after him, it was clear that there was still no one in the Inner East Sea who could threaten him.
The other Flame Devil King remaining on East Dragon Island should still be attacking Jade Sea City, competing with the Jade Sea Limitless Grand Formation.
The Lord of Jade Sea City, the Jade Sea Martial Saint Song Wuliang, was still in seclusion.
Due to having suffered the combined attacks of the two Flame Devil Kings earlier, the Jade Sea Limitless Grand Formation had already been damaged to a certain extent.
If they did not receive any reinforcements, even if there was only a single Flame Devil King left, with the Flame Devils having come prepared, having special methods specifically targeted at destroying the grand formation, as time passed, the grand formation might still be broken through.
"Turbid Wave Pavilion's Pavilion Lord An and the Sacred Sun Clan's Meng Wan and the others seem to have been hampered."
Yan Zhaoge's brows were knit tightly, "I'm afraid that even more Flame Devil experts have entered the Eight Extremities World from the passageway over at the Outer East Sea that connects to the Flame Devil World."
Ah Hu scratched his head, "That would have to depend on whether or not the Heavenly Thunder Hall can make it in time. The Heavenly Thunder Hall also borders the sea, being relatively close geographically, even closer than the inland Broad Creed Mountain, the Sacred Sun Clan and Infinite Boundless Mountain."
He hesitated slightly for a moment before continuing, "Still, Young Master, do you think that the Sacred Sun Clan and the Heavenly Thunder Hall will be willing to put in some effort? After all, the Jade Sea City that is currently suffering is on extremely bad terms with them. "
If Jade Sea City was destroyed, Broad Creed Mountain and Infinite Boundless Mountain would both lose a powerful ally, and the situation of the Sacred Sun Clan and the Heavenly Thunder Hall who had previously been at a disadvantage would improve greatly.
After all, the Flame Devils were public enemies. They would also fight against the Flame Devils.
However, it was not that the Sacred Sun Clan and the Heavenly Thunder Hall were unable to wait for the Flame Devils to destroy Jade Sea City before making a move.
During the great tribulation of Broad Creed Mountain earlier, in the intense battle between Broad Creed Mountain and the Decimating Abyss, the Sacred Sun Clan and the Heavenly Thunder Hall had already done so once.
If not for the threat of the Flame Devils being much more direct than that of the Nine Underworlds, if not for him being wary of Old Man Mo's and Turbid Wave Pavilion's attitudes, Yan Zhaoge even suspected that the Sacred Sun Clan and the Heavenly Thunder Hall might make use of this chance to interfere, sending Jade Sea City on its way.
Just like during the great tribulation of Broad Creed Mountain earlier, when they had stepped foot on Broad Creed Mountain.
Jade Sea City was, after all, a Sacred Ground. Even if it really was breached by the Flame Devils, it would also not be an easy thing to do.
Even if they did not personally make a move, waiting for Jade Sea City to deplete the strength of the Flame Devils before making a move would undoubtedly bring the greatest benefits to the Sacred Sun Clan and the Heavenly Thunder Hall.
There were many excuses they could use to deal with Old Man Mo and Turbid Wave Pavilion. Just saying that it had happened too suddenly and there had not been enough time would be sufficient.
Yan Zhaoge curled his lips, "When our clan and Infinite Boundless Mountain send reinforcements, we still have to pay attention to the Sacred Sun Clan and the Heavenly Thunder Hall.
"History is always shockingly similar …" Yan Zhaoge rolled his eyes, muttering to himself in a voice that only he could hear, "Not truly at a critical juncture of life and death, people always first think of internal strife."
Ah Hu didn't hear him clearly, "Young Master, what did you say?"
Yan Zhaoge waved his hands, "It's nothing. The problem now is that we understand too little about the current situation, virtually having lost all contact with the outside world. This won't do."
Following that, while Yan Zhaoge kept the ice shards, he also avoided the other Flame Devils as much as possible, concealing his tracks before speeding forward.
Yan Zhaoge's target was another of the Water Domain's Nine Cities, Long Ocean City at the very edge of the Inner East Sea where it intersected with the Outer East Sea.
Here, even if the First Seat Elder in charge of the overall situation went elsewhere to provide reinforcements, there would definitely still be other Jade Sea City martial practitioners sitting over here, news flowing freely.
While he had to risk the risk of the Flame Devil King Cheng Huang giving up on his pursuit and returning to Jade Sea City, Yan Zhaoge still decided to first leave the region of sea there, heading to Long Ocean City.
Fully understanding the current situation, with sufficient information to support him, he would be able to make the correct judgement and choice.
Arriving in the region of sea controlled by Long Ocean City, Yan Zhaoge discovered that not just Jade Sea City, the flames of war were also raging to the heavens here, the Flame Devils rampaging.
The martial practitioners of Jade Sea City as well as the martial practitioners of the first and second-rate powers were all in a great battle with the Flame Devils.
Seeing this scene, Yan Zhaoge's heart instantly sunk to the very bottom.
The invasion of the Flame Devils this time had indeed been massive. The Flame Devil Kings who had entered the Eight Extremities World were definitely not just those two who had attacked Jade Sea City earlier.
Yan Zhaoge urgently contacted the Jade Sea City martial practitioners here in Long Ocean City, inquiring about the latest situation.
While they were not of their clan, towards Yan Zhaoge, the Jade Sea City martial practitioners still shared their intelligence with him.
As Yan Zhaoge had predicted, An Qinglin and the others were currently still in the Outer East Sea, locked in a great battle with the peak experts of the Flame Devils, completely unable to spare any attention.
Accurately speaking, the situation was even worse than Yan Zhaoge had predicted.
"Flame Devil Kings equivalent to the second level of the Martial Saint realm?" Yan Zhaoge stared fixedly at the Jade Sea City martial practitioner before him, "Are you sure?"
The expression on that Jade Sea City martial practitioner's face was grave to the extreme, "Not just certain, there is more than one such Flame Devil King!"
"Turbid Wave Pavilion's Pavilion Lord An was injured and met with danger. Luckily, the Painting Saint arrived in time, just managing to intercept them near the entrance of the dimensional passageway."
"However, the pressure is still immense. Pavilion Lord An, the Painting Saint and the Sacred Sun Clan's Maiden of Extreme Yin were only barely able to block their advance, retreating as they battled."
Hearing his words, Yan Zhaoge put a hand on his head.
The Painting Saint Old Man Mo, an expert of the same generation as the Exalted Heaven Shaker Zhan Dongge and the Heaven Diviner Zhan Xilou and the Exalted Heaven Shaker Zhan Xilou as well as the oldest Martial Saint of the current Eight Extremities World, displaying strength that surpassed all others by a level should not be unexpected.
However, the fierceness of this wave of attacks by the Flame Devils also gave one a headache.
The situation in the Outer East Sea was actually not the least bit relaxed as it was over at Jade Sea City, perhaps even surpassing it.
After all, as soon as the defensive line of the human martial practitioners over at the Outer East Sea collapsed, the numerous Flame Devil experts there would instantly sweep through the entire East Sea.
"What about my Grand Master and the Sacred Sun Clan's Huang Guanglie?" Yan Zhaoge rubbed his temples lightly, asking. (To be continued.)
