With the Outer East Sea as the main battlefield, the great battle between the human experts of the Eight Extremities World and the invading Flame Devils was already nearing its climax.
Accompanied by the unceasing eruption of the Fire Pith Veins, the Flame Devils gradually gained the home ground advantage, launching a counterattack as they unceasingly threatened the regions outside of the Outer East Sea.
At this moment, Yuan Zhengfeng and the other peak experts of the human race having detected the source of the eruption of the Fire Pith Veins, immediately hurrying over.
The peak experts of the Flame Devil race were all gathered here as well, the two sides in a decisive battle in this region of sea.
Yan Zhaoge remained on the outskirts, not approaching blindly.
At the core of the battlefield, more than ten Martial Saint experts attacked together, the surrounding space virtually already having been pierced through.
Even the surrounding participants were all Essence Talisman Martial Grandmasters and Great Flame Devils at the very least. Otherwise, just the aftershocks of the clash between Martial Saints would be sufficient to sweep through everything.
It was like the situation during the great tribulation of Jade Sea City back then, just that the positions of the two sides were reversed now.
At that time, Yuan Zhengfeng and An Qinglin had been on the defensive side. Facing the attacks of Jing Zhong and the other Flame Devil Kings, they had had to divert their attention to protect Jade Sea City, inevitably falling into a passive position.
Now, however, it was the exact opposite. The Flame Devils had to protect the core of the fire net here, preventing it from being destroyed by Yuan Zhengfeng and the other human experts.
This way, with the two sides not having much of a difference in strength, the attacking side would unquestionably hold the initiative.
If the defending side focused solely on defence, revealing a flaw, the attacking side might be able to make use of it, injuring the defending side.
However, as time passed, the Flame Devils who had turned the Outer East Sea into a sea of flames instead gained the home ground advantage, growing more and more valiant as they fought.
If this continued, the Flame Devils would become even more arrogant.
Their main targets were Yuan Zhengfeng, Huang Guanglie and the other human Martial Saint experts.
However, they did not care much about Martial Grandmasters.
Human Martial Grandmasters neared that deep abyss of flames, yet were unable to destroy it.
A powerful force descended on the deep abyss of flames, causing fiery light to shoot out in all directions, the Fire Pith Veins roiling, yet not calming down.
The human Martial Grandmasters tried a few times to no avail as they could only turn to assist Yuan Zhengfeng and the others, attempting to help them break through the defensive line of the Flame Devils.
The Flame Devils, led by a few Flame Devil Kings, also tightly entangled the Martial Saint experts of the human race, preventing them from nearing the deep abyss of flames.
After carefully observing for a moment, Yan Zhaoge attempted to contact his fellow Broad Creed Mountain seniors within the battlefield.
Yuan Zhengfeng discovered him at the first instant. However, Yuan Zhengfeng was currently locked in battle with his old foe, the Flame Devil King Jing Zhong, unable to extricate himself from the battle.
After a short while, a figure forced through the layers of flowing fire, arriving before Yan Zhaoge.
It was none other than Broad Creed Mountain's lineage's East Sea First Seat Elder, the Soaring Cloud Lord Fu Enshu, who had previously been watching over the Outer East Sea.
As a woman, Fu Enshu had always been strong and fierce, but at this moment, there was more of a bloody and fiery evil aura.
"Why are you here too?" Fu Enshu asked, "Could it be that you were the one who destroyed the fire net earlier?"
"It is indeed me," Yan Zhaoge said urgently, "Senior apprentice-aunt Fu, can you send me to the core of this fire net?"
Fu Enshu said, "The Flame Demons risked their lives to block the path, mainly to stop Master and the others."
She appraised Yan Zhaoge, "Are you thinking of something again? I'm afraid the situation here is different from the node you destroyed before. "
Yan Zhaoge said, "There's a way to try. I dare not say that I'm completely confident, but it should work."
After pondering for a moment, Fu Enshu made a prompt decision, "Alright, I'll believe you!"
Saying thus, Fu Enshu formed a sword with her index and middle fingers, forming a sword seal as majestic sword-light arose around her.
Numerous sword-lights condensed into sword talismans before transforming into a sword formation, sweeping Yan Zhaoge along as they shot into the skies, flying into the distance.
Majestic and distant, the sword formation resembled a world of its own. It was precisely one of Broad Creed Mountain's Three Supreme Martial Arts, the Limitless Heavenly Sword.
Fu Enshu's sword traversed the air, bringing Yan Zhaoge along as she broke through the great sea, speeding towards the deep abyss of flames at the bottom of the sea.
Immediately, Flame Devils surrounded them, obstructing the sword-light.
Fu Enshu ignored them all.
A massive palm suddenly descended from the sky, resembling the collapse of the sky as it directly scattered the seawater down below, all the Flame Devils within perishing.
It was precisely Yuan Zhengfeng who had made a move, clearing the path for Yan Zhaoge and Fu Enshu.
Ever since their previous attempts had failed, it had always been Fu Enshu and the other Martial Grandmasters who had attempted to help Yuan Zhengfeng and the other Martial Saint experts break through.
Now, the situation had suddenly reversed once more, with the Flame Devils being caught off guard, Yuan Zhengfeng and Fu Enshu having successfully torn open a gap.
The current strategy of the Flame Devils was to firmly prevent Martial Saints from getting past, while Martial Grandmasters might be able to.
Fu Enshu's sword-light shot straight in, shooting towards the depths of the sea.
While they were irritable and easily angered, the sudden abnormal actions of the human martial practitioners also caused the Flame Devils to feel restless and uneasy, with some Flame Devil Kings wanting to make a move to obstruct Fu Enshu.
"Victory or defeat will be decided here!" Yuan Zhengfeng roared, attacking like the tide as he spurred the other Martial Saint experts along, pressuring down with the momentum of toppling mountains and overturning seas, forcing Jing Zhong and the other Flame Devil Kings to only be able to deal with what was before them.
However, some Great Flame Devils began to turn and chase after Fu Enshu.
Fu Enshu's sword-light expanded, putting Yan Zhaoge down, descending into the deep abyss of flames.
She herself suddenly turned, blocking with her sword as she domineeringly met the pursuing Great Flame Devils.
Seeing Yan Zhaoge's figure, a Great Flame Devil revealed a furious expression as he lunged over.
However, a dense, ethereal sword-light shot over, nearly piercing through him.
Sword in hand, white clothes fluttering, Fu Enshu resembled a divine pillar that stabilised the seas as she stood above the deep abyss of flames, obstructing the approaching Flame Devils.
At this moment, every second counted. Yan Zhaoge couldn't be bothered to look back at the scene behind him as he shot towards the entrance of the deep abyss at full speed.
Opening his Shadow Shrinking Pouch, nine ice shards appeared within Yan Zhaoge's hands. Yan Zhaoge threw them out, the ice shards hovering within the seawater.
Next, Yan Zhaoge punched out, his fist-intent causing the ice shards to form a formation.
Streams of ice-blue radiance flickered, numerous spirit patterns intersecting, coming together to form a massive formation.
The nine ice shards stood at the edges of the formation, light shining as they formed nine white pillars of light, supporting the formation.
Yan Zhaoge waved his hand, all the remaining Devil Shattering Ice Talismans he currently had falling into the centre of the formation.
He punched out once more, the formation shuddering as, guarded by the nine white pillars of light, it descended into the deep abyss of flames down below.
The deep abyss shook for a moment, the light of fire intermingling, yet no other changes could be seen.
Seeing this, the human martial practitioners who had originally held some anticipation inevitably revealed looks of disappointment on their faces.
They could only raise their spirits, returning to their earlier plan as they did their best to assist Yuan Zhengfeng, Huang Guanglie and the others in breaking through the defensive line of the Flame Devils.
While this method was not as effective as it had been at that previous point, Yan Zhaoge's expression was not flustered in the least as he just gazed very earnestly at the deep abyss of flames down below.
Within the fiery light, Yan Zhaoge vaguely saw something.
Something that was completely incompatible with its surroundings.
A small crimson pagoda. (To be continued.)
