Zhang Yao said, "The Extreme Yin Crown controlled by the Sacred Sun Clan, under the control of senior apprentice-sister Meng Wan, also left for the Water Domain. Infinite Boundless Mountain's Chief Beiyue Towering Heaven Chu also left with his Sacred Artifact, the Heaven Cleaving Axe."
Speaking of how the Sacred Sun Clan had dispatched the Extreme Yin Crown to Jade Sea City, Zhang Yao sighed.
Yan Zhaoge's expression was as per usual as he asked, "What else?"
"Also …" Zhang Yao's spirits rose, "Your father, Chief Yan, battled with the Heavenly Thunder Hall's Green Thunder Martial Saint, Senior Shen, at the border between the Thunder and Water Domains."
"Not bringing a Sacred Artifact, not relying on the power of the terrain, your father faced the Green Thunder Martial Saint head-on as a Martial Grandmaster. The Green Thunder Martial Saint saw the Water Domain right before his eyes, but was unable to take a single step forward!"
Hearing her words, Ah Hu instantly laughed till his eyes could not be seen as he chuckled happily.
Feng Yunsheng and Ying Longtu also had looks of admiration on their faces.
Yan Zhaoge, however, did not seem shocked as he just smiled, asking, "And the final result?"
The excitement on Zhang Yao's face was retracted as her gaze gradually turned solemn, "As the two sides clashed, before victory and defeat could be decided, something else suddenly happened, breaking off this great battle."
She sucked in a deep breath, deep wariness surfacing within her eyes, "It is not just the contest between your father and the Green Thunder Martial Saint. In other aspects, the contest between your clan's Heaven Equalling Saint and the Sacred Sun Clan's East Coming Martial Saint was also forced to stop."
"The standoff between the Extreme Yin Crown and the Heaven Cleaving Axe could only come to an end."
Hearing her words, Yan Zhaoge's eyes narrowed slightly into slits.
Zhang Yao said in a heavy tone, "An intense change occurred in the Earth Domain, affecting the entire Earth Domain, even spreading to the surrounding few Domains."
"It is rumoured that an extremely terrifying aura emanated from the Earth Domain, as well as a tragic howl that shook one's soul."
As she spoke, deep fear appeared within Zhang Yao's gaze, "At that time, everyone who was in the Earth Domain, other than your clan's Heaven Equalling Saint and the Sacred Sun Clan's East Coming Martial Saint, instantly perished!"
While they had not personally been there, Yan Zhaoge and the others could all feel a chill surging within their hearts.
The Earth Domain was vast, virtually as large as the Heaven Domain ruled ruled by Broad Creed Mountain.
While the Earth Domain had always been one of the six great Danger Grounds of the Eight Extremities World, there were also many precious specialties that could not be found elsewhere.
Therefore, there were always people who took the risk to enter, and among them, there was no lack of Great Grandmaster martial artists with high cultivation.
However, when the waves hit, the people in the middle of it were like a lone boat in the ocean, suddenly facing a tsunami that affected the entire ocean and drowned them in an instant.
Among these people, there were more or less martial artists from the Six Great Holy Lands.
Such a terrifying scene, just thinking about it made people shudder.
Yan Zhaoge knit his brows, "While my Grand Master and the Sacred Sun Clan's Huang Guanglie are engaged in a great battle in the Earth Domain, they should have paid attention to minimizing their influence on the Earth Domain. They shouldn't have caused such a great disturbance."
Zhang Yao replied, "I heard that Senior Yuan and Senior Huang were indeed paying attention. The sudden changes in the Earth Domain were not caused by them."
The young girl bit her lip. "The Pavilion Master had originally been recuperating from her injuries in seclusion, but she was also alarmed. She said that the abnormality in the Earth Domain this time surpasses the previous disturbances of the Decimating Abyss. The source seems to be in the deepest part of the Earth Domain, and is very likely related to the Nine Underworlds itself!"
Yan Zhaoge lightly rubbed his temples, also feeling a bit of a headache, "What happened after that?"
Zhang Yao's expression relaxed somewhat, "With the abnormalities in the Earth Domain and the Nine Underworlds in chaos, the two sides currently clashing could only temporarily stop, first hurrying to the Earth Domain to deal with it."
Yan Zhaoge did not speak, looking at Zhang Yao, waiting for her to continue.
The young girl had a puzzled look on her face, "I am also not very clear on the specifics of the situation, but it is rumoured that golden radiance flickered within the deep abyss of the Earth Domain."
"Affected by this, the Earth Domain which originally had black qi surging to the heavens temporarily calmed a little. However, it is still exceptionally dangerous."
"The Elders of the various sects have already sent down the notice that disciples below the Essence Talisman Martial Grandmaster realm are strictly forbidden from approaching the vicinity of the Earth Domain, not even entering its outskirts."
Yan Zhaoge's expression flickered slightly, "Golden radiance?"
It was said that the reason why the Earth Domain had become the current land of death was because, for some unknown reason, a crevice leading to the Nine Underworlds had opened up many years ago.
It was just that this crevice had been sealed by a force of unknown origin, preventing the power of death and destruction from continuing to expand.
However, the Earth Domain had also become 'Hell'.
Not mentioning that before the Great Calamity, the fearsome name of the Nine Underworlds had already been passed down from ancient times, just from the example of the Earth Domain alone, one could understand why the entire Eight Extremities World was filled with wariness towards the Nine Underworlds. After discovering traces of the Decimating Abyss, everyone wanted to attack them.
The Evil Devils of the Nine Underworlds bewitched the hearts of the people, specially targeting holes in the hearts of people. While they did not seem as violent as the Flame Devils, if the Nine Underworlds descended into the human realm, the destruction they would cause would also be indisputably destructive.
Yan Zhaoge had once suspected that the people of the Decimating Abyss had intended to open up that crevice in the Earth Domain, guiding the Nine Underworlds to continue descending.
Afterwards, seeing the people of the Decimating Abyss leave the Earth Domain, wreaking havoc elsewhere in the Eight Extremities World in an attempt to open the Nine Underworlds Door, Yan Zhaoge had become interested in that power that sealed the Earth Domain.
However, because he was wary of the Nine Underworlds, Yan Zhaoge had not acted rashly.
A moment of carelessness and the seal had been broken, the Nine Underworlds descending, that would have been a huge problem.
Hearing that golden light had suddenly appeared in the Earth Domain, suppressing the abnormalities there once more, Yan Zhaoge immediately thought of this matter.
"What's the situation over at the Earth Domain now?" Yan Zhaoge asked.
Zhang Yao said as they walked, "The six great Sacred Grounds all have people watching over there, with a few Martial Saint experts also on standby at all times, entering from time to time in an attempt to probe deeper. However, there still seems to be no certainty now."
"Instead, the abnormalities in the Earth Domain have gradually calmed, becoming weaker and weaker. Everyone is saying that this tribulation seems to have passed for the time being, but we still have to remain vigilant."
Yan Zhaoge nodded, "It should be so."
As they walked, a layer of darkness gradually surfaced within Yan Zhaoge's gaze, "Has it … passed?"
Lin Zhou's words that seemed like a prophecy whilst also a curse before his death now surfaced within Yan Zhaoge's mind, "Is it referring to this?"
The abnormalities in the Earth Domain might have originated from the Nine Underworlds. Perhaps it was because the Decimating Abyss had been obstructed time and time again, thus drawing the attention of the powerful Evil Devils over at the Nine Underworlds, or perhaps angering them.
Yan Zhaoge pondered, "We have to plan carefully."
Passing by Turbid Wave Pavilion, after paying a visit and greeting them, they continued heading north.
With such a great change having occurred in the Earth Domain, it was a little inconvenient for them to head to the Heaven Domain. However, there were also many peak experts of Broad Creed Mountain currently in the vicinity of the Earth Domain.
Currently, not only was Yuan Zhengfeng keeping an eye on the Earth Domain, Fang Zhun of Broad Creed Mountain who had the greatest understanding of the Earth Domain other than Yan Zhaoge had also come over.
After entrusting Feng Yunsheng, Ying Longtu and the others to other longtime Elders of the clan, Yan Zhaoge himself remained behind, preparing to investigate the current Earth Domain. (To be continued.)
