Yan Zhaoge swivelled his head to look at the East Rising Lord and the others, who met his gaze expressionlessly. Seeing this, Yan Zhaoge smiled slightly.
Now, the sound of thunder resounded from above. Raising their heads and gazing over, they saw that under Shen Li's lead, the Heavenly Thunder Hall experts had also descended into the deep abyss.
Apart from this, Turbid Wave Pavilion's Pavilion Lord An Qinglin descended from the other side along with a group of Turbid Wave Pavilion's longtime elders.
When Yuan Zhengfeng and Huang Guanglie saw them, they both nodded slightly. Shen Li and An Qinglin similarly nodded in greeting.
Right at this moment, a violent aura fluctuation came from the abyss.
A suffocating and terrifying aura surged up.
Aside from Yuan Zhengfeng and the other Martial Saint experts, the accompanying Essence Talisman Martial Grandmasters all frowned.
As the only martial practitioner below the Essence Talisman Martial Grandmaster realm, Yan Zhaoge's feelings were naturally even more obvious.
As the baleful qi entered his body, Yan Zhaoge could clearly feel that his meridians, flesh and blood all seemed to show signs of withering for a time.
What was even more frightening was that under the assault of the baleful aura, his Zhenyuan seemed to be assimilating with the baleful aura, as if it was about to revolt.
"The Nine Underworlds Baleful Qi truly lives up to its name." Yan Zhaoge shook his head slightly, a qi flow that resembled chaos appearing within his body in a vast manner as it enveloped his entire body, lifeless and inextinguishable as it kept the invading baleful qi of the Nine Underworlds at bay.
The Peerless Heavenly Scripture that Yan Zhaoge cultivated in had been hailed as the number one direct lineage technique of Daoism in pre-Great Calamity times, able to give birth to all things, able to contain all things, able to extinguish all things. Even the baleful qi of the Nine Underworlds did not fear it.
However, compared to his current cultivation, the amount of Netherworld baleful qi in front of him was too huge.
Even if it could be dispelled and melted, a rather long period of time would be required. Therefore, Yan Zhaoge was currently neither resisting nor absorbing it, just isolating it from the outside.
To the Nine Underworlds baleful qi before him, Yan Zhaoge was like an empty void at this moment, no longer existing.
Those of the other Sacred Grounds were also observing Yan Zhaoge. Seeing that Yan Zhaoge was not affected by the Nine Underworlds baleful qi, their expressions varied.
The expressions of those of the Sacred Sun Clan and the Heavenly Thunder Hall were all slightly gloomy, while those of Turbid Wave Pavilion were more filled with admiration and respect.
Everyone looked down, and suddenly, they saw a golden light rising up from below.
Coming into contact with the golden light, Yan Zhaoge and the others all felt as though they were feeling the warm sunlight of winter.
The adverse effects brought about by the baleful qi of the Nine Underworlds were greatly alleviated.
Even the real sun in the sky had been covered by the baleful aura, and everything was dark.
However, in the abyss below, there seemed to be another sun. Because of the close distance, the heat and light penetrated the thick fog, bringing light to everyone's eyes.
Heaven and Earth seemed to have reversed at this moment.
Light flickered unceasingly within Huang Guanglie's eyes, while a shocking light erupted from the eyes of the Sunset Lord, the East Rising Lord and the other experts of the Sacred Sun Clan.
Compared to the others, they had a deeper understanding of the energy fluctuations at the bottom of the abyss.
While it was different from the Sacred Sun Clan's legacy, Huang Guanglie and the others could feel that it was a concept related to the Sun Star of the sky.
Just being bathed in the radiance of the deep abyss below caused the East Rising Lord and the others to feel extremely comfortable.
Huang Guanglie, who had a higher cultivation, didn't have such an intense feeling, but he had a deeper understanding of the concept behind it. For a moment, he only felt that it was boundlessly profound.
Yan Zhaoge narrowed his eyes slightly at this moment.
Previously, he had been to the Earth Domain many times. Now that he was in direct contact with the golden sunlight, he gradually had an idea of what was going on.
"No wonder it also felt somewhat familiar earlier," Yan Zhaoge exhaled lightly, "Extreme Yang Scripture …"
Yan Zhaoge held an ancient beast skin scroll within his hands.
That was something he had obtained along with the Immortal Crane Wings when he had entered the foreign dimension where the solitary practitioner Loose Practitioner He of pre-Great Calamity times had resided.
Currently, the Immortal Crane Wings had already been handed over to Ah Hu, but this ancient beast hide scroll had always remained with Yan Zhaoge.
The animal skin scroll was empty except for a square pattern in the center, which seemed to have been left by some kind of seal.
The pattern left behind by the seal was like a sun.
When Yan Zhaoge had analysed the concept within, he had felt that it seemed to have originated from a supreme scripture of before the Great Calamity, the Extreme Yang Scripture.
Before the descent of the Great Calamity, the creator of the Extreme Yang Scripture had only just created this supreme martial art. He was still unceasingly perfecting it, not having completed it completely. Sadly, with the descent of the Great Calamity, everything was no longer the same.
This lost technique was also one of the few lost techniques that were not recorded in the Divine Palace's library.
Still, Yan Zhaoge had come into contact with some incomplete scriptures before.
The Sacred Sun Clan's martial legacy had similarly been developed after the Great Calamity by unearthing the remnants of the previous martial civilisation, combining their own comprehensions, vaguely containing some traces of the Extreme Yang Scripture.
However, as Yan Zhaoge saw it, the concept contained within the sunlight before him was likely of the orthodox direct lineage of the Extreme Yang Scripture.
While it had not been completed that year, it was still an extremely peak martial art. As Yan Zhaoge carefully analysed the golden light within the deep abyss at this moment, he could only feel that the abyss seemed even deeper.
"A pity that I do not have the complete Extreme Yang Scripture from back then. Otherwise, I would be able to analyse it a little." Yan Zhaoge pondered, "However, if my feeling is not wrong, the Great Calamity should not have caused the Extreme Yang Scripture to be severed. Instead, it should have been unceasingly perfected by someone, finally unceasingly deducing and perfecting it."
The Eight Extremities World had never heard of the existence of such a person before.
However, other than the Flame Devil World that was not occupied by humans, Yan Zhaoge could already confirm that there were also the Vast Ocean World, the Floating Life World and other worlds where human martial practitioners resided, as well as the existence of that legendary World beyond Worlds. Therefore, he did not feel surprised.
This was especially so with the image of that woman he had seen when refining the pillar of the Divine Palace back then, allowing Yan Zhaoge to confirm that there were still people who had successfully escaped the tribulation of the Great Calamity and survived.
"This seal seems to be relying on some sort of treasure." Staring at the golden light down below for a moment, Yan Zhaoge retracted his thoughts, focusing his attention on the deep abyss of the Earth Domain before him once more.
The golden light and the black fog clashed unceasingly.
The baleful qi of the Nine Underworlds grew denser and denser, fiercer and fiercer as it surged upwards unceasingly.
Accompanied by the strengthening of the black fog, the golden light seemed to be strengthening in opposition as well. However, if one observed carefully, they would be able to detect the changes within as they were somewhat stiff and unrefined.
Everyone understood that the seal down below still seemed to have sufficient power. However, under the accumulated assault of the qi of the Nine Underworlds over a long period of time, its spirituality was gradually being lost as it weakened unceasingly.
Even so, one could only sigh in admiration.
After all, the tragic scene of hell had already existed for an extremely long period of time. The seal down below had endured such a long period of wear and tear, yet still stood firm.
As they descended, Yuan Zhengfeng's eyes suddenly lit up, "Fang Zhun."
However, the next moment, Yuan Zhengfeng's expression turned solemn.
He saw his disciple Fang Zhun's entire body being shrouded by baleful qi of the Nine Underworlds as well as golden sunlight, his body sinking unceasingly.
Fang Zhun had always been on the frontlines monitoring the abnormalities in the Earth Domain. He had also been the first to report the situation as soon as it had intensified this time.
However, the result of going too deep was that he himself had sunk deep within as well.
While Fang Zhun's expression was solemn, it was not for his own safety. Instead, he was staring fixedly at the deep abyss down below. Seeing Yan Zhaoge, Yuan Zhengfeng and the others arrive, he raised his voice and roared, "It's coming up!"
Before his words had landed, golden light erupted down below, seemingly being pushed upwards by something. (To be continued.)
