Transcending Mortality and entering Sainthood.
These four simple words were akin to a heavenly chasm.
Even in pre-Great Calamity times, Transcending Mortality and entering Sainthood had not been an easy thing.
In the post-Great Calamity Eight Extremities World, there had only been a total of six Martial Saints.
Yan Di was known as the Invincible Yan of the world. Ever since he had started cultivating, he had never been defeated in battle against martial practitioners of the same cultivation level, dominating them all.
Even opponents with higher cultivation bases than him were looked down upon by him.
Around two years ago, having stepped into the Transcending Mortality stage, he had been invincible amongst Martial Grandmasters, not even being able to exchange a single blow with him.
In the eyes of the world, Yan Di who was a Transcending Mortality Martial Grandmaster could only be found amongst the Martial Saints.
No one doubted Yan Di's ability to step into the Martial Saint realm. In fact, no one even doubted that he would be the youngest Martial Saint recorded in the post-Great Calamity Eight Extremities World.
However, even those who held him in the highest esteem would never have thought that Yan Di would surpass the heavenly chasm that countless people would never be able to surpass in their entire lifetimes, Transcending Mortality and entering Sainthood as he stepped into the Martial Saint realm!
Old Man Mo, Huang Guanglie, Song Wuliang and An Qinglin all doubted their senses for a moment, wondering if they had seen wrongly.
"ROAR!"
A heaven-shocking, earth-shaking roar shook the heavens as all-encompassing flowing fire converged.
The Great Flame Devil King struck out with its claws, the light of fire instantly rampaging amidst space, blazing fire seemingly burning through space as terrifying crevices were ripped open.
Enveloped by the flames, the heavens and the earth seemed to be on the verge of shattering.
The hearts of the human martial practitioners all grew solemn as they regained their wits.
Their opponent had already used his actions to resolve their doubts.
As that Great Flame Devil King saw it, Yan Di was the one who posed the greatest threat amongst the human martial practitioners present!
The violent blazing fire split the heavens and the earth as Yan Di faced it directly, fearlessly.
He raised the sabre in his hands that shone with purple light before chopping downwards, the heavens above his head collapsing.
The majestic sabre-intent, immeasurable and boundless, collided with the ferocious blazing fire, both shattering unceasingly!
The shattered sabre-qi and blazing fire within the air transformed into numerous hurricanes that swept along the flames, forming a terrifying storm of flames which numbered in the thousands as they coiled within the air.
The Great Flame Devil King stomped on the air, lowering its head as its two horns aimed straight at Yan Di, slamming over ferociously!
Under the collision, the void seemed to explode, and the spinning flame tornadoes were all shattered.
Yan Di had yet to retract the Heavenly Dragon Sabre in his right hand, but his expression was as per usual as he formed a sabre with his left palm, chopping out towards that Great Flame Devil King!
This sabre was different from the Immeasurable Heavenly Sabre that Yan Di had always been wielding.
The saber intent was majestic and magnificent.
Its foundation still originated from Broad Creed Mountain's direct lineage, the Clear Qi Profound Art and the Immeasurable Heavenly Sabre.
However, it was no longer as majestic as the Immeasurable Heavenly Blade.
There was only one feeling that this saber strike gave people.
Domineering!
Other than being domineering, it was still being domineering!
Looking disdainfully at the world, unrestrained and fearless!
Yan Di had combined his martial true intent with all that he had learned in his lifetime, achieving mastery in the instant he had ascended into the Martial Saint realm, creating a peerless martial art of his own!
Extreme Heaven Tyrannical Blade!
There had never been such a blade in this world before, but today, it appeared in front of the world for the first time!
It was also the tyrannical sabre that was most compatible with Yan Di himself, unleashing his power to the point of perfection as it was connected to the grand daos of the heavens and the earth!
Substituting a sabre with his palm, Yan Di hacked down on the horn of that Great Flame Devil King.
The bodies of both sides shook simultaneously!
That Great Flame Devil King emitted a deafening, enraged howl as it stumbled backwards in retreat.
One of the horns on its head had shockingly been hacked off by Yan Di!
Yan Di let out a low roar, his figure also jolting backwards in retreat. However, he quickly halted his footsteps.
He raised the Heavenly Dragon Sabre in his right hand, chopping out with it once more!
The domineering, incomparably ferocious Extreme Heaven Tyrannical Sabre was executed by Yan Di who had just stepped into the Martial Saint realm. The Heavenly Dragon Sabre, an elite amongst high-grade spirit artifacts, actually trembled unceasingly, as though it was unable to bear the sabre-intent of this sabre of Yan Di's!
The Great Flame Devil King howled repeatedly in rage, lunging over once more, the patterns of flame all over its body shining dazzlingly.
The boundless flames up in the sky suddenly dimmed greatly.
However, the power of that Great Flame Devil King skyrocketed before being compressed and condensed, finally erupting mightily!
The heavens and the earth were instantly enveloped by immeasurable radiance as even the Martial Saint experts of the human race and the Flame Devil Kings were hard pressed to clearly see what was happening within at that moment.
After the radiance had passed, boundless waves of fire and sabre-qi rapidly expanded into the surroundings, virtually clearing away everything in the surrounding sky as it expanded unceasingly, sweeping through the entire universe.
The entire East Sea was swept through, the violent currents even sweeping through the inland waters. The coastal regions which had originally been experiencing torrential storms and typhoons were suddenly swept clean.
Above East Dragon Island's Jade Sea City, Yan Di stood towering amidst space, sabre in hand.
That Great Flame Devil King's eyes were bloodshot as it stared fixedly at Yan Di, only a single horn remaining on its head as sparks shot out unceasingly from where its other broken horn had been.
He clutched the broken horn on its head with a claw, his gaze on Yan Di filled with resolute killing intent.
Yan Di raised his sabre horizontally before his chest, looking at the sabre-light that was rather dim as it vaguely emitted a mournful wail.
He did not look despondent as he just said softly, "Old friend, it's been hard on you."
The human experts and the Flame Devil Kings down below all involuntarily slowed their movements as well, gazing intently at that heaven-shocking, earth-shaking battle.
Old Man Mo seemed to sigh emotionally as he murmured, "Both at the first level of the Martial Saint realm, he has surpassed Zhan Hantian. In terms of the martial dao, he has also leapt out of Zhan Hantian's circle."
"The same martial art, when cultivated by different people, will also have differences in strength. Yan Di's Immeasurable Heavenly Sabre is stronger than the Immeasurable Heavenly Sabre executed by Yuan Zhengfeng."
"Still, the Immeasurable Heavenly Sabre is Zhan Hantian's sabre art at the end of the day, while those two sabres just now belong to Yan Di himself."
"Ignoring the difference in strength between sabre arts for now, Yan Di's two sabres definitely surpass his Immeasurable Heavenly Sabre!"
An Qinglin sighed lightly, "Aside from the Heavenly Broad Creed Palm, the Immeasurable Heavenly Sabre and the Limitless Heavenly Sword, Broad Creed Mountain's fourth supreme martial art has been born."
Song Wuliang was silent before he sighed, "The sabre art he executed just now, in terms of ferocity and tyranny, is definitely number one in the history of the Eight Extremities World after the Great Calamity!"
"However, having just stepped into the Martial Saint realm, Yan Di will probably still be unable to defeat that Great Flame Devil King."
Song Wuliang's expression was rather worried, "His sabre art is too ferocious and violent such that even that Great Flame Devil King was wounded by it as soon as it appeared. However, if the battle continues for a long time, the situation will probably be disadvantageous to Yan Di."
Old Man Mo suddenly smiled, "Whatever the case, just based on those two sabres just now, he is currently the strongest person in the Eight Extremities World."
As soon as these words left his mouth, all the human martial practitioners present fell silent.
Huang Guanglie had not spoken a single word throughout as his gaze was focused on Yan Di within the air, not shifting away from him even for a moment.
Yan Di's spine was ramrod straight as he pointed his sabre at the Great Flame Devil King before him, his expression calm as he asked, "Do you all still have the strength to battle?"
Song Wuliang shook his head, "Even if we don't, we still have to."
After a short pause, Jing Zhong and the other Flame Devil Kings regained their wits, devils dancing wildly as blazing fire incinerated the heavens.
Yan Di said calmly, "Then let us fight."
