In the Eight Extremities World, the experts of the human race congregated in the East Sea, battling the Flame Devils.
In the end, this battle ended with Broad Creed Mountain's Chief Yan Di, the Painting Saint Old Man Mo, the Sacred Sun Clan's Grand Elder Huang Guanglie and the Lord of Jade Sea City Song Wuliang joining hands to execute the Taiyi Imperial Breaking Formation, sealing the Flame Devils as well as the dimensional passageway leading to the Flame Devil World.
The human martial practitioners rejoiced. Not only had they slain a great number of Flame Devil experts in this battle, they had even had the chance to seal the dimensional passageway. For a considerably long period of time, the Flame Devils would no longer be able to pose a threat to the Eight Extremities World.
The calamity of the Flame Devils that had lasted for many years had been largely resolved this time.
The Taiyi Imperial Breaking Formation which suppressed and sealed the Flame Devils originated from Broad Creed Mountain.
Still, in this great battle, the human martial practitioners had similarly paid a considerable price. The one who drew the most attention was the current number one Heaven's favoured son of the Eight Extremities World's younger generation, the Great Riding of Dragons Yan Zhaoge.
While the Taiyi Imperial Breaking Formation could suppress and seal the Flame Devils, when the seal was formed, it would also form a massive destructive force inside and outside the formation.
Those below the Martial Saint Realm would not be spared.
Yan Zhaoge had also been within the formation at the time. For some reason, he had not been able to retreat in time. After the seal of the East Sea had been completed, he had not appeared again.
Searching carefully, not being able to find Yan Zhaoge's traces, everyone's hearts all grew heavy.
Logically speaking, things did not bode well for Yan Zhaoge as he was likely to have been affected by the seal and perished in this incomparable battle.
Those of Broad Creed Mountain were naturally greatly despondent. Those of the clan had never given up on their efforts to find Yan Zhaoge, but as time slowly passed, they had never found anything at all. The hope in their eyes also grew dimmer and dimmer.
And other than Yan Zhaoge, the higher echelon experts of Broad Creed Mountain as well as Fu Enshu had also been swept within the range of the seal.
As a result, right after the great battle had ended, conflict erupted between Broad Creed Mountain and the Sacred Sun Clan, the two sides nearly having a great battle in the East Sea.
Fu Enshu's disciples, Feng Yunsheng and Yin Liuhua, reported to the clan together that in the midst of the Seal of the East Sea, peak experts of the Sacred Sun Clan had suddenly launched a sneak attack on them, causing Fu Enshu to be swept into the seal.
Both sides were at loggerheads, and it was during this time that something big happened.
In the great battle with the Flame Devils earlier, Infinite Boundless Mountain's Chief Chu Yan had been heavily injured and had returned to the Mountain to recuperate, temporarily entrusting their clan's Sacred Artifact, the Heaven Cleaving Axe, to their clan's Grand Elder Li Jingtu.
While the Heaven Cleaving Axe had also suffered heavy injuries, in order to deal with the Flame Devils' attacks, Li Jingtu had still brought the Heaven Cleaving Axe with him in the East Sea.
In the end, after the seal had been formed, chaos ensued. By the time the situation had gradually settled down, the other Infinite Boundless Mountain martial practitioners shockingly discovered that their Elder Li had been killed.
Meanwhile, the Sacred Artifact, the Heaven Cleaving Axe, had actually fallen into the hands of the Sacred Sun Clan.
For a time, the Eight Extremities World was in an uproar.
While the Heaven Cleaving Axe had been damaged, with the Extreme Yin Crown and the Heaven Cleaving Axe in their hands, the Sacred Sun Clan's momentum surged.
Yan Di, Old Man Mo, Song Wuliang and the others were all temporarily trapped within the Seal of the East Sea. What caused the hearts of Broad Creed Mountain, Jade Sea City and Infinite Boundless Mountain to be even heavier was the fact that the Lord of the Heavenly Thunder Hall, Shen Li, had appeared, still allied with the Sacred Sun Clan.
Even Turbid Wave Pavilion's Pavilion Master, An Qinglin, was wary of the two clans joining hands.
Broad Creed Mountain was especially stifled, because news from the Earth Domain said that while the threat of the invasion of the Nine Underworlds had already been resolved, their Grand Elder, the 'Heaven Equalling Saint' Yuan Zhengfeng, had similarly been lost amidst the chaotic flows of space, his whereabouts unknown.
And this was largely because the Lord of the Heavenly Thunder Hall, Shen Li, had fled in the face of danger.
Even as Broad Creed Mountain denounced Shen Li for fleeing in the face of danger, Shen Li also made a countercharge, claiming that in the process of preventing the descent of the Nine Underworlds, Broad Creed Mountain's Yan Zhaoge had been greedy and touched a rare treasure within the Earth Domain, causing the seal to collapse and nearly allowing the devils to succeed.
In the end, it had been him, Shen Li, who had been able to successfully seal the crevice to the Nine Underworlds, preventing the descent of the true devils.
Broad Creed Mountain was naturally unconvinced, but the Eight Extremities World martial practitioners who had been in the Earth Domain at the time had virtually all died in battle.
Of those who had returned from the Earth Domain, Fang Zhun was heavily injured and unconscious, while Yan Zhaoge's fate was also unknown, having vanished without a trace. The only one who could speak openly was actually Shen Li alone.
As a result, even if Broad Creed Mountain retaliated, it would also appear rather weak and powerless. The mutual accusations between the two sides gradually became a quagmire where right and wrong could not be distinguished.
The attacks of the Flame Devils and the Nine Underworlds were simultaneously suppressed, the entire universe of the Eight Extremities World cleared up as the external threat was resolved.
However, the overall situation of the world did not relax as the smell of gunpowder filled the air between the Sacred Grounds.
Due to the great battle with the Flame Devils and the Nine Underworlds, the strength of all the Sacred Grounds had been severely damaged. Even the Sacred Sun Clan's newly obtained Heaven Cleaving Axe had been damaged, and Meng Wan who wielded the Extreme Yin Crown had similarly been injured in battle with the Flame Devils.
Even as the various Sacred Grounds unceasingly attacked each other, they were also making use of this time to heal their wounds, accumulating their strength once more.
"Junior apprentice-niece Feng, your injuries are already fine, and there will not be any negative side effects."
Within Broad Creed Mountain, Elder Feng Chi said as he looked at Feng Yunsheng, "It will also not affect your cultivation from now on."
Feng Yunsheng nodded, then asked, "What about junior apprentice-sister Yin?"
Feng Chi said, "She is also fine. The two of you only have superficial wounds."
Feng Yunsheng bowed towards Feng Chi, "Thank you, senior apprentice-uncle Feng."
The son of Feng Chi beside her, Feng Moyang, handed over a small white jade bottle, "Take one pill a day for three days."
"Thank you, senior apprentice-brother Feng." Feng Yunsheng received it, as Feng Moyang said, "I believe that Zhaoge and senior apprentice-aunt Fu will be blessed by the heavens. There is no need to worry too much. If they knew that you and junior apprentice-sister Yin are safe and sound, they would also be happy."
Feng Yunsheng nodded, not speaking.
Feng Moyang looked at Feng Yunsheng, "In the seventh Extreme Yin Bout, I will first congratulate junior apprentice-sister Feng for dominating all others and returning with the moon."
Hearing his words, Feng Yunsheng's gaze lit up. She did not say anything like 'I will try my best' or 'do my best' as she just nodded solemnly, "I will win."
There was no arrogance or complacency, also no fear and trepidation as she was stable as the great earth, firm as a mountain rock.
Feng Chi also said, "This child, not afraid of burdens, this old man is also not afraid of adding to your pressure. It's all up to you this time."
"I will borrow senior apprentice-uncle's auspicious words." Feng Yunsheng took her leave of Feng Chi and Feng Moyang. After exiting, she saw Sikong Qing and Ying Longtu both waiting there.
Feng Yunsheng first nodded towards them, indicating that her injuries were already no longer a problem.
As the three travelled together, Sikong Qing was the first to speak, "Will the Sacred Sun Clan detain the Extreme Yin Crown and abolish the Extreme Yin Bout just like this?"
Feng Yunsheng said, "They won't. That would completely push Turbid Wave Pavilion towards our clan, and the Heavenly Thunder Hall might not be willing as well. While the Sacred Sun Clan has obtained the Heaven Cleaving Axe, they are still far from being able to reign supreme over us."
Sikong Qing nodded, a cold light flickering within her clear eyes, "That's good then."
Feng Yunsheng sucked in a deep breath, "Right, very good."
Before her eyes, one face after another surfaced. There was that of her Master Fu Enshu, that of her Grand Master Yuan Zhengfeng …
Finally, it stopped on Yan Zhaoge's smiling face that appeared to be composed and orderly on the surface, yet was actually ostentatiously cocky. (To be continued.)
