(PS: Two updates today, with an additional update tomorrow.)
The violent force tore apart Huang Guanglie's body.
Infinite radiance radiated from Huang Guanglie's body before it was extinguished, resembling the sun losing its light, returning to eternal darkness, also resembling a candle in the wind, finally extinguished.
It seemed extremely vast and heroic, yet also insignificant.
The East Coming Martial Saint who had once reigned supreme over the Eight Extremities World for many years, the 'Sun Rising East' Huang Guanglie, had perished on this East Sea today.
And the one who had slain him was a young man who was two generations younger than him, not yet thirty years of age.
Watching this scene from the side, Jade Sea City's City Lord Song Wuliang also felt a sense of loss amidst his joy.
His Jade Sea City had always been mortal enemies with the Sacred Sun Clan. Some years ago, the relationship between the two sides had been even worse than that between Broad Creed Mountain and the Sacred Sun Clan, truly being irreconcilable.
Having fought together for so many years, with some victories and some losses, Jade Sea City had been at a disadvantage overall.
However, Song Wuliang and all of Jade Sea City had been rather unyielding. Whether or not the Sacred Sun Clan was powerful, they had always been determined to fight it to the end.
In this process, Jade Sea City had also accomplished many impressive feats that were praised by the Eight Extremities World.
Song Wuliang was of the same generation as Yan Di, Fang Zhun, Huang Xu and Lin Tianfeng. While he was older and had started cultivating earlier, he was still the first of his generation to Transcend Mortality and enter Sainthood, achieving the Martial Saint realm.
Jade Sea City's disciple Chen Suting had been the Sacred Sun Clan's greatest stumbling block in obtaining the Extreme Yin Crown in their early years, even having pulled a tooth out of a tiger's mouth, winning the second Extreme Yin Bout and bringing the Extreme Yin Crown back to the Water Domain.
The Heavenly Thunder Hall, Turbid Wave Pavilion and Jade Sea City had all been competing to forge a Sacred Artifact that belonged to their Sacred Grounds. In the end, it had also been Jade Sea City who had been the first to successfully take this step, forging the Jade Sea Pill Heart Sword.
If not for the invasion of the Flame Devils, this would have caused the alliance of the Sacred Sun Clan and the Heavenly Thunder Hall to face danger even earlier.
Including their City Lord Song Wuliang, they would have been competing against the Sacred Sun Clan, unceasingly breaking through their limits and climbing upwards.
However, at this moment, he suddenly learnt that the Sacred Sun Clan had already been destroyed, and that the Sacred Sun Clan's final peak expert, their opponent who had always been a great foe to him, Huang Guanglie, had died right before his eyes, dying without any suspense at all. As a Martial Saint expert like Song Wuliang, he was unable to recover for a time.
The goal that he had been fighting for all this time had suddenly disappeared before he could truly achieve it. It was as if everything that had happened before was just a dream.
Now that the bubble had burst, it was like waking up from a dream. From a certain perspective, the blow to Song Wuliang and the martial practitioners of Jade Sea City was actually not much inferior to that of the Sacred Sun Clan and the Heavenly Thunder Hall having been exterminated.
And the instigator of all this was standing right in front of Song Wuliang.
Looking at Yan Zhaoge's overly young yet calm face, Song Wuliang's mind wavered slightly.
After confirming Huang Guanglie's death and confirming that there was no need to worry about the Seal of the East Sea down below, Song Wuliang greeted Yan Zhaoge and Yan Di before taking his leave.
He needed to return to his Jade Sea City and meet with the longtime Elders of his clan, properly considering where he should go in the Eight Extremities World in the days to come.
Their former allies were no longer allies.
While he wanted to compete with them, he could only feel powerless.
There didn't seem to be many choices left. However, Song Wuliang would have to think carefully about how he should go about it.
Yan Zhaoge and the others also generally knew that Song Wuliang's mind was probably in a mess right now. They naturally didn't urge him to stay.
Moreover, Yan Zhaoge and Yan Di were also overjoyed at their reunion.
This was especially so when Yan Zhaoge had used the Lofty Prestige Mirror to open up a temporary dimensional passageway and hide within in order to avoid being affected by the power of the seal. While Yan Di had seen this, he didn't know what the final outcome had been.
He didn't know if Yan Zhaoge had been able to safely avoid being harmed by the power of the seal, didn't know if Yan Zhaoge had been safe and sound in other worlds if he had been able to successfully hide there, didn't know when he would be able to return to the Eight Extremities World.
All these caused Yan Di to be incomparably worried. It was just that now, seeing Yan Zhaoge having returned safely, his strength having also improved greatly, Yan Di wouldn't voice out his previous worries.
He just heaved a sigh of relief, looking happily at his son, "It's good that you're safe and sound."
Yan Zhaoge, on the other hand, was unlike his usual self as he became long-winded, virtually narrating everything that had happened to him in the Vast Ocean World as well as his experiences after returning there in great detail.
Yan Di didn't have to open his mouth to ask about the many questions on his mind as Yan Zhaoge narrated them all in great detail. Along the way, there were even many times where Yan Di had asked for praise, causing the Yan Di who had set his heart at ease to instead pour cold water on him.
His son being sufficiently outstanding, Yan Di was overjoyed to the extreme. Yet, he instead didn't praise him, instead finding fault with him, only hoping that his son could be even more outstanding.
Hearing that Fu Enshu was similarly safe and sound and that Yan Zhaoge had even found Xu Fei and Shi Jun, Yan Di felt even more at ease.
Yan Di was not concerned about the possible future troubles that the Radiant Light Sect might bring, "We'll deal with them when they come. We'll make our own preparations. If they come again, we'll just have to fight them."
Yan Zhaoge smiled, "Precisely so."
Swivelling his head to the side, he saw Old Man Mo standing quietly amidst space, not having left.
Seeing Yan Zhaoge and Yan Di reunited and reminiscing about their parting, Old Man Mo smiled, "If you are free, why don't you come to this old man's Verdant Pill Island?"
Yan Zhaoge and Yan Di exchanged glances, both able to tell that there was more to Old Man Mo's words.
Old Man Mo had always been free and unfettered, never getting involved in the internal struggles of the Eight Extremities World's human martial practitioners.
While Broad Creed Mountain currently suppressed the Eight Extremities World and appeared to be the hegemon of the Eight Extremities World, Old Man Mo didn't necessarily have to ride on their coattails. Meanwhile, Yan Zhaoge and Yan Di similarly didn't have any thoughts of conquering Verdant Pill Island at the moment.
Old Man Mo issuing an unprecedentedly warm invitation now caused Yan Zhaoge to immediately feel that there was something more to it.
"In order to support your fellow humans of the Eight Extremities World, your clan has always spared no effort in battling the Flame Devils and the Nine Underworlds, not fearing sacrifice. This has always been the same ever since the era of Zhan Hantian. This old man has always admired it."
Old Man Mo seemed to know the doubts within the hearts of Yan Zhaoge and Yan Di as he smiled, "This old man heard Little Friend Yan mention just now that the Sacred Sun Clan's backer in the World beyond Worlds is the Radiant Light Sect? And the experts of the Radiant Light Sect who descended to the Eight Extremities World this time were all slain by Little Friend Yan? "
Yan Zhaoge smiled, "I have let you see a joke."
Old Man Mo shook his head, "This old man is not doubting Little Friend Yan's words. In truth, I am grateful."
Yan Zhaoge's gaze flickered as he thought of a possibility, focusing his gaze on Old Man Mo, "Could it be that you …"
Old Man Mo smiled and nodded, saying slowly, "This old man also hails from the World beyond Worlds. Still, after so many years, I feel more that I am of the Eight Extremities World."
The old man sighed lightly, "The reason this old man went into hiding was actually more to avoid trouble."
Yan Zhaoge and Yan Di realised, "Because of the Radiant Light Sect."
Old Man Mo said, "That's right."
He looked at the two, "Your future prospects are limitless. The Eight Extremities World is just your starting point. I believe that you will definitely go to the World beyond Worlds in the future. And now that you have come into conflict with the Radiant Light Sect, this old man has some words here, some things that might be of some help."
