That fiery phoenix smashed apart the silhouette of the Kunpeng. Still, the Extreme Yang Seal descended, smashing him to the point of dizziness as he fell backwards in retreat.
Fortunately, he cultivated the Phoenix True Form Scroll, and with the addition of merit and fortuitous virtues, his defensive power was astonishing.
If it were King Xuanmu or Luo Zhiyuan, if they were caught off guard like this and suffered a blow from the Extreme Yang Seal head-on, they would definitely be badly battered.
Struck by the Extreme Yang Seal, the high-grade Sacred Artifact on his body was naturally triggered.
A streak of dark red light suffused the depths of the sea, enveloping the surroundings as it supported the Extreme Yang Seal.
A voice came from the flames, "No wonder. Is this what you're relying on?"
He would not allow others to covet the things that he had his eyes on. Anyone who dared to approach would be killed on the spot.
Yet, the other party was actually even more domineering and arrogant than him. He couldn't be bothered to make a move against a fourth level Martial Saint, sparing his life was one thing. Yet, the other party was instead unforgiving, actually daring to strike him, a sixth level Martial Saint, head-on?
At first, he was a little confused, but now he came back to his senses.
"What a treasure! This somewhat resembles the accompanying treasure of the Exalted Solar Luminary, the Extreme Yang Seal. Who are you to actually possess such a supreme treasure? You are the successor of the Exalted Solar Luminary? "
The fiery phoenix abruptly flapped its wings, a dark red glow sweeping towards the Extreme Yang Seal and the Northern Ocean Clone.
Yan Zhaoge did not answer as the Northern Ocean Clone borrowed the Earth Devouring Burner to bear the brunt of the other party's massive, vigorous force before barely suppressing his roiling qi and blood, his figure abruptly turning.
The silhouette of the Kunpeng condensed once more, expanding its extreme speed as it descended along with the Extreme Yang Seal. Instead, it overtook the fiery phoenix as it shot straight towards the bottom of the sea.
The fiery phoenix emitted a long cry, arriving before the Northern Ocean Clone in an instant.
While it was not as fast as the Northern Ocean Clone at the same cultivation level, it was still extremely ferocious.
"If you don't answer, don't blame me for being impolite and capturing you first!"
Amidst the phoenix's long cry, the other party said nonchalantly.
While he had been caught off-guard by the Extreme Yang Seal at the start, he had already stabilised his mind now.
Seeing Divinity Martial Saints were Seeing Divinity Martial Saints. They were destined to be unable to fully wield the power of high-grade Sacred Artifacts like Immortal Bridge Martial Saints, let alone a peak Sacred Artifact like the Extreme Yang Seal.
He similarly possessed a high-grade Sacred Artifact. While none of them were able to unleash their full power, he could also negate the threat posed by the Extreme Yang Seal.
After all, his cultivation base was higher, and he was just a step away from ascending the Immortal Bridge.
Without the threat of the Extreme Yang Seal, he wanted to see what else Yan Zhaoge could rely on.
Having caught up to him, Yan Zhaoge did not look back as he just laughed lightly, "The nature of a phoenix is noble and pure, not arrogant and domineering, domineering."
They were already very close to the bottom of the sea.
As far as Yan Zhaoge could see, he could even already see that dilapidated palace.
Its appearance was exactly the same as the image he had seen through the Earth Devouring Burner back then. It was just that it looked ordinary and dilapidated.
There was nothing special about it. It was like the ruins of an unremarkable palace that had long been destroyed.
It was not like what he had seen through the Earth Devouring Burner's projection back then. It possessed unique profundities that attracted everyone's attention, as if it could even suck in one's soul.
Seeing this palace, the Northern Ocean Clone suddenly threw the Earth Devouring Burner in his hand over there.
The seemingly inconspicuous black incense burner turned into a beam of black light that penetrated the whirlpool of the sea and went straight to the bottom of the sea.
After the Earth Devouring Burner entered the palace, the surrounding sea region suddenly became silent.
The sea, which had been surging with undercurrents and dancing electric snakes, seemed to have stopped for a moment.
The next moment, the great sea regained its original state, being swept along by Endless Magnetic Storms.
However, numerous black ripples suddenly emanated from that palace, expanding into the surroundings.
A jet-black stream of light shot upwards, drawing the surrounding Endless Magnetic Storms to converge towards the jet-black pillar of light as well!
Yan Zhaoge and that fiery phoenix were currently in the path of the jet-black light.
The Earth Devouring Burner appeared amidst the pillar of light, returning to the Northern Ocean Clone's hand.
The Northern Ocean Clone shot downwards towards the light. A hole appeared at the centre of the jet-black pillar of light, resembling a passageway as the Northern Ocean Clone shot downwards towards that palace.
An exclamation resounded from amidst the blazing fire, "You …"
Yan Zhaoge smiled, "What about me?"
The fiery phoenix wanted to head down as well. However, that hole had already vanished as the jet-black pillar of light contained a violent force as it mightily shot over towards him.
The fortuitous purple light and the thick earth of meritorious virtue appeared together, protecting the fiery phoenix.
That dark red treasured light appeared as well, blocking the jet-black stream of light.
After a while, the jet-black stream of light dissipated, an unprecedentedly massive whirlpool appearing at the bottom of the sea. A great amount of seawater was dispersed into the surroundings, forming a vacuum zone.
At the bottom of the whirlpool was precisely that dilapidated palace, its walls broken and dilapidated as it appeared ancient and desolate.
The palace was no longer as inconspicuous as it had been earlier. Instead, a strange suction force emanated from within, causing one to feel an uncontrollable desire to plunge into it.
Even Kang Ping and the others who were currently in the midst of battle were drawn over as they observed the sudden changes at the bottom of the sea with shock and uncertainty.
After a brief moment's hesitation, Luo Zhiyuan, Gu Hong and the others who were attempting to shake off Kang Ping's entanglement began moving downwards as well.
While the situation of the palace was unclear, however bad it was, it could not be any worse than it was now.
Making use of the chaos to shake off the experts of the Grand Xuan Dynasty was their top priority.
Yan Zhaoge had already arrived before them. That fiery phoenix no longer cared about Luo Zhiyuan and the others as it emitted a long cry, shooting towards the palace first.
The Northern Ocean Clone traversed the passageway at the centre of the jet-black pillar of light, descending all the way to the bottom of the sea.
That dilapidated palace appeared before Yan Zhaoge, the Earth Devouring Burner in his hands ringing lightly.
Gazing over, Yan Zhaoge saw the jet-black pillar of light gradually dissipating as that fiery phoenix descended towards the palace as well.
Other than that, there were powerful auras descending from even higher up in the region of sea as well. They should be Luo Zhiyuan, Kang Ping and the others.
Yan Zhaoge smiled, immediately turning and walking directly towards the dilapidated palace.
Still, just as he stepped into the palace, a chill suddenly arose within Yan Zhaoge's heart as a pair of eyes seemed to be staring intently at him.
Yan Zhaoge frowned, pausing for a moment before he continued striding forward, entering the palace.
The interior of the palace similarly appeared dilapidated, numerous runes of indecipherable meaning inscribed on its surface.
After carefully observing them, Yan Zhaoge felt that these runes did indeed resemble the inscriptions of the demon race somewhat.
However, from their foundation, it could still be seen that they should have been left behind by humans, yet the profundities of the demon race had been integrated within.
What Yan Zhaoge paid special attention to was that while the runes were incomplete, they still contained a complete concept within.
It was just that this concept appeared distorted as well as strange.
It seemed like the person who had left behind the runes had intentionally left this place in a dilapidated state, yet had instead achieved their desired goal.
It was just like how counterfeiters would intentionally make things look old.
Yan Zhaoge inhaled deeply, continuing forward, entering the depths of the palace.
Very quickly, fiery light surged outside the palace as a fiery phoenix descended before it.
The fiery light retracted, the figure of a young man who gazed gloomily at the palace before him. (To be continued.)
