Yan Zhaoge's figure flickered, his fingers shifting the universe, yin and yang circulating.
Zhang Chao's Purple Sun Wheel, which he had used all his strength to deflect, broke the leg of Kang Maosheng, who was working together against him.
Yan Zhaoge himself did not cease in his actions. After the Yin Yang Finger of his left hand had succeeded, the Glorious Rainbow Sword in his right hand carried an arc of destruction as it hacked towards Zhang Chao once more!
Zhang Chao's heart turned cold.
He could virtually foresee that making a move to block Yan Zhaoge's attack would most likely be useless.
His move would be strangely deflected by Yan Zhaoge, falling towards Kang Maosheng once more.
And Kang Maosheng's attack would fall on him.
It was as if they would never be able to attack Yan Zhaoge, only able to attack each other.
Even as they faced the other party's attack, they also had to face Yan Zhaoge's seemingly indestructible sword.
Forcefully enduring his injuries, Zhang Chao let out a long howl, his figure shifting to the side like the sun traversing the sky.
When executed by the Seeing Divinity Martial Saint Zhang Chao, the Sacred Sun Clan's Leap of the Rising Sun far surpassed that of other Sacred Sun Clan martial practitioners.
Still, guided by the qi, Yan Zhaoge's sword-light was even swifter as he chased after Zhang Chao, not giving him a chance to flee.
Having distanced himself from Kang Maosheng, Zhang Chao finally made a move, blocking Yan Zhaoge's sword.
However, an astonishing brilliance suddenly burst out from the sword light, and wisps of white Qi lingered within it.
Wherever the white sword energy went, the shadow of death immediately shrouded Zhang Chao's heart.
He, who had always been mentally stable, vaguely saw an illusory scene in front of him. It was the end of the world, the end of the world.
All things headed towards their end and destruction together. The heavens collapsed and the earth split apart. The seas dried up and the land was covered in flames. The entire Boundless Universe was destroyed together.
Zhang Chao groaned miserably. Blood spurted out from his injured left shoulder and left hand at the same time, burning in the air.
He forcibly twisted his body, using his left arm to receive Yan Zhaoge's sword.
At the instant he was struck, Zhang Chao's left arm exploded into a bloody mist.
He had broken his left arm of his own accord!
As his shattered left arm was twisted by Yan Zhaoge's sword-light, its flesh and blood instantly disintegrated.
The blood mist that filled the sky instantly dissipated.
His blood, tendons, and bones, which had been burning hot just a moment ago, were all shattered and turned into ashes.
How tough was the flesh and blood of a Seeing Divinity Martial Saint? Zhang Chao voluntarily abandoned his left arm. His flesh and blood exploded, forming a terrifying rain of blood.
If ordinary martial practitioners below the fourth level of the Martial Saint realm were to get too close, they would be directly blasted to death by this explosion.
However, this terrifying explosion was instantly dispelled into nothingness by Yan Zhaoge's sword-light. It seemed as if the sound of thunder was louder than the raindrops.
But when this scene landed in Zhang Chao and Kang Maosheng's eyes, it made their hearts sink to rock-bottom even more.
Zhang Chao's right hand clutched the bleeding wound on his left shoulder. His left hand had been severed at the shoulder.
"Who would've thought, who would've thought that I wouldn't die at Zhan Dongge's hands, but at the hands of his great-great disciples."
Zhang Chao gazed at Yan Zhaoge, "You still possess a supreme treasure like the Extreme Yang Seal."
"A pity, a pity. This old man did not want to provoke the Nine Underworlds back then, and did not take the risk to descend into the deep abyss of the Earth Domain. Otherwise, if this old man had obtained the Extreme Yang Seal that was used to suppress the crevice to the Nine Underworlds, everything would have been different afterwards."
Zhang Chao let out a long sigh. "It's a pity, a pity that there are no ifs in this world. I've worked hard for half my life, yet I've ended up in such a state. I really regret it!"
After that sword, Yan Zhaoge no longer looked at Zhang Chao. Instead, his expression changed slightly as he turned to look elsewhere.
Fiery light suddenly shot out from a passageway in the underground palace.
The cry of a phoenix resounded within the underground palace. While it was not as clear and bright as Meng Wan's, it appeared more authoritative and orthodox.
Gazing over, Yan Zhaoge saw that it was a fiery phoenix.
The fiery phoenix did not lunge towards Yan Zhaoge.
This was not an expert of the southern Blazing Heaven Territory who had come personally. Instead, he had created a puppet with the help of a secret technique, temporarily maintaining it with the strength of a Merging Avatar Martial Saint.
The fiery phoenix spread its wings, yet lunged towards an unexpected person.
Tang Yonghao!
Zhang Chao clashed with Yan Zhaoge and Meng Wan clashed with Feng Yunsheng. Tang Yonghao retreated to the side, Yan Zhaoge and Feng Yunsheng not attacking him.
While Tang Yonghao did not agree with Zhang Chao's decision to abandon the Radiant Light Sect and join the Grand Xuan Dynasty, he had not fled by himself that year as he had just stood quietly in the distance, waiting for the final conclusion of the great battle.
Now, Tang Yonghao was taken aback by the fiery phoenix that suddenly lunged towards him.
After a brief moment of shock, Tang Yonghao realised something, "Could it be because of that bone that I just obtained?"
The fiery phoenix was swift, its wings of flame instantly enveloping Tang Yonghao.
Blazing fire seemed like it wanted to incinerate Tang Yonghao into ashes.
While there was a great disparity between them, Tang Yonghao had no intention of submitting or begging for mercy as he straightened his spine and faced his powerful opponent head-on.
Stimulated by those flames, Tang Yonghao's body suddenly emitted a five-coloured light.
This sudden change surprised Yan Zhaoge, Zhang Chao, Meng Wan and Kang Maosheng.
The silhouette of a divine bird actually surfaced above Tang Yonghao's head.
The head of a chicken, the jaw of a swallow, the neck of a snake, the back of a turtle and the tail of a fish. It was clearly a phoenix!
This phoenix was surrounded by the five Virtues, the water ripples of holy virtue, the thick earth of meritorious virtue, the white qi of nether virtue and the blessed purple light of fortuitous virtue.
Yet, the dawn mist of moral virtue of black and white was tangible as it circulated unceasingly.
Seeing this, Yan Zhaoge was greatly taken aback, "I have never seen Tang Yonghao like this before."
Gazing over, he saw that there seemed to be an existence that flickered with radiance within Tang Yonghao's body.
The silhouette of the phoenix and the dawn mist of moral virtue both originated from there.
Tang Yonghao's body had yet to completely merge with it as they appeared to be independent of each other. It should be some external object of his, a supreme treasure.
The treasure had merged with Tang Yonghao's body, yet had yet to completely merge with it.
That fiery phoenix spoke in the human tongue, "This is something that belongs to me. What right and ability do you have to take it for yourself?"
He had not known of the existence of the Heaven Swallowing Sword Box earlier. The reason he had come to this underwater palace was precisely for this phoenix bone!
This phoenix bone contained the true intent of moral virtue as its value did not just lie in itself.
More importantly, it could make up for the deficiencies of his Phoenix True Form Scripture, its significance surpassing the heavens as its value even surpassed that of a high-grade Sacred Artifact!
Unexpectedly, it had been inadvertently obtained by Tang Yonghao after having entered the underwater palace, even unexpectedly merging with his body.
That fiery phoenix could not even be bothered with Yan Zhaoge now as blazing fire descended, enveloping Tang Yonghao's entire body.
The phoenix bone had already merged with Tang Yonghao's body, yet had yet to completely merge with it.
This fiery phoenix still had a single chance now, which was to refine Tang Yonghao along with the phoenix bone, shedding his mortal fleshly body and returning to its original appearance.
Virtue and virtue were the source of all arts, spreading virtue and spreading its laws to the world.
The black and white dawn mist of moral virtue enveloped Tang Yonghao's entire body, unceasingly reducing the blazing fire into harmless spiritual qi.
Still, the difference in their cultivation bases was too great as the blazing fire finally still gradually devoured him.
Seeing this, Meng Wan wanted to temporarily give up on Feng Yunsheng and charge towards that fiery phoenix. Yet, it was already a little too late.
Now, a sword-light flew over, the blazing fire instantly withering! (To be continued.)
