While Yan Zhaoge was smiling, Xiang Yiyang and the others all felt a chill run down their spines.
His reputation of not dying against opponents of the same cultivation level would be preserved forever.
If he were to die today at the hands of Yan Zhaoge who was a cultivation level lower than him, wouldn't that mean that he would truly never be killed again by opponents of the same cultivation level?
"Some people might think that since you were able to receive a palm of mine in such a situation, I might as well spare your life," Yan Zhaoge curled his lips, "Still, I don't think that way."
"It would be fine if there are no major conflicts between us. Still, when dealing with enemies, my goal has always been that there is nothing that cannot be resolved with a single palm. If there is, we can just use another palm."
With that, he raised his palm, directly executing yet another Cyclic Heavenly Seal.
With a 'bang', the powerless struggling Xiang Yiyang was slammed into the centre of the earth by Yan Zhaoge's palm, not even his bones remaining.
Seeing this, that Clear Light Locale martial practitioner of the fifth level of the Martial Saint realm felt helpless as his mouth was filled with bitterness.
In truth, besides that middle-aged man of the late Seeing Divinity stage, Xiang Yiyang was actually the second strongest expert of their group this time.
While his cultivation base was higher, in actual combat, Xiang Yiyang of the fourth level of the Martial Saint realm was stronger.
As the descendant of the younger generation that the Eastern Exalt thought most highly of, Xiang Yiyang's potential and status were extraordinary even amongst fellow disciples of Clear Light Locale.
While he was not renowned beneath the heavens like the Grand Red Lotus Fu Ting, Xiang Yiyang was similarly a renowned genius of the entire World beyond Worlds.
Even as he presided proudly over the eastern Vast Heaven Territory, experts of other lands were also aware of his name.
In terms of attack, defence, speed and so on, he might not be the strongest.
Still, in terms of vitality and recovery speed after being injured, Xiang Yiyang who possessed the Withered Wood Receives Spring Body and cultivated in the Longevity Martial Scripture could virtually be said to be a peak existence amongst martial practitioners of the same cultivation level.
In his past experiences, he had relied on his powerful recovery abilities to forcibly wear down countless experts whose offensive and defensive abilities were superior to his, even bringing down many opponents whose cultivation bases were higher than his.
This was also why Yan Zhaoge had not been able to kill Xiang Yiyang with a single sword when he had feigned death earlier.
This was also why he had dared to execute such a risky plan, forcibly taking a blow from Yan Zhaoge's Cyclic Heavenly Seal.
Sadly, his killing blow had been dispelled by Yan Zhaoge.
However strong his vitality and regenerative abilities were, it would still be impossible for him to quickly recover after suffering a single Cyclic Heavenly Seal from Yan Zhaoge.
With that, if Yan Zhaoge unleashed a second palm, Xiang Yiyang would only be able to close his eyes and await death.
He had not been killed by an opponent of the same cultivation level, nor had he been killed by an opponent with a higher cultivation base than him. Instead, he had died at the hands of Yan Zhaoge who was a cultivation level lower than him.
Xiang Yi died with everlasting regret.
Yan Zhaoge smiled as he kept that fragment of the Eye of the Thunder Emperor that had fallen into a deep slumber, "It's even larger than mine; you should have already swallowed and fused with quite a few smaller fragments earlier. You should have spent quite a bit of effort in gathering this treasure; I should be thanking you for saving me quite a bit of effort."
He kept the thunder orb before turning and lunging towards that middle-aged man of the sixth level of the Martial Saint realm.
The other party had already long since wanted to retreat and flee, just that he was helpless that his speed was inferior to the Northern Ocean Clone's.
A bright moon rose in the foreign space, and endless clear splendor sprinkled down on heaven and earth.
This time, Feng Yunsheng did not wield the Cold Sun Divine Sabre as she instead wielded the Extreme Yin Crown in battle, taking on that Clear Light Locale martial practitioner of the fifth level of the Martial Saint realm for Yan Zhaoge.
The roar of a dragon resounded as a light dragon of black and white descended from the solitary moon in the sky, instantly obstructing that Clear Light Locale martial practitioner.
Meanwhile, Yan Zhaoge and the Northern Ocean Clone moved in unison, causing that middle-aged man of the sixth level of the Martial Saint realm to fall into an even more disadvantageous position.
With the rain of light formed of the spirit flags vanishing, everyone being able to wield their accompanying treasures would only be more beneficial to Yan Zhaoge.
If not for the fact that he had to capture this opponent who had the highest cultivation base and was likely to possess the most information, Yan Zhaoge would have ended the battle even more quickly.
In terms of the style and characteristics of the martial arts they cultivated in, martial practitioners of the Longevity Martial Scripture were exceedingly stable, lacking in initiative.
Against such an opponent, Yan Zhaoge would be hard pressed to end the battle quickly. Still, it would not be hard for him to achieve victory.
If it were an opponent like Lin Hanhua or Fu Ting who was at the Seeing Divinity stage, the battle would be very dangerous as it would be either one of them or the other.
Because Xiang Yiyang simultaneously possessed the Eye of the Thunder Emperor fragment and the Withered Wood Gives Spring Body, he was rather special.
Compared to his fellow disciples, he had the capital to go all out.
It was only Yan Zhaoge who had been able to resolve his meticulously prepared final killing blow without any mishaps.
If it were Fu Ting, if she had not been able to draw on the Phoenix Woven Brocade to protect herself in time, she might have suffered a setback.
Meanwhile, while Fu Ting was able to defeat an opponent of the fourth level of the Martial Saint realm who cultivated in the Longevity Martial Scripture, it was still insufficient to force Xiang Yiyang who possessed the Withered Wood Gives Spring Body into a perilous situation like Yan Zhaoge had.
However, if it were Fu Ting who had attained the fourth level of the Martial Saint realm, the Seeing Divinity stage, the threat she posed to Yan Zhaoge would be even greater than that of Xiang Yiyang.
After Yan Zhaoge had successfully suppressed his opponent with the help of the Evil Sword Taotie and the Heaven Swallowing Earth Devouring Box, he had once again assisted Feng Yunsheng in dealing with that remaining Clear Light Locale martial practitioner of the fifth level of the Martial Saint realm.
As the battle neared its end, Yan Zhaoge did not let his guard down.
After he had taken care of Li Cheng and the others who were guarding the dimensional passageway entrance, before entering, he had casually set up a small mechanism, leaving it in the heavens and earth of the World beyond Worlds outside the dimensional passageway entrance.
At this moment, Yan Zhaoge acutely sensed that the mechanism he had left behind had vanished.
The mechanism had originally been there to serve as a warning. Now, however, it had vanished without any warning whatsoever, as if it had never existed in the first place.
It had not been able to inform Yan Zhaoge of any information, nor had it been able to slow or obstruct him in the slightest as it had simply vanished into thin air just like that.
Still, this phenomenon in itself had already informed Yan Zhaoge of many important pieces of information.
Someone was approaching with an extremely high cultivation base!
The newcomer had not been intending to destroy the mechanism Yan Zhaoge had left behind. Still, just the act of his arrival had caused a change in the heavens and earth around the dimensional passageway entrance, causing the mechanism to be hard pressed to maintain as it had naturally perished.
Someone with such a cultivation base had to be an expert on the level of the Shadow Mountain Sword King Lin Hanhua at the very least. Even if they were not at the same cultivation base, they should at least possess equivalent strength.
Considering Lin Hanhua's domineering strength that was unparalleled amongst those at the same cultivation level, the newcomer's cultivation base might be even higher.
This was a low estimate. If one were to look up, it could be any level higher.
Yan Zhaoge smacked his lips, "While I don't want to drift amidst the chaotic flows of space again, if there really is no other way, I can only try again."
As he thought this, Yan Zhaoge began setting up a formation within this foreign dimension which was similar to the Prime Earth Reversal Formation that Qi Wei had previously set up.
When necessary, he could make use of this formation to collapse space, forcibly ripping open a spatial crevice within this foreign dimension so that Yan Zhaoge would not have to walk through the dimensional passageway entrance that he had entered from earlier as he left this place.
Still, just as Yan Zhaoge was setting up the formation, he felt intense tremors emanating from the entrance of the dimensional passageway.
It was not that someone had entered. Instead, a great battle was currently unfolding between the heavens and earth of the World beyond Worlds outside the dimensional passageway.
The intensity of that battle caused even Yan Zhaoge and the others who were within the foreign dimension to be affected as it was as though they were being tossed about amidst tempestuous waves. (To be continued.)
