Yan Di was currently within the great hall, looking at an illusory scene of light within which the scenes of the west were changing.
Looking at that crimson fiery light that rapidly swept through the horizon, Yan Di asked, "Is this the Southern Exalt Zhuang Shen personally making a move?"
Yan Zhaoge said, "Aside from him, there is no one else in the southern Blazing Heaven Territory who possesses such momentum."
He crossed his arms before his chest, "By the same logic, if Cao Jie is unable to act on the southeastern Yang Heaven Territory's side, then no one will be able to stop him."
"If the Royal Reed Sea cannot be held, the defensive line of the southeastern Yang Heaven Territory can only be continuously pushed back."
Yan Zhaoge lightly rubbed his temples, "Still, the other side will definitely be insatiable, unceasingly venturing deeper, pursuing unceasingly until Golden Court Mountain is forced to hand over Tang Yonghao."
Tang Yonghao and that phoenix bone which contained the dawn mist of moral virtue were the most important targets of the southern Blazing Heaven Territory in the end. Everything else was secondary.
"Yes, they might even request for me to be handed over." Yan Zhaoge paused for a moment before continuing.
Yan Di asked, "You said earlier that you wanted to collapse the wound of the sky here in the Spirit Inheritance Region?"
Yan Zhaoge answered, "Time is a little tight, and I do not have much confidence now. If we cannot succeed, I will suppress my cultivation base and descend into the Eight Extremities World, guarding the entrance to the wound of the sky."
Everyone suppressed their cultivation bases and descended to a lower world. Even if the Southern Exalt Zhuang Shen personally pursued them, Yan Zhaoge would not mind it at all.
Yan Di did not speak as he looked quietly at the bright red western sky within the image.
The image suddenly shook, as if it was affected by an external force.
Then, the light and shadow quickly distorted and was finally destroyed.
Yan Zhaoge said in a heavy tone, "He's here."
The all-encompassing fiery light came from the southern Blazing Heaven Territory, rapidly engulfing the region where the two territories intersected before entering the westernmost border of the southeastern Yang Heaven Territory's Royal Reed Sea, the Clear Scenic Region that directly bordered the southern Blazing Heaven Territory.
In the seas of the Clear Scenic Region, the Endless Magnetic Storms were at their strongest.
The sky was filled with tornadoes that swept up the seawater below and rushed into the sky. Within the waterspout, terrifying electric currents were constantly jumping and flashing.
The entire Clear Scenic State was like a scene from hell.
However, with the arrival of the scarlet flame, the terrifying Endless Magnetic Storms calmed down in an instant.
The lightning dissipated, the storm stopped, and the seawater receded.
Only the scarlet fiery light engulfed the world, quickly passing over the Clear Scenic Continent.
The terrifying calamity of nature seemed to be trampled under the feet of this fiery light.
There were also numerous powerful auras on both sides that chased after that fiery crimson light, entering the territory of the Royal Reed Sea together.
Above the seas of the Clear Scenic Region and the Desert Mountain Region of the Royal Reed Sea, a massive vessel that was a thousand feet long hovered amidst the sky surrounded by multi-coloured light.
It was a Riding Wind Heavenly Vessel.
Standing on the boat, the few of them had solemn expressions as they looked at the approaching flames behind them.
Here were the head disciple of the Golden Court Eastern Mountain Exalt, the Shadow Mountain Sword King Lin Hanhua, as well as Mu Jun who was similarly a disciple of the Southeastern Exalt.
There were also three peak experts of the ninth level of the Martial Saint realm, the late Immortal Bridge stage.
One of them was a white-haired old woman who had a sword by her waist just like Lin Hanhua, Mu Jun and the others. The martial practitioners of the World beyond Worlds were used to addressing her as the Southeastern Swordsmistress.
She was of the same lineage as the Southeastern Exalt Cao Jie. Even if the Southeastern Exalt saw her, he would have to address her as senior apprentice-sister.
While her cultivation base had been surpassed by the younger Cao Jie, the Southeastern Swordsmistress was still one of the peak experts of the southeastern Yang Heaven Territory.
The other two experts of the ninth level of the Martial Saint realm were longtime Elders of the southeast who were on friendly terms with Golden Court Mountain. They had previously come to assist the Southeastern Swordsmistress, Lin Hanhua and the others.
In their great battle against the peak experts of the southern Blazing Heaven Territory earlier, they had vaguely gained the upper hand.
Yet, as the Southern Exalt Zhuang Shen had personally arrived, they of the southeastern Yang Heaven Territory could only helplessly retreat.
The all-encompassing fiery light transformed into a massive fiery phoenix in mid-air, its wings spreading as they obscured the heavens and concealed the sun.
As that fiery phoenix flapped its wings slightly, an all-encompassing rain of fire descended, directly enveloping Lin Hanhua, the Southeastern Swordsmistress and the others who were on the Riding Wind Heavenly Vessel.
"The Southern Exalt is really going too far," Seeing this, the Southeastern Swordsmistress did not waste time on words as she patted the sword by her waist, sword-light instantly shooting upwards.
At this moment, illuminated by the sword-light, it was as though numerous stars had gathered, causing this old woman's figure to appear ethereal and otherworldly.
Amidst the starlight, the white-haired old woman vanished. In her place was a tall, slender girl with handsome features and beautiful features.
She chopped out with her sword, where sword-light passed, a rift was instantly split open between the heavens and the earth. Specks of starlight flickered within the dark rift, resembling a river of stars.
The river of stars hung in mid-air, the fiery rain descending from above all landing within it, unceasingly clashing with the starlight.
The fiery light and the starlight were extinguished one after another, transforming into brilliant light.
The Southeastern Swordsmistress did not cease in her momentum as she guided her sword, the myriad starlight amidst the river of stars congregating together, incomparably dazzling as it shot straight towards the fiery phoenix in mid-air.
Her temperament was old and ruthless, sharp as a sword. Even when facing the Southern Exalt Zhuang Shen, she would still attack him as quickly as she could.
That fiery phoenix emitted a clear cry, its figure turning in mid-air.
Countless streams of fire transformed into a terrifying vortex of flames that hovered in mid-air.
That vortex resembled a terrifying eye that gazed indifferently down below, also resembling the massive mouth of a deep abyss that opened wide, wanting to devour all things.
The sword formed of starlight that pierced through the heavens and penetrated the earth was unceasingly whittled away as it entered the vortex of flames.
On the Riding Wind Heavenly Vessel, the other two late Immortal Bridge Martial Saints attacked simultaneously as well.
A beam of blue light soared into the sky. Everywhere it went, there was silence, and only a layer of frost was left.
Where the frost passed, not only did lifeforms wither, even space and time seemed to have come to a halt.
A massive golden hand was clenched into a fist, punching upwards.
Where the golden fist passed, space exploded unceasingly, the heavy force contained within directly suppressing the heavens and the earth and spacetime.
Whether it was the sword of the Swordsmistress or these two forces that had attacked afterwards, any one of them was superior to the Star Plucking Practitioner Guan Lide.
Ice-blue radiance and the massive golden fist simultaneously mightily struck that vortex of flames that was whittling away at the sword-light.
The vortex of flames distorted for a moment before finally shattering.
The fiery phoenix flew out from within, just that it was much weaker now.
Now, a streak of sword-light shot into the skies, directly hacking towards the fiery phoenix that was at the end of its tether!
The Shadow Mountain Sword King, Lin Hanhua!
While at the eighth level of the Martial Saint realm, he could challenge experts of the ninth level of the Martial Saint realm.
As the sword-light pierced into the body of the phoenix, the all-encompassing fiery light seemed to dim somewhat as a result.
The next moment, however, the flames lit up once more.
As though having undergone nirvanic rebirth, the fiery phoenix soared high into the horizon once more, the tongues of fire extending from its tail feathers even coiling around the sword in Lin Hanhua's hand as it was unable to advance or retreat.
The expressions of the Southeastern Swordsmistress and the others were all solemn.
Earlier, they had indeed been exchanging blows with their opponent.
However, what the other party had executed had merely been the profundities of the fiery phoenix.
The secrets of the Five Virtues were the true essence of the Phoenix True Form Scripture.
Their opponent had yet to get serious at all.
In the distance, the sea of flames dispersed as yet another Riding Wind Heavenly Vessel appeared.
That was the Riding Wind Heavenly Vessel that belonged to the southern Blazing Heaven Territory's Phoenix Ritual Mountain's Wutong Slope.
On the divine vessel, a figure sat calmly on a chair as he said mildly, "Just now, I gave each of you a chance to display your strengths as a form of greeting."
"Now, hand over Tang Yonghao and Yan Zhaoge to this Seat. Otherwise, this Seat will really bully your southeast."
