(PS: Today's third update is for Piao Hong of the 'Six Daos Susu' Alliance.)
Qing Shuzi had been renowned for a long time as he was publicly acclaimed as one of the few experts of the ninth level of the Martial Saint realm of the World beyond Worlds who were most likely to attain the Human Exalt stage.
His strength had long since been widely acknowledged as a heaven-defying genius who stood at the forefront of his peers.
While martial practitioners were never convinced by others, be it Peng He or Zhang Shuren, they both admitted that Qing Shuzi's chances of victory were greater if they were enemies.
Still, if they really fought, victory or defeat, they would have to experience a major battle at the very least in order to see who was superior.
Zhang Shuren and Peng He of Phoenix Ritual Mountain's Wutong Slope who were both late Immortal Bridge Martial Saints were confident in this.
Yet, never would they have thought that Qing Shuzi would actually have successfully cultivated in the supreme martial art of the lineage of the Primordial Suppressing Immortal's Five Manor Locale, the Heaven Earth Within Sleeve, before having attained the Human Exalt realm!
This meant that if they were to face Qing Shuzi unknowingly, they might very well be taken in by the Heaven Earth Within Sleeve in a single move!
Granted, having been taken in by the Heaven Earth Within Sleeve did not mean that Qing Shuzi could casually capture or kill them.
It was not like he was capturing them alive, instead temporarily sealing them.
While the chances of those who had been taken in by the Heaven Earth Within Sleeve were rather low, it was not as if they could not escape at all.
It was just that even if they could, they would really have lost all face.
Moreover, with Qing Shuzi having successfully taken them in by the Heaven Earth Within Sleeve, he had indisputably gained a great advantage as he had countless methods to expand his battle results and completely defeat his opponents.
What shocked Zhang Shuren and Peng He was that Qing Shuzi who had already been renowned throughout the World beyond Worlds and whom everyone looked up to had actually still held back, having yet to display his full flair.
He had already suppressed countless other geniuses, being a genius amongst geniuses. Who knew that this was actually still not his limit?
If not for Yan Zhaoge's Nine Bends Yellow River Formation today, no one would probably know how great this head disciple of the Heaven Emperor truly was.
Even Yan Zhaoge was taken aback by Qing Shuzi's actions as his eyes lit up.
This was a true Immortal technique, a peak martial art that was renowned even in the entire history of Daoism.
Qing Shuzi had only just grasped the basics of it after successfully cultivating it.
It was more than enough for him to run amok in the Martial Saint Realm. It would be hard for him to meet a worthy opponent in the same realm!
"Good!" Yan Zhaoge cheered.
His hand, which had previously grabbed at Qing Shuzi's sleeve, was now about to be sucked into the space-time turbulence.
Caught off guard, Yan Zhaoge momentarily lost the initiative.
He took a deep breath. His eyes were filled with chaos.
As the acupoints in his body opened and closed, one mass of chaotic energy after another appeared indistinctly.
At this moment, the acupoints within Yan Zhaoge's body no longer resembled numerous stars, instead resembling clumps of chaos.
Before the starry sky of the universe appeared, before the world was created, there was no left, no right, no front, no back, no up, no down.
Surrounding Yan Zhaoge's outstretched palm, twelve wheels of light simultaneously appeared, floating and sinking as they rotated unceasingly.
As the wheel of light rose and fell, light and darkness gradually merged.
It was not bright, but it was not dark either.
The world was blurry and hazy.
Possessing the Peerless Heavenly Scripture on the inside and the Dim Radiant Twelve Arts on the outside, Yan Zhaoge's fist force revealed some signs of chaos amidst the interlacing of light and darkness.
Space was locked down by Yan Zhaoge at this moment. His body which had originally already been shaken and was about to be sucked into Qing Shuzi's sleeve stabilised itself once more.
The bit of initiative that Qing Shuzi had seized by relying on the Universe Within the Sleeve to launch a surprise attack was lost just like that.
As soon as Yan Zhaoge released it, the mass of qi that resembled chaos within his body vanished.
On his palm, a water-like radiance circulated. Everywhere it passed, the scenery of the world turned pale.
The next moment, the water currents flowed in reverse. Making use of this chance, Yan Zhaoge extricated his hand that had been bound by Qing Shuzi's sleeve!
Zhang Shuren, Peng He, and Qing Shuzi felt as if time was being reversed before their eyes.
"Dim Radiant Twelve Arts, Aeon Light Heavenly Scripture!" The three of them simultaneously felt a chill in their hearts, "He can actually avoid the Heaven Earth Within Sleeve like this?"
Zhang Shuren and Peng He rushed forward, not letting Qing Shuzi face Yan Zhaoge alone.
As time passed, the erosion of the Yellow River of Nine Bends Formation became more and more severe.
If they could not end the battle quickly, even without Yan Zhaoge making a move, they would all feel ashamed of themselves.
However, Yan Zhaoge now let out a long breath, retracting his palm, abruptly flipping it over!
The Cyclic Heavenly Seal reappeared. This time, Yan Zhaoge focused on intent rather than power.
With a single palm strike, the situation was reversed, and Qing Shuzi was directly forced into retreat.
At the same time, the Extreme Yang Seal reappeared above Yan Zhaoge's head, mightily slamming down towards Zhang Shuren and Peng He.
Zhang Shuren raised his palms, resisting with all his might. Yet, he was directly knocked down from mid-air by the Extreme Yang Seal, smashing into the surging waters of the yellow river down below!
Then, Yan Zhaoge's dark green bamboo cane mightily descended, sending the Blazing Flame Sabre directly flying out of Peng He's hands.
As he struck out with a palm, Peng He barely managed to resist it.
Yet, Yan Zhaoge immediately kicked out again, instantly sending this longtime Elder of Wutong Slope flying backwards.
Qing Shuzi attacked once more.
Still, Yan Zhaoge was prepared this time. His figure spun, his speed swift as he instantly arrived before Qing Shuzi.
He bent his elbow before striking towards Qing Shuzi's heart.
Qing Shuzi could only helplessly retreat.
Still, this head disciple of the Heaven Emperor was not someone easy to deal with at the end of the day as his eyes suddenly lit up.
The next moment, Qing Shuzi's gaze directly transformed into two yellow earthen sword-lights, piercing towards Yan Zhaoge's eyes just inches away.
Illusory Coming Peak's direct lineage, Primordial Earth Golden Eyes Sword!
The Heaven Emperor was proficient in the variations of space and time, his disciples all possessing outstanding movement techniques as they were renowned throughout the entire World beyond Worlds.
As soon as Yan Zhaoge got close, he wouldn't give his opponent a chance to pull apart the distance between them once more.
Faced with Qing Shuzi's Golden Eyes of Earth Sword, he did not dodge or evade. Purple lightning flashed in his eyes.
Similarly, a bolt of An Instant's Divine Thunder blasted straight at Qing Shuzi!
The lightning and the sword light intersected in mid-air, and the violent lightning instantly shattered the earthy yellow sword light!
Having gained the upper hand, Yan Zhaoge simultaneously grabbed Qing Shuzi's arm with both hands.
He grabbed his wrist with one hand and his shoulder with the other.
Qing Shuzi's expression changed greatly as he tried to break free. Yet, he was suppressed and whittled down by the Nine Bends Yellow River Formation, completely unable to stand against Yan Zhaoge's strength as he was unable to break free from Yan Zhaoge's grasp.
Grabbing the other party with both hands, Yan Zhaoge circulated the concept of the Cyclic Heavenly Scripture that could overturn the heavens and earth.
Two tremendous distorting forces, coming from completely opposite directions, were simultaneously exerted on Qing Shuzi's arm.
A lofty late Immortal Bridge Martial Saint with an incomparably powerful fleshly body had had one of his arms directly twisted off by Yan Zhaoge in the end!
"Ah!" Qing Shuzi growled.
One of his arms had been forcibly ripped off from his shoulder by Yan Zhaoge, separated from his body!
As soon as it left his body and became an independent existence, that arm appeared incomparably fragile to Yan Zhaoge's strength.
Beneath the crushing force that resembled the axis of a millstone, Qing Shuzi could only watch helplessly as that severed arm was reduced to mush of flesh and blood in mid-air!
"Yan! Zhao! Ge! "
A loud roar now resounded from the other side.
As Yan Zhaoge gazed back, a black shadow obscured the light before him.
Wielded by Peng He, the massive Riding Wind Heavenly Vessel that was wreathed in flames was already right before his eyes.
Peng He roared madly, controlling the Riding Wind Heavenly Vessel to slam straight towards Yan Zhaoge's head!
The massive divine vessel was like an elephant rushing towards an ant when compared to Yan Zhaoge who was the size of a human!
"Ha!" Yan Zhaoge stood proudly where he was, not moving as he turned and punched out with a palm!
At the first instant of contact.
The great vessel that resembled the pressure of Mount Tai was directly halted where it was by Yan Zhaoge, unable to move at all!
At the second instant of contact.
Where the Riding Wind Heavenly Vessel had come into contact with Yan Zhaoge's palm, it mightily shattered as a large hole was split open!
