While manifesting the Golden Body of the Great Sage was impressive, it wasn’t something that could be done at any time.
He had consumed too much energy before, so he would need to recuperate for a long time. The more energy he consumed, the shorter the duration he could last, and the longer he needed to recuperate.
In the past few decades, the North Ocean Clone, Xue Fei, and Pan-Pan had been refining the Golden Body of the Great Sage that was compatible with them. Under the influence of each other, the Golden Body of the Great Sage was manifested.
However, combining the three bodies into one to manifest the true body of the Great Sage, Heaven’s Equal and brandishing the Ruyi Jingu Bang with all his might was still extremely exhausting.
“It should be fine for me to last through this battle,” As Yan Zhaoge said this, he looked left and right, inspecting the environment of the sea of light before him.
He took out the lump of flesh that looked like a severed arm. The flames on it condensed into a line, burning ceaselessly but in an orderly manner.
Yan Zhaoge lightly tapped on the flame.
The line of fire swayed, and finally, it could no longer maintain its stability. It expanded in all directions, instantly becoming blazing and exuberant, engulfing the mass of flesh and blood that resembled a human hand.
The fragments of the Flipping Sky Seal buried in his flesh and blood shone brightly, as if they were about to be ignited.
Yan Zhaoge released his grip lightly, blazing fire drifting into the mist of light that resembled an ocean before him.
Xue Fei took off the wineskin hanging on his waist, pulled out the cork, and raised his head to take two gulps. As he drank, he calmly watched the scene in front of him.
The mist of light also began to burn, forming balls of light that spread into the surroundings.
At this moment, the sea of light seemed to be boiling, and it kept surging.
At this moment, rays of light suddenly flashed from different directions.
More than one terrifying existence descended upon this part of the universe at the same time.
Just one of them was already suffocating. At this moment, with so many experts here, there was no need for them to make a move. The solidified atmosphere almost directly tore the light fog apart.
They had already clashed with each other, neither giving way to the other, causing the atmosphere to become extremely oppressive.
However, both sides did not immediately erupt into a huge conflict, but first set their sights on finding the Zhu Xian ancient sword.
As a result, layers of strange phenomena appeared, as if flowers were falling from the sky, covering the void.
“They’ve indeed all caught up,” A hint of a smile appeared at the corners of Yan Zhaoge’s mouth as he looked at Xu Fei.
Xue Fei also smiled and put away the wineskin, hanging it back on his waist.
The light mist above their heads was torn apart, and a terrifying aura instantly pressed down, as if the sky was collapsing.
However, as the figures of Yan Zhaoge’s Northern Ocean Clone, Xu Fei and Pan-Pan all shook, all-encompassing golden light shooting straight into the sky.
Under the illumination of the light, the three mountain-like giant apes manifested their huge bodies. Like pillars supporting the sky, they once again propped up the falling sky.
Demonic Qi filled the air. Illuminated by the radiance of the Golden Body of the Great Sage, the existences in the void gradually revealed their true forms. They were no longer as difficult to observe and describe as before.
The first to bear the brunt were Immortal Qiu Shou, Immortal Spirit Tooth, and the Sword Master of the Six Paths, Qu Su.
The person accompanying the three of them was a Greater Demon. He was clad in armor and wielded a trident. His face was dark as he stared at the three Golden Bodies of the Great Sage thoughtfully.
Other than the four of them, there were two other silhouettes on the other side. While staring at Yan Zhaoge and the others, they were also wary of Qu Su, Qiu Shou Immortal, and the others.
Of the two silhouettes, one was a Buddha sitting on a green lotus. His body was blue, and his right hand held a treasured pennant on his left shoulder, while his left hand held the Dhyana Seal.
The other was a youth with three heads and six arms, and a vertical eye on his forehead.
Three Demon Race Great Sages, one was a Buddha who attained enlightenment, one was a Grand Heavenly Realm heretic, and one was an Immortal Court heretic Heavenly Immortal.
A total of six Grand Heavenly Realm experts descended upon this place.
Just the collisions of their powers, which they intentionally restrained, was enough to cause the space here to feel as if it was being torn apart.
However, when they descended upon this place, they all frowned.
“… The Immortal Exterminating Sword isn’t here!” Immortal Qiu Shou extended his head and said with a hint of frustration.
Qu Su flipped his wrist, and a small portion of the Cyclic Heavenly Seal was held in his palm. Golden-red fiery radiance flickered on its surface.
On the other side, the three-eyed youth with three heads and six arms was also looking at the small bell in his hand in astonishment.
“Junior, you deserve to die!”
The Spirit Tooth Immortal widened his eyes and stared at the center of the blazing sea of radiance, at the piece of flesh that no longer retained its original shape.
Due to being slashed by the Immortal Slaughtering Sword Manual and the Immortal Trapping Sword, the flesh’s vitality and spirituality were erased. As such, the Spirit Tooth Immortal didn’t realize that the flesh they were after wasn’t Guangchengzi’s severed arm. Instead, it was the flesh on his buttocks that was previously swept away by the Ru Yi Golden Cudgel.
Now that he saw it, how could the Spirit Tooth Immortal not recognize it?
He was instantly enraged.
Qu Su stared at the flesh for a long while. Looking at the blazing radiance and the Cyclic Heavenly Seal’s fragments revealed after the flesh was burnt, he gradually understood.
The three-headed youth also regained his senses, “… This is the place you guys prepared beforehand?”
“Otherwise, we wouldn’t have been able to conceal ourselves.” Yan Zhaoge smiled slightly.
Before they found Guangchengzi’s severed arm, they had found a place to disguise themselves and hide themselves.
After finding Guangchengzi’s severed arm, Yan Zhaoge dealt with it using a secret art and passed it to Gao Qingxuan. Then, the others acted as if nothing had happened. They pretended to follow the clues and returned here.
Yan Zhaoge raised his head and looked at the three-headed, six-armed youth, “Greetings, Lord of the Year. Although I’ve long heard of it, I still feel regretful after seeing it with my own eyes. In the past, even the Three Clear Lineage had joined the heretics.”
Disregarding He Mian who had betrayed them, the Immortal Realm experts who joined the Immortal Court heretics after the Great Calamity, no matter if they were Gao Jineng, Cao Bao, Yu Hualong, Zhao Jiang, or the other Three Clear Lineage’s branch lineage or lone cultivators, none of them could be considered as part of the Three Clear Lineage.
Even with the development of the Immortal Court heretics, the Three Clear Lineage’s martial arts had never been seen.
However, there were still exceptions.
After getting closer to the Southern Extremity Longevity Emperor and the Incongruence Divine Mother, Yan Zhaoge had learned more about the Immortal Court experts. Naturally, he had heard of the Lord of the Year – Grand Longevity Heavenly Lord – Yin Jiao.
The three-headed, six-armed heretic Heavenly Immortal with the appearance of a youth was none other than Yin Jiao.
“Before I enter the Investiture Gods and enter the Heavenly Court’s Divine Palace, I’m afraid that I’m no longer part of the Three Clear Lineage,” said Yin Jiao indifferently.
Qiu Shou Immortal snorted coldly, “That young lady who wields the Immortal Trapping Sword isn’t here. Could she have used the Immortal Trapping Sword to seal Guangchengzi’s item and went to search for the Immortal Exterminating Sword alone?”
“Hmph, it might not be safe if she’s alone. Although we fell for your tricks, there are still others around. When the time comes, we can obtain the Immortal Trapping Sword as well!”
Yan Zhaoge spread his palms and smiled, “Naturally, it’s not just Senior Gao alone. There’s someone else capable of unleashing the might of the Immortal Exterminating and Immortal Trapping Sword.”
