History’s Number 1 Founder

A bunch of the Purple Clouds Sect cultivators lifted the banners using some secret manual. As the 12 banners swayed, they initiated a formation. This formation prevented the slit from closing.

But with the pressure exerted by the dragons, the formation was threatened and could be crushed any moment.

This formation’s purpose was to resist an enemy. However, the Nascent Soul Stage cultivators from the Purple Clouds Sect were entirely helpless against the dragons under the circumstances that they were in. They used the formation to fight for a slim chance of survival.

This chance of survival was also fought for the others.

For those who initiated the formation, they were opening the path for others to escape and also shutting their own path of escape. For them to survive this ordeal, it was almost impossible.

Li Kuiyin revealed a mournful look as she watched Gu Lei. Gu Lei was unleashing a secret spell of the Purple Clouds Sect. By exploiting his own body so forcefully, the side effects would be very great in the future.

Normally, ways of alleviating the side effects could be conjured up. But in the current situation that they were in, he was destined not to survive at all.

By using the secret spell, Gu Lei could lift two banners at once.

Gu Lei’s lips twitched and he smiled as he looked at Li Kuiyin. Right now, his entire face had turned into flashing lightning.

In the distance, the Great Qin Empire cultivators also wanted to escape through the slit. But they were the main targets of the dragons. Under the command of a few dragons with the original true spirit, many dragons with the Undying Demon Soul rushed towards the Great Qin Empire cultivators and performed a bloody massacre.

There was no room for delay and a bunch of Purple Clouds Sect cutlviators rushed towards the slit.

Their comrades sacrificed themselves to give them this opportunity to escape. If they hesitated and indulged too much in their emotions now, it didn’t mean that they were sentimental. Rather, it meant that they did not understand the gravity of the situation.

Any hesitation was only wasting the precious time that their determined comrades had fought so hard to obtain.

If they wanted to perish together, then they could just stop all attempts of resistance right now and let the dragons kill them.

Anyone would feel despondent if they had no chance of survival at all. But even with a glimmer of hope, Gu Lei and the others would give their best to take it.

Without even saying anything or tearing, Li Kuiyin also rushed towards the slit. But she was like a walking zombie as she lost all vitality in her eyes. She only looked back at Gu Lei sentimentally.

As Gu Lei summoned the secret spell and lifted the two banners, his fate had already been decided.

Gu Lei’s gaze turned from the resilience it possessed earlier back to the gentleness that was normally there. As he looked at his own wife, a smile surfaced on his face.

“I have listened to you my entire life. But I can’t listen to you in this matter. Don’t blame me.”

Without speaking to each other or communicating through their supernatural awareness, they only met each other gazes. But this was enough to let Li Kuiyin understand what Gu Lei was thinking.

Li Kuiyin’s gaze regained some vitality, “Quit it. You only ask for my opinion regarding minor matters. I am the one who listens to you regarding major matters.”

“Oh? Is that so?” As their gazes, Gu Lei could also understand Li Kuiyin. His smile became more obvious too, but the aura around him also became more unstable.

Amidst the lightning, Gu Lei’s Nascent Soul could be seen. It shone brightly now, as if it was burning up.

“Then listen to me once more.”

Li Kuiyin wanted to stop in her tracks. She wanted to say that she wouldn’t listen to him this time after listening to him for her entire life. But as she watched Gu Lei’s gentle gaze, she found it difficult to go against his last wish.

In that instant, tears started to roll down from the corner of Li Kuiyin’s eyes.

They knew each other since young. Before joining the Purple Clouds Sect, they were already childhood sweethearts and romantically involved with each other. When they matured, they married according to their wishes and supported each other till this day. All the memories of them together flooded Li Kuiyin’s mind now.

The burning flames dried up Li Kuiyin’s tears instantly. A streak of brutal dragon flame shot from afar. Before the Purple Clouds Sect cultivators could escape, they were already faced with the dragon flame.

The expressions of both Gu Lei and Li Kuiyin changed. As the Fire Dragon with the original true spirit earlier fought a Great Qin Empire cultivator, he shot out a streak of dragon flame that was dodged by that cultivator. This caused the streak of flame to land in front of the Purple Clouds Sect cultivators.

“Eventually, I’m still….” Gu Lei sighed and he could only watch helplessly.

It was very difficult for the formation formed from the 12 banners to support the slit. Now that the dragon flame was shot towards it, it collapsed immediately.

Under the effect of the immense power produced, space distorted and some of the Purple Clouds Sect cultivators were sent out of the slit. They managed to escape.

But most of the others were trapped in the sea of fire as the slit closed up again.

The cultivators who held the 12 banners were also trapped.

As the dragon flames filled the skies, even space was almost burnt down. The protective lightning around the bodies of a huge number of Purple Clouds Sect cultivators were overcome by the attacking flames. They then turned into balls of fire that perished in the sea of fire.

As he saw many of his comrades dying and only a few left survived, one Purple Clouds Sect cultivator could not help but struggled and said, “The Purple Clouds Sect has nothing to do with the Immortal Dragon City!”

That Fire Dragon was staring at the Great Qin Empire cultivators initially. But now, he turned around as he heard his words, “Purple Clouds Sect? I almost forgot. The rumors say that the Purple Clouds Sect is one of the closest sect to the Celestial Sect of Wonders among all the sects in the Divine Lands.”

“Not good!” That struggling Purple Clouds Sect cultivator revealed a look of dejection. In an instant, he lost all will to resist and was soon engulfed by the intense fire.

The Great Qin Empire and Dragon tribe shared a deep enmity. Between the Celestial Sect of Wonders and Dragon tribe, their relationship was also very bad.

Not to even mention the Red Dragon King who was cultivated by Lin Feng into his Thunder Dragon Avatar, the Earth Dragon King’s right claw and tail were hurt by Lin Feng previously. The Azure Sky Dragon King was also heavily hurt by him too.

This Fire Dragon laughed coldly, “Don’t even talk about the Purple Clouds Sect cultivators. Even for those who are descendants of the Celestial Sect of Wonders disciples, I will not be merciful if they land in my hands.”

“If the Celestial Sect of Wonders cultivators wants to exact revenge on me, then let them come. If they are powerful enough, they can kill me. If they aren’t, I shall kill them too. I will not stop until this war is over.”

The Extreme Tooth Dragon King roared maniacally. The dragon fire around him combined with the sea of fire converted from the Blazing Flames Dragon King’s Dragon Awe Auspicious Clouds and became more brutal.

The figure converted from the lightning around Gu Lei dissipated very quickly as he was burned to ashes. He laughed bitterly as he looked at Li Kuiyin in front of him, “Eventually, I’m still unable to send you out.”

Li Kuiyin was also stuck in the fire and she smiled. She stretched out her hand to hold onto Gu Lei’s hand.

Although she cultivated mantras of the Purple Clouds Sect, she was still shocked by the lightning of Gu Lei’s figure. But Li Kuiyin remained calm and opened her mouth to say something. At the end, she was only left with one phrase, “…this shall be it.”

Gu Lei’s face revealed a gentle smile, “It can only be like this…”

The figures of the both of them were engulfed by the sea of fire and they ceased to exist anymore.

Whereas the bunch of Great Qin Empire cultivators were either slayed by the dragons one by one or they perished within the intense fire. Eventually, they all turned to ashes.

And in the sky above the sea of fire, the Blazing Flames Dragon King’s growl resonated in the Heavens and Earth and its echo reverberated for a long time.

The immortal souls of Prince Anliang and the Blue Pavilion Holy Man were extremely battered after they were crushed in his claw. They weren’t even able to maintain their human forms anymore.

Shi Zongyue’s virtual entity was completely crushed and he was only left with his Immortal Soul Avatar. Whereas the Blue Pavilion Holy Man’s virtual entity was also in critical condition.

The ethereal and formless lightning cloud seemed to consolidate to form a solid entity at this point. There were full of cracks on it. Between the cracks, lightning flashed.

As the Blazing Flames Dragon King exerted greater strength with his claws, the Blue Pavilion Holy Man’s virtual entity was crushed and he was destroyed by the Blazing Flames Dragon King.

The Hidden Dragon Gorge and Azure Lightning Evil-Slaying Blade were also crushed by the immense pressure.

That frightening dragon fire kept on burning and caused the Azure Lightning Evil-Slaying Blade to be distorted greatly.

And on the surface of the Hidden Dragon Gorge, cracks also appeared. It was like a ceramic tool that had been burnt and was becoming wasted.

The Blazing Flames Dragon King said coldly, “Hidden Dragon Gorge? It’s just a plot of space entrenched by fake dragons. Can it keep a real dragon?”

As he said, the light dragons formed from flames dashed into the Hidden Dragon Gorge. Shi Zongyue watched this scene in horror but he was helpless to stop anything.

The Hidden Dragon Gorge rang with groans. Inside the gorge, the long-bearded elder formed from the original soul was surrounded by the light dragons. He started to burn up and his nose and mouth spurted with fire. In an instant, he was turned to nothing.

As a “boom” resonated, the light dragons forcefully burst out of the Hidden Dragon Gorge. The gorge was smashed into smithereens as they burst out.

The Blazing Flames Dragon King’s gaze was cold, “It can contain a fake dragon but not a real dragon.”

As he said, he exerted more force with his claw and crushed Shi Zongyue’s Immortal Soul!

The elder of the Great Qin Empire and the uncle of Shi Yu, Prince Anliang Shi Zongyue, perished just like that!

The Blazing Flames Dragon King opened his mouth and took in a breath. Shi Zongyue’s Immortal Soul turned into a streak of flame after it was crushed and it was swallowed into the Blazing Flames Dragon King’s belly!

In the next moment, he exerted more force with his claw again. The Blue Pavilion Holy Man and Azure Lightning Evil-Slaying Blade also shook as they couldn’t handle the force.

As the demonic powers of the Blazing Flames Dragon King were summoned, the Blue Pavilion Holy Man remained crushed in his claws. But the Azure Lightning Evil-Slaying Blade seemed to have been released. But before this metaplasia level magic treasure could make a move, the Blazing Flames Dragon King opened his mouth wide and swallowed it.

Lightning flashed in the Blazing Flames Dragon King’s mouth and sparks could be seen at times. But the Blazing Flames Dragon King seemed not to bother. He just engulfed the blade forcefully.

In the next moment, he fixed his gaze on the dying Blue Pavilion Holy Man.

At this point, the Blazing Flames Dragon King’s expression changed suddenly. He saw void space breaking open in the distance. A beam of majestic golden light shone in the Heavens and Earth. The burning red Dragon Awe Auspicious Clouds were mashed by this light.

The golden light became solid and turned into a majestic golden bridge. It was Zhu Yi’s Higan Golden Bridge.

Before the Higan Golden Bridge even descended, its aura forced the Blazing Flames Dragon King to let go of the Blue Pavilion Holy Man.
