History’s Number 1 Founder

The ‘Ten’ in the Ten Daos wasn’t just numerical; it figuratively referred to the countless Daos in the world.

Zhu Yi’s Slayer of the Ten Daos didn’t just refer to 10 different mantras. Besides the Heavenly Classic of the Way’s Virtues, it included all the mantras that he had comprehended.

Zhu Yi’s powers and methods had always been the most resourceful among Lin Feng’s disciples. But there’s one thing he lacked – offensive methods.

As compared to the others, Zhu Yi’s powers didn’t lack lethality. It’s just that he wasn’t offensive enough.

Lin Feng gave him the Dragon Slaying Sabre then, which was purely an offensive weapon.

After the War of the Two Worlds, Zhu Yi went to analyze on his own under Lin Feng’s guidance. He also interacted with Xiao Yan, Wang Lin and the others. Now that he had assimilated everything, he used the Heavenly Classic of the Way’s virtues as his foundation to create the Slayer of the Ten Daos. As he unleashed this mantra, the Ten Daos were destroyed!

As he unleashed it, void space was swept. Zhu Hongwu only felt as if his pores were like a volcano that was about to erupt. He couldn’t control himself at all.

This was unprecedented for someone who controlled his body so well. Even though Zhu Hongwu was very resilient, his expression still changed at this point.

The Cheng Heaven Great Void Celestial Light around him started to flash non-stop. It lost its blandness and unpredictability.

If it not for the Celestial Light, Zhu Hongwu would’ve been in a far worse condition now. But the Celestial Light was being degraded slowly now.

“Unfilial son, how dare you!” Zhu Hongwu shouted and stopped repressing the brutal energy that wanted to erupt from his pores. He allowed his strength to erupt and summoned his ferocious fist. He supplemented the powers of the divine beings and Buddha to his body and struck Zhu Yi.

Zhu Hongwu could subtly feel the universe in his body collapsing. His bones, nerves, vessels, organs and pores were about to be torn apart.

But he was unbothered by all these. He continued to attack Zhu Yi ferociously. Because he had lost all control of the universe in his body, the external force that he could unleash became extremely great and it erupted out in an instant. He was about to slay Zhu Yi!

At this point, he didn’t even use the Cheng Heaven Great Void Celestial Light to protect his own body. He rolled himself up and dedicated all his energy into attacking. This caused his brutal momentum to become even more surreal and unpredictable.

Zhu Yi’s left hand formed the Vajra Fist Print and his right hand formed a fist. As he clasped them together, he pushed out slightly and a huge golden spiritual turtle appeared. This turtle engulfed his entire body.

“Boom!”

Zhu Hongwu’s fist struck the turtle’s shell and caused it to crack. But it wasn’t fully cracked.

The Cheng Heaven Great Void Celestial Light kept on flashing, but a light projection of a dragon appeared on the spiritual turtle suddenly. As it moved, the dragon roared into the Nine Heavens and resisted the Cheng Heaven Great Void Celestial Light.

Zhu Hongwu didn’t cultivate the Cheng Heaven Great Void Celestial Light himself, thus he found it difficult to adapt after being resisted.

His fist didn’t strike Zhu Yi, while the universe in his body jerked even more tremendously. Blood started to stream out of his pores!

Zhu Yi’s Slayer of the Ten Daos sucked boundless void space and shook it. At this instant, Zhu Hongwu felt as if his body was about to be crushed.

Zhu Hongwu’s body was battered both inside and outside. This was the body that had defeated many Cardinal Tribulations Beginner Stage demons. Countless minor injuries accumulated and caused Zhu Hongwu’s body to become extremely weak. It’s as if it could collapse anytime.

Zhu Yi looked at Zhu Hongwu and said peacefully, “The result has been decided. Follow me to my mother’s grave. You don’t have to worried about Tianjing. If the Grat Zhou Emperor is willing to accept his crimes and correct his mistakes, we’ll not make it difficult for him.”

“But we’ll have to return to your residence first. Shao Qingcheng and her avatar, Lady Shao, killed my mother then. Lady Shao must pay with her life, while Shao Qingcheng’s Immortal Soul must be disabled. She’ll have to tend to my mother’s grave for life. All these years, the Shao Family has been trafficking people and harming many lives. The evidence is there to prove all these. But no one dares to touch them under the East Heaven’s Gate and your protection. All of you will have to be punished now.”

Besides the blood tie between him and Zhu Hongwu, there were no other ties. There was only hatred.

Winning Zhu Hongwu had been his dream all these years. But he was not arrogant at all. His tone of voice was very calm and didn’t appear to be maniacal in his attitude.

But his words caused Zhu Hongwu’s gaze to straighten.

Right now, Zhu Yi’s demand for Liang Pan to admit to his crimes wasn’t implying that Liang Pan could put up an act. It meant that the hard work and efforts of the Great Zhou Empire after all these years would be wasted. They would even be unable to make a comeback in the future too.

For Zhu Yi to capture him and bring him to his residence to arrest Lady Shao, Shao Qingcheng and others, it was a total humiliation.

Furthermore, Zhu Yi even wanted to bring him to Meng Bingyun’s grave to kowtow and admit his wrongdoings. This was an even greater humiliation for him.

Zhu Hongwu stared at Zhu Yi with an extremely cold gaze in his eyes, “Unfilial son, I won’t let you get what you want even if I die.”

As he spoke, he suppressed his injury before erupting his strength once again. He attacked towards Zhu Yi and connected with the Great Heavenly Wheels telepathically. The Great Heavenly Wheels’ powers were summoned and wanted to force the Higan Golden Bridge back before combining with Zhu Hongwu.

Zhu Yi said, “Do you think it’s so easy for you to escape? Sky Revolution, Suppression of the Four Images!”

He lifted his palm and purple clouds surged. A huge spiritual turtle, virtuous Qilin, elegant phoenix and a mighty dragon were revealed.

As the powers of the 4 spiritual animals gathered together, they formed a huge light ring. The true meaning of the perfect sky was revealed.

The Four Appearances Sky Formation tried to suppressed Zhu Hongwu and caused his bones to start cracking. Zhu Yi extended his hand forward and his fingers opened wide apart. After that, he clenched it tightly!

The light ring started to distort and turn into an extremely domineering force. This force crashed down towards Zhu Hongwu and overcame his fist.

This was the Great Collapse of the Sky.

Zhu Hongwu roared and the remaining Cheng Heaven Great Void Celestial Light around him surged. It caused him to become untouchable and separated from the outside world. This allowed him to avoid Zhu Yi’s Great Collapse of the Sky.

At this point, a voice rang in Zhu Hongwu’s head, “Hongwu, return to Tianjing quickly. Things have gone beyond our expectations. Let’s retreat to the Ying Sea and chart our next move!”

It was Liang Pan’s voice. Zhu Hongwu’s expression revealed a look of hesitation after he heard Liang Pan’s words.

Although he had understood how powerful Zhu Yi was, it was beneath him to retreat in a battle against Zhu Yi.

But this was Liang Pan’s imperial orders, something that he couldn’t defy. It was more heinous for him to go against the imperial orders than to lose his pride.

Since Liang Pan had made a decision for him, Zhu Hongwu’s body jerked suddenly and a token at his waist flashed with a golden light. This light expanded to form a huge formation. The center of the formation was connected to void space.

A majestic, Buddhist light surged from the center of the formation from somewhere far. It was an extremely majestic force that shook countless worlds!

“Oh?” Zhu Yi looked over and saw the golden form of a Buddha. The Buddha appeared from void space and it was shining with a bright golden light. It was so bright that it seemed about to burn.

Zhu Yi looked at that golden form and recognized the Buddha immediately, “Aniruddha’s golden form?”

Out of the 10 golden forms left behind by the Buddha’s 10 disciples, the Great Zhou Empire managed to obtain 2 of them. This golden form that Zhu Yi saw was left behind by Aniruddha, who was known to have the “Heavenly Eye” among the 10 disciples.

This golden form used the Nirvana Sacrificial Spell to burn itself completely at this point. A frightening and powerful strength was unleashed. This strength was used to support a special ritual that wanted to help Zhu Hongwu escape.

“The Emperor of the Dead’s foundation is more important than anything else. Unfilial son, I will avenge today’s humiliation!” Zhu Hongwu roared into the sky and stopped himself from fighting to the death with Zhu Yi. As his body flashed, he leaped beside the Higan Golden Bridge and struck his fist towards it.

His fist will combined with the strength of the Great Heavenly Wheels, which caused the Great Heavenly Wheels to move suddenly. Its frightening offensive strength was summoned to its extreme and forced the Higan Golden Bridge back!

Whereas Aniruddha’s golden form razed all power and he seemed to be reborn again. It’s just that he continued to look very rigid. But its six foot tall golden form pointed towards Zhu Yi and blocked his path.

As he pointed his finger and lifted his other palm, Buddhist lights revealed the boundless worlds. Buddha, Bodhisattva and Rohan all chanted together. Countless halls, pagodas and temples stood in great numbers like Buddhist stupas. It’s as if the realm of Nirvana was being enacted.

This was a powerful Buddhist moved called the Nirvana World Palm!

The golden form was about to grab Zhu Yi into the world in its palm.

Zhu Yi wrote an essay in void space with his finger, “Nirvana may be good, but how can it stop me from advancing forward? Continuous self-improvement, advancement, overcoming boundless suffering and reaching the land of fortunes. But the land of fortunes isn’t the end!”

His Essay of the Sages unleashed an irresistible power. The words that formed the essay turned into golden bows that lifted Zhu Yi like bridges. This prevented him from entering the Nirvana World Palm.

At the same time, Zhu Yi lifted his other hand up high. The Nine Luminaries Heaven-Crushing Formation lit up again, “Why did you think I brought the Nine Luminaries Heaven-Crushing Formation? Did you think it’s just to protect myself while I form the Immortal Soul Second Level?”

The Heavens broke apart and Venus shone extremely brightly. The center of the formation shot out a bright and majestic white light beam. It was like an earth-slaying divine sword, which slashed down.

At the same time, the Higan Golden Bridge turned into a long bow that stretched across the sky. Zhu Yi’s virtual entity landed on the bridge and instantly transcended boundless worlds before piercing through the Nirvana World Palm.

The golden bridge revealed its might at this point. It wanted to crush all the barriers that stopped its momentum. It suppressed the Aniruddha golden form, Zhu Hongwu and the Great Heavenly Wheels along with the Nine Luminaries Heaven-Crushing Formation.

“Trying to escape? Where’s your arrogance? Where’s your dominance? Where’s your mighty aura? Where are they now?”
