History’s Number 1 Founder

Above Tianjing right now, countless purplish-golden dragons danced in the sky. They gathered above Tianjing from all directions and their immense Draconic Energy turned the entire Tianjing golden. The formation guarding the city was initiated and an overpowering aura shot in the sky.

There was an imperial palace above Tianjing. In the palace right now, there were many officials revealed through light projections and subjects that were kowtowing non-stop. There were countless cultivators in armors too. They developed a formation stance and stood at the field in front of the main pavilion. The size of the field was extremely great, like a sky of stars. It wasn’t squeezy even thought tens of thousands of people were gathered there.

Among these people, there were Foundation Establishment Stage and even Qi Cultivation Stage cultivators. Whereas the most powerful of them all were only in the Nascent Soul Stage.

Even with so many medium and low-level cultivators facing the Immortal Soul Stage cultivators, they might not be able to do much. A rise in quantity could translate to a rise in quality, but if the natural quality difference between both parties was too great, the increase in quantity might not be able to make up for the shortfall.

But as these cultivators gathered together, they combined their powers and their strength induced earth-changing transformations.

This formation was the Great Zhou Empire’s Almighty Celestial Destroyer Formation. It was a re-creation of Emperor Tai’s formation during the Antiquity Age. It was mystical, unpredictable and extremely dominant.

These cultivators belonged to the Divine Martial Army recruited and nurtured by the Great Zhou Empire all these years.

The Divine Martial Army cultivators were all uneasy as they prepared to face their opponent.

After all, it was the Celestial Sect of Wonders – the unrivalled presence in the Divine Lands right now!

But as they developed the formation now, they no longer had any choice. This formation didn’t require the participants to cultivate the same lineage of mantra and they didn’t even have to work together. They just needed to supply their own powers.

Their powers would change as the formation initiated, before they were supplemented to the general of the army. This allowed the general’s strength to improve leaps and bounds.

The strength of the Almighty Celestial Destroyer Formation wasn’t focused on one person right now. Rather, it was supplied to the Imperial Palace of Emperor Tai.

Streaks of purplish-golden light surged as the Imperial Palace of Emperor Tai jerked. The Imperial Palace of Emperor Tai supplemented the Almighty Celestial Destroyer Formation. The formation and the imperial palace enhanced each other, and their strengths were boosted greatly.

After the Imperial Palace of Emperor Tai was restored and returned to its peak state, it became extremely powerful. It became even more powerful with the Almighty Celestial Destroyer Formation supporting it now.

At the same time, the strength of the Imperial Palace of Emperor Tai connected with the Draconic Energy that filled Tianjing.

Outside of the Imperial Palace of Emperor Tai and Tianjing, a huge light screen covered the Heavens. It was the Two Elements of the Creation Formation. With the Crucible of the Divine Lands holding the fort, the Two Elements of Creation Formation spun as it suppressed the Imperial Palace of Emperor Tai. The Imperial Palace of Emperor Tai and Tianjing tried to resist the power of the Endless Extremes from overcoming their defense.

Shi Tianhao revealed the City in the Sky. Its power combined with the Two Elements of Creation Formation to suppress the Imperial Palace of Emperor Tai and Tianjing.

But they were still able to hold their ground with the Almighty Celestial Destroyer Formation and Draconic Energy supporting them. Liang Pan and the Imperial Palace of Emperor Tai couldn’t leave Tianjing, but Shi Tianhao and Li Yuanfang couldn’t overcome their defense.

There was a ritual going on in the Imperial Palace of Emperor Tai to save Zhu Hongwu and the Great Heavenly Wheels, as Aniruddha’s golden form burned.

But following that, Zhu Yi also summoned the Higan Golden Bridge and rushed over with Yue Hongyan and Saros Magical Tree.

In the core of the main pavilion of the Imperial Palace of Emperor Tai, Liang Pan looked at the bloody and weakened Zhu Hongwu. He became extremely furious and shocked. Zhu Hongwu coughed repeatedly and spat out fresh blood. “Your Majesty, my unfilial son and the Celestial Sect of Wonders are very likely to be aware of our plan. I suspect that they may be using us to find the Fangzhang Celestial Mountain.”

Liang Pan revealed a resolute expression on his face, “This is the greatest crisis to befall the Great Zhou Empire ever. We are defending Tianjing, which is internally in a mess. Externally, we have no aid. There won’t be any change in situation; we can only take risks and try to hide ourselves in the Ying Sea. Only by depending on the concealment ability of the celestial mountain can we avoid detection by Lin Feng.”

“Lin Feng is very powerful and even controls the Yingzhou Celestial Mountain in the Ying Sea. He has the greatest freedom in the Ying Sea, but stopping us won’t be easy. As long as we obtain the Fangzhang Celestial Mountain, we should be able to last until the Three Mountains of the Ying Sea reveal themselves again. With such a long time, we’ll be able to preserve our vital energy and make further plans as long as we remain prudent.”

Liang Pan wore a dragon robe and crown on his head. He stood up and said decisively, “Hongwu, just focus on recuperating.”

As Liang Pan stood up, he revealed a different sense about himself. It’s as if he was determined to do something.

In the next moment, Liang Pan used his mind and caused both the Imperial Palace of Emperor Tai and Tianjing to jerk tremendously at the same time. The tremors seemed to signify an oncoming apocalypse.

The purplish-golden dragons roared in unison at this point. Their mighty aura slowly disappeared at this point and was replaced by an intense agitation and brutality. It’s as if they were provoked and had erupted in fury.

At this point, Tianjing started to collapse amidst a sky full of radiances!

The formation guarding Tianjing reversed its direction of revolution and collapsed along with Tianjing. Its powers condensed and erupted in an instant. They were even greater than they were before.

The Draconic Energy started to dissipate, and the dragons started to be destroyed. Vital energy and the essence of the Heavens and Earth were crushed, while void space was converted to nothingness.

Even Zhu Yi and Shi Tianhao’s eyelids twitched when they saw such a devastating scene.

Liang Pan wanted to destroy his own empire’s capital!

This immense power was even greater and more frightening than that of Aniruddha’s golden form when he razed himself.

The powers of the Imperial Palace of Emperor Tai surged once again as this frightening force supplemented them. A blinding light was released, and a huge ball of chaos was visible amidst the light. It was extremely unstable and kept on distorting.

In the next instant, a huge crack appeared in this ball of chaos.

As this crack appeared, an immense force wanted to tear the Greater World into two. Zhu Yi, Shi Tianhao and the others even had a false sensation that the Divine Lands was shaking.

The frightening force had a shocking explosive strength and it resisted the suppression of the Two Elements of Creation Formation and City in the Sky. Before the Higan Golden Bridge arrived, it forcefully tore a hole in the boundaries of void space.

It was the Extreme Emperor Heaven-Splitting Mantra!

Liang Pan started another ritual inside the Imperial Palace of Emperor Tai. As this ritual was initiated, the hole above the Imperial Palace of Emperor Tai became bigger and bigger. At the same time, light projections flashed inside the palace and white smoke appeared from it. It was the image of Ying Sea.

A thick light beam was formed when Tianjing collapsed and connected to the hole in void space. Amidst the light beam, the Imperial Palace of Emperor Tai appeared very slow, but it was actually moving very rapidly. It moved along a tunnel and rose up towards the hole.

Zhu Yi stepped on the Higan Golden Bridge and said, “Little junior, I shall leave everything here to you. We’ll meet in the Ying Sea.”

The Higan Golden Bridge turned into a long bow and followed the Imperial Palace of Emepror Tai into the hole.

The Two Elements of Creation made a revolution in void space before turning into a spot of light and landed on the Higan Golden Bridge.

Whereas Shi Tianhao nodded his head, “It’s a pity if such a city is destroyed.” As he spoke, the City in the Sky slowly turned into a patch of green light. Amidst the green light, a transparent city that was illusorily formed by radiances appeared and suppressed Tianjing.

The uproar in Tianjing was slowly appeased, while the dragons slowly disappeared too.

But the disrupted essence and vital energy were being absorbed by the illusory city as they were restoring their balance.

Liang Gan wanted to laugh and cry at the same time as he watched from afar. The Huangtian Emperor never left empty-handed.

Liang Gan shook his head slightly before mustering his energy. He let out a turbid breath but was still unable to calm himself down.

After the War of the Two Worlds ended, he left Tianjing with Zhu Yi’s help. That left Liang Pan and Zhu Hongwu helpless.

From today onwards, he was going to take charge of Tianjing and the Great Zhou Empire. He would become the new Great Zhou Emperor. Liang Pan would be dethroned, and the entire Divine Lands would be informed.

Perhaps some might think that he was unworthy or that he was the puppet of the Celestial Sect of Wonders. Some might even point to the fact that his cultivation was too low and couldn’t lead the Great Zhou to success. He might not even be able to resist if Liang Pan and Zhu Hongwu attacked.

But Liang Gan managed to calm down as he thought of all these.

There was a youth in black beside Liang Gan. His eyes were slightly shut, and a sharp radiance flashed across them. But it was calmness and composure most of the time. He was Chu Yang.

He smiled, “Your Highness…no, Your Majesty, it’s been awhile. You’re much more glorious than you were in the past.”

Liang Gan turned his head to look at him. He laughed, “You’re the one who’s more glorious. I’m far from you. I will need you to help me in the future.”

“Will I dare not to help you? Although I’m not capable enough, I’ll do my best.” Chu Yang’s current abilities were far superior than most ordinary Immortal Soul Stage cultivators. But his stature was still not mighty enough for a power like the Great Zhou Empire.

However, his appearance carried a deeper meaning behind it. It was an attitude by the Celestial Sect of Wonders.

Liang Gan and Chu Yang both knew this. They looked at each other and smiled. The distant sense between them slowly disappeared. Liang Gan looked at Tianjing, “Everything’s been decided.”

Although Zhu Hongwu and Liang Pan escaped, and the final result was an unknown, everyone in the Divine Lands knew that the both of them couldn’t enter Tianjing as long as the Celestial Sect of Wonders remained powerful and as long as the situation in the Divine Lands didn’t change. They couldn’t even get close to the Divine Lands!

What was very admirable was that Lin Feng didn’t even show himself. He remained on Mount Yujing and didn’t make a move at all.

His name struck fear into everyone’s heart, even if he didn’t show himself. His Immediate Disciples were strong enough to change the face of the Great Zhou Empire, the third strongest power after the Celestial Sect of Wonders and the Great Void Sect!
