History's Number 1 Founder

The Yellow Dragon Tribe reigned supreme over all other demon tribes with the same mastery level with their mighty demonic energy and robust physical strength.

The Hou Ning Dragon King, having attained the Syncretic Star Soul, now revealed his true form, with his formidable demonic energy and immense physical strength bursting forth in full force.

He opened his mouth wide, revealing many dazzling stars floating about between his jaws, with their enormous strength boosting the Hou Ning Dragon King himself.

His gargantuan body was much larger compared to the Qin Emperor Shi Yu, akin to the difference between a mountain and a pebble, but the Hou Ning Dragon King extended his two claws out, warping spacetime and slashing down before Shi Yu’s chest like two rays of light.

His savage dragon claws instantly punctured the body created by Shi Yu’s Immortal Soul!

Shi Yu, preoccupied with defending against the Azure Skies Dragon King’s attacks, was completely helpless. He could only watch as the Hou Ning Dragon King sank his claws into his body and tore through it mercilessly!

Shi Yu’s Immortal Soul, which was in its human form, was forcefully shredded by the Hou Ning Dragon King’s claws!

As it let out a deafening howl, Shi Yu’s Immortal Soul morphed into streams of light which ultimately consolidated into five different-colored rays of radiance: red, yellow, green, white and black. These five streams of light transformed into five Light Dragons, fleeing in all directions.

Even though he was not killed by the Hou Ning Dragon King’s strike, he was nonetheless severely injured, no longer able to withstand another attack from the Azure Skies Dragon King’s sea of ink.

Zhu Yi’s Higan Golden Bridge strenuously endured the Earth Dragon King’s crushing pressure while pushing back the sea of ink, but Shi Yu’s dispersed Immortal Soul was still instantly engulfed by the sea of ink.

The five Light Dragons sank down completely after a single break of the surface, suffering the ultimate fate of utter destruction. The final black Light Dragon’s body shrank continuously after struggling frantically in the sea of ink, gradually morphing back into its human form. It was the Qin Emperor Shi Yu.

The astonishment and anger plastered over his face slowly disappeared. The crown above his head dropped down, his hair fanned out behind him, and his expression exuded only endless disappointment and anxiety.

He was disappointed because he was dying before he even achieved his ambitions.

During his rule, the Great Zhou Empire escalated in strength tremendously, with their strength surpassing even his own Great Qin Empire. The Zhou Emperor Liang Pan, Zhu Hongwu, and the other Zhou officials unleashed all their strength, while Shi Yu and his Great Qin Empire were constrained by the Great Zhou Empire, the Mount Shu Sword Sect, and the pressure from other sects and families, like an animal trapped in a cage.

Up until the Battle of Xiling City over ten years ago, the Qin Emperor Shi Yu made one of the most important decisions in recent years which finally allowed him to regain his former glory. And with Lin Feng’s help, the Immortal Dragon City signified the hope for the Great Qin Empire’s rise back to power.

Following that, the Scramble for the Ying Sea and the Anti-Celestial Sect War successively altered the power dynamics across the whole of the Divine Lands, especially the power play between the Great Qin and Zhou Empires. After the eastern winds have blown for many years, the western winds have finally managed to suppress them. The Great Zhou Empire’s rise suffered major setbacks, and even showed signs of entering a decline while the Great Qin’s strength surged without impediment.

But above the Great Qin Empire still resided two great mountains – the Great Void Sect and the Celestial Sect of Wonders. No royal empire was considered safe under these two giants, not Liang Pan nor Shi Yu.

With the changing tides of the Great Qin Empire, they were always on the lookout for any chance to increase their strength and catalyze their rise to glory. These opportunities were always accompanied by risks, which was something Shi Yu realized early on, but when the risk actually materialized and struck him down, his heart was still filled with regret.

Despite this, he was more anxious about the fate of the Great Qin Empire.

The plight of the Golden Roc Grand Sage and his underlings were already a preemptive warning that was still vividly playing out before his eyes even now.

Shi Yu cast his final gaze towards the Immortal Dragon City. There, the Destiny magic treasure which the Great Qin Empire pinned all their hopes on has been reduced to an ordinary palace wall. It had no unique characteristics besides his stunning length. Its Destiny magic treasure Original Soul descended into a deep sleep, not responding to any messages from Shi Yu’s Supernatural Awareness.

The sacrificial ceremony was still ongoing, but without Shi Yu’s manipulation, even he could not control nor predict any changes that may occur or the end result it would produce.

The young lady in the center of the sacrificial spell ceremony remained in her unknowing, unconscious state.

Having already made his decision, Shi Yu could not regret nor complain, but a deep sense of pity still lingered in his heart. He made one wrong step, throwing all subsequent plans into disarray, feeling despondent that he could not rewind time for a second chance.

Shi Yu’s spirit gradually faded as the Immortal Dragon City slowly vanished from view.

A human emperor has fallen just like this!

Up until now, the human cultivation world has suffered its first loss of a powerful leader during this War of the Two Worlds – the ruler of the Great Qin Empire, the Qin Emperor Shi Yu.

In the faraway Barren Expanses, the Extreme Tooth Dragon King who was attempting to incinerate Yue Hongyan with his draconic flames suddenly flinched, seemingly catching the news from someone else’s Mana Voice Projection. He quickly broke in maniacal laughter. “That blasphemous human collector of our mighty dragons’ corpses has finally received his due judgement and died! And that damned Immortal Dragon City is finally being annihilated!”

“Great! Great! Great! We can finally erase the greatest source of shame for our tribe since the Antiquity Age!”

The Extreme Tooth Dragon King appeared unbelievably ecstatic, lowering his head to look at Yue Hongyan trapped in the sea of fire. He let out a huge roar and continued spitting out draconic flames. A towering inferno surrounded Yue Hongyan, about to burn her to death.

The lingering remnants of the Hou Ning Dragon King’s demonic energy and aura was plentiful and seemingly boundless, both to the Extreme Tooth Dragon King and Yue Hongyan. And now, having been ignited by the Extreme Tooth Dragon King’s flames, it instantly blazed into a raging fiery hell.

However, Yue Hongyan surprised the Extreme Tooth Dragon King again.

To the Extreme Tooth Dragon King, Yue Hongyan was merely an opponent that leveraged on external sources of strength based on his previous encounters with her. There were no derogatory implications behind this, since these advantageous situations were all devised by Yue Hongyan herself, and her battle style involved boosting these advantageous situations. It was like a rolling snowball, unretrievable but gathering strength as it rolled, pressurizing opponents to the point of insanity.

It was an insurmountable task to reverse one’s disadvantage in a battle against Yue Hongyan for all opponents at the same mastery level. Once Yue Hongyan clinched the decisive advantage, it would simply become more blatant and more difficult to reverse.

But on the contrary, once she stood at a disadvantage, pressured by her opponent, her full-on offensive battle style with no niche or preference for defence would spiral her swift downfall. However, her tough battle style has always troubled her opponents. While they sliced Yue Hongyan down, she would easily retaliate even when she was close to death, causing her opponents to pay a hefty price.

The Extreme Tooth Dragon king was wary of exactly this.

But now, he clearly noticed Yue Hongyan retracting her spears, waving them slowly in front of her. Although her movements seemed slow, they were actually at their full speed, fending off the raging flames. Despite her body being scorched by great amounts of draconic flames, she still managed to block out most of it.

A dark cloud formed beside Yue Hongyan, containing high concentrations of water vapor, condensed yet not precipitating, giving off a dense and burdened quality. However, it still boasted an extremely terrifying level of explosivity, seemingly about to burst forth anytime.

For Yue Hongyan, who had always focused on strong sweeping attacks, to be so meticulous in defending, she has reached the peak of her potential for her current mastery level.

The Rainless Dense Clouds Holy Spear of Yue Hongyan’s Divine Spears of the Four Appearances Heavenly Spell!

With a single move, she erected her defenses, not unleashing any attacks and instead focusing on defending, like a raging storm hiding behind nine levels of clouds.

This was very different from Yue Hongyan’s usual battle style, seemingly opposing her traditional specialization in martial arts. However, Yue Hongyan did not expose any sense of incoordination or despondence for being suddenly forced to defend. She was like a dragon resting in a cavern, accumulating even greater strength than before.

Yue Hongyan seemed determined. The Extreme Tooth Dragon King’s draconic flames far surpassed his actual abilities after receiving a boost from the Hou Ning Dragon King’s demonic energy. Yue Hongyan’s Rainless Dense Clouds Holy Spear may have cultivated the power of the Grand Moon Primordial Water, but there was still a considerable amount of draconic flames breaking through the barriers and landing on Yue Hongyan’s body.

Her Seven Merciless Star Armor glistened, shielding her from most of the incoming flames, but there was still a significant amount that scorched her body.

Fiery sparks danced in her eyes. She channeled her own strength to new immaculate heights, causing the orifices all over her body to open and close in succession. The speed and frequency of their movements were not in unison, as though each orifice possessed its own thoughts.

The intrusive draconic flames were continuously extinguished by Yue Hongyan’s vibrating orifices, reproducing and being expectorated out after being decomposed and absorbed by these openings, preventing the flames from dealing any severe damage to her body. But in spite of this, the pain from the blazing flames was far beyond anything that an ordinary person could endure.

It was endless pain! Endless torture!

All of her physical strength seemed to have been burnt to cinders. All the pores on her body contracted in pain, as if they were all shrieking in agony.

Yue Hongyan herself did not utter a sound, maintaining her steel-hard gaze as always.

But as the blazing draconic flames grew in intensity, the strength of the flames attacking the Rainless Dense Cloud Holy Spear seemed to grow as well. Everything seemed to be sliding down a hopelessly deep abyss.

The Extreme Tooth Dragon King stared at Yue Hongyan and said coldly, “That Qin bastard got what he deserved and died. He would soon be obliterated along with his Immortal Dragon City, and your sect won’t be able to save you either. You’re dead meat now, woman. Even if your comrades rush over, I’ll kill you before they arrive. You won’t have time to be rescued!”

The Extreme Tooth Dragon King snickered, “Do you have a lover? If you do, think about him before you meet your doom. You will never see him again. Hate him for letting you die alone here.”

Upon hearing this, Yue Hongyan’s expression remained unchanged. She gazed at the Extreme Tooth Dragon King coldly. “Who decided that a woman needed to wait for others to rescue her?”

Her eyes glistened even brighter to the point where they were blinding the Extreme Tooth Dragon King.

A flash of lightning crashed down from the skies, not attacking the Extreme Tooth Dragon King but striking down on Yue Hongyan!

Outside the sea of fire, massive amounts of electricity and spiritual essence poured into Yue Hongyan’s orifices. Boundless lightning and fire surged over her body like tens of thousands of electric snakes slithering about.

Yue Hongyan opened her mouth and ejected a ray of radiance containing large amounts of golden blood mist. As the blood mist dispersed outwards, it shrouded Yue Hongyan’s body and blended with the draconic flames and raging thunder, as though she was donning a suit of golden thunder.

The young red-haired lady’s physical strength and fighting spirit surged to extraordinary levels!
