History's Number 1 Founder

The grand residence of the Yu Family was vast had a strong and formidable aura about it. It had existed within Xiling City for an extremely long time.

However, the main gate to the residence had now completely collapsed and lay in ruins.

It was like an intimidating and handsome-looking male being shaved bald just like that.

His hair was completely gone, but everywhere else still looked perfectly fine – except there was one part that was bald and empty and it resembled someone with a skin disease at the top of his head. All the formidability and all the grandeur became a joke all of a sudden.

A ray of blue light appeared over the Yu Family residence. Uncountable glyphs and runes congregated to form magic formation after magic formation, and all these smaller formation parts came together to from a gargantuan one. This final form emanated an icy aura that seemed to originate from the immemorial times, and one that felt like it could freeze everything under the sky.

It was like a giant beast awakened, and it was hurt and angry and wanted to tear apart all life.

The tiger that was formed by the Grand Sun Primordial Fire stood its ground, unafraid. It roared at the Yu Family residence, and came alive with ferocity as it lunged violently at the icy magic formation.

The person controlling the Grand Sun Primordial Fire was, of course, none other than Xiao Yan. He watched the Yu Family residence in front of him with a cold and indifferent expression.

"Those not directly related to the Yu Family by blood, leave now. If not I will kill everything that moves."

Once this was said, everybody stirred into a furor.

Somebody recognized Xiao Yan. "Isn’t that the cardinal disciple of the Celestial Sect of Wonders, Xiao Yan?"

"Xiao Yan? I thought he hasn’t been seen for a long time, why is he suddenly showing up here?"

"The Celestial Sect of Wonders? I thought they were victorious the last time they fought with the Yu Family?"

"I heard every time it was the Yu Family that sparked the conflict but ended up suffering defeat. Still, this didn’t mean that the Celestial Sect of Wonders would just let it go. They’re here to settle their debts!"

"Then why not come earlier? Why now, after an entire year?"

"Who knows. Maybe it’s because the Yu Family did something that pissed them off?"

As for everybody’s discussion, Xiao Yan did not have a care at all. He opened his stride towards the YU Family, still wearing his cold expression.

An old voice rang out from within the blue and icy magic formation. "Youngster, your Celestial Sect of Wonders is too much. Do you really think that the Yu Family can be so easily bullied?"

This voice was charged with immense power and shook the earth all around. The ripples of this dense and vast streak of mana seemed like something only a nascent soul advanced stage grandmaster could produce.

The surrounding audience were shocked. "It’s the nascent soul advanced stage grandmaster anchoring the Yu Family residence inside Xiling City. It is quite apparent that he has been activated at first notice."

Faced with a powerhouse of the nascent soul advanced stage, Xiao Yan flashed a warm smile. "You are very clear about what you guys have done."

"Just let me ask you one question. Did you have a part in besieging my little junior’s parents?"

The voice came out again from the magic formation after some thought. "That’s the Shi Family’s business. The Yu Family has a historical rapport and camaraderie with the Shi Family, so we were just lending a hand…"

Before he could finish his sentence, Xiao Yan cut him off coldly. "Enough. You can stop with the rest of your nonsense. All I needed was for you to admit your responsibility – now you have my permission to die."

The voice of the nascent soul advanced stage grandmaster turned cold as well. "Ignorant child. You’re only of the aurous core advanced stage and you’re already acting so outrageously! I shall capture you and bring you back to your master to question how he disciplines his disciples!"

Before his voice died down, a gigantic figure of a few hundred feet tall emerged from the top of the blue-colored magic formation and stepped out onto the void.

This giant only had one arm, and only a single eye grew on its face. This eye was like a crystallized form of a raindrop, and exuded a pulverizing force that felt like it was going to freeze the whole world over.

Once the giant revealed itself, the chilly air was almost about to envelope the entire Xiling City. This aura directly triggered the city’s natural defense mechanism, which led to the chilly aura being contained within a fixed area of effect.

The intimidating aura still terrorized everything around it. Every single one of the onlookers were forced back a couple steps, in order to avoid being collateral damage.

Those who were unwilling to step back were immediately frozen into ice statues in no time!

This nascent soul advanced stage elder channeled his cosmic form right from the start. He wanted to defeat and capture Xiao Yan in one move to repay the humiliation that the Yu Family suffered at his hands today!

"Ignorant child, the Celestial Sect of Wonders is really too much. You have hurt and murdered so many members of the Yu Family already, and now you have come to my doorstep looking for trouble. I will capture and murder you on the spot first as a form of interest payment from the Celestial Sect of Wonders. I will return the favor in the future!"

Xiao Yan could not help himself and chuckled. "It is you who keep provoking the Celestial Sect of Wonders. You brought this upon yourself, but now you want to push the blame back to us? Can you get any more thick-skinned? Or is it you guys are just overbearing and domineering by nature, so everybody has grown stupid, thinking that only you can strike out at your targets but the targets cannot strike back?"

He stared at the cyclopean-giant cosmic form his mouth curved into a smile – but his smile carried a tinge of ferocity. "Let me tell you, I was absent during the battle atop Mount Kunlun last year. I was unable to personally teach you thieving bastards a lesson for messing with the Celestial Sect of Wonders, and I have been regretful about that fact ever since."

"I am here today, and I’m not in the mood to talk nonsense with you. If you wish to do that, please go find someone else."

Xiao Yan clenched his fists and pushed them out in front of his chest. "Today, I only wish to do one thing."

"Flatten your home!"

The golden tiger once again let loose a ear-splitting roar as it integrated itself into Xiao Yan’s body. In the next moment, a sharp world-ending murderous aura exploded outwards.

That streak of violent and murderous aura sent chills down his adversary’s spine, even though he was in the nascent soul advanced stage. "This kind of murderousness is not inferior to the Asura spells of the Huo Family!"

Xiao Yan glared directly at his opponent’s cosmic form. He connected with his understanding of the world and of nature and unleashed the four legendary forms: the Jade Green Dragon, the Great White Tiger, the Blood Red Sparrow and the Genbu.

At this moment, it was the form of the Great White Tiger that was released. The meaning that it embodied was of intense contempt and condescension towards the entire world, and to kill all living things!

It was much unlike the Blood Red Sparrow Form that he used when he battled Tao Yaoyao a long time ago. The Xiao Yan of now was in the most powerful and offensive state.

The cyclopean giant cosmic form shot out a ray of blue light from its eye. Wherever its vision was directed towards, everything around was immediately transformed into black crystal and subsequently shattered into dust.

Xiao Yan was unafraid. The Great White Tiger Form of the Grand Sun Primordial Fire channeled uncountable rays of golden fire and clashed fiercely with the blue light ray head-on.

An aurous core advanced stage cultivator clashing head-on with a nascent soul advanced stage grandmaster’s cosmic form!

The blue light clashed continuously with the golden flames. Some of the Grand Sun Primordial Fire was completely frozen over and sealed in ice, but parts of the blue light pillar were also explosively shattered by the golden flames.

Both parties were engaged in glorious battle. This alerted the other powerful individuals within Xiling City, and everybody came around to watch.

Some males dressed Northern tribesmen were part of the audience at the battlefield as well. They were from the Royal House of the Northern Tribes, and were accompanying the Prince Xian of the Right in a convoy mission to the Great Qin Empire. The Prince Xian of the Right was currently sitting inside the royal palace and was meeting up with the Qin Emperor. His status was naturally different from the others, and a part of his company were settled in the resting areas.

They watched the ferocious Xiao Yan and drew cold breaths at the same time. "He has the balls to clash with a nascent soul advanced stage grandmaster head-on… This Xiao Yan is really living up to his status as the eldest disciple under the leader of the Celestial Sect of Wonders!"

"Still, the cosmic form of a nascent soul advanced stage grandmaster is unbelievably powerful. If he continues along this path, he’s going to end up in defeat."

While the audiences were discussing amongst themselves, Xiao Yan was being gradually frozen in place by the blue light pillar from the cyclopean giant.

However, he was completely unfazed. With a cold grunt, the golden tiger formed by the Grand Sun Primordial Fire disappeared into thin air. Immediately following, waves of blue-purple-colored flames poured out with a concept of power so violent and brutal that it seemed to consume heaven and earth. This particular side of the sky was tainted bluish-purple by the sinister and frightening flames of the Nefarious Spectral Primordial Fire.

The terrifying demonic fire transformed into the form of the Great White Tiger was a more fitting sight than before.

"Kill!" During Xiao Yan’s exclamation, the Great White Tiger that was formed by the Nefarious Spectral Primordial Fire had already forcibly torn apart the blue light pillar, and was engaged in violent battle with its adversary.

At the same time, the Grand Sun Primordial Fire and the Nanming Primordial Fire both transformed into the form of the Great White Tiger, and all three fearsome tigers besieged the cyclopean giant with ferocious assaults.

Three legendary fire were unleashed at the same time. Even if it were a nascent soul advanced stage grandmaster from the Yu Family using his cosmic form to channel the Xuanming Primordial Water, he could not attain the upper hand.

"This guy can control three different primordial fires at the same time?"

Members of the Yu Family were astonished. "There are monsters within the Celestial Sect of Wonders. It’s not just Shi Tianhao – Xiao Yan is equally fearsome. No, this cannot be allowed to continue. We shall eliminate him right here, today!"

The onlookers could not help. Two nascent soul stage cultivators planned to enter the fray and lend their pal a hand.

At this point, however, Xiao Yan was already in the kill zone. The three white tigers formed by three different primordial fires were already dominant and full of contempt and murderousness for everything else. Besides the nascent soul stage grandmaster, everybody else that they touched perished in an instant.

The cyclopean giant let out a loud roar. With one hand, it began to make a seal and the surrounding chilly aura was abruptly withdrawn.

Subsequently, the blue light from within the giant’s eye dulled and ultimately disappeared altogether. However, the seal that it made surged towards Xiao Yan.

In the middle of its palm was a dark and pitch-black hole. It felt as if boundless icy winds and chilly air were about to seal the world in ice and revert everything back to the Ice Age.

The Cambrian Xuanming God-Imprisoning Seal!

It was the most potent and most powerful abhijna of the Yu Family’s Mantra of Xuanming. It was something that could seal everything under the heavens in ice and send the entire world back to the barren and frozen tundra of the Ice Age.

Xiao Yan’s expression was cold and indifferent. His placed his palms together and withdrew the white tigers formed by the Grand Sun Primordial Fire and the Nanming Primordial Fire. He speedily compressed both entities into two extremely dense spheres of flame, and proceeded to fuse them together.

His fingers were extremely nimble and agile, and mantra after mantra was cast into the ball of primordial fire in the center of his palm.

In the next moment, a golden lotus throne the size of his palm emerged from within. In the middle of the lotus throne, a red petal and a blue petal were faintly swaying in the wind.

The petrifying Heavenly Fire Lotus was now rising up to meet the Cambrian Xuanming God-Imprisoning Seal.

Intense heat clashed with extreme coldness. The void around it shattered into pieces, and the defense mechanism of Xiling City reacted with even greater force as it forcefully prevented the aftershocks of this battle to ripple outwards in order to protect Xiling City from collateral damage.

After the Heavenly Fire Lotus clashed with the Cambrian Xuanming God-Imprisoning Seal, it transformed into an endless sea of golden fire which extended outwards in all directions. Every ray of fire that met with the black ice crystals all around exploded violently upon contact!

Continuous explosions!

Never-ending explosions!

Millions and millions of flames exploded on an equal number of black ice crystals!

The icy aura immediately rolled backwards, much like rain clouds being scattered by the Sun. The black ice crystals that resembled a giant black hole began to shatter and collapse.

A great volume of chilly ice was evaporated by the heat from the intense flames, and enveloped the area surrounding the Yu Family residence in thick steam, resulting in a scene almost like a deathly fog befell the battleground!

The white fog scattered, and a gigantic shadow emerged from within the void.

When the throng of Yu Family disciples saw this shadow, a wave of relief passed over their faces as they recognized it to be the cosmic form of their elder grandmaster.

However, almost at the same time, the gigantic figure gradually began to kneel!
