History's Number 1 Founder

Even though it wasn’t as mystical as Liang Pan’s Supreme Reign Divine Light that could multiply the strengths of the two destiny-level magic treasures and raise their overall strength, Zhu Yi’s Higan Golden Bridge and its various powers were all-embracing and inter-compatible as well. Under the effects of Shi Tianhao’s Celestial Sky Formation and the Twelve Divine Generals’ spiritual forms, both forces combined their strengths into one.

Zhu Yi raised his hand to write word after word in the sky. He started with “Change” and ended with the same word.

However, his writing stopped but that didn’t mean it was the end. The entire paragraph didn’t have a beginning and neither did it have an end, and both are hard to tell apart. It went on and on as the endless natural laws of the world expanded and permeated the heavens.

The power of the Way of Changes fused together with the Higan Golden Bridge and the Twelve Divine Generals as they rose up to meet the Extreme Emperor Heaven-Splitting Mantra created by Liang Pan’s activation of both the Imperial Palace and the Great Heavenly Wheels at the same time.

The scene resembled countless worlds breaking apart, as if the Greater World was just starting to exist. That petrifying spectacle was like the destruction of the world and innumerable calamities unfurling at the same time.

Zhu Yi’s virtual entity stood upon the Higan Golden Bridge with a sprawling aura and a sensation that he could overcome all obstacles and suffering and suppress all kinds of disaster, as if he could bring the catastrophes of the world to their knees and take the human world to the other side.

Both forces clashed violently. Shi Tianhao stood beside Zhu Yi and his expression was relaxed as a beam of frightening divine light shot out from between his eyebrows.

That light was blindingly brilliant and resembled a sprawling rainbow that stretched across the skies. Its dazzling radiance was even more riveting than Liang Pan’s Supreme Reign Divine Light, and even more formidable!

A full-stop seemed to be drawn upon all things in the world wherever this light touched, and they were sent on a path to the final destination – Shi Tianhao’s Final Holy Light!

Lin Feng sat on top of the Yingzhou Celestial Mountain and watched on with a grin on his face.

Without discussing the absolute strengths of both divine lights, based on a comparison of their effects, Shi Tianhao’s Final Divine Light naturally counteracted Liang Pan’s Supreme Reign Divine Light.

Final meant everything was given a full-stop and even those that hadn’t reached their end would be forced to stop in their tracks and they wouldn’t be able to continue.

If both Holy Lights of Creation were on the same level of power, then the Final Holy Light would greatly hinder and affect the integrating and fusion effects of the Supreme Reign Divine Light. It would interfere with the connection between the entities being fused together, and could even severe their ties entirely.

The moment they touched Shi Tianhao’s Final Holy Light, the mystical radiance around the Imperial Palace and the Great Heavenly Wheels instantly became unstable.

A break suddenly appeared on the Supreme Reign Divine light that was originally in circular form.

The divine light’s circular form was still there, but it was no longer complete as if someone had snipped a gap in the middle.

The ferocious power of the Extreme Emperor Heaven-Splitting Mantra wavered faintly from the influence, and the frightening force of multiple words breaking apart was slightly pacified.

Even though the Imperial Palace and the Great Heavenly Wheels were still formidable and intimidating and their powers were still operational, their combined power was conspicuously reduced even though both destiny-level magic treasures were as still as powerful as ever.

At this point, Zhu Yi and the Higan Golden Bridge launched across the space between towards them.

Nine light circles flickered above the golden bridge that had a myriad of appearances, and it appeared as if countless human figures were standing atop the golden bridge. Their combined will power formed something like a city wall and displayed an unstoppable force as if they would press forward and nothing could stand in their way.

Liang Pan was still completely cocooned by the Supreme Reign Divine Light inside the Imperial Palace, and dull hum could be heard from within the layer of lights.

There was a sudden mystical light that was indescribable, inexplicable and completely unable to understand that sparkled above the Imperial Palace.

This was the Cheng Heaven Great Void Celestial Light that Liang Pan had obtained from the Great void Sect. It combined with the Supreme Reign Divine Light and immediately bridged the rift on the light circle formed by the Supreme Reign Divine Light.

The Imperial Palace and the Great Heavenly Wheels became drifting and obscure at this point, and became almost unfathomable and untouchable like the Cheng Heaven Great Void Celestial Light.

They temporarily blocked off Shi Tianhao’s Final Holy Light in such a state as the Final Holy Light started to grind down the Cheng Heaven Great Void Celestial Light. However, Liang Pan managed to find some breathing room and attempted to fuse the Imperial Palace and the Great Heavenly Wheels together once more.

Except Zhu Yi and the Higan Golden Bridge along with the power of the Twelve Divine Generals were already before him, and Liang Pan had no choice but to face them off hastily.

Faced with immense pressure, the fusion between the Cheng Heaven Great Void Celestial Light and the Imperial Palace produced an unprecedented effect – a light projection gradually rose up from the mass of lights, and stood next to the Emperor Tai’s light projection above the Imperial Palace.

This figure was obscure and hard to fathom, and his features were mystical and almost indescribable.

He extended his palm and a consciousness permeated the air and interacted with the Extreme Emperor Heaven-Splitting Mantra that was still in operation.

This shadow seemed to be triggered by the Extreme Emperor Heaven-Splitting Mantra and the image that resembled the birth of the Greater World, and his appearance caused the supernovas played out by the Extreme Emperor Heaven-Splitting Mantra to become even more real and more powerful.

Both forces clashed violently once more as chaos bolt after chaos bolt continued to crack open as if an entire world had just perished. The frightening aftershocks caused the void to disintegrate and web-like cracks started to appear on the Ying Sea’s dimensional barriers.

The Two Elements of Creation Formation loomed over the heaven and earth where both forces collided and the white clouds and everything else were swept away. The ocean waters churned, and a tsunami was immediately triggered as if the apocalypse was here.

The small islands that were on the ocean surface and the submerged reefs at the bottom of the ocean were all annihilated.

Except for a few extremely powerful illusions that were barely able to survive, the other smaller illusions inside the borders of the Ying Sea were all blown into pieces.

Even the Yingzhou Celestial Mountain and the Fangzhang Celestial Mountain were like dinghies on the ocean as they swayed in the sky.

Lin Feng glanced at the Cheng Heaven Great Void Celestial Light and the mysterious figure that came out from within, and a look of amusement came across his face.

How could he not recognize this scene? That must be the opening ancestor of the Great Void Sect, the projection of the Great Void Holy Man.

During the final years of the Primordial Age and during the beginning of the Antiquity Age, the Great Void Holy Man and Emperor Tai had created the Supreme Heavenly Mirror together and witnessed the separation of the Greater World into two poles and all the spectacular scenes in between.

The Cheng Heaven Great Void Celestial Light interacted with the Extreme Emperor Heaven-Splitting Mantra, and along with the refining effects of the Supreme Reign Divine Light, an effect as uncanny as this occurred – the Great Void Holy Man’s light projection and that of Emperor Tai appeared at the same time, and even Lin Feng also felt a little baffled by the profundities of everything.

Liang Pan’s spirits were still low inside the Imperial Palace, however.

He didn’t have to concern himself with Shi Tianhao’s Final Holy Light for now. He was unafraid of another collision after the new effects brought about by his mantras, and he could even gain the upper hand.

However, he knew what was going on in his own camp. He knew that, with his current level of mastery, it was a little too challenging to fuse the Imperial Palace and the Great Heavenly Wheels, which were two destiny-level magic treasures and he didn’t have that many chances to attack.

The problem was that Zhu Yi, Shi Tianhao and the others before him were not so easily defeated.

Furthermore, Lin Feng began to channel the Yingzhou Celestial Mountain and was quietly moving closer to the Fangzhang Celestial Mountain.

Liang Pan’s avatar was still working hard to assimilate the Fangzhang Celestial Mountain, but he was still one step away from success.

“Your majesty, leave this to me.” Zhu Hongwu’s voice suddenly came out from the golden spiritual fountain inside the Imperial Palace.

The fountain waters, which were infused with the Supreme Reign Divine Light, suddenly appeared like it was boiling as the golden fountain waters rippled and air bubbles popped all over.

The water level quickly dwindled and was gradually drying up, while a golden figure stood up from within.

That human figure appeared like a Buddha statue that had allayed all his doubts and had thrown away all his burdens. He also appeared like a formidable demonic god that could bring down the heavens.

The radiances receded, and this figure was the appearance of one of the Buddha’s Ten Great Disciples, Upali. However, just as he rose up from the waters, his appearance swiftly changed and eventually transformed into Zhu Hongwu’s original physical appearance.

Zhu Hongwu stood up like a Buddha statue and the golden lights around his body completely dissipated. His skin color returned to normal, which was pale like white jade, but his statue-like body seemed to contain incredible power.

The surging red lights across hid body vanished entirely and Zhu Hongwu lowered his voice as he said, “I still can’t use that bastard’s flesh to understand the Celestial Sect of Wonders’ mantras. However, if we manage to live through today, and if you give me enough time to cultivate in peace, there is still a chance.”

“The only thing problem is that regaining my strength and my mastery using such a strategy means that I’m in an unstable state and I can’t fight for long.”

Liang Pan replied, “I have strength only for a few strikes as well. We will end this battle as quickly as possible, and victory is decided in this one moment. Just go ahead, Hongwu!”

“Yes, your majesty!” Zhu Hongwu was like a normal person at this moment and not a single ounce of power leaked from his body. It felt as if the formidable powers of martial way in his body had disappeared. However, his body flashed, and he was out of the Imperial Palace in an instant with a speed that not even Liang Pan could clearly see what happened and where he went.

Zhu Hongwu departed from the Imperial Palace and stepped across the space as he glared at Zhu Yi, who was on top of the Higan Golden Bridge. “You didn’t expect this, did you, bastard? You think you’ve taken away my mastery? All you have done was help me reach the next level!”

As he spoke, he raised his fist and punched out.

This wasn’t really a move, and it was simply him punching out with his fist.

However, the entire world seemed to quiver along with this action.

Ring after ring of Supreme Reign Divine Light integrated with his body, and the combined power of the Imperial Palace and the Great Heavenly Wheels were all infused into Zhu Hongwu’s body.

Liang Pan had surprisingly given up his control of the Imperial Palace and turned the entirety of his attention to channeling the Supreme Reign Divine Light.

At this moment, the combined power of the Imperial Palace and the Great heavenly Wheels were all directed with this one punch from Zhu Hongwu and were entirely controlled by him.

Zhu Hongwu’s entire body became golden in color as his body appeared like glass. Vast auras of Buddhist martial ways were drawn out, and it was the power of the Upali Golden Form that was now merged with Zhu Hongwu’s body.

At this moment, not only were his martial ways thrown into the same furnace. The Imperial Palace, the Great Heavenly Wheels and the Buddhist Golden Form were three great entities that shared an existence at the pinnacle of power in the world today. With the help of Liang Pan’s Supreme Reign Divine Light, all three were concentrated into Zhu Hongwu’s punch and the fusion became amplified – it wasn’t just a simple addition of power.

Once this punch was thrown out, the most formidable power since the start of the battle appeared. All light, air, sound and everything else between heaven and earth began to decay.

All Zhu Yi and Shi Tianhao and the others could see was this terrifying fist, and nothing else.

“Heh…”

A sound suddenly rang out in the absolute silence. It was a faint chuckle, and it came from the summit of the Yingzhou Celestial Mountain – Lin Feng’s Avatar of Ares.

The Yingzhou Celestial Mountain, which was still moving towards the Fangzhang Celestial Mountain, abruptly stopped in its tracks. Lin Feng stood up as well from his cross-legged position and pointed into the sky.

“Are you throwing everything out?”

The Two Elements of Creation surrounding the entire world was speedily withdrawn, and the Crucible of Divine Lands was condensed into a single speck of light and flew into the center of Zhu Yi’s eyebrows.

The Yingzhou Celestial Mountain’s Nameless Ancient Formation expanded outwards with lightning speed, and replaced the Two Elements of Creation Formation to seal off the void. Lin Feng slowly sat down once more, and said to Zhu Yi, “Zhu Yi – just go ahead and fight, he can’t beat you.”

Zhu Yi listened to his words as he howled into the sky. His virtual entity exploded in size, and his head seemed to reach the heavens as his feet reached deep into the azure ocean, as if he filled up the entire region of the Ying Sea.
