History's Number 1 Founder

Xiao Zhener greeted Lin Feng and the rest. After seeing Yan Nanlai, she said, "After Elder Wu came, he went in."

Yan Nanlai nodded his head without speaking. Lin Feng’s expression did not change too. Lin Feng said, "My disciple, Wang Lin, will rush here soon. He will then guard this opening. Time waits for no man, let’s go in first."

"Daohan, remain here and wait for Master Lin’s disciple." Yan Nanlai turned to Lin Daohan. Lin Daohan nodded his head, "Yes, Master."

Gu Jun looked at Xiao Zhener and sighed, "Zhener, come along with us too."

Xiao Zhener answered, "Thanks Father."

Lin Feng nodded his head and said, "Let’s move." After saying, he entered the crack in the Netherworld Sea. Yan Nanlai, Gu Jun and the Qing Ning Holy Man followed along.

After entering the crack, scenes of catastrophe met the eyes of everyone. When everyone saw these scenes, they felt terrified, but there seemed to be a barrier that was separating them from the catastrophes.

This barrier could not stop these catastrophes completely, but only weaken them. Thus, huge amounts of the Nefarious Spectral Primordial Fire, Blood River Primordial Water, Nine Nether Draught, River Styx Primordial Water and Avici Infernal Gale came attacking towards Lin Feng and the others.

But after being weakened considerably, they could no longer harm Lin Feng and the others. The bunch of them advanced quickly.

Lin Feng followed the trail that Zhu Yi and Xiao Yan left behind. He led the group and recognized the clues left behind.

The clues were all left behind by Xiao Yan, following a clear pattern. Since the way he placed these markers seemed to very organized, it meant that Xiao Yan did not lose his cool as he chased Shen Tuze into the Netherworld Sea.

Yan Nanlai also knew roughly what happened by now. He looked at Gu Jun and hesitated for a while before saying, "Your daughter is talented and it’s normal for her to have many admirers. But for such a thing to happen now, it’s too coincidental…"

Gu Jun remained normal and said while nodding his head, "Master Yan, your words are too kind. My daughter is only average. As for what Shen Tuze wants, I will ask him after I capture him."

As he said, everyone felt that this formless passageway that they were taking started to shake tremendously.

The passageway became unstable and the chaos in the Netherworld Sea became greater and greater. The already chaotic Netherworld Sea seemed to signify the Apocalypse, as the countless disasters struck.

Yan Nanlai and the Qing Ning Holy Man looked at each other, "Someone is summoning the powers of the Netherworld Sea!"

Lin Feng creased his brows, "Is it Comrade Wu from your sect?"

Yan Nanlai shut his eyes slightly before shaking his head, "It’s not him. I believe it’s a disciple from the lineage of the Emperor of the Dead. Since Shen Tuze can’t do it with his own powers, this must be by the Nether Priest or even the Emperor of the Dead."

Lin Feng muttered, "Surprises are everywhere. It seems like we have crossed paths now." Without further ado, Lin Feng increased his pace and continued delving deeper into the Netherworld Sea to explore. Yan Nanlai, Gu Jun and the rest also followed him closely.

But soon after, the more the Netherworld Sea raged with chaos, the more the chaos in the Heavens and Earth. The Heavens and Earth seemed to be on the verge of flipping and cracking.

And that passageway that they were using was starting to break down. Lin Feng, Gu Jun, Yan Nanlai and everyone creased their brows. In the next moment, the passageway was crushed!

Seemingly countless and unlimited Netherworld Sea catastrophes appeared to have flooded everyone before sweeping them apart from one another. They lost connection with one another as a result. In this environment, what they could do was only to erect their own defense to resist the oncoming blows.

Lin Feng did not rush to use the Dual Dimension Vacuum Charm to switch to his actual body. Rather, he lifted the Saros Magical Tree and a golden-black ray flashed. A branch floated above his head in a horizontal position, protecting him.

But the catastrophes of the Netherworld Sea were very brutal and unrelenting. The more they raged, the more violent they became. Even the Saros Magical Tree had to go on full defensive mode.

"This is even under the circumstance that I’m not targeted specifically, otherwise it will be even more intense." Lin Feng thought to himself, "As Wu Mengqi summons the powers of the Netherworld Sea, without consideration of the Power-Destroying Catastrophe, he contains the battling powers of a powerful Vipralopa Stage cultivator or destiny-level magic treasure."

"But I wonder, how powerful is the Nether Priest when he summons the powers of the Netherworld Sea? But the Netherworld Sea is so brutal. Without full control of the situation, summoning the powers of the Netherworld Sea might be a huge burden to the cultivator himself. The more the powers were summoned, the greater the burden would be."

Lin Feng pondered, "The other time, in order to resist the demons, Wu Mengqi flooded Mount Taishan and remained uncontactable for quite some time. He hid himself on Mount Baiyun and did not hold the fort in the Barren Expanses anymore. He must have been recuperating from some injury."

As he thought, Lin Feng summoned the defense of the Saros Magic Tree and proceeded cautiously within the Netherworld sea.

The conditions in the Netherworld Sea were very complicated. There was too much violence in it and the movement of spiritual energy did not seem to have any rhythm to it too. At the same time, it was very disruptive to cultivators who wanted to communicate using their powers. This prevented Lin Feng from contacting Xiao Yan and Zhu Yi.

However, Lin Feng left some spatial markers on his disciples. Even if they were disrupted, Lin Feng could still locate them based on the markers. But it’s just that the efficiency of doing so would be very low.

After advancing for some time, Lin Feng’s heart fluttered. As he looked up, he saw a beam of red light erected in the chaotic Heavens and Earth. It did not seem to be affected by the disasters all around. Even if the Heavens and Earth was toppled over and the world was crushed, it remained unmoved. It was like the core pillar of the Netherworld Sea.

But this light beam that seemed to support the Heavens did not bring about a sense of comfort to everyone. Rather, everyone felt petrified by it.

Lin Feng creased his brows slightly, "While it can be seen, it seems to be very far away. Even with my current knowledge of the concept of space, I find it difficult to come into contact with the light beam. This light beam seems to be the reason why the world of the Netherworld Sea is so distorted.

It felt as if an entire world was formed from intersected planes of space that overlapped over one another and shrank to its center. But it did not seem to connect to the external world, thus making it difficult to be contacted.

Lin Feng followed the spatial markers on Xiao Yan and Zhu Yi and continued proceeding forward. Suddenly, the space in front turned chaotic. Lin Feng’s expression did not change. He lifted his hand up and his palm was straight like a knife. He chopped towards the Netherworld Sea’s space-time turbulence.

The Fences of the Heaven was unleashed. The chaos in front turned clearer suddenly, but there appeared to be a huge, bubble-like, small world.

Lin Feng’s eyes brightened, "This is one of the small worlds of the many in the Netherworld Sea, isn’t it?"

As he scanned around, he couldn’t see other small worlds around.

Lin Feng retrieved the Barrier-Breaking Stone and opened an inter-world passage on the surface of this small world. After that, he entered this small world and the hole was created was quickly mended again.

Although disasters still continued to seep in, it was less brutal a before. As compared to the formless passage earlier, this was much more stable.

From the outside, this world seemed like a huge bubble. But after entering, the truth was that the space inside seemed to very vast.

After entering this world, the spatial markers on Xiao Yan and Zhu Yi became clearer. Lin Feng quickly found a palace, which did not seem very exquisite, but was very majestic.

But it’s just that the initially majestic palace had become half of what it was. It was obvious that it had just undergone a huge battle. Just by feeling the aura around this place, one could tell that this was done by Xiao Yan and Zhu Yi. Furthermore, inside this palace, the Nine Nether Draught, Blood River Primordial Water and other disasters were more concentrated and could be seen everywhere.

Two figures flew out from the pavilion. They were Xiao Yan and Zhu Yi. After seeing Lin Feng, they greeted, "Master, you are here."

Lin Feng looked at them and nodded his head, "It’s good that the both of you are fine."

Xiao Yan replied him, "I followed Shen Tuze into this small world. Initially, I thought of waiting for you to come here first before making a move, but I found out that the Nether Priest is very sly. He did not even find trouble with me and escaped. Out of choice, I had to attack and try to stop him before you come."

"After that, Second Junior came to give me a hand to fight the Nether Priest. He is indeed very dominant as he summons the powers of the Netherworld Sea. Fortunately, Second Junior has the Higan Golden Bridge. We were not on the losing end, but we could not keep him either."

Zhu Yi nodded his head, "He has been operating here for some time already. I don’t think that he only controls one small world over here. The Nether Priest used a formation that he set up to escape and even destroyed it. Before he left, he even tried to destroy this world, but fortunately, Eldest Senior has a great understanding of the Netherworld Sea and stabilized this world."

"We were just analyzing the formation that the Nether Priest destroyed, trying to see if we could give him a chase."

Lin Feng asked, "The Emperor of the Dead is not here?"

Xiao Yan and Zhu Yi shook their heads. After pondering for a moment, Lin Feng said, "Bring me to the formation."

After the three of them entered the battered palace, they went to a quiet chamber. There were two broken stone statues at the door of the chamber. After entering the chamber, the walls all around could be seen to be transparent. One could clearly see the disasters raging outside.

In the center of this quiet chamber, there was a formation flashing with dim radiance. It seemed to be moving, but Lin Feng could tell that it was already destroyed and was useless. Even for someone as powerful as him, it would be impossible to restore the formation.

Lin Feng analyzed the formation for some time before he turned to Xiao Yan, "I will try to re-form the structure of the formation. Supply me with relevant news of the Netherworld Sea Although this can’t point us exactly to the direction where the Nether Priest is going, I believe it can still help us locate the other small worlds. At this point, the more we know about the Netherworld Sea, the more valuable it is for us."

Xiao Yan nodded his head, "Yes, Master." His gaze flashed with bright-red radiance. In the red radiance, a huge number of talismanic words appeared. They were ancient yet mysterious.

"As expected, it seems to come from the same source as that red light beam earlier." Lin Feng appeared enlightened. As he pointed with his finger, the red radiance in Xiao Yan’s eyes was guided out and landed inside a ball of purple clouds. After that, the purple clouds landed on the formation that was flashing with dim radiance.
