History's Number 1 Founder

The purple clouds engulfed the red radiance shot out from Xiao Yan’s gaze and landed on the formation that had already been completely destroyed.

The formation that was flashing with dim white radiance initially turned purple all of a sudden. Amidst that purplish radiance, a streak of red light shone and moved a little, but it soon stopped.

The purplish light spread out and the size of the formation also became greater and greater. The formation patterns were revealed, overlapping and combining with one another.

When the purplish light settled down completely, the void space in the center of the formation opened up and red light prospered. A gate seemed to have opened right in front of Lin Feng and the others.

Lin Feng turned his head towards Xiao Yan and Zhu Yi, "Have the both of you gathered everything valuable in this world?"

Zhu Yi replied, "Yes, Master. But there’s not many of them."

Lin Feng nodded his head, "Since this is the case, let’s go then." After he finished saying, he entered through the gate that was opened, while Xiao Yan and Zhu Yi followed behind closely.

As they advanced, the ground that they were on was like the formless passageway when they first entered the Netherworld Sea. On the outside, there were countless disasters raging. They transcended the barrier and attacked Lin Feng and the others.

After being weakened by the passageway, these disasters became much milder. They were more brutal as compared to the ones in the small worlds of the Netherworld Sea, but Lin Feng and the others were able to deal with them. Zhu Yi didn’t even have to use the Higan Golden Bridge.

As Lin Feng walked, he asked, "Will summoning the powers of the Netherworld Sea cause any burden to the Nether Priest?"

After Xiao Yan and Zhu Yi looked at each other, they nodded their heads, "Although the Nether Priest tries his best to hide it, my observation tells me that he can’t fight a prolonged battle in that state. Not only is there a burden, the burden is rather huge too. Before even harming the opponent, he may be harmed first. There’s likely to be huge side effects."

Lin Feng’s gaze swept across the chaotic scenes in the Netherworld Sea, "Oh, this is also as expected. Only by controlling the entire Netherworld Sea will he be able to resist the Netherworld Sea from swallowing his energy."

The three of them continued advancing and after a long period of time, they finally reached the end of the passageway. The seemingly ordinary passageway was actually formed from countless overlaps of spaces.

The end of the passageway was another small world in the shape of a huge bubble.

As Lin Feng pointed with his finger, another purplish formation appeared. Red radiance flashed in the center of the formation and a hole was created. Lin Feng, Xiao Yan and Zhu Yi entered the small world through this hole.

After entering, the three of them immediately scanned their surroundings with their supernatural awareness, which extended into the far distance.

After a brief moment, Lin Feng and the other two shook their heads, "The Nether Priest is not here. Neither is the Emperor of the Dead. This is not the small world occupied by the Emperor of the Dead lineage."

Lin Feng was not disappointed though. This was also something that he had expected. What caught his attention was that this was not a fully primitive small world. Someone once lived here before, but it was still a long time ago.

"The Great Void Sect has been unable to open the small worlds of the Netherworld Sea and neither did the Gu Family managed to. Besides those who are completely clueless, there’s only one possibility left." Lin Feng turned his head to look at Xiao Yan. Xiao Yan and Zhu Yi shouted at the same time, "Wen Chiyang!"

Lin Feng nodded in approval, "Not bad, I reformed the formation spell, but the guidance within the Netherworld Sea originated from Xiao Yan’s understanding of the Netherworld Sea."

From the reaction of the Crucible of the Divine Lands, although Xiao Yan was unlikely to be the blood descendant or reincarnation of Wen Chiyang, they must have had possessed some kind of connection.

Xiao Yan took in a deep breath and looked afar, "I can feel that there are signs of life here."

The few of them continued to advance forward and Lin Feng paid close attention to things around him, "This world seems to be different from the one just now. It feels like…this world is much more stable and primitive. It’s as if this was the first world borne in the Netherworld Sea. The rest of the small worlds seemed to have branched out from this world."

This world was different from that small world that the Nether Priest possessed. This world managed to keep out all of the disasters from the Netherworld Sea.

"But those who live here will find it very limited in the area that they can move around. A large region of this world has not been explored before by anyone. It seems like those who lived here only moved around within a restricted region."

As he thought, Lin Feng observed a huge lake that appeared in the horizon, which seemed like a small-sized internal sea.

The eye-catching thing was that the lake was totally red in color. The surface of the lake flashed with a bright-red light.

On the lakeside, there was a simple building erected there.

Lin Feng and the others scanned this building and knew that it was empty. No one lived in the building and in the red lake, no one existed too. But this region was the only part of the world that exhibited any signs of life.

After analyzing the lake for a while, Lin Feng shrugged his sleeves and Yang Qing as well as Li Yuanfang landed in front of him. Tang Jun, Zhou Yuncong, Yang Tie and the rest also revealed themselves.

"It’s rare for all of you to enter the Netherworld Sea. This is a valuable experience for all of you. All of you must grab this opportunity." Lin Feng said softly. Yang Qing, Li Yuanfang and the rest all acknowledged his words by bowing.

Xiao Yan focused his attention on the red lake surface. He was slightly distracted and Zhu Yi looked at him, "Eldest Senior?"

"Feels like…there attracts me." Xiao Yan’s voice was a little low and he shook his head slightly. He retracted his gaze and turned to the small building, "Let’s take a look here first before we inspect the water of the lake."

Zhu Yi nodded his head and pushed open the door of the building. After that, he turned to Lin Feng, "Master."

Lin Feng entered the building first, while Xiao Yan, Zhu Yi, Yang Qing, Li Yuanfang and the rest followed him in.

The design of the building was simple and elegant. Although it was empty, it was not filled with dust. It appeared very clean instead.

But Lin Feng, Xiao Yan and Zhu Yi all knew that it’s not because someone tidied up the place often. On the contrary, it seemed like no one had lived in this place for very long.

As for why it was so clean, it’s because it was a mana projection by someone and this building was not a true construction.

"After so long has passed, this building has remained here. There’s no sign of it becoming more and more dilapidated. The powers of the person who constructed this building is indeed very impressive." All the junior disciples were in shock.

Zhu Yi also nodded his head slightly, "If Wen Chiyang is still alive, this is nothing. But he’s likely to have perished during the Middle Ages. For this building to remain here since the Middle Ages without any signs of collapse, it’s a miracle."

Lin Feng scanned his surroundings in the building. As he pointed with his finger, a streak of purple clouds spread in space. In an instant, it disappeared.

But in the building, a light projection was flashed suddenly. An image was then projected.

As he looked at the projection, Lin Feng asked, "Xiao Yan, I heard from Zhu Yi that both the Nether Priest and Shen Tuze had something to do with the death of your father. Was Shen Tuze lying or is it really true?"

While Shen Tuze sounded logical, his words were still unverified.

Xiao Yan’s voice was a little low, "Master, it’s true."

Zhu Yi said from one side, "The both of us fought the Nether Priest. After he escaped, I caught some of the aura that he left behind. Using Eldest Senior’s blood essence as a guide, I used the Return of All Appearances Spell to deduce that there’s at least a 90% possibility that the Nether Priest was the one who killed Eldest Senior’s father then."

After Lin Feng heard him, he nodded his head, "If this is the case, we’re not at the losing end either."

Xiao Yan and Zhu Yi were a little curious as they looked at Lin Feng, "Master, you mean that…"

Lin Feng replied, "The both of you were used by Shen Tuze, but from this, we have found out the truth about the death of Xiao Yan’s father. I don’t think we have made a wasted trip then. Moreover, the winner of the first battle in war is not the overall winner. The person who has the last laugh will laugh the loudest."

"In the Netherworld Sea, the overall result will be determined in this world of the Netherworld Sea."

...

As Lin Feng and the others stumbled upon the old living quarters of Wen Chiyang, in another small world of the Netherworld Sea, there was a palace that was covered by black gas in the center, and which resembled the style of the Emperor of the Dead.

But in this palace, the atmosphere seemed to be suppressed. It was gloomy and amidst a sense of seriousness, there was a lot of impatience and frustration.

This was another small world created by the Nether Priest. After clashing with Xiao Yan and Zhu Yi, the Nether Priest brought the survivors over here.

The Nether Priest retreated in a quiet chamber and outside of this chamber, there were two battered stone statues.

"Shen Tuze, this fool whose judgment has been clouded because of a woman!" As they thought of the other two statues that were destroyed by Zhu Yi and Xiao Yan, they were furious, "It’s fine if he isn’t the match for Xiao Yan. But he actually led them into the Netherworld Sea and implicated Master. He deserves to die!"

"I’ve said earlier before that this bad habit of his will lead us into trouble. Master has been tolerating him, which has eventually led to this disaster."

As the two stone statues were conversing, they heard a voice rang, "Do the both of you mean that Master has done wrong? Is it very nice of the both of you to talk about Master behind his back?"

A youth in black with a calm expression appeared outside the quiet chamber. He was Shen Tuze.

The two stone statues were stunned and one of them even groaned, "You still have the cheek to say. Even if you can win Xiao Yan, so what? Lin Feng is in the Ancient Longevity World and he can rush over any time. His second eldest disciple even possesses a destiny level magic treasure. There are also members of the Great Void Sect in the Ancient Longevity World. How foolish can you get to offer yourself?"

Shen Tuze acknowledged their grouse, "I can resonate with what the both of you think."

"Oh?!" The two stone statues felt that something was not right. But before they could react, Shen Tuze whipped out both his hands and as a black light flashed, his hands had already stabbed the bodies of the statues like knives.

While the powers of the two stone statues were strong, they were hurt by Zhu Yi and Xiao Yan earlier. The statue on the left was damaged more critically, and was directly crushed by Shen Tuze.

The statue on the right was in a daze as it saw that it was stabbed. It wanted to struggle, but it was out of strength already. It could not even mutter a word.

It opened its mouth wide and glared at Shen Tuze. Shen Tuze’s lips curled into a smile and revealed a light smiling intent. As he retracted his right hand that crushed the other statue, he used his index finger to gesture to the last surviving statue not to make any noise.
