History’s Number 1 Founder

The Galaxy Beam!

The majestic beam radiated within the void, looking as though it could tear apart the galaxy and penetrate through the entire universe.

Yang Qing’s haughty voice echoed in the void. And what replied his arrogance was the disintegration of Sikong You’s body into nothingness upon coming into contact with the Galaxy Beam.

Sikong You was about to activate his Ghost Replacement Spell, he found his body strangely immobilized and locked on by the Galaxy Beam. Hence, he could only wait for his impending death in resignation.

His virtual entity would be reduced to a cloud of black smoke and then diffused in the void while his immortal soul would shatter in the next instant.

“Netherworld Immemorial Grand Cataclysmic Curse!” Sensing his imminent death, Sikong You activated his immortal soul as streaks of black light was emitted from his body towards all direction.

However, under the radiance of the Galaxy Beam, all of the destructive black light was reduced to nothing.

Sikong You looked up in disbelief at the other end of the Galaxy Beam to find the rotating Taoist logo.

What he was staring at was Yang Qing’s palm.

At that point of time, Sikong You realized that any struggle would be futile as his virtual entity would only face the fate of being destroyed completely along with his immortal soul!

Yang Qing stared calmly at Sikong You, “So? It seems like the spell which the Emperor of the Dead had placed on you can only work once… No wonder it’s quite miralculous.”

Sikong You stared at Yang Qing as he spoke with resignation, “Never did I expect myself to die at your hands.”

“Your life was transformed by Zhang Lie. And Zhang Lie was manipulated by me. At the bottom of things, in order for you to achieve your revenge agenda, you would have to kill both Zhang Lie and myself.”

Yang Qing shook his head, “There’s no meaning in saying any of these anymore. From what I see, the Emperor of the Dead is the true villain. And since you’re on his side, I must kill you. It’s that simple.”

Before Sikong You could give any reply, his immortal soul was finally destroyed by the Galaxy Beam!

King Wuguan and the new King Songdi had both died in the hands of Yang Qing!

The way Yang Qing had turned the tables shocked the Cang Heaven Spell Blade, Gu Yuankai, King Yanluo, Mo Xiuluo and the rest. They were also equally frightened at Yang Qing’s new found powers.

Shen Qifeng ‘s master was Shi Tianfang. But during the fateful war, he had followed the Emperor of the Dead secretly to train in his techniques. In fact, back then, Shen Qifeng was once considered as an up and coming prodigious talent who was even more outstanding than his master, Shi Tianfang. He was projected to become a titan in the world of cultivators.

After the fateful war, Shen Qifeng returned to the Samsara Sect to take over the role as the leader. He then went into low profile along with the sect. His disappearance from the larger scheme of things resulted in many forgetting about him. But what many did not know was how the Emperor of the Dead had continued to observe him as he had the intention to take him in as his fifth disciple.

But then it was already too late now. Regardless of how there were expectations placed on him or how much he had achieved, death had caught up with him. He had become the tribute to the success of Yang Qing’s first battle after attaining the Immortal Soul stage.

Sikong You was once an elder of the fearsome Million Wraith Sect. After the destruction of the sect, he was the only immortal soul stage cultivator to have escaped from the disastrous event. He was considered amongst the elite, especially with his incredible mastery of the ghost techniques. He was definitely the creme de la creme amongst the Immortal Soul Second Level cultivators.

Sikong You had become one of the Emperor of the Dead’s trusted henchman and had followed his plan to control Xu Anda, Zhang Lie and the rest.

But today marked the end of Sikong You’s incredible life story as he had also died in Yang Qing’s hands

For Gu Yuankai and the Cang Heaven Spell Blade, they had seen the abilities of Xiao Yan and Li Yuanfang and hence, they did not find Yang Qing’s feat too extraordinary.

However, they were still mildly amazed at how victory came by so easily and how Sikong You and Shen Qifeng stood no chance at all. They did not even have a chance to escape at all.

At this moment, a loud howl could be heard from the other side of the Heluo Heavenly Gate Formation. Much anguish and resignation could be heard from the howl.

And that howl came from the Cakravarti King.

After being trapped within the Heluo Heavenly Gate Formation, the Cakravarti King had suffered much attack from the formation and could no longer hold the line against its attacks.

The powerful formation was very much like a mortar and pestle as it pounded hard against the Cakravarti King. The Cakravarti King was very much like a bug trapped on a spider web. The more he struggled, the more helpless he became.

In the meantime, there was no longer any notable sound from King Pingdeng. He had already exerted all of his energies and skills to steer his close-to-broken Boat of River Luo as he put on his final struggle.

Li Yuanfang sat calmly at the center of the formation as he released the necessary instructions and commands in an orderly and commanding fashion. Even though he was not as assertive and domineering as Yang Qing, Li Yuanfang exuded an authoritative and confident aura that seemed to set fate on a course which would be advantageous for him. He was well on course to smattering both the Cakravati King and King Pingdeng in the Heluo Heavenly Gate Formation!

At the same time, the humongous formation continued in its expansion as it enveloped another cultivator from the Hall of the Dead and another Beast God Puppet.

This formation was like a huge maelstrom that was sucking in all of the enemies around it.

Seeing how powerful the formation was, Gu Peng and the rest of the cultivators were very much split about it. Some chose to enter the formation to work with the formation to slay more enemies. Some of them were rather fearful and hesitant as they chose to stay clear of this massive killing machine.

Seeing this scene, the Cang Heaven Spell Blade thought, “Regardless of whether it was Wang Lin, Shi Tianhao or the two youths here, they are way ahead of their peers…”

Although Xiao Yan, Zhu Yi and the rest had all displayed spectacular performances, the most respected stage in the Grand Celestial World was slowly shifting from the periphery to the center.

Although Yang Qing, Li Yuanfang and some of the rest had only attained the Immortal Soul stage recently, they had already started to transform their humongous potential into actual spower. Hence, they were starting to be noticed for their incredible abilities.

But the Cang Heaven Spell Blade felt strongly that the Celestial Sect of Wonders would not be done with this. It was still at a stage of high speed growth.

Xiao Yan and the rest were still ascending the ranks quickly. As long as they were to stay safe and to learn how to protect themselves, their potential was unforeseeable.

The moment one were to stop and consider their potential, one would be overwhelmed as there would be no word better to describe than “unlimited”.

Gu Yuankai also held feelings that were rather complex. He was feeling emotions stronger than what the Cang Heaven Spell Blade felt after witnessing Zhu Yi, Wang Lin, Li Yuanfang and Yang Qing’s results.

“It seems like the rumors are real. All cultivators from the Celestial Sect of Wonders are able to defeat more cultivators from a higher level of cultivation the higher the level of their cultivation…” At this very instant, Gu Yuankai had an idea. “It seems like only the Great Void Sect can stand a chance against the Celestial Sect of Wonders. But if things were to continue in their own ways, the only opponent that the Celestial Sect of Wonders would have would be themslves!”

“In fact, one would be able to see the sprout of such a scenario already.”

If one were to connect this to the current situation in the war where the Great Void Sect was trapped in the dangerous situation at the Black Sea, Gu Yuankai, an elder who had always favored the Great Void Sect, started to harbor other thoughts.

Yang Qing released a loud howl in the void as he unleashed his immortal soul avatar before transforming into the Taoist logo once again.

Similarly, Li Yuanfang activated his immortal soul avatar.

Both of them paired up as they advanced into the battleground where the stronger cultivators like the Cang Heaven Spell Blade and Gu Yuankai were.

King Yanluo, Mo Xiuluo and the Brush of the Emperor of the Dead were all slightly demoralized as they watched the entrance of the two new immortal stage cultivators. They were already under immense pressure previously when they were facing Gu Yuankai, the Cang Heaven Spell Blade and the South Pole Treasure Calabash even though they had the help from the Bastille Black Dragon Puppet and the Heavenly Demon Ape Puppet.

The battle at this instant had started to swing in the favor of the Celestial Sect of Wonders and the Emperor Gu’s clan. The throng of powerful cultivators began their march towards the black spiritual altar.

King Yanluo, Mo Xiuluo and the rest were forced to take a few steps back as the room which they were given was continually compressed. As the line of defence continued to be pressurized, it looked as though their fight would soon be over.

The young Emperor of the Dead stood on top of the dark spiritual altar as he watched the action happening below him. He saw how King Yanluo and the rest were increasingly endangered and also saw how Yang Qing, Li Yuanfang, Gu Yuankai and the rest were pressing closer. However, he remained expressionless. But his eyes had turned completely black.

In an instant, the void on the other side of the spiritual altar began to tremble and a humongous blood cloud appeared. The cloud was so big that one would not be able to see where it ended as it continued to encroach half of the void in the battleground.

Li Yuanfang, Yang Qing and Gu Yuankai frowned as they exclaimed in unison, “Blood River Daoist?!”

The scary blood cloud exploded in its rumbling as boiling hot blood streamed out furiously like river water. Countless blood tributaries convened to form a humongous blood sea which swarmed towards all directions.

An elder dressed in white stood on top of the blood sea. The person was none other than the Blood River Daoist.

Gu Jun, partnered with the Longevity Lotus Seat, was able to fend off the attacks from the Blood River Daoist on Yan Nanlai. However, if the Blood River Daoist were to choose toretreat, Gu Jun would not have much choice but to chase after him.

Stalks of white lotus flowers ensued after the blood sea as they filled up the entire void. Following which, Gu Jun’s figure emerged into everyone’s sight.

After being refined into an evil soul, the Blood River Daoist might not be able to muster all of its power. But when it came to facing Yang Qing, Gu Yuankai and the rest, it would unquestionably be a one-sided affair.

After reuniting with the Emperor of the Dead, the Blood River Daoist regained much of his previous powers. Hence, Gu Jun found it increasingly hard to fight against him even with the help of the Longevity Lotus Seat.

Gu Jun did not intend to engage in a battle with the Blood River Daoist. STalks of white lotuses were released as they bloomed to form a defensive barrier to shield Yang Qing, Li Yuanfang, Gu Yuankai, the Cang Heaven Spell Blade and the rest from the Blood River Daoist’s attacks before they began their retreat.

Surprisingly, the Blood River Daoist did not chase after them. He simply stood in front of the black spiritual altar as his formidable blood sea surrounded and protected the spiritual altar.

Both Gu Jun and the rest as well as the relieved King Yanluo and Mo Xiuluo were all very puzzled by the Daoist’s actions.

With the support from the Blood River Daoist, no one present could go near the black spiritual altar. No one interfered with Yan Nanlai, who was performing the Blood Soul Pacification Spell, either.

Everyone thought, “What is the Emperor of the Dead up to?”
