History's Number 1 Founder

Ning Wan'ge was rooted to the spot as her body froze. Her entire being slipped into a sluggish existence as the colorful lights around her body flickered incessantly - it was clear that she had completely lost it.

The Rotary Turtle Grand Sage glanced at Ning Wan'ge and thought to himself, "There's something wrong with this person. How can she slip into such insanity so suddenly? It's best that we stay away from her for the time being to avoid any other unforeseen circumstances that will ruin out advantage. We shall take care of the others before we turn our attention to her."

The prowess displayed by Wang Lin astonished the Zhujian Grand Sage, the Rotary Turtle Grand Sage and the other powerful demons.

Even though he was up against a powerful demon like the Zhujian Grand Sage who had already gone through the tribulations and ended up being injured by his opponent as well, he still possessed great fighting abilities and kept the Zhujian Grand Sage on guard. A single lapse in concentration would allow Wang Lin to turn the tides with his unpredictable tactics and his surprisingly powerful spells.

( Boxno vel. co m ) The Rotary Turtle Grand Sage's opponent also wasn't just anyone, it was a Mahayana-level magic item that had existed since the Antiquity Age, the Cang Heaven Spell Blade of the Nine Treasures of the Heaven's Gate. The Great Nine Heavens Holy Sword Technique was on full display and the ferocity of its aggression forced even a powerful third-level undying demon soul stage demon like the Rotary Turtle Grand Sage to focus on his own defenses.

The Cang Heaven Spell Blade continued to transform. It started with the Southeast Yang Heaven Sword, which was inspired by the Grand Sun Primordial Fire of the Golden Crows, to trigger the Solar Flare which was eventually converted into a scorching sun. The force of attack was brutal, and caused the Rotary Turtle Grand Sage to continually ramparting the spaces around him.

Once he was aware of the actions of the Rotary Turtle Grand Sage, the Cang Heaven Blade immediately decided that a violent frontal attack wasn't the key to breaking through or advantageous in overcoming the defenses of the Rotary Turtle Grand Sage. His sword stance changed, and became an insidious streak of sword radiance that flashed with green. The sword radiance was like a needle as it searched for loopholes and weaknesses in the defensive spells of the Rotary Turtle Grand Sage.

This was the Yuan Heaven Sword, and it possessed a form that was crafty and sinister as it was designed to search for weaknesses in the opponents' defenses. Furthermore, there was a trace of the concept of power used by the Azure Dragons' Azure Dragons Flames, which could dispel the mana of other individuals.

The eyes of the Rotary Turtle Grand Sage sparkled and unleashed his true form. His colossal size resembled an independent island drifting in midair while his head and his four limbs were retracted into the shell. Even if the sword radiance of the Cang Heaven Spell Blade slashed through the barriers he created in space and struck onto his body, it would be stopped by his thick turtle armor.

When the Cang Heaven Spell Blade was preparing to leave him behind and target the others, the Rotary Turtle Grand Sage's body that was withdrawn into the shell spiraled into sky and crashed straight towards the Cang Heaven Blade with a precision and force so terrifying that heaven and earth trembled with his movement.

The Cang Heaven Blade laughed coldly and said, "I've been waiting for you."

As his voice dropped, the ancient Cang Heaven Spell Blade's sword radiance flowed and abruptly became illusory and obscure.

After using the You Heaven Sword, which was inspired by the lineage of the Dark Emperor, to dodge the attack from the Rotary Turtle Grand Sage, the sword radiance of the Cang Heaven Spell Blade transformed once again. It was converted into the Xuan Heaven Sword, which was dense and heavy and the sword mind locked onto the Rotary Turtle Grand Sage as the blade slammed down.

The pressure from this swipe caused the swift movement of the Rotary Turtle Grand Sage to slow down in an instant.

Just as the sword was about to strike the shell of the Rotary Turtle Grand Sage, the Xuan Heaven Sword transformed back into the Yuan Heaven Sword as the sinister sword radiance directly entered the tiny hole at the head of the Rotary Turtle Grand Sage.

The Cang Heaven Spell Blade had no trouble switching between the various sword stances. The different forms were no longer simple swordplay, they were as good as separate mantras on their own, and every stance seemed to give birth to an entire lineage of spells.

The Rotary Turtle Grand Sage wasn't just any demon after all. The head that was withdrawn into the shell grunted deeply as the space in the empty hole at the front of the turtle shell collapsed in the blink of an eye, and transformed into a tiny black hole that swallowed the sword radiance whole.

Another black hole appeared in a location far away from the battlefield, and the dirty-green colors of the sword radiance surged out from over there.

The Cang Heaven Spell Blade thought to himself, "The command and control of this demon over space is truly impressive."

The azure green light flashed by in the void, but didn't dissipate. In an instant, the sword radiance reappeared before the Rotary Turtle Grand Sage and reignited the assault.

At the same time, the Cang Heaven Spell Blade didn't stop his own movement as he lunged towards the Rotary Turtle Grand Sage with unstoppable force.

The Rotary Turtle Grand Sage was as cunning as he could be, and returned to his original defensive stance of withdrawing into the turtle shell and focused on protecting himself.

Only when the Cang Heaven Spell Blade wanted to change his target and lend a hand to Wang Lin and the others did the Rotary Turtle Grand Sage launch his own assault. However, once he hindered the movement of the Cang Heaven Spell Blade, he returned to his original state of defense.

The Cang Heaven Spell Blade himself was extremely experienced in battle an attempted to set a trap by playing along with the pattern and desperately searched for an opportunity to severely injure the Rotary Turtle Grand Sage. However, the pure defensive attitude of the Rotary Turtle Grand Sage gave no quarter to the Cang Heaven Spell Blade, and he felt like there was nothing he could do.

The defensive stance of the Rotary Turtle Grand Sage gave the Cang Heaven Spell Blade most of the initiative and allowed him to help Wang Lin and the others. However, the repeated interruption from the Rotary Turtle Grand Sage highly limited his effectiveness and his efforts were ultimately futile.

The true form of this old turtle greatly boosted his physical strength and his demonic powers. Even if he clashed head-on with the Cang Heaven Spell Blade, he actually had a chance of victory.

However, the Cang Heaven Spell Blade was a magic item with a knack for offense and aggression. The battle would then be over in a second, even before the victor was determined.

The Rotary Turtle Grand Sage didn't have enough confidence to win the fight with this method, hence he was more content with dragging out the battle.

The Cang Heaven Spell Blade completely understood the intentions of this old turtle.

The demons were dominating the other matchups.

Even though Xu Anda didn't have any magic items, he wasn't afraid of the Feiyi Grand Sage and unleashed his entire arsenal against his opponent, who had revealed his true form. This battle was ongoing but both parties were at an impasse.

However, when he attempted to stop the expansion of the Twelve Sages Heavenly Revolving Formation under the instruction of Wang Lin and the Heavenly Gods-Sealing Banner, he gave up his defenses for the assault and took a direct hit from the Feiyi Grand Sage. It was hard for him not to be at a disadvantage as he continued to fight the Feiyi Grand Sage.

Fortunately, he took after the lineage of the Emperor of the Dead and his regenerative and protective abilities had their own authenticities. If other third-level immortal soul stage cultivators took this strike from the Feiyi Grand Sage, their situations would be a lot more perilous and they would irrevocably be defeated by the relentless onslaught from the Feiyi Grand Sage afterwards.

Even so, Xu Anda was still pressed down by the Feiyi Grand Sage and this exasperated him.

On the other side, the battle between Wang Lin and the Zhujian Grand Sage was reaching its climax.

Wang Lin had the Extreme Rebirth Spell and could recover his mana and strength with unfathomable speed to cover for the damage caused by the Supreme Destruction Spell. However, this spell sapped on his mana more than usual and the number of instances he could use it was highly limited in a short period of time. While he was a lot more powerful than when he first ascended to the immortal soul stage, his Destructive Stage of the River Styx and the power of his Polarity of Creation and Destruction was not unlimited.

If he didn't use the Supreme Destruction Spell, Wang Lin would be repressed by a demon as powerful as the Zhujian Grand Sage.

This was especially so as his arm was injured by the Turbid Wave Demonic Arrow and the wound needed a painfully long time to recover. The strike also affected his Dao foundations and further hindered his battle prowess.

However, he no longer needed to suppress the Tuo Kong Grand Sage and he didn't have to worry about the Twelve Sages Heavenly Rotating Formation anymore. This meant that Wang Lin was able to focus on his battle with the Zhujian Grand Sage. The Pearl of Styx above his head along with the waves of River Styx Primordial Water that swirled around couldn't be underestimated by the Zhujian Grand Sage even though he wasn't aided by the Cang Heaven Spell Blade.

The Zhujian Grand Sage was extremely experienced in battle. Even though he was in the Cardinal Tribulations Beginning Stage and Wang Lin was only in the first-level immortal soul stage, he started to employ guerilla warfare tactics once again.

Wang Lin had surprised him time and time again, and at this point he already viewed Wang Lin as a rival with equal capability. In a battle such as this, he only wished to defeat this enemy that posed a threat to him, and anything to do with his dignity or his honor was temporarily ignored.

His actions made Wang Lin's heart sink.

His situation wasn't great, and the Zhujian Grand Sage was no different.

This great demon used his own back as a bow to launch an arrow that was formed with his own blood essence, and his body would therefore inevitably enter a state of weakness.

However, the Zhujian Grand Sage had been recovering speedily since then. He was unwilling to clash with Wang Lin head-on not because he didn't have the power, but he didn't want to pay a high price for victory and this was the reason why he took to using guerilla warfare tactics. While he was whittling down Wang Lin's mana, his own powers gradually returned as he slowly regained his strength.

It wasn't hard for Wang Lin to predict the Zhujian Grand Sage's plan and his next move. When his strength was back at its peak, the Zhujian Grand Sage would attempt to close the distance between them.

The Zhujian Grand Sage wasn't too good with protective spells, but his pure physical strength was superior to most other demon races.

Once he attained an advantage in the battle, the Zhujian Grand Sage would channel the White Bone Blood Arrow once again and end Wang Lin once and for all.

If this strike couldn't eliminate his opponent, he would rinse and repeat the exact same process.

If he still failed in this endeavor, the Zhujian Grand Sage would switch tactics and pressure his opponent with his superior physical strength. However, he would want to grind down Wang Lin till his death.

The Zhujian Grand Sage's eyes were ice-cold. His expression was composed but merciless, and there wasn't a single trace of frustration and neither was he embarrassed about what he was doing. There was only patience, and boundless cruelty.

Wang Lin watched on with the same cold look on his face. If the Cang Heaven Spell Blade was by his side to split the burden and tag team against their opponent, the Zhujian Grand Sage's plan wouldn't be effective at all. However, the Cang Heaven Spell Blade was held back by the Rotary Turtle Grand Sage and Wang Lin could only rely on himself.

Xu Anda was also under immense pressure in his fight against the Feiyi Grand Sage while in his injured state. However, he was the most powerful cultivator imprisoned by the Heavenly Gods-Sealing Banner, and anybody else inside would have no chance against the Feiyi Grand Sage without any magic treasure. Rotating individuals from the banner was ineffective as well.

Of course, Wang Lin had another option - he could run away. Even if his opponents chased him down in an attempt to kill him once and for all, he would have a higher chance than he did now.

Someone else was thinking about the same thing.

The Tuo Kong Grand Sage's fury and wrath gradually dissipated and his desire for survival only grew stronger. Furthermore, if he met his end right here, the fate of the Golden-Feathered Great Rocs would enter a state of decadence worse than before. His thoughts stopped here as he took the first chance to fly through the void.

Neither the Zhujian Grand Sage nor the Bifang Grand Sage nor the other great demons did anything to stop him.

Even though capturing or killing the Tuo Kong Grand Sage was a bonus, their most important task and priority was the ring on Wang Lin's finger.
