History's Number 1 Founder
chapter-1168

The Grand Celestial World was now covered in battles and bloodshed right now. There were ultimate battles between the more powerful cultivators. In the places that they did not fight in, lower level battles that were perhaps more intense and violent were also in the midst of being fought.

In another alternate plane of space, many black figures danced in space and let out loud “Omnonomnom” sounds. Together, these sounds became very deafening.

There were many huge, weird worms that roamed in the Heavens and Earth. From the looks of it, they seemed like huge beetles. The biggest was as gigantic as a mountain peak and the smallest was still at least the size of a water tank.

These weird-looking worms were called Black Scorpion Beetles. They were entirely black in color and the bottom of their huge belly extended with a long tail. This tail that they had were separated into different sections and curled at the end, just like a scorpion’s tail.

As these Black Scorpion Beetles roamed, concentrated blood light revolved around their bodies.

As a huge number of Black Scorpion Beetles gathered together, they appeared to be a tidal wave that covered the sky. They were exerting pressure towards a mountain peak not far from the opening to this alternate plane of space.

Beams and beams of light rings shone from the mountain peak suddenly, masking the entire mountain peak. Each of these light rings were formed from connecting talismanic words amidst white radiances that gathered in ring shapes.

The talismanic words kept on spinning and the light rings did the same too. The power concept of perfection was revealed from within and erected a powerful defense.

There was a youth in purple with an average-sized built on top of the mountain peak. His clothing was embroidered with Taiji Diagrams. His sleeves were embedded with 3 black horizontal lines, that resembled the image of the “Qian” trigram.

This youth was the First Disciple of the Heavenly Temple of the Celestial Sect of Wonders, Yang Tie.

He was already in the Nascent Soul Stage and all his disciples had already formed the Aurous Core. As he roamed outside, everyone called him the Tian Tai Master.

He unleashed the World Spell of Turning Heaven’s Will, which possessed an immense defensive strength. The Black Scorpion Beetles outside might only be Demon Generals that had formed the Aurous Core, but they appeared in large numbers. The change in quantity was sufficient to initiate changes in quality. Among them, there were even many Demon Lords that had already formed the Demon Soul that led everyone into battle.

But Yang Tie remained calm and unleashed his move. This protected the mountain peak that he was on and curbed the attack of the opponent.

Beside him, a bunch of Heavenly Temple disciples exhibited their own moves and attacked the Black Scorpion Beetles.

Although the Black Scorpion Beetles’ shells were tough, they could not resist in the face of Sun Xue’er and the rest of the Descendant Disciples of the Celestial Sect of Wonders. Very quickly, they were all brought down like wheat that’s chopped.

Sun Xue’er stood beside Yang Tie and her eyes were ice-cold. She conjured a spell with her left hand and held it in front of her chest. Her right index finger and thumb touched while the rest of her fingers straightened, slashing towards the beetles in void space.

Vapor like ice crystals appeared in void space and the Heavens and Earth fell with snow directly.

The entire Heavens and Earth seemed to turn entirely ice-blue and the temperature in air dipped significantly. The Celestial Sect of Wonders’ disciples that were of lower cultivation beside Sun Xue’er all felt a sense of chill.

The power that Sun Xue’er summoned was the Xuanming Primordial Water, one of the Six Great Primordial Waters.

It was different from the Xuanming Primordial Water summoned by the Mantra of Xuanming of the Yu Family. This Xuanming Primordial Water turned into an ice fog that was foundationally more exceptional and was also stronger, apart from the extreme chill it brought about.

As Sun Xue’er swept her hand across, a rainbow that seemed to be formed from an ice soul extended across the sky. A seven-colored radiance was emitted.

Many Black Scorpion Beetles were froze by this rainbow. The brutal aura in their eyes dimmed and were extinguished gradually. Their life color was also lost.

The Celestial Sect of Wonders’ disciples that were permitted to participate in the War of the Two Worlds were all at least in the Aurous Core Stage. To them, they were unafraid of this Black Scorpion Beetles who were in the Demon General level, even though they might seem very ferocious.

The only problem was that they came in extremely huge quantities. They attacked in waves and even from all directions. It was very difficult to cope with their attacks.

Under such a circumstance, it was often not advisable to react according to the opponent’s move or observe what the flaws of the opponent could be like a normal battle.

Especially since they were exposed to extreme danger. Even if they defeated 1, 2 or even more of them, it didn’t mean that they had achieved victory for sure. In the next instant, more of them could still appear and overwhelm them.

Or on another side, in an unrelated battle, the attack of one party might be avoided by another party and this attack could travel all the way to them, bringing about the risk of death.

There were all sorts of perils everywhere. They often came unexpectedly too. It’s best to take precautions.

However, to these Celestial Sect of Wonders’ disciples, they felt that they were not alone in battle. Around them were their fellow seniors, juniors and elders. They could trust the others around them to watch their backs or sides. They just had to focus on what was in front of them and exterminate the enemy quickly, accurately and viciously.

When any of them made mistakes that were exploited by the enemy, their comrades would have killed the enemy before it could even inch closer.

But it was without a doubt that the situation was very chaotic and things changed all the time. Over here, everyone had to be focused and agile.

Yang Tie remained composed and forsook his attack, focusing on his defense. With him at the front and a few Advanced and Intermediate Aurous Core Stage disciples watching the Black Scorpion Beetle Kings in the enemy’s camp, the pressure on the rest was relieved significantly.

Under such a circumstance, Yang Tie, Sun Xue’er and the rest were also glad to let the Celestial Sect of Wonders train up their skills, increasing their experience and abilities.

“Among the third-generation disciples, Yuan Yu and Yuan Lin are pretty outstanding.” Sun Xue’er waved her right hand and an ice bow appeared in the sky. A Black Scorpion Beetle King in the Beginner Demon Lord stage was froze directly.

She turned her head slightly and looked at Yang Tie. Yang Tie nodded his head, “Although they are still very delicate, they are improving well.”

The third-generation disciples of the Celestial Sect of Wonders were addressed with the Daoist code of Yuan. Yuan Yu and Yuan Lin were both successive disciples of Yang Tie. They were Ye Xinhui and Xu Miaoying’s Daoist name.

Ye Xinhui’s hair was snow-white. As he clasped his palms, his body also flashed with a snow-white radiance. And this white radiance subtly presented a treasure tree in void space.

The crown of the tree was not huge and only covered a few square radii in area. But above this snow-white treasure tree, radiances resembling snow flowers spread in all directions. They landed on the bodies of the Celestial Sect of Wonders’ disciples. This allowed the flexibility of their initiation of powers to improve remarkably.

In a real battle, even the slightest of time and distance could make a huge difference. While Ye Xinhui did not attack on his own, his influence on the battle was above that of the Aurous Core disciples of the Celestial Sect of Wonders.

The elder uncles or seniors and juniors beside him were all prepared earlier. They covered Ye Xinhui and allowed him to do his job without being distracted.

Whereas as Xu Miaoying fought, glimpses of Xu Yunsheng could be seen by Yang Tie and Sun Xue’er.

She was stable but didn’t lose her sense of sharpness. She rarely made any mistakes and her offense and defense were equally good. Even in this much more chaotic environment, she remained meticulous and forward-looking. She did not seem to be panicky at all.

And when she needed to be merciless, she did not seem to lack the courage and determination. She was decisive and proceeded with great caution.

As compared to Xu Yunsheng, Xu Miaoying’s style seemed to be more radical.

She was 70% similar to Xu Yunsheng in terms of appearance and she was very beautiful. But in her eyes, she revealed a look of determination and resilience.

Sun Xue’er smile, “She doesn’t want others to look after her because of Senior Yunsheng. Senior Yunsheng has left for so long without returning, which has also left her very confused. But this confusion has turned into anticipation and the drive to improve.”

“This is because of the meticulous guidance that you have given her, Yang Tie.”

Yang Tie shook his head slightly, “I can’t take the credit when Yuan Lin is the one who worked hard to get where she is today.”

Sun Xue’er turned her attention to the other side, “However, Yuan Xing is still the best among the third-generation disciples in the Heavenly Temple although Yuan Yu and Yuan Lin are not ordinary. Although the teaching methods of Senior Luozha are questionable, the effectiveness of them is here for us to see.”

Over there, there was an indifferent looking young lady. She wore a purple costume. She was a disciple under Ying Luozha, Meng Honglou. Among the third-generation successive disciples of the Celestial Sect of Wonders, she was the first to form the Aurous Core.

Since she was the first to form the Aurous Core, her Daoist name was supposed to be Yuan Chu (Chu in Chinese refers to the beginning or initial). However, it was changed to Yuan Xing under Meng Honglou’s request. Promises had to be fulfilled.

As the first among the third-generation disciple, she remembered the initial target that she had.

As she looked at the Black Scorpion Beetles, Meng Honglou whipped out a huge bow. Like an archer, she unleashed an arrow with the bow.

A beam of starlight was shot out and it exploded in mid-space. It was as if the stars had been crushed and more than 10 Black Scorpion Beetles were killed in one shot.

This was the special reward she was given as the first in the third-generation disciples to form the Aurous Core. It was the Star-Slaying Bow. With just one arrow shot out from it, the damage on the Demon General level beetles was immense.

This bow was very miraculous and it was very difficult for an Aurous Core stage cultivator to control it. But in Meng Honglou’s hands, it seemed very obedient.

One Black Scorpion Beetle was closing ground on her from one side. Meng Honglou grabbed hold onto the bow and her stance did not change. Her other hand stretched out suddenly and easily grabbed hold of the scorpion tail of the beetle. After that, she wrenched it hardly.

As that beetle lost its balance, Meng Honglou’s huge bow in her left hand slashed down like a huge knife. This caused the beetle to be slayed.

Meng Honglou’s expression did not change. She threw the remaining half of the beetle’s corpse away before stretching the bow again.

Yang Tie looked at her and sighed slightly, “I can’t fathom her. Neither do I want to.”

Sun Xue’er appeared with a bitter smile on her face after hearing his words.

And at this point, the beetles caused an uproar suddenly. A brutal strength crushed void space. A streak of black light flashed across and stabbed a Black Scorpion Beetle King who had formed the Demon Soul to death. Amidst the chaos, the beetles panicked as they tried to deal with the new enemy.

Yang Tie and Sun Xue’er could not help but smile as they looked at each other.
