History's Number 1 Founder Chapter 1402 – The Alliance of the Demons

Translator: Sparrow Translations Editor: Sparrow Translations

When Shi Tianhao returned to the Divine Lands, the first thing he did was to send the information to other powers.

Without asking, everyone knew that the demonic aura near the inter-world passageway into the Barren Expanses above the East Sea was from the current leader of the dragons, the Origins Dragon King!

Many years ago, before the Hades Tribe returned and when the Origins Dragon King was still in his Vipralopa Stage, he was already the most powerful demon. Other than the monkey, who could not be traced after the end of the Middle Ages, the other demons, including the Earth Dragon King and the Heavenly Grandmaster Grand Sage, all recognized the Origins Dragon King as the most powerful demon.

Earlier, many dragons preferred to conceal themselves in the Black Sea and cultivate. Hence, it was hard to obtain news that the Origins Dragon King had successfully completed his Second Tribulation of Destiny.

If not for the fact that Lin Feng stirred up trouble in the Barren Expanses after the Mount Shu Battle, many cultivators in the Grand Celestial World would not know about the true extent of the Origins Dragon King’s progress.

Since the last War of the Two Worlds, he was able to recover quicker than expected from his period of weakness.

However, like the Hades Tribe, the Origins Dragon King met with the second successful enhanced cultivation of Lin Feng’s Heaven-Destroying Sword.

Lin Feng vowed that as long as he remained in the Greater World, he would not allow the Origins Dragon King to leave the Black Sea. If not, he would surely be slain.

Today, the master of the Black Sea and the leader of the dragons finally returned to the Greater World.

However, the Origins Dragon King did not come with pomp and fanfare. The reason he was able to leave the Black Sea was that Lin Feng had left the Greater World for the Spirit Sea.

This certainly made the Origins Dragon King feel humiliated.

However, he did not even enter the Divine Lands. All he did was to remain in the Barren Expanses.

While Lin Feng had left the Greater World for the Spirit Sea, his terrifying Heaven-Destroying Sword was still suspended over the Divine Lands.

However, the Origins Dragon King’s demon powers were vast. Through the inter-world passageway, he was still able to send tremors through the Divine Lands.

Waves crashed violently in the East Sea and a storm raged. Tsunamis could even be seen. Despite being in a separate world, the Origins Dragon King’s powers terrified the human cultivators.

In the Divine Lands, at the border area between the Great Zhou Empire and the Great Qin Empire, Xuan Li sat and stared at the sky above. She was expressionless as she looked at the East Sea. Her cold gaze was emotionless.

She, who normally sat unmovingly, finally stood up and walked into the sky. She crossed the lands of the Great Zhou Empire and arrived above the East Sea.

When she stepped off the coast and into the sky above the sea, the tempest was momentarily calmed.

An invisible border appeared above the sea. Behind Xuan Li, all was calm. Before her, a storm raged.

With each step she took, the storm retreated. The turbulent ocean became calm once again, and the tectonic plates and underwater volcanoes underneath the sea regained their peace.

However, in the inter-world passageway above the East Sea and on its opposite end, the aura of the Origins Dragon King became more and fainter. It seemed to be on the verge of disappearing.

Yet, the Origins Dragon King did not leave. He was observing Xuan Li’s movement.

The location the Origins Dragon King picked was interesting as well. The entrance into the Ying Sea, controlled by the Celestial Sect of Wonders, was above the East Sea too.

Without anyone guarding, he may actually enter the Ying Sea directly and cause mayhem over there. With his powers, in Lin Feng’s absence, no one could treat his possible entrance lightly.

The leader of the dragons, faced with the blade of the Heaven-Destroying Sword, learned to swallow his pride. His voyage this time was to let himself be a bait to control Xuan Li, creating opportunities for the Shen Dragon King and the Earth Dragon King.

In this battle, all of the powerful dragons left the Black Sea for the Greater World.

If Xuan Li decided to take care of the Earth and Shen Dragon Kings instead, the Origins Dragon King would lead the attack.

His destructive powers could not be underestimated.

However, the Origins Dragon King feared Xuan Li as well. Hence, he did not dare to act too aggressively. If Xuan Li attacked him with intention of killing him, the Origins Dragon King would retreat back into the Black Sea.

When he sensed Xuan Li’s sword will, he retreated immediately. If they really were to come into contact with one another, it would be difficult for him to escape even with his control over the Black Sea and its ceremonies.

He did not want a quick battle against Xuan Li, which would then let him retreat quickly from the battlefield. This would give Xuan Li the opportunity to deal with the other dragon kings.

While he was extremely frustrated that he was being humiliated as such by Lin Feng, the greater humiliation to the Origins Dragon King was still the Great Qin Empire’s Immortal Dragon City.

The Immortal Dragon City of yesterday was Shi Xingyun of today.

This was not a matter of the Origins Dragon King’s personal pride, but it concerned the face of all dragons. The main reason the dragons left their homes this time was to kill Shi Xingyun and destroy the Great Qin Empire!

When Shi Tianhao heard about the Origins Dragon King’s movement, he understood his intentions immediately. Gritting his teeth in rage, he thought, “You are taking advantage of the uniqueness of the Black Sea’s ceremony, which allows the Earth and Shen Dragon Kings to return to the Black Sea immediately. If not for that, I will battle all of you to the death. Since you covet my sect’s Ying Sea, I shall pay a visit to the Black Sea. I want to see what can Undying Demon Soul Third Level dragons do to the Black Sea and whether you guys can block me.”

He exhaled and a cold light flashed in Shi Tianhao’s eyes.

Bad news came non-stop. The four powerful Vipralopa demons that had descended onto the Divine Lands did not go and fight their nemesis, but instead, they stuck together and went straight to Mount Shu!

Four powerful Vipralopa Stage demons were all headed for the Mount Shu Sword Sect!

When the human cultivators received this news, their hearts sank, including the higher echelons of the Great Qin Empire.

The Qin Emperor, Shi Zongtang, felt as if he could not take a breather. His heart sank even deeper.

Because of this target, it meant that the apes and the dragons had truly allied. This was no mere pairing, but instead a well-coordinated alliance.

The reason they attacked Mount Shu Sword Sect was simply that it was nearer to them compared to Xiling City.

The alliance of four Vipralopa Stage demons, coupled with their many subordinates, created a powerful shockwave. They planned on destroying Mount Shu, before trampling Xiling City underneath their feet.

The Earth and Shen Dragon Kings did not fear that the apes would retreat immediately after Mount Shu had been flattened. Both the Heavenly Grandmaster Grand Sage and the Crimson Gorilla Grand Sage required the presence of the Origins Dragon King to control Xuan Li.

The Origins Dragon King, who had experienced the Second Tribulation of Destiny, was the one holding their alliance together.

By allying together, it was also more beneficial to all the demons involved.

By attacking Mount Shu Sword Sect and Xiling City separately, the apes and dragons had to face the two most powerful human powers separately, as well as deal with the unique geographical advantages the humans enjoyed at Mount Shu and Xiling City.

By coming together, even if the Great Qin Empire and other human cultivators rendered assistance to the Mount Shu Sword Sect, they would only have to deal with the geographical advantages the humans enjoyed at Mount Shu.

Success and failure depended often on a single factor. A small change in the battle would lead to chain reactions, which would affect its overall results.

Shi Tianhao used a Voice-Projecting Crystal and said, “Sister Xingyun, the situation is deteriorating. I’m afraid you need to go to Mount Shu.”

At this moment, Gu Jun was already on his way to the western region of Mount Shu with the Longevity Lotus Seat.

While the descendants of the Emperor of the Ancients did not have such deep animosity against the demons, compared to the Celestial Sect of Wonders, the Great Void Sect, Mount Shu Sword Sect and the Great Qin Empire, Gu Jun did not hesitate to render assistance to Mount Shu Sword Sect.

The top cultivators of the Celestial Sect of Wonders and the Great Void Sect were all in the Spirit Sea, leaving the Divine Lands empty. The descendants of the Emperor of the Ancients were another major human power.

At this moment, everyone’s fate was inter-connected and that was why the Gu Dynasty too decided to render assistance.

If the Celestial Sect of Wonders and the Gu Dynasty did not render assistance, the Mount Shu Sword Sect would collapse very quickly in the face of an attack from four Vipralopa Stage demons.

The same principle could be used for the Great Qin Empire. If they did not concentrate their strength, the demons would sweep through all resistances easily.

Shi Tianhao soon received a reply. A clear and elegant voice, evidently Shi Xingyun, said, “Relax, Tianhao. I am on my way.”

Regardless the outcome, battling at Mount Shu was advantageous to the Great Qin Empire. It would spare Xiling City.

Hence, all of the powerful Great Qin cultivators headed toward Mount Shu.

After all, in the past few years, the ties between Shi Xingyun and the Celestial Sect of Wonders were excellent.

In terms of blood, she was a distant relative of Shi Tianhao. However, Shi Tianhao always addressed her respectfully but not intimately, just like how he treated the Great Qin Empire.

At this moment, Shi Tianhao’s sentiments for the Great Qin Empire did not change, but his relationship with Shi Xingyun was much better.

Since her rebirth, she spent much time cultivating in the Ancient Desolate Galaxy using the Celestial Sect of Wonders’ gate to the Starry Sea. This benefitted her greatly.

Without the Great Qin Empire, she would still respond to his call for help.

At this moment, a storm gathered above the Divine Lands.

Mount Shu Sword Sect, which had isolated itself for many years (other than a short period during the War of the Two Worlds) and was slowly fading out of everyone’s consciousness, became the new focal point in the Divine Lands.

This was not something that the Mount Shu disciples took joy in.

Especially at the moment when the Heavenly Grandmaster Grand Sage, the Earth Dragon King, the Shen Dragon King and the Crimson Gorilla Grand Sage appeared in the skies above Mount Shu. They felt an immense and terrifying pressure upon them.
