Chapter 1853 War of Destruction
In the heavens above, at the edge of the sky, looking down from where they were, the Heavenly Mandate Academy was no longer in view. They could only see a huge landmass as they were already high in the sky.
A chaotic storm rampaged. Right now, the top figures of the Realms stood in various parts of the space.
Ye Futian stood in the center. Lord Taixuan, Emperor Nan, Divine Palace Palace Lord, and the others circled him. Right now, they appeared very calm as they looked at the cultivators in various directions. They were all top figures.
Most of the people who participated in this battle were still the local top cultivators of the Original Realm. After all, there were restrictions on the members of the Divine Prefecture. As long as they participated in this battle, they remained in the Original Realm for ten years without leaving.
Ten years was not a long time, but they still did not want to stay here for ten years. Moreover, the lineup to kill Ye Futian today was more than enough. There was no chance of them failing. There was no suspense at all.
Otherwise, Martial God Clan and Sky Reaching School would not have joined in.
Although they had some conflicts with Ye Futian, the hatred between them did not run deep in reality. The reason why they wanted to eliminate Ye Futian was primarily to prevent future troubles. The Heavenly Mandate Academy and their allied forces were too powerful. Once Ye Futian developed, the Heavenly Mandate Academy allied forces and the possessors of flawless Divine Wheels beside him would directly rule the 3,000 Realms of the Great Path.
When that time came, who could contend with them?
Setting aside whether or not Ye Futian would seek revenge on them, even if he didn't, other forces like Yuanyang Clan, Xiao clan, and many more forces were close to Ye Futian, whereas they had had friction with Ye Futian. If so, who would rise and fall did not need to be mentioned as it was understood in a glance.
Hence, Ye Futian had to die.
If Ye Futian perished, at least they could still maintain their current status quo.
When Shen clan and Golden Divine Nation approached them, they had agreed to act without hesitating for too long. Even Ye Futian could not escape from such a lineup. The plan was flawless.
As for the alliance of Divine Palace and Golden Divine Nation, they were not too worried. It was an alliance originally established to deal with the Heavenly Mandate Academy. As long as Ye Futian died, everything would end. They did not have so many scruples over it. They were not concerned about how the Heavenly Mandate Academy developed afterward; the cultivators of the academy would not be able to threaten these top forces.
They might be able to suppress the cultivators of the academy from time to time to keep them in check.
Even further away, on the outskirts of the region, many cultivators were observing the battle. Among them were cultivators from the Divine Prefecture forces such as the Song Imperial Palace and the cultivators of the Dark Court.
Of course, Princess Donghuang, Spear Emperor Du You, and the other cultivators were also here. They had personally come to observe the battle.
"Since the end result is determined, why do we need to fight this battle?" Jiao Ao, the College Chief of Tianshen Academy asked the cultivators of the Heavenly Mandate Academy.
"What does the College Chief want?" Emperor Nan responded to Jian Ao.
In reality, Emperor Nan also did not understand. Jian Ao was the person with the least reason to take action on Ye Futian. Regardless of how powerful the Heavenly Mandate Academy or Ye Futian were, the Tianshen Academy would still be the training holy land of the Central Emperor Realm. There was no harm even if the Heavenly Mandate Academy surpassed them. After all, they were not sects. Only the fame of Tianshen Academy would be affected.
If Jian Ao had come to kill Ye Futian for this reason, his reasons were insufficient.
"Emperor Nan, what are your intentions for joining this battle?" Jian Ao asked Emperor Nan back. Both of them could be considered the top cultivators of the Original Realm.
Emperor Nan looked at Jian Ao. He did not respond, and he did not get the answer he wanted to hear from Jian Ao.
Perhaps only Jian Ao himself knew.
Divine sword Qinghe flew out from Emperor Nan's hand and floated high in the sky. Instantly, endless green divine light enveloped the endless space. The light contained frightening and destructive Sword Will that seemed capable of destroying everything.
Divine Palace Palace Lord also took a step forward, and a towering Divine Mountain immediately appeared around them. It enveloped Ye Futian's figure within it. Divine Palace Palace Lord stood on top of the Divine Mountain. A stone tablet frenziedly expanded while emanating astonishing might.
Lord Taixuan also stood atop the Divine Mountain. Guqin strings of the Great Path appeared around them. He extended his hands and used the Great Path in the surroundings as his guqin strings to play a song. It was the Song of the Lost Divine.
From the sounds of the guqin, many people could sense sorrow as well as rage.
This seemed to reflect Lord Taixuan's current mood.
The Dou tribe clan lord and the leader of the Clan of the Seven Slayers, stood to the left and right. One of them emanated an overbearing spirit from his body while the other had a murderous intent on him that covered the endless space.
Xiao Dingtian and the clan lord of Yuanyang Clan also released their respective powerful auras. Dragon Master, Golden Raven Demonic Lord, Divine Elephant Emperor, and the other top figures of the Heavenly Mandate Realm surrounded Ye Futian, forming layers of defenses around him. In the sky, a frightening storm of the Great Path was swept up.
The cultivators on the other side stood at different locations, allowing the storm to bash against them. They similarly had astonishing auras around their bodies.
The three top cultivators of the Shen clan stood together. Divine halos emanated from their bodies. The brilliant halos destroyed all powers of the Great Path. An unparalleled spatial storm rampaged, cleaving the space apart.
The three top cultivators of the Shen clan all had Divine Eyes. They looked ahead at the sky above. Sharp blades that cleaved the space apart appeared from different locations and slashed towards where the cultivators of the Heavenly Mandate Academy were.
It was the Tianshen Cleave that could slash through all existences.
Under the frightening storm of the Tianshen Cleave, spatial cracks seemed to appear. Upon reaching the levels of the three top cultivators of the Shen clan, they could already rip apart the space of the Original Realm. Before, during the battle in the Shadow Realm, when Spear Emperor Du You and the Lord of the Underworld had fought, Spear Emperor Du You had forcefully penetrated the space of the Original Realm and led the Lord of the Underworld away.
Swoosh. A green divine light that was frightening beyond comparison radiated. Divine sword Qinghe flew out again from Emperor Nan's hand and directly pierced through the space. It stabbed up into the sky above. Endless green divine light swept out. When the menacing storm of the Tianshen Cleave reached the area of the green divine light, it actually gradually shattered into dust under the light. It was as though no attack could approach the domain of the green divine light.
The various cultivators stared at Emperor Nan. As expected of one of the peak existences of the Divine Prefecture. He used his domain to cover Ye Futian. If they did not have a powerful enough force today, it would have been truly difficult to kill Ye Futian. After all, the lineup of the Heavenly Mandate Academy was also terrifyingly powerful.
However, this time, it was also impossible for Emperor Nan to protect Ye Futian.
The winds and the clouds around them shifted. The destroyed Tianshen Cleave technique sealed this region within itself. They naturally could tell that Ye Futian's side was using an attack as a defensive measure. It was to protect Ye Futian within.
The two strongest cultivators of Golden Divine Nation stood in the sky above. It was as though they had become deities. Their figures became majestic and authoritative. They wielded golden divine spears in their hands. The Sigh of the Divine God sounded, and the Great Path resonated with it, blocking the sounds of the guqin. At the same time, formless destructive storms swept downwards.
Rumble!
Bolts of frightening golden lightning struck down from the sky. The two deities sent their two divine spears stabbing out at the same time. From the heavens above, a beam of light shone down. The heaven-slaying light immediately penetrated through the domain of the green divine light and pierced towards Ye Futian at its center.
Another huge rumble could be heard. The gigantic stone tablet appeared. It seemed to become a huge handprint that could block out the sky. It charged up towards the divine spears. Terrifying storms of the Great Path rampaged around them. The rumbling sounds persisted. The stone tablet released unparalleled divine light that attacked the two brothers of Golden Divine Nation, Gai Cang, and Gai Qiong.
The cultivators of Solar Divine Palace, Celestial Worthy Temple, Holy Land of Taichu, and other forces released heavenly might that filled the skies one after another. In reality, these forces had more than one top figure. Solar Divine Palace and Celestial Worthy Temple were branch powers of the Divine Prefecture. Top figures from both forces had come. However, these top figures had yet to act. They did not need so many people. The current lineup was more than enough to kill Ye Futian. Before they came, they had already discussed who would join the battle.
Solar Divine Palace Palace Lord stood high in the sky. The vast and endless land seemed to be covered by a sun. A frightening solar storm swept up. It was blazing hot. Even the power of the Great Path was burnt to ash and destroyed in the heat of these scorching solar winds.
He walked forward step by step until he was in the sky above the Heavenly Mandate Academy cultivators. The destructive solar storm continued to rampage. He extended his hand, and the endless power of the solar storm gathered within his palm. A Sun God sword immediately appeared.
This Sun God sword was forged from the Divine Fire of the Sun. The solar winds that circulated around the divine sword could incinerate all powers. He lowered his head and looked down below. With a palm strike, the Sun God sword immediately pierced through the power of the Great Path and continued shooting downwards.
Divine sword Qinghe shot up straight into the sky. Green divine light became a destructive storm that shot towards the Sun God sword. It caused the Sun God sword to stop descending. Two different powers gathered at one point, forming a destructive spiral of power of the Great Path. From the ground, this spiral appeared as though two devastating storms were swirling together. The scene was astonishing.
The lord of Celestial Worthy Temple pressed downwards with his palm. A huge rumbling sound could be heard, and a gigantic mountain-like handprint pressed down from above.
The Palace Lord of the School of the Emperor Star forged an unparalleled Ziwei grand matrix. Countless stars circled the grand matrix. The Palace Lord of the School of the Emperor Star wore a long purple robe. His long hair fluttered in the wind. Purple divine light shot out from his pupils as he looked down.
Instantly, the grand matrix of stars pressed towards the cultivators of the Heavenly Mandate Academy. In the middle of the grand matrix, there were pillars of destructive light that eradicate all existences.
The various top cultivators continued to attack. Each of their attacks contained might that could destroy the world. Individually, they were all giant figures who dominated their opponents. Behind them, there were still many mighty figures who currently had yet to attack. They were merely observing for now.
Princess Donghuang and the cultivators from the Dark Court could see this epic battle. From the tavern, Mei Ting's will was powerful enough to cover such a distance, so he also could observe the battlefield.
However, down on the ground, in all regions of the Heavenly Mandate Realm, countless people were looking up into the sky. They had no means of watching the battle. High in the sky, the destructive swirling storm of the Great Path covered the sky and blocked out the sun. Frightening divine light radiated. Even though they were very far away, the people on the ground could sense the heavenly might emanating from the heavens above.
Ordinary Renhuangs were not qualified to witness this battle. If they observed up close, they would be swept away and destroyed immediately!
