Chapter 1945: Doomsday for Jun clan
It was similarly difficult for the cultivators of the Yun clan. They were already facing the Shangguan clan, who were at a similar level. The cultivators of Eastern Deity Island would also occasionally ambush them. On top of that, Ye Futian’s ability had suddenly skyrocketed. He kept killing Renhuangs from the Jun clan, making their decline apparent.
Yun Mu, who was battling Shangguan Hong, had a somewhat sullen expression. Aura of the Great Path pressed down on them from the sky. He had a cold and indifferent look as he glanced at Shangguan Hong across from him. He said, “Shangguan clan is also a force from the Penglai Continent. Is your clan planning to watch as Eastern Deity Island rises once again in the Penglai Continent? Eastern Deity Island has remained secluded for many years. Their ambitions are most likely grand. Shangguan Hong, are you willing to act as a pawn for them?”
Shangguan Hong remained unmoved. His expression was indifferent. Yun Mu was trying to incite him.
Both sides already had grudges with each other. Before knowing about Eastern Deity Island’s stance, the Yun clan probably already had the idea of joining forces with the Jun clan and finding an opportunity to eradicate the Shangguan clan. Now, Yun Mu’s words made it seem as though Eastern Deity Island was their common enemy.
Shangguan Hong clearly knew that they were not the enemy of Eastern Deity Island. He also knew the reason why Eastern Deity Island had been so reclusive.
Moreover, if Eastern Deity Island truly had the ability to suppress the Penglai Continent, who could stand in their way? Even large forces could not do so. Now, Shangguan Hong was merely going with the flow.
“Yun Mu, why didn’t you say this before?” Shangguan Hong asked. Another furious attack crashed towards the other party, knocking Yun Mu’s body back. This caused Yun Mu’s gaze to turn extremely sullen. His will swept across the entire battlefield. Ye Futian was still continuing his massacre. An eighth-tier cultivator had fallen. If this continued, the Renhuangs of the Jun clan would gradually be killed off, and the Jun clan would be utterly defeated.
At that moment, a heavenly might suddenly descended from the sky above. Golden divine light rained down. Divine palaces appeared in the sky above. Among the divine palaces, an elder stood. He looked down below. His aura was powerful beyond comparison.
It was the great elder. The eyes of the cultivators of the Jun clan lit up when they saw who had arrived. Their ancestor had come. Jun Xiaoyao led the Jun clan. He was their current leader. However, the strongest person in the Jun clan was this great elder. After handing the Jun clan’s management to Jun Xiaoyao, he no longer concerned himself with the matters of the Jun clan, leaving everything to Jun Xiaoyao. The great elder then went in seclusion to cultivate and train in his Way. He was trying to break through to the next Plane.
Although he had not succeeded for many years, his cultivation was already at the pinnacle of the Renhuang Plane. His abilities were terrifying. He was the behind-the-scenes figure of the Jun clan, the most powerful existence among them.
During this moment of crisis, they never imagined that the great elder would appear.
The cultivators of Eastern Deity Island and the Shangguan clan frowned when they sensed the terrifying aura. The ancestor of the Jun clan had arrived as well? His aura was terrifying. In an instant, the vast space was enveloped in a majestic power of the Great Path. The great elder of the Jun clan roared angrily. A heavenly might of the Great Path seemed to descend upon them, crashing towards the minds of the crowd. Many cultivators felt their blood and Qi churn. Their own Great Paths were being suppressed. All battles on the battlefield came to a halt because of his cry.
Shangguan Hong’s expression also changed slightly. He had not imagined that this old fellow would come out from his seclusion and that he had not died. On the contrary, his aura was so powerful. This would be somewhat troublesome.
“Supreme Deity Donglai perished many years ago. The current Penglai Continent is already not as it was before. Since Eastern Deity Island is not concerned with outside matters, why have you all come out of your seclusion?” the great elder of Jun clan interrogated with a voice that contained the suppressive power of the Great Path. A heavenly might of the Great Path descended from the sky. The cultivators of Eastern Deity Island all frowned when they sensed the aura. They realized that no one here could stand against this great elder.
As the great elder said this, he lifted his palm and pressed down on the space below. Instantly, it was as though the sky had collapsed. A gigantic divine palace plunged downwards. Everyone was covered by it. A few powerful cultivators released their own heavenly might of the Great Path to block the attack. However, their efforts were all suppressed and destroyed. They could not hold back the enemy’s attack at all.
“The Penglai Continent indeed is not what it once was before. Even though Supreme Deity Donglai has perished for many years, on the Penglai Continent, it is not your turn, old fellow, to act presumptuous,” a cold, proud voice cried out. The words were barely uttered when an elegant figure emerged from the forces of Eastern Deity Island, appearing like a peerless empress.
She took a step forward and immediately traversed the space, appearing before the other party. A Sacred Phoenix let out a long, loud screech. Illusions of phoenixes appeared all around them. At the same time, an extremely proud phoenix appeared. It spat out divine fire of the Great Path that melted everything in its path as it charged towards the great elder.
Divine palaces circled the great elder, preventing the divine fire of the Great Path from touching him. However, the enormous Sacred Phoenix spat fire, and its flames flooded the space, enveloping the divine palace. The divine palace was immediately melted and destroyed.
It was the Divine Fire of Wutong. The crowd looked at the divine fire. It was the divine fire that Supreme Deity Donglai had cultivated. It was very frightening and was a destructive fire that would never extinguish. However, it was also an endless divine fire that nurtured all living things.
“What you say is not wrong. Since you have gone into seclusion to cultivate, stay there. You have managed to live for so long. Why come seek death now?” the woman said as her hair fluttered in the wind. She appeared elegant and domineering. Her voice was authoritative. Under the ever-burning fire, the divine palaces were melted and destroyed little by little, causing the great elder of Jun clan to frown.
This fire was approaching perfection.
She was so powerful. The crowd was surprised when they saw this scene. The elder of the Jun clan might not be able to withstand the might of this fire. This great elder had an astonishing ability, but in the blink of an eye, he had been suppressed by someone else.
Was she a flawless level Renhuang? Some people thought to themselves.
That wasn’t right. If she were a flawless level ninth-tier Renhuang, she would be too powerful. The great elder of the Jun clan would not be able to put up a fight and would be immediately killed off. She must have refined the divine fire of the Great Path for her might to be so terrifying.
Rumble.
The great elder of the Jun clan had a cold look in his eyes. He was actually being suppressed by a little girl. He had lived for so long that even Supreme Deity Donglai was the same generation as him. Of course, even though they were members of the same generation, their statuses were different.
Yet, now, the successor of Supreme Deity Donglai was pushing him around.
Countless divine palaces circled them. A brilliant and majestic scene appeared in the sky above. He cried out loudly and raised his hand forward. The divine palaces that surrounded them immediately charged with unparalleled might in the direction of the Eastern Deity Island Island Lord.
Yet, at that moment, the Island Lord coldly snorted. A divine tree suddenly sprouted. It was a Divine Wutong. It covered the sky and blocked out the sun. Each leaf contained the power of the divine fire. The entire Divine Wutong was covered in flames that frenziedly spread. It blotted out the sky and immediately wrapped around the divine palaces charging down.
The divine palaces suppressed everything as they attacked. Yet, they were wrapped up in the branches and leaves of the ancient tree. The might of the divine palaces kept weakening. On top of that, the flames consumed the divine palaces, causing them to melt into nothingness before they managed to descend upon the Island Lord.
Buzz. The Island Lord’s fiery-red phoenix robe danced in the wind as her hair fluttered in the breeze. The Divine Wutong kept expanding outwards. Countless leaves flew out from the expanding divine tree. They swept towards the opponent’s figure, becoming a frightening storm.
In an instant, the leaves actually became the fiery-red flame feathers of a phoenix. A divine phoenix appeared and immediately enveloped the figure of the great elder of Jun clan. It spurted out flames that invaded the area where the great elder stood.
The silhouette of the great elder flashed, and the divine palaces enveloped his figure. He wanted to charge out of this domain of the Great Path. However, as the phoenix spat out flames, the Divine Wutong that covered the sky and blotted out the sun descended upon him. It swept over this space and completely sealed it off, forming an absolute domain of the divine fire of the Great Path.
It wasn’t going to end well for the great elder of the Jun clan. The cultivators watching this scene thought to themselves. This female Island Lord had powerful abilities. Her domain of the divine fire of the Great Path encapsulated her opponent. It was enough to kill him off.
When the cultivators of the Jun clan saw this scene, they were extremely nervous. Many of them had pale expressions. If the great elder was burnt to death by the flames, what would happen then?
Jun clan would be faced with a catastrophe.
No one had imagined that Eastern Deity Island would be so dominant. This female Island Lord, the successor of Supreme Deity Donglai who had never revealed herself in public, was actually so powerful.
The domain of the divine fire of the Great Path seemed to become ethereal. Within the domain, the great elder of the Jun clan was struggling. He wanted to charge his way out, but the Divine Wheel of the Great Path transformed from the Divine Wutong covered the sky and formed an absolute domain. If he could not withstand the might of the fire, there was only one possible outcome: death.
“It seems I have indeed grown old. My Jun clan will surrender and leave. If we encounter the cultivators of Eastern Deity Island in the future, we will let you have the right of way,” a voice called out from within the domain. The once domineering great elder of the Jun clan had begun to show signs of weakness in the blink of an eye.
This voice caused the members of the Jun clan to feel their hearts turn cold. They seemed to understand what was happening.
“Are you dreaming?” the Eastern Deity Island Island Lord replied indifferently. Her flames became even hotter.
“What does Island Lord want?” the other party cried out, his voice changing slightly.
“Since you have come here, just stay here,” the female Renhuang said in a voice that was still domineering. Not long after, there were miserable cries of agony. The other party’s voice became even more anxious as he said, “In the future, Jun clan is willing to follow the lead of Eastern Deity Island.”
“There is no need.”
The reply he heard was still delivered with an icy tone. Very quickly, even more cries of agony filled the air. The cultivators of the Jun clan felt their hearts thumping non-stop. They seemed to have already seen their own end.
If even the great elder was killed, how would they turn the tables?
Among the crowd, Ye Futian also looked towards Eastern Deity Island Island Lord. What he had witnessed today might still only be a fraction of Eastern Deity Island’s ability. In reality, this large-scale battle did not give Eastern Deity Island much trouble.
The fate of the Jun clan was already decided!
