Chapter 2153: Mark of the Earth
Nanhai Qianxue’s beautiful eyes swept toward Ye Futian. This was a man well-known in the region who achieved his notoriety in Four Corner Village and made considerable waves at the ancient royal family of Duan.
Of course, the Nanhai Family was not an entity with whom the ancient royal family of Duan could hope to be compared, one that was turning out many impressive figures in their younger generation. Naturally, she didn’t think that a Renhunag of Fifth Realm could be compared with her.
However, she felt a sense of threat from the person next to Ye Futian, and it was Fang Huan. He was also a cultivator from Four Corner Village. He stood quietly beside Ye Futian, but a slight pressure could be felt around him, especially when Muyun Shu asked her to attack Ye Futian. This man raised his eyes to look at her, and she was instantly alarmed.
She thought that Fang Huan, who was previously taken prisoner by the ancient royal family of Duan, was pressured by them to exchange the divine techniques for his freedom.
This man had made quite a name for himself after leaving Four Corner Village; his name was known even in the Upper Ninth Heaven. For some unknown reason, he was involved in a confrontation with the Duan Family and was taken prisoner. However, the two parties had now become allies rather than enemies, and this cultivator from the Four Corner Village was probably the one who could threaten her existence.
“Older sister need not trouble to take action.” A voice was heard as a man walked out from behind them. It was Nanhai Qing who had been to Four Corner Village. When he first entered Four Corner Village, he was full of youthful hubris. He wanted to join forces with the Muyun family to take over the village and procure an ally for the Nanhai family. Instead, he was publically humiliated by Blind Tie.
Previously, he had been standing quietly behind because Blind Tie was there, and he was too embarrassed to make his presence known. Now that Muyun Lan was busy dealing with Blind Tie, he would deal with Ye Futian himself.
Nanhai Qing stepped out, and Nanhai Qianxue did not stop him. In their generation, she and Nanhai Qing were the two most outstanding figures.
A wild aura erupted from Nanhai Qing. Suddenly, this space seemed to be filled with terrifying invisible giant waves, causing the Black Wind Condor and Xia Qingyuan to retreat involuntarily. Just the pressure of the Great Path alone felt hard to resist.
He took a step forward, and suddenly a heavy and coercive might swept out, slapping towards Ye Futian and the others. Duan Qiong remained calm, observing all this quietly. He knew very well that Nanhai Qing was the genius talent of the Nanhai family.
But, he had witnessed Ye Futian’s battle with the ancient royal family of Duan. He thought it would be hard for anyone to best Ye Futian, so he had strong confidence in Ye Futian that Nanhai Qing would not likely win.
Perhaps if Nanhai Qianxue got personally involved, there was a chance.
Ye Futian’s glance swept over Nanhai Qing, then landed on Muyun Shu, who was behind him, with an icy expression in his eyes. His patience with Muyun Shu had reached its limit. If it weren’t because the Nanhai family was behind him, he would have already killed the guy.
But even if he couldn’t kill him now, Ye Futian would never let him off the hook.
Extending his hand, a spear suddenly appeared in his palm. An extremely wild aura swept out in an instant with overwhelming fight intent. Ye Futian was surrounded by divine light, and the aura of the Great Path was escalating madly. What’s more terrifying was that a trace of demonic breath was released from him as the peacock divine light surrounded him. His temperament had become wickedly enchanting, and those wicked eyes of his made Muyun Shu feel very uncomfortable. A faint sense of terror was born in his heart as he felt Ye Futian’s murderous intent aiming at him.
With his brows tightly knitted, he squinted his eyes as he stared at Ye Futian with extreme sharpness, an unbridled look still on his face.
“Huh?” At this moment, Nanhai Qing frowned. The peacock divine glory was extremely radiant, and the sky was instantly filled with its glow. A tremendous vigorous aura of life erupted from Ye Futian. At this moment, the aura that came from Ye Futian was no less than him, a Rehuang of the Sixth Realm with perfect Great Path.
Many cultivators around them focused their attention on Ye Futian, and all of them felt the aura that permeated from him. Just how strong was this cultivator who rose from Four Corner Village?
Today’s battle with Nanhai Qing would be enough to attest his true prowess.
Nanhai Qing clearly felt Ye Futian’s power and did not dare to hold Ye Futian in contempt any longer. Behind him, ancient seals in the shape of squares continued flying out, and each of them seemed to contain terrible power, with characters engraved upon them.
Suddenly, hundreds and thousands of square ancient seals flew out, covering the sky and sheltering the sun.
Above this ancient seal, rays of divine light were deployed at the same time. Heavy and majestic power swept out. Its aura annihilated all existence, and everything that stood in its way was pulverized and destroyed.
When Ye Futian saw this, the same terrible divine light came from his body as well. When the wings of the peacock opened, the destructive divine light, like lightning, collided with the light of the ancient seals so that they collapsed and shattered in the void.
“Is that the light of the demon god?” Someone asked in shock.
“I heard that he robbed the opportunity of the Domain Chief’s Manor when he was in Donghua Domain and inherited the power of the peacock demon god. Now, the divine light of the Great Path was not any inferior to the light from the Mark of the Earth unleashed by Nanhai Qing when the two collided,” people were discussing amongst themselves.
The Mark of the Earth was one of the specialties of the Nanhai Family.
It was rumored that the ancestors of the Nanhai Family had obtained a divine item once upon a time, through which they cultivated the Mark of the Earth and the Hand of God. Alone, the power of each was infinite; using together, the combination was unequivocally unparalleled. The Nanhai Family had used them to dominate the area and became one of the top three transcendent forces in the Shangqing Domain.
The divine light emitted by the Mark of the Earth continued to overlap, seemingly without end. It seemed that countless divine seals were running through the void, aiming at Ye Futian, covering all the space where Ye Futian was at. All the rest of the cultivators except Ye Futian had retreated to avoid being affecting.
The peacock’s divine wings trembled slightly as the divine light emitted frantically, running through the overlapping illusions of the divine seals.
Nanhai Qing’s hands gathered to form another seal, and a phantom of thousand hands suddenly appeared behind him, as if these countless hands materialized from the ether. Above, hundreds of thousands of Mark of the Earth condensed and permeated the area with an unparalleled sense of heaviness. Ye Futian felt a heavy pressure had descended upon this corner of the sky.
Buzz!
Ye Futian stepped out suddenly and didn’t wait for Nanhai Qing to attack. He acted first as his entire person turned into a streamer of light, ignoring the space between them. With his majestic fight intent, he pierced the spear straight forward. All the seals were shattered in its path. Thousands of phantom spears appeared as a straight light in the void.
Boom… An incomparable pressure of the Great Path crushed this corner of the sky. Nanhai Qing slapped his palm forward, and it turned into a gigantic handprint that covering the sky. On the handprint was a character of the Great Path that shot out brilliant divine light, destroying all existence beneath the sky. Its power was astounding.
But at this moment, Ye Futian’s spear arrived, and it blasted directly on that boundless giant handprint.
Boom, boom, boom!
An unparalleled brilliance erupted from the long spear, and the crowd saw rays of divine light rushed into the great handprint and filled every crevice inside the handprint.
A crystal clear crunching sound was heard, and they saw those lights turned into cracks. Everyone found to their shock that the terrifying giant handprint broke apart madly. Then came a loud bang as it collapsed and shattered in the void.
The spear continued its forward movement and pierced straight toward Nanhai Qing. Numerous ancient seals behind Nanhai Qing gathered to form a massive divine seal that blocked him. Accompanied by a loud noise, the spear did not manage to tear it apart, but it could knock Nanhai Qing outward.
“How strong!” Everyone trembled inside when they watched the demonically handsome young man with his silver hair dancing in the wind. Nanhai Qing was a Renhuang of the Sixth Realm with perfect Great Path, and he was repelled by a single spear strike. The force was able to break all kinds of contraptions, and this one strike contained awesome might.
Pssst! The divine light of the peacock bloomed and was shining brilliantly. Ye Futian seemed to be shrouded in a mysterious demonic light. The divine brilliance that bloomed from him seemed capable of penetrating the shredded space. He glanced at Muyun Shu and continued moving forward with incredible speed.
At this moment, a figure stepped into the void. This figure was incomparably graceful, like a goddess. She raised her hand and waved. Suddenly a sight appeared, similar to the one when Nanhai Qing attacked. Infinite seals appeared suspended in the air as if directly destroy the space Ye Futian was in, imprisoning him.
Ye Futian didn’t seem to see it as his body accelerated with increased forward speed, almost to the extreme. Nanhai Qianxue frowned and saw the seals of the heavens gather together at a terrifying speed, suddenly turning into an infinite and boundless Mark of the Earth.
The coercion erupted from this divine seal slowed Ye Futian’s speed. Those characters lit up simultaneously as Ye Futian’s spear pierced upon the massive Mark of the Earth. This time, he could not break it open, as if the Mark in front of him was indestructible.
Buzz! The divine light shining on the Mark of the Earth was spinning, turning into a giant imprint that spun towards Ye Futian. Suddenly, Ye Futian felt the spear in his hand trembling wildly. If it were not a truly excellent divine item, it would probably have shattered a long time ago.
Boom!
Ye Futian’s body was repelled backward into the distance with a loud bang as he floated in the air, his eyes fixed on the divine seal in front of him.
“I’ll deal with him.” A voice was heard. Fang Huan walked past Ye Futian and headed towards Nanhai Qianxue, who was a Renhunag of the Seventh Realm with perfect Great Path, same as him. For her to attack someone like Ye Futian, who was in the Fifth Realm, was just unfair!
