Chapter 2255: Sword of Annihilation
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
I need to kill a few big shots, or kill more of them at once, Ye Futian thought. His eyes looked around the vast space and then in one direction. There was a battlefield over there. Two powerful existences were currently engaged in a heated battle.
One of them was the Holy Land of Taichu’s Swordmaster of Taichu. The Swordmaster of Taichu had exceptional combat prowess. If he were eliminated, it would cause a pretty great impact. Succeeding the Swordmaster of Taichu, if he could further kill a few entities who had gone through their divine tribute, he could probably alter the current situation of the battle.
However, killing such figures did not seem easy as well.
What that in mind, Ye Futian’s spiritual soul assumed control over the vast realm that dwelled within Shenjia the Great Emperor’s body.
Boom! A horrifying gust of sword might erupt from the body of Shenjia the Great Emperor. Countless sword-shaped runes appeared around his body. This time, Ye Futian’s spiritual soul had seemingly tapped into a unique state. It felt as if he had completely merged with the body of Shenjia the Great Emperor. Beyond his spiritual soul, countless streams of light were flowing and fueling the power within Shenjia the Great Emperor’s body. His dreadful pupils gazed into the sky as if it could pierce through heaven and earth.
“This…” Many people looked at the area around Ye Futian’s body. Suddenly, the power of Shenjia the Great Emperor’s body erupted again and became even more horrifying. The wisps of Sword Will turned into an unceasing storm of Sword Qi that began raging across the earth. On top of Shenjia the Great Emperor’s body, one could even vaguely see the face of another person. It belonged to no other than Ye Futian.
The aces that were looking at him trembled on the inside. What was that supposed to mean? Could it be that Ye Futian wished to seize complete control over the sacred remain?
“All of you, back off.” At this moment, the body of Shenjia the Great Emperor uttered a few words. It was Ye Futian’s figure. Swiftly, the aces on Ye Futian’s side who were engaged in combat retreated. They seemingly understood what he meant.
Whoosh… A ghastly Sword Will swept across the sky and clamored vigorously. In the front of the seemingly infinite amounts of Sword Qi loomed a massive fissure. The Sword Will began to wreak havoc across the realm as if it was the Sword of All Manifestations.
Ye Futian. He was using the body of Shenjia the Great Emperor to unleash his own power!
The hearts of the aces trembled. If that was the case, how powerful would he be?
Nobody knew.
“Go!” Ye Futian shouted. All in an instant, Sword Qi enveloped the boundless space. Above the sky, there also seemed to be sword-shaped runes. For a while, everyone in the entire Heavenly Mandate City could see the sky full of Sword Runes infused with the power of annihilation.
“Be careful,” someone reminded him. Many powerhouses could feel the threat. It felt as if the body of Shenjia the Great Emperor had been completely replaced by Ye Futian and had become a part of him. If that truly had happened, he would be able to unleash his own techniques at will.
Boom…
Heaven and earth rumbled, and the dark fissure engulfed the realm. In front of the body of Shenjia the Great Emperor, a sword that felt as if it could destroy everything in the world appeared. In front of the sword, a ginormous rift emerged and was getting deeper and deeper.
“We gotta leave.” Having sensed the intensity of the power, somebody spoke up. Immediately, people wanted to retreat.
The Swordmaster of Taichu even ripped the space apart and headed into the void. His expression altered likewise. Evidently, he did not expect that Ye Futian would be that much of a maniac. To unleash an attack of such a level, how badly would it exhaust his own spiritual soul?
Nobody knew. Maybe only Ye Futian himself was aware of it.
He might be taking a gamble.
He wanted to unleash a destructive blow and finish off his enemies, not enemy.
“Let’s retreat.” Even the aces that were spectating the battle in the distance began retreating. This boundless space was seemingly enveloped by Sword Qi, especially by those that originated from the sword in front of Shenjia the Great Emperor’s body. The sword seemed invincible, and no one had the courage to face that blade. Whoever that taken a strike from that blade would most probably perish.
The people on Ye Futian’s side retreated underneath him. In that way, they would not be affected by the wrath of the sword. In the distance, the aces of the Dark World and Empty Divine Realm were also retreating and departing the domain. Evidently, they also felt afraid.
As for the powerhouses who were previously engaged in combat, all of them were fleeing in different directions. The scene had every spectator in the distant Heavenly Mandate City shuddering in pear. A bunch of top aces was actually fleeing because of a streak of sword might.
Lord Taixuan stared at the sword. Likewise, ripples of emotion emerged within him. This was the sword he passed on to Ye Futian, the Fleeting Swordsmanship.
Now, Ye Futian was preparing to use the power of Shenjia the Great Emperor to unleash an attack with this sword to wipe out his opponent.
The body of Shenjia the Great Emperor had already fused with Ye Futian. The body’s face looked just like Ye Futian’s. His eyes were extremely sharp. He looked into the sky and pointed. All of a sudden, a sword was discharged.
When the blade was unleashed, heaven and earth crumbled, and unceasing amounts of Divine Swords pierced through the void and swept across all existence. The sword in the middle went all the way up. The powerhouses witnessed what was called “crumbling heaven.”
It was like the Heavenly Path collapsing and everything turning into nothingness. All that went into the fissure of nothingness would collapse and perish. The sword passed through space, penetrated the fissure, and began to tear the surrounding area apart. This tearing force became more terrifying as it gave rise to a boundless black hole above the sky.
“No…” A miserable scream sounded. People could see the body of an immensely talented cultivator shredded into pieces within the fissure. He died with a crumbled body and a shattered soul. It was pathetic. He did not even get a chance to escape.
This terrifying storm continued to wreak havoc as it moved towards the distance. Those powerhouses who were fleeing were also entrained into the stream and slaughtered. They were completely powerless against that force.
Horrible screams sounded continuously. There were also miserable shrieks. In the advent of the sword attack, a plethora of aces perished into dust.
In the distant dark fissure, the Swordmaster of Taichu moved his sword and unleashed an earth-shattering attack. The surging stream of sword energy cleaved space apart. He wanted to escape. However, everything was collapsing. No one could escape, including him.
What’s more, this sword was aimed right at him.
When the attack fell, the river of sword energy unleashed by Swordmaster of Taichu was destroyed bit after bit. He looked at the scene in front of him, feeling only despair and a sense of disbelief.
He was the person in charge of the Holy Land of Taichu’s Taichu Sparring Grounds. He was one of the strongest existences across the entire Taichu Domain. However, even he could never expect that he would die and plummet after arriving in the Lower Realm.
Why would this happen?
Besides, the one who killed him was a mere level six at the Renhuang Plane.
Boom… The Divine Sword of Annihilation plummeted. Just like the others, the body of the Swordmaster of Taichu shattered into dust. From then onward, the Holy Land of Taichu lost one of their top aces.
The cultivators in the distance were rendered speechless by this scene as they gazed at the ravaged space. Was this swordsmanship something that a mortal could perform?!
