Chapter 2584: Revenge
The various major forces of the Divine Prefecture descended upon the Original Realm several decades ago. Starting from the Nine Realms, they began expanding outward. All of them already possessed their own territory.
As the strongest forces of the Divine Prefecture, the Ancient God Clans had naturally done the same.
As one of the most powerful Ancient God Clans of the Divine Prefecture, Tianyan City naturally did the same. They had established a huge territory in the Original Realm.
This region was called the Minor Tianyan Segmentum by Tianyan City.
It went without saying that, as the top Armory Zone of the Divine Prefecture, Tianyan City was extremely exceptional in some aspects. This Minor Tianyan Segmentum once floated deep in the Original Realm. It was surrounded by chaotic currents with extremely destructive power.
However, the cultivators of Tianyan City discovered that there were starry mineral deposits in this segmentum. Further within this region, hidden within the chaotic currents, they found a relic. With the terrifying power of Tianyan City, they walled off the area and immediately conquered and restructured it, forming the current Minor Tianyan Segmentum.
For the past few decades, Tianyan City had spent an extremely large amount of resources to restructure the Minor Tianyan Segmentum. They made this once desolate land into a prosperous region.
In order to prevent the Minor Tianyan Segmentum from being infiltrated by outside forces, Tianyan City had set up a powerful matrix outside of the Minor Tianyan Segmentum that isolated the space from the outside world. Only the core cultivators of Tianyan City could open this matrix and come and go freely.
Besides that, there were countless cultivators on the main planet, Tianyan Planet, of the Minor Tianyan Segmentum. They were all cultivators who had migrated over from Tianyan City. Most of them were craftsmen. Some were even proficient in forging.
Over the past few decades, they had already transformed Tianyan Planet into a city of gold. Golden divine light enveloped the entire Tianyan Planet. Of course, the surface area of the planet was not very big. It was even smaller than a small city of the Divine Prefecture.
However, there were also a few ancient stars around that contained mineral deposits. These deposits had formed naturally and could replenish themselves infinitely. Hence, the members of Tianyan City firmly controlled this area and mined these deposits. They used the minerals they mined in the construction of Tianyan Planet as well as transported them to Tianyan City via the spatial passageway.
Tianyan City placed great importance in the Minor Tianyan Segmentum. These mineral deposits were rare forging materials and were extremely precious. While other forces were busy fighting over the inheritances of ancient Great Emperors, Tianyan City had their eyes fixed on this place.
Right now, many cultivators were busy on Tianyan Planet.
At the same time, outside of the Minor Tianyan Segmentum, a group of figures appeared. The leader was Ye Futian.
Ye Futian and his group looked ahead. They could faintly see a light screen. A gigantic matrix enveloped the entire Minor Tianyan Segmentum, hiding it from the eyes of outsiders. The segmentum was hidden within the matrix. On top of that, the surrounding currents were turbulent. Hence, the segmentum was difficult to locate.
“It has been an arduous journey getting to this point!” Emperor Xi exclaimed. It took them quite some time to locate this place, even with the hints from West Imperial Palace. Without the hints, it would have been even more difficult for them to reach here.
Tianyan City did a good job in hiding this segmentum. The deeper they hid it, the more it showed that they placed great importance on this segmentum. The Tianyan City Lord Office was ambitious to claim this area as their own. They wanted to have absolute control over it and did not want others to set foot on it.
However, this segmentum would belong to Ye Futian and his group from now on.
“The matrix is powerful. Let me break through it,” Blind Tie offered. Then, he took a step forward, and immediately, a gigantic phantasm of a god appeared in the sky. It wielded a divine hammer and looked imposing.
The phantasm of the god slammed the divine hammer downwards and hit the light screen. The matrix shook violently as cracks appeared on it. However, it was not destroyed.
Blind Tie did not cease attacking. The god-like figure once again slammed its hammer down.
When Blind Tie delivered the first blow, the entire Tianyan Planet shook for a moment. This caused everyone on the planet to look at the sky as their hearts raced.
What happened? someone wondered.
It seemed like somebody was attacking the defense matrix of the Minor Tianyan Segmentum from outside.
Rumble. Yet another loud sound thundered. Everyone felt their hearts tremble.
Someone was invading the Minor Tianyan Segmentum! Clearly, they realized what was happening. Figures rose to the sky one by one. A terrifying aura was unleashed from a palace on Tianyan Planet. It was an aura unique to a Tribulation Plane cultivator.
The cultivator strode forward as he looked at the sky. Yet another intense rumbling sound could be heard. The matrix was shattered into pieces. A few silhouettes appeared in high heavens.
The spiritual soul of the Tribulation Plane cultivator on Tianyan Planet swept out. His will covered the vast space in an instant and headed upwards.
Once he stepped forward, his figure appeared above Tianyan Planet. He waved his hand, and a terrifying aura was immediately unleashed. Golden divine light illuminated the vast space. In the sky, a pattern appeared. It was akin to a matrix and could smelt all existences.
This was the Minor Heaven Tempering Enumeration. In the past, Tianyan the Great invented the Heaven Tempering Divine Method and created an imperial arm called Heaven Tempering Enumeration. His descendants in Tianyan City imitated his creation and made this Minor Heaven Tempering Enumeration. It was a Two-tribulation Sub-divine Arm with appalling might.
However, as the Minor Heaven Tempering Enumeration loomed over the space, a figure directly disregarded the long distance and appeared on the ground of Tianyan Planet. He went straight to the core region of the planet. There, a beam of spatial divine light pierced through the heavens and connected the planet with another place.
This was the passageway that connected Tianyan Planet to Tianyan City.
Ye Futian cast a glance at the passageway. Immediately, the space twisted and collapsed. The passageway distorted as a terrifying spatial storm was stirred up. Ye Futian waved his hand, and the passageway was severed right away.
His first step was to cut off the connection between Tianyan City and this place.
The cultivator, who was in midair, turned around quickly. His facial expression turned extremely ugly when he saw that the passageway had been destroyed. He glared at the silhouette with white robes and white hair as he roared, “Ye Futian!”
How could he possibly not recognize Ye Futian? In the Divine Prefecture, only very few people were unaware of his existence.
He turned around and looked at the sky. Five cultivators were standing there. Without exception, all of them were Tribulation Plane cultivators like himself.
His face turned pale. How could this lineup be so powerful?
Was the Ziwei Segmentum already capable enough to come up with such a frightening lineup?
Rumble. The Minor Heaven Tempering Enumeration expanded and blocked off the sun. It enveloped the vast space, shielding Tianyan Planet within it. The divine light of Heaven Tempering poured down on the five cultivators. At the same time, the cultivator of Tianyan Planet charged towards the high heavens as divine light surged from his body into the Minor Heaven Tempering Enumeration.
A menacing swirl appeared in the sky, intending to swallow everything around it.
Rumble.
“No!” Cries of agony could be heard.
The might of Minor Heaven Tempering Enumeration was too domineering. Many cultivators on Tianyan Planet could not withstand its power and melted right away. They screamed as they died. This technique would actually smelt even the allies of the user.
Buzz. Ye Futian appeared directly beneath the Minor Heaven Tempering Enumeration. Destructive swirling storm and light of catastrophe wrapped around his body, intending to smelt him. However, Ye Futian’s flesh was indestructible and remained unaffected.
This caused the facial expression of the Tianyan City Tribulation Plane cultivator to turn even uglier. He was in despair. Ye Futian was even more terrifying than the five Tribulation Plane cultivators.
He had no hope to win at all in this battle. Moreover, the passageway to Tianyan City had been ruined. He had no means to call for reinforcements. Only death awaited him.
…
In the Tianyan City Lord Office of the Divine Prefecture, figures rose to the sky one by one.
The entire City Lord Office had been thrown into chaos. At a core region of the City Lord Office, a spatial frenzy storm rampaged. The spatial passageway leading to the Original Realm had been destroyed, causing time and space to warp and go berserk.
Rumble. A shocking aura swept across the sky and loomed over the City Lord Office. It even covered the entire Tianyan City.
The Lord of Tianyan City floated up into the sky above the City Lord Office. All the cultivators had their gazes fixed on him as their hearts quavered. They were aware that their stronghold in the Original Realm had been attacked.
However, who was the invader?
“City Lord, what has happened?” a cultivator in the City Lord Office asked quizzically. They had yet to fully comprehend what was going on.
“Wang Yu has fallen,” announced the Lord of Tianyan City. His words put the cultivators in great dismay.
Wang Yu was the younger sibling of the Lord of Tianyan City. He had high standing and powerful cultivation. He was assigned to go to the Original Realm and hold the fort on Tianyan Planet while contributing mineral deposits to Tianyan City. Wang Yu’s position and ability were indisputable.
However, the Lord of Tianyan City had just declared that this younger sibling of his had fallen.
Wang Yu had fallen in the Original Realm. He was murdered.
“Who did it?” someone asked. Who dared to act so presumptuously?
Did someone from the Dark World or the Empty Divine Realm do it?
“He was killed by Ye Futian from the Ziwei Segmentum!” said the Lord of Tianyan City. His tone was as cold as ice, and his murderous intent filled the sky.
This familiar name caused the City Lord Office of Tianyan City to fall into a short period of silence.
It was Ye Futian from the Ziwei Segmentum!
