Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
A murderous aura was invading their minds. At once, Ye Futian saw countless spirits rushing toward them with killing intent. Immediately, he expanded his mind into the domain of the murderous aura and noticed that it was formed under a specific condition. It slowly took its form as masses of corpses piled up.
Ye Futian caught sight of horrifying figures within this domain that belonged to the deceased cultivators. However, they were no longer themselves, but a fright of resentful spirits glided toward Ye Futian and the others frantically with murderous intent.
Ye Futian put his hands together, and his entire body was coated with the light of Buddha. It was covering every part of his body with a golden gleam, banishing all evil.
Bang! Those terrifying spirits thudded against the golden Light of Buddha, creating cracks all over. Ye Futian was astounded and thought, “The will of these resentful spirits hidden here is a little overpowering!”
Ye Futian’s Light of Buddha covered three people—Hua Jieyu, Hua Qingqing, and himself. The relentless attacks were directed at the light, causing the cracks to become bigger.
Right before it was broken into pieces, Ye Futian uttered the Buddhist mantra with the Sound of Buddha, turning them into runes and embedding them into the light. The Acalanatha Battle Form manifested at the center and covered the cracks.
However, the shockwave-like impacts gradually became more powerful. When they closed in on the mountain of undead, a silhouette of a demon could be seen with pythons surrounding it. At first sight, Ye Futian realized it was the Mahoraga.
A concentrated will of evil spirits manifested around the Mahoraga and traveled in Ye Futian’s direction as they turned into demonic figures.
Crack! Fissures appeared on every visible part of the Acalanatha Battle Form, and it was finally reduced to ruins. Ye Futian was stunned by the sight of it. At his current cultivation level, almost no one could make him budge once he activated his Acalanatha Battle Form. Even a second-level Tribulation Plane cultivator’s repertoire of offensive skills would prove to be futile in the face of his defenses. Yet these wills broke through it like it was a piece of paper.
Furthermore, the most terrifying of them all had not even moved from its spot.
Emitting the Light of Buddha on their bodies, the Sound of Buddha manifested as runes and turned into a Buddhist Lamp around Ye Futian and Hua Qingqing. It assimilated into the Light of Buddha Ye Futian released. Simultaneously, Hua Jieyu discharged the light on her body and incorporated it into their Buddhist Power.
A demonic glint flashed across the Mahoraga’s eyes before it rushed toward them. The Light of Buddha shattered immediately after a loud bang was heard. A dreadful force flew in Ye Futian’s direction, consuming everything in its path and intending to devour their minds.
Wasting no time, Ye Futian took out his Sky Tremor and hammered at the evil force that was hot on their tails while bringing the other two out of that domain.
The entire fabric of space was vibrating following a loud boom. Then, the three of them appeared at a faraway location, which was out of the domain. They were still trembling as they stared at the mountain of the undead. Even though they could no longer see the ghastly sight, the quake that contained the Power of the Great Path, caused by the Sky Tremor, could still be felt.
Not even the attacks of the imperial arm could destroy the mountain of the undead. So it came as no surprise that the notorious mountain would stand in the path of travelers all this time.
“Ye Futian.” Xi Chiyao came up to Ye Futian and said, “Please be careful. Many people had been devoured and died there.”
Xi Chiyao knew how formidable the mountain of the undead was after she inquired about it.
“Yeah. This mountain of the undead has turned evil. I initially thought of purging it with Buddhist Power. But it looks like we have to make our way through this place by force now,” Ye Futian declared while striding forward with the imperial arm in his hand. At that time, he suddenly became the center of attention because all of them had launched attacks at the mountain of the undead earlier, but it wouldn’t move an inch.
Ye Futian leaped into the sky and moved forward, launching the terrific Tremoring Pulse toward the mountain of the undead. But it was blocked by a mighty force at the moment of contact. It went without saying that this mountain was reigned by the Will of the once glorious Great Emperor—Mahoraga the Great.
Hum! Turning the Force of the Great Path inside his body into the Buddhist Power, Ye Futian infused it into his Sky Tremor. At once, the Light of Buddha radiated on the Tremoring Pulse around his weapon.
When the Sound of Buddha was being reverberated, a silhouette of Buddha manifested in the atmosphere all of a sudden, causing many powerful cultivators all around to turn and look at Ye Futian. Then, he could be seen lifting his Sky Tremor and charging toward the mountain of the undead.
A destructive storm swept across everything before his eyes. Countless will of evil spirits burst out when the attack hit the mountain of the undead, filling up the entire domain with resentful spirits. However, the Tremoring Pulse covered with the Light of Buddha purged everything in its path. All the remnants were wiped off from the face of the planet.
A powerful will manifested and turned into a gigantic phantom of Mahoraga. However, it did not escape the fate of being exterminated.
Bang! Everything within sight disappeared into thin air following an ear-shattering blast. The colossal mountain of the undead was reduced to nothing and ruin. The powerful Tremoring Pulse opened up a path, blowing everything to bits as it moved further into the horizon, making echoes in the process.
“It has opened!” Numerous cultivators came closer as they witnessed Ye Futian annihilating the mountain of the undead and opening a path toward the front.
Was that the land belonged to the Mahoraga Tribe? What would be hidden inside?
“The Tremoring Pulse of Sky Tremor has vanished completely.” Ye Futian felt multiple powerful auras coming from a distant location as he stared at the sight before him. He could feel their presence strongly, although they were far away.
“Follow me!” Ye Futian piped. With that, all the cultivators from Ziwei Imperial Palace and West Imperial Palace gathered together and moved forward hastily.
The remaining people also rushed toward them from various directions and headed inside, including some extremely powerful cultivators. All of them had tried to open the path before Ye Futian did but failed. Even some of their high damage offenses could not make the mountain of the undead budge an inch. Yet, Ye Futian was able to crush it completely. His success was ascribed to the might of the imperial army and the fact that he infused the Buddhist Power into his weapon.
Various mysterious and powerful auras suffocated their senses as they went deeper toward the location. Ye Futian immediately pierced through the void with his gaze to observe the things hidden inside only to be appalled by a disgusting sight, which caused him to tremble involuntarily.
In House Karura’s case, the Demon clan was the one who declared war on them. Yet, things were different here. There was a high chance that a deadly war had broken out due to a myriad of Great Emperors’ invasions to this place to eradicate the Mahoraga Tribe.
These Great Emperors were not as powerful as the likes of the Demonic Lord, yet the number of their forces might be higher than that of the Demon clan.
The atmosphere there was terrifying and overwhelming. A frightening pressure above the heavens spanned across the entire domain, exuding a tremendous aura at every corner.
A golden halberd was lying in a conspicuous place. It was stuck onto the ground, turning its surroundings into golden color, making the earth seem like it was made of pure gold. The void, too, was painted in gold. A golden halo could be seen above the halberd, though the ominous dark cloud overshadowed the divine golden light. It was a peculiar sight to behold.
It was without a doubt an imperial arm as it gave out a menacing aura. Besides, there was a likelihood that a will was sealed inside.
In another location, a jet-black spear was emanating an unparalleled aura. There was a deadly airflow surrounding it, creating a threatening domain in the process. Simultaneously, a devastating ray of light was shone upward.
A figure could be seen sitting in a lotus position unscathed somewhere within earshot. Its body formed a pernicious Great Path domain all around. Nevertheless, it had long since died—an ancient relic from a forgotten time.
A stone’s throw away, a lotus could be seen growing out of the ground, which had a strong life force. However, its will was suppressed by the immense pressure of this domain.
Staring at the sight before his eyes, Ye Futian trembled with astonishment. Apart from him, the Ziwei Imperial Palace and West Imperial Palace cultivators were taken aback as their hearts palpitated like mad when they drank in the scenery before them.
This place was the ruins of the fallen emperors where a great war once burst out. Many Great Emperors died in battle, and their bodies were buried here forever.
The rest of the people who arrived after them were shell-shocked when they laid their eyes on the sight before them. They had shortness of breath as their heartbeat began to palpitate abnormally, causing them to slow their pace down.
This was madness!
To think such a great number of Great Emperors would be inhumed here! How terrifying was the war in the ancient days? How powerful was the strength of the Mahoraga Tribe that they could take out this many Great Emperors and leave their corpses here?
