Chapter 2707: Making an Example?
One after another, divine light emanated from the statues in the void. The will of the Great Emperor was strong. Each statue represented the existence of a god under the throne of the Heavenly Emperor.
Ye Futian looked over there, laughing to himself. Did they think he was so easy to bully?
“Deva, the head of the Eight Legions, and the Heavenly Emperor of the Old Heaven Court was not something that the Mahoraga Tribe could hope to compare with. Although I am in control of the will of the Mahoraga, I have gained nothing so far. This place is different. The statues of all the gods are perfect and intact, unlike the relics of the Mahoraga, which are all broken remains, and many of them have lost their heritage.”
Ye Futian continued, “Look at these statues of the gods; they are all preserved by the ancient gods with their own wills so that they remained intact. Not to mention, there is also the will of the master from the Old Heaven Court. What abilities have you inherited?”
Since Ji Wudao wanted to use him as a diversion, there was no reason for him to hold back out of sheer politeness.
In the land of the seven realms, the Heaven Realm was the smallest, but even the Heaven Realm considered itself far stronger than the Ziwei Segmentum. After all, they were an imperial-level force with a profound history, and their lineup was terrifying.
Now, all the cultivators from the Heaven Realm could fight with the wills from the statues of the gods. Compared to defeating all these cultivators from the Heaven Realm, it was far simpler to kill the cultivators from Ziwei Imperial Palace who were here and not in their respective relics. As long as Ye Futian was killed off, the land of the Mahoraga relics would have no master and could then be plundered at will.
Ji Wudao’s eyes swept to Ye Futian again. Before he could speak, a statue beneath Ji Wudao lit up with the divine glory of the Great Emperor, which instantly attracted everyone’s attention. All eyes were now looking towards that direction and saw that the statue was extremely majestic, giving everyone a sense of aggressive dominance. Ye Futian recognized the cultivator who was standing in front of the statue.
They had even fought one another once upon a time.
It was the Pagoda King—one of the Four Heavenly Kings—whose cultivation was most powerful.
The instant the divine light erupted, the light of the pagoda swept out from the statue and began merging with him.
“This god complements his abilities!” The cultivators stared at the statue as the will of the Great Emperor surrounded the body of the Pagoda King. Suddenly, there was a terrifying will of the gods that enveloped the boundless space.
Boom! As a glow illuminated outward, everyone sensed a powerful coercion. They looked up and saw a pagoda had appeared, accompanied by a terrifying storm of a hurricane, which gave rise to the pagoda. The pagoda was becoming larger as it expanded with golden divine light that shrouded the sky and the sun. It was suspended above everyone, pressing down upon them with all its might.
Likewise, Ye Futian looked up into the firmament and found that he and the cultivators from Ziwei Imperial Palace were underneath the pagoda.
This was a direct attack meant for him, wanting to make an example of him to deter cultivators from other imperial-level forces so that they would not dare to act prematurely.
The cultivators of Ziwei Imperial Palace knew the intention behind the action. Behind Ye Futian, Blind Tie levitated into the air. He held the imperial arms—the Sky Tremor—as an unparalleled figure appeared behind him like a god. Wisps of terrifyingly shocking aura swept out from the hammer itself.
Boom! Above the sky came a violent roar like thunder from heaven, shaking everyone’s spiritual soul. That gigantic pagoda suddenly moved down as the shadow of the pagoda cast down to suppress everything below and move in on Ye Futian and the others.
The terrifying pagoda seemed to swallow up Ye Futian and the others in just an instant. But Blind Tie faced it head-on as the Sky Tremor in his hand blasted towards the firmament. A destructive divine light penetrated the sky outright and pierced through the divine light that shot out from the pagoda.
Below, a devastating storm raged. However, the group of cultivators from Ziwei Segementum stood there, motionless, unaffected by the storm.
Clang! A loud boom came out, and the terrifying imperial arms slammed on the pagoda, blasting the pagoda high into the sky. But it was not broken. A horrific aura poured ceaselessly into the pagoda, fed by those godly statues positioned on the sky stairwell.
Buzz! The pagoda was spinning faster and faster, and all 99 levels of the pagoda seemed to have doubled. They slammed down again for the kill. The pagoda turned into a solid entity this time and flew down to imprison Ye Futian and the others.
The giant pagoda descended exceptionally rapidly, and the sky above Ye Futian and the others darkened. Blind Tie surged into the sky, waving the Sky Tremor in his hand. His body merged with the phantom behind him, creating an unbelievable vision. The Sky Tremor expanded as if it was an imperial arm held by a god from heaven, domineering and threatening.
Without any additional frills, the Sky Tremor slammed at the pagoda above in the sky as golden radiance burst, blocking the downward movement of the pagoda. When the hammer blasted on the pagoda once again, the earth seemed to be split open, and an unparalleled divine light erupted above the firmament. The vast expanse of the small world was violently shaken.
However, the cultivators who stood around remained as solidly rooted into the earth as ever. Those who came were top figures so that they could handle the storm created by the battle calmly. Above the sky stairwell, rays of divine light permeated.
“The Pagoda King was unable to run past Blind Tie, even with the will of the gods.” Everyone was surprised when they saw the outcome of the clash. Ye Futian had given the imperial arms he obtained from Tianyan City to Blind Tie.
So now, what kind of imperial arms would Ye Futian use for himself?
Naturally, everyone believed that Ye Futian must have obtained an even better imperial arms among the relics of the Mahoraga, and that was the reason he gave the Sky Tremor to Blind Tie.
The cultivators from the Heaven Realm frowned as they stood upon the sky stairwell. They understood that the original intention for the Pagoda King was to intimidate the cultivators from all sides. However, he was blocked by a cultivator from Ziwei Imperial Palace, and his attack couldn’t even get close to Ye Futian.
Buzz! At this moment, an even more terrifying aura came from the top of the sky stairwell. In an instant, the sky above was split open, as a storm of destruction was born. Even the pagoda was being covered by it.
“Black Almighty is making his move.” Everyone stared at the area above the sky stairwell. How powerful was the Black Almighty? Previously, he had defeated Fang Ru and battled Di Hao. His combat effectiveness was considerably more horrific.
At this moment, the statue behind him also lit up. He, who had cultivated to this realm, seemed to be merged with the will inside the statue. His figure was gone in a flash, and he then reappeared high in the sky. He was below the dark brewing storm, looking down at the cultivators.
The Almighty Divine Swordsmanship was terrifying already in itself, and it contained the power to destroy everything. Not to mention that there were also the wills of the gods from the Old Heaven Court. Every divine light ray from the Almighty Divine Swordsmanship seemed capable of immolating a top existence.
The cultivators from every major force looked solemn, and they dared not take the situation lightly. If the Black Almighty were to deal them a fatal blow suddenly, it would pose a great danger to them, so they had to be vigilant at all times.
Behind Ye Futian, someone stepped into the void and came above those from Ziwei Imperial Palace. Above his body, an unparalleled sword will swayed upwards; it was the Taishang Swordsmanship.
The person who walked out was none other than the Supreme Swordlord himself.
A divine sword was suspended in front of the Supreme Swordlord as the sword mudra formed by his hands sailed over the divine sword. Suddenly, the terrifying Supreme Sword Will went up against the force, just like the will of the most supreme swordsmanship.
Before this, he was just a spectator. When he watched the battle between Black Almighty, Fang Ru, and Di Hao, he wondered what would happen if he were to make a move?
If his Taishang Swordsmanship fought the Almighty Divine Swordsmanship, what would be the outcome?
Now, this seemed to be a chance for him to find out.
However, the Black Almighty was resorting to the power of the gods, and he was leveraging the divine power of the imperial arms. However, as far as swordsmanship was concerned, it was still the Almighty Divine Swordsmanship versus the Taishang Swordsmanship.
Both of them were compelling figures, near-deity existences, and they were now fighting with the power of the Great Emperors. It was inconceivable just how frightening this battle would be. If they hadn’t controlled the ripples from this battle, the wills of these two terrifying swordsmanship were enough to topple this corner of the world.
The Almighty Divine Sword and the Supreme Divine Sword collided in the void, and an unparalleled aura of destruction pervaded. It was as if everything was about to be shattered.
Nonetheless, the Almighty Divine Sword was unable to break through the defense and unable to invade inside the place where the cultivators of the Ziwei Imperial Palace were located.
The two significant cultivators had taken action, but the issue was not solved. Their efforts to make an example out of the Ziwei Imperial Palace seemed to have backfired this time..
