The Legend of Futian

Chapter 2069: The One to Die

Ye Futian, alone, controlled one side of the battlefield, killing many Renhuang. But the vast area centered around the Leng family compound had expanded to hundreds of miles, with several battlegrounds in action.

In the battlefield area where Ye Futian was located, he focused on killing the Yan family’s cultivators. However, comparatively speaking, Wangshen Watchtower was still much weaker. This time, in addition to the Yan family that acted as the interceptor, the forces that came to chase after them also included the cultivators from the Domain Chief’s Manor, the Yan Kingdom, and Lingxiao Palace.

This kind of opposition was far stronger than what Wangshen Watchtower could match. They were not really on the same level, and many extraordinary characters were extremely powerful.

Take Domain Chief’s Manor, for example. In addition to Ning Hua, there was a Middle Renhuang of the Sixth Realm with incredible strength. He possessed a perfect Great Path. He was known as the Thousand Arms Sword Emperor, who looked around middle-age with excellent combat effectiveness. He had been cultivating for many years and was much older than Ning Hua. However, his realm was not anywhere close to that of Ning Hua’s. Even so, each of his realms had a solid foundation, which made his combat effective particularly terrifying. Even inside the Domain Chief’s Manor, he enjoyed unusually high regard and position.

Before entering the Domain Chief’s Manor, he had already made his name in the Donghua Heavens.

There was only one purpose for entering the Domain Chief’s Manor. After breaking into the realm of Upper Renhuang, one could still maintain the perfection of the Great Path, thus reaching the strongest realm to experience the three catastrophes of the gods.

At this time, several Renhuang from the Leng Family and Wangshen Watchtower had already perished by his hand. He cultivated in swordsmanship and the Great Path of Space until he finally formed one-of-a-kind swordsmanship. He had studied many books in Donghua Pavilion, mastered and comprehended all the great swordsmanship methods, and blended them all into his own abilities. He realized and created superb swordsmanship, the Thousand Arms Divine Sword, and because of this, he was known as the Thousand Arms Sword Emperor.

In the void, the Thousand Arms Sword Emperor was attacking a Renhuang. As he allowed his swordsmanship to bloom, there seemed to be a thousand arms swinging the swords at the same time above the sky. Thousands of sword shadows were actually real sword strikes.

He was attacking a Renhuang of the Seventh Realm from the Leng Family. The light of the swords was shining, and the sword of the hurricane created countless terrible space storms in the sky. The light of the swords tore through the space and slashed towards those thousands of sword shadows.

Many sword shadows shattered, but there was one that seemed endless. No matter how fast he swung the sword out, it was not faster than the many swords that were formed by a single thought. Follow current s on ɴo(v)elFɪre.net

The light of the sword quickly extinguished, and divine swords pierced through the void. In an instant, that Renhuang of the Seventh Realm let out a pitiful scream as he was penetrated by countless divine swords. He then turned into dust and smoke, his soul and spirit dispersed, and nothing was left of him.

“Ever since the Thousand Arms Sword Emperor entered the Domain Chief’s Manor to cultivate, he had kept a low profile. People seldom hear of him, but his strength was getting more terrifying. Each sword from the Thousand Arms Sword Emperor bloomed with swordsmanship that seemed to be from the full strength of an Upper Renhuang. His one sword was like tens of thousands of swords,” someone said thoughtfully.

In this battle, there were many powerful characters. This Thousand Arms Sword Emperor had not been noticed by many, but his strength was, in fact, mighty.

However, the Thousand Arms Sword Emperor continued moving forward as his eyes locked onto the other Renhuang. A coldness flashed through his eyes. Wangshen Watchtower had made an enemy of the Domain Chief’s Manor, so death was the only outcome. How could he allow anyone to live?

However, at this moment, a figure appeared in front of the Thousand Arms Sword Emperor, blocking his way.

The Thousand Arms Sword Emperor was stunned for a moment as he looked at the man that appeared in front of him. This man was not cultivating in Wangshen Watchtower but a well-known figure in the Donghua Heavens. He was the one who fought with Ye Futian at the Donghua banquet, Chen Yi.

Obviously, the Thousand Arms Sword Emperor did not expect him to be here. He knew of Chen Yi as a Renhuang cultivator of the Fifth Realm who possessed perfect Great Path and extraordinary strength. He was regarded as one of the Donghua Heavens’ top geniuses, someone who could match him.

“This matter doesn’t seem to have anything to do with you, does it?” the Thousand Arms Sword Emperor said to Chen Yi.

“No, it doesn’t.” Chen Yi nodded slightly.

“Then, why do you seek your own demise?” Thousand Arms Sword Emperor was quite surprised and asked with some curiosity. He couldn’t figure out why someone so outstanding would want to get involved in this deadly conflict. Although Chen Yi was very strong, so was he. Both of them were enchanting figures of Donghua Heavens, men with the perfect Great Paths. However, his realm was far greater than Chen Yi’s, and in his opinion, if Chen Yi wanted to stop him, Chen Yi would definitely be the one to die.

He couldn’t quite understand why a man like Chen Yi would get involved for the sake of those at Wangshen Watchtower. No one in their right mind would do this. Furthermore, he was someone with infinite potential. Whether he chose to enter Donghua Academy or the Domain Chief’s Manor, he would most definitely be valued. In the future, he would have the opportunity to pursue the supreme realm as a master lording over his own domain.

Not only did the Thousand Arms Sword Emperor himself unable to understand his motive, so were those many people watching in the distance. They now observed the battlefield over there with some curiosity.

Why did Chen Yi step out to help Wangshen Watchtower?

Because of that battle with Ye Futian at Donghua banquet?

Even if this was the case, it was not enough for him to forsake his own life.

“We haven’t fought yet. How do you know that I would be the one to die?” Chen Yi looked at the Thousand Arms Sword Emperor and asked him rhetorically.

The Thousand Arms Sword Emperor saw a glimmer of light in Chen Yi’s eyes. It was as if he had contained within him an extraordinary self-confidence. This was a man who was extremely confident in himself. Of course, he was justified in his belief in himself.

But this time, Chen Yi was facing him, and the Thousand Arms Sword Emperor couldn’t understand where his confidence was coming from.

With a smile, the Thousand Arms Sword Emperor asked again, “I’m just curious, why do you want to help them?”

He couldn’t seem to puzzle out this question.

“Because I don’t like how this is going.” Chen Yi responded with a smile, “Is that reason enough?”

The Thousand Arms Sword Emperor still couldn’t understand, but he didn’t plan to either. So, he smiled and swung his sword.

With a turn of his thought, the shadows of a thousand swords appeared. Chen Yi saw thousands of divine swords slashing toward him as if every sword was different. However, under the shadow of all of them, the space he was in was torn into countless segments. There was nowhere for him to escape. In fact, few were able to get out alive under the Thousand Arms Divine Sword.

Buzz!

Chen Yi released an extremely brilliant light, and the Divine Wheel of the Great Path bloomed. Rays of light and shadow bloomed outward, and the light was everywhere, in all directions; no corners could escape it. They collided with the thousand-fold sword shadow that came smashing in.

For a moment, the space where Chen Yi was was filled with terrifying destructive power.

The Thousand Arms Sword Emperor lowered his head to looked at the battlefield. The Path of Light was a powerful Great Path ability, but there was a gap between realms. He didn’t think the other could best him. His arms stretched out and formed a sword seal. At this moment, the Great Path resonated, and the vast world transformed into a sword domain that shrouded a boundless space, swallowing Chen Yi within.

In this space, just with the finger movements of the Thousand Arms Sword Emperor, a thousand arms seemed to appear between heaven and earth, swinging swords at the same time. Each sword was different but bloomed at the same moment, slashing toward Chen Yi from different directions.

The cultivators in the distance felt their hearts trembled. Under the Thousand Arms Divine Sword, its divine light traversed the space, cutting through the void, and could strangulate a space in just an instant. Everything inside would turn into dust and disappear forever.

The sword of the Thousand Arms Sword Emperor erupted with an astonishing howl, piercing through the eardrums of those who heard it. Faintly, the soundwaves that tore through the space could be detected; it was terrifying. The light of the sword aurora shattered under the sword shadow and countless divine swords converged toward where Chen Yi was. It was as if he was the place where the Thousand Arms Divine Swords meet—the absolute center.

When this sword strike fell, Chen Yi would surely turn into dust with nothing left.

Thousands of Divine Swords arrived instantly, but Chen Yi seemed not to see them, as he merely stood there quietly. In the next moment, a divine light burst from Chen Yi’s body, and as this light bloomed, all those looking at the battlefield were blinded temporarily. When they looked there again, Chen Yi’s temperament seemed to have morphed!
