The Legend of Futian

Chapter 2384: Relentless

The demonic blade traversed the sky down, moving to the bottom. It split open the space and aimed at Wang Mian.

Wang Mian had already merged into the divine matrix at this time as he surveyed the grounds below. Suddenly, the divine light erupted from where he was, and those annihilating divine light fell to strike Yu Sheng where he was.

In an instant, Yu Sheng seemed to be submerged completely in that destructive light. Only the demonic blade remained, slashing high into the sky, colliding with the light.

A terrifying destructive storm swept into the surrounding space now. The demon god that was transformed by Yu Sheng let out a low growl as his blade continued its upward motion. It split those rays of divine light. However, that devastating demonic blade began to crack, then began to break off inch by inch.

Though the blade was broken, the Blade Will was still intact.

That figure of the demon god, perched high above the firmament, was extremely domineering. The sword slashed all the way high above the sky, approaching the divine matrix.

At this moment, Pei Sheng and Jiang Qingfeng also looked down where Yu Sheng was. They were already under the spell of the Divine Requiem, and their will had been greatly destabilized. Coupled with their efforts to urge all their power to pour into the divine matrix, they had no more strength to spare to carry out an additional attack on Yu Sheng.

But even so, there was still a powerful will that erupted from both of them in a last-ditch effort to stop Yu Sheng from continuing his way up.

But at this moment, a figure appeared high above the sky next to Yu Sheng; it was as if it had emerged out of thin air. This figure was extraordinarily striking with unparalleled beauty; it was Hua Jieyu.

At this moment, Hua Jieyu’s beauty was ravishing. Her black hair flew in the wind. Her gaze swept towards Pei Sheng and Jiang Qingfeng as a tremendous telekinetic power rushed into their minds. Simultaneously, a frightening force covered this entire area until the space seemed to be in a state of tranquility.

“What’s happening?” Many looked up, then down at the figure who was playing the divine guqin. Yonder, Hua Jieyu was still there. It seemed that an avatar of her had appeared above the sky.

Somehow, that avatar seemed more like Hua Jieyu rather than just a phantom of her.

“Her soul is out of her body!” some cultivator whispered. Hua Jieyu had managed to appear above the sky, leveraging the out-of-body technique in order to lend Yu Sheng a hand.

Boom... Yu Sheng’s blade continued to move upward. The divine light that blasted down was shattered, but Yu Sheng’s blade became shorter as well. Finally, it was completely broken. The Blade Will was entirely exhausted, wiped out bit by bit.

Above the divine matrix, Wang Mian’s face was icy cold, and murderous intent flashed through his eyes. However, at this precise moment, a light appeared in the area below Yu Sheng. It was a boundless and brilliant divine light. A figure passed by him and appeared right beneath the divine matrix.

The figure that appeared was the divine body of Shenjia the Great Emperor.

The moment he appeared, Hua Jieyu disappeared as her spiritual soul returned to her body. In an instant, she returned below to continue playing the divine guqin. It was as if none of this had ever happened.

The strike from Yu Sheng was not a real attempt to break through the divine matrix—he was merely clearing the way for Ye Futian. He had cleft a path that brought them closer to the heart of the divine matrix so that Ye Futian could reach there without expending much effort. He could then reserve all his strength on the divine matrix itself.

Buzz... After the blade was broken, divine light sprinkled upon Yu Sheng but was blocked by the Demon Mail. Nevertheless, he was slammed into the ground below. The body of Shenjia the Great Emperor now replaced him in his position. An unparalleled divine aurora burst out from his body. ɴᴇᴡ ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀʀᴇ ᴘᴜʙʟɪsʜᴇᴅ ᴏɴ (f)ir(e).nᴇt

The flesh-and-blood body of Shenjia the Great Emperor then turned into a sword and continued forward. This body itself was an imperial weapon—the actual physical body of a Great Emperor.

Surrounded by countless runes, the whole world now turned into a sword, striking at the heart of the divine matrix.

Yu Sheng and Hua Jieyu had cleared the way for him. It broke through a few rays of light. The divine body rushed into the divine matrix, colliding with it. It was exactly at the position where Wang Mian was.

Underneath, all the cultivators from the Divine Prefecture stared at the scene playing out in the void. Their hearts throbbed. They were beyond shocked.

Did he mean to rush into the divine matrix with the body of Shenjia the Great Emperor?

What a terrible clash it was! At this moment, a muffled sound came from the sky. Radiating from the site of the collision, a most devastating storm rampaged between heaven and earth. Even Jiang Qingfeng and Pei Sheng were knocked backward. At the core of the collision, an astonishing force had exploded.

At this moment, everyone inside the Heavenly Mandate City saw a divine light sweep toward the surrounding heaven and earth. The entire sky above the Heavenly Mandate City lit up.

A terrible rumbling sound was heard, and that divine matrix above the firmament was collapsing, shattering and breaking apart continuously. Soon, the divine matrix that shrouded that corner of the sky disintegrated. Light penetrated through heaven and earth in that central area, and another ray of light blasted higher into the sky.

Boom... Another loud boom, and the divine matrix crumbled. The air of destruction raged as countless people focused on the sky above. The body of the Shenjia the Great Emperor stood there, and it was precisely this divine body that had forced its way into the divine matrix. Wang Mian, at this moment, appeared above the firmament. He was still holding the golden divine spear but let out a muffled groan as blood seeped from the corners of his mouth. His face was as white as a sheet.

His body was trembling ever so slightly. Clearly, he was grievously injured.

It’s broken! everyone secretly exclaimed. Incredible shock took hold of their hearts. The Heaven Tempering Divine Method had been broken. The body of Shenjia the Great Emperor was like an immortal entity and had directly penetrated the divine matrix and broke it down by brute force.

In this battle, many of the top figures from the Ancient God Clan had joined hands, but they failed to take down Ye Futian’s team of three and had been defeated soundly.

Presently, even though Pei Sheng and Jiang Qingfeng were still operational with the ability to continue fighting, it was almost impossible for them to defeat Ye Futian’s team of three.

It was obvious from the development so far that none of them had the ability to defeat Ye Futian on their own. Neither of them could overpower Ye Futian, who had resorted to the Divine Body of Shenjia the Great Emperor to augment his combat effectiveness. They weren’t even in the position to defeat Yu Sheng or Hua Jieyu.

Above the void, the body of Shenjia the Great Emperor was still there, looking at Wang Mian, who was high in the sky. The two of them stood there like two statues. Neither moved. In fact, Ye Futian himself was also under great pressure. After all, this was the body of a deity—not of his own.

Wang Mian stared at the divine body below. The flesh of Shenjia the Great Emperor deserved its reputation, after all. It had successfully penetrated the divine matrix and dismantled it.

Beneath him, a terrifying aura headed high into the sky, which was frowned upon by many. The cultivators from the Heavenly Mandate Academy, as well as Ye Futian and his companion above the sky, had a slightly disturbed look in their eyes. Obviously, they felt those tyrannical auras that came from below.

Although the confrontation in the void had ended, Ye Futian and his companions successfully blocked the united efforts from several top figures in the Divine Prefecture. However, their opponents seemed to have no intention of stopping. This battle was not over yet!
