Gai Cang’s eyes suddenly changed. Watching Ye Futian walk towards him, there was horror in his eyes. The power was so strong that it swept and destroyed everything; even that cultivator from Sun God Mountain, who had survived the divine tribulation, had to avoid its edge, let alone him.
Buzz! The divine light was brilliant. Gai Cang—the sovereign of the Golden Divine Nation—retreated without putting up a fight, fleeing into the void instead, wanting to escape from this space. Needless to say, everyone was surprised. Even as a strong existence at this level, his choosing to escape was unexpected. The body of Shenjia the Great was indeed awfully fearsome.
This sight caused much fear in the hearts of those from the Original Realm who were enemies with Ye Futian. After Ye Futian destroyed Gai Cang, would it be their turn next?
There was a terrifying light in the eyes of Shenjia the Great Emperor, and rays of divine light shot out toward the sky. It was as if divine characters descended on the sky above Gai Cang, forming an area of absolute restriction.
Gai Cang’s body slammed onto it with great force but couldn’t break through. His face became even gloomier. When he turned his head, he saw that the body of Shenjia the Great Emperor had already come upon him, controlled by none other than Ye Futian. Without any hesitation, it lifted the long rod with both hands and forced it down. In an instant, a terrifying dark crack completely tore through the space.
Gai Cang let out a roar as the golden divine light skyrocketed, puffing out infinite divine glory. A god-like figure appeared slamming down the golden spear, trying to block the blow.
However, the horrible pitch-black crack descended with the rod’s shadow, smashed that god-like body, blasting it to pieces. There was a look of desperation in Gai Cang’s eyes. Although he had unleashed infinite golden brilliance, he still couldn’t stop his body from being torn apart and pulverized.
Bang! When this strike landed, everything disappeared. Everyone saw Gai Cang—the sovereign of the Golden Divine Nation, disappear into nothing—his soul and spirit were scattered, and he was killed by one strike of the rod. Furthermore, no one lent a helping hand during the process when he was being killed. They just watched a top cultivator perish thusly.
The Golden Divine Nation had lost its sovereignty, and its future decline would be inevitable.
Many people’s hearts trembled. Cultivators from the Shen Clan, Martial God Clan, Jian Ao of Tianshen Academy, and many other top figures developed a strong sense of dread. Gai Cang was their ally who had once fought side by side with them against Ye Futian and Heavenly Mandate Academy.
However, now that they had witnessed Gai Cang’s death, they must have felt a sense of sadness and loss.
And what if Ye Futian were to turn around and deal with them?
Now that Ye Futian had control over the body of Shenjia the Great Emperor, who could fight him? None of the top figures from the Original Realm were qualified to contend with him; they would probably end up like Gai Cang, who was directly wiped out by a strike of the rod.
In the far distance, some cultivators from the Golden Divine Nation had born witness to this shocking finale. They now felt a tremendous sense of sorrow.
Their sovereign had died just like that in the battle?
Ye Futian killed him in the presence of all the cultivators. He had been executed. Were all the principalities ganging up on Ye Futian?
And they were beaten by a single person, who forced all of them to retreat, and none dared to stand in front of him.
“Gai Cang.”
There was still another top cultivator in Golden Divine Nation—Gai Qiong. Having witnessed the death of his own brother, who perished before his eyes while he was completely powerless, he knew that even if he had intervened, the outcome would not only have been the same, but he would have lost his own life as well.
At this time, Shenjia the Great Emperor turned around and looked in the direction of Gai Qiong, as if it was attracted by his voice.
“Gai Qiong, you cultivated at the imperial palace as a subordinate of the Great Emperor. But you colluded with cultivators from the outside to instigate internal conflicts within the Divine Prefecture. Furthermore, you have put me in danger many times before, so your punishment today, hopefully, will be understood by the imperial palace.”
When his voice fell, a blinding divine light burst from the body of Shenjia the Great Emperor. His physical form traversed the void, fast to the limit, and the long rod in his hand danced and smashed down once again.
Gai Qiong’s face changed suddenly with shock. A god-like figure stood between heaven and earth. Both of his palms slammed forward, and two monstrous handprints tried to stop the strike launched by that horrifying long rod.
However, terrifying dark cracks were still appearing as the space was collapsing, and turbulent air currents raged between heaven and earth. This rod seemed to poke through the Original Realm, even affecting the power of the Great Path.
Bang! Another frighteningly loud noise was heard, and another top cultivator had perished. A cultivator from the imperial palace was killed by a single strike from Ye Futian. His soul was scattered and dispersed into nothingness.
It was simply too menacing. Ye Futian, who had control over the body of Shenjia the Great Emperor, could use the power contained within the body to display an explosive power of annihilation. Every attack had the ability to tear and shatter the space; even those top figures could not block any of his attacks.
In a blink of an eye, two top figures were killed off. They had been brothers, and both of them were pillars of the Golden Divine Nation.
With the fall of these two major figureheads, the Golden Divine Nation was finished. It could no longer claim to be a top principality and would probably face the fate of dissolution.
“Who can contend with Ye Futian at this moment?” These cultivators shuddered, especially those who were his sworn enemies. They wanted to surround Ye Futian and destroy him, only to find that Ye Futian was the greatest existence after leveraging the corpse of Shenjia the Great Emperor. No one could stop his powerful presence.
The battlefield had expanded. Cultivators from different forces had retreated into the far distance, avoiding coming any closer. They feared that a sudden attack from him would lead them to the same fate as Gai Qiong and Gai Cang.
All the cultivators were unnerved by one person.
To cultivators from the Shangqing Domain, this was like déjà vu from the battle outside Four Corner Village. Ye Futian also used the terrifying power in the sacred remains of Shenjia the Great to block and slaughter all who were in his way.
The cultivators from the Dark World and the Empty Divine Realm were waiting and watching. They had no intention to make a move. It was as they were in no hurry. After the cultivators of the Divine Prefecture had killed each other, they would then assess Ye Futian’s prowess while in control of Shenjia the Great Emperor’s sacred remains. If he could maintain his performance at this peak level, it would be difficult to take him on.
Here, no one could compete head-to-head with Ye Futian. Among the cultivators here, the strongest were those who had survived the first major divine tribulation. As proven by the cultivator at this level from Sun God Mountain, he was repelled by Ye Futian directly and did not dare to attempt another head-on challenge.
In the distance, above the tavern, Mei Ting stood there quietly. No matter what terrifying changes had taken place on the ground, he remained motionless and steady. But those eyes that looked at the body of Shenjia the Great had become somewhat different. His curiosity about Ye Futian was getting stronger. What kind of person was he that he could achieve things that no one else could?
Control the corpse of Shenjia the Great Emperor and obtain the inheritance of Ziwei the Great all so that Yu Sheng would be willing to follow him!
