Not only were the cultivators from the Lost Clan ruthless towards their enemies, but they were also ruthless towards themselves.
They would risk their lives to protect their cultivation land. The cultivators from the top forces of the Divine Prefecture and other worlds doubted that they would ever endanger their own lives for the same cause. It was arduous for them to cultivate up until their current cultivation Planes. Those who stood at the peak of the cultivation world would treasure their lives even more than others.
At the very least, they would not simply do something that they knew for sure would cause them to perish. There were very few things that were worthy of them risking their lives to protect.
“Why didn’t you attack?”
After the storm dissipated, the eight powerful cultivators discovered that Ye Futian hadn’t attacked. He merely observed on the side while the rest of them attacked the Battle Matrix of the Rocks. Ye Futian’s actions caused the others to be dissatisfied.
The Battle Matrix of the Rocks had transformed and was now stronger than before. Ye Futian actually stood still while the rest attacked it. Did he have any intention to break through the matrix?
Quite a few cultivators glared at Ye Futian as they frowned. They had unhappy expressions on their faces. Clearly, they were irritated at Ye Futian’s actions.
Since Ye Futian wasn’t attacking now, wouldn’t he be gaining the opportunity to cultivate in the holy land of the Lost Clan without contributing anything if they managed to break through the Battle Matrix of the Rocks later?
If that was the case, what was the point of inviting him to be part of the team to break through the matrix?
Ye Futian explained, “The Battle Matrix of the Rocks has been upgraded. It will most likely not be simple to break through it. Even though all of us here are top cultivators, it is still difficult for us to break through the matrix. Judging from the current situation, the cultivators from the Lost Clan will surely perish if we succeed in breaking through it. Do we have to go so far for a spar?”
Ye Futian suggested, “Why don’t we stop here? Let’s forget about the agreement too. What do you think?”
After he said this, he turned towards the cultivators of the Lost Clan and said, “I’m sure the Lost Clan will also agree to my suggestion, right?”
He hoped that both parties would forgo this fight and end things here.
The nine cultivators of the Lost Clan had merged themselves into the Battle Matrix of the Rocks. They were undoubtedly cruel to themselves. However, their resolute attitude would similarly provoke the ego of the cultivators from the Divine Prefecture. The cultivators from the Divine Prefecture would most likely fight until the very end to break through the matrix. Ye Futian was worried that if both parties persisted in this battle, their animosity towards each other would go beyond the point of no return.
The situation would only worsen from then on. It was not something Ye Futian wanted to see.
“The eight major factions of the Ancient God Clan have come together for this mission. Is there a matrix that we can’t break through?” said someone coldly. The speaker cast a sideways glance at Ye Futian as his annoyance towards him flared up. Not only did Ye Futian refuse to attack, but he was also arrogant and intended to teach the rest of them how to proceed with the matter?
Did Ye Futian think that he was the only one with compassion?
Since the Lost Clan insisted on fighting, the Ancient God Clan would naturally grant their wish. Even when faced with the upgraded Battle Matrix of the Rocks, they would still forcefully break through it. The history of the Lost Clan was indeed admirable. The Ancient God Clan respected them for it, but they would go all out in battle when faced with such formidable opponents. The Ancient God Clan would not show them mercy.
Of course, the most important point was that the formidable power demonstrated by the Lost Clan piqued their curiosity. They were even more determined to have a look inside the cave.
When Ye Futian heard the other party’s response, he was certain that they would not give up on this battle. Moreover, the other party regarded the eight of them as the representatives of the eight major factions of the Ancient God Clan, essentially excluding him from the lineup. The speaker ignored Ye Futian’s existence and claimed that even with only the eight of them, they would still be able to break through the Battle Matrix of the Rocks.
The cultivators of the Lost Clan also heard this conversation. Outside the battlefield, the elder of the Lost Clan glanced at Ye Futian with a shocked expression. It seemed like this Ye Futian was siding with their Lost Clan. Moreover, based on what he had said just now, the elder guessed that Ye Futian had understood his intention. Actually, the Lost Clan had no desire to obtain the techniques cultivated by the cultivators from the other worlds.
“Since the rest of them are not willing to compromise, Renhuang Ye doesn’t need to advise them anymore,” said the elder of the Lost Clan.
Hua Junlai cast a glance at the elder. Then, he said, “Let us continue.”
After he said this, the eight powerful cultivators once again amassed a strong force. At this moment, on the battlefield, there seemed to be a real halo of the Great Emperor shining. The eight powerful cultivators were all, without exception, the successors of the Ancient God Clan. Their families had inheritances of the Great Emperors. They were also top figures in their families. Hence, all of them had inherited the powers of the Great Emperors.
Ye Futian was shocked when he sensed the power gathered by the eight of them. He glanced at the Battle Matrix of the Rocks. He dared not predict the outcome of this battle.
Would the power gathered by the eight powerful cultivators succeed in breaking through the upgraded Battle Matrix of the Rocks?
Rumble. Terrifying sound thundered as a frenzied storm rampaged. The eight powerful cultivators had once again attacked. Moreover, they had better control of their attack timing this time. All their attacks landed on the Battle Matrix of the Rocks simultaneously.
The Great Path was on the verge of collapsing the moment the attacks landed. The Battle Matrix of the Rocks shook violently as cracks appeared on it. The illusory figures of the ancient gods seemed as though they would disintegrate into pieces at any moment.
However, right now, the nine great cultivators of the Lost Clan closed their eyes and put their hands together. Blood trickled down their bodies. Their blood appeared golden in color as it merged and flowed with the divine light. Red veins flowed over the cracks on the Battle Matrix of the Rocks, fusing them together. The scene was appalling.
Ye Futian raised his head and looked at the matrix. Bloody marks appeared on the Battle Matrix of the Rocks. He felt as though he could see similar scars appearing on the bodies of the nine great cultivators of the Lost Clan. This Battle Matrix of the Rocks was forged with their own flesh.
“Continue.” Hua Junlai and the others showed no sign of ceasing. They continued attacking. As more and more ferocious attacks landed on the matrix, the bloody marks on it also increased. Soon, the red marks covered the entire sealed space. Aside from golden halos, the ancient gods were also covered with a layer of crimson shimmer.
“Do all of you still want to continue this battle?” asked the elder of the Lost Clan as he looked at the cultivators who were trapped in the Battle Matrix of the Rocks. No matter how sturdy the matrix was, it would still crumble in the end if the cultivators from the Divine Prefecture attacked it relentlessly. When that happened, the nine cultivators from the Lost Clan would surely die.
Even though the nine of them were ready to sacrifice their lives to hold up the Battle Matrix of the Rocks, it didn’t mean that the Lost Clan was willing to let them die just like that.
If the other party chose to retreat, they wouldn’t have to go to such an extreme.
“The matrix has yet to be broken. How can we stop?” replied Hua Junlai. Clearly, he intended to continue attacking until the matrix was broken.
When the elder of the Lost Clan heard his words, he sighed internally. He glanced in the direction of the Battle Matrix of the Rocks. Among the battle matrix, the nine cultivators still had their eyes closed. However, the divine light on their glabellas shone even more brilliantly. An unprecedented aura radiated from their figures.
Ye Futian frowned when he sensed the aura from the Battle Matrix of the Rocks. He could faintly sense that a dangerous aura was approaching and was emanating from within the battle matrix. He looked at the nine great cultivators of the Lost Clan and detected some changes happening to their figures.
He was not the only one who sensed it. The other eight powerful cultivators also sensed this change and frowned. The next moment, divine light filled the sky. The nine great cultivators of the Lost Clan seemed to have activated all the cultivation that they had accumulated over their entire lifetimes.
“This isn’t good,” said Ye Futian as he realized something!
