Although Tie Tou and Duo Yu didn’t say anything, their attitude was clear, as they stood where they were.
“The Great Elder had agreed to the deal, and he will get the divine frame of the great emperor, so he wouldn’t do anything to master. Besides, doing anything to me wouldn’t benefit him. You guys leave right now,” Ye Futian said to them. “Uncle Tie, bring them away.
“Okay,” Blind Tie nodded, then a powerful force embraced the youngsters.
“Uncle Tie.”
“Dad,” the group called out. But Blind Tie ignored them and forcefully brought them away. Since Ye Futian had made the decision, he certainly had his own intentions and plans. After following Ye Futian for so many years, Blind Tie knew Ye Futian’s personality quite well; he wasn’t the type of person that would just hand over the body of Shenjia the Great so easily. With Ye Futian’s personality, unless he was really at the end of the road, there was no way he would do such a thing.
Right now, the situation seemed far from such a case, so clearly, Ye Futian had other plans.
“Be careful,” Hua Jieyu looked toward Ye Futian and said. After that, she left with Hua Qingqing, Chen Yi, and the others, passing through the void at an extreme speed.
They brought Ye Futian’s mortal frame as well, but he was still in a stand-off with Great Elder Motian using Shenjia the Great’s body. Of course, until now, Great Elder Motians had been hiding in the dark.
After a while, Great Elder Motian said, “With their speed, they’ll probably be far away by now. They had long to escape the circumference of my divine consciousness. Is this good enough?”
Ye Futian looked to the front and said, “Senior wouldn’t get anything out of killing me. I trust that a cultivator on your level wouldn’t go back on his word, right?”
“Of course; I’m not the treacherous type,” Great Elder Motian said sincerely. “Once I get the divine frame, I will have achieved my objective. Why would I want to take your life?”
“Alright,” Ye Futian nodded. His expression was equally solemn. “In that case, I’ll hand over the divine frame to senior.”
As the voice sounded, a spiritual soul left the body of the Shenjia the Great and started to float away into the distance.
Shenjia the Great’s divine frame levitated in the air, but there was no longer any vitality in it, though a powerful aura continued to seep out.
A projection of Great Elder Motian’s face appeared, followed by an immense devouring power that swept towards the divine frame. Instantly, the divine frame started to fly into the distance.
A pair of eyes appeared and looked toward the divine frame. In an instant, a muffled groan could be heard as the aura of the Great Path pulsed rigorously.
“So this is the divine frame of a Great Emperor, magnificent.” A voice could be heard from Shenjia the Great’s body. Far away, a faint silhouette was leaving; it was Ye Futian’s figure transformed from his spiritual soul.
As the voice sounded, a terrifying turbulent airflow surged toward Ye Futian’s spiritual soul, and a bone-chilling golden swirl appeared atop him as well.
Hum! As the terrifying spiritual soul attack started to engulf Ye Futian’s spiritual soul, Ye Futian’s spiritual soul started to struggle, using every last bit of its strength.
“Senior, you…” Ye Futian gasped. His shock was answered by a laugh. “My young friend, you have such great talent and potential. How could I be at ease if you didn’t die? Rest assured, I won’t be letting any of your friends off either.”
Right after Great Elder Motian said that, a terrifying swirl completely devoured Ye Futian’s projection.
After obliterating his spiritual soul, a figure walked out from the tempest of the Great Path and stood before Shenjia the Great’s divine frame. His gaze was immensely terrifying, and the air current of the Great Path surrounded his body. As he stared at the divine frame, it was as though he had entered into a different, fantasy-like world of his own, and his figure was encircled by countless runes.
“So this is the divine frame of a Great Emperor. Magnificent,” Great Elder Motian muttered. His eyes were closed, and he even appeared to be straining himself a little.
Just as his eyes closed, a sign of life suddenly appeared in the eyes of Shenjia the Great, and an ice-cold intent to kill erupted from those eyes.
Great Elder Motian felt that something was not right. The next moment, it was as though Shenjia the Great’s body turned into a divine sword, piercing through the void within an instant. It was too late for the Great Elder to dodge now. The sword which the divine frame had transformed into pierced right through his body and appeared behind him.
Intense emotions of fear appeared in Great Elder Motian’s eyes. It was the fear of death. His body trembled as it gradually started to disintegrate.
“How did you do it?” Great Elder Motian asked. These were his last words.
“You were consumed by greed; otherwise, you would have been able to notice,” Ye Futian answered. Great Elder Motian came to a sudden realization, so that was why he felt that something wasn’t quite right just now. It was no wonder.
That spiritual soul was only a strand of Ye Futian’s actual spiritual soul. Most of it was still inside the divine frame; it was just hidden. Because of his greed and how anxious he was to obtain the divine frame, he became careless and let down his guard.
He never expected that after a whole life of being cautious, in the end, he fell into the trap of such a young cultivator and had been killed by a single hit.
Bang! Great Elder Motian’s body exploded into fragments. He was killed by such a sudden attack that he couldn’t even unleash his full power. When a cultivator was on his level, there was only a thin line between life and death.
Ye Futian heaved a sigh of relief after killing Great Elder Motian. His figure flashed and shot off with great velocity in a direction. Soon, he met up with the others. His spiritual soul came out from the divine frame and returned to his mortal body.
“Master,” Little Ling and the others called out to Ye Futian, only to see him sit crossed-legged on the back of the golden-winged great peng bird. He was closing his eyes and entering cultivation. As his Worldly Ancient Tree of the Soul started to operate, Ye Futian’s aura fluctuated. It seemed that he had sustained some injuries.
“Don’t disturb him,” Blind Tie said. They had been attacked by Great Elder Motian just now as well, and this instance showed that the Great Elder also had unique attacks. He disappeared after a while. They knew that it was likely because the real Great Elder Motian had been killed by Ye Futian.
However, Ye Futian seemed to be injured.
Little Ling and the others realized what was happening and didn’t disturb Ye Futian. At the same time, the Golden-winged Great Peng Bird that Ye Futian was sitting on quivered. He also knew that Great Elder Motian was dead, and he was fully aware of how terrifyingly powerful his former master was. Not only was his cultivation level high, but he was also cunning and ruthless. Throughout the years, countless powerful cultivators had died at his hands.
Yet now, with almost absolute certainty and control over the situation, he was killed by a cultivator of the younger generation.
This new master of his was a hellishly talented prodigy. Everything that he did previously was to get Great Elder Motian to let down his guard so that he could kill him with a single strike. He had read the Great Elder like a book. And he was so young! How terrifying would he be in the future?
Ye Futian also paid quite a hefty price to kill Great Elder Motian. After all, he had separated a fraction of his spiritual soul and let the Great Elder devour and destroy it to make him let down his guard. Only then could he bait out his real self and kill Great Elder Motian with one strike.
That separated spiritual soul being destroyed actually did quite a bit of damage to Ye Futian. It would require a period of time to heal!
