After a round of sweeping attacks, the battle matrix of the Holy Land of Taichu was completely dismantled, and many powerful Renhuang fell one by one as they were being killed off. Now, the only ones who could pose a threat were the remaining three Tribulation Plane cultivators.
“Chen Yi, keep an eye down below. If anyone makes a move, kill them without mercy,” Ye Futian ordered Chen Yi, who was next to him. Chen Yi, who had inherited from the Bright Temple, was close to invincible in the realm of Renhuang; even Ning Hua was not his equal.
Although there were many top geniuses in the Renahung Realm at the Holy Land of Taichu, it was impossible for any one of them to touch Chen Yi.
Chen Yi’s origin may have been extraordinary. Blind Chen said that he possessed Illumining Body of the Great Path, and was born to inherit the Light, which he did. As the Child of Light, there were not many in the Divine Prefecture who could beat him.
In the Holy Land of Taichu, there was no one in the realm of Renhuang who could contend with him.
As for the remaining three cultivators in the Tribulation Plane, Ye Futian decided to go and help Lord Chen with Taichu Saint Emperor. This man’s life and death were of the utmost importance because he was the master of the Holy Land of Taichu. If he escaped, it would pose a significant threat to them down the road. As for the other two battles, four against two was more than enough to ensure their victories. Even those who had survived the Divine Tribulation of the Great Path still needed to hone their combat skills in actual battle. This would be a very good opportunity to do exactly that.
Furthermore, it was difficult for them to participate in the fight between those who had survived the second Divine Tribulation of the Great Path and might even endanger themselves.
Therefore, Ye Futian’s decision was the most appropriate.
Hua Jieyu proceeded to assist Murong Yu and walked to the cultivator who was an expert at the suppressive power of the cauldron. The Millet Emperor, carrying Wangshen Watchtower behind him, had gone to join forces with Emperor Xi to deal with the cultivator who brandished the true will of ice and the Glacier Divine Sword. Chen Yi and the rest were tasked with keeping an eye on those whose realms were below the Tribulation Plane.
Above, there were three great battles taking place in three separate areas.
Hua Jieyu entered Murong Yu’s battle. Their opponent was one of the major figures of the Holy Land of Taichu, Lord Yuding.
“Lord” was not an indication of the realm, but a title. Some had been conferred the title of Lord while still in the realm of Renhuang, and some had been made Lord after having survived the first Divine Tribulation of the Great Path. However, in the Western World, Lords were generally referred to as those who had survived the second Buddha’s Tribulation.
Lord Yuding was a cultivator who had survived the first Divine Tribulation of the Great Path. He was an expert in attack with extremely powerful and awesome combat effectiveness. He was also the master of Tianyu Cultivation Court.
At this time, the space where he was in seemed to have turned into a divine domain. Hundreds of thousands of divine cauldrons appeared in this space, infinite and without end. One glace upward revealed that the heavens seemed to be full of them.
Lord Yuding’s life spirit was a cauldron. To further strengthen his life spirit, he had refined a cauldron that was completely in sync with his life spirit and merged it with his life spirit. With this, his offensive power was greatly magnified. Even Murong Yu, who was holding a treasure, did not have the slightest advantage over him.
Lord Yuding was unfazed when he saw Hua Jieyu’s entrance into the battle, and his expression remained as calm as ever. As his hands stretched out, suddenly above the firmament, horrible golden divine lights rained down from those golden divine cauldrons. They turned into countless golden lightning, containing incomparable destructive power, and blasting towards Murong Yu and Hua Jieyu. One more cultivator of the Tribulation Plane made no difference to him; he believed he could still deal with both of them.
The group that came from Ziwei Segmentum may be strong, but they would pay a hefty price for initiating this invasion.
“Be careful.” Murong Yu cautioned Hua Jieyu via voice transmission, “This man’s offensive power is extremely domineering, and his destructive force is astounding. With this many cauldrons suspending from the sky, heaven has a suffocating Path of suppression, which is pressing down on this world.”
“Yes.” Hua Jieyu nodded. “I will restrain him, so you can focus on breaking down his defenses and counterattack.”
Hua Jieyu specialized in assisting in combat situations, and she was an expert in restraining opponents. Especially in melees, she alone could restrain multiple powerful cultivators all at once.
For her to face someone like Lord Yuding with Murong Yu, as two cultivators in the Tribulation Plane, they felt it was not a problem at all.
“No problem,” Murong Yu replied. Just when they were communicating through voice transmissions, the golden lightning that bloomed from the divine cauldrons was already upon them, trying to split open the space.
A starry light screen appeared around Murong Yu as if it was transformed into a starry body of the Great Path. With him as the center, starry divine light circulated as if creating a world of its own. Terrifying lightning continued to smash down, but it only succeeded in causing some fissures on the body without really breaking it.
Ziwei Segmentum was once the world sealed by Ziwei the Great, and most of the cultivators who stood at the peak were the descendants of Ziwei and had inherited similar abilities as Ziwei the Great. Murong Yu was no exception.
With a thought, centering on the starry divine body, a starry sky appeared in this vast space. As if everything was now moving in a starry world, countless divine cauldrons suspended in the sky, surrounded by stars. Both contending forces tried to overpower one another.
Golden lightning struck down on Hua Jieyu’s side. However, they suddenly stopped just when they came right above her head. The golden lightning contained incomparable destructive power but was blocked by an invisible barrier, making it difficult for them to land on their target. It was as if they were under the absolute control that Hua Jieyu had over this space.
Buzz! A horrible power of telekinesis radiated outward and spread to this corner of the world. Hua Jieyu’s black hair was dancing in the wind, and those deep black eyes of hers were shining with frightening divine light. Her majesty was imposing; it was as if she was possessed by the spirit of an empress. A wisp of imperial might could be felt as it diffused from her.
These three top cultivators were all existences who had survived the Divine Tribulation of the Great Path. Their worlds seemed to overlap at this juncture, to see who could suppress the other.
The world of the divine cauldron, the starry world, and the world of telekinesis.
Lord Yuding’s hands began to condense the seal. Suddenly in this world, eighteen thousand cauldrons moved simultaneously, spinning madly. As they were spinning, the golden lightning flooded this corner of the sky, threatening to destroy the entire world.
Boom… Accompanied by the endless golden lightning as they slammed down, those 18 thousand cauldrons also smacked toward Murong Yu and Hua Jieyu below. An extraordinary will of the Way was born between heaven and earth as if there was an invisible divine cauldron presided in this space that tried to wipe out all existence.
Stars burst and shattered. Those gigantic stars were directly smothered and extinguished, turning into dust and disappeared in smoke. The starry light screen around Murong Yu also cracked. This destructive force was way too terrifying; it was the true realization of a major attack.
Hua Jieyu’s long hair flew in the wind, and it seemed that she was also under tremendous pressure. The transcendent will of the Way that was contained in the divine cauldrons seemed to overpower even that invisible power of telekinesis currently moving between heaven and earth. This was a power of total extinction that could exterminate all existence.
“Do it,” Hua Jieyu transmitted her command to Murong Yu. And as soon as her voice fell, an unparalleled power appeared in this space world. Behind Hua Jieyu, a divine phantom manifested. It was a phantom of her, but it was extremely sacred and majestic, releasing the divine glory of the Great Emperor’s brilliance.
At the same time, the world of this Great Path suddenly fell into a state of absolute stasis. As if this destructive space suddenly stopped moving, and the Great Path stopped circulating. The golden lightning stopped its destruction, and all 18 thousand cauldrons stopped spinning.
It was just an instant, but it seemed like an eternity.
Only Murong Yu did not stop. This power seemed to have bypassed him and did not affect him in the least; its precision was meticulous.
Murong Yu also received Hua Jieyu’s voice transmission. His body moved and disappeared from where he was in a single step. With unmatched strength, he descended in front of Lord Yuding.
A horrific rumbling sound came out, and Murong Yu at this moment seemed to have been blessed by more than his power, but also the powers from all the stars in the heavens. They were all at his back, and the entire world of space was trembling because of him.
His fist blasted at Lord Yuding, who was right in front of him. When Lord Yuding was constrained, an extremely dazzling divine aurora shot out from his eyes, and a violent booming sound came out from his body. It broke all kinds of imprisonments as if his body had turned into a cauldron as well, with divine light flowing all around it. He stared at Murong Yu, who was coming at him fast. He knew it was already too late for him to avoid the blow.
Clang… The terrifying fist blasted on him as a metal-like sound was heard upon that horrible impact. The power of that one punch contained the power of all the stars in the heavens, and it was incredibly heavy. This blow caused all the surrounding cauldrons to rupture and shatter. Lord Yuding’s body also made a shattering sound as that cauldron split open. The fist aurora rushed into his body, pulverizing all of his internal organs, and his heart was pierced.
Puh! He spit up blood. The body of Lord Yuding was the body of the cauldron. As the divine cauldron broke apart, so did his physical body. His eyes dimmed. He was a powerful man of his generation in Taichu Domain, whose status was unparalleled. But today, he was killed here, like this. His heart was full of disbelief until the end.
Indeed, the Holy Land of preaching should have never been involved in the strife of the outside world. Once it did, it was no longer pure and neutral; therefore, fighting and conflict were unavoidable.
Now, because of a decision that no one cared about at the time, it was paid with the destruction of the entire Holy Land of Taichu today. What a lamentable ending this was.
At this point, countless divine swords came in for the final kill, penetrating his body as well as his spiritual soul. The one who attacked this time was Hua Jieyu. She was high above the sky. Her eyes swept indifferently towards Lord Yuding in front of her. There was neither mercy nor pity, and she made sure he would be no more trouble to them in the future.
She was no longer the Hua Jieyu she was once. After experiencing life and death in the Nine States, she knew the cruel reality of the cultivation world.
For Ye Futian’s sake, anyone who might threaten him should be killed off. She would never leave them alive to create problems for Ye Futian in the future. That would amount to nothing more than the benevolence of the ignorant.
Murong Yu glanced at Hua Jieyu, and there was a slight disturbance in his heart. At that moment, even he hesitated for a second, but not Hua Jieyu. She slew the other immediately, which confirmed what Murong Yu had always known. As the palace lord’s wife who had cultivated to the terrifying existence of the Tribulation Plane, there was no longer any bit of womanly tenderness or indecision within her. She had dealt the fatal blow that caused the final dispersion of Lord Yuding’s spirit and soul.
This was undoubtedly the right decision. It had already gotten to this stage. How could they possibly leave Lord Yuding alive? Especially when the other was a cultivator of the Tribulation Plane who would pose a considerable threat.
As Lord Yuding fell, the Great Path in this space dissipated. After everything disappeared, another battle was about to end. Emperor Xi and the Millet Emperor joined forces and were able to suppress their opponent fully. Victory was but a matter of time, and without doubt.
Hua Jieyu took a step forward and headed there. If the two of them could not end that opponent of theirs, she would, with no hesitation!
