Chapter 2587: Tempting Rewards

Haotian Clan in the Nantian Domain was the absolute dominant force in that region; so indomitable were they that even the Domain Chief’s Mansion could not hold them down.

For as long as anyone could remember, the Divine Prefecture was nicknamed “South Vast Heaven.”

As a principality that belonged to the Ancient God Clans, the Haotian Clan had countless years of history, passing down since the time of Haotian the Great, who was once an awesome ancient emperor of his time. As part of the Ancient God Clans, this meant that it had received the very powerful and indestructible will of the emperor even to this day, passing down from generation to generation.

The will of Haotian the Great was inside Haotian Clan.

And now, in Haotian City, where Haotian Clan was located in the Nantian Domain, several cultivators from the Divine Prefecture had gathered here.

The Haotian Clan had united with the other five Ancient God Clans and invited outstanding cultivators from all over the world to gather here to initiate the kill order; this had caused a great sensation in the Divine Prefecture. For a time, numerous cultivators from the Divine Prefecture rushed here to join in on the action. Some wanted to see just how tempting the kill order was as issued by the alliance of all six Ancient God Clans. They wanted to see for themselves whether it was worth it for them to be used by these forces to assassinate cultivators from the Ziwei Segmentum.

For the kill order to become a reality, there must be sufficient rewards to tempt them. After all, the strength of the Ziwei Segmentum was considerable, and Ye Futian’s potential was terrifying.

However, since the Haotian Clan had gathered the cultivators from the Divine Prefecture, they must have been quite sure about their chances to succeed.

All of them were curious just how much these six Ancient God Clans were willing to pay for this endeavor.

Inside Haotian City, every major tavern and inn was booked. In a tavern, many cultivators were discussing the kill order that would be officially issued the next day.

“I heard that all the Ancient God Clans have arrived. For the six Ancient God Clans to ally to issue a kill order, this is probably the first time something like this happened since Donghuang the Great unified the Divine Prefecture?” someone commented.

“Uh-huh.” Someone nodded. “In fact, the battle before was already the ultimate battle that ever took place in the Divine Prefecture’s countless years of history. Even though imperial arms were used, they failed to destroy Ziwei. In Ziwei Segmentum, Ye Futian was its absolute king. He can use the will of Ziwei the Great, and he did just that to destroy the Heaven Tempering Enumeration, the imperial arms from Tianyan City, three years ago.”

“No wonder the six Ancient God Clans have allied. This time the six Ancient God Clans have suffered hefty losses. Haotian Clan had obtained a relic of the Great Emperor in the land of the Original Realm, but it was taken away before it was fully excavated. The clan lord’s youngest son was killed in the process, so there was little wonder that Haotian Clan was so angry that they now wished to exterminate the Ziwei Segmentum completely, hence the issuance of the kill order.”

“It’s just that the six Ancient God Clans and the top principalities of the Divine Prefecture formed an alliance, and Wang Xiao even took the imperial arms there, but none of them were able to kill Ye Futian or to destroy the Ziwei Segmentum. Now just because they are about to issue a kill order, do they think that these cultivators in the Divine Prefecture will be able to get inside the Ziwei Segmentum? Isn’t it just as futile as before?”

“You don’t understand so much, do you? Let’s talk about the first point. The Original Realm is vast and boundless, and the Ziwei Segmentum is located inside the Original Realm. This is their home base, and they have geographical advantages. Now, Ye Futian wants to expand with the Ziwei Segmentum as the center and control the entire Original Realm. Ye Futian himself is an expert of Buddhist superpower, the Buddha’s Celerity, which allows him to come and go without a trace. If he were to become even stronger in the future, the six Ancient God Clans would not have any advantages in the land of the Original Realm, so they want to use all the cultivators in the Divine Prefecture to pressure Ziwei Segmentum.”

“The second point—do you think there are no top cultivators in the Divine Prefecture? What’s the year right now on the Divine Prefecture Calendar? It’s more than ten thousand years! How many cultivators had been born during the past ten thousand years, and how many cultivators had been hidden from the world? It is said that in these years of chaos in the Original Realm, there have been many powerful figures that came out of hiding to fight for the relics. I think the Ancient God Clans must understand this more than we do. As long as the temptation was great enough, these extraordinary cultivators will come out of the woodwork and take action.”

“Of course, the third point is also extremely crucial. Once the kill order is successfully implemented, the Ziwei Segmentum will truly become public enemy number one of the Divine Prefecture. It is a war between the Divine Prefecture and the Ziwei Segmentum, a battle for the Original Realm. But more forces might get involved in the end, and even the imperial palace might…”

“I didn’t think so deeply. If the kill order is implemented, with so many cultivators from the Divine Prefecture enticed to hunt and kill the cultivators from the Ziwei Segmentum, it will no doubt cause a battle between the two realms, pushing the Divine Prefecture and Ziwei Segmentum to an absolute standoff. Moreover, it will make people feel that Ziwei Segmentum represents the Original Realm. Therefore…”

The cultivators discussed and chatted enthusiastically. In this scenario, the situation that was waiting for Ziwei Segmentum would be a very bleak one. Even if it could not be breached for the moment, once the opposition was formed, the Ziwei Segmentum would be destroyed sooner or later, as it was all related to how things stood in general.

Unless the Divine Prefecture could tolerate the advent of another Great Emperor, using the Ziwei Segmentum as his base and center, ruling the Original Realm from there.

“Ye Futian is indeed a bit too brazen,” someone said. “He dared to attack the six Ancient God Clans and uprooted all the strongholds of the six Ancient God Clans in the Original Realm. It’s like he wanted to unify the Original Realm and expel the Divine Prefecture. It was too much.”

“If you have Ye Futian’s strength, you’ll be more brazen than him,” someone teased.

Everyone nodded and agreed this was quite true. Now Ye Futian was like the sun in the sky, with no one in the world who did not know of him. The Armorer Competition in Tianyan City was meant to propel Wang Xiao into fame as the first person under the Great Emperor. Still, it was also an effort stymied by Ye Futian.

No one knew who else could hold down someone like him.

“No one knows how the confrontation between the six Ancient God Clans and the Ziwei Segmentum would end this time,” someone said.

“We can only wait and see.”

These cultivators were all looking forward to it with heightened anticipations.

Tomorrow, they could see whether the kill order would be implemented.

Haotian City, this ancient city that had been through numerous years of challenges and strife, had a glorious past but had never been so lively since the unification of the Divine Prefecture.

In anticipation of countless people, Haotian City finally ushered in the day when the kill order was officially implemented.

On this day, golden sunlight sprinkled down from the sky above Haotian City. The weather, like the mood inside the city, was extremely warm and vibrant.

In the city, countless people whispered as if waiting for something incredible.

Finally, a sound rang throughout the entire city. It was the sound of a bell that was like a bell from the gods, resounding in the hearts of everyone who heard it. At this moment, on this boundless land, those countless cultivators in Haotian City quieted down as they looked up to the sky above.

Suddenly, there was an extremely brilliant golden divine light that appeared above the sky. With the convergence of that divine light, a boundless and massive figure appeared above the firmament, as if it was the figure of Haotian.

“It’s the clan lord of Haotian Clan!” Someone recognized the figure and that gigantic face, and it belonged to the most powerful man in Nantian Domain. The clan lord of Haotian Clan appeared directly above the sky, so that the whole city could see him.

Behind that Haotian-like figure were also many elusive figures standing in the sky like divine generals; they were the top figures from Haotian Clan.

Then, there was another divine light blooming, and in five other places, figures began to appear one after another, projected onto the firmament. In one of the places, golden light filled the sky, and it was the cultivators from the Vajra Realm.

In another direction, a majestic figure, incomparable, and terrifying aura, was the City Lord of Tianyan City with the cultivators from Tianyan City trailing behind him.

Many people looked at the one person next to the City Lord of Tianyan, Wang Xiao, who was praised by the City Lord of Tianyan himself as the “first man under the Great Emperor.”

In the other three directions, there were Infinite Mountains, the Ancient God Clan from the Boundless Domain.

The Ancient God Clan of Jiang from Taishang Domain.

Yuanshi Palace from Yuanshi domain.

All these major forces had arrived in person, with many cultivators gathered besides. At this moment, the six Ancient God Clans appeared in the sky above Haotian City at the same time, as if they were the spokesperson of the Vast Heaven.

In each of the major direction of Haotian City, on top of many buildings, cultivators from all sides were sitting there. They were top forces from the Divine Prefecture, and they were now inside Haotian City.

At this moment, above the sky, the clan lord of Haotian Clan spoke with gusto. “Today, we invite the cultivators from all over the Divine Prefecture to come to Haotian City, and I think you know why. The land of the Original Realm has long been ruled by Divine Prefecture as a vassal of the Divine Prefecture. Ye Futian, who, as a cultivator of the Divine Prefecture, abused the benevolence of the Great Emperor, who was merciful enough not to punish him for what he did. After he fortified himself, he wreaked havoc in the land of the Original Realm. Now, he slaughtered at will and on a massive scale. First, he led his hordes of cultivators to commit a massacre in the former Nine Realms, forcibly occupying it. Then, he proceeded to attack the major strongholds of the Divine Prefecture in the Original Realm, killing indiscriminately, and intending to expel everyone from the Original Realm and occupying the Original Realm by force.”

He spoke with a booming voice that resounded throughout the void. He depicted Ye Futian as some great demon lord of the world, who had done all the wicked deeds and slaughtered indiscriminately.

The clan lord of Haotian Clan paused for a moment and then continued to speak loudly, “Therefore, we are here today, in conjunction with other Ancient God Clans, to initiate a kill order to execute the cultivators from Ziwei Segmentum. In Ziwei Segmentum, there is the Starry Cultivation Court, a holy land for cultivation. I promise that anyone who had made a kill of the cultivators of Ziwei Segmentum, regardless of realms, may enter the Starry Cultivation Court to cultivate and bath in the imperial glory as soon as Ziwei is sacked.”

The heart of those cultivators from Haotian City skipped a beat; this was too easy. Anyone, as long as they had made a kill, no matter who or what realm the person was, would have the opportunity to experience the will of the Great Emperor in the future.

However, there were still some questions, of course. All these promises had to wait for the actual demise of the Ziwei Segmentum, and everyone knew it was easier said than done. More importantly, Ye Futian was the heir of Ziwei the Great. If Ziwei was sacked, no one knew whether the Great Emperor’s will would still remain.

“Furthermore, in the future, when the six Ancient God Clans regained our territories in the Original Realm, all of you can come at any time and cultivate within.”

“Those who executed Renhuang will be granted entry to all the relics unconditionally. Even the excavated relics of the Great Emperor would be made available to you in cultivation.”

“In addition to all of the offers I just mentioned, those who slaughtered cultivators in the Tribulation Plane may choose to enter any of the six Ancient God Clans to cultivate and experience the will of the Great Emperor for themselves. There will also be rewards of the Sub-divine arms, along with a top cultivation method of your choice as each of the six Ancient God Clans will make one set of their top-notch methods available for your choosing.”

“For anyone who killed Ye Futian, the six Ancient God Clan would be made available to you without any restrictions.”

The clan lord of Haotian Clan spoke loudly, his voice resounding through the void, causing countless cultivators to tremble in their hearts and souls. No matter who it was, these conditions were extremely tempting.

Even those who were existences in the Tribulation Plane were quite enticed.

There was a high probability that this kill order would be successfully implemented. Many cultivators would be willing to take the risk and participate in the hunt for the cultivators from the Ziwei Segmentum.

The Ziwei Segmentum would be in peril once more!
