Chapter 2637: Unparalleled Method
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Above the firmament, a terrible storm of death appeared. The crowd saw a figure floating in midair; it was The Reaper from the Dark Court.
Her body floated above as her cloak moved with the wind. The whole world turned into the color of darkness as the clouds of death hovered over the boundless space. The area covered by the clouds was vast, and the entire battlefield seemed to be entirely shrouded.
Above the firmament, the face of death seemed to have appeared, and the sight was unspeakably terrifying. For a time, the whole world turned into darkness, and all the auras that flowed within were eroded by the will of death. Even the air they breathed seemed to be polluted by the breath of death.
Many of them couldn’t help but stare at the cloaked figure in the void. She seemed to represent the god of death, who was the spokesperson of Death in this world.
Everything was about to wither and decay. Even the defensive matrix below was being eroded by the force of death and gradually became blackened.
Wang Xiao raised his head to look yonder. The Sky Tremoring in his hand was filled with terrifying imperial might. In any of the previous battles, if the Reaper were to come forward, his imperial arms would be the mightiest deterrent.
“Spread out,” said Wang Xiao. Immediately, many cultivators moved away from Ye Qingyao. Everyone moved to different positions, covering an extensive area, and they were not alone. Even the cultivators from the opposing alliance were also dispersed, not standing with Ye Qingyao.
Instead, they had each chosen principality from the Divine Prefecture to stick to. This way, the imperial arms could not attack all of them at will.
However, next to Ye Qingyao, there were two other great cultivators, both from the Dark Court and the Empty Divine Realm, who were responsible for ensuring Ye Qingyao’s safety.
The auras from both of them were super terrifying, and they were no youngsters. Even with a brief glance, one could tell they were existences from an older generation, who had lived for many years. The cultivator from Empty Divine Realm suddenly moved his thought, and wisps of fluctuation rippled through the space. In the surrounding area, many spatial doors now manifested. At the same time, somewhere very far away, corresponding spatial doors also appeared. This utilization of space was extremely awesome.
The entire space domain was filled with a suffocating coercion of the Great Path. Everyone present was a top cultivator. Before, they had not had such a large-scale confrontation. They didn’t expect the appearance of Ye Futian would trigger such a major collision resulting in a total showdown.
Buzz! Ye Futian disappeared from where he was, completely without a trace. Shenyan Buddha Lord looked in the sky above with terrifying eyes. Ye Futian changed his position constantly, but under the Divine Eyes, there seemed nowhere for Ye Futian to hide, for he was always there in Shenyan’s sight.
However, Shenyan Buddha Lord could see that Ye Futian was constantly changing up his positions. Even if the Divine Eyes could lock onto his whereabouts, it was impossible to keep up with him physically. Each of the Six Buddhist Superpowers had its own advantage, and the Divine Eyes could not keep up with Buddha’s Celerity.
Of all the superpowers, the Buddha’s Celerity was the most powerful.
“He is constantly moving,” said Shenyan Buddha Lord. The City Lord of Tianyan stood behind Wang Xiao, and he had been watching Ye Futian as well, as a powerful aura effused from him. Clearly, he knew that today’s Ye Futian could not be underestimated; his combat effectiveness was already at the top level and must be treated with the greatest caution.
In the other position, another terrifying aura manifested. Standing in the sky above Wang Xiao, a demonic cultivator with a horrific aura stood there. He was middle-aged in appearance, and his eyes were pitch-black. He stood there like an unparalleled demon king.
Seeing his appearance, the City Lord of Tianyan didn’t look pleased.
This man was a demonic figure who had lived for thousands of years. Long before today, he had already been a powerful figure in the Devil World whose hands were stained with blood.
He was the head of the three great Demon Sages of the Devil World, the highest commander under the Devil Emperor, who ruled over the great army of the Devil World. He was a peer of the Devil Emperor, who was eventually recruited by the Devil Emperor himself.
This premier Demon Sage had a very simple name, Yan Guiyi.
In Yan Guiyi’s hand, there was a blood-red halberd. This divine halberd was quite a bit longer than the ordinary halberds. A bloody divine light lingered as a bloody divine aurora puffed from it. It was an extremely terrifying sight. It was as if a bloody divine tribulation was upon them.
These divine arms were semi-imperial, which was also made by a great emperor with extremely frightening power. The only difference was that it did not contain the will of the great emperor, so it was not considered a true imperial arm. It was a divine arm left behind on the ancient battlefield in the Devil World.
Previously on the battlefield, Yan Guiyi used these imperial arms to confront Wang Xiao head-on, and he proved that he could go toe-to-toe with Wang Xiao.
A horrific aura permeated from it, even the City Lord of Tianyan was taken aback by this force, and he knew that even he was no match to Yan Guiyi. He stood there like a god from heaven who could not be denied.
Wang Xiao looked solemn as well. This time, the pressure he was facing was greater than ever. These people were actually cooperating with Ye Futian in a joint effort to hunt him down.
At this time, a figure appeared in the sky in front of Wang Xiao; Ye Futian had seen this man before. It was Fang Ru from the Divine Prefecture, a near-deity existence. However, even him, when facing the premier Demon Sage of the Devil World with imperial arms in hand, his expression was quite grave.
He had experienced first-hand the terrifying combat power of this premier Demon Sage, Yan Guiyi. With the imperial arms in hand, even he was hard-pressed to contend with him head-on.
“I’ll hold him up so you can deal with The Reaper.” Fang Ru released his Great Path domain and shrouded Yan Guiyi within. Both were near-deity existences, and both stood at the very top on this battlefield.
“Very well,” Wang Xiao nodded. A supremely terrifying aura permeated from the imperial arms in his hand. Undulations upon undulations of shockwaves went toward Ye Qingyao, only to see rounds and rounds of spatial light screens appearing in front of Ye Qingyao that turned into a force of defense.
Bang! Wang Xiao stepped into the void and continued forward. Then, his Sky Tremoring blasted forward as if the god in heaven had descended into the world and brought down the imperial arms to attack. An apocalyptic force swept out as billions of shockwaves rolled forward, flattening all existence.
Before, when Wang Xiao took the imperial arms to slaughter, one strike from it was enough to affect an entire continent; its power was immeasurable.
But here was the main battlefield of the Divine Prefecture, and Wang Xiao did not dare to attack so boldly, so he restrained himself a bit. However, those billions of shockwaves were terrifying to the extreme and continue to head higher into the sky. Everything before him was about to be wiped out and turned into dust.
Others were not within the range of these shockwaves, as they were at the rear of the attack. Even so, they could still feel that horrific power.
In front of Ye Qingyao, those spatial light screens were pulverized and destroyed. But, almost at the same time, Ye Qingyao and the others stepped into a spatial door and vanished. Just as they disappeared, the spatial door they had just entered was shattered. Everything was gone as the Great Path collapsed, and all the paths no longer existed.
There was a reason why Wang Xiao was praised by the City Lord of Tianyan as The Unraveled under the great emperors, and it was by virtue of his excellent command over genuine imperial arms.
But at this moment, Wang Xiao suddenly detected a dangerous aura. He turned around and raised his hand to blast out the Sky Tremoring. However, a figure was gone in a flash, just as the Sky Tremoring swung out.
Bang! With a loud bang, the domain immediately around the City Lord of Tianyan was destroyed, and he was knocked into flying out by the Sky Tremoring. He left out a muffled groan.
This blow did not hit Ye Futian as intended but landed on the City Lord of Tianyan instead.
“Be careful, City Lord!” A voice came out just as the City Lord of Tianyan raised his hand to the sky and blasted into the sky above with unparalleled power and dominance. As the helmsman of the Ancient God Clan, the City Lord of Tianyan possessed incredible power.
Bang! A loud noise came out, and the City Lord of Tianyan’s palm print shattered and collapsed. A frightening blow blasted down and slammed his body downward, but the murderous intent had not yet subsided. However, at this time, someone else appeared in front of the City Lord of Tianyan. The gigantic palm print blasted into the sky, and it was a giant palm print of Buddhism.
However, when the giant palm print blasted into an empty space, that figure had already vanished. And Wang Xiao, once again, sensed the danger descending. The Sky Tremoring blasted forward, and this time, Wang Xiao did not dare to use so much force.
Buzz! The Sky Tremoring failed again without hitting anyone.
“Arrange the boundary!” the City Lord of Tianyan shouted, and the expression on his face was extremely terrible. Ye Futian was using his superpower to avoid a total confrontation. He was invisible and untraceable. And as he had no chance to escape, Ye Futian was taking any opportunity to attack, leaving them in a mess of confusion and in a passive state.
“Shenyan, this is a personal matter between me and them. If you intervene, then you, too, will be my enemy.” Ye Futian spoke loud and clear. “You involved yourself in private vendetta in this battle. You do not represent the Buddhist sect, you only represent yourself.”
Ye Futian, naturally, would not want to make enemies with the Buddhist sect. After all, Buddhism had done him the favor of passing down valuable methods to him.
“Insolent creature.” Shenyan Buddha Lord raised his head and looked into the void. His divine eyes still tried to lock onto Ye Futian’s position, but Ye Futian didn’t stay in one position for long. He was constantly moving and appearing in different locations precisely to avoid his detection.
Would this youngster, who once cultivated Buddhism, become a scourge to them?
Once upon a time, it was he who killed Saint Zhenchan.
“The same goes for the rest of you. Whoever blocks my way to kill anyone from Tianyan City and involves themselves in personal matters between me and Tianyan City will become my enemy,” Ye Futian continued. The City Lord and Tianyan and Wang Xiao had repeatedly tried to kill him.. Now, he must settle with Tianyan City once and for all.
