Chapter 1974: One Punch

The roar of the Great Path’s violent resonance continued to erupt inside the matrix, and Renhuang from the Northern Land rushed into it, initiating the vicious battle.

The cultivators of various forces in the Dongxiao Continent no longer fought against one another but were united against the outside force. Otherwise, they would all suffer miserably.

After the cultivators from the Northern Land had initiated their attack, they discovered that the cultivators from Wangshen Watchtower, who were watching outside the matrix, no longer interfered. Its significance was not lost. This was essentially handing the battlefield over to them as a kind of assessment. The matrix itself was Wangshen Watchtower’s test to them.

To enter the Wangshen Watchtower to cultivate, one must pass the matrix.

Except that the assessment this time was a little different. Renhuang from the Northern Land had replaced the Renhuang of Wangshen Watchtower, entering the matrix’s battlefield to participate in the battle.

The cultivators from Qin He Palace did not continue their attack on Ye Futian and his party. They now turned their attention to the Renhuang, who were attacking violently. Many people were already on the move, and each of them had found opponents of a comparable realm and started a Law Battle within the bounds of the matrix.

For a moment, the space inside the matrix seemed about to fall apart, on the brink of a complete riot that could crush the sky and the earth.

The cultivators outside the Wangshen Watchtower were observing the dizzying battles that erupted at the same time. They wanted to watch each battle in detail and didn’t want to miss anything, but the actions were too fast. For this great battle that exploded at the same time in different battle locations. The only choice was to pick a battlefield to observe with a glance at the other battlefields from time to time. After all, divine consciousness was unable to invade inside the matrix, so they could only watch it with their naked eyes.

“These Renhuang from the Northern Land are quite wild,” someone remarked.

“Well, the cultivators from the ancient royal family of the Yan Kingdom have come here in person. That young man in the lead is surrounded by many cultivators, so he must be a royal member of the ancient royal family from The Yan Kingdom, leading a group of Renhuang to seek the Way. If so, they must have selected the strongest among their people. But we are different. Many of our powerful people have already entered Wangshen Watchtower before, or they are currently cultivating at Wangshen Watchtower. This time, only some of these powerful men had entered the matrix, not a carefully selected elite as the other party.” Someone who was more rational saw the key to the battle.

They had the opportunity to enter Wangshen Watchtower every year, and many powerful men had entered to cultivate one time or another. This year, there were just some excellent characters who attended; however, it was a different story with the other party. Led by the ancient royal family of the Yan Kingdom, they must be commanding a powerful group of Renhuang from all the top forces in Yanyun Continent to descend upon the city.

From this standpoint, they were at a disadvantage.

“Under such fierce attacks, I am afraid they will be entirely wiped out.” A cultivator frowned. They were from some of the major forces in Wangdu, and many elders from these forces did not enter the matrix, and they had a bad feeling when they saw the progression on the battlefield. The Renhuang from the Northern Land had great momentum and were extremely ferocious. In different realms, they had been able to cause considerable destruction.

This battle was somewhat similar to the Law Battle at the Heavenly Battle Palace that day. It was as if the battle on that day was the dress rehearsal of the great battle today.

The cultivators from the Alchemy Divine Palace gathered in one area but in a scattered formation. After all, their realm varied.

Qi Mu, the heir of the Alchemy Divine Palace, stood in the center. He glanced at those imposing Renhuang from the Northern Land, then turned around to look behind him, where Ye Futian and the others were positioned.

Because Ye Futian and his party were traveling the fastest so that Ye Futian was in the rearmost position when they turned around.

In another direction, there were the cultivators from the Heavenly Battle Palace, where Yang Qian, the leader of the Heavenly Battle Palace, was standing there. He had a terrifying aura about him, an extremely tyrannical Fighting Will surrounding him. He glanced at Ye Futian and the locations of other cultivators, such as Qi Mu of the Alchemy Divine Palace. He said, “You had differences in opinions regarding the affairs that occurred at the Heavenly Battle Palace, but that is all in the past. Now that the cultivators from the Northern Land have invaded Wangshen Watchtower and see Dongxiao Continent as nothing with no one to protect it, I’m asking everyone to put aside previous grudges temporarily and face this foe together.”

Qi Mu and other cultivators from Alchemy Divine Palace looked at Ye Futian and the others, only to hear him say, “I have no opinion.”

Clearly, he had also felt the might of the other party. Any further internal conflicts would inevitably cause more damages to either party, resulting in their disqualifications.

“What does Emperor Ye think?” Yang Qian asked Ye Futian.

“Not interested,” Ye Futian replied, calm and nonchalant. He glanced at the cultivators of the Northern Land, who had come from afar. No one could stop him from seeing the Millet Emperor, not even those cultivators who came from the Yanyun Continent of the North.

He did need to partner up with anyone, especially not those people who had meant to do him harm earlier.

When the cultivators around him heard his words, their eyes sharpened slightly. They had already made concessions and gave him a way out, but still, Ye Futian was so arrogant.

Yang Qian frowned, a little displeased, and said, “Emperor Ye, although there were some misunderstandings previously, the important thing now is the situation at hand.”

“The situation at hand?” Ye Futian looked at the other. “I remembered I told you before that I am not from Wangdu, nor am I a cultivator of Dongxiao Continent.”

“...” Yang Qian had nothing to say when he heard what Ye Futian had to say. Ye Futian was serious; he still saw himself as a separate entity from Dongxiao Continent, not with the other cultivators.

When Lin Qiu heard Ye Futian’s words, he couldn’t help but smiled and said, “Before, when there were no cultivators from the Northern Land, you had joined forces to fight against him, drawing a clear boundary. Now that the people from the Northern Land are here, you wanted to leverage his power? How quickly you change your tune.”

“You think you are so much better than everyone else,” some cultivators remarked next to Lin Qiu and Ye Futian. Even at a time like this, they were still acting like this had nothing to do with them.

Not far from the sky above, the terrifying aura of the Great Path permeated, and several Renhuang attacked in this direction. One of them was the cultivator from the Northern Land royal family. He glanced at Ye Futian and recalled that he had seen this man before, on that day when they entered the Heavenly Battle Palace. At the time, this man evaded battle and left soon after.

“No need to argue. We are all going out. It seems that we should go to the Millet Emperor for advice.” The royal cultivator sounded domineering, golden light shining upon his body. An overpowering might spread out as he stepped forward. Heaven and earth boomed, and the void trembled.

Besides him, there were many cultivators around who struck from different directions at the same time.

Buzz. Qi Mu of the Alchemy Divine Palace drifted backward without any intention to engage in battle, and the rest of the cultivators from the Alchemy Divine Palace followed his example. Other cultivators retreated when they saw their action and gave up their positions as well, an act that caught many by surprise.

After they backed away, Ye Futian was facing squarely at the other party. In other words, Ye Futian and his people were directly facing these cultivators from the Northern Land.

Sensing the aura coming from Ye Futian, the cultivator who belonged to the royal family from the Northern Land swept a glance at him. A touch of dominance flashed in those eyes as he took a step that made the void tremble. It was as if he could step through the void.

That day Ye Futian avoided the battle. Today, where would he go?

Qi Mu and the others were looking at Ye Futian as well. This time, he could not avoid it, and he must fight no matter what. If he didn’t want to join them, then he must face it alone.

A contemptuous sneer flashed through the eyes of that Northern Land Renhuang. His figure flickered and landed a little slanted above Ye Futian and the others. The divine glory of the Great Path exploded from his body, and a mighty pressure slammed down that created an oppressive, suffocating coercion of the Great Path in this vast space. A boundless and heavy might now enveloped Ye Futian.

In the next moment, a towering figure like a god of war appeared. Like a Divine Wheel of the Great Path, this war god-like figure overlooked the sky below as one of his feet stomped down from above. A horrific loud rumbling sound was heard that seemed to shatter heaven and earth. A golden stone pillar appeared, pulverizing the void, flattening one corner of the sky. Shockingly, it was the foot of the other, which, like golden lightning falling from the sky, stepped directly on Ye Futian.

Ye Futian raised his head to look at the foot that was stomping down at him. Above his body, a majestic aura of the Great Path permeated. When his eyes swept toward the sky, a most radiant aurora of the sword seemed to shot out from his eyes while his entire body filled with immense power. At this moment, it seemed that the world was resonating with his body, and an unparalleled momentum burst from him. Though he stood there casually, he gave an illusion of total invincibility.

In the void, that royal cultivator from the Northern Land felt an invisible threat as well. Looking at those eyes filled with extreme confidence, it as if his opponent did not pay any attention to his aggressive attack.

When the footprint of the war god landed, the radiant beam of the towering stone pillar attempted to penetrate Ye Futian’s body. But at this time, Ye Futian raised his arm and threw a punch at that footprint.

The sound of elephant trumpeting was heard between heaven and earth. It was the Divine Elephant that rocked the sky. With this one punch, the Great Path collapsed, and the space shattered. The crowd saw that the beam of light formed by the footprints of the Great Path readily split in two, and the dazzling light of the Great Path radiated in all directions. A light beam went up against all odds, and though the stone pillar continued to collapse, the light was still traveling upward until it finally descending on the foot of the god of war.

Boom...

An astonishing and violent explosion was heard. The foot of the war god exploded and shattered. Then, the phantom of the war god started showing cracks and seemed to be exploding as well. The terrible power from that punch was mighty. It blasted directly on the body of the royal cultivator in the void. He made a muffled groaning sound, and then his body was thrown back as he spat out a trace of blood in the void.

Ye Futian stood where he was. It was as if he hadn’t moved at all. He lowered his arms as every Renhuang’s attention now focused on him. He was frozen and filled with great shock.

Could this power be so terrifying?

Even the cultivators from Heavenly Battle Palace and Alchemy Divine Palace trembled violently in their hearts. However, Ye Futian surveyed everyone around him and said indifferently, “Does this level worthy to battle with me?”
