Chapter 2256: Coveting Eyes

A massive hole opened in this realm. Many top aces were destroyed and slaughtered amidst the struggle. The sight of it left many shuddering in fear.

Did the collapse of a Heavenly Path during ancient times look like this as well?

During the battle between gods, the Heavenly Path crumbled.

The cultivators in the same faction with those slaughtered aces trembled intensely on the inside as they strugglingly watched the scene unfold. An indescribable sense of fear emerged within their hearts.

Especially the powerhouses of the Holy Land of Taichu in the distance. Their swordmaster was slaughtered at the scene. Ye Futian, he was having his revenge. Back then, when they were battling against the Heavenly Mandate Academy, the Swordmaster of Taichu once severely wounded Lord Taixuan.

Hence, with this attack with a sword, he slaughtered their swordmaster.

They did not expect that as the hegemonic faction whose powers were at the pinnacle of the Taichu Domain, they would encounter a calamity of destruction at this place.

The fissure on the ground gradually healed after the massacre. In both directions, two people walked out strugglingly. However, they were too severely wounded. They were bleeding. If they had not had special means, they would have perished as well.

Hooh... Some exhaled deeply. They were alive. The top ace of the Mo clan and the super-powerful existence from the Sun God Mountain survived the blow. However, they were in an unsightly state. Deep down within, they were still shivering intensely.

They were actually forced into such a situation where their lives hung by a thread.

Besides, the attack was not targeting them but the Swordmaster of Taichu. If not, the chances of them surviving were extremely slim.

Even Mei Ting, who had been sitting there as steady as Mount Tai, sipping on wine, stood up and looked at Ye Futian at this moment. How did he unleash such an attack?

That was a sacred remain, the flesh of Shenjia the Great Emperor himself. At the level Ye Futian was at, it was impossible that he could sustain the burden of it. He heard that many top aces could not even look at it because they would sustain severe injuries should they do so, let alone control the sacred remain to fight and unleash power of such caliber.

This attack was evidently unleashed by Ye Futian borrowing the power of the sacred remain. However, its power was on par with the terrifying might of aces who have gone through a level two divine tribulation.

This attack almost annihilated the enemies of the original void. From then on, in this land of the original realm, it was speculated that no one could contend against the forces of the Heavenly Mandate Academy. Of course, the premise was that Ye Futian was still alive.

Not only were the outsiders shocked, but also the powerhouses around Ye Futian. The cultivators from Ziwei Imperial Palace looked at the body of Shenjia the Great Emperor surrounded by divine light. At this moment, they understood the meaning of what Ye Futian said when he brought them here. It turned out that he himself had such a trump card.

At this moment, they also faintly understood why Ye Futian was selected to inherit Great Emperor Ziwei. A Great Emperor was, after all, a Great Emperor. He had selected the most outstanding person. The people from Ziwei Imperial Palace had no idea about Ye Futian’s past, but through this battle, they saw how terrifying Ye Futian would become in the future.

He was a person who had the chance of being at the zenith of the world. Like that the Great Emperor of the starry cultivation court said, he might very well inherit the throne in the future, revive the glory of Great Emperor Ziwei and lead the Ziwei Segmentum toward an era of greatness.

Imperceptibly, Ye Futian used a battle to convince these big shots of Ziwei Imperial Palace. In the past, this would never have crossed their minds.

With silent control, the storm gradually dissipated. The sky was brimming with the remnants of destruction.

Time seemingly stopped. Many people gazed at where Ye Futian was at. Divine Light was circulating on the body of Shenjia the Great Emperor. However, he did not move anymore. He just stood there quietly.

Everybody was staring at him, making speculations on whether Ye Futian could unleash another similar attack.

That transcendent attack. How much had it exhausted him?

What kind of state was Ye Futian currently in?

Silence. Absolute silence.

Nobody spoke. There was no sound. The body of Shenjia the Great Emperor quietly hovered in the air, making absolutely no movements.

People were thinking about testing him out, but no one was bold enough to do so. What if he could still fight? What if he could still perform the same attack all over again??

Should that be the case, whoever made the first move would be courting death.

The eerie scene played out within this space.

In fact, there were many top powerhouses among the crowd who had not made a move. After all, there were 18 domains in the Divine Prefecture. Many big shots had come from the Dark World and Empty Divine Realm. However, they remained as onlookers all along. Among them, many were looking at Ye Futian as if they were looking at prey.

They were not in a hurry. So what if Ye Futian could unleash another similar attack?

Nothing would change.

They were well aware that sooner or later, Ye Futian would crumble to the weight of power, and when that happened, it would be very simple for them to deal with Ye Futian.

However, what they have to consider was that after they dealt with Ye Futian, there would most probably be another fierce battle, a vie for the flesh of Ye Futian and Shenjia the Great. This battle would probably be even more terrifying and would involve even more forces.

In the distance, the aces from the Dark World were patiently waiting. They were not in a hurry. They were just quietly watching everything that was happening. Everything would come to an end, and sooner or later, Ye Futian would collapse to the immense burden.

With so many powerhouses starting at one prey, getting it was by no means an easy task. It depended not only on who was stronger but also on who was more patient.

The aces of the Heavenly Mandate Academy looked at the aces within the void. They were far away and scattered in different regions while they looked at them with envious eyes. The attack just now left them in shock. However, it was not enough to get them to retreat. Everyone was clear about this.

Lord Taixuan and others were all looking at Ye Futian with worry. What would be the outcome of this battle?

At this moment, the body of Shenjia the Great Emperor abruptly moved. Though the actions were simple, they sent tremors down to the hearts of many of the powerhouses. All of them stared at him fixedly.

“Are you still waiting for something?” Ye Futian looked around at the crowd and said. Naturally, he understood their intention. Besides, what they were thinking was also right. It was true that he was now bearing an unfathomable burden of power. That attack he delivered earlier on had exhausted a massive chunk of his power. If he were to continue to fight like this, he would very likely crumble.

No one responded. The aces just stared at him and turned a deaf ear to what he said. Ye Futian wanted them to give up. Was that even possible?

“You are refusing to leave because all of you want to kill me, seize the inheritance, and acquire the sacred remains. However, none of you will be able to control the body of Shenjia the Great Emperor. Likewise, none of you can obtain the inheritance of Great Emperor Ziwei. What I’m telling you is not a lie. Even if you kill me, it will be meaningless.” Ye Futian continued, “If you are still reluctant to leave, I will treat you as my enemy!”
