The Legend of Futian

Chapter 2363 - Mighty Opponents

Chapter 2363: Mighty Opponents

Above the sky, Ye Futian was standing tall, surrounded by all these cultivators who were challenging him. Under the crowning of the divine light, it was obvious that anyone who was here was someone with a commanding presence in the Divine Prefecture.

At this moment, a voice came out as a man took a step forward. The man was brilliant all over while releasing a golden divine glory. His upper body was draped in a golden half-shirt, the same color as his skin, which seemed to be golden as well. This was the Divine Child from the Vajra Region, whose strength was tremendous.

The Vajra Region was one of the principalities within the Ancient God Clan, housed inside the Vajra Domain of the 18 domains in Divine Prefecture. The method of cultivation in the Vajra Region was wild and aggressive, impenetrable and invincible. The cultivators’ physical bodies were tempered to the extreme to cast the Vajra Divine Body—also known as the Vajra Indestructible Form—impervious to any Great Path. Any existence of the same level, even if allowed to attack at will, could not manage to shatter this particular physical form.

In the Vajra Domain, the Vajra Region was a world onto itself. It was a world carved by the gods in the days of yore. It was said that the Great Path Rule that was inside of it was somewhat different from those on the outside world. Those born into the Vajra Region were said to be extraordinary, baptized by the divine power of the Vajra Region during their growth. Only those who could awaken the power of the Vajra Region were qualified to become an official member. Those who could not would only exist in the margins of the Vajra Region, not considered one of its cultivators in any real sense. The same went for the many principalities within the Ancient God Clan, most of which were not at its core.

Since there were not many cultivators for this reason, even the Domain Chief’s Manor of the Vajra Region had to be especially courteous to the cultivators in the region. The status of these cultivators was not necessarily lower than that of the Domain Chief’s Manor, and most of them were far above it.

At this moment, the Divine Child of the Vajra Region looked at Ye Futian. He put his hands together and bowed slightly without speaking. However, the divine light of the Great Path bloomed, and an incredibly sharp aura expanded from him. The instant his arms moved, an extremely strong and sharp will suddenly manifested in the space, shrouded by golden divine light. Although he had not made his move yet, the sense of threat was clearly palpable.

The divine light on the Divine Child was shining so magnificently and brilliantly, with indescribable radiance. He raised his hand and pointed towards Ye Futian across the space. In an instant, the power of this gesture penetrated heaven and the earth, leaving an arc of light in the void that zoomed in on Ye Futian, with intent to kill.

Buzz... The divine light was exceptionally bright, cutting through the space with absolute dominance. It was as if the power of this one finger was even more terrifying than any divine swords, that it was capable of penetrating everything and get in front of Ye Futian.

Everyone was observing this attack closely. Vajra Region’s divine power was second to none, the likes of which were difficult to find even among the Ancient God Clan. They were all curious as to how Ye Futian would counter it.

Ye Futian felt the threat from his opponent as soon as the man acted. Ye Futian’s entire body was full of brilliance, and a terrible light was released from the divine body. There was a roaring boom of the Great Path as his body turned into the Way with incomparable dominance.

Infinite sword-shaped characters appeared, surrounding his divine body. Likewise, Ye Futian raised his hand and pointed. In an instant, there seemed to be infinite sword will that resonated between heaven and earth. Numerous sword-shaped characters gathered upon Ye Futian’s finger and came down with the motion of his finger. As his hand dropped, the sword manifested between his fingers, and at this moment, his divine body of the Great Path was a body of sword.

Two forces of the two fingers converged and collided in the void. That Vajra Finger kept moving forward, destroying all sword will along the way. But upon Ye Futian’s body, endless divine swords gathered together, as if they had turned into a river of swords. The Vajra Finger navigated through the river as a terrifying divine glory erupted from it. However, it could not get closer to Ye Futian and pulverized under the infinite sword will.

“What an aggressive attack.” Below, cultivators from the Heavenly Mandate Academy shuddered. He was, indeed, the Divine Child of the Vajra Region. As expected, none of these people were ordinary. They couldn’t help but worried for Ye Futian.

After all, this was never meant to be a fair battle. With all these cultivators laying siege on him, how was Ye Futian supposed to fight that?

The Vajra Region’s Divine Child didn’t stop there. His hands clasped together, and suddenly an infinite golden divine glory bloomed from his body, which turned into a god-like phantom. He looked straight at Ye Futian, uttered a sound while his palms faced forward. Suddenly a gigantic and boundless giant palm blasted forward. At the same time, above the void, countless Giant Palms of Vajra manifested. They sheltered the heaven as well as this corner of the sky, intending on burying Ye Futian right here, right now.

Ye Futian focused his attention there as his mind turned. Immediately he was surrounded by stars, which transformed this area into a starry sky world. Many of the stars seemed to merge into one as their brilliance became interwoven and revolved around Ye Futian.

Accompanied by loud rumbling sounds, countless Giant Palms of Vajra blasted him with unspeakable belligerence. These giant palms madly expanded until they could crush these stars, causing them to explode. Nonetheless, they still could not break down the starry defense in this Starry Domain.

The body of the Divine Child floated in the air as his Vajra Battle Form was becoming even more massive. In an instant, endless golden divine glory blanketed the world, as if the entire world was taken over by the Vajra Region. Above the firmament, endless Giant Palms of Vajra slammed down, covering this corner of the sky, including the Starry Domain.

Boom... At this moment, the many stars that surrounded Ye Futian began to explode frantically, as if the sky and earth were on the verge of being split wide open; the whole scene was beyond horrifying. Those frightening palms continued to strike down and swept toward Ye Futian, who was surrounded by the stars.

“Spectacular!”

“The divine power of Vajra Region is truly deserving of its reputation, verily one of the most domineering powers in the world.” Some other cultivator from the Ancient God Clan whispered. As they were watching the battlefield, they were in no real hurry to join in the action. If Ye Futian were able to quell Xi Chiyao, it would not be easy for the Vajra Region’s Divine Child to take him.

An even more radiant starlight was released from Ye Futian’s body, and the surrounding stars suddenly got brighter. The light seemed to have transformed into something tangible. With Ye Futian’s body roughly as the center, an absolute field now formed. Inside this area, a Starry Shield appeared, protecting Ye Futian.

Boom, boom, boom... The terrifying Giant Palms of Vajra blasted down, smashing on the light screen, but was unable to destroy it. The starry light screen was clear as crystal and completely transparent. The divine glory on Ye Futian seemed to melt into the light screen as if it was part of his Great Path Divine Body. This kind of large-scale offensive method, aggressive though it may be, was simply unable to breakthrough.

Those who were watching exclaimed inwardly. As expected, someone that even Xi Chiyao could not take down would not be so easily defeated. Just the defensive power of this Starry Shield alone was astounding.

Vajra Region’s Divine Child did not take any other actions before someone else stepped out. The man was the heir of Yuanshi Palace from the Ancient God Clan in Yuanshi Domain. He glanced there before pointed his right hand toward the sky. Suddenly a formation appeared in the heavens, as terrible swords chiming and reverberating between heaven and earth. Infinite Divine Swords were gathered within the formation, unleashing astonishing sword will. Each sword contained God-Punishing power, which was enough to destroy all existence.

“Despicable.” Cultivators from the Heavenly Mandate Academy looked on coldly, and some of them commented audibly. While the Vajra Region’s Divine Child was still attacking, someone else had stepped in to attack Ye Futian as well.

“It is comical that the cultivators of the Divine Prefecture’s Ancient God Clan had to join forces to fight against someone with a lower realm of cultivation,” Fang Gai said sarcastically. However, the cultivator in the void responded, “Don’t worry, it’s just a test, and we won’t hurt him. We just wanted to see the level of ability Emperor Ye has achieved.”

As soon as the voice trailed off, the Formation Divine Sword came down from the firmament, much like the power generated by the God-Punishing swordsmanship. It aimed to destroy as it impacted the Starry Shield.

What he did not say was that while they would spare Ye Futian’s life, they would press him to his utmost limit, forcing him to reveal all of his abilities and methods. They wanted to see if there was anything hidden by the Original Realm’s number one genius talent?

When the falling swords fell on the shield, fine fractures appeared on the surface of the shield. With more and more fractures appearing, and the Giant Palms of Vajra continued blasting down as well, those fine fractures now turned into considerable cracks.

“The Divine Punishment Sword Matrix of Yuanshi Palace is indeed horrific, and this is just a small sword matrix.” The surrounding cultivators were not only observing Ye Futian’s combat effectiveness, but they were also observing the strengths of those from the Ancient God Clan. Though they were aware of each other’s existence before, many of them had never met, much less making any exchange with one another.

Now, they could see the level of strengths possessed by these cultivators.

Of course, they may not use all their methods all at once; they would be wise to keep some of their abilities to themselves.

Bang... With continuous loud booms, the Starry Shield shattered. The terrifying God-Punishment Sword and the overbearing Giant Palms of Vajra continued blasting down, chasing after Ye Futian. Those in the Heavenly Mandate Academy were secretly worried when they witnessed this shocking battle scene. The opponents that Ye Futian was facing now were all excellent peak figures.
