Chapter 2447: The Search

Buzz! Divine light bloomed upon Ye Futian’s body as infinite runes shrouded the boundless space. He took one look at the two lords across from him, seemingly wanting to bring them into his realm of total annihilation.

Lord Liberty and Lord Ye were both surrounded by the divine light of Sky Reaching Great Path. Even if they were deeply wounded, they could still communicate with the Great Path, gathering incredible power. Lord Liberty took a deep breath as a towering divine shadow appeared. It looked like the heavenly god of Liberty itself, unleashing a boundless and massive handprint at Ye Futian.

Lord Ye, likewise, was gathering a terrifying power of destruction. This shockingly destructive light aimed at Ye Futian for the kill. It was akin to the Way of total annihilation.

Shenjia the Great Emperor’s body was brilliant all over, surrounded by divine light, and covered in infinite runes.

A terrible attack descended to crush the runes. It blasted on the divine body, knocking the body of Shenjia the Great Emperor back. At the same time, divine lights came down from the firmament as if formed by those infinite runes. The incomparable divine sword traversed heaven and earth, zooming in on Lord Ye and Lord Liberty for the kill.

The faces of these two changed slightly, busy gathering the power of the Great Path to resist. But they had already suffered heavy injuries, their bodies bore the scars of the Great Path, and their last tyrannical blow against Ye Futian had, in fact, pared their own strength down to the extreme.

When the divine sword fell, it actually broke through their defenses and slashed toward them.

Accompanied by the brilliance of these two divine lights, the two fell rapidly as sounds of howling and cracking came from the void. Lord Liberty and Lord Ye were once again penetrated by the light from the divine sword. They both let out a muffled groan as they spat out some blood. Their faces paled, and their injuries deepened with this most recent blow.

Ye Futian and Lord Ye appeared in two completely different directions, with great distance between them. At this time, the divine light above the divine body of Shenjia the Great Emperor dimmed. He had also sustained a harsh blow from the two powerful cultivators, which caused the divine body to suffer considerable shock. His spiritual soul was also in great pain.

Lord Ye and Lord Liberty managed to stabilize their stance but coughed out a mouthful of blood. Their auras were now exceedingly weak. They looked at Ye Futian, and their eyes were filled with coldness. It seemed like they were still unwilling to let go of Ye Futian and planned to continue their joint attack.

The Great Path fluctuated violently with the turning of a mind. However, at this moment, a massive telekinetic power washed over them. They frowned before they saw a beautiful figure descending. She was surrounded by divine light, and her cold eyes were fixed on the two of them.

The person who arrived was none other than Hua Jieyu. She hadn’t left with Blind Tie and the others but was hanging about nearby. She came here as soon as she heard about the battle.

At this moment, in those cold and clear eyes of hers, there was a strong murderous intent.

“Jieyu, let’s go,” Ye Futian said in a voice that seemed uncharacteristically weak, plucking at Hua Jieyu’s heartstrings. Her eyes refocused on him, and instantly, her gaze softened. Her shape flickered. She did not bother to heed Lord Ye or the other one any longer but chose to leave with the body of Shenjia the Great Emperor.

Ye Futian loathed to let her get tangled in this mess because he still had some reservations. Even though Lord Ye and Lord Liberty were greatly weakened, they were existences that had survived the second Divine Tribulation of the Great Path. Such characters were a tremendous threat as long as they were alive. He was more worried about Jieyu being endangered that he rather retreat for now.

Lord Ye and Lord Liberty did not bother to chase after them either. The truth was that they were unable to give chase, as they were greatly incapacitated at this time. As they watched the pair leaving, they sighed silently inside. Ye Futian was a dead man walking. The addition of another Renhuang wouldn’t make any difference. Since Lord Initial Zen had informed Saint Zhenchan of his death, presumably the cultivators from Zhenchan Temple were now on their way over.

None of the four great lords were able to take down Ye Futian. In turn, they were set up by Ye Futian time and time again. Now, two were dead, and two were wounded. It was an outcome that was indescribably humiliating.

Whatever the future held, the two of them probably would have no part to play after this miserable display.

No one expected that a youngster from the Divine Prefecture would make such a mess out of things.

“Let’s go,” said Lord Ye. Then, he and Lord Liberty dragged their injured bodies away from the battlefield.

After they had left for a while, rays of divine light fell from the sky over the remanent of the divine mountain. A group of people descended soon after the light, all of them radiating with divine light. It seemed as if they were divine generals of sorts. Their brilliance was blinding and mighty. They were shrouded with a hint of the Light of Buddha, but they were no monks.

Among the cultivators from the Western World, though many top figures cultivated in methods that stemmed from Buddhism, it did not mean that they were believers of Buddhism.

“Take the overall forces within Six Desires Heaven and search thoroughly,” the man in the lead said, loud and clear. Immediately, the cultivators next to him broke through the air and departed towards various directions in the distance. The cultivator in the lead looked again in the distance and saw quite a lot of cultivators there. They were also present in Six Desires Heaven previously, but they had no way to intervene in that battle, nor did they dare chase after Ye Futian.

When Ye Futian left, two lords had fallen, while two more were seriously wounded; who would dare make a move without careful consideration?

“Show me everything you saw,” the man demanded. Right away, someone stepped forward. As his divine consciousness surged, an image appeared in the void, but only in parts. The Great Path had blocked off most of the space during the battle, and they could not witness many great battle scenes.

Under the condition at the time, no one else dared to enter deep into the battlefield. Mere ripples from the battle would easily destroy them.

After witnessing what little he could glean from the battle, the cultivator in the lead had a golden divine light in his eyes. Was the divine body of Shenjia the Great Emperor as powerful as this?

“He should have been seriously injured. If you would have intercepted him, he couldn’t possibly get away,” the leader glanced at those in the far distance and commented. Among them, there was no lack of those who had survived the Divine Tribulation of the Great Path. However, because of the devastating consequences of the four lords, they didn’t want to detain Ye Futian.

“Let’s set off with the search.” As the man commanded once more, all those cultivators levitated into the air immediately, heading for the different directions within Six Desires Heaven, ready to sniff out any trace of Ye Futian.

Six Desires Heaven was a big world—unimaginably expansive with endless cities, domains, numerous celestial mountains, as well as cultivation courts.

After Hua Jieyu took Ye Futian away from Six Desires Heaven, they did not go too far from where the fight took place. They came to a city and found a place to settle down. Traces of invisible aura fluctuated to cover up the place where they were resting. It was invisible and shapeless but capable of isolating any aura or divine consciousness from other top cultivators.

This was a forbidden zone created by Ye Futian with his life spirit. Despite its perfect fit with the house and the courtyard, it was an independent small world completely undetectable by outsiders.

The divine consciousness of top figures in the cultivation world could cover an extensive territory with a single sweep. But as they were used to conduct their search with their divine consciousness and not with their naked eyes, as long as their divine consciousness was cut off, it was no easy task to find a single person in this vast and endless land of Six Desires Heaven.

In the courtyard, Ye Futian’s spiritual soul had already returned to his body, as he had his eyes closed and was deep in cultivation, bathing in the aura of the Great Path of Life. The aura from the ancient tree of the world in his life spirit had penetrated every part of his body, restoring and repairing it, as his spiritual soul was being nourished!
