Chapter 2314: The Blade and the Rod
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
A strong Broadsword Will appeared in the entire field. Under this Broadsword Will, Ye Futian felt that everything he saw in front of him was changing. It was as if this place was no longer as it was previously. Instead, it was now filled with terrifying demon G.o.ds.
These demon G.o.ds were each holding a demonic blade, standing in different positions, covering this corner of the sky. Terrifying Broadsword Will tore through the s.p.a.ce, aiming toward him as if to crush his Will completely.
Just this Broadsword Will alone was enough to shock everyone into silence, capable of knocking them down. Any Renhuang who was not firm enough would doubtlessly crumble under this Broadsword Will, unable to bear its intimidation.
Xiao Mu held the blade in both hands. At this moment, all the demon G.o.ds in the heavens seemed to be holding the demonic blade in their hands as well. A fierce storm of destruction swept across the s.p.a.ce. Before the blade was discharged, Ye Futian could sense the oppression of the Broadsword Will slas.h.i.+ng down to suppress him, a pressure so heavy it was almost suffocating.
It was simply astounding. Even when he was facing those at the peak of Renhuang in the Ninth Realm, Ye Futian had never experienced such intense oppression. Of course, it may be that someone at this level hadn’t really collided with him in the real sense of the word.
But there was no doubt that Xiao Mu’s own combat power was spectacularly horrific. After all, he was the direct disciple taught by the Devil Emperor himself and a Renhuang of the Eighth Realm.
Once in the realm of Upper Renhuang, the gap in each step of the realm was significant, much like an insurmountable chasm. But Ye Futian was now facing a direct disciple of the Devil Emperor, who was an entire realm higher than him.
The roar that erupted from Ye Futian’s body of the Great Path became more fervent and violent. The Broadsword Will descended on his body but was unable to crush his will. There was a faint imperial divine glory s.h.i.+ning upon him so that he appeared even more impressive.
He had inherited the power of several Great Emperors. Among them, Shenjia the Great Emperor and Ziwei the Great were both extraordinary Great Emperor cultivators. Shenjia the Great Emperor had dared to challenge the heavens, while Ziwei the Great commanded several Great Emperors under him. Having inherited the Incomparable powers of these two, Ye Futian had constructed an indestructible physical body and spiritual will. In short, he was not that easily shaken.
Furthermore, as he felt that potent Broadsword Will, his body boomed. And an equally intimidating spirit manifested upon him as well. The starlight flowed upon his body which seemed to transform into a starry sky world. At this moment, his physical body underwent another transformation. He became something like a divine body of the starry sky.
Moreover, there was a terrifying howl of an ape that shook heaven and earth. Suddenly, strong coercion emerged as a ma.s.sive War Ape appeared behind Ye Futian.
Boom… The War Ape trampled above everything, and suddenly, the sky roared. The vast s.p.a.ce seemed to solidify. This War Ape, like a battle beast from the starry sky, was the Starry War Ape.
An unusual vision appeared in the world behind Ye Futian.
This sight before them made many cultivators trembled inside. What ability could cause such a vision to appear?
Previously, they had not seen Ye Futian using it.
The cultivators from Four Corner Village squinted their eyes as their hearts quivered. They had not antic.i.p.ated Ye Futian to have cultivated this divine method to this degree. The Starry War Song, one of the seven divine methods of Four Corner Village, could summon the Starry War Ape, whose presence was incredibly wild and menacing. Its attack power was unparalleled.
This particular ability was controlled by s.h.i.+ Kui in Four Corner Village. At the same time, when Ye Futian unlocked the mysteries of Four Corner Village, he had also cultivated various secret methods. This was something known by all the cultivators from the village.
Now, it seemed that Ye Futian was using another divine method from the Four Corner Village to fight against the disciple of the Devil Emperor.
At this moment, Xiao Mu raised the blade with both hands, and the demonic light circulated upon the demonic blade, forming a frightening sight. In this field, many illusions of the demon G.o.d seemed to raise their blades simultaneously, ready to strike. Even before the strike was unleashed, its power was already shocking. It was as if it could shatter this corner of the sky, and no one was capable of stopping it.
Cultivators from the Devil World below wore a solemn expression as their eyes fastened on Xiao Mu, who was in the void.
Even though Xiao Mu’s Super Destructive Heavenly Demon Form was physically defeated by Ye Futian, now boosted by the Nine Slashes of the Heavenly Demon, what kind of earth-shattering destructive power would be discharged by this combination?
They were expectant as well. It seemed that Xiao Mu had never treated an opponent so seriously.
Ye Futian had really angered Xiao Mu. And that had pushed Xiao Mu into his strongest state yet, gathering all his strength to battle with Ye Futian.
Xiao Mu took a step forward, and a majestic and ma.s.sive figure of the demon G.o.d appeared above the firmament. It stood there, containing the most supreme majestic spirit to crush down on this s.p.a.ce. In this area, under the figure of that demon G.o.d, everything was null, and all beings were inconsequential.
Nine Slashes of the Heavenly Demon contained nine styles of strike, and each strike morphed to increase in strength. When the nine strikes were released, even the Heavenly Demon would be cut down, hence the name.
Xiao Mu’s hands slammed down. Even with cultivation as great as his, he needed to exert an incredible amount of strength to unleash this sword strike, as if on the verge of exhausting all of his energy to release it. Just this first strike alone seemed to have hollowed out his strength and spiritual energy.
But at the same time, only when he smashed down with the blade did the cultivators around them realize what was happening.
A pitch-black fissure appeared between heaven and earth, and everything was split open and pulverized. At the same time, the illusions of the demon G.o.d in their surrounding also mimicked their movements and struck. In this area of the Great Path, a series of blasting light of the blades cut through the void, destroying everything in their path.
Even those major figureheads felt their hearts tremble when this strike was unleashed.
It was simply too powerful. Just the first strike contained such horrific prowess. This was the true blade technique. Compared with the demonic blade in front of them, it seemed that what they had known before to be blade techniques couldn’t be considered “technique” at all.
Terrifying rumbling sounds were heard, and the vision of the Great Path around Ye Futian was becoming more radiant as a starry world surrounded by countless stars was formed. When the blade light came down, the Starry War Ape howled into the heavens, and those surrounding stars created an unparalleled defensive force, blocking the invading Broadsword Will and those countless sword shadows.
At the same time, a rod appeared in Ye Futian’s hand, as if it had been transformed by the stars. It was heavy, full of boundless and overbearing energy. When the blade slashed toward him, the rod blasted forth.
These two terrifying forces met and collided in mid-air. The destructive demonic blade slashed through the shadow of the rod that had shattered the s.p.a.ce. The power that erupted from the contact began to tear through the surrounding s.p.a.ce. The Great Path was shattered into pieces, and cracks appeared where the attacks had occurred.
Xiao Mu’s combination was the Super Destructive Heavenly Demon Form aided by the Nine Slashes of the Heavenly Demon. However, Ye Futian’s Divine Body of the Great Path worked in sync with the Starry War Song from Four Corner Village and the power of the Starry Great Path. The ultimate power exuded from this combination was unimaginably frightening.
The storm of destruction still raged between the two. Xiao Mu’s eyes were pitch-black and impenetrable. His arm retracted as the blade returned between his hands, raised high above. Dark divine light of thunder fell and circulated upon the blade. An even more powerful demonic light rushed into the sky, and Xiao Mu unleashed the second strike without any hesitation.
Each strike from the Nine Slashes of the Heavenly Demon was stronger than the previous strike. Even Renhuang at the peak couldn’t survive just a couple of these slashes!
