Chapter 2336: Advocating Peace
Ye Futian watched and noticed that as this dangerous aura permeated, the figures of the nine cultivators from the Lost Clan gradually became more elusive. It was as if they were making an offering of sacrifice.
But at the same time, a sense of destruction manifested within the battle matrix made up by the nine of them, who had been pa.s.sively defending until now. Hua Junlai and the others, strong as they were, could also feel an overwhelming crisis looming ahead.
Instinct told them that it was dangerous and their lives may be threatened.
Boom… An astonis.h.i.+ng roar of the Great Path was heard as those figures of the ancient G.o.ds continued to grow and expand. Those previously benign ancient deities were now filled with fierce and menacing spirits. They transformed into vengeful G.o.ds. They looked down into the battle matrix at those nine challengers and made no effort to disguise their murderous intent.
At this moment, everyone realized that it was not that the cultivators of the Lost Clan were not experts in slaughtering offensive methods. It was simply that they were reluctant to use it. They had chosen to defend pa.s.sively before because they didn’t want this battle to create any further grievances.
However, even though they tried their best to guard the Battle Matrix of the Rocks, Hua Junlai and the others continued to press with their aggressive tactics and would not stop until they break down the battle matrix.
If they continued their attack, it was just a matter of time before the battle matrix collapsed. The attacks of these eight cultivators had already threatened the Battle Matrix of the Rocks, and the outcome would be the total destruction of the battle matrix and the nine cultivators of the Lost Clan along with it. Hua Junlai and the others would force their way into the heart of the Lost Clan’s holy land and cultivate there. This was something that the Lost Clan could not accept, so their action of unleas.h.i.+ng their lethal counterattacks was inevitable.
Hua Junlai and his cohort had made a decision, and so did the Lost Clan.
Since they were all going to die, why bother to maintain a semblance of mercy?
“This is crazy.” The cultivators of the top princ.i.p.alities from Divine Prefecture scowled when they saw this latest development in the battlefield, especially those from the Ancient G.o.d Clan, whose cultivators were partic.i.p.ating in the fight. Traces of aggressive aura erupted from them, covering the boundless s.p.a.ce instantaneously. The air was so explosive that it could be ignited with just a turning of their minds.
At the same time, several powerful cultivators also stepped forward from the Lost Clan and released astonis.h.i.+ng coercion that directly engaged the momentum of several top princ.i.p.alities from Divine Prefecture. Every one of them looked solemn; their eyes showed their steely resolve.
The cultivators from the Lost Clan had no fear in their eyes. They would do everything in their power to stay true to their beliefs, including sacrificing their own lives.
With such an abundance of courage, what else did they need to fear?
Having been in the darkness for so many years, now that the light was finally in sight, how could they fail at a time like this?
The nine cultivators on the battlefield were also living proofs of their beliefs, fighting without fear, all for protecting their continent.
Ye Futian saw this and thought that if this were to continue, both sides would probably suffer greatly; even the nine cultivators of the Lost Clan would probably die right on the spot. As for the people inside the Battle Matrix of the Rocks, there was no telling what would happen to them, but it would definitely not be anything good. If they didn’t die, they would certainly suffer grave injuries.
At that time, when two uncontrollable sides go to war, the fighting would not be limited to the battlefield then but would also spill over to the outside.
Outside, there were already many kinds of tyrannical auras colliding with one another because the s.p.a.ce outside the battlefield was equally intense, on the verge of total explosion. It seemed that a conflict might break out at any moment.
If the strength of this Battle Matrix of the Rocks had truly threatened the lives of the cultivators inside the formation, those top figures from the Ancient G.o.d Clan would, no doubt, intervene right away. After all, they were nothing like the Lost Clan. To those from the Ancient G.o.d Clan, there were not so many rules and restrictions to observe, and their att.i.tude towards life was quite different from that of the Lost Clan; they didn’t have to fight with their lives here.
The cultivators inside the Battle Matrix of the Rocks were the top enchanting geniuses from their clan, and the heir of the Ancient G.o.d Clan was amongst them.
This battle was already an unequal affair. The Lost Clan had always been in an absolutely pa.s.sive position. They had to desperately defend themselves, while the Ancient G.o.d Clan didn’t need to.
That destructive coercion was getting stronger, with a terrifying might. All the ancient G.o.ds incarnated as glaring deities. b.l.o.o.d.y divine light shot out from their eyes with horrific murderous intent. The rumbling sound came out as frightening golden divine light raging in this battlefield s.p.a.ce, and every trace of divine light seemed to contain amazingly destructive power. Hua Junlai and others deployed a protective divine light to block the impact of this golden light. However, at this time, the depressive aura became so dominant that the entire s.p.a.ce had been imprisoned, and those within it could hardly move their bodies.
“Kill.” A cold murderous intent flashed across Hua Junlai and the others’ eyes, accompanied with a look of determination. It had become challenging for them to move at will, but an absolute divine brilliance of the Great Path erupted above them. They advanced slowly towards those ancient G.o.ds, moving in for the fatal blow.
Bang, bang, bang… Astonis.h.i.+ng attacks fell as cracks appeared on the bodies of those Ancient G.o.d Clan.
Boom! At the same time, a loud crash was heard, and the void seemed to be shattering and pulverizing as Hua Junlai and the others let out a low groan. The nine cultivators from the Lost Clan seemed to have forgotten themselves, burning themselves up while their strength was still increasing. The attacks from both sides stuck together, and no one was willing to back down. This would only end when one side was destroyed.
At this time, Ye Futian moved, and an astonis.h.i.+ng violent sound erupted from his divine body of the Great Path. The booming of the Great Path continued without ceasing, and the Sword Will roared. He moved forward like a sword himself, stepping into the void, in the midst of the enormous oppression of the battle matrix, inching closer to the battlefield.
Gradually, his speed was getting faster. His body transformed into the Way, like an indestructible divine sword. He descended as a stream of light and directly blasted on the Battle Matrix of the Rocks. In an instant, fissures appeared on the battle matrix. A painful expression appeared on the Lost Clan cultivators’ faces, but they still didn’t waver.
Ye Futian’s Sword Will was getting stronger, as that power penetrated everything and attacked the formation. When he beheld this sight, Hua Junlai and the others had a look of satisfaction on their faces. Finally, Ye Futian made his move.
“Break the battle matrix,” Hua Junlai offered.
“How about stopping right here, right now?” Ye Futian looked inside the Battle Matrix of the Rocks. His eyes seemed to penetrate through it, landing on those nine powerful cultivators from the Lost Clan. Although the nine still had their eyes closed, at this moment, Ye Futian felt as if he was facing them, conversing with them.
Was it too late to stop now?
If they stop, would these cultivators from Divine Prefecture stop?
“It’s not worth it for a fight. Both sides can take a step back. Let’s considered this a tie,” Ye Futian suggested.
Outside, when the old man from the Lost Clan saw this, his attention drifted towards Ye Futian’s location. Previously, he was a little surprised when Ye Futian made his move. He thought that Ye Futian would break up the matrix himself, but now it seemed that he wanted to advocate peace instead.
The thing was, how could it be as simple as he thought? It was the people from Divine Prefecture who refused to give up.
“It’s not the Lost Clan who won’t let go,” said the elder of the Lost Clan, who was on the outside.
“If they refuse to quit, I will leave it alone and let you deal with them, and they can be responsible for what happens after,” Ye Futian continued. His words drew the attention of Hua Junlai and the others as they looked at him with some frostiness!
