Chapter 2387: The Lost Clan Joins the Battle
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
This elderly cultivator from the Devil World was an ancient demon renowned in the Devil World for his ruthless brutality and killings. He was known as the Tuntian Demon Overlord. He was feared by countless powerful cultivators. Even in the devil world, he was dreaded and revered.
This devil’s hands are stained with the blood of countless individuals. He had devoured several Renhuang level cultivators, including ultra-powerful individuals, to develop himself. The demonic art he’d cultivated was also fundamentally evil and dominating.
Once, when many in the Devil World joined forces to eliminate him, it was said that countless had died in that battle, yet he still managed to escape. People continued to chase after him. Some said he was already dead. After disappearing for many years, no one thought he would now be working for the Devil Imperial Palace.
This old devil was famous even before the current Devil Emperor. Come to think of it. It was likely the current Devil Emperor—an unparalleled great being—who subjugated him and incorporated him into the Devil Emperor’s own force, not allowing him to show himself all this while.
After so many years, he was still stuck at the same cultivation level, unable to break through the final barrier. It seemed that this hurdle was still the ultimate mountain that he couldn’t climb over.
More importantly, a being like that had been deployed by the Devil Emperor to protect Yu Sheng. One could see how important Yu Sheng was to the Devil Emperor.
It’s likely that Old Demon Tuntian’s power level was on par with the Three Great Demon Sages.
A Demon Sage, or even a direct disciple of the Devil Emperor, would have to lower their heads to greet him. After all, just think about how many Demon Sages there were in total!
This meant that Yu Sheng’s status in the Devil World could be even higher than what they had initially thought.
“I didn’t think I would be able to meet a demon overlord from thousands of years ago. Since I’ve met you now, I have to experience your power for myself,” the Lord of the Tianyan City said. The mythical phenomenon that was appearing behind him turned more terrifying. At the same time, he asked, “Still not attacking… Are you guys planning on just watching?”
The other cultivators, who were at the top echelons of the Divine Prefecture, looked toward Ye Futian after hearing the Lord of Tianyan City. With Old Demon Tuntian here, even though the Lord of Tianyan City was incredibly powerful, it was unlikely that he could end the battle quickly. In order to capture Ye Futian, they would have to join in.
Bong! As a blaring sound echoed the air. A figure walked forward as a supremely dominating golden light shot out from him, covering an enormous, vast s.p.a.ce. It was the Vajra Region Lord. His divine lights deluged the skies, shooting toward Ye Futian.
From another position, the Lord of Haotian Clan stepped forward as well. With several other overlord cultivators, they all took one step forward. Someone said, “I’m afraid Renhuang Ye will have to explain his connection with the Devil World.”
“Given Yu Sheng’s status in the Devil World and how Ye Futian is said to have been friends with him since young, there’s probably some secrets about Ye Futian’s origin. We would like to know what this secret is,” another person said. It seemed that the high-level cultivators present had found an excuse to intervene. As these apex cultivators walked forward, one could imagine how terrifying their auras were.
Even with the power of Shenjia the Great Emperor’s body, Ye Futian still felt a suffocating feeling. Sikong Nan and the other Lost Clan cultivators quickly blocked him.
Just then, Ye Futian turned into a beam of light, Shenjia the Great’s body dashed straight into the clouds and continued flying toward the skies high above. If he were to really battle against cultivators of this level, any move could cause the collapse of the Great Path. Even though they were already at a high alt.i.tude, engaging in battle straight away would still cause damage to the Heavenly Mandate Realm, creating a calamity for them.
The Lost Clan cultivators followed Ye Futian and flew into the skies as well. The overlords of the various factions glanced up and stepped up as well. Their expressions remained emotionless.
Soon, up high in the sky, Ye Futian and the others seemed to have almost left the Heavenly Mandate Realm. They were in the stratosphere outside of the dominion—a nearly infinite s.p.a.ce. Ye Futian stood there, and the Lost Clan cultivators stood around him in various positions. Terrifying auras started to erupt from all of them.
Figures akin to that of Ancient G.o.ds appeared one after another in the limitless void, towering over the celestial skies. There seemed to be some sort of resonance between them.
For a time, a supreme aura streamed down from the celestial skies, forcing all of the cultivators who were chasing over to stop in their tracks and look up into the sky.
“Bind!” As the voice sounded, divine lights inundated the skies. There were projections of the Ancient G.o.ds in every direction atop the celestial skies. It was as if they were turning into a fortress, covering part of the world, spanning millions of miles.
What appeared in the sky was incredibly magnificent. In the boundless void, an endlessly large World of Seals appeared. Moreover, each of these seals had been formed by an Ancient G.o.d.
“Battle Matrix of the Rocks.”
The hearts of the cultivators das.h.i.+ng upward trembled. With the Ancient G.o.ds resonating, their might exerted great pressure upon the skies. Within it, the cultivators all sensed a supreme aura.
Just then, the sound of a guqin echoed out from within the Battle Matrix, and the cultivators’ expressions changed. They raised their heads and saw that inside the matrix, a figure sat cross-legged. It was Ye Futian. Before him was the divine guqin, which Hua Jieyu had returned to him. The Will of the Great Emperor erupted from him. He had pushed his own will to its fullest potential as he played the guqin.
The piece wasn’t that powerful, but it had a unique magical effect. By following the rhythm of the guqin, it led to a resonance between the will of the cultivators inside the Battle Matrix of the Rocks. For a time, the Divine Prefecture cultivators could feel the aura of the Battle Matrix continuing to strengthen. The power of the resonance was growing.
They frowned at what they sensed. Amongst the cultivators of the Lost Clan, they were already the most powerful beings in the Lost Clan. These were individuals who had overcome the second layer of the Divine Tribulation of the Great Path. There were also some who had overcome the first layer. These apex cultivators joined forces to forge the Battle Matrix of the Rocks and resonated in the process as if merging into one, indistinct from each other. It wouldn’t be difficult to imagine how powerful their auras were.
The Vajra Lord put his hands together instantly. A terrifying sound echoed within the world. Atop his body, an endlessly large Vajra Ancient G.o.d appeared, and it continued to expand in size. The Ancient G.o.d emitted a magnificent golden sheen all across his body, containing an aura that felt like ultra-sharp blades.
The Vajra Ancient G.o.d’s arms moved. Instantly, countless arms appeared all around the battlefield. They simultaneously struck out towards various positions in the celestial skies, covering every area of the Battle Matrix of the Rocks.
At that instant, it was as if physical s.p.a.ce was about to explode and shatter under the pressure of such a terrifying attack. Those golden divine seals were endlessly large. It was as if they were palm seals of a divine G.o.d. All of the seals clashed into the Battle Matrix with supreme might at the same time.
Boom, boom, boom… Terrifying waves of sound engulfed all who were present. The void trembled violently, and the Battle Matrix trembled as well. Yet, the Ancient G.o.ds’ figures continued to stand steady with no signs of collapse or destruction. The Battle Matrix of the Rocks was truly rock-steady—extremely firm and unmovable.
“Their defense is strong!” The rest of the cultivators’ hearts wavered. Even such a dominating attack couldn’t move the Battle Matrix of the Rocks. All the attack did was make it tremble; it didn’t even make a crack. It was not difficult to imagine how strong the defense of the Battle Matrix was. This was very similar to the battle at the Lost Clan last time!
