Chapter 2727: The Living Dead

Ye Futian looked behind him and saw the archway had disappeared. There was no way out.
He frowned slightly and took a deep breath. No wonder this place was known as the Forbidden Zone of the G.o.ds.
Concentrating and refocusing his thoughts, Ye Futian looked at this small world and found it was quite beautiful, like a place where immortals hermits cultivated. He was probably correct in a.s.suming that this was a cultivation place for deities. A mysterious atmosphere permeated the entire small world,
which could not be fully construed.
He looked at the road ahead and could vaguely make out several dead bodies.
As he moved forward, Ye Futian walked to a corpse and saw the corpse was well-preserved. There was a terrifying aura of the Great Path on the body, something like a fighting will. This was, in fact, not the dead man’s aura but the aura of what killed him.
This cultivator may have been killed by a will, so his body was not damaged, as he was obliterated without a fight.
Ye Futian heightened his alertness as he surrounded himself with wisps of Great Path aura, preparing to continue forward. However, at this moment, he suddenly felt an aura of extreme danger.
Buzz! He disappeared immediately from the spot, using the Buddha’s Celerity. A most powerful will descended instantly, ignoring his evasive movements and locked onto him. The Buddha’s Celerity seemed to have lost its effect.
Ye Futian continued to evade and dodge with Buddha’s Celerity. At the same time, the divine light of the Great Path flowed upon his body, protecting him, and a strong will erupted.
Bang! A loud boom was heard, and Ye Futian felt a terrifying will rushed into his body regardless of everything he was trying to do. His body fell from the void as he was blasted to the ground. His spiritual soul was shaken, and he was in a semi-unconscious state as if he was on the verge of blacking out.
“What happened?”
A thought appeared in Ye Futian’s mind as the aura of the Great Path shrouded him. In an instant, a terrifying will descended.
Instantly, Ye Futian retracted the will of the Great Path upon him, and the will dissipated immediately. Nothing appeared, nor were there any more attacks.
“This…”
Ye Futian’s heart was beating wildly as he remained lying on the ground, staring at the sky above the ruins in a daze. That horrid will was coming from above as if it had integrated into this small world.
“Tt can track auras,” a voice sounded in Ye Futian’s head. If he had reacted any slower just now, the second attack would have fallen right on top of him. This small world did not allow the existence of other auras. As soon as any other wills of the Great Path were detected, it would attract powerful attacks.
Fortunately, he realized it just in time. Or else, he would have been bombarded to death by this will.
Was this how those other cultivators died?
Probably some people hadn’t even had time to react before they were killed; they didn’t even know what came over them.
With his cultivation realm and willpower, a single blow that could render him powerless like this was enough to demonstrate how terrifying the attack was. If another cultivator in the Second Tribulation Plane were hit by this blow, he would lose half of his life even if he managed to survive. It was more
likely for someone to be killed by a blow like that.
More importantly, some people couldn’t react at all after being attacked the first time, so even if they didn’t die from the first blow, they would instinctively release the power of the Great Path to resist. Then, what awaited them would be the second round of attack.
“Forbidden Zone!”
Ye Futian laid there and didn’t get up. He had been taught a lesson as soon as he came in.
It seemed that the Forbidden Zone of the G.o.ds was not so easy to get through. Here, the existence of other Great Paths was forbidden. Any other auras would be immolated summarily.
The will of the Great Path flowed inside Ye Futian’s body and did not disperse outside of him. He was repairing his own injury, and after a while, he finally stood up and looked in front of him.
After taking another deep breath, Ye Futian walked forward without any fluctuation in the aura of his Great Path.
The crisis that occurred moments ago made him realize that all other paths from the outside were forbidden in this small world.
Were the Heavenly G.o.ds so aggressive and unforgiving?
Ye Futian walked forward, and he was doing so very slowly. He did not dare to be careless, and he was in no hurry.
As he moved forward, he found that the scenery in this small world was stunning, refined, and peaceful, and it was an excellent place for cultivation in solitude. With no one to disturb, this was a most suitable place to cultivate in retreat.
Moreover, as Ye Futian kept moving forward, he did not encounter other dangers. His journey had been very smooth. It seemed that as long as he did not release the aura of the Great Path, there would be no danger for him.
Ye Futian’s pace quickened as he continued forward in this small world. Along the way, there were more corpses. If these people were able to make it this far, it was possible that they may have seen the mystery of this s.p.a.ce. Their deaths, most likely, were the results of them trying to seize the items they
found in this small world. As battles between cultivators ensued, things might have gotten out of hand.
There are many things in here that were unusual and contained a wisp of the will of the Great Emperor, filled with extraordinary auras. Ye Futian had sensed it when he was moving forward, but he did not try to take any of them. Right now, everything was unknown, so he had to be highly cautious; he
wanted to see what secrets were held in this small world.
“More bodies.”
At this moment, the will in front of him was getting more robust, and there were more and more bodies strewn about on the ground. So much so that Ye Futian had to slow down again. He could sense the danger all around him.
“Someone’s there.”
Ye Futian looked at a place and saw an old man who looked extremely dirty behind a giant boulder, who had retracted his aura. He remained motionless like a non-presence. If Ye Futian hadn’t seen the man, he would not have even sensed his presence.
As if he had detected Ye Futian’s presence, the old man opened his eyes, and a cold light came through those eyes as he said via voice transmission, “Leave.”
Ye Futian didn’t quite understand. He frowned as he looked at the old man and responded by voice transmission as well, “Sir, what was up ahead?”
This old man was deliberately using voice transmission to communicate with him. It seemed that he was trying to avoid something.
“Go away.” The old man seemed a little exasperated as he stared at Ye Futian with eyes that seemed to want to swallow him. Ye Futian frowned, still puzzled by his reaction. Then, a strong sense of danger descended upon them. His eyes sharpened as he looked ahead and saw that a highly terrifying aura
was approaching them.
In an instant, Ye Futian became a little nervous, and his expression was extremely grave. In this small world, he realized, auras could not be released. Otherwise, the attack from the will of the Great Emperor would descend and slay anyone who released the atmosphere. However, why was there such a
powerful aura ahead of them?
The old man hiding there also felt it, and he didn’t look pleased. He got up quickly and moved away at an incredible speed, trying to flee here as soon as possible. He did not release his aura, but the method he employed was still excellent.
Buzz! An afterimage chased after him rapidly; it was a figure in white. Ye Futian didn’t even have a chance to discern what that white shadow was before he heard a violent booming sound coming from ahead of him.
Bang! With a loud sound, the white afterimage collided with the old man. Immediately, the old man’s body was knocked into flying, slamming into the stone wall next to him. A ma.s.sive amount of blood was coming out of his mouth.
And that white afterimage stopped and came into Ye Futian’s field of vision.
“The ancients?”
Ye Futian’s eyes sharpened. This was a woman clad in nothing but white, and she was immaculate. She had a fantastic will upon her, the same as the will that was attacking him before.
This woman’s visage was beautiful beyond words as if it was perfectly carved. She did not appear to belong to the human world but an immortal G.o.ddess who walked out of a painting. Although her eyes seemed to be that of a normal person, they seemed to be missing something, like a spark of life.
From her, Ye Futian could not feel any signs of life.
“The living dead!”
Ye Futian’s eyes sharpened at this realization… Obviously, the woman who appeared in front of him was an ancient who belonged in this small world, not someone who entered it!
