Chapter 2940: The War Between the G.o.ds Broke Out
Ye Futian hovered in the void of the Heavenly Realm while watching the projections of the live happenings from all realms that appeared around him.
The cultivators of the Human Realm unleashed their worldwide conquest and began to slaughter the people from other realms indiscriminately. Mountains of corpses could be seen everywhere—it was a living h.e.l.l.
The scariest part of it all would be the cultivators of the Human Realm who looked like they were possessed. None of them were in their right minds. It was as if they were born to kill. Moreover, their strength was greatly enhanced, making them an unstoppable bunch of mindless killing machines.
“Amitabha.” The Buddha of Destiny, who stood beside Ye Futian, started reciting Buddhist Sutra. He put his hands together after witnessing the violent and gory scenes.
“Are you able to peer into the fate of our future?” Ye Futian asked the Buddha of Destiny.
“Even I could not peep into your future destiny, Your Highness. There is no way to prevent this predestined fate from taking place. Furthermore, the elite cultivators in this world will have to go through great tribulation. Unfortunately, I cannot perceive what fate has in store for us beyond this point due to the limitation of my cultivation,” the Buddha of Destiny put his palms together and answered. Although he could not look into Ye Futian’s destiny, he could tell that the latter would have to face an arduous ordeal.
“Is there no one that can stop the Human Ancestor?” Ye Futian murmured. The Human Ancestor had been controlling the cultivators of the Human Realm to conquer the whole world. But, the former still could not figure out what was the ultimate goal of the latter.
The Buddha of Destiny remained taciturn. The Human Ancestor was the most mysterious and powerful existence since the ancient days. Even though they could alter the flow of time, they still could not catch up to the tier of his cultivation and make up for the difference between their cultivation duration.
Ye Futian enveloped the entire domain of the Heavenly Realm with his divine consciousness. Following that, he noticed many combatants in danger, and the two legions he had personally trained had lost many of their forces. Even Xia Qingyuan, Dou Zhao, and the rest were in dire situations. Although they were powerful cultivators, they began to show signs of fatigue after continuously fighting for days. There were constant reinforcements from the Human Realm, and none of them acted like themselves.
This was never a fair battle from the start. The Human Ancestor had manipulated the war by controlling the minds of the cultivators of the Human Realm.
After watching the devastative scenes from the projections, Ye Futian knew that he could not allow things to go on like this. If he were to be led by the Human Ancestor’s pace, it would spell doom for the living beings in the world. It was something that they could never afford to see.
Bang! Ye Futian manifested a terrifying G.o.d’s Might that covered the entire atmosphere of the Heavenly Realm with a thought. At once, everyone lifted their heads to look at the sky. The cultivators of the Human Realm furrowed their brows while the combatants of the Heavenly Realm, who looked exhausted and demoralized, felt a huge relief because their ruler—the Heavenly Emperor—began to interfere with the war.
If the war continued any longer, all of them would be annihilated.
“Attention, you who have invaded the Heaven Realm! The Human Ancestor refined the Human Realm and controlled you to occupy the Heavenly Realm and ma.s.sacre its people! But I hereby announce that there shall be no killing and battling in the Heavenly Realm from this moment onward! Everyone must obey the order for a ceasefire! Offenders will be subject to immediate execution!”
Ye Futian’s voice resounded through the whole Heavenly Realm. Naturally, the cultivators of the Human Realm would never listen to his words, as they would only obey the will of the Human Ancestor to fight for the cause of their justice and unite the Seven Realms.
From their point of view, Ye Futian had said that because he was afraid of losing. Now that he was on the losing end of the battle, the only way to turn the tide would be his intervention.
...
“Kill them!” Some cultivators of the Human Realm in the Heavenly Imperial City paid no heed to Ye Futian’s warning and continued their killing spree. They could not think straight since they were controlled by their emotions. They were trapped in their obstinacy, while some even lost themselves to the Human Ancestor’s mind control.
Boom! A Tribulation of Destruction rained from the sky while an overpowering G.o.d’s Might permeated the air. All those who came into contact with it were completely erased.
In that instant, countless lights of catastrophe shot down from the sky and killed numerous cultivators of the Human Realm.
“Everyone, retreat from the battlefield at once!” Ye Futian ordered. He was afraid that the cultivators of the Human Realm might take revenge on him since he had broken the unspoken rule of the cultivation world. Hence, he commanded the combatants of the Heavenly Realm to pull back.
Rumble! An ominous sound could be heard reverberating in the air. The s.p.a.ce pa.s.sage that connected from the Human Realm enlarged even more. The border between the two realms seemed to have vanished. There would no longer be a distinction between the Heaven Realm and the Human Realm.
A Destructive Divine Thunder—also called the Chaos True Thunder—was fired from the Human Realm to the Heavenly Realm at a scale that could exterminate every cultivator in that realm.
At the same time, multiple silhouettes of the G.o.ds showed up at the connecting point between the two realms, exuding a spine-chilling aura.
Nevertheless, many figures of the Great Emperors appeared beside Ye Futian. It was the rivalry between the newly emerged Great Emperors of the Heavenly Realm and the old G.o.ds from ancient times.
“Charge!”
The people of the Human Realm gasped in astonishment. Instantaneously, the silhouettes of the G.o.ds vanished from sight when they crossed over the Heaven Realm, appearing again at different locations in the next instant. Since Ye Futian had broken the unspoken rules, there would be no law and restriction anymore.
What happened next would be a genocide.
Figures of ancient G.o.ds headed toward multiple points at high speed, turning into flashes of lightning as they moved.
The group of the Great Emperors beside Ye Futian made a move the moment the bodies of the ancient G.o.ds glowed up. Aiming at their targets, the former disappeared into thin air right after they accelerated at the same speed.
The ancient G.o.d of Wind had the fastest speed among all. A storm would be stirred up whenever he moved, destroying everything in his path. As a result, every building that he pa.s.sed by was utterly demolished, killing all the cultivators who were taking shelter inside in the process.
After accelerating his speed to the limits, he traversed the city in a flash, forming a creva.s.se in the middle of it.
Following that, a bolt of lightning was closing in on him from behind at a breakneck speed. It looked like a beam of light that traveled across the s.p.a.ce and aimed directly at him.
“Hmm?” The G.o.d of Wind knitted his brows together when he noticed someone was hot on his heels. With a thought, he created devastating wind blades with his Divine Power and turned them into a tornado that tore open the void. Immediately, the calamitous cyclone rushed toward that light, turning everything in its path into clouds of dust.
That light figure headed into the twister since they could not evade it while moving at such speed. Everything happened within a short moment that was faster than the speed of lightning.
Whizz! That light figure pa.s.sed through the cyclone and came out from the other side, flying toward the G.o.d of Wind. At the sight of it, the expression of the latter turned glum and transformed himself into an intangible wind current, further increasing his moving speed.
Just then, a glaring light that covered a large extent of the boundless s.p.a.ce radiated the atmosphere before it. The light pierced through everything it touched. A groan could be heard after a while, and the light immediately launched itself in the direction of the sound.
In the direction where the Divine Light beamed, someone let out a shriek of agony. Immediately after, the G.o.d of Wind showed himself. However, the silhouette of his gallant form was pierced through by countless rays of light, filling his body with innumerable holes of light.
The glaring light gleamed across a vast distance, br.i.m.m.i.n.g the void with its brightness. Next, his body was crumbled into uncountable pieces and gradually receded from view. While a disembodied phantom attempted to flee from the scene, the light figure shot a light beam at the former to finish it off, giving no chance to any of its remnants to survive.
After a while, the silhouette of Chen Yi appeared in that place. Turning his eyes in another direction, he dashed forward to another destination.
Long ago, he had received the inheritance of the Bright Temple, and his perseverance in cultivation finally made him a genuine G.o.d of Light.
