The Legend of Futian Chapter 2452 - Attack

Chapter 2452: Attack

After this blow landed, the cultivators who had been closing in on Ye Futian were knocked even farther back. Some cultivator who had survived the Divine Tribulation of the Great Path was retreating due to the injuries he received. When the Gate of World Suppression blasted towards him, he spat out a mouthful of blood. It was as if all his internal organs had been greatly impacted.
Terrible rumbling sounds emerged as infinite runes surrounded heaven and earth; its coercion was overwhelming. Ye Futian looked in a direction and saw that the cultivator from before with the Heavenly Eye now wanted to get a piece of him.
Shenjia the Great Emperor raised his arm, and immediately, the infinite runes gathered together. Each rune was a character that spelled out “sword,” and they surrounded the divine body. An aura of Path Obliteration permeated the entire area.
Then, Ye Futian pointed in the direction of the man. In an instant, the infinite runes rolled forward and submerged the space. A divine sword appeared to pierce through heaven and the earth.
As soon as the man felt that something was amiss, his body flew into rapid retreat at an unimaginable speed. At the same time, the Heavenly Eye in his brow chakra shot out at Ye Futian again. However, this time, the skyful of runes swept at him directly, forcing the divine light from the Heavenly Eye to flow back from where it came. That sword strike ignored the distance as it locked onto its opponent and chased him into the far distance.
The cultivator with the Heavenly Eye knew that there was nowhere for him to run. As he let out a mighty shout, the divine light in the Heavenly Eye was released to the extreme, and he threw the divine halberd in his hand forward again. A beam of light seemed to penetrate through heaven and earth, just like before, and the two attacks collided again.
But this time, the strike that Ye Futian unleashed seemed to be far stronger than before. The destructive runes directly flooded the space and pushed towards him. This time, everything was destroyed, and the divine light that bloomed from the Heavenly Eye was also retreating.
His body retreated like a stream of light. It was not because he took the initiative to move back but that he was being pushed back by that terrifying force. He let out an angry roar. The divine light from the Heavenly Eye submerged the runes of swordsmanship in the front. It almost succeeded in blocking the momentum of the attack.
Boom… There was a terrifying sound, and a storm of destruction raged in the space. His body was still moving in retreat, but he was somewhat relieved to see that the attack in front of him had gradually weakened. It seemed that he was still able to intercept this blow.
“Watch out!” someone exclaimed from a distance. Ye Futian’s heart skipped a beat when he heard it. Then, he saw a golden divine light directly shooting at him from the front. He could hardly see what it was. As the light was getting closer, it descended instantly in front of him, overlapping with the attacking divine sword as the two became one.
Buzz… The light penetrated without much resistance, piercing through the light beam from the Heavenly Eye. He felt a sharp pain in his brow chakra, and a figure appeared in front of him. It was the divine body of Shenjia the Great Emperor. He placed his finger right on the Heavenly Eye of his brow chakra. At this moment, his eyes were filled with fear.
“No!” As he squeezed out this last protest, his body was shattered. His soul and spirit were scattered and then destroyed. An existence who had survived the Divine Tribulation of the Great Path was killed right on the spot. All of this seemed like an uncanny instance of déjà vu, reminiscent of when Great Elder of Motian had been killed. Both had been pierced by a simple sword strike and had perished.
This place was quite far from the previous battlefield, but spatial distance was nothing to cultivators of this level. After witnessing the fall of the cultivator with the Heavenly Eye, the others trembled fiercely. They seemed to have underestimated the prowess of Ye Futian. The Sleeping Arhat could not Influence his combat effectiveness, neither could the Heavenly Eye when it came to restraining him.
It had not been long since the fighting started, and there were already heavy casualties.
Ye Futian turned his head and looked at them with chilling eyes. “Whoever keeps on chasing us will not be spared!” he said menacingly.
When his voice faded, he took Hua Jieyu into a stream of light and continued moving ahead without killing any other cultivators. Although he was the one who started the killing spree, it was not his objective. Right now, he wanted to leave and get out of this mess as soon as possible.
A sustained fight would take more time. For him, it meant an increased degree of danger, which he was not willing to risk. Naturally, he wanted to leave as quickly as he possibly could.
Those cultivators did not continue to pursue him after he left. Obviously, the short battle they were engaged in gave them a much clearer idea of Ye Futian’s combat effectiveness. With the help of the divine body, prolonged engagement in battle would only spell their own deaths, even if they joined their power.
Ye Futian didn’t kill them because he didn’t have time. Also, he was worried about the arrival of more powerful individuals. Because of this, he was in a hurry to leave.
“What should we do?” a cultivator asked at this time. They gave chase here and had been slaughtered by Ye Futian. Now, they had allowed him to leave, so they could not possibly reveal their failed attempt if he were to reemerge.
They had lost a cultivator who had survived the Divine Tribulation of the Great Path, as well as many top Renhuang. The loss they suffered was not easily ignored.
“What can we do?” asked someone.
Another person replied, “We lack in strength, so what can we do? All we can do is go back and admit guilt, but it won’t be that easy for him to just walk away either.”
“Mmm.” The person next to him nodded in agreement. Although Saint Zhenchan would not make a move himself, top-level cultivators were already on the way. Ye Futian had slaughtered so many cultivators from Zhenchan Temple; it would be unrealistic to think that he could get away unscathed.
Never mind that Ye Futian was still inside the territory of the Six Desires Heaven, even if he managed to escape from Six Desires Heaven somehow, he would be mistaken to think that would be the end of the matter.
“Let’s go back,” another person said. Everyone turned around to levitate into the sky. However, they appeared rather beaten, as this defeat made them feel rather frustrated. They had come with such a powerful group and thought that they had Ye Futian well in hand. But they would now return with such a heavy loss and without their intended subject, it was all very discouraging.
People at this level always thought highly of themselves. After all, they were already at the top of the cultivational world, but this world had been turned upside down by a youngster.
After they left, many people came to the battlefield here. A lot of them were shocked. They had all witnessed the terrifying battle that took place in the void and gathered that it must be the person that Saint Zhenchan had issued a kill order, but they could never suspect the person was this powerful.
The storm that Ye Futian caused in Six Desires Heaven was indeed terrifying, and it had thrown things into disarray. First, he killed the Great Elder of Motian and then caused the destruction of Six Desires Heavenly Palace and the deaths of Lord Six Desires and Lord Initial Zen. Now Zhenchan Temple had ordered a thorough search of the entire Six Desires Heaven to pursue him until he was apprehended.
It was not an exaggeration to say that he had managed to shock the entire Six Desires Heaven all on his own.
But Ye Futian didn’t think so much about all that at the moment. He was still en route in his escape. Although he had killed many cultivators, he did not dare to be careless, moving fast in the direction away from Six Desires Heaven. Right now, he was still in the territory under Saint Zhenchan’s control, and it was imperative for him to leave as soon as possible.
He didn’t feel great. On the contrary, he had a sickening premonition. The prior interception of those cultivators meant that they still had a way to locate him. If someone else at the Lord level arrived, he would be in imminent danger.
Although he had become even more adept at controlling the divine body, it was still a tall order for him to fight against a top cultivator at the Lord level. Once he was intercepted by someone at this level, it would become a matter of life and death!
