The Legend of Futian Chapter 2648: Return From Despair

Chapter 2648: Return From Despair

The Ziwei Segmentum was once again enveloped by starlight. Ye Futian stood beneath the vast starlight and seemingly became one with the Ziwei Segmentum.
From the Outer Realms, a mighty army had arrived. They were none other than the cultivators from the Divine Prefecture.
Wang Xiao, now Tianyan the Great, appeared in front of the army. He was surrounded by divine light, and his God's might was overbearing. His eyes flashed with golden divine light as he looked down at everything around him. Behind him were cultivators from the few major Ancient God Clans. All of them were under his command now.
This time, they would surely eradicate the Ziwei Segmentum.
The cultivators arrived at the outer region of the Ziwei Segmentum. After a few years, they came again. In the past, their armies were defeated here, and they were forced to retreat. Ye Futian shocked everyone in the Divine Prefecture with his ever-growing ability. His status back then had already posed a threat to the Ancient God Clans.
Now, Tianyan the Great had returned. He would take care of their worries. They would plunder everything in the Ziwei Segmentum.
Tianyan the Great stopped outside the segmentum. He lowered his head and looked down. His figure was surrounded by God's might, and he was peerless. He took a step forward, and his figure grew larger, transforming into a 100-Zhang-tall god. Sky Tremor, which he wielded, similarly grew larger, and it emanated shocking God's might. The power demonstrated by Sky Tremor now was not at all on the same level as that when the real Wang Xiao wielded it before.
Tianyan the Great, who had transformed into a god, lowered his head and looked over the Ziwei Segmentum. Terrifying flames burned in his gigantic eyes. It was as though two beams of frightening light were directly emitted on the light screen protecting the segmentum. The light screen was on the verge of being penetrated with just his gaze.
The cultivators who stood behind Tianyan the Great felt their hearts tremble in fear. The might of an actual emperor was beyond their imagination.
No wonder the gap to becoming a Great Emperor was so tough that countless cultivators failed to break through it. If they did, they would become a god, an immortal existence.
Even though the current Tianyan the Great paled into insignificance compared to his former self, he was still a Great Emperor who managed to return to the world with the flesh of Wang Xiao. His ability was powerful, and it was not something other cultivators could fathom. Even near-deity figures were like ants before him.
Only real Great Emperors could suppress him now.
In the Ziwei Segmentum, Ye Futian also saw the figure of Tianyan the Great. The 100-Zhang-tall figure of the god was extremely majestic, like a deity whose order was irresistible. He looked down on the segmentum with a gaze of disdain. The divine light emanating from the eyes of Tianyan the Great was enough to kill Ye Futian.
This scene caused Ye Futian to feel somewhat helpless. Could the Ziwei Segmentum resist the other party?
"Why do you put yourself through such a futile struggle? I come from the ancient age, and I have no intention of committing a massacre here," Tianyan the Great said plainly. "You should remove the seal voluntarily and embrace your death. That will spare everyone in the Ziwei Segmentum." His tone was scornful.
Tianyan the Great suggested that Ye Futian should give up resisting. The latter should remove the seal and willingly be killed.
Clearly, Tianyan the Great had set his mind on killing Ye Futian. He did not lie to the latter either. He was too prideful even to bother deceiving Ye Futian.
Ye Futian was but an ant to him. Even with Ye Futian's extraordinary talent, he was but an ant when faced with the Great Emperor. He did not amount to anything.
Ye Futian's emotions were stirred. Tianyan the Great asked him to embrace his death?
Such was the mentality of a Great Emperor. The other Great Emperors most likely also shared a similar way of thinking. They wouldn't take all the Proud Sons of Heaven seriously. For the Great Emperors, those talented youths were but ants.
However, Ye Futian would never accept his death willingly without trying to resist first!
Ye Futian shut his eyes tightly. His body turned ethereal as he transformed into an illusory figure. A terrifying aura permeated the starry sky of the Ziwei Segmentum as countless stars lit up at the same time. Ye Futian's illusory figures appeared on every single star. A menacing aura burst forth.
In the heavens above, Tianyan the Great, who had transformed into a god, stared at the scene below with a cold expression. He scanned the Ziwei Segmentum with a look of disdain as he scoffed, "You are but a mayfly attempting to topple a tree. You are seeking your death."
As he said this, he raised his Sky Tremor, and a shocking wave gushed forth. The shock waves materialized into Tremoring Pulses that swept towards Ye Futian.
Tianyan the Great swung Sky Tremor downwards. The sky beneath his feet shattered, and everything in the way of the attack turned into dust. Myriads of Tremoring Pulses blasted the protective shield of the Ziwei Segmentum.
A shocking sound reverberated in space as the entire Ziwei Segmentum shook. All the cultivators in the segmentum were appalled. They frantically looked up to the sky. Were they under yet another attack?
The cultivators from Ziwei Imperial Palace also felt their hearts tremble violently. Their bodies were shivering as the ground vibrated. Fortunately, the buildings were very stable. Otherwise, they would have collapsed due to the shock.
"Palace Lord," the cultivators mumbled as they raised their heads and stared at the sky. With a flash, Hua Jieyu charged towards where Ye Futian was. Her eyes glistened with tears.
Despite many years having passed and many things having changed, the other party still refused to let Ye Futian off the hook.
The Great Emperor had come with his imperial arm and intended to eradicate all of them.
The protective shield around the Ziwei Segmentum was shattering. It was as though the sky was collapsing, and everything was on the verge of being reduced to nothingness. The attack of Tianyan the Great could not be stopped at all.
This time, Tianyan the Great bestowed genuine despair on the cultivators of the segmentum.
"Milady," shouted Lord Chen. He had promised Ye Futian that he would escort Hua Jieyu away from here. However, she was also a Two Tribulation level cultivator now. Lord Chen couldn't stop her. She had traveled a long distance and was charging up towards the sky in an instant.
"Let her be," said Gu Dongliu to the side. If the Ziwei Segmentum was truly destroyed and his Little Brother was killed, Hua Jieyu would not choose to live either.
Not long ago, the couple had made a promise to reach the peak of the world of cultivation together. No one had expected that doomsday would befall the Ziwei Segmentum in the blink of an eye. No one could stop Tianyan the Great at all.
An aura of despair loomed over Ziwei Imperial Palace. Aside from hopelessness, everyone felt enraged as they raised their heads to observe the battle in the sky.
"Master," exclaimed Little Ling and the others as they took to the sky.
"Stay put." Lord Chen immediately forged a Starry Domain and sealed off the space. He would not allow the youngsters to die in vain.
"Let us go," shouted Fang Cun as he turned around and glared at Lord Chen. Lord Chen stared at him silently, but he did not do as they wished.
They were the kindling of hope.
Many people in Ziwei Imperial Palace got teary-eyed as they observed the event. Were things truly going to end like this?
This was such a sudden destruction. They were not ready for it at all.
In the heavens above, the god looked down. Ye Futian's aura was unstable, and there was blood oozing out from the corner of his mouth. The protective shield forged with the stars in the Ziwei Segmentum was shattered. It could not withstand even a hit and was directly smashed into pieces by the imperial arm of Tianyan the Great.
Tianyan the Great had personally come. He was on a totally different level than Wang Xiao.
The members of the Ancient God Clans, who were behind Tianyan the Great, observed everything from high above. They were delighted. Without the protective barrier of Ziwei, Ye Futian had no chance of survival.
Today, the Ziwei Segmentum was doomed to be destroyed. Ye Futian was destined to die here too.
Finally, everything was about to come to an end.
However, Tianyan the Great was not in a hurry to kill Ye Futian. As he stood high and mighty like a god, he looked down at the figure of the latter. Tianyan the Great appeared majestic and superior. He was God.
He had heard rumors about Ye Futian owning many imperial-level items. He might not have a use for those items, but they would surely come in handy for the Wang family.
"Come and embrace your death," ordered Tianyan the Great as he looked down on Ye Futian. He said, "This is your last chance. You should be honored to be killed by me personally."
So he would die in the hands of Tianyan the Great?
Ye Futian felt powerless and despair. He closed his eyes and communicated with the will of Great Emperor Ziwei. He seemed to no longer be himself. His spiritual soul merged with the stars, and he unleashed his power of the Great Path to his maximum. He resonated with the stars and became one with them.
Ye Futian was no longer himself. Instead, he was part of the starry sky.
A gigantic phantasm appeared. It was none other than the illusory figure of Great Emperor Ziwei.
He was dissatisfied!
"Humph!"
Tianyan the Great looked down with a look of condescension. Even now, the other party did not know their strength and was stubbornly persisting.
"Since you are so ignorant about your current situation, I will send you to your death," said Tianyan the Great. "Be destroyed together with this starry sky."
As he said this, a beam of light that was even more brilliant than before shone in the vast space. A destructive Tremoring Pulse swept down. He raised Sky Tremor in his hand once more. The god lifted his divine hammer, intending to destroy Ziwei.
Ye Futian made a wish, "Years ago, the will of the Great Emperor awakened and helped me break the seal on the imperial arm and destroyed the Heaven Tempering Divine Matrix. Now, will the Great Emperor awaken to protect the Ziwei Segmentum from being destroyed?" A consciousness enveloped the various stars. The next moment, the destructive Tremoring Pulses from Sky Tremor, as well as the world-destroying divine light, came crashing down. It was even more terrifying than the previous attack.
Unparalleled destructive power rained down. Everyone in Ziwei Imperial Palace fell into despair.
Right then, an even more dazzling divine halo lit up in the starry sky. It was as though all the stars were shining.
"Alright!" answered a voice from the void.
Then, there was a terrifying sound. The Tremoring Pulses that could destroy everything crashed onto the defenses of the Ziwei Segmentum. This time, it did not shatter the defensive light shroud. The destructive God's might slammed down as though it was about to destroy the entire segmentum. However, it was blocked. Many cracks appeared on the light shroud, but the destructive divine light could not penetrate it. It merely kept attacking as its might gradually faded. Finally, the divine light was shattered and dissipated on the surface of the light shroud.
Huh?
Tianyan the Great and the various cultivators were stunned at this scene. The light shroud wasn't destroyed?
Whose voice was that just now?
Amidst the destructive attacks, they heard a voice utter a single word. Who was this voice responding to?
They were not the only ones who heard it. At this moment, all living beings in the Ziwei Segmentum heard this word.
Ye Futian naturally also heard it.
The various stars shone brighter and brighter. Their light was scorching. An unparalleled God's might emanated from the various stars in the sky. In the heavens above, an illusory figure appeared in the vast starry sky. It was an ethereal and domineering figure of a god.
His long hair fluttered in the wind. It was as though his entire figure was formed from the stars.
"It is the Great Emperor!"
"The Great Emperor has returned."
"Great Emperor Ziwei has returned."
When the entire Ziwei Segmentum saw this dazzling and miraculous scene, many members actually could not help but kneel on the ground. Tears of joy flowed down their faces. They had thought that the Ziwei Segmentum would once again face another fatal catastrophe.
They never imagined that after Tianyan the Great was reborn, the Ziwei Segmentum would be in peril. The former wanted to destroy them.
However, at this very moment, Great Emperor Ziwei had returned.
It was Great Emperor Ziwei! Everyone in Ziwei Imperial Palace felt their hearts throbbing as they gazed in awe at the scene in the sky above.
Great Emperor Ziwei had returned!
