The Legend of Futian

Chapter 2543 - Why So Confident?



Chapter 2543: Why So Confident?

It didn’t take long for the other battle to be over as well. With the joint efforts of Emperor Xi and the Millet Emperor, they finished off another Tribulation Plane cultivator in the Holy Land of Taichu.

At this point, the Holy Land of Taichu had lost two more existences in the Tribulation Plane.

The Holy Land of Taichu used to have four great Tribulation Plane cultivators, but one was killed by Ye Futian. Today, they had lost two more, and only Taichu Saint Emperor was left. The once prosperous Holy Land of Taichu seemed doom to destruction. What they saw now stirred up great emotions in those who were still alive in the Holy Land of Taichu, as well as the outsiders who were watching.

Could all this be real?

Would the preaching holy land of Taichu Domain perish on this day?

Now, there was only one battle remaining, the ultimate battlefield where Taichu Saint Emperor was fighting at the moment. This battlefield was high above the sky, shrouded by the domain of the Great Path. It was a battle taking place within bounds, so those on the outside could only feel its supremely terrifying fluctuation but could not see anything that happened inside and had no idea the details of the actual fighting.

It seemed that Taichu Saint Emperor was trying to protect the Holy Land of Taichu from being destroyed by the battle; therefore, he chose to engage the battle high up above the sky.

This ultimate battle was also the most critical battle. As long as Taichu Saint Emperor could manage to kill his opponents, the situation could still be reversed if he could eliminate all those who invaded.

Could Taichu Saint Emperor save the entire Holy Land of Taichu?

Countless cultivators in the Holy Land of Taichu were hoping for exactly that, and the same with those who were outside of the Holy Land of Taichu.

This was their last hope.

High above the sky, inside the bounds, there were more than just the two of them at this moment. In addition to Taichu Saint Emperor and Lord Chen, there was also a third person standing within the bounds of the battlefield with them. He was standing in the area behind Lord Chen as if he was a mere spectator, as his long white robe fluttered in the wind. Who else could this be but Ye Futian?

Two top cultivators, both of whom had survived the second Divine Tribulation of the Great Path, were fighting here, and he dared to enter the bounds of such a battle and observe it.

Inside of the battlefield was shrouded by an invisible aura containing a mighty destructive power. This aura was somewhat tumultuous, akin to the aura when the universe was first created and gave out a sense of supreme transcendence.

Behind Taichu Saint Emperor, a gigantic pattern of the Yin Yang Eight Trigrams appeared. This pattern rotated slowly as countless divine lights began shooting out from it.

Lord Chen’s expression was quite solemn, holding the starry scepter in his hands. In this tumultuous atmosphere, stars populated the sky. The starry divine light fell on Lord Chen and became one with him so that the starlight became ever more brilliant and illuminated this space of chaos.

Taichu Saint Emperor was indeed very strong. He had cultivated for more years than anyone could remember. Thousands of years ago, his talent was considered outstanding but not top-notch. However, by chance, he had gotten an excellent opportunity to cultivate the True Will of Taichu, thus creating the Holy Land of Taichu. He became Taichu Saint Emperor, who preached in Taichu Domain and was well-respected by all.

Later, as his cultivation deepened, along with the increase of his strength, his ambitions grew greater, wanting to preach to the entire world. He wanted to impact that last and final realm to seek a breakthrough to the realm to prove the methods of the Great Emperor. Therefore, when the gate to the Original Realm opened, he dispatched a group of people to preach in the Original Realm and took that first step forward.

Later, in subsequent conflicts with the Original Realm, the Holy Land of Taichu was repeatedly frustrated. When the Swordmaster of Taichu was slain, Taichu Saint Emperor was forced to travel to the Lower Worlds and handle the matter personally. Still, he was driven out by the teacher from Four Corner Village unexpectedly. This series of events gave him an even stronger desire to ascend to the Imperial Realm.

However, before this day could arrive, Ye Futian had already grown to this level of strength, leading the cultivators from Ziwei Imperial Palace to attack here. He wanted to destroy the Holy Land of Taichu and kill Taichu Saint Emperor on his territory.

Taichu Saint Emperor looked at the two of them with a decidedly chilling gaze. Then, with a wave of his hand, the Yin Yang Eight Trigrams behind him started to absorb the essence of heaven and earth. Instantly, that Yin Yang Eight Trigrams rotated and expanded until they merged into this space. The whole world they were in seemed to be transformed into this pattern of the Yin Yang Eight Trigrams.

In this realm, countless smaller patterns of the Yin Yang Eight Trigrams appeared, from which an aura of destruction permeated.

“After you die, I will destroy Ziwei!” Taichu Saint Emperor announced as he looked at Ye Futian and Lord Chen. As soon as he said that, his palms pressed downward, and countless thunder shot out from those Yin Yang Eight Trigrams with all the power of divine retribution to destroy all existence.

This force had surpassed the ordinary Great Path of Thunder. It was like the primordial force when the world was first created, with the True Will of Taichu hidden within the thunder. Many stars began to show cracks, then exploded. Lord Chen had a grave expression on his face as he extended his scepter. Suddenly an unparalleled Imperial glory dazzled and shrouded the stars in the heavens, making them immortal so that despite the blasting from the thunder, they were unmoved.

Taichu Saint Emperor’s expression remained unchanged. Divine swords manifested from these Yin Yang Eight Trigrams, as if they were the Divine Swords of Taichu, with awesome power. Millions of them now dropped down at the same time, intending to immolate this corner of the sky.

Ye Futian appeared next to Lord Chen. This kind of devastating attack was extremely threatening.

Countless divine swords flooded this entire world, and those Taichu Divine Swords pierced on the stars, causing cracks to appear on them, demonstrating just how terrifying was their attack.

At this moment, all the stars in the heavens now lit up with the starry divine light at the same time. These infinite starry divine light shone upon Lord Chen and turned into the Immortal Stars. He proceeded to walk forward in the direction of the Taichu Saint Emperor.

Boom, boom, boom… Those divine swords kept blasting on those stars but failed to break through those Immortal Stars. Taichu Saint Emperor’s expression was cold and domineering as all the divine light from the heavens now gathered upon him. Both of his fists blasted forward, his fist aurora penetrated heaven and earth, punching through the void like the fists of the gods.

More violent roaring sounds were heard and made it impossible for Lord Chen to move forward. Cracks began to show on the Immortal Stars, but Lord Chen still held on to the scepter. All the stars in the heavens revolved around him as the center, and as he waved the scepter in his hand, suddenly, all the stars blasted in the direction of Taichu Saint Emperor.

The attacks of the two collided directly, and the resulting force was astounding. The Great Path boomed and roared as if the entire world they were in was on the verge of collapse and destruction; the sight was beyond horrifying.

Ye Futian was protected by the Immortal Stars, still being guarded by Lord Chen. He did not directly participate in the battle, as if he was just watching this earth-shattering battle on the sideline.

Infinite stars attacked without ceasing but could not shake Taichu Saint Emperor, whose infinite divine sword and divine fist possessed extremely terrifying power.

Boom! A boundless heavy force manifested as heaven and earth suddenly became leaden. Infinite starry divine light gathered together as the scepter in Lord Chen’s hand seemed to merge into the starlight and turned into a Starry Divine Sword.

Emperor Chen looked on with a chilling expression on his face. Taichu divine light that was projected from the Yin Yang Eight Trigrams above the sky gathered together, as infinite thunder, lightning, and sword will gathered to turn into a real Thunder Sword of Tribulation. This was a purple divine sword that contained the True Will of Taichu, which illuminated the entire space. It was full of unparalleled destructive power.

In the midst of the turbulent waves of destruction, the Starry Divine Sword and the Purple divine Sword met and collided. In an instant, the entire space seemed to be torn apart, as the infinite Great Path of divine might flowed into both of their bodies, then surged into the swords they weld, as they swung their weapons at each other for the kill.

Ye Futian, as he watched the battle, was forced to acknowledge the fact that Taichu Saint Emperor, who had dominated the Taichu Domain for countless years, was indeed much stronger than Lord Chen. If it weren’t for Lord Chen’s use of the scepter, he might have been overpowered already.

Moreover, Taichu Saint Emperor was extremely confident in his own attack that he did not resort to divine arms. Perhaps in his realm, other than imperial arms, any other divine implement no longer had any significance to him. His Taichu Force alone was more powerful than any divine arms or weaponry of any kind.

Even the eyes of Taichu Saint Emperor had turned into a purple color as the divine light shot at his opponent. Lord Chen’s eyes collided with his opponent’s as if both of them were releasing their utmost strength in the hopes of destroying the other.

Psst, psst… A sharp sound came out, and the two divine swords collided and shattered at the same time, but both men were still moving towards each other. Terrible, destructive power raged within their bodies, but neither took a step back.

Buzz! The starry divine light around Lord Chen turned into a star and continued to rush forward. Taichu Saint Emperor morphed into a god of war. While his body was expanding, both of his fists blasted out at the same time and banged on that massive star.

The terrifying power swept everything in its vicinity. Ye Futian appeared in the distance but still did not take action, merely watching the battle. He thought that this battle was an excellent trial for Lord Chen because the confrontations between top cultivators were very rare. He had never witnessed a battle of this caliber.

The two of them attacked and collided again and again, and their aura became unsteady and shallow as both of them were subjected to powerful attacks. Gradually, they started taking on injuries.

But neither gave up and still engaged in the crazy and violent battle, wanting to obliterate the other.

Finally, another attack came down as countless stars crushing the void to blast towards Taichu Saint Emperor again. At the same time, the infinite Thunder Divine Sword came down to slay Lord Chen. They did not use the weapon on each other but used themselves to attack their opponent.

Rumble… Both Taichu Saint Emperor and Lord Chen suffered violent attacks from the other. When the dust settled, it was obvious that both of their auras were fairly shallow, as they had weakened considerably, and both suffered severe injuries.

Continuing to fight would only spell doom to them both.

“It’s time for this to be over,” Ye Futian said to himself. He looked at Taichu Saint Emperor and asked, “Do you have any last words?”

Taichu Saint Emperor had been dominating Taichu Domain for many years. The death of such a remarkable character would be mourned, even by his opponents. Before he died, Ye Futian wondered if there was anything he wanted to say.

“Last words?”

Taichu Saint Emperor glanced at Ye Futian and said coldly, “Where did you get that kind of confidence?”

As soon as he spoke, Taichu Divine Swords slammed down toward Ye Futian. If it had not been for Lord Chen’s protection, he would have already attacked Ye Futian.

However, just when the attack came down, there were wisps of powerful aura that surrounded Ye Futian. With him as the center, this space seemed to be under his absolute control, and the space seemed to enter into a state of stasis. Taichu Divine Swords were not able to slam down on him.

What he saw stunned Taichu Saint Emperor, and he, too, felt the transformation of Ye Futian’s aura. It carried the momentum of a cultivator in the Tribulation Plane and was even stronger than cultivators who had survived the first Divine Tribulation of the Great Path.

“He did kill Zhong Miao under his power without resorting to outside objects or forces.” Taichu Saint Emperor remembered this, and his heart trembled. Ye Futian’s strength was enough to slay someone who had survived the first Divine Tribulation of the Great Path!
