The Legend of Futian - Chapter 346
Chapter 346: I Have a Question for You
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
“This…” Ye Futian strolled casually on the road as if the Demon Birds from the walls had no effect on him. They rushed towards him but his white robe fluttered, his black hair flying. Noble intent bloomed from him and his entire body seemed to be shrouded in sacred light. The evil couldn’t hurt him.
Everyone was shocked. How powerful was Ye Futian’s will? Was it because he had a low plane so he wasn’t as heavily affected? But no matter what, Ye Futian’s powerful walk destroyed all suspicions earlier. Yi Xiaoshi and the Sword Saint Mountain disciples left him behind because they had absolute trust in him.
They really were crazy. They trusted Ye Futian before he’d even tried.
Qi Ao and the disciples of the Fuyun Sword Clan had already descended on the other side after transforming into sword light. Seeing Ye Futian’s actions, Qi Ao’s expression grew ugly. This was a slap to him.
“He isn’t in the Arcana Plane yet. He must’ve benefited from his low plane,” someone nearby said after seeing Qi Ao’s change of expression.
Chu Yaoyao looked at Ye Futian from the Moon Clan group. She walked forward.
“Virgin,” someone called.
“I want to try.” Dazzling light enveloped her. Her body flashed and countless copies of her appeared. They were destroyed by the Demon Birds but Chu Yaoyao continued forward. Like a fairy, her movements were like a dance, leading people to gasp.
First, there was Hua Qingqing. Now, there was Chu Yaoyao. The top three beauties of the Eastern Barren Territory were not only amazing in their looks.
People behind them started trying too, working together. More and more strong cultivators passed it. Very rarely did anyone die. The people from before had rushed too much, causing them to get killed.
On the road, the people of the Qianqiu Temple and Witch Clan had already set off again.
Qin Li watched Ye Futian walk over with a cold glint in his eyes. He waited for Chu Yaoyao and asked, “Yaoyao, are you alright?”
“Yes.” She nodded lightly.
“Come with me?” Qin Li asked.
“I’ll wait for my sisters. You can go first.” Chu Yaoyao’s voice was gentle and her moving eyes made people want to protect her.
“Okay.” Qin Li nodded. The Qin Dynasty and Donghua Clan continued forward soon after.
Ye Futian’s group also started walking. Forces such as the Fuyun Sword Clan and Royal Xuan Temple were nearby. Many people came gradually after them. Seeing these figures, they felt that the road ahead wouldn’t be peaceful. The two parties had declared war. Liu Chenyu, Liu Feiyang, Ye Wuchen, and the Qin Dynasty were true enemies. The rivalry between the College and Qin Dynasty; between the Cottage, Sword Saint Mountain, and Fuyun Sword Clan; between the Cottage and Royal Xuan Temple…
It was shocking they could bear it for this long.
The mountain road grew steeper. Everyone gradually entered the belly of Sky Mountain. Snow was everywhere, dancing in the sky. They couldn’t see outside the mountain anymore. They looked up at the soaring peak and could only keep walking. No one knew how long it would take.
The snow grew heavier. Everyone was covered in a layer of white. Some would use fire Spiritual Qi to melt the snow on them but they started feeling cold. In addition, the evil feeling grew stronger too. It seemed to seep from the mountain and influenced them from everywhere.
The Black Wind Eagle followed close to Ye Futian. Its claws dug into the ground; its eyes glowed red while it hung its head. Ye Futian planted a mark in its mind with a shred of emperor’s intent. This chased away its fear so it could keep going.
Gradually, more and more people started giving up. They felt that if they continued, they would be completely controlled by the evil feeling, becoming its puppet. Those who continued had extremely strong wills. They followed the strong cultivators of each top force. If anything happened, these top cultivators could buffer the attack. They could also learn a lot from them.
The days passed. They had already walked for seven days and had no clue where they were. The strong cultivators at the foot of the mountain were still there. People constantly gave up and went back down.
People were everywhere in the white snow. Almost half of the strong cultivators of the Eastern Barren Territory were here.
The bell didn’t ring again. Otherwise, they probably couldn’t stay there anymore.
Zhuge Hui stood there, quietly gazing at Sky Mountain.
“Do you think Junior is the person our teacher wants to find?” she whispered. Only the other Cottage disciples could understand.
Gu Dongliu looked at the snowy peaks. The first three disciples were the clearest about the teacher’s goal. However, the goal was too lofty. Despite their talent, they couldn’t do it. It was so lofty that they didn’t even know what step they were at now.
Now, merely the Eastern Barren Territory threatened them.
“I don’t know,” Gu Dongliu whispered. When he’d heard Ye Futian utter that sentence in the Ancient Barren World, he went to the Cangye Kingdom without hesitation.
“I wonder if Junior will gain something on the mountain,” Zhuge Hui said, smiling. The Eastern Barren Territory had the legend about the two emperors. If Ye Futian could accomplish something and the teacher knew, he would be very happy. But where exactly was that old guy hiding? He’d tricked Zhuge Hui here and dumped the entire Cottage on her without teaching her anything. Now he’d escaped to enjoy life alone. That old man!
…
On Sky Mountain, the Black Wind Eagle stopped again. Its legs trembled and the feathers on its wings stood up straight. There were many marks on the walls ahead. There were signs of claw scratches, lightning, and fire. A horrible aura emanated from it all. This was probably where the two emperors had fought with the Demon Bird.
Everyone felt their bodies grow heavy. An invisible force pressed down on them. Black ravens flew between the walls. Their eyes had a deadly aura and occasionally glowed red.
Thud, thud, thud… They could practically hear their own heartbeats grow louder and louder.
“Push it down.” Ye Futian glanced at the Black Wind Eagle. The mark planted in its mind released a powerful might. He saw the Black Wind Eagle’s eyes become demonic, glinting with a bloody light. It was about to go crazy.
“Ah!” A pained cry ripped out. Many hearts trembled and the people looked back. A strong cultivator in the Arcana Plane couldn’t resist the evil intent anymore. His eyes shone with terrible demonic light. His hand had also transformed into a frightening golden dagger that he stabbed into the man beside him.
Blood bloomed in the white snow. Seeing the fresh blood, many people couldn’t control the evil in them either. They screamed as the wild aura exploded. They lost control of themselves. Even those of the top forces started shaking. The evil accumulated in them was too hard to repress. They lost control and started attacking wildly.
Many people charged towards Hua Qingqing, Chu Yaoyao, and Qin Mengruo. The three were the top beauties of the Eastern Barren Territory. They easily attracted evil thoughts. People also went crazily to the fairies of the Moon Clan.
“Kill them,” Qin Li ordered coldly. Instantly, the people of the Qin Dynasty and Donghua Clan started acting. The scene became more chaotic.
Blood flew through the air with the snow, leading to more evil thoughts. Even Liu Feiyang and Liu Chenyu’s eyes turned red as they stared coldly at Qin Li. They hated his guts. This type of negative emotion was easy to be pushed out and affected by the evilness.
Seeing this, Hua Qingqing stepped into the crowd and sat down, legs crossed. Her guqin spirit appeared and she started playing. Seeing her flawless and angelic features, even more people pounced towards her.
Music rang out. It was so wholesome it could almost purify their souls. The world fell quiet; all evil thoughts were eradicated by the music. Those who pounced towards her stopped, struggling in place.
In the front, the Arhat and Qianqiu Temple disciples who’d forged on alone looked back. Those who were pure enough would be unaffected by the evil influence. Hua Qingqing was probably that type of person.
As the soothing music flowed out, much of the redness in people’s eyes were a bit controlled. The fighting continued though. Many people couldn’t completely extract themselves.
Qin Li looked over to Liu Feiyang and Liu Chenyu. Seeing the redness in their eyes, he chuckled. “Want to kill me?”
The murderous intent grew in their eyes.
“Qingqing is kind but it’s better for these failures affected by the evil to kill themselves. Why save them?” Qin Li asked, glancing at Hua Qingqing.
“Evil thoughts are born in those who are evil. No need to save them,” Qi Ao also said.
“I have a question for you.” Ye Futian walked forward. The place was a bit chaotic now. Qin Li was in the direction of the Moon Clan.
“What question?” Qin Li asked with a sneer.
Ye Futian stopped before Qin Li and smiled brightly. “Do people like you never repent? even when facing death?”
Qin Li arched an eyebrow. His eyes sharpened as he stared at Ye Futian. At that time, a wild aura burst from Ye Futian’s body. He transformed into an afterimage that shot forward.
Boom. Qin Li’s aura erupted too. Then he saw a heavy staff that weighed thousands of tons drop from the sky. It swept down everything with the roar of a divine ape and dragon. It was about to split everything apart!
Chapter 347: Go Straight Forward
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Qin Li’s expression changed. A dragon also roared above him. His arm seemed to transform into the arm of a dragon as he blocked the incoming staff. He’d been looking for a chance to kill Ye Futian’s group but didn’t expect that Ye Futian dared to attack him first.
Boom. The staff swung down and there was a huge sound. Qin Li’s entire body shook. The fabric on his arm tore apart and he fell onto one knee. The ground underneath cracked.
Everyone was shocked; no one processed it all. Ye Futian had been talking and smiling earlier but changed as soon as he finished. He wanted to kill Qin Li. How ruthless!
At this moment, terrible dragon scales appeared on Qin Li’s arms. They shone frighteningly; clearly, they were ritual implements. If he didn’t have these protecting his arms, they would probably have broken under Ye Futian’s sudden attack. It was too abrupt and Ye Futian hadn’t held back at all.
Whoosh… Wind whistled as the staff twirled. The air current went wild. Vines spiraled out from Ye Futian, Locking Qin Li’s body.
“Stop.” The people of the Qin Dynasty and Donghua Clan finally processed everything. Their auras immediately flared and they rushed towards Ye Futian. They cast spells simultaneously at Ye Futian.
Ye Futian was still unmoved. Eyes cold, he brought his murderous staff down again. The entire weight of the world seemed to fall onto Qin Li.
Qin Li knew that he’d lost his chance. The most important task now was to save his life. He dazzled brilliantly. His dragon armor transformed into a true dragon that roared. It spiraled above him, protecting him. He raised his arms too for protection.
Boom! There was another huge explosion. Dust flew in the wind as Qin Li was forced into the mountain. A ditch appeared in the mountain. He grunted and spat out blood. Even with the ritual implement protecting him, he was still injured.
Dragons came over murderously. Ye Futian knew he would fail so he retreated after swinging his staff.
“Royal Grandson!” The people of the Qin Dynasty grouped around Qin Li. He felt his body shake inside. Activating a battle technique, his blood rumbled and dragons roared. Then he took a deep breath, calming the tremors inside. He stood up slowly and stared coldly at Ye Futian, eyes full of murderous intent.
“You’re lucky to be alive.” Ye Futian chuckled. His smile was gentle and calm as if nothing had happened.
Everyone was speechless at his smile.
“You won’t be so lucky.” Eyes filled with menacing murder, Qin Li said, “Kill him.”
Strong cultivators of the Qin Dynasty went up, surrounding Ye Futian. Disciples of the College advanced too. No matter what, the College and Cottage were one group. They obviously had to stand together against the Qin Dynasty. Otherwise, the Qin Dynasty would kill them after killing Ye Futian. Many people had already died in the Ancient Barren World.
The people of the Donghua Clan walked up too. Disciples of the Sword Saint Mountain walked towards them.
A huge battle was about to start.
The surrounding people held their breaths. The various forces had already declared war. Were the rivalries finally going to be ignited on Sky Mountain?
Hua Qingqing stopped her music and watched the imminent battle with her pretty eyes.
Chu Yaoyao gazed at Ye Futian. She didn’t know what to think. The Moon Clan obviously wouldn’t get involved.
“This is between the Qin Dynasty and Cottage. What is the Sword Saint Mountain doing?” Qi Ao from the Fuyun Sword Clan said. He looked at the group with sharp eyes.
Du Ming furrowed his sword-like brows. Gazing at Qi Ao, he said, “What is it to you?”
“Shouldn’t the college give us Ye Wuchen, the traitor of the Fuyun Sword Clan?” Qi Ao asked with a smile.
Ye Futian looked coldly at him. Qi Ao obviously knew that he wouldn’t hand Ye Wuchen over. He was just using this as an excuse to enter the battle.
Snow continued falling. The atmosphere was getting tenser.
“Why didn’t you learn anything from when First Senior Brother went to the Fuyun Sword Clan?” Yi Xiaoshi asked.
Ye Futian scanned the crowd. The Royal Xuan Temple was watching menacingly. They didn’t say anything but he was sure that they would act if needed.
The Cottage had a disadvantage in numbers.
Ye Futian rose slowly against the might from Sky Mountain. Wind elemental sorcery gathered around him. Golden roc wings unfurled with Noble Will. Everyone looked at him. What was he doing?
“No need to fight. The problem between Qin Li and I is personal,” Ye Futian suddenly said. Then he shot into the sky and rose up as if he was going to reach the peak. In the sky, Ye Futian was like a Roc, transforming into a bolt of lightning. Many people stared at this scene in shock. Unexpectedly, Ye Futian left everyone here without fighting.
“Want to escape?” Qin Li gazed at the figure in the sky. “Chase him.” As soon as he spoke, people shot into the sky like dragons in flight. They pursued Ye Futian.
“Onto the mountain.” Yi Xiaoshi’s body flashed. Strong cultivators from every force advanced up Sky Mountain, much faster than before.
This imminent battle was cut short because of Ye Futian’s sudden departure.
“Let’s go.” The Fuyun Sword Clan and Sword Saint Mountain started climbing too. Ye Futian crossed an impossible length and landed on a huge boulder. Then he continued forward as if the evil feeling and might didn’t exist.
“Feiyang, take care of Chenyu,” Ye Wuchen said. Then he shot forward like a flash from his sword.
“I’ll take a look,” Chu Yaoyao said and also sped up the mountain.
Ye Futian was galloping down the path. He was so fast, with powerful cultivators of high planes from the Qin Dynasty close behind him. If not for the might from Sky Mountain, they would’ve caught up. After all, he was in a lower plane.
More and more strong cultivators pursued him but he didn’t seem to care. When he’d acted, he had already thought of various scenarios. Noble Fate rose up in him, fighting against the repressive might. Emperor Will was in this too, allowing him to reduce the pressure from the mountain.
The pressure grew. Subtle lightning could be seen amongst the falling snow as if this was a world of lightning. Even the boulders of the mountain glimmered with lightning. Ye Futian stepped into it and felt the powerful Lightning Will press down. It ran through his body but it wasn’t all. The evil feeling strengthened too. His feet walked forward involuntarily.
“You think you can run?” Behind him, Qin Li walked over. There were dragon roars as if he was a dragon. He was covered in dragon armor. The strong cultivators of the Qin Dynasty formed a matrix around him. They stepped into the lightning world together.
Ye Futian ignored them. Since he attacked Qin Li, he hadn’t thought of actually escaping. His only motive for attacking was to kill Qin Li.
Back in the Liu Kingdom, seeing what Qin Yuan did to Liu Chenyu, seeing Liu Chenyu attempt suicide, Ye Wuchen’s helplessness, and Qin Li’s arrogant words, he’d already wanted to kill the man. He was helpless back then though. Emperor Liu wouldn’t kill him, so Ye Futian couldn’t either.
Now, they were in Sky Mountain. The strongest man beside Qin Li was only in the Arcana Plane. The higher they climbed, the more pressure those with high planes would feel. Ye Futian finally had a chance now. Plus, since they were at war, Qin Li would kill him if he didn’t kill the other. He only worried about how to do it now.
Yi Xiaoshi arrived too, as well as some people from the Donghua Clan. People from different forces gradually entered this lightning world. Of course, many people dropped out because they couldn’t take it anymore. Those who entered involuntarily slowed down. Red glowed in some eyes again, even those who were greatly talented.
Chu Yaoyao also entered the lightning. Seeing the lonely backside in the distance, she felt that Ye Futian wasn’t escaping. She saw the determination in his backside.
Ye Wuchen, Yu Sheng, Loulan Xue, and the others started walking here too.
“If you think you can’t take it anymore, don’t force yourself,” Hua Qingqing said to the people around her. She obviously felt the pressure too.
The Qianqiu Temple and Witch Clan were before Ye Futian. At this moment, Gu Biyue stopped. She wanted to give up but saw Ye Futian speed up and overtake her. She couldn’t help but stare and ask, “Are you crazy?”
Ye Futian ignored her and continued past.
Qin Li’s expression grew uglier. His will kept getting corroded. He knew the pressure contained in this space, but Ye Futian kept advancing. Some of the strong cultivators of the Qin Dynasty beside him were unstable already. Their eyes glowed red; their murderous intent intensified.
“We can’t keep dragging it on. Kill him,” Qin Li ordered coldly. His people burst forward towards Ye Futian. Their eyes were bloody; they wanted to kill so badly.
Boom.
Seeing this, Yi Xiaoshi sped up too and actually transformed into a bolt of lightning. He started later but arrived first. He leaped over Qin Li, body turning into a blur. He reached out and his arms actually stretched, curling towards the people going to kill Ye Futian.
“Kill him,” Qin Li uttered coldly. Various Qin Dynasty cultivators stepped out and soared in the sky.
Yi Xiaoshi seemed to have eyes on the back of his head. He kicked backward and his feet actually turned into a golden mountain. It pressed down, radiating with gold light. With a huge boom, it forced the people back.
“Come back.” Yi Xiaoshi waved his arm and dragged the people back like tentacles.
As if he didn’t know about the battle behind him, Ye Futian advanced without looking back.
Qin Li’s expression was ugly. “Take care of him,” he said coldly. Then he brought some people to continue chasing after Ye Futian. The rest surrounded Yi Xiaoshi.
Chapter 348: Time
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Seeing that they wanted to go around him to pursue Ye Futian, Yi Xiaoshi flashed and blocked them. He dazzled radiantly. The next moment, a huge tree grew wildly. He seemed to have become a divine tree that spread in all directions.
Even more frightening, the tree that Yi Xiaoshi turned into wasn’t only green. It also had a terrible golden tint, like a true emperor’s glow.
“Emperor’s Vine.”
Everyone’s eyes flashed as they stared forward. The Emperor’s Vine was known as the emperor amongst trees and had the sturdiest vines. Clearly, the life spirit of the Cottage’s seventh disciple was the Emperor’s Vine and used it to create this dharma.
With this dharma released, all wood and gold Spiritual Qi were devoured.
A wood elemental spell was released while dazzling gold tendrils covered the sun. They sped in the air, going towards the group that wanted to kill Ye Futian. Every vine was like a horrible blade. The strong cultivators of the Qin Dynasty were facing a great enemy. Not daring to underestimate it, they turned around to defend themselves with spells. They didn’t dare to keep chasing Ye Futian.
“That’s right.” Yi Xiaoshi smiled brightly. That moment, countless strong cultivators formed a battle matrix and went straight towards him. Dragons roared from many of them. They stabbed their spears forward, wanting to shatter Yi Xiaoshi’s body.
Whoosh… Endless vines swept forward, transforming into thousands of tentacles that curled towards the people. A golden flower bloomed. The sharp petals spun and expanded like a frightening gold vortex. Horrible dragons roared above the spears with murderous intent. They destroyed everything; the gold petals continuously got shattered. It seemed powerful for the flower to be destroyed but it kept blooming and blooming without end.
The dragon apparitions extinguished and the powerful auras of the Qin Dynasty disappeared. However, the petals were still coming. They exploded into a rain of petals. Every droplet of rain sharpened into sturdy golden blades.
The people sped backward but saw golden vines coming at them from behind, blocking their escape route. They could only force themselves to fight back.
Squelch… A horrible golden tendril pierced someone from the Qin Dynasty. He screamed in pain.
“Retreat, battle matrix!” someone yelled. Sensing danger, they didn’t dare to feel cocky anymore. The seventh disciple of the Cottage wasn’t as famous but he was just as powerful. The Cottage couldn’t be rated with common standards.
“Junior, this is all I can do.” Yi Xiaoshi looked to Ye Futian in the distance. He knew Ye Futian’s plan: use the characteristic of Sky Mountain to kill Qin Li. Beside them, the people of the Fuyun Sword Clan walked over. They glanced at Yi Xiaoshi and continued their pursuit.
More people arrived and continued forward, going in Ye Futian’s direction. Ye Futian gradually slowed down. It became harder as he went. Many people had been left behind now. Those without steadfast wills couldn’t get here at all.
At this point in the lightning world, Ye Futian was at the front. Behind him was Qin Li’s group. The Donghua Clan, Fuyun Sword Clan, and Chu Yaoyao were behind them. After that was the College, Beitang Xing’er, Yu Sheng, and Ye Wuchen.
Everyone was closing in on each other because the people in the front slowed down. Even though the ones behind slowed down as well, it wasn’t as much.
Only around 50 people were following Ye Futian. The rest had been left behind.
“How far can you go?” Qin Li asked coldly, watching Ye Futian get closer. He only had two people with him. The others had either been stopped by Yi Xiaoshi or gave up.
Those with him were extraordinary. They were part of the Qin Dynasty’s royal family and were in even higher planes than him.
Ye Futian suddenly stopped. He turned around to look at Qin Li and smiled. “Since you want to kill me so badly, should we have a duel?”
“Idiot.” Qin Li sneered with mockery. He was stronger than Ye Futian but with such a disadvantage now, why would he fight? He wasn’t a good person. To kill Ye Futian was his only goal.
The people of the Donghua Clan and Fuyun Clan walked up. There were four from the Donghua Clan, with Hua Qingqing in the back. There were also four from the Fuyun Sword Clan—Qi Ao and three other swordsmen. They were all amazing geniuses.
Chu Yaoyao stood in the back, watching this all.
Yu Sheng, Ye Wuchen, Beitang Xing’er, the Black Wind Eagle, Du Ming of the Sword Saint Mountain and two other strong cultivators, and four disciples of the College were behind her.
The Royal Xuan Temple was also there. Both sides were more equal in number now. They were all the best of their forces.
“Die,” Qin Li uttered. As soon as he spoke, people from the Qin Dynasty stepped out on either side. Dragons spiraled above them. All royalty from the Qin Dynasty had dragons as their dharma. That was their totem.
The dragons soared and pounced at Ye Futian, wanting to shred him with their golden claws.
Ye Futian grasped his Five Element Staff. The Divine Ape growled, the dragon roared, and the golden Roc shimmered. His body seemed undefeatable. He stepped forward and all the might in the world gathered on him. He swept his staff across, hitting a dragon. It was a giant golden dragon with a shocking defense that forced Ye Futian back. Then a frost dragon exhaled at him. Iciness filled the sky, covering him.
Ye Futian flew in the air and swept his staff again. Using the momentum, he retreated. The two from the Qin Dynasty were in much higher planes. They chased without stop. Qin Li also followed, wanting to kill Ye Futian.
Boom. Yu Sheng stepped forward and shot into the sky. Ye Wuchen, with his sword, soared like a beam of sword light.
Whoosh…
A beam of sword light cut the snowflakes in the sky, slicing the air. Ye Wuchen came to a stop. His body spun with his sword out. Silver lightning seemed to crack across, splitting at the touch.
Qi Ao appeared before him. Studying Ye Wuchen, he said, “Today, I will take care of things for the Fuyun Sword Clan.”
With that, Qi Ao continued walking. Zhe Song was the swordsman from the first summit but Qi Ao was the strongest of the first summit in Arcana Plane. He was confident in becoming a swordsman of any summit.
He walked before Ye Wuchen and brought out his sword. It danced in the air like silver light, constantly changing and blocking all escape routes.
Ye Wuchen stared forward, his eyes changing. That moment, a sword seemed to appear in Qi Ao’s eyes. As a disciple of the Fuyun Sword Clan, Qi Ao was familiar with what ability the swordsman from the seventh summit had. He activated the Sword Eye.
He ignored the sword light in his eye. Powerful will pushed back the Sword Will. Forgetting the light, he focused on the attack. Ye Wuchen couldn’t threaten him so he didn’t have to care about the Sword Eye.
Ye Wuchen brought his sword down. It was a simple move but seemed to slice the world. It was so powerful that it actually cut down one of Qi Ao’s lines of defense and continued invading.
His plane wasn’t as high as Qi Ao. In order to win, he had to attack. If he defended, he would be dead.
The other swordsmen blocked the cultivators of the Sword Saint Mountain. Swords and broadswords clashed. They seemed to want to end the old rivalry between the two forces.
Another from the Fuyun Sword Clan blocked Yu Sheng.
The College disciples wanted to help Ye Futian but the Donghua Clan appeared to isolate them.
On Qin Li and Ye Futian’s battlefield, Ye Futian kept getting forced back. Qin Li was two levels higher than him, in the Arcana Plane, and there wasn’t much hope for Ye Futian.
Qian Shanmu sat down and started playing his guqin. Music covered the battlefield. Musical sorcery transformed into spiritual attacks that stabbed into the ears of the College and Sword Saint Mountain, affecting their fighting.
Beitang Xing’er looked at Ye Futian. She was worried but she didn’t have a high plane either. She probably wasn’t stronger than Ye Futian so she couldn’t help.
Glancing at Qian Shanmu, she walked over. Stopping in place, she closed her eyes. Invisible spiritual energy shrouded the area.
The spiritual storm converged and landed inside Qian Shanmu’s mind. At that moment, he could only see Beitang Xing’er’s image in his mind.
“Stop,” Beitang Xing’er uttered. It echoed countless times in Qian Shanmu’s mind.
Stop, stop…
The endless echoes were like an invisible storm hitting Qian Shanmu. He flew backward, the music cutting off. He looked up at Beitang Xing’er in shock.
She ignored him and started attacking the others. Soon, another Donghua Clan cultivator was forced back and almost killed by a College disciple.
“Junior Sister.” Qian Shanmu gazed at Hua Qingqing. Many thought Qian Shanmu was the best musical sorcerer of the young generation but he knew Hua Qingqing was stronger in both talent and ability.
Hua Qingqing’s eyes flashed. She walked to Beitang Xing’er.
They stared at each other and formless spiritual energy clashed. Hua Qingqing’s clear eyes held the gaze. Beitang Xing’er began to look worried. Her spiritual energy wasn’t as strong as Hua Qingqing so she couldn’t help anymore.
At that time, Ye Futian was forced back again. He crashed against a boulder and grunted. Blood seeped from his lips.
Qin Li’s trio pressed down.
Ye Futian stood up and turned. He continued racing up the mountain.
“Escaping again?” Qin Li’s expression was frigid. “Just stopping them is enough.”
With that, he brought the other two and continued after Ye Futian. At the front, coldness glinted past Ye Futian’s eyes as he raced. The time was coming!
Chapter 349: Extreme Breakout
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
In the lightning-filled world, the great battle continued. Even the geniuses from various top forces were under extreme pressure, and it was not just from the battle itself.
Ye Futian slowly disappeared in the distance. Qin Li and the two Upper Arcana Plane cultivators from Qin Dynasty were chasing him.
The mountain path was very rugged. Ye Futian did not look behind him and kept advancing forward. In front of him, the lightning-filled world seemed to be turning into an icy one, where ice storms were raging. Before he even reached, he already began to shiver.
The snowflakes falling from the sky condensed into frost and turned into part of the icy world on Sky Mountain. Ye Futian stepped into it and could only feel extremely cold. It was as if he was covered in snow and ice and coldness seeped into his bones continuously.
Apart from being cold, evil thoughts also intensified and were mixed with the freezing coldness. Various negative emotions flashed across the eyes of Qin Li and the other two cultivators. A frightening murderous intent was released from them as they stared at Ye Futian’s back with a bloodthirsty look.
Before them, they could vaguely see the Arhat of Qianqiu Temple and Warlock Gu Zhiqiu of Witch Clan. The two advanced forward without any distractions and only had one goal—to reach the top of Sky Mountain. Their clan-mates were all left behind as they did not have the ability to follow them.
Suddenly, Ye Futian changed his path and walked towards the side.
Qin Li’s body was fully covered with a piece of dragon armor. Stepping on the snow, he continued the chase.
The four people walked in the snow and climbed a huge rock, after which they arrived on a flat piece of land. In the distance, there was only a cliff, and it seemed likely that they had nowhere else to go.
Ye Futian finally stopped. Cold wind was blowing, and his white shirt was covered with snow. In the strong wind, he looked somewhat bleak.
“Where can you run now?” Qin Li’s eyes were filled with a terrifying red light. Just now, Ye Futian forced him to kneel down with his rod, which was very humiliating. The murderous intent Qin Li had towards Ye Futian at the moment surpassed everything else. His negative emotions were ignited totally and he only wanted Ye Futian to die.
“Now, there should be no one else here to disturb us,” Ye Futian said with his back facing Qin Li. Qin Li’s eyes sparkled. What did Ye Futian mean?
No one else will disturb us?
In the first place, there were not many who could reach this place. Moreover, a battle had erupted below them, so there should indeed be no one else here.
“Do you think this is a good place to bury your corpse?” Ye Futian turned around slowly and stared at Qin Li. At this instant, his eyes seemed to contain a supreme trace of dignity. The blood in Ye Futian’s body started to roar and roll. A golden divine flame seemed to be burning in his blood. From his body, many brilliant traces of light spread out.
Boom! Noble Will charged into the air and it even seemed to be slightly golden. At this moment, Ye Futian had evolved. His blood, muscles, and fate were all becoming stronger at a remarkable pace. The Spiritual Qi around him formed a storm centered at him. Snow flew wildly in the sky. Even the snowflakes seemed to be covered in a sacred radiance.
From his eyes, one could notice a faint golden light glittering. Qin Li looked at Ye Futian’s eyes and actually felt that he was inferior in front of Ye Futian, that he needed to kneel down and pay homage to Ye Futian.
“What’s happening?” Qin Li’s face darkened quickly. Ye Futian’s might was rising rapidly, especially his will. It actually made him want to kneel down and surrender. How ridiculous this was.
Who was Qin Li? He was the grandson of the king of Qin Dynasty, the son of the crown prince. In the future, he would be able to succeed from his father the throne. He was born noble and extraordinary. How many people in the Eastern Barren Territory could make him kneel down and salute? How could a person who had entered the Eastern Barren Territory for merely two years make him develop such a feeling?
It was not just Qin Li. The two beside him were both royal members and descendants of important people in Qin Dynasty. Moreover, they were in the Upper Arcana Plane, which was way higher than Ye Futian’s current level. The difference was almost an entire plane, which obviously could not be made up in any way. However, they also felt that they wanted to worship Ye Futian at the moment.
Ye Futian stared at the three before him. The Emperor Will was still burning and his body seemed to be boiling under this power. He became extremely burly as if he was an emperor who had come to the mortal world.
Since Emperor Will was formed in his body in Donghai City, this was the first time he activated it so thoroughly. In the past, he had used Emperor Will to control various relics and occasionally help him in battles. However, apart from the time when this ability awakened, he had never released it so completely like this time.
He also knew that it was difficult to close the gap between different planes. Qin Li was not part of his consideration, but the two people beside Qin Li were real Upper Arcana Plane cultivators. Both the Arcana Plane and the Dharma Plane were divided into nine levels each. At the moment, Ye Futian was at the peak of Dharma Plane, so the difference between him and Upper Arcana Plane was almost an entire plane. In the world of cultivation, this gap could never be closed. Therefore, Qin Li and the other two were extremely confident that they would certainly be able to kill Ye Futian if they could catch up with him.
Precisely because of this, Ye Futian activated his powers at the moment. Emperor Will in his body started to burn. He stared at Qin Li only with a murderous look.
“Who exactly are you?” Qin Li tried to calm down from shock as he stared firmly at Ye Futian. He did not know what ability Ye Futian had used, but based on Ye Futian’s change at the moment, he was certainly not just a Cottage disciple. However, Qin Li had been to the Nandou Nation. Ye Futian was from such a small nation in the Hundred Lands, so why did he have such temperament? He was like a superior emperor.
“The person who will kill you.” Ye Futian held the Five Element Rod in his hand and his body was covered in an emperor armor. It actually looked more dazzling than the dragon armor Qin Li was wearing.
Ye Futian’s Guqin Spirit appeared behind him. Nobody was playing the Guqin Spirit, but music was coming out from it. The Spiritual Qi in the sky converged on the Guqin Spirit and a trace of Spiritual Will circled around it. Ye Futian was controlling it with his mind.
Meanwhile, the Five Element Rod in his hand expanded as Emperor Will gushed into it, making it seem as if it was on fire. The five colors on the rod turned into a brilliant emperor color. Ye Futian waved his arm and the entire sky changed its color.
At this instant, Ye Futian recalled the battle in Donghai City and that special feeling appeared again. Activating the Imperial Tactics to its extreme, his every move made him look like an emperor. The difference was that in Donghai, another willpower was guiding and controlling him but at the moment, he was fighting himself.
The Five Element Rod smashed down from the sky and cracked the earth open. Qin Li froze at his spot. Even with noble ritual implements, they could not fight against that level of power.
The two people beside Qin Li activated their powers fully. Wind whizzed around them and dragon howls could be heard in the sky. A golden dragon sword appeared in the hands of one person, while an ice scepter appeared in the hands of the other. They were both noble ritual implements. After all, their positions were extraordinary—they were both direct descendants of the royal family.
Two dragons charged towards the Five Element Rod. At the same time, ice started to cover the rod.
Bang! A violent explosion was heard. Even the ground itself seemed to have cracked. The dragons were crushed into pieces and Qin Li’s face was bombarded with wildly flying snowflakes. Knowing that Ye Futian had purposely lured them here to kill him, Qin Li retreated quickly. He understood that he already could not participate in this battle.
Dong. Suddenly, Ye Futian started to charge forward. He swang his rod and passed the two Upper Arcana Plane cultivators from the center. Having finally lured Qin Li here and found a chance to kill him, how could Ye Futian let Qin Li leave the place alive?
The music from the dancing Guqin Spirit seeped into the ears of the two continuously. The long rod in Ye Futian’s hand turned into wood-elemental and actually began to extend and curl, eventually grabbing Qin Li who was trying to escape.
“Come back.” The rod retracted.
“Save me!” Qin Li roared. His voice echoed on Sky Mountain and spread outwards continuously. Feeling Ye Futian’s intense murderous intent, he really felt a death threat.
“Let him go!” someone shouted. One of the cultivators behind Ye Futian charged forward like a dragon and struck his sword out. At this instant, Ye Futian felt as if there was a golden dragon which was piercing towards him with a sharp sword. The attack was incredibly powerful.
Ye Futian flung Qin Li behind him to prevent him from escaping. In the meantime, he retracted the Five Element Rod and gave another strike. His attack was executed smoothly and landed on the body of the golden dragon, breaking it into pieces.
The music from the guqin continued to be released in the snow. It was very ear-piercing and sounded chaotic. Ye Futian had played the music using Emperor Will and everyone hearing it wanted to submit to him.
Ye Futian continued to move forward, swinging the Five Element Rod in his hand again. Wind and clouds in the sky roared and snowflakes danced with the Five Element Rod. Together, they turned into a monstrous vortex where all the natural forces converged.
Ye Futian would frequently practice boxing when he was free. During his practice, he would activate the Imperial Tactics. With this, his every move would be filled with the rhythm of an emperor. Therefore at the moment, he activated the Imperial Tactics and merged that rhythm into the Nine Heavenly Attacks.
His rod struck out and even the sky seemed to be roaring. When the Upper Arcana Plane cultivator before him felt the power of the attack, his face was only filled with shock and astonishment. With Ye Futian’s willpower and the influence of his music, it felt as if Ye Futian was an invincible emperor. The pressure of his willpower brought much desperation to the cultivator.
The Dharma of the Qin Dynasty cultivators turned into a dragon which dashed out. He activated his sword and roared loudly, wanting to block the strike.
The long rod covered the sky and the sun. It smashed down from above and even the sky seemed to be collapsing.
Bang!
An extremely loud noise erupted. The Five Element Rod broke open all defenses and crushed everything in its path, hitting directly onto the body of the Upper Arcana Plane cultivator. Without any suspense, the cultivator fell flat onto the ground and even his body was slightly deformed. His body trembled gently and blood gushed out continuously, coloring the white snow on the ground.
His eyes were still open, but his heartbeat had already stopped. He could not die in peace.
He was a descendant of the royal family of Qin Dynasty. Furthermore, he was a talented Upper Arcana Plane cultivator and was not far away from the Noble Plane. Once he became a noble, he would be a mainstay of the Qin Dynasty and all-powerful in the future. However, he died on Sky Mountain.
Seeing the scene, the faces of Qin Li and the other cultivator were filled with fear, especially Qin Li. Under the influence of the music, his Spiritual Energy was completely suppressed and his eyes were filled with horror.
At first, he thought that Ye Futian would definitely die in his hands on Sky Mountain. It would be a piece of cake to kill Ye Futian.
However, at the moment Ye Futian was like an emperor and he an ant. He did not even have the ability to fight back.
Nobody would understand his despair.
Seeing Ye Futian’s look, Qin Li was no longer arrogant like he had always been. He could only feel that he was extremely petty and low!
