Chapter 2840: Spear
“Is this an application of the Divine Force of Space?” someone thought out loud. All the surrounding cultivators were staring at the battle between Ye Futian and the two Great Emperors.
Divine power circled him. His defensive power was extremely terrifying. It appeared to be the Divine Power of the World. As for the warped storm that was now unleashing divine light, it seemed to be a powerful application of the Divine Force of Space.
As the two Great Emperors, Haotian the Great and Yuanshi the Great, unleashed a combined attack, the absolute defense forged from the Divine Power of the World was shattered. Countless beams of the divine light of the Heavenly Penalty shot towards Ye Futian’s figure. Yet, they were consumed by the storm.
It was as though a chaotic current of time and space had formed around Ye Futian’s figure. This chaotic current was like a black hole. It was extremely terrifying.
Yuanshi the Great pointed a finger to the sky. Even more menacing might burst forth from the divine matrix. Endless attacks surged towards Ye Futian, burying the area where he stood. Haotian the Great did not stand by idly. He similarly attacked. Countless Haotian Divine Seals crashed down, attempting to shatter the divine power around Ye Futian.
Ye Futian’s figure was buried. The cultivators from the outside world could no longer detect him. They could only see the endless attacks as well as the warped storm that circled Ye Futian’s body.
The cultivators in Haotian City felt their hearts racing. They did not expect to witness a god-level battle today. This was a war among Great Emperors. Two Great Emperors besieged Ye Futian to kill him. Even though Ye Futian had yet to become a Great Emperor, he was already comparable to one in terms of ability. Therefore, he could be counted as one of them.
The terrifying destructive might and the endless attacks did not stand a chance when faced with the distorted space and were consumed by the latter. The spatial storm grew larger and covered this part of the sky. The attacks from the two Great Emperors failed to penetrate it.
What kind of defense is this? thought Yan Guiyi as he observed the fight. He was astonished. As the top Demon Sage in the Devil World, he was arrogant. Nevertheless, he paid close attention to Ye Futian’s development since the latter visited Devil Imperial Palace. Ye Futian’s improvement surpassed Yan Guiyi’s imagination and had reached a shocking stage.
Ye Futian’s defense alone was sufficient to put the two Great Emperors in a predicament.
“His attack will be as powerful as his defense,” Yu Sheng commented. He seemed to have a lot of confidence in Ye Futian. Ye Fuitan always paid attention to both his defense and offense to cover all grounds. Now, he was focused on withstanding the attacks of the two Great Emperors. Once he found a chance to retaliate, it was hard to say whether Haotian the Great and Yuanshi the Great would be able to hold out against his attack.
Very far away from the Nantian Domain where Haotian City was, Donghuang the Great and the Devil Emperor were in Donghuang Imperial Palace, the most revered place in the Divine Prefecture.
They were still seated in front of the Weiqi board. However, Donghuang the Great had activated a passageway. There was an image inside it. The image was of the battle happening in the Haotian Clan now.
It seemed like no fight in the Divine Prefecture could go unnoticed if Donghuang the Great truly wanted to find out.
“Donghuang, what do you think?” the Devil Emperor asked as he looked at Donghuang the Great, who sat across from him.
Donghuang the Great replied, “He severed his Path in order to attain greater cultivation. He can go toe to toe with two ancient Emperors even though he is only at the Great Emperor-To-Be Plane. He has created many unique divine powers. He is exceptional.”
“Can he defeat you?” the Devil Emperor inquired further.
As he asked, his gaze was fixed on the side profile of the other party. He was interested to see how Donghuang the Great would respond to him.
Donghuang the Great observed the battle as he acknowledged, “He is capable of defeating me.”
The Devil Emperor narrowed his eyes. Then, he laughed and said, “Donghuang, you are crowned the top all-rounder in the world. You are unparalleled and are a one-in-a-million genius. You actually acknowledged that someone is better than you and a junior at that.”
Donghuang the Great responded, “The heavens and the earth welcome major changes, and the Age of the Gods will soon come again. It’s not surprising that some monstrous figures have risen. I proved my Way and now rule over the Divine Prefecture. However, my achievements are possible only because we live in the current era. During ancient times, there were countless exceptional figures beneath the Heavenly Path. I am nothing compared to them.”
The Devil Emperor smiled as he looked at the other party. He praised, “You might not be the strongest in this current world, but you are the only one that I admire.”
He continued, “However, as the heir of Emperor Ye Qing, he will seek you out to take revenge. Since you believe he might surpass you, why do you still let him leave? Why don’t you nip this threat in the bud?”
He was curious as to how Donghuang the Great would respond.
“If that is the case, what difference is there between this era and the previous era?” asked Donghuang the Great as he also revealed a smile. He looked at the Devil Emperor and said, “If he truly stands before me one day, I wouldn’t mind surrendering the world to him.”
When the Devil Emperor heard Donghuang the Great’s response, he stared at the former with his jet-black eyes. He seemed to be judging how much of what Donghuang the Great said was true.
“In your opinion, who will win this battle?” the Devil Emperor continued asking.
Donghuang the Great looked towards the battlefield and said, “Ye Futian.”
“I think so too,” replied the Devil Emperor with a smile as he also turned to look at the battlefield.
Right now, on the battlefield, the attacks of the two Great Emperors still could not break through Ye Futian’s defenses. Haotian the Great’s gaze was as cold as ice. In the sky above, a Haotian Great Palm grabbed out at Ye Futian. He was attempting to crush the space with his gigantic palm.
When Yuanshi the Great saw this scene, he ceased attacking. He watched the Great Palm that blocked out the sky attentively.
Under the watch of countless gazes, the Great Palm came down and grabbed at where Ye Futian stood.
When it landed, the warped storm actually crumbled it gradually. The gigantic Great Palm shattered and was frenziedly swept into the storm.
What kind of divine power is this? wondered the top figures of the Devil World and the Dark World. Their hearts trembled violently as they witnessed this shocking scene unfold before their eyes. The Haotian Great Palm crumbled frenziedly, and the falling pieces were sucked into the storm. The speed of consumption was astonishing. When the great palm entered into the region of the swirling space, the crowd noticed that time flowed differently in that space.
Nevertheless, the Great Palm still managed to crush the swirling storm as it was sucked into the latter due to its enormous size. The distorted space was similarly collapsing. Both attacks disintegrated.
Right at this moment, a beam of divine light flashed. A figure appeared amidst the raging storm. He was none other than Ye Futian.
He transformed into a beam of light. With a spear in his hand, he freed himself from the besiegement and charged forward. His speed was incredulously fast. In an instant, he appeared in front of Yuanshi the Great.
The spear in Ye Futian’s hand stabbed out. For a figure at his level, he could attack even across vast distances. However, Ye Futian chose to fight in close quarters.
As the spear stabbed out, Yuanshi the Great saw the tip of the spear warp space and time, just like the defensive power around Ye Futian’s figure. However, this time, it was used to attack instead.
Yuanshi the Great had already proven his Way and reached the Great Emperor Plane. Yet, against such an attack, his heart seemed to stop beating. The entire world fell silent, and he sensed an absolute threat. This attack could kill him!
