Chapter 2251: Might of the Sacred Remains

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

The sight before them had a strong impact on everyone. Ye Futian had really taken over the corpse of Shenjia the Great Emperor and was able to use it in battle and urge great power from it. Even the Sun God Sword released by a top figure from Sun God Mountain had been destroyed just like that.

Everyone had estimated the strength of Ziwei Imperial Palace. Even though the imperial palace was very strong, without the existence of their former palace lord, they were not so fearsome. After all, there were many principalities on this side. Even without counting the cultivators from the Dark World and Empty Divine Realm, the Divine Prefecture itself would have enough forces to act against Ye Futian.

Ye Futian’s own realm was lowly enough, and he could only rely on other cultivators to protect him, so it should not have been too difficult to take him down.

However, the scene before them was clearly unexpected. Ye Futian, who was able to control the body of Shenjia the Great Emperor, was himself the top cultivator amongst them all. Of course, it was still unclear just how much strength he could actually produce.

They just hoped that it was not the same as when the teacher from Four Corner Village was in control of the body of Shenjia the Great Emperor. Otherwise, no one here could possibly bear it. In the battle outside of Four Corner Village, the teacher did not go easy on them. The clan lord of the Nanhai family was gravely injured without any ability to fight back. If the teacher of Four Corner Village were here in control of the sacred remains, none of them would even entertain the thought of touching Ye Futian.

But now it seemed that the teacher had taught Ye Futian how to do it.

In fact, Ye Futian himself was under unbelievable pressure by doing this. After all, he was still a distance away from the teacher as far as their realms were concerned. It could be said that there was an entire level of difference between their existence. To control the sacred remains, the load he had to bear was frightening to even think of, and it could very well be turned around to hurt himself.

And this was even under the condition that he had controlled the several kinds of will of the Great Emperors. Otherwise, it would be even more impossible to achieve.

In the void, the cultivators from Sun God Mountain did not look too good. Was the power of the sacred remains this terrifying?

Although Shenjia the Great Emperor was no more, back when his corpse was still in Shangqing Domain, no one dared to even glance at it, for it held terrifying power that was beyond words.

“Attack the spiritual soul, destroy his spiritual soul,” a voice reminded everyone that the body of Shenjia the Great was impossible to be broken. Ye Futian separated his spiritual soul to enter into the body of Shenjia the Great, thus gaining control over the corpse.

Therefore, if they could shatter his spiritual soul through the sacred remains, Ye Futian would undoubtedly perish.

Although all the cultivators were stunned by Ye Futian’s control over Shenjia the Great Emperor, many top figures were watching with blazing eyes. Their minds were reeling as their interest was now piqued, and they were dying to make a move.

The corpse of Shenjia the Great Emperor was so terribly powerful. How could they not covet it?

Now, if Ye Futian could be killed here, not only was it possible to obtain the inheritance power of Ziwei the Great but the sacred remains of Shenjia the Great Emperor would also be kept here. Who could resist that?

It was just too strong. The power that erupted from these sacred remains made them tremble in fear.

Attack of the spiritual soul!

How could they attack Ye Futian’s spiritual soul inside the sacred remains?

At this time, the cultivators from the Dark World and the Empty Divine Realm who stood a distance away were already aching to make a move. They didn’t think that Ye Futian would have brought the body of Shenjia the Great Emperor with him. This way, they could kill him and capture the sacred remains. The payout could be great.

They weren’t quite certain whether they could control the inheritance of Ziwei the Great through Ye Futian, but the sacred remains appearing in front of them was a fact. Facing its mighty power, how could they resist?

However, they wanted to see just what kind of power Ye Futian could urge from the sacred remains.

Boom… A terrifying sound was heard, and the sun god-like figure was still expanding and growing, as if it had swallowed the sun’s divine power between heaven and earth. For a time, an infinite area was shrouded inside of it.

These massive and boundless eyes of the Sun God shot out a terrifying divine light, like two fire beams, directly falling on the body of Shenjia the Great Emperor. However, it was still unable to burn up the body. Ye Futian controlled the body of Shenjia the Great to move upward, shuttling in the fire field like an immortal existence.

At this moment, a real sun appeared on the chest of the Sun God. It contained an unparalleled destructive solar storm that was capable of devouring all existence. The ever-expanding solar storm was moving in the direction of Shenjia the Great, about to swallow him whole into the storm itself.

At this time, the arms of Shenjia the Great Emperor moved. He raised his hand and pointed outward like a sword. In an instant, infinite characters flew out of the body of Shenjia the Great Emperor and filled up the space. To everyone’s shock, they found that all these characters were actually just the same one word, sword.

Endless characters gathered together and turned into an incomparable storm of sword qi, pointed at the sky above, and aiming toward that solar storm for the kill.

Buzz! Buzz! Buzz! The sword that was made up by those infinite characters pierced directly into the solar storm. At this moment, everyone’s attention was glued there. They wanted to see just how powerful Ye Futian’s first attack would be, aided by Shenjia the Great Emperor.

Soon, they saw it.

When the divine sword penetrated the solar storm, the storm actually began to burst and shatter. Its Great Path collapsed, and everything was turning into dust and disappeared into nothingness.

In a short moment, all the cultivators saw the destruction of that massive solar storm, as it vanished immediately.

What was even more frightening was that the divine sword which contained those characters was still around, rushing into that majestic, god-like body.

“The power of destruction.”

A shocking voice spoke. In the next moment, everyone saw a figure rise into the sky. It was as if, with a single thought, it had separated itself from the figure. Soon afterward, that sun god-like body followed suit in its continuous collapse and destruction.

High above the sky, that supreme cultivator from the Sun God Mountain appeared. He looked down at the body of Shenjia the Great Emperor below, and his heartbeat quickened.

Path destruction. This spell could destroy the power of the Great Path, perhaps suppressing all power of the Great Path. Destruction was imminent as soon as it hit its target.

He was an existence that had already survived the divine tribulation of the Great Path, with an intimate understanding of the Great Path so that his perception of it was very clear. According to legend, Shenjia the Great Emperor wanted to battle the Heavenly Path and thoroughly destroy it. In his arrogance, he declared that there was no such thing as the Great Path in the natural order of the world.

Therefore, this was the power of Shenjia the Great Emperor. Even though he had been dead for many years, the power contained within his body was incomparable and had the power to extinguish the Great Path. Back then, in the Shangqing Domain, no one under the status of giants had the ability to even gaze upon the body of Shenjia the Great Emperor. One look would cause blood to ooze from their eyes.

In the void, a series of ancient characters were floating in the air. After circling in the void, they flew directly back into the body of Shenjia the Great Emperor.

Ye Futian’s spiritual soul was inside the body of Shenja the Great Emperor. He was under extremely horrific pressure at the moment, as if he had entered a domain composed of endless characters. In this domain, each of these infinite characters contained incredible and incomprehensible power.

This was a world of infinite mystery, composed of characters from the Great Path, which contained unspeakable power. If he could be in full control of it, Ye Futian believed he could kill all the cultivators here and end all his opponents instantly.

However, it was not easy for him to use any of these powers while consuming a large amount of energy, let alone exert all his power. If he had tried, his spiritual soul would not be able to bear it, and it would cause a backlash.

Furthermore, he was not yet fully familiar with this power!
