Chapter 2257: Taichu Saint Emperor

Is he threatening us? people wondered.

The crowd looked towards where Ye Futian was at. At this moment, Ye Futian was still using his words to deter the powerhouses.

Could it be that he could still fight?

Besides, was retreating that simple of a thing?

Even if they retreat, they could return at any time for another battle; it was completely meaningless.

At this moment, a horrifying energy ripple abruptly appeared above the sky. An awe-inspiring aura suffused, and everyone could feel the ghastly might.

“What’s going on?” Many raised their heads and looked at the sky. How could this aura be so tyrannical? Even the big shots felt the fear-instilling aura.

It was simply too powerful.

“This is bad.” Over where the aces of Ziwei Imperial Palace were, the Supreme Elder, Renhuang Chen, had his eyebrows knitted. His facial expression was slightly perturbed. Not only him, but every powerhouse of Ziwei Imperial Palace felt a bad premonition.

“A powerful existence has arrived.” Emperor Xi, too, raised his head and looked at the land above. The gust of might descended from the sky as if it came from a far-away land. When the entity was still far afield, his might had already penetrated the space and arrived.

He faintly felt that it was an extremely horrifying existence, and his Plane might very well be above him.

At present, the existence’s identity was still unknown.

The storm raged, and at last, a figure emerged at the sky above the Heavenly Mandate Academy. But of course, the Heavenly Mandate Academy right now had been razed to the ground and no longer existed.

“All hail Saint Emperor.”

In the distance, several figures groveled on their hands and knees in an extremely pious and respectful manner. At the same time, their spirits were somewhat heightened.

“Saint Emperor.”

The crowd’s hearts thumped as they looked at the arriving figure. Saint Emperor of the Holy Land of Taichu. He had come. A figure at the pinnacle of the Taichu Domain, an existence that had survived two major divine tribulations.

The Taichu Saint Emperor lowered his head and cast his eyes on the body of Shenjia the Great below. His eyes were filled with disdain. With just a single glance, people could feel an extremely horrifying threat being emitted from him. The eyes of Shenjia the Great Emperor stared back at him. A gust of daunting Divine Light erupted.

Almost nobody in the Shangqing Domain dared to look right into those eyes. But at this very moment, the eyes of Taichu Saint Emperor were looking straight into the eyes of Shenjia the Great Emperor. A mighty aura permeated the vicinity, giving people the feeling as if he was the ruler of this land.

“So powerful.” Everyone could feel his immense strength. Figures at his level were rare even across the entire Divine Prefecture. In the Donghua Domain and the Shangqing Domain, such entities did not even exist. One could only imagine how terrifying he was.

Even in Ziwei Imperial Palace, only their original Palace Lord was on that level, and he was the person who ruled over the entire Ziwei Segmentum.

When existences at this level advance one step further, they would be able to step into the Plane that all cultivators yearn for—the Great Emperor Plane.

At that Plane, one would truly become the ruler of heaven and earth.

“Even the Saint Emperor of the Holy Land of Taichu is here.” The aces trembled within. This was the first superpower that descended upon the Original Realm, an existence standing at the very top of the pyramid.

Within his personal arrival, who else could go up against him and contest for the corpse of Shenjia the Great Emperor?

Ye Futian was bound to perish. Nobody could possibly go up against such an entity.

And not long ago, Ye Futian just killed the Swordmaster of Taichu. Now, he was probably going to pay for it.

Likewise, Ye Futian stared at his opponent. The Saint Emperor has arrived in person, huh?

The master of the Holy Land of Taichu descending upon the Original Realm.

He had not experienced the power of someone of this caliber. The only time he had ever felt such an existence was at Great Emperor Ziwei’s Cultivation Court. However, he was not borrowing the power of Shenjia the Great Emperor to slaughter his opponents; it was because Great Emperor Ziwei’s will was there with him.

In that starry dimension, he could be fearless. The true will of the Great Emperor was infused with that boundless starry dimension, and for that, he could take down powerhouses at any level.

But things were different over here. He was merely controlling a sacred remain. What’s more, his control over it was not complete yet. He could only borrow the power within it, and the conduct itself would also cause immense stress to his own body.

Ka-boom… A shocking aura erupted from the body of Taichu Saint Emperor. At this very moment, everyone in Heavenly Mandate City could feel the Divine Wrath. He stood high up in the air and looked down condescendingly. He looked down as if all the living were ants, even Ye Futian, who was commanding the body of Shenjia the Great Emperor.

None of the aces in Heavenly Mandate City dared to look up at the sky. They were feeling nothing but fear.

“This is bad,” Mei Ting said when she saw the situation over here. The way this was progressing was anything but reassuring for Ye Futian and those at his side, especially for Ye Futian himself. With the Swordmaster of Taichu killed and their Saint Emperor descending, there was a strong possibility that he would kill Ye Futian. There was no way that he would let him go.

The Taichu Saint Emperor raised his arm slightly. It was a simple move, yet everyone could feel a heart-trembling aura. The entire realm was shuddering because of his one simple action.

At the very next moment, the Taichu Saint Emperor could be seen raising his arm and pointing his finger downwards. With that action, the Great Path crumbled, and everything within heaven and earth was about to be destroyed. In a different dimension, a murky and appalling fissure emerged. It continued to expand and gobble up all that existed.

His finger also fell directly onto the body of Shenjia the Great Emperor.

Boom… Following a loud boom, the body of Shenjia the Great Emperor was shocked for the very first time. What’s more, this trembling force immediately penetrated the body of Shenjia the Emperor and descended upon Ye Futian’s spiritual soul.

Though the body of Shenjia the Great Emperor could not be destroyed, the runes within his body were still shaking violently. Having suffered from the impulse, the body was blasted into the ground.

“So powerful.” The crowd’s hearts were thumping. Was this what a super existence who had gone through a level two divine tribulation looked like? Even Ye Futian, who was invincible a while ago, seemed so vulnerable.

Perhaps Ye Futian had already exhausted all his strength and was incapable of tapping into the power of the body of Shenjia the Emperor. That was why he thought about using his words to deter the crowd.

The powerhouses of the Heavenly Mandate Academy looked over, and all of them had a strong sense of restlessness emerging within them. Such an attack would destroy Ye Futian’s spiritual soul. They paced towards that direction, only to see Taichu Saint Emperor moving a step down in the air.

With this very move, the realm suffocated, and it seemed as if everyone could hardly move. He was the master of this realm.

“A Saint Emperor indeed.”

At this moment, a voice came from afar. It seemed as if he came from a place very far away. The Taichu Saint Emperor turned around and looked towards the distance. Suddenly, a terrifying aura of the same level permeated, frightening everyone in the vicinity.

Had another superpower that had gone through a level two divine tribulation arrived?

As anticipated, the man seemingly ripped space apart and stepped forward. This powerhouse was not from the Divine Prefecture but the Dark World. On his body, there was a frightening aura of destruction.

“This is getting crazy.” The aces shuddered within. Yet another superpower had arrived. This storm was about to get worse!
