Chapter 2271: Divine Power Underground

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

The entire Solar Divine Palace turned into a terrifying Divine Sun Furnace and continued to spread into the far distance. With the Solar Divine Palace as the center, the entire vast expanse of land was on fire, and the earth was about to be destroyed by the intense heat.

Countless people levitated into the air, heading higher into the sky, trying to escape that terrible vision of the flame. However, because the Solar Divine Palace was in the center, few could escape, and many perished under the terrible flame of the Way, killed off simply by being burnt away.

“Didn’t even spare their own people.” In the void, Ye Futian and the others looked down into the lower sky. That powerful existence, who had passed through the Divine Tribulation of the Great Path, was urging the divine flame in the middle of the earth. A monstrous flaming aura soared, and he seemed to have turned into a god of flames surrounded by the divine light of the flames, with no one who could get close to him. Anyone who approached him was in danger of being burned alive.

“How cruel.” Everyone secretly marveled. This supremely powerful figure from the Upper Worlds, as expected, did not care much for the cultivators from the Solar Divine Palace. To raise the Earthly Divine Fire, he didn’t hesitate to spend the lives of those from Solar Divine Palace.

“Watch out!” Renhuang Chen reminded Ye Futian. This cultivator from Sun God Mountain couldn’t give up the Earthly fire of the Solar Realm, which was why he did not leave. Moreover, he was confident enough that the cultivators from Heaven Mandate Academy couldn’t trip him up. After all, without the body of Shenjia the Great Emperor, there were not many who could compete with him.

Feeling the aura from others at this moment, Renhuang Chen also sensed a vague threat. Although Ye Futian had broken into the realm of Upper Renhuang, if he suffered an attack by someone at this level, he would undoubtedly die from it. So, he had to rely on Ye Futian to be extra careful.

Boom… A horrific aura flooded the space, and the infinite divine fire of the Great Path directly swallowed up the void. Thousands of miles of space all turned into a world ruled by flames, as if it was the realm that belonged to the divine fire. That cultivator from Sun God Mountain seemed to transform into a veritable Sun God, with the Divine Wheel of the Sun behind his back. The divine light shot out toward Ye Futian and the others in the void with frightening destructive power.

Renhuang Chen extended the scepter in his hand. Suddenly, a field of stars appeared around the cultivators. They were surrounded by starry divine light and a world of starry skies. It was as the Divine Light of the Sun directly fell upon these stars until the terrifying divine fire seemed to engulf them all. Slowly, the surface of the stars began to burn little by little, causing the stars to ignite.

What was happening in this area was too terrifying to behold. Many cultivators from the Solar Divine Palace had a desperate look on their faces. Fighting here meant that they would all die. There would be no survivors. That powerful man from the Upper Worlds had intended for all of them to be buried here. No wonder some cultivators from Sun God Mountain had already left before this.

It turned out that he already had a plan, and he did not even take the Solar Divine Palace in the Lower Worlds into consideration at all. To him, everyone here was as insignificant as an ant. As such, totally without any value. The only thing that really mattered was the Solar Realm itself.

This caused the cultivators from Solar Divine Palace to feel a deep sense of sorrow. It was ludicrous that they thought the cultivator from Sun God Mountain would protect them. They never expected that the other had never even considered their safety, so how could he care if they lived or died?

Under the power of the Divine Fire of the Sun, the stars were actually showing signs of melting. Renhuang Chen looked down into the sky below and said, “He is borrowing the power of the underground.”

“In the land of the Nine Realms, the Shadow Divine Stone was once found inside the Shadow Realm. It could be the same with the Solar Realm. There might be divine items existing, thus accounting for the birth of the Solar Realm. The cultivator from Sun God Mountain came to the Lower Worlds and must have already begun to excavate the divine items inside the Solar Realm. It’s not so strange that he would be able to draw on the power of it,” said Ye Futian. Renhuang Chen nodded gently. He came from the Ziwei Segmentum, and he was not so familiar with everything that went on in the Original Realm.

However, he had heard that Ziwei Segmentum was previously enclosed inside a massive rock in the Ziwei Realm.

The cultivator from Sun God Mountain extended both of his hands, and the body akin to the Sun God was terrifying beyond words. The divine fire that rushed out from the heart of the earth gathered together and turned into a terrifying Sun God Sword. But more than that, in the area above him, the currents of Great Path circulated as if containing the source power of the Great Path and had also converged and formed into many Sun God Swords.

In an instant, countless Sun God Swords fell all at once, aiming at the ground surrounded by the starry sky in front of them.

Bang, bang… The terrifying attacks landed as stars, one after another, collapsed and shattered, broken under the attacks of the Sun God Sword. The terrifying attacks continued to move forward, killing all the nearby cultivators. At the same time, the divine fire in this area came down to burn this boundless space.

Renhuang Chen took a step forward, and a terrifying divine glory came out from his body. On him, wisps of starlight shot out as well and turned into a frightening starlight screen to block the intrusion of the divine fire. At the same time, terrifying and mighty power was flowing within the scepter. As he pointed the scepter forward, many starry divine swords suddenly appeared and smashed toward the Sun God Sword before colliding.

However, Renhuang Chen’s attack was surprisingly at a slight disadvantage. His Starry Divine Sword was penetrated by the Sun God Sword, and the light screen seemed to be on the verge of being pulverized.

“We have to seal the power from the underground,” Ye Futian said as he swept his eyes to the area below. It seemed that this man from Sun God Mountain could leverage the divine power underground to exert supreme strength. No wonder he was reluctant to leave. It seemed that he did not excavate any divine items from the Solar Realm, but he could borrow some of its power.

“I’ll go.” The Millet Emperor spoke up, and as his voice fell, he was already on his way towards the sky below with the Watchtower on his back. At the same time, he said to Renhuang Chen, “You know what to do, so, please.”

Renhuang Chen understood what he meant by that–it was for him to slow down the opponent so that he could seal the divine power that surged underground.

Boom… An even more terrifying force erupted from Renhuang Chen. It was as if he had turned into a starry world all of his own. Countless starlight flowed as he continued moving forward with a scepter in hand. Suddenly, those Sun God Swords continued to shatter and collapse as an incredible power emerged from his body, directly slamming toward the opponent at close range.

As the cultivators from Sun God Mountain saw the oncoming slaughter, a sacred flame shot out from his eyes, and that Sun God-like body continued forward. His palm was outstretched as if it had turned into a Divine Sun Furnace, intending to incinerate Renhuang Chen.

The scepter in Renhuang Chen’s hand hit the palm, which was like a solar forge. A terrifying force swept through the land as if to shatter the earth as well as heaven. However, the space remained stable with no signs of damage, nor did any dark cracks appear. This was because the entire space had been controlled by the two of them and was shrouded by their Way.

At this moment, the Millet Emperor carried Wangshen Watchtower toward the ground below. A heavenly might descended, and there was a terrifying divine power surging within the Watchtower, flowing towards the ground!
