"What monster?"

Everyone looked towards Yu Sheng. Inside the area surrounded by demonic might, Yu Sheng had donned a magnificent Demonic Armor, and a terrifying Will of the Demonic God erupted from within. Throughout the vast lands and skies, demonic might surged and roared like rolling thunder. In the void, a pair of dark, cold eyes appeared, petrifying all who dared to look at it.

​​

"Demonic Mail!"

The cultivators' pupils constricted as they looked toward Yu Sheng. Who was this guy?

The Demonic Mail is a gear of the Demonic Gods, a true divine item. As Yu Shang donned the Demonic Mail, all of the cultivators wondered how terrifying his power would now be?

As terrifying booming noises sounded, a demonic projection appeared behind Yu Sheng, towering over the world like a Demonic God. As the projection shrouded Yu Sheng's body, it fused together with the demonic might surrounding him, as though evolving into a true Demonic God.

Likewise, a divine item appeared before Ye Futian, along with a terrifying aura that erupted from it. As Shenjia the Great Emperor's body was summoned, Ye Futian's spiritual soul detached from his body. Divine lights encircled Shenjia the Great Emperor's body before his spiritual soul gushed into it. Immediately, Shenjia the Great Emperor's body twitched, and by the time he raised his head, the horrific divine lights from his eyes made the hearts of anyone who witnessed it tremble.

"Are they all releasing divine items now?" The cultivators' hearts pounded. In the battle just now, the four great cultivators were hampered by the sound of the Ye Futian's guqin. They had been unable to wield their full powers. To counter that, they all released their strongest weapons—the divine items. It was equivalent to going through a metamorphosis.

They were already peak-level Renhuang Plane. And now they were even more powerful. It was an unequal battle, to begin with. But now that they had equipped themselves with divine items, how could the battle continue?

So Ye Futian and Yu Sheng no longer held back, and both drew their divine items as well.

As Hua Jiyu familiarized herself with Yearning—the divine guqin—the emotions in the Divine Requiem were growing stronger. Even as the four great cultivators drew their divine items, the Will of Grief continued to infiltrate their minds and corrode their determination, they could only temporarily subdue it with divine powers.

"Kill!" The four stopped waiting. As Wang Mian voiced something, rays of divine light that obliterated everything in its way streamed out of the golden matrix conjuring atop his head. It was as though the divine lights rained judgment on the worlds, attempting to rain destruction upon where Ye Futian and Hua Jieyu were.

Boom! A figure descended from the skies. It was like a Demonic God had arrived, coming to a stop in the air above Ye Futian. It was Yu Sheng. His gaze swept across the skies high above him. Both of his eyes contained such dominating aura it was as though anyone who saw it would lower their heads and surrender at once. It was simply unparalleled.

Many demonic projections appeared in the skies as though the Demonic Gods of the worlds had descended. Every single one had a terrifying aura. All of them were summoned by Yu Sheng.

Hum! As the divine lights rained down to obliterate all living beings in their way, many of the demonic projections were crushed and destroyed, turning into dust and ash within an instant as they were unable to fend against the horrific divine lights shooting down from the Matrix.

"Leave me," Ye Futian said as he raised his head to glance at where Yu Sheng was. Of course, he understood that Yu Sheng intended to protect Hua Jieyu and him, but he didn't need it.

While Ye Futian's physical body continued to sit quietly beside Hua Jieyu, the body of Shenjia the Great Emperor moved. Ye Futian saw that horrific beam of light was blasting toward them. So with one thought, countless divine lights shot out from Shenjia the Great Emperor's body, akin to mythic runes being summoned one after another. Pointing his finger ahead, countless divine lights converged instantly to form a Light Screen of Space. All of the attacks landed on the luminous wall yet weren't able to break it.

It was as though with a casual point of his finger, Ye Futian had created a world to block the attacks for him.

Just then, the divine weapon in Wang Mian's possession struck down, the golden divine spear hitting the Light Screen of Space.

A deep, muffled thump echoed the battlefield as the Light Screen shattered. The golden divine spear had actually managed to pierce it! The terrifying divine lights from the spear continued the smite downward, intending to kill Ye Futian once and for all.

A light screen of obliteration engulfed the entire space, blinding anyone who witnessed it.

Shenjia the Great Emperor's body flew straight up. He neither dodged nor evaded, flying directly up into the skies like a beam of light as the divine lights on him shone magnificently. He raised his hand and pointed towards the divine spear ahead as his entire body turned into a supreme divine sword, colliding with the divine light that was moving down. As the two rays of light met, terrifying gashes appeared in the space around them.

"Break!" Shenjia the Great Emperor yelled. Instantly, his Sword Will destroyed everything in its way as his divine frame moved with unstoppable force. Wang Mian's expression turned more solemn. All of the divine lights from his worldly matrices converged onto him as if all the divine lights of the worlds had merged into one to fuse into his palm. He once again thrust the divine spear, directly colliding with Ye Futian.

The body of Shenjia the Great Emperor was like an unbreakable divine sword. As it collided with the golden divine spear, two force waves erupted from the collision. The Great Paths around them starting crumbling uncontrollably as they were destroyed by the shockwaves.

"Path Obliteration!" called Shenjia the Great Emperor. Instantly, divine lights erupted from his body, shooting out towards the matrix patterns atop the skies. Horrifying divine lights of the sword pierced the matrix patterns, causing them to shatter one after another.

An equally powerful force was exerted onto Wang Mian, he let out a muffled groan as his body was blasted into the air.

Seeing this scene before them shook the divine prefecture cultivators to their core, they had heard before that Ye Futian could unleash extreme combat prowess with the body of Shenjia the Great Emperor. Now, they could confirm that it was no mere rumor. Wang Mian himself was an ultra-powerful Renhuang; he was peak-level Renhuang Plane and even wielding a divine weapon, yet he was still repelled by Ye Futian.

Wang Mian's arm trembled. He looked at the quivering golden spear on his arm. So this was the power of Path Obliteration of Shenjia the Great Emperor?

When they clashed just now, it was as though his Path was getting destroyed.

In the meantime, in the other direction, the other high-level cultivators didn't just watch. Hua Junmo transformed into Haotian the Great and exerted his dominating might. Great Palm Seals appeared and moved down, covering such a vast space that it was as if it shrouded the entire world. As huge explosions echoed the air, these palm seals slammed down on Ye Futian's physical body and on Hua Jieyu.

Letting his spiritual soul leave his body to control Shenjia the Great Emperor's body was extremely risky. If Ye Futian's own body were attacked and destroyed, his spiritual soul would have no physical vessel to reside in. Hua Jieyu's guqin continued to irk and influence them.

Yu Sheng looked high up above the skies.

Boom... His body was still expanding exponentially, transforming into a colossal Demonic God. Countless demonic projections around them guarded Ye Futian and Hua Jieyu, while the Demonic God he had transformed into raised his hand to slam down on the celestial skies. Supreme demonic might flared the world as his palm collided with the Haotian Great Palm Seal.

The world once again felt like it was falling apart. Great Paths collapsed, and dark gashes in space swallowed everything that came close. The force was so great that even the Heavenly Mandate City below the skies shook.

The entire body of the Demonic God shined magnificently. Demonic lights flowed and turned throughout him, giving rise to unparalleled power. Instantly, violent blasts and explosions erupted from the collision, and the Great Palm Seal started exploding from the middle as cracks started appearing. As the cracks sprawled out, the Great Palm seal collapsed uncontrollably!
