Chapter 2178: Crisis

What the spectators didn’t know at this moment was that Ye Futian was also suffering in agony from his cultivation. Although he had broken the bonds of the current cultivation plane, a monster wave was forming in his Life Palace. There seemed to be a shadow of ancient God standing in front of him in the illusory world.

The endless characters and runes flooded his Life Palace as well. At this moment, the World Tree was transformed into a towering Divine Tree and created a new world. As Ye Futian sat down under the tree, his face appeared in the new world as if he had been incorporated into it.

Ye Futian didn’t understand why this was happening. Nonetheless, the impact created by the collision of these two forces was earth-shattering. Ye Futian would not be able to withstand it if it happened inside his physical body. He might even be annihilated right away.

Fortunately, the clash occurred in his Life Palace.

The crowd witnessed an astonishing scene at this moment. Shenjia the Great Emperor’s body, which was inside the violently vibrating divine casket, slowly rose and was suspended in midair. Ye Futian’s body was completely enveloped in innumerable floating runes.

After that, the sacred remains moved forward in the direction of Ye Futian’s body.

“What is happening?” Everyone’s heart was pounding rapidly as they witnessed this scene.

Ye Futian resonated with the sacred remains of Shenjia the Great Emperor. Was he trying to snatch the sacred remains for himself now?

A beam of blinding light shot forth. Much to everyone’s astonishment, the sacred remains began to cling to Ye Futian’s body. Ye Futian seemed to be fully integrated with the runes, and the sacred remains of Shenjia the Great Emperor crept into Ye Futian’s body with the aid of the runes.

“This is…” A lot of people were dumbstruck. Not only did Ye Futian generate a resonance, but he was also integrating himself with the sacred remains of Shenjia the Great Emperor now.

Under everyone’s watch, Shenjia the Great Emperor’s body really maneuvered into Ye Futian’s body and disappeared. Ye Futian glowed with terrifying divine light with countless ancient characters engraved on his skin. It seemed that he had merged with the sacred remains of Shenjia the Great Emperor.

“Uh…”

Did he devour Shenjia the Great Emperor’s body?

The incessant rumbling noise hadn’t stopped. Even the Domain Chief was stopped in his tracks. The light screen released by him faded away as he lowered his head to look at Ye Futian.

What on earth just happened?

Why could Ye Futian merge with Shenjia the Great Emperor’s body? How was it possible for him to achieve that even if he could generate some kind of resonance?

The Domain Chief watched everything with his own eyes yet still couldn’t figure out how Ye Futian made it happen.

He gaped at the silver-haired man below and didn’t know how to handle the situation.

At this point, the intimidating pressure disappeared. The master cultivators all popped up in different directions and stepped forward while staring at Ye Futian from above with a grim look on their faces. Nonetheless, Ye Futian hadn’t woken up yet. He seemed to be cultivating still, a ferocious noise coming out of his body.

One person proceeded toward Ye Futian. It was Old Ma. He certainly understood that Ye Futian was in a dangerous situation and was very likely to be attacked right now. After all, Ye Futian had consumed the sacred remains of Shenjia the Great Emperor, which every master cultivator hankered after.

If Ye Futian really consumed it for himself, these mighty figures would never take it lying down. They would definitely gang up on Ye Futian.

Old Ma had a bad feeling. The situation didn’t look rosy for Ye Futian.

However, none of them knew that Ye Futian had no command over what just happened. He didn’t intend to consume the sacred remains of Shenjia the Great Emperor at all. On the contrary, Shenjia the Great Emperor chose to attach his body to Ye Futian.

Ye Futian was suffering tremendous pain right now and couldn’t extricate himself from the situation.

“Domain Chief, the Donghuang Imperial Palace placed the sacred remains of Shenjia the Great Emperor here so everyone in the Shangqing Domain could cultivate with it. How should we deal with this now?” the clan leader of the Nanhai family asked. He certainly would not let Ye Futian take Shenjia the Great Emperor’s body away.

None of them achieved any real comprehension. How could they let Ye Futian be the sole beneficiary?

On top of that, Ye Futian used the power of the sacred remains to break the bonds of the cultivation plane and advanced to the sixth order.

“Domain Chief, Shenjia the Great Emperor’s body was bestowed on the Shangqing Domain by the Donghuang Imperial Palace to facilitate cultivation. Everyone here saw with their eyes that Ye Futian was the only one who could comprehend the sacred remains ever since the divine mausoleum was built. He even generated a resonance with Shenjia the Great Emperor just now. In this case, why don’t we help him succeed? Ye Futian is cultivating in Four Corner Village and should be treated as a member of the Shangqing Domain as well,” Old Ma lifted his chin and said. Although his voice was flat, he was secretly worried that Ye Futian would be in grave danger.

“Who said that we didn’t comprehend anything?” someone refuted, “Moreover, the sacred remains were bestowed on the Shangqing Domain by the Donghuang Imperial Palace. How can he keep it to himself?”

The tension was palpable in the divine mausoleum.

Old Ma stood by Ye Futian’s side and looked around to scan the crowd. Suddenly, a forceful spatial storm formed and opened a Door of Space in the void.

“Watch out. He is running away,” someone said coldly.

Before the voice faded, Old Ma pulled Ye Futian and stepped across a Door of Space.

Many people turned to the Domain Chief, surprised that he didn’t intervene.

Nonetheless, the clan leader of the Nanhai family and Overlord Shangyu both rushed forward with their arms outstretched. They pulled the Door of Space open and followed Old Ma and Ye Futian over there.

Other master cultivators also left the divine mausoleum right away to chase after them. On the other hand, many cultivators stared at the rest of the people from Four Corner Village with a malevolent look on their faces.

“This is solely about the sacred remains. We should not implicate innocent people,” Duan Tianxiong from the ancient royal family of Duan spoke up. Other people had no choice but to drop the idea of attacking the cultivators from Four Corner Village.

“Let’s go to the Four Corner Continent,” Duan Tianxiong said. He waved his hand at the crowd.

With Zhou Muhuang by his side, the Domain Chief gazed at the place where Ye Futian and Old Ma had disappeared. No one could figure out what he was thinking.

“Let’s go to the Four Corner Continent,” said the Domain Chief. They immediately left the divine mausoleum as well.

Although Old Ma and Ye Futian escaped through the Door of Space, they had nowhere else but Four Corner Village to go. They were watched and chased by so many master cultivators from various top forces. There was no way for them to get out of their clutches straight away.

Before long, the divine mausoleum was swept by the terrifying energy currents. All the mighty figures from top forces left the area in long strides. Other famous cultivators pulled out soon as well.

Countless cultivators outside of the divine mausoleum stared blankly at the vacated spot where the divine casket used to be. Everything changed so fast that it almost felt surreal. No one had ever thought that this would happen when the divine mausoleum was built not so long ago.

Ye Futian took the sacred remains away.

Nevertheless, Ye Futian couldn’t really steal Shenjia the Great Emperor’s body under the master cultivators’ watch. The mighty figures in the Shangqing Domain would skin him alive if he integrated himself with the sacred remains for real.

…

Bursts of horrifying energy sprung up in the sky above Four Corner City. With a loud bang, the entire city quaked violently. The Light Screen of Space that Old Ma set up to surround Four Corner City shattered at once as tremendous might pressing upon the city. Beams of blinding light pierced through the void, heading directly toward Four Corner Village.

“Are you going to get the entire Four Corner Village into trouble?” a cold and intimidating voice rang out. More pressure came from the sky and overwhelmed the city.

Every cultivator inside Four Corner City was trembling in fear at this moment. What on earth happened?

Didn’t the Domain Chief summon the extraordinary cultivators to the Shangqing Continent, located in the Upper Nine Heavens?

Why did Old Ma flee back with formidable enemies chasing after him?

The scary divine light shot directly into Four Corner Village and disappeared. More and more people arrived and surrounded Four Corner City. That being said, the master cultivators didn’t really set foot inside the village. Instead, they stayed in midair and watched the village from above.

Old Ma couldn’t break free since they had trapped him here already.

Even so, they still held reverence for the master in Four Corner Village. Therefore, none of them were willing to be the first one to barge into the village. They wanted to wait for other people to step up.

A succession of powerful cultivators arrived in the sky above Four Corner City. It was obvious that there were even more on the way. Everyone in the city was shaking in their shoes.

What on earth just happened?

Four Corner Village would be obliterated with so many hostile cultivators if these people decided to launch an attack.

Besides, it was apparent that they were enemies who came with malicious intent.

A lot of confused people were eager for an answer. The people who migrated to Four Corner City from Outer Realms were especially worried since they would be affected the most if Four Corner City was destroyed.

In addition, they didn’t know if the master cultivators would choose to fight right over their heads.

The entire city would be flattened if a battle broke out here.
