The Legend of Futian

Chapter 2181: Sacred Remains Eyes Opened

Fang Gai, Blind Tie, Fang Huan, Shi Kui, and other cultivators stepped forward as they came to Ye Futian’s side, one by one. At the same time, the pressure from all major principalities descended in the space.

In a moment, a terrifying coercion hovered above Four Corner Village.

Moreover, as the head of each major principality directed their glance at the crowd, many of them realized something significant—the strength of Four Corner Village was indeed awesome. The cultivators surrounding Ye Futian were Upper Renhuang with perfect Great Paths who could almost compete with the top enchanting figures from the Shangqing Domain.

They even had a thought that since today’s confrontation would result in a grudge with Four Corner Village, it would be better to…

Now that Four Corner Village was trying to protect Ye Futian with all their might, it provided the excuse they need to get rid of this anomaly in the Shangqing Domain.

In the void, an extremely radiant Picture of the Domineering Golden Roc

appeared, covering the sky and obscuring the sun. Fang Gai yelled, “Muyun Lan, so you’re finally attacking the village?”

“We have to take this man with us,” Muyun Lan said loud and clear in the void. He stood there in arrogance. As his voice faded, the brilliant divine wings of the golden-winged roc, that were trembling behind him, turned into sharp blades and slashed down as if to bisect the space.

Fang Gai snorted coldly as he stepped forward, blocking the position where Muyun Lan had struck. When the terrifying Divine Wing of the golden roc chopped down in front of him, they could not touch his body and were stymied by an incredible power. This was his absolute domain.

All the other powerful cultivators also took action. With Blind Tie and the others guarded the area around him, each manning a position. A massive ancient god appeared, swinging his hammer towards the sky to smash the void.

Therefore, a majestic sight appeared in the sky above Four Corner Village. It was as if there were ancient gods protecting Ye Futian.

Ye Futian, standing in the middle, was warmed to his core when he saw what they were doing. This incident was entirely an accident and not intentional; he did not expect to bring this crisis upon Four Corner Village.

If it couldn’t be resolved, he would have no choice but to go with them.

In the sky above, there was a magnificent vision behind a beautiful figure. It seemed that a statue of the Thousand-Hand Goddess appeared, and those palm prints madly overlapped and turned into a gigantic Goddess Seal, slamming towards Ye Futian.

This person was the daughter of the Nanhai Family—Nanhai Qianxue.

A bonfire of anger was burning inside Ye Futian’s heart. The first person to speak was the head of the Nanhai Family. The Muyun family had betrayed Four Corner Village for the Nanhai family, so the people who most wanted to move against the village were the cultivators from the Nanhai family.

Divine glory was flowing upon Ye Futian’s body as boundlessly radiant peacock divine wings now appeared behind him. A monstrous roar of the Great Path came out from inside of him. It was as if he had incarnated to a peerless divine body with a horrific aura.

Previously, he had already broken through to the Sixth Realm with a perfect Great Path. His body was now terrific after having undergone the transformation endowed by the sacred remains of Shenjia the Great Emperor. Coupled with the Divine Heart of the Peacock that was already inside of him, his own life force was incredibly vibrant. Instantly, a divine light swept out from him with piercing rays. Even an existence of the Seventh Realm, such as Nanhai Qianxue, felt an immediate threat of danger.

The power erupting from that body of the Great Path alone was no longer any lesser than hers.

Behind Ye Futian, radiant and divine peacock wings fluttered, their colorful divine light dazzled beyond words. In the next moment, Ye Futian’s body was gone in a flash as he went straight toward the gigantic handprint of the goddess, unleashed by Nanhai Qianxue. It left behind a brilliant divine glow in the sky. The momentum of its splendor was unstoppable.

“Watch out!” the clan leader of the Nanhai family let out a cry as he felt the power erupting from Ye Futian at this moment. At the same time, a strong pressure fell directly upon them. This was almost at the same moment when Ye Futian’s attack tore through Nanhai Qianxue’s handprint and smashed it into smithereens.

Without the slightest hesitation, his body continued rushing towards Nanhai Qianxue.

Nanhai Qianxue felt a brilliant peacock shadow swoop down, and a finger pointed at her. It turned into an infinite divine sword light, shattering all existence.

Boom! A Mark of the Earth now stood in front of Nanhai Qianxue, but when Ye Futian’s finger landed, everything was destroyed. Crackling sounds from an explosion were heard as Nanhai Qianxue’s body flew back. Ye Futian’s palm followed her and slammed down, wanting to take her down on the spot.

But at this moment, an unstoppable coercion fell upon Ye Futian, blasting him. This palm was like the power from the gods of heaven; even the firmament trembled violently as it landed on Ye Futian. Nothing was able to block this strike, and all of his defenses were immediately shattered.

Ye Futian’s body was knocked back instantly. His whole body shook as blood came out of his mouth, and his face was pale.

When he fell back after the blast, his eyes fixed at the figure high above the sky. The clan leader of the Nanhai Family had attacked him. The blow from a cultivator of this level was powerful beyond description. If Ye Futian’s own physical body were not already so strong, this blow would have pulverized all his internal organs.

A supple and gentle power supported Ye Futian’s body, as Old Ma appeared next to Ye Futian. His eyes swept towards the clan leader of the Nanhai family, who was in the void, said, “If you wanted to fight, then fight. Why wait until now?”

Everyone else stopped their fights subsequently. With such powerful characters in action, their battles were rather inconsequential.

The clan leader of the Nanhai Family glanced at Nanhai Qianxue. Ye Futian’s blow had caused a few blood streaks to appear on Nanhai Qianxue’s body. If he hadn’t intervened, Ye Futian would have been able to take Nanhai Qianxue down in a short time. His terrifying combat power frightened people like them.

“We have given Four Corner Village all due respect. If Four Corner Village still insists on getting involved, we will show no mercy.” The clan leader of the Nanhai Family ignored Old Ma but chose to threaten them coldly instead.

Old Ma raised his head to look into the void as the strong pressure came crashing down. Besides the clan leader of the Nanhai Family who acted, all the others were powerful existence standing at the peak of the Nine Heavens.

This was a pointless battle; Four Corner Village simply had no ability to resist these forces.

Ye Futian still had traces of blood at the corners of his mouth. His eyes were trained on the head of the Nanhai family as he said, “Old Ma, you guys go back.”

He knew he would not be going with these people; however, if they were determined to take him by force and had no way to resist, there was no need to involve the entire village.

Old Ma looked at Ye Futian. It was an obvious dilemma for him. He looked at Blind Tie and the others beside him and said, “Leave now, I will go with Futian.”

Since the village couldn’t be involved, the only option was for him to go with Ye Futian.

“None of you are going.” At this time, a voice came from Four Corner Village, which startled everyone. Old Ma turned his eyes in the direction of the village but saw no one. He only heard the voice.

As for whose voice it belonged to, it couldn’t be more clear.

“Teacher!” Old Ma called out, discernible respect in his voice.

Regardless of his level of cultivation, his respect for the teacher was from the heart. But given the predicament they were in today, perhaps even the teacher had no way of solving it.

All the other cultivators were also looking in the direction of the village. The head of the Nanhai Family and the others frowned slightly. Was the teacher finally going to intervene?

If so, it was even better.

Then, all of Four Corner Village could be captured in one go.

“It’s fine if you wanted the sacred remains, but why do you want to take away someone from the village? In that case, the sacred remains stay, and our people, too.” An elusive voice came out from inside the village, causing many people’s eyes to sharpen slightly.

What kind of arrogance was this?

For some reason, the people of Four Corner Village were electrified when they heard this voice. Their fists clenched tightly, and their blood was boiling hot.

The teacher was the patron saint of the village, but he was also someone from legends. He cared not for the daily affairs of the village, merely focusing on teaching the youngsters. As for the true strength of the teacher, it was something that only existed in ancient legends inside the village.

But no one knew just how strong the teacher actually was.

Before entering the cultivating world, several titans had visited Four Corner Village once, and after meeting the teacher, they recognized the status of Four Corner Village.

But they still had no idea how strong the teacher was.

And now was the teacher finally going to take action?

He had deemed that no one could leave the village and that the sacred remains would stay.

The clan leader of the Nanhai Family and other powerful cultivators felt his strong sense of confidence when they heard what he had to say. No one dared to be so arrogant in the face of top figures from all sides. No one in the Shangqing Domain dared to act like this, not even the Chief himself.

Now, this teacher from Four Corner Village was the first one to speak so irreverently.

“I’m afraid that even the teacher will not be able to keep it,” the clan leader of the Nanhai Family said.

“Do you want to try it?” the voice inside said again. Wisps of breath came out of Four Corner Village, trailing toward the corpse of Shenjia the Great Emperor.

This sightly surprised many present. They saw the brilliant light shining on the corpse of Shengjia the Great Emperor—the golden corpse that was floating in the air.

“What’s going on?” Everyone’s heart was beating violently; even those titans were concentrating their attention there. How could the teacher of Four Corner Village be able to control the corpse of Shenjia the Great Emperor?

Unless it was him who taught Ye Futian?

At this moment, everyone couldn’t help but remember some of those rumors concerning the teacher of Four Corner Village.

Hundreds of years ago, legend had it that the Great Emperor had once sought the Way and cultivated in this village.

Under the gaze of numerous eyes, that golden body floating in the void now stood up, erected in the sky. In the next moment, those frightening eyes suddenly opened!
