The Legend of Futian

Chapter 2630: The Battlefield

In the North Cliff Region, the battle of the six realms covered an area of several continents.

The coalition forces, headed by the Devil World and supplemented by the Dark World and the Empty Divine Realm, had very nearly captured all of the Northern Cliff Region. Nowadays, the Northern Cliff Region in the Divine Prefecture was in a fallen state.

Right this moment, the army, as led by the Devil World, was stationed on a continent at the edge of the Northern Cliff Region. On the bordering continent, there was an army led by the Divine Prefecture, aided by the Human Realm and the World of Buddhism.

At this moment, above a continent somewhere, Ye Futian appeared. He looked down and surveyed the vast landmass beneath him. There were unknown numbers of cultivators as far as the eyes could see. Powerful cultivators were stationed everywhere.

The exact number of cultivators in the six realms was unknown. During times of peace, they were everywhere. But now, they had gathered together at the time of war and formed a massive group with unimaginable prowess.

During Ye Futian’s travel in the sky above, he had passed through some continents and saw they were greatly devastated. Some continents were completely destroyed by acts of war. In many places, corpses littered everywhere. Many cultivators had perished.

At any given time in history, a war at this scale would inevitably have such a result, with considerable loss of lives and dire consequences.

Ye Futian continued moving forward. The further he went, the closer he was to the heart of the battlefield, and the cultivation of the army was greater. In fact, a war on this scale was more about competing with the forces on the top. If top-level cultivators could secure an absolute advantage, then the matter of winning could more easily be determined.

Cultivators below the realm of Renhuang weren’t actually very useful. Therefore, the armies were mostly made up of Renhuang cultivators. Under the command of Donghuang Imperial Palace, there were several legions of Renhuang that dominated the army. In truth, their existence had always been in preparation for war.

Although the Divine Prefecture had been quiet for hundreds of years, war was never very far from their minds.

When the two sides first began to clash, they both exercised reservations. Those cultivators above the realm of Renhuang would not indiscriminately kill those in the Renhuang realm; it was a battle of equals. Top figures would only engage other top figures, while the army of Renhuang would only fight with Renhuang cultivators.

But as the battle grew more fierce, the situation on the battlefield began to change. Today’s war had gotten more radicalized. Both sides had begun to carry out large-scale slaughters, and the top figures were beginning their sweeps.

In the several engagements previously, many cultivators had already perished.

Most of those who perished were by the hands of The Reaper from the Dark Court and Wang Xiao from Tianyan City. Their killing sprees were simply a materialization of madness.

With a single thought, The Reaper could turn an infinite space into the dead zone. A single blow from Wang Xiao’s imperial arms could penetrate an entire continent. It was inconceivable just how destructive their powers were.

Ye Futian moved along the battlefield at an extremely fast speed. He saw many places in a state of destruction, and some continents were even broken into pieces. In the heat of the battle, even the continents had collapsed.

As he continued to move forward and came to the forefront of this continent, he could see that the cultivation of the cultivators there were much stronger and surmised that they ought to be the cultivators at the core of the battle. At this moment, both sides seemed to be at a truce and in the process of regrouping.

After all, no one could endure endless battles.

A series of divine consciousness swept over Ye Futian, and many powerful figures appeared in the ground below.

“Who is it?!” Someone’s voice rang in Ye Futian’s ears, just as Ye Futian’s divine consciousness swept toward the other as well without too much scruple. In today’s world, there were not many who could surpass him in ability. Even if they could defeat him head-on, they may not be able to keep up with him in guerrilla tactics.

His divine consciousness also swept toward the others. In one territory, there were many top cultivators there, and even some who possessed terrifying auras. Every one of them had extraordinary temperament with equally extraordinary origin.

Buzz! Several people appeared high in the sky, directly blocking Ye Futian’s path forward. Each of these people had a powerful aura and stared at Ye Futian as they asked him, “Which side are you from?”

Ye Futian revealed a strange look. There were not many who did not recognize him.

These people did not seem to be from the Divine Prefecture.

Ignoring the question, Ye Futian took a step forward and disappeared from where he was. The other’s face suddenly changed, revealing a look of surprise. Did he just leave like that?

“It’s Ye Futian.” A middle-aged man with extraordinary temperament said, “I didn’t think he would come to the battlefield.”

“The first man of the Original Realm?” a young man asked. Obviously, they knew of Ye Futian. Now, in the land of the six realms, of all the top-level figures, there were few, if any, who did not know who Ye Futian was.

“Yes, it is unexpected for him to be here at the battlefield. But, what is he doing here on the battlefield?” the person who just spoke asked with curiosity.

“Because of the battle of the six realms, the Original Realm is temporarily out of the play. Why does he bother coming over here instead of cultivating there in peace?” the young man smiled and replied. Now that no one had the time to pay attention to the Original Realm, shouldn’t Ye Futian seize this opportunity and focus on improving his strength?

“It has nothing to do with us. If Wang Xiao knew that he was here, he would want to kill him. However, Ye Futian cultivates Buddha’s Celerity; it is not a sure thing whether he can be caught or not.”

Just as Ye Futian suspected, these people were not cultivators from the Divine Prefecture but powerful cultivators from the Human Realm. They may not have recognized Ye Futian at first, but given time, they all caught on.

Ye Futian’s figure appeared in another space as he continued moving forward above the battlefield. But, at this moment, he faintly felt that someone was spying on him, and his brows knitted together slightly. Then a voice was heard saying, “Benefactor Ye, it’s been a long time.”

As his divine consciousness made the scan, Ye Futian looked in a direction quite a ways away and saw a group of cultivators somewhere far from him. Yonder, there was a sacred light of auspices as the Light of Buddha gleamed. Among them, there were several acquaintances Ye Futian recognized.

The person who spoke, surprisingly, was Tongchan Arhat. Not far from him, Shenyan Arhat was also present. His eyes turned into a golden color, and the Light of Buddha was shining and penetrating through the space as he directed his gaze at Ye Futian.

By now, the cultivation of these two Arhats was very profound as well, as they had both survived the First Divine Tribulation of the Great Path. They were now considered existences at the level of the Great Buddhas.

In another direction, there were a few more terrifying Buddha Lords. Among them, there were Tongchan Buddha Lord and Shenyan Buddha Lord.

At that time, Ye Futian had come into contact with many Buddha Lords in the Western World of Buddhism and had gotten to know their personalities very well. It was not surprising that these two Buddha Lords would come here to join the fight. Compared to these two Buddha Lords, Wutian Buddha Lord and Tianyin Buddha Lord were more in line with Buddhist philosophy and were more friendly towards him.

“Greetings to the Buddha Lords,” Ye Futian said across the air but did not salute them. He merely put his hands together, which was regarded as a sign of respect to Buddhism. He never had a good feeling about these two Buddhas. Especially when he left Spirit Mountain, chased by Zhenchan, he highly suspected these two Buddha Lords were involved in it as well. Shenyan Buddha Lord, in particular, had even spied on his comings and goings with his divine dyes and helped Saint Zhenchan to hunt him.

Nevertheless, he would not be so foolish as to start fighting with them now. After all, he did have a relationship with the World of Buddhism. The Lord of All Buddhas, as well as several other Buddha Lords, had been kind to him and taught him Buddhist methods.

This war that had ensnared the six realms had reached so many cultivators at the top. Except for the principalities of the Divine Prefecture, the World of Buddhism and the Human Realm had dispatched their high-level cultivators here. Of course, there were also the Dark World and the Empty Divine Realm to consider!
