The Legend of Futian

Chapter 2639: Severed Arm

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

A complete imperial arm that possessed the will of the great emperor was already a rarity in this world, but even more rare was a person who was in complete control of it.

At present, besides Donghuang the Great, Wang Xiao seemed to be the only person in the Divine Prefecture who was in possession of complete imperial arms and could control it.

This is because the Wang Clan of Tianyan City was the heir of Tianyan the Great, and Tianyan the Great was the Great Emperor in armoring. He had not completely disappeared, which was why this opportunity fell on Wang Xiao. Because of this, the City Lord of Tianyan spared nothing in training up Wang Xiao to push him to the uppermost position because he had high hopes for him.

Mo Qingge, the Evil Sage of Empty Divine realm, was an expert in powerful space Great Path, who had already attained the realm of near-deity. Only after taking that step was he willing to come here to confront Wang Xiao like this. Anyone else who was not so good at the ability of space Great Path would not dare to do so.

After all, under the prowess of any frontal attack, among the Devil World, the Empty Divine Realm, and the Dark World, only the Premiere Demon Sage, Yan Guiyi alone was able to face Wang Xiao with the imperial arms.

However, Fang Ru was no schmuck. As an existence of near-deity from the Divine Prefecture, he was able to keep Yan Guiyi occupied.

At this moment, this vast space seemed distorted, as the entire space was shuttling and moving somewhere, and it was the same around Wang Xiao. He knew that Mo Qingge was taking him away from the battlefield here. The space he was in right now was Mo Qingge’s Great Path domain and not the space they were in originally.

However, Wang Xiao didn’t mind it. By staying away from this area, he could use the imperial arms to attack without reservation.

The Sky Tremoring in his hand released waves upon waves of astonishing fluctuations that spread towards the surrounding heaven and earth. It covered all the areas, and nothing was left out from any of the six sides. Previously on the battlefield, he had not dared to attack with his full strength.

But right now, there were no such concerns.

“Let me see if you are fast than the attack of the Sky Tremoring is wider,” Wang Xiao challenged. Under the attack of the Sky Tremoring, an unknown vast radius was covered within, which penetrated the boundless space. He was curious to see just how those two intended to hide from that.

The imperial phantom appeared as the divine might overwhelmed this space. Wang Xiao seemed to have integrated with the god in heaven as he raised the Sky Tremoring, unleashing extremely terrifying shockwaves upon shockwaves; they seemed infinite and endless. His body whirled around slightly as the divine hammer was sent out in the rotation.

The attack this time was not targeted in any one direction but aimed at all directions, forming a spherical shockwave that started rolling towards all positions. A dull thud came out of the space, and even cracks begin to appear and create a terrifying scene. It was as if the space was terribly unstable, collapsing as it was being destroyed and shattered.

In two different positions, a similar scene repeated itself. Mo Qingge and Ye Futian backed up at the same time, and doors of space appeared behind them. Each door of space was far from the other. And after passing through the doors, again and again, they managed to retreat to somewhere far away.

But even so, the shockwave of destruction pursued them, and wherever it passed, all life perished. Occasionally, some random cultivators were touched by the shockwaves. They happened to pass through the void, unaware. Their bodies were immediately shattered and vaporized; they didn’t even know how they had met their end.

In the area below, there was a continent of the Divine Prefecture. When the attack came down, countless cultivators on the continent were wiped out. The whole continent shuddered violently and was broken open by the shock. In a flash, numerous cultivators perished just like that.

This was because the distance was extremely far away, and the offensive power had weakened a little. Otherwise, the result might have been much worse.

Ye Futian had already retreated to a remote area. He glanced at the continent below and saw that tragic outcome. There was a disturbance in his heart; the destructive power of the Imperial arms was too terrifying. One attack from Wang Xiao had resulted in numerous casualties.

Moreover, Mo Qingge the Evil Sage probably had already thought of it a long time ago, but why would he care? The continent under attack was the Divine Prefecture, and those who were killed were cultivators from the Divine Prefecture, killed by Wang Xiao no less. He must have felt it had nothing to do with him.

Where Wang Xiao was, he stood there without moving. Those horrific fluctuations had already dissipated, but he didn’t know what happened to Mo Qingge and Ye Futian. Was such a massive attack enough to overpower both of them?

Could they have escaped it?

“Huh?” At this moment, Wang Xiao’s brows were knit tightly together. He felt the onslaught of danger, and he couldn’t help but clench the Sky Tremoring in his hand.

He couldn’t detect either of them, neither could he lock onto them with his divine consciousness.

Regardless of his awesome offensive power, his opponents were unpredictable, and they were equally untraceable. This was an incredibly uncomfortable feeling.

It was impossible for him to keep attacking nonstop with the imperial arms. This kind of large-scale attack was not just exhausting to him, but if he couldn’t actually hit any of them, then continued attacks would just be an exercise in futility. The others could always come back after he wore himself out.

“Evil Sage of the Empty Divine Realm and the Palace Lord of Ziwei Imperial Palace. Two top figures of the world but acting in a cowardly manner?” Wang Xiao said coldly.

“Put away the imperial arms, and you can pick either one of us at your pleasure,” a voice replied; it was Mo Qingge.

Leveraging the imperial arms was the real cheat. How terrifying was the increase of combat effectiveness with the aid of complete imperial arms?

Without the imperial arms, Wang Xiao, at most, could only be considered as a peak cultivator on the battlefield, but not a peak-level giant. However, with the imperial arms by his side, he lorded above all.

“Mo Qingge is here,” Wang Xiao secretly noted to himself. He spoke first because he wanted to fish them out. Now, he was certain that Mo Qingge was in the surrounding area, hiding somewhere in the space. Ye Futian, on the other hand, was nowhere to be found.

Buzz! At this moment, Wang Xiao felt that the area he was in had solidified, and everything was on the verge of coming to a complete still. The terrifying divine light of space shrouded his entire body. At the same time, the unparalleled divine glory of space rained down from the firmament as every ray of divine light in the space turned into a sharp blade that could kill everything. It came straight down at him.

Just ahead of him, Mo Qingge’s figure appeared, and behind him, doors of space appeared once again. Before they had even collided, he was already planning his way out. After all, Wang Xiao had the imperial arms, so he better have a way to retreat, just in case.

Seeing the endless divine glory descending, the Sky Tremoring in Wang Xiao’s hand blasted into the void, and a storm of destruction suddenly washed over everything. It shattered the sealed space and destroyed everything in front of them. But almost at the same instant, Mo Qingge’s finger pointed forward.

The finger continued to magnify in Wang Xiao’s eyes. It seemed as if it was a strike from the heavenly gods. Before the attack had even landed, he could feel its incredibly destructive power.

“You are asking for it!” Wang Xiao secretly remarked. Mo Qingge dared to attack close to him, and this attack was not some elusive attack made up of smoke and mirrors but a bona fide attack. If that was the case, Mo Qingge must withstand his counterattack. Even if he had arranged a way out, he was taking a tremendous risk.

Without any hesitation, the Sky Tremoring blasted forward towards that finger, as Wang Xiao dared not take Mo Qingge’s attack lightly. The hammer fell and turned into a stormy shockwave that flattened everything before him. If Mo Qingge was as bold as this, then let him pay the price.

“Kill!” The Sky Tremoring lashed out with a supreme and overbearing power to attack, intending to kill with one blow.

The instant his attack fell, he suddenly sensed an extremely dangerous aura behind him. But at this moment, Wang Xiao couldn’t care less. A thought flashed through his mind.

His immortal divine body was enough to hold off Ye Futian’s attacks, not to mention the increased defense from the imperial arms. The divine glory of the great emperor was protecting him, and it was impossible for Ye Futian to kill him. Wang Xiao needed to get rid of one of them and then deal with the other.

This blow would be a great opportunity to kill Mo Qingge.

Just as he thought, when the Sky Tremoring fell, that finger shattered and pulverized. In a head-on collision, Mo Qingge could not be outperformed by Wang Xiao. The terrific shockwaves swept past in a flash, and everything was gone.

Mo Qingge’s body turned into an afterimage and withdrew. It was as if he had been knocked back into that door of space.

When he passed through a door of space, it was washed over by the shockwave and promptly destroyed in the next instant.

One after the other, those doors of space lit up all at the same time, then extinguished at the same time. The sight was extremely breathtaking. In that instant, it seemed that everything had disappeared into nothing and returned to quietude. If Mo Qingge had been hit by the imperial arms when he passed through each door of space, the strength of it would have seriously injured him if not kill him outright.

Boom… At this moment, Wang Xiao shuddered involuntarily as a terrifying divine sword came for him from behind, destroying his defensive power. It managed to impact the divine body, and countless ruinous lights from the runes lit up to submerge that divine body. Divine swords fell down all at once, covering the sky and the sun so that even the phantom of the great emperor was drowned by that divine sword.

Those terrifying divine swords pierced Wang Xiao’s back, head, arms, legs, and waist. There was no part of him that was spared.

“Ah!” A hoarse roar sounded, and Wang Xiao fell. But his arm holding the Sky Tremoring lit up with a most brilliant light.

But almost at the same instant, Wang Xiao was entirely submerged and buried as the divine sound of the Great Path lingered in his ears, shattering his converging consciousness. At the same time, the divine power of Yin invaded, and everything was quieted and stilled. Wang Xiao had no chance to rest at all, having been blasted by a series of attacks time and time again.

They were not only aimed toward Wang Xiao’s physical body but also his spiritual soul and consciousness.

Under the icy seal of the divine power of Yin, all the powers of the Great Path were inevitably weakened as they were corroded by the power of Yin. If they were not sufficient, they would directly turn into dust. Wang Xiao’s divine body was like a divine arm that was not corroded but frozen. Furthermore, the power of the invading power of Yin weakened his defenses.

A brilliant divine light illuminated as another brilliant sword light slashed down, cutting through the space. A loud noise boomed. Wang Xiao’s arm, which was holding the Sky Tremoring, was chopped off. The severed arm fell towards the space below, but the divine light on the Sky Tremoring was still as brilliant as ever.

Powerful fluctuations diffused from the Sky Tremoring as if it was still trying to establish a connection with Wang Xiao. However, the space altered as the stars shifted. Ye Futian took Wang Xiao, and both disappeared.

He knew that these imperial arms belonged to Tianyan City and had a will of its own; it was not so easy to handle. If he wanted to kill Wang Xiao, he must first cut off his connection with the imperial arms.

Just when Ye Futian was leaving, Mo Qingge appeared. He was staring at that severed arm and the imperial arms, and there were traces of blood on his body. His breath was shallow, indicating that he had been injured. It was Ye Futian who had spoken to him via voice transmission just now, asking for a chance to attack, and Mo Qingge chose to believe him.

Ye Futian, he had done it!
