Chapter 2182: G.o.d’s Power

The sacred remains had opened their eyes!

All the cultivators trembled inside, their eyes unable to move away from the corpse of Shenjia the Great Emperor.

These sacred remains seemed to have been resurrected, surrounded by countless divine lights. A series of characters appeared next to the body of Shenjia the Great Emperor, blooming with dazzling divine splendor.

“How can it be!”

Those major figureheads fixed their attention on the body of Shenjia the Great Emperor, perturbed by the implications. All of them had personally tried to comprehend the sacred remains. They were, therefore, keenly aware of the terror that contained within it. Control issues aside, they couldn’t even comprehend it.

But now, the sacred remains seemed to have resurrected and were being controlled by someone else.

The wisps of aura that permeated from Four Corner Village dispelled any doubts that the person who controlled the body of Shenjia the Great Emperor was the teacher from Four Corner Village.

“Since the sacred remains were given to the Shangqing Domain by the Imperial Palace and taken by Ye Futian. From this day forward, they belong to Ye Futian. If the Domain Chief’s Manor of the Shangqing Domain and other forces have any doubts, you may come and try to seize the sacred remains, or you may go to the imperial palace and ask the Great Emperor himself.” A quiet and ethereal voice was heard; it made everyone’s hearts beat wildly.

Those who disagreed may come and fight for it or go to the imperial palace to ask Donghuang the Great.

What that calm voice expressed was tremendous confidence; it was a confidence that the Great Emperor himself would have agreed with his declaration.

The Great Emperor had once come to Four Corner Village to issue an injunction, prohibiting major figureheads outside from setting foot on the Four Corner Continent, further prohibiting outside cultivators from harming the villagers inside. It was easy to see that the Great Emperor was partial to Four Corner Village. Coupled with the words just spoken by the teacher, it was almost certain that the teacher personally knew Donghuang the Great.

And this had been before Donghuang the Great had his current standing, at a time when he was still just a Renhuang.

They didn’t know how far back they went, but the teacher seemed absolutely confident in what he said.

Beneath Four Corner Mountain, countless cultivators in Four Corner City looked over and heard what the teacher said. The voice couldn’t be more tranquil but seemed to contain unparalleled confidence and strength.

On this day, the cultivators from the Shangqing Domain intended to lay siege upon Four Corner Village. Did the teacher intend to destroy the enemy by himself?

All of them recalled the rumors that circulated about the teacher.

Suddenly, on the Four Corner Mountain, there was an extreme sense of oppression. All those figureheads stared at the body of Shengjia the Great Emperor and wondered, could the teacher truly and completely control the body of Shengjia the Great Emperor?

“Even though the teacher and the Great Emperor had a history together, the corpse of Shengjia the Great Emperor was given to Shangqing Domain, and it is not up to the teacher to decide to whom it belongs.” An indifferent voice was now heard, and it was the Great Elder of the Demon Cloud, who was exuding a terrifying aura. A horrifying demon cloud appeared behind him like some phantom of a demon G.o.d, suppressing this corner of the world.

Boom!

Like an ancient demon G.o.d of bygone ages, a mighty power erupted from him, summoning a frightening spear of the demon G.o.d, covering the sky and the sun, piercing the void. A black track was left in the firmament, stabbing down at the sacred remains from high above the sky.

Bang! An astonis.h.i.+ng sound came out, and a frightening aura swept across the sky toward the vast area far away. The Demon G.o.d’s spear pierced the body of Shengjia the Great Emperor. It seemed as if it had penetrated the body, and its terrifying destructive power attempted to tear open everything in its path.

However, to everyone’s shock, they discovered that the golden body of Shenjia the Great Emperor was no longer flesh and blood but was instead a divine body transformed by infinite characters. A dreadful power firmly locked onto that spear of the demon G.o.d and started to destroy it little by little.

“This…” The hearts of many were beating erratically. Such a horrific attack did not affect the sacred remains, for the remains were no longer an ordinary physical body but now an immortal and indestructible divine form.

The Great Elder of the Demon Cloud saw this and realized it was useless to deal with the sacred remains directly. He stretched out his palm and made a grabbing motion toward where Ye Futian was, wanting to take down Ye Futian first.

An overwhelming mighty power descended on Ye Futian, and he felt as if he was suffocating to death.

However, at this time, a figure appeared in front of Ye Futian, and it was the body of Shenjia the Great Emperor. The infinite divine brilliance of the ancient characters was released from his body, drowning the void and this corner of the sky with ever dazzling divine light. The crowd saw characters flying out towards the heavens.

“Be careful.” Everyone’s expression revealed shock. It was as if they had entered a spatial tunnel, and those characters were like invisible waves that brought everyone into the world of another s.p.a.ce.

Ye Futian and the others disappeared. Only the cultivators from all sides were still here, and of course, the body of the Shenjia the Great Emperor.

The sight caused the hearts of many to tremble violently, and they could hear their own hearts thumping. Even though they were major figureheads, they felt an indescribable dread at the moment. Looking at the body of the Shenjia the Great Emperor, they seemed to perceive the resurrection of a G.o.d.

What’s more terrifying was that when immeasurable divine glory enveloped this s.p.a.ce, they saw an extremely sacred figure. It was a giant, transformed by the body of Shenjia the Great Emperor, and they seemed to be inside his body.

Was this the Domain of the G.o.ds?

Who was the teacher, and why could he control the body of Shenjia the Great Emperor to this degree?

The Great Elder of Demon Cloud saw the body walking towards him, turning into a ray of light as Shenjia the Great Emperor raised his palm, slamming towards him. He was surrounded by ancient characters as supreme as the heavens, overwhelming the world they were in.

The Great Elder of Demon Cloud felt a strong sense of threat. He roared, and suddenly, a terrifying demon G.o.d appeared. This demon G.o.d had a black golden divine light s.h.i.+ning all over him, looking invincible. Loud booming sounds came out as the great palm print turned into the sky above, slammed down for the kill.

The demon G.o.d’s palms reached toward the sky, wanting to lift it up. But when that palm print of the G.o.d fell, it intended to crush everything. The demon G.o.d roared and screamed, but his body was bent under the weight of that palm nonetheless.

Boom! With that noise, the demon G.o.d’s knees crumbled as terrifying rumbling sounds were heard. His body was continuously bursting. The Great Elder of the Demon Cloud was pale as blood came out of his mouth. He pleaded, “Teacher, please have mercy!”

With a loud boom, the palm print slammed down, knocking the Great Elder of the Demon Cloud into the far distance.

Every one of the major figureheads that were around panicked. They were the highest existence in Shangqing Domain, standing at the peak of cultivation. There were not many who could compare to them in the entire Divine Prefecture.

However, at this moment, in front of the body of Shenjia the Great Emperor, they seemed to be facing a giant G.o.d, a true G.o.d that was utterly unshakable.

The body of Shenjia the Great Emperor looked to the other side, and his eyes pierced directly into the eyes of the clan leader of the Nanhai Family. He said, “For making a move against the youngsters of Four Corner Village, this palm strike is for you.”

When his voice fell, the eyes of Shenjia the Great Emperor closed as infinite characters rushed into his consciousness. It was just like he was before when he watched the sacred remains.

Numerous palm prints appeared, covering the sky and obscuring the sun, like the giant handprint of the G.o.d. The head of the Nanhai family roared in anger, and his palms slapped forward. However, the body of Shenjia the Great Emperor rushed forward as infinite ancient characters turned into countless divine lights. With a loud bang, the giant handprint with terrifying attack power was pulverized into nothing. The body of Shengjia the Great Emperor penetrated it, completely ignoring that terrible attack.

Everyone around realized that the divine light inside Shenjia the Great Emperor could destroy all Ways. This corpse was the corpse of the G.o.ds, therefore transcended the scope of ordinary corpses. The sacred remains contained the power of Shenjia the Great Emperor when he was alive. They were capable of breaking the Great Path.

Once this corpse was controlled, it would be as if the power of the resurrection of G.o.ds was in hand. How terrifying would that power be?

No one could stop it.

The divine body of Shenjia the Great Emperor unleashed a punch strong enough to smash everything. The blast landed on the body of the clan leader of the Nanhai Family, piercing his physical body. The terrifying force now rushed inside his body as the clan leader couldn’t stop the blood coming out of his mouth. He was expelled directly out of this spatial world, which was completely shattered.

Cultivators from the outside could see into the void again. They saw the Great Elder of the Demon Cloud madly vomiting blood. The aura of the clan leader of the Nanhai Family was greatly weakened. His body was punched through, and he was wounded by the Great Path.

The rest of the cultivators stood in different positions, and all of them trembled. Even though they were major figures, they stood there with dread and anxiety. They had never faced such a situation before and never even thought that there would be an existence so great that it could make them so desperate.

“Do any of you have any more comments?” Shenjia the Great Emperor uttered again, and everyone was silent. In the cultivation world, strength would always reign first. Shenjia the Great Emperor could destroy all of them right here, right now; what more opinion could they possibly have?

Zhou Muhuang trembled inside when he saw everything that had happened, and he was greatly unsettled by what he saw. No one would have thought that the teacher could control the corpse of the Shengjia the Great Emperor and explode with such power.

Today, the siege laid upon Four Corner Village by all these cultivators was destined to be in vain.

“The teacher’s cultivation is superb. If you claimed the sacred remains, then let it stay here. The Domain Chief’s Manor will report to the imperial palace, and I will bid my goodbye presently,” said Zhou Muhuang as he put his hands together. What else could he do?

The rest of the major players turned to leave with great disturbance in their hearts. This incident had shown them just how fearsome Four Corner Village was now.

It seemed that the rise of Four Corner Village was a foregone conclusion, as there was n.o.body who could stop its ascendance. The cruel strike that the teacher meted out to the clan leader of the Nanhai Family just now must have meant as a lesson.

Among the crowd, probably only Muyun Lan had the most conflicted feelings. When he was young, he was a student taught by the teacher, seeking the Way under his tutelage. This time he came as the enemy of the Four Corner Village. When he thought about the times he spent here as a youth, he was filled with emotion. Even though he knew the teacher was strong, he never expected that it was to this scope.

“Teacher,” Muyun Lan called out.

“You have chosen your own path. Follow it,” an ethereal voice replied, and Muyun Lan was slightly stunned. He then bowed slightly in reverence and turned to walk away!
