Chapter 2259: Imperial Realm?

Return to where you came from!

That simple sentence was seemingly imbued with unparalleled dominance. Evidently, the one controlling the body of Shenjia the Great Emperor was no longer Ye Futian. Just now, Ye Futian’s spiritual soul was already knocked back into his own flesh.

Another ace had taken over Shenjia the Great Emperor; it was the one who arrived from beyond the sky a moment before.

Powerhouses of the Divine Prefecture knew that only two people could control the body of Shenjia the Great Emperor. One of them was Ye Futian, and the other one was the master of Four Corner Village, the mysterious and powerful figure who shocked the aces in the battle at the Shangqing Domain’s Four Corner Village.

Evidently, the one who came was the master of Four Corner Village. Did he come from the Shangqing domain because he sensed what was happening?

“Master.” The villagers’ hearts were thumping rapidly. At such a crucial moment, the master had arrived like a G.o.d descending into the world.

In their knowledge, this was the first time the master had entered this world in a true sense.

Previously, in the battle where various forces of the Shangqing domain raided Four Corner Village, the master merely borrowed the body of Shenjia the Great Emperor to partake in the battle outside the village. However, this time, they had clearly witnessed the master arriving from beyond the clouds, descending upon this very location.

As they thought before, n.o.body knew the master’s background, nor did anyone know how powerful he was.

So, how strong was the master exactly?

Legend had it that the village encountered another catastrophe at an earlier time. Powerful beings forced their way into Four Corner Village and were repelled by the master. Subsequently, the Great Emperor issued a ban, and since then, n.o.body dared to enter Four Corner Village to cause trouble. This was all until the ban was breached, ultimately leading to the raid within the Shangqing domain.

But even during that time, n.o.body could see through the master’s power.

Then what about today?

The moment the master descended, it seemed as if his might enveloped the entire Heavenly Mandate Realm. Even when several superpowers who have gone through a level two divine tribulation arrived, the master still made them go back to where they came from.

Who was the master? What level was his Cultivation Base at?

Back then, why did the master tell them that they must not leave the village?

No one knew the answer. The master was probably the only person who knew.

The aces of the Heavenly Mandate Academy were already feeling helpless. However, little did they know that at this moment, an elder descended like a G.o.d and straightforwardly replaced Ye Futian, controlling the body of Shenjia the Great Emperor. Besides, looking at the reaction of some of the aces above the sky, they seemed afraid and were faintly shocked.

This person may be a super powerful existence.

A few top figures, including the Taichu Saint Emperor, were staring at the body of Shenjia the Great Emperor. At this very instant, things were much different from when they were facing Ye Futian. All of them were feeling an intense threat. The moment the gust of might descended, they already sensed that this powerhouse who came from beyond the clouds was more profound in terms of Cultivation Base having arrived at the unknown. However, they still could not determine if he was at “that” level.

But even if he were not there yet, he would also be infinitely close to it.

“Four Corner Village, master?” the Taichu Saint Emperor looked at the body of Shenjia the Great Emperor and asked. Every single person living in the area Donghuang the Great once barred, even those in the other realms, would have also heard of Four Corner Village. It was the mysterious master’s first appearance, in a sense. At this very moment, he lost the domineering confidence he had before.

This storm would perhaps venture towards a different outcome.

“Go back.” The master’s voice sounded once again. His voice was still extremely serene. However, in the midst of the peace and calm was confidence without compare as he asked these top powerhouses who arrived to return themselves.

The powerhouses in the void were, naturally, unwilling. They were still standing where they had been, exuding might that was horrifying to the extreme.

It seemed as if they wanted to give it a go.

The master naturally knew what they were thinking. The eyes of Shenjia the Great Emperor swept towards the Taichu Saint Emperor in the void. With only one glance, unceasing amounts of runes emerged above the skies and arranged themselves into a horrifying pattern, seemingly forming a realm of its own.

With this glance, the void did not crumble, nor did the Great Path crack. However, the original Great Path was seemingly replaced, morphing into a world of absolute s.p.a.ce. That was a picture—the Domineering Golden Peng Bird. A Golden-winged Giant Peng Bird of boundless sacredness split the world apart, annihilating all that existed.

The Taichu Saint Emperor’s face changed suddenly. He rushed into the sky with the intent to escape. However, his body could not seem to escape the realm. At the level of the Taichu Saint Emperor, a single stride of his could span across the infinite s.p.a.ce, traverse across realms, or even leave the Heavenly Mandate Domain altogether.

However, he could not escape the Domineering Golden Peng Bird.

In that picture world, the Golden-winged Giant Peng Bird went rampant across the skies. With one single blow, it razed all that existed. The crowd saw the Taichu Saint Emperor, who was fleeing, take a direct hit. He vomited blood from his mouth. The attack seemed unstoppable.

Everyone’s heart thumped violently. How could he…

The master’s once single glance was as powerful as the Taichu Saint Emperor. With just one single glance, people could not even escape.

What kind of level was that?

Between heaven and earth, everyone’s heartbeats could seemingly be heard. Top figures from the Dark World, Empty Divine Realm, Divine Prefecture, and the Original Realm of the Ziwei Segmentum were shocked, their hearts beating rapidly.

Many of them had heard of the master’s battle against the patriarch of the Nanhai Family using the body of Shenjia the Great Emperor.

However, comparing that battle with this scene before them, it was unfair.

The scene that unraveled was too shocking. Was this something that a mortal could achieve?

Cultivators from the Holy Land of Taichu were frozen in place as they gazed at what had unfolded. They saw the picture above the sky slowly dissipate. A figure appeared amid the void; it was the Taichu Saint Emperor. However, at this moment, his aura seemed extremely weak. His face was as pale as paper, and his eyes were smeared with a sense of fright and shock.

How is that possible?!

The master of the Four Corner Village, he…

Not only the Taichu Saint Emperor, but the other top aces seemed to have felt it as well. They stared fixedly towards the lower sky at the body of Shenjia the Great Emperor. This master from the Shangqing Domain’s Four Corner Village, who was controlling the sacred remains. Who exactly was he?

Was he of the Imperial Realm?!

Thinking about this, their heartbeats raced even more. Was Four Corner Village secretly harboring an Imperial Realm?

Back then, Donghuang the Great once went to the village to cultivate before being hailed as an emperor. Later on, a ban was issued after the Divine Prefecture’s unification. Could that be the reason?

Was Donghuang the Great once instructed by the master of Four Corner Village?

No one would have expected such an outcome—the appearance of such a daunting existence. The powerhouses of the Heavenly Mandate Academy regained their senses as they looked at the body of Shenjia the Great Emperor in shock.

It seemed that they would have to worry about Ye Futian no more. With an ace of this level guarding Ye Futian, who would dare to touch him?

Only a very few across the Divine Prefecture could afford to provoke him!
