Chapter 2571: Imperial Arm

Below the starry sky, a figure dressed in white sat in a cross-legged stance. In the boundless universe, he appeared especially tiny. His eyes were shut tight, and his spiritual soul had merged into one with the starry sky. He had forgotten about himself. This was Ye Futian’s true self, but his consciousness was not inside of his true form.

Above the celestial skies, the enormous phantasm appeared in the vast starry s.p.a.ce; it looked like the projection of Ye Futian in the starry skies. This was a manifestation of his consciousness. The eyes of the projection looked toward the Divine Prefecture cultivators who came to attack.

He stood before the powerful cultivators of the Divine Prefecture alone, on his own. He intercepted them outside of the Ziwei Segmentum.

The Divine Prefecture cultivators paused in their tracks. The aura from each of the camps was extremely terrifying. Their gazes were fixed on the phantom figure before them. Indeed, as the rumors had it, Ye Futian could utilize the will of Ziwei the Great to fuse his spiritual soul into the starry skies and control the trillions of celestial stars.

At this moment, Ye Futian represented the will of Ziwei the Great and guarded this place.

In the middle of the various Divine Prefecture factions were the cultivators from Tianyan City. Of which, the leading figure wasn’t the Lord of the Tianyan City, and it was his heir, w.a.n.g Xiao, who had been defeated by Ye Futian.

The Divine Prefecture crusade this time was led by w.a.n.g Xiao for an a.s.sault on the Ziwei Segmentum.

w.a.n.g Xiao looked in front of him as well, and he stared at Ye Futian’s phantom figure. His gaze was ice-cold, while murderous intent burned inside his eyes.

“Young City Lord, please break open this defense of the Ziwei Segmentum. As long as we shatter the will of Ziwei the Great, we can directly charge into Ziwei and wipe out the Imperial Palace,” the Chief of the West Sea Domain Chief’s Manor said. He had an intense hatred for Ye Futian.

Ye Futian killed a significant number of people from his West Sea Domain Chief’s Manor. Although he was the Chief of the Domain Chief’s Manor under the jurisdiction of the Imperial Palace, he joined this war against the Ziwei Segmentum.

The various cultivators all looked toward w.a.n.g Xiao. The only one capable of breaking through this defense and destroying the will of Ziwei the Great was w.a.n.g Xiao. Although the Lord of the Tianyan City was arrogant to say that w.a.n.g Xiao was invisible amongst cultivators below the Great Emperor, in some sense, he was right. With the Imperial Arm, very few people in the Divine Prefecture could hold their own against w.a.n.g Xiao.

His own power level was, of course, out of the question since he had been defeated by Ye Futian not long ago.

“Alright,” w.a.n.g Xiao nodded and walked forward. It stepped on the void and stood in the middle of the boundless starry skies. With a turn of his mind, a ray of light appeared above him in the vast starry skies.

As the light rained downward, it illuminated the vast s.p.a.ce. That was the imperial glory, supremely divine and holy, and even the apex overlords didn’t dare to look into it directly.

w.a.n.g Xiao went up into the air and moved in that direction. He stood in the boundless starry skies. Before him was a Divine Hammer. The one who was holding the Divine Hammer was a supreme, holy phantasm. The phantasm was extremely oppressive and had an unparalleled aura of might and majesty. It was almost as though it contained vitality and looked down upon all beings in the world.

“Tianyan the Great!”

The hearts of the cultivators quivered. This Divine Hammer was one of the Imperial Arms forged personally by Tianyan the Great. It was the divine attacking arm of Tianyan the Great, a divine weapon known as the Sky Tremor. This was the Imperial Arm that Tianyan the Great explicitly forged to be compatible with the Divine Technique: Sky Tremoring Hammer, which he had created.

In the boundless void, waves of tremoring pulses swept out from above the Sky Tremor, the cultivators from the Divine Prefecture all felt a suffocating aura. The waves of terrifying tremors continued to expand while growing stronger. It covered a nearly endless area, perhaps even the entire Ziwei Segmentum.

Boom… Dull thumps could be heard in the skies. As waves after waves of the tremoring pulses swept across the air and landed on the light screen outside the Ziwei Segmentum, rigorous booming sounds erupted from the impact. Moreover, it was as though those tremoring pulses were endless, impacting the light screen over and over.

“Retreat.” The Divine Prefecture Cultivators flew into the air and went even higher to evade those tremoring pulses. They looked down toward the Segmentum. The tremoring pulses of the Sky Tremor seemed to transform into tangible attacks. As it tremored down on the light screen one round after another, it was as though it had no end.

“Legend has it that every attack of the Sky Tremor contained hundreds of millions of tremoring pulses, containing enough power to obliterate anything in this world,” a powerful cultivator from the Divine Prefecture said as he looked in w.a.n.g Xiao’s direction. It was as though w.a.n.g Xiao’s body had fused into one with the phantasm of Tainyan the Great. When he reached out his hand, he gripped onto the Sky Tremor together with the arm of the phantasm.

Ye Futian’s phantasm naturally felt this overwhelming pressure as well. With a turn of his mind, the celestial stars in the skies outside of the Ziwei Segmentum started to revolve and rotate. It was as if the entire segmentum transformed into one complete star with trillions of stars merging into one to protect the Ziwei Segmentum from obliteration.

Hum! As the divine light rained down from the celestial skies, it blinded the eyes of those who looked toward it. w.a.n.g Xiao raised his hand. The phantasm of Tianyan the Great raised the Sky Tremor and slammed it down. At this instant, trillions of tremoring pulses swept downward, shrouding the vast celestial skies. Within the vicinity of these tremoring pulses, it was as though no living being could exist. Regardless of who stood below, he would be shattered and killed by the tremoring pulses.

Boom… A dull, heavy thud echoed through the celestial skies. It was as though s.p.a.ce itself was being crushed and shattered, giving rise to an endless array of dark cracks in s.p.a.ce. At the same time, the waves of tremoring pulses attacked against the outside of the body of the star. The tremoring even seeped in indirectly, trying to shatter the entire Ziwei Segmentum.

At this moment, inside one of the cultivation stars inside the Ziwei Segmentum, all of the cultivators suddenly heard the terrifying noises coming from atop the celestial skies. It rumbled their eardrums, causing the ground to shake and tremor as though there was an earthquake. Buildings collapsed while the wild roars of the demonic beasts could be heard.

At this moment, every single person inside the Ziwei Segmentum felt this tremoring pulse attack coming from outside of the Segmentum. Regardless of cultivation level, a shocked expression spread across all of their faces. They raised their heads to look toward the sky while the ground was quaking.

What in the world is happening?

No one knew. Only the people of the Ziwei Imperial Palace knew what happened. At this moment, the Imperial Palace was tremoring as well. They raised their heads to look toward the outer skies, and waves of shock went through their hearts. It was such a terrifying attack that impacted the entire segmentum. Just how frighteningly powerful was it?

If it weren’t for Ye Futian with the will of Ziwei the Great controlling the celestial stars, these tremors would be able to obliterate countless lives from the Ziwei Segmentum.

“This is the attacking power of an Imperial Arm?” The hearts of the cultivators quivered. Being able to cover the entire segmentum… That was such shocking power.

Just how terrifyingly powerful could the Great Emperors be?

In the eyes of a Great Emperor, all cultivators below the Great Emperor level were likely no different from ants. Regardless of how powerful a Tribulation Plane cultivator was, there was no way he could even conceive an attack this terrifyingly powerful.

And Ye Futian, what kind of pressure was he under now?

Boom…

Another sky-shaking noise echoed through the air. People in the entire segment could hear this extremely horrifying noise.

Outside of the Ziwei Segmentum and outside of the tremoring pulses from the attacks of the Sky Tremor. A ray of divine light shot down from the Sky Tremor, colliding in one direction to form a terrifying pillar of light attempting to pierce through the defense. Around the light pillar were ominous cracks in s.p.a.ce, even tearing open tunnels connecting to the Original Realm and the Divine Prefecture. On the other end of the s.p.a.ce cracks, Divine Prefecture cultivators sensed the situation and were all equally shocked, not knowing what was happening.

“He didn’t break through!” The Divine Prefecture cultivators saw that below them, the Ziwei Segmentum defensive light screen was not broken under the attack of the Imperial Arm! However, cracks appeared on the flowing starry light screen, and they were expanding.

The truly terrifying thing was that the tremoring pulses still hadn’t dissipated; it was as though there was no limit of end to them.

Finally, as the cracks spread through the light screen, the outer starry light screen was torn apart, and as the cracks continued to grow, the defensive light screen was also breaking.

Ye Futian witnessed all of this happening. He looked toward w.a.n.g Xiao and the Sky Tremor above him, the power of an Imperial Arm, as expected; it was truly as terrifying as it could get.

But it wasn’t unmatchable.

With a turn of his mind, the divine lights from the stars of the celestial skies converged together. The phantasm of Ziwei the Great manifested behind Ye Futian’s figure, and then it fused together with his apparition. Ye Futian raised his head and looked toward the phantasms of w.a.n.g Xiao and Tianyan the Great high up in the skies. This was no longer a battle between w.a.n.g Xiao and him; it was a battle between the wills of two Great Emperors.

The Sky Tremor was once again raised, then slammed down. Trillions of tremoring pulses swept out, attempting to shatter the entire Ziwei.

In the Ancient Era, Ziwei the Great was the apex Great Emperor. His powers should be above that of Tianyan the Great. However, the Imperial Arm left by Tianyan the Great contained the attacking will of Tianyan the Great himself, while the Ziwei Segmentum did not; instead, it required Ye Futian’s control.

Hum! A starry divine light erupted to transform into a Starry Divine Sword, colliding directly with the light ray from the Sky Tremor that was slamming down. High up above the sky, two light pillars of golden and purple colors appeared, tearing apart the s.p.a.ce around them. It was as though the entire world was collapsing. It was extremely terrifying.

At the same time, the stars of the celestial skies revolved and once again blocked those terrifying tremoring pulses. But when the trillions of tremoring pulses swept downwards, many stars exploded and were shattered, allowing the terrifying tremoring pulses to invade the Ziwei Segmentum. Ye Futian could sense that inside the Ziwei segmentum, countless living beings were affected. Many people were even injured due to these terrifying tremoring pulses.

Ancient Great Emperors were able to obliterate an entire world on their own. That was certainly not fiction.

Ye Futian raised his head and looked in the direction which w.a.n.g Xiao was in. The attacks of the Imperial Arm were so powerful. He couldn’t just allow him to strike over and over again. Otherwise, even if he managed to fend against his attacks, the cultivators of the Ziwei Segmentum wouldn’t be able to bear it!
