Chapter 2192 - The Death of the Mithraism Hierophant

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

A towering aura swept all over above the Heavenly Mandate City, with several terrifying powers bursting in several different directions. A storm whipped up in the sky in an instant, causing all cultivators in the city to be in shock as the storms swept past. Some who were of weaker training were reduced to trembling in fear under all that pressure, lying on all fours right away.

“How insolent…”

A voice reverberated in the air. Those from top-notch forces, who were out to watch a show, saw that those from the Heavenly Mandate Academy were actually out to hunt down the Hierophant of Mithraism, and they were all in shock.

Quite a number of cultivation forces had acted against the academy back then. If those people from the academy actually managed to kill the hierophant, it would mean that those people would be coming for them next. With that being said, all of them sensed danger right away. So, they burst with terrifying might in the air as well.

However, the academy had been prepared for such a scenario. Duan Tianxiong made his move right after those from the academy made their move. He rose into the air, and a terrifying specter of a heavenly god overlayed his body. It was as if that specter had melded with him and made him a god as well.

Frightening rumbles were heard, and the place was placed in a lockdown. It was like a heavenly fortress was shrouding the vast space and covering the battlefield.

What he needed to do was but to stall them for some time for Ye Futian and the others to get enough time to finish the hunt.

The others had naturally made their moves when Duan Tianxiong made his move. The handful of titans attacked at the same time the Hierophant of Mithraism realized that he was being targeted.

Old Ma stood high in the air, and countless spatial gates appeared on him as he made his way to the Hierophant. The gates seemed to be out of throw the hierophant into the spatial turbulences.

The Hierophant glittered all over and became like a true god. The divine light of the sun burned the skies and conjured a terrifying destructive power with him at the center. He kept moving forward, and the gates continued to burn as he moved.

However, he seemed to be thrown into a chaotic space at that moment, with countless spatial gates circling around him.

Boom… He raised his hand and attacked the spatial gates. That massive palm attack of his destroyed everything in its path, yet at the same time, the others around him attacked as well.

The Divine Sword Qinghe burst with brilliant bluish-green divine light, tearing everything in its path and destroyed that incoming palm attack from the Hierophant as well, then kept moving in an unstoppable manner.

Sky River Great Elder, the Palace Lord of the Divine Palace, and a divine monument came at the Hierophant at the same time, making it look like the space that he occupied was about to collapse.

Booom.

A terrifying divine fiery stream swept all over the place. The Hierophant put his hands together, looking like he was praying, and a burst of unparalleled force shot to the clouds. It burst through the spatial gates, looking like it was about to break through the divine walls on the outside. Divine light shrouded the Hierophant, and he seemed to have changed altogether, looking like some god.

A massive idol of the sun god appeared in front, and the sun god looked like it would destroy everything as its divine flames burst, snuffing out any other power of the Great Path and reducing everything to dust. The streams spread all over the place and destroyed all of the spatial gates around with the divine light of flames.

The Hierophant was naturally aware of what he was dealing with at the moment. His life was on the line, and he had to give it his all to fight.

Several attacks that came at him were all repelled. Even Emperor Nan’s Divine Sword Qinghe had to evade the Hierophant’s might. The Hierophant was indeed mighty and was incredibly capable. He was still at the perfection of the Great Path of the Renhuang Realm, meaning that his combat prowess was extremely powerful. As far as one-on-one battles were concerned, none of the few attacking him dared to claim that they could beat him.

Boom… Terrifying rumbles were heard on the outside, and the divine walls began cracking, making it clear that there were frightening battles taking place outside as well.

Several formidable ones had acted against Duan Tianxiong at that moment, intending to get inside the walls. While Duan Tianxiong was indeed formidable, having to seal the place with his might of the Great Path while holding all those people back was difficult. He could only hold on for so long.

Old Ma and the others took a look at the sun god idol. They were able to sense its might. They knew right there and then that it would be challenging to complete the hunt quickly.

That sun god idol lit up the entire place, and the divine light emanating from it was powerful enough to tear everything in its path.

“Make your move,” Old Ma said, and spatial divine light lit up all over him as soon as he finished.

He flashed and disappeared from where he stood right away, appearing right before that terrifying sun god idol. They all went right before the hierophant. That was a distance that beings at their level could ignore altogether.

Vooom… The spatial divine light drowned out that sun god idol right away. Boundless spatial halos surged from Old Ma, surrounding that sun god idol and everything around it, including himself.

A frightening, destructive power burst from inside.

“Get moving.”

Emperor Nan and the others realized what Old Ma was doing. He was going all out to help Ye Futian finish the operation. He was using his own might of the Great path to devour that towering, magnificent sun god idol.

The hierophant shouted angrily. His hands remained closed in midair. The towering divine flames were about to tear every power of the Great Path apart, emerging out of that spatial storm. The frightening spatial storm continued to burn and looked like it could collapse at any given moment.

The divine power of the Hierophant’s Great Path surged inside.

Booom! A terrifying palm attack blasted and the hierophant counterattacked by extending his hand to attack. His palm attack of the sun was terrifying, and it clashed with what was coming from the Sky River Great Elder.

A terrifying divine tower shattered the divine light high up in the sky, and the Hierophant outward blasted with his other hand.

At the same time, Emperor Nan’s Divine Sword Qinghe came at the Hierophant yet again.

Booom! A frightening rumble was heard, and Duan Tianxiong, who was outside, was eventually unable to hold any longer. The walls were destroyed, and everyone out there saw that massive space inside. They then saw blinding divine light stinging their eyes. The divine light of the sun blasted out in a frenzy. Yet, a divine sword capable of shattering everything hit the Hierophant.

The Hierophant let out a pained roar as his power of the sun blasted Emperor Nan and the others. However, Divine Sword Qinghe went on to tear everything in its path, and that magnificent tower in the sky rained down the light of calamity, shattering the Hierophant’s body bit by bit.

A spectral figure appeared and looked like it was about to run, yet Emperor Nan and the others were not about to give him that chance, tearing that apart alongside what they were already destroying.

“No…” An anguished roar reverberated throughout the entire Heavenly Mandate City, shaking the sky. Countless cultivators from the city looked up, seeing blinding beams of divine light emanating. It was as if something had just been destroyed.

The hearts of countless people raced, wondering if a top-notch figure had just been killed.

On the battlefield, Emperor Nan and the others were all repelled, yet their eyes were all set in one direction—the place where Old Ma was. A destructive, fiery aura was sensed from Old Ma at that moment. His aura appeared rather weak, and his face looked somewhat charred as well.

It was apparent that he was injured. He had paid some price to successfully kill the Hierophant of Mithraism.

“Are you alright?” Emperor Nan asked, feeling rather impressed with Old Ma’s feats. He wondered what kind of relationship that man had with Ye Futian to be going to such lengths. That attack had been very, very risky, and Old Ma was putting himself on the line. Any misstep and he could have ended up with extreme injuries.

“I’m fine,” Old Ma replied and looked around him. A terrifying aura came down, and several top-notch beings stood in different places, yet none of them made a move.

The man was already killed, and they were too late.

The cultivators from the Heavenly Mandate Academy actually managed to kill the Hierophant of Mithraism.

At that moment, all cultivators from the cult were shaking in fear. Many of their own had been taken down by Ye Futian, not far away from Duan Tianxiong. Those people were all trembling deep down, and their eyes nailed to the place where their leader had just been snuffed out. It seemed as if they had a hard time believing what just happened.

The Hierophant is dead?

Mithraism was a titan among the cultivation forces of Tongtian Domain, reigning supreme, and their powers were mighty. The Hierophant was at the pinnacle of Renhuang Realm, which meant that he was among those standing at the very top.

They had all come to the Void Realm with a condescending mindset, looking down on the cultivators of the Origin Realm, seeing the sealed Origin to be just a fractured, incomplete world that the Divine Prefecture had left in the dust.

Yet, their Hierophant ended up being killed in the Origin Realm.

Despite all of them still being at the Renhuang Realm, they all knew that that was the end for them.

Booom… A terrifying power of both extreme Yin and extreme Yang surged into their bodies. Ye Futian hovered midair, and those whom he seized all wore twisted expressions.

It didn’t take long for all of them to get reduced to dust by that very power. All of them ended up killed.

That caused the ones from forces originating from the Divine Prefecture to stare at Ye Futian, sensing an immense threat from him.

Ye Futian scanned those fighters at the same time. The very reason why he killed all those whom he seized was to send a warning to those foreign cultivators, telling them not to throw their weight around in the Origin Realm.

The death of the Hierophant of Mithraism would probably serve as a sufficient warning to those foreign forces that came to Origin Realm.

At that moment, countless cultivators in the city looked up at Ye Futian, who just killed scores of cultivators at Renhuang Realm, thinking that the number one legendary figure in the Origin Realm had finally returned.

He had become even more terrifying at present, and those powerful cultivators at the Renhuang Realm were little more than bugs before him.

They wondered just how far had he transformed, coming back 20 years later from then.
