Chapter 2649: A Tragic Great Emperor

Ye Futian's heart was similarly throbbing. His consciousness also formed a phantasm. He looked towards the god figure and shouted, "Great Emperor!"

He never imagined that Great Emperor Ziwei would hear his summons and descend upon the world in this moment of despair.

They were saved from the valley of despair!

Great Emperor Ziwei's ethereal face looked towards Ye Futian as he said, "You inherited the will of Ziwei and my teachings. Shouldn't you be calling me Master?"

Ye Futian had inherited the will of Ziwei and was now the faith of the members of the Ziwei Segmentum. The stars in the sky were his to command. He could also rely on the will of Ziwei. Indeed, he could be considered a disciple of Great Emperor Ziwei. Although this was the first time the two of them had met each other, it was within reason for Ye Futian to call him Master.

"Master!" Ye Futian called out as he bowed.

Great Emperor Ziwei's ethereal face revealed a smile, and he seemed reassured. He said, "After having perished for so many years, I am relieved to be able to take in a disciple after my will awakened."

Clearly, Great Emperor Ziwei greatly approved of Ye Futian; otherwise, he would not have taken him in as a disciple now.

His voice could be heard across the entire Ziwei Segmentum. All the cultivators present could hear him clearly. He was Great Emperor Ziwei, the master of the Ziwei Segmentum. This was his world. How could the cultivators of Ziwei not recognize his voice and will?

"From this day forth, Ye Futian will inherit the will of Ziwei and become the master of the Ziwei Segmentum," declared Great Emperor Ziwei. All the cultivators in the segmentum felt their hearts tremble. Great Emperor Ziwei had returned to recognize Ye Futian as his successor officially. He declared that Ye Futian would inherit the segmentum.

The members of the Ziwei Segmentum had long acknowledged Ye Futian and viewed him as their faith before this. However, he had seized Ziwei Imperial Palace by force back then, so his claim over it was debatable.

However, from now on, he was officially the master of the Ziwei Segmentum.

"Master!" Ye Futian cried out. He had a bad premonition. His summoning the will of Great Emperor Ziwei this time might cause it to dissipate after. The latter's words sounded more like a final will to put affairs in order.

Great Emperor Ziwei seemed to know what Ye Futian was thinking. Right now, their minds were linked. Their wills were both merged with the various stars in the sky. The former continued saying, "I have perished for many years and should not exist in this world. However, because I was concerned about the Ziwei Segmentum, I sealed some of my will in the various stars. I am aware of everything you have done in the past. Several years ago, you awakened my will, which allowed me to have the opportunity to reappear in the world. I should be thanking you."

When Ye Futian heard Great Emperor Ziwei's words, his guess was proven correct. The latter's return would be followed by his disappearance forever.

"Lend me your body!" said Great Emperor Ziwei.

As he said this, endless starlight surged into Ye Futian's body. Ye Futian, whose eyes were closed all this while, felt his body suddenly tremble. Starlight shone, and the various stars in the sky resonated with his body.

Suddenly, he opened his eyes. Within them, starlight shot out towards the heavens. The light was dazzling as it swept towards Wang Xiao, controlled by Tianyan the Great.

Tianyan the Great had relied on Wang Xiao's body to be reborn into this world.

Great Emperor Ziwei now relied on Ye Futian's body to return.

Both were similar but were fundamentally different.

However, it seemed like they had returned to square one. The battle between Tianyan the Great and Great Emperor Ziwei was like the battle between Wang Xiao and Ye Futian back then.

It was as though they had returned to the past in a dream. This scene seemed familiar.

Tianyan the Great kept staring down below. His expression was serious, and he no longer had his previous overbearing aura. His arrogant attitude had disappeared.

No matter how monstrous Ye Futian was, he was still an ant in the eyes of Tianyan the Great. Now, the person who appeared before him was Great Emperor Ziwei. The latter was previously one of the most powerful Great Emperors who had several Great Emperors under his command.

During the Age of Emperors, Great Emperor Ziwei's name was renowned far and wide.

Tianyan the Great returned using Wang Xiao's body and wanted to seize the Ziwei Segmentum. However, he never imagined that Great Emperor Ziwei would similarly be awakened by Ye Futian and use the latter to return.

Behind him, the various cultivators saw all of this, and their hearts were throbbing.

They had initially come to be spectators, wanting to witness the destruction of the Ziwei Segmentum and the death of Ye Futian with their own eyes. Yet, they never imagined that they would witness such a grand scene. Great Emperor Ziwei had also appeared.

The look in the eyes of the Lord of Tianyan City was extremely ugly. How could this have happened?

He was somewhat uneasy. Great Emperor Ziwei had returned. Could Tianyan the Great defeat him?

It surely would not be a problem, the Lord of Tianyan City reassured himself mentally. Tianyan the Great had recovered and was more powerful. He also wielded the imperial arm that he once forged. He was definitely at an absolute advantage.

Even if Great Emperor Ziwei had returned, what could the latter do?

The end result would not change.

Just as he contemplated all these things, unparalleled starlight shone down below in the Ziwei Segmentum. The stars shone brilliantly. The various stars around the Ziwei Segmentum lit up at the same time, radiating with dazzling divine halos. It was blinding to behold.

This light pierced out into the distance and illuminated the vast sky. An extreme power emanated from below. This was the true authority of heaven. They were far apart, yet under this might, it was as though there was no distance between them. Everyone could sense the intense pressure from the will.

Some people were already moving backward. The cultivators of the Ancient God Clans and the other cultivators from the Divine Prefecture were retreating. They did not dare stick their noses in a battle between two Great Emperors. They would die horrible deaths.

Rumble.

A strange sound could be heard in the heavens above. It was as though the heavens and earth were collapsing. Tianyan the Great stepped forward. His deity-like figure lifted up Sky Tremor and myriads of Tremoring Pulses frenziedly swept down. They struck the heavens and made countless cracks appear in the space. It was as though the sky was being smashed into pieces.

He knew that closing the distance was meaningless in a battle at their level. Their target would always be in their attack range no matter where they went.

They could only fight.

He was also a Great Emperor who had returned from the ancient age. He wouldn't walk away from a fight!

Today, he would wield his imperial arms, kill Ziwei and seize the segmentum. He would replace the latter.

Starlight enveloped Ye Futian's figure as the silhouette of Great Emperor Ziwei formed around him, merging with Ye Futian's figure. He also appeared like a deity. An unparalleled aura emanated from his figure. Countless stars resonated with him. As Ziwei, he controlled the stars in the sky and was their master.

Buzz.

A beam of divine light shot out and pierced the space. Peerless emperor might descended. At this moment, Great Emperor Ziwei was like the ruler of the heavens and the earth. An extremely murderous aura penetrated the space. This was ultimate murderous intent. It was the murderous intent of a Great Emperor.

Ye Futian's figure shot out straight ahead like a bolt of lightning. As he pointed his finger forwards, the figure of Great Emperor Ziwei around him did the same. Endless starlight of the Great Path gathered to form a divine sword that pierced the heavens.

Tianyan the Great's body grew even larger as he became a towering god. Sky Tremor similarly expanded as it came crashing down on Great Emperor Ziwei's attack. The two world-destroying attacks collided. The surrounding space collapsed and was destroyed. They tore apart the space and appeared in the chaotic flow of space. It seemed as though they were no longer in their initial space. In the endless storm of chaotic currents, divine swords shot out and frenziedly shattered the Tremoring Pulses.

Terrifying dull thuds could be heard. Circular shockwaves swept out. Everything around them was disintegrated.

The shockwaves caused the entire Ziwei Segmentum to tremble. Countless cracks appeared on the light shroud as it then gradually dissipated. However, at the same time, the terrifying divine sword kept advancing. Sky Tremor could not block this attack either. The divine sword that penetrated the heavens and the earth outshone Sky Tremor, causing the latter's light to slowly dim. Simultaneously, the light of the divine sword shot towards the figure of Tianyan the Great. His body shifted, attempting to escape. However, under the Divine Sword of Annihilation, the empty space was obliterated.

Buzz.

The light of the divine sword pierced through the deity-like figure. An illusory figure appeared. It was Tianyan the Great himself. His eyes revealed a look of astonishment as well as an intense dissatisfaction. His body was dissipating slowly now.

Endless starlight transformed into intense killing intent and pinned everything in place. Even the illusory figure of Tianyan the Great could not escape.

"No..." Tianyan the Great mumbled. He had waited for countless years before he could finally make a comeback.

Why would fate treat him in such a manner?

He encountered Great Emperor Ziwei.

Yet another wave of countless starlight penetrated through him. Tianyan the Great was completely turned to dust. Only a hint of his aura lingered in these turbulent currents.

The currents flowed aimlessly and flooded the space. No one knew where the currents would end up.

In the space outside of the Ziwei Segmentum, a storm of turbulent currents stirred up. Everyone moved away frantically. Even though the battle was not directed at them, they might still die if they were careless and got caught up in the aftermath.

After a long while, the storm finally dissipated. The space stabilized. Many cultivators emerged, appearing somewhat disheveled.

The Lord of Tianyan City stood there, stunned. He looked into the void. Tianyan the Great had disappeared. Everything had disappeared.

He felt his heart clench as his face revealed a look of pain.

With the return of the Great Emperor, Tianyan City was on its way to glory. However, they never imagined that this beautiful dream would end so soon. They were about to face a nightmare now.

What did the death of Tianyan the Great signify?

Now, in Tianyan City, the will of the Great Emperor no longer existed. Of the two imperial arms, one was destroyed. Now, Sky Tremor appeared down below in the Ziwei Segmentum, in the hands of Ye Futian.

Could Tianyan City, which had been passing down the teachings of a Great Emperor for countless years, still be called an Ancient God Clan?

From this day forth, Tianyan City might lose its title as an Ancient God Clan.

What would they face next?

The various cultivators did not ponder about these things. They had yet to wrap their heads around the destruction of Tianyan the Great. What they had witnessed astonished them.

Today, Great Emperor Ziwei returned for one battle and killed off Tianyan the Great, who had been reborn.

When Tianyan the Great declared he had been reborn, this news shook the world. However, before he could truly act, he was killed and disappeared!
