The Legend of Futian

Chapter 2673: Demonic Shadow

Chen Yi took the lead. A brilliant light sailed across the sky and directly pierced through the golden roc that was swooping down on them. Instantly, the body of the roc was shattered into nothingness and transformed into numerous spots of light that soon dissipated.

His movements were as fast as always, The speed of light was indescribably frightening.

“This bird was not very powerful, nor was it wise,” Chen Yi commented when he returned to his position.

“His eyes were not right, as if it had been corrupted. It may be that the undead in this relic have given rise to a chaotic will, corrupting the demonic beasts here before resuscitating them,” Hua Qingqing said. Everyone nodded and thought that it must be as she said.

This battlefield must have seen some really cruel battles, and there were imperial-level existences that had met their ends here. Though they had perished and their wills had been disintegrated, it was possible that not all of them were completely destroyed, thus a chaotic will was born.

The group continued forging forward. On the way, they encountered many similar situations and saw many corpses that belonged to the cultivators who had entered the relic and had been killed here. Perhaps they died at the hands of those golden rocs.

However, the scattered dead spirits of the Karura could not block their way of course. The group traveled onward, crossing this land at an incredible speed. The extent of this relic was unknown, and many had entered a long time ago. No one knew what kind of situation they were facing or where they were exactly.

“Watch yourselves,” Ye Futian said. In front of him, he noticed a very dangerous aura.

“A strong demonic aura and death,” someone else had felt it as well.

As they moved forward, they saw a vast mountain range ahead. In this mountainous area, many demonic beasts could be seen, with various great monsters among them. These must be the group of demonic beasts that were ruled by the rocs. In addition, there were some powerful birds circling and hovering above.

Ye Futian glanced to both sides of himself and saw that this vast mountain range was not only broad but high and if they wanted to keep moving forward, the only way was to traverse it, as there was no other way around it.

“Let’s go,” Ye Futian said without hesitation, as he headed directly toward the mountains ahead. In this vast and endless mountainous land, their group appeared very small and insignificant.

The aura of desolation and death permeated everything, and many demonic beasts were looking at them. In their eyes, there was a hint of a bloodthirsty desire, as if they had no souls at all, but were guided by their own thirst for blood.

“We can use it for trials,” someone piped up, as a group of men rushed forward and jumped in to join the melee.

Chen Yi’s speed was the fastest. He turned into a shadow of light that rushed forward. Lights lit up wherever he passed, and demonic beasts continued to be blasted into pieces.

Next were Ye Wuchen, Yaya, and the Swordmaster of Lihen. They had inherited the Sword Will of the Three Sword Emperors not long ago, and naturally they wanted to test their newfound powers. Now that there was this group of monsters for them to slay, how could they miss such a great opportunity?

Ye Wuchen’s sword was fast and domineering, extremely fierce. Wherever his sword passed, all the bodies of these demonic beasts shattered. Yaya carried the sword matrix with her, as countless divine light from the sword matrix sprinkled down, covering an entire area. The Swordmaster of Lihen’s sword was meant for separation. When his sword fell, the heads of those beasts separated from their bodies, and their remaining will was pulverized directly.

As all the cultivators attacked, Ye Futian stayed behind them, as the will of the Great Path shrouded the surrounding area, and he said, “You just keeping going forward, I will guard your rear.”

Everyone nodded. With Ye Futian shoring up the rear, they were able to concentrate on forward attacks with confidence.

Everyone moved deep inside the mountain range. The strength of the monsters that came at them differed, so they had to choose their opponents accordingly.

Lord Chen and Hua Jieyu guarded their flanks, with Gu Dongliu and Chen Yi out in front.

Hua Qingqing’s aura was astonishing as well. The Light of Buddha was blazing, and when the demonic beasts wanted to attack her, they were enveloped by the Light of Buddha instead. Their hostility dissipated, and they fell to the land below quietly, as if they had been ushered into the afterlife. This ability made her work the easiest among all the cultivators.

Long Chen, Jun, Little Condor, and Zifeng were the most emotional. They were also demonic beasts themselves. They saw so many great monsters here, and many of them were at the level of divine beasts. They were far stronger than they had been while they were alive.

It was unimaginable how terrifying the House Karura was in that era.

Their group ventured deeper into the mountains and drove toward the other side of the range. At this time, a swift golden roc came down in front of Qin Qing. In mere seconds, its sharp claws were about to tear her body apart, while Qin Qing’s face instantly changed into a look of shock.

But at this precise moment, a shape suddenly materialized and pointed with his finger. Instantly, the body of the roc was destroyed and shattered, and it was Ye Futian who had appeared.

“Thank you, Lord Ye,” Qin Qing nodded at Ye Futian.

Ye Futian acknowledged her with a slight nod, as his body returned to its original position, and he continued to protect everyone from behind. When someone was in trouble, he would appear immediately to intervene.

In the process of going deep into the mountains, they had met other cultivators as well, but they were not in any specific place. They could perceive each other’s existence, as they were all going for the other side.

But there were no corpses here. Even if there were, they would soon become food for the hordes of monsters.

At this moment, Ye Futian was gone in a flash and reappeared in another position. Somewhere on the mountains, upon a boulder, there was a set of armor that encased a mummified skeleton, the remains of a human cultivator.

Ye Futian’s turned his thoughts to it, and the dust dispersed immediately. A demonic coercion effused from the armor, which indicated that it was demonic armor.

“It’s a demon’s corpse.”

Blind Tie came up behind Ye Futian and detected the demonic armor as well and said, “This armor is subdivine arms, with considerable rank. The owner of this armor would have been someone with extraordinary cultivation.”

MMMM. Ye Futian nodded, “This is the first demonic item I’ve encountered, but there are more corpses that belonged to other demons. It is possible that the demon clan attacked, and most of the bodies of the demonic cultivators have been devoured.”

“It is possible that this place was not yet the center of House Karura,” said Blind Tie. Ye Futian nodded as his figure flickered back to where he had been before. They continued to move forward and, on the way, they encountered several other demonic items, which, no doubt, had been left behind by demonic cultivators.

The mountain range on this side was extensive, and it took them several days before they finally came out of it. As they continued forward, Ye Futian looked ahead. It seemed that they were on a relatively high terrain, and they could vaguely see the shapes of buildings in the distance.

In this tomb of the gods, very few buildings could be seen.

Finally, they came to the end of this area. At this time, they were standing on high ground as they looked to the land below. This seemed to be an ancient royal city of Karura, albeit in a state of great dilapidation. This was an abandoned city from primordial times.

“Is this the center of the small world ruled by Karura?” someone whispered. “In the distance, what is that building? Is it the divine residence of the Karura?”

“Many cultivators have already arrived.” Ye Futian surveyed the boundless plains in front of them. At a glance, he could see many cultivators who were already inside. At the same time, he could also feel wisps of extraordinary auras.

“Imperial battles have erupted in this city before, and there may be a lot of traces left behind by the Great Emperors,” Ye Futian added. “Be careful. The people in there seem to be exercising great caution.”

Everyone nodded. High in the sky, there was not one person that could be seen traveling in the air.

“There is a strong demonic will,” Hua Qingqing said in a low voice, her beautiful eyes focused in front.

“I feel it too,” Ye Futian nodded. This city was tainted with an extremely powerful demonic will. The war that had erupted here once upon a time must have been of an unimaginable scale.

“Down,” Ye Futian said, as his body leaped forward and swooped down, landing in this ancient Karura city. Everyone else followed him closely and saw Ye Futian running ahead. Although he did not levitate in the air, his speed was incredible. Everyone followed closely behind as they traveled forward.

As they continued to venture deeper into the area, they suddenly detected a sense of danger. An extremely gigantic figure suddenly appeared in front of them, and it was none other than the Karura divine bird. This massive bird sheltered the sky and the sun as it swooped down with terrifying speed.

Ye Futian’s figure flashed like a blast of lightning as he sensed that dangerous aura. He unleashed the Sky Tremoring without another thought and slammed it forward, colliding with that massive body.

BANG!

A loud bang was heard as the void shook violently. A terrifying storm swept out and repelled Ye Futian backward. Likewise, the Karura was also pushed high into the sky, but its body was not blasted into pieces. Its flesh did not know the meaning of pain, and its icy eyes looked down at Ye Futian in the area below.

“What kind of body is this?” Ye Futian’s heart was palpitating. Was it really so terrifying?

What level of existence was this Karura before it died?

Those bloodthirsty eyes surveyed the area below. Ye Futian took a step forward with a terrifying aura. They had just come in and already they had encountered such a fierce beast. This city was probably fraught with unseen challenges.

BUZZ! A terrifying bloodthirsty aura descended, and that massive body swooped down again, aiming to slaughter Ye Futian and the others.

PUH!

At this moment, the body of that behemoth suddenly stopped in mid-air, as if a most horrific force had imposed restrictions upon it, abruptly putting a stop to that terrifying moving speed.

Ye Futian raised his head to look up into the sky, his heart was beating wildly. The body that his imperial arms, the Sky Tremoring, had failed to smash was now impaled by a giant demonic blade. More important, it was just a section of the demonic blade, as the blade had been broken into pieces, but a section of it had pierced directly through the gigantic body of the Karura, nailing it in the void.

“This…”

Behind Ye Futian, the eyes of all the cultivators sharpened. Who was it that made the move?

With a loud bang, the Karura’s body fell to the ground, but it did not die. Or rather, it was dead already, so there was no such thing as dying again.

A shadow appeared silently, and a massive arm fell directly on the head of the Karura and forcibly tore off its head. It was done with such tremendous violence that Ye Futian and others watched, trembling with fear.

In front of them stood a terrifying demonic shadow.. What’s more terrifying was that this demon shadow had no head!
