Chapter 2689: Repent and You Shall Be Saved?

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

Ye Futian was cultivating inside the relic. He had become one with the will of the relic. Seemingly sensing something, he opened his eyes and gazed into the distance. He then noticed a pair of eyes.

They were a pair of Divine Eyes. They were bright and looked down on everything from the sky above. They penetrated through space and directly stared at Ye Futian.

Ye Futian similarly stared at the Divine Eyes. Both parties recognized each other.

“Ye Futian!” exclaimed a voice. The speaker was clearly surprised by what he saw.

“Shenyan Buddha Lord,” mumbled Ye Futian as he narrowed his eyes. He stared at the Divine Eyes intently. From the looks of it, Shenyan Buddha Lord’s cultivation had improved. His eyes seemed to have transformed into real Divine Eyes. They could penetrate through the seal of the will of the Great Path and see the scene inside the relic, regardless of the distance.

Shenyan Buddha Lord did not retract his gaze. His Divine Eyes scanned the surroundings, intending to make out the internal structure of the relic.

Ye Futian’s heart turned cold. Due to his close relationship with the Buddhist sects, he had no intention of attacking Shenyan Buddha Lord. However, the latter had always been finding fault with him. The appearance of these Divine Eyes now most likely meant that he would cause trouble for Ye Futian again.

Outside the region of the relic, Shenyan Buddha Lord retracted his gaze, and the Divine Eyes in the sky disappeared. He turned around and looked at the crowd. Many of them asked him, “Buddha Lord, how is it inside?”

“Ye Futian is cultivating inside the relic together with Ziwei Imperial Palace and the West Imperial Palace cultivators. He has lied to all of us,” reported Shenyan Buddha Lord. “Ye Futian and Ziwei Imperial Palace have occupied the relic of House Mahoraga, one of the Eight Legions.”

“Ye Futian!” muttered the crowd as they narrowed their eyes in surprise. They never imagined that not only were Ye Futian and the cultivators of Ziwei Imperial Palace still alive, but they had also occupied the relic of Mahoraga and had cultivated inside for so long.

There were multiple inheritances inside the relic.

“Something has been fishy since the beginning. We have had our suspicions, but we did not expect that he has really been lying to us,” someone said coldly. “We must tell everyone about this.”

Even though they had found out the truth, no one dared to enter the relic recklessly. After all, since Ye Futian had seized control of the relic, it meant that he had merged with the will of Mahoraga.

Shenyan Buddha Lord swept a glance at the relic. Ye Futian and the cultivators of Ziwei Imperial Palace had occupied the relic of Mahoraga for a year. The other seven relics of the Eight Legions were all under control of Emperor-level forces.

Who did Ye Futian and the cultivators of Ziwei Imperial Palace think they were? They dared to take over one of the relics of the Eight Legions without sharing it with the others.

Now, Shenyan Buddha Lord only needed to wait and see as Ye Futian and Ziwei Imperial Palace became the common enemy of everyone.

The news spread quickly in the ancient continent. Soon, various forces knew that Ye Futian and his group had occupied the relic of Mahoraga. Many cultivators made their way over here.

At the same time, in the relic, Ye Futian stopped cultivating. His gaze was indifferent as he announced, “We will most likely face trouble.”

After the various forces caught wind of the news, they would most likely rush over here.

“We will declare war on them if they intrude,” an arrogant voice sounded. The speaker was none other than Supreme Swordlord. Sword Will surrounded him, and his aura was terrifying. As a near-deity, Supreme Swordlord hardly ever found anyone who could be a match for him. He stood at the pinnacle of the cultivation world.

He had acquired an imperial arm in the relic. He naturally feared no one and was not afraid to put up a fight.

“Swordlord, there are more than one or two forces in this ancient continent currently,” Ye Futian explained. “Furthermore, the seven major Emperor-level forces are here too.” The source of this content is novelenglish.net . Fɪre

“That’s true. While we were improving, they were not idle either,” Supreme Swordlord said. “Little Friend Ye, you now control the will of Mahoraga. How’s your current combat ability?”

A year ago, when the will of Mahoraga was awakened, all the cultivators had a hard time withstanding it. They were nearly swallowed by the will. Since Ye Futian had merged with the will of Mahoraga, he would surely be mighty.

Ye Futian replied, “I have not tested it out, but I should be able to put up a fight with you even if you wield the imperial arm.” Supreme Swordlord was already a near-deity. With the aid of the imperial arm, he would most likely have the strongest combat ability among all who were under the Great Emperor Plane.

The combat ability of a near-deity carrying an imperial arm was equivalent to that of Yan Guiyi of the Devil World back then. They were on par with Wang Xiao, who wielded the imperial arm that was completed with the will of Tianyan the Great.

“Hmm.” Supreme Swordlord nodded. Even though Ye Futian said so, his exact combat ability remained uncertain.

At the moment, they could only cross the bridge when they came to it. They would decide on their course of action depending on the cultivators who came.

...

More and more cultivators gathered outside the relic of Mahoraga. They had come from different relics. They stayed put for now and waited for more people to assemble.

They did not dare to act recklessly since Ye Futian had seized control of the relic and had inherited the will of Mahoraga.

As time passed, the number of cultivators increased. Most of them were cultivators from the Divine Prefecture. For instance, all the Ancient God Clans from the Divine Prefecture were here. They had grudges with Ye Futian, to begin with; they would certainly not let go of this golden opportunity to crusade against Ye Futian with the others.

The Ancient God Clans had reaped quite some benefits during their trip here. They cultivated in the relic of Naga, which Donghuang Imperial Palace controlled. They had secured as many teachings as possible. After they received news about Ye Futian, they immediately left the relic of Naga and rushed over here.

On top of them, cultivators from various worlds were also here. All of them had their gazes fixed on the relic.

Haotian Clan Lord said, “According to rumors, Mahoraga was the War God among the Eight Legions. His combat ability was heaven-defying, and he killed many Great Emperors. There are most likely many teachings of the Great Emperors left inside this relic. I suppose the cultivators of Ziwei Imperial Palace have reaped great benefits this time around. Aside from the Emperor-level forces, most likely no other force can stand on par with them.” His gaze was dead set on the relic as he said this.

“Ziwei Imperial Palace originated from the Original Realm. It has only been a few decades since they gained their fame, and they intend to be on par with the Emperor-level forces now. For them to occupy a relic alone, they sure are ambitious,” seconded Vajra Region Lord as he instigated the crowd.

The cultivators present naturally understood their intention of saying such things. However, they also thought that what they said was logical. They indeed felt that Ziwei Imperial Palace was unworthy to claim a relic independently. Only the Emperor-level forces were allowed to claim one of the relics of the Eight Legions each. This last relic of the Eight Legions should have been accessible to everyone.

As they spoke, a menacing aura emanated from within the relic. In the distance, a terrifying aura of the Great Path churned and roared. A gigantic figure appeared on the horizon. It was undoubtedly the figure of Mahoraga. His enormous body stood tall in the sky and looked down on everyone. He mocked, “Since all of you are dissatisfied, why don’t you invade the relic and snatch the place from me?”

His voice was domineering and provocative. The person who was controlling the will of Mahoraga now was naturally Ye Futian. He stared at the crowd. No one dared to raise any objections when the Emperor-level forces occupied the relics of the Eight Legions. Yet they had all come here to snatch the relic he seized?

The space actually fell silent after Ye Futian challenged them. Snatching the relic from him?

Who would dare enter the region?

“Ye Futian, the relics on the ancient continent are all public property. Every cultivator has the right to cultivate in them. You pocketed this relic on your own and hoarded many teachings of the Great Emperors. This is certainly not right. Now, you should hand the relic over to us and allow all the cultivators to comprehend within it. This is the right way. You should not breed greater mistakes,” Tongchan Buddha Lord said, his palms together. The Light of Buddha circled his body. He spoke nobly for the good of all mankind. He requested Ye Futian to open up the relic and allow everyone to cultivate in it.

“Repent, and you shall be saved,” the Buddhist cultivators who stood to the side of Tongchan Buddha Lord chanted. They acted as though Ye Futian had committed a grievous sin and needed salvation.

“Why would The Buddha allow such a hypocrite to exist in his sect?” Supreme Swordlord’s voice penetrated through space and was as sharp as a sword. His voice reverberated as he said, “Since you said that the relics in the ancient continent belong to the public, why don’t you ask the Buddhist sects to hand over the relics they occupied? The Divine Prefecture, the Devil World, and the other Emperor-level forces should open up their relics too and allow everyone to cultivate in them.”

Tongchan Buddha Lord explained, “The Great Emperors maintain the order of the world with the help of the Emperor-level forces. They should not be treated the same. Ye Futian is merely a junior. He is not qualified to seize control of an entire relic.” His voice was thunderous and could be heard by everyone throughout the space. Even though what he said was fallacy, all the cultivators outside the relic agreed with him.

There was no absolute right or wrong regarding the matters in the world. Of course, the cultivators would side with whichever side benefited them.

“What you say is true. The relics on the ancient continent belong to the public. Ye Futian seized control of this relic with his own ability. So, what’s wrong with him cultivating here?” Supreme Swordlord continued, “If you want to snatch the place from us, come right in. Stop running your mouth.”

Ye Futian declared loudly, “I once cultivated in the World of Buddhism and have close relationships with the Buddhist sects. I am indebted to them and hence, I do not wish to have grudges with you. However, a few of you have always targeted me. This is not your first time trying to bring me down. Since that’s the case, whatever happens between us is strictly our own personal affairs and is not related to the Buddhist sects. I believe that the Buddhist sects are full of mercy and are unlike scums like you. You bring shame to the World of Buddhism..” His voice echoed in the region.
