The Legend of Futian
Chapter 2442: Mutual Betrayal
Lord Liberty and Lord Ye unleashed even greater power of the Great Path. The illusory figure of the god which stood behind Lord Liberty sent out another palm strike. The gigantic palm crushed the heavens. Dull rumbling sounds thundered. It was as though the sky was collapsing.
Far away, on the ground of the region where the attack was sent out, gigantic palm marks appeared. The ground sank. The scene was shocking to behold. If anyone were standing in that region, they would have been crushed to death.
Lord Ye did not stop attacking either. The destructive storm intensified. Halberds surged into Lord Six Desires’ domain of the Great Path, intending to pierce his body.
Under the ferocious attacks of two great cultivators, Lord Six Desires could no longer escape unscathed.
“You bullies have gone too far,” barked Lord Six Desires coldly. As he said this, his body turned into a body of the Great Path. Divine light dazzled around him. It was as though his body was no longer made of flesh; instead, it was made of the Way. His body was translucent, and golden divine light radiated from within it.
His body expanded quickly. As Lord Six Desires grew larger, his body resonated with his domain in the sky.
“Since you have acted so presumptuously, pay the price for your actions,” Lord Six Desires uttered these words coldly. A beam of divine light shot up to the heavens and swept across space. The next moment, an unparalleled divine halo burst forth from Lord Six Desires’ body. An enormous illusory figure, which was akin to a god, appeared and merged with the domain.
The presence of the god could be sensed in every corner of this space.
Golden destructive vines and leaves extended outwards and enshrouded the space. Lord Liberty and Lord Ye were also swathed by vines and leaves. Their facial expressions turned somewhat ugly as they looked at Lord Six Desires. This fellow had gone berserk.
The destructive divine light invaded where they stood. The branches that spread out curled towards them, even towards the gigantic divine illusory figure. They seemed to want to consume them in this domain of the Great Path.
“Lord Initial Zen, destroy his original body,” said Lord Ye. They clashed directly with Lord Six Desires and were now restraining each other. It was difficult for them to pull themselves away. Only Lord Initial Zen was still in peak condition and was not entangled in Lord Six Desires’ attack. He could still make his move.
Lord Six Desires had already gone mad. He was attacking them without restraint. All his attacks were mutually destructive. If Lord Initial Zen were to attack now, he only needed to attack Lord Six Desires’ original body and shatter it to kill him. Their chances of victory were extremely high.
After all, they were three Lords joining forces. It would not be a surprise for them to be able to kill Lord Six Desires. It was now time for the decisive victory.
Lord Initial Zen’s body shone with divine light. The golden light of Buddha was dazzling. An astonishing pressure was faintly emanating from him. However, he stood there motionlessly, seemingly having no intention of attacking. This scene stunned Lord Ye and Lord Liberty.
“Lord Initial Zen, what are you waiting for? Kill him to prevent future trouble,” Lord Liberty shouted. Lord Six Desires’ attack of the Great Path had already entangled his divine illusory figure. The destructive light of the catastrophe that was at its peak was spreading towards him. This was the best time to kill Lord Six Desires. If Lord Initial Zen did not attack him now, the two Lords might be in trouble. Lord Six Desires already disregarded all consequences.
However, after hearing Lord Liberty’s words, Lord Initial Zen still showed no signs of wanting to attack. He just stood there. This caused Lord Liberty and Lord Ye to feel uneasy. Their facial expressions suddenly became exceptionally ugly. They clearly realized what was going on.
Lord Initial Zen did not intend to attack.
He was doing this intentionally.
No wonder Lord Initial Zen had not truly attacked all this while. He had actually intentionally done so to backstab them. If the three of them were all gravely injured, who would swoop in to reap the benefits?
Lord Initial Zen was also from a Buddhist sect and was in the same sect as Saint Zhenchan. Even if Lord Six Desires escaped, among the three of them, the one who worried the least about Lord Six Desires seeking revenge against him was also Lord Initial Zen.
When they thought of this, the two of them felt regret for being so careless. They initially thought that there would be no issues with the three of them joining forces to kill Lord Six Desires. Yet, they never imagined that Lord Initial Zen would actually stab them in the back at a time like this.
“Lord Six Desires, why don’t we all stop attacking at the same time?” Lord Ye suggested decisively. Since Lord Initial Zen betrayed him and Lord Liberty, then he would give up. He would rather forsake the mission than let Lord Initial Zen’s scheme come to fruition.
“Alright. Both of you, stop first,” said Lord Six Desires. Lord Ye was hesitant to stop attacking first, but Lord Six Desires was in a state of self-defense. Unless Lord Ye and Lord Liberty ceased attacking, it was impossible for the latter to remove his domain first. Lord Six Desires’ request was founded.
Lord Ye communicated with Lord Liberty through transmitted thought. Then, the power of the Great Path exerted by the two of them gradually lessened. They seemed to be withdrawing their attacks slowly.
When Lord Six Desires sensed this, he stopped attacking them too. However, he did not retract his domain.
Right at this moment, an overwhelming might suddenly burst forth. Endless golden lights of catastrophe pierced the space and charged towards Lord Liberty and Lord Ye.
At the same time, Lord Ye and Lord Liberty also let out a roar. Their bodies transformed into Way, destroying everything that came in their path.
Both parties actually happened to launch an attack at the same time. Clearly, they were wary of the other party and had no intention of giving up the battle at all. They intended to first lower the guard of the other party before they struck a killing blow. After they experienced the betrayal of Lord Initial Zen, how could they possibly trust each other?
All three of them plotted to strike and kill the other party first.
Standing at the side, Lord Initial Zen quietly observed everything that was happening. The three strong cultivators delivered their strongest blows simultaneously. Destructive divine light spread out, forming a halo in the sky. The ring expanded outwards towards the vast space.
Far away from the battlefield, many cultivators on the ground saw the destructive halo. They could sense the menacing auras brewing all the way on the battlefield. Their hearts trembled violently. How scary was that blow?
Ye Futian’s body was protected by the Light of Buddha, but he was still sent flying backward by the shockwave. His divine body shook, and he was pushed back a great distance. He was no longer in the region where the Six Desires Heavenly Palace used to be.
After the destructive divine light dissipated, when Ye Futian looked over in their direction once again, Lord Liberty, Lord Ye as well as Lord Six Desires appeared in three different locations. All three of them were gravely injured.
Powerful figures such as Lord Liberty and Lord Ye were actually dyed red in blood. Their auras were weak. Golden destructive divine light circled around their bodies. It seemed that it was still destroying their bodies and spiritual souls. They had suffered severe injuries.
Of course, Lord Six Desires was equally injured. Right now, he was extremely frail. His current aura paled in comparison with his aura at peak condition. His body was slightly bent over, and he was not standing straight. Blood oozed out from the corner of his mouth. His spiritual soul was damaged, and his ability was drastically weakened.
When Ye Futian saw this scene, his heart stirred. He did not know how much of Lord Six Desires’ ability was left. However, he had paid the price.
Currently, among the four powerful cultivators, only Lord Initial Zen was still at peak condition. He had been observing on the sidelines and had not participated in the battle. After the destructive light halo dissipated, he stood amidst the Light of Buddha. The golden Light of Buddha shone and was dazzling beyond comparison.
At the moment, Lord Initial Zen would be the person to decide everything!
