The various top cultivators charged towards Mahoraga in the sky; they knew he was the most crucial target. Ye Futian could only control this region because he had merged with the will of Mahoraga. Only by killing him could they break through to the relic.

If they attacked, it also gave Ye Futian no time to handle the other cultivators below.

Right then, a consuming power enveloped all the invaders in the storm. They revealed cautious looks as they all sensed danger. Aside from the consuming power, many cultivators appeared around them. They were the cultivators of Ziwei Imperial Palace and the West Imperial Palace.

Just then, the Vajra Divine Child appeared in a different location. The aura he emanated was frightening. His body seemed to be forged from gold and was extremely oppressive. However, he suddenly sensed an extremely dangerous aura. He immediately shifted his gaze and looked in one direction. A terrifying aura of the Great Path burst forth from his body. An ancient golden Vajra god appeared behind him. At the same time, he smacked his palms together and formed a gigantic divine seal of the Vajra Region.

A beam of dazzling golden divine light shot across the space. The light descended and immediately pierced the divine seal of the Vajra Region. A loud clang followed as the divine seal was directly shattered and destroyed. The unparalleled golden divine light continued. In an instant, it pierced his golden divine body.

Bang! Sounds of metal clashing could be heard. The Vajra Divine Child lowered his head to take a look at his flesh. He discovered that his flesh was torn apart. Countless cracks appeared on his golden body. The weapon that hit him was a golden halberd, which was an imperial arm. The divine light it radiated was blinding.

The cultivator who attacked him was Fang Cun. With an imperial arm in his hand, he charged towards the Vajra Divine Child. Clearly, over the last year, Fang Cun had successfully resonated with the golden halberd and inherited its will.

“No…” cried the Vajra Divine Child before his body exploded into pieces and turned into endless golden divine light. Both his flesh and his soul perished instantly.

The Vajra Region was one of the Ancient God Clans. The Vajra Divine Child’s current cultivation was at the Tribulation Plane. He was extremely powerful. He had also obtained some fateful encounters in one of the relics. However, he was instantly reduced to dust by a single attack.

A Divine Child from an Ancient God Clan had died tragically before everyone’s eyes.

The other cultivators from the Vajra Region attacked Fang Cun all at once. Fang Cun pointed his golden halberd forward, and immediately, images of divine halberds pierced through the space and penetrated every one of them. The cultivators faced the same fate as the Vajra Divine Child as their bodies disintegrated.

Fang Cun had undergone the first Divine Tribulation of the Great Path and had inherited the Will of an Emperor. On top of that, he now wielded the golden halberd, which was an imperial arm. The cultivators from the Ancient God Clans were no match for him.

Right at this moment, an unparalleled pressure loomed over Fang Cun. He raised his head and saw a Vajra Region divine seal hovering above him, covering this part of the sky. Fang Cun raised his golden halberd and charged upwards. However, with a loud thud, the Vajra Region divine seal descended and directly crushed Fang Cun. Spatial divine light shone, and he disappeared from his original spot right away, reappearing in another location.

Fang Cun looked up and saw the cultivator who had attacked him. The latter was an elder from the Vajra Region. His aura was rich and terrifying. He was a near-deity. He was not the current Vajra Region Lord; instead, he was the previous Vajra Region Lord. He had not come out from seclusion for many years. He had been cultivating silently in the Vajra Region and paid no heed to worldly affairs.

He had been in seclusion until the relic of the gods surfaced. Everyone came here. He also came here in search of fateful encounters. Finally, he managed to break through the bottleneck, which had been troubling him for 1,000 years, in this continent. His cultivation had now advanced to the Near-Deity Plane.

Sensing the terrifying aura from the elder, Fang Cun’s aura fluctuated. His gaze was fixed on the other party. He was well-aware of how powerful this elder was. Even with the imperial arm, Fang Cun would most likely not be able to defeat him.

“You deserve death,” said the elder as he stared at Fang Cun amidst the storm. An overwhelming might descended. The elder pointed a finger forward. This attack contained the Divine Force of the Vajra Region, which was indestructible and irresistible. If Fang Cun were hit by this attack, a hole would form on his body.

Fang Cun attempted to retreat, but he discovered that he was confined in this space by a menacing force. As he watched the attack plowing towards him, a figure suddenly appeared in front of him. Xi Chiyao slashed out with her sword. Her Raindrop Divine Sword caused rain droplets to fly out, colliding with the elder’s attack. The elder’s attack disintegrated upon being struck by the raindrops.

“West Imperial Palace, you are seeking death,” the old monster from the Vajra Region warned coldly.

Xi Chiyao wielded a divine sword, and her pupils were frightening. Her gaze was akin to the gaze of the West Emperor as she glared at the other party. The West Imperial Palace and Ziwei Imperial Palace had always been allies. The former chose to side with Ziwei Imperial Palace during this chaotic age. Xi Chiyao was uncertain of what the future held, but at the very least, she would take responsibility for her own choice.

“I did not expect to meet Senior from the Vajra Region here. Allow me to get a few pointers from you,” said the original West Imperial Palace Lord as he moved forward. His aura intensified as he approached his opponent. In an instant, the divine light of the Great Path moved around him, and a domain materialized in their surrounding region. This caused the old monster from the Vajra Region to narrow his eyes.

“You have actually advanced to the next plane. Since that’s the case, why did you pass down Raindrop Divine Sword to her?” questioned the old monster indifferently. He had cultivated for many years before he could break through the next plane. The original West Imperial Palace Lord was his junior, yet he had already broken through the shackles of the plane and was at the Near-Deity Plane as well. All the other leaders of the Ancient God Clans had yet to break through to the next plane. The original West Imperial Palace Lord was the only one who had succeeded in doing so so far.

The original West Imperial Palace Lord was a famous legendary figure when he was young. However, after he took up the mantle of Palace Lord, he seldom appeared in public. He had been devoted to his cultivation all these years. In reality, he had broken through to the Near-Deity Plane even before he came to the relic, but he kept his ability a secret. He let Xi Chiyao be the leader of their group instead.

As for passing down Raindrop Divine Sword to Xi Chiyao, the Great Emperor decided to do so. Nevertheless, the original West Imperial Palace Lord did not need to step down from his position. He did so in order to build Xi Chiyao up.

Speaking of his resignation, it was related to him breaking through to the next plane. With the help of the pills concocted by Ye Futian, the original West Imperial Palace Lord was able to seize the critical moment to break through the shackles of the plane. This incident made him understand that the West Imperial Palace could go further if they collaborated with Ye Futian. Since Xi Chiyao had a good relationship with Ye Futian, the original West Imperial Palace Lord stepped down and allowed Xi Chiyao to take the lead. He would assume the role of her advisor instead.

Shifting the focus away from the old monster and the original West Imperial Palace Lord, war erupted everywhere in the surrounding regions. The cultivators of Ziwei Imperial Palace and the West Imperial Palace launched a sneak attack on their opponent amidst the storm and managed to slaughter quite a number of cultivators.

Right now, Shenyan Buddha Lord, who had been floating in the heavens, glowed with 1000-Zhang Light of Buddha. A pair of frightening Divine Eyes appeared in the sky. The Divine Eyes shot out menacing divine halos towards the relic. Everything became as clear as day instantaneously. The positions of the cultivators, who had been hiding in the dark, were exposed.

Within the storm, the cultivators of Ziwei Imperial Palace and the West Imperial Palace were visible.

“Everyone, let’s finish them off first,” Shenyan Buddha Lord said. With the Divine Eyes, there was nowhere for their opponents to hide even in the storm. Both sides were within the terrible storm. It was just that the people from the outside had to withstand the terrifying consuming power, whereas the cultivators of Ziwei Imperial Palace did not.

Just then, an extreme pressure descended. In the heavens above, a gigantic figure of Mahoraga once again coalesced. Right now, Mahoraga was actually wielding the imperial arm, Sky Tremor. Sky Tremor kept growing larger until it blocked out the sky. Terrifying divine halos flowed within it.

Mahoraga lifted Sky Tremor and came crashing towards Shenyan Buddha Lord’s direction.

In an instant, the entire space shook violently. Countless Tremoring Pulses swept out and destroyed everything in their path. Almost everything down below was turned to dust.

A beam of divine light immediately charged towards Shenyan Buddha Lord. He felt his body become unbelievably heavy. Unparalleled divine halos shot out of his pupils. A Buddhist divine sword appeared from within his body. It could kill all demons and was also an imperial arm. Clearly, the members of the Western Heaven had also reaped huge benefits in the relics.

Both Shenyan Buddha Lord and Tongchan Buddha Lord brought along imperial arms. They also achieved breakthroughs in their cultivation.

Rumble. A terrifying storm swept out. The attacks clashed. The divine sword was sent flying backwards and Shenyan Buddha Lord’s figure plummeted down at a rapid pace. With a loud rumble, his entire person crashed down into the ground. A huge, deep hole appeared. In the heavens above, the pair of Divine Eyes also disappeared. They were shattered by the Tremoring Pulses.

“Everyone, let’s join forces,” said Tongchan Buddha Lord. He, along with other cultivators, floated into the sky and astonishing aura burst forth from their figures. A single attack from Ye Futian had sent Shenyan Buddha Lord flying. It was apparent that with the power of Mahoraga, the former was more powerful than the Buddha Lords.. It was essentially impossible for them to stand against him individually, yet alone kill him. They could only do so by joining forces!
