The Legend of Futian

Chapter 2077: Insignificant Renhuang

The world only knew Li Changsheng as the chief disciple of the Millet Emperor but didn’t know much else about him. All they had was a vague impression that Li Changsheng had been following the Millet Emperor for many years.

In fact, Li Changsheng had been with the Millet Emperor long before the founding of Wangshen Watchtower, but it was a time too long ago. It could be said that he had watched Wangshen Watchtower gradually gain its status and become worshipped by those in the Dongxiao Continent and became the faith of the land, an absolute holy land.

In the process, he had given much as he watched every disciple being admitted into Wangshen Watchtower.

He was present every time Wangshen Watchtower recruited disciples. When Ye Futian and the others entered Wangshen Watchtower, he was there as well and witnessed the conflict between Ye Futian and the ancient royal family of Yan.

Li Changsheng spent his most formative years at Wangshen Watchtower.

Now, Wangshen Watchtower had its name struck out and ran over by Renhuang from all over Dongxiao Continent; this was why his killing spree.

At this time, Li Changsheng was fully prepared to die. He was sitting at the peak of Wangshen Watchtower, the Divine Wheel of the ancient tree rooted in this land; its endless vines and branches bloomed throughout the entire Wangshen Watchtower.

However, higher above, a terrifying figure stood there, burning the world like a scorching sun. The area where he was burned with endless flames that came into being, appearing in every corner of Wangshen Watchtower, burning the branches and leaves of the ancient tree.

The Palace Lord of Alchemy Divine Palace had been in seclusion for many years, and his cultivation had already entered the state of transformation. He reached the peak of Renhuang many years ago and had been pursuing the ultimate supremacy ever since. This time with the disturbance at Wangshen Watchtower, he came to see any opportunity of the Great Path. He did not expect Li Changsheng to slaughter everyone indiscriminately. The deaths of the people from Alchemy Divine Palace aroused his great anger.

Wangshen Watchtower had been removed from the list. As someone who was about to die, Li Changsheng dared be so arrogant.

He squeezed his hands, and immediately, the entire world around him was burning. Black flames turned everything into ashes. Once full of vitality, those ancient branches, and leaves singed as soon as they were met with the flames, turning into ashes.

His pupils were filled with terrible flame as he cast a glance at Li Changsheng. Suddenly, countless black flames fell from the void, like countless black meteorites.

But Li Changsheng no longer cared. He sat there quietly as the ancient tree continued growing, its countless branches and leaves swayed like sharp blades, harvesting the lives of those who were within Wangshen Watchtower. He closed his eyes and sat there quietly. It was as if all this had nothing to do with him anymore.

When the flames invaded, a divine light screen formed around Li Changsheng. Nonetheless, it was being eroded by the flames little by little.

At the same time, the cultivators from the ancient royal family of Yan also launched their attacks. Two powerful cultivators of the Ninth Realm summoned a divine dragon whose presence shielded the sky. Its claws were as hard as steel, full of boundless sharpness. They pierced toward the light screen and tore it apart, causing cracks to appear.

But even so, they still weren’t able to get to Li Changsheng for quite a long time.

In the sky above, Yan Hanxing was full of murderous intent as he witnessed this. A loud dragon chant was heard, and the vast space of Wangshen Watchtower trembled violently. The rest of the Renhuang from the ancient royal family of Yan also vocalized the dragon chant at the same time. The Song of the Yang Dragon resonated, shattering the void as the Great Path of Terror frantically reverberated through the space.

An incomparable divine dragon appeared around Yan Hanxing, sheltering this corner of the sky.

This divine dragon swallowed up the Great Path between heaven and earth. Its massive body was flying high above the firmament, shaking the void. Its claws were glowing with terrible golden brilliance as if they were indestructible. The sight induced fear to all those who saw it.

“Li Changsheng, if you want to die, I will let you.”

As Yan Hanxing’s voice faded, the giant dragon swooped down, tore through the space with its extremely sharp claws, and broke through the defense.

Psst...

A sound rang out, and the claws of terror penetrated Li Changsheng, putting a hole in him. In front of the huge claws, Li Changsheng appeared extremely small; it was as if he was being nailed there. Truly, it was a cruel sight to behold.

“He’s dead.”

Everyone was trembling fiercely as they watched what had just transpired. Li Changsheng died in Wangshen Watchtower.

Those who Li Changsheng did not kill were thankful for their good fortune. In the few moments since Li Changsheng had set foot onto Wangshen Watchtower, many Renhuang in the Watchtower had perished. Their unceremonious deaths had frightened the others. Now, Li Changsheng was finally dead.

Blood drops fell on the land upon which Wangshen Watchtower stood, and Li Changsheng no longer felt any pain.

However, even in death, he kept his watch over this land. Wangshen Watchtower would always exist in this world.

Buzz...

Countless divine light splashed everywhere, dazzled many. They saw countless green light rays fly out of the pierced body, blending into the world into the ancient tree, into those endless leafy branches.

It seemed that Li Changsheng had integrated his spiritual soul into this land, taken root, and existed alongside the Wangshen Watchtower.

“He’s dead. His soul and spirit have dispersed.” When everyone saw this, they retracted their aura. Yan Hanxing, the Palace Lord of Alchemy Divine Palace, and the other Renhuang looked indifferently at the corpse below. Zong Chan was already killed in the previous battle, and now the chief disciple of the Millet Emperor was also dead, leaving only Ye Futian and the Millet Emperor himself.

The Millet Emperor was not their responsibility; only the likes of the Chief could handle him. Right now, as long as they could find Ye Futian and kill him, it would be considered the end of Wangshen Watchtower.

As for the others, they didn’t care much.

“Let’s go.” Yan Hanxing said, “No need to stay here any longer. Burn Wangshen Watchtower to the ground.”

The Chief had already ordered the name of Wangshen Watchtower to be struck out from Donghua Domain. From now on, there would be no more Wangshen Watchtower.

He turned around and was about to leave.

However, at this moment, a light suddenly lit up on a blanket of emerald green branches and leaves on the ground. It was as if there was a strange movement. No one noticed this, but after that, lights lit up the branches and leaves in this space as the branches and leaves were swaying, turning emerald green. A vigorous vitality emerged, allowing this almost withered ancient tree to suddenly rise from the ground, growing wildly.

Countless spots of light appeared between heaven and the earth, full of vitality. It was as if it existed everywhere. At this moment, the whole world was filled with light.

“What’s happening?”

The crowd felt that something was amiss. The Palace Lord of Alchemy Divine Palace immediately released a terrifying divine flame to destroy everything; however, the divine fire of the Great Path fell on the branches and leaves as those spots of light, but failed to destroy them. The branches and leaves were still swaying, and more and more light spots now lit up. A light turned into ancient branches and leaves. As the tree grew madly, getting taller. It was as if it was about to pierce through the sky.

“That’s not right...” Yan Hanxing seemed to sense that something was wrong. He released his divine consciousness and touched his brow chakra with his finger. Suddenly, a terrible divine light shot out from his eyes, looking at this space like a sharp sword. At this moment, he no longer saw an infinite spot of light but countless elusive figures.

And every single figure looked like Li Changsheng, everywhere at once.

“Impossible!” Yan Hanxing’s face changed to one of horror, and his heart throbbed. He had killed Li Changsheng with his own hands, and he saw Li Changsheng perish here with his own eyes. What was this that he sees before him?

This was impossible.

At this moment, many things went through in Yan Hanxing’s mind, and suddenly a thought came into his head, “Was this the Becoming?”

As the Crown Prince of the ancient royal family of Yan, he knew more about the unknown realm than others.

Because he knew, hence the fear.

Did he force a top-level existence to come into being?

Boom!

Yan Hanxing was no fool. As soon as the thought crossed his mind, he made a quick decision and immediately disappeared. In an instant, he had already fled into the distance. He shouted at the same time, “Retreat!”

Everyone saw that Yan Hanxing had disappeared immediately without even realizing what had happened; they only heard the order to retreat.

They looked at the place where Yan Hanxing was and saw that he had disappeared and could not be seen even from a distance. He had already moved away from Wangshen Watchtower and left with incredible speed.

Did he sense something had happened?

“Go.” Although the rest did not understand what had happened, upon Yan Hanxing’s order to retreat, they did not hesitate.

At this moment, the infinite divine light from heaven and the earth fell right on top of that ancient tree. Suddenly, the towering ancient tree pierced the sky, and its endless branches and leaves enveloped mountains and rivers.

At this moment, one of the branches was swiping in one direction. Some Renhuang intending on leaving in that direction were stopped. He had maintained the forward motion, but in the next moment, his body was split in two. He had died a horrid death on the spot.

In this instant, all the Renhuang felt a bitter coldness deep inside their bones. They didn’t even have the chance to realize what was happening before some Renhuang were slaughtered.

Buzz!

Above the divine tree, abundant branches and leaves swayed as the branches moved toward the Renhuang toward Wangshen Watchtower. They passed through the void before those people realized what was happening and watched these leafy branches passing through them. Immediately, a shower of blood fell from the void.

“Get out of here!”

Everyone’s expression changed to one in shock as they fled frantically. However, the ancient tree had reached up all the way to the heavens, filled the sky with its presence, and its shade shrouded this vast space. A clattering sound came out as countless branches and leaves fell from the sky, and the sound of slaughter seemed to go on forever.

At this moment, Wangshen Watchtower turned into a world of blood as each and every one of the powerful Renhuang was killed off like ants.

Even though he was the Palace Lord of Alchemy Divine Palace and the flame upon his body was so fierce that it could set the mountains and the oceans on fire, the moment when the branches and leaves came down, the flame was put out. Its defense of the Great Path was as fragile as paper and could not withstand a single blow.

The branches and leaves passed through his body and instantly solidified his body in the void. His face was full of horror and disbelief as he fixed his eyes on the divine tree.

“The Becoming!” he spat! As his soul turned to dust, he was obliterated without any power to fight back.

Outside of Wangshen Watchtower, there were some cultivators, even some at the Renhuang-level, who would never be able to forget what they saw at this moment. The divine tree penetrated through heaven, and as the branches and leaves slammed down, these Renhuang were as insignificant as ants!
