The Legend of Futian

Chapter 1688 Death of an Era

When the Lady of Brahma’s Pure Sky arrived at the imperial city of the Heavenly Mandate Dynasty, the war had already been going on for a long time. She stood far above the sky, looking at the battlefield.

The entire palace had been turned into a ruin, with many from the Heavenly Mandate Dynasty buried underneath. Some were of the Renhuang existence.

The entire imperial city was permeated with a terrible storm of the Great Path. There were battles taking place in different places, and there were also Renhuang figures who had fallen.

A quarter of the buildings in this most prosperous main city of Heavenly Mandate Realm were destroyed, with cracks appearing on the ground. What was before everyone’s eyes could no longer be discerned as a place that was once the most prosperous place in all of the Heavenly Mandate Realm.

The collapse of a dynasty.

Even though she was an empress at the peak of her power, the Lady of Brahma’s Pure Sky was still not at peace. She gazed at the white-haired figure who was standing above the palace.

Had it really been destroyed for good?

Of course, she could also see the battlefield where the Overlord of the Heavenly Mandate Dynasty was located. At this time, the Overlord was hit with another violent impact. The punch from the Dragon Master that could break apart space blasted on the armor that he was wearing. A mouthful of blood came out of his mouth, and the Overlord of the Heavenly Mandate Dynasty was already very weak at this moment.

Encircled and suppressed by three people of the same level power, he could not keep fighting for much longer. But he couldn’t leave now even if he wanted to.

If it weren’t for the three great cultivators who were being overly cautious and choosing not to take too much risk, perhaps the battle would have ended already. However, because they were so sure of their victory, they were in no hurry. They chose to consume the energy of the other until death so that none of the three were injured.

There were also Renhuang, who took action against Ye Futian. Renhuang who were lower in rank were not stopped by anyone but were allowed to be obliterated by Ye Futian and the others. Only those of the Divine Wheel Fifth Order or above were stopped by the others. If Renhuang who were positioned higher above unleashed their attack remotely, Ye Futian and the others would enter the spatial divine implement.

They didn’t leave him with even a glimmer of hope or opportunity.

"Retreat." The three cultivators from Golden Divine Nation knew that no more could not be done today. It was not their time to kill Ye Futian. If they persisted, it was highly likely that they would also end up dying here.

The Divine Elephant Emperor stepped forward, wanting to chase them down, but Ye Futian merely said, "Let them go."

Only then did the god elephant emperor’s footsteps stop, and three arcs of golden divine lights sailed across the void and disappeared.

The main target today was the Heavenly Mandate Dynasty, and it was not so easy to detain the other party. Another reason was that they planned on destroying the Heavenly Mandate Dynasty once and for all, but Golden Divine Nation was a different story. If the Divine Elephant Emperor had really dragged them into killing the top figures of the Golden Divine Nation, then the Overlord of Divine Nation would have an excuse to kill them in return.

He didn’t want to drag down his allies.

"I’ll go up and help," the Divine Elephant Emperor said. The overall situation had been determined, and now they just need to detain the Overlord of the Heavenly Mandate Dynasty.

Then this war would be completely over.

However, he had not yet reached the battlefield when the fiery flames above the sky flooded the void. It was a golden sacred fire that burnt heaven and earth as a golden divine solar spear pierced through the armor worn by the Overlord of the Heavenly Mandate Dynasty. In an instant, the infinite golden divine solar fire rushed into the other’s body.

Instantly, the Overlord of the Heavenly Mandate Dynasty turned into a man on fire, a divine general bathing in the divine fire, except that the divine fire was burning his body madly.

Boom! The fireball dropped down from the sky, and someone else descended. The Dragon Master’s Purple Gold Divine Fist blasted on his opponent’s body, stopping the Overlord’s fall, and causing his body to tremble violently.

As the bright celestial light bloomed, Jiang Chengzi added another blow.

Numerous people in the imperial city raised their heads and looked there. They saw the master of the Heavenly Mandate Dynasty, falling down weakly from the sky above.

With a loud bang, the body of the Overlord was smashed into the ruins, with the three top figures landing at the same time, appearing in three different locations. Even at this moment, they were still guarding against his possible escape, displaying a degree of caution.

There was a sound that came from the ruins as a figure climbed out from the inside and stood on top of it. His whole body was still radiant all over, even though he had almost nothing left. It seemed that he was still unable to let go of his dignity as the Overlord of the Heavenly Mandate Dynasty. That brilliant divine light seemed to be burning up the last of his power.

Those eyes looked past through the void toward Ye Futian, who was in the distance. He had never thought that he would fall into the hands of a youngster. Once upon a time, he had not even considered Ye Futian as an opponent for his son, Yi Tianyu.

But the white-haired young man who had been standing there was the one who choreographed this battle and the destruction of the Heavenly Mandate Dynasty.

How very sad was all this...

"Your Majesty." There were those from the Heavenly Mandate Dynasty who were still alive, and they looked at the Overlord who was standing there, feeling extremely sad.

He suddenly smiled, somewhat ironically, and said, "I have stepped over Gu Tianxing, but not a youngster. However, Gu Tianxing still did not win. If it were not for you, I wouldn’t necessarily lose."

Gu Dongliu was also at Ye Futian’s side. He admitted that he had lost to Ye Futian, but he still did not admit that he had lost to Gu Tianxing. The one who defeated the Heavenly Mandate Dynasty was not Gu Dongliu.

"It’s just that time has moved up a little," said Ye Futian, expressionless and looking at the Overlord of Heavenly Mandate Dynasty.

Without him, the third senior brother would not show up so quickly, so he would bear it and cultivate until one day, he could set foot on the Heavenly God Realm under his own power.

Actually, the battle between third senior brother and Yi Tianyu had proven many things.

"Let me understand it before I die: how did you persuade them?" The Overlord of the Heavenly Mandate Dynasty looked at Ye Futian, and then at the top figures of the three major demonic clans, "Giants of the three major demonic clans would rather take orders from a youngster?"

At this moment, he still felt all this was extremely absurd.

He didn’t understand why he had lost.

"Why did war erupt between the Celestial Gate of Vast Heaven and Heavenly Mandate Dynasty?" Ye Futian asked.

"Gu Tianxing was too domineering," the other responded.

"Because Gu Tianxing was too strong, the Heavenly Mandate Dynasty felt threatened. It was not because he was too domineering, but because the Heavenly Mandate Dynasty would not allow him to have the same kind of overbearing existence as themselves, is this correct?" Ye Futian asked.

"Yes," the Overlord explained.

"The Heavenly Mandate Dynasty is powerful, so you would never allow another to be stronger than yourself. Any force that threatens the position of the Heavenly Mandate Dynasty is not allowed to exist, isn’t that right? So, the Heavenly Mandate Dynasty will always be the overlord of the Heavenly Mandate Realm, but the upper limit of the Heavenly Mandate Realm will always only be the Heavenly Mandate Dynasty."

Ye Futian sarcastically said, "Even without us, there would have been another Gu Tianxing. The destruction of the Heavenly Mandate Dynasty was just a matter of time.

"You don’t have the true strength to climb to the top, and yet prevented the others from crossing over. How could you not be destroyed?" Ye Futian continued, "After the destruction of the Heavenly Mandate Dynasty, I will join forces with other principalities in this land to create an academy for the realm, to preach to the world so that all cultivators of this land would have the opportunity to become stronger and pursue the Great Path.

"I never thought about being the overlord of the Heavenly Mandate Realm, nor did I want to command all the venerable figures of the Heavenly Mandate Realm. That that was the reason why they were willing to help me."

The Overlord of the Heavenly Mandate Dynasty looked at that figure and was silent for a moment. Suddenly he smiled, a little presumptuously. He looked at those around him, the Dragon Master, the Golden Raven Demonic Lord, and the Divine Elephant Emperor, and said," Do you believe him?"

However, he found, sadly, that the three powerful cultivators just looked at him indifferently. His presumptuous voice, in the ears of the others, seemed to be just pathetic.

He understood the expressions behind these eyes, and he discovered, sadly, that the three major demonic masters actually believed it all.

They believed that Ye Futian could deliver.

People are different from each other. The Overlord of the Heavenly Mandate Dynasty and Ye Futian were clearly different kinds of people. Perhaps, the Emperor of the Heavenly Mandate Dynasty could never understand Ye Futian, but everyone else did. The facts were in front of them that Ye Futian had allowed their progeny to cast the perfect divine wheel, and also promised to build the academy for preaching.

If Ye Futian did not wish to see someone else become stronger than him and didn’t want to look over his shoulders, he, Gu Dongliu and the few others would have been the sole owners of the perfect divine wheels in Heavenly Mandate Realm, and he wouldn’t have the idea of establishing the academy.

Therefore, in this battle, they withheld their opinion by mutual understanding, and the master of 10,000 Divine Mountain was of the same mind. So he told the palace lord of Violet Heavenly Palace that Gu Tianxing was not the one who could lead them, but Ye Futian would be.

"You can die now." Ye Futian looked at the Overlord, who was laughing wildly and then lost his voice. There was some pity in his eyes.

The Overlord understood the meaning in his eyes. As a dominant figure of the Heavenly Mandate Realm, Ye Futian was looking at him with pity in his eyes.

He suddenly laughed again, arrogantly, as a terrifying divine light erupted from him. The extremely powerful way of killing directly slew toward Ye Futian, ignoring the space distance between them.

Above him, the giant foot of the golden divine elephant stomped down, directly on top of his head.

Boom!

A dull sound came out, and the will of the Way dissipated. The ruins were flattened by one stomp, and a huge pit appeared.

In the distance, some from inside the imperial city of Heavenly Mandate Dynasty couldn’t bear to look. After all, it was the Emperor of the Heavenly Mandate Dynasty, the giant who had commanded the Heavenly Mandate Realm for many years. Dying in such a miserable manner was a sad affair, to say the least.

The Lady of Brahma’s Pure Sky also trembled in her heart; had that one single stomp killed him?

She turned to walk away, but her heart was not at peace. She was thinking about Ye Futian’s words and also thinking about the destruction of the Heavenly Mandate Dynasty.

Ye Futian also left. And what followed was naturally the clearing out of the battlefield.

At sunset, everyone had already retreated. Some were still crying in the ruins, but more were looking at the ruins and try to sort out a myriad of emotions.

"An era is over," someone whispered, which resonated with many others.

The divine dynasty that had ruled the Heavenly Mandate Realm for countless years, and dominated the central area of ​​the Realm for many more had been annihilated in a day. The era that belonged to the Heavenly Mandate Dynasty was now over.

"A new era will also begin," someone said, and everyone was looking at the speaker.

The end of an era naturally meant the beginning of a new one.

"I will wait here for the establishment of the academy," the speaker whispered. Many people’s eyes showed a fierce passion, which also expressed their heart’s true desire.

This ruin had buried the Heavenly Mandate Dynasty, but there would be a better era yet!
