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

“It’s coming...”

Seeing the scene unfold before him, Shangguan Hong was more certain. It seemed like Qiuye did not read the situation wrongly. The Eastern Deity Island was willing to declare war for Ye Futian.

“Flame Emperor.” Some people turned to look at an elderly man who was wearing robes with flame motifs. He had long hair and beard, an extraordinary aura and an ethereal air about him. Around him a terrifyingly hot air flowed. He was one of the very powerful level-eight figures in the Penglai Continent, and was well-versed in the Path of the Flame, and so his Flame of the Path was extremely fearsome.

He had come from a great distance away, and appeared in the group high in the skies surrounding everyone else. He had come to aid the Eastern Deity Island.

“Emperor of Darkness.”

Again, a couple of people looked towards another direction. Among the Renhuangs who came to render aid, a number were renowned figures in the Penglai Continent, and some were even familiar with the various factions. They all actually had ties with the Eastern Deity Island?

“For so many years the Eastern Island had never been concerned about what was happening in the outside world, and neither had it participated in any conflict in the Penglai Continent. With so many years that have passed by, the Penglai Continent had already forgotten about the existence of the Eastern Deity Island.” At this moment, behind Bai Mu, an elderly man with a high level of cultivation spoke aloud. He was an alchemy master in the Eastern Deity Island. Beside him were several practitioners.

For so many years, while they had not concerned themselves with the events of the outer world, it did not mean that they had completely isolated themselves. Many people from the Penglai Continent had come to the Eastern Deity Island to seek elixirs. Having received favors from the Eastern Deity Island, with a single call for aid, these people would naturally come over to help.

The Eastern Deity Island of the past were the absolute rulers of the Penglai Continent, and its influence even extended far beyond the Penglai Continent.

However, even though the various factions of the Penglai Continent knew that Ye Futian had already joined the Eastern Deity Island, they still dared to try to capture him, and even requested that the Eastern Deity Island stay out of this matter. Obviously, they had almost forgotten just how high the status of the Eastern Deity Island was on the Penglai Continent in the past.

Hearing his words, Jun Xiaoyao’s and Yun Mu’s expressions changed slightly. Of course they knew just how powerful the Eastern Deity Island was in the past. However, humans had the tendency to forget, and with the passage of countless years, the fact that the Eastern Deity Island was still the ultimate ruler of the Penglai Continent was gradually being forgotten. They did understand that the Eastern Deity Island was certainly not weak, and could even likely be stronger than any of them. However, the two powerful factions were joining hands to capture only one person, so the Eastern Deity Island should not even have bothered to interfere to such an extent.

Perhaps in the past, they might not have.

This time, however, they had obviously guessed wrongly.

The entire strength of the Eastern Deity Island had emerged, and not only that, they had already gathered virtuosos from all places beforehand. Now, in this vast region, the pressure that they exuded was so terrifying that practitioners who had a low level of cultivation did not even dare get close to them, and retreated quickly to a safe distance from this battlefield.

This time, the Eastern Deity Island had re-emerged in the Penglai Continent.

“Every ten years the Eastern Deity Island will gift opportunities of the Great Path, and naturally every practitioner on the Penglai Continent is respectable. We do not mean to provoke anyone, but this person has slayed many Renhuangs from my Jun Family, and there are quite a few people who were invited, and the Jun Family must give them a satisfactory explanation and conclusion. We do not have any intention of targeting the Eastern Deity Island. This time our only target is him. There is no reason for you to involve the Eastern Deity Island,” Jun Xiaoyao’s tone seemed to be less overbearing than before. It was obvious that he did not want to clash with the Eastern Deity island head-on. Furthermore, there was still the Shangguan Clan at the side looking out for chances to strike. If things really progressed to an all-out war, even if they could emerge victorious, it would only be a pyrrhic victory; there would be no winners.

“Just now the goddess had already explained very clearly that the Eastern Deity Island has its own rules. They entered the Eastern Deity Island to kill Pavilion Master Ye; do you expect him to let himself be killed without retaliating at all?” the elderly man said coldly. “If the Eastern Deity Island were the Eastern Deity Island of the past, would you have the guts to come and ask for Ye Futian’s life?”

In other words, they did not treat the current Eastern Deity Island seriously. They thought that no matter what, the Eastern Deity Island would not dare to declare war.

Of course, anyone should follow the Eastern Deity Island’s rules on the island. However, we have waited till he has left the Eastern Deity Island before acting. I’m sure we did not affect the Eastern Deity Island, right?” Jun Xiaoyao replied. “Why would the Eastern Deity Island interfere with the grudge between the Jun Family and Ye Futian?”

“Let’s not waste more time talking uselessly. Act now,” the elderly man said. As he finished speaking, a breath-stopping pressure permeated the vast space. Jun Xiaoyao’s eyes turned cold as he looked at the practitioners of the Eastern Deity Island. He did not expect the Eastern Deity Island to act without hesitation at all.

In fact, the scene before his eyes suggested that they had been preparing for this battle for quite some time already.

All for the sake of Ye Futian.

However, the situation now was irreversible. Even if they were willing to let it go now, the other party might not be willing anymore.

Outside this region remained the virtuosos from the various continents. They all wanted to witness the battle before them. They did not expect that they could spectate such a massive battle even after leaving the Eastern Deity Island.

This battle would completely determine the future hierarchy of the Penglai Continent.

No one would have initially thought that because of one Ye Futian, or rather the one small incident of conflict that occurred in the Penglai Deity Lake caused by Jun Qiuyan’s provocation of Ye Futian, could eventually lead to the change in the social structure of the Penglai Continent.

Even Jun Qiuyan himself did not foresee this day. Even though his cultivation had been crippled, he could still sense the terrifying might of the Great Path circulating heaven and earth. He felt a tremble in his heart on sight of the majestic Renhuang armies. This time, the Jun Family were not the only ones with a Renhuang army; their opponent also had a huge army of Renhuangs.

Due to his personal matters, not only was his cultivation crippled, but he was also forced to wage war with the Eastern Deity Island.

Jun Xiaoyao stepped out in mid-air, and an incomparably strong might of the Great Path descended upon the space. In the heavens above, a golden divine light radiated out into the vast space. A humongous magnificent ancient palace formed from the divine light. The ancient palace had nine floors, and it seemed to be built from pure gold. Its sheer might pressurized heaven and earth. It was his Divine Wheel of the Great Path.

Jun Xiaoyao waved his palm, and an aurora appeared through the vast heavens. The nine-floored ancient palace pressed down menacingly, and a terrifying rumble resounded throughout. Many Great Paths were shattered straight away. Several halos of the ancient palace also formed from the divine light, and hammered straight down, attacking in the direction of Ye Futian.

Wherever it passed, destruction followed.

From the Eastern Deity Island’s side, an elderly man stepped out and with one step he crossed the vast empty space, coming to a stop below the ancient palace. He faced Jun Xiaoyao, and between heaven and earth a divine matrix appeared, radiating outwards into the boundless space and creating a barrier. The ancient palace plummeted downwards with a thunderous rumble, and collided onto the matrix, but it was unable to destroy the barrier.

In another direction, Yun Mu of the Yun Clan also stepped out. He emanated the overpowering aura of a level-nine practitioner, pressurizing the entire area. Seeing him act, Shangguan Hong crossed the distance with a step and faced Yun Mu straight on.

The two of them each controlled a top-tier faction and disputes had existed between them since a long time ago. Now that things had progressed to this stage, they both had no choice but to wage war.

It was a fight for their fates. The one who lost would be fated to stay defeated forever.

The other virtuosos also started unleashing their attacks. Looking towards the battlefield, Ye Futian also walked into it.

Since the war had already begun, then he could only annihilate the Jun Family and the Yun Clan!
