Chapter 2641: Rebirth

In the silent space, golden flame and blood tainted the land. Fresh blood continued to gush into Sky Tremor in the ground and merged with it.

The flowing blood actually shimmered with a life aura. It wrapped around Sky Tremor. Then, the flesh, which had been disintegrated, reformed and took the shape of a human. The silhouette of a human appeared.

A storm stirred up in the surroundings. The aura of the Great Path circulated and merged into the human form. Gradually, the illusory figure materialized, and a person was formed.

The person had a handsome face. His looks resembled Wang Xiao’s. However, there seemed to be something different about him. The gaze of this person was more piercing than that of Wang Xiao. He seemed to be looking down on everything.

It was as though Wang Xiao had come back to life.

A terrifying aura flowed around his body. Shocking storms of the Great Path appeared around him and surged into his body frenziedly. With a flash, he shot up to the high heavens. Astonishing storms stirred up in the vast space.

The entire sky was covered in storms. The wind howled, and the clouds churned. Everything was gushing into his body.

“Huff.” Wang Xiao took a deep breath. He then revealed a smile. His smiling face was completely different from the dispirited Wang Xiao before this.

The old Wang Xiao had always felt frustrated since he couldn’t defeat Ye Futian. Even though he tried hard to suppress his emotions, it still showed on his face.

However, one could no longer detect that bitterness in the sparkling eyes of this current Wang Xiao. His gaze gave off a domineering vibe.

He gazed into the distance as he wondered: what should he do next?

It seemed like he needed to think carefully about it.

“Wang Xiao,” he uttered. “He was a fool.”

“That’s not right!” he added. Then, he twitched his lips mockingly. He was now Wang Xiao.

When he thought of this, he adjusted his overbearing aura to the level of Wang Xiao’s aura before this. After that, with a dash, he charged in the direction where the battlefield was.

The cultivators on the battlefield were unaware of all that had happened. When the Lord of Tianyan City saw Ye Futian and Mo Qingge returning, he glared at them with bloodshot eyes. Had the two of them joined forces to kill Wang Xiao?

Wang Xiao shouldered the fate of Tianyan City. A long time ago, he received the recognition of Tianyan the Great and inherited the latter’s teachings. During the Armorer Competition, the City Lord did his best to promote Wang Xiao before everyone. He invited everyone to come and join the feast. Wang Xiao indeed gained his fame during the event.

After that, because of Ye Futian, Wang Xiao was greatly traumatized. A few years ago, Tianyan the Great trained him with a special technique, intending to make him a new Emperor.

In fact, to assist Wang Xiao to achieve the Emperor level, Tianyan the Great ceased existing in other forms and instead merged with the former.

Tianyan City risked all they had for the sake of Wang Xiao’s success. In this chaotic era, the Wang family of Tianyan City was determined to give rise to the birth of a Great Emperor. With the help of Tianyan the Great, they had a high chance of succeeding in their mission.

But now, Wang Xiao was killed.

Wang Xiao’s death was significant. It symbolized the discontinuation of the teachings of Tianyan the Great.

Everything that Tianyan the Great had bestowed on Wang Xiao would be gone with the wind along with his death. What did it mean for the Wang family?

It meant that from now on, the Wang family of Tianyan City would no longer be one of the Ancient God Clans since the teachings of the Great Emperor had died along with Wang Xiao.

For Wang Xiao, the Wang family had risked their status as an Ancient God Clan. How could he die just like that?

“Wang Xiao has been killed. You are the next,” declared Ye Futian as stared at the Lord of Tianyan City. His expression was cold. Both the City Lord and Wang Xiao were determined to eliminate him. Now, he had finally killed Wang Xiao.

If the Lord of Tianyan City could not rely on imperial arms, he was not even a threat to Ye Futian. Ye Futian would not be defeated with the help of Celerity.

A terrifying aura burst forth from the Lord of Tianyan City. The divine flame burned frenziedly and covered this part of the sky. The flame set the sky ablaze.

Rumble.

Powerful Sword Will flowed in the heavens and the earth. Divine swords materialized in the sky. Each and every sword was carved with golden runes and emanated a terrorizing aura. They sliced the space. When the tips of the swords were pointed downwards, the space was on the verge of being cut up into pieces.

“Kill!”

The divine swords plummeted as soon as Ye Futian commanded them to. All of them charged towards the Lord of Tianyan City.

Rumble. A terrifying aura appeared behind the Lord of Tianyan City as the region transformed into the Heaven Tempering Divine Domain. Golden spears appeared and traversed across space, colliding with the divine swords. Both attacks were equally domineering.

The City Lord was the master of Tianyan City and the commander of an Ancient God Clan. He had been assuming a supporting role and was outshined by Wang Xiao, who wielded the imperial arm, but in reality, his combat ability was stronger than that of Wang Xiao. He was one of the figures who truly stood at the peak of the Divine Prefecture.

Ye Futian stood in the high heavens and looked down on the Lord of Tianyan City. He extended his palm forward and pressed down. The sun was instantly veiled by a divine sword. A gigantic divine sword loaded with overbearing God’s might was coalesced. Along with its appearance was the rumbling sound of thunder. The attack of the City Lord did not stand a chance before this divine sword.

The gigantic divine sword was like the king of all swords. It resonated with the sky, causing a destructive storm to start brewing. The sword was filled with intense killing intent.

Ye Futian pointed his finger downward. The sword thrust downwards in a flash, disregarding the long distance.

Bang.

A dazzling divine light sparkled, and the divine sword charged towards the Lord of Tianyan City. However, it was crushed and turned to dust. Ye Futian’s attack was forcefully blocked by another attack. At the same time, Ye Futian sensed danger, and he disappeared from his original spot instantly.

In the area where the Lord of Tianyan City was, the terrifying attack continued to shoot up to the high heavens after destroying Ye Futian’s divine sword. It turned into a beam of destructive light. The space was permeated with the aura of an Emperor.

Another figure appeared in front of the Lord of Tianyan City. He was none other than Wang Xiao.

“Wang Xiao!” exclaimed the City Lord.

His eyes were wide open as he stared at the figure before him. Wang Xiao had returned with the imperial arm.

Wang Xiao was actually still alive, and he came back here.

How was this possible?

The City Lord was linked to Wang Xiao. Prior to this, he clearly sensed that Wang Xiao was dead. It was impossible for the City Lord to sense this wrongly.

Wang Xiao had been killed.

However, right now, he indeed appeared alive and well before everyone.

Cultivators, especially high-level cultivators like Wang Xiao, indeed had very tenacious vitality.

However, could someone still come back to life after their spiritual soul had been destroyed?

Even the Lord of Tianyan City could not believe what he saw. Yet, Wang Xiao truly existed in the flesh before them.

Ye Futian once again appeared in space. With a bizarre expression, he stared at Wang Xiao, who was wielding the imperial arm.

Just now, Ye Futian had purposely added on a few attacks to ensure that Wang Xiao was truly dead. Both his flesh and his spiritual soul were destroyed to the point beyond repair.

But, how could he still be alive now?

“The will of the ancestor is with me. On top of that, I have an indestructible body, to begin with. This time, I have to thank the ancestor for guiding me to overcome my fear of death to find a way out of that impasse,” Wang Xiao said the Lord of Tianyan City.

A glint of light flashed in the eyes of the City Lord. So, Wang Xiao managed to survive because he overcame his fear of death and found a way out of the impasse?

The City Lord believed Wang Xiao’s words right away. After all, Wang Xiao was standing alive and well right in front of him now. Moreover, the will of Tianyan the Great was indeed with Wang Xiao. It was normal to assume that the power of the ancestor had aided him in rebirth.

Both Mo Qingge and Ye Futian knitted their brows together tightly. Their gazes were fixed on Wang Xiao. Had the power of the ancestor helped Wang Xiao to come back to life?

Both of them clearly sensed that there was something different about Wang Xiao’s temperament.

Ye Futian’s gaze turned sharp. The Light of Buddha flowed around him. His gaze was seemingly able to see through Wang Xiao as he stared at the latter.

Sensing his gaze, Wang Xiao swept a glance at Ye Futian. Wang Xiao’s eyes were terrifying. His gaze pierced through Ye Futian’s eyes, causing him to feel acute pain.

He was not Wang Xiao!

A voice rang in Ye Futian’s mind. He kept a calm expression. Even though he was shocked, he did not show his emotion.

Wang Xiao had died and had not come back to life. This Wang Xiao before their eyes was not the same person as before.

If this Wang Xiao was not the real Wang Xiao, who was he?

Ye Futian thought of a possibility. Immediately, his face turned pale as his heart quivered.

Wang Xiao inherited the teachings and the will of Tianyan the Great. The weapon he used to wield was that of Tianyan the Great too. Everything he had was given to him by the Great Emperor. Even Wang Xiao’s divine body, which Ye Futian assumed that he had paid a great price in order to forge, was most likely something he achieved with the help of Tianyan the Great.

Back during the Armorer Competition, the City Lord revealed Wang Xiao’s talent in front of everyone and elected him as the successor of Tianyan City.

However, in reality, Wang Xiao had always been the candidate chosen by Tianyan the Great himself.

Therefore, who would this current Wang Xiao be?

The answer was as clear as day.

This person was Tianyan the Great himself!

Ye Futian was shocked and perturbed. Tianyan the Great was reborn in the current world with the flesh of Wang Xiao. In fact, he might have been plotting this since the day he chose Wang Xiao as his successor. He nourished himself with Wang Xiao’s body and gradually snatched away everything that belonged to the latter.

Wang Xiao was but a tool that Tianyan the Great used to pave his way to rebirth.

Ye Futian stared straight ahead and kept a poker face. He did not tell anyone about his speculation. If this current Wang Xiao was truly Tianyan the Great, he would undoubtedly be much more frightening than before. He would most likely be able to kill Ye Futian. However, he had not done so. Clearly, he also did not wish to expose his true identity.

Tianyan the Great had only been reborn in the flesh; he had yet to recover his abilities as a Great Emperor. Therefore, he wanted to hide his identity by pretending to be Wang Xiao for now!
