PFC Chapter 771: The Battle of Sekigahara
Chapter 771: The Battle of Sekigahara
"Senior, how are you?"
Ling Xue rushed to the wasteland and saw that Chi Xiao was seriously injured, but at least he survived.
He was merely a quasi-emperor in the Upper Heavens; to survive a powerful attack from the Great Emperor in his rage was a stroke of luck.
The battlefield was no longer a place for quasi-emperors, as the emperors had entered the fray.
The six emperors surrounded the Blood Fiend Ancestor, who was trying to escape with a cloud of skulls.
"Old ghost! Leave behind the divine weapon, and I'll spare your life!"
Iron-Headed Monk attacked first, unleashing an imperial weapon—a pair of purple-gold maces—that unleashed a fierce killing force, shattering the skull cloud in an instant and exposing the cocoon of light within. Chen Futu remained firmly seated within, unmoved by the outside world.
"Take action!"
The old woman from the abyss and another emperor joined forces to steal the cocoon of light, but were stopped by the empress of the Azure Water Palace and the old king.
Tianlan Ancestor seized the opportunity to approach the cocoon of light, but Blood Fiend Ancestor desperately tried to stop him.
The Great Emperor War has finally broken out.
Chaotic energy swept in all directions, and the quasi-emperors and ancient saints on the outskirts hurriedly led their juniors to escape the battle.
Looking at the core area of the battlefield, the black mist had been dispelled by the Imperial War.
The emperors went mad, attacking recklessly. They unleashed imperial techniques with every move, shattering the surrounding space and creating a chaotic flow of energy.
"Oh my God, this..."
"terrible."
"This is the war of emperors, the real war of emperors."
The younger generation felt a chill run down their spines as they looked at the area filled with destructive energy. Not only were they afraid, but the quasi-emperors present were also afraid. Such a violent field would instantly tear them to pieces once they were caught in it, with no chance of resistance whatsoever.
What wouldn't a group of emperors obsessed with divine weapons and inheritance do?
The strangest thing is that Chen Futu sat firmly in the center of the battlefield, protected by the cocoon of light, and was untouched by any magic. Even if any energy fell on the cocoon of light, it would be completely dissolved by the energy within.
Divine weapons are divine weapons, not on the same level as the emperors. If it weren't for protecting Chen Futu from being affected, the divine weapons would very likely have killed these emperors who dared to offend the divine might.
"This divine weapon is extraordinary; why don't we join forces to seize it and study it together?"
The old king spoke first, and the other emperors who were engaged in fierce fighting finally came to their senses.
Yes, they are no match for the divine weapon individually, and they don't even have the ability to break the light cocoon. It would be better for them to join forces to suppress the divine weapon first.
The Heavenly Gate Ancestor looked at Chen Futu inside the cocoon of light, hesitated for a long time, and then said, "It would be better to wait until the child has finished his comprehension before we talk about it. We shouldn't hurt him."
"You old codger, if you don't want to join forces, then stay out of the way!"
Blood Fiend Ancestor couldn't wait any longer and called on the other five Great Emperors to join forces with the Emperor's Dao Rules to suppress the light cocoon.
The Heavenly Gate Ancestor sighed but still did not make a move.
Tianmen owes his trip to Ling Xue, who expressed her hope that Tianmen would protect the three of them. If he were to attack this young man Chen now, what would he become? He would be going against his own vows and principles, which would be detrimental to his path of cultivation.
"What the ancestor promised, he will keep," Gu Dao said with emotion.
Ling Xue knew that it was already very difficult for the Heavenly Gate Ancestor to achieve this much; he could not and had no ability to stop the six Great Emperors.
Rumble!
The Six Great Emperors' energy surged as they bombarded the cocoon of light. Enraged, the cocoon of light circulated faster and faster around Chen Futu's body, continuing to dissolve the Great Emperors' attacks and occasionally shooting out light at high speed to fight against the surrounding Great Emperors.
"The defensive capabilities of this divine weapon are truly eye-opening."
"Keep attacking! If that kid gets the inheritance, won't all our efforts be for nothing?"
The emperors exchanged opinions and continued their actions.
At the same time, a void figure appeared in Chen Futu's world of will. It was a little boy with a wrinkled face, wearing an ill-fitting robe, and looking somewhat unusual.
"Are you the God of War?" Chen Futu asked, and the boy's aged voice echoed, "It is indeed I. You are quite good. Not only have you mastered the laws of life and death, but you have also integrated them with your own, and you have also obtained my weapon."
"Are you dead or alive?" Chen Futu's question seemed abrupt.
The boy smiled, not annoyed. "To me, life and death are not that important. What you are looking at is my divine will. I have forged myself into this divine weapon. The law of life is one, the law of death is another, and the physical body is yet another."
"With your physical body, why are you only at the Emperor-level weapon level?"
“My situation is special. My body is not as strong as those martial gods because I am always being obliterated. You have mastered two rules, so you should know how powerful they are. Ordinary people's bodies cannot control them, and neither can mine.”
"So why don't you want to live anymore?" Chen Futu asked again.
"Everyone is dead, what's the point of me living? Besides, my condition is special. Rather than staying outside and suffering, I'd rather transform into a divine weapon and freeze completely, so I won't have to go through that painful cycle again."
At this point, Chen Futu finally figured out the secret of this God of War, but there were still some questions he needed to answer, such as what was going on with this ancient battlefield, where was the Human Emperor, and who ambushed and killed the Moon Goddess?
The boy said, "I don't know the whereabouts of the Human Emperor. I know who ambushed the Moon Goddess. It was a Martial God of the Earth Vein Clan called the Black Spirit King. And this Heavenly Abyss is a passage through which the Earth Vein Clan invaded the continent. We moved it to this city gate to avoid the continent. There are many passages. Back then, Taiyan guarded one, and the Moon Goddess and the others each guarded one."
"Do you really know the Moon Goddess and the Human Emperor?"
"Yes, they were all my beloved family and friends. Unfortunately, we couldn't stop them in the end. That day, the Heavenly Gate was breached, the Great Emperors died, Taiyan died, and the Moon Goddess and the others died as well. I wanted revenge, but I couldn't do it."
Chen Futu listened silently to the boy's story.
Driven by revenge, he used his physical characteristics to venture alone into the depths of the Heavenly Abyss and wreak havoc. He fought fiercely against the Earth Vein Clan with his mortal body, taking away many powerful figures. Unfortunately, his time at the peak was too short. Then, the Earth Vein Clan found a way to deal with him, sending many powerful figures to watch over him, mock him, and even take the head of his Martial God friend and trample it under their feet.
Finally, he was captured by his opponent, who wanted to use him to forge a divine weapon. Because of his special nature, he escaped back to the Heavenly Gate in a sorry state by using the Golden Cicada technique of death. After many years of contemplation, he finally forged himself into a divine weapon, hoping that it would be mastered by someone in the future so that he could continue to take revenge and wash away the shame of the past.
"I see."
Chen Futu sighed. His body, which was born in the morning and died at dusk, had a very short peak period. Fortunately, he was special. His body, which was reconstituted after his physical body died, escaped. If it weren't for the energies of life and death obliterating his physical body, he might have been refined into a divine weapon by someone else and died.
"Young man, you are quite good. Not only can you perfectly control the laws of life and death, but you can also fuse them into a wisp of reincarnation power. You are much stronger than me. I will give you this divine weapon. I don't ask for much. I only ask that one day when we go to the battlefield, you lead me to once again kill into the lair of those filthy things. I will slaughter them and avenge my old friends!"
