Shen Ji stood up in the sky, looking down at the Heavenly Mandate Academy .
“I am taking two people away,” he said . His tone was extremely calm . It was as if he had said something completely ordinary .
The two people he was talking about were naturally the Sky River Great Elder and Ye Futian .
Countless people in Heavenly Mandate City looked up at him . Within his calm tone lurked an unmistakable meaning . It was as if his words were the will of a god, and no one could go against them .
There was a cold look in the Sky River Great Elder’s eyes, but he slowly calmed down .
Today, he would no longer run .
“This is the Heavenly Mandate Academy,” said Lord Taixuan, striding forward . He stood in the air above the academy, directly facing Shen Ji .
He had never met Shen Ji of the Central Imperial Realm before . But he could sense his arrogance in everything that had happened in the Tianhe Realm .
Now he was experiencing it himself .
Shen Ji looked at Lord Taixuan, then past him to Ye Futian .
“Qin Xuangang is lucky to have a disciple like you . You and your master should come to the Shen clan for a while,” said Shen Ji calmly . When he heard what he had said, Ye Futian realized that the Shen clan knew the truth .
The people of the Heavenly Mandate Academy all looked surprised . But at a time like this, they didn’t have time to think about it .
“The Heavenly Mandate Academy has been founded . In addition to the forces of the Heavenly Mandate Realm, the Xiao clan and other clans are here as well . The Shen clan should not be so overbearing in their actions,” said an elder of the Xiao clan . There were cultivators from many different forces of the Heavenly Mandate Realm there . The Xiao clan and the Yuanyang clan both came from the Central Imperial Realm and had helped to found the academy .
The Shen clan had come here to take away the Sky River Great Elder, the elder of the Heavenly Mandate Academy, and Ye Futian, the soul of the academy . They clearly thought themselves better than everyone .
“We have come to take them,” said Shen Ji in an indifferent voice . “Those who are not involved should stand to one side, or suffer the consequences . ” As he said this, a terrible aura bloomed from him, and brilliant divine light covered a vast area .
A divine eye opened on his brow . Endless divine light shone out of it .
At that moment, even more divine light fell from the heavens, covering the whole of the Heavenly Mandate Academy .
Obviously, Shen Ji knew that the academy would not easily give up their people . So, they could only do this by force .
In an instant, divine light swept towards all the cultivators .
“Careful, that is the divine technique of the Shen clan, the Tianshen Cleave,” said the Sky River Great Elder . The moment that he spoke, a booming sound rang out . Everywhere the divine light swept over, the newly built academy buildings were directly cleaved in half and shattered into nothing .
Lord Taixuan stepped forward, and an invisible light curtain covered Tianshen Academy . Endless guqin strings appeared, each one formed out of the Great Path . The countless strings covered the academy as well, giving off terrifying music .
Endless light came from the sky like a divine knife . The strings trembled, and some of them were cut through . The light continued on downward .
Crack! A figure lay on the ground within the academy in a daze . He could not withstand the attack power .
The divine light swept through the academy, destroying many of the disciples . At that moment, more beams of divine light appeared, forming a second and third layer of protection that covered the rest of the people within . All of the great figures there had gotten involved .
But since the light had been so fast, it had still killed many people .
The sound of elephants trumpeting filled the air as a mighty, massive elephant image appeared within the academy, looking like it was made of pure gold . It wrapped the academy within itself .
“The Shentian Cleave of the Shen Clan is the ultimate use of the spatial great path . It contains double cleaving power, as it can cleave both body and soul . We can’t let its attack power reach the academy,” said the Sky River Great Elder . He clearly remembered how Shen Ji had destroyed the Tianhe realm all those years ago .
The divine light covered the area . Everywhere it went, all light was snuffed out .
In the space of a single thought, the people were plunged into an abyss of mystery .
At that moment, Shen Ji was still holding back . After all, there were still top figures of the Central Imperial Realm within the academy who he did not dare to directly kill . That would cause trouble for the Shen clan .
“Divine Elephant Emperor, protect them . The rest of us Emperors will fight together,” said the Dragon Master .
“Let’s go,” said the Golden Raven Demonic Lord of the Sky Demon Court . The Heavenly Mandate Academy had been founded by all the forces of the Heavenly Mandate Realm, and it represented the whole realm . If the Shen clan wanted to attack them, they would . They did not care about them at all .
Shen Ji had made his name many years ago and had broken many powerful figures . But he was still weaker than another within the Shen clan . He was stronger than any of them, but he was not without equal .
Many figures shot up into the air, but they saw the endless divine light transform into a terrible spatial storm that ripped through space itself . Tears in space appeared before them .
Boom!
Terrible tears in space ripped open all around the Heavenly Mandate Academy, seeking to tear through the academy and swallow it up .
The cultivators observing from around the academy turned wildly in order to flee the area . The people of Heavenly Mandate City felt their hearts tremble . But ridiculously, they wanted to get closer to watch . What was happening now truly meant that even the slightest aftershocks could completely destroy them .
“Let’s go . ”
Even the cultivators far away in the Heavenly Mandate City could feel that something was wrong . They turned and scattered . If two powerful figures fought at the Heavenly Mandate Academy, the aftershock would affect those in the city .
Guqin music filled the air, the Lost Sound of the Great Path . the Song of the Lost Divine .
In addition to the destructive spatial storm, a storm of swords appeared in the air as well .
Shen Ji stood high in the sky . His palm stretched out like the hand of a god . He waved his arm slightly, and a booming sound rang out, sweeping through the Heavenly Mandate Academy and those inside . The Divine Elephant Emperor stood within, trying to block it, but the power of the hand up in the sky pressed down, ripping through space . Everyone felt their bodies float up along with the academy .
All the cultivators of the great forces looked surprised . The Shen clan was truly powerful .
Even though the cultivators of the great forces were all there, they still acted so forcefully, not showing any mercy .
The endless strings shook together . As the Lost Sound of the Great Path rang out, the Great Path flowed backward in the sky, seeming to forcibly destroy the spatial great path that Shen Ji controlled . It made the floating academy fall back down . It landed on the ground with a boom .
Lord Taixuan stretched out his hand, using the Great Path as his strings . Endless divine swords flew out, slamming into the spatial light . Millions of swords appeared in the sky and swept out towards Shen Ji .
However, Shen Ji’s body melded with the air itself, as if he had disappeared in an instant .
Woosh!
In a flash, a terrible wave appeared in front of Lord Taixuan, followed by Shen Ji . He pointed at Lord Taixuan, and endless spatial light ripped through the air . Dark cracks appeared, seeking to swallow up Lord Taixuan .
At the moment that he appeared, Lord Taixuan acted at well . He raised his sword, making the Great Path flow backward . This was the Fleeting Divine Sword .
Their attacks slammed into each other, making a destructive spatial storm sweep out through the sky . In an instant, the storm swept through Heavenly Mandate City, destroying many people . Countless buildings disappeared .
“No…” someone called out in shock . They saw their friends and family turn to dust as if they had never existed .
Shen Ji and Lord Taixuan broke apart . Shen Ji appeared high up in the air, bathed in endless divine light that made him look like a god .
“Shen Ji, let us fight higher up in the sky,” said Lord Taixuan . The people of Heavenly Mandate City would not be able to withstand it if they fought there .
“You did not hand them over . ” Shen Ji stood there in the sky, endless divine light falling upon him . The storm covered Heavenly Mandate City .
At that moment, a figure appeared in the air .
Lord Taixuan’s gaze froze as he looked at the newcomer . It was the Sky River Great Elder .
The Sky River Great Elder looked at the storm raging through the city . This scene was very similar to what had happened in the Tianhe Realm all those years ago .
“I will return to the Tianhe Realm, then go with you to the Shen clan to bring an end to this matter,” he said, looking up at Shen Ji .
“There is one more person,” said Shen Ji .
“He will not go . If you do not accept, we will keep fighting,” said the Sky River Great Elder .
Shen Ji thought for a moment . He had come here alone, so he would not necessarily be able to defeat all of the Heavenly Mandate Academy . Since the Sky River Great Elder was willing to compromise, he could leave Ye Futian for another time .
“Alright,” said Shen Ji with a nod .
“Let’s go,” said the Sky River Great Elder .
“I will go with you,” said Lord Taixuan .
“No need,” said the Sky River Great Elder, shaking his head . “I leave the Heavenly Mandate Academy to you . ”
Lord Taixuan looked him in the eye . Were these words of farewell?
“I will take up the post of Elder of the Heavenly Mandate Academy,” said Lord Taixuan .
“Excellent,” said the Sky River Great Elder with a nod . “We have known each other for a while, and you have always been so good to me . From now on, you will not know me anymore .
Lord Taixuan did not understand . What did that mean?
The Sky River Great Elder did not say anything more to him . “Let’s go,” he said to Shen Ji .
On saying this, he turned and walked away into the distance .
Shen Ji had not thought that his opponent would be so accommodating . He looked down at the Heavenly Mandate Academy, then followed the Sky River Great Elder . He would bring him back to the Shen clan, then he would finish this matter .
Everything needed to be brought to a thorough end .
He had not directly captured him . He knew that he was much stronger than the Sky River Great Elder, and he could not escape him .
“Why do you want to go to the Tianhe Realm first?” he asked .
“I want to bring some things with me when I see her,” said the Sky River Great Elder .
Shen Ji looked at him, then nodded and said, “Alright . ”
The Sky River Great Elder had once been a member of the Shen clan . He would fulfill his wish .
After they left, the Heavenly Mandate Academy was a scene of tragedy .
Ye Futian stood high up in the air, watching the disappearing figures .
What had his master meant by what he said before he left?
The Deed of Thorough Cultivation could cultivate backward?
