Chapter 2574: Heaven Tempering Enumeration

Wang Xiao’s eyes focused on the Ziwei Segmentum below. In those eyes, divine flames seemed to linger as he raised his arms slightly. It seemed as if he couldn’t hold back the urge to continue the fight. But at that very same moment, the stars in the sky lit up brightly as the radiant sword light permeated the heavens.

This would be a battle that neither would win. Wang Xiao wanted to get inside the Ziwei Segmentum, and he may be killed by Ye Futian in the process.

Perhaps Wang Xiao could break through their defense and invade the Ziwei Segmentum to conquer it, but at what price? No one had the answer.

“Wang Xiao.”

Just as everyone from the Divine Prefecture persuaded Wang Xiao to take action, the City Lord of Tianyan called out to him. Immediately Wang Xiao’s arm stopped in the air, and he looked in the direction of the City Lord of Tianyan.

The City Lord of Tianyan said, loud and clear, “With the will of the Great Emperor, Ziwei will be imprisoned. If Ye Futian is too stubborn to repent, let the Ziwei Segmentum live and die as it chooses.”

Wang Xiao understood what the City Lord of Tianyan meant. The Wang family of Tianyan City was directly descended from Tianyan the Great. Among the Ancient God Clan of Wang, they had more than just one imperial arm.

Previously, the cultivators of the Divine Prefecture wanted Tianyan City to take action, bring the imperial arms, and imprison Ziwei Segmentum because they knew that the City Lord’s Office was in possession of terrifying imperial arms that could imprison everything.

However, if they were imprisoned, they wouldn’t be able to take down Ye Futian, and they probably wouldn’t be able to get the divine treasures he possessed. Moreover, it may cause the entire Ziwei Segmentum to weaken and its eventual destruction. Doing so may very well attract criticisms from all sides because even Princess Donghuang had cautioned them not to take such extreme actions.

“Imprison Ziwei!”

When these top forces from the Divine Prefecture heard the words of the City Lord of Tianyan, they immediately knew what it was that he wanted Wang Xiao to do. Many people couldn’t help but feel a little disappointed. Of course, they were hoping for an all-out invasion of Ziwei Segmentum.

They wanted to step into Ziwei, capture Ye Futian, seize the divine treasures, rule Ziwei Segmentum, and control the starry cultivation court.

But if Ziwei were to be imprisoned, everything would be a pipe dream, and none of the things they wanted would be realized.

Of course, then there was the question of how the City Lord of Tianyan would want to accomplish this?

In the case of imprisonment, they would need to leave imperial arms here at Ziwei Segmentum and wouldn’t take it away. Otherwise, how could they imprison an entire Segmentum if the imperial arms were absent?

Would Tianyan City be willing to relinquish imperial arms for that?

But things had gotten to this point, and it had to end somehow. They couldn’t let Ye Futian and the Ziwei Segmentum off the hook and return home with their tails between their legs. None of the forces from the Divine Prefecture could accept this ending, but especially not Tianyan City. They could not possibly take an ending in which they failed to break through the defense of Ziwei Segmentum and returned in defeat.

Therefore, something had to be done.

“Imprisonment!” Wang Xiao’s countenance did not look so great when he heard the words of his grandfather, the City Lord of Tianyan. The suggestion of imprisonment implied that the attack this time was a total failure, and he could not overpower Ye Futian. Even with the imperial arms, he was unable to sack Ziwei Segmentum.

However, they may not be able to get inside Ziwei. Still, they couldn’t leave just like that either, letting both Ziwei Segmentum and Ye Futian go free, so imprisonment was the only other alternative.

He needed to leave imperial arms behind and use them to shut down the Ziwei Segmentum. This was not the outcome that Wang Xiao anticipated, but he didn’t seem to have a better choice at the moment.

The cultivators of the Divine Prefecture stood quietly in the boundless void and did not speak. The situation was such that it was meaningless for them to say anything more. Tianyan City would have to decide on its own, but this alliance was a failure.

All the great forces in the Divine Prefecture, including the Ancient God Clans, banded together to come for the kill, but they could not take a step into Ziwei.

“Very well,” Wang Xiao responded. As soon as his voice faded, he gave a wave of his hand, and suddenly, a second imperial arm appeared in the endless starry sky.

These imperial arms hovered in the boundless void and were expanding rapidly. It was a picture scroll, and the scroll was covered with golden divine flames devouring the Great Path.

Wang Xiao raised his head and looked at the scroll in the void. A divine light between his brows fell on the picture scroll. His expression was solemn as he said, “Disciple Wang Xiao asks my ancestor to reveal his spirit to temper this corner of the sky.”

Upon him, the divine light penetrated the picture scroll, and suddenly little spots of light lit up the scroll, becoming more and more radiant until a holy phantom appeared. The phantom turned into a face, and it was the face of Tianyan the Great.

An incomparable aura enveloped the boundless space between heaven and earth. In an instant, the entire atmosphere was saturated with that aura. Then, the picture scroll seemed to replicate itself, converting that infinite starry sky into a part of it.

This horrific scene continued to spread, extending into the direction of Ziwei Segmentum. When Ye Futian perceived this, he was not particularly pleased; another imperial arm was at work.

“Ye Futian, you still have a chance to repent. Otherwise, once the Heaven Tempering Enumeration is unleashed, Ziwei will no longer exist.” Wang Xiao’svoice was cold as ice, ringing through the space.

This imperial arms was the Heaven Tempering Enumeration, capable of tempering a world, and was once the treasure of Tianyan the Great in refining divine arms.

The starlight circulated, and the starry light screen continued to move and flow, providing cover for the Ziwei Segmentum, shrouding the entire Ziwei Segmentum within so that it would not be corroded by that divine flames from the outside.

The Heaven Tempering Enumeration continued to expand along with the starry light screen, getting larger until it gradually covered all of the Ziwei Segmentum. If it weren’t for the defense that was already set up, Heaven Tempering Enumeration would be able to gain a foothold inside the Segmentum and incinerate it.

Buzz! Once the Heaven Tempering Enumeration was in place, the phantom of the Great Emperor disappeared as well. However, that Heaven Tempering Enumeration, which shrouded the Ziwei Segmentum, had already begun tempering all existence within this world, including the power of the Great Path, which had been refined.

Divine flames rained down from the Heaven Tempering Enumeration and fell on the starry light screen. The golden divine flames covered the light screen, wanting to worm their way in, but could not burn through it immediately.

“Ye Futian, under the Heaven Tempering Enumeration, how long do you think the Ziwei Segmentum can persist?” Wang Xiao continued, “If you stand down, I can let the cultivators of Ziwei Segmentum go, including your family.” He wanted Ye Futian to bow his head and admit defeat. It was only Ye Futian that he wanted. He couldn’t care less about everyone else.

Under the Heaven Tempering Enumeration, the entire world became blazing hot. If it weren’t for the starry light screen, the whole Segmentum would already be burnt up.

“Such a ruthless resolve?” Ye Futian was cold to the core. He said, “One day, even if you kneel down to beg for mercy, I will not spare any of the cultivators from the Wang family in the City Lord’sOffice of Tianyan City.”

Countless people had already perished from the previous blow, and there was no telling how many more might follow them under the attack of the Heaven Tempering Enumeration at this moment.

For as long as he lived, one of his goals would be to immolate the entire City Lord’s Office of Tianyan City, and he would be sure to achieve it.

“Because of you and you alone, Ziwei is where it is today,” Wang Xiao said in an icy voice.

“I will protect Ziwei,” Ye Futian replied. Wang Xiao gave a cold snort as he waved his hand. Instantly, the Heaven Tempering Enumeration closed, and the two worlds seemed to be separated outside of the Ziwei Segmentum and inside of Ziwei Segmentum.

Outside of the imprisoned Ziwei Segementum, Wang Xiao’sexpression was steely. He did not feel any elation as his eyes were glued on the space below. He could no longer see any signs of Ye Futian. Although he successfully did as he was had been told, he did not feel victorious.

He did not defeat Ye Futian—not then, and not now.

“That’s it. Is it imprisoned now?” Some top cultivators from the Divine Prefecture were speechless as they witnessed the sight before them. It was as if they were utterly superfluous.

This war ended like this.

Under the Heaven Tempering Enumeration, Ye Futian’sdefense would not last long. Sooner or later, it would be incinerated. Then, Ziwei Segmentum would follow. Once the Great Path was refined, everything would no longer exist. This vast world of Ziwei would turn into a world of flames before it was completely consumed.

“It’s over,” the City Lord of Tianyan proclaimed, his eyes surveyed the cultivators from the Divine Prefecture. He continued, “Everyone has worked hard on this quest. Under the Heaven Tempering Enumeration, Ziwei Segmentum will be turned into a realm of hellfire.

All the Great Paths will cease to exist, and with time, it will disappear forever.”

“Then, wouldn’t that mean Ye Futian will also perish with it? That would be a shame.” Some cultivators from the Divine Prefecture spoke up. Although they were enemies with Ye Futian, they felt conflicted inside. They found it a pity that Ye Futian would fall like this into a realm of fire.

“He doesn’t know what is good for him, so this is the only way it can be. “The City Lord of Tianyan said loudly, “Under the Heaven Tempering Enumeration, the world will change and will never be the same as it was. The Ziwei Segmentum may very well cease to exist.”

Was Ziwei Segmentum to be nothing but a wasteland?

“Everyone, please go back. Business here is over. Now, we just need to wait to witness its final demise,” the City Lord of Tianyan said to all the cultivators of the Divine Prefecture, but they seemed reluctant to leave. They stood in the boundless starry sky, taking everything in.

“I’ll be here to ascertain their demise,” Wang Xiao said to the City Lord of Tianyan. He would wait here instead of returning to Tianyan City.

He wanted to witness the destruction of Ye Futian and see all of this come to an end. Or else, that shadow in his heart would never be dispelled!
