Chapter 2606: Blood Raiment

The female Protector in red was known as “Blood Raiment.” It was a name that she had given herself after she had achieved success in her cultivation. As for her actual name, no one knew what it was.

Blood Raiment was the Second Protector of the Devil Imperial Palace, someone who had survived the Second Divine Tribulation of the Great Path. From the perspective of those in the Divine Prefecture, she was a figure on the level of a great demon.

Her eyes seemed to have turned into the color of blood. She glanced at Ye Futian, then turned to head higher into the sky.

Ye Futian followed her up. But because it was straight up, horizontally speaking, his position was now much further away from the Devil Imperial Palace.

Soon, Blood Raiment stopped. The two of them stood high above the sky, with all the demonic cultivators in the direction of Devil Imperial Palace looking at them intently.

Could the Second Protector of the Devil Imperial Palace stop Ye Futian?

Blood Raiment lowered her head again and looked at Ye Futian. This was the second time she looked at him, and her eyes had turned the color of blood. In the next moment, a b.l.o.o.d.y divine light expanded in Ye Futian’s eyes, changing the world he was seeing.

This was a world awash in the color of blood. It was no longer as dark as the world outside but an extremely vivid color of b.l.o.o.d.y red.

Above the firmament, the b.l.o.o.d.y cloud of tribulation roiled, giving birth to a b.l.o.o.d.y divine matrix that was terrifying to the extreme.

Buzz! Moments later, countless b.l.o.o.d.y divine tribulations fell in this world, flooding the domain s.p.a.ce.

This b.l.o.o.d.y divine tribulation was even more terrifying than the power of the Divine Tribulation of the Great Path. Ye Futian stood amid the domain, his body surrounded by the protection of the divine light. Although his physical body was incomparable and resembled a divine body, he did not dare to be careless before the actual engagement. At this moment, he was facing a supreme cultivator of the Devil World.

Boom! As the b.l.o.o.d.y divine tribulation descended, Ye Futian felt that the blood inside his body, too, was roaring madly; it was as if it was about to rush out of his body and explode.

At the same time, his spiritual soul was also under attack in an extremely domineering fas.h.i.+on like never before.

Upon Ye Futian’s body, the Light of Buddha was blazing fervently while the Sound of Buddha lingered. Ancient Buddhist runes floated all around him as he was incarnated as a Buddha. A ma.s.sive Buddhist battle form appeared, chanting the Six Syllables of Truth.

It was believed that Buddhism had a certain restraining effect on the power of the demonic way. He had many Buddhist abilities at his disposal. Naturally, he would want to test this hypothesis.

A series of spells were uttered from his mouth, turning into powerful golden Buddhist lightning, colliding with the b.l.o.o.d.y divine tribulation that crashed down. The two then collapsed and shattered together. Ye Futian’s battle form was gigantic but motionless, which had a particular effect in shocking the demonic method into submission.

Blood Raiment looked down at Ye Futian. She hadn’t said a word since the beginning, but at this moment, a slight sense of disturbance was beginning to take hold of her heart. Ye Futian’s cultivation appeared to be only at the realm of Renhuang, but he could explode combat effective at the level of Tribulation Plane during battle. In contrast, his overall realm remained at Renhuang.

This was an incredibly uncanny phenomenon, but she realized that this man’s power of the Great Path was not any weaker than hers.

The look in Blood Raiment’s eyes grew serious as her eyes released the b.l.o.o.d.y light of tribulation and looked towards Ye Futian. The Devil Emperor himself had created a variety of demonic methods, pa.s.sing them on to the cultivators of the Devil Imperial Palace. She was once a personal disciple whom the Devil Emperor himself had valued very much. She had followed the Devil Emperor in cultivation for many years and was later named the Great Protector, receiving the true heritage of the Devil Emperor.

The b.l.o.o.d.y divine light flooded the entire world, and the terrifying, b.l.o.o.d.y divine light melted those golden runes, which also submerged Ye Futian within. The b.l.o.o.d.y divine light had swallowed everything and swept towards his gigantic Buddhist battle form.

“Blood refinement!” Ye Futian’s heart trembled slightly. The Buddhist runes he released had been refined to nothing by the b.l.o.o.d.y divine light, as they were being incorporated into that b.l.o.o.d.y domain. This kind of blood refining technique was truly frightening indeed.

Both of them controlled the scope of the battle to some extent. If they were on the battlefield, a horrific existence such as Blood Raiment would be able to cover a s.p.a.ce ten of thousands of miles in radius and refine this whole world into a world of blood. She would be able to kill countless cultivators with a single thought. The existence of the Second Tribulation Plane had unimaginable destructive power on the battlefield.

The Buddhist battle form, as transformed by Ye Futian, seemed to be on the verge of being refined under that b.l.o.o.d.y divine light as well.

Blood Raiment stared at Ye Futian. This was her domain world. At their level of cultivation, the domain world was no longer limited to just the power of the Great Path that they had acquired. Still, their comprehension had also been incorporated into it.

A terrible b.l.o.o.d.y aurora shot out from Blood Raiment’s eyes. In the next moment, in that b.l.o.o.d.y domain world, a terrifying, b.l.o.o.d.y divine light appeared inside the b.l.o.o.d.y storm, which instantly shattered the Buddhist battle form. As it disintegrated, it was being eroded and swallowed up little by little.

Ye Futian had sensed all that was happening as he clasped his hands together, and the Light of Buddha lingered around him. Suddenly a tremendously sacred aura permeated. With the divine light still protecting him and surrounding the Buddhist battle form, that broken battle form began to repair itself and return to its previous state; that destructive, b.l.o.o.d.y divine Light was unable to continue refining it.

This battle form seemed to be in a domain of its own, and it was a domain that belonged to Ye Futian.

Ye Futian closed his eyes and clasped his hands again, incarnating as a Buddha. The Sound of Buddha was uttered from his mouth, and suddenly, the battle form expanded continuously. The Light of Buddha was getting stronger, and the area that he occupied in this s.p.a.ce continued to increase.

“What?” Blood Raiment stared at the sight in front of her. Was this Ye Futian’s counterattack?

It turned out he was able to suppress her blood refining domain.

Thousand Buddha hands appeared around that ever-increasing battle form, and each arm made the sign of the Buddha. Suddenly, Buddhist swords appeared, cutting through the demonic power like a punishment, containing incomparable sacred brilliance.

Along with the astonis.h.i.+ng blooming Light of Buddha, those many arms reached towards the sky above in unison. While those Buddhist swords slashed outward, breaking open the blood-colored s.p.a.ce, they were also aiming towards Blood Raiment, who was above.

Hundreds and thousands of sacred Buddhist swords descended in an instant, severing all demonic forces with their unspeakable power of terror.

Those many Buddhist swords swung directly at Blood Raiment, but she made no evasive moves. However, when those Buddhist divine swords came down on her, her body directly turned into a b.l.o.o.d.y light, as if she had been slain.

But Ye Futian knew very well that no harm had been suffered by the other party.

This was the art of blood transformation.

Sure enough, in another direction, a human form emerged from that b.l.o.o.d.y light, then turned into the figure of Blood Raiment, who had suffered no harm whatsoever. The attack just now did not touch her nor damage her in the slightest.

When Ye Futian saw this, he understood that as long as he could not dominate this domain world, he would never be able to defeat Blood Raiment or her art of blood transformation. Until this domain world was destroyed, Blood Raiment could always integrate back into this b.l.o.o.d.y world at any time. He would never have the upper hand in defeating his opponent unless he could control her domain world.

In the sky above, the endless b.l.o.o.d.y light turned into a b.l.o.o.d.y divine matrix and gave birth to a terrifying, b.l.o.o.d.y divine halberd. There seemed to be a b.l.o.o.d.y storm of destruction hovering as Blood Raiment stretched out her hand, suddenly holding one end of the b.l.o.o.d.y halberd and slowly pulling it out. A destructive might swept out, and that b.l.o.o.d.y halberd seemed to be an extremely powerful sub-divine arm. In fact, it was conceived by nothing other than the realm of the Great Path.

The moment Blood Raiment held the b.l.o.o.d.y divine halberd in her hand, she became extremely overbearing, as if she had transformed into an incredibly dominant empress.

Buzz! Blood Raiment disappeared right from where she was as countless b.l.o.o.d.y divine tribulations descended, smas.h.i.+ng on the Buddhist battle form. At the same time, Blood Raiment’s b.l.o.o.d.y halberd also came at him, and the b.l.o.o.d.y light of destruction penetrated this corner of the sky.

Boom… Cracks began to appear in the Buddhist battle form itself. The breath and blood tossed and roared inside of Ye Futian as his body was knocked back. The attack of Blood Raiment—just by power alone—was shocking enough.

The Devil Emperor had created his own Super Demonic Form, and the cultivators from the Devil Imperial Palace had derived various other types of powerful demonic forms from it. Blood Raiment was a disciple of the Devil Emperor, so it was no surprise that she had received a lot of his power. Just her physique and strength had surpa.s.sed some of her equals.

The Buddhist battle form collapsed and shattered with a loud bang, revealing Ye Futian’s true form as he retreated to reappear in another location. His body was surrounded by the divine light so that he was not corroded by the b.l.o.o.d.y power; his eyes continued to fasten on Blood Raiment.

It took a great deal of strength to shatter his Buddhist battle form; she deserved her reputation as a supreme cultivator of the Devil Imperial Palace.

“Although the elder’s cultivation was monstrous, you can’t keep me from making my way up.” Ye Futian looked at Blood Raiment and continued, “I’m hoping the elder will let me pa.s.s and seek an audience with the Devil Emperor.”

“Presumptuous creature.” The b.l.o.o.d.y halberd in Blood Raiment’s hand pointed at Ye Futian as she spoke coldly. Did he really think she was unable to stop him from moving forward?

Ye Futian was just too arrogant.

However, she had felt Ye Futian’s strength in this battle.

Ye Futian glanced at Blood Raiment, then a divine light of the Great Path spread towards the surroundings above his body. With him in the center, his domain world was expanding.

Blood Raiment frowned as the sea of blood roared, swallowing and refining everything, and went towards Ye Futian. However, Ye Futian’s domain s.p.a.ce directly swallowed up the sea of blood and ingested it into his domain. Blood Raiment’s expression suddenly changed.

Soon, that domain s.p.a.ce swallowed everything, including the entire b.l.o.o.d.y domain. At this moment, the domain world of the two seemed to become one, and no one couldn’t tell whose domain was under whose control. It was something that only the two of them could feel.

Blood Raiment stared at Ye Futian in disbelief. She could hardly believe that the other had gained control so late in the exchange, and his domain of the Great Path had overwhelmed and superimposed her domain world. This was the suppression of domain s.p.a.ce. She was a cultivator of the Second Tribulation Plane, and it was simply unimaginable that she was being suppressed by someone who was only in the Renhuang Realm.

Ye Futian’s thought moved, and the whole world seemed to slow down. The rules were affected while Blood Raiment could perceive that her blood refining s.p.a.ce was being suppressed and that everything was grinding to a halt.

The Sound of Buddha lingered in Ye Futian’s mouth. Suddenly, an infinite and ma.s.sive ancient Buddha appeared between heaven and earth, blocking out the sun in the sky, sheltering the entire domain world. A face of the Buddha appeared in the domain.

Ye Futian’s hands made a sign of Buddha as he continued to utter the Sound of Buddha, which turned into a terrible Vajra mantra. At the same time, the ancient Buddha who dominated this entire domain s.p.a.ce was reciting the Sound of Buddha, same as Ye Futian. Blood Raiment suddenly looked terrible. The Sound of Buddha had made her irritable.

“Enough!” The b.l.o.o.d.y light dissipated as she retracted her own domain s.p.a.ce.

Obviously, she realized that she had been defeated. When her domain was suppressed, she was soundly beaten.

“Thank you for your concession,” Ye Futian said as he continued to move higher into the sky above the Devil Imperial Palace. He said loudly, “Ye Futian asks for an audience with the Devil Emperor!”

His figure was moving higher and higher, heading toward the peak of the Devil Imperial Palace.

The Second Protector—Blood Raiment—had been beaten. In all of the Devil Imperial Palace, who could stop Ye Futian now?
