Cultivators from many different places were all gathered there. The ones who had come from the Donghua Domain and the Shangqing Domain naturally saw Ye Futian and the others as well.
At that moment, someone with an incredibly sharp gaze was staring at Ye Futian. There was a fierce look of pride in his eyes and a sense that he looked down on and despised everyone beneath him. It was, of course, Ning Hua, the vice chief of the Domain Chief of the Donghua Domain’s Manor and the man who was known as the greatest genius of the Donghua Domain.
Standing near him were cultivators from all over the Donghua Domain. They had not split up when they had come to the Original Realm. Now that the Original Realm had undergone great changes, they all had more or less the same goals. Thus, they had gathered together as a group, with the forces of the Domain Chief’s Manor as their center.
The cultivators of the Donghua Domain already knew all about the storm that Ye Futian had caused in the Shangqing Domain. Back then, the Palace Lord Ling Yunzi of Lingxiao Palace and Emperor Yan of the Great Yan Ancient Royal Family had even attacked Four Corner City, and thus they had paid great attention to that area. Afterward, they never would have thought that Ye Futian’s name would make all of the Shangqing Domain tremble and that he would become the central figure of Four Corner Village. He had received the protection of the master of Four Corner Village. When the cultivators of the Shangqing Realm had attacked him, the master had driven them away.
Now, Ye Futian’s status had risen greatly. It would not be that easy if they wanted to move against him.
Ye Futian looked back at Ning Hua, and terrifying killing will poured from his eyes. He had not forgotten Zong Chan’s death at the battle of the Donghua Domain. He would also never forget the dismissal of Wangshen Watchtower.
Zong Chan was the favored disciple of the Millet Emperor—the foremost genius of Wangshen Watchtower. He was an upper-level Renhuan with a perfect divine wheel of the seventh tier. He was one of the four great figures of the Donghua Domain. He had an incomparably bright future. He had been fated to become one of the heroes of the age.
However, he had been slain by Ning Hua in the battle where the Domain Chief’s Manor targeted Wangshen Watchtower. Ye Futian would not forget that.
This debt would certainly be repaid.
If Chen Yi had not brought him out of that battle, and if Emperor Xi had not sent his personal disciple Yang Wuqi to save him by blocking Ning Hua, allowing Ye Futian to be brought to Turtle Deity Island, things would have gone very badly for him. He would have died at Ning Hua’s hands.
It could be said that Ye Futian wished to kill Ning Hua, even more so than he wished to kill the cultivators of the Great Yan Ancient Royal Family and Lingxiao Palace. He was the man that he must slay.
The two of them locked gazes, and their eyes were cold and full of murderous intent. But there was still arrogance in Ning Hua’s eyes, whereas Ye Futian’s were full of determination. Even though Ning Hua was the vice chief of the Domain Chief’s Manor of the Donghua Domain, he would still kill him.
At that moment, a beautiful woman nodded at Ye Futian and said, “I trust you have been well since last we parted, Emperor Ye?”
Ye Futian looked over at her. Qin Qing was one of the three great disciples of the Sword Goddess of the Divine Palace of Fluttering Snow in the Donghua Domain. Beside her were two other goddesses—Jiang Yueli and Chu Hanxi.
And the Sword Goddess herself was standing before the three of them. She had come in person to the Empty Realm.
Due to the complicated relationship between Ye Futian and the Domain Chief’s Manor, the cultivators of the Donghua Domain naturally had to maintain a certain distance from Ye Futian. Qin Qing did not have to be like this. One reason was that several of the goddesses of the Divine Palace of Fluttering Snow regarded Ye Futian’s favorably and thought that he had perhaps even more potential than Ning Hua. The second reason was due to the Divine Palace of Fluttering Snow’s own strength. The Sword Goddess was the foremost sword wielder in the Donghua Domain. Even the Domain Chief had to respect her. Thus, they did not have to worry too much about this relationship.
“I hope you have been well as well,” replied Ye Futian politely. Then he looked at Sword Goddess and said, “Greetings, senior.”
Sword Goddess nodded slightly. She knew all about what had happened to him in the Shangqing Domain. He was indeed worthy of being called a hero. He had become more and more outstanding ever since he had left the Donghua Domain. Now the master of Four Corner Village was taking care of him. If Domain Chief Ning Yuan wanted to move against him, he would have to think long and hard about it.
The other people that he knew also looked at Ye Futian, like the Taihua Skylord of Taihua Mountain and the Goddess Taihua. Ye Futian was skilled at the Divine Melody, and he had left a deep impression on them.
Huang of the Desolate God Palace naturally saw Ye Futian as well. This talented man had displayed his enormously powerful divine wheel at Donghua Academy and had become incredibly famous in the Shangqing Domain after he left. Who knew how powerful he was now?
Ye Futian’s two great enemies had come as well: Emperor Yan of the Great Yan Ancient Royal Family and Palace Lord Ling Yunzi of Lingxiao Palace. They stared at Ye Futian, their murderous intent clear on their faces.
The Domain Chief of the Domain Chief’s Manor Ning Yuan had not come. Emperor Yan and Ling Yunzi had come because Ning Yuan had promised to guard their lair for them. Lingxiao Palace was in the Donghua Heavens, so Ning Yuan was able to guard it directly. The Great Yan Ancient Royal Family was nearby as well, and so the Domain Chief’s Manor had secretly sent a top figure there as well. Moreover, the Domain Chief’s Manor had set up a teleportation matrix connecting the two forces so that they could support each other instantly.
Their goal was obviously to protect against the Millet Emperor and Li Changsheng. They hoped that when the two of them appeared, they could take them down to avoid future troubles. Otherwise, these two great powers would not be able to eat or sleep in peace. They would not dare to make any rash actions. Whenever they left, they had to worry about the safety of their home.
Domain Chief Ning Yuan did not dare to leave either. The Millet Emperor and Wangsheng Watchtower had a deep alliance. The Millet Emperor, who bore the divine stela, could wield its power, giving him the ability to let loose terrifying combat ability. He was even able to fight Ning Yuan, which had been put to the test last time. Thus, Ning Yuan had to stay at the Domain Chief Manor.
Ye Futian swept his gaze over the people from these forces. When the Original Realm was in chaos, people gathered from all directions. The Millet Emperor, Li Changsheng, Zong Chan, and the other cultivators of Wangsheng Watchtower should all be here too, but there was no trace of them. Zong Chan had been slain, and the Millet Emperor and Li Changsheng were hidden away in secret. This was all the fault of the Domain Chief’s Manor.
He naturally understood that the Great Yan Ancient Royal Family and Lingxiao Palace had been sent here by the Domain Chief’s Manor. The Domain Chief’s Manor was backing them.
In another direction, Ye Futian could see many of the forces from the Shangqing Domain: cultivators from the Nanhai Family, the Lu family, the Demon Cloud clan, and more were all there. They were gazing at Ye Futian as well.
Nowadays, no one in the Shangqing Domain did not know Ye Futian.
In the battle where they had threatened Four Corner Village, the master had fought like a stampeding god. Ye Futian’s name was now incredibly glorious as well and had spread all throughout the world.
Seeing the many powerful people around Ye Futian, they could already tell that he had come from the Original Realm and that he was a cultivator from there. But they never would have thought that he was so powerful within the Original Realm. And there were many powerful people following him as well.
Sure enough, the light of such a person could not be concealed here. Presumably, before he had left the Original Realm, his name had already shaken this unfallen world.
The forces of the Original Realm naturally did not need to say very much. They were obviously very familiar with Ye Futian.
It seemed that Ye Futian left a deep impression everywhere he went.
Of course, in addition to this, many of the top figures who had come from the mainland were not familiar with Ye Futian. Many of the cultivators here had frightening auras, and their power filled the sky. Standing there was like standing amidst the ancient gods.
Ye Futian had never before seen such a terrifying formation. Even back when the Divine Prefecture and the two great powers had fought a small-scale war, there had not been a formation like this.
After all, the power that the three forces had mobilized at that time had been limited. But this time was different. The Imperial Palace had let all the forces of the Divine Prefecture come here, and most of the forces from the Dark Realm and the Empty Divine Realm had sent their top figures to the Original Realm.
Thus, it could be said that once the Original Realm began to change, the group of people that appeared was unprecedently strong. Not only were the heroes of the Original Realm there, but also all the top powerhouses of the vast world.
In addition to those of the cultivators that had come, there was also a terrible aura coming from the darkness. No one went out into it, but everyone could sense the invisible power seeping out of it. Who knew how many cultivators coveted the power of the Original Realm?
Because of this, Dou Zhao had scolded the Palace Lord of the School of the Emperor Star. Although the forces that had come from the Divine Prefecture were greedy, many of them still had some scruples and would not dare be too outrageous. The Imperial Palace was ever-present, and they would not dare to directly destroy the Nine Realms.
However, as a native power of the Ziwei Realm, the School of the Emperor Star had actually destroyed the base of power for their own faction. They had opened up the veins of the earth. In that way, the other forces did not need to stand on ceremony and had come here one by one.
Perhaps this was because the Palace Lord of the School of the Emperor Star held a scepter that could produce a resonance with the power within. Maybe that was why he thought he could do it!
Beside Ye Futian, Old Ma looked into the deep hole. “The power coming out of there is terrifying. It will not be easy to go in.” Terrible light was shining out, and the power that seeped out of the hole could truly be called horrifying. Even top-level figures would not lightly set foot inside.
“This power will probably gradually weaken. You can see that right now, it is spreading out through the entire Ziwei Realm. The peak of the power has been unleashed. It will probably lead to the destruction of the Ziwei Realm,” Emperor Nan whispered, seemingly concerned. If this was truly the case, the cultivators of the Ziwei Realm were truly unfortunate. They would likely be thrust into an abyss of misery.
The actions of the School of the Emperor Star had truly been without pity or mercy!
