Ye Futian and his party appeared in front of the gate of the Heavenly Palace. Their attention was focused on those cultivators who continued to walk into it. Ye Futian noted to himself that cultivators everywhere were equally fervent for the powerful relics that might elevate their cultivations.
However, with all the Great Emperor-level forces present, would any of these cultivators have any chance of getting anything?
For them, a crisis was far more promising than an opportunity. Even so, these cultivators were still coming, if only for a remote possibility that they might obtain the relics. The reality was that only those near-deity existences had some chance of achieving that. Even those cultivators in the Second Tribulation Plane had a slight chance without the help of imperial arms.
Even if there were relics, they were unable to compete with any of these major powers. Even if, by chance, they obtained something, it was very possible that they would be hunted down and robbed of it later.
Of course, Ye Futian himself was still planning on going in.
Without thinking too much about it, Ye Futian stepped over the gate to the Heavenly Palace and walked into the land that the Deva once ruled in ancient days.
As soon as Ye Futian and the others passed through the gate to the Heavenly Palace and entered inside, they were shocked by the sight in front of them.
This place was like a small world, and so far, it was the most well-preserved site among all the relics on this ancient continent. In this small world, although the buildings everywhere had collapsed, the magnificent ruins of the Heavenly Court were vaguely visible.
The small world was actually quite expansive. At a glance, there were clusters of buildings everywhere, all of which were ancient relics. Each cluster of buildings was majestic, located in different locations, and each had its own characteristics.
Those might be the places of cultivation for the divine generals in the Heavenly Court. After countless years, they became relics, but they were still permeated with an extremely terrifying aura.
The master of the Old Heaven Court’s strength must have been one of the strongest in the ancient times, which accounted for his control over the Deva.
Such figures must have many great emperors under his command.
After all, that was the age of the emperors.
Deva was the leader of the Eight Legions under the Heavenly Path, dominated over the entire world.
In the distance, many cultivators were moving in one direction. When Ye Futian and the others raised their heads to look where they were going, they saw that there was a heavenly palace at the edge of the sky, elusive and ethereal. That ought to be the real Heavenly Palace, where the lord of Deva, the Heavenly Emperor, had once resided in ancient times.
Ye Futian continued moving forward. After entering this place, all the cultivators flickered their way in different directions. In many other places, they had sensed the existence of the relics from the great emperors.
“The relics here should be even more than that of the Mahoraga Tribe,” Supreme Swordlord said softly.
“As the head of the Eight Legion, this is to be expected at the site where the Deva resided,” Ye Futian responded, agreeing with the assessment of the Supreme Swordlord. They could already feel that there were several sites of the relics that contained the will of the Great Emperor.
“No wonder these various forces have to fight for it,” Supreme Swordlord said. After having cultivated in their respective relics for several years, they now saw new opportunities ushered in by the attacks of the Divine Prefecture led by Donghuang Diyuan. Together, they stood a better chance of invading inside the Old Heaven Court.
They didn’t want to let go of the relics at the Old Heaven Court. In the eyes of several Great Emperor-level forces, the relics of the Mahoraga that Ye Futian controlled were nothing compared to the relics at the Old Heaven Court.
Now, just as they wished, they had made their way here.
At this moment, wisps of terrific aura fell on Ye Futian and the others, making Ye Futian and his group of people frown. Then, from different directions, many other cultivators came to surround them; their murderous intent was sky-high.
“Those pesky suckers,” the Supreme Swordlord said with his brows knitted. It was those people again—the cultivators of the Ancient God Clans from the Divine Prefecture. They were not in a hurry to plunder the relics here. On the contrary, they wanted to take this opportunity to confront Ye Futian.
Obviously, they had been keeping tabs on Ye Futian, tracking his every movement.
The Vajra Region Lord stood at the forefront, surrounded by golden divine light, which covered the boundless space. On the Mahoraga’s relics site, the Vajra Divine Child was killed by Fang Cun. With a new blood feud added onto old grudges, the Vajra Region hated the cultivators from Ziwei Imperial Palace with a passion, and they couldn’t wait to slaughter all of them immediately.
“How dare you come out of the Mahoraga Tribe?” the Vajra Region Lord said with a horrific murderous intent upon him. Before, by the time they got to the Mahoraga Tribe, they couldn’t do anything because Ye Futian was naturally compatible with the will of the Mahoraga. Then, when Yu Sheng and Ye Qingyao showed up, they had no choice but to retreat, having sustained considerable loss. In the end, they could not cause any damages to Ye Futian and the others.
But now, Ye Futian had walked out of the relics of the Mahoraga and came here.
Without the will of the Mahoraga, how would he contend against them?
There would only be death for him.
Several Ancient God Clans had possessed the wills of the Great Emperors. Therefore, even if their opponent had the support of someone like Supreme Swordlord and Xi Chiyao, it was not enough to deter them.
“I am not interested in playing with you people just now. You guys should focus on cultivating some more and improving your strength. That way, maybe you get to live for a few more years,” Ye Futian looked at them and said. His words caused these cultivators to frown; how dare he be so arrogant?
What did Ye Futian have to use to contend with them?
“After we killed you, the relics of the Mahoraga will be unguarded. At that time, we can slaughter all the cultivators inside and control the relics of the Mahoraga, which will be just as good as the relics from this Old Heaven Court,” the Vajra Region Lord said. Above the firmament, a terrifying Vajra Dominion appeared, covering the sky and obstructing the sun, sealed off this corner of the sky. The unparalleled divine power of the Vajra Region fell and bathed the Vajra Region Lord under the divine power of the Vajra Region as if the ancient god of the Vajra Region had descended.
After a few years of not seeing him, it seemed that the strength of the Vajra Region Lord had magnified again.
Likewise, other cultivators from the Ancient God Clans were releasing a terrifying aura, which enveloped this area to prevent Ye Futian from escaping. Everyone knew that Ye Futian was good at Buddha’s Celerity which allowed him to evade capture easily. To deal with Ye Futian, the first thing they had to do was to seal off the space they were in.
“Swordlord, make sure everyone is safe,” Ye Futian said to Supreme Swordlord.
“No problem.” Supreme Swordlord held the imperial arms, the divine sword, and forged a sword domain to protect all their cultivators within it. Ye Futian walked a few steps forward, glanced at the Vajra Region Lord, then raised his head to focus on the dominion above the sky.
Above this dominion, the divine power of the Vajra Region was circulating endlessly. The golden divine light was shining with a radiance that seemed indestructible.
This was the true divine power of the Vajra Region, containing the divine power of the Great Emperor’s will, stronger than anything and utterly indestructible.
Everyone was looking at Ye Futian with a strange look. What did he want to do by stepping out alone at a time like this?
Did he want to tempt death?
Everyone thought that it would be Supreme Swordlord who would act first.
But at this moment, they could feel that there were rays of the Great Path divine light that flowed about on Ye Futian. At the same time, he stretched out his hand. When the Great Path divine light poured into his palm, suddenly a ruler appeared in the palm of Ye Futian’s hand.
“What is that?”
The cultivators stared at the divine ruler in Ye Futian’s hand. This was not an imperial arms but a peculiar power of the Great Path. However, the aura contained in it made them feel a little apprehensive.
Would Ye Futian deal out some other amazing feat again?
Buzz! Just as they were pondering on the matter, Ye Futian’s body moved as he soared upward and appeared in a place upon high in just an instant. With his arm facing up, the ruler in his hand unleashed at the dominion forged by the divine power of the Vajra Region and fell on that sealed area.
“You are nothing but an ant trying to shake the tree!” The Vajra Region Lord gave a great yell, and there was strong sarcasm in the words he spoke as if he was dismissive of what Ye Futian was doing.
How could he be so arrogant as to imagine that he could break down the Vajra Dominion cast by the divine power of the Vajra Region by using a ruler?
Pssst! A crystalline sound was heard at this moment as the ruler stabbed directly in the middle of the Vajra Dominion. The divine power of the Vajra Region was flowing endlessly. Still, at this moment, when the divine power of the Vajra Region encountered that ruler, it was avoiding it madly and retreated whichever way it could.
It seemed that the divine power of the Vajra Region had been suppressed completely.
“Break!” Ye Futian spat. Suddenly a light rule exploded from the divine ruler. In an instant, a glow swept across the void, as the Vajra Dominion shattered and collapsed in an instant, completely and utterly destroyed.
The Great Path Domain that had been forged by the divine power of the Vajra Region, was broken in an instant.
When the Vajra Region Lord saw what was happening in front of him, his heart was greatly horrified and he was unable to move his eyes. How could this be possible? And how did Ye Futian manage to do it?
The eyes of the other cultivators were frozen in that direction as well. They stared at the ruler that was in Ye Futian’s hand, and wondered what kind of divine item was that?
This ruler was actually able to penetrated and split through the Vajra Dominion.
Aside from this ruler, they also discovered that a streamer of the Great Path was flowing freely about Ye Futian, as if the will of the Great Path upon him was self-contained and complemented with the divine ruler perfectly.
What they saw before them was so similar to the divine light that circulated around Donghuang Diyuan and Ji Wudao before.
Ye Futian, too, was one foot in the realm of near-deity!
