Deep within the ground of the ruins was a mountain that remained intact. This small world was built with superlative craftsmanship.
There was a Divine Matrix on top of the mountain. At that time, Divine Light was radiating from it, manifesting light runes all over the place. At once, the overwhelming Will of this realm flowed into the Divine Matrix. The woman in white closed her eyes in deep slumber in the middle of it. She remained
still on the spot like a sculpture.
The woman in white must be the descendant of the Great Emperor, who passed away during the great war. The Great Emperor must have wished to resurrect their daughter. Therefore, they nourished her with their Will, hoping that she would become sentient one day. Although she might become a
totally different person after her resurrection, it could not change the fact that she was resurrected. So, that might very well be the wish of the Great Emperor.
Ye Futian peered at the center of the Divine Matrix, where an overbearing Will gathered. The woman in white was sleeping in there quietly while letting it seep into her body. She was not a living cultivator. So she had been revitalized by the Will of the Great Emperor for countless years. Unlike Ye Futian,
she would not devour it forcefully. However, she would be unrivaled in strength after being born this way. After all, she was already more than just a cultivator, in a way.
‘When the day she finally became sentient arrived, no one could hold a candle to her apart from Great Emperors.
“Let’s begin,” Donghuang Diyuan uttered. Next, she moved toward the void and walked in the woman in white’s direction, which was the Divine Matrix.
Boom! Donghuang Diyuan raised her hand and hurled a punch that contained Fist Will with pure strength. She did not unleash the Force of the Great Path. Her attack was launched toward the woman in white inside the Divine Matrix. Yet, the Fist Will was blocked by the Fighting Will around the Divine
Matrix upon impact. It did not reach the woman in white, who was still in her slumber.
“It’s not strong enough.” After furrowing her brows, Donghuang Diyuan released the Will of the Great Path without hesitation. At that moment, the power of Ancestral Dragon and Divine Phoenix exploded from within her. The cry of the dragon and phoenix caused the void to tremble. Pure-blooded
Dragon and Divine Phoenix flew toward the sky and surrounded her. After lifting her hand, Tianxing Divine Sword blasted off and turned into a gust.
In that instant, the silhouette of the Divine Phoenix carried the Divine Sword and launched toward its target.
Covering in the Flame of Divine Phoenix, Tianxing Divine Sword launched toward the Divine Matrix, penetrated the Light Screen of the Will, and aimed at its target in the center. Suddenly, a sonorous could be heard when a massive Phantom of Phoenix manifested. It flew toward the middle where the
woman in white had been.
At that moment, the woman in white opened her eyes. Her soulless eyes had become vibrant. Lifting her hand, she launched an attack with a tremendous power that traversed space itself. Immediately, the Divine Sword shattered as the Phantom of Divine Phoenix broke into pieces.
After that, the Will of this realm charged toward Donghuang Diyuan, who unleashed her strongest defense to fend off the attack while setting her eyes forward.
With that, the woman in white strode toward Donghuang Diyuan and stretched her palm forward. Instantly, she formed a Divine Sword with the Fighting Will, attempting to imitate the latter.
Whoosh! Donghuang Diyuan retreated backward. Although the woman in white had become sentient, she hoped the latter would not be too intelligent.
A powerful Fighting Will locked onto Donghuang Diyuan’s form. In the next moment, the woman in white moved forward, getting closer to the direction the former fled.
After that, Ye Futian looked at the Divine Matrix and noticed the Divine Light around it remained illuminated. A while later, it gradually came to a halt. So, he saw the opportunity to move. Ina flash, his silhouette could be seen in the middle of the Divine Matrix.
Swoosh! Ye Futian felt a terrifying Will flood into his body—one that the Gods left behind. He was instantly drowned by it as it tried to invade his Will frantically, trying to devour him.
Bang! At that time, the Will of the World Tree emanated from Ye Futian’s body, consuming the power of the Will in this realm. The Will of the World Tree and the Will of Tianshen intertwined with one another, creating an invisible force that filled the atmosphere.
He began to experience what happened during the power struggle with the Will of the Mahoraga. He could feel an unparalleled power in the form of a powerful Will engulfing him after he drew the Power of the World Tree into this small world. The former inundated him with its powerful Will, attempting
to swallow his Will.
The intense Will assaulted Ye Futian because he was not the woman in white. Hence, he could not yoke together with this Will. The woman in white was born in this small world; thus, she could match up with it perfectly.
However, he used the Power of the World Tree to merge his Will with this small world, just like what he did before. At once, he could see the entire landscape within the small world through the Divine Matrix.
The first person he saw was Donghuang Diyuan, who was in imminent danger since the woman in white had been launching deadly attacks at her.
“Mm?” Ye Futian squeezed his brows together all of a sudden when he noticed another cultivator within the realms.
It was Ji Wudao!
Ye Futian could not believe his eyes. The successor of the Heavenly Emperor was inside the small world as well.
On top of that, Ji Wudao was heading toward him.
Swoosh! A silhouette could be seen rushing toward him. It was Ji Wudao who infiltrated the Divine Matrix and dashed in his direction at high speed.
Without a doubt, Ji Wudao has arrived earlier and had been lying in wait to ambush him.
After Ji Wudao raised his hand, an enormous palm appeared inside the Divine Matrix from nowhere. It immediately tured into a frightening vortex that engulfed the force of nature.
Ye Futian felt a tremendous suction force pulling his body, causing the power inside his body to leak out involuntarily. It felt as if that suction force could consume everything in its path. It was a terrifying sight to behold.
In fact, Ye Futian felt as though the Power of the Will that assimilated with his was about to be swallowed up by the vortex.
With a thought, Ye Futian summoned a Divine Sword. Then he hurled it at Ji Wudao with a force so tremendous that it broke through the barrier of space. Still, the latter did not retract his palm. Instead, the powerful vortex sucked the entire Divine Sword into it like a bottomless abyss.
Ye Futian’s heart skipped a beat at the sight of it. With a thought, he unleashed a Great Palm and launched it toward Ji Wudao violently. It was so colossal that it covered a vast area.
Boom! A deafening bang sounded when the Great Palm smashed to smithereens. Ji Wudao could be seen entering the Divine Matrix as a blood-curdling power flowed around his body. Right away, the forces of nature flooded into his body as if it were a black hole capable of engulfing everything within its
vicinity.
At that moment, Ye Futian suddenly recounted something he heard before entering God’s relic.
Rumor had it that a mysterious and powerful cultivator emerged out of the blue and plundered many ruins. He was ruthless yet highly formidable. He could consume the inheritance of the ruins forcefully and caused numerous strong individuals to lose their lives in his hand.
This person had reached the highest possible cultivation level. Therefore, the people he targeted were powerful cultivators from all the known realms. The fact only added to his great power. Many had surmised that he might be an old monstrous cultivator who had been living a long life.
After putting two and two together, Ye Futian had an epiphany about who that mysterious figure might be..
