Many Human Realm cultivators turned their eyes to the injured Ancient Tianshen. They were wondering what kind of power was stored within the flick of Ye Futian’s finger.
“What kind of Divine Power was that?” someone asked through telepathy. They were taken aback by the explosive force of the flick of Ye Futian’s finger. They knew the strength of their comrade. Yet, he could not handle the attack.
“I’m not sure. The Divine Power within the flick of his finger was substantial and profound, like the Divine Mountain. Some part of it felt like the Divine Power of the Stars. He must have packed the Divine Power of the Stars into that flick,” the Ancient Tianshen answered, much to the other cultivators’ surprise.
“As fellow Great Emperors-To-Be, your cultivation level should technically be the same, even if he were a Path Slayer. We’ve met a handful of the Divine Power of the Stars’ users before. By right, you should have been able to destroy it with your Divine Power. Even if you could not shatter it, you should have ended up like that,” a person remarked telepathically in confusion.
Every cultivator in this world gained their Divine Power through enlightenment. But, there were consistent patterns. Many similar abilities could be categorized as a type of Divine Power. The Divine Power of the Stars was one of them. So, it was not a rare ability.
“Unless it was the ultimate form of the Divine Power of the Stars,” someone commented. The pupils of the Human Realm Cultivators shrunk after hearing that.
The final form of the Divine Power of the Stars’ evolution was the Divine Power of the World.
If Ye Futian gained the Divine Power of the World through his meditation, his strength among the Great Emperors would be top tier after reaching that plane of cultivation.
There were ranks between Divine Powers.
“We should focus on our cultivation so that we would reach the perfection plane the soonest possible,” one of them said. Everyone nodded in agreement. To prevent the problems from getting out of hand, they continued with their cultivation. Once they perfected their Great Path, they would become a bona fide Great Emperor. If they could reach that tier before Ye Futian, they could wipe the floor with him even if he gained the Divine Power of the World.
With that, the cultivators of Human Realm acquiesced that the cultivators of Ye Imperial Palace would cultivate around the area of the Divine Sword and gain enlightenment on the Divine Power within it.
Likewise, no one stopped the cultivators of Ye Imperial Palace from entering the other areas of the Divine Items. Although the people of Empty Divine Realm felt a little dissatisfied, they were not overly opposing as they both had common enemies. The cultivators of Ye Imperial Palace who were proficient in the Power of the Great Path of Space got near to the Divine Door of Space and meditated on the Will of the Great Path of the Law of Space.
At that time, the cultivators around the world thought, Ye Imperial Palace was the only force without a Great Emperor. Yet, its cultivators dare occupy the cultivation resources of all the other forces. This is the only thing none of the other Emperor-level forces can pull off.
All things considered, it was all due to Ye Futian’s might. As a person who became a Great Emperor-To-Be, no one could hold a candle to him apart from the Six Great Emperors. Although all the strongest individuals in the world, including many Ancient Emperor cultivators, were gathered at that place, only a handful of them could hold their own in a battle with him, except if there were extremely powerful cultivators lurking in the dark.
Countless cultivators on the ground of the Ninety-Nine Heavens saw the might of the flicker and were stunned by it. Just how powerful had Ye Futian become?
Back then, the five Great Emperors of the five Ancient God Clans purged countless cultivators of Ye Imperial Palace. At that time, Ye Futian narrowly escaped death. But who would’ve thought that the incident would be the cause of his invincibility currently? If the five Ancient Emperors could foresee this outcome, they would have used other methods to finish him off. They would not have looked at him condescendingly and given him time to take a break and eventually survived the third tribulation.
Would they finally regret their actions back then?
The world cultivation once revered the Demigod List. But Near-Deity Cultivators were no longer considered influential in the current world. The discovery of the Ruins of the Gods caused the birth of countless Near-Deity Cultivators. The Great Emperors of ancient times continuously showed up around as well.
At that point, people must be focused on the Great Emperor-To-Be List and perhaps the Great Emperor List shortly.
Everyone had the hunch that the prophecy of Buddha of Destiny would come true. The Age of the Gods would take place in no time. The time when the Ruins of the Gods appeared was the catalyst. It was a historic moment.
“Will the strength of Ye Futian threaten Donghuang the Great?” Some of the crowd recounted the remaining duration of Donghuang the Great’s Fate of the Emperor, which only had around 20 years left. Everyone believed that the Age of the Gods would take place.
But even if Ye Futian became a Great Emperor, could he end Donghuang the Great’s Fate of the Emperor?
Donghuang the Great had been a Great Emperor for almost 500 years. This talented genius was already an extremely powerful cultivator back then. No one knew the extent of his current strength.
Many thoughts ran through the minds of the cultivators of Divine Prefecture. Most of them were glaring at Ye Futian hostile looks while scowling at the cultivators of Ye Imperial Palace in displeasure.
A significant number of Divine Prefecture’s cultivators were meditating around the Divine Mountain to gain enlightenment on its power. Donghuang Diyuan was there as well.
“How arrogant of him to behave like that when he is just a Great Emperor-To-Be. Did he forget that the existence of the Six Great Emperors?” someone criticized. The owner of the voice was Du You. He was a powerful Near-Deity Cultivator at that time. As the direct disciple of Donghuang the Great, his talent was extraordinary.
Even though he had reached Near-Deity Plane, he was still no match for Ye Futian.
“Things would get ugly if you push your luck too much. He hasn’t even become a Great Emperor. Did he think that he could already stand at the pinnacle of the cultivation world?” a person from Divine Prefecture retorted. Although they could not handle Ye Futian currently, they did not like his arrogance.
He was still alive because the Six Great Emperors did not lay a finger on him.
Ye Futian turned his eyes on Du You, who was talking. With a thought, his and the other people’s faces turned pale, and they immediately fell from the sky as an invisible Divine Power pressed them down. Although they unleashed the Aura of the Great Path from their bodies, they could not stop themselves from descending. Beads of sweat broke out on their foreheads while they plummeted downward.
“At the very least, I don’t dare to talk big in front of the Six Great Emperors. You two are more arrogant than I am,” Ye Futian retorted. At once, both of them felt a quiver in their bodies. Then, they grunted as the color drained from their faces.
All the cultivators understood Ye Futian’s sarcasm toward the two of them. The difference between their strength and the former was like the gap of the man’s might and the Six Great Emperors. Therefore, Du You and the other person were running their mouths before him was pretty ridiculous.
“Zip your lips and focus on your cultivation first before you come and talk to me!” Ye Futian remarked. With that, he ignored the rest of them and closed his eyes to continue his meditation.
He knew better than anyone else about his current circumstance. If he took a step forward, he would achieve greater heights. But if he fell back, things might turn ugly for him. So it all came down to the Six Great Emperors’ attitude.
Devil World, Empty Divine Realm, and Dark World had the intention to help him fight Donghuang the Great. Meanwhile, the Human Ancestor and the Lord of All Buddhas’ thoughts remained unknown. The Six Great Emperors’ attitude would decide his fate.
Thus, he would not leave Heavenly Emperor Realm if he did not reach the Great Emperor Plane this time. Since the Heavenly Path manifested in this realm, he might as well stay here and meditate on it with his subordinates. His current focus was to perfect his Micro Heavenly Path. So that when he faced Donghuang the Great again, he could stand a chance in the battle with the latter.
At that moment, he was uncertain about the magnitude of the Six Great Emperors’ power. He could only gauge their strength after becoming a Great Emperor and fighting them.
Should he become a Great Emperor through Path Slaying Cultivation, his strength would be comparable to that of Donghuang the Great.
