Chapter 2812: Old God and New Emperor
The West Emperor, Supreme Swordlord, and the others moved forward. Both the West Emperor and Supreme Swordlord cultivated in the Way of the Sword. So, the two of them walked toward the Divine Sword.
Following that, Ye Wuchen, Gu Dongliu, and the like approached the Divine Sword.
On the other hand, Fang Cun and the group headed in the Door of Space’s direction, while Ling Long led many people toward the Divine Mountain.
The cultivators of Ye Imperial Palace acted according to Ye Futian’s instruction. All of them wanted divine items related to their cultivation.
To think that they would dare to do his bidding without hesitation just went to display their absolute trust toward him.
Because of their deep faith in Ye Futian, they did what he had asked without delay—meditating with each divine item they deemed fit.
On the vast land of the ninety-nine heavens stood many cultivators from every part of the world, who were glaring at the cultivators of Ye Imperial Palace.
Would anyone dare to lay a finger on them?
If someone were to assault Ye Futian’s subordinates to kill him, would he not be worried that they might be killed?
Or did he believe that no one dared to do so?
However, Ye Futian was the one who ended the life of Vajra Realm Great Emperor. Those who wished to lay a finger on the people of Ye Imperial Palace might need to reconsider carefully. Still, no one would dare risk killing one of them.
At that moment, several cultivators from the direction of the Human Realm’s crowd moved forward. All of them emanated blood-curdling Divine Power from within their bodies, giving off an aura that could hold a candle to the likes of Vajra Realm Great Emperor and the Ancient Emperors of the Ancient God Clan.
“So they’ve already survived the third Divine Tribulation and reached the Great Emperor-To-Be Plane?” Ye Futian remarked with a frown. He did not care much about the Human Realm previously. But it seemed like the powerful cultivators there were more than he had imagined.
“Human Ancestor must have formed his Micro Heavenly Path,” Ye Futian murmured to himself. Back then, the Human Realm extended an invitation to him, asking him to be absorbed into their side. In retrospect, they must have been trying to win over the powerful individuals from different parts of the world since the Human Ancestor had secured a Path of the Emperors.
The Ancient Emperors of Ancient God Clan from Vajra Realm walked on the Path of the Emperors after they headed to the Human Realm.
Nevertheless, Ye Futian did not care much about it. He could kill Vajra Realm Great Emperor and held his ground against four Great Emperors-To-Be back then. But his strength had already increased dramatically since then as his inner world continued to evolve.
His strength would be increased each time he evolved. So, his current might was equal to that of a Great Emperor-To-Be. At the end of his evolution, he would become a true Great Emperor.
Noticing Ye Futian’s gaze, the cultivators from Human Realm surged their Divine Power like the Gods in ancient times. They were all Ancient Emperors themselves. The aura they emanated and their supercilious air were matchless.
One of them took a step forward. His Divine Power suppressed the location of Ye Futian from a far distance. However, he did not lay a finger on the people headed toward the Divine Sword. If they could not defeat Ye Futian, they were essentially signing their death warrant.
If Ye Futian were a pushover, the cultivators of Ye Imperial Palace would not survive until that day.
An intimidating Authority of Heaven filled the entire atmosphere of the ninety-nine heavens. All the cultivators who stood between them retreated from the spot immediately, leaving the sight of a boundless land. It was as if they were the only two people who existed there.
“Great Emperors-To-Be. Two of them?” many cultivators muttered while glancing at the Ancient Emperor from the Human Realm and Ye Futian.
Back then, they had only heard about the story of Ye Futian killing Vajra Realm Great Emperor and slaying Haotian the Great. Would they be able to witness the battle of Ancient Emperor this time?
Boom! A loud rumble could be heard. The Will of Devastation filled up the atmosphere. Simultaneously, a purple Light of Destruction was generated between the Ancient Emperor and Ye Futian.
“A Thunder Attribute Divine Power,” Ye Futian mumbled after sensing the power. Innumerable light particles formed rays of purple Light of Destruction. Every particle was brimmed with peerless destructive power.
This Ancient Emperor must have gained enlightenment on the purest form of the Way of Thunder Source and assimilated it with his own Divine Power.
Ye Futian could sense immense destructive power within each particle of the rays of Divine Light. Imagine every particle that contained Jiutian Divine Thunder. How terrifying would the explosive force be?
One of them could easily penetrate the body of a powerful cultivator and disintegrate it completely. However, when the Divine Power touched Ye Futian, the Divine Light could not even pierce through his body’s defense.
Clang! Clang! Shrill noises could be heard when an apocalyptic purple Divine Light lit up the atmosphere while covering Ye Futian’s body. The fabric of space over there was nearly torn by the Divine Power of Destruction. Yet, he stood in the middle of it without moving an inch.
His body was no longer just flesh and blood. It had transformed into the Great Path.
Cultivators on the sidelines could tell how petrifying the Divine Power of the Ancient Tianshen of the Human Realm was. Their blood ran cold even though that power was not directed at them. The destructive light penetrated the land beneath Ye Futian’s feet and traversed the ninety-nine heavens did not improve the situation. Some unfortunate people were instantly reduced to ashes by the light beam. None of them even had the time to react.
The Divine Power that penetrated the ninety-nine heavens caught the attention of a myriad of crowds. They were aghast at the sight of it. At that time, countless powerful cultivators gathered in that realm and occupied every layer. The onlookers witnessed many people incinerated by the Divine Light beamed from above.
Was it the battle of the Gods?
It’s Ye Futian.” Someone looked past the layers of space to the source of the beam of Divine Light and saw Ye Futian, who stood still at the middle of the attack of the Divine Power, not making a sound.
“Old Gods,” Ye Futian piped up, “this is no longer your era!”
He spoke in an indifferent tone. Yet, his voice traveled to the ears of the crowds in the ninety-nine heavens. They were taken aback by his remark, by which he called the Ancient Emperors “Old Gods,” and that this was no longer their era. In other words, he was saying they were beings out of time.
Boom! The Destructive Divine Light became increasingly fearsome. In a flash, the man held a long spear brimming with Divine Power in his hand. The sight of the Destructive Divine Light illuminated the whole atmosphere was terrifying to behold.
Shooting Ye Futian a glare, he launched the spear downward, and it broke through the void while the Destructive Divine Light lit up the sky.
Nonetheless, Ye Futian’s reaction speed was exceedingly fast. He was so nimble that the onlookers could not catch up to him. His motions were faster than the speed of thoughts.
Before anyone could react, they noticed Ye Futian raise his hand high and point toward the long spear.
A seemingly simple pointing motion caused the entire atmosphere to tremble. Then, Divine Light could be seen firing at the other party’s Divine Light, putting out the latter upon impact and launching toward the destructive spear.
Bang! Following a loud bang, the massive spear broke into pieces. The powerful attack passed through the destroyed spear and hit the Divine Body of the Ancient Emperor.
The Ancient Emperor could hear a deep groan as he felt like his Divine Frame was about to shatter. In the next moment, he spat blood out of his mouth.
The sight of it caused the hearts of the onlookers in the ninety-nine heavens to pound like crazy. They were looking at the happening above the sky intensely.
A flick of his finger could spill the blood of a God.
Just how powerful had Ye Futian become?
He must have reached the tier of Great Emperor-To-Be!
At that time, they recounted Ye Futian calling the Ancient Emperor “Old God” earlier. In other words, he was saying that the era of the ancient times’ Heavenly Path had already passed. Even if the Old Gods returned, it was no longer their time to shine.
Would Ye Futian and his crazy powerful bunch of cultivators kick start a brand new epoch?
