Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

“No!” The Infernal King stared at Ye Futian and refused. A mighty pressure permeated the atmosphere, colliding with the aura of Renhuang Chen.

Renhuang Chen might be strong, but as the number three person presiding over the eight thrones of the Dark Court, he was not afraid of Renhuang Chen.

He didn’t attack Ye Futian because he had some reservations regarding that mysterious teacher, not because of Ye Futian himself or any of these cultivators from Heavenly Mandate Academy. Otherwise, he would have already gone to war with them.

As a cultivator from the Dark Court and as the master of the Infernal Throne, apart from those who had survived the second Divine Tribulation and the Emperor of the Highest, not many others could scare him.

As for his nephew, how could he hand him over? Whether it was from the standpoint of the Dark Court or the standpoint of the clan...

If he had handed his nephew over today, wouldn’t that mean the Dark Court was in fear of a junior figure? And how would he explain this to his senior brother?

In the Dark World, his senior brother, the clan leader of the Infernal Clan, was an existence with transcendent status.

Clearly, Ye Futian felt the aura from the Infernal King. He knew it was highly improbable for this master of a throne from the Dark Court to relinquish the guilty party to him.

Surveying the situation and judging from the makeup of the cultivators present at the moment, the Dark Court was a few degrees stronger than they were. If they started a war, they could have a high chance of losing.

He glanced at the young man in black in the sky below, and his murderous intention was stronger still.

“This is not over yet,” said Ye Futian coldly. He then looked at the Infernal King and said, “Please leave, all of you.”

The Infernal King knew what Ye Futian meant. Obviously, the matter would not end there, and he was not so quick to write this off, but he was constrained by the current circumstances to let them go. In the future, he would find a way to execute his nephew.

“Even though you have powerful backings, you need to recognize who are the masters of this world,” said the Infernal King. He then waved his hand, beckoning his people to go.

The master of the Divine Prefecture, such as Donghuang the Great, the master of the Dark Court, the Evil Emperor of the Empty Divine Realm, and several other supreme cultivators were considered the true masters of this world.

Perhaps there was someone behind Ye Futian who was on the level of the Great Emperor, but if he was foolish enough to declare war on the Dark World, then the master of the Dark Court himself may get involved personally.

Before leaving, the young man in black looked at Ye Futian coldly, as well as that strong cultivator whose Divine Wheel of the Great Path had been shattered. Both left with reluctance. They came from the Infernal Clan and were humiliated in the land of the Original Realm. If it weren’t for the intervention of the Infernal King, they would have died here. This was such an unbearable disgrace.

In the distance, dark currents tumbled and roared. Soon, those men disappeared.

Watching them leave, Ye Futian retracted his focus. Although he was now in the realm of Upper Renhuang, and his combat power had reached the level of near-invincible, just a hair beneath those major figureheads, he was still a little behind if he wanted to contend with the peak forces in this world.

“Let’s first settle the cultivators from this world first and take them to other domains,” said Ye Futian. This domain had been destroyed by this great battle and had previously experienced unprecedented blood bath. It was no longer suitable for any cultivators to remain here.

“Yes.” Someone nodded next to him. The Crimson Dragon Emperor, who stood behind him, was deep in his thoughts. Ye Futian had done a lot already. For the people of the Lower Worlds, he almost wiped out the cultivators from a superpower in the Dark World. If it were not for the arrival of the Infernal King at the last minute, these invaders would probably die right here.

However, this time their opponent was the Dark World, and the strength of the Original Realm was still lesser. If their opponent unified and combined all the forces of the Dark World, it would not be something that the Original Realm or their ally could hope to contend.

“The Heavenly Mandate Academy is still not strong enough,” Ye Futian said in a low voice, looking at the carnage that was left behind. He felt sorry that he was unable to detain the guilty party successfully.

At present, the strength of the Heavenly Mandate Academy was not enough to protect the 3,000 Realms of the Great Path and save it from catastrophes.

“This is not something that can be changed overnight. After all, the Dark Court itself had gotten involved,” said the Sky River Great Elder, who was next to him. “What’s more, the young man called the Infernal King Uncle Master, so they must have some special relationship. If you want war, Heavenly Mandate Academy has to face the Dark World. Although the Academy is much stronger today, it has no way to compete with the Dark World and the power hidden within its shadows.”

Ye Futian certainly understood that the Dark World was a force comparable to that of Divine Prefecture, and how strong was the Divine Prefecture?

In the land of the 18 domains, the power of any one domain was already extraordinary enough. The sum of all eighteen domains would be beyond even the wildest imagination. With the power of the imperial palace to boot, it was something terrifying.

More recently, the Heavenly Mandate Academy’s foundation was bolstered by the cultivators from Ziwei Segmentum. Otherwise, even if all the top forces in the Original Realm were to unite, the Heavenly Mandate Academy would not be taken seriously by anyone.

“If we want to contend with the Dark World, we have to join forces with the Divine Prefecture.” Emperor Nan said, “It’s just that each of the forces in the Divine Prefecture has their own ideas and issues, and they divided by many internal disputes. When many forces fought against you and tried to unite Divine Prefecture, we saw how difficult it was. But, perhaps we can start with some of the forces and convince them to develop an alliance with Heavenly Mandate Academy first.”

“I understand.” Ye Futian nodded. He understood what Emperor Nan meant. In that battle once upon a time, several major principalities stood by his side, such as Lord Luo from Outer Violet Heaven and the Sword Goddess from the Divine Palace of Fluttering Snow in the Donghua Domain. These forces had remained friendly with him after the battle and might enter the starry cultivation court in Ziwei Segmentum by way of Heavenly Mandate Academy at any time.

“Princess Donghuang is ​​already in the Lower Worlds. She should have the ability to clean up and consolidate the powers in the Divine Prefecture,” said Ye Futian.

“The Divine Prefecture is a little different. Except for the Domain Chief’s Manor of the 18 domains, the imperial palace does not directly control the top principalities of the Divine Prefecture. Unless there is a real chance for war, the imperial palace probably will not order them to do anything,” Emperor Nan responded.

“That’s true enough,” Ye Futian responded. He had fallen into contemplation. In the land of the 18 domains, each Domain Chief’s Manor held great influence. However, when it came to forging a relationship with the Donghua Domain and the Shangqing Domain—the two domains he had personal experience with—his relationship with these two Domain Chief’s Manors was not excellent.

The Domain Chief’s Manor in the Donghua Domain wanted to get rid of him for a long time now, and the Domain Chief’s Manor in the Shangqing Domain wanted to control him.

“Let’s go back first,” Ye Futian proposed, and everyone nodded in agreement. There was no sense for them to stay here after the cultivators of this world had left.

Then, the group levitated in the air to depart. In the void, Ye Futian looked down to survey the destruction of the realm, which fed the murderous intent that was still blazing in his heart as his eyes drifted somewhere far away.

Emperor Nan’s words reminded him that he really must strengthen the power of the Original Realm!
