The Legend of Futian

Chapter 2578: The Second Tribulation

Ye Futian looked toward the others; they could even see the smile in his eyes gleaming like the stars.

28 years ago, the divine prefecture alliance charged in with Tianyan City. They came with the Imperial Arm in an attempt to wipe out the Ziwei Segmentum, which was the great tribulation that the Ziwei Segmentum had met.

Now, 28 years had passed. They had overcome this tribulation. They did it.

Today, they could finally be considered to have won this war.

From today onward, the people who should panic weren’t the Ziwei Segmentum anymore, and it was the powers of the Divine Prefecture.

“Welcome back, Palace Lord,” Lord Chen bowed and greeted Ye Futian.

“Welcome back, Palace Lord.”

“…”

The cultivators bowed and greeted Ye Futian one after another. Even the powerful cultivators previously from the Ziwei Segmentum Imperial Palace revered and submitted themselves to Ye Futian now. Just moments ago, they saw the manifestation of Ziwei the Great.

Ye Futian was the true heir of Ziwei the Great. He fought the Divine Prefecture all alone with his power and saved the Ziwei Segmneutm. He had awoken the will of the Great Emperor and obliterated the Imperial Arm.

At this moment, countless cultivators were cheering in the Ziwei Segmentum. They bowed and prayed to the celestial skies. Ziwei the Great had manifested himself and descended upon this world to resolve the crisis. He had destroyed the menace that hovered above their heads. It was a threat that lasted for 28 whole years.

Now, it had finally dissipated.

“Thank you for your hard work through all these years,” Ye Futian said with a smile. For 28 years, his consciousness had fused into the celestial skies, and his spiritual soul had also fused into the stars above. His life no longer just belonged to him.

He actually saw everything inside the Ziwei Segmentum. As for everyone who arrived here, every word that they spoke, he heard all of it; he couldn’t respond to them.

But he saw all of it with his own eyes.

“Don’t worry about it, Palace Lord. You’ve stopped the Imperial Arm all by yourself to protect the Ziwei Segmentum. How can we be considered the ones who put in the hard work?” Lord Chen said.

“For 28 years, I borrowed the will of the Great Emperor to block the Imperial Arm, but all of you were also working hard for the development of the Imperial Palace. Throughout the years, the Imperial Palace was continuously getting stronger. I saw it all.” Ye Futian smiled at all of the familiar faces. Many of their cultivation levels had become stronger, and it wasn’t by a small margin.

Without looking at the others, his four students from the Four Corner Village were all peak-renhuang plane today, no exceptions. And their cultivation levels were probably extremely stable, allowing them to try breaking through to the plane above Renhuang.

The others were all similar, everyone had improved.

Compared to 28 years ago, this could be considered a metamorphosis. The overall strength and power of the Ziwei Imperial Palace were not even on the same level as it was before. Now, he was the only lagging behind.

“Palace Lord, please return to the Ziwei Imperial Palace,” Lord Chen said. He wanted to invite Ye Futian back to Ziwei. Inside the Imperial Palace, there were still many others waiting for Ye Futian.

“No hurry,” Ye Futian said, which caused a slightly astounded expression to appear on Lord Chen’s face. He asked curiously, “Anything else that the Palace Lord wants to do?”

“Well, actually not really,” Ye Futian shook his head, “It’s just that none of you could communicate with me for the past 28 years. But actually, I have never stopped cultivating for the past 28 years, including the past few years. The awakening of the will of the Great Emperor this time is the result of my efforts in recent years. Now, I need to cultivate alone for some time to better see the changes that occurred within me.”

Lord Chen and the others’ eyes all gleamed with excitement. Ye Futian’s words were a pleasant surprise to them.

He didn’t waste the past 28 years either; he had been cultivating and improving himself as well. Since Ye Futian had asked to cultivate alone, that must mean that he had some sort of epiphany.

Could it be…

How powerful would Ye Futian be if he went one step further?

They were all looking forward to it.

“You guys go back to the Imperial Palace first,” Ye Futian said.

“Yes, Palace Lord. We’ll prepare the banquet at the Imperial Palace and wait for you to come back and celebrate your return.” Lord Chen smiled. Now that they had overcome the crisis, everyone felt rather happy and relaxed.

“Alright,” Ye Futian nodded. Lord Chen immediately brought the others with him and left the place.

“Master, please come back earlier to see us,” Little Ling called out to him. She was really looking forward to meeting her master and talking to him, but she didn’t expect that Ye Futian would immediately get busy with cultivation. They had no other choice but to leave with Lord Chen and the others.

Soon, everyone left the place, except for Hua Jieyu, who still accompanied Ye Futian.

“Let’s go.” The two exchanged glances then launched into the air. They actually went toward the outside of the Ziwei Segmentum, entering the boundless void above it.

Inside the boundless void, Ye Futian sat in a cross-legged stance and started to view himself internally. Inside his Life Palace, the World Tree stood stall. There was only one tree in the entire world, but possessing this tree was like possessing everything in existence. It evolved into the sun, the moon, the stars, the wind, the water, and lightning, all inside the Life Palace.

With a turn of his mind, it was as though the entirety of Ye Futian’s being had turned into a divine tree. His body was the trunk of the divine tree. In this boundless void, the stars of the skies appeared. These celestial entities were like the fruits borne by the divine tree.

The divine tree morphed into his path. It formed its own space and was capable of forming its own dominion.

Furthermore, the power of this path was clearly stronger than before. Throughout these years, he had devoured the powers of the celestial stars and the power of the Great Path inside the Heaven Tempering Enumeration. He kept strengthening himself and had never stopped cultivating.

A terrifying aura started to appear in the world around him. In the vast, boundless void, it seemed that it had suddenly been visited by waves of obliterating power.

An expression of astonishment appeared on Ye Futian’s face. He raised his head and looked at the sky and earth around him.

Tribulation!

He didn’t break through his plane, but he had to overcome another tribulation.

Hua Jieyu’s pretty eyes looked toward Ye Futian, but she wasn’t puzzled. She knew that since the first time Ye Futian overcame the tribulation back then, he had entered a different path from the rest. He was different from the other cultivators.

He had always been at the Renhuang Plane and had never broken through it.

That was the case back when he first overcame the Divine Tribulation of the Great Path. After he had overcome the tribulation, he was somehow still peak-renhuang level.

Now, he actually instigated the second tribulation, and he still didn’t show any sign of breaking through his current plane. He was still a Renhuang, but he was becoming more and more perfect and certainly stronger.

Booooom… Terrifying lights of the tribulation converged and arrived. Ye Futian stood that with divine lights circling his body, preparing himself to deal with another Divine Tribulation of the Great Path. His tribulation was different from the other powerful cultivators.

However, it was time for another round of tempering of his Divine Body of the Great Path.

…

Rewind to the time before Ye Futian faced another Divine Tribulation fo the Great Path—back when he broke open the seal of the Ziwei Segmentum and destroyed the Imperial Arm.

Divine Prefecture, at a palace inside the Tianyan City Lord’s Office. Wang Xiao, who was in the middle of cultivation, let out a muffled groan as his face turned pale. He seemed to have sensed something. He raised his head to look up above the sky. It was as though his gaze had pierced through the vast space, and he saw the obliteration of the Imperial Arm.

A terrifying pulsating aura erupted from him, and then his figure directly appeared in the air above the Tianyan City Lord’s office. His face was as pale as a sheet of paper.

“How could this happen!” Blood seeped out from the corner of Wang Xiao’s mouth as an expression of utter disbelief appeared in his eyes!
