The Legend of Futian

Chapter 2629: The Reaper and the Favored Son of Tianyan

Ye Futian felt some conflict in his heart; he didn’t expect Qingyao to participate in the war. Yu Sheng, too, would inevitably participate in the war on behalf of the Devil World in the future.

His relationships with all these other realms were a little complicated. The Divine Prefecture, naturally, needed no more explanation; he had always belonged under the rule of the Divine Prefecture. As to the World of Buddhism, it was a place where he had gone to seek instruction and received a lot of teaching in return. At one point, he had even preached Buddhism, and Hua Qingqing had once accompanied The Buddha in cultivation as well. As far as the Devil World was concerned, Yu Sheng’s relationship with him needed no more description, and now, Ye Qingyao held a high position of power in the Dark World.

These relationships were now kind of a mess.

Ye Futian didn’t try to persuade anyone. Just as the Devil Emperor had said, everyone had their position to consider; he could not possibly control any of this. All he could do was tell Ye Qingyao, “Qingyao, if you are going to the Divine Prefecture to participate in the war, you must watch your back.”

The battle of the six realms would be unimaginably dangerous.

“I know,” Ye Qingyao nodded.

The three of them chatted a while longer before Ye Qingyao left. Soon after, someone below sent the news that Ye Qingyao had left Ziewei Segmentum with the cultivators from the Dark Court, presumably heading towards the Divine Prefecture.

“Old Ma.” In Ziwei Imperial Palace, Ye Futian summoned Old Ma.

Old Ma came over and waited on his orders.

“On my behalf, tell everyone to monitor the movements of the battlefield of the six realms in the Divine Prefecture and make reports regularly,” Ye Futian said. Before, he had been concentrating on cultivation and the development of Ziwei Segmentum’s prowess. However, as the war intensified, more and more cultivators were getting involved.

Ye Futian was now starting to pay close attention to this battle of the six realms.

“Very well,” Old Ma nodded, then left to prepare to send envoys to the North Cliff Region into the Divine Prefecture.

After Old Ma left, and Ye Futian continued to cultivate with his eyes closed. A few months later, a major event took place in Ziwei Segmentum. It was a major event that got everyone extremely excited.

Aside from Ye Futian, and after the Supreme Elder, Lord Chen, Ziwei Segmentum had produced yet another giant figure who had survived the Second Divine Tribulation of the Great Path.

More importantly, this person was none other than the lady of the palace, Hua Jieyu.

Decades had passed, and Hua Jieyu had finally taken this extremely critical step. Nowadays, Ye Futian had the combat power of three major giants.

Ye Futian, Lord Chen, and Hua Jieyu.

They had quite a few cultivators in the First Tribulation Plane already, such as Emperor Xi, Murong Yu, Taoist Monk Mu, Blind Tie, Gu Dongliu, Hua Qingqing, Chen Yi, Yang Wuqi, and Fang Cun.

Such a terrific group of people, no matter where they were, had to be first-rate. Aside from the inheritance of the great emperors, this cast might even be stronger than any Ancient God Clans in the Divine Prefecture.

Furthermore, now that Shenyi Continent was also part of the Ziwei Segmentum, there were many top cultivators.

If they were to be lumped together, the strength of the Ziwei Segmentum would indeed be even more astounding.

Naturally, everyone in the Ziwei Segmentum rejoiced after Hua Jieyu had survived the Second Divine Tribulation of the Great Path, but none of them were more pleased than Ye Futian.

The two of them, husband and wife, were now both giants. Ziwei’s strength was getting more spectacular.

But at this time, news came from the Divine Prefecture of the Upper Worlds that the battle of the six realms had grown more fierce.

A mysterious cultivator had emerged out of the Dark Court, known as The Reaper. Every time she appeared, she was hidden in a cloak, and no one had been able to see her true physical form or her face. But wherever she passed, living things died. If anyone so much as to stare her into her eyes, they would be eroded by death until they succumbed completely.

Any place that The Reaper had appeared, the Great Path dried up, and the spiritual energy between heaven and earth was exhausted. Everything turned into death and silence without the slightest hint of life. On the battlefield, unknown numbers of cultivators had died in her hands.

She had passed through some continents in the North Cliff Region, and wherever she passed, no life could exist. For a while, the people from the North Cliff Region fled frantically. Even those who couldn’t really escape tried and risked everything to run away.

They had no choice.

Staying behind was a dead end for them.

After Ye Futian had gotten the news, a shadow loomed over him.

Obviously, he knew who this mysterious Reaper was—Ye Qingyao.

He would have never expected that Ye Qingyao would achieve fame so quickly, almost as soon as she stepped into the battlefield, and in such a dramatic way, no less, to be known as The Reaper.

Once upon a time, she was just a sad little girl, abandoned by the world with no one to count on.

Ye Futian knew that Ye Qingyao had changed. She was no longer the same Ye Qingyao that she once was, but he didn’t expect the change to be so terribly drastic.

The Reaper had sent shockwaves through the Divine Prefecture. Soon after, the top cultivators of the three realms, the Divine Prefecture, the World of Buddhism, and the Human Realm, began their mission to hunt down the Reaper. At the same time, Donghuang Imperial Palace officially ordered all the top forces in Divine Prefecture to join the war. Anyone who could kill the Reaper from the Dark Court would receive a handsome reward and the opportunity to cultivate at the imperial palace, receiving instructions from Donghuang the Great himself.

Some principalities responded while some others chose to stonewall.

But at this time, a group of cultivators came from Tianyan City and officially stepped onto the battlefield. After they stepped into the battlefield, they bulldozed over many cultivators from the three major worlds who had invaded the Divine Prefecture with deadly force. They were undefeated wherever they went, and the deterrent power of one Ancient God Clan seemed to be even greater than Donghuang Imperial Palace.

And this was all because of one person.

The favored son of Tianyan City, the heir of Tianyan the Great, Wang Xiao.

For the first time since the several defeats that he suffered at the hands of Ye Futian, Wang Xiao appeared in front of the world once again and shocked them with his outstanding performance.

The Wang Xiao who appeared this time was more terrifying than ever and was way too frightening. One could say that he had completely transformed and become another person. Even the City Lord of Tianyan himself, if participating in the battle, would not be scarier than Wang Xiao.

Wang Xiao, as he appeared in front of the world, bathed in the armor of golden flames, holding Sky Tremoring, descended on the battlefield like a true deity. He was above everything, and no one could stop him. In this world, there were very few who could claim the ability to totally harness imperial arms.

Wang Xiao, in addition to his own terrifying strength, could control imperial arms.

For a time, the name of Wang Xiao from Tianyan City once again resounded throughout the world, suppressing even the fame of The Reaper. It was as if he wanted to end the battle of the six realms all by himself.

The news reached Ziwei Imperial Palace and into the ears of Ye Futian.

Qingyao had become The Reaper.

Wang Xiao, once again, exhibiting his unparalleled majesty to the world was something Ye Futian had not expected.

However, even though he quite despised Wang Xiao from their encounters before, it was a fact that Wang Xiao could control the imperial arms. If it weren’t for the protection of Ziwei the Great, Wang Xiao, as aided by imperial arms, was enough to sack Ziwei Segmentum.

“I am taking a trip to the outside,” Ye Futian’s said to Hua Jieyu.

“Where to?” Hua Jieyu asked.

“The Divine Prefecture,” Ye Futian said. “I want to go to the North Cliff Region to take a look.”

“I’ll go with you. Now that my cultivation has elevated, I won’t hold you back,” said Hua Jieyu.

“No.” Ye Futian shook his head instead and pinched Hua Jieyu’s cheek. He said with a smile, “That is a battlefield there. What will you do there? It’s easier for me to come and go without a trace by myself.”

“As you wish,” Hua Jieyu didn’t argue with him. If Ye Futian didn’t want her to go, then she wouldn’t go!
