The Legend of Futian

Chapter 2646: The Same Ability

Were they going to leave just like this?

Ye Futian looked at them and asked, “You don’t plan on continuing to cultivate here?”

“We’ve seen everything already. There is no need,” the other man responded as he stepped into the void, getting ready to leave.

Above the firmament, an extremely terrifying coercion hovered in the area just in front of them, directly enshrouding their opponents within.

These two heavenly king guardians and the heir of the heavens must have been some of the most enchanting figures in the world. And their status may be equivalent to that of Donghuang Diyuan in the Divine Prefecture. Ye Futian was rather curious to see how strong they actually were!

Having perceived this power, the other man turned around to face Ye Futian and saw him step forward. The divine might bloomed in full force, and all the Buddhas in the heavens appeared once again as if to repeat the attack that took place just moments ago.

All the Buddhas resonated in an unparallel and overbearing manner. Both the Pagoda King and Melody King looked very solemn as they fixed their eyes on Ye Futian. Meanwhile, the young man was facing forward as an invisible sword intent erupted from him, tearing through the space.

All the Buddhas in the heavens raised their hands simultaneously as the Sound of Buddha continued to linger, resounding through the void. Another giant Buddha appeared. Its might was pressing down from above, and it was the All Heaven Buddha’s Seal. The two heavenly kings could not stop this attack before, and there was no telling if the heir of the Heaven Realm would do any better.

Countless giant palm prints fell down, aiming at the opponent. At the same time, with his body as the center, an incomparable sword intent manifested around the other man. Numerous brilliant golden divine swords appeared between heaven and earth, cutting through the void.

The divine sword was gathered together by countless runes, like a punishment from heaven. It was extremely horrific. It shot out madly toward those giant palm prints and collided with them. They crashed and shattered. It was a most terrifying scene to behold.

There was a strange look in Ye Futian’s eyes, accompanied by the palm of All Heaven Buddha’s Seal. He looked at the other, rather shocked. A radiant divine sword converged and collided with the great palm print of the All Heaven Buddha’s Seal.

Within that Great Path domain, all the great paths were now collapsing as a terrifying storm ravaged the space. Palm prints and swordsmanship clashed, turning into currents of destruction, then gradually dissipated.

The young man gave one look at Ye Futian and said, “Not bad.”

After that, he turned to leave. The two heavenly kings also gave a look at Ye Futian, then went with the young man as well.

Ye Futian did not pursue them this time but frowned. There was an uncertain look on his face, and a disturbance took hold of his heart.

He had seen this young man’s attack before; it had been unleashed by Donghuang Diyuan.

His own swordsmanship, Tianzhu, was inspired by the swordsmanship used by Donghuang Diyuan.

Heaven Punishing Divine Sword!

Now he found out the heir of the Heaven Realm possessed the same abilities as Donghuang Diyuan, and it was the divine method that must have been passed on to Donghuang Diyuan by Donghuang the Great.

So, why would the heir of Heaven Realm inherit the divine method of Donghuang the Great?

What was the relationship between the Heaven Realm and Donghuang the Great?

This caused Ye Futian to fall into deep contemplation. Could there be some connection behind all this?

If there was some connection, wouldn’t that suggest a relationship between Donghuang the Great and the Heaven Realm?

Of course, there was another possibility. If Donghuang the Great, by chance, had cultivated a method that originated from the Heaven Realm and passed it on to Donghuang Diyuan, then it could explain why Donghuang Diyuan and the heir of the Heaven Realm were experts in the Heaven Punishment Divine Sword.

After the others left, Lord Chen and Gu Dongliu walked next to Ye Futian. Together, they looked at those departing figures in the distance.

“These men are very powerful, especially that young man who was able to take the blow from the Palace Lord,” Lord Chen commented. Before Ye Futian arrived, he had a brief exchange with them. He was simply unable to face three such giants, so he did not force the fight.

Were they from Heaven Realm?

“His strength is no less than mine,” Ye Futian replied. The blow he dealt just now was equally matched, and he had a feeling that the other man could be stronger. The young man’s strength was not less than Donghuang Diyuan’s; it certainly would not be any less than Ye Futian’s.

“It seems that in these troubled times, more and more magnificent figures will begin to show themselves. This world is very big, and I am afraid that there are top figures whom we have not yet been made aware of,” Ye Futian whispered.

“This man came from the Heaven Realm, and the fact that the heavenly kings acted as his protectors all but confirms his status. The Heaven Realm may be in decline, but in the seven realms of the world, the Heavenly Emperor was once a man of might. It is not surprising that there is such an existence.” Gu Dong Liu said next to him, “However, this level of existence is rare in the world, and there were very few of them. There is no need for junior brother to belittle yourself. Any cultivator who can fight against you is probably a genius talent who is already standing at the very top of this world.”

“How many mighty figures are there from times immemorial until now? The world has been peaceful for hundreds of years. In the battles that took place hundreds of years ago, many have fallen, but what about those top cultivators who survived? All of them are blessed with long lives, and they will not die of old age. They may be cultivating in the shadows as we speak.” Ye Futian continued, “I have a feeling that in troubling times, those influential figures will reappear in the world once again.”

Now that, Tianyan the Great had returned to them using Wang Xiao’s body. With the heir of the Heaven Realm and heavenly kings who just made their presence known one after the other, this was a sure sign.

The top figures of the world would emerge one after another.

Before, in that war in the Divine Prefecture, he had seen many powerful people.

“Even so, junior brother, you will still be at the top. Only in an era when all the stars are shining can you create an unparalleled legend.” Naturally, Gu Dongliu trusted Ye Futian and believed that he would climb to the top of the world eventually.

“It’s the same with you, third senior brother. We will all reach the top together,” Ye Futian replied with a smile. This was the collective wish of the disciples from the Cottage.

In the future, they would have to take a trip to Donghuang Imperial Palace and discuss with Mr. Du how to change this world of cultivation.

“Let’s go back,” Ye Futian said. Although the cultivators from the Heaven Realm were discourteous, they did not hurt anyone, as they exercised great restraint. Otherwise, with the strength of all three cultivators from the Heaven Realm, the cultivators stationed here would be easily obliterated.

Moreover, they had only comprehended for a bit before leaving on their initiative, without any intention of taking anything with them. They really only just wanted to come here to comprehend the relics of the great emperors and use them for cultivating. They were only here for cultivation.

The young man was extremely proud, probably because he wanted to visit the relics of the great emperors. Back then, he had gone deep into the center of the Shadow Realm and felt the power of the Yin firsthand.

The time since that event spanned several decades. Over the years, he must have traveled to many places and comprehended many extraordinary relics.

Would Heaven Realm be a friend or foe in the future?

Or rather, there was no such thing as friend or foe, to begin with. Take the Dark World and the Empty Divine Realm, for example: were they friend or foe?

The Divine Prefecture—friend or a foe?

Depending on the time, their role would certainly change as well.

Between him and a certain principality in the Dark World, there was still some unfinished business.

Even the Divine Prefecture and Ye Futian had not always been enemies either.

No one knew what the future held.

Ye Futian left to return to the Ziwei Imperial Palace to cultivate, focusing on continuing to improve his own strength.

Only by becoming a Great Emperor could he possibly be qualified to determine the way of the world. Today, in the eyes of the six existing Great Emperors, he remained someone hardly worthy of their attention.

…

In the Divine Prefecture, after the battle with Ye Futian, both sides had entered into a truce, and a period of considerable peace ensued.

It was said that Donghuang the Great had dispatched envoys to negotiate with the three Realms of the Devil World.

This war had taken place in the North Cliff Region of the Divine Prefecture. Thus, the North Cliff Region had suffered the most, having lost countless innocent lives.

The cultivators of Tianyan City left the battlefield as well and returned to Tianyan City.

At this moment, somewhere inside the City Lord’s Office of Tianyan City, Wang Xiao was sitting cross-legged, cultivating in a terrifying divine matrix. Divine flames surrounded his body, tempering it.

At this moment, Wang Xiao suddenly opened his eyes, and a terrifying pair of eyes penetrated everything he gazed at in front of him. Over there, a cultivator appeared, and it was none other than the City Lord of Tianyan.

The City Lord of Tianyan felt a sting in his eyes. From Wang Xiao’s eyes, he felt a most overbearing look of contempt, which made his heart tremble to no end.

“You felt it too?” Wang Xiao asked. He could sense the presence of the other, as he had looked in on him several times already. That, and based on some of their previous conversations, he knew that the other had put two and two together.

“You are not Wang Xiao,” the City Lord of Tianyan said. His heart was beating wildly. Even a top figure like himself was feeling a little nervous at this moment.

He knew Wang Xiao too well. He had raised Wang Xiao, and he was familiar with Wang Xiao’s every movement. Even if the other had deliberately put up a show in front of him, he couldn’t be fooled. Some things couldn’t be disguised, such as that unmistakable haughtiness that seeped right from his core.

That was something Wang Xiao did not have.

Wang Xiao sat there, staring at the City Lord of Tianyan. “You can’t guess who I am?”

When he spoke, a terrifying imperial might came down and enveloped the great hall so that the City Lord of Tianyan felt suffocated. Meanwhile, his heart was beating so hard it almost jumped out of his chest.

“Or, should I say that you are unhappy because it’s me?”

“I dare not.” The City Lord of Tianyan bowed most respectfully in response. Under that mighty pressure, he had no choice but to prostrate and kneel on the ground, saying, “Greetings to our most high ancestor.”

His voice trembled slightly. His attitude was respectful and extremely pious.

Although he was a bit sad because of Wang Xiao’s death, a trace of hatred lingered. After all, that was his beloved grandchild.

But soon, another overwhelming emotion was emerging. Their ancestor Tianyan the Great had been reborn and returned to them once again.

For Tianyan City, Tianyan the Great was far more important than Wang Xiao.

All his high hopes for Wang Xiao were nothing more than for him to become a great emperor one day himself and lead Tianyan City to glory.

Now that the Great Emperor had returned, Tianyan City’s former glory would be restored soon enough.

Furthermore, everything that Tianyan the Great could give to the family was far beyond what Wang Xiao ever could. One day, when the Great Emperor had restored his peak strength, perhaps he could even dominate and rule the seven realms.

How could he not be emotional?

“Get up.” Tianyan the Great remarked nonchalantly, “You are one of us, part of the Wang family. You don’t need to grovel like this. To everyone else, I am still Wang Xiao, and you, the City Lord of Tianyan.”

“I understand,” the City Lord of Tianyan nodded.

“Mmm,” Tianyan the Great nodded, but the City Lord of Tianyan was still standing in place, which prompted him to ask, “Is there something else?”

“Sir, regarding Ye Futian and the Ziwei Segmentum…” Even with the return of the Great Emperor, he was still thinking of Ye Futian. His hatred for Ye Futian was plain enough.

“I will deal with him,” Tianyan the Great responded lightly. Currently, it was not convenient for him to venture out. After cultivating for another period of time, he could then announce to the outside that his realm had been elevated and that his strength had greatly improved.

At that time, there was nothing to stop the destruction of the Ziwei Segmentum!
