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

Raising his head, Ye Futian stared at Supreme Heavenly King, who walked out from the sky stairwell.

What would Ye Futian fight him with?

“You will know once you have a taste of my attacks,” Ye Futian replied.

Supreme Heavenly King glared at Ye Futian as he took a step forward. At once, a godly might was unleashed from his form, and a bizarre phenomenon took place in the sky. An isolated dimension was formed above the latter’s head. A pantheon of gods was looking at the ground condescendingly from a high altitude, releasing the pressure of their might.

Every figure of the gods was diffusing an intimidating aura. Echoes of their voices were heard throughout the void as if they were roaring. Many cultivators on the ground felt feeble as they took in the scenery before their eyes. They could feel their hearts pounding frantically in their chests as they thought the might of the gods suppressing them, causing them to feel hopeless and have the urge to prostrate themselves to worship the deities in the sky.

The entourage of gods was surrounding the paramount of the Four Heavenly Kings in Heaven Realm, Supreme Heavenly King.

Ye Futian seemed minuscule within the Supreme Domain. Although alone, the Divine Light of the Great Path flowed around him, with his body as the center. It formed a rule unconstrained by any suppressions of the Great Paths in the world. Thus, he would not fall on his knees and worship the Gods.

Raising his head, Ye Futian looked into the void where the overwhelming Supreme Domain extended its influence. He was rooted to the spot and would not incline his body even if the sky were to fall on him.

“Hmm?”

The cultivators at the scene were staring at Ye Futian, who stood unwaveringly in the face of Supreme Heavenly King, a Near-Deity Plane cultivator. A hint of astonishment flashed across their eyes when they noticed the Great Path Domain became a separate entity around Ye Futian’s body as if it was the Path of his own.

Ye Futian was on his way to become a Near-Deity Plane cultivator, and he had arrived before the threshold of the next tier.

A deep, rumbling sound came from above Ye Futian’s head, whereby a humongous countenance that belonged to a God could be seen in the void. Up there, the phantoms of the Gods gathered in a place and directed the Gods’ Might at the enormous face. They would then let out a low-pitched roar toward Ye Futian and turn it into the Authority of Heaven.

Within seconds, a storm hit the entire vast atmosphere of the domain. Upon seeing that, countless cultivators unleashed the Force of the Great Path to defend themselves from the Authority of Heaven. Even so, a great many of them could not hold their own against the violent storm. Hence, the kind of pressure Ye Futian, who stood at the center of the Storm of the Great Path, was facing was unimaginable.

He stood firmly on the same spot. The Divine Light circulated his entire body without being affected by the surrounding in the slightest.

Clash!

A loud boom filled the air—one sounded like a thunderclap. It impaired the hearing of numerous cultivators, whose spiritual souls were also shaken tremendously. The next moment, a massive palm could be seen falling from the firmament, directed at where Ye Futian stood. It looked like a Giant Palm of Tianshen that attempted to annihilate everything on the ground underneath the sky.

Before the enormous palm reached the land, a loud rumble could be heard from above everyone’s head ceaselessly. Meanwhile, cracks began to appear on the ground as the terrifying noise caused by the repercussion of the falling palm was heard. The force of the fast-approaching palm was terrifyingly immense.

Supreme Heavenly King—the paramount of the Four Heavenly Kings—was known for his domineering demeanor and peerless strength. One of his disciples was even named Gaia Star Lord in Heaven Realm. Knowing just this, one could imagine how mighty he was.

Could Ye Futian parry such a powerful attack?

Ye Futian’s form seemed even smaller in the face of the imminent Supreme Great Palm of Tianshen. It wasn’t easy to make out his silhouette as he was covered by the palm. The Divine Light gleaming around his body helped the others to notice he was still standing.

Could he escape from the Giant Palm’s span with his Celerity?

Whoosh! At that moment, a magnificent Storm of Rule Power blew around Ye Futian. Immediately, a significant number of cultivators turned to look at him. The onlookers saw a breathtaking Divine Ruler in the middle of the gale.

The Divine Ruler was launched toward the menacing palm falling from the sky. Before they knew it, everyone caught sight of the Giant Palm being pierced through, and ruptures formed throughout the visible parts of it. Shortly after, the entire Supreme Great Palm shattered as a loud explosion was heard.

The intimidating aura disappeared as the storm slowly dissipated. Many cultivators gaped at Ye Futian in bewilderment. Their hearts were pounding like mad as they took in the sight of his silhouette.

The Supreme Great Palm of Tianshen was smashed to smithereens by a ruler.

Not only did Ye Futian not flee from the spot with his Celerity, but he even launched a counter-attack. The Divine Light everyone saw earlier was emitted from the ruler in his hand.

He had successfully crushed an attack by Near-Deity Plane cultivators. The power he exhibited earlier was comparable to that of Donghuang Diyuan, who borrowed the Power of the Ancestral Dragon.

“Is that an Imperial Arm?” Everyone set their eyes on the weapon in Ye Futian’s hand. There was a distinct aura around the Divine Ruler. However, it was not an Imperial Arm.

It’s a Divine Item. Countless cultivators thought to themselves. After scrutinizing, they concluded that it was indeed a Divine Item—one left behind by a God. Although it was not an Imperial Arm, it was still reasonably powerful.

“Hmm?”

One of the cultivators, who entered the Shrine of the Karura before, furrowed their brows.

“Back when I went to the Ruins of the Karura for cultivation, I had heard of the body of the Demonic Lord being sealed by the Divine Ruler,” a cultivator announced, staring at the ruler in Ye Futian’s hand. Upon hearing that, numerous people’s hearts skipped a beat. Still, plenty of cultivators were informed about the fact, especially those at the Emperor-level. These individuals got to know after exchanging information regarding their respective ruins.

To think that the Divine Ruler that sealed the Demonic Lord would be in Ye Futian’s possession!

“This was something that happened many years ago. At that time, a group of Devil World’s cultivators, who were heading toward brought him to the Mahoraga Tribe, brought him to the Ruin of the Demonic Lord. After that, the Divine Ruler was nowhere to be found. The Devil Imperial Palace’s cultivators also began their closed-door training.” At once, someone turned their eyes to a Demonic Cultivator, who was also among the crowd.

“Shouldn’t the Demonic Cultivators be well versed about this?” a person asked. Even the Emperor-level cultivators were very much interested in this topic. So they were focusing on the crowd as well.

How powerful would the Divine Ruler be if it could seal even the likes of the Devil Emperor?

“This is good stuff,” Supreme Heavenly King peered at Ye Futian and commented. If the Divine Ruler could seal the Demonic Lord as rumored, it was indeed worthy of the former’s time to take a good look at it.

Initially, they only launched the attack at Ye Futian to intimidate him. Its purpose was to shift the other cultivators’ focus from them so that the former would head toward the Ruins of the Mahoraga. Yet, it never crossed their minds that Ye Futian was carrying the Divine Ruler that once sealed the Demonic Lord with him.

If that were the bona fide Divine Ruler, things would get interesting.

“Hand it over!” Supreme Heavenly King commanded and lifted his hand. In a flash, the Giant Palm of Tianshen could be seen descending from the sky toward the location where Ye Futian stood, attempting to seize to Divine Ruler from him forcefully.

After enlarging the Divine Ruler, Ye Futian turned to look at the sky as he swung the weapon in his hand toward the Giant Palm that was fast approaching. And as expected, the Giant Palm was broken into pieces upon impact. It could not handle the attack by the Divine Ruler at all. Almost none of the Forces of the Great Path could be unscathed after being hit by it.

“What a unique Force of the Great Path,” someone commented while staring at the Divine Ruler that filled with unparalleled energy.

Thump!

A spine-chilling aura filled the atmosphere of the domain following the booming noise. After lifting their heads, everyone saw Supreme Heavenly King chanting runes to form a spell. Simultaneously, the Might of the Gods gradually became more overwhelming in the sky. Without delay, the Gods could be seen levitating at 36 different locations and remained there.

“Let’s get out of here.” Most of the crowds retreated, attempting to flee from this blood-curdling domain. However, they realized that they could not leave the domain the 36 Gods had covered with their power. The onlookers could only unleash the Forces of the Great Path to defend themselves as they were left without a choice.

As Xi Chiyao swung her Raindrop Divine Sword, rain fell in the area where the Ziwei Imperial Palace group stood, covering the entire space like the aftermath of an attack.

After creating a resonance, the Gods in the sky effused a Supreme God’s Might, turning it into a domain that isolated the entire space within from the outside. On the other hand, Supreme Heavenly King remained high up, lowering his head to gaze at Ye Futian condescendingly. He did not stop incanting the runes. The Divine Sound he produced was brimmed with God’s Might, which was unbearable to the ears.

Ye Futian tossed the Divine Ruler in his hand upward, and it hovered above his head. All of a sudden, a terrifying domain manifested with his body as the pivot. It began discharging Divine Light, and countless silhouettes of the ruler sprung up around him. It looked like the number of rulers increased.

Swoosh! The Divine Ruler emitted a brilliant Divine Light that beamed straight into the sky. Soon, it covered the entire domain within.

Upon seeing that, the Gods unleashed the Supreme Great Palm that caused the whole atmosphere to tremble and directed it at Ye Futian.

“Go!”

As Ye Futian spoke, the Divine Rulers around him broke the dimension barrier and disappeared into thin air.
