The Legend of Futian

Chapter 2397: Master of the Segmentum

Ye Futian’s reply silenced the space again. He had actually refused a request from Princess Donghuang, declining to follow the Princess to the Imperial Palace.

“It’s finished!”

In the area surrounding Ziwei Imperial Palace, those cultivators from the Divine Prefecture thought there would be no doubt about the impending conflict. Ye Futian’s refusal implied that he may indeed have other secrets and that the Imperial Palace would have no choice but to take action against him.

Sure enough, several cultivators stepped out from behind Princess Donghuang. One of them had a frightening aura. They were surrounded by divine light, and it was none other than Du You—the Spear Emperor. He was one of the direct disciples of Donghuang the Great, and Ye Futian had seen him in action before. He was exceptionally powerful.

Buzz! A Godly Spear appeared in his hand, puffing out a terrifying light, as he floated towards the temple where Ye Futian was.

Clearly, in the eyes of those from the Imperial Palace, Ye Futian’s refusal was equivalent to a crime against the Princess.

Princess Donghuang said nothing. She seemed to be silently condoning the Spear Emperor’s action. Behind her, a group of people floated forward, and all of them were releasing a powerful aura, oppressing the Ziwei Imperial Palace.

Ye Futian had the support of the cultivators from the Devil World behind him. If they were to join in, a battle would be inevitable.

Yu Sheng took a step forward, and the cultivators from the Devil World followed suit. But the eyes of Old Demon Tuntian sharpened. The Devil World had no right to meddle in the matter at hand. To confront the Imperial Palace of Divine Prefecture—in the land of the Original Realm no less—would be both disadvantageous and foolish.

This was really an internal matter within the Divine Prefecture.

“Apprehend him and take him away. Anyone who dares to interfere with the business of the Imperial Palace will be killed without exceptions!” A cold voice came out of a cultivator from the Imperial Palace. The person’s aura was beyond horrifying, and he was someone that Ye Futian had never seen before. He was a supreme cultivator who had survived the second Divine Tribulation of Great Path, a peak existence closest to the level of the Great Emperor.

Boom! A wave of demonic might erupted from Yu Sheng as dark demonic currents tossed and howled. Hs dark demonic eyes swept towards Princess Donghuang.

“Whoever dares touch him today will have to answer to me. As long as I live, anyone who touches him will die,” Yu Sheng proclaimed. His statement was a cause of concern for the cultivators from the Divine Prefecture. They frowned but did not stop what they were doing. Rays of divine light showered down to enveloped the temple below.

This sight was so familiar; Ye Futian felt like he had seen it all before.

This time, it was finally his turn. Was his fate the same as the Snow Ape Emperor or as his teacher, Mr. Du?

Battle to the death, or be taken away as a prisoner!

“Yu Sheng, stand down.”

What Ye Futian said took Yu Sheng by surprise. He turned around to look at Ye Futian. The demonic might roared upon him.

“Stand down,” Ye Futian looked at him and repeated himself calmly. If there were to be a fight, he rather let it just be him; there was no need to involve Yu Sheng.

“Here. Unless Donghuang the Great comes in person, it won’t be easy to take me away,” Ye Futian said matter-of-factly. Yu Sheng watched him and was silent for a few moments, then withdrew. The cultivators from the Devil World were still guarding close by. For cultivators from the Devil World, whether Ye Futian lived or died was not their concern.

Besides, they would really like to see the abilities of Yu Sheng’s brother.

After Yu Sheng and the others backed away, the light of the matrix above the temple lit up suddenly. Then, beams of divine light rushed into the sky, and high above the boundless sky. The scenery seemed to change as if it were being fast-forwarded. The clouds and winds were morphing and surging, akin to changes of nature. The sun and the moon moved in rapid succession, and with a single thought, night had fallen.

Above the firmament, a starry sky world came into being. Countless stars were shining like countless pairs of eyes. The starlight fell as if this was the real world—the real Ziwei Segmentum.

Starlight fell upon Ye Futian, making his long silvery hair appear even more luminous as he bathed in the divine light, standing quietly under the stars.

“I have never done any evil deeds to the Divine Prefecture, and I have always defended the Original Realm; I will not hesitate to fight for the Original Realm. So, if Your Royal Highness still insists on taking me away against my will, I will have no choice but to resist,” said Ye Futian.

Watching this exchange, people who were closest to the Heavenly Mandate Academy and to Ye Futian felt an immense sorrow in their hearts. Did it all come down to this?

They knew very well what would ensue following Ye Futian’s resistance and his declaration of war with the Imperial Palace.

This would push the situation to the point of no return.

Those principalities from the Divine Prefecture held grudges against Ye Futian. They smirked silently. This was no more than Ye Futian seeking his own death. If there were ever a chance for him to get out of this mess, he had completely squandered it by now. He was courting death.

Above the firmament, the Spear Emperor, Du You, and other cultivators from the Imperial Palace focused their attention on Ye Futian, who was below. Divine lights shone brightly upon them and yielded terribly sharp auras. The aura that hovered above the long spear in Du You’s hands was even more appalling. He looked at Ye Futian with a slight pity in his eyes.

Did this worm actually think that he could shake the tree?

Did Ye Futian really want to go to war with the Imperial Palace?

He took a step forward, and the long spear in his hand pierced straight down. Instantaneously, a long spear pierced through heaven and earth, descending from the void all the way down, slaughtering towards Ye Futian. It was as if this strike would traverse the void and take Ye Futian down.

Buzz!

However, at this moment, the boundless starlight above the void sprinkled down, and those lights fell directly in front of Ye Futian, where they turned into a starry light screen. The Spear Emperor’s long spear arrived and blasted right on the light screen, which blocked the attack. The light screen was so brilliant that it shut out all the attacks, ones that came from a peak Renhuang.

Ye Futian continued to stand there quietly and didn’t move a muscle. It was as if he had absolute confidence in himself.

An exceedingly horrific aura came down from the sky, causing the Spear Emperor to look slightly concerned. The starlight had illuminated the entire Ziwei Segmentum. He looked up at the firmament and saw that there was a heavenly might that was descending. The countless stars seemed to have transformed into a massive and boundless face, the face of a deity.

Ziwei the Great!

“This is the Starry Cultivation Court!” All the cultivators from Divine Prefecture looked up into the sky as if the world had now coincided with the world of the Starry Cultivation Court.

They looked quite surprised. Could it be that the entire Ziwei Segmentum was now shrouded by the will of the Great Emperor?

The starry sky world was the Ziwei Segmentum.

Ye Futian had inherited the will of Ziwei the Great and gained control over the starry sky world. He was able to awaken the will of Ziwei the Great, causing the change to occur in heaven and on earth as the heavenly bodies shifted.

In Ziwei Segmentum, Ye Futian was its true master.

Buzz! At this moment, a star above the sky lit up with horrific starlight. It was aimed directly at the Spear Emperor—Du You. Du You’s face altered a bit when he saw the extremely bright star release terrible starlight, heading right at him. It was an Imperial Star.

He raised the long spear in his hand and stepped into the void. As the long spear pierced forward, it spat out infinite divine light to counter the light that had descended from the starry sky.

When the two beams of light collided, the Spear Will was obliterated. That terrifying aura eradicated everything in its path as it continued down. The Spear Emperor was repelled by it. His body was knocked straight into the air.

Boom! His body fell hard on the ground, creating an opening in the ground. Du You’s body was nowhere to be found because it had been blasted deep into the ground.
