Chapter 2398: Fang Ru
What was happening shocked everyone watching. Ye Futian had leveraged the power of the starry sky to fight, and all the stars in the heavens seemed to be under his direct command. The will of the Great Emperor was his will.
Ye Futian had inherited the will of Ziwei the Great in the Starry Cultivation Court back then and had completely integrated with the will of the Great Emperor.
The Spear Emperor, Du You, and the divine general of Divine Prefecture Imperial Palace were blasted beneath the ground by the starlight summoned by Ye Futian, who didn’t even move. Under this segmentum, it seemed that he was the master of this universe, and no one could usurp his authority.
‘This is crazy,’ many thought. In the distance, people from the top principalities in the Divine Prefecture were watching in awe. In one direction, where the cultivators from Donghua Domain Chief’s Manor had congregated, Ning Yuan’s eyes swept through the space and zoomed in on Ye Futian. For him to have declared war on the Imperial Palace, Ye Futian had now burned many bridges and dug his own grave.
So what if he was in charge of this segmentum? The entity in front of him was no longer just the top power of the Divine Prefecture but the principality that dominated and ruled all of the Divine Prefecture.
The will of Ziwei the Great might be strong, but he was a fallen Great Emperor, after all. Now, only Donghuang the Great was the Ruler of all of the Divine Prefecture.
Those divine generals in the void were brilliant with divine lights shining on their bodies, and a terrifying aura descended. Those sharp gazes were directed at Ye Futian, but they made no move against him. Du You had been suppressed by a single blow, and they didn’t think they would fare any better than him. The same fate would probably befall them as well.
In this world, perhaps only the cultivators at the very top had the ability to deal with Ye Futian.
The people from the Heavenly Mandate Academy didn’t feel elated when they saw the sight before them. On the contrary, they felt a sense of profound sorrow. Gu Dongliu had been cultivating and improving his cultivation in the Starry Cultivation Court in the days past, but he was still powerless when faced with today’s situation.
Once upon a time, their teacher Mr. Du had been taken away in this manner. Now, facing these principalities of the Divine Prefecture, his junior brother had the power to battle them, and he was bold enough to resist. This was nothing less than open defiance against the authority of the gods.
If their teacher had known that their little junior brother had progressed to this stage, he would probably be incredibly pleased. The Imperial Palace, on the other hand, would probably put an end to this. And when he thought about that, he couldn’t help but felt a deep sadness.
Once, he had thought that they would have victory over all of their opponents, no matter who they were, as long as they were given the luxury of time. But what about the likes of Donghuang the Great?
There was only desperation now. No matter how long they were given, they could only revere that which was the legend of the world.
“Your Royal Highness, I don’t want to fight, but it seems that I don’t have a choice.” Ye Futian levitated above the temple and said to Princess Donghuang, “Whatever happens today, no matter the outcome, I am responsible for my actions. I hope that it will not affect anybody else.”
“Very well.” Princess Donghuang looked at Ye Futian’s and agreed to his request.
“Thank you very much.” Ye Futian nodded slightly.
Hearing what Ye Futian had to say, the cultivators from Ziwei Imperial Palace and the Heavenly Mandate Academy sighed. If something were to happen to Ye Futian, could Ziwei Imperial Palace and the Heavenly Mandate Academy be able to survive in this troubled world?
Today’s world was in utter chaos. With all these worlds upon them, there was no telling how many of them had set their eyes on the Starry Cultivation Court in Ziwei Imperial Palace.
Once Ye Futian was no more, the alliance between the Heavenly Mandate Academy, Ziwei Segmentum, and the Lost Clan would very likely disintegrate as well. Then, it would spell nothing but pure disaster for all of them.
These several great forces could connect and remain stable in these troubled times because Ye Futian had played a decisive role.
“Take him,” Princess Donghuang spat with a measurable coldness. Immediately behind her, several extremely powerful beings stepped forward. The auras upon them were quite astonishing. With all the worlds coming, the forces representing the Divine Prefecture were also much more substantial this time. After all, the Original Realm was part of the Divine Prefecture.
Ye Futian perceived those horrific auras and wondered, how many powerful characters like these were there inside the Imperial Palace of the Divine Prefecture?
A ray of light illuminated Ye Futian, and in the next moment, his figure disappeared from right where he was standing. Many looked up in the sky and saw Ye Futian’s figure appeared above the firmament. He seemed to have integrated into the starry sky world as an unparalleled figure appeared behind him. It was the phantom of Ziwei the Great.
The authority of heaven descended, and the horror in the atmosphere reached the peak as the coercion now overwhelmed the entire Ziwei Segmentum.
At this moment, in the Ziwei Segmentum, as well as the many starry worlds, countless creatures raised their heads to look into the firmament. They had felt that heavenly might, and with a tremendous shock. They were wondering, what was happening?
“Your Royal Highness, let me reiterate that I have no intention of fighting with the Imperial Palace. However, if the princess refuses to let the matter go, I would fight using the starry sky. Your Royal Highness should know that the previous princess of Ziwei Imperial Palace perished under the starry sky.” Above the firmament, a voice was heard, full of a supreme godly might.
Once, the previous palace lord of Ziwei Imperial Palace had intended on seizing the will of the Great Emperor and had been killed on the spot by Ye Futian, using the will of the Great Emperor. Afterward, Ye Futian inherited the position as the Palace Lord of the Imperial Palace. This event was witnessed by many cultivators in the Divine Prefecture; the Imperial Palace should have heard something about that as well.
If Ye Futian could fight by leveraging the will of Ziwei the Great, the strength he exerted would be the same as it was then. Perhaps, under the prowess of a Great Emperor, no one would be able to compete with him.
No wonder Ye Futian was so confident that he asked Yu Sheng and the others to stand down.
Under this starry sky, unless it was Donghuang the Great himself who was here, Ye Futian had no fear of anyone.
Under the starry sky, the cultivators from the Imperial Palace were a little hesitant. They did not expect that in the land of the Original Realm, they would be hindered by a Renhuang of the Seventh-Realm.
At this time, a man who had been standing there quietly now walked out from behind Princess Donghuang. He was wearing a cape with a hood on his head, and now he took off the hood as he raised his head slightly to look up into the space high above.
It was a middle-aged man who looked to be no more than 40. He had an elegant and scholarly temperament. There did not seem to be any aggression from him. Instead, he appeared aloof and detached. Previously, he stood quietly behind the Princess just like everybody else from the Divine Prefecture, inconspicuous and easily looked over.
But the moment he walked out and stood under the starry sky, everyone could feel the exceptional temperament about him. He stood there as if he was the master of this world.
“Who is he?”
Many Renhuang from Divine Prefecture did not recognize this man, but some top figures in the other worlds had made out who this elegant and erudite person was. They were amazed that he was the one who had been protecting Princess Donghuang.
Behind Yu Sheng, Old Demon Tuntian saw the middle-aged man and whispered, “Fang Ru.” This was a contemporaneous existence of his, in an era when even Donghuang the Great was an unknown.
“Who is he?” Yu Sheng asked Old Demon Tuntian, clearly feeling the importance of the man from the expression in Old Demon Tuntian’s eyes.
“Thousands of years would have taken his cultivation to the peak just below the Great Emperor. He is an existence known to have the most probability of impacting the Imperial Realm. Now that many years had passed, he is probably infinitely closer to that realm except for the shackle of the Heavenly Path,” Old Demon Tuntian explained.
