Chapter 2615: So, You Think You Are Very Strong?
For the Holy Land of Taichu and the Celestial Worthy Mountain, both of these two major principalities had suffered the fate of extinction. The Sun God Mountain and the Shen Clan, too, were attacked, while the clan lord of Mo perished at the hands of Ye Futian.
In the battle at Tianyan City, Ye Futian had slaughtered many people as well.
The power of the six Ancient God Clans in the Original Realm had been greatly reduced. Ye Futian’s existence, indeed, had worried many authorities in the Divine Prefecture, and many cultivators had died at his hands.
However, should all these faults be attributed to Ye Futian?
Would Ye Futian think that he had done anything wrong?
If these people didn’t die, it would be the Heavenly Mandate Academy, Ziwei Segmentum, and himself that would have been destroyed.
“Wang Xiao of Tianyan City, with the help of the imperial arms, tried to sack Ziwei Segmentum, and many innocent people had perished because of it. Did Your Royal Highness ever say a word on behalf of those innocent people in Ziwei Segmentum?” Ye Futian looked at Donghuang Diyuan. His tone was slightly cool as he continued, “Heavenly Mandate City has been destroyed many times, and the same thing happened to the Nine Realms that preceded the Original Realm. How many people have died through no fault of their own? Has Your Royal Highness ever chastised the savage acts committed by the people of the Divine Prefecture?
“The Original Realm once belonged to the Divine Prefecture, but the Divine Prefecture had allowed the Nine Realms to be ravaged. They were incapable of stopping the invasion of the Dark World and the Empty Divine Realm. And I, as someone who was born in the Original Realm, have sentiment for the Original Realm that you cannot possibly understand. The Divine Prefecture cannot protect the Original Realm, so I can only do all I can possibly do. If the force of the Divine Prefecture intends to wreak havoc in the Original Realm, I will destroy them with certainty.” Ye Futian continued, “Years ago, the princess was kind to me and lent me an item to save my life. However, it was a reward for what I had done in the battle against the Dark Court and the Empty Divine Realm. In truth, I owe you nothing.”
“My father, on account of the past, spared you because the teacher had spoken on your behalf. However, it is not intended for you to cause chaos however you please.” Donghuang Diyuan did not seem to have heard a word that Ye Futian had said but continued to speak her thoughts: “You are now in charge of Ziwei Segmentum, protected by Ziwei so that the others could not invade. You ought to mind your own business and cultivate within your bounds.”
Ye Futian frowned. Was Donghuang Diyuan lecturing him?
“I am addressing you as ‘princess’ because of our history. The land of the Original Realm is no longer under the rule of the Divine Prefecture, and I am not your subordinate. What I have done is not for you to comment on,” Ye Futian replied indifferently. He thought he was giving her a way out, but Donghuang Diyuan didn’t seem to take the hint at all.
Her attitude was haughty, arrogant, and high-handed as if he was hers to command.
Donghuang Diyuan fixed her eyes on Ye Futian when she heard Ye Futian’s insolent retort. A breathtaking majesty surged from those unbelievably beautiful eyes, making those who beheld it to surrender involuntarily. She was the only princess in all of the Divine Prefecture, and a naturally powerful aura emerged from her. Ye Futian had seen it once when he was still a youth. Even if she was surrounded by all the divine generals of Divine Prefecture, she was the absolute undeniable center of attention.
At this moment, it was the first time Ye Futian was in such close contact with her and experienced that reality, which was becoming more and more evident. It was a majestic power that was meant to make everyone bow down at her feet, for she could only be revered.
However, Ye Futian was not someone who had not seen much of the world. He had his fair share of interactions with many great emperors. Moreover, he was now the Palace Lord of Ziwei Imperial Palace—the ruler of Ziwei Segmentum. He had killed many top cultivators himself, so how could he be easily unnerved by Donghuang Diyuan?
He stared right into the eyes of the other. His deep-set eyes were as bright as the stars. He and Donghuang Diyuan stared at one another. There was an invisible coercion that effused from him. His momentum was no less than hers.
The two sets of eyes challenged each other. Suddenly, Ye Futian heard the long cry of the most radiant phoenix divine bird and felt it rushed directly into his eyes. The phoenix divine bird was bathed in an extremely brilliant divine flames capable of incinerating one’s will and spiritual soul.
At the same time, the phoenix robe that was draped upon the body of Donghuang Diyuan seemed to be caught on fire, turning into golden feathers. An incredibly fiery and terrifying current swept out, and everything seemed to be on the verge of turning into dust and smoke.
At this moment, Ye Futian felt a strong sense of threat. A Buddha statue appeared in his mind, guarding and protecting his will from imminent destruction.
Buzz… An incomparably fiery current swept over, and it was the phoenix bathing in the divine flame. It did not appear to be an ordinary phoenix as each feather on its wing was a divine feather, burning with golden divine flames. Its eyes were even more domineering, like a king among all phoenixes, noble and untouchable.
Along with that sustained cry, the terrifying claws of the phoenix suddenly slammed down and blasted on the Buddha statue. The Buddha statue collapsed and shattered under that sudden attack of the divine flame and its terrifying force. Ye Futian’s mind suffered a violent and abrupt blow.
Bang! Ye Futian slid backward and smashed a stone table somewhere. Between his and Donghuang Diyuan’s eyes, an extremely bright golden light did not dissipate.
“Do you think you are powerful?” Even Donghuang Diyuan’s eyes had released brilliant divine flames. She was bathed fully in the power of the divine might. At this moment, she was dazzling—a proud empress blooming with incomparable divine might, more arrogant and haughtier than ever.
Ye Futian’s eyes sharpened slightly as he looked up at the figure. It was then that he seemed to have realized something.
The woman who was standing in front of him was not some weakling with a pretty face. If she were underestimated simply because of her looks, then someone would be paying a great price as he did just now.
The daughter of Donghuang the Great was the only princess in the Divine Prefecture, who had inherited from Donghuang the Great. The extent of Donghuang Diyuan’s strength could not really be imagined.
Donghuang the Great must have devoted every resource available in training her.
The likes of Wang Xiao, because of their unparalleled talents, such as in armoring, had some right to ask for the hand of Donghuang Diyuan. Still, this was nothing more than an idiotic dream. They seemed to only focus on her identity as Donghuang Diyuan but never considered just how powerful she really was.
Perhaps it was because of Donghuang Diyuan’s identity as a woman, or perhaps she had never truly revealed her full strength in front of the outside world that there was no need to consider such things.
“The Second Tribulation!” Ye Futian was a little surprised at the strength of Donghuang Diyuan. She was so strong, so who in the Devil World had captured her?
Yu Sheng took a step toward Donghuang Diyuan, and an overbearing demonic might bloomed from him.
“Yu Sheng!” Ye Futian called out to him. Yu Sheng stopped immediately as he looked at Ye Futian behind him.
At this moment, divine light was lingering upon Ye Futian’s body as a violent roar of the Great Path emerged from within him. For a while, a brilliant divine light continued to erupt from him.
At this moment, Ye Futian was surrounded by a powerful intent of battle.
He had previously slaughtered existences who had survived the Second Divine Tribulation of the Great Path. When he was trespassing into the Devil Imperial Palace, he had also defeated several cultivators at this level. It was not until the appearance of the Earth Demon Sage that he really felt the sense of coercion.
Now, from Donghuang Diyuan, he felt a strong sense of pressure.
What kind of talent did this princess from the Divine Prefecture possess? Just how strong was she? Ye Futian was very curious.
And he was not the only one that was curious. At this moment, the Demon Emperor was standing over the Demon God Palace as he was looking this way. The exchange between these two was of great interest to him!
