The Legend of Futian

Chapter 2616: Donghuang Diyuan

Donghuang Diyuan glanced at Ye Futian, then raised her head as she soared upward, heading higher into the sky.

This was not the Donghuang Imperial Palace, and she would not want to destroy any of it unnecessarily.

Ye Futian saw the movements of Donghuang’s Diyuan, so he, too, followed her higher into the sky.

The two continued going up until they came to the area just below the Devil Abyss. Above the firmament, a pitch-black dark aura of destruction circulated. But under that ominous dark clouds, there were two figures surrounded by dazzling divine light.

Buzz! A blazing wild wind blew, and Donghuang Diyuan seemed to bathe in the shadow of a divine phoenix. The divine phoenix was akin to the Demon Monarch in the days of yore, incomparably noble. Even the divine wings that appeared behind Donghuang Diyuan were covered in brilliant golden feathers, shining with the dazzling brilliance of divine glory.

In an instant, the dark clouds of tribulation overhead were illuminated, and a red glow appeared in the pitch-black sky. Many demonic cultivators in the Devil Imperial Palace looked up in the sky and had a look of shock on their faces. When they saw that gigantic divine phoenix, there was a disturbance in all of their hearts.

This imagery was too incredible. Who was there?

Many figures levitated into the sky, standing on top of many demonic halls, looking up at the sky. There were also great demons heading higher into the sky, but they felt an intense pressure of might as they went further up. Whoever was able to reach this far above the sky must be someone of great cultivation. Who could be fighting over there?

“It’s the divine phoenix!” Ye Futian looked at Donghuang Diyuan and felt pressure coming from the phoenix’s phantom. He could feel a strong sense of coercion.

This feeling of oppression seemed quite familiar. Once, he had a similar feeling when he was facing the corpse of the Peacock Demon Monarch.

That was the aura of the Demon Monarch.

What was happening in front of him seemed to remind him once again that the one standing in front of him was the only daughter of Donghuang the Great. Along the way in his cultivation, he had obtained the inheritance of several great emperors. Would someone like Donghuang Diyuan have any fewer opportunities than him?

Donghuang the Great must have given her all the very best.

Just from this aura alone, he knew that Donghuang Diyuan must have received the power of the DemonMonarch’ss divine phoenix.

Ye Futian had primarily been invincible on the path of cultivation, but self-reflection was sometimes necessary. He seemed to have been a little overconfident, so he had overlooked what Donghuang Diyuan was capable of. Before the battle, he did not recognize Donghuang Diyuan’s true strength.

But at this moment, there was no denying it. His eyes were grave and solemn, and he became quite serious.

“You have comprehended the divine body from the body of Shenjia the Great Emperor—a physique that is powerful and unparalleled, so let me experience its power for myself!” Donghuang Diyuan was extremely arrogant and exuded a noble temperament that she was born with. The world only saw her nobility, status, and that unparalleled beauty but forgot all about her talent and strength.

When Wang Xiao had thoughts about courting Donghuang Diyuan, Spear Emperor Du You was dismissive of him. As the direct disciple of Donghuang the Great, Du You would know just how good and powerful Donghuang Diyuan was; however, she had never shown the world any of it.

Even before this moment, Ye Futian hadn’t known her true strength and realm.

“Have it your way.” Behind Ye Futian, a phantom of the peacock demon god appeared, domineering to the extreme. An aggressive and unparalleled divine light flowed from him. His figure flashed then turned into an astonishing streak of lightning, rushing towards Donghuang Diyuan.

Since his realization of the divine body, he had not used the way of the physical body on any opponent. He had since survived several tribulations so that this physical body was now many times stronger.

Donghuang Diyuan knew very well that his physical body was massively powerful, but she wanted to compete with him in physical strength.

A streamer of light sailed across that turned out to be Ye Futian. He came down in front of Donghuang Diyuan in a blink of an eye. He unleashed a strike with his fist without any fancy frills, except fist aurora that was meant to shatter everything in its path. The divine light lingered and covered the fist. That punch had enough force to make heaven and earth tremble.

It seemed that with this blow alone, he could punch through the delicate body of Donghuang Diyuan.

A radiant golden figure rushed toward Ye Futian, and a punch was also unleashed. Two massive phantoms appeared in the void, and it was the phantoms of the divine phoenix and the Peacock Demon God.

Bang! Above the firmament, the silence that covered the area was deafening as a most brilliant light swept out, sheltering the entire sky above the Devil Imperial Palace. Even in the capital outside the Devil Imperial Palace had gathered countless bystanders to witness the scene unfolding before them. The sky was stained a different color, and even from far away, the gigantic divine phoenix and the peacock could be seen.

Top figures were fighting in the sky above the Devil Imperial Palace.

The two streamers of light collided time and again, which seemed to shatter even the clouds of tribulation in the sky. There was a terrible divine light of destruction that shot down from the firmament as the halo of collision radiated outward. Muffled sounds of collisions were heard continuously, which drove the heart of everyone in the Devil Imperial Palace to beat wildly.

It was a frightening great battle.

This kind of fight was only possible with characters on the level of the Demon Sage.

Finally, as a divine light swept out, the two finally separated.

Ye Futian was carrying the phantom of the Peacock Demon God on his back, as the divine light of the Great Path circling his body endlessly. He stared at the peerless figure opposite of him. He did not expect that in their physical confrontation, he had not been able to suppress her.

The Princess’s beautiful eyes, likewise, were fixed upon Ye Futian as well. It was hard to imagine that her delicate body was capable of unleashing such terrifying energy. Only she knew how she managed to cultivate such a powerful physique. Her cultivation environment was not something that Ye Futian could have ever dreamed of. No matter how many wonderful chances Ye Futian had encountered, they could never be compared with what was made available to her.

From an early age, Donghuang the Great had been tempering her in the best of conditions. No matter the time or realm, the most suitable resource for cultivation had always been at her disposal.

What she experienced was different from all the other worlds. No one was competing with her for cultivational resources because everything belonged to her and her alone.

Moreover, only she knew how much effort her father had poured into her.

Ye Futian had once comprehended the body of Shenjia the Great Emperor and possessed the inheritance of the Peacock Demon Monarch.

But she had bathed in the true sacred blood of the DemonMonarch’s phoenix, refined by the sacred blood, and it had integrated as part of her body.

This was just one part of it. She had also endured the tribulation of the divine flames with her flesh and blood. And now, her divine body was sharper and more deadly than any divine arms.

She had never wasted any bit of strength on her journey in cultivation. She had enjoyed nothing but the cream of the crop in resources and the most powerful cultivational methods.

“Not bad.” Donghuang Diyuan’s phoenix robe fluttered as her eyes drifted once again to Ye Futian. She said, “I heard that you are also an expert in swordsmanship; show me how far along is your sword.”

Buzz! As soon as Donghuang Diyuan’s voice fell, rays of divine light swept out. Above the firmament, a terrifying domain of the Great Path seemed to manifest. Above Ye Futian, endless brilliant golden runes appear. They were filled with an aura that was incredibly horrific and sharp.

Those radiant golden runes gathered together and turned into a divine sword as the sword light flooded the space. In an instant, it had enveloped the area below and swallowed up YeFutian’s body within that sword domain.

Under this sword intent, the entire space seemed to be on the verge of destruction, as invisible sword shadows rained down and flowed freely in this sword domain.

Ye Futian looked up and wondered if Donghuang Diyuan meant to challenge all the areas in which he was an expert?
