The Legend of Futian

Ye Futian and the others continued on their journey. This ancient continent had prospered. Cultivators had migrated here from all over the world. Even if they were unable to seize the treasures, they could still cultivate here.

However, it was not easy to resist the temptation of searching for the treasures after one set foot on this ancient continent.

Ye Futian’s group traversed the sky, and their divine consciousness covered a vast space. They had no idea what kind of fateful encounters other top figures had been involved with. They also did not know whether these others had found the highest-level relics, such as the relics of the Eight Legions who had served under the Heavenly Path.

They saw many cultivators engaging in battles, but they stayed away from the battlefields. They continued to advance until they sensed shocking Sword Will shooting up into the heavens in the distance. They could faintly make out the silhouettes of swords in the sky.

“Let’s go and have a look,” Ye Futian said.

His group rushed in that direction, and soon they arrived at a spot.

There were three gigantic swords on the ground. Each sword was 100 Zhang tall. They were not broken swords. Instead, they were full-fledged swords that were stabbed into the ground. Terrifying Sword Realms formed around each of them. There were projections of the swords in the sky. Sword Realms formed even around their silhouettes.

Many swordsmen had gathered in this area. Clearly, all of them had come here after sensing the Sword Will. Quite a number of powerful swordsmen were among the crowd.

There were three swords.

Ye Futian and the others felt rather excited. The teachings hidden in these three swords were most likely more complete than the teachings Ye Wuchen had obtained from the broken sword.

The Sword Will being given off by these three gigantic swords was even more astonishing and powerful.

Many swordsmen stayed in these regions enveloped by the Sword Realms. Some of them cultivated while standing and staring at the three divine swords. Some sat cross-legged while comprehending the Sword Will. However, none of them tried to pull out the swords. It was because whoever attempted that perished under the Sword Will.

The swords of the Great Emperors could not be pulled out so easily.

Ye Futian said, “These are not imperial arms. Instead, they are formed from powerful Sword Wills. The Wills materialize into divine swords and are erected here.” For countless years, the Sword Wills remained intact, and the divine swords stood here like real divine arms.

From the look of it, they would have to stay here for a while, Ye Futian thought to himself. It was impossible to ignore these three divine swords. There were quite a few swordsmen in their group. It was worth it for them to spend some time here. If any of them could resonate with the Sword Wills, it would naturally be the best outcome.

Before the three giant swords, there were already many people. All of them were swordsmen. Each of them had a Sword Realm around them as they occupied a spot. This caused those who had come later to not have any room to occupy, and thus they had to wait at the very back.

However, some incredible figures would directly advance forward and pay the rest no heed.

Ye Futian’s group was naturally like this. Their group passed right through the crowd and advanced. They wanted to comprehend the Sword Will at the spot closest to the divine swords.

BUZZ.

Right then, they sensed many Sword Wills directly enveloping their bodies. It seemed that if they continued advancing, someone might attack them at any moment. More than one person or sword would do so.

The people behind them did not act rashly. The swordsmen here seemed to have already arranged themselves according to their cultivation planes. Whoever was more powerful naturally had a better spot. Those who were weak were not qualified to sit in the front and would also not manage to get through.

Their group kept advancing toward the three divine swords ahead of them. Suddenly, a sense of danger descended upon them.

Someone had attacked.

Up ahead, someone drew their sword. In an instant, astonishing Sword Will swept out. The Sword Will disappeared with a flash and was extremely quick. It immediately slashed toward Ye Futian’s figure faster than the eye could see.

SWOOSH.

The dazzling Sword Flash slashed down, but it only managed to slice a small part of Ye Futian’s white robe.

“Stop,” someone said. The Sword Flash dispersed, as though it had merely been testing Ye Futian. It did not seek to kill.

Ye Futian glanced at the cultivator who had attacked. He was a middle-aged swordsman. He didn’t even turn around. However, his sword attack had been very impressive. It had been as fast as lightning.

Ye Futian did not retaliate, but Chen Yi, who was standing beside him, responded. He similarly sent out a strike that was as swift as lightning. Sword Will burst forth from the figure of the middle-aged swordsman. Chen Yi’s blade of light flashed and a cut was left on the face of the swordsman. The latter paused in his tracks stiffly. Then he turned around to look at Ye Futian and the others.

“Please let us through,” said Ye Futian.

His group continued to move forward as the swordsman stepped aside. When they reached the front, there were a few cultivators standing there. The cultivator who was standing nearest to the swords had an extraordinary temperament. He stood there quietly like a statue. He seemed to have become one with the Sword Realms around him. His unwavering gaze was fixed on the three gigantic swords in front of him.

Right at this moment, beams of light shot out from his eyes as he uttered coldly, “It’s too noisy. All of you, leave.”

His voice sounded like he was commanding the rest of them. From the look of it, his meditation had been disturbed, and hence he had ordered all the others to leave this space.

Everyone around the cultivator narrowed their eyes. There were quite a few very powerful swordsmen standing to the side of this cultivator. However, they also frowned when they heard his command. Judging from their gazes, they were extremely wary of him.

“I do not wish to repeat myself,” the other party said again. The few swordsmen retreated instantly, moving farther away from him. Behind them, the other swordsmen also stepped back one by one. All of them moved farther away, but they were all still in the same region.

“Move farther back,” ordered the cultivator with his back facing the rest of the swordsmen. The expressions of the swordsmen turned ugly, but they did not dare to voice their dissatisfaction. They could only retreat farther away.

Soon, aside from Ye Futian and his group, there were no other cultivators in the surrounding region. The swordsman was the closest to the divine swords. The space around him was empty, demonstrating his ability as a powerful deterrence.

Ye Futian looked at the other party. This person did not wish to be disturbed. Hence, he had given this order for the others to step back. He wanted to occupy this space alone.

Only he could cultivate here.

The cultivators who had left the region looked toward Ye Futian’s group. The latter were actually still standing there and had not moved. Were they seeking their deaths?

They knew how terrifying this swordsman was.

BUZZ.

A vast Sword Will enveloped Ye Futian’s group. The terrifying Sword Will contained an intense threatening will. This caused Ye Futian to frown. He said to the members behind him, “All of you, stand back.”

Lord Chen and the others naturally sensed the threat. They obeyed Ye Futian’s command and speedily retreated. This cultivator was very strong. Even an existence like Lord Chen felt an extremely powerful threat coming from this cultivator.

“I am Ye Futian from Ziwei Imperial Palace,” said Ye Futian.

“If you don’t step back, you will die,” said the other party in a cold tone even before Ye Futian finished speaking. His stance was unquestionable.

Everyone knew the name of Ye Futian from Ziwei Imperial Palace. However, the other party did not pay Ye Futian any heed when he heard the latter’s name. He ignored who he was completely. He only wanted Ye Futian to leave; otherwise, Ye Futian would die.

Ye Futian did not say anything more. He wielded the imperial arm, Sky Tremor. At the same time, he looked at the three divine swords. In an instant, he sensed three distinct Sword Wills.

Each of these divine swords seemed to represent a different Sword Will.

“A Great Emperor mastered three Sword Wills!” mumbled Ye Futian. He seemed to be ignoring the other party’s words and did not retreat.

BUZZ.

Suddenly, a sword emerged from the person’s body. As the sword was drawn, a formless destructive will enveloped the vast space. The surrounding powers of the Great Path seemed to have been annihilated by this Sword Will.

At the same time, on Ye Futian’s figure, Sky Tremor emanated a terrifying Tremoring Pulse. He had faced Fang Ru, who was also a powerful being, before. This swordsman was probably on the same level as Fang Ru and had already advanced to the next plane.

His Sword Will was already different from the Sword Wills of the cultivators whom Ye Futian had met before. It had undergone a change in quality and seemed to be uniquely his own.

However, Ye Futian’s own combat ability was similarly top tier now. He also had an imperial arm. He could kill ordinary Two Tribulation Plane cultivators with a single strike. They were no match for him at all. If he wielded an imperial arm, only demigods could pose a threat to him.

The Sword Will burned brightly. However, the next moment, the sword disappeared. Ye Futian sensed a powerful threat and his figure immediately disappeared as well.

BANG.

The sword hit the ground and disappeared into it, leaving behind an extremely deep mark.

Ye Futian appeared in the space above the other party. With a dull thud, he struck the space with his imperial arm. As he swung Sky Tremor, countless Tremoring Pulses gushed forth and eradicated everything in this part of the sky.

The swordsman pointed a finger upward. Immediately, countless divine swords flew upward and forged a Sword Realm. The Sword Realm formed from divine swords collided head-on with the plummeting Tremoring Pulses. The former was actually not any weaker than the latter. A suffocating aura erupted on the battlefield.

He actually dared to start a fight immediately, thought the crowd, as they looked at Ye Futian. This prominent figure from the Divine Prefecture seemed to have offended the wrong person today. They did not know how this battle would end.

They naturally knew Ye Futian’s name and knew of his power. He had killed the Lord of Tianyan City and Wang Xiao, destroyed the Tianyan City Lord Office, as well as massacred the six major Ancient God Clans alone to the point that they feared him.

Such achievements were unparalleled in the Divine Prefecture. There had not been a prominent figure with such glorious achievements in several centuries.

However, the swordsman facing him right now had also been a legendary figure many years ago. He had not come out of the mountains for many years. If the tomb of the gods had not opened, he would most likely have remained in seclusion.

He was a legendary swordsman in the Divine Prefecture.. He was known as the first Sword Celestial of the Divine Prefecture. He was Supreme Swordlord!
