Chapter 2713 - Gathering Of Prominent Figures

The events occurring before the eyes of the crowd were like a dream. The Supreme Heavenly King wanted to use the power of Tianshen to defeat Ye Futian. It appeared as though this battle was reaching its inevitable conclusion, in which the Near-Deity Plane Supreme Heavenly King would crush Ye Futian.

However, the outcome turned out that the Supreme Heavenly King lost to Ye Futian. The power of Tianshen that he relied on was instead stolen by the latter.

Right now, Ye Futian stood there, bathed in Tianshen Divine Halos on the sky stairwell. He was shining with brilliant light.

The Supreme Heavenly King coughed up a mouthful of fresh blood. His face was pale, but the damage he felt internally was even more intense. The impact of this battle on him was immense. It was not merely as simple as a defeat for him. He had communicated with the ancient will of Tianshen in the golem, and it was compatible with the power he cultivated.

However, how did the battle end like this?

He did not understand. How did he lose? What went wrong?

How did Ye Futian seize the power of Tianshen in the golem?

He was not the only one who did not understand. The cultivators present were also baffled. They looked over where Ye Futian stood in astonishment. How did he manage to pull it off?

Rumble. A terrifying pressure descended on Ye Futian's figure. In the sky above him, the Great Skylords Black and White Almighty released intense pressure. It was not just the two of them. At the top of the sky stairwell, Ji Wudao similarly had a gaze as sharp as daggers as he looked down at Ye Futian's silhouette.

"How did you do that?" asked Ji Wudao loudly. His voice shook the space like the voice of the Heavenly Emperor. It reverberated throughout the area. The entire independent world trembled due to his voice. It contained truly unparalleled power.

This was the Heavenly Emperor, Ji Wudao. He controlled the power of the Heavenly Emperor of the Old Heaven Court. He appeared to be the successor of the heavens.

Even though Ye Futian now had the power of the ancient Tianshen in the golem, he still felt an overbearing pressure acting on him right now. He raised his head and glanced at the silhouette in the sky. Ji Wudao's cultivation was far more profound than the Supreme Heavenly King's. The might of the Heavenly Emperor was unfathomable.

Moreover, Ji Wudao could better utilize this power than the Supreme Heavenly King.

"Since you can do it, why can't I?" retorted Ye Futian as he raised his chin.

Ji Wudao glared at Ye Futian. He was not satisfied with this answer. The teachings of the Heaven Court were compatible with that of House Deva. The current Heaven Court was the rightful successor of the ancient House Deva, which was the head of the Eight Legions that served under the Heavenly Path. In other words, the members of the Heaven Court were the successors of the Heavenly Path.

The members of the Heaven Court were supposed to stand head and shoulders above all the other cultivators. They represented the peak of the cultivation world. Ji Wudao did everything to reclaim the glory that belonged to the Heaven Court. Under his leadership, the Heaven Court would once again stand at the peak of the world and rule over all living beings. They would be in charge of maintaining worldly order.

Be it Donghuang Diyuan, Di Hao, or Ye Futian, they all had to make way for the Heaven Court to regain its reign.

Nobody could stop Ji Wudao. He was determined to finish what she had not been able to complete. This was his calling.

He was also sure that he could achieve his goal.

Ji Wudao looked at the white-haired figure beneath him. Even though he had seen Ye Futian a few times, it seemed like he had always underestimated the latter. Now, this Proud Son of Heaven from the Original Realm was powerful enough to pose a threat to the Heaven Court.

Buzz. Right now, a divine halo lit up at the end of the sky stairwell. A domineering divine light enveloped the vast space. The divine light propagated and shielded the sun. In an instant, the entire region of the Old Heaven Court was covered by the light. Sensing the overbearing pressure, even the cultivators far away in other places looked up at the sky.

A god seemed to have descended upon the region.

The phantasm of the old Heavenly Emperor appeared, and it was blinding. As the divine light rained down, a shocking scene played out in the sky. A scroll painting unfolded in the heavens. The past was reenacted in the scroll; the heavens collapsed, and the ground split open. Endless divine light poured down from the cracks in the sky. The reenactment was a scene from the War of the Gods.

In the painting, the Heavenly Emperor summoned all the Tianshens back to the Old Heaven Court. All of them gathered at the sky stairwell. Awe-inspiring Tianshen passageways were activated, and each passageway led to a different part of the world. The Heavenly Emperor pointed his sword forward, and all the Tianshens moved under his command. All of them left behind a golem before they embarked on war through the Tianshen passageways.

The reenactment was not very clear as it was formed from will. As the scene played out, divine light rained down, and immediately, all the golems on the sky stairwell were illuminated. The golems came to life and transformed into ancient Tianshens.

The sky stairwell glowed as the ancient Tianshens returned. Even the golem that Ye Futian had resonated with shone with menacing divine halos. Affected by the will of the Heavenly Emperor, it struggled to break free from Ye Futian's control.

"He's so strong!" exclaimed the crowd as they looked up at the silhouette of Ji Wudao.

All these phenomena were triggered by Ji Wudao.

Right now, Ji Wudao was like the descendant of the Heavenly Emperor.

He was originally the heir of the Heaven Realm. If the current Heaven Realm was considered to have inherited the lineage of the ancient House Deva, then Ji Wudao could indeed be considered the successor of the Old Heaven Court.

Ji Wudao looked down at Ye Futian. The sword of the Heavenly Emperor in his hand radiated with divine halos. The might of Tianshen burst forth simultaneously, attempting to kill Ye Futian right there.

Bang. A ferocious power burst forth from Ye Futian's figure as he struggled free from the pressure. At the same time, he unleashed Celerity, and his figure disappeared from its original position and appeared in another location. Divine light immediately pierced the spot where he stood moments ago.

If the attack had landed, Ye Futian would undoubtedly have perished.

"The attack is so powerful," commented the crowd as they looked at Ji Wudao. At this moment, he appeared invincible. Had he completely inherited the will of the Heavenly Emperor?

The divine light covered the vast space as the phantasm of the Heavenly Emperor appeared in the sky and looked down on everyone.

Were the cultivators present here really capable of defeating Ji Wudao?

He was unrivaled in this region. Who could stand against him?

Right at this moment, a terrifying aura permeated the space. The divine light in the heavens seemed to retract. This scene caused many people to look out into the distance. Then, they saw a demonic cloud churn and roar frenziedly as it headed their way.

The demonic cloud appeared to contain powerful demonic might. It was like the will of a demon god and was terrifying.

"Did someone from Devil Imperial Palace communicate with the will of the Demonic Lord?" Many people secretly thought to themselves. Before this, the cultivators of Devil Imperial Palace had been comprehending the will of the Demonic Lord in the relic of House Karura. The various cultivators all vaguely knew about this. The top figures of Devil Imperial Palace had been in seclusion for several years and had not been seen.

However, now demonic might churned and roared as it surged over. What did the cultivators of Devil Imperial Palace coming out of seclusion signify?

High in the sky, the terrifying demonic cloud roared. It formed a gigantic silhouette as though the Demonic Lord had come in person. Beneath the demonic figure, a group of cultivators appeared. They were the cultivators of Devil Imperial Palace. They stood high in the sky, unafraid of the divine might as they stared ahead.

Back during the War of the Gods, the forces of the Demonic Lord were originally one of the most powerful forces that attacked the Heavenly Path. It was difficult for the people of today to imagine how powerful the ability of the Demonic Lord was. He actually dared to defy the Heavenly Path. He killed the king of House Karura and destroyed the Shrine of the Karura. His ability was undoubtedly superior to all the cultivators of House Karura. He might even rival the Heavenly Emperor.

Aside from the Demonic Lord, who else had the most powerful combat ability back then?

Some of the figures from back then were not in the relic but instead had perished in the outside world and lost their lives completely. An example was Shenjia the Great Emperor. Back then, he had wanted to battle the Heavenly Path. He proclaimed that there were originally no Paths in the world and wished to fight against the heavens.

The current cultivation world could not imagine how frightening the War of the Gods was back in the day.

"Yu Sheng!" Ye Futian cried out as he saw someone in the churning demonic cloud. Yu Sheng was surprisingly standing in the cloud. His temperament seemed to have undergone a considerable change. His entire body was jet black. The demonic aura that circled his body was like demonic armor. His jet-black eyes stirred up fear in the hearts of those who gazed into them. He was extremely domineering.

"Did Yu Sheng inherit the will of the Demonic Lord?" Ye Futian secretly thought. There were so many cultivators in Devil Imperial Palace. Aside from Yu Sheng, there were the top Demon Sage, Yan Guiyi, and the other cultivators. There were many top-tier demonic cultivators who had cultivated in the relic. Now that they had come out of seclusion, that meant someone had naturally succeeded in inheriting the will and teachings of the Demonic Lord.

The various cultivators also looked at the members of Devil Imperial Palace who had arrived.. This relic of Old Heaven Court had become a gathering of prominent figures. The cultivators from various forces had all gathered here!
