The Legend of Futian

Chapter 2836: Arrogant Predecessor God

Ye Futian changed the laws of the world of the Micro Heavenly Path, causing the latter’s time to be different from that of the outside world. It was around ten times faster.

A day outside was around ten days in the world of the Micro Heavenly Path. Hence, while half a year had passed in the outside world, almost six years had passed inside. For cultivators with high cultivation planes, this was naturally extremely beneficial. If they were just in an independent space that was part of this world, it would be meaningless no matter how they changed the time. However, because the world of the Micro Heavenly Path was not part of their reality, they had more time to cultivate.

For the members of Ye Imperial Palace, this was undoubtedly very advantageous for them. They could use this time to cultivate.

It was also possible that they could continue to magnify such a change. For now, it was around ten times. As Ye Futian’s plane grew, he might be able to create an even more significant disparity. If he could one day make a day in the outside world be a year in the world of the Micro Heavenly Path, how terrifying would that be?

Of course, the benefit of such a time difference was relative. That would not necessarily be a good thing for a mortal with a limited lifespan.

The outside world would change every day, and the Great Emperor-To-Be figures would gradually reach the Imperial Realm. Their cultivation would match that of ancient times, returning to levels once absent from the world for many years. However, all of this had nothing to do with the members of Ye Imperial Palace.

Ye Futian and Gu Dongliu continued with their cultivation. Gu Dongliu severed his Path and cultivated while Ye Futian comprehended the power of the law of time. The latter wanted to understand how to control the law of the Great Path of Time. He wondered whether he could utilize it as an attack in combat.

...

In the Divine Prefecture, countless cultivators were gathered on a mountain in the Taishang Domain. ʀᴇᴀᴅ ʟᴀᴛᴇsᴛ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀᴛ ɴo(v)elꜰɪre.ɴet

In the distance, terrifying divine tribulations gradually dissipated. On the divine mountain, a peerless figure stood erect.

It was an elder. He was dressed in modest clothes. However, right now, an astonishing emperor’s might emanated from his figure.

Before this, many people did not know that the Taishang Domain had such a powerful existence. The latter had ascended to the Imperial Realm.

“Congratulations, Senior, for reaching the Imperial Realm,” a voice called out. Taishang Domain Chief had come in person to offer his congratulations. He bowed respectfully towards the elder.

The elder swept a glance at him. His gaze was actually very sharp. He took a deep breath and then looked up at the sky. He closed his eyes and sensed the aura in the surrounding space. He seemed to be indulging in it.

He had finally returned.

During the ancient era, he had already proven his Way and was granted the title of Tai’e. He was one of the top ten Sword Gods of the Divine Domain, Tai’e Sword God.

During the collapse of the Heavenly Path, he had merged into his Sword Spirit and thus, escaped the calamity. After countless decades of waiting, he finally encountered the rejuvenation of the Heavenly Path. The chance for him to prove his Way had come, and he successfully reached the Imperial Realm once again.

The surrounding cultivators all had their eyes on him. He stood casually on the divine mountain, yet he looked as sharp as a divine sword.

Right at this moment, the wind howled, and the clouds churned. The sky opened up, and a space passageway appeared. At the other end of it stood an illusory figure. When the crowd saw this figure, they bowed and greeted, “Greetings, Your Highness.”

The person was none other than Donghuang the Great, the ruler of the Divine Prefecture.

“Senior, congratulations for proving your Way and reaching the Imperial Realm,” Donghuang the Great said with a smile as he stood at the other end of the space passageway. He sounded sincere.

Tai’e Sword God cast a glance at the passageway with an indifferent gaze. The current world was very different from that of the past. There were merely six Great Emperors dominating the world now. Compared to the glorious situation during the Age of the Gods, the current era could be described as pathetic.

Donghuang the Great had also known of the existence of Tai’e Sword God. Many years ago, the former had invited the latter to cultivate in Donghuang Imperial Palace. However, Tai’e Sword God turned down his offer. Now, Donghuang the Great extended him the invitation once again, saying, “I have invited Senior to cultivate in Imperial Palace before this. Now that you have proven your Way at the Imperial Realm, would you join us? We can explore different cultivation methods together. Currently, there are a few cultivators in the palace who will soon prove their Ways.”

“Alright,” Tai’e Sword God agreed to his request decisively. Then, he entered the space passageway. In the blink of an eye, he arrived inside Donghuang Imperial Palace.

Donghuang the Great showed himself and personally welcomed Tai’e Sword God. A few Great Emperors-To-Be came forward to congratulate him too.

“Yet another Great Emperor has appeared in the Divine Prefecture. The cultivation world is fortunate to welcome the return of the Age of the Gods,” Donghuang the Great said, beaming.

Tai’e Sword God did not respond to that. His facial expression remained indifferent throughout. He looked at Donghuang the Great and said, “Donghuang Imperial Palace should have gathered many divine items over the years. Your collection should contain many divine techniques and secrets of the cultivation world. Where are they now?”

Since the Six Great Emperors ruled over the entire world, the best stuff, including the divine items, would undoubtedly be in their collections.

Tai’e Sword God had just rejoined the Imperial Realm. He needed to strengthen himself so that his power could develop further.

The surrounding cultivators frowned when they heard his question. They stopped smiling and appeared irritated. Donghuang the Great invited him over. He had just arrived, and he straight up asked about the divine items?

He seemed to have no respect for all of them here.

“The divine techniques are in my Imperial Palace. If you want to cultivate them, you can follow me in,” Donghuang the Great replied calmly. He was not angered by the other party’s rude behavior. His excellent temperament was well exemplified.

“Give all of them to me. Besides that, prepare a separate palace for me. Order your men to find me the finest divine items on Earth,” Tai’e Sword God commanded. His voice was arrogant, and he spoke as though he was superior to Donghuang the Great.

During ancient times, he was the most exceptional Sword God. In his opinion, the current Great Emperors could not hold a candle to him.

Even the well-mannered Donghuang the Great couldn’t help but reveal an annoyed expression when he heard this. He said, “It is good news to the world that the Age of the Gods is coming. I invited you here to cultivate together and learn from each other. However, what you said has crossed the line.”

Tai’e Sword God swept a glance at Donghuang the Great. Tai’e Swords seemed to shoot out from his eyes and entered into the eyes of Donghuang the Great. At the same time, the palace was surrounded by endless Sword Will. With a shift of his will, Tai’e Sword God could make the divine swords descend upon the palace and flatten this place.

“You are a junior. How dare you disrespect a predecessor god,” chided Tai’e Sword God with a cold voice.

Donghuang the Great’s gaze similarly turned as sharp as a sword. He looked at Tai’e Sword God, and an invisible divine power immediately burst forth and enveloped the vast space. The whole world seemed to have come to a halt when his majestic divine power erupted.

The divine swords floating in midair shook violently. Then, they plummeted to the ground uncontrollably.

The facial expression of Tai’e Sword God changed drastically. He sensed that he could no longer control his own divine power. Time seemed to have frozen. He was actually suppressed by the divine power of the other party.

As a Great Emperor from ancient times, he had always looked down on the current Great Emperors. From his point of view, they were merely fortunate cultivators who managed to prove their Way during the collapse of the Heavenly Path. Their Paths were incomplete. They paled into insignificance when compared to the predecessor gods.

However, at this very moment, the divine power emanated by Donghuang the Great subverted his belief.

“From the looks of it, even though the Great Paths during the Age of the Gods were perfect, there were many scumb*gs too,” Donghuang the Great commented. Then, he pointed his finger forward. His Revelation Divine Power surged forward and pierced through the body of Tai’e Sword God.

Divine power was stirred up around Tai’e Sword God’s body as he unleashed his power to its limit. Nevertheless, both his divine power and his divine body turned into dust instantly. He was completely wiped off the face of the earth!
