Chapter 2756 The Start of the Storm
Ye Futian was trapped in the Dark World. It was like a prison. No matter what he did, he couldn’t walk out of this dark prison.
The dark prison wouldn’t affect his descriptions nor would it affect his divine consciousness. The Force of the Great Path and Celerity could all be used as normal, but he just couldn’t get out. It was as if he’d gotten sealed off by true divine power.
This was a prison that Tianshen had made just for him and the Dark Sovereign had done it personally. No matter how strong Ye Futian was, it was most likely impossible if he wanted to get out. The Dark Sovereign was a true Great Emperor—the ruler of the Dark World.
They had only imprisoned him and didn’t intend to kill him. After many attempts, Ye Futian also understood that he couldn’t escape, so he gave up and just sat down to cultivate. A huge face appeared in the boundless darkness. It seemed to have been formed from the darkness. A terrifying dark storm swept over. Ye Futian opened his eyes and stared up. He felt an impossibly horrifying dark will. He’d never truly felt such a strong will before.
He had met the Devil Emperor before, he had met Donghuang the Great before, and he had received inheritances from many Great Emperors. But this time, the Dark Sovereign’s true will was pressing down at him. This kind of situation had never happened before.
“Sovereign, what are you doing?” Ye Futian opened his mouth to ask.
“To show you the true world,” a wispy voice streamed out. The terrifying storm swept directly at Ye Futian and drowned his body. Then the tumultuous will rushed straight into Ye Futian’s mind. The next moment, his entire body shook violently.
Boom! This will was not meant to destroy his willpower. Instead, it brought him to another world. He seemed to have entered a special state. Countless images and memories flooded instantly into the depths of his mind. It was as if these had always belonged to him.
After a few moments, the dark will dissipated. Ye Futian’s aura rippled violently over his body and his eyes flew open. A beam of cold light shot out of his eyes.
“Phew…” Ye Futian let out a turbid sigh. It had only been a moment, but it was as if he had experienced countless lives, a century in one second. It was countless stories and he was the main character of each story, experiencing it personally. And without exception, each story had been tragic. The evil of humanity was shown fully.
“You implanted the memories directly.” Ye Futian felt his will somewhat being used without his control. He looked up at the dark face in the void. The implanted memories created strong empathy within him. He had experienced it personally, rather than looking on as a bystander, so the impact was huge. He could feel his heart had turned cold after experiencing cycle after cycle and his mind was filled with negative thoughts. “What you saw is the true world. You probably have experienced much in your own life. Think back on it well.” The voice came again, trying to influence him. To make someone fall into darkness, you had to first change their mindset and make darkness take over their entirety. Then they would naturally bring darkness to the world.
“The true world does not only have one side to it.” Ye Futian believed that the memories in his mind had all truly happened, but if he was corroded by this will, then he would become cruel, bloodthirsty and not trust anyone.
The Light of Buddha shone and enveloped over Ye Futian’s body. He closed his eyes as his body shone with golden light. The Buddhist Voice circled around. Ye Futian’s lips moved and when he uttered the Buddhist Voice, it transformed into symbols that filled the darkness.
“Hmph!” There was a cold huff and it shattered the Light of Buddha on Ye Futian’s body. Dark power shrouded his body. Destruction, death and other forces ate away at him and another horrifying intent rushed into Ye Futian’s mind.
Once again, Ye Futian experienced everything from the past, feeling all the evils of the human world. But when he woke, he reminded himself again. The Light of Buddha wrapped around him and he chanted the ancient scriptures so his willpower would not be destroyed.
After coming to this stalemate many times, the dark will disappeared. It had given up. Ye Futian had extremely strong will naturally and was able to maintain his reason even when suffering intense attacks and influences. He controlled himself to drive away the darkness with the power of the Buddha.
Of course, this was not all in vain. Everything that had been implanted into Ye Futian’s mind truly existed. The Buddha’s power could drive away the negative thoughts that were born, but these memories would still continue to affect him. None of this could be erased.
Time pa.s.sed day by day. Imprisoned by the darkness, Ye Futian received news from the Ruins of the G.o.ds Continent. There had been conflicts between the various worlds in the Ruins of the G.o.ds Continent before but they had not exploded completely. Now, these conflicts had finally exploded fully.
And this was all because of the Dark Court.
He heard that recently, cultivators of the Dark World kept looting and killing, causing wars to erupt all over. Traces of the Dark Court were behind many of these events, so more and more wars erupted and powers of the Dark World and Divine Prefecture entered a full-out war first. War ravaged everywhere.
At the same time, the Dark Court acted upon the forces of the Donghuang Imperial Palace. They even wanted to conquer the the Naga Ruins.
The war between these two parties was like a preamble, causing war to sweep across the entire Ruins Continent. Other forces were gradually swept into the storm, starting from the random battles to wars that began gradually between the powers of various worlds. Conflicts continued to erupt between the Devil World, Divine Prefecture, World of Buddhism and Human Realm. It was the same for the Empty Divine Realm.
This was not even led by the Devil Imperial Palace and Empty Mountain. Before they even decided to get involved in the storm, forces of the Devil World. Empty Divine Realm and other worlds had already started fighting and intensifying. It was not under their control anymore.
An intense storm was brewing in the Ruins of the G.o.ds Continent.
Ye Futian also learned that Ye Qingyao had returned to Ruins of the G.o.ds Continent and was in the war. She would lead the strong fighters of the Dark Court to attack the Divine Prefecture, which was headed by Donghuang Imperial Palace.
“Sovereign!” Ye Futian raised his head and yelled into the void. This was the Dark Court and the Dark Sovereign was omnipresent. He knew that the Dark Sovereign may have never come here, but it could also be said that he was always here.
“You have imprisoned me for many days. Since you have already come to a decision, how much longer will you keep me here for?” Ye Futian said loudly. “I have given them orders before coming to the Dark Court. If I run into danger in the Dark Court, the Ziwei Imperial Palace and Devil World will attack the Dark Court.”
“Are you threatening me?’ a cold voice said, bringing along a suffocating weight. “It is not a threat. It is the truth,” Ye Futian said. “If I do not return, and even if the Ziwei Imperial Palace does not say anything, Yu Sheng will still lead the Devil Imperial Palace to attack the Dark Court. At that time, I will have them persuade Qingyao to rebel. The rules of six worlds will be in that battle. It would be difficult for even you, the Sovereign, to interfere, right?”
