Chapter 2780 The Killing Arrives
It was Year 10,150 of the Divine Prefecture Calendar. The G.o.d’s Ruins Continent had gone through the acc.u.mulation of time. After cycling through chaos to peace countless times, many extraordinary figures had appeared. The population of the place was great too.
Cultivators from all the worlds had come here here, taking root and growing stronger. More and more forces were established here.
In terms of the overall level, this G.o.d’s Ruins Continent was stronger than any realm of the Seven Realms. Of course, this continent itself got its power from the forces of the Original Realm that had moved from the Seven Realms.
There was also an interesting phenomenon in recent years. The cultivators from the Original Realm mostly gathered in the territory covered by the Ye Imperial Palace. They were stationed there, as if seeing the Ye Imperial Palace as the center, agreeing by default that the Ye Imperial Palace represented the forces of the Original Realm.

Of course, most of them had come to the Ruins Continent to cultivate through the s.p.a.ce pa.s.sage created by the Ye Imperial Palace. So they naturally felt closer to the Ye Imperial Palace and viewed it as a place they revered.
In addition, the disciples that had originally studied at the Heavenly Mandate Academy had gradually matured and strengthened. They held great authority among the Original Realm cultivators in the outside world. It was even more so for the people who had come from the Ziwei Imperial Palace.
As for the forces outside of the Original Realm, they were developing nonstop too. They crossed through their cultivation realm and the Ruins World, improving their abilities while preserving relative peace. No largescale conflicts had erupted in the past few years.
However, there was still something that caused a commotion. It was the dark undercurrent of the Seven Realms.
This event was still related to the marriage alliance from a few years back. After the Human Realm had been rejected and humiliated, their relations.h.i.+p with the Divine Prefecture worsened subtly too. Not too long after that event, the Human Realm invited the top figures of the Seven Realms to a sparring session in the Human Realm.
There had been many guesses about this sparring session. The general public was not familiar with it, but according to rumors, the Human Realm wanted to win over the strongest figures of all the worlds. This naturally included the top figures of the Divine Prefecture.
Apparently, many strong cultivators had gone, including famous people from the Divine Prefecture, who had gone secretly. As for what exactly happened there, no one knew.
The Ye Imperial Palace did not partic.i.p.ate.
A strong cultivator of the Human Realm had gone personally to invite Ye Futian to cultivate in the Human Realm and learn from the Human Ancestor, but Ye Futian had rejected him. This meant that he had missed the chance to get close with the Human Realm.
At this time, a mysterious yet strong aura covered the land within the Ye Imperial Palace. This vast Ye Imperial Palace was like a true emperor-level palace. It was extremely magnificent, and the formless weight that filled the sky above it was like the might of an emperor.
Many top figures had gathered within the Ye Imperial Palace. Many strong figures had gone through the Divine Tribulation of the Great Path, especially since many people had had breakthroughs these past few years.
After the previous storm, Ye Futian had ordered the strong cultivators of the Ye Imperial Palace cultivate in peace and improve themselves. The strong figures of the Ye Imperial Palace all followed Ye Futian’s orders and worked hard on cultivating, trying their best to reach another level before the drastic changes occurred. This way, they could react to the changes.
With such a cultivation environment, as well as pills, various divine techniques, and other cultivation resources, their abilities had improved quickly.
Ye Futian sat in the cultivation court at the peak of the Ye Imperial Palace. Divine light circled him. With his body as the core, the green divine light enveloped the boundless world. It reached the sky along the divine wall, pa.s.sed through the matrix, and extended and enveloped the vast Ye Imperial Palace.
Right now, the entire Ye Imperial Palace was under the envelopment of his divine consciousness. Naturally, it was also covered by the domain of his Will of the Great Way. It was like his small world.
Under his divine consciousness, he could see all the cultivators. He could easily see the cultivation statuses of third brother Gu Dongliu, the Supreme Swordlord, Fang Cun, and Xia Qingyuan.
They all knew this and did not care that Ye Futian was watching them. When they ran into problems with cultivating, they would communicate directly with Ye Futian like this. Fang Cun and the others especially would often speak up directly to ask about cultivation.
“Ye.” Just then, a figure stood up in a cultivation spot of the Ye Imperial Palace and looked up at the sky. His figure was burlesque and filled with aggressive force. He actually called directly to the sky.
There was a strong wave of Qi in the atrium. It gathered into an illusory face-it was Ye Futian’s face.
“What is wrong?” A voice came out of that illusion. It was Ye Futian’s figure, but his true self was still cultivating in isolation. This illusory figure was only formed by his consciousness.
“I just comprehended a shred of Power of the Dragon G.o.d from the Dragon G.o.d’s corpse. After combining it into my Will of the Fighting G.o.d, I can have a breakthrough. Do you want to try?” Dou Zhao said a bit excitedly. Ye Futian had once exchanged a Dragon G.o.d’s corpse with Xia Qingyuan. It was mainly to help the Demon Clan cultivate, especially the Dragon Clan.
Dou Zhao had comprehended a shred of the Power of the Dragon G.o.d too.
“Okay,” the illusion in the sky answered. Dou Zhao’s figure instantly shot into the sky, his body transforming into a giant. Like a G.o.d of war, a frightening war rune with divine light appeared between his brows. Countless symbols of the word “war” floated in the sky, and an immense will of war burst forth.
In an instant, the vast land was filled with an extremely chaotic aura. The combat power was shocking.
In the Ye Imperial Palace, many people in the distance felt this strong will that shot into the clouds and all looked over. They saw the aura of war shoot up, and a War G.o.d-like figure rose up, zooming murderously into the sky.
It was Dou Zhao. He had gone through the first Divine Tribulation of the Great Path countless years ago.
“Such a strong aura. The abilities of Dou Zhao are getting scarier nowadays. I must cultivate hard too,” someone whispered, their heart quivering Nowadays, the abilities of the cultivators in the Ye Imperial palace were getting more and more frightening. If they didn’t work hard in cultivating, they would get left in the dust.
“Open!” Dou Zhao roared. He transformed into the War G.o.d, and his will of war continued to be pushed to the max. He rushed into the sky, and battle intent filled the air instantly. The War G.o.d was about to shatter the void.
But just then, the illusory figure in the sky stamped his foot, making the world thunder. It stepped directly onto that War G.o.d’s body, and the aggressive War G.o.d that had shot into the sky dropped down even faster. It had been stepped on and forced down directly.
“Boom!” There was a huge boom, and some buildings collapsed. Many people’s hearts clenched fiercely. They all mourned for the War G.o.d that had disappeared.
So sad.
“He has gotten c.o.c.ky!” someone murmured before turning to start cultivating again.
“He has indeed gotten c.o.c.ky,” someone else said. Dou Zhao could have dueled with anyone, so why did he have to go for Ye Futian?
Wasn’t he asking for it?
Did he not know his level after going through the Divine Tribulation of the Great Path?
“Little Condor, you can duel with Dou Zhao when you have time,” Ye Futian’s voice said in the void.
“Okay!” Condor Sama had flown over from somewhere. He transformed into a giant bird and dove straight towards Dou Zhao. Soon, there were some huge booms and pained cries. One could vaguely make out pleas of “I’m sorry.”
Ye Futian saw all of this. He opened his eyes now and looked up into the sky. His plane was getting stronger and stronger, but he still had not had any tangible changes. The third divine tribulation still had not come.
But in reality, his cultivation now was incomparable to how it had been. He could feel that he was much stronger.
Would he reach the Near-G.o.d Plane?
Ye Futian was even thinking about what kind of plane the Near-G.o.d Plane was. It was originally a plane of void. It was known as the path they must cross to become a Great Emperor and the ultimate door they would pa.s.s into.
However, his cultivation was different from the others. He was still stuck at the pinnacle of the Renhuang Plane at present. Even though he had gone through two divine tribulations, he still had not become a tribulation cultivator like the others.
His tribulations were different from the others.
This was why Ye Futian was thinking and even doubting a bit.
“Dou Zhao is begging for mercy. Won’t you let Little Condor release him?” Hua Jieyu said with a smile as she walked over.
“That guy deserves a beating. Little Condor can spark his bloodthirstiness and give him some motivation,” Ye Futian said with a laugh. He trolled Dou Zhao purposely for disturbing his cultivation.
“He indeed deserves it. You were frustrated about cultivation, and he disturbed you,” Hua Jieyu said. “However, you should not be too impatient. Cultivation has no instant success. Instead, it takes time. Once you comprehend enough of a plane, you will naturally break down the walls. It is just that your cultivation is special, so your walls are higher than the others, but your abilities are stronger too.”
en
“Yes.” Ye Futian nodded. “Overthinking without comprehension is indeed meaningless.”
“Do what you can to the best of your abilities, and what should come will come naturally at the right time,” Hua Jieyu continued.
“I understand.” Ye Futian nodded and continued to cultivate. He entered a state of complete focus. The moment he started cultivating, he put away all other thoughts and entered his world to see his true self clearly.
Time pa.s.sed unknowingly. Ye Futian was immersed in his own cultivation.
That day, many people in the territory controlled by the Ye Imperial Palace looked up to the sky. There were strands of shocking aura in the void. They all looked up to the sky and then saw a group of strong cultivators descend from the sky. This group was clearly from different parties, but all the parties’ auras were frightening to the max.
“Who are they?” The hearts of the cultivators were all racing. These auras were exceedingly frightening, especially the few at the front. Like G.o.ds, their gazes swept across the ground with disdain, as if they were looking at ants.
Those gazes made many cultivators feel extremely uncomfortable. In fact, some even sensed danger. Before they could react, a destructive bolt of golden lightning appeared in the sky. It traveled across the high sky, containing the incredible intent of destruction.
Then one of the strong figures pointed downward with a finger. The destructive golden lightning instantly swept down murderously like it meant to destroy the world. The many people were shocked immediately, and they hurried towards the distance, wanting to escape.
But that destructive golden lightning seemed to contain Divine Power. Every cultivator it hit was instantly turned to dust. They could not resist at all and died tragically under the golden lightning.
The ground split apart, and terrifying cracks opened up. The golden lightning continued spreading into the distance as if the ground had broken apart.
The cultivators in this vast s.p.a.ce started fleeing madly. The destructive aura in the sky above their heads was still there, and they all felt a dangerous intent.
These people had come with the intent of murder.
“Run!”
“Notify Palace Lord Ye!” someone yelled. They seemed to want to ask Palace Lord Ye for help, but as soon as he finished speaking, a golden bolt of lightning struck his body. His entire body disappeared under the golden lightning, and his soul was scattered. He did not even have a corpse left.
The group of cultivators looked at the Ye Imperial Palace in the distance, and their eyes were filled with scorn, along with a murderous aura.
Notify the Ye Imperial Palace?
There was no hurry. They had come to destroy the Ye Imperial Palace. Everything would end today.
The Ye Imperial Palace and Ziwei Segmentum would become history.
This was not Ye Futian’s era. He never had an era. He was only a talented junior who had fallen before he could fully rise up. So what if he was extremely talented? What could he change?
They came today, representing the G.o.d of
death.
Boom…
Countless huge palmprints fell from the sky. Nothing survived in their paths. Everyone was killed instantly under the attacks of the palmprints, and huge dents from the palms appeared on the ground.
Everyone was fleeing wildly, but the moment that disaster came, they could only pray. The destructive blows kept raining down as if the reaper had come to this land.
“Who is wreaking havoc here?” Beautiful divine light of the Great Path flowed in from the distance. It was the cultivators of the Ziwei Imperial Palace hurrying over. They were the ones who had joined the Ziwei Imperial Palace before, and now, many of them had reached the pinnacle of the Renhuang Plane. Their hearts trembled after feeling the destructive intent too. These people were extremely frightening, but they must come to stop them. Of course, they had also notified the Ye Imperial Palace.
As soon as they finished speaking, a destructive divine formation appeared in the sky. Then disparaging sword intent rained down, creating endless stabbing sounds. They did not even have the time to yell out in pain before dying tragically under the attacks. They could not even think of resistance.
Right now, this place was like h.e.l.l on earth. No one knew how many cultivators had died in an instant. This cruel and cold-blooded bloodshed had not happened on the Ruins Continent in many years, but it had happened here today.
en
Many people felt despair. They could not even flee, but the strong cultivators did not seem to care about their lives. The murder was only done offhandedly.
They traveled directly across the sky. Everywhere they pa.s.sed, countless people were turned to dust. Their goal was the Ye Imperial Palace.
These top figures had come for the Ye Imperial Palace-to destroy the Ye Imperial Palace!
