Chapter 2928: Advent
Divine Light beamed from the sky of a city in the Human Realm while an intangible power rested on the crowd there.
The voice of the Human Ancestor brimmed with a mysterious power that created a resonance with everyone in the realm. Instantly, a hint of hostility flashed across their eyes. They were overwhelmed with the itch to charge toward the Heavenly Realm and the Divine Prefecture to exterminate the Heavenly Emperor, Ye Futian.
A voice reverberated in their minds as they raised their heads to stare at the face of the Human Ancestor with anger. “We shall storm the Heavenly Imperial Palace to slaughter Ye Futian and unite the Seven Realms!”
“We will join you in your conquest, Human Ancestor!”
“We will join you in your conquest, Human Ancestor!” Similar voices echoed throughout the vast continent. All of them were willing to fight alongside the Human Ancestor to establish a new Heavenly Law.
According to the narration of the Human Ancestor, Ye Futian was a villain who had committed crimes against humanity. Meanwhile, the former represented absolute justice.
…
In no time at all, Ye Futian returned to the ninety-nine heavens of the Heavenly Realm.
Ye Futian arrived above the heavenly palace together with Donghuang the Great and Hua Jieyu. The Great Emperors like Yu Tu, Gu Dongliu, and the others came to the top of the heavenly palace to welcome the three of them back.
“How was everything?” the String Emperor asked. He finally felt a little relieved after seeing his young master’s safe return. After all, the former Heavenly Emperor and the Sovereign Princess had lost their lives to the Human Ancestor. Thus, all of them had intense animosity toward their nemesis, the Human Ancestor.
The expressions on Ye Futian and Donghuang the Great’s faces turned solemn. Then the former turned to look at the latter and questioned, “Father, what do you think of this?”
“There is a high likelihood that the Human Ancestor refined the Human Realm,” Donghuang the Great replied.
All the cultivators peered at Donghuang the Great in confusion. Shortly after, the latter said, “The Human Ancestor had created his Law of the Great Path. While I’m only coating the law of my own around the Divine Prefecture, the Human Ancestor had gone beyond that level. He had refined the entire Human Realm and changed the Law of the Great Path in that realm completely. In short, the whole realm will be under the dominion of his will.”
“Does that mean the Human Ancestor can exert his manipulation directly onto the cultivators of the Human Realm?” Ye Futian queried. He had felt a threatening aura there previously. When the Human Ancestor spoke to everyone in the Human Realm, a resonance was created. His words had turned into the power of emotions and affected all the cultivators there.
“Yeah.” Donghuang the Great nodded. “The Human Ancestor must have cultivated some unique Divine Power of the Law. So, he had been refining and a.s.similating with that realm all these years. In the end, he became the world itself, and all the cultivators inside will be controlled by him. As you mentioned earlier, the said resonance could allow him to exert his influence directly onto all sentient beings, including the cultivators there.”
“In other words, a whole continent of the cultivators in the Human Realm will fight for the Human Ancestor once the war starts.” The String Emperor frowned and continued, “Why did he insist on starting this war?”
...
“I guess that has to do with his cultivation.” Donghuang the Great’s expression turned grim. “I’m afraid a war on a bigger scale will be unavoidable.”
There were six legions in the ninety-nine heavens at that moment. Still, Ye Futian hoped to prevent the war from breaking out but not starting one. It would be better if the Great Emperors could settle the conflict among themselves.
However, things had already gotten out of hand. What he had wished for before would never happen.
“When I launched an attack at the Human Ancestor earlier, the impact of the strike did not feel like flesh and blood but a complete world. It looks like the Human Ancestor’s defense in the Human Realm is made up of the entire realm’s force. So, it will be hard to inflict any real damage to him.” Ye Futian recalled the details of the clash with the Human Ancestor earlier. To his surprise, he could not break through the latter’s defense even with his strongest offense. Following that, he was repelled and left the Human Divine Palace.
“Mm.” Donghuang the Great nodded. “Since the Human Ancestor refined the Human Realm, that whole domain will become his world where he is the strongest. But once he leaves there, he will be weakened to a certain extent. That must be why he had never left the Human Realm but had been dispatching his exterior incarnation outside.”
Ye Futian bowed his head. His expedition to the Human Realm this time had helped him gauge the situation of the Human Divine Palace.
The exterior incarnation of the Human Ancestor had the strength of the Six Great Emperors. Nevertheless, he was even more powerful in the Human Realm. He was already invincible when he did not fully recover yet. Just how mighty would he become after his complete recovery?
The other Ancient Emperors were at the level of the Six Great Emperors, which could be compared to the Super Great Emperor.
He had confidence that he could take down the Super Great Emperor cultivators without breaking a sweat already.
Rumble. Ye Futian and the others felt a violent shaking while they were having a conversation.
In fact, all the cultivators in the ninety-nine heavens could feel that intense tremor. Then they lifted their heads to look at the sky.
What just happened?
Ye Futian looked into a distant location of the ninety-nine heavens. In no time, he noticed a hole torn open in the sky. It was perforated by a matchless Divine Power.
“What is going on?” Everyone immediately looked at Ye Futian.
“The Human Ancestor is opening a s.p.a.ce pa.s.sage to the Heavenly Realm,” Ye Futian stated as he stared into the distance with an expressionless look. After the s.p.a.ce pa.s.sage was built to its completion, a ma.s.sive Door of s.p.a.ce could be seen appearing in the sky, which connected two different points in s.p.a.ce-time.
At the same time, a similar towering s.p.a.ce pa.s.sage showed up in the Land of the Divine Prefecture from the Human Realm.
The same s.p.a.ce pa.s.sage appeared even in the Western Heaven World of Buddhism.
The same thing happened even in the skies of the Empty Divine Realm, the Devil World, and the Dark World.
There was a great commotion all around the Seven Realms. All the cultivators raised their heads and gazed at the s.p.a.ce pa.s.sages from different locations. In that instant, they knew a great change had already taken place.
The fact that the Human Ancestor opened the s.p.a.ce pa.s.sages that connected the Seven Realms would mean that he wanted to start the War of the Seven Realms. No matter who they were, no one could escape from it.
In the Devil World, the cultivators of the Devil Imperial Palace gaped at a distant location while the Devil Abyss was roaring violently. They saw a spatial portal pierced through the Devil Abyss with an overwhelming Divine Power.
Meanwhile, the silhouette of the Devil Emperor could be seen at the peak of the Devil Imperial Palace as he looked at that source of the ruckus. He did not let the people of the Devil World join the war because he was secretly helping his people to improve their cultivation level.
Still, everything happened so quickly to the point that he could not even react to it.
In just one year, there was a radical change in the world.
A short while ago, Ye Futian had invaded the Human Divine Palace. The strength that he had displayed was clearly above the likes of the Six Great Emperors. In his battle with the Human Ancestor, the latter had exhibited his almighty abilities as well.
Nonetheless, the improvement of the Devil Emperor’s cultivation after one year was unremarkable. Yu Sheng was the only person with an impressive breakthrough at his cultivation level. It should be accredited to Ye Futian, who had given Yu Sheng a Spatial Magical Item so that the latter could use it for his cultivation for the past years.
When Ye Futian first came to the Devil Imperial Palace back then, the Devil Emperor had only seen the former as a junior slowly making history. But he had never once expected to see his juniors not only make histories but also be playing leading roles.
The changes in the world were too fast for him to catch up.
“Devil Emperor!” the Human Ancestor called from the humungous Door of s.p.a.ce.
