Ye Futian saw the fighters not saying anything and knew that they probably were speculating something. The circ.u.mstances that led him to flee the Origin Realm were rather peculiar, and that those kinds of attacks would have definitely killed him, after all.

However, given that it was a chance given by Princess Donghuang, none of them would dare to say anything about it even if they knew.

“The Origin Realm is now in peril. Are you all here to ask for another fight?” Ye Futian looked at them and said, “This time, I won’t be fighting like I have a death wish, as I did 20 years ago.”

They all wore concerned expressions on their faces. Ye Futian hadn’t been fighting with a death wish back then; he knew that he would be able to escape.

They all knew that things were different on that day. If they were to dare kill Ye Futian, the alliance of the Heavenly Mandate Academy might probably go all out.

Furthermore, the academy’s lineup seemed to have gotten even more powerful, with two more t.i.tans added to the roster.

It was also a given that their powers saw some change as well, yet if they were to go all out with the academy, they would be put in a dangerous spot all the same. If a battle of such levels were to break out again, there would probably be no turning back from it.

It was just as how Ye Futian put it. The Origin Realm was in peril, and the dark forces now had their eyes on the realm. If they were to go out to destroy the academy’s alliance and ended up damaged in the battle, they would most probably meet their doom all the same and wouldn’t be able to survive the tumultuous times.

It was especially so for those native forces without any backing from the Upper Worlds. If both parties were to fight right there and then, one party would definitely be snuffed out. Without such threats around, their own alliance would fall apart all the same, as none of them have any delusions about their own alliance. If they were to get into any trouble in that battle, the clan forces would probably end up doomed in those tumultuous times.

As such, despite having come en ma.s.se, they had in truth realized that things at present were different altogether from how things were 20 years ago.

Furthermore, it was said that Ye Futian had backing from the Upper Worlds and that legendary Four Corner Village seemed to have a super-powerful mysterious figure among them.

With the Hierophant of Mithraism killed, news spread, and the forces had already looked into Ye Futian before they came.

The leader of the Shen Clan stepped out, and a terrifying spatial storm swept out. Terrifying fissures of the Great Path appeared around the Heavenly Mandate Academy, which looked like an abyss. If he were to attack the academy right there and then, the academy would be destroyed on the spot.

After Ye Futian’s “death” back then, they had promised Princess Donghuang never again to meddle with things in the Origin Realm, which was why they behaved somewhat the whole time.

Before Ye Futian’s return, they had initially thought of wearing down the powers of the Heavenly Mandate Academy slowly, putting pressure on the academy from all sides and causing the academy to eventually fall apart in the chaotic storms of Origin Realm. They had almost achieved what they set out to do by then. Lord Taixuan had been severely injured, and they only had to wait for some years for the alliance of the academy to fall apart.

Yet, Ye Futian returned at such a time, and those people who left with Princess Donghuang had all returned as well.

Furthermore, the first thing he did when he returned was to kill the hierophant of Mithraism, alerting the many cultivation forces instantly.

Ye Futian and the others had been able to kill a cultivation force with a cultivator at perfect peak level Renhuang Realm, which meant that if things would be just as dire even if they were to target just one or two of those people.

Given that Ye Futian had returned alive, the promise they made with Princess Donghuang was naturally nullified, with both parties capable of going at each other’s throats.

The pressure remained, and there was only silence. The entire Heavenly Mandate City was in an extremely stifling atmosphere, so much so that countless cultivators in the city dared not even breathe loudly.

“If you all were to insist on fighting, then please make your move. If you’re not out to fight, then what are you all doing at the Heavenly Mandate Academy?” Lord Taixuan emerged and addressed those would-be invaders. While one could tell that he was weakened just from his voice, yet the tone he used was, nonetheless, stern.

20 years pa.s.sed, and things would no longer be like how they had been 20 years ago. If they were to fight again, it would be their last stand.

If the other party were to ask for a fight, then they would be getting one.

“Not only are you all here this time, but many at the Renhuang Realm are here as well. I guess that you’re not here to ask for a fight?” Ye Futian continued. If they were there at the academy to ask for a fight, they would have probably only let the t.i.tans do the work. Bringing the others at Renhuang Realm would only be getting in their way and do the supposed battle no good.

The outcome of that battle between both sides was only determined by those at the very top, after all.

The others were able to see that those formidable ones had joined hands to lean on the academy, yet everyone nonetheless knew that things at present were indeed different from how things were 20 years ago.

Furthermore, they all sensed that while they were standing off at the moment, extremely powerful wills scanned the place on and off. That was the sign of top-notch cultivators watching how things were going at the battlefield, and they naturally knew who was watching.

In the Heavenly Mandate Realm at the moment, there was more than just the alliance surrounding the Heavenly Mandate Academy; there were also the top-notch dark forces.

Those people were watching intently as well.

If they could join hands, they wouldn’t mind allying with those people to destroy the Heavenly Mandate Academy, but they dared not to do so. It was a ma.s.sive taboo for them to ally with the dark forces out in the open to snuff out a force from the Divine Prefecture, and doing so would probably invoke the Imperial Palace’s wrath. They naturally knew about that much, so even if they were to have such intentions, they would have to do so in secret, using each other just like how it had been before.

If they were not there to ask for a fight, showing up en ma.s.se would naturally mean that they were there as a show of might. They were concerned that the Heavenly Mandate Academy would take them on just like how they did Mithraism, which was why they gathered their allies from all those years ago to pressure the academy.

They needed to send a message to the academy at least, telling them that if they were to dare do anything, the allied forces would come down on the academy at any given moment, and a battle would break out.

At present, both sides had a lot more to be concerned about than they had before.

“I heard that you’ve made yourself quite famous in the Shangqing Domain. You’re the only person capable of learning from the corpse of Great Emperor Shenjia, I presume?” a cultivator at the Renhuang Realm asked. That person was not one of the t.i.tans but was one from the Holy Land of Taichu. His bearing was formidable, and he carried himself with powerful confidence. There was a tinge of his intent to do combat when he looked down at Ye Futian.

That cultivator was said to be very renowned and had been quite influential in the Origin Realm. The many t.i.tans in the Origin Realm were actually all gathered there because of him alone, and that itself spoke of Ye Futian’s importance.

Is he really as exceptional as he is rumored to be?

Just how powerful are his talents?

Ye Futian looked up at that man, and he totally didn’t expect that a Renhuang Realm figure from the Holy Land of Taichu would come out to ask questions. He, naturally, was able to sense the pointedness of the look in the other party’s eyes. He then replied, “Indeed.”

“The number one genius who shook the Origin Realm. I’d like to see how powerful you are today.” That fighter didn’t waste any more time talking. He stepped out right away onto the battlefield. Towering aura washed all over the place with frightening might.

That man was from the Holy Land of Taichu and was a formidable Renhuang Realm being in that holy land. He had made his name for many years and was perfection at level six of the Great Path. It was not every day that he made his move, and his focus was on his own training. He wanted to break the barriers of his level and made it to level seven.

He was not the only one, as there were others from the Holy Land of Taichu at the Renhuang Realm present. There were also such people at the side of the Solar Divine Palace, and all of them were eyeing Ye Futian.

However, since someone else had already made their move, they stood aside to see just how capable Ye Futian was.

Booom… That powerful cultivator from the Holy Land of Taichu stepped out and exerted his pressure. Terrifying waves of the Sky River swept all over the place, bringing about a towering might that was out to suppress all living beings.

The cultivators from the academy were naturally able to sense that terrifying might.

Yet, Ye Futian only took a casual look above him. Level six, at perfect Great Path. That meant that the man was considered quite powerful, and there were not many people at such levels, even at Shangqing Domain.

That man could indeed be considered a supreme cultivator.

Yet, someone of such level seemed to fail to have Ye Futian take them seriously all the same. He remained standing quietly after taking a look at the other man. He looked up and said, “If you’re out to test my might, I’ll tell you to give up. You’re not qualified enough to do so.”

That man was among the most powerful at the Renhuang Realm in the Holy Land of Taichu. He had supreme powers, yet to Ye Futian, the man was not qualified enough to test his mettle.

That was insolence unlike any other, and such powerful beings from the Holy Land of Taichu had never been belittled like this before.

A terrifying storm of Great Path erupted right away. The academy seemed to have been put under a hurricane. The disciples of the academy all grunted and felt like they were about to be crushed under the pressure of that terrifying might of the Great Path. However, a formless pressure then supported them and stopped that opposing might above the air.

Ye Futian was the only one who stepped out and submitted himself to experience that terrifying might from the other party in earnest.

He was all confident and leisurely when he stepped out, walking totally unfazed.

The storm came down in an instant, and the terrifying storm of the Great Path tore through the s.p.a.ce. The other man continued to come lower, and every step he made become even more terrifying.

Ye Futian remained unflinching and took a cold stare at him. As a palm attack came down from that terrifying storm, Ye Futian charged at the eye of that storm, completely ignoring the power of the storm of Great Path.

“How insolent!” the other man shouted angrily and turned the storm into his own field, stacking of terrifying attacks like it was doomsday, and he out to destroy the world.

However, he saw an incredibly dazzling figure zipping through those terrifying attacks of his right away. It was as if that dazzling figure had just ignored all that powers thrown at him. That dazzling figure made it past that frightening storm and appeared right before him.

A rumbling was heard, and that sound seemed to have emanated from Ye Futian’s own body. His lifted his arm and threw a single punch. That powerful cultivator at Renhuang Realm from the Holy Land of Taichu was blasted away before everyone’s eyes.
