Chapter 2605: To the Devil Imperial Palace

More and more cultivators appeared inside the Devil Imperial Palace, but still, no one responded.

And, he had to consider whether or not the Devil Emperor was someone that could be seen by him whenever he wanted.

Ye Futian stood in the void as he raised his head to look at the towering Devil Imperial Palace before him. Then, he took a step forward and walked higher into the sky.

In the world of the Devil Gate, strength was everything. If the Devil Emperor were not going to receive him, he would have to be creative in finding a way to see him.

Boom! Before that Devil Gate, the powers of those cultivators on either side were full of horrific demonic prowess, as overbearing demonic shadows appeared, pressing in on Ye Futian’s location.

Bang! Ye Futian took a sudden and violent step into the sky. When his footstep fell, the divine light of the Great Path swept out. It contained a terrifying power. Those demonic cultivators blocking in front of the Devil Gate were knocked back. However, they weren’t Injured but merely gave way to his advance.

He came to the Devil Imperial Palace in hopes of an audience with the Devil Emperor. Still, he was not so arrogant to think that he could penetrate the Devil Imperial Palace so easily. Obviously, he was not here to hurt anyone. His purpose was only to ask for an audience.

Yu Sheng had angered the Devil Emperor, and there was nothing Ye Futian could do to save Yu Sheng. The only way to save Yu Sheng was either for the Devil Emperor to change his mind or for Yu Sheng to compromise.

After he repelled the cultivators who guarded the Devil Gate, Ye Futian continued to walk high in the sky. He did not attempt to cross using Buddha’s Celerity. This was the Devil Imperial Palace, and using such a method would not work. He could only hope to win their respect with his true strength.

The Devil Imperial Palace towered high in the sky. Its true height was obscured. As he made his way up, he had to cross one chasm after the other. The lower area alone was populated by mighty hordes of demonic cultivators, much like a demonic army serving as the first line of defense. They appeared above Ye Futian, and none of them was weak in their cultivation; they were all in the realm of demonic emperors.

And these were just the cultivators at the feet of the Devil Imperial Palace.

In the void, the demonic might had overwhelmed this corner of the world. A terrifying aura came swooping down on Ye Futian as many demonic soldiers launched their attacks simultaneously at him. However, Ye Futian was wrapped up in the divine light, and as those attacks landed on his body, they did not affect him at all. His entire person was submerged by the power of the attack, but he didn’t move an inch.

As he continued upward, all the attacks were shattered. Ye Futian twitched his mind slightly, and the vast s.p.a.ce immediately solidified. All the demonic cultivators now felt it was difficult to move their bodies. It was as if they were frozen and that the s.p.a.ce they were in was a prison.

Ye Futian continued to walk up, pa.s.sing through this mighty army of the Demon Emperor. A terrifying divine might swept out, and everyone was pushed back.

“Ye Futian asks to speak with the Demon Emperor.” A sound rolled in the sky as Ye Futian looked up. The sky was dark and heavy. Cultivators appeared in different locations throughout the Devil Imperial Palace. The higher he went, the more terrifying the cultivators seemed to become.

Of course, with his realm today, even in the Devil Imperial Palace, there were not many who could really deter him.

After all, he was now able to single-handedly kill someone like the Mountain Master of Celestial Worthy Mountain, who was a cultivator of the Second Tribulation Plane.

As Ye Futian continued to move upward into the sky, 72 demon emperors appeared in front of him. Even Ye Futian had felt that monstrous aura from them along with a strong oppressive force.

These 72 demonic emperors seemed to form a terrifying battle matrix, as the figure of an incomparable demon appeared above Ye Futian. He made a trampling motion directly towards Ye Futian, and a horrific roar violently rocked the s.p.a.ce.

However, the divine light surrounded Ye Futian as his figure turned into a flash of light. He raised his hand and attacked with a single finger. His body morphed into a sword as he continued his forward movement and penetrated the giant foot stomping down on him. The sword continued to penetrate through the body of the demonic shadow and pierced it in an instant, reappearing in the sky above.

“How strong!” In the distance, the cultivators outside the Devil Imperial Palace looked up at the situation above, and they were extremely shocked.

Ye Futian of the Original Realm had come this far, wanting to penetrate the Devil Imperial Palace, all for a chance to see the Devil Emperor.

This was far too insane.

The group who attempted the interception just now seemed to be from the 72 Tiangang division within the Devil Imperial Palace, which had several incredibly powerful existences. Nevertheless, they were unable to stop Ye Futian in the least because his strength had crushed them.

“Ye Futian asks for an audience with the Devil Emperor.”

That voice was heard again. It was extremely dreadful and made many cultivators’ hearts beat wildly. It was as if he would not stop until the Devil Emperor received him in person.

Above the Devil Imperial Palace, many people retreated and did not bother intercepting Ye Futian, who was continuing upward. They knew that unless they were Tribulation Plane cultivators, it was useless to try to stop him—there was simply no way for them to stop Ye Futian from advancing.

Ye Futian made his way up, pa.s.sing by many cultivators.

Now that the Devil World was declaring war on the Divine Prefecture, many cultivators had been called out of the Devil Imperial Palace and went to the front to partic.i.p.ate in the war. There were not many left behind to guard the Devil Imperial Palace. After all, who would dare to attack the Devil Imperial Palace?

Even so, many powerful existences remained.

At this time, above Ye Futian, there were two great cultivators of the Tribulation Plane.

“Imperial Devil General and Crazy Devil General.”

In the distance on the outside, two powerful demonic cultivators hovered high in the sky, exuding tremendous auras. Everyone’s heart was beating wildly. These two great devil generals ranked second and fifth, respectively, and both were in the First Tribulation Plane. Imperial Devil General, especially, was already on his way to the second Divine Tribulation of the Great Path.

Even if it was such a peak force like the Devil Imperial Palace, there were not many cultivators in the Tribulation Plane, including the Imperial Palace in Divine Prefecture.

Those who had survived the Divine Tribulation of the Great Path were already standing at the top of the pyramid. As for those who had survived the Second Divine Tribulation of the Great Path, they were considered giants in all of the worlds. Even when they established their own princ.i.p.alities outside, they would be regarded as giant-level forces.

There were hundreds of millions of living souls in the 18 domains of the Divine Prefecture, but there were very few who had survived the Second Divine Tribulation of the Great Path. On the record, there was only one such person in all of the Ancient G.o.d Clans.

In the Devil World, cultivators of Tribulation Plane, or the Devil Generals, or a personal disciple of the Devil Emperor himself, or some even more n.o.ble characters inside the Devil Imperial Palace, were typically existences who were not out and about in the world, like the old demon who had been protecting Yu Sheng.

The real power within those deity-level princ.i.p.alities, in fact, lay with those little-known existences who were well-hidden.

Therefore, as far as all the major worlds were concerned, Ye Futian’s current strength was already at the very top.

Boom… A series of terrifying black lightning emerged like terrifying demonic tribulation. It carried with it a supremely destructive power. The Crazy Devil General stood above Ye Futian, some madness in his eyes as he bathed in the light of the demonic tribulation. His appearance was frightening beyond words.

Around the Imperial Devil General, horrific demonic shadows appeared, as if all the demons of this world were under his command with an extremely domineering force.

An overpowering divine light bloomed from Ye Futian’s body as he swept towards the two great devil generals. Those who once stood high and mighty above the world now appeared common in his eyes. How could the cultivators in the First Tribulation Plane do anything to stop him?

Boom! Hundreds of thousands of demonic tribulations swept down, blasting on Ye Futian’s divine body. However, as Ye Futian was bathing in it, he was unmoved. Instead, his body bounding towards the sky above, as a shocking and audible booming was heard from him. His momentum was most audacious as he launched a fist at the Crazy Devil General.

There was a terrible loud noise, and this punch seemed to have all the power that could destroy the Great Path. The demonic tribulation danced wildly, and the Crazy Devil General flew back.

Soon, Ye Futian turned around as he dealt another punch at the Imperial Devil General; it was overpowering and direct.

The fist will pierced through the void and shattered all the demons who were summoned. As they lay in a pile of dust, the Imperial Devil General suffered a similar fate. He was knocked back by a punch that he simply could not have stopped.

After he repelled the two great Devil Generals, Ye Futian continued upward. He looked up at the sky above the Devil Imperial Palace and said again, “Ye Futian asks for an audience with the Devil Emperor.”

He was now at the highest point of the Devil Imperial Palace, and many characters with extraordinary temperaments were right in front of him. Their cultivation levels were different. There were Upper Demonic Emperors as well as Demonic Emperors of Tribulation Plane, but they were all young. They were the disciples of the Devil Emperor.

“Stay back,” said a voice from above the sky, asking them to stand down.

Everyone in the Devil Imperial Palace understood that unless someone at the giant-level were to make a move, no one else could stop Ye Futian.

No doubt, the Devil Imperial Palace had other ways to prevent Ye Futian from going any further—they could even directly kill him off—but Ye Futian had gotten inside the Devil Imperial Palace with his own strength, so how could the Devil Imperial Palace use other less honorable means?

A figure appeared in front of Ye Futian, and it was none other than the one who had spoken before and made the others stop.

It was a woman clad in a flaming red garment with flaming red lips. Her long hair was flying wildly in the wind. She appeared quite enchanting to those who beheld her presence.

“Second Protector!”

When the cultivators inside the Devil Imperial Palace saw the woman’s appearance, their hearts palpitated. Above the Nine Devil Generals in the Devil Imperial Palace, there were also Four Great Protectors under the direct command of the Devil Emperor. The Eight Devil Generals defended on the outside, while the Four Great Protectors ensure the safety within. Although there was no obvious difference in their ranks, the fact remained that the status of the Four Great Protectors was a bit higher.

Their cultivation was also much greater.

Among them, the First Protector and the Second Protector had both survived the Second Tribulation of the Great Path.

As for the Eight Great Devil Generals, only the first Devil General was a cultivator who had survived the Second Tribulation of the Great Path.

In the Devil Imperial Palace, the Three Great Demon Sages, the Four Great Protectors, and the Eight Great Devil Generals were the cultivators of the highest level known in the entire Devil Imperial Palace.

Normally, the Four Great Protectors did not leave the Devil Imperial Palace .

The woman who appeared before them was the Second Protector of the Devil Imperial Palace. Her cultivation level was monstrous, and she had survived the Second Divine Tribulation of the Great Path.

The female protector in red stood in the sky above Ye Futian, and there was an indistinct aura that may or may not have been released from her, releasing an invisible coercion. Even someone as strong as Ye Futian could still feel a trace of pressure from her.

This woman was stronger than the Mountain Master of Celestial Worthy Mountain and the clan lord of Mo whom he had slain. This was the top cultivator of the Devil Imperial Palace.

Normally, she was probably a rare existence, and not many from the outside world would have even known about her.

But at this moment, she was standing right in front of him!
