Chapter 2621: Still Lacking?

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

When the members of the Devil Imperial Palace heard the Devil Emperors words, they were shocked. Their G.o.d, who they held in high regard, was actually making a joke?

However, existences such as Donghuang Diyuan and Ye Futian were indeed strong enough to catch the Devil Emperors eye. They were the most outstanding figures of the next generation.

Ye Futian did not find this strange. Before this, the Devil Emperor had already revealed such sinister ideas. Ye Futian did not know what the Devil Emperors thought process was like. He wanted Ye Futian and Donghuang Diyuan to get a room. If that happened, what would Donghuang the Greats stance be?

Ye Futian did not dare to do so. Now, regardless of what reason Donghuang the Great had, he had promised publicly not to touch Ye Futian. However, if Ye Futian slept with Donghuang Diyuan, it was hard to say whether Donghuang the Great would slaughter him in a fit of rage

What His Highness says is true. Princess, what do you say? said Ye Futian. His lips uttered words contrary to what he was thinking. He looked at Donghuang Diyuan and smiled as he said this.

This woman was cold, arrogant, and n.o.ble. She spoke without tact and was extremely rude. He did not mind teasing her a little.

Donghuang Diyuan saw that Ye Futian actually dared to respond to the words of the Devil Emperor. She swept an extremely cold glance at Ye Futian, even spewing out murderous aura. She stared at Ye Futian and said, Although my father promised not to kill you, dont think for a second that you need not worry. In the future, youd best not get caught by me.

As she said this, she immediately turned around and flew down. She had no intention of continuing to fight. After their battle, both sides understood that it was very difficult for either side to completely defeat the other. They were equal in almost every aspect.

Of course, they had not truly gone all out and used their strongest skills. If this was a real battlefield, no one knew what the outcome would be.

Princess, why dont you share your sorrows with me? I might be able to comfort you, said Ye Futian casually, ignoring Donghuang Diyuans threats. Since her words were sharp, he wanted to see whose words would be more damaging to the other.

The light of the golden divine flame flowed over Donghuang Diyuans body. She did not turn around and continued heading down, returning to the palace.

Ye Futians expression was indifferent. He similarly headed towards the palace. Werent they staying under the same roof?

This was still the Devil Imperial Palace. The Devil Emperor arranged Donghuang Diyuan to be grouped with Ye Futian and Yu Sheng. Donghuang Diyuan naturally would not wander about on her own. Although she knew the Devil Emperor would not touch her, she was also aware of her current status. She was a captive of the Devil Imperial Palace, not a guest.

After she returned to the palace, Donghuang Diyuan walked over to a secluded corner. She then sat down cross-legged, closed her eyes, and began to cultivate.

After Ye Futian landed, he came to Yu Shengs side. He then glanced at Donghuang Diyuan was.

Ye Futian had gained a lot of insights from this battle. He learned Donghuang Diyuans true combat ability. At the same time, he had a better understanding of his own ability. In terms of combat ability, he was most likely at Two Tribulation Plane. This would put him among the very top figures.

However, he was not invincible. There were many other strong cultivators in this plane. An example would be the person who captured Donghuang Diyuan.

Fang Ru, whom Ye Futian met in the past, was also a super cultivator who was akin to a demiG.o.d.

All the Great Emperor level forces surely did not lack cultivators who were at the same level as him.

The leaders of the top forces like Celestial Worthy Mountain Master were not a match for Ye Futian. However, the abilities of those giant-level figures from the Ancient G.o.d Clans still remained a mystery to him. For them to be able to command the Ancient G.o.d Clans, their abilities would surely not be any weaker than that of Ye Futian. He wondered whether their abilities were on par with Fang Rus.

He would need to test them out before he could tell for sure.

Yu Sheng, Ye Futian looked at Yu Sheng and said, We have successfully endured all the catastrophes. His Highness will most likely stop targeting us now. Its time for us to train.

After they experienced 49 catastrophes on the Demon Slaying Platform, their flesh and spiritual souls were refined, and they had grown more powerful. They should train harder now to fortify their cultivation.

Hmm. Yu Sheng nodded in agreement. They were lucky to be able to survive the catastrophes. After this experience, he had a deeper understanding of Demonic Power.

Ye Futian patted Yu Sheng on the shoulder. He wanted to say something, but in the end, he held his tongue.

The things that the Devil Emperor had shown them and the conversation he had with them still had a great impact on Ye Futian.

Cultivators in the world sought to reach the pinnacle of martial arts. They trained frenziedly and attempted to prove their Way at the highest level, not knowing that even if they managed to reach that step with exceptional talent, they would still have to undergo another tribulation. The last tribulation would be to get the recognition of all the Great Emperors alive today.

There were currently six Great Emperors in the world. Their relations.h.i.+ps with each other were complex and formed a delicate balance.

The birth of a new Emperor might disrupt the worlds balance. Only by preserving this delicate equilibrium of power could one remain on their throne securely.

Ye Futian had a vendetta with Donghuang the Great. Being born in the Original Realm, the Devil Emperor claimed that Ye Futian might become an Emperor. However, it was merely a possibility. After all, Ye Futians ident.i.ty was still a very sensitive issue.

Yu Sheng was similarly a dangerous individual due to him being one with the Devil Emperor.

It was certainly the same for Donghuang Diyuan. There was the prior example of Emperor Ye Qing.

Although all the cultivators of the various major Imperial Palaces sought the path of the Emperor, if they truly managed to reach the Imperial Realm, they would most likely be in danger. Even so, the path of the Great Emperor was still the life goal of all cultivators. Countless cultivators attempted to seek this path.

On the contrary, cultivators who were not with the major Imperial Palaces, such as those from the Ancient G.o.d Clans or other top forces, were safe even if they became Great Emperors. They would not offset the balance; hence, their existences as Great Emperors were fine.

After all, if a Great Emperor really emerged from the Ancient G.o.d Clans, they would surely not be of one mind with Donghuang the Great. Instead, they would form their own world and no longer obey Donghuang the Greats command.

The other Great Emperors would most likely go against Yu Sheng if he became a Great Emperor. Only one could exist between Yu Sheng and the Devil Emperor. Judging from what the Devil Emperor said before, he would most likely hand over the throne to Yu Sheng.

However, in return, Yu Sheng needed to be responsible for the welfare of the entire Devil World and withstand the catastrophes of the Devil Abyss.

Obviously, Ye Futian did not wish to see Yu Sheng shoulder the catastrophes of the Devil Abyss and suffer from endless pain. Nevertheless, it was too early to consider all these now.

In the next few days, Ye Futian and Yu Sheng cultivated quietly in the Devil Imperial Palace. Donghuang Diyuan also cultivated under the same roof as them, but she spoke very little. She was immersed in her meditation. She seemed to be well aware of her ident.i.ty as a hostage.

On this day, divine light suddenly lit up the sky above the Devil Imperial Palace. Dazzling light illuminated the entire palace.

In the heavens above, divine light shone down, causing the cultivators in the palace to all look up in awe. Who had come to pay a visit?

The Devil Emperor appeared above the Demon G.o.d Palace. With his hands behind his back, he raised his head and looked at the sky. His black robes fluttered in the wind, and he appeared domineering. His figure emanated the aura of a ruler of the heavens and the earth.

A silhouette showed up in front of the Devil Emperor. Sensing his arrival, both Ye Futian and Yu Sheng s.h.i.+fted their attention towards the sky. Their hearts trembled. Donghuang Diyuan also paused her cultivation. She stood up and looked in the direction of the visitor.

Donghuang the Great is here! Ye Futian exclaimed. This was his second time encountering the king of the Divine Prefecture.

Its been many years since we last met. Devil Emperor, how are you doing? greeted Donghuang the Great as he stood in the sky and looked at the figure on top of the Demon G.o.d Palace. His voice was calm, as though he was greeting an old friend.

Donghuang, what brings you to my Devil Imperial Palace? the Devil Emperor asked deliberately.

My daughter has stayed here for quite a while. Thank you for taking care of her. But I think its time for me to bring her back so that she doesnt disturb your cultivation, Donghuang the Great responded. He was obviously here to bring his daughter back.

She is a prisoner of war. I did not mistreat her out of my respect for you. But do you think you can leave this place with her by just uttering a few words? the Devil Emperor questioned.

I owe you a favor. In the future, when the opportunity arises, Ill return the favor, Donghuang the Great said.

At their level, they would not act recklessly even though they were opponents. If they killed the other partys descendent, they would have gone too far, and it would have triggered a ma.s.sacre.

Hence, both the Great Emperors were very cautious not to act hastily.

How will you return the favor? the Devil Emperor said.

Devil Emperor, feel free to state your request if you have one, Donghuang the Great said.

I have not decided on one now. I will inform you when I have made up my mind, the Devil Emperor replied.

Alright. Donghuang the Great nodded.

You may bring your daughter back, the Devil Emperor said right away. He accepted Donghuang the Greats promise readily, not worrying that the latter would go against his own word.

Even though they were enemies, they were very familiar with each other. They also trusted each other.

Many thanks. Donghuang the Great nodded. Then, he looked towards Donghuang Diyuan. She rose to the sky and came to where Donghuang the Great was.

Father, Donghuang Diyuan greeted.

Lets go home, Donghuang the Great said. Donghuang Diyuan nodded in agreement. Before she left, she turned around and cast a glance at the palace. At this moment, Ye Futian, who was in the Devil Imperial Palace, could clearly sense that she was looking at him.

From the looks of it, this woman was the type that would keep score in a relations.h.i.+p.

Donghuang the Great and Donghuang Diyuan disappeared in the blink of an eye and left the Devil Imperial Palace.

After they left, the Devil Emperor appeared in the palace where Yu Sheng and Ye Futian were. He cast an indifferent glance at them and said, Even after spending so much time together, you did not manage to win the maidens heart. It seems like you guys are still lacking.

Stupefied, Ye Futian stared at the Devil Emperor. He felt that he had been insulted.

The Devil Emperor said to Ye Futian, Since she has left, you should leave too. The troops of the Devil World will not touch the Original Realm!
