Chapter 2633: Your Blood Will Pave the Way

Ye Futian's attention also drifted towards w.a.n.g Xiao. After all these years, w.a.n.g Xiao's cultivation became more frightening than ever, as he had already survived the Second Divine Tribulation of the Great Path.

Although many years had pa.s.sed since the contest at Alchemy City, it was rare for w.a.n.g Xiao to break through after all these years. Moreover, the person he was at present was very different from who he once was. His entire body was radiant; it was as if he was draped in an armor of golden flames.

w.a.n.g Xiao was much stronger than before and was no longer the same person that he was.

What has he been through? Ye Futian wondered, a little surprised. How did w.a.n.g Xiao manage to achieve such a ma.s.sive change?

Back then, w.a.n.g Xiao could not contend with him at all. However, today's w.a.n.g Xiao seemed to have caught up with him.

Behind w.a.n.g Xiao was the City Lord of Tianyan. His eyes were cold, and the murderous intent upon him was fierce than ever as he stared at Ye Futian.

Once upon a time, because Ye Futian's power was enough to slaughter cultivators in the Second Tribulation Plane, they had no choice but to retreat from the Original Realm. The six Ancient G.o.d Clans had failed in their joint efforts, and their defeat was a tremendous humiliation. However, today's w.a.n.g Xiao was no longer the w.a.n.g Xiao of yesteryear.

He had even arranged so that after this war, he would pa.s.s the position of the City Lord of Tianyan to w.a.n.g Xiao, and he would work behind the scene and manage everything for w.a.n.g Xiao.

It was Tianyan City's greatest desire to give rise to a great emperor. By then, Tianyan City may become a force of its own and be able to stand alone. They would no longer be ruled by the Divine Prefecture, and they may even be able to go and sack the land of the Original Realm.

Just because Donghuang the Great didn't make a move, it didn't mean that they wouldn't.

Naturally, the premise of all this was because Tianyan City had w.a.n.g Xiao, who had the quality of becoming the next great emperor!

"Ye Futian, you colluded with the Devil World and the Dark Court, and you fought against the Buddha Lord from the World of Buddhism, who pa.s.sed its methods to you. You are indeed an ingrate," The City Lord of Tianyan admonished in a cold tone. How could he miss this rare opportunity to add more fuels to the fire? He would seize any opportunity to make Ye Futian a bigger target, to alienate him from everyone else.

"He was once a cultivator from the Divine Prefecture, but now, not only has he betrayed the Divine Prefecture and lord over a domain of his own, he has even chased away cultivators of the Divine Prefecture from the land of the Original Realm. Before, everyone thought it was because of some deep-seated grievances he had with the Divine Prefecture, but now it seems that it is because he has colluded with the Devil World and the Dark World," another person added. Clearly, Ye Futian had offended many forces in the Divine Prefecture.

Furthermore, He was getting too much attention, and many cultivators were aching to see some mishaps befall Ye Futian.

"Our lord The Buddha was compa.s.sionate and taught him the way of Buddhism, but it is not meant for him to cause evil in this world; this is a sin, unfortunately, committed by Buddhism." A Great Buddha clasped his hands together, and the Light of Buddha gleamed upon him. This was also someone in the same camp as Tongchan Buddha Lord and was not so friendly to Ye Futian.

Ye Futian stood there, dumbfounded. He was just pa.s.sing through and came to check on the battlefield. He didn't expect that he would become a target of public hatred and that there were quite a lot of people who meant to do him harm.

He glanced at the City Lord of Tianyan, and there was a hint of contempt in his eyes. It was as if he loathed to lower himself to that level.

"It seems that Tianyan City has forgotten what happened in the past," Ye Futian said sarcastically. He continued, "As for my relations.h.i.+p with the World of Buddhism, I have already explained it very clearly. In my cultivation of Buddhism, I have always respected its teaching; this is why I treated these people in front of me with courtesy. However, some of them, under the pretense of Buddhism, seek revenge on every little transgression without tolerance. Whenever they open their mouths, it is to condemn the others, which is contrary to the teachings of Buddhism. I don't think they are fit to be called Buddhas. If they don't focus their energies on cultivating Buddhism and concentrate on self-examination, I am afraid these are the ones who will fall into the evil way and create disasters for millenniums to come."

"Preposterous!" Shenyan Buddha Lord lashed out coldly.

More and more cultivators began to gather around, and Shenyan Buddha Lord said, "This man is so insolent and arrogant, and disrespectful to boot. Now that he has colluded with the Devil World and the Dark World, shall we detain him here?"

All the cultivators stared at Ye Futian. There were many top personalities in their presence today who were all powerful giants in their own right.

With so many powerful existences, it was not impossible to detain Ye Futian.

Moreover, Shenyan Buddha Lord was an expert in divine eyes; even if Ye Futian wanted to escape by Buddha's Celerity, it would not be an easy task.

"As it should be." The City Lord of Tianyan was the first to respond. "If we allow him to leave, he will certainly go to the Devil World and the Dark World and join hands with them. Given his ability, it will be yet another catastrophe waiting to happen."

Although Tianyan City did not really think that Ye Futian would ally with the Devil World, it did not mind so much to charge him with this imaginary crime. This way, Ye Futian would be forced to stand on the opposite side, and Donghuang Imperial Palace would certainly cease to accommodate him and Ziwei Segmentum.

At that time, the imperial palace would have no choice but to make a move against him.

"Take me down?" Ye Futian looked at those cultivators, then fixed his attention solely on the City Lord of Tianyan. "It seems that you have forgotten the lesson of yesteryears. Are you forfeiting Tianyan City?"

The expression on City Lord of Tianyan's face changed slightly, and it wasn't a pretty look.

Ye Futian simply looked at the others with a cold contempt before moving on to Shenyan Buddha Lord. "I am blessed by Buddhism, and I will not be at odds with the Buddhist sect. But if you insist on having it out with me regarding our personal grievances, I don't mind going there with you. However, don't drag the others in this muddy water with you. I have no intention of getting involved in this war, nor am I interested in influencing the outcomes on the battlefield."

When he finished speaking, he continued to levitate into the sky and appeared above the firmament. He lowered his head to survey all the cultivators beneath and said, "Those who want to kill me may come up and try it themselves, but don't instigate. There is even less need to use the war as an excuse. I have led the people in Ziwei to cultivate in the Original Realm, and we do not have an interest in this war one way or the other. You have continued to try to force me to choose a side. Why is that?"

w.a.n.g Xiao's body soared into the air and went higher into the sky. There was plenty of fight will in his eyes as a terrifying aura swept out from his body, aiming towards Ye Futian.

w.a.n.g Xiao had cast a divine body of his own and was invincible on the battlefield. Now that he had the chance to meet Ye Futian again on the battlefield, naturally, he would take this chance to engage him again.

"You couldn't do it back then, and it's the same now. If you don't use the imperial arms, you are no match for me." Ye Futian gave w.a.n.g Xiao a sideway glance and spoke coldly with some contempt.

In today's situation, he didn't want to fight, but these people wouldn't give up. If so, he was curious to see who would really come and fight him.

"Really?" w.a.n.g Xiao's eyes fixed on Ye Futian. "But this time, it's different."

After being defeated by Ye Futian several times, w.a.n.g Xiao had now regarded Ye Futian as his sworn enemy, the greatest enemy of his life. His biggest goal was to slay Ye Futian and use his blood to pave his way to becoming a great emperor himself. Ye Futian, undoubtedly, would be the greatest obstacle on this journey.

He had refined his body by the power of Tianyan the Great and cast a divine body of his own, unparallelled to all. His body was invincible, and even without the imperial arms, under the great emperor, there were not many in the world who could beat him.

"It's not different." Ye Futian said nonchalantly, "A loser will never be able to reverse his predicament."

Wouldn't he? w.a.n.g Xiao thought.

The divine body of w.a.n.g Xiao dazzled, and the light illuminated the sky with blinding radiance, as a terrifying aura enshroud the boundless s.p.a.ce. He stared at Ye Futian and said aggressively, "I will use your blood to pave my way to my kingdom as a great emperor."

Ye Futian's eyes were still indifferent when he heard w.a.n.g Xiao's words. He knew that w.a.n.g Xiao had deemed him an opponent that he must defeat in this lifetime no matter what, and the two were enemies forever.

However, for Ye Futian, perhaps only Donghuang Diyuan had the qualifications to be his true contender and to be considered a sworn enemy.

w.a.n.g Xiao was not worthy.

"On the contrary, I have never regarded you as a serious opponent. On the path to becoming a great emperor, you are not even a stumbling block to me. Your presence is entirely superfluous." Ye Futian spoke indifferently, and his calm tone was full of contempt. His att.i.tude only made w.a.n.g Xiao more obstinate.

If he didn't defeat Ye Futian, he was afraid that he would never become a great emperor in this lifetime. Ye Futian had already become w.a.n.g Xiao's biggest mental block.

When the City Lord of Tianyan heard Ye Futian's words, his face sunk, and he became incredibly gloomy. Ye Futian's arrogant words were a deliberate attempt to undermine w.a.n.g Xiao psychologically, to cast a shadow of doubt in w.a.n.g Xiao's psyche.

In this battle, he hoped w.a.n.g Xiao could wash away the shame of the past once and for all.

Over the years, especially with the great emperor's help in his cultivation, w.a.n.g Xiao had completely transformed. Only he knew how much progress w.a.n.g Xiao had made and what his true strength was like; he was almost catching up to the City Lord himself.

Precisely because of this, he had wanted to hand over the position of the City Lord to w.a.n.g Xiao and let him rule Tianyan City. He would shoulder the mission of Tianyan City, pursue the path of supremacy, and restore the glory of Tianyan City as in the days of yore.

How could this world refuse the birth of a great emperor in armoring?

Bang! w.a.n.g Xiao stepped forward as the divine light erupted from him; even the s.p.a.ce was shaken when he moved. A terrifying aura of the Great Path swept out and pounced on Ye Futian. The ensuing burning and domineering storm made Ye Futian realize that w.a.n.g Xiao was indeed no longer what he was once. Compared to before, he was much stronger than he was in the past.

What had w.a.n.g Xiao experienced?

"You had comprehended the physical body of Shenjia the Great Emperor and made a powerful body for yourself. Now, I, too, have cast a divine body. So let's see how strong is your body of the Great Path," w.a.n.g Xiao said proudly. Above his divine body, a horrific aura exploded under the unwavering attention of so many cultivators around them.

w.a.n.g Xiao's physical body did give them an overwhelming sense of strength.

"As you wish." Ye Futian responded casually. As soon as his voice fell, the divine light of the Great Path circled all around him, and it was blindingly brilliant.

Buzz! w.a.n.g Xiao disappeared. His divine body with its golden armor arrived instantly in front of Ye Futian, as his fist dealt a blow at the same time. A terrifying stream of hot air swallowed up this s.p.a.ce and overwhelmed Ye Futian, zooming in for the kill.

That blow caused a golden streamer of flame to appear in the void.

Ye Futian's eyes were frightening. When he saw the incoming attack, he raised his hand threw out a palm print. On this great palm print, there was a Symbol of Wan with horrific Light of Buddha circling around it. When it slammed down, it seemed to cover the entire sky, accompanied by a power of Yin that froze the s.p.a.ce.

The two attacks collided, and an aura of horror burst into this s.p.a.ce. A storm of destruction materialized around them, but neither backed away from this confrontation. The strength of their physique was unimaginably powerful.

When Ye Futian's great palm print landed on the opponent's attack, it seemed to have a blast on an indestructible divine arms. w.a.n.g Xiao's body appeared to be more than just pure flesh, but an extension of a divine arms.

His body had been tempered, just like how a divine arm was made.

Was this why w.a.n.g Xiao dared to proclaim that he had already cast a divine body of his own?

But, what price did w.a.n.g Xiao have to pay for a divine body cast in this way?
