Chapter 2206: Ziwei Imperial Palace
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Imperial Star, the largest starry world in Ziwei Segment, had countless cultivators.
The cultivators of this starry world were believers of Ziwei Imperial Palace. Ziwei Imperial Palace, located in the Imperial City, was the absolute holy land of this starry world. No one had ever questioned its authority. All the cultivators in Ziwei Segmentum believed in Ziwei the Great. The cultivators of Ziwei Imperial Palace were spokespersons of Ziwei the Great: everything they did was the embodiment of the will of the Great Emperor.
In this world, those with the best talents and the strongest cultivation would eventually enter the Ziwei Imperial Palace, which was the most supreme of all cultivation places.
Because of this, the strength of Ziwei Imperial Palace was beyond imagination, easily in control of the entire Ziwei world, impossible to be dethroned by anyone or any forces. After so many years, Ziwei Imperial Star had always stood at the peak of Ziwei Segment, worshipped by people in this world.
Ye Futian and the others came to the Imperial City of Imperial Star from Celestial Star. When they stepped into this city, they could feel a solemn and magnificent aura. All the cultivators here were incredibly strong, much stronger than those in the main cities of Divine Prefecture that Ye Futian had been to.
In Ziwei Segmentum, the status of the Imperial City was probably equivalent to the center of the Divine Prefecture in the Outer Realm, the same as the Imperial City where Donghuang the Great resided, a supreme land.
Ziwei Imperial Palace itself was like a magnificent city. When Ye Futian and the others came to the outside of the imperial palace, they saw a city within a city that stretched for thousands of miles, extending all the way to higher ground. Inside, it was full of holy and magnanimous aura, far more spectacular than the Tianhuan Palace they had visited before.
Outside Ziwei Imperial Palace, anyone who passed by would worship it, gazing inside with eyes full of awe. This demonstrated the position that Ziwei Imperial Palace occupied in the hearts of cultivators in Ziwei Segmentum.
“People from the outside came to this segment at the same time. We are probably not the first to arrive. Maybe someone else was here already,” said Duan Tianxiong, everyone nodding in agreement. Nan Huang said, “This place is unfathomable. I’m afraid that none of us will defeat the strongest cultivator that Ziwei Imperial Palace has to offer.”
The crowd was disquieted for a moment but understood right away: Tianhuan Palace had cultivators on their level. The palace lord of Tianhuan Palace had personally explained that they were all under the command of Ziwei Imperial Palace. This showed just how powerful and great Ziwei Imperial Palace was.
This was the place where Ziwei the Great used to cultivate, and it might contain ancient secrets beyond their imagination. What Emperor Nan said was true enough: the strongest cultivator of Ziwei World, who could rule this segment, was probably someone that none of them could contend with.
“Let’s go. Let’s visit them and see what kind of place Ziwei the Great cultivated in,” Emperor Nan continued as he moved forward. Looking at the guardian outside the imperial palace, he said, “Outside visitors are coming to visit the Imperial Palace.”
“Enter,” the guard outside the imperial palace said as if he had already received the order. He did not continue to report, merely letting them through.
“Thank you,” Emperor Nan said as the group of people walked inside. After entering, they kept moving in the air. Ziwei Imperial Palace was too vast. Traveling by air was far faster than traveling on land.
Across each and every ancient and majestic palace, they perceived a tremendous powerful aura, many of which were from Renhuang. Divine consciousness was surveying over them.
Ahead, several silhouettes rose into the sky, standing on top of several palaces. They were surrounded by starlight, and their auras were frightening. Each one of them possessed an extraordinary temperament, and all of them were powerful Renhuang.
The group of people gave Ye Futian and his people a meaningful look, sizing them up.
Another man levitated and stood on top of the highest palace in this area, looking at everyone. He said, “Welcome, everyone, to Ziwei Imperial Palace.”
“Apologies for coming and disturbing you,” Emperor Nan said politely.
“When the restriction was lifted, naturally, everyone wanted to come here. Before you, many people already arrived.” The man continued, “Ziwei World had been sealed off for many years and had not been in contact with outside cultivators. They cultivated inside Ziwei Realm and were curious about the strength of cultivators from the outside. Will you indulge them? Perhaps learn from each other.”
Emperor Nan looked at those powerful cultivators in the Renhuang Realm and saw that they were full of the aura of the Great Path. They were all Renhuang with perfect Great Path. This realization alarmed Emperor Nan quite a bit. It seemed that after Ziwei the Great sealed off this world, he must have left something behind. The palace lord of Tianhuan Palace said that the will of the Great Emperor was always there, in charge of this world. This claim may not have been an exaggeration.
He looked at Ye Futian and the others beside him. He saw Ye Futian, nodded, and replied, “Very well.”
He knew that the others would definitely want to see the cultivation strength of these men, so he wanted to observe and verify them.
And they were the same, wanting to experience the strength of the top cultivators in Ziwei Realm.
Ziwei Imperial Palace was where the strongest figures in Ziwei Segmentum gathered; it was just like how all the most enchanting geniuses in the 18 realms of the Divine Prefecture gathered together and trained as a collective.
The cultivators here symbolized the pinnacle of this world.
Therefore, both sides were curious and wanted to test each other.
“In that case, please feel at home,” the major figurehead of the other side said, and an invisible force immediately enveloped the space. Ye Futian and his party continued moving forward. Everyone who stepped out was a cultivator in possession of a perfect Great Path, including several highly capable existences from the village. The other side also had existences at this level.
“I’ll go first.” Dou Zhao stepped in the void, and the void shuddered, letting out a violent roar. A cultivator of the same realm on the opposite sidestepped out. His eyes shone brightly, like stars.
Boom… A monstrous attack swept out, and Dou Zhao’s offense was domineering and direct, pushing forward without stopping.
When he attacked his opponent, he saw extremely radiant starlight flowing. The battlefield seemed to be transformed into a starry world. His opponent raised his hand to blast out a punch, pure and simple. However, it felt extremely heavy. It was as if the stars around him were flowing forward at the same time.
Bang. With a loud noise, Dou Zhao’s fierce body was knocked back. This sight surprised the clan lord of the Dou Tribe, Ye Futian, and the others to no end. Was their attack power as strong as this?
“It’s pure starry Great Path,” Emperor Nan murmured. Dou Zhao knew he had underestimated the enemy. Suddenly, a divine light appeared in the center of his brow chakra. As the Will of the Fighting God opened up, a terrifying fighting intent now burned upon his body. He stepped forward again.
Boom!
A stream of light penetrated the void, and Dou Zhao’s body seemed to have transformed into the body of the Fighting God. As he moved forward, his body was bathed in the divine glory of the Fighting God. Meanwhile, the starlight flowed around his opponent’s body. It was as if he was surrounded by the stars. He raised his palms and slapped them forward. A star atlas appeared, surrounded by stars.
A violent sound came out, and the star atlas light screen blocked Dou Zhao’s attack, but the surrounding stars seemed to be cracked. It looked as if these stars were supporting the pattern on the star atlas, making it indestructible.
The other man’s palms slapped on the star atlas. Instantly, in the galaxy, countless stars ran counter to the flow, sweeping out towards Dou Zhao. Dou Zhao’s body seemed to be drowning within them.
Now, it was no longer a matter of underestimating the enemy. It was not easy for Dou Zhao to gain victory over his opponent.
“Open!”
An even more terrifying Will of the Fighting God erupted. The sixth, seventh, and eighth successive eruptions… And the Fighting God seemed to appear. Continuous punches slammed down to smash those terrifying starry attacks that were raining down.
“This is the imperial palace—the place where the Great Emperor cultivated. The power of the imperial palace’s cultivators may be inherited by the Emperor himself. Unleash your true strength. This is a good opportunity for you,” Emperor Nan said. Immediately, one man after another walked out to find their own opponent, waiting for an explosive battle to break out.
“Aren’t you going to strike?” a Renhuang looked at Ye Futian and asked. He was also in the Sixth Realm and had an extraordinary temperament.
Ye Futian looked at the man. He slightly nodded and said, “If you are ready, I will take action. No matter what happens, please don’t take it to heart.”
That Renhuang in the Sixth Realm frowned. They were cultivators of the imperial palace, standing at the top of Ziwei Segment, and every one of them was a person with extraordinary talents. What did Ye Futian mean by this?
“I’ll be waiting to see it.” The other nodded as he gazed at Ye Futian. He was surrounded by starlight; it was as if a starry world had appeared with him. The cultivators of the Ziwei Segment bathed in the divine glory of Ziwei the Great and received his inheritance. Therefore, those truly powerful cultivators had a similar cultivation specialty—the stars.
Ye Futian looked at the other. Then, with a flash, he disappeared from where he was standing.
In just an instant, Ye Futian descended in front of the other and slammed with a punch. In his fist aurora, the Great Path howled and roared. Likewise, the man released the star atlas as a defense that blocked in front of him.
Ye Futian’s fist blasted and slammed directly on the star atlas.
A terrifying storm of the Great Path swept out, followed by loud rumbling noises. The stars on the star atlas burst and shattered as cracks began to appear on the atlas. In a few moments, the atlas completely disintegrated, being pulverized into nothing.
Boom! The fist fell on the man’s body, knocked that Renhuang’s body into flying. However, Ye Futian deliberately held back and did not cause his opponent to be seriously injured.
Even so, after the man stopped, blood was still spilling from the corner of his mouth as he raised his head to look at Ye Futian in amazement!
