Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
A turquoise beam of light lit up as the Divine Ruler came down from the sky. As the clicking sound went on, everyone’s attention remained on the spot where it originated. The Divine Ruler did not slow down when the spear Supreme Heavenly King created was split open in half. Eventually, the spear crumbled slowly and was reduced to nothingness.
“He broke the spear!”
The onlookers’ hearts skipped a beat at the sight of a Near-Deity Cultivator’s spear being destroyed. And it belonged to Supreme Heavenly King, who was unrivaled in strength and matchless in his Might, to top it all off. As the paramount of Heaven Realm’s Four Heavenly Kings, he was known for his authoritative Divine Power. Additionally, he had powerful disciples like Gaia Star Lord and so on.
Yet, no one had expected that Ye Futian could crush Supreme Heavenly King’s attack in a head-on battle. Not only did the Divine Ruler not remain there, but it continued to shoot downward.
The Divine Ruler annihilated everything on its path. Nothing could remain—not even the law power. A silhouette of a sword could be seen within the Divine Ruler. The sight was created by Ye Futian’s Heaven Slaying Swordsmanship.
Supreme Heavenly King pushed his palm upward, which resonated with the Gods, creating a Divine domain covering a vast space and suppressing the atmosphere. Nevertheless, the Divine Ruler continued to destroy everything along its way. Even the Divine domain suffered the same fate.
The intimidating Light of the Divine Ruler traversed the void, pushing Supreme Heavenly King backward. It continued to shoot downward until it hit the ground and formed a massive pit. As a result, the entire area was turned into a complete wasteland.
“He repelled a Near-Deity Cultivator!” Everyone’s eyes were set on the fight as they witnessed Supreme Heavenly King being forced back by Ye Futian. Although the former was not defeated, it still did not change that he was driven back.
Everyone could hardly believe the sight of Ye Futian warding off a Near-Deity Cultivator in a direct confrontation.
In other words, Ye Futian already had the strength to defeat a Near-Deity Cultivator. Needless to say, his combat ability had reached the same tier as well. So, he could finally be compared with Donghuang Diyuan and Ji Wudao.
“What a splendid fight,” the crowd murmured. At the same time, many lamented that the manifestation of the Ruins of the Gods was the beginning of a new era where great individuals would emerge one after another, making history.
Ji Wudao, Donghuang Diyuan, Di Hao, Ye Futian, and the likes would replace the current Six Great Emperors as prominent figures in the future. Still, who could become the next Great Emperor following Donghuang the Great?
After hundreds of years, the manifestation of the Ruins of the Gods undoubtedly kicked off another new era. It would be an era of the emergence of a new emperor.
The crowds could see Ji Wudao, Donghuang Diyuan, and Ye Futian becoming the big guns of a brand new era.
Furthermore, several big names still did not show up yet.
The remnants of Devil World, the Reapers of the Dark Court, and the likes would also be formidable forces.
The entire space became dead silent after Supreme Heavenly King was being fended off. Countless onlookers looked into the void where a white-haired figure could be seen. Then, they recalled that Ziwei Imperial Palace had never once suffered defeat up until this point.
The battle between the Great Skylords Black and White Almighty and Supreme Swordlord ended. The cultivators of Heaven Realm retreated to the sky stairwell and lowered their heads to stare at Ye Futian and the others.
Was he trying to display the might of Ziwei Imperial Palace?
The onslaught by Heaven Realm’s cultivators showed everyone the strength of Ziwei Imperial Palace. Previously, everyone knew Heaven Realm was a powerful force, though small in number. Yet, the onlookers witnessed that apart from Heaven Realm, the strength of Ziwei Imperial Palace was in a class of its own as well.
Even though Ziwei Imperial Palace made its name in Original Realm by beating back the Ancient God Clan of Divine Prefecture several times, people generally still regarded it as a force of the Ancient God Clan level or slightly better. No one had ever thought of it as a force comparable to the Emperor-level forces.
Ye Futian made everyone realize a fact through this battle. Although they did not have a Great Emperor among their ranks, Ziwei Imperial Palace, under his leadership, could hold a candle to the other Emperor-level forces after being transformed and trained in the Ruins of the Gods.
The might of Ye Futian, the affiliation with Supreme Swordlord, the alliance with West Imperial Palace, and the forces Ziwei Imperial Palace cultivated, like Four Corner Village and the former Ziwei Imperial Palace, were the assets that formed a rising superpower.
All of them had underestimated Ziwei Imperial palace.
It was not an accident that a force not at Emperor-level like them could seize the Ruins of the Mahoraga.
They were indeed the strongest out there other than the Emperor-level forces.
Besides, the Lost Clan, guarding Ziwei Segmentum, still had not shown up.
But they would come to this place one day.
Thus, the strength of Ziwei Imperial Palace would only continue to increase.
This was the beginning of a great and brand new era. The forces that remained mediocre would be eliminated by natural selection. Still, the rate of Ziwei Imperial Palace’s growth was way beyond everyone’s expectations. Before they even realized its threat, it had already emerged as a mighty force.
“The Four Heavenly Kings of Heaven Realm is nothing impressive,” Ye Futian uttered as he stared at Supreme Heavenly King. His silver hair was ruffled by the wind while standing in the void. The Divine Light that shone around his body only further enhanced his greatness.
Ye Futian had the right to say that because he had just beaten back Supreme Heavenly King. That was to say, none of the Four Heavenly Kings could rival him.
If anyone could take him down, it would only be the Great Skylords Black and White Almighty and the successor of Heaven Realm, Ji Wudao.
Initially, Ye Futian did not plan to put himself under the spotlight. He was following the crowd and see if they could try their luck in the Ruins of the Old Heaven Court. Yet, the forces of Heaven Realm started a fight and even set their eyes on his group, attempting to use his people to intimidate others by attacking them.
In that case, they would have no choice but to face the challenge.
The Heaven Realm Cultivators faced a dilemma at this moment. They would defeat Ziwei Imperial Palace’s forces. After all, they had the statues of Tianshen behind them. So, they could lend the power from the statues. Besides, they did not even send out their strongest forces, White Almighty and Ji Wudao, yet.
However, their opponents were not just the Ziwei Imperial Palace bunch. Their objective was to intimidate everyone. But if they could win the battle against Ziwei Imperial Palace by relying on White Mighty and Ji Wudao, things would only get ugly should the other powerful cultivators join in the fight.
What could Heaven Realm fight them with if that happened?
All the other forces were eyeing these two forces while watching the fight. They were waiting to see how the battle would play out.
Naturally, Supreme Heavenly King realized that as well. Dragging the fight would put them at a disadvantage. At that very moment, the assignment was no longer just winning or losing but to safeguard the ruins from the other forces.
At once, Supreme Heavenly King returned to the sky stairwell and came to a halt before the statue of Tianshen. Upon his arrival, the statue emitted a Divine Light and surrounded him.
The sight of it caused the onlookers’ pupils to shrink in stupefaction.
Supreme Heavenly King wanted to use the Power of Tianshen to defeat Ye Futian.
He had lost his interest to continue the battle.. At this point, he wanted to crush Ziwei Imperial Palace, making it vanish into thin air with absolute power.
