“Tm going outside to have a look,” Ye Futian remarked to Old Ma. Old Ma nodded, and Ye Futian’s figure disappeared immediately from the sky stairwell.
Old Ma looked toward where Ye Futian had disappeared and was overcame with emotion. He still remembered the day Ye Futian first came into the village. At that time, he was just a genius junior. Now, however, he had become one of the top cultivators globally and was the leader of an extremely strong
force. Aside from those at the Emperor-level, there was likely no one that could compete with him any longer.

Even those of the Ancient God Clan were powerless against him now.
Moreover, Ye Futian’s demeanor had undergone a complete transformation; it was completely different from his past. He could just about visualize the current Ye Futian becoming an Emperor. He already had the airs of one.7

Ye Futian reappeared on the outskirts of the palace complex. The former Ruins of the Mahoraga had now been transformed into Ye Imperial Palace, and the outskirts were also the property of Ziwei Imperial Palace. Many cultivators had arrived here from Ziwei Segmentum and constructed many buildings,
which made the area look like an outer city when viewed from afar.
This was probably also the current portrayal of the entire Gods’ Continent. Here was only tiny corner.
Ye Futian disappeared again in a flash. He traversed in the high skies, gazing down upon the land. The many constructions in sight showed that this ancient continent was no longer barren.
He looked up at the upper skies. His sharp eyes pierced through the boundless space, beyond the clouds, and into the outer regions. He could see that the Void had been filled with the essence originating from this old continent, and continents were floating in the midst. Ye Futian knew what that meant.
Following the expansion of the Gods’ Continent, the divine light had also been spreading out to cover the other continents in the Original Realm. As such, those continents that were part of the Original Realm had become the outer sections of the Gods’ Continent. This was also the case for Ziwei Segmentum
and the former Three Thousand Realms of the Great Path.
In the future, the Original Realm would likely become similar in structure to the Divine Prefecture, having countless continents all within the same dimension, with the Gods’ Continent as its hub.
The Divine Prefecture was also an amalgamation of many continents, but unlike the Original Realm, it did not have a continent like the Gods’ Continent as its hub.
Ye Futian quickly passed through the skies above the Gods’ Continent and switched from looking at the upper skies to the land below.
“You behave sneakily despite being a Buddhist cultivator and are a disgrace to Buddhism.” Just then, Ye Futian spat out words that shook the Void. His voice rang out throughout the boundless space, causing tremors within the Void.
Below, numerous cultivators lifted their heads to see a white-haired figure.
“It’s Ye Futian!”
Somebody recognized him. Even those who had never met him in person had all heard of him. With such a special aura, outstanding appearance, and an iconic head of long silver hair, the figure above could only be Ye Futian.
Who was he talking to?
Who were the Buddhist cultivators?
At the top of the skies was a golden Buddhist light, and in the distance, a pair of frightening eyes appeared within the Void. They pierced through the Void, looking toward Ye Futian. The cultivators below could see nothing of the newcomer but those eyes. It made their hearts race.
‘That was an unnerving pair of eyes. Did they belong to Shenyan Buddha Lord?
But had his eyes not been stabbed and blinded by Ye Futian when he had trespassed into the Ruins of the Mahoraga?
Ye Futian sensed the other party and frowned. It seemed like Shenyan Buddha Lord had made tremendous progress, turning misfortune into a blessing after being stabbed blind. His eyes had become even more astonishing and powerful.
Just then, those eyes in the Void released a terrifying golden light that pierced directly through the Void like a razor-sharp blade and headed for Ye Futian.
Ye Futian turned and disappeared from the area. Two beams of divine light cut through where he had been standing before, causing a hole to appear, but Ye Futian was somewhere else.
Buzz!
Many eyes lit up simultaneously and headed toward Ye Futian. All at once, ten million beams of golden divine light pierced through the Void and moved to attack Ye Futian.
The area was flooded with innumerable divine lights.
“Oh my…”
The cultivators were unnerved as they witnessed this scene. They had not thought that just an Eye Spell alone could be that terrifying.
Those beams of divine light coming out from the eyes were enough to kill even the strongest cultivators.
Ye Futian kept vanishing from the spot, but the Eye Spell lights seemed to be bent on sealing up the Void. They came at Ye Futian furiously, and a gigantic Divine Eye appeared above him at once. It resembled the eyes of Tianshen, and the cultivators below were all taken aback when they saw it.
“Hurry up and leave!” Ye Futian shouted to the cultivators, and it was only then that they reacted and fled the area in a hurry. Just as Ye Futian finished speaking, the eyes in the skies again released countless beams of divine light that covered the sky. They were akin to sharp blades and headed straight for Ye
Futian.
At the same time, Shenyan Buddha Lord’s figure also appeared in the upper skies, revealing himself.
He now possessed a strong aura, and his powers had become more stable than when he had first passed through the second tribulation. He had sought Medicine Buddha Lord for help with his injured eyes. Although they did not fully recover, the Divine Eye technique he had been practicing developed further.
It replaced his physical eyes, and he became much more powerful, and now, he did not need his physical eyes anymore as his divine eyes were everywhere.
Ye Futian saw the deadly lights coming at him but did not dodge this time. A Buddhist light blazed around him, and he transformed into an indestructible golden body. A jade-green divine light encircled the golden body, blending with it in harmony.
Bang! Bang! Bang! Horrifying attacks continued raining down. The divine lights coming out from the Divine Eye were like razor-sharp blades that could cut through anything, They struck the golden body, creating loud noises in the process. A crack appeared on the body, but it remained in one piece,
shielding Ye Futian’s body.
However, some people below were not as lucky. Although the battle had taken place in the high skies and were far from the ground, the divine light was so terrifying that it pierced straight through the Void and into the lower skies. Those hit by the light immediately disintegrated into pieces, leaving not a
single bone behind. They did not even have time to cry out.
Ye Futian lowered his head and looked below and then looked toward Shenyan Buddha Lord again. A golden dazzling light encircled his body, and he coldly stated, “Buddha Lord, indeed?”
“Lonce cultivated at Western Heaven and could be considered a semi-disciple of Buddha. I will eradicate this Buddhist scum on behalf of the other Buddhists today,” Ye Futian said aloud, his voice shaking the Void. As he finished speaking, two beams of divine light that contained the Will of the Great
Emperor shot out of Shenyan Buddha Lord’s eyes and unto Ye Futian’s golden body.
Inan instant, the golden body broke into pieces, but Ye Futian also vanished at the same time. The two beams of divine light continued to strike and raze everything within the area to the ground.
Yet more people died, and those who were fortunate to escape were terrified. They used their divine wills to look into the battle in the high skies as they fled, and they felt their hearts go cold.
Shenyan Buddha Lord was already a demigod and incredibly powerful. He also seemed to have the help of imperial arms. Would Ye Futian be able to cope?
The cultivators were hoping Ye Futian would be the victor and get rid of Shenyan Buddha Lord. This Buddha Lord had no qualms about taking innocent lives in his bid to kill Ye Futian and had incurred the wrath and enmity of the people.
Ye Futian reappeared at another place and looked at Shenyan Buddha Lord. When he had been stabbed blind, even the Buddha of Destiny had urged him to let go of his obsession. Yet it seemed that his obsession had only grown deeper, and he was now too bent on having his revenge for letting go.
There is only a thin line between being a Buddha and being a demon, and Shenyan Buddha Lord had turned into a half-demon.
His eyes were still blind, but a pair of divine eyes had replaced them. They were intimidating, and in there was a Buddhist divine sword. It was an imperial arm taken away by Shenyan Buddha Lord when he invaded the Ruins of the Mahoraga.
The jade-green divine light glowed, and divine light kept gushing out of Ye Futian. They converged in front of Ye Futian and wrapped his entire body in them. Ye Futian morphed into a silhouette of a god. He held the Divine Ruler in his hands and looked up at Shenyan Buddha Lord in the Void.
Judging by his expression, it was obvious he meant business!
