The Legend of Futian

Chapter 2838: The Wife of Donghuang

Yu Sheng looked at Ye Futian and said over transmitted thoughts, “Devil Emperor wants you to head to the Divine Prefecture and deal with Haotian the Great and the others. In the meantime, he will make a trip to Donghuang Imperial Palace.”

When Ye Futian heard Yu Sheng’s thoughts, he revealed a strange look.

What was the Devil Emperor planning?

Was the Devil Emperor testing Ye Futian? Or was the former using him to kill others, using his hands to deal with a Great Emperor figure of the Divine Prefecture, and paving the way for the former’s battle against Donghuang the Great several years later? After all, it wouldn’t be long until the end of Donghuang the Great’s 500 years of Fate of the Emperor.

The Dark World would also participate.

The Devil Emperor would head over to Donghuang Imperial Palace to meet Donghuang the Great. This was done to make it convenient for Ye Futian to act. The Devil Emperor intended for Donghuang the Great to be unable to interfere.

“Dark Sovereign knows that Palace Lord Ye has deep grudges with the Ancient God Clans of the Divine Prefecture. Hence, he wanted us to accompany you to the Divine Prefecture to seek revenge,” Yan Guiyi said as he looked toward Ye Futian. “Palace Lord Ye, are you confident that you can kill Haotian the Great and the others?”

Yan Guiyi was the top Demon Sage of the Devil World and had extremely high standing. His abilities were also super powerful. Nevertheless, he had to refer to Ye Futian as Palace Lord Ye now.

Even though Yan Guiyi had already reached the Great Emperor-To-Be Plane, Ye Futian could defeat Great Emperors.

Ye Futian glanced at the cultivators of the two major forces. From the looks of it, he did not have a choice.

Moreover, they had come to support him in seeking revenge.

“I don’t know,” replied Ye Futian. “After all, they are Great Emperors. However, if all of you are willing to lend a hand, I believe there won’t be any problems.”

Yan Guiyi said, “We are heading over to provide support. Everything else will still depend on Palace Lord Ye. In the meantime, His Highness Devil Emperor will head over to Donghuang Imperial Palace and chat with Donghuang the Great to stall for you.”

They would not participate in his battles.

This was a matter between Ye Futian and the major Ancient God Clans of the Divine Prefecture.

“All right,” Ye Futian said as he nodded. “Since His Highness Devil Emperor is willing to lend me a hand, how can I possibly turn down his kindness? However, I do not know how things will end. If my abilities are lacking, I will still need your help.”

“Rest assured, Palace Lord Ye,” answered Yan Guiyi as he nodded his head. “Since you have agreed, shall we head out immediately?”

“Hmm,” responded Ye Futian as he nodded his head. He informed the members of Ye Imperial Palace and then immediately left with the cultivators of the two Emperor-level forces.

Although Ye Futian already planned to seek revenge, being escorted over was not how he imagined it.

Was the Devil Emperor hoping that Ye Futian would directly wage war against the Divine Prefecture?

The group left the Ruins Continent and descended upon the Divine Prefecture. They headed straight toward the Haotian Clan in the Nantian Domain. According to their sources, the remnants of the Ancient God Clans were all there. They had gathered together over there to prevent Ye Futian from seeking revenge against them.

After all, Ye Futian could already put up a fight against Haotian the Great. They had to be cautious.

While they were going to the Divine Prefecture, Donghuang the Great was cultivating in Donghuang Imperial Palace. A divine palace was erected amidst the churning clouds. The figure of Donghuang the Great could be seen sitting in front of the palace, surrounded by misty clouds.

He opened his eyes and revealed a profound expression. Then, he laughed softly and said, “After a few centuries, the Devil Emperor has actually personally come over again. Your visit has caught me by surprise.”

“Last time, you came to my Devil Imperial Palace, yet you left without stopping for a visit. I have come today to reciprocate your courtesy.” A voice sounded, followed by clouds shifting in the sky. An elder appeared. He stood casually with his hands behind his back. He slowly walked toward Donghuang the Great. He seemed like an ordinary old man. No one would have guessed that he was the domineering Devil Emperor who ruled over all corners of the Devil World.

The Devil Emperor referred to the incident where the Devil World captured Donghuang Diyuan. At that time, Donghuang the Great made a trip to Devil Imperial Palace to bring her back.

“Take a seat,” Donghuang the Great said as he gestured. He sounded very courteous when he invited the Devil Emperor to sit in front of him, as though the two of them were long-lost friends.

The Devil Emperor did not turn down the offer either. He sat near Donghuang the Great. The latter waved his hand, and a Weiqi board popped up between the two of them. He said, “Your Highness since you have come, why don’t we have a match?”

“All right.” The Devil Emperor nodded in agreement as he shifted his attention towards the board.

“Your Highness is the guest. You may go first,” Donghuang the Great said as he gestured.

The Devil Emperor took a white stone and put it on the board. At the same time, he said, “Donghuang, do you have news of my brother?”

Donghuang the Great shook his head. As he placed a black stone on the board, he replied, “Just like you, I have not received any news about him for a long time.”

“Is that so?” The Devil Emperor followed up with another white stone. His tone was laced with suspicion.

“It’s absolutely true,” Donghuang the Great replied. He sounded earnest, seemingly not hiding anything from the other party.

“Who set up the Heavenly Path in the Heavenly Emperor Realm?” The Devil Emperor did not pester Donghuang the Great on the same issue. Instead, he moved on to another issue and asked about the Heavenly Path that pressured the Heaven Realm.

“Your Highness, what do you think?” Donghuang the Great raised his head and glanced at the Devil Emperor. He answered with another question.

“If I knew the answer, I wouldn’t have asked,” the Devil Emperor said with a smile. He sounded casual as he brought up yet another topic, saying, “In the past, when the Goddess of the Heaven Realm first showed her face to the world, no one could hold a candle to her beauty and ability. Let alone ladies; there were very few men in the world who could put up a fight with her. She was also the dream girl for countless men.”

Donghuang the Great revealed a brilliant smile. His eyes glistened with gentleness as he mumbled, “She was the best among all women.”

The Devil Emperor smiled and continued, “You are admirable. Such a talented lady actually became your wife. She was also willing to give you a descendent.” Donghuang the Great’s gaze turned mellow as he commented with a smile, “She played a big part in helping Ye Qing and me to become Great Emperors.”

“As the person with the most outstanding temperament at that time, you were indeed the only person who was a good match for her. Both of you made an admirable couple. Therefore, surely you have a lot of pent-up hatred.” As the Devil Emperor said this, he did not forget to place a stone on the Weiqi board.

He looked up at Donghuang the Great, wanting to observe the other party’s expression. However, Donghuang the Great’s expression was normal, seemingly unchanged. He still wore a gentle expression.

“These are all things of the past. Why do you bring them up? Could it be that you came over to talk about these matters?” asked Donghuang the Great. If outsiders heard their conversation, they would truly believe that the two of them were best friends casually having a chat.

...

Just as the two of them were talking in Donghuang Imperial Palace, Ye Futian’s group arrived at the territory of the Haotian Clan in the Nantian Domain.

Haotian City trembled violently. Back then, Ye Futian had slaughtered his way here before. Later on, Haotian the Great had tried to take revenge when he became a Great Emperor, but he had been unable to destroy Ye Imperial Palace.

Today, Ye Futian had descended upon the city once again.

Terrifying pressure enveloped Haotian City. The Haotian Clan naturally felt this pressure. Faced with such pressure, countless cultivators in the city felt like worshipping the powerful cultivator who emanated it.

Although Ye Futian had yet to become a Great Emperor, his might was comparable to one!
