The Legend of Futian

Chapter 2856: Human Ancestor

Ye Futian’s spear attack shocked the Gods’ Ruins Continent. News soon spread to the Seven Realms, and countless people were stunned.

Had Ye Futian become so powerful already without them realizing?

While everyone focused on Ji Wudao, Ye Futian had quietly risen and killed seven Great Emperors with one blow. How talented was he?

Nowadays, the few Great Emperors of the Divine Prefecture’s Ancient God Clans were probably shivering fearfully.

Haotian the Great, Yuanshi the Great, and those who had become emperor afterward: Wuliang the Great and Heavenly Emperor Jiang.

In the rebuilt Haotian Clan, the four ancient emperors were gathered together. They had already heard the news from the Original Realm. Ye Futian had killed seven Great Emperors with just one spear attack. They did not know who the seven Great Emperors were. They had come from outside the heavens, but according to rumors, they had been extremely strong. They were the gods of judgment with overpowering brilliance, but they had been killed by Ye Futian before they could display it fully.

“There are many voices in the Outer Realms now, saying that our four Ancient God Clans will follow in the steps of the Tianyan City and Vajra Realm,” Haotian the Great said. “What do you all think we should do now?”

As Great Emperors, they actually felt very repressed. After the Heavenly Path had collapsed, they had survived in the world as a different form and waited countless years to finally return. They thought that after returning, they would have utmost glory in the present world and be high and mighty, looking down at the world that lacked Great Emperors.

But what they did not expect was that they could only be proud once. That day they teamed up to destroy the Ye Imperial Palace; they had been extremely domineering, killing their way there. They had no glorious moments after that.

Up until now, they were even fearful every day, wondering how they could save themselves. This was so tragic.

They were Great Emperors. They had not felt so repressed, even in ancient times.

“In the Seven Realms right now, everyone wants to destroy the Heaven Realm and Divine Prefecture,” Yuanshi the Great replied. “Ye Futian was hiding away in the Original Realm and was viewed as non-threatening. If we want to kill him now, we must rely on the Divine Prefecture’s strength.”

“Donghuang never wanted to kill Ye Futian and kept this threat alive. Now, he has finally risen to the top, becoming someone who can kill emperors. Donghuang should act now.” Haotian the Great’s expression was cold. If Donghuang the Great acted, they should deal with Ye Futian.

“The Outer Realms say that the various worlds might attack the Divine Prefecture. It should be soon, and Ye Futian might get involved. I don’t know what kind of situation it would be. If he does get involved, Donghuang should kill him.”

Nowadays, it seemed that they could only put their hopes on Donghuang the Great. If the Divine Prefecture were destroyed, they would still be in danger. If Ye Futian were part of the victorious side, he would not show them mercy.

“Order people to spread the news that Ye Futian had broken the Path to cultivate,” Wuliang the Great spoke up. “In ancient times, he would be the kind to fight against the Heavenly Path. He killed seven emperors as a Great Emperor-To-Be and is growing extremely fast. If he enters the Great Emperor Plane, he would be completely unparalleled. He will transform into the Heavenly Path, rule over the gods, and preside over the world law.” The other three Great Emperors listened to his words and then nodded, understanding the other’s intentions.

Why did the Human Realm, Devil World, and other forces want to destroy the Heaven Realm? It was because the Heaven Realm had a Heavenly Path. Ji Wudao had become a heavenly emperor and showed signs of wanting to unify the Seven Realms. He was very ambitious and was a threat to the other Great Emperors.

As for his so-called demonic techniques, it was also a reason, but it was not the most important one.

The critical point was that he posed a tangible threat to the other worlds.

Spreading exaggerated information about Ye Futian also had this effect.

The four Great Emperors could not defeat Ye Futian by themselves, so they could only get creative and use lowly and calculative tactics. It seemed a bit pitiful, and they also understood this, but they had no other choice or path to take.

Otherwise, they could only wait for death.

...

After Ye Futian killed the seven Great Emperors, he returned to cultivate in the Ye Imperial Palace.

His attack had helped intimidate the other Great Emperors who had come from outside the heavens. Many of the Great Emperors who had previously arrived had blood on their hands. They did not care about the cultivators of the Gods’ Ruins Continent at all. They carelessly stole their memories, finding the information that they wanted directly in the people’s brains.

Great Emperor figures were too terrifyingly destructive. Their one mindless action could cause many people to die.

Not long after Ye Futian killed the seven Great Emperors, another uninvited guest came to the Ye Imperial Palace.

It was cultivators from the Human Realm. In fact, Di Hao had led them here personally.

Known as the heir of the Human Realm, Di Hao had many conflicts with Ye Futian before. They had even fought directly before.

The Ye Imperial Palace greeted Di Hao. The world’s current situation was a bit strange. Di Hao had come representing the Human Realm, and Ye Futian wanted to see what the purpose was.

Ye Futian sat on the majestic throne and looked down in the sky to Di Hao. Di Hao had become very strong too, being in the Great Emperor-To-Be Plane for many years, but he was nothing before Ye Futian.

“Palace Lord Ye.” Di Hao’s personality seemed to have changed. He did not have the arrogance from before at all. He knew that Ye Futian was no longer on the same level as him. At least, there was a big gap between them right now.

Ye Futian nodded slightly and said, “What advice is the Human Realm hoping to impart in this visit?”

“We have had some conflicts with Palace Lord Ye in the past, and I am taking this chance to apologize. I hope you can forgive me,” Di Hao said, bowing down to apologize to Ye Futian.

Ye Futian’s expression faltered. He was quite surprised. “It’s all in the past,” he said. “Let us talk about the matter at hand.”

He was not in the mood for beating around the bush and small talk.

“I am sure Palace Lord Ye has seen the changes of the world. Ji Wudao is threatening the safety of the Seven Realms, and Donghuang the Great is plotting in the back. We don’t know what he has plotted, but the Human Ancestor is calling top figures from all the forces to gather at the Human Realm and discuss this grand matter together. Thus, I came to invite Palace Lord Ye as well.”

Ye Futian cocked an eyebrow. Something similar had happened before, and they had invited him to fight against the Heaven Realm, but he did not participate.

Now, the Human Ancestor ordered someone to invite him again.

“I have heard of it before,” Ye Futian said. “The Ye Imperial Palace is only a force of the Original Realm and unable to reach the heights of the emperor-level forces of the Seven Realms. We are not qualified to participate yet.” He looked at Di Hao a bit tentatively.

Di Hao looked at Ye Futian. He closed his eyes, and then an extremely strong aura burst from his body. Then Di Hao’s entire being seemed to change. An illusory figure appeared in the air above him. It was an elder’s figure. He appeared extremely ancient and wise, benevolent and kind. There was even auspicious light surrounding him like a natural phenomenon.

“Human Ancestor!”

Ye Futian’s pupils constricted. He stood up and said, “Greetings to the Human Ancestor.”

“Palace Lord Ye, you are too polite,” came a wispy voice from the elder’s silhouette. “I heard that Palace Lord Ye killed seven emperors with one spear, shocking the world. How can you be so humble? In the current world, Palace Lord Ye is destined to stand at the very top. How can you not be qualified? I know that Di Hao had a conflict with you. Thus, I came to invite you personally. I wanted to meet the most outstanding junior of the current world!”
