Chapter 2874  : Like the Back of One’s Hands

Outside Donghuang Imperial Palace, the Devil Emperor stood in the sky while Yu Sheng stood behind him. The Buddha was in front of him, still on guard.

He had not foreseen that he would be too late.

He gazed into the imperial palace. Now even if he wanted to, it had become impossible for him to stop anything that was going to happen. He should have been more decisive and taken action when his suspicions had first been aroused.

But since things had come to this, he also wanted to see how things would end...

Inside Donghuang Imperial Palace at the foot of the golden sky stairwell, there were two Great Empresses with remarkable auras. Both were peerless in elegance and talent; they were true goddesses.

At that moment, the two Great Empresses were looking at Ye Futian below them. A petrifying sword divine matrix used their consciousnesses to immediately appear above the sky.

Countless runes lit up and glowed within the golden divine matrix. All at once, rays of light from the divine matrix shone down and enclosed the entire area, shrouding Ye Futian.

Runes and divine swords appeared one after another and caused havoc in the area. It was the Tianxing Divine Sword that could cut through the sky.

“Tianxing Divine Sword!” Ye Futian looked at the two Empresses. They could summon the Tianxing Divine Matrix to bring unlimited Tianxing Divine Swords. It felt as if the whole land was about to be buried.

A sharp screeching pierced the air, and divine swords emerged one after another from the Tianxing Divine Matrix in the sky. They contained the divine power of the Tianxing matrix, and when they attacked, golden bolts of light appeared in the sky. Everything was going to be annihilated.

Accompanied by an intense light, the Tianxing divine swords started their downward onslaught. A dazzling divine glow lit the top of the divine matrix, but Ye Futian’s body shimmered at the same time. The light screens that had been formed from innumerable world particles now surrounded him.

Cackle! The horrifying divine swords attacking him were now on a completely different level from Donghuang Diyuan’s. They contained the true Tianxing divine power and could even penetrate the world particles and the light screens. Cracks appeared on Ye Futian’s defense shield as the swords continuously made holes in it.

Ye Futian was somewhat astonished when he raised his head and saw what was happening. These two Great Empresses were even more powerful than a usual Great Emperor.

Even so, compared to the person he was now, there was still a large gap.

An intimidating divine glow emitted from Ye Futian. He raised his left arm, and insurmountable divine power rushed from his hand.

Heaven Slaying Divine Power burst forth, and divine light lit up the area.

“Tianzhu!” He raised his hand and blasted the air with his palm. Countless divine swords came forth and clashed with the falling divine swords. At the same time, he stepped into the void. The silver spear in his right hand released an overwhelming divine glow as he thrust it into the Tianxing Divine Matrix.

The spear broke through the void, and a striking divine light burst through the land onto the divine matrix. It caused the whole matrix to shake violently and the appearance of countless cracks after that. The cracks grew rapidly until the divine matrix disintegrated with a loud bang. Ye Futian’s spear continued to dominate.

Ye Futian continued his steps upwards. His Silver Spear was unstoppable.

The two Empresses eyed him intensely and then unexpectedly moved aside to let him through. It was like they knew they would not be able to stop him.

Ye Futian stepped onto the golden sky stairwell without a hitch. He made his way up, step-by-step, his footsteps seemingly heavy.

At the end of the sky stairwell was Donghuang the Great.

He was one of the six Great Emperors of the Seven Realms, and the ruler of the Divine Prefecture. He was the cultivator with the greatest achievements for a thousand years and was known as the most outstanding of all the Great Emperors. The four Emperors who had worked together to kill him went away in defeat.

Just then, an incredible heavenly might descended onto the golden sky stairwell. Revelation Divine Power radiated out. At once, Ye Futian’s movements felt heavier. Even so, he continued releasing his divine power defiantly, and his whole body glowed in an attempt to withstand the sealing power of the Revelation Divine Power.

Bang! As he stepped forward, the golden sky stairwell quivered. He paused and glanced up. The frightening golden divine light and the Revelation Divine Power had combined and were wielding their influence onto the area.

He started climbing the stairwell again. Another loud explosion sounded as the golden sky stairwell let out a roar. Even things in the distance were shaking as if they had felt the impact.

Bang!

Bang!

Bang!

Ye Futian’s steps slowed, but every step set off a storm. In the beginning, it was just the golden sky stairwell trembling, but afterward, it was the entire Donghuang Imperial Palace. They shook with every step Ye Futian took.

Presently, it was completely silent within all corners of Donghuang Imperial Palace. Everyone’s gaze was focused on the same direction, where Donghuang the Great was seated.

Had Ye Futian reached?

Will Donghuang the Great kill Ye Futian this time?

Ye Futian had made it onto the golden sky stairwell step by step, and finally, he completed his last step of the stairwell and reached the top. In front of him was a path paved with golden divine shimmers. At the end of the path was another flight of stairs, although there were only nine steps this time.

At the top of the flight of stairs was an imperial palace, and in front of the imperial palace was the divine throne. And on the divine throne stood Donghuang the Great. It looked as if he had always been there.

Ye Futian felt as if his heart had been hit by something just then. There was a vague sense of deja vu; it felt as if he had been in this exact same situation before.

“Not bad!” Donghuang the Great looked at Ye Futian, who had reached the top of the sky stairwell.

“Where are the people of Ye Imperial Palace?” Ye Futian demanded to know.

Donghuang the Great got up from his throne but did not answer Ye Futian’s question. He walked down from the divine throne, down the flight of stairs, and stopped in front of Ye Futian. The terrifying Revelation Divine Power suppressed everything and was impossible to restrain.

Boom! The divine power within Ye Futian roared and burst forth, surging around him. It was his first time meeting Donghuang the Great, one of the Six Great Emperors. He could genuinely feel that immense suppressing pressure upon him that came from the Revelation Divine Power.

Buzz! Another terrifying divine power flowed around Ye Futian. His body suddenly moved and broke free from the shackles of the Revelation Divine Power. He turned into a bolt of light, and his spear pierced out. When his spear attacked, time and space seemed to be distorted. It looked like it was somewhere far, yet the next moment, it was right in front of him.

A petrifying divine light radiated from Donghuang the Great’s eyes. The area around them turned into the Revelation Divine Domain, weakening the power of the spear as it crashed onto the light screen of the divine domain.

Crackle! The Silver Spear astonishingly distorted time and space and devoured the divine power within the Revelation Divine Domain. This caused Donghuang the Great much astonishment. He then blasted the air with his palm to suppress everything.

Bang! Another loud bang and the divine power tossed Ye Futian out. He stared at Ye Futian and continued, “Path Slaying cultivation, creating a Micro Heavenly Path on your own, distorting time and space, and being able to devour the Revelation Divine Power... It won’t be long until you accomplish something great.”

Ye Futian frowned. He did not expect Donghuang the Great to be so knowledgeable about his cultivation. It was as if he knew it like the back of his hand.

Looking at the towering figure in front of him, he reflected that it was the first time he had seen the other at such close quarters. Donghuang the Great had walked down from his divine throne!
