After the crowd left, Ye Futian looked at Xi Chiyao and said, “Thanks.”

“Palace Lord Ye, aren’t you acting too distant?” replied Xi Chiyao with a faint smile.

“Congratulations, Palace Lord Chiyao,” Ye Futian also replied with a smile. It hadn’t been long since they last parted ways. He never imagined that Xi Chiyao had reached the Two Tribulation Plane and inherited the position of West Imperial Palace Lord.

“Palace Lord Ye deserves some credit for this,” said Xi Chiyao. She was clearly referring to the Sub-divine elixir that Ye Futian had concocted. Of course, aside from that, there was also the factor of the West Imperial Palace’s teachings.

Ye Futian commented, “However, now that the world has undergone a huge change, Palace Lord Chiyao’s cultivation has metamorphosed at the right time. You can now face the current situation. The relics of the various gods have appeared in the world now. This is a brand-new era for the cultivation world.”

Xi Chiyao added, “I also feel that way. The relics of the various gods have appeared in the world now, and the cultivation world will welcome a transformation. There will most likely be more and more Tribulation Plane cultivators in the future. As for Renhuangs with flawless Great Paths, they will be found everywhere. It will no longer be only achievable by monstrous figures in top forces.”

Ye Futian nodded in agreement. No one knew what would happen to the cultivation world in the future.

Ye Futian looked back at Sword Saint. Sword Saint’s temperament seemed to change, more closely resembling a demonic cultivator’s. He asked, “Elder Brother, how does it feel?”

“I will probably need a very long time to digest the teachings of the Devil Emperor completely,” replied Sword Saint.

“Hmm,” responded Ye Futian as he nodded his head. His Third Brother Gu Dongliu was also beside Sword Saint. Now, his two Elder Brothers were advancing to the pinnacle of the cultivation world. He naturally was happy.

Rumble.

Just then, the ground trembled violently. In the heavens above, the clouds changed color. Everyone was slightly surprised as they looked out into the distance. At the end of Karura Imperial City, demonic light consumed the sky, and a terrifying demonic whirlpool formed. On the other side, an endless dazzling spatial divine light shone.

“Such a terrifying aura,” Xi Chiyao said as she also looked over in that direction. She sensed the powerful will of the emperor. It was unparalleled.

“Hmm, it should be a battle between two top figures,” said Ye Futian as he nodded. He had felt such a terrifying battle aura before from Tianyan the Great possessing Wang Xiao’s body.

The two storms drew closer to each other in an instant. Although Ye Futian and the others were far away from the battlefield, the destructive divine light still swept over them. In the distant heavens, two gigantic figures could faintly be seen. They were like deities.

One was the figure of a demon, while the other was a shining God of Space.

“A battle seems to have erupted between the Devil World and the Empty Divine Realm,” the original West Imperial Palace Lord said.

Ye Futian also looked at the demon-like silhouette. He had met this person before. He was the number one Demon Sage of the Devil World, Yan Guiyi.

Yan Guiyi wielded a scarlet halberd and battled in his demon form. It was apparent how powerful the cultivator he faced was. His opponent should be a compelling figure from the Empty Divine Realm.

“They should be Yan Guiyi from the Devil World and Dugu Wuxie, the head disciple of the Evil Emperor of the Empty Divine Realm and the leader of Empty Mountain,” continued the original West Imperial Palace Lord. “Both of them are figures which rank close to the top of the Demigod List. They have a powerful combat ability, and they both seem to be wielding imperial arms in this battle. They should be battling over a significant relic; otherwise, the two of them would not resort to battling head-on.”

“It most likely involves a clash between the Devil World and the Empty Divine Realm,” Xi Chiyao also added. This battle between the two of them had essentially escalated to a fight between the Devil World and the Empty Divine Realm.

Ye Futian looked over in their direction. The Devil World and the Empty Divine Realm were allies when they invaded the Divine Prefecture. They had stood on the same front. However, once they entered the tomb of the gods, as expected, this alliance did not last, and a large-scale battle erupted.

“Yan Guiyi is ranked higher up on the Demigod List than Dugu Wuxie. He should have the upper hand,” explained the original West Imperial Palace Lord.

“Let’s go take a look,” said Ye Futian. Their group advanced very quickly. The others also followed behind them.

The destructive storm still shook the ancient barren city. Terrifying auras swept out. It was as though divine light was about to annihilate the world in the heavens above. It was extremely terrifying. Many people realized that there was a significant relic over there for two super cultivators to have begun battling.

When Ye Futian’s group approached the battlefield, the fighting ceased. However, the two figures still stood across each other in the sky. Their auras were still terrifying and enveloped the vast space. Down below, the lineup of cultivators from the Devil World and the Empty Divine Realm was menacing.

Be it the Devil World or the Empty Divine Realm; both sides had sent their strongest lineups to the tomb of the gods. This time, they were doing this for their forces and their cultivation.

Yu Sheng was also present. He was standing on the ground below. There stood many top-level cultivators beside Yu Sheng. The Devil World had indeed sent out their finest members.

“Dugu, this was originally the battlefield of the ancestors of the Devil World. Why is the Empty Divine Realm contending for it?” questioned Yan Guiyi as he pointed the scarlet halberd in his hand towards Dugu Wuxie. The latter also stared back at him. This was not just the battlefield of the ancestors of the Devil World. It belonged to House Karura, one of the Eight Legions.

House Karura was proficient in movement techniques involving speed. Their achievements in the domain of the Great Path of Space were astonishing. Their attack and defense were both fantastic. For the cultivators of the Empty Divine Realm, the teachings of House Karura were undoubtedly a huge temptation. Hence, when they found the relic of House Karura, they came into conflict with the Devil World.

“Under the Heavenly Path are the Eight Legions. Since there is a relic of the ancestors of the Devil World here, it naturally belongs to the Devil World. If you want fateful encounters, find the lands of the other Eight Legions. There might be places suitable for you,” Yu Sheng also said down below. “If you want to fight, then the Devil World does not mind fighting with the Empty Divine Realm.”

“Presumptuous,” said a cultivator of the Empty Divine Realm who stared at Yu Sheng. Ye Futian had seen many of these cultivators before. He had met Shi Xie, the direct disciple of the Evil Emperor many years ago, and Evil Sage Mo Qingge. They were staring at Yu Sheng. This Devil Emperor paid a lot of attention to the next generation of cultivators and developed them in Devil Imperial Palace, giving them extraordinary status. The cultivators who followed Yu Sheng here were also top-level cultivators of the Devil World.

The combat ability of the Devil World was extremely domineering. If they truly fought, they would do so at all cost. This was the relic of the ancestors of the Devil World. It indeed should be under them.

“The inheritance of the ancestors of the Devil World belongs to you. The teachings of House Karura belong to us,” said Dugu Wuxie as he stared at Yan Guiyi.

“That won’t do,” Yan Guiyi immediately rejected. “House Karura was originally the sworn enemy of the Devil World. Everything that belongs to them similarly belongs to the Devil World now. This is not up for discussion. If you do not leave now, the other relics of the Eight Legions will most likely be plundered by other forces.”

Continuing to delay here was detrimental for both parties.

From the attitudes of Yan Guiyi and the members of the Devil World, Dugu Wuxie knew that the Devil World would not relent and would not hand the relic over. If his side wanted to take it, they could only do so by fighting them all. The members of the Devil World would not give them a second option.

“We will remember this,” said Dugu Wuxie. He then retracted his aura and ordered, “Retreat.”

As he said this, one by one, the silhouettes left with flashes, becoming countless beams of spatial divine light. They disappeared without a trace very quickly. It was as though nothing had happened just now.

After the members of the Empty Divine Realm retreated, this place naturally belonged to the Devil World. Yan Guiyi pointed his scarlet halberd to the sky. Beams of crimson demonic light immediately shot up into the heavens and enveloped the vast space, forming a terrifying demonic domain.

“This domain is under the control of the Devil World. Cultivators from other worlds, leave now. No one aside cultivators from the Devil World shall be allowed to step foot in here,” Yan Guiyi declared loudly. His voice reverberated in space. Devil Imperial Palace ruled this domain. This place where House Karura was would belong to the Devil World. Only the cultivators of the Devil World could step foot in here to cultivate in the domain.

Many cultivators were disappointed. If that were the case, they would not have the chance to cultivate and seek fateful encounters here. They could only go somewhere else.

“A demonic imperial arm,” a demonic cultivator said as he looked at Sword Saint. Sword Saint had a demonic imperial arm. This should also belong to Devil Imperial Palace.

Ye Futian glanced at the demonic cultivator and ignored him. His gaze landed on Yu Sheng’s figure and he greeted, “Yu Sheng.”

Yu Sheng came up to Ye Futian’s group and said, “The ancestors of the Devil World once battled House Karura here. Many of their corpses will most likely be here.”

“Hmm,” Ye Futian nodded his head. The six Great Emperors previously came to the tomb of the gods. Even the Devil Emperor might have come here. Various Great Emperor level forces might be leading the cultivators of their Imperial Palaces in finding relics even though they themselves were not taking part.

“For the Devil World to rule over this domain is a blessing for the cultivators of the Devil World,” said Ye Futian. He looked ahead at the temple of House Karura. An extremely astonishing aura emanated from up ahead. There was also a peerless divine arm that descended from the heavens and stabbed into the ground. That region was enveloped in a menacing aura and it was hard to make out what was within it.

“You can cultivate here. We will seek fateful encounters elsewhere,” said Ye Futian. Yan Guiyi had already declared that this place belonged to the cultivators of the Devil World. Although Ye Futian’s relationship with Yu Sheng was special, Yu Sheng did not represent the Devil World. Yu Sheng had yet to succeed the Devil Emperor. He could not speak on behalf of the entire Devil World.

Ye Futian naturally did not wish to trouble Yu Sheng; hence he took the initiative and offered to leave.

“Leave the demonic saber behind,” a demonic cultivator said. His cultivation was extraordinary. However, Yu Sheng swept a cold glance at him. His gaze was overbearing. Yet the other party did not evade. He said, “What’s this? Are you helping an outsider?”

Ye Futian frowned. From the looks of it, Yu Sheng’s position in the Devil Imperial Palace had rubbed quite a number of people the wrong way. His cultivation had yet to reach the point where he was only second to the Devil Emperor, so he could not suppress everyone. Some extraordinary people had yet to accept him.

“Silence,” chided Yu Sheng. His tone was cold and domineering. He then looked at Ye Futian and said, “You can stay and see whether House Karura has any suitable relics for yourselves.”

It was not appropriate for Ye Futian’s group to take the items of the ancestors of the Devil World; however, if there were suitable relics among the items of House Karura, Yu Sheng would allow them to take them.

“What is the meaning of this?” the demonic cultivator from before said indifferently. “Devil Imperial Palace was ready to fight with the Empty Divine Realm to take everything here. Now, you are just going to hand it over to someone else?”

When Yu Sheng heard the other party’s words, he turned around and a vast demonic might swept out. After coming out of seclusion, he had yet to battle anyone!
