The Legend of Futian

Chapter 2695: The Ruler of Heavenly Path

“Yu Sheng, help me seal off this area,” said Ye Futian. His request was for two reasons, and one was that he didn’t want to be disturbed by the others. The other was that he didn’t want to be ogled by the others. Only then could he comprehend in peace.

“All right.” Yu Sheng nodded, and the demonic might tossed and rolled upon his body. The demonic will suddenly turned into a demonic wall, which sealed off this space.

Ye Futian sat cross-legged before the body of the demonic god, which was still impaled by the divine ruler. He closed his eyes and released his comprehension. Wisps of Great Path auras diffused outward, surrounding the divine ruler, quietly perceiving the power contained within the divine ruler.

Ye Futian seemed to be separated from the real world at this moment. In his world of comprehension, only the divine ruler remained.

In the spatial world of this comprehension, the divine ruler fell from the firmament, reaching beyond the firmament and descending deep into the earth, traversing between heaven and the earth. Thus, it suppressed gods and demons, imprisoning the Demonic Lord here.

Ye Futian’s consciousness seemed to transform into an elusive figure, standing beneath the divine ruler, looking up at it. A supreme rule of the Great Path effused, and it was as if it was the ruler of the Heavenly Path.

This divine ruler does not seem to belong to any specific will of the Great Path but embodies the rules of the Heavenly Path itself, thought Ye Futian. By using the rules of the Heavenly Path to suppress the Demonic Lord, this fact demonstrated the horrific power of the Demonic Lord; it was just as he had suspected.

Then, this attack may have been unleashed by the Heavenly Path.

Branches and leaves diffused out of Ye Futian’s body, and the ancient tree of the world reached towards the divine ruler. Suddenly, Ye Futian seemed to turn into a divine tree that moved as its endless branches and leaves crazily swept towards the divine ruler, nibbling away the aura of rules contained within the divine ruler. There were even branches and leaves merging directly into the divine ruler.

What exactly is this ancient tree of the world?! Ye Futian wondered. When he first arrived, his spiritual soul had some response, and he felt that the ancient tree of the world might connect with this divine ruler.

Sure enough, when the spiritual soul was released, it seemed to belong to a power similar to the divine ruler. The two actually began to blend with one another.

Could it be that the ancient tree of the world itself was a tree born from the rules of Heavenly Path? Therefore, it was at the same level of power as the divine ruler.

If so, who was it that gave him this spiritual soul?

Ye Futian had asked himself this question more than once, but he still had not found the answer. Now, he was gradually learning the truth about this world, but the mystery of his birth continued to elude him.

The ancient tree of the World grew madly, infinite, and without end, climbing up and following the divine ruler all the way to the firmament, where it melded with it. Even Yu Sheng, watching on the side, was quite moved by what he saw.

Now that they were no longer the teenagers of yesteryears, he was quite aware of just what kind of divine item this divine ruler was. The divine ruler that could imprison a Demonic Lord, but answered to Ye Futian’s spiritual soul; what could this mean?

When he was young, the old man had asked him to assist Ye Futian. It seemed that he was the only one who knew how special Ye Futian was.

The radiant divine light reached above the sky as Yu Sheng released a horrific demonic will that covered the sky from top to bottom. It was meant to block the view from the outside world.

This was not the first time that Ye Futian tried to swallow a divine item. Many years ago, he had swallowed the power of Yin, but his realm today was not what it was in the days of yore. Even so, it was not easy for him to swallow the divine ruler.

The will of the ancient tree of the world madly integrated into it, little by little, trying to become one with it. Above the divine ruler, there was the will of a wonderous will of the Great Path rule that was extremely obscure. He couldn’t comprehend it right away, so he could only bring the divine ruler into the world of his Life Palace.

Time went by bit by bit. In the vast space, the will of the ancient tree of the world reached the sky and merged into the divine ruler. As frightening rumbling sounds came out, the ground was trembling, and the Great Path of the firmament was shaking as well. Outside, everyone looked up at the demonic clouds that hovered in the sky above them. This was Yu Sheng’s doing, and many demonic cultivators were not pleased about it.

But at this moment, they sensed a terrifying change taking place beyond those demonic clouds.

Ye Futian’s eyes were still closed tightly, as his powerful will swallowed the divine ruler. The divine ruler that had traversed between heaven and earth began to tremble violently and then disappeared altogether.

In the next moment, in the world of Ye Futian’s Life Palace, the ancient tree of the world sheltered the sky, but a might divine ruler was above the ancient tree, releasing an unparalleled power from the outside.

The moment the divine ruler disappeared, an indescribable terrifying demonic will erupted as if there was no power to suppress it any longer. For a time, the demonic clouds tossed and roared, as a supreme demonic will filled the boundless space, directly tossed aside the demonic might that Yu Sheng released.

The cultivators from the Devil Imperial Palace rushed over, and when they saw the divine ruler had disappeared, their hearts were beating wildly.

Ye Futian actually succeeded. Yu Sheng invited him here, and he had managed to remove the divine ruler.

But at this moment, they were paying more attention to this demonic will. Above the silent body of the demon god, there was an incomparable will of the demonic path that pervaded at this moment. It was as if the demon god had been resurrected. For a time, all the cultivators of the Devil Imperial Palace were trembling inside.

Although the divine ruler was mighty, it still could not destroy the will of the Demonic Lord but merely suppress it. Now it had disappeared to release the will of the Demonic Lord, which shocked all the cultivators from Devil Imperial Palaces beyond words. This was the demon god from the ancient era, the ancestor of the Devil World. In ancient times, he had led the Devil World in the battle of the Heavenly Path and destroyed the House Karura.

If it weren’t for the divine ruler, King Karura would not be able to overpower the Demonic Lord, and he would not have died from being torn apart.

An incredibly strong demonic will shrouded this space. It was as if everyone was in another world. The Demon Sage Yan Guiyi looked at Ye Futian and said, “You can leave now.”

Ye Futian had managed to take away the divine ruler, which made him extremely wary of Ye Futian. Previously, he thought they could just let him try, but once Ye Futian had done it, he thought it best to have him leave. If he continued to stay here and ended up inheriting the will of the Demonic Lord, it would be a terrible embarrassment to the Devil Imperial Palace.

Therefore, his priority was to ask Ye Futian to leave.

Moreover, Ye Futian had already gotten what he wanted, and now the divine ruler belonged to him. This was undoubtedly a massive gain for Ye Futian. It was the divine ruler that had suppressed the Demonic Lord. Although they couldn’t comprehend it, they could imagine the great power harbored within the divine ruler.

Ye Futian looked at Yan Guiyi and understood the other man’s concern. Even if Yan Guiyi didn’t say anything, he would never covet the will of the Demonic Lord.

The Will of the Demonic Lord belonged to Yu Sheng, and he would be the one to obtain it.

When he turned around, Ye Futian dashed directly out from this demonic might and came to the void in the distance. At this time, the shrine of the House Karura was completely covered by the demonic will. Ye Futian looked and saw that amid the demonic aura, there seemed to be a towering and sacred shadow of a demonic being that had manifested. Above the firmament, the demonic clouds were tossing and turning.

Without the suppression of the divine ruler, the demonic aura in this place had been completely revived. Demonic light was shining in the surrounding space, which was an incredibly shocking sight to behold.

It’s all yours, Ye Futian thought, then disappeared directly from where he was. Ziwei Imperial Palace still needed his supervision to ensure its safety, and there may not yet be any results here in the near future. More importantly, there were probably many from the Devil Imperial Palace who were hostile toward him. He had taken the divine ruler, so how could the people from the Devil Imperial Palace have no objection?

However, it was the condition they promised, and now, they had no time to worry about him.

When Ye Futian returned to the site of the Mahoraga relic, he saw that the cultivators from Ziwei Imperial Palace and West Imperial Palace were in cultivation. When Ye Futian came back, many of them were a little curious about what the cultivators of the Devil World wanted from him.

However, Ye Futian did not communicate with anyone but found a place to cultivate in retreat.

His action piqued everyone’s curiosity even more. Ye Futian must have gained something or would not be so eager to cultivate in retreat.

At this time, Ye Futian closed his eyes, and his consciousness entered the world of his Life Palace. At the moment, it closely resembled the real world on the outside. His consciousness turned into an elusive shadow, looking at the ancient tree of the world and the divine ruler. He wondered what the connection between the two was?

This divine ruler did not seem to have the power of any Great Path attributed to it, but why was it able to contain the will of the Demonic Lord? The moment the divine ruler was taken away by him, the will of the Demonic Lord exploded forth, clearly it had been suppressed by the divine ruler until then.

Is the divine ruler a real manifestation of the power from Heavenly Path? Ye Futian thought to himself. Ruler represented rules. Was the ruler of Heavenly Path something that was transformed by the will of Heavenly Path, to present the rules of Heavenly Path?

After putting away the divine ruler, he realized that the divine ruler was not an imperial arms at all. It was not a weapon that had been forged, but it was very likely born from the Heavenly Path, much like the power of Yin.

In reality, Ye Futian had seen this kind of divine items before. The Millet Emperor had in his possession, Wangshen Watchtower, which came from time immemorial, but it was an incomplete object. As something that may be part of a whole, it was far less powerful than this divine ruler, which was in its complete form.

Ruler rules.

Could the ruler of Heavenly Path meant the rules of Heavenly Path!

Ye Futian comprehended quietly and entered into a world of selflessness!
