The Legend of Futian

Chapter 2815: The Battle of Great Emperors-To-Be 

“What kind of Power of the Law of the Heavenly Path is this?” many cultivators murmured as they stared at the scary black battleaxe. 

“According to ancient legends, the world was chaotic before the manifestation of the Heavenly Path. Within the World of Chaos, the Will of the Heavenly Path was born. Right then, a battleaxe had separated the sky from the earth. And that was the Divine Power of the Law of Creation in ancient times. Could this Divine Battleaxe be manifested from the Divine Power of Creation?” one of the Ancient Emperor mumbled as he glanced at the black battleaxe in stupefaction. 

All the manifested Divine Items brimmed with extraordinary Divine Power of the Heavenly Path were terrifying. The Divine Sword and the Door of Space were not common objects either. 

To think that the black Divine Battleaxe would have such an exceptional backstory! 

If this was indeed the Divine Power of the Law of Creation, just how powerful would it be if one were to master it? 

“What is the origin of this Heavenly Path?” The crowd was taken aback. Their hearts were full of questions no one knew the answers to. It was as if this Heavenly Path was from ancient times. 

However, the Collapse of the Heavenly Path back then was a solid fact. The present Ancient Emperors were witnesses to the event. 

Therefore, no one could explain the origin of this Heavenly Path or who controlled it, including questions like why would it give each realm a Divine Item? 

The Divine Item of Devil World was the almighty Divine Battleaxe of Creation. 

If the people of the Devil World got their hands on it, how big of a threat would the Devil Imperial Palace become? 

The Demonic Lord back then was one of those who had assaulted the Heavenly Path. Hence, no one could understand the happening before their very eyes. 

Although they could not comprehend the situation, it did not prevent them from moving toward the Divine Battleaxe to meditate on the Divine Power of the Law within it. 

If it were the genuine Divine Power of Creation from the ancient Age of Chaos, the power would be incredibly great even if they could only grasp a hint of it. 

Nevertheless, the cultivators of Devil Imperial Palace furrowed their brows. Previously, several Emperor-level forces had occupied one of the Divine Items. Even though this Divine Battleaxe was prepared for Devil Imperial Palace, many other cultivators did not give up on it. Instead, they moved toward the location of the Divine Battleaxe. 

Yu Sheng furrowed his brows, moved his gaze around, and declared, “Most of you have already claimed one of the Divine Items. So now I am claiming this Divine Battleaxe for the Devil Imperial Palace. Only the cultivators of Devil World and Ye Imperial Palace may come and utilize it. Any questions?” 

The people of Devil Imperial Palace were eager to get their hands on the black battleaxe. The Divine Battleaxe—packed with the domineering Divine Power of the Law of Creation—was a gift from the Heavenly Path. Although they could not understand its motive, they wanted to claim the Divine Item first and meditate on it. 

“That’s not necessarily the case. As Ye Futian said, all of us can meditate on the Divine Items released by the Heavenly Path. All the Divine Items here don’t have an owner. This battleaxe isn’t necessarily a gift from the Heavenly Path to you,” one of the Divine Prefecture cultivators opposed. 

Obviously, these people coveted the black Divine Battleaxe as well. The Divine Power of the Law of that Door of Space was too specific. It would be pointless to meditate on it if one was not a cultivator of the Divine Power of Space. It was the same for the Destructive Black Lotus. 

Nevertheless, this battleaxe was different. It could very well be the Divine Power of the Law from ancient times. If they could gain enlightenment on it even just a little, it could greatly benefit them. 

Thus, most of them wanted to meditate on the Divine Battleaxe. 

The Heavenly Path had already unleashed five Divine Items for the Seven Realms. If one were to include Original Realm, there would only be three Divine Items left to be manifested. 

Besides, it was unknown if there would be a Divine Item for Buddhism. 

The Buddhists had formed a class of their own as the Path of Buddhism was unique to most cultivators. 

“You can try!” Yu Sheng piped up in a domineering tone. Yan Guiyi and other cultivators, including the ancient ones, were standing beside him. They emanated their Demonic Might and filled the atmosphere with their overwhelming aura. 

The Ancient Emperors from the Divine Prefecture and other realms could not hold back their excitement. They unleashed their aura, trying to take their chance in scrambling the Divine Item of the Law birthed together with the Heavenly Path since ancient times. None of them was willing to give up on it. 

At that moment, the Divine Battleaxe was the most tempting among all the Divine Items. 

Even the cultivators of Empty Divine Realm who monopolized the Door of Space, including the cultivators of Human Realm, were looking at the Battleaxe in eagerness. 

“This Divine Battleaxe should belong to Devil World!” a voice could be heard making a remark all of a sudden. The faces of those who heard it turned grim as they lowered their heads in the direction of the voice. To their surprise, it was Ye Futian who said it. 

Ye Futian lifted his head to peer at the Divine Battleaxe. Then he shot a glance at the crowds in a condescending look, causing the people to frown at the sight of it. 

How could Ye Futian dare to butt in at this time and declare the owner of the Divine Battleaxe? 

“Ye Futian, your people have been entering all the areas of the Divine Items for cultivation! And now you’re trying to meddle with who takes the Divine Battleaxe! Don’t think you’re poking your nose into our business a little too much?” a Human Realm cultivator chided in displeasure. 

“You lot said that you would not fight for other Divine Items after claiming the Divine Sword for yourselves. So, tell me—what are you doing now?” Ye Futian replied indifferently. “Since every realm will receive their Divine Item and you’ve already chosen yours, won’t it make sense for the Devil Imperial Palace to claim the Divine Battleaxe?” 

Right after Ye Futian spoke, a formidable Divine Power exploded from his body and filled up the entire void with his Might. At once, all the cultivators turned to look at him. 

If Ye Futian were to interfere with this matter, it would be troublesome for the cultivators from other realms after considering the Devil Imperial Palace and Ye Futian’s strength combined. 

Several Emperors-To-Be took a step forward as they were unwilling to give it up just yet. They were once the Great Emperors during ancient times. Hence, they were haughty by nature. Now that the Divine Battleaxe was before their eyes, they would never walk away without trying to scramble for it. 

A few cultivators stepped forward simultaneously on several locations as they unleashed their Divine Power that pressurized the ground from the sky. In a blink, the Might of Tianshen descended and covered the place where Ye Futian was. 

Every cultivator at the scene stared at the happening and thought. Is there going to be a battle between Emperors-To-Be? 

Earlier on, Ye Futian had displayed his overpowering strength by inflicting significant damage to an Emperor-To-Be with just a flick of his finger. Despite that, a few Emperors-To-Be fired attacks at Ye Futian to seize their chance to cultivate on it. 

Ye Futian immediately got up and stepped into the void. At once, a blood-curdling Divine Power pressed on his body from the firmament. Yet, it could not break through his defense at all. The area around Ye Futian seemed to turn into his impenetrable domain. 

“What a powerful defense!” The pupils of the onlookers shrunk as they watched Ye Futian in action. Both his offense and defense were overwhelmingly strong. Even the combined attacks of the Emperors-To-Be could not take him down. 

“It’s a battle of Emperors-To-Be!” The cultivators of Heavenly Realm were gathered at Heavenly Palace, which was above the sky. Ji Wudao looked down from there with an intrigued look. 

According to the prophecy, the Battle of the Emperors-To-Be might be the prologue of the Age of the Gods. Someday in the future, there will be a battle between Great Emperors. This clash might very well be the foreshadowing of the War of the future Great Emperors, so he was looking forward to it.
