Chapter 2823: Ye Futian’s Divine Item

In the ninety-nine heavens in the Heaven Realm, more and more cultivators were entering the demigod level while soaking in the power of the Heavenly Path.

Even more had passed through divine tribulations and were cleansed by the Heavenly Path. This ablution of the Heavenly Path was a real ablution that differed from those previously and made the cultivators much stronger. Hence, those who went through tribulations here were considered lucky to have received this rare opportunity.

Even many had started to take on the challenge to reach the Emperor-To-Be level. They were those that were top-ranking and on the demigod list.

This present day, Lord Shaman of the Dark Court was soaking in the power of the Black Lotus. Divine power circulated him and was growing stronger by the minute. Above the skies, an incomparable divine might appeared, and Lord Shaman’s aura also became exceedingly frightening, causing many people to turn to look at him.

Is he about to become a Great Emperor? the cultivators wondered to themselves. Lord Shaman’s cultivation level had been high all this time, and after attaining the Black Lotus, he could finally take the final step to becoming a Great Emperor. The aura he exuded now scared the cultivators in the Dark Court into withdrawal.

The numerous cultivators in the ninety-nine heavens also drew back. They knew that Lord Shaman would be undergoing his divine tribulation soon and would be on his way to becoming a Great Emperor.

Many people involuntarily looked toward Ye Qingyao. Lord Shaman and Ye Qingyao seemed to be vying for the spot of ruler of the Dark World. Now, Lord Shaman had become an Emperor-To-Be first and would start his journey to become a Great Emperor. For Ye Qingyao, this was not an ideal situation.

However, Ye Qingyao did not seem concerned and continued her cultivation as usual.

The Divine Tribulation of the Heavenly Path came down, and Lord Shaman raised his head to look at the sky. His eyes contained a deep hunger. He was finally on his way to becoming a Great Emperor. Sooner or later, the Dark World would be his.

After a few months, Li Daoshou of the Divine Prefecture received his Divine Tribulation of the Great Path. As the first ranked in Donghuang Imperial Palace after Donghuang the Great, he also passed his tribulation and started his journey to becoming a Great Emperor.

On seeing this, the cultivators in the ninety-nine heavens all looked shocked upon hearing this. Previously, only the ancient Emperors had broken through and became an Emperor-To-Be, but they had merely regained the level they had been at before. It was now much more straightforward. Yet now, it was the cultivators of today who would be starting on the Great Emperor’s journey.

This also meant that the Age of the Gods was about to begin.

More and more cultivators had become Emperors-To-Be, but Ye Futian took no notice. He continued immersing himself in his cultivation, and it was only almost after three years that he stopped cultivating. Although he did not have high expectations, he still did want to know if the Heavenly Path had prepared a gift for the Original Realm as well.

Ye Futian examined the sky above the ninety-nine heavens. He reflected that all the cultivators had leveled up in the three years, with a few even becoming Emperors-To-Be. He felt overwhelmed with emotions and muttered to himself, “The era before the disintegration of the Old Heavenly Path was called the Age of the Gods. If the Old Heavenly Path had not disintegrated, the Age of the Gods would probably have continued until today and certainly flourish to an even greater extent.”

The West Emperor, who was beside him, understood what he meant. He added, “Although cultivation is difficult, there are so many sentient beings on earth that it would be impossible to count. Over millions and millions of years, it is not impossible that a group of extraordinary beings could be born. If the Heavenly Path had not disintegrated, there would naturally be cultivators on the way to becoming Great Emperors. At present, Emperors-To-Be are appearing one after another. One group is like me, who were formally ancient Emperors; the other group is made of cultivators from the present age. They were previously already the finest of the bunch, and with the addition of countless years of cultivation, their cultivation level reached the maximum possible. Now with the appearance of the Heavenly Path, the road to becoming a Great Emperor is open. And with the bestowment of the divine items and the Tree of Enlightenment, it is natural that things would be as it is now. It is not as easy as you think it to be.”

Ye Futian nodded after hearing West Emperor’s words. He was right. After the disintegration of the Heavenly Path, it took many cultivators and many years of accumulation before this group of top-notch cultivators arrived. And now, with this rare opportunity presented to them, it was normal that many cultivators would be able to become Emperors.

He glanced at the cultivators from Ye Imperial Palace. They, too, had made significant progress, and a few had even become demigods. They were still hard at work, cultivating.

“Who do you think will become the first Emperor-To-Be within Ye Imperial Palace?” the West Emperor asked.

“Out of them all, Supreme Swordlord has the highest level of cultivation. Previously he was already a demigod and is only a short distance away from moving up. After that, he obtained a divine sword, so he had the best chance. It would probably be Swordlord. Aside from him, I’m not very clear about the others,” Ye Futian replied.

“Yes.” West Emperor nodded. “Blind Tie’s cultivation is pretty refined. He trains with the divine powers of the Heaven-splitting Divine Axe and the divine mountain. He has found the best-suited cultivation method for himself. He also stands a chance of becoming an Emperor-To-Be in the future, along with a few others who aren’t half bad. The cultivators of Ye Imperial Palace all have great potential. There may even be a few Great Emperors in the future.”

If there was ever such a day, how glorious would Ye Imperial Palace be?

Ye Futian would create a new age apart from the Six Great Emperors.

“Definitely,” Ye Futian laughed and replied. When he had leveled up some more, he would become capable of gifting better training opportunities to the cultivators of Ye Imperial Palace, just like the Old Heavenly Path had done with the Eight Legions in the past.

As the two chatted idly, numerous people lifted their heads as finally another divine might appeared in the heavens. Their hearts raced as they waited.

Sure enough, the Heavenly Path was about to bestow an eighth divine item. What would it be this time?

A terrifying demonic Qi suddenly appeared in the heavens. It swept through the land, and its frightening air of dominance struck fear into the hearts of many.

Would this divine item be a Demonic supreme treasure?

The previous seven divine items included those to do with the Heaven Realm, Devil World, and the Buddhists. Now, the eighth item was to be a Demonic item!

“This is no coincidence; it’s for the Original Realm!”

“This Heavenly Path has a conscious of its own and knows what’s happening in the world. Therefore the gift for the Original World will be a demonic item.”

Everyone knew that Ye Futian was the descendent of Emperor Ye Qing, and Emperor Ye Qing once ruled over the demons in the world. He was later exorcized.

The Heavenly Path bestowing a demonic item now obviously meant it was for Ye Futian, which could also be said for the Original Realm.

Ye Futian was the representative figure of the Original Realm.

At that current moment, Ye Futian was also feeling rather shocked. Even though he had not held high expectations for this divine item, he was still surprised upon sensing the demonic power. Did the Heavenly Path have such a thorough understanding of the beings of the world?

Did the bestowment of the eighth divine item mean that it wished to rule over the world again?

Finally, the divine item descended from the heavens. It was an enormous Divine Demon Diagram that was so large that it obscured the sky.

This Divine Demon Diagram seemed to contain another world within it. The Honghuang Realm from ancient times was carved and had the sun, moon, and stars circling it. It included wind, fire, thunderbolts, rivers, mountains, and all tribes. Countless divine lights shone down. It was as if the people were looking at a beautiful and stunning picture of the Demon World.

From within seeped out a terrifying demonic aura, and different ones at that.

“It’s the supreme treasure of the Demon World.” The cultivators were astonished. Although this item might not be as good as the Heaven-splitting Divine Axe or the Nine Dragon True Qi, it was a supreme treasure and extremely valuable for those cultivating demonic powers.

Would Ye Futian continue Emperor Ye Qing’s legacy and rule over the demonic clans?

He indeed seemed to already have many Demons under him, just that he faced constraints due to his current level. The demonic clans had been in decline right after the fall of Emperor Ye Qing. Would this divine diagram bring about a change of fortunes?
