Chapter 2235: The Domineering Imperial Palace
In the starry sky world, Ye Futian looked at the changes that took place in the sky. Just as he expected, the Heavenly Scroll in the hands of Ziwei the Great was the key; it was the key to unlock the mystery of the starry sky.
Now, the key had been found.
Perceiving a divine might that permeated from the sky, Ye Futian had a feeling that the Will of Ziwei the Great had been revived.
Below the starry sky, a series of extremely domineering aura diffused out. Ye Futian lowered his head to look below and saw the starlight shining. The Palace Lord of Ziwei Imperial Palace had personally led his cultivators to this place and arrived under the starry sky in just a moment’s time, looking up at that divine shadow.
Seeing this sight, those outside cultivators couldn’t help but shuddered. But, they also understood something.
The truth was that Ziwei Imperial Palace was using them. For untold many years, Ziwei Imperial Palace had not found this key to decipher the mystery of the starry sky. Now, with the lifting of the ban on Ziwei the Great and Ziwei Segmentum’s contact with the outside world, cultivators from the outside were allowed here, looking for the inheritance left by Ziwei Great.
Therefore, they allowed these outside cultivators to enter this starry sky world, the personal cultivation ground of Ziwei the Great. As to why there was a restriction being placed on the cultivation level of top figures, it was probably because once these major figureheads got into the mix, even Ziwei Imperial Palace would have a hard time controlling the situation once the mystery of the starry sky had been deciphered.
And as there were no giant-level figures among these cultivators here, the situation was much easier to control, and no one would pose a real challenge.
After the cultivators of Ziwei Imperial Palace arrived, they stood there and watched the changes in the starry sky. The Palace Lord looked solemn and bowed to the figure of Ziwei the Great in the sky. Not just him, but everyone who came from Ziwei Imperial Palace did the same. This was the god they worshipped, the master of Ziwei Segmentum.
The Palace Lord of Ziwei Imperial Palace surveyed the cultivators in the starry sky and saw the eight who had inherited the divine glory of the Great Emperor. He said loudly, “In this starry cultivation ground of Ziwei the Great, it seems that everyone had some gains, even inheriting the power of the Great Emperor. It is a most satisfactory ending. We can handle everything here from here on out. Everyone, please return to your homes.”
The mystery of the starry sky seemed to have been resolved, and they didn’t wish these outsiders to continue to linger here, so they started asking everyone to leave.
Not all the outsiders came here either. Obviously, this was not a place they could easily get to, nor would Ziwei Imperial Palace allow them to open a passageway so easily to get to this starry space.
Hearing these words from the Palace Lord of Ziwei Imperial Palace, many had a strange expression. Indeed, Ziwei Imperial Palace was not some benevolent host. They had used them to solve the mystery of the starry sky, and now they wanted to chase them away so that they could have this starry sky world to themselves.
They were skilled enough in this type of doublecross.
However, none of them moved, especially the eight who were still inheriting the divine powers; how could they give up and leave? Obviously, they were unwilling to. The same was true for other cultivators. After having finally seen the changes in the starry sky, it was possible that the inheritance of Ziwei the Great would descend, and everyone was anticipating it. How could they possibly want to leave now, at this point?
No one wanted to leave.
It was the same for Ye Futian. Clearly, he understood everything as well. It could be said that this mystery was solved almost entirely by him. Now, were they expelling him?
Cultivators of Ziwei Imperial Palace walked forward, as the Palace Lord holding the scepter from which strands of domineering aura diffused. More than that, the cultivators behind him were also releasing the coercion of the Great Path.
In a moment, under this starry sky, all the cultivators felt an extremely powerful sense of oppression. Some wanted to move, but under the pressure of the Great Path, even their breathing had hastened.
Was this to expel all the cultivators immediately?
Ziwei Imperial Palace seemed truly determined.
“Everyone, the Palace Lord has already allowed you to cultivate here for many days. Now, many have received the opportunities of the Great Path, even inherited the power of the Great Emperor; it is now time to leave, don’t be greedy!” a cultivator from Ziwei Imperial Palace said loudly.
“Ziwei Imperial Palace asked us to be here. Now that the mystery of the starry sky is unlocked, you want to take everything we have created? It’s rather unreasonable,” said a cultivator who was bathing in the divine light and who had inherited the power of the Great Emperor. The divine light upon him was as frightening as his aura was breathtaking. He did not seem to be affected at all by the oppression.
When everyone looked there, they remembered that they had the power of the Imperial Star at their disposal, and a few of them were already in the Eighth Realm themselves. Might they have a chance to compete with the cultivators of Ziwei Imperial Palace?
The people from Ziwei Imperial Palace looked at the cultivator who spoke up. They knew very well that those who had inherited the power of the Imperial Star could use its power of the Great Path in battle, hence, their audacity in a direct challenge.
These people themselves were extraordinary genius talents from the outside world. As those who stood at the peak, they had nothing to fear and feared nothing.
“Everything you have created?” The Palace Lord of Ziwei Imperial Palace glanced at the speaker. His expression was tranquil, but his deep-set eyes revealed his indifference. “This is the Ziwei Segmentum here, and you came through the passage of Ziwei Imperial Palace. I am the one who gave you the opportunity, and now you think this place belongs to your?”
The starry sky was full of oppression, and both sides were insistent in their differing opinions. Of course, there was no reasoning to be had in the first place.
“Go now. I don’t want to use my power on you.” The Palace Lord of Ziwei Imperial Palace stood there in the sky with a scepter in hand. Starlight circulated, filled with the terrifying power of the Great Path. Even those cultivators who had been baptized by the Imperial Star felt a great coercion.
None of the seven made a response to the Palace Lord. Their expressions were grave as the aura of the Great Path circulated upon their bodies. Aided by the power of the Imperial Star, rays of terrible light beams diffused out. They had not yet completed the inheritance, so even if the Palace Lord tried to stop them right now to rob them of their fruits, he would not be able to accomplish it.
None of them would hesitate to fight.
Among these seven, a few of them were supreme existence in the Eighth Realm. With the help of the Imperial Star’s power, even when they face giants at the peak of Renhuang, they would not retreat, for they were sure they would be able to contend with them; they could perceive their own strength at this moment.
But they were not quite sure about taking on the Palace Lord of Ziwei Imperial Palace. In their estimation, this master of Ziwei Segmentum may have already passed the second divine tribulation of the Great Path, which made him an absolutely terrifying existence. Anyone at this level, there was no certainty that he could be defeated even aided by the power of the Imperial Star.
Therefore, they waited with great caution. Bathed in the divine glory of the Imperial Star, they were filled up with great prowess, as if they were ready for the oncoming battle.
In the sky above, Ye Futian merely cast a glance at the situation below before turning his attention back to the changes in the starry sky. He then drifted in a certain direction.
“Stop him. It was he who unlocked the secrets of the Heavenly Scroll.” A voice came from among the cultivators of Ziwei Imperial Palace. Suddenly, the Palace Lord turned his eyes toward Ye Futian as he lifted the scepter in his hand. He pointed in the direction where Ye Futian was in the sky and said, “Stop.”
However, at the moment the scepter was raised, a god-like phantom appeared in another direction. The ancient god held a massive sky hammer, blasting in the direction of the Palace Lord of Ziwei Imperial Palace.
From top to bottom in the firmament, a terrifying divine light destroyed everything, smashing directly across the distance. The starry sky was shocked by this frightening force.
However, the Palace Lord of Ziwei Imperial Palace was still standing firmly in place, raising the scepter in his hand. Suddenly a starlight screen appeared all around him as if he was guarded by the stars, which blocked the area around them.
Boom… The sky hammer fell, cracking the starlight screen, but did not beak it. Its defense power was horrifying to imagine.
Clearly, Blind Tie also felt the terrible defense power of this star, and the cultivators in the starry sky felt amazed; it was so powerful.
They had detected how terrifying the attack was, but they couldn’t break through the defenses. How frightening was the strength of someone who had survived two major divine tribulations?
The Great Path field of the surrounding stars was probably almost in an invincible state.
Furthermore, even though cracks had appeared on that terrifying star light screen, it was being repaired rapidly. In a short moment, it was as good and perfect as it was before.
The Palace Lord of Ziwei Imperial Palace drifted higher into the sky. Suddenly, that radiant star light screen went up along with him as well.
“Probably won’t be able to stop him,” thought the cultivators who were in the starry sky. They looked in the direction Ye Futian was and saw him moving in the void with great speed toward the place where the seven stars had converged. It was also the place of the Heavenly Scroll.
This sight caused the hearts of all the cultivators to beat wildly, and many stepped out as well and headed straight in the same direction. They believed in Ye Futian!
