When Ye Futian heard Xi Chiyao’s words, he smiled at her and said, “Goddess Chiyao, do you mean to say that you wish to test me?”
Xi Chiyao’s cultivation was at the same level as Hua Junlai from the Haotian Clan. She was an eighth-tier Renhuang. However, from the way the cultivators of the West Imperial Palace acted, Xi Chiyao’s cultivation should be far stronger than that of Hua Junlai. Unfortunately, Ye Futian knew little about these peerless figures of the Divine Prefecture.
They were both cultivators of the Ancient God Clan, but there would certainly be a difference between them. After all, Xi Chiyao was the descendant of the West Emperor and was also the first heir of the West Imperial Palace.
Ye Futian wondered how her abilities would compare to Xiao Mu’s because he was a direct disciple of the Devil Emperor.
Ye Futian wanted to test her abilities. He was also curious what level of combat ability a top monstrous figure of the Divine Prefecture had.
The cultivators of the West Imperial Palace had displeased expressions. As expected, this top genius of the Original Realm was extremely arrogant. They had investigated everything about him before this. It was indeed the case that in Ye Futian’s long development, almost no one of his generation managed to suppress him. No wonder he behaved so presumptuously.
“If that is the case, I also wish to test out Renhuang Ye’s abilities myself,” said Xi Chiyao. Divine light circled around her body as she looked at Ye Futian with her beautiful gaze. Ye Futian’s figure flashed. He traversed the space in an instant and appeared high in the sky.
Xi Chiyao raised her head slightly as she took light steps forward. Divine light flashed, and she also floated upwards. In an instant, the two of them appeared in a region extremely high above the ground. In the Heavenly Mandate Academy, cultivators similarly rose into the sky. There were cultivators from the academy as well as the West Imperial Palace. They stood at different locations as they looked up at the two silhouettes in the sky.
Ye Futian and Xi Chiyao stood across from each other. Their figures were extremely dazzling to behold. Ye Futian’s Divine Body of the Great Path shone brilliantly. Xi Chiyao was like a peerless goddess, noble and arrogant. Her temperament was without equal. Her body was bathed in divine imperial glory, causing people not to dare look at her directly. It was as though she was a true goddess.
Xi Chiyao was the cultivator who had the highest compatibility with the teachings of the West Emperor. No one like her had appeared in the West Imperial Palace in the past millennia. She was the strongest person who awakened to its power. Hence, she had long been viewed as the first heir by the West Imperial Palace. In the current West Imperial Palace, no one could challenge her position.
Wherever she went, she would always have multitudes of cultivators escorting her. The various cultivators of the West Imperial Palace would be there to protect her. This time, she had come to the Lower Worlds. That meant that the cultivators of the West Imperial Palace had also come along to the Original Realm.
“Goddess Chiyao, shall we?” invited Ye Futian. He seemed polite.
“Renhuang Ye, your cultivation Plane is lower than mine. You should start us off,” replied Xi Chiyao. From their exchange, others could see how proud they were. They were reluctant to make the first move.
From afar, the wills of cultivators descended upon them. Many cultivators below knew that they were not the only ones around. The West Imperial Palace coming over to the Heavenly Mandate Academy had drawn the attention of many of the top forces from the Central Emperor Realm in the Divine Prefecture. Many of them had already arrived, but they had kept themselves out of sight and had not made themselves known.
During the battle against the Lost Clan, Ye Futian suppressed Hua Junlai with his overwhelming might. Now, would he emerge victorious against Xi Chiyao, the top monstrous figure of the West Sea Domain and the Princess of the West Imperial Palace?
“If that is the case, then let’s attack at the same time,” said Ye Futian with a smile. As he said this, the pressure of the Great Path enveloped the vast space, covering this part of the sky. A formless storm encapsulated the vast land. The humming of swords sounded, and Sword Will circled all around the space.
Xi Chiyao similarly released her own aura. This aura was unfamiliar to Ye Futian. It was a Yin aura that seemed to contain a sharpness to it and appeared indestructible. He had never encountered an opponent with such an aura before.
Xi Chiyao was unique.
The heavens and earth seemed to dampen. In the heavens above, raindrops appeared and drizzled down on the Sword Will that Ye Futian had gathered. The next moment, his Sword Will was actually drowned out by the raindrops.
Ye Futian revealed a strange look. He extended his hand, and the raindrops landed in his palm. They actually pricked his skin, and a slit appeared on his palm. As the raindrops kept pouring down, his palm gradually turned red. Blood appeared, and he felt a bit of pain.
“Rain of swords!” Ye Futian mumbled.
The raindrops also landed on his body, piercing right through his clothes and directly landing on his skin. He felt an extremely uncomfortable prickling pain.
Ever since he comprehended the sacred remains of Shenjia the Great Emperor and forged a Body of Way, Ye Futian’s flesh was extremely powerful. Even top monstrous figures of the same cultivation Plane as him could not break through the defense of his flesh. Their powerful attacks would not affect him when they landed on his body.
Yet, these raindrops had actually pricked his skin and could make him feel pain. One could imagine how much power was within these raindrops.
As expected, it was as he had sensed. The Yin aura bore an indestructible feel to it. It felt impenetrable. These raindrops were like water that could penetrate through rock. It was a form of will and a type of Way that became a part of Xi Chiyao.
When Ye Futian looked at Xi Chiyao again, he was clearly more serious. He was no longer as casual as before. Before they even exchanged blows, he already sensed how terrifying Xi Chiyao was. She might pose a greater threat to him than Xiao Mu.
As expected, the most prominent figures of the Divine Prefecture could not be underestimated. No wonder the cultivators of the West Imperial Palace were so confident in Xi Chiyao that they even came to invite Ye Futian to join the West Imperial Palace.
Buzz.
Suddenly, an extremely powerful Sword Will gathered in the sky. Swordsmanship resonated, and a storm of the Great Path swept up from around Ye Futian’s figure. It caused the raindrops to be unable to come in contact with his body. They were destroyed by the Sword Will. When he unleashed the attack power of the Great Path, the raindrops couldn’t touch him.
Terrifying Sword Will swept across the space. In an instant, Sword Will filled the sky. A storm of frightening Sword Qi that contained billions of swords charged towards Xi Chiyao. However, Xi Chiyao quietly stood there, seemingly unperturbed.
At the same time, a curtain of rain fell from the sky. It suddenly began to rain all around. Countless raindrops plummeted down from the sky, pouring down on the howling Sword Will. The raindrops pierced the swords. The countless raindrops directly drowned out the astonishing storm of Sword Qi. The countless humming swords were pierced through and could not approach Xi Chiyao.
The rain grew heavier. Of course, this was no ordinary rain. It was a domain of the Great Path, Xi Chiyao’s domain of the Great Path.
Rumble. With Ye Futian’s figure as the center, a starry world appeared. Stars circled around him and enveloped the vast space. The rumbling of the Great Path could be heard. The stars all contained unparalleled power.
The divine light of the various stars coalesced around Ye Futian’s figure. When Xi Chiyao saw this scene, she did not plan to give Ye Futian the chance to gather his power. Her figure shifted. This was the first time she had moved since the two of them began their exchange. Before this, she had always remained standing there quietly.
This goddess stepped forward with peerless grace. She lifted her slender and delicate hands. Immediately, the surrounding curtain of rain moved with her arms. Countless raindrops coalesced and actually formed swords. It seemed as though the swords formed from the rain did not have any power behind them at all.
Xi Chiyao pointed forwards, and the multitude of rain swords pierced straight towards the various stars.
The stars were gigantic and did not appear to be something that swords formed from rainwater could affect. However, when the rain swords landed on one star, they actually kept attacking one spot on the star. More astonishingly, as more rain gathered, the rain sword grew larger. Gradually, it formed a divine sword that resembled a waterfall from a heavenly river. It let out a violent sound.
Rumble. The sword slowly pierced into the star. Then, like bamboo splitting apart, the divine waterfall sword stabbed into the star and frenziedly rampaged inside of it. In an instant, the star collapsed and was destroyed.
This did not happen to just one star. All around Ye Futian, the various stars that had gathered were all destroyed from the attacks of the rain swords. One by one, the stars exploded and shattered. Ye Futian did not have the chance to prepare for an attack at all.
Xi Chiyao appeared fabulous. She lowered her head and looked down at Ye Futian. After all the stars around him shattered, he seemed defenseless. However, Xi Chiyao was still circled by the rain swords. She appeared imposing.
“Renhuang Ye, be careful,” said Xi Chiyao as she looked at Ye Futian with her beautiful gaze. Divine light circled her body. During their battle, it appeared even brighter and more dazzling than before. As she said these words, she pointed a finger downward. Immediately, countless raindrops poured down from the sky directly towards Ye Futian. The torrential rain coalesced into indestructible swords that flooded this part of the sky as they charged towards him.
Although this attack was powerful, Xi Chiyao knew Ye Futian. This top monstrous figure of the Original Realm had defeated peerless Proud Sons of Heaven such as Xiao Mu and Hua Junlai. He would not perish from being unable to defend himself against her attack. Ye Futian was not that weak.
However, it definitely would not be easy for him to want to defeat her!
