Chapter 2401: Pleas From Various Forces?

Ye Futian looked below. Naturally, he knew that Fang Ru was right that the will of Ziwei the Great was hidden amongst the celestial stars. He could indeed borrow them in battle, but his Plane was will a little low after all. He was only seventh-level Renhuang Plane, so his powers were limited even after borrowing from the celestial stars, let alone in comparison with the actual Great Emperor.

In fact, he didn’t even manage to release 30 percent of the celestial powers. Otherwise, even if Fang Ru were only one step away from becoming Great Emperor, he would still be obliterated.

So what if he was as powerful as one could be short of being a Great Emperor? The Will of the Great Emperor was carved into the celestial stars. The explosive power of its attack was equivalent to a portion of the power of the Great Emperor. It was just that Ye Futian couldn’t unleash it fully.

Of course, even then, one could see how strong Fang Ru was. Even with such a powerful attack, all it did was make his finger bleed; it didn’t actually waver him or injure his Body of Way.

At this point, Fang Ru’s aura was still terrifying, and the Small World continued to circle him. The lights of the Great Paths of the skies streamed into the Small World and resonated with it, contending with the divine might of the celestial stars.

Princess Donghuang looked toward the figure high up in the sky and said, “I gave you a chance before. Now, I’m giving you another chance. Follow me back to the Imperial Palace. If you are not directly related to him, we’ll close one eye and stop chasing after you. But if you continue to be stubborn…”

As she paused, her eyes turned cold, and her aura became dangerously sharp. She then continued, “You will die here.”

As she finished speaking, several figures walked out from behind her. Their mighty aura subdued that of even the celestial skies. Every one of them was an apex cultivator, and their terrifying auras could be sensed from miles away.

Fang Ru levitated again. Divine lights surrounded him as his might fired up into the skies.

The hearts of the Divine Prefecture cultivators trembled. That was the princess of the Divine Prefecture and the only daughter of Donghuang the Great. So what if Ye Futian was an unmatched genius? He was lucky that the princess was willing to give him a chance to follow her back to the Imperial Palace to clear up the issue. If Ye Futian didn’t comply, that would mean that he had lied to her.

If that were the case, she could kill her then and there. Leaving him alive would serve no purpose. He could even betray them and join the other worlds in the future.

Princess Donghuang’s words made many of the Divine Prefecture forces that had a grudge with Ye Futian laugh inside. Ye Futian was way too confident. He even dared to start a war with the Imperial Palace. If that wasn’t a death wish, then what was?

No place in the Divine Prefecture could accommodate him at this point; even his attempt this time to escape into the crevices of space to hide away from the Divine Prefecture was futile. The cultivators here could travel across worlds to chase after him, so there’s no way he could escape. And if he left this celestial region, he would die even faster. Without borrowing power from the celestial skies, cultivators on the level of Fang Ru could easily deal with him. He could take Ye Futian’s life with a snap of his finger. They were of a fundamentally different level.

The expression of the cultivators from the Heavenly Mandate Academy and the Ziwei Segmentum all changed; they all felt a sense of despair when Princess Donghuang gave the kill order.

Was there really no hope for Ye Futian?

How did things become like this?

At this point, it was as if every way was leading to a dead end.

The cultivators from the other worlds all sneered inside. Ye Futian came out of nowhere and made a name for himself with his unparalleled talents. They even thought that a phenom of the era was about to rise from the Land of the Divine Prefecture, which would become a threat to them. It was especially so for the Dark World, who had battled Ye Futian several times before.

A powerful aura started to engulf the skies above Ye Futian as waves of dark divine lights started spreading towards there. The Divine Prefecture Imperial Palace cultivators frowned, then they saw the cultivators of the Dark World arriving. They turned out to be from the Dark Court. The leading figure’s aura was especially terrifying; it was an apex-level cultivator as well. He was dressed in all-black, and a terrifying aura of obliteration surrounded him.

Princess Donghuang looked toward them. What were the people of the Dark Court doing here?

“Donghuang the Great was the prodigy of an era and met no opponent in his time. He spurred the great prosperity of the Divine Prefecture. Such an incredible being. I’m sure he wouldn’t actually want to pick on the younger generation. Even if Ye Futian was related to Emperor Ye Qing, Emperor Ye Qing had already passed on. I’m sure that Donghuang the Great would remember their friendship and let some things go instead of taking out his grudge on a young boy,” the cultivator from the Dark Court said. This caused those from the Divine Prefecture to show a strange expression.

The Dark Court wanted to protect Ye Futian?

They quickly realized what was happening. The Dark Court had some conflict with Ye Futian. If that had happened before this, naturally, they would want Ye Futian dead instead of him becoming their enemy. But now, knowing that Ye Futian could be related to Emperor Ye Qing and that the Divine Prefecture Imperial Palace even took action to kill him, the Dark Court instead wanted Ye Futian to stay alive.

But as a result, wouldn’t that enlarge the conflict between Ye Futian and the Divine Prefecture?

Naturally, that was the situation they wanted to see happen.

“I thought so, too, of course. Donghuang the Great wouldn’t take things out on a youngster,” a cultivator from the Empty Divine realm stepped forward as well. Under the celestial skies, what was happening now seemed rather odd.

Back then, Ye Futian stood on the side of the Divine Prefecture in a war with the Dark World and the Empty Divine Realm, and they had even won the war for them.

What was this supposed to be now?

The Divine Prefecture Imperial Palace wanted to kill Ye Futian, and the Dark World and the Empty Divine Realm came to protect him instead.

That was certainly interesting. The cultivators of the two worlds didn’t stand out just now. They must have been waiting for the relationship between Ye Futian and the Divine Prefecture to deteriorate completely. Only when Princess Donghuang gave the order to eliminate Ye Futian did they actually step out.

“You have no right to meddle in the Divine Prefecture’s business,” Princess Donghuang said coldly as her gaze swept across the cultivators from the two groups.

“The Original Realm doesn’t belong to any single organization today. We’ve mentioned this before. Perhaps it is time to revise the division of the Original Realm. Ye Futian is a cultivator of the Original Realm, and we think he won’t belong to the Divine Prefecture or be a subordinate of the Princess. So what right does that give Princess to decide his fate?” the cultivator from the Dark Court continued.

Just then, Yu Sheng led his group to step forward as well. As such, the Devil World seemed to be protecting Ye Futian too.

This made Fang Ru frown as there were actually three worlds intervening now.

They all wanted to stop them from killing Ye Futian.

Just then, another group of cultivators arrived from the skies, but they walked toward Princess Donghuang. The auras of these cultivators exuded justice and righteousness, and each of them had an outstanding temperament. They were cultivators from the Human Realm.

One of the cultivators came before Princess Donghuang and said softly, “Princess, past matters have already been settled, and now they are all just the past. Surely an unparalleled figure like Donghuang the Great wouldn’t fuss over things of the past. Why should the Princess care about a mere Renhuang Plane cultivator? I’m afraid that could even affect the Great Emperor’s reputation. How about we just leave him be?”

Unexpectedly, the Human Realm was standing up for Ye Futian as well. However, they seemed to be coming from a slightly different standpoint!
