The Legend of Futian

Chapter 2694: Entrust

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

These imperial-level forces were not a unified front. For example, the Buddha Lords dispatched before had held different positions. Tongchan Buddha Lord and Shenyan Buddha Lord aimed to destroy Ye Futian, but the few Buddha Lords who appeared later clearly thought differently. They were friendly to Ye Futian and didn’t avenge Shenyan Buddha Lord.

The same was true with the Dark Court and the Devil Imperial Palace. Previously, some cultivators from the Dark Court expressed their interest in entering the relic, but Ye Qingyao, the Reaper from the Dark Court, did not allow it. Likewise, Yu Sheng represented a group of people within the Devil World. Apparently, he had not yet completely conquered all the cultivators from Devil Imperial Palace.

Even so, it was enough. Under such a display of unity, it was obviously impossible for anyone to continue challenging Ziwei Imperial Palace’s cultivators and rob them of this relic.

“Get out of this relic.” The demonic might tossed and roared upon Yu Sheng as he coldly told everyone to buzz off. These cultivators did not look pleased. However, there was no way for the Devil World and the Dark World cultivators to participate at this juncture. The Empty Divine Realm would be reluctant to break with them here, and the Buddhist sect had chosen not to intervene.

Donghuang Imperial Palace from the Divine Prefecture and the cultivators from the Heavenly Realm were not here. Obviously, this battle could not continue.

“Ye Futian, you are in cahoots with the Devil World and the Dark World. You’d better watch yourself,” Di Hao from the Human Realm said, and with that, he left. Soon after, other invading cultivators went with him and withdrew altogether.

Tongchan Buddha Lord and Shenyan Buddha Lord were particularly reluctant, especially Shenyan Buddha. Both of his eyes were blinded, but there was nothing he could do to get back at Ye Futian. They could not take the relic, and Ye Futian remained safe and sound. What he was feeling right now was not the best, to say the least.

This time, the cultivators from all sides had suffered some loss, but they didn’t gain anything. Even Vajra Divine Child was killed here.

This account could only be settled later.

That was only if Ye Futian never left. As soon as he left this relic, he would no longer have the Mahoraga’s will. Then, they would very much like to see how he planned to survive out there.

“Yu Sheng, Qing Yao.” Ye Futian descended as the will of the Mahoraga dissipated. He looked at Yu Sheng and Ye Qingyao. He thought that the timing of their reinforcement couldn’t be more perfect. If these imperial-level forces really intended to target him, he might be having a hard time holding them off. After all, the will of Mahoraga was not invincible.

“All Eight Legions have been revealed. Because they dared not move on other relics, for the time being; they can only come here.” Yu Sheng had an invisible demonic power about him that was immensely menacing. His dark eyes looked into the distance as he continued, “If there is a next time, we will slaughter them all. Whosoever dares to come will pay dearly for their indiscretion.”

“Ziwei Imperial Palace does not belong to an imperial-level power, but it alone controls the relic of Mahoraga, which is one of the Eight Legions. Naturally, it became a target. It was not surprising why they came; it was Shenyan who instigated this dispute. Now that his divine eyes have been destroyed, it was a sort of karma.” Ye Futian seemed rather casual about the whole affair. It was as if everything that had happened was within his expectation. The fact that they had controlled the relics was something that Shenyan discovered and used for his own purpose. The mess that ensued was inevitable.

“How is your cultivation going?” Ye Futian looked at Yu Sheng and Ye Qingyao and inquired. The Devil Imperial Palace had retained control over the Karura relic, as well as the inheritance of the Demonic Lord.

On the other hand, the Dark Court found the relic of the Asura tribe. The Dark Court itself was very compatible with the Asura, and the two may even be traced back to the same line of ancestry. These two should be the most ideal for one another.

“I haven’t fully comprehended it yet,” Ye Qingyao whispered, still shrouded in the cloak. After hearing the news, she had rushed over. Sure enough, they saw that Ye Futian and the others had been besieged by various major forces.

“Qingyao, you have to concentrate on cultivation when you get back and ignore everything else from the outside world,” Ye Futian looked at Ye Qingyao and said to her. He knew that Ye Qingyao was extraordinary and was valued greatly by the Lord of the Dark Court. However, if someone else inherited the will of King Ashura, it would undermine Ye Qingyao’s position in the Dark Court considerably.

“I know.” Ye Qingyao nodded, like a well-behaved little girl. Her voice was crystal clear without a bit of the coldness as when she dealt with the others.

“I have encountered some troubles, and I came to see if you could take a look,” Yu Sheng said to Ye Futian, which surprised him. Asking him to take a look? At what?

He glanced at the cultivators around Yu Sheng and saw that they were all exceptional cultivators from the Devil Imperial Palace. Yan Guiyi—the Demon Sage—was with him as well. This group of people should be the ones in agreement with Yu Sheng, so they came together.

“Will other cultivators in the Devil Imperial Palace agree to that?” Ye Futian asked.

“That’s not a problem,” Yan Guiyi responded.

“Alright then.” Ye Futian nodded and agreed. This was a good thing for him, so he had no reason to refuse it. He may have an opportunity to comprehend the power of the relic over there.

“How about we get going now?” Yan Guiyi proposed. “With the previous battle, I’m sure people from the outside will not dare to make trouble here again.”

“Very well,” Ye Futian nodded, then proceeded to have a discussion with everyone. He stationed the Little Condor outside so that if there were any movements, he would be able to rush back immediately.

“In that case, let’s go,” Yan Guiyi said, and Ye Futian nodded. Then, all the cultivators parted ways. Ye Qingyao left with the people from the Dark Court, and Ye Futian followed the cultivators from the Devil Imperial Palace, and the rest of them returned to continue cultivation.

...

In the city of Karura’s relic, Ye Futian came to the place where he left before—the shrine where the House Karura was located.

An extremely terrifying aura exuded from this shrine, shrouding the boundless space. When Ye Futian followed the cultivators from Devil Imperial Palace and approached the Demonic Lord and King Karura’s divine body, a sense of terror enveloped them. A pressure was coming toward them, making Ye Futian feel a little short of breath.

Ye Futian raised his head and looked at these two figures. His heart palpitated. The mysterious aura around them had been broken, and there were still many corpses in the area. Many cultivators from the Devil Imperial Palace were cultivating here and had reaped a lot from it.

“What do you want me to do?” Ye Futian asked. Yu Sheng and Yan Guiyi were on either side of him.

Around them, many people were moving towards Ye Futian, and all of them were cultivators from the Devil Imperial Palace. Many of them looked cold and were not so friendly. Obviously, many of them frowned upon the fact that an outsider was invited here for the sole purpose of comprehension; this was not something that they wanted to see.

However, Yu Sheng, Yan Guiyi, and many other demonic cultivators had decided, so they could only allow Ye Futian to give the thing a try.

“There!” Yan Guiyi pointed in front of him. On top of the Demonic Lord, a divine ruler fell straight from the firmament and penetrated the void between heaven and earth. It was buried deep into the body of the Demonic Lord to imprison him here. It formed an extremely overbearing power in this area that sealed off everything.

Needless to say, Ye Futian was aware of everything. As soon as he got here, there was something moving inside his body, and his spiritual soul was becoming active. He did not doubt that the aura from this divine ruler had caused the activity in his spiritual soul.

“This divine ruler has sealed off the area around the Demonic Lord. Can you remove it?” Yan Guiyi asked. “All of us have tried but to no avail. Yu Sheng recommended you come and give it a shot.”

Ye Futian understood now why Yan Guiyi was trying to find him—to remove the divine ruler and release the will of the Demonic Lord.

Although Yu Sheng recommended him, the cultivators from the Devil Imperial Palace did not think he could do it. However, they had tried and failed, so there was not much for them to do except allow him to have a shot. After all, Ye Futian was extremely well-known for his ability in comprehension, and he alone had inherited from several great emperors.

“I can try it,” Ye Futian began to speak, “but if in the process I end up being able to communicate with the will of the imperial arms and gain control of it, what should I do?”

Yu Sheng didn’t speak; his attitude was evident. But the key depended on the rest of the people in the Devil Imperial Palace.

This divine ruler was not an ordinary object, as it possessed the ability to suppress the power of the Demonic Lord, so the magnitude of its power was simply unimaginable. If it were really released by him, would the Devil Imperial Palace be willing to give up such a treasure?

“How about we make a gift of King Karura’s corpse to you?” Yan Guiyi pointed to the corpse of King Karura next to him. Although this corpse was also a treasure, it was not particularly useful to demonic cultivators. But that divine ruler, on the other hand, might be a great treasure that they still hoped to retain.

Ye Futian shook his head. “If I could communicate with the divine ruler, I am afraid that I would not be willing to part with it then. Moreover, if other cultivators of the Devil Imperial Palace intend to control the divine ruler, they may also harbor ill will towards me. The risk for me is quite high.”

Yan Guiyi glanced at the figure of the Demonic Lord in front of him and said, “If you can comprehend it, you may take it away.”

Their goal was still the Demonic Lord.

“I can believe the words of the Demon Sage, but what about the others?” Ye Futian asked. There were a lot of cultivators in the Devil Imperial Palace, and all of them had the power to pose a threat to him.

“Are Yu Sheng’s and my guarantee insufficient for you?” Yan Guiyi replied as he looked at Ye Futian. Ye Futian glanced at Yu Sheng, who was next to him and saw him nod. Obviously, Yu Sheng approved of this sentiment. As long as Yan Guiyi was in agreement, there should not be any surprise.

“Very well. In that case, I agree, but I can’t guarantee that I can do it.” Ye Futian said, “I need other people to leave. I only need Yu Sheng to stay behind so as not to disturb to my work.”

Yan Guiyi glanced at Ye Futian and thought that this guy might still hold some selfish intentions.

“Fine.” He nodded, turned around, and waved to the people around him. Suddenly the cultivators from the Devil Imperial Palace moved, leaving it to just Ye Futian and Yu Sheng.

“What do you think?” Yu Sheng looked at Ye Futian and asked. This divine ruler was something that had eluded them all. The cultivators from Devil Imperial Palace had tried it, and they had all failed.

“I will only know after trying,” Ye Futian looked at Yu Sheng and said with a smile. “However, I am hopeful.”

Whatever could entice a movement in his spiritual soul indicated that there must be some kind of connection. Therefore, the odds were in his favor!
