Chapter 2608: Death of Emperor Ye Qing

Ye Futian raised his head, looking at the Devil Emperor in astonishment. He asked, “No. Will Your Majesty tell me?”

He had always wanted to know who he really was.

The Devil Emperor looked at Ye Futian with those deep eyes of his, and he whispered, “It is said that the ignorant have no fear.”

“I heard that he asked Yu Sheng to follow you, addressing you as the young master and he as your manservant. I am a little curious about your true identity.” The Devil Emperor assessed Ye Futian. This was the reason why he had gone to the Demon Tower previously to see Ye Futian for himself. He wanted to know just what kind of person Ye Futian was, and if he was worthy of his assistance.

What exactly was his relationship with Emperor Ye Qing?

Was he really a descendant of Emperor Ye Qing?!

Could this be true?

Except for Ye Futian and Yu Sheng, the Devil Emperor was probably the one other person who knew the most about the situation. He knew his younger brother better than anyone. He knew how Ye Futian and Yu Sheng had been raised and educated. These were things that no one else knew just yet.

The doubts inside Ye Futian’s heart grew. Even the Devil Emperor had no idea of his origin?

Who was he?

“Do you know why Emperor Ye Qing died?” The Devil Emperor continued to press him. His eyes never left Ye Futian.

“All I know was that the two emperors fought, and Emperor Ye Qing perished because of Donghuang the Great,” Ye Futian responded.

“You don’t know anything, yet you are in such a rush to come to the Devil World to die?” As the Devil Emperor’s voice fell, a monstrous demonic might pressed down on Ye Futian. He let out a muffled groan, and his legs trembled. There were goosebumps all over his body. He found it difficult for him to remain standing.

The Great Path roared in his body as he was surrounded by divine light, resisting this terrifying sense of oppression. In the sky above him, there was an extreme degree of demonic might that was beyond his ability to endure.

Was there something else behind Emperor Ye Qing’s death?

Why would the Devil Emperor say that he didn’t know anything and that he was coming to the Devil World simply to die?!

“Like him, the only things your two have are courage and stupidity,” the Devil Emperor continued, and the terrifying demonic might continue to suppress Ye Futian. He took a step forward, and Ye Futian could feel his body trembling more severely. It was as if he was about to burst. He could feel a trace of murderous intent from the Devil Emperor.

At this time, the Devil Emperor raised his brows slightly. Although he was in front of the Demon God Palace, he saw the dark figure on the Demon Slaying Platform under the Devil Abyss. That dark figure was on his knees, facing him as if bowing his head in repentance.

Boom! There was a raging flame burning on the Devil Emperor. At this moment, the demonic clouds above his head were tossing and roaring, and even the Devil Abyss above the firmament was howling. A coercion of destruction sheltered the entire Devil Imperial Palace.

At this moment, the many cultivators inside the Devil Imperial Palace lowered their heads. They had all felt the Devil Emperor’s rage, and none of them dared to breathe too hard.

Who was it that angered the Devil Emperor to this degree?

“You betrayed the Devil World without a second thought. And now, for one man, you are willing to bend your knees and beg!” A cold angry voice washed over the Demon Slaying Platform, resounding in Yu Sheng’s ears. However, Yu Sheng continued kneeling, his hair scattered upon his shoulders. He did not speak, merely enduring the anger of the Devil Emperor and that terrifying demonic might.

In front of the Demon God Palace, Ye Futian also heard the angry voice of the Devil Emperor. His face suddenly turned pale. He bowed to the Devil Emperor and said, “Your Majesty please be merciful.”

“You can’t even protect yourself! What right do you have to intercede on his behalf?” The Devil Emperor merely glanced at Ye Futian with a terrifying might. He took another step forward again, and Ye Futian’s legs could hardly hold him up, but he pleaded, “Your Majesty asked Yu Sheng to attack the Original Realm, but I voluntarily surrendered the control of the Original Realm. Why does your Majesty still insist?”

“What if I want to destroy the Original Realm? Are you then still willing to hand it over?!” the Devil said coldly, and Ye Futian’s face suddenly paled. He was caught by this unexpected rebuke.

“If the Original Realm is under the control of Your Majesty, they are the people of the Devil World, so why would Your Majesty want to destroy it?” Ye Futian couldn’t help but ask. He was puzzled.

“Only the people of the Devil World are my people. What does the death of beings from other worlds have anything to do with me? Why do I need them to be my people?” the Devil Emperor questioned Ye Futian relentlessly. Ye Futian was speechless. Indeed, he had nothing for a comeback.

The Devil Emperor was the commander of the Devil World; he was the god of the Devil World, but did he really need more people? Just as he said, what did he need more people for?

If there was no need, then why should he be responsible for people from the outside worlds?

He was the god of the Devil World, and he only ever cared about all those who resided in the Devil World and their well-being.

“You don’t understand anything!” The Devil Emperor stared at Ye Futian. “How he failed to educate these two idiots!”

“Your Majesty the Devil Emperor carries the Devil Abyss on behalf of every living being in the Devil World and suffered the demonic tribulations from the heavens. I don’t believe Your Majesty is a merciless killer who will slaughter all beings and let them burn.” Ye Futian was quiet for a moment before he spoke again to the Devil Emperor.

The Devil Emperor looked at Ye Futian in the eyes as he mocked, “This line of thought is very similar to his. You are both idealists.”

After that, he turned away and looked into the distance. He said, “That’s enough of you!”

He looked cold and seemed to be enraged at this moment. As the god of the Devil World, there was not be many who could make him angry.

However, Yu Sheng could affect his emotions and pushed his buttons. This was a testament of the importance that the Devil Emperor had attached to Yu Sheng from the depth of his heart, and it was different from how he treated everyone else.

“Very well. Since you are begging because of him, let him keep you company,” the Devil Emperor said indifferently. Then, he turned his head and glanced at Ye Futian, saying, “Take him to the Demon Slaying Platform.”

“Yes, Master.” The Earth Demon Sage bowed to acknowledge the order. The Devil Emperor then turned to walk towards the Demon God Palace. “You came to the Devil World for the express purpose of saving him. If so, on account of your brotherhood, I will let you go to the Demon Slaying Platform together. If you are still alive after 49 days, I will allow you to live.”

As the voice faded, the door to the Demon God Palace closed, and the figure disappeared from Ye Futian’s view. His eyes had a changing expression as he bowed in the direction of the Demon God Palace and said, “Thank you, Your Majesty.”

The Earth Demon Sage walked to Ye Futian, his eyes were indifferent. He looked at him and said, “Thank him? Save yourself first!”

As he spoke, he turned around and ordered, “Come with me.”

Ye Futian followed behind the Earth Demon Sage. They walked away from this area, and head towards the rear of the Demon God Palace. In that vast area, the demonic clouds rolled and roared, and a destructive demonic might was brewing.

The demonic clouds here were extremely terrifying.

They continued forward. In the place surrounded by the demonic cloud, there was a platform hanging high in the sky, surrounded by stone pillars that reached deep into the firmament. Looking up along those stone pillars, a hole could be seen that was in the sky, where the heaven was torn apart. In there, an incomparable destructive power was brewing. It was as if an apocalyptic tribulation was hidden within it. That flowing destructive power descended along the stone pillars and fell upon the Demon Slaying Platform.

That was a corner of the Devil Abyss. This destructive force was pouring out of the Devil Abyss.

On the Demon Slaying Platform, there was a black shadow being imprisoned on the stone pillar. Like a madman, his long hair was unkempt. As he raised his head at this moment and looked at Ye Futian, he asked, “Why are you here?!”

This was the Devil World. Ye Futian didn’t understand the Devil World. He had more chance of dying than living by coming here.

But Ye Futian merely smiled and said, “You are suffering. How can I not be here?”

Yu Sheng clenched his fists tightly and made a crunching sound. The Earth Demon Sage said, “Get up there.”

Ye Futian glanced in the front, and he could clearly feel the destructive power on the Demon Slaying Platform. But he continued walking forward without hesitation.

“I know I was wrong. I am willing to lead the troops to the Original Realm!” Yu Sheng raised his head and looked in the distance, roaring at the void. He knew that the Devil Emperor could hear him.

Only he knew just how dangerous the Demon Slaying Platform was. If Ye Futian got on the Demon Slaying Platform, only death awaited him.

There was no response.

Yu Sheng’s eyes were fiery red, burning with anger.

“If you know of today, you wouldn’t bother to disobey the Master in the first place. Yu Sheng, you know very well how the Master treated you, and you are such a disappointment,” the Earth Demon Sage said in an indifferent voice. Yu Sheng bowed his head as if he couldn’t muster the energy to retort.

Ye Futian walked towards the Demon Slaying Platform. In an instant, the demonic clouds under his feet wrapped his body up and spread to his body. The light of tribulation turned into terrible chains and imprisoned Ye Futian’s hands and legs. Like Yu Sheng, he was also imprisoned on the Demon Slaying Platform.

A frightening power engulfed Ye Futian’s body in an instant, sending a shudder through his body. He didn’t use this destructive power for the time being, but he could feel that the trembling in his soul.

In an instant, the Great Path in his body roared and the divine light was shining. He turned into a divine body, blocking that invading destructive power. Even so, he was suffering an extreme discomfort, and this was just when he first stepped onto the Demon Slaying Platform. The real horror of it was unimaginable.

“This is the power of the Devil Abyss,” Yu Sheng said to Ye Futian. “There are endless demonic tribulations contained within it. The power of the Devil Abyss is sufficient to destroy the entire Devil World.”

“It doesn’t matter. We have been through a lot over the years, and this Devil Abyss cannot possible deter you and me.” Ye Futian laughed loudly. He appeared not to have a care in the world. Although he was under great duress, he still maintained an extremely resilient will.

“Mmm!” Yu Sheng nodded his head emphatically. As matters had evolved to this stage, there was no choice but to defeat the Devil Abyss.

“Why is the Devil Emperor acting like this?” Ye Futian asked Yu Sheng. He didn’t understand how the whole thing went south so quickly. He knew it was a risk coming to the Devil Imperial Palace, and he had already planned for the worst-case scenario. However, he was here to make an alliance with the Devil World, and he was willing to hand over the control of the Original Realm. He thought that there was a great chance for success.

But the Devil Emperor didn’t bother to pay attention to him at all. He even wanted to kill him.

“The Devil World was a prison in ancient times. All living beings in the Devil World always endured the harshest environment because of the Devil Abyss. He has always wanted to break out of this prison.” Yu Sheng said, “The death of Emperor Ye Qing was not just because of Donghuang the Great. The two emperors of Divine Prefecture wanted to stand side by side, but the other worlds disagreed. It was the same with the Devil World. There could only be one emperor between the two of them!”

Ye Futian was shocked to the core. No wonder the Devil Emperor said that he didn’t understand anything.

Then, this meant that Donghuang the Great had no choice but to go against Emperor Ye Qing. The rulers of the other worlds, in truth, were the indirect murderers!
