Chapter 2700: Remarkable Characters

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

The aura of destruction had yet to dissipate from around Black Almighty, and the Black Storm still enveloped the sky. The Will of Destruction circled, and the Almighty Divine Swords danced around. Every shard of air felt like a Black Sword of Destruction, and probably even those who had gone through the Divine Tribulation of the Great Path would turn into ashes if struck by the sword.

For a demigod like Black Almighty, the Way they wielded was an independent power within the Great Way and belonged to them only.

Yet Di Hao seemed to not be in the least daunted. Divine light encircled his person, and he headed toward the clouds. He landed on the upper skies and stood facing Black Almighty. Feeling the terrifying aura, he used his will, and immediately an immensely dazzling scene appeared around him. It was a small world, and it was shining brightly.

Numerous divine lights were striking the clouds above his head, and right there, multicolored rays of sunlight descended, giving rise to a vivid, strange vision. In that strange vision was a gigantic figure of a god. This god, however, had a humanlike aura, as if he came from the human world.

“The Divine Human!”

The multitude felt their hearts racing upon seeing this scene. The strange vision was the Divine Human. The most remarkable ability to be mastered in the Human Realm was summoning the Divine Human.

Di Hao’s hands formed a seal, and divine lights from the Great Way surrounded him. His aura was not in any way inferior to the Great Skylord Black Almighty, proving his prowess. After all, he was the first disciple of the Human Realm, along with the ancestor, who was a symbol of the Human Realm. One would imagine that he would be very powerful.

Judging by this strange vision alone, his prowess should be greater than that of Fang Ru.

The Great Skylord Black Almighty looked at Di Hao and sensed a threat from him. It was possible that Di Hao might be as strong as him.

The terrifying Black Storm desired to engulf the sky dome and headed for the region above Di Hao, only to see the divine light around him glowing at its brightest. The strange vision covered the entire region above him, and the two different colored beams of divine light intersected and clashed above the sky dome as if drawing a clear and distinct battle line down the middle.

Great Skylord Black Almighty stretched a finger outward, and at once, Black Almighty Divine Sword moved into action and flooded the Void, heading toward Di Hao.

Di Hao’s pupils sparkled, and he formed another divine seal with his hands. Immediately, a brilliant divine light burst out from within the Divine Human, and a gap opened from above the skies. From above the sky came falling countless divine swords as if they were the Sword of Mankind created at the command of the Divine Human.

The countless divine swords and Black Almighty Divine Sword collided, and two destructive storms converged within the Void. In contrast to when Fang Ru was battling Black Almighty, this time around, Di Hao’s Sword of Mankind did not suffer even the slightest bit. Both parties seemed to be evenly matched in strength.

From the lower sky region, the onlookers could only see two swords of different colors clashing furiously with each other, forming a river of swords of destruction.

Great Skylord Black Almighty waved his hands, and countless Almighty Divine Swords immediately came together as a petrifying storm. They then fused into a gargantuan Black Divine Sword. He pointed toward Di Hao, and the gargantuan black sword came down from the sky dome, cut across the river of swords, and headed straight toward Di Hao. It turned everything it touched to ash.

Di Hao’s physical body merged as one with the Divine Human. It was as if he had become a god. A divine light shone on the Divine Human’s body. Heaven and earth were one, and Di Hao was the Way itself, able to control the Way of Mankind. He put his palms face-up and, with a push, blasted out Seal of Mankind. It was humongous and clashed against the Black Divine Sword.

The numerous runes on the divine Seal started glowing. The murderous aura emanating from the Black Divine Sword of Destruction was bent on destroying everything and kept breaking the Divine Seal, but its powers were weakening as well.

Bang! The Divine Seal dissolved into nothingness with a loud crash, but so did the Black Sword.

“Di Hao has become so strong,” Supreme Swordlord uttered in amazement. He would not battle efficiently against either of these two men. He, the Supreme Swordlord, would possibly lose.

Ye Futian had also been observing the ongoing fight. Not many attacks had been carried out within the battle, but one attack alone contained enough power to destroy heaven and earth. It was beyond terrifying.

“What technique is that?” Ye Futian asked Supreme Swordlord while looking toward Di Hao. The figure of the Divine Human was astounding.

“The Divine Human,” answered Supreme Swordlord. “It is an unparalleled superpower created by the ancestor. Only the strongest cultivators can master it, and they will become one with the Great Path of Mankind, turning into a human god. It’s as if the divine itself was summoned, and every attack from then on will be imbued with the power of the divine. The cultivators in the Human Realm termed it the Way of Mankind, which implies its status as the strongest superpower among humanity.”

Ye Futian nodded in understanding. “Is the Great Skylord White Almighty even more powerful than Black Almighty?”

Of the two, the Great Skylord Black Almighty came out first to battle, instead of the Great Skylord White Almighty, who had not made an appearance yet. This somehow led Ye Futian to feel that White Almighty might be stronger than the Great Skylord Black Almighty.

“Yes.” Supreme Swordlord nodded in agreement. “Legend has it that both these persons had been to the Boundless Sea located at the ends of the world before. There, they cultivated the Way of the Almighty. Great Skylord White Almighty cultivated the ‘Creation’ pathway from the Way of the Almighty, while Great Skylord Black Almighty cultivated the ‘Destruction’ pathway. Although ‘Creation’ is not stronger than ‘Destruction,’ Great Skylord White Almighty’s prowess, nevertheless, is above that of Great Skylord Black Almighty.”

Ye Futian nodded slightly after hearing what Supreme Swordlord said. Only the strongest like them could influence how the battle turned out now.

Not even those who had passed through tribulations could. After all, it had reached the stage where those ranked at emperor-level were fighting each other directly.

“But that person standing behind Donghuang Diyuan is compelling as well, very more so than Fang Ru,” Supreme Swordlord started to explain. “He was conferred the title of ‘Number One,’ to the extent that people say that after Donghuang the Great, he is the best.” He looked to the back of Donghuang Diyuan, where a cultivator was standing.

Ye Futian followed suit and discovered that the cultivator was an elderly man. He was watching the battle quietly and wore a calm expression. It seemed as if he was not significantly bothered by what was happening in front of him.

It was the first time Ye Futian had met him. He was likely one of those final boss characters in Donghuang Imperial Palace.

Would he take part in the battle?

If that were the case, then over at the Heaven Realm, White Almighty would have to join in too. He could not help wondering how a battle on that level would be like.

However, before Ye Futian had a chance to see him in battle, someone surprising stepped out from Donghuang Imperial Palace’s side.

It was none other than Donghuang Diyuan herself.

It was not only Ye Futian, but all who were present were shocked by Donghuang Diyuan. Did she intend to go into battle herself?

Not many had seen the only daughter of Donghuang the Great in battle before. Only once in the Devil World, Ye Futian had gone up against her in battle.

Perhaps they will be able to see her in battle today.

After Donghuang Diyuan stepped out, she looked upon someone on the sky stairwell. That person was Ji Wudao—the sole heir of the Heaven Realm.

Everyone understood that if Donghuang Diyuan were to go out to battle, her opponent would be Ji Wudao and only Ji Wudao. Both of them were heirs, one of the Divine Prefecture and the other of the Heaven Realm. Both were of noble statuses and were remarkable characters.

Even though they might not be as strong as the Great Skylord Black Almighty and Di Hao, their battle seemed to have been anticipated. Was not a battle of heirs of their caliber more enticing than that of the Great Skylord Black Almighty and Di Hao?

Ye Futian was also quite surprised. He never thought that Donghuang Diyuan would participate in the battle.

He had fought with Donghuang DIyuan before at the Devil Imperial Palace in Devil World. They both tied then, and Donghuang Diyuan was not inferior to him.

He had also fought Ji Wudao before. Ji Wudao was a mystery and hard to read. They had only fought one round, and the other party had brought out Heaven Punishing Divine Sword. It was hard to tell his depth of skill.

Many years had passed since then, and the cultivators had all inherited Relics from the tombs of the gods. They would have gotten much stronger, just as Ye Futian had. While he had mastered the Divine Ruler, both Donghuang Diyuan and Ji Wudao had control of a Relic each and would have gotten great gains from there.

Moreover, the Relic that Ji Wudao had control over was the Old Heaven Court, ranked first among the Eight Legions. Who knows what he had gained from there?

A battle now would reveal their current prowess.

Ye Futian found himself anticipating this battle. From the first day he stepped into the world of cultivation, he had made his way up bit by bit, and the opponents he faced now were all top-notch, remarkable characters. At present, Donghuang Diyuan, Ji Wudao, Di Hao, and the likes would probably be his strongest opponents on the cultivation journey. If he managed to surpass them, he would be on his way to becoming one of the Great Emperors.

These people were like him, as they all had the hope of making it to the Imperial Realm. With the heirs from each realm, the most outstanding cultivators, and the appearance of the divine Relics, how many would be able to conquer the Way and reign supreme?

They just had to wait and see!
