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

In the vast space, countless beams of divine light descended. The various gods of the Heaven Court stood in the sky. The strongest cultivator in the world, Ji Wudao, was in their midst.

The scene before the eyes of the crowd was extremely impactful. Ji Wudao was the strongest cultivator and the most powerful existence in the world, yet his Path of the Emperor had been severed by a finger.

Ye Futian was back!

He had previously defeated the Human Ancestor and was the Heavenly Emperor who became the Heavenly Path. Now that he had returned to fight, he was invincible.

Who controlled the rise and fall of those in power?

The Heaven Court was silent. The cultivators who had betrayed Ye Futian and followed Ji Wudao had pale expressions that were extremely ugly. Who would have imagined that Ye Futian would still be able to return and become even more powerful as well? Ji Wudao claimed that he had already consumed the Human Ancestor. With a shift of his will, he wanted to consume the Heavenly Path.

The current Ji Wudao feared nothing, not even the Human Ancestor reborn.

Yet, he could not even withstand Ye Futian pointing a finger at him.

In the Heaven Court, Ji Wudao suddenly laughed. His laugh was somewhat tragic. He looked down at Ye Futian in the city of Qingzhou below. The latter stood in the snow. He merely stood there and severed Ji Wudao’s Path of the Emperor just like that. What mockery was this?

“During the age of the Six Great Emperors, although my talent was unparalleled, I still kept a low profile and bided my time. Later on, when I became a Great Emperor myself, I wished to restructure the Heaven Realm. I wanted to make her dream come true and take revenge for her. Yet, you were still around. She chose you,” said Ji Wudao, seemingly talking to himself. He continued, “During the battle of the Heavenly Path, you became the Heavenly Path and sacrificed yourself. I respect you for that. Hence, I did not slaughter the others. I believed that the future would be my era. Even if the Human Ancestor were resurrected, I would still not be afraid of him. Even if the various gods and the Immortal Sovereign descended upon the world, I still believed that I could put up a fight and become the savior of the world.”

He concluded, “However, I was never needed by the world.”

Ji Wudao’s tone was full of self-depreciation. She had chosen Ye Futian instead of him. This world similarly did not need him.

“Since the world gave birth to you, why bother having me?” Ji Wudao said with a wry smile. “Why?”

Ji Wudao declared, “Since the world has no use for me, I do not miss it either.” He looked up at the sky and sighed. Then, he looked at Ye Futian and said, “I will die on the battlefield. I, Ji Wudao, do not need your mercy.”

As he said this, he flew down. He traversed across space and time and pounced on Ye Futian.

Ye Futian raised his head and looked at Ji Wudao. He knew that the latter had set his mind on death.

“Alright.” Ye Futian pointed his finger at the sky again. This time, its power penetrated through the body of Ji Wudao. Instantly, his body turned ethereal and dissipated.

Many people were emotional as they witnessed Ji Wudao being killed. Ji Wudao had worked hard. From being a nobody, he had become someone famous. He had been crowned the Heavenly Emperor twice. His life was legendary. However, just as he had mentioned, the world did not need him since Ye Futian was around.

If Ye Futian did not exist, perhaps Ji Wudao would have become the hero of their generation.

Unfortunately, there was no if.

The strongest cultivator in the world enjoyed his brief moment of fame and was now forever gone.

“May the Heavenly Emperor have mercy on us,” begged the cultivators of the Heaven Realm as they bowed to Ye Futian. Great Skylords Black and White Almighty got down on one knee as they pleaded for forgiveness. With a shift of his thought, Ye Futian could eradicate all of them.

Even Ji Wudao was killed. The rest of them stood no chance against Ye Futian.

“All of you followed Ji Wudao’s command. After I disappeared, it was understandable for you to obey him. However, the Heaven Realm declared war on various Realms. Your hands are tainted with the blood of the cultivators from various Realms. Those people that you killed were once my followers.” Ye Futian looked at the cultivators of the Heaven Realm and announced his verdict, saying, “Moreover, many of you managed to prove your Path because of my guidance. Therefore, I will sever your Path. You will be ordinary folk from now on.”

As he said this, beams of light charged down from the sky and befell the cultivators of the Heaven Court. As punishment for their sins, they were stripped of their Paths.

Their faces turned as pale as sheets.

“I do not regret my decision,” said Pagoda King, one of the Four Heavenly Kings, as he looked at Ye Futian. “In the past, if I chose not to pledge my allegiance to Ji Wudao, I would still be killed by him. Why didn’t we get a chance to choose to live?”

Ye Futian cast an indifferent glance at him. Then, he closed his eyes and shifted his will. One by one, figures appeared in the Heaven Court. Among them were the String Emperor and Book Deity. The cultivators of the Heaven Realm, who Ji Wudao had killed, were present too. Even those cultivators, marked by Ye Futian but sacrificed in battle, came back to life.

“Heavenly Emperor,” they also greeted Ye Futian while bowing. Their joy and astonishment were ineffable. The String Emperor and Book Deity beamed as they thought, Young Master has finally reached the pinnacle of cultivation.

Ye Futian had surpassed the Human Ancestor in terms of abilities. He could revive whoever he wanted, regardless of whether his target was a Great Emperor.

“Of course, you are free to choose your side, but you also need to be ready to face the consequences of your choice,” Ye Futian said. The faces of Pagoda King and the others turned ashen. They regretted their choice.

The deceased cultivators had actually come back to life.

Ye Futian said, “During the Battle of the Heavenly Path, I encouraged everyone to go all-out in battle, with the determination of saving the world and delivering the future generations from calamity. I promised that if we won the battle, you will be in charge of maintaining the order of the world. Now, I will fulfill my promise and grant all of you the Path of the Emperors.”

After he said this, divine light poured down from above and circled the cultivators. They were bestowed with the Fate of the Emperor.

This… The crowd was shocked when they witnessed this scene. Auspicious signs filled the sky as divine light rained down. The cultivators were bathed in the divine light as they closed their eyes and meditated. Ye Futian had bestowed them with the Path of the Emperors.

These cultivators all took part in the war. Now, Ye Futian carried out his promise and crowned them Tianshens.

The cultivators who chose to leave the Heaven Court all felt their hearts ache as they witnessed this scene. They were very regretful of their past decision. After they left the Heaven Court, they experienced a tribulation. Many of them even perished under it.

Those people would never have a chance of revival.

All of this was because of a choice they made.

Ye Futian gazed towards the City of the Ruins. A terrifying aura appeared amid the invaders from the Empyrean. The will of the Immortal Sovereign of Empyrean had descended.

“Since you have proven your Path to this stage, this world should be yours,” the voice called out, reverberating throughout the space.

“Did you think you could just come and go as you please?” said Ye Futian as he glanced at the other party. With a shift of his will, countless divine lights descended from the heavens above. They immediately enveloped the City of the Ruins and trapped the invaders within it.

He was the Heavenly Path.

“Many years ago, I decreed that all invaders would be killed without mercy,” said Ye Futian as he swept a glance over at those people. When they sensed his God’s might, everyone revealed terrified expressions. Even existences on the level of the Immortal Kings felt the threat of death.

The current Ye Futian was invincible. This world belonged to him completely.

“Die!” commanded Ye Futian. In an instant, the Great Tribulations of Apocalypse descended from the Heavenly Path and crushed the invaders.

Swoosh. Swoosh. Swoosh. The Great Tribulations of Apocalypse plummeted, and many figures were crushed into dust. They perished instantly without a chance to defend themselves. Even the Immortal Kings only managed to struggle briefly before being killed on the spot.

“Presumptuous!” chided the Immortal Sovereign of Empyrean.

His voice reverberated in the heavens and the earth. He glared at Ye Futian.

Ye Futian killed all the invaders, who were the subordinates of the Immortal Sovereign.

“Am I being presumptuous?” Ye Futian shifted his will, and immediately, the space where the other party was crumbled. The gigantic face was crushed. Ye Futian appeared directly in the City of the Ruins. The Immortal Sovereign wore an ugly expression. He had not anticipated encountering such a powerful opponent during his invasion this time around.

The greatest danger about invading another world was that the locals had absolute control over their world. The laws in the world obeyed the rules set by the locals. Therefore, the Immortal Sovereign had sent some cultivators here to scout the place first.

To his surprise, he encountered Ye Futian.

“We will meet again,” the Immortal Sovereign of Empyrean said coldly. Amidst the crumbled space, a thread of consciousness escaped. It followed the direction of the altar as it broke free from here. It charged towards its own universe.

Ye Futian stood there and glanced over towards that universe. His will shifted, and it immediately traversed the vast space and locked on to a location.

“Huh?” responded the Immortal Sovereign as he opened his eyes in a palace in the Empyrean. He glanced over towards the world where Ye Futian was in. He had actually been pursued by the latter.

In the City of the Ruins, Ye Futian gathered the Divine Power of the World. A spear materialized in his hand. He threw it into the passageway that connected the city and that universe. It was used by the other party when they landed in the city.

On the other end of the passageway was the Empyrean. A shockingly loud sound could be heard. The universe shook vigorously for a moment. Then, space and time were shattered as the universe collapsed. A black hole popped up and consumed everything.

“Time and space, annihilate,” ordered Ye Futian.

Right then, the Empyrean trembled.

Ye Futian retracted his gaze. Everything in the City of the Ruins returned to normal. The passageway closed, and Ye Futian’s figure returned to the Qingzhou Academy.

However, the crowd’s amazement did not cease for a long while after they witnessed the spear that transcended time and space.

Was this the ultimate realm of cultivation?

Even the Immortal Sovereign of Empyrean was defeated with a single spear strike!
