The Legend of Futian

In the Heavenly Mandate Realm, everything was as usual. Nothing was out of the ordinary.

In the vast Heavenly Mandate Realm, there were countless cultivators. Everyone was busy with their own matters, working hard in their training. Battles, pillaging, and massacres were happening all the time.

In Brahma’s Pure Sky, high above the clouds.

In a palace where clouds and mist lingered, a stunning figure quietly sat. Her jet-black hair danced in the wind behind her. In her mind, there were countless images flashing past. The images seemed to be situations that were really playing out in various parts of the 3,000 Realms of the Great Path.

The images included small clans, ruins, and powerful forces. The countless images were like memory fragments. They formed a complete picture within her mind.

Suddenly, a silhouette directly appeared in her mind. It seemed to occupy her mind. It also became more real and clearer. The aura on her body fluctuated and released a chilly will. Her dazzling eyes opened.

At that moment, the surrounding mist and clouds churned endlessly.

“Your Highness?” Down below, a goddess looked up at the sky above when she sensed this aura fluctuation.

“I’m alright,” Brahma’s Pure Sky Empress said calmly. Her voice contained a somewhat cold and indifferent tone. She stood up. Her stunning figure was like that of a model in a painting, transcending the mundane world around her.

She looked into the distance. Why was she feeling uneasy? She felt as though something big was going to happen.

Her perception was very sharp. The images that flashed in her mind was not something she made up.

“Has something happened in the outside world recently?” Brahma’s Pure Sky Empress asked as she stared at one of her underlings.

“Aside from the conflict between the Heavenly Mandate Dynasty and the Purple Gold Rat Clan, there is not much happening,” a goddess replied. Brahma’s Pure Sky Empress went silent for a moment, then she said, “Monitor what’s happening in the outside world. If anything arises, report it to me immediately.”

“Yes, Your Highness.” Someone received the order while bowing, then left the palace.

At the same time, at the majestic Violet Heavenly Palace.

Many cultivators appeared at a corner outside of the Violet Heavenly Palace. They were on guard against all possible dangers. A few silhouettes moved towards them. The visitors did not release any aura, appearing exceptionally friendly. However, the cultivators of the Violet Heavenly Palace, who knew the identity of the visitors knew that they should not let their guards down now.

Even the Palace Lord of the Violet Heavenly Palace walked out from the palace and stared at the three visitors who were approaching them.

Naturally, the Palace Lord knew the leader of the incoming group. He was very familiar with him. Similar to the Palace Lord, the leader was one of the top figures in the Heavenly Mandate Realm—the Lord of 10,000 Divine Mountain.

Swiftly, the three figures arrived before the cultivators of the Violet Heavenly Palace. The Palace Lord of the Violet Heavenly Palace asked, “What brought you here?”

“I have been meditating on the mountain and have lost touch with the outside world. I am here to get some fresh air while visiting my old friend,” Lord of 10,000 Divine Mountain said with a smile. “Since I am passing by the Violet Heavenly Palace, I thought of meeting up with the Palace Lord, whom I have not seen in a long time.”

Palace Lord of the Violet Heavenly Palace naturally would not believe whatever Lord of 10,000 Divine Mountain had just said. Would the other party really come to visit him if he did not have anything in mind?

“What matters do you have with me? Stop beating around the bush,” the Palace Lord of the Violet Heavenly Palace said directly.

“Nothing. I am just thinking of having a chess match with the Palace Lord at the Absolute Territory of Heavenly Thunder. What do you think?” Lord of 10,000 Divine Mountain replied. The Absolute Territory of Heavenly Thunder was a secret realm in the Violet Heavenly Palace. It contained Jiutian Divine Thunder. Only the core disciples of the Violet Heavenly Palace could access the place and cultivate in it.

Besides that, the terrifying Way of Thunder was stored in the Absolute Territory of Heavenly Thunder. Hence, outsiders were forbidden from entering it.

Lord of 10,000 Divine Mountain wanted to enter the place. Could it be that he wanted to make use of the place for cultivating?

“We are old friends. Palace Lord, you won’t be so stingy with me, right?” Lord of 10,000 Divine Mountain provoked with a smile.

“Since you are so interested in it, then you are welcome to come in.” The Palace Lord of Violet Heavenly Palace actually did not reject his request and agreed to this suggestion right away.

“After you,” the Lord of 10,000 Divine Mountain said with a smile. Then, both groups moved into the heavenly palace. In it, endless thunders volleyed in the sky, as though it was a world of thunders.

The Absolute Territory of Heavenly Thunder was in the palace.

…

In the Heavenly Mandate Dynasty, in front of the main palace, another person had come to make a report.

“What’s the matter?” A voice came from the main palace.

“Your Highness, there is some movement in the Demon Realm,” the subordinate reported.

After he said this, the Dynastic Overlord of the Heavenly Mandate Dynasty stepped forward. In an instant, he had arrived before the sky stairwell. He looked down at the member below and asked, “What movements are there?”

“Recently, in the Demon Realm, there have been faint sightings of cultivators leaving the Sky Demon Court, Dragon Gods as well as Divine Elephants,” the subordinate reported.

“How many cultivators are there, and where are they headed?” the Dynastic Overlord of Heavenly Mandate Dynasty inquired.

“We are not very sure. Our men could only notice that there was movement, but they could not determine any more information,” the other party replied. Their men did not dare to approach near the territory of the Demon Realm to spy. They could only obtain very obscure information.

As for where those cultivators had gone, the spies were even less certain as it was impossible for them to track them.

“That means that their numbers are few?” the Dynastic Overlord of the Heavenly Mandate Dynasty asked.

“It should not be too many,” the other party replied.

“Continue to monitor the situation,” the Dynastic Overlord of the Heavenly Mandate Dynasty said.

“Yes, Your Highness,” the other side responded. He then left.

The Dynastic Overlord of the Heavenly Mandate Dynasty frowned slightly. What were these forces from the Demon Realm planning to do?

“Father.”

At this moment, a silhouette walked up from behind the Dynastic Overlord of the Heavenly Mandate Dynasty. It was the Crown Prince of the Heavenly Mandate Dynasty, Yi Tianyu.

Not long ago, he had finally reached the Renhuang Plane. In reality, he had been close to the Renhuang Plane for a very long time. Back then, when he was training in the Divine Palace, he was already infinitesimally approaching the Renhuang Plane.

His original intention was to enter the God’s relic and, when he encountered a fateful encounter, break through the shackles of the Plane and prove his Great Path.

However, in the God’s relic, he had encountered Ye Futian. One spear thrust from Ye Futian had immediately severed all these thoughts of his. His state of mind had received an extremely heavy blow. After emerging from the God’s relic, for a very long time, he had been unable to readjust back to his old self.

Not long ago, he had finally proven his Great Path, a whole year later than he had initially expected.

It was also naturally impossible for him to forge a flawless Divine Wheel. He only managed to forge a Celestial Level one.

Currently, Yi Tianyu’s temperament had become even more extraordinary. After reaching the Renhuang Plane, he no longer had his previous arrogance. He had become more restrained. However, his temperament had become even more outstanding.

“Why have you come over? Has your Plane become stable?” the Dynastic Overlord of the Heavenly Mandate Dynasty asked.

“Hmm.” Yi Tianyu nodded and asked, “Has he left Tianshen Academy?”

The Dynastic Overlord of the Heavenly Mandate Dynasty naturally knew who Yi Tianyu meant. He nodded his head slightly and said, “Although you were slower than Ye Futian in reaching the Renhuang Plane, the Renhuang Plane is just a beginning. It is not impossible for you to catch up with him in the future.”

“Father, you do not need to console me. In the future, I will only focus on surpassing my own limits,” Yi Tianyu said. His state of mind was different from before. Prior to this, he had always been in the shadow of Ye Futian.

However, now, Yi Tianyu had walked out from that shadow. On his cultivation journey, he would no longer desire to compare with anyone else. Instead, he would focus on his own Way and keep on advancing.

As for Ye Futian, Yi Tianyu could only acknowledge that if Ye Futian did not die, he would certainly advance even further than himself.

“It is best that you can look past all this,” the Dynastic Overlord of the Heavenly Mandate Dynasty nodded his head slightly and said. “After Ye Futian has fallen, you should go out and travel around.”

Yi Tianyu did not say anymore. He knew that his father had always kept an eye on the movements of Ye Futian and would certainly want to kill him.

Right now, Ye Futian’s existence was already a threat to the Heavenly Mandate Dynasty. They definitely could not just sit back and wait for him to develop further. They were well aware of this point.

…

In the Demon Realm, within the territory of Dragon Gods, many dragons circled above. The roars of dragons reverberated in the sky.

Ye Futian was there too. He sat on a gigantic, divine dragon, inspecting the dragons which were roaming in the sky. His gaze was piercing as he looked into the distance.

Dragon Master had left. Next, the rest of them would move towards the Heavenly Mandate Dynasty at the same time, with the goal of eradicating the latter in one swoop.

“Let’s go,” Ye Futian ordered. As soon as he spoke, the roars of dragons thundered in the heavens and the earth. Even those who were outside of the territory of Dragon Gods could hear the shocking roars of dragons.

Countless powerful demons raised their heads and stared in the direction where Dragon Gods were. In the sky, many gigantic dragons traversed through the space, covering the sun and moving towards the far distance.

“This…” When a demonic beast saw this scene, it trembled in fear as it fought the urge to prostrate. After the dragons left, the demonic beast ran as fast as it could. It was going to spread the news.

Where were the Dragon Gods going?

On top of Dragon Gods, the cultivators of the Sky Demon Court and Divine Elephants also started their journey. Their movement stirred up a commotion. They were moving in the direction opposite of the Demon Realm, where the human cultivators resided.

This alarming news spread like wildfire. Like an earthquake, the entire Demon Realm was shocked by it.

Top figures of the Demon Realm were charging towards the territory where human cultivators resided. Was a war between demons clans and humans about to erupt?

However, there were no signs of war prior to this. Why did the demon clans suddenly start a war?

Could it be that the Demon Realm wanted to conquer the Heavenly Mandate Realm?

The humans had been at peace with the Demon Realm for decades. It had been a long time since a war erupted. Now, was the peace about to be destroyed?

It did not occur to the cultivators of the Demon Realm that the three top demon clans were not planning to conquer the Heavenly Mandate Realm. Instead, they were joining forces to attack one specific force.

Everywhere the three demon clans passed, chaos arose.

The armies led by Upper-level Renhuangs advanced at an incredible speed. They left the Demon Realm, crossed the border marker, and appeared in the territory where human cultivators were.

When the human cultivators saw the armies of the Demon Realm led by Demon Emperors, their hearts quivered in fear.

What was happening?

The area ruled by the Heavenly Mandate Dynasty was still as calm as still water. However, the three demon clans were approaching!
