Chapter 2842: The Estimation of the Devil Emperor

This chapter is updated by NovelFree.ml

In Donghuang Imperial Palace, the Devil Emperor stared at Donghuang the Great, who was making his move. His eyes were deep and unfathomable. No one could tell what he was thinking.

At this time, Donghuang was still sitting opposite of him, but he was facing the position of the passage. Separated by the boundless space, the Revelation Divine Power descended regardless of distance or space. This kind of ability had far exceeded the understanding of ordinary cultivators in Haotian City.

In the land of the Divine Prefecture, countless cultivators were believers in Donghuang the Great.

However, they had never seen Donghuang the Great make a move until today. With a single thought, Donghuang the Great had made his divine power descend across the vast and boundless space. This power suppressed Ye Futian, who had defeated Haotian the Great and Yuanshi the Great. This suppression was so complete that Ye Futian could not fight back.

Only then did everyone realize how truly terrifying the master of the Divine Prefecture was.

Ye Futian’s divine power roared fiercely upon him. He raised his head to look at the sky, his body stubbornly moving upward against the momentum despite being under the suppression of the Revelation Divine Power. He seemed unyielding. He wanted to see how powerful Donghuang the Great was.

Buzz! An even more terrifying divine might pressed downward as endless divine glory sprinkled down from the firmament. Haotian Divine Domain was suppressed to the point of disappearing altogether, as Ye Futian’s body was forced to fall from the sky. His divine power was being suppressed around his body.

Ye Futian looked at Donghuang the Great across the distance only to hear Donghuang the Great say, “Until you can come to the imperial palace and stand in front of me, you may not roam and rampage in the Divine Prefecture.”

When his voice faded, countless paths came rushing down. Ye Futian grunted, and his face paled. He felt his divine body was being suppressed as his body fell from the air again. He had no way to contend with his opponent at all.

He had cultivated to the current state and created his own Micro Heavenly Path, which was enough to shake the Great Emperors. Among the two Great Emperors, Yuanshi the Great was wounded; Haotian the Great couldn’t do much to him. If he continued the fight, he felt his advantage would only grow.

But even so, he couldn’t stop the suppression from Donghuang the Great’s divine power.

Today, the six beings standing at the top of the world were more powerful than he imagined.

“Very well, I will be looking forward to that day,” Ye Futian responded and retracted his divine power. He understood that he was only in the realm of Emperor-To-Be, which accounted for the gap between them. Even if he was able to defeat some Great Emperors with the help of the micro Heavenly Path, Donghuang the Great was beyond the realm of ordinary Great Emperors.

To be able to fight against Donghuang the Great, he would probably need to wait until his Micro Heavenly Path was perfected.

Likewise, the Revelation Divine Power also retracted, and everything returned to normal. Haotian the Great and Yuanshi the Great both stared at Ye Futian. They could have never thought that when they returned to the Imperial Realm, they would be greeted not by glory but humiliation and defeat.

The suppression of Ye Futian and the strength of Donghuang the Great made their return as ancient emperors seem so small and insignificant. It was as if they were not worth mentioning.

The times had truly changed. After the collapse of the Heavenly Path, the era did not seem to be an era they could understand anymore. Now, a brand new era was coming, but they would no longer be its main players.

Ye Futian glanced at the cultivators from the Devil Imperial Palace and the Dark Court. Both parties had invited him to come here. But now that he had done what he could, the Devil Emperor did not stop Donghuang the Great from moving against him.

“Go back,” the Devil Emperor, who was next to Donghuang the Great, urged as well. The rest of the cultivators nodded as they began leaving.

Ye Futian glanced at the two figures above the sky and stepped away himself. There were still several years in, and in his world, it was decades.

After they left, the cultivators in Haotian City looked at the state of the Haotian Clan at this moment. They were dead silent.

The entire Haotian Clan had been destroyed. Previously, Ye Futian had nearly razed it to the ground with a single blow. The Ancient God Clan had lost many cultivators, and it was a tragic sight. At this moment, the Ancient God Clan was desolate.

How could those glorious Ancient God Clans in the Divine Prefecture—the top forces that once dominated the land of the Divine Prefecture—end up like this?

More importantly, this was after the return of the Great Emperors.

Shouldn’t this be their time of revival?

Everyone’s heart was heavy. It felt like they were being crushed by a giant boulder, making them feel beyond depressed.

And that boulder was none other than Ye Futian.

Donghuang the Great had the power now, yet he did not end Ye Futian. Did he intend to wait until Ye Futian was elevated into the Imperial Realm?

What would happen if Donghuang the Great was defeated at the 500-year mark? What would happen then?

That was something no one dared to contemplate.

If that were the case, the Ancient God Clan would undoubtedly be destroyed.

In Donghuang Imperial Palace, Donghuang the Great retracted his divine might as the passageway disappeared. He sat there quietly, his attention focused on the chessboard, and then he made his move.

Everything was business as usual, like nothing had happened moments ago.

The Devil Emperor held a chess piece in hand as he looked intently at Donghuang the Great. He said with a smile, “Your divine power has increased again.”

“500 years of cultivation… How can there be no progress?” Donghuang the Great raised his head and responded, “You must be the same as well. Under the Devil’s Abyss, bearing the tribulation of the Devil’s Abyss, and baptized by it. The actual level of your strength today was difficult to estimate.”

Devil’s Abyss was known as the prison of the Heavenly Path, and it was not a simple contraption.

A smile appeared in those profound eyes of the Devil Emperor as he stared intently on Donghuang the Great. He said, “Donghuang, you won’t kill Ye Futian now? Do you want to wait until he is an emperor and destroys Donghuang Imperial Palace to stand before you? Do you want to allow him a chance to do all that he wants to do? Is it because you feel guilty about Emperor Ye Qing’s death and you want to make it up to his descendants?”

“Your Majesty is overthinking,” Donghuang the Great said with a smile. “Of course, there is guilt in my heart, but it’s not what you think.”

“If I’m wrong…” The Devil Emperor’s eyes were unfathomable as he stared into the eyes of Donghuang the Great and said, “Then, that’s even more interesting.”

“You lost,” Donghuang the Great said as he made his last move on the chessboard.

The Devil Emperor looked down, then got up with a hearty laugh.

“Then, I guess I’ll take a look at this game and see who is playing and how it is played.” With that, the Devil Emperor took a single step, then disappeared from Donghuang Imperial Palace.

After he left, several people came over and bowed to salute Donghuang the Great. The person in the lead was the Princess of the Divine Prefecture—Donghuang Diyuan.

“Your Majesty, what is the purpose of this move by the Devil Emperor?” Li Daoshou, who was next to Donghuang Diyuan, asked curiously. “Moreover, it seems that it was the will of the Dark Sovereign to goad Ye Futian to come here to the Divine Prefecture, thus intensifying the grievances between the Divine Prefecture and Ye Futian, no?”

Donghuang the Great looked into the distance. Those tranquil eyes of his were so clear that it was as if he could see through everything in this world.

“Perhaps as a test,” Donghuang the Great responded. Then he looked at Donghuang Diyuan and the rest of the people and said, “The world has changed drastically with ancient emperors who have returned one after the other. The future has to be a mighty era. In the past, you were all powerful figures standing at the top, but now, you must focus on cultivating harder than ever before and strive to step onto the Path of the Emperors as soon as possible.”

“Yes, Your Majesty!” Several of them bowed to salute him again. They, too, had sensed the pressure.

Was the remark from Donghuang the Great suggesting that Donghuang Imperial Palace was facing some crisis?
