The Legend of Futian

In the Original Realm, a thorough cleanup operation had begun.

With the Heavenly Mandate Academy as the center, its allies began to take over major forces within the Nine Realms. They disrupted these top forces by completely splitting them apart. They controlled their young progenies by sending them to Tianshen Academy for cultivation.

As for Jian Ao and the others, they were also split apart by Ye Futian, being relocated to different places. For example, Jian Ao would be neutralized among the cultivators of Ziwei Imperial Palace. In this manner, even if he had truly domineering power in the Original Realm, he couldn’t make any waves without Renhuang Chen destroying and crushing him easily. If he were anything but obedient, he would pay for it with his life.

Other top cultivators were in the same predicament and were under control. They had made several moves against Ye Futian in the past, so it was impossible to allow them absolute freedom. It was already a favor to them to allow them to surrender their powers and submit themselves under his control.

The space teleportation grand matrix had begun to be built one after the other. The land of the Nine Realms formed a pattern with the Heavenly Mandate Academy at the center and radiated outward. As soon as movement was detected, it could gather its allies with the fastest speed. Adding Heavenly Mandate Academy and Ziwei Imperial Palace into the mix, cultivators from all sides were completely connected.

For the first time in more than 300 years, the Original Realm had formed such a pervasive unification, ending nearly 400 years of division.

Regarding the changes that took place in the Nine Realms, these external forces had made a note to themselves, and most of them had not left the Original Realm. Instead, they stayed on quietly, observing these changes, and their hearts were greatly disturbed.

Previously, neither the forces from the Divine Prefecture, the Dark World, nor the Empty Divine Realm had paid much attention to the forces within the Original Realm. In their eyes, they were but targets to be slaughtered at will. Before, many forces had participated in the campaign against Heavenly Mandate Academy, and the Holy Land of Taichu had paid a heavy price—the death of Swordmaster of Taichu himself.

But now, everything was different. The forces in the Original Realm had been unified. Coupled with the power from Ziwei Segmentum, it was not so easy to be taken down any one force in the Original Realm. Be it the Divine Prefecture or the Dark World, there were not many forces that would provoke the Heavenly Mandate Academy in its current state unless they conspired together.

This situation did not bode well for forces from the outside. Their desire to grab more resources from the Original Realm seemed an impossible endeavor.

The Solar Divine Palace of Solar Realm was the only force that did not submit besides the realms that had been destroyed.

Once upon a time, the Solar Divine Palace had unified the Solar Realm, and all the forces in the entire Realm obeyed the orders given by Solar Divine Palace. In addition, they had the support of Sun God Mountain—a supreme power in the Upper Worlds. Nevertheless, even at a time like this, they did not submit.

After all, Sun God Mountain was a supreme power in the Upper Worlds. According to legend, they were descendants of the Sun God and had all the rights to be proud as they were qualified to do so. In the Upper Worlds, Sun God Mountain was one of the top principalities.

At this time, inside Solar Divine Palace, the blazing solar divine fire shrouded the palace; the currents of flames flowed about in extreme brilliance.

Inside the Divine Palace, in front of the solar pattern, a majestic figure stood there, surveying the crowd below. It was the top figure from the Sun God Mountain who had fought with Ye Futian that day, the man who had passed the first Divine Tribulation. However, he was almost killed by Ye Futian’s shocking sword while he had control over the body of Shenjia the Great Emperor.

“What’s the situation outside?” asked the man of might power from Sun God Mountain.

“Heavenly Mandate Academy has taken control of the top forces from all realms,” a strong man responded. “Should we evacuate?”

All realms had gone to pledge their allegiance to Heavenly Mandate Academy, but the Solar Divine Palace had not.

However, Solar Divine Palace had participated in several assault operations in the past. The fact that they did not apologize and pledge fealty was not something that Ye Futian would easily overlook.

That top cultivator from Sun God Mountain pondered for a moment. Were they doomed to fail this time?

Now, with the power gathered by the Heavenly Mandate Academy, unless it were the Divine Mountain Lord himself who came to the Lower Worlds, they would probably be unable to stop its momentum. This meant that they would have to abandon the Solar Realm.

The Divine Mountain Lord was, at the moment, cultivating in retreat; he had not left the mountain for many years. Therefore, he couldn’t come to the Lower Worlds. This time he brought a group of cultivators to the Original Realm on a mission. However, were they going to have to give up the Solar Realm after all that?

He was somewhat reluctant.

Now, the body of Shenjia the Great Emperor had been taken away by that one from Four Corner Village. But, perhaps, he still had a fighting chance.

At this moment, he seemed to have sensed something. He raised his head and looked into the distance. He immediately felt a horrible aura descending. As if coming from outside the firmament, these auras were greatly terrifying, and each one was incredibly strong.

Soon, all the cultivators from Solar Divine Palace felt an oppressive force. They knew that trouble was afoot.

Ye Futian, who had cleaned up all the principalities in the Original Realm, was unlikely to let them off the hook. Now, it seemed that the time of reckoning was upon them.

In addition, in different areas high above the sky were many top forces from the Divine Prefecture. They were here, looking in the direction of the Solar Divine Palace below. As soon as they detected movement from the Heavenly Mandate Realm, they had come, knowing that an impending battle was bound to erupt.

The Heavenly Mandate Academy would not let Solar Divine Palace off the hook.

Soon, above the sky, a group of cultivators appeared. There weren’t many of them, but each one of them was like a god, standing high above the void, looking down at Solar Divine Palace below. The sight vaguely reminded them of an event once upon a time, when all the major forces were surrounding and looking down upon the Heavenly Mandate Academy.

Among them was the supreme cultivator of Ziwei the Great, Renhuang Chen, holding a scepter, standing high above the sky. Radiant starlight continued to fall.

Ye Futian was also there, standing next to Renhuang Chen, with other powerful cultivators, such as the Millet Emperor, next to them. Thus, everyone in attendance was a powerful major existence.

Suddenly, the vast Solar Divine Palace was being oppressed below, and everyone could feel the suffocating pressure. The expressions of many cultivators in the Divine Palace changed. They did not understand why that figure with mighty power from Sun God Mountain was not retreating.

Now, it seemed too late.

Heavenly Mandate Academy was here to exact its revenge.

Boom… Suddenly, Solar Divine Palace was submerged by a terrifying divine fire. Downward from the Divine Palace, there seemed to be a passage leading to the center of the earth, like a powerful Flaming Divine Matrix had been urged at the moment. Instantly, the divine flames radiated out into a radius of thousands of miles, and the ground began to burn. The area where the Solar Divine Palace was now seemed to have been turned into a terrifying blazing furnace.

For a moment, the cultivators from Solar Divine Palace couldn’t bear this tremendous power.

“No…” Some people’s faces revealed a look of shock and disbelief as their bodies turned into nothingness little by little. Many let out miserable screams.

Inside, many top cultivators from Solar Divine Palace looked at that man with great capabilities, shock written all over their faces. It turned out that he could not care less about whether those from the Solar Divine Palace lived or died!
