The woman in white glanced at Ye Futian, then looked away, turning her attention back to the old man.
Her body turned into a phantom and disappeared directly.
“B*stard!” the old man cursed angrily. He turned his body into many afterimages. Spatial divine light circulated as he attempted to escape with the light., His method was exceptional.
However, the woman in white also tuned into a phantom. By the time Ye Futian looked over on that side, he could see that many afterimages had populated the space. A powerful aura of the Great Path erupted from the old man as if he could no longer afford to care much about anything.
But the moment his aura was released outwardly, a terrifying will surged between heaven and earth, blasting upon him directly from nowhere. At the same time, the woman in white was already in front of him, and her two hands slammed into the body of the old man.
Bang! The old man’s body gave a violent shudder. This terrifying will directly impacted his spiritual soul, shattering it instantly into pieces. His lifeless body fell from the sky. He was already a corpse by then.
Ye Futian witnessed alll this and saw how the old man was killed, feeling a little guilty inside. He may not have been the one who attracted the woman. It seemed that she was already chasing after the old man. But still, it had something to do with him being on the scene.
Of course, this kind of guilt was nothing more than a passing thought. After all, his situation at the moment was not much better!
The woman in white slowly turned around, and those dead eyes fell on Ye Futian. An invisible will fluctuated, covering this entire space as if it had also locked onto Ye Futian. This woman was a member of the living dead, so her eyes could not possibly see anyone or anything, Since she was not living,
perhaps her actions were just the result of instinctual perception.
Buzz! The woman in white turned into an afterimage once again and disappeared. That terrifying will came at Ye Futian, and it was a mighty fighting will. Ye Futian tensed up. With a thought, he disappeared right from where he was.
Boom… A terrifying blow slammed somewhere in the void, and the space shuddered violently, but it failed to make contact with Ye Futian as he appeared somewhere else. This was the advantage of the Buddha’s Celerity—he could move at will with a single turning of his mind without resorting to the
power of the Great Path, so it could not be locked down by the terrifying will that pervaded this world.
“Not a heavenly god!” Ye Futian sense that the woman in white was likely not a heavenly god when she was alive. If she had been one of the ancient deities, she would be much stronger than this, and he would have no chance of escaping her attacks.
Even so, the woman in white seemed to be transformed by the fighting will itself. Ye Futian didn’t have time to think too much about it, as the next wave of attack was upon him again. His figure flickered and was gone in an instant, disappearing from this space and reappearing someplace very distant.
However, Ye Futian discovered, to his dismay, that he did not throw off his opponent or her attacks. The terrifying fighting will become a divine battle seal and blasted at him. He moved and flickered continuously, but the attacks were not deterred by the spatial distance between them, as if it would not
cease until it had eliminated its target.
Ye Futian knew that he couldn’t evade it, so he gathered all the power within him to one of his arms. Suddenly the arm became brilliant, glowing with the divine light inside. Then, it blasted forward at the divine battle seal.
Boom! This terrifying attack flattened everything. At the moment of the attack, Ye Futian used Buddha’s Celerity to change his position. Even then, a terrifying fighting will still swept over him, which caused him to groan. His face paled as all of his internal organs were trembling from the impact of the
aftershock, and his spiritual soul was shaking.
Although she was not a deity, the fighting will contained in the attacks was the will left by the heavenly gods. Unlike the will, they had inherited or comprehended the world outside. This opponent, for example, seemed to be a manifestation of this supreme will.
That’s why the attacks were so overpowering, enough to hurt him with just a single blow, even when he had evaded using Buddha’s Celerity. If he had sustained the full impact of this blow, he would be in much worse shape.
Ye Futian retracted his aura and continued to evade the woman using Buddha’s Celerity. Eventually, the woman in white lost track of him. Clearly, just by sensing his existence with her will had its own limitations. After all, she was not an actual cultivator but just a zombie.
Otherwise, he would really be dead meat in here.
However, there seemed to be no danger in this small world other than the woman. Ye Futian wondered what kind of existence that woman in white was.
He changed his position and continued moving forward without seeing any signs of other cultivators. With his previous experience, Ye Futian knew very well that anyone who had entered here was either killed. Or, if they were still alive, they would keep an extremely low profile to keep themselves
hidden.
Ultimately, no other cultivators had the ability of Buddha’s Celerity. If they encountered the woman in white, chances were that they would die in her hands.
Ye Futian’s divine consciousness expanded in the hopes of finding some other cultivator to inquire about the situation at hand. However, he dared not spread his divine consciousness too widely, fearing that the woman in white would perceive it somehow.
“Huh?” At this moment, Ye Futian had a strange look on his face. He looked ahead and saw that there was a stone forest next to a river. The stone forest was very expansive, and inside, Ye Futian sensed a familiar presence.
In the stone forest, a woman was sitting cross-legged. At this moment, her beautiful eyes suddenly opened, and she raised one eyebrow. Coldness flashed across her eyes.
This woman was wonderful, clad in a phoenix robe, trailing behind her on the ground. Her long black hair fell behind her freely. She raised her head slightly and saw the figure in white that appeared on a boulder in the stone forest.
“Do you know that it is extremely dangerous to release divine consciousness in this place?” The woman’s voice was cold as she stared at Ye Futian, walking towards her.
Ye Futian didn’t answer but kept looking at her instead, so much so that the woman’s brows knit tightly together. A sharp look came out of those beautiful eyes of hers. However, she kept her aura of the Great Path under control as not to let it seep outside. Clearly, she was well aware of the rules that
governed this small world.
“Is Princess Donghuang injured?” Ye Futian asked. The woman in front of him was none other than Donghuang Diyuan, who ventured into this Forbidden Zone of the Gods by herself. She seemed to be in hiding here, to recover from her wounds. Perhaps, she had a previous encounter with that woman in
white.
Donghuang Diyuan made no response, so Ye Futian continued, “Princess Donghuang has been in this Forbidden Zone of the Gods for a while. Do you know what place is this, and what is the deal with that woman in white?”
He did not know if Donghuang Diyuan had any information.
“Do I now you?” Donghuang Diyuan replied.
Ye Futian gave Donghuang Diyuan a look, then smiled. “Indeed, we don’t know each other well. But on the other hand, we have a long history of grievances.”
As he was speaking, he jumped in front of Donghuang Diyuan, and there was a look of mischief in his eyes.
This princess of the Divine Prefecture was truly cold and arrogant to the core.
“So, do you want to settle our old scores here?” Donghuang Diyuan raised her head and looked at Ye Futian, who was in front of her. There was not the slightest sign of panic as she asked, “Do you think you can?”
Ye Futian stared at her in disbelief when he heard those fighting words from Donghuang Diyuan.. Was she trying to pick a fight with him?
