Since Haotian the Great became emperor, the news swept across the Gods’ Ruins Continent. Many of the cultivators outside the Ye Imperial Palace had all left for temporary refuge. They were worried they would suffer from a disaster like the alliance by the Ancient God Clans in the past.

However, many strong cultivators also stayed. They held a deep faith in the Ye Imperial Palace and chose to remain despite facing a life-or-death crisis.

At this time, countless people looked up to the sky. With the Ye Imperial Palace as the center, a dazzling golden divine light shone down in the vast and boundless region. Huge golden coffins hovered in the air as if they had come to collect the corpses of the Ye Imperial Palace cultivators.

Haotian the Great had returned, entering the Emperor Plane. He would first sacrifice the most monstrous figure of the current world—Ye Futian—to announce his return.

The cultivators of the Ye Imperial Palace all walked out and floated above the Ye Imperial Palace, looking up at the sky.

Boom… There was a huge sound, and the sky and land shook. A hole appeared above the dome in the sky, opening up a vast golden passageway. There was a group of might figures at the other end of the golden passageway. They looked down at the lower sky with intense murderous intent.

These people were indeed strong figures from the Haotian Clan. Haotian the Great of their clan had returned together, so they had prospered in connection.

The Haotian Clan was an emperor-level force now. Soon, it would gloriously become one of the top forces of the world.

The long-cherished wish that they had yearned for had finally come true.

More dazzling divine light showered down from the sky. A peerless figure appeared in the center of the heavenly passageway. He seemed to be in another world, but the cultivators in the lower sky could see him clearly.

It was a Great Emperor. Haotian the Great had returned.

Returning as a Great Emperor, his temperament had changed drastically. He was utterly superior and looked down on the world. Merely standing there, he represented the heavens. All beings and lives were below him.

Seeing the scene before them, the cultivators of the Ye Imperial Palace and surrounding areas all felt hopeless. The Great Emperor’s might made them feel powerless. The Great Emperor-To-Bes had already been unmatchable in the past, and no one could stop them.

Let alone a completed Great Emperor.

All Great Emperors were unparalleled. Even when there had been many Great Emperors in the ancient Age of Gods, those who could become Great Emperors were still those who had reached the peak of the masses. They had already transformed the Path and became the world’s physical incarnate of the Heavenly Path.

Then they saw the golden coffins shake and drop down from the sky, going straight for the Ye Imperial Palace.

These golden coffins seemed to be unstoppable, carrying incomparable force.

Then some figures broke through the sky at the same time. The Supreme Swordlord and his sword were filled with supreme force. He penetrated the sky and stabbed a golden coffin.

In another direction, Blind Tie hefted the Sky Tremor in his hand and slammed into a golden coffin, shattering the wood.

Gu Dongliu extended a hand, and it sounded like many demon gods roared simultaneously. Frightening Divine Power started surging, breaking into a coffin.

Ling Long was more direct. She stepped into the sky directly and destroyed a coffin with one punch.

In almost an instant, the golden coffins that had descended were all forcefully shattered by the people of the Ye Imperial Palace. The surrounding strong cultivators were all shaken inside. The Ye Imperial Palace was so strong nowadays.

Plus, the strongest of them—Ye Futian and the West Emperor—had not acted yet.

But this was also why many people felt even more depressed. They could not imagine what places such a strong Ye Imperial Palace could reach in the future.

However, the Great Emperor wanted to destroy the Ye Imperial Palace, forbidding it from reaching its peak.

The coffins shattered, but the Haotian Clan strong cultivators at the top of the sky were still staring down. Endless brilliant light shone down, and a supreme might dropped down. There were terrifying booms, and the Haotian Divine Seal appeared in the sky. It covered the entire sky and sun, coming toward the Gods’ Ruins Continent.

The sky broke, a huge hole opening up, as the divine seal come down from the heavens. The cultivators of the vast lands looked up and could only see the divine seal. It plummeted with extremely frightening destructive divine light as if it wanted to destroy all beings.

Countless people’s bodies shook. Some tried madly to escape from this region, but the divine seal covered the entire sky. There was nowhere to go. It was like they could only wait hopelessly for death.

This was an authentic Haotian Divine Seal. With one blow, it covered the sky and was unstoppable. All beings were about to be shattered under the Haotian Divine Seal.

Suddenly, it started raining in that area. A figure shot up against the tide, going toward the Haotian Divine Seal that covered the sky. It was the West Emperor attacking. He stabbed with the Raindrop Divine Sword, and it landed directly on the humongous divine seal. Countless raindrops stabbed toward the divine seal, and marks appeared on it. However, divine light shimmered on the divine seal. It was impenetrable. At the same time, supreme divine might fell upon the West Emperor, pushing him down. He returned to the Ye Imperial Palace as a beam of light.

Kaboom… The horrifying shaking continued. Brilliant light shone down, and many people sprawled onto the ground. Some people whose cultivations weren’t enough even let out muffled grunts. It felt like their bodies were about to be broken and crushed. The divine seal contained Haotian Divine Power.

At present, the entire heaven was pressing down. One could imagine how terrifying the might was.

If this blow fell down, everyone would die, turning to dust.

A Great Emperor could exterminate countless beings with one thought. This wasn’t an exaggeration.

“Is this really it?” Many people felt despair. They looked at the impeding Haotian Divine Seal. It seemed right above their heads already and was about to fall down.

Some people even closed their eyes, accepting this reality. A terrible storm had swept over, and the might landed on their bodies. They already saw death.

Just then, a beam of light appeared in the direction of the Ye Imperial Palace. The light continued up, and all the Ye Imperial Palace cultivators looked up toward the light.

Bang! There was a terrifying noise, and the heavens shook furiously as if the world was falling apart.

The hearts of the strong cultivators beat madly. The terrifying Haotian Divine Seal had actually stopped. A tiny figure appeared under the divine seal, but it was indeed the figure that seemed so miniscule that it pushed up the sky, stopping the divine seal.

Countless beams of light shot out, and the huge Haotian Divine Seal cracked from the center. It broke into countless pieces and, paired with the huge boom and countless beams of light; the Haotian Divine Seal fell apart completely.

Countless people looked at the white-haired figure in the sky. Their hearts couldn’t stop pounding.

“What just happened?”

Many people had already closed their eyes in despair. A storm had swept past, and the heavens’ might actually disappeared. They saw a figure standing at the top of the sky. He was not very big, but he was like a heavenly god, blocking the sky above the Ye Imperial Palace.

He looked up at the sky, gaze penetrating the air and staring straight at Haotian the Great outside of this space.

This scene was still ingrained in countless people’s minds even years later. It was unforgettable.
