Chapter 2417: No Way to Fight Back

Yu Hou’s expression changed, just as the sun behind him was changing as well, turning into a huge solar pattern. In a brief moment, this vast area became fiery hot as the temperature rose sharply, about to incinerate the entire space.

Psst... A piercing sizzling sound was heard, and a terrifying light of destruction shot out from the solar divine pattern, illuminating Ye Futian. In return, Ye Futian simply raised his head to look at Yu Hou as he raised his hand and pointed towards the void.

Buzz! A light from his finger directly penetrated the space and fell on that gigantic pattern. In an instant, the pattern was pierced, and fissures begin to appear. Yu Hou let out a muffled groan. His face paled as he retreated rapidly higher into the sky.

Between Ye Futian and him, a sword light appeared to connect heaven and earth like a sword that had traversed the void. It was not until Ye Futian pulled back his arm that Yu Hou finally breathed a sigh of relief. He looked at the figure below with great shock.

How could he be so strong?

As the same existence of Renhuang in the Eighth-Realm, he had considered his combat effectiveness quite worthy. He himself was an extremely well-known figure in the Great Bright City.

Yu Hou was the most outstanding cultivator of the Yu family’s younger generation. But, he was defeated by a single finger.

All the cultivators surrounding them were looking at Ye Futian with altered perception. Chen Yi had made a move before this. Lin Xi was obliterated just as the light was blooming. This was before the cultivators from the Lin family had time to render aid. At the time, everyone could see that Chen Yi’s strength was incredible.

But Ye Futian was the one Blind Chen felt compelled to welcome in person. Blind Chen’s identity left a lot to the imagination, and his strength was a puzzle to them all.

What they could have never imagined was Ye Futian was so powerful that Yu Hou was defeated by a single finger, unable to put up much of a fight. If Ye Futian stayed on the offensive, it was highly likely that Yu Hou would be slain.

They didn’t know that when Ye Futian was yet a Renhuang in the Seventh-Realm, he had already defeated the Devil Emperor’s direct disciple, who was in the Eighth-Realm. Yu Hou may be a known figure in the Great Bright City, but compared to the direct disciple of the Devil Emperor or even the descendants of the Great Emperor from the Ancient God Clan, he was far from being on the same level. How could he even begin to dream of combating Ye Futian, who was in the same realm as him? The strength of the two was not even close.

Furthermore, during the chaotic times in the Original Realm, Ye Futian was in retreat for more than a decade, focusing solely on his cultivation. His strength had far surpassed where he once was, and he was not on a level that Yu Hou could compare with.

Among all the cultivators present, except for Ye Futian and his own group, only Blind Chen was not surprised. Since he knew about Ye Futian’s deeds in the Original Realm, he was quite unsurprised by his combat effectiveness.

Just as he had said, people like Yu Hou may be the enchanting existence of Great Bright City, but in front of Ye Futian, they dimmed in comparison.

“Who are you, really?” Yu Hou stood in the void and questioned Ye Futian while staring at him.

Ye Futian glanced at him without bothering to respond. Now that he had offended the Imperial Palace, there were still many forces in the Divine Prefecture that had not forgotten about him, even if Donghuang the Great had let him off the hook. Although there might not be much danger to speak of in the Great Bright Domain, he was not eager to expose himself.

After this business finished, he planned to leave for the Western World immediately.

“Who else would like to give it a try?” Ye Futian asked, looking at the cultivators from the four top forces in the void. Now that Yu Hou was repelled by a single blow, other cultivators in the Eighth-Realm would hardly qualify as a challenge.

For a time, no one moved a muscle.

“If no one else is interested in coming forward, then please enter the Portal of Light,” Ye Futian looked at the door in front of him and said.

“The Seven Stars Mansion would like to see your strength.” The Seven-Night Star Lord of the Seven Stars Mansion stepped forward. Several others followed right behind him. Everyone looked alarmed. Were these seven powerful cultivators ready to raise their hands against Ye Futian?

“Us seven at the Seven Star Mansion are one and the same. Your cultivation is superb. Ee hope you don’t mind,” said the Seven-Night Star Lord. Obviously, he realized that the power of one man was hardly enough to affect Ye Futian in any meaningful way, so he wanted the seven of them to try in a united effort to see what kind of character this Ye Futian was.

“As you please.” Ye Futian stood there quietly. It seemed as if he didn’t mind at all that he was up against a party of seven.

The Seven Star Lords levitated into the air. In an instant, the firmament underwent a drastic change, and a starry sky world appeared above them, covering the entire area.

The Seven Star Lords were stationed in different directions, forming a kind of a matrix. Seven stars moved as one coherent entity.

When Ye Futian saw this, he slowly levitated into the air as well. After a while, he was suspended in the void right underneath the seven cultivators.

Buzz! The Seven Star Lords of the Seven Stars Mansion possessed an astounding aura. The stars revolved as seven stars gathered together. The Seven-Night Star Lord raised his hand and slammed towards Ye Futian. Suddenly, a dull rumbling sound came from the sky. Many stars had gathered and surrounded that giant palm. It blasted toward Ye Futian at the same time.

Ye Futian raised his head as he took in the sight. His mind turned ever so slightly, and suddenly, a miniature version of the starry sky world appeared around him. The starry light screen surrounded him and closed, turning into a defense. The attack in the void blasted down, and a sudden dull rumbling was heard. However, it could not shake the light screen that was blocked in front of Ye Futian.

The expressions on the faces of the Seven Star Lords changed a bit. Their divine consciousness twitched slightly, and suddenly, even more stars appeared between heaven and earth.

However, at this moment, Ye Futian’s mind turned again, and countless starlight spread outward as the will of the Great Path shrouded the boundless space. Soon, a great starry sky world appeared in this space, and the stars in the sky were shining brightly. They were suspended in the sky, surrounding the starry sky world formed by the Seven Star Lords.

This... All the onlookers watched with great interest. This was the suppression of the Great Path Domain, which directly overpowered the Great Path Domain of another. The Seven Star Lords watched the stars revolving in the sky. The power emitted from the stars alerted them. The energy effused from the Seven-Night Star Lord gradually diminished as he looked at Ye Futian and said, “It seems that the old diviner was right, after all.”

They had indeed been outdone by Ye Futian.

In an instant, the starlight dissipated, and their auras retracted as well. Seeing this, Ye Futian did the same.

The Seven Star Lords took one last look at Ye Futian, then stepped back, but not without some deep thoughts of their own. Indeed, there would always be some youngsters out there that could get the better of them. They had thought that their strength was second to none, but they never expected that someone could suppress them to this degree that they had no ability to fight back.

There were many other cultivators from the Great Bright City around the Relic. Many of them were in total shock when they saw what just transpired in front of them. They were now even more curious about Ye Futian and everything about him.

In front of him, these top figures from the Great Bright City looked like weaklings.

Obviously, it was not because they were weak, but that Ye Futian was far too strong.

“I don’t think there is any need for more tests,” Blind Chen said. “I’ve already said that he is the one who can open the Relic of the Temple of Light, and so he is. All of you have been in the Great Bright City for many years, and if you, too, want to open the Relic of the Temple of Light, then, please believe what I have said and assist our friend.”
