Chapter 2617: Differences in Status?

The Sword Will above the firmament was getting stronger, and the light of the demonic tribulation was overwhelmed by that most destructive Sword Will. What was even more terrifying was that the aura of the Great Path and those clouds of tribulations between heavens and earth were also converging into that divine light.

Buzz! Divine swords were suspended above the sword domain, and each divine sword released an apocalyptic divine light; it seemed as if they were the most powerful swords of punishment in the world. The area around Ye Futian was surrounded by the divine light emitted from those swords.

This terrifying sword light continued to descend, aiming in the direction of the Devil Imperial Palace below. The Earth Demon Sage emerged from the Devil Imperial Palace to guard it from above, creating a massive and powerful shield that blocked the light from those falling divine swords.

The dark eyes of the Earth Demon Sage fixed at the sky above him. He had felt a force of punishment. It seemed as if it was a punishment from heaven itself.

This was even more apparent to Ye Futian. This sword domain had turned into a penalizing prison, and the area in which it covered would be nothing be total destruction.

“Tianxing Divine Sword,” the Devil Emperor murmured when he saw the scene unfolding. He didn’t think that he would be able to witness the Tianxing Divine Sword in action again. Watching it being wielded by Donghuang Diyuan reminded him of too many things.

Donghuang the Great had been the undisputed number one figure for the past thousand years. He achieved fame out of nowhere and ascended to the throne simply by his incredible and unbelievable talents. The most terrifying thing about Donghuang the Great was that there was nothing that he was incapable of. He had cultivated all sorts of methods throughout the world and had cultivated each of them to a great degree. He was the true epitome of genius talent.

Tianxing Divine Sword was a technique for punishment. It was meant to impose sword punishment in a specific area of the world and spare no one within that sword domain.

This technique first came from the wife of Donghuang the Great.

Ye Futian felt the power of destruction, and his expression was solemn. The divine light in this space had extinguished all other existences. Everything was destroyed within the sword domain; the flesh, the spiritual soul, and everything else had turned into nothingness. This destruction was invisible, and even the will that exuded from Ye Futian was destroyed as well.

More importantly, the divine brilliance contained within the Tianxing Divine Sword was the true imperial will. It was obvious that Donghuang Diyuan had the inheritance from more than just one great emperor.

With a thought, a starry field suddenly appeared around him, surrounded by all the stars in the heavens. With Ye Futian’s body as the center, an independent space of the starry field was formed.

Donghuang Diyuan’s eyes glanced over the starry domain, and divine light bloomed. Tianxing Divine Swords fell all of a sudden as they flew towards the starry field.

Bang, bang, bang! The terrifying sounds of collision were heard. When Tianxing Divine Swords came in for the kill, the stars began to crack upon impact, then shattered. The divine swords rushed in among the stars, and even the terrifying stars of the Great Path were collapsing. The imagery of destruction was akin to the end of the world.

But when all the divine swords entered deep within, their power was weakened considerably. Divine swords around Ye Futian attacked without hesitation and blocked off the incoming Tianxing Divine Swords.

Donghuang Diyuan stood below the runes of the Tianxing Divine Swords that were hanging in the sky, and her body bloomed with radiant divine glory. The divine swords were endless as they continued to rain down like a blanket of destruction.

The sky above the Devil Imperial Palace was full of shocking explosions as the cultivators from the Devil Imperial Palace watched on, their hearts beating violently.

Donghuang Diyuan stretched out her hand and made a gesture to press down to the area below. Suddenly, an infinitely gigantic Tianxing divine sword blasted downward.

It came down in an instant, broke through every defense, and destroyed all Great Paths. All the divine swords in the vicinity went with it to become one, and the entire sword domain was filled with incomparable destructive power.

Boom! This sword directly went for the space above Ye Futian, but was blocked by a brilliant starry light screen. Immediately after, however, the starry light screen was torn apart little by little as the divine sword continued its way down. But from the inside, a starry divine sword appeared, as the starry light from the heavens gathered together. An awful rumbling sound was heard as the starry divine sword emerged from the firmament above and blasted down at that Tianxing Divine Sword.

At the time when Ye Futian slew the Mountain Master of Celestial Worthy Mountain, once his divine sword was unleashed, there was no stopping him. But the Mountain Master of Celestial Worthy Mountain was obviously not Donghuang Diyuan, and the combat effectiveness of Donghuang Diyuan far surpassed the other, on more levels than one.

Indeed, no matter the realm, there was always a gap between different cultivators.

Ye Futian raised his head to take a look at Donghuang Diyuan, his body turned into the divine body of the Great Path as divine light lingered. All his methods had now unified into one. His whole body was radiant like a divine sword, sharp to the extreme.

Buzz! A stream of light sailed through the void and penetrated everything. None of the Tianxing swords that rained down was able to block this extremely brilliant streamer of light.

Donghuang Diyuan exercised extremely quick reflex as she reacted. The phantom of the divine phoenix appeared, sheltering the sky and obscuring the sun. With a long cry, her body turned into a fiery red ancestral phoenix, dominant beyond words. She smashed down with both of her hands, colliding with the incoming streamers of swordsmanship.

Bang! A loud sound came out, and the body of Donghuang Diyuan was repelled backward by the attacks from the light streamers. However, the light streamers were unable to penetrate her hand.

There was another violent and long cry, and the surrounding area turned into the domain of the phoenix, a world of flames. The terrifying phoenix divine flames covered that streamer divine sword in an instant, wanting to incinerate it into nothing.

The two figures separated, and the streamer of light retreated. A divine flame seemed to have ignited his body, and the power of Yin surged from inside his body. Even so, the divine flame was not yet extinguished. It did not dissipate until the power of Yin grew much stronger.

Ye Futian had also received phoenix’s Wutong divine flame, but it was not as powerful as the other’s phoenix divine flame.

Donghuang Diyuan bathed in the phoenix divine flame, haughtier than ever. What she inherited was the power of the ancestral phoenix Devil Monarch, and she had refined her body with the blood of the phoenix’s divine blood and inherited the immortal fire of the phoenix. This divine flame of the Devil Monarch had been immortal since time immemorial. It even possessed the power of Nirvana and was definitely no weaker than Ye Futian’s Divine Fire of the Sun.

Ye Futian sighed in his heart. Naturally, Donghuang the Great had given all his best resources to his only daughter.

Her starting point was the goal that most people in the world could only hope for.

“It seems that the power of Yin that you inherited once upon a time was effective in extinguishing my ancestral phoenix divine flame,” Donghuang Diyuan said with a proud look in her eyes. She knew that Ye Futian had obtained the power of Yin, but in her position, she was loathing to fight over it with Ye Futian.

“Thanks to you, Your Royal Highness,” Ye Futian responded coldly. Regarding the opportunities back then, if it were not because of Donghuang Diyuan, he would never have participated in the war, and he would not have gone to the center of the earth to obtain the power of Yin.

“You don’t need to thank me. The opportunity that you have gotten by risking your life is something I already had since birth.” Donghuang Diyuan responded nonchalantly, still so cold, arrogant, and above everyone else.

Ye Futian couldn’t help but twitch inside his heart, and his eyes remained icy cold. What she said was true enough. He had used his own life time and time again, risking hardships and danger to exchange all those opportunities in cultivation. However, these were all things that Donghuang Diyuan already had at birth.

And all this could have been his at birth as well.

But he was deprived of them all!
