How powerful would they be if a Near-Deity Cultivator borrowed the Power of the Statue of Tianshen?

Black Almighty Great Skylord drew power from it when he fought with Supreme Swordlord. Even a top-tier cultivator like the latter needed an Imperial Arm to hold his ground against the former.

Now that Supreme Heavenly King wanted to extract the Power of the Statue of Tianshen to fight Ye Futian, how could he contend?

An overpowering pressure filled the entire vast space. The Statue of Tianshen was gleaming with Divine Light. In the next moment, a phantom of an Ancient Tianshen with a height of approximately over 300 meters manifested. It brimmed with overwhelming Divine Power.

That Ancient Tianshen was the one Gaia Star Lord had communicated with. Both master and disciple communed with and drew power from the same statue. This being must be a symbol of strength to the Gods.

An intimidating force suppressed all the cultivators at the scene. Supreme Heavenly King’s already frightening Might only further intensified after drawing power from the Statue of Tianshen.

If nothing went south, there would be no suspense for the result of this battle.

When the onlookers turned to look at Ye Futian, they noticed that he vanished into thin air out of the blue. Everyone was frowning with discomposure as they searched for his whereabouts.

Soon, their pupils shrunk as they set their eyes on a location. Their hearts skipped a beat when they saw where Ye Futian was.

Did he have a screw loose?

Ye Futian stood upright on the sky stairwell.

Not only did he not retreat, but he even climbed up the sky stairwell. He moved closer toward his opponent in the presence of the Power of Tianshen.

Was he out of his mind?

On second thought, Ye Futian seemed to understand that he would have no place to escape if Supreme Heavenly King were to crush him with the Power of Tianshen. Should that be the case, he might as well face it like a man.

However, the onlookers were proved wrong about Ye Futian when they saw his body glinting with Divine Light. Several rays of turquoise light covered the whole atmosphere, including the Statue of Tianshen. When the light touched the statue, it penetrated the latter.

“What is he trying to do?”

Everyone laid their eyes on Ye Futian, who was on the sky stairwell. Even the Heaven Realm Cultivators were staring at him. However, the Gods gazed at him in disdain, assuming he was only a worm looking for his death.

“Are you tired of living?” Supreme Heavenly King emanated his God’s Might as he glared at the approaching Ye Futian. How dare he gets so near to me?

As he unleashed his Might, an authentic Divine Power was released from the Statue of Tianshen at the same time. Ye Futian felt the pressure instantly from where he stood. He knew that escaping from the reach of God’s Might was impossible.

Nevertheless, Ye Futian had never planned to flee from there. In the next moment, he expanded his aura until it reached the Statue of Tianshen. Meanwhile, his Divine Consciousness went into the statue as well. There was no hesitation or fear in his eyes as he looked forward at the scene.

Raising his head, Ye Futian peered at the phantom of Tianshen while the latter lowered its eyes to look at the lower plane. Their gazes were met.

Rumble! Everyone was stunned when they heard the eerie noise. Many were baffled when they noticed the Statue of Tianshen behind Supreme Heavenly King trembled precariously.

Supreme Heavenly King furrowed his brows as he sensed something amiss. Soon, colors slowly drained from his face.

What in the world was happening?

He felt his connection with the statue was gradually becoming weaker.

He realized that Ye Futian was not paying attention to him when he turned to gape at the latter, who did not remove his gaze from the phantom of Tianshen in the void. While everyone was glancing at him in bafflement, Ye Futian, his eyes remaining on the Statue of Tianshen, announced, “Ancient Tianshen of Old Heaven Court, prudently consider who should be the one to inherit your Divine Power!”

Roar! A spine-chilling Divine Power emanated from the Statue of Tianshen and the tremor further intensified. The hearts of the crowd were pounding like crazy at the sight of it.

Was Ye Futian attempting to seize control of the statue?

Still, wasn’t Ye Futian one step behind? Before his arrival, Supreme Heavenly King had already communicated with the Will of the Statue, awakening it to draw the Divine Power of Tianshen from it.

Was Ye Futian going to subjugate it the first thing after he came?

Was his aptitude in this area that impressive?

Ye Futian discharged a mighty Divine Power around him, though the overwhelming God’s Might remained. He stood upright without a single wavering. With his eyes laying on the phantom of Tianshen, the Force of Great Path seeped through the statue from his body.

He could commune with the Divine Ruler with his power. Both the Divine Ruler and the Demonic Blade could sense the force within him.

Therefore, it should come as no surprise that the Statue of Tianshen could do the same.

The Power of the Spirit merged with the Light of the Divine Ruler and flooded into the statue. Immediately, he sensed the Will of Tianshen and noticed that the Ancient Tianshen had sealed itself within the Power of the Statue. Upon sensing the Will, Ye Futian caught sight of a gigantic Tianshen, who stood tall under the sky, possessing peerless strength while holding a battleax.

Although the Wills remained in the statues, they did not leave any Imperial Arm. Perhaps, the Ancient Tianshen had brought the Imperial Arms to the battlefield then. These were the remains as they might have gone to the war knowing they would never return.

Ye Futian’s Divine Power awakened the power within the statue and assimilated it with his. Eventually, Supreme Heavenly King felt like he was expelled from the statue as he slowly lost his connection with it.

Boom! The Statue of Tianshen stopped quivering after the deep boom was heard.

Supreme Heavenly King’s hearts palpitated violently. He no longer had his dignified look but stared at Ye Futian in disbelief.

How did Ye Futian do it?

Ye Futian paid him no heed but looked at the Statue of Tianshen behind him and declared, “Ancient Tianshen, I hereby announce that I will inherit your Divine Power!”

The statue resonated with Ye Futian right after he spoke. A Divine Light suddenly covered both of them. Shortly after, the Divine Power within Ye Futian was stirred up and circulated inside him frantically. A mountainous phantom of Tianshen materialized while the multitude of cultivators looked in astonishment. It appeared to be more massive and gallant than before as if it was resurrected.

Ji Wudao, who remained at the same spot in the sky, could not help but draw in a cold breath. Naturally, he was observing Ye Futian’s actions and was greatly confounded.

Bang! A deafening sound could be heard when Ye Futian struck his palm forward. Immediately, the enormous phantom of Tianshen released a colossal Divine Seal and directed it at Supreme Heavenly King.

They were only a stone’s throw away from one another. Supreme Heavenly King still did not recover from his dazed state. So, he raised his hand to guard himself reflexively, and a violent clash could be heard.. Supreme Heavenly King, a Near-Deity Cultivator, was hurled back to a great distance by the overwhelming Divine Power.
