Chapter 2701: Heir of the Heavenly Emperor

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
As Donghuang Diyuan stepped out, Ji Wudao moved forward on the sky stairwell and looked at Princess Donghuang.
All the cultivators had their eyes on them and eagerly awaited the battle, especially those ranked at the emperor level. They knew Donghuang Diyuan would want to come here to fight with Ji Wudao for the possession of the Old Heaven Court Relics.
“I don’t wish to battle you, Princess Donghuang, but the Old Heaven Court Relics belong only to me,” Ji Wudao said to Donghuang Diyuan. His demeanor was calm, but when it came to the Old Heaven Court Relics, he definitely was not going to give in.
Here was the Heaven Court, and it rightfully belonged to them.
Donghuang Diyuan made no reply. An impressive aura emanated from within her. It surrounded Donghuang Diyuan and gave rise to a dazzling picture. Behind her, right and left, was an impressive dragon and a fiery-red divine phoenix.
The dragon and divine phoenix both looked aged, as if they had been living for countless years and, as a result, contained the essence of life within them. They were the real deal.
A venerable aura suffused from within Donghuang Diyuan, the dragon, and the phoenix, causing the place to feel suffocating. Many of the cultivators’ hearts raced wildly as they stared at the figures of the dragon and phoenix behind Donghuang Diyuan.
“Ancestral Dragon.” This dragon contained the Will of the Dragon God and was the Emperor of Naga—the Lord of All Dragons.
Donghuang Imperial Palace of the Divine Prefecture got possession of the Naga Relics, and with it, Donghuang Diyuan inherited the Will of the Ancestral Dragon. The cultivators thought to themselves. That Dragon God was the Dragon Lord that ruled over Naga during ancient times. The Ancestral Dragon…
The scales covering the body of the Ancestral Dragon shimmered in seven colors of divine light. Its venerable and terrifying aura spoke of it as a victorious king.
As for the phoenix on the other side of Donghuang Diyuan, it was the Ancestral Phoenix.
Before entering the Relics, Donghuang Diyuan had already inherited the Will of the Ancestral Phoenix. In Donghuang the Great’s desire to train up his only daughter, he had bathed his daughter in the Ancestral Phoenix’s blood before. There was a divine seal carved inside her body.
She was one with the Ancestral Phoenix.
Now, she had gone to the Naga Relics and received the Will of the Ancestral Dragon also, thereby inheriting the soul of the Ancestral Dragon.
With both the Dragon and Phoenix combining with her, the aura she emitted was enough to scare people. With the Ancestral Dragon and Phoenix circling her, ordinary cultivators most likely would not have the courage to battle against her. In contrast, cultivators at the same level would feel suffocated just by her intimidating presence.
Despite that, there was not a shred of demonic aura within Donghuang Diyuan. On the contrary, a saintly divine light glowed instead, and lotus flowers bloomed from beneath her feet. In the glow of the divine light, Donghuang Diyuan looked ethereal and stunning.
“It is the Buddhist Power.”
Donghuang Diyuan and Donghuang the Great cultivated a wide range of skills and seemed to be jacks-of-all-trades. Despite receiving the Ancestral Dragon and Phoenix, the divine light coming from her was the Light of Buddha. Behind her was a shining ring; it was as if she was the Goddess Guanyin.
Different kinds of powers actually came together as one in her. They assimilated perfectly into her body and became hers.
“Donghuang Diyuan is approaching the demigod level,” Supreme Swordlevel muttered. “It has already taken shape. Just a bit more, and she will become near-deity. Her talent is amazing. I guess it’s expected of the daughter of Donghuang the Great.”
Ye Futian looked at Donghuang Diyuan on the other side. Unbelievable. Was she already approaching the demigod level?
If Donghuang Diyuan attained the demigod level, she probably would not be inferior to the seniors currently at the level.
Of course, being able to rank on the demigod level in the first place showed that the senior cultivators were not idlers. They were already pursuing a higher plane, and there were practically no weaklings. They were all forging their paths and ways.
Throughout all these happenings, however, Ji Wudao only watched quietly. He still had not emanated any aura and did not seem at all surprised by the events nor showed a shred of fear.
Many cultivators looked toward Ji Wudao, looking forward to finding out how strong this mysterious heir of the Heaven Realm was.
Crash! Donghuang Diyuan moved her will. At once, the shadowy figures of the Ancestral Dragon and Phoenix appeared in the skies. They were humongous and covered the entirety of the sky. Within this phenomenon, countless divine swords appeared, and every sword contained the Power of Divine Punishment.
“Tianxing [1] Divine Sword!”
Everyone knew that this was the mighty Tianxing Divine Sword, alluding to punishment from heaven and its domineering nature.
What was more, this Tianxing Divine Sword presently contained the powers of the Ancestral Dragon and Phoenix. Accordingly, the sword transformed into two different swords, one in the shape of a dragon and the other in the shape of a phoenix. They possessed terrifying powers and gave off scorching hot divine flames.
Bang!!! A terrifying sound preceded the opening of the heavens, and through that opening, immeasurable beams of divine light descended into divine swords.
“How come both of their powers are the same?!” The people felt surprised upon sensing the aura that was released. The sword that Ji Wudao was using seemed to be the Tianxing Divine Sword.
Very few people knew that both Ji Wudao and Donghuang Diyuan were well-versed with the Tianxing Divine Sword.
An even more terrifying aura was in the making, and two colors of divine light—a black and white one—as if symbolizing opposite types of powers, appeared above the sky.
“Black and White Almighty!”
The cultivators’ hearts raced when they saw this scene. That was the Way of the Almighty—the amalgamation of Black and White Almighty’s Divine Swords and the Tianxing Divine Sword. The Tianxing Divine Sword, above the sky, turned black and white.
White Almighty represented creation, and the divine swords above the sky were multiplying by the minute until they fully covered the entirety of the sky. Black Almighty Divine Sword represented destruction, and both of these extreme powers combined in an individual gave rise to an aura that sent tremors into the cultivators’ hearts.
Donghuang Diyuan fused the powers of the Ancestral Dragon and Phoenix into her Tianxing Divine Sword, while Ji Wudao fused the Way of the Almighty into his Tianxing Divine Sword. The Black Almighty Divine Sword belonging to Great Skylord Black Almighty was already frightening enough. If both he and Ji Wudao were on the same level, Ji Wudao’s divine sword might be even more frightening.
Both divine swords were taken out at the same time. The swords infused with the powers of the Ancestral Dragon and Phoenix and the Way of the Almighty clashed against each other, releasing a terrifying destructive storm that destroyed everything within its area. Yet, both stood immovable at their spot, as if such a destructive blow was just a warm-up to them.
Crash! Another Divine Sword appeared. It was the fusion of the dragon and the phoenix, and it directly broke open the Void and cut through the storm toward the opposite side, exerting its dominance. A black and white divine sword met it head-on, and the two swords’ destructive divine light broke out as they clashed.
“The attacking power of the Dragon-Phoenix Divine Sword is greater, but the infusion of the Way of the Black and White Almighty allows the divine sword to wield both destructive and creative powers, resulting in it having continuous powers. Even though it is only one sword, it contains the wills of many swords, allowing it to counter the attacks from the Dragon-Phoenix Sword.” Supreme Swordlord stared intently at the upper skies. Although the two currently in battle were his juniors, their attainments were unparalleled.
What was even scarier was that these were only one of the powers they had.
Both of them were already knocking on the door of the demigod level and could enter at any time.
Just then, Donghuang Diyuan took a few steps to the front toward the sky stairwell. Lotus flowers bloomed beneath her feet as she walked, and behind her, an image of the Goddess Guanyin appeared. It was enormous and reached the dome of the sky. Energy radiated from it.
At the back of the Goddess Guanyin were numerous arms.
The Thousand Arms Guanyin, the cultivators thought to themselves. Donghuang Diyuan seemed to be one with the Thousand Arms Guanyin. Her body was suspended in midair, and divine lotuses appeared at her feet. She stretched out a palm and aimed an attack at Ji Wudao. All at once, thousands of hands came out from the Goddess Guanyin and blasted out the Seal of Thousand Arms.
A loud and violent blast sounded out, and many dragon shadows appeared as the Seal moved toward its target, as if it were the Seal of a Dragon, and was domineering to the extreme. Many people were amazed. Donghuang Diyuan was a peerless beauty and had the appearance of a saint in battle, yet she was also extremely domineering. Not to mention her being a girl, how many people on earth could compare?
Tens of millions of Dragon Seals attacked in full force as if tens of millions of Divine Dragons were whistling by. It broke through the storm of Swords of Destruction and headed toward the figure standing on the sky stairwell.
Presently, Ji Wudao moved forward out of the sky stairwell and into the heavens. A beam of divine light descended, and immediately, a domain appeared around him. Within the domain appeared a strange vision of many ancient gods. They were the Divine Generals and Heavenly Army of the Heaven Court during ancient times.
At the same time, a Supreme Divine Shadow appeared behind Ji Wudao. It was utterly dazzling and as if the Heavenly Emperor had descended on to earth.
Ji Wudao raised his hand and blasted out a divine seal, which rapidly grew large enough to cover the sky and the area in front of him. Within this divine seal were numerous moving lines. They were stunning to look at and came together one by one to form an ancient character—the word for “emperor.”
“The Seal of the Heavenly Emperor!”
Many cultivators at the emperor-level were unsettled. Ji Wudao had cultivated the Seal of the Heavenly Emperor!
Many years ago, the Heavenly Emperor had released the Seal of the Heavenly Emperor to suppress all the divine powers in the world, and was the most powerful out of all the divine seals. Currently, Ji Wudao was using it, and although it probably would not reach the level of the Heavenly Emperor, one could still see it taking shape. The “emperor” character on the divine seal unleashed a dazzling brilliance that blinded everything else.
Bang! Bang! Bang! Numerous Seals of the Ancestral Dragon attacked the Seal of the Heavenly Emperor, only to break into pieces upon contact. The character of “emperor” remained in place, and the Seal was as good as ever.
Within the Void, Ji Wudao looked toward Donghuang Diyuan and said, “Princess Diyuan, I said before that I do not want to defeat you in battle. Please withdraw!”
[1] Tianxing means “punishment from heaven”
