The Legend of Futian Chapter 2789 - Break the Path

Chapter 2789 Break the Path
It was as if time had stopped. Countless eyes were trained on the dome of the sky, staring at the destructive divine light that flooded the sky.
It was especially so for the strong cultivators from the Ye Imperial Palace. It was as if they could not feel that gust of destructive power. They stared entranced. For them, it was as if everything in the world had stopped moving.
Bang! The muffled sound filled the world, causing this vast place to shake. This hit shattered the domain. They saw the Battle Form shatter and saw the divine light extinguish. Ye Futian’s figure disappeared.
It was over!
The five Great Emperors and strong cultivators of the Ancient God Clans all had a thought-it would be impossible for Ye Futian to still exist after such a hit. Everything below the Great Emperor level would cease to exist. But they continued to stare up at the sky. Would Ye Futian’s Power of Divine Ruler appear after he died?
Even as Ancient Gods, they still wanted that power.
The rain continued to fall. The raindrops from the heavens were abnormally sharp and yet contained very heavy emotions of depression. Many people from the Ye Imperial Palace were crying. Their tears fell with the rain. For many people of the Ye Imperial Palace, Ye Futian was family, a friend, a senior, and their belief.
Xi Chiyao had already broken through the defenses and arrived where Ye Futian had been, but she did not see Ye Futian’s figure. As the Goddess of the West Imperial Palace, even she was crying now too. A shocking aura flooded from her divine sword. It was swallowing her up, continuously changing her eyes.
Poof… There was suddenly a soft sound in the silent space. Somewhere high up in the sky, a figure appeared. It was Ye Futian’s figure.
His appearance gave a sliver of hope to countless people.
He did not die! Ye Futian had not fallen. He was still here!
He actually survived such a world-ending blow.
However, Ye Futian was in a fragile state right now. Divine light still flowed over his body, but he no longer had the aura of the Great Path. His entire being seemed weak and insubstantial as if he could disappear at any moment. However, the aura of life continued to envelop him. His vitality had not been extinguished.
Right now, Ye Futian had sunk into absolute weakness. All of the Paths in his body had been destroyed. The Great Path no longer existed.
At the same time, he had entered an extremely miraculous state. He seemed to have a much clearer perception of the world. Even though his Ways had been destroyed, in his perception, all the power in the world seemed to have been printed into his mind. This included the other party’s Divine Power.
What was the Path? The Way was the laws that the world operated under. When cultivators studied the power of the Path, they were using the rules of the world.
Then, what was Divine Power?
Was it separate from the world and a law in and of itself?
Perhaps that is so.
“Color is emptiness; emptiness is color.”
“There is no way in the world.”
Perhaps the ancients had already pointed out the path, but this path was not easy to step onto.
This path had stopped countless extraordinary figures.
All of this ran through Ye Futian’s mind, while it had only been an instant in the outside world. Heavenly Emperor Jiang and the others could not help but furrow their brows at seeing that Ye Futian was still alive.
They believed they’d already shown Ye Futian enough respect. The five Great Emperors had all come to kill Ye Futian. Even if Ye Futian died, it was still an honorable death, but until now, the person they thought could be killed easily, like an ant, was actually still alive.
It had been so long, but they still had not killed this ant. As Great Emperors, this was not very glorious.
This Ye Futian was honestly tenacious.
“He’s alive!” Xi Chiyao looked in Ye Futian’s direction, and she had the feeling of surviving from the cracks of danger. A bright smile appeared in her beautiful eyes as if the crisis had already passed.
However, the five Great Emperors were still there. Ye Futian had only withstood one attack without dying.
Plus, she could also feel that Ye Futian had entered the Mystery Plane.
Boom! Her long hair danced wildly, and the falling raindrops intensified. They continued hammering down from the sky. A Great Emperor’s aura radiated from Xi Chiyao. Ye Futian’s figure disappeared in the curtain of rain.
Xi Chiyao looked towards Ye Futian. There were tears in her eyes, but she was still smiling. She was reluctant, but she also felt closure as if looking at him for the last time.
Then she closed her eyes, and her entire body became one with the divine sword. When her eyes opened again, they were different. They held some arrogance as if she was looking down at the world.
Heavenly Emperor Jiang and the others all felt the changes in Xi Chiyao’s aura and temperament simultaneously. They knew that this Xi Chiyao was not the same Xi Chiyao as before.
The founder of the West Imperial Palace—the West Emperor—had returned too.
“This idiot,” Xi Chiyao uttered, but it was unknown who she was talking about.
The raindrops formed a domain that shrouded this land. There was only unstopping rain within the sheets of rain. There was no Ye Futian.
Every drop of rain seemed to be formed by Divine Power.
A curtain of light appeared around Heavenly Emperor Jiang and the Vajra Realm Great Emperor. It covered their bodies, but as the rain kept falling, there were actually dents in the light. Then some places were penetrated.
Rain could erode rock through time. These raindrops could penetrate the defenses created by Vajra Realm Divine Power.
“West Emperor,” Heavenly Emperor Jiang said, raising his head to look at Xi Chiyao. “Since you are also a returned man, why must we be enemies? We are all from the Ancient God Clans of the Divine Prefecture. Our heritages carry the countless years, and we awoke to return. You should not interfere with today’s matters.”
“This girl is extremely compatible with me,” Xi Chiyao said. It was clear that she was no longer herself. “I already discovered this years ago. I was unwilling to return in this way and instead wanted to wait for her to grow stronger. However, she actually chose to use this way to help me today. Then, I naturally have to complete her last wish.”
“But can you really do it?” Heavenly King Jiang said. Clearly, he did not think the West Emperor could stop them just by returning. After all, it was one against five.
“It should not take too long.” The West Emperor could feel that Ye Futian was completely immersed in his world, entering the Mystery Plane. He could also feel the raindrops filling the air. The rain dripped down from his body. Every drop contained extremely pure Divine Power.
“My Force of the Great Path has been destroyed. My comprehension of the world seems to have become clearer.” This was a thought that appeared in Ye Futian’s mind.
“There is no way in the world.”
“Color is emptiness; emptiness is color.” These two voices kept echoing in Ye Futian’s mind. He also thought of how when he’d been studying in the Buddhist clan, the Buddha had said that the Lord of All Buddhas had gone to the Colorless Heaven to cultivate.
“Akāśānantyāyatana, Vijñānānantyāyatana!” The first sky of the Colorless Heaven-to resonate with the boundless skies. The second sky—to make your heart boundless.
Nothingness!
The cultivators all pursued to have, but the supreme discipline of Buddhism was to pursue nothingness.
“Since the Great Path is blocked, then break the Path!” This thought appeared in Ye Futian’s mind. Then a tribulation descended, penetrating his body, cutting his Way. Boom… Pain appeared on Ye Futian’s face. He had cultivated various Ways. Even though Heavenly Emperor Jiang had destroyed the Paths with one blow, there were still remaining Wills of the Path.
But now, Ye Futian wanted to break his Path.
The cultivators of the world all pursued the extremes of the Path, wanting more powerful Force of the Great Path. But right now, Ye Futian wished to break his own Path!
