The Legend of Futian Chapter 2891

Chapter 2891: Divine Emperor of Yore
“Your Majesty!”
Several figures flickered and appeared in front of Donghuang the Great.
“You guys stay here; I’ll go out and take a look,” said Donghuang the Great. As soon as he took a step forward, he disappeared from the Heavenly Palace. Then, he came outside of the ninety-nine heavens.
Nine Great Emperors had appeared in the sky above Heavenly Imperial City, and they were scattered in various positions.
When Donghuang the Great appeared, his eyes fell directly on the Great Emperor, who was at the very top in the sky.
This Great Emperor was brilliant all over, and the silver cloak on his body was like heavenly armor. He had a sharp sensation all about him, and his eyes had an icy metal feel to them.
He was the head of these nine Great Emperors.
More importantly, a primordial aura pervaded from them as if they were from ancient times.
“Ancient emperors.” Donghuang the Great realized who they were with an accessing look at the nine figures. “You are the Great Emperors from before the collapse of the Heavenly Path.”
No one responded. Above the firmament, an extremely sharp divine light came from the Great Emperor clad in the silver cloak. The sharpness in those rays of divine light was enough to tear apart the void and obliterate those around them.
Revelation Divine Power surged around Donghuang the Great. When the sharp divine light descended, it was blocked by the Revelation Divine Power.
“I had heard that in the times before the collapse of the Heavenly Path, in the fight against the heavens, many extraordinary Great Emperors were involved. Among them was Shenjia the Great Emperor, who was physically invincible. Yet there was rumored to be one other besides him—extraordinary and unparalleled in the world—known as the Divine Emperor Pojun. In ancient times, he had used his body of flesh and blood to rip apart the gods of the House Karura. His attack prowess was undeniable,” Donghuang the Great said as he looked at that Great Emperor.
Once upon a time, there were some ancient volumes kept in the Heavenly Palace, which recorded stories and characters in the times before the collapse of the Heavenly Path.
Among them, there were tales about Divine Emperor Pojun.
Any Great Emperor had to be extraordinarily talented to use the title of Divine Emperor. He had to be someone with a remarkable ward record, having killed many other existences who were also Great Emperors.
“I didn’t expect that after such a long time that there would be people who still remember me,” Divine Emperor Pojun said with a sigh, but his eyes were still sharp. He looked at Donghuang the Great and said, “However, I’m still going to kill you today.”
“When the Heavenly Path collapsed, it was known as the End of the Gods. The Heavenly Path brought down apocalyptic catastrophes so that cultivators in the Imperial Realm could not continue to survive in this world. Nonetheless, there were still many Great Emperors who managed to exist in another form and did not disappear entirely,” Donghuang the Great said in a low voice. The people in the Heavenly Imperial City knew some of what he said, which had also been confirmed over the years. Indeed, there were many extraordinary Great Emperors who remained in the world, existing in other ways without completely disappearing.
“The Human Ancestor is the oldest Great Emperor who survived in the era after the collapse of the Heavenly Path. I heard that in the past countless years after the collapse of the Heavenly Path, he has been searching for traces of the existence of the gods. As the only Great Emperor who had survived the catastrophe back then, the Human ancestor has found many ancient emperors.” Donghuang the Great continued, “You are all elders from the ancient times; you must be those who the Human Ancestor found in the past countless years, and he has found a way to bring you back.”
The words of Donghuang the Great shocked everyone, and the hearts of everyone in Heavenly Imperial City were palpitating.
They had a feeling that Donghuang the Great was correct in what he said, simply because it all made sense.
The Human Ancestor was the most ancient of the Great Emperors; he was an existence that had survived in the era after the collapse of the Heavenly Path, hence his title as the “Human Ancestor.” How could he not have looked for those ancient emperors and any traces of them all these years?
After the collapse of the Heavenly Path, when the gods of that era fell, how many treasures of heaven and earth were left behind? And how many otherworldly figures existed in other forms?
It was impossible for the Human Ancestor to let them all go.
No matter how one looked at it, the Human Ancestor might be the strongest existence in the world right now, but his strength was actually on a par with the other six Great Emperors, which was indeed a bit strange.
Donghuang the Great did not want to say this just for the world to hear, but more importantly, it was meant for the other Great Emperors among the six Great Emperors. He had reminded them that the Human Ancestor was not a simple character but someone with hidden depth. Whatever everyone saw before was all an illusion; it was whatever the Human Ancestor wanted the world to see.
The Human Ancestor had great ambition, which meant to plot against the Heavenly Path.
Now, at the dawn of the Age of the Gods, many Great Emperors had returned, and the Human Ancestor seemed to have completed a very crucial step. He was actively resuscitating those ancient emperors and making their returns possible.
Hence, the Great Emperor who appeared at Ye Imperial Palace, the Great Emperor who fought against Ji Wudao, and the Great Emperors who appeared here at this moment.
However, judging the situation at hand, Divine Emperor Pojun had to be the most powerful emperor among those who had returned. There was no way of knowing if the Human Ancestor had other extraordinary Great Emperors who might return one day.
Of course, the Human Ancestor from before was also not the same Human Ancestor they were seeing now.
As for what was really going on behind the scenes, Donghuang the Great couldn’t completely figure it out, so he could only speculate.
This news was definitely an earth-shaking secret to the cultivators in the world—that the Human Ancestor had been collecting the legacy of the gods since the collapse of the Heavenly Path. Also, he had now discovered ways for them to return and fight for him!
If so, who else in this world could stop the Human Ancestor?
The unification of the world was all but a foregone conclusion. Who else could stop it?
If what Donghuang the Great said was true, then the key would be how many Great Emperors did the Human Ancestor have under his control, and whether he could make all of them return eventually!
Divine Emperor Pojun did not make a response to Donghuang the Great. Nonetheless, Donghuang the Great’s estimation was very accurate.
“In today’s world, what is the strength of the Great Emperors who stand at the pinnacle of the cultivation world?” Divine Emperor Pojun asked. When his voice fell, the sky behind him burst into an unparalleled divine glory that seemed to have turned into a divine matrix, inside of which were infinite divine arms.
At the same time, the other eight Great Emperors also released their utmost divine power. Above the firmament, they were enveloped by an unparalleled divine power. The hearts of the cultivators in the Heavenly Imperial Palace were beating wildly, and those whose cultivation was weaker dared not approach. They were staying as far away from the battlefield as possible.
The Divine Power of Revelation exploded from Donghuang the Great, covering the boundless space. He looked up into the heavens, and astounding fighting will surged from his eyes. His robe fluttered and accentuated his undeniable magnificence.
What if he was facing the ancient divine emperor? Donghuang the Gret himself was the pinnacle existence of the world, ruling all of the Divine Prefecture. Just as Ye Futian said before, this era did not belong to those from the past.
“Today, I am looking forward to experience the power of the ancient divine emperor first hand. We may fight,” Donghuang the Great declared loudly, his voice resounding throughout the heavens. At the same time, when his voice faded, the Revelation Divine Realm was also released to its limit. For a time—except for Divine Emperor Pojun—the other eight Great Emperors felt as if they had been suppressed to the extreme by that divine power. It was difficult for them to move.
“What kind of divine power is this?” He asked Donghuang the Great. Clearly, Divine Emperor Pojun also sensed the extraordinary force behind the Divine Power of Revelation.
“Divine power—Revelation!” replied Donghuang the Great. When he created the Divine Power of Revelation, it was comprehended together. The Divine Power of Revelation could reach the height of cultivation, and it was a supreme kind of divine power!
