Likewise, Xi Chiyao also became aware of the threat posed by Ye Futian. His body of the Great Path was extremely overpowering, almost like a divine entity. If Ye Futian were to get any closer, it would be very dangerous for her.

The Eyes of the West Emperor was considered part of the Eye Sorcery Zone. At a glance, Ye Futian was completely submerged in the Eye Sorcery Zone. The rain was like silky threads, and these Raindrop Divine Swords transformed into endless rays of light. They all fell upon Ye Futian, and every raindrop contained invincible power. In addition, the rain had now transformed into threads, threatening to destroy everything in their path.

​​

The sword lights formed by the convergence of raindrops seemed to contain a power that could immolate spiritual souls. In this space, Ye Futian felt as if he was mired in a swamp; it was an extremely uncomfortable feeling.

Buzz! More brilliant divine light bloomed as a peacock divine shadow appeared behind Ye Futian. Then phantoms upon phantoms manifested out of the ether, and Ye Futian seemed to be omnipresent at this moment.

Faintly, there was a rhythm of roaring sound, and it was the Vajra Demon-slaying Rhythm that shattered all things. At the same time, many phantoms of Ye Futian pointed toward the sky above simultaneously. Suddenly, many divine swords unleashed and carried with them an incredibly sharp aura of pure murder.

The sword lights that were converged by the raindrops were pierced through and through. But at the same time, many elusive phantoms of Ye Futian had also disappeared. Only one figure broke through everything while continuing its upward momentum. Soon, it appeared to reach the end of this Great Path field.

At this instant, in that space of the Eye Sorcery, a figure surrounded by divine light appeared. It was as if the spirit soul of Xi Chiyao herself had separated from her body and entered directly into the realm of West Emperor's Eyes. Furthermore, behind her beautiful figure, an extremely sacred imperial shadow appeared. It was as if the West Emperor had reincarnated, descending into this field of Eye Sorcery.

At this moment, Ye Futian felt that the rain had invaded his mind, and every raindrop pricked his will painfully.

More than that, the strength of this conception seemed to have exceeded Ye Futian's experience. In his mind, body, and even the world of his Life Palace, it was full of raindrops. This was the world of the all-encompassing rain for as long as he was in this field and under this conception.

Ye Futian saw Xi Chiyao, who was above him, pointing at him. Ye Futian felt as if he was standing in the rain with nowhere to hide. At this moment, Xi Chiyao was no longer just a descendant of the Great Emperor. She was surrounded by divine light. It was as if she was an empress in her own right. And the one who unleashed these attacks was no longer her either, but the Great Emperor himself.

This was clearly an illusion, but it felt so incredibly real. The cultivators in the West Imperial Palace considered Xi Chiyao as the premier heir, and as expected, she was stronger than imagined. It was possible that she may have already integrated the inheritance power from the West Emperor. After all, she was a descendant of the West Emperor himself and the most powerful blood awakener, so it was not surprising that she could perfectly combine her ancestors' inheritance.

Under such conception, the body and the spiritual soul, and even the Life Palace of Ye Futian were under simultaneous attacks; he felt that could really be destroyed at any moment. He, who had created this divine body of the Great Path, thought that it was an indestructible body. But the sense of danger was so real that he might have been killed just by this illusion alone.

Boom... Ye Futian's Life Palace was also howling as a peculiar aura was released from his body. From the world of the Life Palace, divine light suddenly gushed out, drowning the will of the raindrops completely.

When the Life Spirit of the Life Palace released all its divine might, the divine light on Ye Futian's body became even more dazzling. In a single turning of the mind, an area of ​​the Great Path now centered around him, shrouding the vast surrounding area as if swallowing up that world full of raindrops.

Therefore, within the Great Path realm that belonged to the Eyes of the West Emperor, another Great Path realm was now competing for sovereignty.

When she perceived this power, Xi Chiyao's eyes released an incomparable radiance. She stared at Ye Futian and thought that, just as she had guessed, Ye Futian must have had an amazing heritage. Who exactly was he?

But there was no time to think at this time. Her delicate hands pointed down, resembling a gesture from the West Emperor. At the same time, Ye Futian also pointed to the heavens. Two lights appeared in the area of ​​the Great Path, and when the two lights intertwined, a most mighty force erupted.

Shocking light lit up the space. In the next moment, they both retreated simultaneously as everything seemed to evaporate in an instant.

The rain was still falling softly upon Ye Futian. That white-haired figure just stood there, so quietly, as he looked up at Xi Chiyao, who was standing above the rain.

This princess of the West Imperial Palace was indeed stronger than Xiao Mu—the direct disciple of the Devil Emperor.

Little did he know that Xi Chiyao, the princess of West Imperial Palace, was equally shocked and disturbed. Although she had no time to carefully discerning the ability that Ye Futian released just now, she knew that was the true testament of Ye Futian's ability. His true Divine Wheel of the Great Path.

It was a pity that it was just for a moment. But in that brief moment's time, Xi Chiyao seemed to have perceived something.

Suddenly, the rain stopped, and there was no more rainfall in this entire world. Everything seemed to exist only in Xi Chiyao's thoughts. The cultivators below looked up into the sky, wondering who had won this battle.

It seemed that they had not seen any definitive results yet.

The cultivators from West Imperial Palace were a bit confused. Like the others, they did not see everything clearly before Xi Chiyao had already withdrawn her strength. It was clear that she did not intend to continue the fight.

What had just happened beneath the Eyes of the West Emperor?

Did the Eyes of the West Emperor unable to inflict serious damage on Ye Futian?

At this time, the white-haired figure standing in the void did not appear to be injured. His breath was calm, and he was unharmed.

In the West Sea Domain, no one could battle Xi Chiyao, and there was no need for Xi Chiyao to use all of her strength. The Eyes of the West Emperor was enough to crush some of the topmost enchanting geniuses in the West Imperial Palace.

However, did that number one genius talent in the Original Realm actually hold off the attack of the Eyes of the West Emperor?

And remember, his realm was lower than that of Xi Chiyao.

From this perspective, perhaps Ye Futian's performance was even more impressive in this battle.

What kind of existence was this that even Xi Chiyao was not able to defeat him?

Those top forces from Divine Prefecture were equally shaken to their core. Hua Junlai of the Haotian Clan was defeated once at the hands of Ye Futian, but now even Xi Chiyao was unable to gain victory. Who was this Ye Futian? What kind of secrets was he harboring? In their investigations on Ye Futian, the most important detail was always missing: his birthplace. This one missing link seemed to suggest that something had been deliberately hidden.

At this moment, above the firmament, Xi Chiyao actually gave the most alluring smile as she looked down at Ye Futian below. She said, "Emperor Ye's reputation is well-deserved. In the battle today, Chiyao was not up to the challenge. In this case, I would like to cultivate with Emperor Ye in the Heavenly Mandate Academy."

Xi Chiyao's words stunned the cultivators of West Imperial Palace; what had just happened in this battle?

Xi Chiyao had agreed to cultivate with Ye Futian in the Heavenly Mandate Academy?

The princess of West Imperial Palace, the reigning heir and the descendant of West Emperor, was to cultivate in Heavenly Mandate Academy?

What was this all about?

"Chiyao, don't be hasty," an elder from the West Imperial Palace cautioned Xi Chiyao via voice transmission. He seemed to worry that Xi Chiyao made this decision in the heat of the moment.

"I have my reasons," Xi Chiyao responded with voice transmission as well, which silenced the cultivators from the West Imperial Palace. There was no doubt about Xi Chiyao's status within West Imperial Palace. Since she had made the decision, she must be quite serious, and no one could dissuade her.

Ye Futian's surprise was no lesser than the others, and he didn't really understand it. He looked up at the figure in the sky. Was Xi Chiyao serious about following him in cultivation at the Heavenly Mandate Academy?

"Is Goddess Chiyao serious?" asked Ye Futian.

But Xi Chiyao walked towards the area below and came to Ye Futian's side. She then continued moving downward, preparing to return to the dry land below. As Ye Futian accompanied her, Xi Chiyao glanced back and smiled, "I said before that I wanted to see Emperor Ye's methods. Now that I have seen them in this battle, I am quite impressed. From now on, I wish to cultivate in Heavenly Mandate Academy, and I hope Emperor Ye will not deny me this opportunity."

They had already returned to the grounds of the Heavenly Mandate Academy below. Everyone in the Heavenly Mandate Academy was most surprised by this. Was Xi Chiyao serious about staying and cultivating?

Did this mean that Ye Futian would also be cultivating at the West Imperial Palace?

The Goddess of West Imperial Palace was a little too enigmatic.

However, her strength was truly tyrannical. Before this, the cultivators from Heavenly Mandate Academy had never seen anyone who could battle Ye Futian to such a degree—not even the direct disciple of the Devil Emperor himself. Xi Chiyao's combat effectiveness had indeed surpassed any challengers so far.

But from this perspective, the cultivators from Heavenly Mandate Academy admired her quite a bit. Such a woman, no doubt, would achieve extraordinary feats in the future.

At this moment, there were several tyrannical auras that came from a distance. Suddenly, just as the cultivators of the Heavenly Mandate Academy raised their heads to look afar, groups of cultivators had traversed through the void and entered the bounds of the Heavenly Mandate Academy.

These powerful cultivators were all from top principalities in the Divine Prefecture, and several of them belonged to Ancient God Clan. With such a powerful background, the Heavenly Mandate Academy cultivators were unable to intercept them and could only allow them entry into the academy.

"Goddess Chiyao of the West Imperial Palace wanted to cultivate in the Heavenly Mandate Academy?" someone asked. Obviously, these cultivators had heard the conversation between Xi Chiyao and Ye Futian, and they had all observed the battle that had just taken place.

Why would Xi Chiyao choose to cultivate inside the Heavenly Mandate Academy? Unless Xi Chiyao had detected something during their battle...

Like the West Imperial Palace, they had checked into Ye Futian's past and thought that anything unusual about Ye Futian must be because of some unearthed secrets.

They were thinking that perhaps Xi Chiyao wanted to go to the Heavenly Mandate Academy as a way of winning Ye Futian over.

"Why, do you have something you want to say?" Xi Chiyao responded nonchalantly, looking at the man who spoke.

"Goddess Chiyao wanting to cultivate at the Heavenly Mandate Academy has nothing to do with us. So how could we dare to have an opinion?" the man asked with a smile. "We are just curious, that's all. Emperor Ye is talented, but even Goddess Chiyao—the descendant of the West Emperor—was much impressed by him. We thought that it must be because he has some extraordinary heritage!"
