"This…"

What they saw in front of them horrified these cultivators. Great shocks were written all over their faces. Could she be this powerful?

​​

That was the Vajra Divine Child. Even with attacks fueled by the Vajra divine power, he could not get closer to his opponent. At the same time, the Vajra Divine Child was injured badly and was now vomiting blood.

Before this, even Ye Futian had not been able to achieve this result. It took a great battle for him to drive back the Vajra Divine Child in defeat.

Even though Hua Jieyu was a Renhuang of the Ninth-Realm, the combat effectiveness of the Vajra Divine Child should be more than sufficient to deal with someone in the general vicinity of the Ninth-Realm. Even if she was a genius cultivator of the Ninth-Realm, he should not be defeated to this extent.

It was obvious that Hua Jieyu's strength was extremely powerful.

"Attack of the Spiritual Soul." All the attention was now fixed on that peerless goddess. She was surrounded by divine light, like the Jiutian Goddess who had made her presence known in the mortal world. With just a thought, she had severely injured the Vajra Divine Child, and no one knew how much of her strength had powered that attack.

"There is a will of the emperor." Looking at that beautiful woman and sensing the divine light flowing about her, as well as her aura of the Great Path, many felt a hint of divine power. It was the will of the emperor. On Hua Jieyu's person, there was also some will of the emperor that could be detected; it was the same as those cultivators from the Ancient God Clan. She might have the inheritance of the Great Emperor in her possession.

Those cultivators from the Divine Prefecture who had survived the Divine Tribulation of the Great Path couldn't be more surprised. This woman, who had appeared out of nowhere, had exhibited such impressive fighting powers. Furthermore, her divine power was so strong that she was actually not any lesser than Xi Chiyao, the Goddess of West Imperial Palace, who had previously fought in a friendly exchange with Ye Futian.

It was important to note that Xi Chiyao was the most talented person from the West Imperial Palace in the past thousand years; she was most in sync with the inheritance of the West Emperor. She was in control of the Eyes of the West Emperor, which demonstrated the power she had inherited. However, Hua Jieyu's aura was no lesser than Xi Chiyao, which could only indicate that she had also synced perfectly to the inheritance of a Great Emperor.

"It appears that she has gotten a wonderful opportunity in the land of Divine Prefecture," someone whispered in the direction of the Heavenly Mandate Academy. Hua Jieyu had defeated the Brahma's Pure Sky Empress and turned her thousands of incarnations into one, all of them unified inside her physical body. The Hua Jieyu they had seen years ago was already one with the Brahma's Pure Sky Empress and all of her other incarnations. They didn't expect that after she departed for Divine Prefecture, she would have the chance to obtain imperial-level inheritance; this was truly fortuitous.

Ye Futian and Hua Jieyu appeared to be cultivators with great fortunes, and such fortunate cultivators were an extreme rarity.

However, Hua Jieyu didn't care about anyone else's gaze at this moment. After she repelled the Vajra Divine Child, she continued her way towards Ye Futian. Her eyes were still so gentle. Ye Futian, on the other hand, didn't care much about Hua Jieyu's current strength. None of that mattered. What was important was that she was back, in the truest sense of the word.

Beneath the lingering divine light, Hua Jieyu walked into the crowd. At this moment, no one rushed in to stop her. Obviously, the strength she had just displayed was somewhat astounding. Her ability to repel the Vajra Divine Child with just a thought meant that her combat effectiveness was not any lesser than those Renhuang in the Ninth-Realm from the Ancient God Clan. It would not be easy to stop her.

Those few moments seemed like an eternity. It was as if after a long, long time, the two of them finally walked back onto the same path.

Ye Futian looked at the face that was so close to him. It was so familiar, and his smile became even brighter. Hua Jieyu was just the same. It was as if all the beauty of the world was alive in her smile. The two of them held hands. There was too much they wanted to say to each other, yet not a word was uttered.

Ye Futian reached out with his hand and stroked her cheek. All of this was like a dream.

It must have been rough for her in Divine Prefecture all these years.

However, the cultivators from the Divine Prefecture didn't seem to want to allow this beautiful scene to continue. Tyrannical auras suddenly descended, falling on the two of them, breaking that peaceful silence.

"We didn't expect Emperor Ye's Path Companion to be so outstanding. Since that's the case, let us see for ourselves what that's like," said a voice. The person who had spoken was the Boundless Divine Child. When his voice fell, those countless divine swords once again slammed down from the void, heading straight for Ye Futian and Hua Jieyu.

Hua Jieyu and Ye Futian were still staring at each other, not their heads.

Buzz! On Hua Jieyu, an astounding divine light suddenly burst out, sweeping through all the surrounding space. Her long black hair flew in the wind, and in an instant, an amazing divine consciousness shrouded the boundless space. The entire spatial world was shrouded by an extraordinary telekinetic power.

Those billions of divine swords that came down suddenly slowed down, and there was a hint that they were about to stop. It was as everything in this space threatened to stop dead in their tracks.

When all the cultivators saw this, there was a slight trembling in their hearts. The Boundless Divine Child was also a Renhuang of the Ninth-Realm. Could his offensive power be so easily stymied?

However, his expression remained unchanged. He scanned the area in front of him, raising his hand, then quickly pushed his hand down. Suddenly, infinite divine swords whistled and howled, overwhelming that corner of the sky.

Hua Jieyu frowned slightly. She turned her head, and a touch of coldness flashed through her eyes. At this moment, she seemed different than how she was before.

The divine light lingered as her mind connected with heaven and earth. Her eyes swept towards the billions of divine swords that covered the sky and the sun. In an instant, this space seemed to stand still as those endless divine swords clamored, wanting to come in for the kill, but they couldn't move an inch. That oppressive force blocked the momentum of the divine swords, making this space even more suppressed.

Donk! Boundless Divine Child stepped forward. At the same time, the other cultivators from Ancient God Clan who were around him took action as well. Supreme and awesome divine power of the Great Path spread out from them, suppressing the two people in the center of it all with total aggression.

Even if she was a peak figure in the Ninth-Realm, what could she do? She still couldn't stop their attack on Ye Futian.

However, at this time, above the firmament, there was a terrifying aura that came emerged. The top figures from the Divine Prefecture were the first to act. They frowned and glanced above when they felt the presence of a frightening storm.

"Someone else is here?!" They all felt a strange feeling now. Then, a terrifying aura fell from the sky, and there was a shocking demonic might that tossed and roared. Everyone looked up into the sky and saw that a mighty procession had come into their view.

"People from the Devil World?" The cultivators from Divine Prefecture scanned the area high above the sky, wondering if the cultivators from the Devil World had come to meddle in these affairs as well.

However, when the group descended, they realized that it didn't seem to be the same group from the Devil World as before but was instead another group of people. It seemed that they were other cultivators from the Devil World.

Furthermore, the person in the lead was not the Devil Emperor's direct disciple, Xiao Mu, nor was he the Demon Sage from the Devil World. He was another young man, strapping and substantial. He was draped in a black Demonic Armor, and he was completely pitch black in appearance with a head of long black hair that fell upon his shoulders. A sense of immense dominance exuded from his entire body.

This cultivator also appeared to be quite young, so who could this be?

The cultivators from the Heavenly Mandate Academy showed a look of disbelief when they saw this young man. Did they all make a pact to come back together on this day?
