The Legend of Futian

Ye Futian was straight-backed as he looked at Donghuang Diyuan, bathing in divine glory like the imperial ruler of the world.

Both of them had the wills of the great emperors on them, and it was more than the inheritance of just one great emperor. Because he was facing was Donghuang Diyuan, Ye Futian did not have any advantage.

Donghuang Diyuan was right when she said that the resources he had fought for with his life were things Donghuang Diyuan was entitled to by birth. However, in those trials between life and death, the willpower that he had forged was not something that Donghuang Diyuan could claim to possess.

Buzz! The streamer of swordsmanship circled him, and his whole body was radiant. All the will in his body seemed to have turned into swordsmanship, flowing upon the divine body. An extremely sharp aura bloomed as if there was nothing in the world that it could not break.

"Boundless!"

With a thought, Ye Futian disappeared directly. At this moment, Donghuang Diyuan also released an equally unparalleled divine glory. Her divine body seemed to be engraved with divine marks within, as well as the marks of the Great Path; the terrifying divine light circulated on the surface of that invincible body of the phoenix. Her palms slammed forward, and the countless marks of the Great Path gathered to form the Tianxing Divine Sword, which bloomed with the divine body of the ancestral phoenix and blasted forward.

The divine light bloomed, accompanied by a loud bang, sweeping across the vast space. The dark clouds of tribulation shook the sky and were pierced by the divine glory of the sword qi. However, Ye Futian had disappeared right after that blow of attack, and he was completely invisible.

At this time, Donghuang Diyuan closed her eyes as her will enveloped the boundless space. She raised her hand once again to strike out to the left; her speed was incredible. When she raised her hand and attacked, an incomparable divine light of swordsmanship descended, and it was yet another extremely violent collision.

There was only a collision, and no one was seen except for that divine light of destruction. There were no signs of Ye Futian.

The Buddha's Celerity was invisible, untraceable, and unpredictable.

In the area below, all the cultivators inside the Devil Imperial Palace were looking up at the shocking battle in the firmament. This battle was a rare sight even for the cultivators in the Devil Imperial Palace.

Even the Earth Demon Sage—one of the three great Demon Sages—was looking rather grave at the moment. His attention had been focused on the battlefield, and he could not catch the slightest glimpse of Ye Futian, but apparently, Donghuang Diyuan did. He thought if he was in Donghuang Diyuan's position, could he be as invincible as she under such violent attacks?

This was probably a little difficult. These two were no weaker than him, but he was one of the three great Demon Sages in the Devil World.

Ye Futian's attacks were getting faster and faster, and all the Earth Demon Sage could see were just rays of light and a storm of destruction that was making the sky tremble. The clouds of tribulation were dancing wildly, and in just a short moment, Ye Futian had launched an unknown number of attacks. They were like countless bolts of lightning that struck one after the other.

But the scary thing was that Donghuang Diyuan was able to withstand them all.

Another violent sound of collision was heard. Then, the divine light was shining as Ye Futian's figure reappeared. He stood in front of Donghuang Diyuan.

"How did you do it?" Ye Futian asked Donghuang Diyuan.

Donghuang Diyuan had detected his Buddha's Celerity, and there was nowhere for him to hide. All his attacks were being blocked.

Donghuang Diyuan opened her eyes and looked at Ye Futian. "Hundreds of years ago, long before you went to the Western Heaven of Buddhism, someone in the Divine Prefecture had already gone to the Spirit Mountain. You are not the only one who is an expert in the ways of Buddhism."

When those words were spoken, the Light of Buddha lingered all around her, and she was akin to a female Buddha. Her entire body was radiant and sacred.

"Donghuang the Great!" Of course, Ye Futian knew who Donghuang Diyuan was referring to. While he was cultivating in Spirit Mountain, he had heard that Donghuang the Great was already proficient in Buddhism before he even entered the Western Heaven of Buddhism. Therefore, he was able to defeat all the Buddhas at the battle in Spirit Mountain.

The Buddhas at Spirit Mountain had told him that had Donghuang the Great focused on cultivating Buddhism, and he would have been a mighty Buddha that was not possible to find in a thousand years.

Like him, Donghuang the Great was well-versed in all things.

So, was it another kind of superpower?

Those who could recognize Buddha's Celerity possessed extremely advanced Buddhist techniques. Donghuang the Great once had cultivated one of the six superpowers himself. It might have been another of the six Buddhist superpowers. Of course, it may also be some other Buddhist techniques that required a great sense of comprehension. After all, Donghuang Diyuan had been standing there without moving, and she might be sensing and predicting where the attack would come from. Methods of Buddhism were infinite and curious, and it was not impossible that such an ability existed.

When he saw the Light of Buddha blooming from Donghuang Diyuan, Ye Futian clasped his hands together. Suddenly, his whole body burned bright with the Light of Buddha. It seemed that Donghuang Diyuan intended to see all of his various abilities. In that case, he, too, would like to see just how strong Donghuang Diyuan was in these various fields.

As the Light of Buddha covered the sky, and auspicious clouds shrouded the space. The pitch-black clouds of tribulation were dispelled. Between heaven and earth, gigantic figures of Buddha appeared. At the same time, a massive shadow of Buddha appeared above the firmament formed by the Light of Buddha.

Like him, Donghuang Diyuan had clasped her hands together as well. A look of holiness and peace replaced the previous look of dominant arrogance and cold indifference. There was a little more tranquility about her as her body was surrounded by many massive golden lotus flowers. She trod lightly into the void, and with every step she took, a lotus flower appeared. This was a very profound vision of Buddhist methods known as Lotus in Every Step.

At the same time, high above the sky, a massive phantom of Guanyin Buddha appeared, vying with the giant Buddha summoned by Ye Futian.

A terrifying aura of attack came into being, and the Light of Buddha on Ye Futian soared into the sky. The Buddhas in heaven blasted the seal of Mahavairocana simultaneously, launching their attacks downward to destroy everything as they fired towards Donghuang Diyuan.

The Guanyin Buddha behind Donghuang Diyuan had a thousand arms, and all of them made the gesture of the seal of Buddha. Immediately, a sacred Buddhist divine sword appeared in each of those thousand hands, blasting at the seal of Mahavairocana.

This was the divine sword of cleansing, which collided with the seal blasting down, and a sacred Light of Buddha erupted. Soon after, it was purified as it dissipated and disappeared into nothing.

Ye Futian did not stop, and the Buddhas in all the heavens continued to resonate. Above the firmament, that gigantic and massive ancient Buddha had condensed into a tangible existence. The Light of Buddha illuminated the space as the Six Syllables of Truth continued to pour out of Ye Futian's mouth, and the power of Buddhism began to increase by leaps and bounds.

The power of all the Buddhas in the sky converged upon the ancient Buddha, and a mighty Buddha's prestige rained down. The massive ancient Buddha stretched out his arm and pressed down his hand to oppress the space below. The Light of Buddha filled the heavens, and it was a golden Buddha's handprint. Endless Buddhist seals in the Symbol of Wan were engraved on that massive and boundless handprint. Suddenly. The gigantic and incomparable Buddhist seal turned into a giant Symbol of Wan.

Donghuang Diyuan and Ye Futian had similar reactions. Numerous Buddhist lotuses grew upward, reaching into the sky. Among those lotus flowers, a most brilliant Buddhist glory was released, gathered upon the statue of Guanyin. Thousands of hands were making the signs of the seals simultaneously, converging into the divine sword of cleansing.

At this time, the right arm of the Guanyin Buddha stretched out, the thumb and forefinger in a circle while the other three fingers pointed to the sky. The divine sword of cleansing gathered, as the Light of Buddha shining in the sky, colliding with the Symbol of Wan. A horrific Light of Buddha swept through the space as the clouds of tribulation above the firmament were cleared away and turned into clouds of sacred auspice, giving out an incredible glow.

The two attacks seemed to stand still for a while, then collapsed and pulverized at the same time. The horrific storm repelled Ye Futian as well as Donghuang Diyuan, and even the Light of Buddha was forcibly dispersed by its power.

The Devil Emperor above the Demon God Palace watched this battle with demonic light shining in his eyes.. This was indeed a fateful duel. The descendants nurtured by Donghuang the Great were this outstanding!
