Chapter 2648: Return From Despair

The Ziwei Segmentum was once again enveloped by starlight. Ye Futian stood beneath the vast starlight and seemingly became one with the Ziwei Segmentum.

From the Outer Realms, a mighty army had arrived. They were none other than the cultivators from the Divine Prefecture.

Wang Xiao, now Tianyan the Great, appeared in front of the army. He was surrounded by divine light, and his God's might was overbearing. His eyes flashed with golden divine light as he looked down at everything around him. Behind him were cultivators from the few major Ancient God Clans. All of them were under his command now.

This time, they would surely eradicate the Ziwei Segmentum.

The cultivators arrived at the outer region of the Ziwei Segmentum. After a few years, they came again. In the past, their armies were defeated here, and they were forced to retreat. Ye Futian shocked everyone in the Divine Prefecture with his ever-growing ability. His status back then had already posed a threat to the Ancient God Clans.

Now, Tianyan the Great had returned. He would take care of their worries. They would plunder everything in the Ziwei Segmentum.

Tianyan the Great stopped outside the segmentum. He lowered his head and looked down. His figure was surrounded by God's might, and he was peerless. He took a step forward, and his figure grew larger, transforming into a 100-Zhang-tall god. Sky Tremor, which he wielded, similarly grew larger, and it emanated shocking God's might. The power demonstrated by Sky Tremor now was not at all on the same level as that when the real Wang Xiao wielded it before.

Tianyan the Great, who had transformed into a god, lowered his head and looked over the Ziwei Segmentum. Terrifying flames burned in his gigantic eyes. It was as though two beams of frightening light were directly emitted on the light screen protecting the segmentum. The light screen was on the verge of being penetrated with just his gaze.

The cultivators who stood behind Tianyan the Great felt their hearts tremble in fear. The might of an actual emperor was beyond their imagination.

No wonder the gap to becoming a Great Emperor was so tough that countless cultivators failed to break through it. If they did, they would become a god, an immortal existence.

Even though the current Tianyan the Great paled into insignificance compared to his former self, he was still a Great Emperor who managed to return to the world with the flesh of Wang Xiao. His ability was powerful, and it was not something other cultivators could fathom. Even near-deity figures were like ants before him.

Only real Great Emperors could suppress him now.

In the Ziwei Segmentum, Ye Futian also saw the figure of Tianyan the Great. The 100-Zhang-tall figure of the god was extremely majestic, like a deity whose order was irresistible. He looked down on the segmentum with a gaze of disdain. The divine light emanating from the eyes of Tianyan the Great was enough to kill Ye Futian.

This scene caused Ye Futian to feel somewhat helpless. Could the Ziwei Segmentum resist the other party?

"Why do you put yourself through such a futile struggle? I come from the ancient age, and I have no intention of committing a massacre here," Tianyan the Great said plainly. "You should remove the seal voluntarily and embrace your death. That will spare everyone in the Ziwei Segmentum." His tone was scornful.

Tianyan the Great suggested that Ye Futian should give up resisting. The latter should remove the seal and willingly be killed.

Clearly, Tianyan the Great had set his mind on killing Ye Futian. He did not lie to the latter either. He was too prideful even to bother deceiving Ye Futian.

Ye Futian was but an ant to him. Even with Ye Futian's extraordinary talent, he was but an ant when faced with the Great Emperor. He did not amount to anything.

Ye Futian's emotions were stirred. Tianyan the Great asked him to embrace his death?

Such was the mentality of a Great Emperor. The other Great Emperors most likely also shared a similar way of thinking. They wouldn't take all the Proud Sons of Heaven seriously. For the Great Emperors, those talented youths were but ants.

However, Ye Futian would never accept his death willingly without trying to resist first!

Ye Futian shut his eyes tightly. His body turned ethereal as he transformed into an illusory figure. A terrifying aura permeated the starry sky of the Ziwei Segmentum as countless stars lit up at the same time. Ye Futian's illusory figures appeared on every single star. A menacing aura burst forth.

In the heavens above, Tianyan the Great, who had transformed into a god, stared at the scene below with a cold expression. He scanned the Ziwei Segmentum with a look of disdain as he scoffed, "You are but a mayfly attempting to topple a tree. You are seeking your death."

As he said this, he raised his Sky Tremor, and a shocking wave gushed forth. The shock waves materialized into Tremoring Pulses that swept towards Ye Futian.

Tianyan the Great swung Sky Tremor downwards. The sky beneath his feet shattered, and everything in the way of the attack turned into dust. Myriads of Tremoring Pulses blasted the protective shield of the Ziwei Segmentum.

A shocking sound reverberated in space as the entire Ziwei Segmentum shook. All the cultivators in the segmentum were appalled. They frantically looked up to the sky. Were they under yet another attack?

The cultivators from Ziwei Imperial Palace also felt their hearts tremble violently. Their bodies were shivering as the ground vibrated. Fortunately, the buildings were very stable. Otherwise, they would have collapsed due to the shock.

"Palace Lord," the cultivators mumbled as they raised their heads and stared at the sky. With a flash, Hua Jieyu charged towards where Ye Futian was. Her eyes glistened with tears.

Despite many years having passed and many things having changed, the other party still
