After Ye Futian won in that Battle of Empty Realms years ago, Li Yao broke the rules of engagement and attempted to kill him.

The relations.h.i.+p between the realms of Emperor Xia and Emperor Li quickly took a turn for the worse after that, with conflicts occurring regularly.

As such, order at Empty Realm was broken, with the realm currently being split into three factions.

Three imperial realms remained in a standoff and battles erupted now and then. All of them competed for the realm’s resources.

At present, all three factions had mighty ones carving out their territories.

In Emperor Xia’s service, the Army of Dou was in charge, with a Holiness of Nirvana taking command. The leader was none other than Lu You, who had been protecting Princess Xia Qingyuan for quite some time. There was also a Holiness of Nirvana from Emperor Li’s Realm present—King White of the Four Kings.

The Holiness of Nirvana from Demon Peac.o.c.k Emperor’s Realm was a monster. It was a protector at the emperor’s side and was known as a king in the Demon Peac.o.c.k Emperor’s Realm. It had the t.i.tle of Idol King and possessed formidable powers.

All three factions had fought skirmishes against each other time and again, but they had never gone too far. That was because Empty Realm was directly connected to the three imperial realms. All-out wars could have broken out if they were not careful, and all factions could have had people from their respective realms coming to take charge of things.

As such, Ye Futian also chose to go to Empty Realm only after King Tiandao and the Prince Regent emerged to intercept the Swordmaster of Lihen. He wanted to confirm that enemy officers at the very top had been deployed. If he were to invade Empty Realm without confirming that, there was the possibility of ambush.

King Tiandao and the Prince Regent stood at the very pinnacle of Dali Dynasty. If they were absent, Ye Futian would still have been able to handle any ambush he ran into.

At that moment, a group of people descended from above Emperor Xia’s City of Empty Realm. It was none other than Ye Futian’s party, and Xia Qingyuan was with them as well.

Lu You and the Sacred General of Dou took to the air and called, “Princess.”

Lu You had served as Xia Qingyuan’s bodyguard for many years, so it could be said that he was very familiar with her.

Xia Qingyuan nodded slightly and both of them turned to look at Ye Futian. Lu You met him many times before, yet it was the first time for the Sacred General of Dou. The general eyed the genius whose name became known throughout Emperor Xia’s Realm. He had heard that it was this young man who led this war.

Not even the Sacred General of Tian, the top general of the Eight Armies, had commanded such authority before.

But then again, he heard that it was Ye Futian who invited the Swordmaster of Lihen and many other legendary figures to partic.i.p.ate in the war.

“Senior, Sacred General.” Ye Futian addressed them with his hands cupped.

“Sir Ye.” Lu You nodded.

“Your reputation precedes you, Sir Ye. I finally get to meet the man in person.” The Sacred General of Dou had a br.i.m.m.i.n.g aura, yet he had the look and bearing of a scholar, appearing well-mannered and elegant.

However, there was no mistaking his extremely formidable combat prowess. He was already at the pinnacle of Unblemished Saint level.

“You’re too kind, Sacred General. How are things here now?” Ye Futian asked.

“Quiet. There is no movement from Dali’s side, and the Demon Peac.o.c.k Emperor’s Realm seemed like they’re just watching the world burn. They probably won’t get involved,” the Sacred General of Dou said.

“That won’t be it…” Ye Futian shook his head.

The Sacred General of Dou looked at Ye Futian and asked, “Do you think that they would choose to ally with Emperor Li’s Realm and take us on instead?”

Emperor Xia’s Realm was, at the moment, the most powerful among the three. The ones from Demon Peac.o.c.k Emperor’s Realm might have allied with Emperor Li’s Realm out of concern that Emperor Xia’s Realm would have taken the chance to seize permanent control of Empty Realm.

“Would you mind going to Peac.o.c.k City with me for a bit?” Ye Futian smiled and asked.

The Sacred General of Dou looked rather puzzled, wondering why Ye Futian would have wanted to do that.

He was unable to read the young man’s intentions.

“Very well.” The Sacred General of Dou nodded and the group departed.

It did not take them long to arrive at the Empty Realm base of operations for Demon Peac.o.c.k Emperor’s Realm, called Peac.o.c.k City. The group barged into Peac.o.c.k City right away, landing at the central area.

A stout man who emanated br.i.m.m.i.n.g might sat before them. His form looked mighty and larger than most. His eyes were very huge and his nose was unusually long. Those eyes had extremely overbearing pressure emanating from them as they gazed at Ye Futian.

That being was none other than the Idol King of Demon Peac.o.c.k Emperor’s Realm.

As Ye Futian felt the weight of his vague aura, it seemed the aura was capable of crus.h.i.+ng him to death on its own. Even the Sacred General of Dou looked rather alerted.

“I’m Ye Futian. Pleased to meet you, Idol King.” Ye Futian bowed slightly to show his respect.

“You are indeed the cream of the crop, City Lord Ye. No wonder the princess spoke so highly of you.” The pressure from the Idol King dispersed and he laughed heartily.

The Sacred General of Dou was baffled. He knew of Ye Futian’s current status within Emperor Xia’s Realm, and about his rather peculiar relations.h.i.+p with the princess. Yet it seemed Ye Futian had a similar relations.h.i.+p with the princess of Demon Peac.o.c.k Emperor’s Realm. He wondered how that happened. Especially because some years ago, Ye Futian had gotten on the bad side of Kong Xuan during the Battle of Empty Realm.

The Sacred General of Dou then looked at Ye Futian’s face, wondering if Ye Futian could do as he pleased because of his handsome features.

“That’s quite flattering, senior. Princess Kong Xuan has superb talents and she will be quite the demon empress herself in the future,” Ye Futian smiled and replied. The Black Wind Condor was still training at Demon Peac.o.c.k Emperor’s Realm and he had long reconciled with her. The relations.h.i.+p between the two was quite amicable.

If he were to have Kong Xuan on his side, then Dali could have been effectively kicked out of the realm. Then the realm would have been subjected to joint rule by Emperor Xia’s Realm and Demon Peac.o.c.k Emperor’s Realm.

In Kong Xuan’s perspective, it all had to do with her coming to terms with Ye Futian and how the bird was training under a super monster as well. There was also the factor of Ye Futian’s extraordinary performance in Crimson Dragon Realm at play. As such, Demon Peac.o.c.k Emperor’s Realm would have naturally leaned towards having a good relations.h.i.+p with him instead of making an enemy out of him.

The joint rule of Empty Realm would have been beneficial to both while causing no harm. As for Dali, Ye Futian intended to take them on and Dali Dynasty was in a ditch themselves. They could not have so much as even an opinion, let alone getting on the bad side of Demon Peac.o.c.k Emperor’s Realm.

As such, after receiving Ye Futian’s invitation, Kong Xuan had returned to Demon Peac.o.c.k Emperor’s Realm right away to report. She also relayed the news to Empty Realm through the Black Wind Condor, who enabled Kong Xuan to converse directly with Ye Futian.

All of that culminated with this meeting between Ye Futian and the Idol King at Peac.o.c.k City.

“Senior, it was Emperor Li’s Realm who broke the rules of the pact between the three realms back in the Battle of Empty Realm. We should have kicked them out of Empty Realm back then, and the realm should be jointly ruled by us,” Ye Futian continued. That was the agreement he reached with Kong Xuan.

“Well said.” The Idol King nodded. “Emperor Li’s Realm was the one who broke the rules. That is how we should deal with them.”

The Sacred General of Dou, who was at his side, was completely dumbfounded.

Demon Peac.o.c.k Emperor’s Realm had indeed picked a side, but it was their side that they allied with. How could Dali Dynasty fight this anymore?

“I’ll head back to Emperor Xia’s City and rally our forces. We’ll expel Emperor Li’s Realm once and for all.” Ye Futian cupped his hands before excusing himself.

The Idol King looked at Ye Futian’s back as he left, recalling how Princess Kong Xuan spoke very highly of him. She claimed that his future would not be at either Emperor Xia’s Realm or Emperor Li’s.

The army of Dali Dynasty was stationed at Emperor Li’s City.

Empty Realm had rich deposits of sacred spirit stones and they were all imbued with Empty Realm attributes. Furthermore, the realm was connected to three imperial realms, so Dali Dynasty would not have given up the place easily.

At that moment, King White sensed a looming threat around him.

“The ones from Demon Peac.o.c.k Emperor’s Realm are here, huh?” He frowned hard. A mighty one whose aura brimmed stood at King White’s side. It was someone whom Ye Futian had met quite a lot of times—Cao Kong, a figure of utmost importance among the Demonic Clan. There were many mighty ones from the Demonic Clan right behind him.

King White was not the only one in charge at Empty Realm. The Demonic Clan’s mighty ones were there as well. It was apparent that they believed Empty Realm to be important.

Extremely formidable pressure of the great path rained down on them, and two armies came from afar.

King White saw the silver-haired young man at the forefront and felt rather complicated. The Imperial Advisor had taken that young man to be his student back then, and Emperor Li had even wanted to marry off one of the princesses to him. It was quite a pity that he and Li Yao could not have gotten along, given how Li Yao had killed his wife.

If the Imperial Advisor had not gotten into trouble, they would not have been on the defense in this conflict. The Imperial Advisor alone could have taken on armies.

Yan Yuan, the eldest student of the Imperial Advisor, had advanced to become a Holiness of Nirvana as well.

However, it was done now and there was no turning back. No one would have expected Ye Futian to have grown so much in such a short period. He had already brought a group of Holiness of Nirvanas to Emperor Xia’s Realm.

“Idol King, Dali Dynasty and Demon Peac.o.c.k Emperor’s Realm had shared amicable relations. Is Demon Peac.o.c.k Emperor’s Realm wanting to get involved in the conflict with Emperor Xia’s Realm and Emperor Li’s Realm now?” King White asked as he looked at the Idol King from afar.

“We’re not interested in the squabbles between Emperor Li and Emperor Xia. But Li Yao broke the rules in the Battle of Empty Realm all those years ago, and that brought on the current instability.

Without those old rules, fighting has continued for the past several years, and the order was disrupted,” the Idol King said. “Since it was you of Emperor Li’s Realm who broke the rules, then we shall end the chaos with you. Emperor Li’s Realm shall leave Empty Realm.”

King White stared straight ahead. Emperor Li’s City was one step behind him.

It was obvious that the intrusion of Emperor Xia’s Realm into Empty Realm was meant to uproot Dali Dynasty from the realm itself.

“Take Ye Futian out,” Cao Kong said telepathically to King White. Those Holiness of Nirvanas served Ye Futian, so the fighting would end if Ye Futian were taken out of the picture.

“Your reputation precedes you, Idol King, and I shall now see what you’re made of.” King White disappeared from where he stood. However, he did not charge at the Idol King. Instead, he headed straight for Ye Futian’s location.

Cao Kong made his move as well. He stepped out and demonic might swept all over as he headed straight for Ye Futian.

The two Holiness of Nirvanas targeted Ye Futian right away.

Boom!

A loud rumble was heard. The sky shook as if it had been pinned down. All of the mighty ones present felt as if a divine mountain had landed on them, intending to crush them outright.

The Idol King threw a single punch at King White’s body, making it as he was about to crush his surroundings.

Boom!

Another rumble was heard and King White’s advance was blocked. The Idol King stepped out and said, “If you tell me, I’ll happily oblige.”

Fighting erupted right beside them almost at the very same moment. Cao Kong threw a demonic palm print, which clashed with Lu You. His immense power threw Lu You back and he continued moving forward.

People who trained in demonic ways were extremely overbearing.

He headed straight for Ye Futian after throwing Lu You back, yet he saw a shadow like a war G.o.d of flames standing tall before Ye Futian.

That was the Chonglou Battle Form taken by Wu Yong. Ye Futian stood right behind Wu Yong, whose body seemed to have turned into a scorching sun. The terrifying will of the great path surged inside Wu Yong’s body, enhancing his power and cranking his battle form up to the twelfth layer.

Cao Kong had been the main force when Li Yao intended to kill Ye Futian in Empty Realm. Yaya was badly injured and Wuchen almost ended up killed.
