Chapter 2033 - Chen Yi

Chapter 2033: Chen Yi Who was this person? There were still many uninformed people who were asking around. In the Nine Heavens, many Renhuangs were whispering to each other. They were discussing the person who had appeared.
Among those from the Donghua Heavens, a Renhuang who could cause such a commotion was definitely an outstanding figure. Only figures such as Ning Hua and Goddess Taihua had such influence. If so, who was this Renhuang? He was actually not part of any of the top forces.

His name is Chen Yi,
somebody stated. This caused many people to reveal strange expressions. This name was too common. He only had a single character for one after his surname; it was extremely simple.

What’s so special about him?
asked someone else.

20 years ago, this person was already renowned in the Donghua Heavens. Back in the day, he defeated many prominent figures and suffered no losses in the Law Battles he fought in. Rumor has it that Donghua Academy had personally extended him an invitation to join them. Such treatment from them is exceedingly rare. It has only occurred several times in the history of Donghua Academy. However, Chen Yi turned down their invitation.

Someone said as they watched the silhouette on the Law Battle Platform above,
Hence, back then, many disciples from Donghua Academy were unsatisfied with his arrogant behavior. Several Renhuangs sought him out to teach him a lesson. In the end, he delivered them a crushing defeat single-handedly. Later on, Donghua Academy mobilized extremely powerful Renhuangs, and they still lost to him. There were even rumors that Domain Chief’s Manor also wanted to recruit him. However, Chen Yi had disappeared by then. He slowly faded from the consciousness of the members of the Donghua Heavens. That is why many people gradually forgot that such a figure once existed. Yet, now, he has appeared again in this Donghua Banquet.

It was Chen Yi. Over where the members of Donghua Academy were, they were all staring at the figure below. Many of them recognized this person. This person had caused Donghua Academy to suffer a humiliating defeat.
Ning Hua lowered his head and glanced at the silhouette on the Law Battle Platform. His gaze was cold and indifferent. He had also heard of this name. Back in the day, due to his station, he had not fought Chen Yi. Back then, Chen Yi was only a third-tier Renhuang, whereas he was already a middle-level Renhuang at the peak.

His cultivation is already at the fifth-tier,
a disciple from the academy commented.
High above, in Donghua Palace, Emperor Xi was curious as he asked,
Is this person famous?


I recall having heard of him 20 years ago. Back then, he was indeed well known in the Donghua Heavens,
Chief Ning said as he looked at the person below.
As expected, the Donghua Banquet is full of crouching tigers and hidden dragons that need a little motivation for them to show themselves. It seems that an even more intense battle is about to begin.


Chief has such a high opinion about this person?
Emperor Xi asked.
Ling He, Yan Dongyang, as well as the prominent figures of Donghua Academy, are all of the same Plane as this person. However, without any exception, they have all suffered defeat at the hands of Ye Liunian. Could it be that this person is even more outstanding than all the previous ones?

The various giant figures were also curious. After all, they were not from the Donghua Heavens and would not be too concerned about a junior from there. If this person had been from their own continents, they might have known more about him.

Ling He is inferior to him,
Ling Xiao Palace Palace Lord stated.
According to my sources, a disciple of the academy who was even more outstanding than Ling He had lost to this person back then. This person has disappeared for many years. For him to return and participate in the Donghua Banquet this time, it might be that he has reached a bottleneck in his cultivation journey and wants to challenge himself again. It might also be that he wants to join Domain Chief’s Manor.


Let us see. Many people are cheering for this person. I am looking forward to this fight,
said Chief Ning with a smile. The others nodded in agreement.

Chen Yi is such a famous prominent figure of the Donghua Heavens. However, that being said, for him, a fifth-tier Renhuang, to challenge a fourth-tier Ye Liunian, it is giving the crowd such anticipation,
Thunder Punishing Skylord said with a smile.
From a different perspective, this also proves where Ye Liunian currently stands in the hearts of the cultivators here today.

Many people who heard him say this nodded their heads slightly. Sword Goddess also said,
It is indeed so.

After such a prominent figure like Chen Yi emerged, everyone hoped that he would battle against Ye Futian. From this, it could be seen that the crowd unknowingly viewed Ye Futian as an unbeatable figure. At least in a situation where Ye Futian’s cultivation was similar to that of his opponent, the crowd believed that no one could stand against him.
Therefore, when Chen Yi walked out, this caught the attention of everyone. Countless people were waiting for their battle.

It has only been a few days since he entered the Donghua Heavens, yet he has gained such fame because of a battle against the academy. It is a rare sight.

The crowd was busy discussing. At that moment, Ye Futian had already entered the Law Battle Platform and now stood before Chen Yi.
Ye Futian also heard some of the discussion below. This Renhuang, who had emerged from the Fifth Heaven, appeared to be famous. The crowd was eagerly waiting for him to battle against Ye Futian. It was apparent that this person was particular. Ye Futian could not help but size up his opponent. Chen Yi’s appearance was not outstanding. However, he gave off a very comfortable vibe. He had a faint smile on his face and seemed casual and unrestrained.
Ye Futian heard the people down below discussing that this person had turned down the invitation of Donghua Academy and had not joined them to cultivate.

I am Chen Yi. Recently, I have heard of Renhuang Ye constantly in the Donghua Heavens. Hence, I have intentionally come to receive a few pointers,
Chen Yi greeted Ye Futian with a smile as he saluted with his fists.

I am Ye Liunian,
Ye Futian replied as he did the same. They chatted casually. They both appeared very calm.
Ye Futian felt that Chen Yi was looking at him with a strange gaze. It seemed as though Chen Yi was very interested in him. Ye Futian could not decipher the meaning behind the gaze.

Let us begin,
said Chen Yi.

Let’s,
Ye Futian replied. However, he saw Chen Yi standing there quietly. It was as though he had no intention of attacking. Ye Futian also stood there, seemingly waiting for his opponent to attack first.
Chen Yi suddenly smiled at Ye Futian. It was a meaningful smile. Just as Ye Futian was puzzled for a split second, a blinding light suddenly radiated outwards. The powerful light instantly turned the space into a world of absolute light. Ye Futian found it difficult to keep his eyes open. There was extremely bright light before his eyes. For a moment, he was in a daze.
Sensing an extremely intense threat, Ye Futian’s figure immediately retreated backward. The will of the Great Path of Space emanated outwards, warping space.
Buzz…
A high-pitched hum of a sword could be heard. Ye Futian instantly appeared far away. However, the sword seemed to penetrate the space directly and descend upon him. Its speed was actually even faster than his teleportation.
A soft swooshing sound could be heard. Ye Futian appeared high in the sky. He lowered his head and glanced down below. A section of his white robe had been sliced off. A sword light swept across before him.
Chen Yi did not continue his attack. He stood unmoving on his spot quietly. Yet, at that moment, dazzling divine light appeared around his body, shining out in all directions. The divine sword in his hand also radiated brilliant white light. It was blinding.

A Sword of Light,
said Ye Futian as he looked down at Chen Yi. Just now, Chen Yi could have taken advantage of Ye Futian being caught off guard and continued to press his attack. The speed of light was unbelievably fast. Yet, Chen Yi had not done so and instead merely stood there waiting. It seemed that the sword just now was merely a reminder to Ye Futian.

Light Shadow Sword Emperor, Chen Yi.

Down below, voices cried out. Countless people gazed up at the dazzling sword. This was the prominent figure who shook the Donghua Heavens twenty years ago, the person who was known as Light Shadow Sword Emperor, Chen Yi.

Incredible.

In Donghua Palace, Thunder Punishing Skylord praised Chen Yi and said,
No wonder this person was so well regarded. He has actually comprehended the Way of Light. He must have had a fateful encounter.


Hmm,
the other cultivators responded as they nodded their heads in agreement. The Way of Light was an extremely rare ability of the Great Path. It isn’t easy to comprehend. Chen Yi must be a cultivator with a flawless Great Path. It was almost impossible for him to have managed to do so without a fateful encounter.

I am not too clear about this. He should have had one. Each incredible cultivator will have had their own fateful encounter, aside from their talent,
Chief Ning said. Many people nodded in agreement.
No wonder he previously turned down Donghua Academy, the crowd thought to themselves. However, no one said this out loud. After all, the College Chief of Donghua Academy was also present.
Outside of the Law Battle Platform, Ning Hua and Desolation were also excited as they looked down at the platform. Chen Yi raised his head and said to Ye Futian,
Are you ready?

This time, the power of the Great Path emanated around Ye Futian. A formless aura of the Great Path expanded out around him. Ye Futian was clearly taking it somewhat seriously. In their exchange just now, his opponent had not been serious. Yet, that attack made Ye Futian feel as though Chen Yi’s ability was above Kong Xiao’s. Chen Yi was mighty.

Hmm,
Ye Futian replied as he nodded his head. He had a serious gaze.
In front of Chen Yi’s figure, a Sword of Light appeared. It then split into two, then three, and so on. A wheel of divine swords appeared before him. They were all pointed at Ye Futian. Seemingly in an instant, billions of Swords of Light appeared, forming a gigantic sword pattern.
Each sword radiated with blinding light, making it hard for the spectators to keep their eyes open.
Chen Yi extended his palm forward and then sent out a palm strike. Instantly, the billions of divine swords shone at the same time and shot out. Blinding divine light covered this part of the sky. The swords seemed to merge into the light. Each beam of light was a murderous sword. They flooded this part of the sky.
It seemed as though Ye Futian was about to be buried by the light.
The crowd saw Ye Futian being consumed by the sword light in an instant. They could not see his silhouette. The blinding light consumed his figure completely almost immediately.
Buzz!
The will of the Great Path emanated from Ye Futian’s body. A domain of the Great Path appeared around him. Stars circled him, and countless stone tablets appeared before him. Each stone tablet released divine light. Runes appeared to be carved on them. A string of runes lined up and appeared in front of Ye Futian, sealing off the space.
This scene caused Ye Futian’s silhouette to once again appear in the crowd’s view. The stone tablets seemed to gather together to form a gigantic divine tablet that spread across the sky. Divine light of the Great Path shot out from it and collided with the sword light charging towards him. This caused a majestic scene to be displayed before the crowd!
