In his previous battles, Ye Futian had seemed to have taken advantage of the situation. He knew many abilities and could always find a way to suppress his opponent. Therefore, although he was certainly not weak, many people felt that he was not too strong either. This being the case, before the battle began, many people thought that Ye Futian was going to lose. However, he had totally crushed Yan Jiu in the battle, from the start to the end. Even when Yan Jiu used his most powerful ability, Ye Futian still managed to defeat him with the most elegant move.
After this battle, many people finally realized that Ye Futian was only a Grade Nine Noble, but his combat power was strong enough to enter the top ten. Indeed, he had been promoted to the top ten.
Yan Jiu stood up from the ground, still coughing blood. With his body bent, he raised his head and stared at Ye Futian, his eyes bloodshot. He had lost to someone whom he thought he would never lose to.
"Just so-so." Ye Futian turned around and left. Yan Jiu was clearly no longer able to fight.
Puff! Yan Jiu spat out a mouthful of blood and clenched his fists tightly. He wanted to use this battle to prove his swordsmanship but only received such a humiliating comment before everyone else. Moreover, there were also people from Sword Saint Villa watching the competition at the side.
Yan Jiu did not leave the arena, as if he was still waiting for something. However, nobody from the Holy Zhi Palace spoke. Many people looked at where Sword Demon was at. Everyone knew that only Sword Demon might accept Yan Jiu as his disciple. Even if the rest asked, Yan Jiu would also reject at once. Only Sword Demon, the strongest swordsman in the Holy Zhi Palace, was capable. However, Sword Demon did not speak until the end.
Seeming to have realized something, Yan Jiu gave a self-mocking smile. He would never forget the humiliation endured today.
Raising his feet with much difficulty, Yan Jiu walked away from the arena step by step, producing a desolate sight.
Sword Demon had accepted Zui Qianchou and Ye Wuchen. Zui Qianchou was an implacable enemy of Yan Jiu, while Ye Wuchen was also a good friend of Ye Futian. In such a circumstance, Sword Demon would rather choose the two of them and could only give Yan Jiu up. Thus, only Chi Meng and Yu Sheng were left in the battle for the top ten.
When the two of them walked into the center of the arena and stood opposite each other, many people had a strange feeling. They all felt that Yu Sheng was strong but weaker than Chi Meng. However, with Ye Futian as an example, and the battle between Yu Sheng and Dou Kui, perhaps something unexpected would happen again.
Both of them looked extremely burly. Just by standing there, they could already make everyone feel how powerful they were.
Suddenly, Devilish Qi erupted from Chi Meng's body. A pair of wings appeared behind his back and an illusory dragon wound around his arm, as if a pure-blooded dragon was circling around him. His eyes looked as sharp, like the eyes of an eagle, and glittered in golden radiance, while his legs were enveloped in wind. On his body, an illusory yak appeared. It was as though his entire body was made up of various demonic beasts. He looked overpowering and devilish.
The members of Demon God Clan were capable of borrowing the powers of various demonic beasts. They could even enter the margins of the Demon World and fight with the demonic beasts there. Therefore, they had many abilities which otherwise only belonged to demonic beasts.
"Let me feel your power!" Chi Meng taunted, staring at Yu Sheng. Then, he walked forward.
Yu Sheng's body was covered with a dark golden demonic light. Spiritual Qi in the sky gushed wildly into his demonic body, after which it turned into many streams of golden demonic currents that danced around him. Yu Sheng's body was covered with a violent demonic might.
Dong! Yu Sheng stepped forward and the ground shook. With only one step, many people's hearts raced uncontrollably. He looked so strong that most people forgot his level. They all knew that Yu Sheng was powerful not only because of his overpowering demonic art but also because of his inborn strength. It was his innate talent that he was physically stronger than an ordinary person. One could feel his strength by just looking at his stature. Moreover, his physical talent and potential were activated further by his overpowering demonic method, which had finally created the frightening humanoid monster he was today.
Their fists collided straight into each other. Immediately, a terrifying storm bloomed in the arena. The Devilish Qi and violent Demon Qi raged in the air. As the two collided with one another, many horrifying illusory demonic beasts leaped towards Yu Sheng. However, an enormous illusory demon appeared on Yu Sheng's body. Immediately, the demonic beasts were suppressed firmly on the ground, as if they were kneeling down.
At the same time, the demonic light on Yu Sheng's fist was actually consuming the Devilish Qi on Chi Meng's body. As Yu Sheng activated his demonic method, he started engulfing all the powers around him.
Chi Meng punched out his left fist which actually turned into a giant Roc. With its sharp claws ready, the Roc charged towards Yu Sheng's head. Immediately, Yu Sheng withdrew his right fist, after which he swept out his left arm. His demonic might penetrated through everything, crushing the illusory Roc. Then, his fist landed on Chi Meng's left arm, producing a violent bang. Chi Meng, however, did not stop. His right hand punched out again with much force. This time, it was the power of the elephant.
Under the attentive stare of everyone, the two fought wildly with each other in a close-range battle. As they fought, their bodies also ascended into the air. They battled from the ground into the sky and an appalling storm was created around them. The audience noticed that the illusory demonic beasts that Chi Meng released during his attacks could not harm Yu Sheng at all. Yu Sheng was so strong that he could break everything by force.
Bang! Following a loud bang, the two separated from each other for the first time. Spiritual Qi rolled on Chi Meng's body and ascended into the air. Then, his Life Spirit appeared behind him. It was a catalog that seemed to contain thousands of drawings of demonic beasts. These drawings seemed to be able to move on their own and they were filled with an imposing Devilish Qi. This was the Demon Refining Catalogue, a Life Spirit that only core disciples of Demon God Clan could possess.
From Chi Meng's Life Spirit, many intimidating demonic beasts charged out directly. They included Rocs, elephants, golden lions, stone apes, pure-blooded dragons…
At this instant, all the drawings in the Demon Refining Catalogue seemed to have come alive. The thousands of demonic beasts in the sky trampled and rushed towards Yu Sheng's body.
"This Life Spirit…" Ye Futian was somewhat shocked. Could this Life Spirit summon demonic beasts?
Indeed, the Demonic Refining Catalogue was capable of summoning. Even among the cultivators from Demon God Clan, only a handful would possess this Life Spirit. It was said that the earliest leader of Demon God Clan was also extremely powerful, but the clan declined slowly after that. Despite this being the case, Demon God Clan was still one of the most powerful forces in the Barren State. The demonic beasts raced and crushed everything in the sky, charging towards Yu Sheng.
Yu Sheng's expression was extremely cold and the demonic might on his body also grew in intensity. Behind him, the illusory demon seemed to have come into existence, turning into a real demon. It roared and the sky vibrated. The demonic beasts charging over actually trembled in fear and many of them knelt down in the sky, not daring to advance further. It was as though they were terrified by the might of the illusory demon.
"Strike!" Chi Meng shouted. At once, many demonic beasts continued charging. Even though they were fear-stricken, they still listened to Chi Meng's commands.
With a demonic halberd in his hand, Yu Sheng swang the halberd forward suddenly, penetrating across the bodies of many demonic beasts. Blood danced in the sky. Nevertheless, there were still countless demonic beasts charging wildly towards him. Yu Sheng's eyes were glittering with an astounding demonic light. In the depth of his eyes, there seemed to be an all-powerful illusory demon. It was an ancient demon which had granted him his startling strength.
Immediately, the Spiritual Qi around Yu Sheng all turned into Demon Qi which circled around the sky wildly, crushing everything. Raising his head, Yu Sheng looked at the sky and then extended his arm. The Spiritual Qi in the sky turned into many dark golden demonic halberds. The vast region around Yu Sheng was filled with countless demonic halberds.
In the next moment, everyone saw the infinite number of demonic halberds start a crazy massacre. They penetrated across the incoming demonic beasts, producing many loud thuds. All the demonic beasts seemed to be whining in pain. The demonic beasts falling from the sky seemed to have been summoned by the Demon God, which was Yu Sheng himself.
Countless people were astonished. The scene of the countless demonic beasts being slain was too alarming. Those from the Dawn Road were now certain that Yu Sheng was the person who had killed Ning Huang. Did the same kind of massacre happen in Jinxiao City? They would clearly not know that this was the ability Yu Sheng had obtained after entering the Noble Plane in his previous battle. He did not have this ability in the Dawn Road.
"Yu Sheng seems to have totally transformed after becoming a noble..." Looking at the scene, Ye Futian was dumbfounded. That year, he had inherited the Freedom Meditation, while Yu Sheng had obtained the demonic art from godfather. What kind of art is it exactly? Why is it so strong? he thought.
The higher Yu Sheng's level was, the more overpowering he was.
Suddenly, a ridiculous thought appeared in Ye Futian's mind—his godfather was Yu Sheng's actual father. Yu Sheng had obtained his talents and demonic art from his father.
So was Ye Futian's godfather a Demonic Cultivator? Was this the reason that he was not tolerated by the powerful people in the Divine Prefecture?
In the depth of the Holy Zhi Palace, there was an extremely tall palace. In the palace, there was a burly figure sitting quietly on the ground. Suddenly, he opened his eyes, looking at a certain direction outside the Holy Zhi Palace. The person was half-naked and his entire body was bronze in color, but at the same time filled with a golden luster. His muscles seemed to contain incredible power. At the moment, it was as though his sight could penetrate across space and he was looking at the arena directly.
In the arena, many dark golden demonic halberds were charging towards Chi Meng. The thousands of demonic beasts roared but could not stop the incoming attack. Chi Meng backed off rapidly and stared at Yu Sheng, after which he said, "I lost."
Right away, Yu Sheng stopped his attack. The demonic might on his body dissipated and he returned to his original position. However, his demon-like figure had been carved into the minds of countless many.
Yu Sheng had beat Chi Meng and obtained the last position in the top ten. What exactly was his limit? Even Chi Meng did not manage to stop him from advancing. Yu Sheng was indeed a monster.
The battles in the Holy Zhi Palace were indeed the most exciting noble-level battles in the Barren State. So many geniuses had shown up. Today, Ye Futian and Yu Sheng had both become famous in just one battle. One of them had defeated Yan Jiu, while the other had beat Chi Meng.
The ten top had finally emerged. They were Ye Futian, Yu Sheng, Yuan Zhan, Huang Jiuge, Bai Ze, Zhuge Xing, Xu Que, Xiao Junyi, Huang, and Phoenix!
Scanning these people, many people were filled with excitement. How intense would the battle of the top ten be? Even the powerful cultivators were looking forward to it!
