After that, the battles continued. However, just like how many people avoided the mysterious cultivator, many people who had strong thoughts about entering the Eastern Deity Island chose to continue avoiding Ye Futian.
Ye Futian was too strong. The mysterious cultivator had lost one of his 36 chess pieces in the process of battle.
However, Ye Futian still had all 36 chess pieces. If they met again, they would still be no match for him. Hence, they could only continue to wait for a better chance.
Of course, there were also some powerful figures who did not wait and chose to enter the chess game to participate in the battle.
Ye Futian did not pay attention to the battlefield. In this Penglai Continent, it was already not easy for a mysterious cultivator to appear. It would be very difficult for another person to appear that could threaten him.
After a while, the Battle of the Nine was decided.
The nine cultivators on the chessboard looked at each other. Then, the gazes of the other eight people all looked at Ye Futian.
It was as if Ye Futian was the undisputed main character of the upcoming battle.
"Enter the chess game," the goddess of the Eastern Deity Island said. Suddenly, silhouettes floated down. After they landed on the chessboard, chess pieces circled around them. Pairs of sharp eyes were still staring in the same direction.
In that direction, white clothes fluttered. The white-haired Renhuang's figure slowly descended, and the 36 chess pieces shone brilliantly at the same time.
Buzz … The moment Ye Futian landed on the chessboard, the eight cultivators actually attacked at the same time without a trace of hesitation. It was as if they had already reached some kind of tacit agreement. All of them attacked Ye Futian alone.
This scene caused a look of surprise to appear on everyone's faces. It seemed that they had already communicated telepathically. The eight Renhuangs attacking the moment Ye Futian landed was not a very honorable thing to do. After all, they were all Renhuangs.
However, they could also understand that when faced with Ye Futian's previous strength, if they did not use extreme measures, they would not have a chance at all.
From all eight directions, chess pieces transformed into attacks of the Great Path at the same time. Ye Futian's body emitted a frightening sharp sound, but at the same time, the 36 chess pieces flew at the same time, circling around Ye Futian's body and transforming into terrifying Sword Wills.
The 36 chess pieces turned into 36 Sword Wills, and the 36 Sword Wills gave birth to countless sword shadows. As they flew around Ye Futian's body, they turned into a screen of swords with his body as the center. The screen of swords circled around him, making terrifying tearing sounds.
Intense sounds of collisions could be heard. When the attacks of the Great Path formed by the chess pieces descended, they were instantly torn apart by the sword screen and turned into nothingness.
The attacking chess piece was shattered instead.
This scene caused many to feel despair. The difference in the power of the Great Path made the might of their chess pieces far inferior to Ye Futian's. It was destined that they would not be able to defeat Ye Futian. Their chess pieces actively attacked, but they were still destroyed by Ye Futian's defenses. How could they continue to fight?
The difference in quality was never something that could be made up for by the number of people. It was just like how many Renhuangs of a lower plane fought against one Renhuang of a higher plane. There would still be no suspense in the outcome of the battle.
Hence, there was no suspense in this battle either. Seeing their chess pieces shatter one by one and then retracting them, Ye Futian waved his hand, and the 36 chess pieces arced through the air like beams of swords, shattering all the chess pieces of the Great Path from the various cultivators.
After the chess pieces of everyone except Ye Futian were shattered, the chess pieces surrounding Ye Futian's body were still the same. All 36 of them were intact. Not a single one was lost.
Not a single one was damaged. He was even stronger than the mysterious cultivator from before.
Previously, everyone thought that the mysterious cultivator's loss of one chess piece would be the record for this trip to the Eastern Deity Island. However, no one expected that the record would be broken so quickly. Ye Futian directly surpassed him and defeated everyone with a perfect victory.
The appearance of two such outstanding figures in the same trip was an eye-opener for many people. The people of the Eastern Deity Island would probably be happy as well.
Shangguan Qiuye watched as Ye Futian walked towards the high platform beside the Eastern Deity Gate. She thought that Ye Futian might be the most dazzling person in this trip to the Eastern Deity Island. Hence, the Eastern Deity Island would definitely express their goodwill to him.
If Ye Futian borrowed the power of the Eastern Deity Island, then he would not need to be afraid of the Jun family.
Although the Eastern Deity Island had secluded itself from the rest of the world to cultivate these past few years, in reality, it had been accumulating its strength. How strong it was now was a mystery. No one knew. However, according to her guess, it was definitely not weaker than the top forces of the Penglai Continent.
After all, although the Eastern Deity Island had suffered a great calamity in the past, its foundation could not be ignored. Even after so many years had passed, the Great Path Opportunities inherited from the Eastern Deity Island and the pills on the Eastern Deity Island were still something that countless cultivators wanted to fight for. Just look at the opening of the Eastern Deity Island every ten years.
With such a strong foundation, she guessed that the current strength of the Eastern Deity Island might be above any of the top forces of the Penglai Continent. However, as to what level exactly, no one knew. Even the major figures of the Penglai Continent could not tell.
Hence, if the Eastern Deity Island was willing to help Ye Futian, the threat of the Jun family would not be so terrifying.
When she thought of this, Shangguan Qiuye revealed a strange expression. She looked at Ye Futian, who was high above. Could this be the reason why this guy was so domineering?
After all, they all knew that once they left the Eastern Deity Island, the virtuosos of the Jun family would definitely deal with Ye Futian.
First, he pulled her into the trap and tied up the Shangguan family. Then, he set up the Eastern Deity Island. It seemed that this guy had already planned everything.
She glanced at Jun Qiuyan behind her. Shangguan Qiuye made up her mind. Regardless of whether they could become friends or not, she would at least not become enemies with Ye Futian. Otherwise, even if they could suppress Ye Futian now, once Ye Futian found an opportunity, he might end up like Jun Qiuyan and be eliminated along with the virtuosos of the Jun family.
Also, she had to fight for an opportunity to step into the Eastern Deity Gate. After seeing Ye Futian and witnessing his strength, Shangguan Qiuye felt that the resources that she was proud of in the past were not worth mentioning at all. She had to become even stronger.
The Divine Prefecture was too big. There were many hidden dragons and crouching tigers. Although the Penglai Continent was also a relatively strong continent, at least in the central region of these thousands of continents, compared to the entire Divine Prefecture, it was still small. She wanted to see the scenery further away.
Ye Futian came to the high platform beside the Eastern Deity Gate and sat down quietly. Beside him was the mysterious virtuoso.
"Jiang Jiuming," the young man said to Ye Futian. It seemed to be his name. Ever since he stepped onto the Eastern Deity Island, he had never revealed his name. This was the first time he had done so.
Perhaps it was because Ye Futian's strength caught his attention. He did not expect that there would be someone who could do better than him and arrive here with a perfect performance with 36 chess pieces.
Of course, he did not care that much about the difference of one chess piece. After all, he was not that serious at that time. Otherwise, he could have done the same as Ye Futian and not lost a single chess piece.
"Ye Liunian," Ye Futian replied. Before he had the ability to deal with the top figures, he did not intend to use his real name. Hence, he continued to use the name Ye Liunian.
Although the Divine Prefecture was huge, it was still possible for some of the top forces to come into contact with and know about what happened in the Original Realm. He still had to be cautious.
After Jiang Jiuming said this, he did not say anything else. He continued to cultivate with his eyes closed. It was as if he did not care about what was happening in the outside world.
Ye Futian also sat there quietly and cultivated quietly.
Time passed slowly. The battles on the chessboard continued. However, no one as strong as Ye Futian and Jiang Jiuming appeared again. They were existences that could directly crush the other outstanding figures. The competition between them was constantly plotting against each other. Alliances and betrayals were constantly happening. Other than strength, it also tested one's luck and intelligence.
After all, unless one had an absolute advantage in terms of strength, they would definitely lose if they were surrounded and attacked.
Previously, there was a seemingly simple and honest Renhuang who was extremely smart. He was eliminated by a narrow margin and only had nine chess pieces left to enter the second round of nine battles. The others did not pay much attention to his existence. However, at the last moment, this person suddenly exploded with strength that was not inferior to the other eight people. He used his last chess piece to defeat his opponent while the other two were fighting fiercely. This caused the people behind him to be even more cautious. They no longer dared to recklessly target the powerful figures first. They also had to be on guard against those who seemed weak.
Shangguan Qiuye was also eliminated by relying on her own strength and some luck. She arrived at the high platform.
As time passed, more and more virtuosos participated in the battles. There were already seven people on the high platform.
Not only did the number of people outside the chessboard not decrease, but it actually increased. The virtuosos of the Illusory Sky Domain had all gathered here. The Eastern Deity Island would not wait forever. At a certain time, they would directly close the chessboard. Otherwise, some people would not make a move until there were fewer and fewer powerful figures in the later rounds.
Many people looked at the figures sitting on the high platform. These were the people who were qualified to enter the Core Island and obtain the Great Path Elixir of the Eastern Deity Island.
Finally, after two more people qualified, the goddess of the Eastern Deity Island announced the closure of the chessboard matrix. Those who did not make a move had lost their chance.
Since then, a total of nine practitioners had obtained the right to enter the Core Island of the Eastern Deity Island. Every one of them was an extraordinary figure.
Of course, the most dazzling ones were still Jiang Jiuming and Ye Futian. They left a deep impression on everyone!
