The war drums were broken, but the sound of the drums still reverberated in the air. Ye Futian's arrogant voice still echoed in everyone's minds.
At the peak of Mirror Mountain, Xiao Wuji was choosing a clan. It was his first time in the Mirror Mountain relic and he displayed unparalleled talent. He could easily comprehend and communicate with the statues of various elements, leave an image on the Wall of Reflection, beat the drum nine times, and appear the Noble image.
Ye Futian beat the drum after Xiao Wuji.
To many people, he was overestimating himself. With Xiao Wuji's talent, anyone else's performance would be out of place.
Everyone thought that no one in the Ancient Barren World could compare to Xiao Wuji. The glory he'd created wouldn't be broken for a long time.
But was that true?
Xiao Wuji hadn't left yet. Ye Futian used his actions to tell everyone who said Xiao Wuji couldn't be surpassed.
Sixteen beats of the drum, the natural phenomenon, the drum intent poured in, and then it exploded.
The drum was broken and the record ended here forever.
This was the true record.
Xiao Wuji's record was a record that could be broken.
Countless eyes stared at his back. Ye Futian seemed to be still feeling the intent pouring into his body. His white robe fluttered even though there was no wind.
A strange look appeared in Liu Chenyu's eyes. Page boy?
She glanced at Ye Wuchen beside her. Ye Wuchen's expression was calm as if he didn't find this strange at all. It was as if this was how it should be.
He probably had absolute faith, Liu Chenyu thought. Ye Wuchen thought that Ye Futian and Yu Sheng's talent was above the top geniuses of the Eastern Barren Territory.
Now, Ye Futian seemed to be proving what Ye Wuchen had said before. At least for now, he had indeed surpassed Xiao Wuji.
Liu Chenyu turned around slowly and looked in the direction of Tang Ye and Xiao Wuji.
Tang Ye, the College's mad disciple, also had a strange expression. Hua Qingchi was the same.
Those who know me understand my arrogance.
Those who don't know me, why not abandon them?
Was this sentence a response to them?
As expected, he was arrogant enough.
"It can still continue after nine beats. If you knew, you could do it too," Tang Ye said. Clearly, he was talking to Xiao Wuji.
Xiao Wuji gazed at the broken drums. This was the first time he had come to the peak of Mirror Mountain and the first time he had beaten the drums. After nine beats, all nine drums sounded at the same time and the will flowed in. Everything was showing signs of perfection. He hadn't expected to continue.
If he knew, he would naturally be able to continue.
If others could do it, how could he not do it?
"Of course." Xiao Wuji nodded. This was his confidence in his own strength. Of course, the drum was broken, so there was no way to prove it.
Everyone nodded at Xiao Wuji's words. Ye Futian had indeed shocked them, but with Xiao Wuji's talent, he should be able to do it too.
Finally, Ye Futian's body moved. He slowly turned around and walked in another direction.
Many people's eyes lit up when they saw him.
The area he was walking towards was where the image on the wall was. Xiao Wuji had broken the record here.
Could it be...
Many people had a strange feeling. Did this guy want to walk through the relic that Xiao Wuji had walked through?
Was he serious?
Did Ye Futian want to compete with Xiao Wuji?
Ye Futian had no intention of competing with Xiao Wuji. It was just that his goal in coming to Mirror Mountain was to choose a clan. Xiao Wuji had already set a precedent. If he wanted to achieve his goal, the easiest way was to break Xiao Wuji's record.
Who could doubt him now?
Of course, perhaps this was an excuse Ye Futian gave himself. The real reason was that he was very unhappy.
He was unhappy with Tang Ye's attitude and Hua Qingchi's. Previously, he didn't retort. Words were useless. What was more powerful than action?
Didn't the Donghua Clan and College ignore him because of Xiao Wuji?
Since that was the case, then let's watch carefully!
Before the image on the wall, a faint light flashed. The stone was like a mirror. At this time, Ye Futian stood before it.
At the top of the mountain, everyone's eyes fell on him. He became the only focus.
In reality, many people had come for him when he'd taken the demoness as his servant. But Xiao Wuji had come to choose a sect. This had taken away all the light. In everyone's eyes, there was only Xiao Wuji. There was no room for anyone else.
But now, Ye Futian was once again the center of attention.
Could he still break Xiao Wuji's record with the image on the wall?
The stone glowed faintly and enveloped Ye Futian's body. In that instant, Ye Futian felt his will being swallowed by the stone.
In an instant, Ye Futian felt countless wills. They were the wills of different cultivators.
He lifted his feet and took a step forward. In an instant, countless wills pressed down on him. For a moment, he was under extreme pressure.
"One inch of image on the wall." Outside, everyone saw Ye Futian's illusory figure appear on the stone and imprint itself on it.
Ye Futian continued forward. Soon, the figure sank two inches, three inches …
At this moment, Ye Futian seemed to understand something. With every step he took, the will pressure grew stronger. It wasn't just the stone's will but also the will left behind by the predecessors.
This stone stele was extremely strange. If one wanted to leave an inch of shadow on the Reflection Wall, they would have to face the will pressure of the people who had left an inch of shadow on the stone stele. The further one went, the stronger the pressure. If one wanted to break the record, they would have to bear the will pressure of all the people who had left an inch of shadow on the stone stele.
So some people said that the deeper the image, the more terrifying the talent. Breaking the record was equivalent to surpassing all the predecessors' will.
Before long, Ye Futian left an image seven inches on the wall.
Many people trembled and couldn't help but feel nervous.
Gu Biyue stared unblinkingly at Ye Futian. Seven inches on the wall was the record before Xiao Wuji's arrival. Now, Ye Futian had reached this step. Was his talent so terrifying?
It seemed that it wasn't an injustice that the Witch Seed Melody had lost to him.
This guy's will was indeed terrifying.
"Seven inches. Just one more step and he'll tie Xiao Wuji's record." Everyone stared at Ye Futian. At that moment, Ye Futian took another step forward. In an instant, a terrifying light bloomed on the stone tablet. It was as if an endless amount of willpower was crazily suppressing Ye Futian's willpower.
But his body didn't move. Gradually, his image was eight inches on the wall.
He'd tied the record.
What Xiao Wuji had done, he'd done again.
Tang Ye had said that Xiao Wuji was unparalleled in the Ancient Barren World. Was he really unparalleled?
Then what was the Ye Futian he'd humiliated?
Moreover, Ye Futian still didn't seem to have any intention of leaving.
He lifted his foot again and stepped forward. It was as if he was going to carve his body into the stone.
On the stone, Ye Futian's image was nine inches.
Xiao Wuji's previous record hadn't even lasted two hours and Ye Futian had already broken it.
Everyone was speechless. They didn't know what to say.
Even Xiao Wuji's eyes rippled. He hadn't used his full strength on the Image on the Wall but Ye Futian had broken his record twice. It was still terrifying and qualified to be mentioned in the same breath as him. He didn't think that there would be someone like this in the Ancient Barren World. Also, he didn't seem to belong to any top force.
"Who is he?" Xiao Wuji asked Tang Ye beside him. He rarely cared about others but Ye Futian clearly piqued his interest.
"Ye Futian," Tang Ye replied.
After nine inches, Ye Futian didn't continue. Breaking the record was enough. The stone tablet couldn't bring him any tangible benefits.
So, he stopped here.
Ye Futian lifted his foot and left the stone tablet area. He returned to the statue area where he'd been cultivating.
At this time, strands of sharp intent descended. The people of the Fuyun Sword Clan walked over. Li Daoyun was among them.
They couldn't let Ye Futian continue.
He'd already broken the record twice. All the top forces were interested in him.
However, Ye Futian could join any force but the Fuyun Sword Clan.
Li Daoyun had cut off one of Ye Wuchen's arms.
How could this hatred be resolved?
Seeing Li Daoyun walk over, Ye Wuchen and Loulan Xue both walked before Ye Futian, blocking the Fuyun Sword Clan's path.
Liu Chenyu and Liu Feiyang also stepped forward, blocking the Fuyun Sword Clan's path.
Seeing that the Fuyun Sword Clan wanted to attack Ye Futian, the top forces couldn't help but walk forward and approach the statue area.
Tang Ye and Xiao Wuji also approached. Seeing Ye Futian standing before a flame statue, Tang Ye said, "Xiao Wuji has already reached his limit in this area. There's no point in communicating with him. If you really want to compete with him, go to the Mirror Mountain Stone Wall and prove your talent."
Clearly, Tang Ye was interested in Ye Futian now. He wasn't as disdainful as before.
Ye Futian looked at Tang Ye with a strange expression and said, "Before, you said that you didn't like the way I did things. However, whether you like it or not, that's your business. But now, I really hate you. So, please shut up about my business." Tang Ye looked at Ye Futian strangely.
Everyone's eyes froze. Ye Futian was responding to Tang Ye's arrogant words.
Tang Ye's gaze froze and he stared at Ye Futian. Then he laughed coldly and said, "Even if your talent is outstanding enough, a place like the College is still the most suitable place for cultivation. What's the point of letting your emotions affect your decisions and cutting off your own path with just one sentence?"
"You offended the Fuyun Sword Clan as a Second-level Dharma Plane cultivator and took Gu Biyue from the Witch Clan as your servant. Have you thought about the consequences? Isn't that stupid?"
Even now, Tang Ye didn't think what he'd said was wrong. If Ye Futian didn't enter the College, it was his own loss. What did it have to do with Tang Ye?
"Stupid?"
Ye Futian did not pay attention to Tang Ye. He looked at the huge flame statue. Then, from the statue, a strong flame enveloped him. Very quickly, it enveloped his body.
Then, just like Xiao Wuji, Ye Futian melted into the flame statue. He seemed to be comprehending inside the statue.
Ye Futian seemed to be proving that if Xiao Wuji could do it, he could too.
Was that all?
At this time, the flame statue seemed to go berserk. The surrounding Spiritual Qi surged into the statue. Ye Futian's body seemed to be completely melded into the statue, becoming a part of it.
A terrifying flame aura flowed. In the next moment, a pair of huge eyes suddenly opened. Fire shot out from the huge eyes. Those were the statue's eyes.
At this moment, the statue's eyes seemed to be alive. It slowly turned and looked at Xiao Wuji.
In the next moment, under everyone's shocked gazes, the huge statue actually moved.
The enormous flame statue turned around and moved its feet to face Tang Ye.
Then an extremely domineering voice slowly spat out from the statue.
"My world is not something you can understand!"
