Everyone from the other eight states looked at the one-armed Ye Wuchen. After a round of battles, the Barren State had unknowingly drawn the attention of the mighty ones from all nine states.
This was something that no one had expected. Before the Nine State Forum began, everyone thought that the 30-odd people from the Barren State were just there to serve as foils. Under such rules, those from the Barren State would have been eliminated. However, after a round of more than 30 battles, the Barren State had won more than a dozen of them, and the other eight states had split the remaining 20 or so victories.
The Barren State alone had half of the victories. In addition, Yu Sheng had once again overpowered Zhou Xian. As such, when Ye Wuchen walked out, he seemed to attract a lot of attention.
"What he specializes in is the Illusory Sword Rules, combining illusions and swordsmanship into one." Everyone looked at the one-armed figure and said. Ye Wuchen had already fought once before, and this was his second battle.
"I don't know how strong he is without facing him head-on, but his swordsmanship attacks are terrifying. Coupled with illusions, he must be a great threat." Many on the grandstands discussed.
"Luohou Palace should be able to win this battle." At that moment, a mighty one from the Vajra Region of War State said from the south, looking at Luohou Palace. They were all from War State, and it was only natural that they knew each other better. The one from Luohou Palace for this battle was not to be underestimated.
"What's the point of winning this battle?" The mighty one from Luohou Palace said casually. He was also very confident, as if he was determined to win this battle.
Saint Xihua heard what was said and smiled. "It seems that the one from Luohou Palace is no ordinary one. If so, let's wait and see."
The ones from the Eastern State were still the students of Xihua Sacred Mountain. Just as Sage Wanxiang had predicted, the ones from sacred grounds would be the first to finish their rounds of battles. After about 400 battles, Xihua Sacred Mountain had the most participants, and as such, Xihua Sacred Mountain of the Eastern State had the most participants.
That person looked at Ye Wuchen and said, "After this round, the Barren State still has more than a dozen people left. I'd like to see how long these dozen from the Barren State can last."
Whoosh … A sword will descended all of a sudden. As soon as he finished, the one-armed figure moved, heading straight for him at incredible speed.
He actually attacked right away, and he was extremely decisive.
"Boom." He took a step forward, and a powerful force descended upon the world. Layers of extremely thick defensive rule power appeared in the surroundings. It was the rule power of the earth, and it prevented anyone from getting close.
It was obvious that he was also a cultivator who had comprehended rules. Otherwise, he would not have provoked Ye Wuchen.
Ye Wuchen pointed at the void, and in an instant, thousands of sword wills flowed between heaven and earth.
"Break!" Ye Wuchen's arm moved forward and his finger pressed down on the mighty one of Xihua Sacred Mountain below. Thousands of sword wills turned into a terrifying spiral vortex in an instant. A black hole of swords seemed to have appeared in the space before him, and the sound of explosions continued to be heard. The expression of the mighty one from Xihua Sacred Mountain changed slightly. He took another step and a powerful shadow appeared behind him.
Suddenly, with his body as the center, layers of earth walls appeared. Powerful defensive rule power flowed on them, making them indestructible.
However, the spiraling sword qi storm descended from the sky like a galactic storm, directly penetrating through, causing the defensive spells to break open numerous dark holes in the middle, killing its way forward.
"Shredding rules." Many people looked puzzled. Ye Wuchen's power of the sword contained the power of shredding rules, which was known for its offensive prowess. When integrated with the sword qi storm, it was obviously of a higher level than the rule power of the earth. As such, it tore through his opponent's defenses and went for the mighty one from Xihua Sacred Mountain.
The expression of the mighty one from Xihua Sacred Mountain changed drastically. Light of rules coursed within his body, and the surface of his body seemed to have turned into the earth, becoming one with heaven and earth. The power of heaven and earth became his defense. However, when the terrifying vortex storm descended, it shattered the surface of his body and sent him flying. The defense on the surface of his body was completely torn apart. Streaks of sword qi penetrated his skin, but they did not kill him. It was obvious that Xihua Sacred Mountain had shown mercy.
When he fell to the ground, his face was pale. He took one look at Ye Wuchen, then bowed slightly and turned to leave.
It was obvious that he was thanking Ye Wuchen for showing mercy and not killing him.
"Other than the Illusory Sword rules, he also has mature shredding rules. He is definitely a rare genius. It seems that the people from the Barren State are not as simple as they seem," a mighty one said. The people on the grandstands realized this as well. Back when Ye Futian and his party had rung the Law Bell at the foot of Xihua Sacred Mountain, they had merely struck it casually, and a pattern had lit up on the Law Bell.
It was obvious that they were just getting their tickets to the Nine State Forum in advance and had no intention of showing off.
And now, on the stage of the Nine State Forum, they had truly begun to show off their powers.
The other mighty ones stared at the one-armed figure in the air and released faint auras. Many of them had not even comprehended mature rules. It was obvious that they knew that it was impossible to defeat Ye Wuchen, so they had no choice but to join forces and try.
Ye Wuchen took a look at the sky below and moved his mind. He extended his palm, and in an instant, a terrifying storm of sword aura swept above the sky. Countless streaks of sword will rampaged between heaven and earth, then turned into seven storms of sword aura, and there were seven mighty ones below him.
"Go," Ye Wuchen said. Ye Wuchen spat out. Suddenly, seven streaks of sword aura shot towards the seven mighty ones below. The air was flooded by the sword aura, and the shredding rules were integrated into the sword aura.
Bang, bang, bang! Sounds were heard one after another, and the people below were pushed back one by one.
Had another existence from the Barren State appeared to be able to sweep away everyone?
Many looked at the one-armed figure standing proudly. His white robes fluttered in the wind, and sword will surrounded him like a one-armed sword god.
"Huh?"
"There's still one more."
At that moment, many people narrowed their eyes and looked down. There was still one mighty one who had not been pushed back by the sword aura. He stood below, and a terrifying dark aura appeared around his body. Everyone was shocked to find that the mighty one actually opened his mouth, allowing the terrifying sword aura to descend upon him. He swallowed it in one gulp, until the sword aura was completely devoured and disappeared.
"Devouring rules." Countless eyes were fixed on the figure. Devouring rules were also a very rare rule, and very few could comprehend such rules. It was said that when trained to the highest level, one could devour everything in the world.
"Who is he?" The crowd in the grandstands asked. They had thought that Ye Wuchen would be able to sweep away all the mighty ones from the eight states, and they did not expect such a sudden change.
This person was very powerful.
"He's from War State, from Luohou Palace."
"It is said that Luohou Palace of War State is very terrifying, and their abilities are unpredictable. This person must be a genius that Luohou Palace trained themselves." Many people discussed. Other than the students of holy lands, there were also people who did not come from holy lands who wanted to participate in the Nine State Forum. They came with holy lands after being selected, similar to how Ye Futian gathered Li Futu and cultivators from top clans to participate in the Nine State Forum.
However, this person was probably a student of Luohou Palace.
Not only that, but he was also an extremely genius among them.
"Sword." Ye Wuchen's expression did not change much. He extended his hand and thousands of sword wills gathered in the air above him, howling in a frenzy and coalescing into a dazzling giant sword. Every strand of sword will within it contained the power of shattering rules. The giant sword emanated majesty, as if it was the Great Way of the Sword of Destruction.
"Go."
A voice was heard and the giant sword tore through the air, falling down. The space seemed to be on the verge of being torn apart.
However, at that moment, a huge demonic shadow appeared behind the mighty one from Luohou Palace. It looked ferocious and terrifying, and it had four arms. The huge demonic shadow swept towards the shattering sword in the air, opening its mouth and swallowing it.
Extremely dazzling light burst from within the body of the demonic shadow, and the demonic body exploded. However, the giant sword lost its power at the same time.
"A clash of the power of rules, a showdown between the strong." The eyes of many gleamed with sharpness. More demonic shadows appeared on the bodies of the mighty ones from Luohou Palace, devouring the power around them. That huge shadow grew even more arms, and its body continued to grow, as if it could devour the power of heaven and earth to strengthen itself.
The demonic arms grabbed at Ye Wuchen. Sword aura burst from Ye Wuchen's body, slashing at the arms while his body rose.
A terrifying devouring power descended in the air. Ye Wuchen felt his body being pulled by a huge force, as if he had been sucked into a vortex. He looked up into the air with an extremely sharp expression.
That was the first time he fought against someone of such a level after training in the Sage Hall. It was also the reason why Ye Futian led them out of the Barren State. It was only in the outside world that they would be able to encounter powerful opponents and progress further.
"This …" Many shuddered at the sight of the demonic shadow that grew in a frenzy. Ye Wuchen was at a disadvantage. Is another genius from the Barren State about to be eliminated?
At that moment, Ye Wuchen lowered his head and looked below. The mighty one from Luohou Palace looked cold. Ye Wuchen vaguely felt that something had changed at that very moment, but he was unable to see it clearly.
There was no time to think. Ye Wuchen waved thousands of sword auras in the air, sweeping towards the mighty one from Luohou Palace. His expression was cold as he unleashed devouring power to its fullest. One arm after another drowned the storm of swords. The demonic head chased after Ye Wuchen's body, and a terrifying devouring vortex was born, finally devouring Ye Wuchen in a single gulp.
However, at that moment, the mighty one from Luohou Palace suddenly felt a strong sense of danger. Ye Wuchen, who was devoured by the demonic head, turned into nothingness right away, and a sword aura that could shatter everything fell from the sky.
"Illusory Swordsmanship." His expression changed slightly, knowing that he had been hit by an illusory sword.
At the very next moment, Ye Wuchen charged at him with towering sword will. The huge demonic head roared at the sky and clashed with Ye Wuchen head-on. The huge sword clashed with the demonic body, and an extremely powerful shattering power tore the demonic body apart. However, the powerful devouring power was about to devour Ye Wuchen's body at the same time.
"Oh no." The expression of the mighty one from Luohou Palace changed again, and he felt an even stronger sense of danger. An extremely dazzling silver light penetrated the demonic body right away from Ye Wuchen's body. The devouring rules were unable to withstand it, and the silver light shot into his mind right away, shattering his spiritual will power.
"Boom!" His head shook violently, and his consciousness blurred. The demonic body crumbled into nothingness at the very next moment. When he regained consciousness, he saw that Ye Wuchen's sword was already at his throat, and it was bone-chilling.
He stared at Ye Wuchen and said, "Infusing swordsmanship rules into an attack of spiritual will. What is the name of this attack?"
"It has no name," Ye Wuchen said. That was a sword attack that he developed himself.
"Since it has the ability to slay spiritual will, it can be called the God Slayer." He then added, "You win."
He turned around and left the battle platform as he said.
He was a renowned figure in Luohou Palace of War State. He came to participate in the Nine State Forum with the intention of making a name for himself, and he did not expect to be eliminated in a single battle. However, his loss was justified. The swordsman from the Barren State was very powerful.
Seeing the student of Luohou Palace leave, everyone at the grandstands stared at Ye Wuchen.
He actually defeated such a powerful student of Luohou Palace.
The ones from War State were the most shocked.
The Barren State had once again overpowered the mighty ones from the other eight states and won. This time, a very powerful genius from Luohou Palace was eliminated.
It seemed that it would not be easy to eliminate the ones from the Barren State!
