The battles continued. In the second battle, a powerful figure from the Summer State chose an opponent and defeated him.
After that, cultivators from the Qi State and the Cloud State continued to fight. The opponents they chose had one thing in common: they chose people who had yet to fully comprehend the rules.
Among the remaining people, there were still some who had yet to fully comprehend the rules. These people were obviously the targets.
Moreover, all the challengers had won without exception.
After all, most of the challengers challenged based on their opponents. They had already observed the previous battles. Generally speaking, there would not be any accidents if they fought before.
After seven battles, only the Yu State and the Barren State had yet to fight.
At that moment, someone from the Yu State walked out.
Ye Futian looked at the person from Yu State. His name was Kong Qing, and his Life Spirit was a demon elephant.
This naturally reminded Ye Futian of someone — Zhisheng Cliffs' Kong Yao, ranked ninth on the Sage Ranking of the Nine States.
Kong Yao had cultivated the power of the Divine Elephant to the extreme and could suppress a part of the world. Kong Qing was obviously far from Kong Yao. After all, the difference in level was too great, but his strength was still very strong. He might be the strongest person from Zhisheng Cliffs in this year's Nine State Forum. There was only one other person from Zhisheng Cliffs whose strength was on par with him.
Kong Qing was Kong Yao's personal disciple. He had changed his surname to Kong and had Kong Yao as his godfather. Because of Kong Yao's status in Zhisheng Cliffs, Kong Qing had received the best training. Even the saints of Zhisheng Cliffs would personally teach him.
At that moment, Kong Qing's eyes also fell on the Barren State.
Back then, Zhisheng Cliffs had suffered in the Barren State, and his godfather, Kong Yao, had also returned in defeat. He had been very unhappy and had been brooding over this.
Today was the first day of the Nine State Forum, and Yu Sheng had crippled Zhisheng Cliffs' Zhan Yao.
Now, it was time to settle the score.
He had heard that Brother Zhan Xiao had died on Taihang Mountain. He had gone to Taihang Mountain to destroy the apes and was killed.
Now, he would use the blood of the demonic beasts of Taihang Mountain to pay tribute to Brother Zhan Xiao and avenge Zhan Yao.
"I challenge Yuan Zhan of the Barren State," said Kong Qing. His opponent was an ape, and his Life Spirit was the Demonic Elephant. They were both skilled in strength and had some similarities. It was as if such a clash was destined.
"Zhisheng Cliffs seems to have something against the Barren State." Everyone had vaguely heard of the grudge between Zhisheng Cliffs, the sacred ground of Yu State, and the Barren State. It was said that even Renhuang had shown up.
"Kong Qing's powers are among the best among the disciples of Zhisheng Cliffs. I'm afraid Yuan Zhan is going to be eliminated."
"The Barren State has kept their lineup of eight for a long time. One of them was eliminated by Hua Yunshu in the first round. After this battle, six of the eight will be left. It seems that there are still too few of them. After this round, I wonder how many of the Barren State will be able to keep in the top 100," the crowd thought.
Ye Futian appeared very calm when he heard what Kong Qing said. From the previous battles, he could vaguely tell that Yu State would be the weakest state in this year's Nine State Forum. The younger generations of Zhisheng Cliffs were obviously not as strong as the ones from Summer State, Qi State, and War State.
Kong Qing was not weak, but he was definitely not too strong. It would not be easy for him to eliminate Yuan Zhan.
In the direction of Zhisheng Cliffs, Kong Yao, Qin Zhong, and the others also looked over.
"Junior Kong has also chosen people from the Barren State, but with your powers, you should be able to defeat Yuan Zhan," Qin Zhong said. Back then, he had come to the Holy Zhi Palace of the Barren State and defeated the disciples of the Holy Zhi Palace until he met Ye Futian outside.
However, the people that Ye Futian had brought to participate in the Nine State Forum were far stronger than the people that he had challenged at the Holy Zhi Palace. In the short span of a year, after Ye Futian became the Palace Lord, the Barren State had produced a batch of geniuses.
"Of course. While the Golden Great Apes are talented, they are still animals that only know how to use brute force," Kong Yao said plainly. Kong Yao said indifferently. He did not deliberately lower his voice, causing many experts from the holy lands to look at him.
Kong Yao was publicly humiliating the Golden Great Apes. However, with his powers as the ninth on the Sage Ranking, he had nothing to fear. If not for Sage Chunyang inviting Emperor Xia, that battle would have been the end of the Barren State's cultivators.
Ye Futian and Yuan Hong also heard Kong Yao's words. They looked over at the same time, but they saw that Kong Yao did not care about their gazes and was still looking at the battlefield before him.
Ye Futian's eyes were rather cold. He turned his eyes back to the forum stage.
Yuan Zhan walked out with huge steps. The Golden Great Ape's body was burly and golden light shone all over him, as if he had been born from gold. His entire body was filled with wild power.
"Kong Qing of Zhisheng Cliffs."
Kong Qing did not look at Yuan Zhan when he spoke. Instead, he lowered his head and played with his fingers, as if he was deliberately using this method to express his contempt for Yuan Zhan.
Yuan Zhan glanced at him and did not reply. He looked up at the elder at the edge of the forum stage and said, "Can we begin?"
"Yes." The elder nodded.
Kong Qing raised his head, his eyes suddenly turned sharp. An elephant trumpeting sound rang out as an incomparably gigantic demonic elephant appeared behind Kong Qing. Its tall and sturdy body was filled with boundless strength.
Yuan Zhan roared as well and his body became even more burly in an instant. The Golden Great Ape went berserk and stepped forward, causing the forum stage to shake violently.
"Bang."
Kong Qing also took a step forward like a divine elephant. An incomparably tyrannical power descended, and on the battlefield, there were actually many huge demonic elephant shadows that galloped forward at the same time, trampling on the ground.
Both of them had yet to truly clash, but they had already displayed extremely wild power.
Yuan Zhan raised his huge fist and smashed it forward with terrifying power. The golden aura of the fist tore through the air, crushing all the shadows of the Divine Elephants. However, Kong Qing's fist arrived as well. When his fist lashed out, the fist will was like that of the Divine Elephants. It was as if the Divine Elephants were rampaging, trampling the air and suppressing everything. It was the rule power of the Divine Elephants, derived from the rules of suppression and power, making it even more violent and powerful.
A deafening explosion was heard as the two of them separated. The huge golden ape's body was sent flying before crashing to the ground. Yuan Zhan landed on the ground with a loud rumble. He looked at Kong Qing, who had slid back a short distance. In a direct clash of power, he was at a disadvantage.
"The power of the Divine Elephant Rules, coupled with powerful methods, Yuan Zhan is naturally no match for him." Many people thought to themselves when they saw what happened. Kong Qing pulled his fist back and looked at Yuan Zhan coldly, with contempt in his eyes.
Yuan Zhan glared at his opponent. His aura was still as wild as ever. With a roar, his body expanded once again, becoming even larger, like a giant beast. Not only that, but terrifying beams of golden light pierced through his body, making his power even more powerful.
Yuan Hong's eyes flashed when he saw what happened and he looked at Ye Futian. In truth, he did not know how powerful Yuan Zhan was.
That was probably Sage Douzhan's body-enhancing methods, which he had passed on to Yuan Zhan. He was a demonic beast, and his battle form was his physical body. He opened the Seven Star acupoints and pierced through his body, making every muscle on his body stronger and more powerful.
Golden light shone on Yuan Zhan's body, and a golden storm whipped up in front of him, coalescing into a huge golden staff.
"Bang."
The golden staff landed before Yuan Zhan and the ground shook. Yuan Zhan extended both hands and clenched them. A terrifying aura swept out as he clenched his fists. Golden hair stood on end and those demonic eyes looked at Kong Qing. At that moment, Yuan Zhan's entire body was filled with extremely wild demonic aura. It was as if he had completely unleashed his true nature.
He was the Golden Ape, a ferocious ape that fought the heavens and the earth.
"Boom!"
With a loud rumble, Yuan Zhan leaped into the air, descending like a bolt of golden lightning above Kong Qing. The golden staff in his hand danced as he held it with both hands and brought it down below. At that moment, Kong Qing felt as if the world was about to collapse.
Yuan Zhan was much more powerful than before.
Kong Qing clenched his fists and the shadow of the Divine Elephant behind him melded with his body, turning him into a wild elephant. He raised his fist and punched the golden staff that was coming down at him. The Divine Elephant Suppresses the Heavens.
A loud rumble was heard and the shadow of the Divine Elephant collapsed. Yuan Zhan's body spun in the air and golden staff shadows appeared all over the sky, blocking out the sun and covering the sky.
Kong Qing took to the air as well, looking insufferably arrogant. Illusions of martial arts appeared all around him as the Divine Elephant suppressed the sky.
In the next moment, the attacks of the two collided again. The shadows of the staff and the Divine Elephant clashed, and the world around them went berserk. It was extremely terrifying.
"What wild power." Everyone's hearts trembled.
"It seems that this junior of Zhisheng Cliffs has picked a tough opponent to challenge," someone from a holy land said softly. At that moment, everyone could naturally see that Yuan Zhan had not really used all of his power before.
Kong Qing seemed to have picked the wrong opponent.
The air around them shook and roared. Terrifying tremors swept out. The Divine Elephant and the staff shadows flooded the space. No one knew how many times they had clashed, but everyone could feel how terrifying that power was.
Yuan Hong was a little moved. Yuan Zhan's power was now much stronger than he had been. If he were to continue to grow and follow Ye Futian, Yuan Zhan's future achievements would definitely be far greater than what he was now.
However, when he thought of the scene that Ye Futian had shown him, he did not find it strange. Everything was as it should be.
At that moment, a golden staff shadow covered the entire area of the forum stage and struck down from above. Many felt their hearts tremble. The power of that staff was simply astonishing.
Boom!
A deafening rumble was heard, and the crowd saw the shadow of the staff disappear. At the same time, a figure landed on the ground like a bolt of lightning. With a loud rumble, his body slammed hard onto the forum stage.
That figure was none other than Kong Qing of Zhisheng Cliffs.
"Kong Qing lost." Many people trembled, and Kong Yao and the others looked extremely grim.
Looking at Yuan Zhan, he was like a wild demon god, holding a golden staff and standing proudly in the air. He stared coldly at Kong Qing below. At that moment, he was extremely wild, and his demonic aura swept the area.
