Many looked in the direction of the Great Zhou Sacred Dynasty. Before, Zhou Ya of the Great Zhou Sacred Dynasty had confidently thought that Zhou You would win and had even asked Ye Futian.
Now, there were no more disciples of the Great Zhou Sacred Dynasty on the forum stage. All of them had been eliminated.
Zhou Ziyi and Zhou Zichao's expressions were ugly as well. The people who had annoyed her in Chess Saint Villa were now showing off on the Nine State Forum stage and even Zhou You had been seriously injured.
"Impressive." Zhou Ya suddenly smiled and looked up at Ye Futian. "It seems that Palace Lord Ye knows what level Yu Sheng's strength is at in the Nine State Forum."
"I didn't know before, but after so many battles, I naturally see more clearly," Ye Futian replied with a smile.
"In that case, Palace Lord Ye, do you think Yu Sheng, a disciple of the Holy Zhi Palace of the Barren State, will be able to make it to the top of the Nine State Forum?" Zhou Ya's eyes were sharp as he asked.
"Yu Sheng should have no problem making it to the top ten. As for where exactly, we'll see," Ye Futian said plainly.
Zhou Ya stared at Ye Futian, then smiled and said, "Palace Lord Ye has inherited the position of Palace Lord of the Holy Zhi Palace. There is no doubt that you are the number one of the younger generation in the Barren State. Yu Sheng is already so outstanding. Palace Lord Ye's talent must be unparalleled. If there is a chance, I would like to learn from you."
"There are many geniuses in this generation in the Barren State. If you want to learn from them, there will naturally be people who will accompany you," Gu Dongliu, who was beside Ye Futian, looked at Zhou Ya and said.
Zhou Ya glanced at Gu Dongliu. This person had been sitting there quietly, but looking at him closely, he was also a person with extraordinary temperament, like a handsome scholar.
"I look forward to it," Zhou Ya said plainly.
The Nine State Forum no longer had anything to do with the Great Zhou Sacred Dynasty. They had completely become spectators.
At that moment, Yu Sheng was still standing there and seemed to have no intention of leaving.
This caused many to look surprised. With the strength that Yu Sheng had shown, no one would challenge him even if he were to leave. He would definitely make it to the top ten.
There was no need for him to continue challenging others.
"Do you want to continue?" At that moment, the elder at the edge of the forum stage asked Yu Sheng.
"Yes." Yu Sheng nodded.
"After three seconds, if no one else wants to challenge us, we can continue," the elder said. "From now on."
As his voice fell, many people silently counted in their hearts.
Three seconds was but a moment.
On the forum stage, everyone was looking at Yu Sheng. Who else did he want to challenge?
"You can continue." The old man announced. No one walked out. According to the rules, Yu Sheng could continue to challenge others.
"Hua Yunshu of Xihua Sacred Mountain of the Eastern State," Yu Sheng said slowly. Countless gazes froze on him right away.
Yu Sheng challenged the number one noble of Xihua Sacred Mountain and the only one left from the sacred ground of the Eastern State, Hua Yunshu.
While Yaya was from the Eastern State, she was not from a sacred land.
Even the elder in charge could not help but narrow his eyes slightly. He glanced at Yu Sheng, who was also a member of Xihua Sacred Mountain.
"Hua Yunshu." In the grandstands, everyone stared at the burly figure on the forum stage. He could have advanced to the next round right away, but he chose to challenge Hua Yunshu, who was probably the most powerful figure in the Eastern State. What a crazy fellow.
A look of interest appeared on the Sky Saint's face. Before the Nine State Forum, everyone from all nine states had seen how Xihua Sacred Mountain treated the students of the Barren State and Yu Sheng, who walked out.
No one from all nine states took the Barren State seriously. Xihua Sacred Mountain, as the host, did not allow anyone from the Barren State to sit in the servant seats.
Yu Sheng was not happy and walked out.
Now, Yu Sheng had challenged Hua Yunshu before he even made it to the top ten. If Hua Yunshu were to lose, things would get interesting.
Everyone from Xihua Sacred Mountain looked at Yu Sheng. He was really crazy.
Hua Yunshu stepped forward and stood in front of Yu Sheng. He did not expect Yu Sheng to take the initiative to challenge him.
Then, the miracle that the Barren State had created would end here.
He would eliminate the remaining three from the Barren State, making them unable to make it to the top ten.
"This time, the Barren State came to participate in the Nine State Forum and was rude. I fought along the way and saw the strength of the geniuses of all nine states. Now, I finally have the honor of standing before the strongest student of Xihua Sacred Mountain." Yu Sheng's voice was serious and solemn as he said, "Yu Sheng, student of the Holy Zhi Palace of the Barren State. Please enlighten me."
Many looked at Yu Sheng. His words were humble and polite, impeccable. However, everyone was able to feel that behind the humility, there was an extremely wild emotion that wanted to be released.
Yu Sheng, a student of the Holy Zhi Palace of the Barren State, finally had the chance to challenge the strongest remaining from Xihua Sacred Mountain on the stage of the Nine State Forum.
Hua Yunshu looked at Yu Sheng and said, "Hua Yunshu, student of Xihua Sacred Mountain. Please enlighten me."
Both of them looked up at each other as soon as they finished speaking. Extremely intense fighting will shot towards each other.
Hua Yunshu lifted his feet and stepped forward. Loud rumbles were heard in an instant. Stone light appeared on Yu Sheng's body. It was as if he was about to be petrified and turned into a stone statue.
Dark golden light flowed on Yu Sheng's body. A vortex seemed to have appeared on the surface of his body, devouring the power that came at him in a frenzy. The stone light was being devoured by his body.
"Rules of Devouring."
Hua Yunshu extended his hand, and a terrifying storm of rocks whipped up in the air. Mountains made of rocks appeared one after another, towering and huge. They floated above Yu Sheng's head, and every single one of them was incredibly heavy. Combined with the power of gravity rules, they were able to suppress a part of the world.
Even those who were watching the battle from afar were able to feel an extremely oppressive aura.
Yu Sheng's battle form appeared once again. Terrifying golden light surrounded his body, making his towering battle form look like a god of war.
The mountains in the air came crashing down with a loud rumble. The mountains continued to crumble, but the battle form also withstood the terrifying power, shaking violently.
Boom, boom, boom … Mountains continued to fall, pressing on Yu Sheng's battle form and causing cracks to appear on it. At that moment, Hua Yunshu stepped out and turned himself into a mountain, stomping down on Yu Sheng's body.
Cracking sounds were heard as cracks appeared on the Douzhan Body. Yu Sheng raised his head and glanced at Hua Yunshu, who was in the air. Hua Yunshu looked down at him as well. More and more cracks appeared on the Douzhan Body. A terrifying wave of rocks covered the Douzhan Body, burying it within.
At the very next moment, Hua Yunshu's body shot up into the sky. His Life Spirit appeared, and the boundless power of the heavens gathered around him. A colossal statue of a stone god appeared behind him. At that moment, Hua Yunshu looked like a god.
"So powerful." Everyone looked at Hua Yunshu in shock. Is this the real Hua Yunshu? He is simply too powerful.
Hua Yunshu brought unparalleled power downwards at the very next moment. He brought his fiendish punch down with the boundless power of heaven and earth, landing on the huge rocks that covered Yu Sheng's body. A dull rumble was heard in the air in an instant. An extremely violent wave of rocks swept across the forum stage in a frenzy.
Even at the edge of the forum stage, many who did not participate in the battle were covered in rocks. It was as if the shockwaves were capable of petrifying people.
"This …" The hearts of many were pounding. The number one of Xihua Sacred Mountain, Hua Yunshu.
A glint of confidence was seen on the faces of those from Xihua Sacred Mountain. While Yu Sheng was powerful, it was impossible for him to defeat Hua Yunshu.
As the host of the Nine State Forum, there was no way that Xihua Sacred Mountain would not have nurtured a top-notch figure. Hua Yunshu could have stepped into the Sage Plane, but he suppressed his plane and stayed at the pinnacle of the Noble Plane, all for the sake of the Nine State Forum.
Yu Sheng wanted Hua Yunshu to not make it to the top ten?
Was that even possible?
The rocks exploded in a frenzy, revealing Yu Sheng's battle form, which then crumbled as well. Hua Yunshu's fist came crashing down with boundless power, destroying everything in its path. Yu Sheng's body was covered in rocks at that moment, as if he had been turned into a statue.
Hua Yunshu's fist did not stop there, continuing to come crashing down.
Boom! A deafening sound rang out, and the rocks covering Yu Sheng's body shattered. This blow was like the fist of a god that had landed on Yu Sheng's chest. The shattered rocks covered Yu Sheng's body again, and it seemed like it was going to petrify him.
That blow should have been able to tear a petrified person to pieces, but Yu Sheng's physical body was obviously strong enough, but it was useless.
"How are you going to stop me?"
Hua Yunshu's eyes were cold as he said arrogantly. His voice reverberated between heaven and earth.
His eyes were extremely sharp as he stared at Yu Sheng.
Time seemed to have frozen. Countless hearts beat wildly. Hua Yunshu's arrogant voice reverberated in everyone's ears, making him look so arrogant.
This battle will end Yu Sheng.
This battle should be over.
Will the miraculous rise of the sacred ground of the Barren State in the Nine State Forum end here?
Time seemed to pass very slowly, and the space was silent.
Hua Yunshu found that Yu Sheng was still looking at him.
Hua Yunshu seemed to have felt that look and frowned slightly. Why has Yu Sheng's organs not been crushed yet?
"Is this your strongest attack?" Yu Sheng looked at Hua Yunshu, who was right in front of him, and said. His tone was calm, but it sounded very cold to Hua Yunshu's ears.
Everyone's hearts trembled violently once again.
Is this your strongest attack?
He is actually still able to speak unscathed.
What does he mean by that?
Is such an attack not enough to destroy his body?
"Boom!" Boundless petrification power of rules surged into Yu Sheng's body in a frenzy from Hua Yunshu's fist, intending to petrify his organs. However, at that moment, he felt an extremely terrifying devouring power. Yu Sheng's body seemed to have turned into a terrifying vortex, devouring his power of rules in a frenzy. The vortex grew stronger and stronger, seemingly about to devour everything.
Hua Yunshu's expression changed drastically. He wanted to retreat, but he saw a terrifying light flowing on his body. It was like the light of darkness. Wisps of dark stone light covered his body. Very soon, he felt his body stiffen and become incredibly heavy. He found it difficult to move.
"How is this possible?" Hua Yunshu looked horrified.
He was not the only one. The great figures of Xihua Sacred Mountain shuddered when they saw what happened.
That was not devouring rules.
All the mighty ones from all nine states stared at Yu Sheng. A raging storm surged from Yu Sheng's body. Hua Yunshu's body was drowned in an instant. The dark rock light buried his body, as if returning all of Hua Yunshu's power to him.
Yu Sheng raised his arm before Hua Yunshu's despairing gaze. His demonic eyes stared at him coldly.
The elder hosting the Nine State Forum saw Yu Sheng raise his fist and his expression changed slightly. He said, "He has lost his ability to fight. Have mercy."
Yu Sheng looked up at the elder and continued to bring his arm down. Hua Yunshu's body was sent flying with a loud rumble, heading straight for the Eastern State.
"Boom!" Hua Yunshu's body hit the edge of the forum stage. His body trembled violently, and he fell to the ground, coughing up blood. He felt as if his organs were about to shatter.
Yu Sheng still punched out. He had been suppressing this punch for a long time.
But he had also shown mercy. That punch would have been enough to cripple Hua Yunshu otherwise.
However, he did not, because he knew whose turf he was at.
In the silent battlefield, countless pairs of eyes stared at Hua Yunshu, who was crawling to his feet.
Hua Yunshu, the arrogant number one disciple of Xihua Sacred Mountain, who some said could have taken first place in the Nine State Forum, had been eliminated.
He was not fated to make it to the top ten.
All the mighty ones from sacred grounds of the Eastern State were eliminated in this battle.
The strongest of Xihua Sacred Mountain and the strongest of the Great Zhou Sacred Dynasty were all sent out of the Nine State Forum by the same person. Yu Sheng, a student of the Barren State.
Before the Nine State Forum began, someone from the Barren State, whom no one cared about, had kicked the host forces out of the Nine State Forum in a shocking manner.
Since then, there was only one person left in the Eastern State who was not a disciple of a sacred ground: Yaya.
Who would have thought that this would happen?
Who would have thought that Yu Sheng would defeat Hua Yunshu with just one punch?
"Thank you." Yu Sheng looked at Hua Yunshu and said, then looked at the elder and said, "Please forgive me for injuring a disciple of the sacred mountain."
"It's alright." The elder's heart twitched. What else could he say within the rules?
"It's inevitable on the battlefield. There's nothing wrong with it." The Sky Saint looked at Yu Sheng and smiled. "The Nine State Forum is a competition between the disciples of all sacred grounds. It's the fiercest clash in all of the Nine States. Victory or defeat is determined by strength. You don't have to worry about it. If you think that the elders of a sacred ground are dissatisfied with you, you're underestimating the tolerance of the elders of a sacred ground."
The Sky Saint was right. Who could remain undefeated in the battles between the disciples of sacred grounds?
If a sacred ground were to settle scores openly, they would probably be looked down upon by all of the Nine States and become a laughingstock.
Ye Futian looked at Yu Sheng calmly. That being said, none of the sacred grounds of the Nine States had been in the same situation as the Barren State.
The Barren State was weak and had no saints.
The Sky Saint was actually speaking for them.
"What power of rules did you comprehend?" Saint Xihua looked at Yu Sheng and asked. He naturally understood what the Sky Saint was referring to, but as the lord of Xihua Sacred Mountain, even if he was displeased, he would not hold grudges against a junior. There was nothing to be said when one's skills were not as good as others.
If he lost face, then so be it. Even if he felt uncomfortable, there was nothing he could say.
"Demonization," Yu Sheng looked up at Saint Xihua and said.
Saint Xihua's expression was sharp. As expected, it was not the rules of devouring, but the even more overbearing demonization rules. He demonized the rules of petrification that he had devoured and used it for his own use. He blasted it on Hua Yunshu instead, making the latter unable to move after being demonized.
Furthermore, Yu Sheng's power rules were definitely stronger than Hua Yunshu's.
Hua Yunshu's defeat in this battle was not at all undeserved.
Saint Xihua looked at Yu Sheng for a long time, then looked at Ye Futian and said, "I never thought that after cultivating to this level, I would still be prejudiced. Before the Nine State Forum began, I looked down on the disciples of the Barren State because they were weak.
"Yu Sheng, he has won respect for the Barren State. He must have a place in the top ten. The arrangement of the Barren State's seats was my fault."
As Saint Xihua's voice faded, countless eyes froze.
Saint Xihua, the lord of a sacred ground, apologized!
When Yu Sheng walked out and wanted to win respect for the Barren State, Saint Xihua promised that as long as a disciple of the Barren State could make it to the top ten, he would give a divine implement and apologize.
Although the top ten had not yet been decided, Yu Sheng had defeated Zhou You and Hua Yunshu in a row. How else could he prove his strength?
As such, Saint Xihua fulfilled his promise and apologized.
No one felt that this was Saint Xihua's humiliation. On the contrary, many were secretly impressed. This is what a saint is like!
