As Ye Futian's voice landed, countless eyes focused on the white-robed figure in astonishment.
I, the Palace Lord, will give you some pointers!
Ye Futian, the Palace Lord of the Holy Zhi Palace of the Barren State, referred to himself as the Palace Lord for the first time, and he said in an arrogant tone that he would give Zhou Ya pointers.
To put it more bluntly, since you asked me for it, I will grant you your wish.
It was as if an elder was saying this to a junior, and a sense of pride emanated from him.
However, in reality, he had only just entered the Sage Plane. Zhou Ya was of the same generation as him, and his cultivation was no weaker than his.
As for his status, Zhou Ya was a prince of the Great Zhou Sacred Dynasty and was known as the heir to the Sacred King. In terms of holy lands, Ye Futian's status as the Palace Lord of a holy land was naturally more respected. However, he was the Palace Lord of a holy land of the Barren State that had fallen from grace, while the Great Zhou Sacred Dynasty was at its peak.
Zhou Ya's status was actually no lower than Ye Futian's. Moreover, the Chess Saint had chosen Liu Zong instead of Ye Futian, and that was evident.
However, Ye Futian had gone along with Zhou Ya's wishes this time. Since you asked for pointers, I will give you pointers as the Palace Lord of a holy land.
Many people immediately looked excited. The Barren State had been too dazzling in this year's Nine State Forum. Yu Sheng had taken first place, and everyone was curious about Ye Futian's talent and strength. Now, he finally did not hide his pride and walked out. Soon, they would be able to see just how strong the young leader of the Barren State was, and how would he compare to Yu Sheng?
Even the sages of the Eastern State raised their heads to look in that direction, appearing to be very interested.
Boundless, dazzling golden light shone from Zhou Ya's body, shrouding the sky above the forum stage in an instant. The silhouette of an incredibly huge golden phoenix materialized, flapping its wings. Boundless shadows of the phoenix streaked through the air towards Ye Futian, bringing with them a devastating aura.
"It is my honor to be able to give you pointers, Palace Lord Ye," Zhou Ya said. His voice was cold and authoritative. He had not expected Ye Futian to respond so forcefully. He wanted to see just how Ye Futian was going to give him pointers.
"You're welcome," Ye Futian replied plainly.
Ye Futian replied nonchalantly, and an extremely dazzling starlight screen lit up around his body. When the shadow of the golden phoenix lunged at him, it was completely blocked outside, unable to enter Ye Futian's body at all.
As the two of them chatted and laughed, they had already begun to fight.
Countless people held their breaths as they stared at Zhou Ya. As the huge wings of the golden phoenix behind him flapped, more and more golden phoenixes appeared in the air, taking on physical form. These golden phoenixes turned into terrifying storms that danced in the air. Their golden wings were extremely sharp, slicing through the air.
This scene was too gorgeous, as if a group of phoenixes had come to pay their respects.
"Zhou Ya is about to make his move."
Looking at the dazzling light in the air, the hearts of many trembled. Zhou Yanai had stepped into the Sage Plane more than a year ago. Now that his plane was stable and his rules had matured, he could move the world with a single thought.
Zhou Ya had once been known as the most powerful noble in the Great Zhou Sacred Dynasty. Although he had not been a sage for long, he was already hailed as the successor of the Sacred King by many, and his popularity was extremely high.
His talent allowed him to dominate the Great Zhou Sacred Dynasty.
Ye Futian was of the same plane as him, and as such, he stood out to ask for guidance from Ye Futian. However, under the circumstances of being of the same plane, who would be able to give guidance to the Great Zhou Sacred Dynasty's peerless genius?
Golden phoenixes that had taken on physical form rammed madly at Ye Futian's starlight defense, causing the screen of light to shake. Dazzling starlight flowed on the screen, as if it would explode at any moment, but it did not shatter and remained extremely stable.
"What a strong defense." Many people praised, but they were not surprised. As the leader of the Holy Zhi Palace, there were so many geniuses in the Barren State. How could Ye Futian be weak?
Zhou Ya's expression was one of incomprehension. The vast forum stage became incredibly chaotic. Many golden phoenixes flew about and gathered behind him. A terrifying storm appeared, and an even larger golden phoenix appeared with Zhou Ya at its center, merging with him as one. That pair of eyes were demonic, and golden lightning shot out, as though they were Zhou Ya's eyes. Incredibly huge wings shone brilliantly, and the golden light seemed to be able to tear the very air apart.
Voom. The gigantic golden phoenix flapped its wings, and an even more terrifying storm was born. Golden light rained down from the heavens and the earth, and the huge phoenix swooped down as well, flapping its wings and slicing through the air. Everyone looked at the sky above the forum stage and saw beams of golden light raining down, slicing the heavens and earth into pieces, heading straight for Ye Futian.
Many people's hearts raced. What a terrifying attack, and at that moment, Ye Futian was at the center of the storm. It seemed as if he would be cut into countless pieces.
Ye Futian looked up, and his eyes pierced through the phoenix that was coming at him, looking at the eyes of the largest phoenix. Those sharp eyes were filled with an overbearing aura, as well as a cold chill. Those were Zhou Ya's eyes.
At that moment, a formless power shrouded every corner of the forum stage. The raging storm seemed to have slowed down, and even the huge phoenix that was diving down seemed to have slowed down as well.
The space seemed to have frozen and solidified before that formless power.
"Space, freeze," Ye Futian said. As soon as he said this, the many golden phoenixes that were wreaking havoc stopped moving. It was as if they had all stopped moving at the same time. Thus, an extremely dazzling scene was born.
However, the huge phoenix silhouette continued to slash down, seemingly intending to cut through the power of rules that had frozen the space, and continued to charge at Ye Futian. That was a clash of rules.
Spatial rules were not invincible.
However, the speed at which the phoenix that Zhou Ya had turned into was now much slower.
"Power of spatial rules."
The eyes of the people from the Nine States sparkled. Ye Futian had also comprehended spatial rules, but he was different from Yaya. Yaya had comprehended spatial warping, while Ye Futian had comprehended spatial freezing rules, both of which were branches of spatial rules.
Countless people stared at the battlefield. They saw Ye Futian step out at the very next moment, turning into a beam of starlight that streaked through the space. The starlight was dazzling and dazzling, passing through the many frozen golden phoenixes and arriving right in front of Zhou Ya. He lashed out with an attack. It was difficult to see his movements clearly, and they were only able to vaguely make out what seemed to be a punch, crashing like a meteor onto the huge phoenix silhouette.
Boom!
A muffled rumble was heard, and everyone saw the huge golden phoenix being sent flying right away, crashing onto the edge of the forum stage like a golden beam of light.
"That power …" Many shuddered violently.
"Imbued with starry rules." The eyes of many great figures from the Nine States sparkled. Ye Futian's punch seemed simple, but it imbued the power of starry rules, which was infused into the fist technique. It was like a star crashing out. Despite the phoenix's huge size, it was still unable to withstand the impact and was sent flying.
Zhou Ya was sent flying with just one hit.
The hearts of many pounded in the silent space as they stared at the white-robed figure standing proudly in the shadows. So powerful.
The Great Zhou Sacred King's eyes were sharp as he stared at Ye Futian.
Ye Futian stood there quietly at that moment, looking at Zhou Ya, who was hovering in the air again, and said, "Flashy but impractical. Most of them are useless in battle. Don't use such tricks in the future."
"That …"
Everyone was speechless. Ye Futian was indeed giving Zhou Ya advice without holding back at all.
Zhou Ya took on the form of a golden phoenix, making it impossible to see his expression, but it must have been extremely ugly. One could tell from those extremely sharp eyes of his.
Both of them were of the same plane, and Ye Futian's words seemed like an insult to him.
Since when did he need Ye Futian to teach him?
A loud and clear phoenix cry was heard. The golden phoenix that Zhou Ya had taken on took to the air, bathing in golden divine fire, dazzling to the extreme. It then dived down, and boundless golden divine fire rained down. A terrifying storm cut everything in its path. Its might was simply earth-shattering, as if it was going to destroy everything in its path.
Ye Futian remained standing there calmly, staring at the figure that was diving down from the sky. Their surroundings turned into lightning all of a sudden. Boundless lightning flashed, and at the very next moment, incredibly thick lightning vines appeared in the space all of a sudden, lashing out at Zhou Ya.
Zhou Ya moved even faster, shuttling through the air. However, space-freezing rule will descended once again, and he could not help but slow down.
Lightning flashed all over the place, and the purple-gold lightning vines descended on the huge golden phoenix in an instant, wrapping around its body. It was as if a divine tree had appeared in the air, and it was the countless vines that had shackled Zhou Ya's body. Terrifying, devastating power surged into the phoenix's body at the same time, causing the huge phoenix to tremble and let out a loud cry.
Ye Futian extended his hand, and a huge purple-gold vine whip appeared, lashing down from the sky and lashing at the phoenix's head.
Crack … The purple-gold vine whip lashed down like the whip of a thunder god. The golden feathers on the phoenix's head exploded, and its huge body spasmed. Its spiritual will was under intense attack.
"Your attacks are too simple and simplistic, and they're too weak," Ye Futian continued to give pointers.
Extremely cold murderous intent burst from Zhou Ya's eyes. The golden phoenix's body seemed to have been set ablaze, becoming even more dazzling. It was as if a huge shadow of the phoenix had shot out, and the purple-gold vines that had shackled Zhou Ya continued to shatter.
Even so, the hearts of the people from all nine states shuddered. Is it really because Zhou Ya is weak that Ye Futian managed to shackle Zhou Ya with vines?
At that moment, the people of all nine states felt that there was yet another genius among them.
The young Palace Lord of a sacred ground of the Barren State was perhaps even more exceptional than they had imagined.
Be it Yu Sheng, Ye Wuchen, Xu Que, or the others, they were all students of the Barren State. Ye Futian was the Palace Lord of the Holy Zhi Palace, and everyone was willing to see him as the Palace Lord without any objections. Even when sacred grounds of all nine states wanted to poach their disciples, Yu Sheng and Xu Que rejected them right away, refusing to leave.
Someone as powerful as Zhou Ya, who was known as the successor of the Great Zhou Sacred Dynasty, was unable to even fight back before Ye Futian. It could have been said that Ye Futian had been cruelly abused.
At that moment, the phoenix that Zhou Ya had turned into was completely set ablaze. Golden divine fire shot out of his eyes, piercing through the air and shooting at Ye Futian's eyes. The sky was set ablaze, and the shadow of the phoenix continued to appear, piercing through the air in a dazzling display.
"That's the Great Zhou Sacred Dynasty's Golden Phoenix Battle Art. Zhou Ya is going all out this time. He's going to go all out against Ye Futian." The hearts of many trembled violently. The scene that appeared in front of them at this moment was too dazzling. The golden shadow of the phoenix pierced through the void and headed towards Ye Futian. Divine flames shot out of its eyes and fell into Ye Futian's eyes.
Zhou Ya was unable to endure such a humiliating battle.
As a prince of the sacred dynasty and known as the successor of the sacred dynasty, he was unable to bear such a humiliating defeat. It would have been a stain on the Great Zhou Sacred Dynasty's reputation.
Ye Futian lifted his head and looked at Zhou Ya. His eyes turned incredibly demonic as well, colliding with Zhou Ya's eyes. It was like a terrifying black hole, devouring the divine fire that shot out of Zhou Ya's eyes right away.
At the very next moment, Zhou Ya felt as if he had been placed in a world of Eye Sorcery. He saw an incredibly terrifying spiritual storm, causing his eyes to become completely blurry. Ye Futian's silhouette appeared in his eyes, and terrifying purple lightning attacked his spiritual will right away, causing the huge body of the phoenix to be covered in terrifying lightning radiance. The terrifying power contained in its body seemed to have been stripped away bit by bit, and its body trembled slightly.
"You've probably only become a sage not too long ago, and your mind is not solid. While your talents are passable, you're impatient and have a high opinion of yourself. However, your powers are not enough to match your arrogance. You still need to hone your skills," Ye Futian said plainly. His voice rang out in the air, and his body disappeared as soon as he finished, reappearing right before the phoenix. He lashed out with a finger, which landed on the phoenix's head. The finger pierced through the phoenix's head and attacked Zhou Ya, who was still inside.
Zhou Ya felt as if his head was about to explode. He screamed in pain, and boundless golden light burst. Flames and wings danced in the air, and his body reappeared, falling from the sky.
Zhou Ya landed on the ground, holding his head with both hands. He felt a splitting headache, and he looked extremely wretched.
"Enough."
A cold voice was heard. The Great Zhou Sacred King's voice penetrated Zhou Ya's head, and only then did Zhou Ya calm down. His face was as pale as a sheet, and his forehead was covered in sweat.
He clenched his fists and raised his head to look at Ye Futian in the air. His eyes were extremely cold, and there was no trace of the proud bearing he had before.
Seeing Zhou Ya's current state, many felt pity for him.
When they looked at Ye Futian again, their eyes were somewhat different.
This young Palace Lord of the Barren State was simply too terrifying.
The battle that day was enough to leave a lasting impression on Zhou Ya, and it was said to be Zhou Ya's nightmare.
"Focus on stabilizing your state of mind in the future. Don't be impatient and think too highly of yourself." Ye Futian glanced at Zhou Ya plainly. He did not feel any pity for the man's wretched state. Some people did not deserve pity.
He lifted his head and looked at the Great Zhou Sacred King, bowed and said, "I overstepped my bounds and gave Zhou Ya some pointers. Please forgive me, Sacred King."
He returned to his seat as soon as he finished, waving his robes as he took his seat. His bearing was extraordinary!
