Chapter 2567: No, You Can’t

“You, The Unraveled, can you take this shot from me!”

This voice resounded throughout Tianyan City, and those who heard it trembled in their souls.

Indeed, Ye Futian had been purely on the defensive before this moment, and w.a.n.g Xiao was the one doing all the attacks. However, even with the astonis.h.i.+ng power of the Sky Tremoring Hammer, he was not able to really hurt Ye Futian. Such powerful attacking technique only managed to slam him down a couple of times, demonstrating the terrifying defensive power that Ye Futian possessed.

However, it was true he had not launched any attacks yet!

Will his attack be as frightening as his defense?

Could w.a.n.g Xiao take the shot from him?

He was simply too arrogant. w.a.n.g Xiao had demonstrated his peerless talent at the Armoring feast this time, but Ye Futian asked if he could take a shot from him!

How powerful was this strike going to be?

w.a.n.g Xiao surveyed the land below, and his eyes were ice-cold. Those eyes seemed to be surrounded by golden flames. An endless scorching current swept out to smelt everything in this world; the domain of the Great Path seemed to have been transformed into a domain of golden flames.

At the same time, the celestial figure above the firmament lifted a boundless giant divine hammer. Rounds of shock waves swept down to the s.p.a.ce beneath the sky, overlapping again and again. What terrifying power would 108 thousand shock waves hold?

w.a.n.g Xiao was a cultivator of the Tribulation Plane. Every attack of his contained the terrifying power of divine tribulation of the Great Path. One shock wave was terrifying enough, let alone 108 thousand waves. In this realm, he was absolutely someone who stood at the top of his kind. In the entire Divine Prefecture, it was difficult to find anyone to compete with him in this realm.

The City Lord of Tianyan City was an incredible and astute man himself, and he could not possibly fail to understand this, or else he would not have held w.a.n.g Xiao in such high esteem, conferred the t.i.tle of The Unraveled upon him. He even had thoughts of linking w.a.n.g Xiao with the treasured daughter of Donghuang the Great.

It was precisely because of w.a.n.g Xiao’s excellence that he had such an idea.

Buzz! With Ye Futian as the center, a trace of invisible Great Path rippled outward and diffused. There was an incomparable halo that covered him, and the light screen grew larger. It was the Light of Buddha.

Surrounded by the infinite Buddhist runes, Buddhas now appeared in the heavens. At this time, these Buddhas were simultaneously chanting the Sounds of Buddha and uttering the Six Syllables of Truth. Suddenly, a mighty and sacred power of Buddhism permeated the s.p.a.ce, propelling the light screen to expand outward.

Boom! A dull thud was heard. Above the firmament, the Sky Tremoring Hammer was the first to blast down. In turn, the infinite shock wave seemed to morph into countless divine hammers, smas.h.i.+ng down towards the s.p.a.ce below. At the same time, in the center of the 108 thousand shock waves, a smas.h.i.+ng divine hammer appeared, splitting the s.p.a.ce wide open. It was as if the void was punched through, and all that force was rus.h.i.+ng toward Ye Futian.

Ye Futian raised his left hand almost at the same moment; it was as if the Buddha had raised his own hand and slammed it forward. Suddenly, the Buddhas in the heavens raised their hands at the same time as ma.s.sive Buddhist handprints slammed out, colliding with those countless divine hammers blasting down from the sky. A fervently blazing Light of Buddha continued to spread upward, colliding with the descending shock waves.

Dull sounds came out, and high above the sky, a halo of destruction swept out towards the surroundings, and the atmosphere was extremely suppressed.

Ye Futian’s body disappeared; it was as if it had been turned into a light, a spear.

That light went up against the momentum as the will of the spear rushed straight into the sky. In the ascending process, not only did the long spear move unhindered without the slightest resistance, but waves of fluctuations also appeared around the spear, overlapping together, condensing into a perfect spear strike.

The two rays of light clashed together as the divine hammer in the center collided with the spear. The former was domineering and carried a terrifying power, while the latter was sharp with equally overwhelming power.

Boom! Many people felt as if their eardrums had ruptured. An invisible wave of destruction covered the entire Tianyan City. An unknown many innocent cultivators must have been hit yet again by this wave of immolation. Those closest to the City Lord’s Office were all cultivators in the Renhuang Realm, but the shock still made them bleed from their orifices even though the battlefield was high in the sky, a long distance away from them.

However, as hard as the hits might be, those eyes were still fastened on that s.p.a.ce high above, as all of them looked up; they didn’t want to miss this incomparable strike.

How would this attack end?

They saw a ray of light that split the sky open. Above the arch of heaven, a golden vortex seemed to have appeared. In the vortex, there were terrifying fluctuations that rushed higher into the sky. In the middle of that vortex, a sharp divine spear that had opened the sky was looming.

The scene in front of them was shocking; the silence was particularly prominent in Tianyan City right now. There were only the dull cras.h.i.+ng sounds and the boundless depressive aura.

Even the sky had been split open?

A light appeared in that s.p.a.ce that had been torn apart. Their eyes followed the light and looked up and saw what was at the end of that golden vortex. When they made out what was happening there, their hearts involuntarily skipped a beat.

Boom, boom, boom, boom…

Below, at the end, a dull but terrifying sound wave swept out, as if there were ripples that had not totally quieted down, but the battle was effectively over.

After a while, when everything finally settled down, those layers of golden light screens were still there, as remnants of the will of the spear left in the sky, turning into a golden divine light, as if it would not easily dissipate.

“One strike!”

The eyes of all the cultivators were frozen, and the entire Tianyan City was in complete silence at this moment, even inside the City Lord’s Office.

Above the firmament, Ye Futian stood there like a G.o.d, and the long spear in his hand was no longer pointing at w.a.n.g Xiao’s phantom but his throat. If he had advanced another inch, he could take w.a.n.g Xiao’s life.

Could he have taken a shot from Ye Futian?

w.a.n.g Xiao, the Young City Lord of Tianyan City, as the champion in this Armorer Compet.i.tion, had enjoyed all the glory on this day. He had the supreme support of the City Lord of Tianyan City himself, promoting him and naming him as the future lord of Tianyan City so that he could lead the cultivators from Divine Prefecture to eradicate Ye Futian and vanquish Ziwei.

However, at this moment, another well-known genius talent appeared. His name had shaken all of the Divine Prefecture even before w.a.n.g Xiao. He was now the biggest player in all the lands of the Divine Prefecture, whose name was known to everyone. He led his team to invade and destroy the Holy Land of Taichu and slayed Taichu Saint Emperor.

Today, these two peerless characters finally met and collided with one another.

And w.a.n.g Xiao was defeated!

In this world, who was the truly Unraveled other than the Great Emperors?

They thought w.a.n.g Xiao was. But if that was true, what about Ye Futian?

He was only a Renhuang of the Ninth-Realm, and he had defeated w.a.n.g Xiao with a single strike of his spear.

The City Lord of Tianyan had a steely look on his face, and other cultivators from the City Lord’s Office had a terrible look on their faces as well.

The strongest man they could present, w.a.n.g Xiao, a world-renowned figure upon whom they had bestowed their highest hopes, was now defeated unequivocally by Ye Futian.

When all the cultivators in the Divine Prefecture witnessed this sight, they had their thoughts on the matter. For some, their desire to kill Ye Futian had become even greater.

As long as Ye Futian was alive, they would never have a day of peace. Especially now that he had gone undercover in the City Lord’s Office in the guise of Changkong, he had learned who wanted him dead, so he would, without a doubt, retaliate in the future.

Above the firmament, w.a.n.g Xiao’s eyes glued there as if frozen. He watched the man in front of him as if he still couldn’t accept the fact that he was defeated. He had lost to Ye Futian in the Ninth-Realm.

How did he do it? How did he manage to have such powerful attacking power?

But Ye Futian regarded him with the utmost tranquility, so nonchalant and casual. It was as if what he had just done was something completely trivial, nothing special. It was not enough to elevate his heartbeat at all.

Or perhaps, Ye Futian didn’t see him as a true opponent from the beginning.

He had wanted to step on Ye Futian and all of Ziwei Segmentum to make his moniker, The Unraveled, a reality in the Divine Prefecture. But before he could even begin, he was beaten on his own turf. After taking first place in the Armorer Compet.i.tion, he lost so miserably.

“You can’t!” said Ye Futian, resounding in the sky above Tianyan City.

The Young City Lord of Tianyan City, the heir of Tianyan the Great, w.a.n.g Xiao, the champion in the Armorer Compet.i.tion, was unable!
