The Legend of Futian

Chapter 2022 - Admiration

Chapter 2022: Admiration

It was obvious that the two of them were strong enough to be recognized by everyone. Kong Xiao was one of the top-tier figures in the Donghua Academy with terrifying combat ability. Even though he had an advantage over Ye Futian in terms of his cultivation level, Ye Futian’s Divine Wheel was superior.

In the space above, Kong Xiao lowered his head and looked down at Ye Futian. Green light circled in the space around them, revolving around him. Wherever the green light was, the space seemed to shatter. This was his will of the Great Path.

An even more brilliant green light revolved around Kong Xiao’s body. Seeing this, Ye Futian’s arms hammered down at the sides of his body. In an instant, a heaven-reaching will of the sword was unleashed. It seemed to pervade the entire space; ear-piercing echoes of the sword rang out over and over again. A limitless will of the sword created an intense resonance. With Ye Futian’s body at its center, a fearsome storm of will of the sword appeared, and it collided with the green divine light in the space above.

Oin! Tens of thousands of divine swords shot murderously towards Kong Xiao. The green light surrounding Kong Xiao revolved around terrifyingly. Colliding with the sharp swords, they actually destroyed them all.

Around Ye Futian, billions of divine swords appeared and pointed straight at the heavens. The Path of the Sword flowed upward as though it were a river of swords that rushed straight towards Kong Xiao.

At that moment, Kong Xiao stepped downward. In just the time it took him to make that one step, a straight green divine light appeared between the two of them in an instant.

Yet, at the moment that he moved, Ye Futian also acted. The billions of divine swords shot upward and crashed straight into the green divine light.

The endless green flow was continuously destroyed, and the Great Path was shattered. The impossibly radiant green light was also blocked. In the next instant, it shattered into pieces, but Ye Futian’s sword also broke. A silhouette retreated into the air. It was Kong Xiao.

“What swordplay is that?” Kong Xiao asked Ye Futian. He knew how strong his attack was. Yet, he was forced to retreat in a single sword strike that blocked his attack.

“Liunian,” Ye Futian replied. Many people let out a surprised expression. This person was named “Liunian,” and this sword technique was named after him. It was very uncommon. All the practitioners could feel that when he unleashed that sword strike, the power of the Great Path was forced to reverse in direction, and everything seemed to be destroyed.

“It’s really not bad,” Kong Xiao praised. He levitated in the air, his expression still unwavering, as though he still had immense confidence in defeating Ye Futian. Even if the person in front of him was an extraordinary figure, wasn’t he the same too? The two of them had a perfect Great Path. With the advantage of a higher cultivation level, he had no reason to lose.

Oin...

An infinitely bright divine light radiated outwards in an instant. The piercing light shot through empty space, and many people instinctively stretched their hands out to shield their eyes; it was too blinding. They only moved their arms away after a moment and looked at Kong Xiao.

Behind him, an incomparably bright, giant silhouette appeared. That was the silhouette of a vivid and sacred peacock. When it fanned out its wings, it shaded the sun, directly covering the sky. On its wings, countless eyes seemed to appear, and they shot out a blinding divine light.

Ye Futian also seemed to be stunned for a moment. In the next moment, he saw that the skies were filled with eyes. His vision seemed to be blurred, and it was the same even if he unleashed his Divine Consciousness. The countless eyes seemed to contain a terrifying magical power that drew him into an illusion. He saw the silhouettes of many Kong Xiao. It was like there was a Kong Xiao in front of every eye.

“Illusions,” a voice echoed out in Ye Futian’s heart. In the next moment, the countless pairs of eyes emitted a terrifying divine light. They were like sharp, green swords that pierced towards him. At that moment, Ye Futian vaguely understood why Sky Sword Leng Kuangsheng reminded him twice to be wary of this person.

This Kong Xiao was indeed more dangerous than Ling He.

The current him was already trapped in his opponent’s domain of the Great Path. The moment the peacock Divine Wheel of the Great Path appeared, Kong Xiao seemed to gain absolute control over this region.

He is in danger, many practitioners who watched from the mountain peaks thought to themselves. This Kong Xiao was extremely dangerous. As for the practitioners of the Donghua Academy, they understood Kong Xiao’s abilities, so they were not too surprised.

It would be challenging for Ye Futian to obtain victory from Kong Xiao.

At that moment, when the limitless green divine light shot murderously towards Ye Futian, everyone saw that a circular moon appeared above Ye Futian. This moon appeared to be especially cold; the moon radiated moonlight, and snow seemed to flutter all around. The beams of divine moonlight shone into the area, covering the entire region, colliding directly with the streaks of green light.

The crowd shockingly found out that under the radiation of moonlight, the green divine light that contained a dominating power of the Great Path seemed to be shattered directly. The green light and moonlight annihilated each other into nothingness.

“This...” Many virtuosos showed a shocked expression. This was yet another Divine Wheel.

Previously, Ye Futian had never displayed this Divine Wheel of the Great Path—the Divine Wheel of the moon.

Furthermore, this seemed to be even stronger than his previous Divine Wheel. Just the moonlight that was lightly showered could block the green divine light straight on. The two of them seemed to be battling with their Divine Wheels. It was still the same: Kong Xiao with the cultivation level advantage and Ye Futian with the Divine Wheel level advantage. Just by relying on the strength of his Divine Wheel, Ye Futian instantly wiped away the cultivation level advantage that his opponent possessed over him; he could block his opponent’s attack straight on.

Previously, his two Divine Wheels had already managed to get the Divine Mirror of Heavenly Wheels to emit five layers of divine light. However, he did not unleash this divine wheel. If unleashing this Moon Wheel can surpass the five layers of divine light, he would have reached the top level of the Donghua Academy, six layers! thought some practitioners from the Donghua Academy.

As for Jiang Yueli and Qin Qing, they recalled the battle between Ye Futian and Ling He. That cold will was probably emanated from this Divine Wheel. Moreover, Ye Futian purposely concealed his Divine Wheel and did not test its level. Why?

Was he worried that his Moon Wheel would beat the Academy record?

Indeed, many practitioners present, such as the Great Yan Ancient Royal Family and Ling Xiao Palace, were not friendly towards him. She could understand if Ye Futian did not want to stand out too much.

Desolation, Zong Chan and Li Changsheng each had some thoughts as they continued to stare at the battle.

It seemed to be getting more interesting.

In the air above, the green light that shot out collided with the moonlight that Ye Futian shot out. Each annihilated another, and a sort of balance seemed to be formed. Neither of them could break through the power of the Great Path of the other.

However, Kong Xiao was indeed the most powerful opponent that Ye Futian had encountered thus far.

Both Ling He and Yan Dongyang were inferior to him.

Only Kong Xiao, right in the middle of the battlefield, knew that the cold aura emitted by the Moon Wheel was eroding the entire Great Path domain. He could already feel a freezing will. It was as though there was a formless power permeating the entire space, trying to wrestle control over this domain.

On the feathers of the divine peacock, the countless pairs of eyes lit up simultaneously, shooting out beams of divine light. They gathered in front of Kong Xiao’s body. In that instant, Kong Xiao seemed to become a god; he looked majestic.

The moment he moved his hands together, the endless green divine light gathered in his two fists, morphing into a green divine sword.

The next moment, he moved.

Ye Futian, however, saw something entirely different. He saw an infinite pair of eyes shooting beams of light at him. Countless of Kong Xiao’s silhouettes walked towards him at the same time. It was because they were all illusions that he unleashed his Moon Wheel and continuously take his opponent’s attacks.

Despite doing that, Ye Futian suddenly felt an extremely strong sense of danger.

His eyes became very demonic. His pair of eyes seemed to want to see through all illusions and resist his opponent’s illusionary powers of the Great Path. He could vaguely make out a streak of green light.

At that moment, Ye Futian’s eyes also changed. They turned divine-like. Two beams of light shot out from his eyes. The Kong Xiao who was charging at him suddenly realized that he himself was sinking into an illusion. It was as though he had entered a world in the space created by eye sorcery.

In front of him, an endlessly overlapping space trapped him.

It was an ability similar to his.

However, Kong Xiao did not hesitate. Absolute power could shatter everything. The divine wings of the peacock flapped, and countless divine feathers morphed into straight, sharp swords. An impossibly brilliant green divine light pierced through the space with great force. Layers upon layers of space were pierced straight through and shattered. Absolute power was sufficient to break any domain of the Great Path. At that moment, Kong Xiao understood what it meant to be so close yet so far. Nonetheless, the green light continued to flash, and wherever it passed, everything was pulverized into nothingness.

Boom... Kong Xiao sensed that he had finally escaped the world of eye sorcery. The impossibly radiant green divine sword pierced through everything and entered the region shrouded in the moonlight. An extremely cold aura descended, along with a power that penetrated his soul and froze the space around him.

A sharp whistle echoed out as the divine sword pierced through the air. Kong Xiao had never found it so difficult to execute his killing technique; this was definitely the first time in history. Even when facing off against virtuosos with higher cultivation level than him, his attack was still as smooth as cutting through water. He had never encountered a situation like today.

He thought he had already broken out of the world of eye sorcery, yet it seemed like he had entered another domain of the Great Path. In the space of this absolute domain, he saw the orbitals of planets and the moon floating in space. This seemed to be a starry dimension; countless planets orbited, and the trumpet of divine elephants echoed. Moonlight showered upon him, carrying with it an icy aura. His sword might be able to cut through the starry dimension, shattering planet after planet, but it seemed like he would forever not be able to reach the end.

The Great Path domain he entered was Ye Futian’s most powerful Divine Wheel—the absolute Great Path domain.

An impossibly large palm charged towards the green divine sword murderously. In the starry dimension, countless stone steles carved with relics hammered down in suppression along with the palm. The celestial bodies and divine elephant also followed. A bright Buddhist glow suppressed his body and divine soul.

Gate to World Suppression, thought Kong Xiao. Yet, this did not look like the Gate to World Suppression.

The green divine sword shattered the space, the celestial bodies, and the stone steles; however, it reached its limit.

With the loud sound of an explosion, everything seemed to return to peace. Kong Xiao’s body returned to where he was, and his body trembled violently. It was as though he had never moved and had never experienced that terrifying battle.

Nonetheless, the blood flowing from the tips of his mouth and the shuddering of his body was sufficient proof of how immensely powerful that blow was.

Kong Xiao looked down at Ye Futian with a complicated expression. Then, he bowed slightly and said, “In the future, when he ascends to the top, I will admire anyone from the Donghua Domain who challenges him!”

With that, he turned around and stepped away!
