The Legend of Futian

Chapter 2565 - Who Is the Side Character

Chapter 2565: Who Is the Side Character

Wang Xiao was the Unrivaled?

Before this, Wang Xiao held the title of the number one armorer. The Lord of Tianyan City saw him as being unrivaled and peerless. He wanted him to lead the cultivators of the Divine Prefecture to destroy the Ziwei Segmentum, where Ye Futian was.

However, right now, Ye Futian was standing right in front of Wang Xiao. Ye Futian’s long spear was pointed right at his figure.

In the silent Tianyan City, the hearts of countless people were throbbing. Was Ye Futian that powerful?

Ye Futian had actually pointed his spear at Spear Emperor Du You and then at Wang Xiao. He was so overpowering.

The most crucial detail was that Ye Futian was merely a Level Nine Renhuang. How did he manage to become so powerful?

Even the frightening and extremely sharp Spear Will that shot out from Spear Emperor Du You’s eyes had been easily negated by Ye Futian. The latter had even challenged the former to a fight.

With Ye Futian’s identity, he was naturally no fool. His provocation implied that he had the combat ability of the Tribulation Plane.

A Level Nine Renhuang had Tribulation Plane combat ability.

It was not just Du You; the various cultivators of the Divine Prefecture all realized this. Before this, there had been records of Ye Futian killing Tribulation Plane cultivators. The second-in-command of West Sea Domain Chief’s Manor, Zhong Miao, had been hunted down by Ye Futian.

Back then, many people believed that Ye Futian had relied on external help.

From the looks of it now, though, was that truly the case?

If he had relied on external help, would he dare to point his spear at Wang Xiao? Would he dare to challenge Du You to a fight?

Zhong Miao was killed by Ye Futian with his own actual ability!

A Level Nine Renhuang had killed a Tribulation Plane cultivator.

“I never imagined that I would see two peerless figures today. That being said, Renhuang Ye and Young City Lord are somewhat similar. Young City Lord can forge Sub-divine Arms and is the champion of the Armorer Competition today. As for Renhuang Ye, he can concoct Sub-divine elixirs. It seems that no one else at the Renhuang Plane can do so.”

At that moment, Xi Chiyao said this with a faint smile. This caused the various cultivators’ hearts to tremble again.

They had heard about this before. This was no secret. They had even used this as an excuse to attack West Imperial Palace. It was precisely because of this that Xi Chiyao did not hide anything in this situation.

The sub-divine elixirs were personally concocted by Ye Futian.

Had anyone else in the world at the Renhuang Plane managed to pull off such a feat?

At least in the Divine Prefecture, no one had managed to do so.

Wang Xiao had claimed first place in the Armorer Competition, but the other armorers of the same plane had all forged Sub-divine Arms. What about Ye Futian? If there was an Alchemy Competition, others of the same plane were not even qualified to contend with him.

Wang Xiao could communicate with imperial arms, but that was because he was born in the Ancient God Clan and inherited the teachings of Tianyan the Great. Yet, before this, Ye Futian was known as the relic killer and had claimed the inheritances of multiple Great Emperors. Could the same be said for Wang Xiao?

Who was the true unrivaled between the two of them?

Everyone in Tianyan City knew that the Lord of Tianyan City wanted to use this opportunity today to let Wang Xiao’s name be known far and wide. He wanted Wang Xiao to become a protagonist of this chaotic world and lead the cultivators of the Divine Prefecture to annihilate the Ziwei Segmentum and kill Ye Futian. By stepping over Ye Futian, Wang Xiao would get the highest level of fame.

However, right now, Ye Futian had instead appeared here.

Wang Xiao also looked at Ye Futian. This was the first time both of them met each other. Before this, when he was still practicing his forging, he had heard of Ye Futian’s name many times. The members of the City Lord Office had often brought it up, especially recently. After Ye Futian destroyed the Holy Land of Taichu, even more people mentioned him.

Wang Xiao had always imagined Ye Futian to be a peerless monstrous figure. However, that did not affect him much. The City Lord told him that after he won first place in the Armorer Competition, he needed to summon imperial arms and lead the cultivators of the Divine Prefecture to destroy the Ziwei Segmentum.

Wang Xiao thought to himself that killing a peerless prominent figure to boost his fame would undoubtedly be a feat to be proud of. He would do so.

Today, he finally encountered Ye Futian, the person he would destroy in the future.

Right now, the other party’s spear was pointed at him.

“It is such a pity that I cannot kill you today. Otherwise, you wouldn’t make it out of Tianyan City alive,” said Wang Xiao in a calm voice. His calm tone contained an intense level of self-confidence. All of the cultivators in the City Lord Office could sense it clearly.

The Lord of Tianyan City and Princess Donghuang had both promised that there would be no bloodshed today. They claimed that it would be the same even if Ye Futian himself were to appear.

The Lord of Tianyan City and Princess Donghuang had high standing, and the cultivators of the Divine Prefecture had all borne witness to their promise. Since they had said so, no one would dare defy them. Wang Xiao would also oblige and not kill Ye Futian.

That was why Wang Xiao said that it was a pity.

Even if a Level Nine Renhuang had exceptional talent and was peerless, what could he do?

If it weren’t for the promise prior, Wang Xiao would have killed Ye Futian here in the City Lord Office before the cultivators of Tianyan City.

“With such talent, if you submit to the Divine Prefecture and beg the princess for forgiveness, you might have a chance to have a future,” Wang Xiao continued as he looked at Ye Futian. He spoke casually, as though he had not taken Ye Futian’s challenge to heart.

Even if Ye Futian pointed his spear at him, what could the former do?

Ye Futian’s fury was pointless.

Even if Ye Futian was peerless, there was still a difference in their cultivation planes. Moreover, Wang Xiao could command imperial arms.

“That won’t be necessary,” replied Ye Futian.

Wang Xiao looked at the white-haired figure before him and revealed a smile as he said, “The future of the Divine Prefecture doesn’t belong to you.”

Wang Xiao continued, “In this chaotic world, many peerless figures will appear like comets streaking across the night sky. Even if your talent is exceptional, you are fated only to be a side character. Do you understand?”

As he said this, he slowly rose into the sky. At the same time, a terrifying aura emanated from his figure. The temperature in the sky rose exponentially. Both inside and outside the City Lord Office, countless people felt a scorching current of air.

“In this chaotic world, Ye Futian, you can only be a side character.”

“Do you understand?”

Wang Xiao’s words reverberated throughout Tianyan City. The hearts of countless people in Tianyan City were full of emotion. Just now, when Ye Futian appeared, many people faintly felt as though his sharp aura had overshadowed Wang Xiao.

However, once Wang Xiao said these words, the people in Tianyan City truly realized that Wang Xiao was still Wang Xiao. During this Armorer Competition, he became known to the world and became famous overnight.

Most likely, no one could stop him from gaining fame in the Divine Prefecture.

Not even Ye Futian could stop him.

Wang Xiao was the heir of Tianyan the Great. His combat ability was no weaker than his forging skills. How could he be compared to people like Zhong Miao?

How could Ye Futian possibly transcend cultivation planes and defeat him?

Countless cultivators felt their blood boil as their faces revealed excited looks. This was the true fest in Tianyan City. The Armorer Competition seemed dull in comparison to this moment. Two peerless figures were about to do battle. Between the two of them, who would become the future top figure of the Divine Prefecture?

Ye Futian raised his head and glanced at Wang Xiao. Then, he similarly flew up high into the sky. His white robes fluttered as his silver hair danced in the wind.

The successor of Tianyan City, the heir of Tianyan the Great and the champion of the Armorer Competition was certainly qualified to have such confidence in himself.

Ye Futian rose into the sky and stood opposite Wang Xiao. He replied, “As long as I am around, your era will never come!”

Rumble.

In Tianyan City, the silent crowd broke out into a feverish rage. Their conversation reverberated throughout Tianyan City. The blood of the cultivators was boiling.

Wang Xiao claimed that in this chaotic age, Ye Futian could only be a side character.

On the other hand, Ye Futian stated that with him around, Wang Xiao’s age would never come.

These two figures had such peerless, majestic spirits. The battle today would certainly go down in the annals of Tianyan City’s history. It would even be remembered in the entire Divine Prefecture.

Even the giant-level figures of the Divine Prefecture, as well as Dark Saint Hua Yunting and Evil Sage Mo Qingge, were full of anticipation. They had seen more powerful battles before and had participated in even more frightening battlefields. Nevertheless, it had been many years since they felt so excited.

Today, two peerless juniors made them feel this way.

They were all old. The future would belong to figures like Ye Futian and Wang Xiao.

“Do you wish to use ritual implements?” asked Wang Xiao as he got straight to the point. Would they be battling with ritual implements?

“It is up to you,” replied Ye Futian.

“The ritual implement I forged is more powerful, so I will have an advantage. You are also not a cultivator who specializes in spear techniques. Since that is the case, we won’t use ritual implements,” said Wang Xiao as he kept the ritual implement he forged away. Given that he already held an advantage in cultivation, he did not want to take advantage of Ye Futian any further.

Ye Futian similarly put away his silver spear.

Rumble.

Instantly, even more terrifying hot currents circulated the space and enveloped the vast sky. Abnormal phenomena took place as a divine hall of armory appeared out of thin air. A deity wielding a war hammer showed up and stood behind Wang Xiao.

At this moment, Wang Xiao seemed like a true descendant of a deity, the heir of a Great Emperor.

On Ye Futian’s figure, golden light shone, and the scorching Light of Buddha actually appeared. In the sky above, the Sound of Buddha circled him. Behind Ye Futian, a Mahavairocana appeared. The Battle Form seemed to be gigantic, like the Buddha himself. Its light shone into the high heavens.

“This power is at the Tribulation Plane,” someone commented.

The cultivators in the City Lord Office noticed this when they sensed the aura emanating from Ye Futian’s figure. It was indeed aura at the Tribulation Plane. He also possessed the powerful Buddhist Mahavairocana Battle Form. It seemed that Ye Futian had many fateful encounters in the Western World.

The deity behind Wang Xiao wielded a divine hammer. It lifted the scorching golden divine hammer high in the sky. It was huge. In that instant, countless bolts of lightning struck down like heavenly tribulation. They contained unparalleled destructive power and seemed to split the space apart as they struck down towards Ye Futian.

Even the lightning leaping around the divine hammer alone already contained astonishing destructive power.

Under the shocking gazes of the cultivators, the menacing golden lightning struck Ye Futian and his Battle Form. All of them thought Ye Futian would block the attack, but he didn’t. Instead, he received it head-on.

Kacha. The space shattered and broke into pieces. Lightning traversed across the space. Ye Futian was overwhelmed by the terrifying light. Countless people felt their hearts race as they witnessed this scene.

However, standing at the center of the destructive lightning, Ye Futian remained still, and his body appeared divine-like. He was firmly fixed on his spot as he was showered by the destructive divine light. He was unperturbed by the attack. It could not harm him at all.

He had undergone many Divine Tribulations of the Great Path. His flesh had been baptized and was invincible. The shockwave did not affect his flesh. He received Wang Xiao’s attack head-on since he was not at all afraid of it. Enduring this level of attack was merely a workout for his body.

“The Unrivaled, is your attack so weak?” mocked Ye Futian as his eyes turned golden!
