Chapter 2634: You Don’t Qualify

The road of cultivation could not be accomplished overnight. Wang Xiao managed to complete this journey in a great leap, which far surpassed the leap what his natural ability could achieve.

He cast a divine body that was comparable to divine arms. It was not difficult to imagine that Wang Xiao must have paid a great price for it.

Even so, Ye Futian’s divine body was not to be underestimated. Even if Wang Xiao was as powerful as he was now, Ye Futian had no qualm facing his attacks head-on again and again, as palm strikes and fist blows continued to collide. Those cultivators watching the battlefield saw that these two had collided numerous times in just a short period.

Every time they collided, there was a violent outburst of sound, and an astonishing storm was forming. At this time, the vast space was filled with a suffocating pressure, as if the space was about to collapse. Especially in the center of the battlefield, that aura of destruction was even more frightening.

“The Symbol of Wan!”

Cultivators from the Buddhist sect watched Ye Futian’s attacks closely and saw that this palm strike was derived from the Symbol of Wan. Every attack contained the monstrous power of Buddhism, which suppressed all evil demons. What was more terrifying was that this Symbol of Wan seemed to have undergone a transformation through Ye Futian, who had incorporated his abilities within. When the palm strikes blasted out, the Sound of Buddha lingered like the Buddhist mantras of truth, which further enhanced its boundless prowess of Buddhism.

In addition, with every release of the Symbol of Wan, they could feel a terrifying chill that was enough to freeze this space, their spiritual souls, and invade Wang Xiao’s body.

Look! That space seems to be on the verge of being frozen and solidified. If it weren’t for the golden divine flames contained in Wang Xiao’s divine body, he probably would have been shut down by now, some cultivators marveled as they watched what took place on the battlefield.

Ye Futian had indeed grown stronger. Though the collisions between the two did not spread to a wide radius on account that these two had controlled their power with immaculate precision, everyone watching could feel the true prowess behind their attacks.

The one who looked the worst was the City Lord of Tianyan. He knew very well the terrifying power Wang Xiao possessed in close-quarter combat, so much so that even he was reluctant to engage him directly. But still, Wang Xiao was suppressed completely.

At this time, another violent, loud bang was heard, and Wang Xiao’s body was repelled by this attack. His eye never left Ye Futian, who was ahead.

Although he was suppressed, his body was now indestructible and invincible. His body and spiritual soul had been transformed so that even if they were invaded by the power of the Great Path contained in Ye Futian’s palm strike, he remained unharmed.

This was the reason why he dared to fight with Ye Futian without the imperial arms, and the City Lord of Tianyan did not stop him.

Now, Wang Xiao was an existence that could not be killed.

Boom! A terrifying storm erupted from Wang Xiao, and a terrifying vision appeared behind him. It was a divine matrix, born from the Divine Wheel of the Great Path, which refined the way between heaven and earth. This divine matrix directly merged into Wang Xiao’s body, and in an instant, his body transformed into a matrix, refining this corner of the world. His entire body was filled with unparalleled power.

He clenched both of his fists and continued to stare at Ye Futian’s figure just ahead.

Buzz! A powerful and menacing wave of the Great Path swept out as Wang Xiao stepped into the void. He disappeared right from where he was. He turned into terrific lightning that blasted towards Ye Futian.

When both of his fists blasted out, a series of horrific shock waves were unleashed that seemed to shatter the bodies and spiritual souls of anyone around it. Its supreme force only accentuated Wang Xiao’s status. He descended to the earth like a deity that could not be denied.

But at almost the same moment, Ye Futian made his move as well. The surrounding world turned into the domain of Buddhism. Behind him, a humongous image of Buddha appeared, which resonated with all the surrounding Buddhas. At the same time, a great palm strike slammed down as the giant Buddha in the sky above Ye Futian also blasted out a boundless Symbol of Wan.

The Symbol of Wan, once unleashed, covered the sky and the sun completely. When it slammed forward, there appeared a space that seemed to be hidden within. Wang Xiao felt that he had somehow fallen into that space inside the Symbol of Wan. In this world, all he could see were endless runes in the shape of the symbol, and every one of these runes had now turned into a most aggressive attack.

Clang! With a loud sound, both of Wang Xiao’s fists dealt heavy attacks, which smashed countless Symbols of Wan. However, that one massive and boundless Symbol of Wan descended directly in front of Wang Xiao. His fists slammed onto it, but he was unable to shatter it. Instead, he was the one being blasted down below.

Everyone looked up into the sky, and their hearts trembled. Wang Xiao seemed to be mired in this, as he was suppressed and slammed down.

“Back off.” All these cultivators couldn’t move fast enough as they vacated the space below the battlefield one after another.

Boom… A great sound came out that was enough to shake the sky. The Symbol of Wan blasted on the ground, and the ground opened up with infinite cracks. These cracks continued to spread outward into the distance. When this terrifying attack dissipated, a gigantic Symbol of Wan was etched on the ground.

From inside, a figure walked out, and it was Wang Xiao. He continued to levitate into the air until he came to the place opposite Ye Futian. His eyes were icy, and his breath was shallow, but he was not seriously injured.

With such violent attacks upon his body, he emerged without any damage.

What kind of body is this? Ye Futian couldn’t help but wonder. Indeed, Wang Xiao was different. He must have experienced something truly extraordinary, or else this state would not be possible.

Even Donghuang Diyuan, if she were to be hit by the attack of the Symbol of Wan, could not possibly bear it quite as well as Wang Xiao.

“The divine body I cast is indestructible and invincible,” Wang Xiao said as he fixed his eyes on Ye Futian. His tone was cold as his eyes emitted golden flames. He possessed such an immortal divine body and was bound to walk over Ye Futian’s dead body sooner or later.

Between heaven and earth, the Buddhas resonated, and the Buddhist mantra of the Great Path resounded through the void. Ye Futian stared back at Wang Xiao and unleashed yet another palm strike. Suddenly, all the Symbols of Wan slammed down to the space below again.

Bang! An overbearing Buddhist seal smashed down without any hesitation, and once again, blasted Wang Xiao to the ground. The Buddhist seal created yet another giant crater on the ground.

When all the cultivators saw how the battle had evolved, they felt quite disturbed as well. Ye Futian’s attack was too aggressive and domineering. Wang Xiao may be a natural-born talent who had transformed with the divine body, but he was crushed by Ye Futian all the same. He was not his equal at all.

However, this divine body was terrifying enough in itself. Even those extremely tyrannical attacks from Ye Futian could not demolish him; it was indeed a divine body of immortality.

“Wang Xiao!” The City Lord of Tianyan had a terrible look on his face as he witnessed what had transpired. Had Ye Futian grown this powerful already? His attack was overbearing to the point of crushing Wang Xiao’s attacks.

At this point, Ye Futian frowned as well. He stared at Wang Xiao below and wondered, Could he really not kill him?

What exactly did Wang Xiao experience?

At this time, heaven and earth changed drastically, as a terrifying domain of the Great Path appeared. The City Lord of Tianyan appeared somewhere to imprison this area inside the Great Path domain. It seemed that he did not want Ye Futian to leave.

He was not the only one. In fact, many cultivators were standing in all directions, and these were giants from everywhere. Many of them harbored a great hostility towards him and wanted to detain him more than anything.

“Wang Xiao, take the imperial arms and end him now,” said the City Lord of Tianyan. He knew that Wang Xiao had a mental block where Ye Futian was concerned, so he hoped that Wang Xiao would kill Ye Futian himself.

His original intention was for Wang Xiao to kill Ye Futian and lay all his demons to rest. This way, hopefully, Wang Xiao’s mental barrier could be removed, and he could then step over Ye Futian’s dead body as he marched on the path to become a Great Emperor.

But he discovered that even after Wang Xiao’s transformation, he was still no match to Ye Futian.

Wang Xiao regarded Ye Futian as his mortal enemy, but in Ye Futian’s eyes, Wang Xiao didn’t even exist. The repeated blows would perhaps become a nightmare from which Wang Xiao could never wake.

Now, he just wanted Wang Xiao to use the imperial arms and kill Ye Futian right here in order to nip any potential future troubles.

“Take the imperial arms and end Ye Futian?” Wang Xiao looked at the figure in the sky above. This was not what he wanted.

However, with his strength, it seemed that the cultivator in front of him would be a forever hurdle that he could never step over. Even after being baptized by a great emperor, the result was still the same. How could it be?

He made every effort and paid a huge price, but the outcome remained the same, and nothing had really changed.

He just couldn’t defeat Ye Futian!

So, he was destined not to be able to defeat Ye Futian with his power except to rely on the imperial arms?

Wang Xiao just couldn’t let that slide. If he couldn’t get rid of Ye Futian, how could he get rid of the barrier inside his mind, and how would he even begin to step onto the road of becoming a great emperor?

If he couldn’t be truly invincible in the world and have the monopoly of the title The Unraveled, what would qualify him to become a great emperor?

Ye Futian looked at Wang Xiao below. He knew that it was not likely for him to kill Wang Xiao. The surrounding area was lined with cultivators, and Ye Futian couldn’t be more clear on what they were thinking. He surveyed the area below and said indifferently, “Even if you had achieved this physical body by a special method, your essence has not changed. You will not surpass me in this lifetime. Every day that I lived and breathed is a day that you will be underneath me. As long as I am around, you’ll never come out on top. The so-called Unraveled is but a joke. You are not qualified to be on your way to become the Great Emperor.”

“Kill him!” the City Lord of Tianyan said loudly when they saw that Ye Futian was still waging psychological warfare on Wang Xiao’s fragile state of mind. He just wanted Wang Xiao to use the imperial arms and kill Ye Futian once and for all.

At this moment, a terrifying aura came from the distance, causing everyone to look yonder. They frowned slightly.

It seemed that someone from the other side had arrived!
