Chapter 457: Ranking! The Heavenly God's Confusion (Extra Chapter)

Inside the Ancestral Realm.

In a continuous mountain range.

Boom~ Accompanied by a fierce slap, in the canyon lake, an Ancestral Realm creature resembling a large turtle was slapped into pieces, followed by dissipating into several rays of divine light.

"Killing a Void God-level Ancestral Realm creature is indeed much more troublesome." Li Yuan landed slowly by the lake: "However, killing it can also obtain 100 points."

"No need to be too anxious either."

"Already rushed to 16th place." Li Yuan muttered secretly: "The first few months are very chaotic; maintain the ranking and don't fall too far behind. When it gets to the end, the remaining people will definitely have higher points, and then go to defeat them, which will definitely increase points significantly."

When the Ancestral Realm War first started, Li Yuan still put effort into fighting and hunting.

But soon, he found the efficiency too low... It was too tiring to put effort into sensing the void to find opponents and then defeating them, only to obtain 1 point.

Too tiring.

So, only a few days later, Li Yuan stopped deliberately looking for opponents and turned to hunting Ancestral Realm creatures... Although Ancestral Realm creatures were all not easy to mess with and were almost all Void God-level.

The points given were enough, and in half a month, his ranking kept rising instead.

In addition to fighting, most of the time, Li Yuan was actually pondering spear techniques and calmly cultivating the True God-level secret arts in "Mind Soul."

Law comprehension and combat secret arts, the further you go, the more the difficulty of cultivation soars.

Li Yuan's will had long since entered the True God level, but his soul had not broken through. Therefore, even if he had cultivated the Void God-level secret arts of "Mind Soul" to the extreme, and had the assistance of "Six Realms of Heart Illusion," Dream Realm Stone, and other law techniques and treasures, pondering the True God-level soul secret arts was still incomparably difficult.

At least, it was still very difficult for the current Li Yuan, but years of honing and cultivation had also made him progress significantly.

"The True God-level secret arts of 'Mind Soul' want to construct an illusion world, with a total of 9834 difficulty points." Li Yuan sat by the lake, pondering: "I have only comprehended three thousand-plus difficulty points."

A few hours later.

Suddenly—

Whoosh~

Six streams of light streaked across sharply and suddenly descended above the lake, and they immediately discovered Li Yuan, who was pondering secret arts by the edge of the lake.

"Someone by this lake?"

"We didn't sense it just now." The five demigods were all stunned, but they didn't care too much.

Divine sense probing is not omnipotent. If one cultivates some secret arts for aura restraint or spatial distortion, they can avoid probing.

Of course, all this premise is to restrain one's own aura fluctuations.

"Still rushed over?"

"I was originally pondering secret arts to the point of excitement and didn't want to be interrupted by fighting." Li Yuan sighed, stood up, and said loudly: "Everyone, if you leave now, I will pretend I didn't see you, how about that?"

"Black-robed brat, what kind of ghost talk are you saying?" A youth in purple armor among the six said sharply: "Meeting us, consider yourself unlucky! Do it directly, kill him."

Boom!

The youth in purple armor took a step, turning into a purple lightning bolt and pouncing over, his momentum overwhelming, causing the lake that had originally calmed down to set off stormy waves again.

"Suppress." A woman in white pointed from afar, and suddenly silver chains flew out from around her. The divine artifact chains bloomed with light, their speed even more exaggerated, enveloping Li Yuan like large snakes.

"Sleep." A youth with charming eyes directly displayed a soul attack, attempting to make Li Yuan sink.

In an instant.

Six demigods exploded directly, three holding weapons for close combat, two for long-range restraint, and one for soul attack, which could be described as perfect coordination.

And their strength was extremely powerful, all with Void God-level combat power, and the leading youth in purple armor even exploded with combat power close to the Void God mid-stage.

It could be said that such a team's joint explosion, even if they encountered a Void God mid-stage powerhouse, could fully fight.

And facing Li Yuan, a demigod whose background they couldn't figure out, they were still going all out, which could be described as careful.

"Rumble~"

Both sides collided immediately, and the surging and surging domains bloomed and clashed; the lake shook, and the mountains on both sides collapsed instantly.

"Roar~"

"Roar~" "Roar~" Only to see earthy-yellow divine dragons exuding overwhelming auras emerging from the collapsed mountains, each yellow dragon exploding with terrifying might.

The yellow dragons roared to the sky, attacking together, several sharp dragon claws whistling, as if to tear the void, sending the leading youth in purple armor flying and vomiting blood, forcing him to disappear into the void in shock and anger.

Another yellow dragon opened its bloody mouth and bit an old man who was caught off guard, tearing his body apart.

Die!

"Clatter~" The surging earthy-yellow domain directly bombarded another middle-aged man holding an axe, causing him serious injury. In shock and anger, he also activated the Realm Token and fled away.

"What?"

"This?"

"16th place? Are you Juexing Xu Yuan, who is ranked 16th in points?" The remaining three demigod men and women, nearly a hundred kilometers away, stared fixedly at the black-clad figure in the void surrounded by giant yellow dragons.

They were all shivering in their hearts.

Too strong!

It should be known that they were all genius demigods of Changqing Ancient City. After meeting by chance, the six of them formed a team, and their strength was strong enough.

But in a single exchange.

The six of them were one dead and two fled. Such terrifying strength naturally made one tremble.

"You should have all sensed my aura."

Li Yuan grinned and smiled: "Then be straightforward. I don't want to kill you; you activate the Realm Token yourselves, so I don't have to do it again."

Inside the Ancestral Realm, when demigods meet, it is actually very difficult to judge the enemy's identity from their appearance, as wanting to change their attire is too easy.

But once they explode and take action, then, among the top 100 powerhouses in points, a unique aura will appear in their attack moves... This is a unique rule of the Ancestral Realm.

Making others immediately know the identity information of the attacker.

Li Yuan couldn't remember how many times he had exposed his identity in the ten-plus days.

But Li Yuan didn't care either.

Exposed? How many people could stop him? Just like now, six powerful demigods with strength comparable to Void Gods joined forces, only to be defeated by him.

"Voluntarily admit defeat?" The three Changqing Ancient City demigods looked at each other.

Flee separately!

The three retreated violently at the same time, turning into three streams of light, fleeing in different directions, attempting to escape.

After all, once the Realm Token is used, half of the points will be lost, and one chance to start over will also be lost, which is something no one is willing to do.

"Sigh, fleeing again?" Li Yuan sighed and moved directly.

Whoosh!

Like a gust of wind, Li Yuan had already rushed to kill the woman in white. His body instantly turned ten meters tall, and he raised his palm like a knife, slashing down directly.

Fast! Accurate! Ruthless!

"Poof!"

His palm was like a heavenly knife, directly tearing the woman in white's body in two, annihilating her soul consciousness.

Die!

"Don't blame me; I gave you two chances to live." Li Yuan didn't want to commit more slaughter, but that didn't mean he would always be soft-hearted.

Immediately, Li Yuan glanced at the woman in white's remains and then glanced at the other two figures over a hundred kilometers away.

This glance made the two of them tremble with fear.

Too terrifying.

Just now, with a flash, Li Yuan crossed over a hundred kilometers of void. What kind of movement speed is this? I'm afraid the Void God limit is nothing more than this.

"Whoosh!"

"Whoosh!" The two didn't hesitate and activated the Realm Token, disappearing directly into the void.

This void became quiet again.

"Truly rushing to send me points." Li Yuan thought to himself, receiving the message transmitted by the Realm Token: "Oh, the six people's points are quite a lot, actually making me rush directly to 14th place?"

Whoosh!

Li Yuan waved his hand to collect the treasures left by the two killed demigods and flew lightly onto a cliff.

"Continue cultivating for a while, then leave here."

So far, Li Yuan had encountered many opponents, but no one had been able to force him to go all out.

Not even anyone who could force him to use the "Origin Divine Weapon."

Usually, as long as Li Yuan's several Star Arts exploded, he could sweep away everything.

Not long after.

Li Yuan, who had been pondering for a while, saw his point ranking drop to 15th place, turned into a stream of light, and went far away, continuing to look for targets to hunt.

Fighting and slaughter!

Sweeping away!

An occasional move would make Li Yuan's point ranking climb continuously.

Yuan Nation Capital, Nine Sounds Tower.

As the top luxurious place in the capital, in the past, many demigods would not easily come to consume, as it was too expensive.

But these days, the Nine Sounds Tower is incomparably lively, much more lively than when the "Nine Sounds Realm" was open, and countless Flying Heaven-level beings and demigods in the capital flocked here.

The reason is very simple.

The recent Nine Sounds Tower has waived the entrance fee, all drinks and food are 20% off, and the expensive music and dance performances in the past are now completely free.

Such a low price is the first time in the thousand years of the Nine Sounds Tower, attracting countless Flying Heaven-level beings and demigods in the capital to come.

And everyone knows the reason.

Celebration!!

"Ancestral Realm Leaderboard! Our Yuan Nation's peerless genius Xu Yuan actually ranked sixth."

"Unbelievable."

"Xu Yuan demigod, has been a demigod for at most ten-plus years, right? How can he be so powerful?"

"The Ancestral Realm War is said to be not just demigods from three thousand divine kingdoms participating, but demigods from countless life planets beyond the heavens, as long as their strength is strong enough, will also participate."

"In this case, Xu Yuan can actually rush into the top ten. How strong must his strength be?"

"Xu Yuan demigod is the pride of our Yuan Nation." Not just the Nine Sounds Tower, countless Flying Heaven-level beings and demigods in the city, as long as they look up slightly, can see the huge "Ancestral Realm Leaderboard" in the void.

There are a full ten thousand names on the leaderboard, and the higher the ranking, the more eye-catching it is.

——

1. Ning Chi

2. Juexing Jing Kui

3. Tianshe Liu Bing

4. Eastern Nether Lian Yun

5. Moon Blade

6. Juexing Xu Yuan

7. Divine Dragon Ao Feng

8. Kong Yin

9. Painting Cloud

10. Yu Ting

19. Juexing Dong Pan

88. Juexing Yueshan

Above the void of the Nine Sounds Tower, there is a huge void hall that ordinary demigods cannot perceive, which is the best platform to watch the "Ancestral Realm Leaderboard."

Today, in the hall, hundreds of "Void Gods" in the Yuan Nation capital have gathered, and as time passes, more and more Void Gods are coming after getting the news.

"Is it really Xu Yuan? He went to Juexing Ancient City ten-plus years ago; he was only at the Flying Heaven level then, right?"

"I can't believe it."

"Yueshan demigod is known as the number one genius of our Yuan Nation in thousands of years, and he has been a demigod for hundreds of years, yet he is only 88th." Many newly arrived Void Gods were sighing with emotion.

Xu Yuan, most of them know.

After all, Xu Yuan had caused a huge storm in the Yuan Nation capital back then.

"It is Xu Yuan."

Thousand Illusion Void God smiled: "I personally went to visit the Master, and the Master said personally that Xu Yuan demigod has been a demigod holy son of Juexing Ancient City for several years."

"And the Master also said."

"The Ancestral Realm War has been going on for nearly a month, and he can still rush into the top ten, which is enough to prove Xu Yuan's terrifying strength. His law comprehension is estimated to have entered the True God level." Thousand Illusion Void God said solemnly.

Law comprehension comparable to a True God?

The many Void Gods present were all a bit confused.

If someone else said it, they wouldn't dare to believe it. After all, how long has Xu Yuan been cultivating? Even if he is ranked in the top ten of the Ancestral Realm War, it is still suspicious.

But the one who said this was Nine Sounds True God!!

Deep in the void of the capital, Nine Sounds Divine Mountain shrouded in endless clouds and mist.

A charming woman wearing purple gauze that felt like clouds and mist, with two furry long ears, is lying leisurely on a chair, just happening to be able to see the "Ancestral Realm Leaderboard" at the end of the void.

"Sixth?"

"Truly unbelievable, how long has he been cultivating?" Nine Sounds True God murmured to herself: "The Nation Lord has already become a Heavenly God."

"Could it be that in the future, Xu Yuan can also become a Heavenly God?" Nine Sounds True God sighed.

The Ancestral Realm War has been going on for nearly a month.

The ranking Li Yuan obtained caused a shock in the Yuan Nation.

However, looking at the major powers in the world, the True Gods who knew Li Yuan's past intelligence did not doubt too much.

"Xu Yuan's soul attack is very terrifying. Back then, even Dong Pan demigod of Juexing Ancient City couldn't block it."

"Relying on soul attacks, he can easily sweep away a large number of participating demigods. It is very normal for his points to be ranked sixth."

"Powerful soul attacks are very popular in such large-scale chaotic battles, but when it comes to competing for the Ancestral Realm Token, he will be at a disadvantage." This is almost the consensus of True Gods of many major powers.

They all believe that Xu Yuan relied on soul attacks to rush to sixth place on the Ancestral Realm Leaderboard.

However, the consensus of the True Gods of various major powers in the world is a different scene in the void above the Ancestral Realm.

"Taiyou, Jiang Yuan, this Xu Yuan you cultivated is indeed powerful."

"Cultivating for only forty-plus years, and just relying on physical attacks, he rushed into the top ten of the Ancestral Realm Leaderboard?" Heavenly God Qinghong, Heavenly God Longchuan, and others were all quite emotional.

Unlike True Gods who can only speculate through leaderboard rankings.

Heavenly Gods directly observe the scene of the entire Ancestral Realm.

Therefore, as the Ancestral Realm War continues and time passes, one powerful demigod after another reveals their edge, and they have long been noticed by them.

Undoubtedly.

Li Yuan is one of the most dazzling geniuses since the start of the Ancestral Realm War.

Not relying on the "soul attack" he is most skilled at in the intelligence, just physical attacks alone, he swept away many demigods along the way, among whom there were many powerful existences.

No demigod could block him.

"Haha, still a bit short." Heavenly God Taiyou smiled: "Now Xu Yuan is only ranked sixth, not as good as Liu Bing and the others."

"Taiyou, don't joke."

Heavenly God Qinghong shook her head: "We are all watching the battle, and we are all very clear that this is because this little guy Xu Yuan is kind-hearted... Most of the time, he only defeats his opponents and does not slaughter crazily for points."

"Secondly, he has been in secluded cultivation for a lot of time, rather than fighting."

"If he combined physical attacks and soul illusions to trap enemies, and then slaughtered with all his might, I'm afraid he could already rush to first place on the Ancestral Realm Leaderboard." Heavenly God Qinghong sighed.

Defeating an opponent can only obtain half the points.

Killing can obtain all the points.

These days, after long observation by the Heavenly Gods, they had long discovered that Li Yuan could clearly kill many demigods directly, but he was very "merciful" in letting his opponents go, giving them a chance to teleport.

This also caused Li Yuan to have fewer points.

The conversation between Heavenly God Taiyou and Heavenly God Qinghong made Lord Dongjun increasingly unhappy.

The more dazzling Li Yuan was, the more unhappy he became.

"Hmph!"

"Wait, being dazzling now and killing fast is just relying on amazing speed and domain, likely having condensed the Spatial Intent and also cultivated the Nine-Fold Escape Star Art." Lord Dongjun's eyes became increasingly cold: "When it comes to competing for the Ancestral Realm Token, which requires frontal confrontation and slaughter, he naturally won't be able to win."

"Hmm, Lian Yun has mastered the True God secret art, which indeed made his frontal combat terrifyingly strong." Lord Dongjun was very satisfied with the achievements of his disciple "Demigod Lian Yun."

Fourth place on the Ancestral Realm Leaderboard, this ranking is already very excellent.

Suddenly.

"Everyone, that Ning Chi is about to clash with 'Xia Ju' of Juexing Ancient City." Heavenly God Sikun suddenly spoke.

In fact, other Heavenly Gods had already paid attention to this battle.

With the power of Heavenly Gods, consciousness shrouding the Ancestral Realm, it is easy to be distracted and observe tens of thousands of people at the same time.

As long as a demigod reveals slightly stronger strength, they are all within their observation range.

How could they miss the battle between Ning Chi and Xia Ju?

Ning Chi, ranked first on the Ancestral Realm Leaderboard, suspected of having peak Void God strength, and his background is even more mysterious. These Heavenly Gods know nothing about him.

Xia Ju, ranked 26th on the Ancestral Realm Leaderboard, his strength is also very amazing.

This level of top genius duel has only appeared twice since the start of the Ancestral Realm War a month ago.

Inside the Ancestral Realm, above a vast mountain range, Demigod Xia Ju and Demigod Ning Chi have already engaged in fierce combat.

"You are Ning Chi?"

Demigod Xia Ju, wearing black armor, ten meters tall, with a powerful and overbearing aura, holding a huge battle knife, stared fixedly at the seemingly lazy figure in the distance.

He never expected that a demigod he encountered by chance would be the terrifying existence ranked first in points on the Ancestral Realm Leaderboard.

Ning Chi!

This name is very strange and is not in the intelligence known to Demigod Xia Ju at all... But being ranked first in points is enough to prove everything; after all, even Jing Kui is only ranked second.

"Xia Ju?"

"Ranked in the top thirty, his strength is indeed not bad." Demigod Ning Chi was quite lazy, but his eyes were very bright: "Take out all your strength, otherwise, you will lose very miserably."

Before the battle, neither side knew the other's identity.

Once they fought, under the guidance of the Ancestral Realm rules, the aura was revealed, and they both knew.

"Kill!"

"Nine Blades! Extinguish!" A flash of cold intent crossed Demigod Xia Ju's eyes; he completely exploded, and strands of terrifying green light bloomed, causing his figure to instantly become extremely blurred.

One after another, terrifying knife lights whistled toward Demigod Ning Chi.

As an eight-star-pulse demigod, Demigod Xia Ju's Star Art was absolutely terrifying.

"Well done."

"Heavenly God secret art?" Demigod Ning Chi's eyes were very bright, like a vast lake. He also moved instantly, his double swords exuding mysterious fluctuations, and faintly, a large amount of water mist was born.

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh!" Layers of sword light were born, sword light like electricity and mist, ethereal and unpredictable, easily blocking Demigod Xia Ju's violent knife light.

One violent, the knife technique was strong and unparalleled.

One soft, the sword light was like flowing water, using softness to overcome hardness.

The slaughter was extremely fierce.

Suddenly.

"Whoosh!"

Demigod Ning Chi's right long sword suddenly turned. This sword was stunning, leaving a trajectory in the void that caused space to vibrate endlessly for a long time, directly slashing across Demigod Xia Ju's arm.

Poof~

Demigod Xia Ju was shocked and angry, but it was too late to retreat. An arm was instantly severed, the battle knife was thrown away, and blood splashed.

Whoosh whoosh! More sword light rushed over.

"Not good."

"Retreat!" Demigod Xia Ju's heart moved, and he instantly activated the Realm Token, and his whole person disappeared into the void, causing those sword lights to miss.

This battle.

Demigod Ning Chi won, still ranked first in points.

Above a mountain peak.

"Hmm?" Li Yuan sensed the change on the Ancestral Realm Leaderboard, and a flash of doubt crossed his eyes: "Xia Ju's ranking suddenly plummeted? Almost falling out of the top hundred, was he defeated by someone?"

With Li Yuan's strong soul, splitting a little bit of mind to sense the changes in the point leaderboard was easy.

"But in that instant just now, except for Xia Ju, no one's ranking changed drastically? It shouldn't be done by a powerhouse after the tenth place." Li Yuan thought to himself: "Then who defeated Xia Ju? Is it someone in the top ten?"

Obtaining half of Xia Ju's points, logically speaking, even if it were a top ten expert, the ranking would likely change.

"Could it be Ning Chi, who is ranked first?" Li Yuan thought to himself: "This Ning Chi, and the top ten Moon Blade, Yu Ting, Kong Yin, Painting Cloud, where did they all pop out from?"

Li Yuan had been paying attention to the point ranking.

In the top ten, there were a full five names that were not mentioned in the intelligence of Juexing Ancient City.

And in the top fifty of the point leaderboard, there were over twenty names that Li Yuan was completely unfamiliar with.

With the intelligence collection ability of Juexing Ancient City, it is normal for a few unknown demigod geniuses to emerge in the top hundred; after all, the world is vast and there are always some unknown geniuses... But a full dozens? That's a bit strange.

Especially the top ten, with five strangers? It's even more bizarre!

"Are other geniuses using aliases? That's not right either." Li Yuan frowned: "Ao Feng, Liu Bing, these geniuses who were expected to rush into the top ten in the intelligence, have basically appeared... none were missed."

Everything can only explain one thing.

These demigods with strange names are powerful, but in the past, they seemed to have never appeared in the intelligence of Juexing Ancient City.

It was not just Li Yuan who was confused.

Like Jing Kui, Liu Bing, Lian Yun, Dong Pan, and many other top geniuses, none were fools, and almost all had already sensed the abnormality of the point leaderboard, and vigilance rose in their hearts.

Everyone realized that this Ancestral Realm War didn't seem so simple.

Above the Ancestral Realm.

The eleven Heavenly Gods whose consciousnesses had descended had been paying attention to the battle between Ning Chi and Xia Ju.

"This sword."

"It's a True God-level move! Undoubtedly, being able to defeat Xia Ju so easily, this Ning Chi definitely has peak Void God strength." What kind of vision did the Heavenly Gods have?

Before, Ning Chi hadn't encountered such a strong opponent as Xia Ju, so the Heavenly Gods couldn't fully confirm it, but now they could finally confirm it.

"Where did they pop out from?"

"With such strong strength, I'm afraid it's not inferior to Jing Kui, and they have never appeared before." The Heavenly Gods were all confused.

It should be known that all known areas of this world had been completely occupied by the three Juexing Ancient Cities and the six major Sacred Lands.

All parties were working hard to discover and cultivate geniuses... It is normal to miss some demigods with Void God initial stage strength.

But a demigod possessing peak Void God strength? Such a peerless genius, who would at least grow to the peak of True God in the future, is almost impossible to miss.

Even if Xu Yuan exceeded their expectations, he was still traceable; after all, he had been famous before and was cultivated by Juexing Ancient City.

What about Ning Chi? There wasn't a trace before.

"I suspect."

"This Ning Chi, and Moon Blade, Yu Ting, and others, are not geniuses from this world of ours." A low voice sounded abruptly: "It is possible for one genius to suddenly emerge."

"But for a group of peerless geniuses to suddenly emerge, it is absolutely not normal."
