Chapter 329: Dominating the Ranking

Ten thousand miles away.

Space rippled like water waves.

Two figures flashed out from the void.

They were Tushan Youyou and Qingcheng.

"Qingcheng Fairy, what is going on with this Lv Tongtian?"

After appearing, Tushan Youyou looked at Qingcheng with a solemn expression.

Hearing this, Qingcheng was silent for a moment and said, "I encountered this person during the second round of the assessment. His constitution is very special; not only can he sense the strength of others' Spirit Bodies, but he can also devour the origin of a Spirit Body to strengthen himself."

"Devouring the origin of others' Spirit Bodies to strengthen himself!!!" Tushan Youyou looked shocked.

Qingcheng nodded, "That's right. After meeting me back then, he sensed that I was a Spirit Body possessor and feigned closeness, attempting to find an opportunity to devour my Spirit Body origin."

"But what he didn't know was that I had actually known about his ability for a long time."

"Before he approached me, one of my fellow sect members died at his hands, having their Spirit Body origin devoured by him."

"Before my fellow sect member died, they used a special method to preserve the process of having their origin devoured, which I obtained."

"He wanted to deceive me, and I, too, wanted to find an opportunity to deal with him."

"Unfortunately, his strength exceeded my expectations. Although our cultivation levels were equal, his strength was a cut above mine."

"In the end, although I escaped, my foundation was severely damaged by him."

"It wasn't until I entered the Desolate City and received help from Daoist Friend Wang that I was cured."

Tushan Youyou was startled, "Daoist Friend Wang helped you heal your injuries? If he finds out, wouldn't it be disadvantageous to Daoist Friend Wang?"

"That's right."

Qingcheng nodded, "Lv Tongtian is arrogant and vengeful. If he finds out that it was Daoist Friend Wang who helped me, he certainly won't let it go."

"Therefore, we must go back as soon as possible to warn Daoist Friend Wang."

Just as Qingcheng and Tushan Youyou were returning to the Desolate City at top speed.

The Dark Abyss.

In a forbidden area where no one dared to approach.

Five figures shot out.

It was Wang Jianqiang and the others.

Under the leadership of Wang Jianqiang.

Three years had passed.

They had almost swept clean all the Desolate Beasts in the forbidden areas of the Desolate Realm, obtaining over fifty thousand Intermediate Desolate Beads and more than ten thousand High-level Desolate Beads.

"This hunting trip for Desolate Beasts ends here. Let's return to the Desolate City first."

Wang Jianqiang looked at the four of them and spoke.

"Leaving now?"

"We only finished killing through the forbidden areas; aren't we going to hunt in the major dangerous areas?"

"Although the efficiency of hunting Desolate Beasts in dangerous areas is not as good as in forbidden areas, we shouldn't waste it either."

Mu Lingxi persuaded.

Hearing this, Wang Jianqiang laughed, "Naturally, we shouldn't waste it. There are still four years until the assessment ends; what's the rush?"

"Oh."

Mu Lingxi nodded.

Afterwards, the five of them flew straight toward the outer perimeter of the Desolate Realm.

Qingcheng and Tushan Youyou flew for ten consecutive days and finally returned to the Desolate City.

The two hurried back to their residence.

After searching, they discovered that Wang Jianqiang was not in the residence.

After asking Yang Wanxin and Yun Xin, they learned that Wang Jianqiang had entered the Desolate Realm with Mu Lingxi three years ago.

Upon learning this news, the two felt a sense of helplessness.

Although they were worried, there was nothing they could do, so they could only wait in the residence, hoping for Wang Jianqiang's early return.

Three days later.

Lv Tongtian returned.

The moment he returned, the Desolate Qi he had accumulated over many years was instantly absorbed by the Desolate Ranking.

The name 'Lv Tongtian' appeared in the third position on the Desolate Ranking.

Mu Lingxi, who was originally ranked third, was pushed down to fourth place.

Noticing this scene.

The people in the Square all revealed expressions of surprise.

Only a few people's eyes flashed, lost in thought.

During the second round of the assessment, the name Lv Tongtian was extremely famous in the combat zone where he was located.

It was just that after arriving at the Desolate City, for some reason, he suddenly disappeared from view.

This resulted in him not being famous within the Desolate City.

But in the eyes of those examinees who came from the same combat zone as him, he was a heaven-defying talent second only to the Emperor; ranking third on the Desolate Ranking was a matter of course.

While everyone's expressions shifted due to the change in the Desolate Ranking, there was not a hint of joy on Lv Tongtian's face.

He frowned as he looked at the Desolate Ranking, "It's actually not second!"

The reason he had been unable to ascend the Desolate Ranking all these years,

was simply because he had been too arrogant, had broken into a forbidden zone, and had been trapped for over ten years.

Now, the king had returned.

How could he have only managed to scrape into third place?

He had come into contact with the person known as the Emperor before.

Not being able to surpass the Emperor was not really a big deal.

But...

What kind of thing was that Nangong Yu?

To think that even he had managed to get ahead of him!

He pondered for a moment.

He decided to first find out who had helped Qingcheng heal her wounds.

Once he slaughtered that meddlesome person,

he would then go to the Desolate Realm to hunt and reclaim the ranking that was rightfully his.

Hum~

Just as he was preparing to leave,

to the side,

the space in front of the Desolate Realm Stele suddenly began to fluctuate again.

A group of five figures walked out from the space that rippled like water.

This group consisted of one man and four women.

The man looked mediocre, but when Lv Tongtian saw the four women following behind him, his eyes could not help but go a bit straight.

So beautiful!

These four women were all of exceptional appearance.

Especially the woman who looked the youngest, who was following closely by the man's side.

Her appearance was even superior to that of Qingcheng!

The corners of his mouth could not help but curl up slightly.

Although none of these four were Spirit Bodies,

since they were so beautiful, he would not mind having some fun with them.

If they were sensible, he would not even mind bestowing a stroke of fortune upon them and letting them become his handmaidens.

Thinking of this, a smile he considered gentle and handsome spread across his face.

Just as he was preparing to step forward,

a burst of exclamations suddenly came from the Square.

"Look quickly, the Desolate Ranking has changed again!"

"Holy crap, the Emperor has actually been pushed down!"

"How is this possible!"

Originally, Lv Tongtian had not intended to pay attention to the changes in the Desolate Ranking.

But when he heard the words "the Emperor has been pushed down," his heart suddenly jolted, and he could not help but look over.

Immediately, he discovered,

that three of the names in the top four had changed!

Mu Lingxi, who had originally been pushed to fourth place by him, had surged directly to first place.

The second through fourth places had been replaced by the three names: Wang Yu Yao, Su Yutong, and Xing Li.

As for the Emperor, who had originally been ranked first, he had dropped directly to fifth place.

Nangong Yu was sixth.

And he...

After staying in the third position for less than a hundred breaths, he had slid down to seventh place.

Lv Tongtian had always held himself in high regard.

Being ranked third had already made him very dissatisfied, and now that he had dropped to seventh, he found it somewhat hard to accept.

The smile on his face instantly stiffened.

Although Wang Yu Yao, Su Yutong, and Xing Li had anticipated this, they still could not help but feel a bit excited when they saw their rankings.

As for Mu Lingxi, she appeared much calmer.

Wang Jianqiang withdrew his gaze from the Desolate Ranking.

His eyes inadvertently swept over the figure standing not far away, who was staring foolishly at the Desolate Ranking.

He waved his hand,

and flew away with the four women.
