Chapter 73: From ancient times to the present, ranking first, shocking the world

Panwu Celestial Venerable.

An existence that, since birth, has carried endless colors.

It is said that his cultivation in the Fleshly Body Realm has reached the utmost extreme.

Furthermore, in his lifelong battles thereafter, he has never suffered a defeat.

No matter who, no matter what opponent.

From the fact that he left his name on the Fleshly Body Heavenly Dao Stele, ranked fourth, one can see a glimpse.

In the end, he could suppress everything with a single effort.

Until he proved the Dao, ruled the world, and ultimately broke through the Emperor's realm, becoming invincible under heaven and earth, earning the title of Celestial Venerable, and entering the Immortal Realm.

Because he is overwhelmingly strong, and also the closest invincible existence to this era, there are many legends about him.

Thus he is acclaimed as the pinnacle of all cultivators over the past million years, revered by countless people.

Of course, this is also not the reason Qin Yining brings it up at this time.

Ultimately, it is because of his son.

Wang Teng, who possesses the Azure Heaven Dominant Body, has received that being's entire inheritance.

And if Lu Zhangsheng's ranking surpassed Panwu Celestial Venerable, then in a sense wouldn't he be superior even to his own son?

This is something Qin Yining cannot accept, so she chooses to speak up, believing that the opponent's ranking fifth is already the limit.

However, upon hearing this, the Wang Family's Elder Ancestors did not respond.

Each one furrowed their brows tightly.

They sensed.

That child of the Lu Family, I fear, is not limited to this.

Boom—Indeed.

With another tremendous roar.

The Sky Dome trembled, and the power of the Dao spread.

Everyone noticed Lu Zhangsheng's name.

It directly surpassed Panwu Celestial Venerable, arriving directly at fourth place.

Then, before anyone could react, it rose to third place.

At this moment, countless beings were stunned.

No one spoke.

Because no matter what they said, they could not express their current feelings.

They could only watch as the Heavenly Dao Stele emitted countless Divine Lights, illuminating the entire firmament.

Such a mighty aura meant that every being in the Xuanhuang Great World could feel it.

Third.

What kind of concept is that?

It cannot be described in words.

"How... how do I feel? It seems not over yet."

At the Lu Family Zudi, atop Clumsy Peak, a girl with snow‑white skin suddenly spoke.

Not far from her stood Lu Zhangsheng, who at this moment was already entwined by the legal force of the Heavenly Dao Stele.

Wave after wave of extremely potent qi and blood, accompanied by a golden hue, continually erupted from his body.

Almost everyone, even Lu Shen included, felt a pressure.

This left him, the Third Lineage Celestial Son, shocked.

One must know his current state.

He is not far from the Saint Realm.

Yet now, the fleshly body power erupting from Lu Zhangsheng even shocked himself.

And at this moment he, like that girl just now, sensed that perhaps there were still changes to come.

Boom—Soon another rumble sounded.

On the Heavenly Dao Stele, Lu Zhangsheng's name flickered once again.

This time, it directly surpassed everyone and took first place.

Indeed.

The fleshly body combat power he just displayed ranks first among all ages.

This means that, since the ancient Immortal Era, among all cultivators, Lu Zhangsheng is the strongest individual, for having received the acknowledgment of the Heavenly Dao Stele, which no one can refute.

"My heavens, first place—directly surpassing everyone, this"

Some powerhouses, upon seeing this final ranking, had their eyes stare straight.

Moreover, those reclusive old monsters, old antiques, were also completely unable to remain calm.

Such a ranking.

It has exceeded everyone's expectations, and cannot be described in words.

"This child is truly going to defy heaven; his Fleshly Body Realm possesses such terrifying combat power, it's frightening."

"And he's only one year old; back then his father Lu Wushang already made an entire generation unable to lift their heads."

"Back then, not choosing to strike, for fear of really being mistaken—who in the present age could achieve this?"

Those mighty beings all spoke up, utterly shocked.

Even if this ranking cannot be confirmed as the final achievement.

But at least it indicates a problem.

Lu Zhangsheng is in the Fleshly Body Realm, the strongest from ancient times to the present, and surpasses any Heavenly Pride of today's era.

Just this alone is enough to be terrifying, something nobody can do.

Moreover, the most important thing is that the Lu Family's child is only one year old.

Rumble rumble rumble~ at a time when countless people were utterly shocked.

In the void, that stone tablet—Lu Zhangsheng's first-place position—has been confirmed, unshakable.

Above it, golden Divine Light burst forth continuously, surging without end, the boundless power of laws constantly sweeping, standing upon the firmament of the entire Xuanhuang Grand World.

At that very moment, almost everyone saw the ranking on it.

In the Exquisite Immortal Palace, the Empress raised her head and gazed at that stone tablet.

A smile appeared on her face.

Beside her, Gu Yue had already been shocked speechless.

At this moment, she finally recalled the four words the Empress had once said—unique in ancient history.

Before, she had harbored a hint of doubt, but now she still believed it.

After all, Gu Yue, having embarked on cultivation, has reached her present realm.

She had never even imagined it.

A mere one-year-old child could cause such astonishment.

Crimson Mystic Dao Domain.

In the Great Wasteland.

A youth whose entire body was entwined with chaotic qi.

Gazing upon the Sky Dome, the name ranked first on the Fleshly Body Realm Heavenly Stele.

"Lu Zhangsheng, is he the Lu Family's Innate Holy Body Dao Fetus?"

The youth was somewhat surprised and bewildered when he stepped out a year ago.

He had always been thinking, waiting for the day when he could battle that Innate Holy Body Dao Fetus his equal, never expecting that the opponent would have left his name on the Fleshly Body Realm Dao Stele, and even in first place.

That is the Grand Stele; the youth knows very well what it represents.

"Indeed, it is one of the strongest physiques from ancient times."

Beside him, the servant's face was also utterly shocked upon seeing it.

However, he quickly averted his gaze and softly said, "Unfortunately, back when you were in the Fleshly Body Realm, you lacked the conditions to be tested."

"Otherwise, this first-place spot might not be certain; the Chaotic Body is stronger in some aspects."

"In his view, the Chaotic Body has always been the strongest physique; once it emerges, it is destined to be invincible."

"Moreover, he himself has personally witnessed how the youth has cultivated over the years."

"And under such circumstances, he has created countless terrifying achievements."

"The Chaotic Body indeed has its own uniqueness, however"

"But at this moment, the youth lightly shook his head and said directly, 'But if we speak of physical prowess, it cannot compare to the Innate Holy Body Dao Fetus; if I were tested, I might not even secure a top-ten ranking, let alone first place.'"

"Upon hearing this, the servant was instantly shocked—it was the first time he had heard such words from the opponent."

"Although the youth said he was inferior, there was not a trace of fear in his eyes."

"Even more, an intense fighting spirit burst forth from his body."

"In his eyes, strength in the Fleshly Body Realm does not mean everything is strong."

"Among the Three Thousand Physiques, especially those capable of ranking in the top ten,"

"each has its own characteristics."

"The Chaotic Body, however, is an existence capable of suppressing all physiques."

"However, for the Innate Holy Body Dao Fetus, at least in physique, it is a shortcoming."

"Yet the more this is so, the more excited the youth becomes; he immediately whispered, 'Looks like I'll have to properly meet that Lu Zhangsheng.'"
