Chaos Sword Body Technique: The Sword God is invincible!
Chapter 553: Reaching the Pinnacle

Chapter 553: Chapter 553: Reaching the Pinnacle

They were furious that Cang Wuji could be so dismal in defeat, his invincible form nowhere to be seen. Losing to anyone but Lin Yi would have been acceptable, yet he had lost precisely to him!

"Cang Wuji has actually lost, and it’s his first defeat to someone his age too—the blow is too harsh!"

The Grand Minister shook his head, his expression a complex mix of shock and contemplation.

Falling from the mountain’s peak must have been devastating!

However, in his view, this defeat wasn’t necessarily a bad thing.

Being invincible for too long could make someone complacent, forgetting themselves; as a Heavenly Pride, losing once or twice could instead serve as a tempering of the mind.

Yet what surprised him even more was Lin Yi; the boy had swept through from the first round, defeating countless geniuses of the Central Province and ultimately even crushing the Cangtian Tyrant Body to claim the pinnacle of Central Province!

Buzz!

After defeating Cang Wuji, Lin Yi’s name had smoothly taken over Cang Wuji’s spot, ascending to the top of the Central Province King List.

Lin Yi!

Looking at that top name on the King List, Wu Quan was incredulous. "This kid has actually dominated the Central Province King List, even more monstrous and domineering than Cang Wuji!"

"His Majesty actually wanted me to take him down in secret—what an overestimation!"

He thought he had merely been narrowly defeated and believed that if it weren’t on the Battle Platform, he had a great chance to suppress Lin Yi; but now, after seeing the battle between Lin Yi and Cang Wuji, he’d completely dismissed the idea.

Better leave this kid to the capable ones in his clan!

Lin Yi ascending to the number one spot on the King List became the focal point of countless discussions; after witnessing the entire battle between Lin Yi and Cang Wuji, who would dare challenge Lin Yi now?

Following the chaos of the battles, the second round for deciding the ranks had also ended.

The rankings on the King List were finally set in stone!

Lin Yi’s position at number one on the King List was unshakable!

And Cang Tian Wuji, having the Cangtian Tyrant Body, took second place.

The third was Yan Qingrou.

As for Lu Qingcheng, she had successfully advanced one position to finally secure the eighth spot.

This ranking battle revealed many dark horses; several new faces appeared in the top ten. They should have been one of the highlights of the event, but now all the limelight was stolen by Lin Yi alone!

His triumph over the Cangtian Tyrant Body was legendary, likely to be remembered in future ages, let alone in contemporary times.

After the rankings were finalized, the Grand Minister stepped forward, appearing mid-air, and declared loud and clear, "This battle to define the rankings has concluded perfectly. The new rankings of the King List are now established."

"Congratulations to the young geniuses named on the Golden List. You will all receive a generous reward gifted from the Ancestor Dragon Sacred Dynasty."

Upon hearing the word "reward," Lin Yi’s eyes immediately lit up with eagerness; after all, wasn’t he motivated by the potential rewards when he entered this ranking battle?

As the Grand Minister’s voice faded, he ordered someone to distribute a card to each of the geniuses.

The Grand Minister said, "Your rewards are all in this card. With this card, you can go to any Wangyue Building and claim your exclusive reward."

Lin Yi played with the card briefly, then put it away; it likely already contained three hundred thousand King-grade Spirit Stones and five drops of Half-Saint Blood.

As long as he could maintain the top spot on the King List, he could collect this reward every month.

This made Lin Yi marvel once again at the wealth of the Central Province; he remembered how much effort it had taken him to obtain just a drop of Half-Saint Blood from Jian Feidao.

But now, the King List distributed five drops of Half-Saint Blood every month!

It was incredibly thrilling!

With this Half-Saint Blood, Lin Yi was confident he could step into the Venerable Realm soon.

This time, his visit had been well worth it!

While Lin Yi was preoccupied with thoughts of his rewards, suddenly, amidst the open skies above the training grounds, a disturbance arose. A thunderous roar of a beast tore through, parting the clouds and capturing the attention of all the Central Province geniuses present.

In their line of sight, demonic energy soared high; amidst it, decidedly, a number of flying Demon Beasts tore through the sky, and on their backs were figures exuding arrogant auras!

These figures had human forms, beast forms, and even human-beast hybrids, but all exuded demonic energy, clearly not of the Human Clan!

"We heard there was a grand gathering of the Human Clan today, and we came to see!"

"How could we from the Demon Clan miss out on the Central Province’s young generation vying for supremacy?"

A mocking voice rang out; as everyone looked toward the source, they saw it was the Golden Lion King, speaking human words.

Demon Clan!

It was indeed the Demon Clan!

In Central Province, although the Human Clan was indisputably the overlord, the Demon Clan possessed the strength to stand toe-to-toe with the Human Clan!

As they say, two tigers cannot share one mountain. If it weren’t for the threat of the Outer Realm Evil Clan in the Green Ruins Realm, the Human and Demon Clans might have already clashed over territory.

This ranking battle was a celebration of their Human Clan, so why were these Demon Clan members intruding?

Many of the Central Province Human Clan geniuses furrowed their brows.

"It’s you, the descendant of the Ancient Nine-headed Golden Lion, the Golden Lion King!"

An elderly man recognized the Golden Lion King at a glance and shouted in alarm.

This was a powerful descendant of the Ancient Times, possessing a trace of the Ancient Giant Evil’s bloodline, naturally powerful and extraordinary.
