Chapter 284 Xuan Tian Ranking No. 1
Chapter 284 Xuan Tian Ranking No. 1
Wang Zhao was completely dumbfounded.
He stood there with his mouth agape and his eyes wide open, unable to utter a single word for three full breaths.
"The Holy... Holy Body?! My godfather... is the Holy Body?!"
His voice was trembling as he stiffly turned his head to look at Akiko, who was equally dazed, and said:
"Old Qiu, pinch me right now, am I dreaming?"
Akiko didn't pinch him.
He stared intently at the crimson sunset, his usually composed face now filled with awe, and murmured:
"Brother Li has been hiding this too well... We... we've actually been calling a Holy Body our brother all this time?"
Li Nanzhi looked up at the rosy clouds, tears welling in her eyes, but a bright smile bloomed on her lips, filled with pride.
That cousin, who was looked down upon by his family and ridiculed by the world since childhood, had such noble blood flowing through his veins.
"Aunt...did you see that?"
She murmured to herself, her beautiful eyes sparkling: "Wu Dao... he's not a waste... he's a Holy Body... a top-tier Holy Body. Your spirit in heaven can rest in peace now."
Green-haired Turtle curled his lip, stared with his beady green eyes, and muttered, "Damn it, this kid has put on an act again."
"It still... couldn't be hidden."
Murong Yan murmured bitterly, his voice filled with helplessness.
When he saw the extraordinary sight of a thousand miles of red clouds and a bright sun in the sky, his first reaction was not excitement, but... a headache.
As the sect leader, he understood better than anyone what the Pure Yang Holy Body meant.
That's an unparalleled physique that could shake the entire Eastern Wilderness!
While the Holy Body is a blessing for the sect, it also means endless trouble.
Covetousness, jealousy, assassination...
Many people die young due to various accidents.
His original plan was to wait until Li Wudao reached the Martial Venerable Realm and had a certain ability to protect himself before slowly revealing the matter of the Sacred Body.
But now, with so many people present, anyone with eyes that aren't blind can see this magnificent phenomenon.
"Fine..." Murong Yan took a deep breath, his eyes gradually hardening with resolve:
"Since we can't hide it anymore, then there's no need to hide it any longer! Although my Xuantian Sect is no longer at its peak, we can still protect a Saint Body!"
Beside him, Nangong Cheng looked up at the illusory image of the great sun, his aged eyes gleaming with a sharp light.
This ancestor, who had lived for nearly two thousand years, was completely unsettled at this moment, and his withered hands trembled uncontrollably.
"This is a supreme phenomenon recorded in ancient books—pure yang piercing the sun, truly a pure yang sacred body!"
His expression shifted, and he said in a trembling voice, overjoyed:
"A Holy Body... My Xuantian Sect now has a Holy Body! This day... I've waited for nearly two thousand years... and it's finally here!"
At the front of the crowd, Jiang Churan stared blankly at the crimson sunset.
An unprecedented storm was brewing in his usually cold eyes.
"The crimson clouds reflected in the sky for over a thousand miles, and the great sun hung ninety thousand feet in the air. It was extremely yang and strong, burning away all evil. This is the extraordinary phenomenon of the pure yang holy body, 'pure yang piercing the sun'."
This passage comes from the oldest text in the sacred Yaochi, and it perfectly matches the scene before our eyes.
No...it's even worse!
The crimson glow before our eyes stretches for miles.
The majestic power emanating from that illusory sun made even this reincarnated empress feel a faint sense of oppression!
"He... he actually awakened the Sacred Body phenomenon at this level..."
Jiang Churan was unable to calm down, and for the first time felt that her understanding was beyond the realm of common sense.
In her previous life, she ascended to the Emperor Realm and naturally encountered many sacred bodies along the way.
As far as she knew, the awakening of the Sacred Body phenomenon required the development of one's physique to a certain degree, at least to the Perfect Martial King realm, or even the Martial Venerable realm.
But Li Wudao had only recently become a King Wu.
what does this mean?
This means that the purity of his bloodline is incredibly high!
In other words, his potential may be even more terrifying than those pure Yang holy bodies recorded in ancient books!
At this moment, a crack appeared in the frozen lake of the girl's heart.
Her lips were pressed tightly together as she stared blankly at the tower, lost in thought.
not far away.
Wu Shaotian's face had gone from shock to ashen, and then from ashen to a near-manic contortion.
"Pure...Yang...Sacred...Body..."
He clenched his teeth so tightly that every word seemed to be squeezed out from between his teeth, carrying a bloody taste.
He knew all too well what those four words meant to the demon race.
Natural enemy! Nemesis!
A scourge that must be eradicated at all costs!
Ancient texts of the Demon Clan clearly state that the day the Pure Yang Sacred Body is perfected will be the day the Demon Clan faces a catastrophe!
This body is extremely yang and strong, and it can completely overcome all yin and evil demonic energy. It has a natural and almost overwhelming restraint on demons!
"He must be killed... We must not let him grow stronger... We must kill him no matter what!"
Wu Shaotian's eyes were filled with bloodlust, and his killing intent reached its peak at this moment.
Among the crowd, the five provocative disciples were trembling all over.
"We actually provoked a sacred body..."
The leading disciple's lips trembled, his legs went weak, and he collapsed to the ground.
"It's over...it's all over..."
The four people beside him were in no better shape; they were all pale, their eyes filled with extreme fear and...regret.
They were all too aware of the significance of the Holy Body to the sect.
Let alone ordinary disciples, even Wu Shaotian, the young sect master, is nothing in front of a Saint Body.
One of the timid disciples was so terrified that he fainted from shock.
Seeing this scene, Wang Zhao finally let out the pent-up anger that had been building up inside him for so long.
"Cool!"
He grinned broadly, his smile as radiant as the red glow of the sunset.
"You will not live if you do your own evil."
Akiko shook her head slightly, but a hint of pleasure flashed in her eyes.
The most composed person in the entire room was Xia Gucheng.
He still stood with his hands behind his back, his blue robe shimmering with a faint gold edge under the glow of the red sunset, his eyes calm and still, showing neither joy nor sorrow.
It was as if this earth-shattering phenomenon before him was something he had anticipated.
In fact, it does.
Not long ago, the outcome of the battle between Li Wudao and Yang Qiong of the Tianxuan Holy Land had already reached his ears in detail through Tingxuelou's intelligence network that spanned the Eastern Wilderness.
"It's time to prepare for the next stage of training..."
He muttered to himself, as if thinking of something, a very faint smile curving his lips:
"It's time to let the other owners know about this kid's existence. I wonder what their expressions will be..."
Inside the tower.
An aura of extreme yang and strength swept out, causing the surrounding lightning energy to crackle and pop!
The divine body phenomenon unfolds, doubling all attributes and greatly increasing combat power.
Facing the sky full of lightning, Li Wudao punched the Lion Lord's third pupil between his eyebrows.
The crimson-gold light on the fist blade was intensely bright.
Blessed by the sacred body's extraordinary phenomena, infused with the Vermilion Bird's life force, suppressed by the Great Cataclysm Domain, and with double pupils locking onto weaknesses...
All the power is concentrated in this one punch!
"puff!"
The fist pierced through the lightning and slammed into the Lion Lord's third pupil between his eyebrows!
Time seems to stand still.
Take a breath.
Two breaths.
The third breath...
"boom--!!!"
The third pupil between the eyebrows of the Thunder Lion Lord exploded with a bang!
Then, the entire head, the massive body... disintegrated inch by inch!
The deep purple lightning power was reduced to nothingness and wisps of smoke under the mighty fist of the sun.
The twenty-first floor returned to deathly silence.
All that remained was a patch of charred remains.
Li Wudao slowly withdrew his fist, and the strange red glow behind him gradually dissipated.
He stood still, his chest heaving violently, his breathing heavy.
His clothes were mostly torn, and he had several wounds from which blood was faintly seeping. His right fist was ripped open, indicating that his injuries were not minor.
"Finally, it's over..."
He let out a bitter sigh.
He used almost all his trump cards in this battle, and only managed to win with great difficulty, which was truly not easy.
But worth it.
He proved himself and defended his dignity.
the most important is.
From this day forward, his status in the Xuantian Sect will surely rise, and he will have a great deal of influence. No one will dare to look down on him anymore.
He looked up at the space above, preparing to call upon the tower spirit to leave.
however--
"Om..."
Transparent ripples spread across the empty space ahead.
A portal formed from starlight quietly appeared.
The gate is nine feet tall, its entire surface shimmering with starlight. Inside, it is deep and boundless, with twinkling stars, exuding an aura of vastness, antiquity, and supreme power.
"This is……"
Li Wudao's eyes narrowed.
at the same time.
Outside the tower, the world is undergoing a dramatic change!
The colossal tower, silent for millennia, suddenly burst forth with a beam of light, lighting up layer by layer on its own.
At the top of the tower, a beam of light shot into the sky, piercing straight into the heavens!
"What happened?"
"Could Junior Brother Li have already passed the test?!"
The disciples looked up in surprise and uncertainty. Ever since Li Wudao broke into the tower, their nerves had been on edge.
Immediately afterwards——
"Om!!"
The ancient stone tablet in front of the tower, which recorded the rankings of the Xuan Tian Ranking, began to shake violently.
"Look, Junior Brother Li's ranking has changed!"
someone exclaimed.
Everyone rushed over instantly, their eyes glued to the rankings, afraid of missing a single detail.
On the monument are the names that once illuminated an era and are now admired by future generations.
At this moment, it was as if subjects were meeting their king; they all dimmed and voluntarily withdrew from public life.
There is only one name—
Li Wudao!
It suddenly lit up from the 498th position.
It transformed into an incomparably dazzling golden arrow of light, charging upwards with unstoppable and irreversible force!
Four hundred! That's it!
Three hundred! That's it!
Two hundred! That's it!
One hundred! That's it!
It swept forward with unstoppable momentum, so fast that it was dazzling!
Fifty! Thirty! Twenty!
Breaking into the top ten!
Ninth, eighth, seventh... third place!
The name that had just set a record of eight shots and caused a sensation throughout the clan was Jiang Churan.
They were gently pushed aside by the golden arrow of light and retreated beneath it.
The second place, Ye Tianyun, an ancient genius who left a deep impression in ancient books and was hailed as "the closest to the patriarch," also had to give way.
Finally, under the gazes of stunned, horrified, and incredulous eyes...
That golden name, carrying the overwhelming power to suppress all ages and reign supreme, crashed headlong into the one that had once hung high at the top of the rankings, suppressing the Xuan Tian Sect's fortune for ten thousand years—
Above the three large characters "Chen Xuanfeng"!
Immediately.
The name of the patriarch "Chen Xuanfeng" shimmered with golden light and slowly shifted three-tenths of an inch to the side.
They relinquished that supreme and unique top spot!
Its name shines alone in golden light.
First place: Li Wudao!
The square was deathly silent, so quiet you could hear a pin drop.
"The Xuan Tian Ranking... at the top..."
"He...he surpassed the founder?!"
"this......"
Everyone was stunned, staring at the dazzling name at the top of the list, gasping in surprise, their faces changing color.
"clang--!!!"
Deep within the main peak, there is a warning bell that has been suspended at the summit since the sect's founding, only ringing when a major event affecting the sect's fortune occurs.
Once again, it vibrated on its own without anyone striking it!
