Victory After Victory! The Top Ten of the Battle Power Ranking Were Terrifying Indeed

It was not only Arena Number One that had challengers. Before every other being in the top ten of the Golden Immortal Cultivation Battle Power Ranking, a peak Golden Immortal expert had appeared as well.

These challengers were originally among the foremost figures in Golden Immortal battle power. Even if they fell short of the top ten, they were still immensely powerful.

"Just a flying insect. Get off the arena at once, lest you lose your life!"

Before the Blood-Winged Black Mosquito, an enormous toad let out thunderous roars, looking utterly terrifying.

"Dragon Clan brat, are you going to get down yourself, or shall I swallow you whole as Blood Food?"

Elsewhere, a Demon Bird had appeared before Ao Guang, seemingly an expert of the Great Peng Clan.

[Challenge begins. Time limit: three days!]

The moment that ethereal voice fell, the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden on Arena Number One had already made her move.

A seemingly light punch instantly smashed into the Heavenly Wolf Clan member's head.

Power surged through it, faintly revealing an astonishing Power of Law.

"You..."

Boom!

Before the Heavenly Wolf Clan member could react, his head was blown apart, utterly annihilated.

"This..."

"What happened?"

"One strike?"

"Why can a Golden Immortal wield the Power of Law?"

"That's far too terrifying! We thought she was merely the weakest one, yet she's actually this powerful?"

"..."

Waves of shocked cries immediately erupted from the watching crowd.

Most of them had not thought highly of the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden and had believed there was something shady about these rankings.

Yet that supremely confident Heavenly Wolf Clan member had died in a single strike, without even a chance to fight back.

This was simply too terrifying.

Could it be that the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden truly possessed the pinnacle battle power among Golden Immortals?

"Next!"

"Since you all refuse to accept this, then I shall let you experience the true strength of the one at the top of this ranking!"

After killing her opponent, the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden's gaze sharpened.

She suddenly discovered that such battles could help her thoroughly integrate the insights she had gained in Hongmeng Palace. Naturally, she was unwilling to let such a fine opportunity pass.

At this moment, waves of miserable screams rang out from Arena Number Eight.

The immensely imposing giant toad from before was now enveloped in a cloud of blood-colored mist, while over a hundred fist-sized Blood-Winged Black Mosquitoes circled ceaselessly around it.

In only a few breaths, the giant toad had been stripped of all flesh and blood, leaving behind nothing but a grim white skeleton.

"Heh heh heh, it seems this isn't such a bad thing after all!"

"At the very least, I can have a good meal!"

"Who's next? Hurry up and come on. I can't wait to continue feasting!"

Among the hundreds of clones, the Blood-Winged Black Mosquito's true body slowly emerged, a thread of Fierce Aura appearing in its eyes.

"This vicious insect is too terrifying—even more terrifying than the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden on Arena Number One!"

"Once such a terrifying being grows up, it will surely bring disaster upon Hong Huang!"

"What's wrong? Weren't you just saying you wanted to challenge him? Now's the perfect chance!"

"Hmph, I never said that..."

The Golden Immortal Living Beings gathered around Arena Number Eight became exceedingly cautious. One after another, they stopped in their tracks, seemingly cowed by the Blood-Winged Black Mosquito's brutality.

"Look, that Asura Clan princess has finished her battle too!"

"Was her opponent a Western Teachings disciple?"

"It ended so quickly?"

"She actually killed a Western Teachings disciple?"

"..."

On Arena Number Two, Blood Ji was wiping the blood from her arm.

Before her lay scattered, unrecognizable chunks of flesh and blood. Her opponent had already been blasted into fragments.

"As expected, the women of the Asura Clan are not only beautiful, but powerful as well. How did I never notice before?"

"Ah, she's just too ruthless. Otherwise, one could..."

"Shh... Do you not want to live? I heard Old Ancestor Minghe entered Hongmeng Palace. He still hasn't come out—perhaps he'll remain in Hongmeng Palace from now on!"

"..."

The many onlookers all began to speak, but the moment Old Ancestor Minghe was mentioned, they immediately fell silent.

Discussing Old Ancestor Minghe at a time like this was hardly a wise move.

Very soon, the first round of challenges came to an end. Yet not one of the original top ten on the Golden Immortal Cultivation Battle Power Ranking had been defeated.

This left the Myriad Races of Hong Huang experts utterly shocked.

At first, they had felt indignant, but now the facts lay right before them. Deep down, they vaguely understood that the Supreme Hongmeng Ranking had not deceived them.

It could only be said that they knew too little—or that they had never paid attention to such obscure little figures.

"The first round of challenges is over. Hurry up and get up there; those guys may have already exhausted themselves!"

"Right, right! We'll wear them down in succession. I refuse to believe we can't defeat them!"

"..."

Once the first round of challenges had decided its winners and losers, the many people planning to challenge them began shouting.

They might not necessarily be a match for the top ten individually, but if they fought them one after another, they would surely be able to defeat every one of them.

At worst, they could find more people to join forces with.

[The first round of challenges has ended. Spiritual power recovery will be provided on the arena. The start time of subsequent challenges shall be initiated by the arena holder. Each challenge may last for a maximum of three days, and every winner may recover their spiritual power!]

"How could this happen?"

"Doesn't that mean our plan can't be carried out?"

"They recover after every match—how are we supposed to wear them down?"

"..."

Angry cries rang out one after another. They had just thought of a way to win, only for the Supreme Hongmeng Ranking to shatter it outright.

"Enough of this—I'm going up first. I'll definitely defeat Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden!"

"That's right. True experts disdain such petty tricks. I'll directly slaughter Zhu Han of the Witch Race!"

"Move aside! This Seat is going to destroy that little bug!"

"..."

In the end, wave after wave of confident peak Golden Immortal experts still stepped onto the arena.

Unfortunately, challenge after challenge began and ended.

Over an entire year, not a single challenger managed to claim victory.

Meanwhile, the top ten of the Supreme Hongmeng Ranking fought all the way to the end, their battle power soaring at breakneck speed.

The further it went, the faster they won.

Gradually, the surrounding spectators became numb.

"Another one got killed?"

"Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden has already slain a hundred challengers and severely injured who knows how many more!"

"She doesn't even rest. The moment one battle ends, she immediately starts the next—she's insane!"

"It's not just her, is it?"

"Other than that rabbit, they all seem terrifying!"

"Ah, the top ten of the Golden Immortal Cultivation Battle Power Ranking truly are terrifying beyond measure!"

"We're convinced—completely convinced!"

"We can't go up there and throw our lives away anymore..."

Helpless cries continued to ring out. After their disappointment and shock, profound awe rose within the hearts of the many experts.

They realized that there was no need to question the Supreme Hongmeng Ranking at all. These people were absolutely deserving of their names.
