Points Soar, First Place!

Watching Chen Changqing and Liu Ruyan leave, the Eldest Imperial Princess Liu Shi felt a mix of emotions.

Han Feng was defeated by Chen Changqing.

Liu Shi already understood.

She no longer had the chance to compete for the right to inherit the Maple Leaf Dynasty's Empress.

Chen Changqing's strength was simply beyond her ability to contend with.

Besides this, Liu Shi also knew...

Chen Changqing had already given him and Han Feng a break.

After all, he had previously revealed that he was the one who killed Cangmu Yan.

Moreover, Prince Fire Tiger and others also perished at Chen Changqing's hands.

The best way to prevent things from being exposed is to kill her and Han Feng.

But Chen Changqing did not do that.

"Huff huff..."

After a moment of stunned silence, Liu Shi turned around and helped the seriously injured Han Feng to his feet.

Let's go!

Let's leave the Secret Realm.

Upon hearing this, Han Feng nodded bitterly.

She knew in her heart that with Chen Changqing's help, Liu Ruyan should have no problem obtaining the right to inherit the Maple Leaf Dynasty's Empress title.

As for him, there's no point in staying in the Secret Realm any longer.

"He's an admirable opponent!"

Han Feng sighed inwardly.

He accepted his defeat wholeheartedly in this match against Chen Changqing.

After all, Chen Changqing did not use his Swordsmanship Divine Abilities, but instead chose to compete with him in terms of physical strength.

Even so, Han Feng still lost to him.

Liu Shi then left without lingering, taking Han Feng with her.

Meanwhile, Chen Changqing and Liu Ruyan arrived at a secluded valley.

"Senior sister, here you go!"

Chen Changqing transferred all the Points he had earned to Liu Ruyan.

In an instant, Liu Ruyan's Points skyrocketed, reaching over 20,000!

Before Liu Ruyan could reply, Chen Changqing continued:

I'll rest here for a bit!

"I trouble you, senior sister, to protect me."

Liu Ruyan nodded.

Thinking back on his previous battle with Prince Fire Tiger and others, and then his fierce fight with Han Feng, Chen Changqing was naturally quite exhausted.

Next, Chen Changqing arrived at a natural cave abode in the valley.

Liu Ruyan stood guard outside.

Of course, Chen Changqing didn't actually need to recuperate.

In his previous battle against Han Feng, he had indeed expended a great deal of energy, having used the power of six Nascent Soul.

However, this is far from Chen Changqing's limit.

The reason for choosing to go into seclusion at this time is to fuse the Heavenly Strike Sword and the Blazing Flame Sword.

After all, these two swords combined can become Immortal Artifact!

After a moment's thought, Chen Changqing had a sudden inspiration and directly retrieved the Thunder Flame Sword and the Heavenly Strike Sword from his Heaven-Stepping Ring.

"I only Heaven-Stepping Ring, an Immortal Artifact, on me."

"Once these Heavenly Thunder Twin Swords are fused together, our offensive weapons will be more secure."

Chen Changqing muttered to himself, then calmed his mind and began to merge the two.

At the same time, as Liu Ruyan's Points surged, the void within the Hundred Dynasties War Secret Realm suddenly trembled.

"Boom boom..."

Amidst the rising winds and surging clouds, Dao Gold flashed.

Upon closer inspection, a massive Points Leaderboard appeared.

On this list, Liu Ruyan's name appeared prominently at the top of the Points Leaderboard, followed by an astonishing 20,000 Points!

Seeing this scene, all the participants in the battle within the Secret Realm were deeply shocked.

"This?"

"Maple Leaf Dynasty? Liu Ruyan? Has she topped the Points Leaderboard?"

How is that possible?

"This Maple Leaf Dynasty is just a Hundred Strong Dynasties, how could it have obtained so many Points?"

"Even the Nine Great Dynasties were suppressed by it?"

"It seems there are many variables in this Hundred Dynasties War!"

"..."

The many Cultivators were astonished, their faces filled with surprise.

Who would have thought that the one topping the Points Leaderboard in the Hundred Dynasties War would be the little-known Maple Leaf Dynasty!

Besides, the other princesses of the Maple Leaf Dynasty were all astonished upon seeing this.

"Ah?"

"Liu Ruyan?"

"Ninth Sister's Points have reached the top of the Points Leaderboard?"

"This..."

"It must be because of Chen Changqing!"

"Hateful!"

"It's over, we probably can't win against her this time!"

The princesses of all the Maple Leaf Dynasties were shocked and amazed.

While others might not know this, they did. The one who entered the Secret Realm to assist Liu Ruyan was none other than Chen Changqing, the Azure Dragon Ranking.

If it weren't for Chen Changqing's help...

With Liu Ruyan's limited abilities, how could she possibly have obtained so many Points?

Just as the Secret Realm was in turmoil.

Outside, in that strange space.

"First place on the Points Leaderboard: Liu Ruyan, Maple Leaf Dynasty!"

A simple line of text now hangs high in the sky above this strange space.

"Ah?"

Upon seeing this, all the Various Great Dynasties and kingdoms were shocked.

"What?"

"I... I didn't see wrong, did I?"

"Maple Leaf Dynasty has actually climbed to the top of the Hundred Dynasties War Points Leaderboard?"

"Twenty Points? How many Slaughter would you have to get to earn that many Points?"

How is that possible?

"If I remember correctly, the Maple Leaf Dynasty is ranked relatively low among the Hundred Strong Dynasties, right?"

"The people of the Nine Great Dynasties were all overpowered by Liu Ruyan?"

"..."

Amidst the shock, all eyes on the warships turned to the Maple Leaf Dynasty's warships.

"Um?"

Empress Liuye was shocked upon seeing this, her eyes fixed on the information in the sky.

"Ruyan... Ruyan has reached the top of the Points Leaderboard?"

This sudden news caught Empress Liuye completely off guard.

She had expected Liu Ruyan's Points to be high, but she hadn't imagined it would be this high.

Even the Nine Great Dynasties were suppressed by it.

The more she thought about it, the more turbulent Empress Liuye's heart became.

"It must be that kid Changqing!"

Empress Liuye muttered to herself.

She knew better than anyone that with Liu Ruyan's abilities, it was absolutely impossible for her to obtain so many Points.

The only explanation is that Chen Changqing helped him.

After all, Chen Changqing was ranked first on the Azure Dragon Ranking and was also the Personal Disciple of Chen Yuan, the Sect Master the Mount Shu Sect.

Although he is only at the Purple Mansion Realm, his strength must be extremely formidable.

After a moment's thought, a look of relief appeared on Empress Liuye's face.

She had always held Liu Ruyan in very high regard.

Previously, there were some concerns, after all, the helpers that the other princesses found were not weak either.

Now that she saw Liu Ruyan had become the Points Leaderboard, she could finally relax.

"It seems I've underestimated Changqing's abilities!"

Empress Liuye sighed inwardly.

Just then, she suddenly thought of something and murmured:

"So, could it be that Prince Cangmu Yan of the Azure Wood Dynasty was killed by Changqing?"

Upon thinking of this, a hint of worry immediately appeared on Liu Ye's face.

Before Empress Liuye could recover from her shock, another unexpected event occurred.

"Boom!"

However, the void where Liu Ruyan had previously topped the Points Leaderboard suddenly began to tremble violently.

Shortly after, a line of large, blood-red characters appeared:

"The Flame Dynasty of the Nine Great Dynasties, Huo Hu, has fallen!"
