The Jade Tiger Shattered the Divine Abilities

At this very moment!

The hundred-foot-long golden light surged from the eyes of the dragon statue, like two rivers of fire that had been imprisoned for millions of years, finally breaking through the dam and bursting forth.

Where the golden light passed, the clouds and mist dispersed, and even the brilliance of the three great suns was dimmed by the golden light.

The vast and boundless palaces and pavilions of the Dragon-Offering Main Sect were all coated with a hazy, almost tangible glow, and from a distance, they looked like a celestial city cast in pure gold, quietly suspended at the junction of heaven and earth.

At the very center of that golden light, a hundred-zhang-long light screen had already been unfurled, its surface woven with spiritual energy and flowing with Daoist rhymes, and inscribed with thirty Dao Origin.

Among them, the top ten transformed into ten human figures.

These ten figures stood with their hands behind their backs, sat quietly cross-legged, or leaned back with their arms crossed, all looking down at the scene below.

Yuan Lingyu stood beside Chen Lingxi, looking up at the ten figures with a mixture of curiosity and a vague sense of nervousness in her eyes.

She swallowed hard and whispered, "Senior brother, the Dragon-Transformation Immortal Ranking shines brightly here, and those ten figures on the list are the top ten people on the current One-Mystic Ranking... If you can make it onto the list, the spiritual rewards will be extremely generous."

Chen Lingxi nodded slightly, but her gaze had already passed through the layers of golden light and landed on the two figures at the very top.

The two figures stood at the highest point of the golden light, like two majestic mountains, overlooking the masses below.

A person was surrounded by a faint glow of fire. The fire was not scorching, but it had a profound feeling of melting all things, like a pool of lava deep in a volcano. The surface was calm and still, but underneath, a heat powerful enough to burn the sky was quietly brewing.

This person needs no introduction; he is Zhu Mi of Southern Luminary Peak, whom Junior Sister Lingyu mentioned earlier. He is the number one on the One-Mystic Ranking and possesses the great Divine Ability of [Merging Luminary Technique].

The other person was like a sword sheathed, his aura extremely restrained. If one did not look closely, one would almost think he was just a very faint phantom.

But the sharp edge emanating from him made Chen Lingxi's heart skip a beat.

"The second person is Xu Sanchi from Sword-Illuminating Mystic Peak, the second person on the One-Mystic Ranking." Yuan Lingyu introduced him when she saw Chen Lingxi's gaze fall upon him.

Chen Lingxi nodded slightly.

Zhu Mi and Xu Sanchi both stood at the highest point of the golden light, looking down at Chen Lingxi with calm eyes that revealed neither joy nor anger.

Right in the middle of that golden light, a figure, both real and ethereal like a cloud, suddenly trembled slightly.

The figure solidified slightly, revealing a young face.

A flicker of surprise crossed his face, which quickly transformed into a complex expression.

"It's you?"

Lian Sheng stood atop the golden light, his gaze fixed on Chen Lingxi.

"Junior Brother Lian, do you recognize this person?" A deep voice rang out; it belonged to Heaven-Settling Peak [Yuan Ji], who was standing in fourth place.

He was already tall, and now standing on that golden light, he was like a silent mountain, his whole body shimmering with a deep earthy hue, his aura extremely solid.

Lian Sheng remained silent for a moment before slowly speaking, "This person is named Primordial Spirit Bearer, a disciple of True Person Xiang Shu of Deer-Sleeping Peak."

He paused, as if choosing his words carefully, but his voice was already very low. "He is of a very high generation... I was once defeated by him."

Upon hearing this, the other Daoist figures on the golden light all moved simultaneously.

Even Zhu Mi, who stood at the highest point, couldn't help but glance at Chen Lingxi again.

"Defeated by him?" Yuan Ji frowned, looking up and down at the young man in a black brocade robe standing under the golden light. "Junior Brother Lian, you cultivate the [Illusory Birth] Great Divine Ability, and your Dao Origin is profound. Even among the Xuan One-Mystery Cultivator my Dragon-Offering Sect, you would be among the top."

This person... actually managed to defeat you?

"I was indeed defeated by him," Lian Sheng repeated without further explanation.

He glanced at Chen Lingxi again, his gaze complex, before slowly looking away, as if unwilling to look any longer.

The atmosphere above the golden light suddenly became somewhat subtle.

The figure standing in third place suddenly chuckled and said, "Interesting."

"There's actually such a person hiding on Deer-Sleeping Peak; I've never heard of him before."

As the figure spoke, it slowly raised its head.

The man was a handsome young man with delicate features, dressed in a blue robe, and exuding an indescribable air of otherworldly elegance.

He was none other than Liu Tongqing Peach-Bloom Peak, the third person on the One-Mystic Ranking.

Liu Tongqing's gaze swept over Chen Lingxi, then she suddenly shook her head slightly and said softly, "However... I observe that this Senior Brother Spirit Bearer has no special physique, and his Dao Origin is not particularly abundant. At first glance, he seems quite ordinary."

He paused, then changed the subject, smiling as he added, "But since you were able to defeat Junior Brother Lian, you must have something extraordinary about you."

Zhu Mi stood at the highest point of the golden light, and within her eyes flickered a faint flame.

He stared at Chen Lingxi for a moment, then suddenly shook his head slightly. His voice was low, yet without a trace of contempt. "A mediocre physique, weak Dao Origin, yet he managed to defeat Junior Brother Lian... This person's true strength is deeply hidden."

Yuan Ji snorted coldly, his copper bell-like eyes staring straight at Chen Lingxi below, his voice deep and resonant like muffled thunder. "A disciple of True Person Xiang Shu of Deer-Sleeping Peak, his seniority is indeed extremely high."

If I were to encounter him outside the mountain gate on a normal day, I would respectfully address him as Junior Uncle, without daring to show the slightest disrespect.

He paused, then his voice suddenly rose, enveloped in Dao Origin, and echoed through the Void: "But this Dragon-Transformation Immortal Ranking is not a place where one can stand high simply because of one's seniority!"

This discussion concerns strength and cultivation!

If he makes the list, he'll take our places!

"We ten should not have agreed to this!"

Yuan Ji finished speaking, the Void beneath the golden light suddenly sank.

Then, his Dao Origin surged around him, and a heavy and profound aura spread out from him, as if an invisible earth had pressed down from nowhere, even the heavenly wind flowing through this place was suppressed and stopped!

Yuan Lingyu stood beside Chen Lingxi, feeling an invisible pressure on her shoulders, causing her breath to catch in her throat slightly.

She was furious and couldn't help but take a step forward, loudly proclaiming, "In the Dragon-Offering Sect, strength has always been the deciding factor!"

"Now that my senior brother Spirit Bearer has the ability to be listed, how dare you stop him?"

Her voice was clear and melodious, with a touch of girlish charm, echoing in the vast Void.

Yuan Ji stood atop the golden light, but upon hearing this, he merely shook his head slightly, his expression indifferent. "Everything has its rules."

This Dragon-Transformation Immortal Ranking is naturally reserved for those of virtue.

And we ten are the virtuous ones.

He paused, his voice growing increasingly deep. "The rules for the current rankings are now determined by me, the Ten Masters of the Mysterious Realm."

This is what it means to let strength speak for itself!

Yuan Lingyu was speechless at his words, her pretty face flushed slightly, but she didn't know how to refute him. She could only turn to look at Chen Lingxi, her eyes filled with both anger and worry.

"Senior brother..."

Chen Lingxi did not look at her.

He merely raised his head slightly, his gaze sweeping over the ten figures above the golden light.

Among those figures, some possessed a deep and unfathomable aura, some were sharp and piercing like swords, some were reserved like water, and some were fierce and raging like fire.

Each and every one of them is a top-tier figure in the Fenglong Sect's Dragon-Offering Sect First Profound Realm, possessing a foundation so profound it's almost terrifying.

But at this moment, these people remained silent, simply looking down at him.

That gaze contained scrutiny, curiosity, and indifference all at once.

There is also undisguised hostility, like that of the Yuan Ji.

In the midst of this silence, Chen Lingxi suddenly smiled.

With a smile, his originally calm and composed face gained an indescribable air of serenity.

He then spoke softly, "Fellow Daoists value the rankings on the Dragon-Transformation Immortal Ranking so highly; this Immortal Ranking must possess extraordinary spiritual power."

He paused slightly, then his eyes suddenly lit up. "If that's the case... I'll take it even more."

Yuan Ji stood atop the golden light, upon hearing Chen Lingxi's words, a hint of surprise flashed across his rugged face, which quickly transformed into an air of majesty.

"How dare you!"

Yuan Ji step!

With this step, the aura around him, as solid as the earth, suddenly surged, and a visible yellowish mist rose from his body, like a startled earth dragon, surging and roaring above the golden light!

Then, his body suddenly swelled up!

With cracking bones and bulging flesh, the already towering figure grew several times larger in an instant, transforming into a colossal ape that was over ten zhang tall!

The giant ape's muscles were bulging like a dragon's, its fur had a dark yellow sheen, and its fangs, several feet long and as white as knives, protruded from its lips. Its huge, bell-like eyes were filled with a violent rage!

Heaven-Settling Peak Yuan Ji actually cultivates an extremely rare and powerful Violent Ape Transformation Divine Ability!

The ten-zhang-tall giant ape stood atop the golden light, looking down at Chen Lingxi below, and let out a deafening roar!

"Junior Uncle, there's no shortage of people on this One-Mystic Ranking!" the giant ape spoke, its voice booming like thunder, echoing across the land. "When someone among the people on the ranking cultivates a second Divine Ability and forms a second Profound Root, leaving this One-Mystic Ranking, it won't be too late for you to join!"

Before the words were even finished, the giant ape suddenly took a step forward!

With this step, the surging yellow mist beneath its feet, like a flood bursting its banks, transformed into a towering yellow torrent that crashed down upon Chen Lingxi!

That yellow tide was no ordinary mud and sand. Every grain of sand was filled with the extremely profound Dao Origin of the Yuan Ji, making it incredibly heavy. Once activated, it was like a moving mountain, carrying the power to crush everything, and it swept down from the sky and the earth!

At the same time, three more figures stepped forward on the golden list!

The three men were either tall and robust, or as thin as bamboo, or their bodies shimmered with spiritual light. Each of them exuded a powerful aura, like three invisible mountains pressing down from nowhere, making the Void itself somewhat stagnant.

One of them raised his hand and flicked it, and countless ice crystals condensed into arrows that pierced the sky and fell down!

Then another person opened their mouth and roared, and layers of sound waves surged in like a raging tide!

One of them flicked his fingertips, and streams of mysterious spiritual light rained down, each containing a Divine Ability power!

Liu Tongqing, who was standing in third place, slowly raised her hand at this moment.

He simply flicked his fingers.

Buzz!

A trembling sound rang out, and suddenly a willow tree phantom appeared out of thin air behind Liu Tongqing!

The willow tree was several meters tall, entirely green, with drooping branches and fluttering Willow Leaf. But the willow tree phantom was no ordinary plant; every branch and every Willow Leaf was imbued with a Divine Ability light!

Sword light flickered on the Willow Leaf, lightning danced between the branches, fire burned in the veins of the leaves, and ice crystals condensed on the tips of the branches!

The illusory willow tree was like a strange divine tree with leaves of countless Divine Ability and branches of endless Daoist charm. Just by standing there, it exuded a terrifying aura that made people's hearts tremble!

Willow branches drooped down, Willow Leaf fluttered, each branch and each Willow Leaf carrying a Divine Ability, surging towards Chen Lingxi in an overwhelming manner!

"Be careful, Spirit Bearer!" Yuan Lingyu exclaimed in alarm.

Although she knew that her senior brother was exceptionally strong and had once defeated Lian Sheng with a single sword and finger, the scene before her was one where several top figures on the One-Mystic Ranking were attacking at the same time!

The endless yellow waves, ice arrows, sound waves, spiritual light, Willow Leaf Divine Ability, layer upon layer, covered the sky and almost crushed that Void into dust!

What made Yuan Lingyu's heart tighten even more was that at the highest point of the golden light, Zhu Mi and Xu Sanchi, though they hadn't made a move, stood atop the golden light, looking down at Chen Lingxi.

Those two gazes were like two invisible swords, hanging over Chen Lingxi's head, ready to fall at any moment.

She was furious, but also worried about her senior brother's safety. She was about to remind Chen Lingxi...

But then Chen Lingxi suddenly smiled.

There was an indescribable composure in that smile.

"Fellow Daoists value this ranking on the Dragon-Transformation Immortal Ranking so much..." Chen Lingxi said with a smile, "In that case, I am even more determined to take it."

Before he finished speaking, he took a step forward!

The moment Chen Lingxi took that step, his aura suddenly changed!

Originally, he stood under the golden light, his aura restrained, like an inconspicuous stubborn rock.

But at this moment, as he took a step forward, the stubborn rock suddenly shattered, revealing its long-hidden sharpness!

The Abyssal Heaven Spirit Sword appeared out of thin air and landed in his palm!

The sword was crystal clear, and the remaining patterns of a hundred restrictions on its blade lit up simultaneously, unleashing an incomparably sharp sword intent that soared into the sky!

Chen Lingxi his sword in his hand, his eyes suddenly blazing brightly.

He took a deep breath, and his Dao Origin surged wildly, flowing into the Abyssal Heaven Spirit Sword.

Then...

He unleashed a sword strike!

This sword strike was devoid of any frills; it was simply a pure and domineering sword light!

[Jade Tiger Sea-Reversing Sword Light]!

The sword light burst forth from the Abyssal Heaven Spirit Sword, and in an instant it swelled up, transforming into a dazzling sword rainbow that stretched across the sky!

The sword rainbow was a pale gold color, with lightning flowing across it and Sword Qi crisscrossing it. It was wrapped with a violent and incomparable terrifying sword intent that seemed to want to shatter everything, and it slashed straight at the sky full of Divine Ability!

Where the sword flashed, the yellow waves shattered!

The surging yellow waves, powerful enough to crush mountains, crumbled and disintegrated silently the moment the sword light touched them, like ice and snow meeting the blazing sun, turning into a sky full of yellow sand that fell down in abundance!

The sword light continued unabated, the ice arrows vanished, the sound waves dissipated, and the spiritual light was extinguished!

The overwhelming divine Divine Ability were like paper lanterns before the Jade Tiger Sea-Reversing Sword Light, easily punctured!

Finally, the sword light struck the illusory willow tree!

Liu Tongqing's expression changed drastically. He quickly formed hand seals, and the willow tree phantom suddenly shrank. Thousands of willow branches danced wildly, forming a green barrier in an attempt to block the sword light!

But that sword light was too domineering.

The sword light struck the willow tree barrier, and with a crisp cracking sound, the barrier formed by thousands of willow branches crumbled inch by inch, Willow Leaf flew everywhere, branches broke, and turned into a sky full of emerald light fragments!

The illusory willow tree with leaves made of countless Divine Ability was actually cut in two by Chen Lingxi's sword and collapsed with a bang!

"What?!"

Above the golden light, Yuan Ji, Liu Tongqing, and even the other One-Mystic Ranking figures who had made their move all changed color!

That single sword light shattered the overwhelming Divine Ability that the eight of them had combined to suppress!

That Killing Power, that domineering nature, is simply unbelievable!

Even Zhu Mi, who stood at the highest point of the golden light, couldn't help but narrow her eyes slightly, and the flames that had been dancing in her eyes suddenly solidified.

Xu Sanchi, who was standing beside him, had been silent like a sword sheathed, but now he raised his head slightly, his gaze falling on the sword rainbow that stretched across the sky, a hint of amazement flashing in his eyes.

He muttered to himself, "Jade Tiger Sea-Reversing Sword Light... This person has actually cultivated such a sword Divine Ability?"
