In the blink of an eye, several more days have passed, and Ye Xuan's ranking has dropped from sixth to tenth.
This caused countless prodigies to tremble once again.
"That Ye Xuan from the Eastern Wasteland has actually fallen to tenth place?"
"Hmph, the mere Eastern Wasteland is nothing more than a Lower Realm. How strong can someone from the Lower Realm be?"
"What's fake is still fake. The reason he was able to reach the top is simply because those true geniuses disdained to compete with him. Once those geniuses get serious, what is he anyway?"
In an instant, all sorts of voices rang out again, all filled with disdain for Ye Xuan.
During this time, countless geniuses, through extensive communication and investigation, have long since come to know that the Eastern Wasteland is merely Lower Realm, not some ancient lineage or a hidden powerful force.
As a result, everyone was naturally somewhat uncomfortable that Ye Xuan was able to reach the top or be listed on the leaderboard.
It should be noted that many extraordinary beings come from the Great Realms, or the Nine Heavens and Ten Lands.
None of them left their names on the Divine Stele or made it onto the list, so what makes Ye Xuan, a Lower Realm mortal from the lower realm, qualified?
In fact, even though Ye Xuan only comes from the Lower Realm, he is currently ranked tenth.
Even if Ye Xuan came from the Nine Heavens and Ten Lands and was ranked one hundredth, this was already quite extraordinary.
However, the stark contrast between his previous first-place ranking and his current drop in the rankings naturally attracted ridicule from countless cultivators.
Ironically, while those people were mocking Ye Xuan, they never even considered this.
They don't even have the right to have their names inscribed on the monument.
At the same time, Ye Xuan was still cultivating, and over the course of several days, his aura had grown stronger and stronger.
An endless storm swirled around him, as if it were about to destroy the world.
In the void, dark clouds gathered, and bolts of lightning flashed, as if an apocalyptic catastrophe was about to occur.
At a certain moment.
With a loud bang.
A bolt of lightning descended from the sky and instantly struck down towards Ye Xuan.
Ye Xuan looked at the massive Lightning Tribulation descending upon him, roared, and his aura shook the heavens and earth in an instant.
His eyes were bloodshot, and suddenly his feet slammed into the ground. With a loud roar, he was instantly lifted into the air, actively facing the Lightning Tribulation.
" Wilds Body Refining Technique, refine!"
" Five Thunderbolts Strike the Crown! Fall!"
Low roars came from Ye Xuan's mouth. Almost the instant the lightning struck, he began to frantically circulate the Wilds Body Refining Technique, starting to temper his physical body.
At the same time, he absorbed the lightning energy, and endless arcs of lightning surged from his body, colliding with the falling arcs of lightning and beginning to wear each other down.
With a series of booming sounds, after the first Lightning Tribulation struck, the second and the third followed immediately.
The heavens and earth roared, and the earth trembled continuously.
In a very short time, a huge minefield was formed within a radius of hundreds of miles.
Lightning flashed, as if an apocalyptic catastrophe was about to strike.
I don't know how much time passed; it felt like a day, or maybe a year.
Gradually, the Lightning Tribulation stopped descending, and its power began to weaken.
In the center of the minefield spanning hundreds of miles, a powerful aura began to rise.
It's getting stronger and stronger.
At a certain moment, when everything returned to calm, a thunderous roar suddenly erupted, and that aura soared into the sky, its power shaking the heavens.
Above the heavens, the aura fluctuated, the wind and clouds changed color, as if the entire world had begun to tremble violently.
Ye Xuan suddenly opened his eyes, and within those eyes seemed to flash with endless lightning, which was extremely terrifying.
At this moment, he was like the son of Thor, domineering and incredibly powerful.
"Have you finally broken through to the Supreme Extreme Realm of the Venerable Realm?"
Ye Xuan murmured to himself, then casually waved his hand, and a bolt of lightning suddenly shot out with a loud boom.
Hundreds of miles away, a mountain peak collapsed.
He looked up at the void, about to take another look at the divine stele.
But at that moment—
With a "click".
A slight sound seemed to come from within his body, and then Ye Xuan felt as if some kind of shackle had been broken.
Suddenly, powerful forces erupted once more.
"Have the shackles been broken?"
"Has the first shackle been broken?"
Ye Xuan's eyes flickered slightly as he instantly looked inward.
As expected, one of the ten shackles that originally bound the Chaos Sacred Body broke, leaving only nine.
The broken shackles bound his left arm.
At that moment, he raised his left arm.
The entire left arm radiated a dazzling jade-like light, crystal clear and without the slightest flaw.
Ye Xuan clearly felt that at this moment, his left arm was terrifyingly powerful, many times stronger than his right arm in both strength and defense.
"Such immense power! At this moment, this left arm alone is probably already comparable to a top-tier sacred artifact, isn't it?"
Ye Xuan expressed his excitement and exhilaration.
Just then--
"Ding! Congratulations, host, your cultivation has broken through, you've broken the first shackle, and your daily check-in count has been refreshed."
"Host, would you like to sign in now?"
The long-absent system voice came, Ye Xuan instantly recognized it. The voice came from that mysterious area in his mind that he could not explore.
Ye Xuan's spiritual sense surged in, wanting to investigate.
This time, he was finally able to enter the area, unlike before when he was unable to get close.
However, Ye Xuan felt immense pressure; his spiritual consciousness was being constantly squeezed and weakened.
At this rate, it will probably be completely crushed in less than three seconds.
"No, we absolutely have to go see."
Ye Xuan gritted his teeth and continued to force his way in.
The next moment, he was shocked.
He saw a palace, a magnificent palace of immense size.
However, there was simply no time to investigate.
With a snap, the little spirit figure shattered.
Ye Xuan felt a sharp pain in his head, and his face instantly turned pale.
Would you like to check in now?
The system's voice came again, and Ye Xuan clearly sensed it.
The voice had lost its previous charm and politeness.
It's as if it has feelings, yet it's cold and indifferent.
Ye Xuan gritted his teeth. "Sign in!"
"Congratulations, host! You have successfully checked in and obtained the Thunder Sacred Body. Would you like to fuse with it now?"
The system's voice came again.
Ye Xuan's eyes flashed, but he didn't hesitate at all. "Merge!"
As the sound rang out, lightning once again appeared around him, with endless thunderous energy swirling around him.
If, before, he seemed to be the son of Thor...
At this moment, he was truly the son of Thor.
He not only felt a greater affinity for the lightning element in the surrounding world, but he could also easily manipulate those lightning element particles.
It took more than half an hour for the Thunder Sacred Body to finally fuse successfully.
Surrounded by endless thunderous energy, Ye Xuan appeared even more domineering at this moment.
" Thunder Sacred Body, so powerful!"
Ye Xuan clenched his fists, and in an instant, lightning flashed, and two lightning orbs appeared beneath his palms.
With a casual wave of his hand, the ball of lightning flew out, blasting up an area spanning hundreds of miles with a deafening roar.
