Tao Xue Heavenly Ranking her eyes and muttered under her breath:
"What kind of Heavenly Ranking is this! They've exposed my very little bit of privacy! Now I can't even live in seclusion anymore!"
Enraged, she grabbed the teapot next to her and drank it all in one gulp.
Lu Yinjian and the other man remained silent.
It's best not to mess with people who are angry, especially women!
They could tear someone apart in a heartbeat!
The brilliance of the Heavenly Ranking shone once more.
Finally, the two finalists, whom everyone was suspenseful and eagerly anticipating, were announced!
[Second Place]
Name: Imperial Evil Lord
Cultivation level: Indestructible Saint Lord, Ninth Rank
Race: Imperial Evil Realm
Belongs to: Demon
His inclusion on the list was practically a foregone conclusion.
That's without a doubt!
[First Place]
Name: Gu Xinglan
Cultivation level: Indestructible Saint Lord, 10th Rank
Race: Devil Subduing Realm
Belongs to: people
This one is also perfect, truly deserving of the title!
As the strongest person in the world, no one would question her becoming the top of the Heavenly Ranking.
If you're not convinced, then let's have a contest!
Of course, there aren't many people in the world who have that kind of guts.
Perhaps...
But such a warrior has not yet appeared!
Next, the Heavenly Ranking will distribute rewards!
The top three are Supreme- level treasures, and after that, they are all Extreme Dao- tier treasures!
The world has once again descended into chaos.
The cake is only so big, and those who will first divide it up are naturally the strongest of the time.
The remaining billions of people in the Origin Realm could only watch with envy.
Some of these determined individuals immediately retreated to the deep mountains and forests to cultivate themselves.
They believed that they could ascend to the Heavenly Ranking in their lifetime and enjoy the supreme glory of being envied and resented by the world!
At the same time.
Somewhere in the Calamity City, Xie Feng finished refining the source of evil spirit energy, and he successfully broke through the bottleneck of the Indestructible Saint, reaching the first level of the Indestructible Saint Venerable.
Compared to the many old monsters on the Heavenly Ranking, his cultivation level wasn't particularly outstanding, but if you consider his age, he was definitely one of the most terrifying!
After breaking through his cultivation level, Xie Feng stood up refreshed and full of energy. Looking at the sky that was about to dawn, he was determined to go to Mengl iu Volcano.
His original intention in going to this volcano was to find the Karmic Fire Crimson Phoenix, refine it into energy, and break through the bottleneck of the Indestructible Saint Lord.
But by a twist of fate, he broke through.
However, he was unwilling to easily give up the Karmic Fire Crimson Phoenix, a treasure that could help him improve his cultivation.
Just as no one complains about having too much money, no one complains about having too much power!
Of course, the stronger the ability, the better!
As Xie Feng stepped outside, he ran into Imperial Evil Lord, who had come looking for him. Huang Xiezhu produced a scroll and said bluntly, "This is a map of the Mengl iu Volcano. I've already had it drawn."
Xie Feng took it and said with a smile, "Thank you!"
The Imperial Evil Lord casually asked, "How do you plan to go? Alone?"
Xie Feng looked up at him, a half-smile playing on his lips, and said, "If you want to travel with me, that's not impossible."
"After capturing Calamity City, Old Lu didn't want to rest. He's now leading his army to attack the heart of the Nine Netherworld Phoenix Race, and Tao Xue is following along. So, I'm actually quite relaxed."
Although Tao Xue is from the Longevity Domain, she is not subject to any restrictions and can go wherever she wants.
Moreover, she had a close personal relationship with Lu Yinjian and had some free time, so she went along to fight as well.
The Imperial Evil Lord squinted and smiled, "I've heard that Mengl iu Volcano is located in a dangerous place. Even an Indestructible Saint Venerable might face dire consequences if he went there. I'm a little worried, so I'd like to accompany Sect Master Xie."
Xie Feng smiled and said, "Then thank you very much for your help!"
After discussing their plan, the two quickly decided on a route. The Imperial Evil Lord found a spaceship, and they soared into the sky and set off.
In fact, Xie Feng has Cross-Dimensional Converter that allows him to arrive instantly.
However, this item is mysterious and powerful, and it is impossible for people in the Origin Realm to possess it.
He wasn't very familiar with the Imperial Evil Lord, nor did he know what the other was thinking, so he didn't want to reveal himself casually.
Besides, using a converter here is a waste of its potential!
The spaceship roared northward!
Northern region.
A vast, boundless desert.
This place is sparsely populated, and as far as the eye can see, one can even vaguely make out the border town of the Purple-Feathered Azure Luan Race, which borders the Nine Netherworld Phoenix Race!
The border between the two tribes!
In the heart of the desolate desert, there stands a two-story bamboo house, its walls mottled and yellowed, leaning precariously.
It's a miracle that the bamboo house didn't collapse despite the relentless sandstorms.
In the teahouse lobby, four or five waiters moved about. They seemed busy, but there was nothing urgent to do. They just needed to pretend to be busy, or the boss would scold them.
The boss is sitting by the window.
The young man, dressed in a brocade hat and sable fur, had a refined and scholarly appearance. He rested his chin on one hand and held a white porcelain teapot on the table in the other. His gaze was fixed on the window, his eyebrows forming a downward curve, giving him a somewhat melancholic air.
"Sigh, I've been waiting and waiting for ten days, and still not a single customer. I long for someone to come, preferably a wealthy person, so that I can warm my heart and fill my wallet..."
The boss spoke up.
His voice, like his appearance, was melancholic and aloof.
A simple-looking waiter nearby, who was wiping the bamboo window frame, overheard this and casually remarked, "How can a teahouse have customers if it's located in such a godforsaken place!"
The owner shook his head. " Dabao, you don't understand. This is my passion. Opening a teahouse in the desert is a dream I had unfulfilled in my past life."
Dabao: "..."
He'd heard this kind of talk countless times, yet he still couldn't become completely immune.
At this moment, a torrential rain swept across the desert.
It's raining in the desert!
The heavy rain pounded on the bamboo house, rushing down the four eaves and splashing into the main hall.
The shopkeeper said, "Close the door, don't let the rain damage my bamboo house, it's quite valuable..."
Dabao instructed the other waiters to close the teahouse door slightly.
When he tried to close the window, the shop owner stopped him, saying, "Don't close it. Let me quietly savor the emotions brought on by this rain."
Dabao scratched his head. "Boss, what other emotions does the rain have?"
The shop owner said, "When no customers come in, my heart, like this cold rain, is filled with utter desolation..."
Dabao: "..."
The boss, chin in hand, pondered the taste of the rainwater alone.
The heavy rain splashed on his face, but he didn't wipe it off.
Dabao couldn't stand it any longer. He slammed the window shut and said helplessly, "Boss, why don't you take a break? You know this desert area, there's not a soul in sight, not even a ghost. We've been open for over ten years, and we can count our customers on one hand. You're still thinking about customers? We're lucky we haven't run into any robbers!"
The boss sighed, preparing to get up, "Okay, I think you have a point..."
Clang!
Before he could finish speaking, the door was kicked open!
A large group of about 30 people rushed in from outside the door, exuding hostility. As soon as they entered the teahouse, they quickly surrounded the lobby.
These people are carrying large knives!
A knife stained with blood!
