The news that Di Xi, the genius of the Ancient Alliance, had killed a member of Alien Race royal family caused a huge uproar in the Profound Domain.
In an instant, the Profound Domain trembled once again!
Moreover, this sensation was even more shocking than the fact that Lianxin's junior sister Qu Youmeng defeated the Your Highness Sixty-Four!
Not for any other reason than that Alien Race royal family member who was killed by Di Xi and whose head was turned back...
It was none other than the Alien Race, the Your Highness Fifty-Five, who had previously killed two of the Mystic Ranking prodigies!
Both of the Profound Alliance's prodigies died at the hands of the Your Highness Fifty-Five. The despicable and powerful nature of the royal family left everyone at a loss, but Di Xi made a ruthless move and killed the fiend!
Countless people were shaken.
Although both the Your Highness Sixty-Four and the Your Highness Fifty-Five are members of Alien Race royal families, they are completely incomparable.
The ranking of the Your Highness Sixty-Four is nearly ten levels lower than that of the Your Highness Fifty-Five, so their combat strength is naturally far inferior, and the danger of fighting against them is also skyrocketing.
It's important to understand that within the royal families of Alien Race, the difference between each rank is enormous.
Sometimes, the difference can be described as worlds apart!
The members of the Profound Alliance were all incredulous upon hearing this news.
Not long before this, Qu Youmeng had defeated the arrogant Your Highness Sixty-Four, bringing great honor to the Profound Alliance and making them extremely excited.
But at this very moment, a prodigy from the Ancient Alliance quietly discovered the whereabouts of the Alien Race royal family and successfully killed him!
It's a kill! Not a defeat!
Just like Lianxin... a kill! Gained a lot of battle merits!
But there are also differences.
The one Lianxin killed was merely the Your Highness Sixty-Five of the Alien Race royal family.
The Alien Race king had a total of sixty-seven sons, and these Your Highness Sixty-Five, even if not the last, were close enough.
But the Ancient Alliance's Di Xi killed the Your Highness Fifty-Five of the Alien Race race!
There was a difference of ten places between them!
Anyone can tell which side has a higher value – and by a significant margin.
While everyone was still helpless against the sixty-strong royal family of the Alien Race, barely managing to salvage some face with the help of the two prodigies from the Sword Pavilion, a prodigy from the Ancient Alliance had already returned carrying the head of a royal prodigy ranked fifty-fifth...
this...
this...
Suddenly, the Profound Alliance cultivators, who had originally intended to use Qu Youmeng's defeat of the Your Highness Sixty-Four to ridicule the Ancient Alliance cultivators, were all speechless.
The Ancient Alliance and the Profound Alliance are both allies and competitors.
The main reason is that the people of the Ancient Alliance consider themselves superior and mostly look down on cultivators from the Profound Domain.
The cultivators of the Profound Alliance certainly wouldn't accept this passively.
As a result, the verbal disputes between the two sides escalated further.
Now, a prodigy has emerged from the Ancient Alliance, towering above everyone else. This has not only reignited the arrogance of the Ancient Alliance cultivators but also caused renewed anxiety among the Profound Alliance cultivators.
Does their Profound Alliance... still have anyone capable of holding their own?
His Your Highness Fifty-Five...
While the members of the Profound Alliance were at a loss, Lin Xuan had already arrived in the territory of the Alien Race race.
It's said to be the territory of Alien Race... but that's not entirely true.
This place was once a prosperous empire, even more powerful than the Dawn Empire, the leader of the Seven Moon-Reflecting Kingdoms.
With a powerful expert at the Emperor Realm in charge, suppressing all directions, how glorious it was!
But now, after the invasion and occupation of this land by Alien Race, this place has long been reduced to ruins, and even the once magnificent imperial city has been occupied by Alien Race.
And that royal ancestor, who possessed the cultivation of the Emperor Realm, is said to have perished along with this land during the chaotic war against the Alien Race...
It's truly heartbreaking.
Lin Xuan recalled the rumors he had heard, shook his head slightly, and flicked his longsword, instantly splattering the blood of the Alien Race all over the ground.
On this journey, he traveled straight ahead, starting from the Sword Pavilion as his starting point. By the time he arrived here, he had already penetrated deep into the territory occupied by the Alien Race.
Along the way, Lin Xuan lost count of how many Alien Race he had personally killed.
Meanwhile, on the War Merit Heaven Ranking, as Lin Xuan ventured deeper and killed more Alien Race, his battle merits were accumulating at an extremely rapid pace.
Lin Xuan has risen from ninth place to seventh!
but...
The current Heaven Ranking Heaven Ranking is no longer the same as it used to be.
Previously, the Heaven Ranking could be seen with a few scattered Profound Alliance experts, but now, the rankings on the Heaven Ranking have been almost entirely replaced by the powerful figures from the Ancient Alliance, and the figures of the Profound Alliance cultivators are rarely seen anymore.
Of the top three, only one is a cultivator from the Profound Alliance.
And this Profound Alliance cultivator was none other than the Demon Emperor Chongming — Wu Liang!
The title he used ranks first!
If it weren't for him firmly holding onto the number one spot, the Profound Alliance would probably have completely lost face.
Even the Nine Profundities Heavenly Sect, the number one sect in the Profound Domain, had its patriarch Kan Nian squeezed out of the top three long ago and could only rank fourth.
Lin Xuan glanced at it casually and, unsurprisingly, saw the name of Heavenly Venerable Yunli.
With Heavenly Venerable Yunli's strength, she naturally deserves to stand out on the Heaven Ranking. Now, Heavenly Venerable Yunli has made a strong entry into the top ten with the name of the Sword Pavilion!
Thus, the Sword Pavilion now occupies three spots in the top ten of the Heaven Ranking, truly standing shoulder to shoulder with the powerhouses of the Ancient Alliance!
Furthermore, the top-ranked Lianxin on the Earth Ranking is also from the Sword Pavilion.
Although Di Xi killed the Your Highness Fifty-Five, Su Lianxin had killed countless Alien Race races before that. Even if she is currently in seclusion, the newly born Di Xi will not be able to catch up with Su Lianxin's military achievements in a short time.
Apart from that, no one from the Sword Pavilion made the list.
It wasn't that they couldn't get up there, but rather for another reason: neither Qu Youmeng nor Wang Yan and the others had truly begun to confront the Alien Race yet.
Therefore, all that people can see are these four people on the list.
Even so, it's enough to show how terrifying the Sword Pavilion is.
The top spots on both the Heaven and Earth Rankings are held by people from the Sword Pavilion!
This shows that Sword Pavilion has both veteran powerhouses with formidable strength and emerging young talents.
To a certain extent, this is what constitutes a profound foundation!
In no time, Sword Pavilion's reputation soared, even surpassing many established forces in the Profound Domain, making it the most famous and talked-about sect in the Profound Domain.
What people talk about most is that the Sword Pavilion is not only powerful, but also very mysterious.
Few people knew the names of either Heavenly Venerable Yunli or Lin Xuan, let alone Chongming... In the entire Profound Domain, there wasn't a single person who had ever heard of him!
If Lin Xuan knew what the people of the Profound Domain were thinking, he would probably laugh.
Needless to say, Heavenly Venerable Yunli was a resurrected person, and she was unwilling to talk much about her past. However, from Qu Youmeng's occasional words, it can be inferred that Heavenly Venerable Yunli was not from the Profound Domain.
As for Wu Liang...
He is not only not Human Race, but he is also not a being of this era.
If Lin Xuan hadn't saved him, he would have long since decayed and died over millions of years as the Void Realm closed.
If anyone knew the name of the Demon Emperor Chongming, then there would be a problem.
After retrieving the jade talisman, Lin Xuan looked towards the distant ruins of the imperial city and prepared to venture deeper into the ruins.
Having come this far, it wouldn't be right not to kill some of the Alien Race.
Just then, two bewitching red lights suddenly streaked across the sky at great speed. They flashed above Lin Xuan and were flying towards the distance, but after noticing Lin Xuan below, they suddenly turned back and stopped not far from Lin Xuan, revealing their true forms hidden within the red lights.
That person was from Alien Race!
Moreover, they were two Alien Race with purple-gold unicorn horns!
They surrounded Lin Xuan from the left and right, their scarlet eyes blazing with endless murderous intent!
The two Alien Race figures conveyed only one meaning in their eyes.
Prey! We've finally found it!
Lin Xuan looked at the two fierce-looking Alien Race and smiled.
At that moment, he had only one thing on his mind.
The prey has taken the bait!
