Time passed day by day.
Soon, only three days remained until the opening of the Sacred Realm, and Lin An had just finished all the preparations.
"In half an hour, the throne of the Battle Ranking will descend. For the next three days, only by holding onto your throne can you enter the Sacred Realm when Sacred Realm opens."
Meng Yuan looked at Lin An Andao.
"Are there any rules for the challenge?" Lin An asked.
"During this period, anyone who challenges you must accept; you cannot refuse."
"Of course, the rankings can't be too far apart. For example, a prodigy ranked 1,000th on the Battle Ranking can only challenge someone ranked 900th, and so on."
Once you reach the top 100, you can only challenge opponents who are ranked a maximum of ten places higher than you at a time.
If the target you are challenging is currently engaged in combat, you will need to wait until their battle ends.
"..."
Meng Yuan explained some of the rules to Lin An, Lin An nodded in satisfaction after listening.
With his current ranking of fourteenth, he could directly challenge for fourth place, and then challenge for first place.
"What if they stall for time?" Lin An suddenly asked.
They cannot be challenged during battle, and if both sides stall for time, they can completely drag it out until the Sacred Realm opens.
"Don't worry, unlike usual, the flow of time on the battlefield will be different from the outside world."
"One month on the battlefield is roughly equivalent to half an hour outside. If the battle hasn't ended within a month, the Battle Ranking will determine the winner based on the condition of both sides."
Meng Yuan smiled and said, "There's no way you can stall for time."
Lin An nodded, relieved to hear that.
As the two spoke, they arrived in the Battle Realm.
Besides him, there were two young men and two women in the main hall.
"Those four are also the pride of our Human Race. Although they are not ranked as high as you, they are all on the Battle Ranking and will participate in the throne battle this time."
As Meng Yuan spoke, he introduced the four people to Lin An, and the two sides became acquainted.
"I have long admired Brother Lin and wanted to pay him a visit in person, but unfortunately Lin An has been in seclusion all this time, so I am only meeting him now."
A young man smiled and said, "This person is named Wu Tianshan, and he is currently ranked 296th on the Battle Ranking."
Before Lin An appeared, the other party was considered the number one genius of the Human Race.
"Brother Lin, are you confident you can take first place?"
Wu Tianshan asked, "Our Human Race has never reached the top of the Battle Ranking before. If Brother Lin can take first place, it will be a first for our Human Race."
"It's worth a try."
Lin An smiled and said, not making any absolute statements.
"Brother Lin, I heard you come from the Domain. How is the situation Domain now?"
"I had heard before that the Domain was lacking in resources, making it difficult for geniuses to emerge, but now that I've met Brother Lin, I think that statement may not be true."
"..."
The other three chatted with Lin An, Lin An responded with a smile, and the atmosphere was quite harmonious.
Rumble...
Just as everyone was chatting, the entire Battle Realm suddenly trembled, and then beams of light descended from the sky.
"Look! The throne has descended! The battle for the throne has begun!"
"I wonder who will sit on that throne this time; it'll probably be the Dragon Race again."
"That's not necessarily true. The current number one on the Battle Ranking is Ye Wuya of the Nether Race. He might be able to secure his throne. And don't forget that the Human Race has also produced a prodigy this time."
" Lin An of the Human Race? This person's strength is indeed terrifying. He is currently ranked fourteenth on the Battle Ranking, and he really has a chance to sit on the throne."
"Although that Human Race Lin An is powerful, the prodigies of my myriad races are not weak either. It is still unknown who will win."
"..."
The Battle Realm was extremely lively today, with even some powerful figures from various races who were originally in seclusion emerging from their retreats to enter the Battle Realm.
Although they didn't have the chance to participate in the battle and enter the Sacred Realm, they could still watch the excitement.
[The battle for the throne has begun. All top 1,000 geniuses from all Battle Ranking are invited to enter. Those who fail to appear within half an hour will be removed from the Battle Ranking.]
A grand voice resounded throughout the Battle Realm.
"Gentlemen, let's set off."
Wu Tianshan smiled and then his figure turned into a white light and disappeared.
Lin An nodded, and with a thought, an invisible force teleported him, and in the next instant he arrived at a huge plaza.
The square was enveloped by a pillar of light.
This is the battle platform where he Battle Ranking. Behind him, there are thirteen other battle platforms, the most dazzling of which is the battle platform where he ranks first on the Battle Ranking.
Unlike the other battle arenas, the battle arena at the top of the Battle Ranking features a purple-gold throne, the so-called royal throne.
"Is the person ranked first on the Battle Ranking really just because they have one more Origin Fragment than the person ranked second?"
Lin An couldn't help but become suspicious.
Although there is only one place difference between the first and second place, the difference between the two is enormous. If it were just a matter of missing one Origin Fragment, there would be no need to fight for first place.
"Perhaps there are other rewards, but Elder Meng Yuan doesn't know them either."
Lin An thought to himself, after all, since the Battle Ranking appeared, Human Race has ever won first Battle Ranking.
If there were any benefits to being number one, it would be normal for Human Race not to know.
"You'll know once I'm in first place."
Lin An withdrew his gaze. There was still less than half an hour before the battle officially began, so he could take a look at the other geniuses of the myriad races.
Lin An's gaze swept across the other battle stages, where many prodigies and geniuses were already present.
He had only heard of many of these races, and this was the first time he had seen them alive.
At this moment, Lin An suddenly saw a figure appear on a battle platform in front of him; it was none other than the familiar dragon.
It was Ao Che.
He didn't expect that his opponent, who had previously lost to him and dropped to 82nd place on the Battle Ranking, would now be ranked 15th.
" Lin An, we meet again."
Ao Che looked at Lin An with a smile.
"Your aura is stronger than before," Lin An said.
The opponent's cultivation level remained unchanged, but the aura of Eternal emanating from him was even stronger than before.
Moreover, he could sense that the quality of the other party's bloodline had also changed, and their strength had increased by at least 30% compared to before.
"So what if I get stronger? I'm still no match for you." Ao Che shrugged.
In the past, if Ao Che had increased his strength by 30% in just over ten days, he would have been extremely excited.
Even with his increased strength, he knew he still had no chance of winning against Lin An.
He could withstand one blow at most, but the second blow would kill him at Lin An's hands, just like before, without any change.
"I didn't intend to fight you either," Lin An said with a smile.
"That's true, the one who's most troubled right now is probably Lei Yun," Ao Che said.
Lei Yun, ranked fourth on the Battle Ranking, comes from the Thunder Marsh Race, one of the top races.
The Thunder Marsh Race is said to have been born from the thunderstorms at the beginning of time, and are naturally endowed with the two thunderous rules of destruction and creation.
It can even briefly transform into the heavenly tribulation lightning, acting as the embodiment of divine punishment!
Lin An couldn't help but look at the fourth-place battle platform, where a figure formed entirely of lightning stood.
When Lin An looked over, the other person also looked at him.
The two nodded to each other as a greeting.
