Joy Turns to Sorrow, a Crushing Blow

Chen Jie glanced at the comments in the live stream, his face instantly stiffened, his previous joy vanished, and an ominous premonition surged into his heart.

He quickly entered the Trial Tower with his Divine Sense and looked at the Void Return Realm Combat Power Ranking. Ye Qingxue was the number one, while he himself had been squeezed into the second place.

This scene left him completely stunned.

Having just defeated the formidable Jian Lingxu, and before he could even properly celebrate and bask in the admiring gazes of the crowd, Ye Qingxue poured cold water on his enthusiasm.

The smugness and joy in his heart vanished in an instant, and he cried out in surprise:

"Impossible!

how so?

"What kind of magic pill did Ye Qingxue take to surpass me all at once?"

His lapse in composure caused the live stream chat to explode, filled with hilarious banter:

"Hahaha! I can't laugh anymore! Chen Jie was so smug just now, he's completely dumbfounded now. This extreme high and low has totally shattered his composure!"

"I used to watch Chen Jie act all cool every day, but today I finally saw him lose his composure like this, it's so satisfying!"

"Rejoice! Finally, someone has managed to outmaneuver Chen Jie! And just when he was basking in victory, they dealt him a crushing blow. Ye Qingxue did a fantastic job!"

"Hahaha! You guys are so mean! But I love seeing Chen Jie's dumbfounded look, it's hilarious."

"This plot is too dramatic! One moment we're watching Chen Jie beat up his opponent and show off the power of my system host, and the next he's completely dumbfounded. It's so satisfying!"

Su Yuxuan was still reeling from Chen Jie's victory over Jian Lingxu when she suddenly heard Chen Jie's exclamation.

She snapped out of her daze in an instant, her face filled with astonishment.

She quickly probed the Trial Tower with her Divine Sense, her gaze landing on the Void Return Realm Combat Power Ranking.

Ye Qingxue has now taken the top spot.

This scene deeply shocked her.

Ye Qingxue's ascent to the top of the rankings means that her combat power has surpassed that of Chen Jie.

Since Chen Jie had just defeated Jian Lingxu, it can be inferred that Ye Qingxue also possesses the strength to defeat Jian Lingxu.

This... this is unbelievable!

It should be known that Jian Lingxu is the reincarnation of Immortal King, possessing immense strength, and should be hard to find an opponent in the same realm.

She was already shocked by his defeat at Chen Jie's hands, but now Ye Qingxue has surpassed Chen Jie to become the top of the Void Return Realm Combat Power Ranking.

Thinking back to his previous life, how majestic Jian Lingxu was, dominating the world and having few rivals.

But now, two outstanding talents have emerged who can surpass him.

Is this the change brought about by Fairness System?

Anything is possible!

Even if one is a reincarnated Immortal King, one can only be defeated when faced with a cheat-like opponent.

In this era of systems, no one can remain invincible forever.

Upon realizing this, Su Yuxuan suddenly noticed that the awe she felt for Jian Lingxu, who was the reincarnation of Immortal King, had quietly vanished.

An unprecedented feeling of comfort swept through her body, her mind became clear and lucid, and her State of Mind improved.

Jian Lingxu was momentarily stunned upon hearing Chen Jie's exclamation.

He had just been defeated by his opponent, and in the blink of an eye, he heard that someone had surpassed Chen Jie.

What exactly happened?

Chen Jie had clearly been in this spot the whole time and hadn't fought anyone, so how could he suddenly be overtaken?

Who exactly is Ye Qingxue, that she could possibly defeat Chen Jie?

He admitted that his defeat was due to momentary carelessness; he hadn't expected Chen Jie to risk using Spatial Teleportation teleportation.

However, he acknowledged Chen Jie's abilities.

The opponent's combat strength is definitely no less than ours.

But seeing his outburst just now, which didn't seem like he was lying, Jian Lingxu's heart sank.

Doesn't this mean that yet another prodigy has emerged who can defeat him?

He simply couldn't believe it!

He was the reincarnation of Immortal King, possessing the cultivation experience, insights into the Great Dao, and combat experience of his previous life. He also cultivated the Immortal King -level Cultivation Method, the Heavenly Sword Scripture.

Logically, one should be invincible within the same realm.

You must know that in his previous life, before he became an immortal, he was also a peerless genius who had never had an opponent.

But now, in this Age of Dharma Decline, two beings have emerged who surpass him, and there is also Liu Yi, whose existence is unknown.

This is simply illogical!

Even with his powerful Immortal King State of Mind, he couldn't hold back any longer and couldn't help but shout:

"Chen Jie! What did you mean just now? Could it be that someone's strength has surpassed yours?"

Chen Jie snapped out of his daze upon hearing the sound and had already accepted the fact that Ye Qingxue had overtaken him.

He retracted his mecha, his figure blurred, and he landed in front of Jian Lingxu, spreading his hands helplessly:

"Although I don't want to admit it, that's the truth."

There is indeed someone whose strength surpasses mine now, but I will definitely surpass her again later.

Upon hearing this, Jian Lingxu was completely dumbfounded.

Someone actually beat Chen Jie!

He simply couldn't believe it, much less accept this outcome.

He himself was a reincarnation of Immortal King, yet he had been defeated by Chen Jie, Chen Jie in turn had been surpassed by Ye Qingxue.

Doesn't that mean Ye Qingxue also possesses the strength to defeat him?

The moment this thought arose, even his Immortal King State of Mind was thrown into turmoil.

He wasn't without suspicion that Chen Jie was lying, but the other party had no reason to belittle himself.

Judging from Chen Jie's previous loss of composure, he had clearly suffered a significant blow.

Jian Lingxu was filled with bewilderment. "How could this Age of Dharma Decline be so strange?"

There are so many experts... It feels even more abnormal than in High Antiquity times!

Seeing the grim expressions on Jian Lingxu and Chen Jie's faces, the crowd exchanged glances and whispered amongst themselves.

"Chen Jie just defeated Jian Lingxu, he should be in high spirits, so why is he so dejected? What's going on here?"

"From what Chen Jie said, it seems that someone is more capable than him."

"How could that be? Judging from the sheer force of their earth-shattering duel just now, it would be difficult to find a match for them among all the geniuses of the Central Region."

"Let alone Chen Jie, even Jian Lingxu would probably be able to dominate the Central Region."

Although he uttered the arrogant claim of being "invincible among his peers," he truly had the confidence to back it up; ordinary prodigies were utterly no match for him.

"Yes! It's unbelievable that someone stronger than Chen Jie has suddenly appeared out of nowhere. When did the world produce so many astonishingly talented geniuses?"

"Sigh, judging from Chen Jie's flustered state, he's definitely not faking it; he has no reason to lie to us."

"Forget it, whatever the reason, with our strength, we are not qualified to get involved in the disputes of these top geniuses."

Now, even the Crimson Blood Marrow Refining Fruit is out of reach; one can only remain a spectator here.

Seeing everyone's flustered state, especially Jian Lingxu's bewildered expression, Su Yuxuan couldn't help but smile with amusement.

He was so full of vigor before, claiming to be invincible among his peers. Now, even if his Dao heart had not collapsed, his State of Mind was in great turmoil. He couldn't even maintain his State of Mind like Immortal King.

And then there's Chen Jie. His arrogance and confidence from just moments ago are still fresh in our minds, but now he's been stunned by a sudden blow. It's really hilarious.

A moment later, she composed herself, her figure flickered, and she transformed into a streak of light, soaring straight into the clouds.

"Fellow Daoist Ding, the Crimson Blood Marrow Refining Fruit is about to ripen. Let's finish this quickly so we can determine our rankings!"
