[World Rank 4…]
▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬
The higher the rank, the greater the benefits.
This is why the strong become stronger.
Even if it is only a 7-day period, it is enough to widen the gap between the professionals of different nations.
In this year's competition, some countries had exceptional individuals emerge.
For example:
The professional warrior Mogoyen from McDan of World Rank 45 achieved thirty consecutive kills in the third stage.
The Blue and Yellow Nation produced several 1v3 dueling experts.
The monster-slaying maniac Herusiye from Bashia…
These individuals all appeared in global news, becoming household names.
But the necromancer Zero from Dragon Nation was the one to ascend as a god in a single battle.
Originally, only those directly involved in the competition—specifically participants from Eastern Nation, Cold Country, Lighthouse Nation, and Alpine Nation—were intimidated by Zhang Yue's prowess.
However, after the competition officially ended and the live replay feature was unlocked, the footage of Zhang Yue demolishing top players from nations ranked in the top five, including Eastern Nation, Cold Country, and Lighthouse Nation, during the third stage was uploaded online.
By the fifth day after the competition's conclusion, Zhang Yue had soared to the top of the global trending rankings.
He was hailed by professionals worldwide as the "Newly Ascended God of Dragon Nation."
In his homeland, the Dragon Nation, Zhang Yue became a household name, a national hero in the eyes of the people.
["Zero, named by CCTV as the new top player in the national server. Dude, I wouldn't even dare to dream about that. Amazing, plus ultra!"]
["CCTV is being modest. Top player in the national server? I say Zero is the world's best. Anyone disagree?"]
["That scene of killing Inoue Kojiro was so satisfying. Since the competition ended yesterday, I've rewatched it over 500 times. Just amazing."]
From small guilds like Supreme, God of War, and Misty Rain Pavilion in Linhai City, Zhejiang Province, to top-tier guilds like Tian Clan, Glory, Chen Army, and Dragon Guild in Tianjing Longcheng, everyone who had crossed paths with Zhang Yue was left in awe.
Never in their wildest dreams had they imagined that someone they once considered an ordinary passerby could reach such heights.
For Misty Rain Pavilion, especially, Chairman Su Chen was filled with regret to the point of despair. He even dreamed of slapping himself awake in the middle of the night.
"Foolish! I've been utterly foolish!"
When Zhang Yue first started, he had applied to join Misty Rain Pavilion as a regular member.
If it weren't for Su Chen looking down on Zhang Yue and kicking him out of the guild, Misty Rain Pavilion could have soared to prominence on Zhang Yue's coattails.
But now, Misty Rain Pavilion remained a mere fifth-tier guild in Linhai City.
To Su Jinyan, Zhang Yue was now an unattainable figure.
If Zhang Yue's body's original owner's ex-girlfriend Lin Yue were still alive, she'd probably want to crawl into a hole and disappear.
Even the newly found guild Heavens Hall, which Zhang Yue had created, had already surpassed Misty Rain Pavilion in rankings.
Since Heavens Hall was registered in Linhai City, Zhejiang Province, its guild headquarters remained tied to the province even after Zhang Yue moved to Tianjing.
Thanks to this year's competition, Heavens Hall's guild ranking skyrocketed—from 75th place in Linhai City to:
[Linhai City's First]
[Zhejiang Province's Fifth]
[National Guild Rank: Ninth]
From regional qualifiers, league battles, and national challenges to the global finals, Zhang Yue personally contributed 220,000 glory points.
According to the rule that newly registered guilds receive quintuple points for placing in the top three of any competition within three years, Zhang Yue single-handedly brought Heavens Hall 1.1 million glory points.
Adding Luo Chen's 300,000 points contribution, the two of them carried the entire Heavens Hall on their backs.
Old guilds with over a decade of history couldn't even compare to Heavens Hall's one-year score.
This is what true strength looks like.
As for Eastern Nation, their loss was devastating.
The legendary professional they had nurtured over the past five years using 10% of the nation's resources—Inoue Kojiro, the only Absolute Warrior—was cut down during the competition. This was a colossal loss for them.
When Eastern Nation Emperor Inoue Amano learned that his only son had been killed by a Dragon Nation professional, he was heartbroken.
"Kojiro, I swear I will avenge you!"
After the competition, professionals from all over the world seized the next seven days of bonus experience and Energy gains, grinding monsters day and night.
Zhang Yue was no exception.
Even though he was now a national celebrity and hero, he still needed to level up.
While the Energy bonus was trivial, the 80% experience bonus was a significant advantage that he couldn't afford to miss.
Zhang Yue returned to the Eleventh Realm.
During the free time between competitions, Zhang Yue had already obtained nine golden Demon Sealing Talismans in the Eleventh Realm. His level had also reached Level 69 (72%).
Today's mission was clear: collect enough Demonic Energy Points to complete the final golden Demon Sealing Talisman, claim the realm rewards, and level up to Level 70.
Upon reaching Level 70, he would unlock his Third Advancement, acquire new SS Skills, equip the Transcendent Set, upgrade the Extinction Black Dragon, and march towards Gate of Eternity…
In the Eleventh Realm: Calamity of Myriad Demons, this would likely be Zhang Yue's final time entering the Demon Sealing Tower.
This time, the target was the Snow Demon.

▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬
As the pinnacle of the Eleventh Realm, the Snow Demon's stats were exceptionally powerful.
But in Zhang Yue's eyes, all beings are equal.
Approaching a group of dozens of Snow Demons gathered in the distance, golden light radiated from Zhang Yue's body.
This was the effect of the SSS Unique Skill: Glory · War God's Physique.
Entering his range, Zhang Yue raised his staff and unleashed Thunder Grip, followed by Thunderstorm Tempest.
BOOM!
A massive hurricane manifested in the center of the monster group, lightning bolts crackling chaotically and striking the Snow Demons.
-466,460!
-466,460!
Under three consecutive hits of 460,000+ damage, all the Snow Demons with only 910,000 HP were instantly annihilated.
