NOVEL WEB Chapter 164: Group Members Shaken
Just then, an arrogant young man stepped out and looked at everyone with disdain. Upon hearing his words, everyone was initially angered, but after seeing this young man, their eyes immediately cleared.
"It's Young Master Tang San... the Tang family's renowned Genius, a Prodigy of the initial generation," someone who recognized the young man exclaimed in surprise. He was famous throughout Five Elements State.
Seeing that someone recognized him, Young Master Tang San became even more Divine Qi. He calmly walked towards the stone tablet, his body glowing with runes, then unleashed his precious art. A terrifying light flashed. The stone tablet let out a loud bang.
"It's the Forbidden Net Precious Art... Legend has it that this is a precious art Young Master Tang San was born with... Its power is terrifying, capable of sealing everything!"
"There was once an initial generation Prodigy who used Gu and contended with him, but his Gu art was sealed... That Prodigy fell into a state of bewilderment ever since, never recovering!"
"Another initial generation with a 'Yin Soul' talent challenged him. That initial generation had a precious art of vengeful spirit resurrection, but in the end, it was still sealed, leaving him only half-crippled..." Everyone was shocked upon hearing this. The initial generation was already someone beyond their reach, yet several had fallen at Young Master Tang San's hands.
As Young Master Tang San unleashed the Forbidden Net Precious Art, the stone tablet trembled violently, emitting an incomparably dazzling light. "He succeeded, he successfully resonated with the stone tablet, he can leave his name now..." Many people were surprised. So many people before had been unable to leave their names, but with his single move, he immediately could.
A blank space appeared at the top of the stone tablet, shining brilliantly. Young Master Tang San smiled triumphantly, then wrote his name on it. After the endless rays of light receded, his name appeared on the giant tablet.
"Ninety-second place, he can actually rank ninety-second on this stone tablet..." Countless people were astonished. Although Young Master Tang San was arrogant, he indeed possessed strength. He was actually able to rank ninety-second among all extraordinary talents throughout history.
Everyone showed reverence, as if he was unapproachable. When he had mocked them, they only felt anger. Now, seeing his mythic achievement, they no longer dared to harbor thoughts of comparison.
"Aren't you going to try? You can contend against the Heavenly River... your strength should also be able to leave a name on the stone tablet!" Someone who couldn't stand Young Master Tang San's arrogance turned and looked at Yang Qi. This person had witnessed Yang Qi resisting the Divine Might of the Heavenly River and believed his strength was greater. He wanted Yang Qi to deflate Young Master Tang San's arrogance.
"Just you?" Young Master Tang San looked at Yang Qi with disdain. "An unknown nobody... Your name isn't even seen in the Five Elements State, can you leave your name on this stone tablet?"
Yang Qi, with his youthful Heart-Nature, was inherently interested in such ostentatious matters. Hearing Young Master Tang San's provocation, how could he endure it? "A mere ninety-second place dares to bark?"
"Watch as I knock you down a rank..." Yang Qi snorted coldly, then strode to the front of the stone tablet. With a grab of his hand, the Nether God's Spear immediately appeared in his grasp. He thrust his long spear, and Giant Elephants trumpeted loudly. It was as if a herd of elephants appeared behind him, their footsteps trampling the air and causing the entire ground to tremble continuously. Space itself was being trampled by his True Qi. The Divine Elephant Suppressing Prison Force was pushed to its extreme. The terrifying power of the ancient Giant Elephants concentrated and erupted at a single point. On the spearhead of the Nether God's Spear, the image of a Pure Land of Gods materialized, seemingly real yet illusory.
The terrifying attack instantly landed on the stone tablet. In an instant, rays of light filled the sky, and the ancient tablet resonated, as one Dao flower after another emerged, and starlight completely enveloped this area.
"What happened..." Hundreds of miles away, many people turned their heads, gazing in shock at the abnormal phenomenon. "Let's go back and see..."
"Oh my goodness, who is that... The emergence of such a person is destined to shake the world!" People near the passage were exclaiming loudly, utterly shocked. They vaguely saw the scene on the stone tablet. People further away stared blankly at the magnificent scene. This scene was like a great sun traversing the Void Realm. Someone left their name on the stone tablet, illuminating the entire Void Realm and suppressing many names that had shaken ancient and modern times.
Those who were paying attention to Yang Qi were even more incredulous. "Who exactly is this person, able to contend against the Heavenly River by himself, and now dominating the top, overpowering the world... It's simply unbelievable!"
"He emerged out of nowhere, such a Heaven-Defying existence suddenly appeared..."
People closer by had their eyes stinging; the light was too dazzling. The battle power ranking, which had been silent for countless years, was changed. This person, high above, took the first place. The stone tablet emitted light, and Divine Qi soared into the sky, unable to calm down for a long time.
"The stone tablet has revived! Even figures of the Supreme level couldn't make this stone tablet revive... But now this stone tablet..." People were utterly shocked. Everyone saw the figure within the radiant light. A young man holding a long spear stood high above, exuding an overbearing aura.
"Black Emperor..." Someone saw the name left by the young man. That name stood high above. Originally, there were three names on the list that were as high as Qin Changsheng, tied for first place. As a result, this person appeared and immediately pushed all of them down.
"This, this, how is this possible..." Young Master Tang San was stunned. He watched helplessly as his name dropped one place, from ninety-second to ninety-third. "How can your strength be so strong... even surpassing the Undying Heavenly Venerate!" He was incredulous.
Among the three major rankings, battle power was the most fundamental manifestation and the most valuable. And now, Yang Qi had broken the list that had remained unchanged for countless years, achieving a myth! Black Emperor? This person was destined to become the focus of discussion for the world.
It was believed that soon, the Ten States would experience a great earthquake, and countless people would rush here. Even the Undying Heavenly Venerate would not be able to sit still and would come to witness this.
"You rank ninety-second because you only have the level of ninety-second... My brother ranks first because the upper limit of this stone tablet is first!" Meng Qi also spoke disdainfully to Young Master Tang San. Then he stepped forward and also came before the stone tablet. A golden light appeared on his body, and an incomparably massive Dharma Body emerged behind him! Dazzling golden light enveloped the entire area, and Meng Qi controlled his Dharma Body to punch out fiercely.
"Boom!" The stone tablet let out a loud roar, once again erupting with incomparably dazzling light. Divine Light shone in all directions, and countless people were shocked once more. People saw the abnormal phenomenon appear again and were seething with excitement.
"Another Supreme-level existence!!!"
"The blank space on the stone tablet has appeared, and the position is still above the Undying Heavenly Venerate!" People stared in shock at the abnormal phenomenon forming in the sky. Under the watchful eyes of all, Meng Qi slowly wrote a pseudonym: "Limitless Sword Venerate!" This name carried a certain earnest hope of his.
"Limitless Sword Venerate? What an arrogant name, to dare call himself a Venerate at such a young age? Haha, this must be specifically aimed at Undying Mountain, right? Also calling himself a Venerate, yet his Limitless Sword Venerate is above the Undying Heavenly Venerate..."
"This is a bald man... He should be from the Western Sect, right? That golden body of his should be a secret not passed down by the Western Sect, right? Why take the name Limitless Sword Venerate..."
"I haven't seen Limitless Sword Venerate use a sword..." The discussions were endless. There was a commotion in front of the stone tablet. This was truly too astonishing. Suddenly, two figures emerged, even more formidable than the Undying Heavenly Venerate in his youth. If such figures grew up, the Ten States would experience a great earthquake. People looked at Yang Qi and Meng Qi with eyes full of reverence. Meng Qi's name was still after Yang Qi's; his battle power was slightly inferior.
Lin Dong, seeing this scene, also couldn't hold back. He took a step forward and then walked to the front of the stone tablet. "This is someone who came with Black Emperor and Limitless Sword Venerate..." When people saw Lin Dong appear, their emotions were ignited once more. Those known as Black Emperor and Limitless Sword Venerate were so terrifying. This person traveled with those two, so his strength must not be far off, right? They looked forward to Lin Dong's performance.
Lin Dong stood in the Void Realm, his robes fluttering in the wind. "Great Desolate Imprisoning Heavens Finger!" He didn't hesitate, fiercely flicking a finger. Countless Origin Qi condensed into a gigantic finger in the Void Realm, a colossal finger like a pillar of heaven, smashing heavily onto the stone tablet. The stone tablet let out a rumbling roar. In an instant, countless rays of light flew, and terrifying abnormal phenomena appeared on the stone tablet.
Those closer knew that Meng Qi and the others were a group coming to challenge the stone tablet. Upon seeing the abnormal phenomena appear, their hearts were filled only with excitement and thrill. Those far away, who saw these terrifying abnormal phenomena one after another, were all dumbfounded.
When did so many Geniuses suddenly appear in the Ten States? What was even more critical was that they all surpassed Qin Changsheng. This was the Undying Heavenly Venerate! Heaven knew how long Qin Changsheng's name had been on the stone tablet.
The stone tablet had not changed once in tens of thousands of years. Now, however, it changed one after another. They all had to wonder if this stone tablet had been left for too long and had broken.
"What force is this?" The people of Undying Mountain were all enraged upon seeing this scene. They could not tolerate someone suddenly emerging and surpassing Qin Changsheng. And surpassing Qin Changsheng was one thing; they were even doing it as a group, one after another, surpassing him. Qin Changsheng, who was originally first, had now been pushed down to fourth. After today, the Undying Heavenly Venerate would probably become a laughingstock in other people's mouths.
"White Emperor!" Lin Dong left his title on the stone tablet. This was the name he had used when he left his name in the Virtual God Realm of the Lower Realm. His name appeared second on the list. His strength and Meng Qi's were not vastly different. However, Meng Qi's main strength was defense, which was taking a beating. In terms of offensive battle power, he was slightly inferior to Lin Dong. At this moment, Young Master Tang San was already numb. His ranking dropped again.
Shi Jian glanced at Young Master Tang San. The Forbidden Net Precious Art was impressive, but now it was the first year of the Heavenly Emperor! Shi Jian slowly stepped forward and then stood in front of the stone tablet. His mind and body were clear, and his flesh began to glow. With a low roar, he began to exert his power. With a bang, he shook the Divine Tablet. Brilliant Divine Light soared into the sky, and the ancient tablet resonated, producing one Dao flower after another. Immortal light completely engulfed this area.
Shi Jian floated in the air and lightly carved four words: "Unrestricted!" The four characters instantly appeared at the very top of the stone tablet. In terms of battle power, the current Yang Qi was still not as good as Shi Jian. Countless people's eyes were painfully dazzled by these four characters.
"Unrestricted... This person actually dares to take such a name..." Countless people gasped upon seeing these four characters. Although the previous titles like White Emperor, Black Emperor, and Limitless Sword Venerate were resounding, they were fitting for their talent.
Now, however, Shi Jian dared to name himself Unrestricted. What arrogance and audacity was this? Unrestricted, meaning without any scruples or restraints. Even an Immortal would not dare to utter such words or take such a title, which was undoubtedly a provocation to everyone in the world. Disrespectful to Immortals, fearless of Gods.
What if you are the leader of a great sect? What if you are a banished Immortal from heaven? I am Unrestricted, fearless. This person was so arrogant that he believed nothing in this world could restrain him, that no one could make him wary. He considered himself the number one in the world!
