Chapter 853: Chapter 438: Ranking Battle_5
Break strength with power!
However, even the strongest Divine Fire Warrior, no matter how ferocious his attack, could hardly touch Jing Kui’s body… His swordsmanship was like thunder and lightning.
His movement technique was as swift as lightning, flickering in the shaking void, making it impossible for anyone to predict his trajectory.
Sword lights whistled through the air, precisely striking the body of the Divine Fire Warrior, with every thrust inflicting injury.
As the sword strikes accumulated, the Divine Fire Warrior’s injuries worsened.
“It’s time to end this.”
Jing Kui’s gaze was ice-cold. He suddenly lunged forward with another thrust, like a bolt of lightning following a freshly torn wound, instantly striking the Divine Fire Warrior’s body, where the dreadful might fully erupted.
Like the final straw breaking the camel’s back.
This thrust directly struck the core of the Divine Fire Warrior’s body, causing his massive figure to disperse and vanish.
“The seventh layer!” Jing Kui, full of high-spirited elegance, took a brief rest before breaking into the seventh layer.
The difficulty of the seventh layer soared once again.
After slaying over a hundred Divine Fire Warriors, Jing Kui was besieged by an overwhelming number of Divine Fire Warriors, and the layer of flame light on the surface of his body continuously faded… The moment it completely disappeared, he vanished from the seventh layer.
In the Divine Fire Hall, as Jing Kui’s Points froze, his name dimmed slightly.
Jing Kui fell from the massive space vortex, landing directly on the ground and immediately closed his eyes to recuperate.
The fierce battle had also greatly depleted him.
The Hall fell into a strange silence, with nearly everyone involuntarily glancing at Jing Kui.
Although these Semi-Divine geniuses had not witnessed Jing Kui’s combat, his Points told them all about his formidable prowess.
“Peak of Pseudo-God strength, right?” Li Yuan sighed inwardly: “Even the Dongfang Alliance Leader wouldn’t dare to claim he’s stronger than him.”
Of course, this was judging from Dongfang Ji’s strength when he started.
One by one, the Semi-Divines from the top thousand rankings began to fall, with most struggling to break 3000 Points.
Eventually, when all one thousand had been defeated, fewer than 400 had surpassed 3000 Points… and the Points ranking of the top thousand had not differed much from the final rankings of the battle five years ago.
“Made it past the sixth layer.”
“Jing Kui has reached the strength of the Peak of Pseudo-God? This!”
“Is the gap between us and Jing Kui really this big?” Yue Shan, Dong Pan, Bai Feng, and other Semi-Divine Saint Heirs saw Jing Kui’s score, and their expressions couldn’t help but change.
As everyone’s means differ, the Points ranking may not entirely reflect strength.
Ranked second, for example, was Dong Pan Semi-Divine, ending with 5564 Points.
Yue Shan managed to climb to the fourth place!
There were a total of 22 individuals with over 5000 Points, and 94 with over 4000 Points.
However, a vast difference in Points often meant a gap in strength that was hard to overcome.
Jing Kui, through his actions, proved his status as the ‘Number One Person on the Semi-Divine List’.
“Semi-Divine ranks 1001 to 2000, enter the Divine Fire Tower,” ordered Chi Yang True God directly.
Batches of Semi-Divines entered the Divine Fire Tower, but as the order progressed, the average strength weakened, and after rank 5000, even reaching 3000 Points became a rare occurrence.
Clearly, for the vast majority of Semi-Divines, it was very tough to undergo a qualitative change in strength in five years.
Just half an hour later, it was the turn of ranks 8001 to 9000, the Semi-Divine Reserve Members, to enter the Divine Fire Tower.
This batch of Reserve Members
Since many were freshly inducted into Jue Xing Ancient City, quite a few stood out, breaking past 2000 Points directly.
Some even approached 3000 Points, directly shooting into the top thousand ranks.
This was quite a spectacle.
Jiang Shan scored over 2700 Points. While not the most dazzling, it was remarkable given his age.
This score indicated that his strength was enormously close to the Intermediate Rank of Pseudo-God.
“Haha! Made it! Made it!” Jiang Shan was incredibly excited; achieving his target was no small feat.
He felt that his hopes of becoming a True God Inner Sect Disciple were rising.
Jiang Shan couldn’t help but turn his head to look at Li Yuan not too far away, thinking to himself: “I wonder how many Points Xu Yuan could score, 3000? 4000?”
As this batch of Semi-Divines was all in, the first stage of the Semi-Divine ranking battle was drawing to a close, with only the last three hundred or so Semi-Divines left.
Throughout the Hall, nearly every Flying Heaven and Semi-Divine could not help but look towards Li Yuan.
In the last batch of Semi-Divines, the most dazzling, without a doubt, was Li Yuan.
Moreover, with Li Yuan’s bet with Bai Feng Semi-Divine, the attention was even greater.
“What do you think, how far can Xu Yuan break through?”
“He just broke through to Semi-Divine, even with Eight Star Veins, but his Origin Power Cultivation might not be enough. It will be tough to even score 2000 Points.”
“If he dares to bet, he should at least be able to score 3000 Points, right?” Many Semi-Divines and Flying Heavens whispered and discussed among themselves.
Most people still believed Li Yuan should be able to break through 3000 Points, a benchmark.
But reaching the higher 4000 Points? Even those with the most confidence in Li Yuan like Yue Shan, Yang Di, Jiang Shan, and others didn’t dare say for certain that he could achieve it.
After all, so far only 94 people had surpassed 4000 Points.
In a moment of silence, Chi Yang True God said solemnly: “The remaining Semi-Divine Reserve Members, enter the Divine Fire Tower.”
Li Yuan, Qi Xia, Ji Yan, Wu Beihong, and other newly inducted Semi-Divines, freshly advanced Semi-Divines, all transformed into streaks of light rushing into the space vortex in the void.
For an instant, the vast majority of all Semi-Divines and Flying Heavens turned to look at the last name on the giant light screen on the other side—Li Yuan.
