Open up and break into another world

"You've cleared the 31st floor of the Tower of Heavens?"

Clearing the 31st floor of the Tower of Heavens meant being a "Demigod"!

Purple Moon Holy Master said indifferently, "Why should I tell you?"

"Damn it!" Zhan Wuwei couldn't help but curse, "If you cleared it, you cleared it; if you didn't, you didn't. Why are you being so mysterious about it?"

"Palace Master," Zhan Wuwei then looked at the Limitless Sky Palace Master, "Do you know if he cleared it or not?"

"I know!" the Limitless Sky Palace Master said with a smile.

"Then hurry up and tell me!"

"Purple Moon told me to keep it a secret!" the Limitless Sky Palace Master said with a strange laugh.

"Uh…" Zhan Wuwei was immediately speechless.

"Just don't ask!" the Limitless Sky Palace Master said, "The fewer people who know how many Demigods our Human Race has, the better! We want to create an illusion, making it difficult for the alien races to figure out our strength. That way, the alien races won't dare to act rashly!"

"That's right…" Ye Tianhun also said, "If the alien races ever figure out the full extent of our Human Race's strength, then our race will be in danger!"

The Limitless Sky Palace Master smiled meaningfully and said, "Yes, walls have ears!"

After that, more Dao Lord experts arrived one after another.

Elder Tie Ning, Elder Maple Leaf, and Elder Mo Zixuan also came.

Soon, experts from all sides and many talented disciples arrived one after another.

The hour hand also pointed to noon, and the Ranking Battle officially began!

This Ranking Battle was hosted by Elder Ye Tianhun.

Ye Tianhun stood up and said with a smile, "Most of the disciples should already be very clear about the rules of the Ranking Battle. However, I'm worried that some of the new disciples may not know, so I'll go over them again!"

"Currently, there are more than ten thousand talented disciples in the God's Domain. The Ranking Battle is to determine the top one hundred disciples!"

The top one hundred rankings have different rewards depending on the ranking.

Those after one hundred will not be ranked. After all, there are too many talented disciples. Ranking them one by one would probably take tens of thousands of matches in one Ranking Battle, which would be too time-consuming; moreover, there are no rewards after one hundred, so there is no point in ranking them.

"Each disciple can freely choose an opponent and issue a challenge. The chosen opponent can be someone ranked higher than themselves, someone ranked lower than themselves, or even someone outside the top one hundred who is unranked."

"There is no limit to the number of challenges, but once defeated, there will be no more chances to challenge! The challenged must come on stage!"

Failing a "challenge" does not affect the opportunity to challenge others.

"After the Ranking Battle ends, the top one hundred disciples in the final ranking will be rewarded with time to comprehend the Chaos Stone Carvings!"

Xu Ming's eyes lit up.

A large part of the reason he came to participate in the Ranking Battle was for the time to comprehend the Chaos Stone Carvings!

After all, Xu Ming didn't lack other treasures! He even had a Demigod-tier warship! What he lacked was time to comprehend the Chaos Stone Carvings.

The more time he had to comprehend the Chaos Stone Carvings, the better!

Elder Ye Tianhun continued, "The first place will be rewarded with one hundred days to comprehend the Chaos Stone Carvings!"

"Second place, sixty days!"

"Third place, fifty days!"

"Fourth place, forty days!"

"Fifth place, thirty days!"

"Sixth to tenth, twenty days!"

"Eleventh to twentieth, ten days!"

"Twenty-first to thirtieth, nine days!"

…

"Ninety-first to one hundredth, two days!"

How precious was the time to comprehend the Chaos Stone Carvings!

You should know that ordinary geniuses only get one day of comprehension time every ten years.

Even "ten-thousand-year-level" geniuses only get five days every ten years!

Xu Ming was tentatively a "million-year-level" genius, so he had a little more; he had one hundred days every ten years.

And the Ranking Battle, which happened once every fifty years, directly rewarded one hundred days of comprehension time if you got first place! It was conceivable how many "old geniuses" who had cultivated for hundreds of years would fight desperately for the Ranking Battle!

The competition for "first place" would inevitably be extremely fierce!

At least, the competition for first place had always been very fierce in the past!

"Next, I will announce the rankings from the last Ranking Battle—defeat them, and you can take their ranking!"

"First place, Yan Mo!"

"Second place, Hua Jianying!"

These two people were both sitting next to Zhao Wenwei. Yan Mo was extremely indifferent, while Hua Jianying had an arrogant expression.

"Third place, Zhao Wenwei!"

When his name was called, Zhao Wenwei couldn't help but smile arrogantly.

"Fourth…"

…

"Ninth, Du Qianxiong!"

"Tenth…"

"Twentieth, Yang Wei…"

The most ⊥ new ⊥ small ⊥ said ⊥ is ⊥ at ⊥ six ⊥ 9 ⊥ ⊥ book ⊥ ⊥ bar ⊥ ⊥ first ⊥ hair!

"Fifty-seventh, Chen Hao…"

"One hundredth, Long Yiping!"

After reading out all one hundred rankings, Ye Tianhun said with a smile, "Now, the challenge begins, until the final ranking is determined!"

Whoosh—

The ten thousand disciples in the audience immediately burst into cheers and exclamations.

However…

Only a few hundred disciples had the real strength to break into the top one hundred. As for the others, they were just there to watch and make noise!

"Melon seeds, peanuts, immortal wine… anyone want some?"

"Front row seats for sale!"

"That senior brother, a bottle of Nine Radiance Divine Spring!"

"Okay!—Nine Radiance Divine Spring, a little salty!"

…

Amidst the clamor.

Whoosh!

A genius overflowing with rich life energy flashed and stepped onto the wide Heavenly Arena.

"It's a genius who cultivates the Wood Heavenly Dao!" Xu Ming glanced at him.

However, this person's ranking was not in the top one hundred, so Xu Ming didn't recognize him.

"Liu Fan," Elder Ye Tianhun shouted at the person on the battle stage, "Who do you want to challenge?"

Liu Fan's gaze swept over the geniuses in the top one hundred; finally, it landed on Chen Hao: "Chen Hao, come on stage and fight!"

Chen Hao's eyes narrowed slightly: "You want to challenge me?"

The surrounding area was also filled with discussions.

"Liu Fan actually directly challenged Chen Hao, who is ranked fifty-seventh!"

"Chen Hao's strength is much stronger than those geniuses ranked in the eighties and nineties!"

"This Liu Fan didn't even make it into the top one hundred in the last Ranking Battle; this time, he's so confident that he's challenging Chen Hao right from the start? You have to know that once you challenge someone and are defeated, you won't have another chance to challenge!"

"I don't know if it's confidence or arrogance!"

"Let's see! Liu Fan cultivates the Wood Heavenly Dao, and Chen Hao cultivates the Earth Heavenly Dao; he does have some restraint against Chen Hao!"

"There is indeed a slight relationship of mutual restraint between the Heavenly Daos, but it doesn't have a big impact; the main thing is to see whose understanding of the Heavenly Dao is deeper! I'm more optimistic about Chen Hao, after all, his foundation is more solid!"

"Let's wait and see!—Senior brothers and sisters, do you want to place bets?"

"Sure, who's going to open a betting house?"

…

Chen Hao's expression was calm as he flew onto the battle stage: "Liu Fan, it seems that you've made a lot of progress in the past fifty years! Otherwise, you wouldn't dare to challenge me!"

"Enough nonsense! Let's fight!"
