CHAPTER 507: CHAPTER 489: RENOWNED IN CHAOS!
"Wang Xu?"
"Who is Wang Xu?"
"Is there such a figure among the peak geniuses? Why have I never heard of him? Could he be a newly risen peak genius?"
"Which clan’s Divine Palace does he come from? Is his strength actually greater than Dong Qiuxu’s?"
For a moment, discussions arose, and all Celestial Gods, including the peak geniuses of the Eternal Generations Celestial God and Billion Era Celestial God, speculated about who "Wang Xu" really was.
"I’m ranked first... It seems the Celestial God List was not mistaken."
In comparison, Wang Xu himself appeared extremely calm.
Among the Hundred Generations Celestial Gods, there was fundamentally none who could be his match, making his first-place position well-deserved.
In the crowd, only a few people’s gazes turned towards Wang Xu.
These gazes naturally came from the seven peak geniuses who refined the Hundred Generations Celestial God Stone before Wang Xu, among whom was a handsome man clad in a blood-red robe, wearing a blood-red crown, his eyes crimson and filled with complexity.
This man was none other than Dong Qiuxu, the foremost peak genius from the Upper Blood Divine Palace.
Among the Hundred Generations Celestial Gods, Dong Qiuxu was unrivaled in second place, a testament to both his innate talent and his strength.
Even the peak geniuses from other clan’s Divine Palaces felt inferior in his presence.
However, just when he thought he could stably secure first place, unexpectedly, a Hundred Generations Celestial God named "Wang Xu" emerged midway.
"Who on earth is this person?"
Dong Qiuxu wondered.
"Next, it’s the Eternal Generations Celestial God List."
The Taiyang Palace Master paid no mind to the discussions. With the unveiling of the Hundred Generations Celestial God List complete, the focus shifted directly to unveiling the Eternal Generations Celestial God List.
The suspense surrounding the Eternal Generations Celestial God List was minimal, as it was still dominated by those few peak geniuses from various clan Divine Palaces.
Soon after, came the Billion Era Celestial God List.
"As expected, it is once again ’Zhu Qinghou’ who tops the list."
When the first name on the Billion Era Celestial God List was announced, a clamor erupted among the crowd, although most of it was to express congratulations to Zhu Qinghou.
The premier position on the Billion Era Celestial God List afforded a future opportunity to become a figure akin to a Great Emperor, making it natural for people to be eager to cultivate good relations early on.
"Now begins the final round of ranking changes."
Taiyang Palace Master spoke, "Each of you has one opportunity to challenge someone ranked above you. For the sake of fairness, I will arrange for you all to battle in the ’Virtual Illusion Realm.’
"Virtual Illusion Realm?"
Wang Xu had never heard of it.
But soon enough, the murmurs from the crowd filled Wang Xu with a complete understanding of what the Virtual Illusion Realm entailed.
Simply put, the Virtual Illusion Realm simulates all Celestial Gods. Whether it’s realm, secret techniques, or treasures, everything can be replicated within the Virtual Illusion Realm.
In genuine ranking duels, those with higher rankings would inevitably face multiple challenges. Given that the difference in strength among participants is not significant, such duels and fierce battles often result in severe injuries and fatigue, offering opportunists a chance to take advantage.
However, with the Virtual Illusion Realm, after each round of decisive battles, participants could immediately return to their peak state for the next round.
This not only ensured fairness in challenges but also protected all geniuses.
"Virtual Illusion Realm, open."
The Taiyang Palace Master raised his hand, and suddenly, as if an invisible barrier surged up around them, like a ripple enveloping everyone.
The surrounding scenery remained utterly unchanged, everything was just as it was before.
"Four lead contenders, come to me."
The Taiyang Palace Master directed, and Wang Xu, along with the other three peak geniuses, approached his side.
"Celestial Gods of the same realm can choose to challenge a lead contender. Upon success, the rankings will be immediately modified."
The Taiyang Palace Master scanned everyone, "Now, let the challenges begin."
No sooner had those words been uttered than in each of the four realms, peak geniuses, unsatisfied with their standing, seized the chance to vie for the lead position.
"Brother Wang, I’m very curious about what makes you stronger than me."
The challenger facing Wang Xu was, of course, none other than the "former first" Dong Qiuxu.
"Let’s begin."
Wang Xu had no wish for lengthy chatter.
Without delay, Dong Qiuxu’s eyes transformed, brimming with a formidable fighting spirit as he extended his hand, pointing towards the sky. In an instant, the world changed colors, dimming the light before slowly giving rise to a blood-red hue.
"Let’s watch their battle first,"
The challengers in the other three realms, seeing the fight already unfolding with Wang Xu, chose to halt and turned their attention to watch.
This naturally directed a multitude of gazes upon Wang Xu.
"This is my strongest technique; let’s determine the victory in one strike."
Dong Qiuxu declared.
"Very well." Wang Xu replied succinctly.
The atmosphere was suffused with a crimson hue, a faint scent of blood lingering in the air. Those who knew of the Upper Blood Divine Palace were visibly alarmed, recognizing the technique Dong Qiuxu was casting as a fearsome method from the Upper Blood Divine Palace’s Chaos Secret Scripture — "Cyan Heaven Blood-Stained Finger."
At that moment, Wang Xu’s palm began to emanate a golden light.
Seal.
What Wang Xu employed was not the strongest technique, but it was more than enough to handle Dong Qiuxu.
"Perish!"
With a point of his finger, Dong Qiuxu’s eyes surged with murderous intent.
The "Cyan Heaven Blood-Stained Finger," with boundless killing intent and limitless destructive intent, once unleashed, even the heavens would be stained with blood.
All the blood energy between heaven and earth concentrated into this one finger, seeking to erase Wang Xu from existence.
However...
Boom!
Puff!
Amidst the desolate aura, as if an ancient golden light had descended, the vast hand obliterated all blood energy and, along with it, utterly destroyed Dong Qiuxu’s body.
The battle was decided in an instant.
"Hiss—"
Many Celestial Gods witnessed this scene with shocked expressions.
"I lost."
Dong Qiuxu’s figure reappeared, with awe in his eyes.
The recent strike, he could clearly feel its terrifying power. Under such an attack, he had no power to resist whatsoever.
"Dong Qiuxu’s challenge has failed, other challengers may continue."
The expression of the Taoyang Palace Master slightly changed, glancing at Wang Xu with a strange light in his eyes.
However, no one dared to step forward to challenge Wang Xu.
Even the strongest Dong Qiuxu wasn’t a match for Wang Xu in a single move. Challenging him would be nothing but self-humiliation.
Thus, several individuals from the other three realms took turns challenging, except Wang Xu, who sat alone cross-legged.
When the challenges finally ended, with no more fluctuations in the rankings.
Dong!
Suddenly, a great sound like the striking of a Copper Bell echoed between heaven and earth.
Wang Xu followed the sound and found that the source of the sound was from that dazzling, golden Celestial God List.
"Fengye Chaos Cosmos, Billion Era Celestial God, Zhu Qinghou."
"Eternal Generations Celestial God, Flying Flute Spirit."
"Hundred Generations Celestial God, Wang Xu."
"Initial Celestial God, Dong Cheng."
The Chaotic Announcement of the Celestial God List!
...
Meanwhile, in the distant Red Sun Divine Continent, within the Imperial Extreme Divine Sect, the Chaotic Announcement from the Celestial God List spread through.
As the sound of the Copper Bell rang out, everyone paused what they were doing and quietly listened to the Chaotic Announcement.
"...Eternal Generations Celestial God, Flying Flute Spirit."
"Hundred Generations Celestial God, Wang Xu..."
Bang!!
As soon as the words "Wang Xu" were spoke, the entire Imperial Extreme Divine Sect erupted!
"Wang Xu? Did I hear that right? Isn’t the second direct disciple of the Imperial Extreme Divine Master named Wang Xu? Could they be the same person?"
"Oh my, it’s Brother Wang Xu! The peerless genius who defeated Brother Li Dongbai and ascended to the number one position on the first step, the rumors were true! He went to participate in the Celestial God List and actually claimed the first place on the Hundred Generations Celestial God List!"
"Wang Xu... Wang Xu... No way... there aren’t that many coincidences in the world!"
In an instant, all the disciples widened their eyes, gasped in disbelief, but then quickly reacted, their faces breaking into expressions of ecstasy.
"Wang Xu! It must be him, there’s no mistaking it. Our Imperial Extreme Divine Sect has another person on the Celestial God List, and he’s the first of the Hundred Generations Celestial God. Brother Wang Xu is incredible!"
"The first of the Hundred Generations Celestial God, such an honor, even the disciples of the divine sects in neighboring Divine Continents can’t achieve that. The glorious moment of our Imperial Extreme Divine Sect is coming, ha ha..."
"After Brother Teng He, our Imperial Extreme Divine Sect has another peerless genius, and he’s at the top. His future will inevitably surpass Brother Teng He!"
The entire Imperial Extreme Divine Sect was filled with joy and excitement.
At this time, within the Saint Emperor’s Floating Palace.
"Congratulations, Divine Master!"
The three Divine Gate Elders, along with a group of major figures of the Eternal Generations Celestial Gods, knelt on one knee to congratulate the Divine Master in green seated above.
"Ha ha ha..."
Qing Sibai laughed heartily, the laughter echoing through the Saint Emperor’s Floating Palace and spreading across the Imperial Extreme Divine Sect, "Wang Xu has given me such a great surprise. I never anticipated he could achieve such accomplishments!"
Qing Sibai was sincerely thrilled and delighted.
How many years had it been?
Since losing Teng He, Qing Sibai had never laughed so freely. To him, Teng He was a humiliation etched in his bones, making it difficult to open his heart.
Yet Wang Xu’s emergence shed a sliver of light, and at this moment, left no shadow in his heart, only the excitement to laugh out loud.
"Proclaim, for the next hundred years within the Imperial Extreme Divine Sect, offerings will be doubled, penalties halved!"
The Divine Master in green waved his hand, and the people below all showed pleased expressions.
"Qing Bai."
The long-silent Divine Master Jiuyun spoke up.
Unlike the joyful expressions of others, his face was serious, his brow tightly furrowed.
"Jiuyun, today is the greatest day since the founding of our Imperial Extreme Divine Sect. We two brothers should celebrate greatly,"
The Divine Master in green chuckled.
Divine Master Jiuyun shook his head and said solemnly, "Qing Bai, aren’t you worried?"
Divine Master Jiuyun did not explicitly state it, but the green-robed Divine Master already knew what he was referring to.
The green-robed Divine Master’s smile faded slightly, remembering the past, he silently sighed and allowed a faint smile to appear.
"Worrying serves no purpose, all the choices are his own. The matter of Teng He was precisely because I clung too stubbornly and was unwilling to let go, which is why I ended up disgraced. This time, I will face it calmly, whatever Wang Xu decides, I will respect him."
The words of the green-robed Divine Master were not heavy, yet they were filled with firmness and confidence.
Divine Master Jiuyun broke into a smile.
"Today is a great day; it deserves a grand celebration!"
...
"...Hundred Generations Celestial God, Wang Xu..."
Great Dragon Dynasty, Kunlong Martial Sect.
In the Elder Council meeting, upon hearing the words "Wang Xu," everyone’s bodies stiffened, their eyes nearly popping out.
"It’s Wang Xu... it is saying Wang Xu, did I hear that right?"
The Grand Elder Zhang Lin of the Elder Council, his old face full of wrinkles, gradually revealed a look of ecstatic joy.
"It’s Brother Wang... it’s him, it must be him!"
Below, Ya Sang, sitting in the seat of the elders, was blurred with tears in his eyes.
All the elders were practically cheering aloud with joy.
They didn’t know what the "Hundred Generations Celestial God" meant, but they understood that any name capable of being sung like this was that of a great figure standing at the pinnacle of Chaos!
Meanwhile, those who once had conflicts with Wang Xu nearly dropped their teacups, shivering all over, their eyes filled with disbelief. (To be continued.
