Chapter 139: The Number One in the Heavenly Rankings
Wanxiang City is situated near the core of the ancient battlefield, and it is a necessary passage to reach the central area. As a result, the city is bustling with unprecedented activity. Unlike other chaotic cities, Wanxiang City has its own set of rules. This is mainly because the city is controlled by a super sect, not by any dynasty.
One day, Xiao Tian and his group arrived outside Wanxiang City. Even from mid-air, they couldn't see the end of the city. The towering city walls were like ancient mountains, reaching into the clouds and extending endlessly in both directions. Compared to other cities in the ancient battlefield, the difference was like that between small hills and massive mountain ranges.
Su Kui retracted his gaze and said, "Brother Xiao Tian, flying is prohibited above this city. We should enter through the main gate."
"Alright," Xiao Tian nodded.
"Brother Xiao Tian, the first thing you need to do here is get a Nirvana Seal," Su Kui explained. "The Nirvana Seal is the ticket to participate in the Hundred Dynasties Battle. Generally, any expert at the Two Yuan Nirvana Stage can qualify for one."
As he spoke, Su Kui extended his hand, and a tower-shaped rune appeared in a flash of light. "However, my Nirvana Seal is just the lowest level, the Human Grade. With Brother Xiao's strength, you should be able to obtain the Heavenly Grade."
"How do you get a Nirvana Seal?" Lin Dong asked.
"There is a Nirvana Monument in Wanxiang City. Anyone qualified to be on the Nirvana Rankings can undergo a test, and their rank will appear on the monument. The monument will automatically assign a grade," Su Kui explained. "It is said that the Nirvana Monument is a Heaven-level spiritual treasure!"
Soon, they entered the city and navigated through its maze-like streets, eventually arriving at the city center. There, they saw a massive square with a giant golden monument at its center. The monument emanated golden light, making it the most prominent feature of the area.
Currently, many people were gathered around the Nirvana Monument, hoping to obtain their Nirvana Seal. Xiao Tian sensed that everyone in the crowd was at the Nirvana Stage. It made sense, as only powerful individuals could reach this core area of the ancient battlefield.
"It's Sha Xing Xiao Tian!" someone shouted, and the crowd's attention instantly focused on Xiao Tian. Seeing Xiao Tian heading towards the Nirvana Monument, those who had intended to test themselves moved aside, allowing him and his group to go first.
Su Rou chuckled, "Brother Xiao Tian, you're so impressive!"
Xiao Tian shrugged helplessly. He hadn't expected to become someone that everyone feared. But it was better to be feared than bullied.
"Let's go forward," Xiao Tian said to his group. Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, they approached the monument. Su Kui was the first to test himself. As a Three Yuan Nirvana Stage expert, he entered the Earth Grade, but his rank wasn't high.
Next, Mo Tie and the others tested themselves. They were at the Two Yuan Nirvana Stage, so they ranked in the Human Grade, but their ranks were higher. Mo Ling and Man Shan, having just broken through to the Two Yuan Nirvana Stage, ranked lower.
When Lin Dong extended his hand, the Nirvana Monument emitted a golden light that quickly climbed up his arm. In an instant, the light surpassed the Human Grade and shot into the Earth Grade, stopping at the second position.
"Did I see that right? Earth Grade second?"
"Lin Dong? This guy's name is Lin Dong!"
The crowd was stunned. To them, Lin Dong was an unknown newcomer, yet he had achieved a rank that many from the super dynasties couldn't reach. The top four in the Earth Grade were typically prominent figures from super dynasties, known for their power and influence. Yet Lin Dong had effortlessly surpassed three of them.
All eyes then turned to Xiao Tian. If Lin Dong, who accompanied him, could rank second in the Earth Grade, what about Xiao Tian?
Feeling the crowd's anticipation, Xiao Tian stepped forward and placed his hand on the monument. He felt a unique power from the monument trying to scan his body. However, the stone talisman, the Devouring Ancestral Symbol, and the Heaven and Earth Ancient Array in his body released a force that dispersed the scanning power.
As the scanning power dissipated, an incredibly bright golden light erupted from Xiao Tian's palm, shooting into the sky. In the shocked gazes of the crowd, the light quickly surpassed the Human Grade and the Earth Grade, directly entering the Heavenly Grade. Even within the Heavenly Grade, it continued to rise rapidly.
Finally, when the light stopped, all the names in the Heavenly Grade ranking dropped by one position.
"What?"
"No way, Heavenly Grade first?"
"Is this guy really that powerful?"
The crowd was in shock. They had thought Lin Dong was impressive, but Xiao Tian had taken the top spot in the Heavenly Grade. Those in the Heavenly Grade were typically leaders in super dynasties, strong enough to challenge the Nirvana Golden Rankings. Yet now, they were all surpassed by Xiao Tian.
Witnessing this historical moment, the crowd couldn't help but discuss excitedly. Though they were elite among their respective dynasties, most of them would eventually become ordinary compared to the countless geniuses from thousands of dynasties. Only a few would truly lead and stand out.
