CHAPTER 50:Tenth! The World Of Gods And Demons!

The ranking of the All Heavens and Myriad Realms Ranking had finally reached the top ten!

At this moment, hundreds of millions of beings across countless worlds held their breaths, staring at the ancient golden list that towered above the void like an eternal monument.

Among the top-tier worlds of the All Heavens and Ten Thousand Realms, some had become legends of talent and martial might, like the world of falling snow.

In that snow-bound realm, there once lived a peerless swordsman named Li Taibai. He entered the Vajra realm at sixteen, reached Zhixuan at nineteen, and ascended to the Celestial Phenomenon realm by twenty-four. Then, with a single sword sealed in its sheath, he stood before the Heavenly Gate, preventing the descent of celestial beings into the mortal realm.

At that time, the entire martial world was obsessed with Li Taibai. When he crossed the Guangling River, even the Eight Hundred Dragons bowed in reverence and churned the river in his honor.

Yet, at the height of his power—

In order to preserve the rising flame of youth, he willingly allowed his junior, Wang Zhixian, to shatter his divine sword, burn the wooden bull and horse, and inherit the mantle of the world's number one.

He once said, "The world belongs to the young. Rivers and Lakes are meant for fresh blood."

From then on, Wang Zhixian established himself in Martial God City along the East Sea, and though he surpassed all others, he humbly named himself the world's second, a tribute that remained unchanged.

Li Taibai's journey took a darker turn after mistakenly killing his beloved Fengdu Lupao. His cultivation base shattered, and he spent twenty years imprisoned in Beiliang Palace to atone for his sins.

When the sixty-year cycle turned, and he stepped beyond his gates once again, he called from Daxueping: "Sword, come!"

That day, he returned to the Earthly Celestial Realm, destroyed 2,600 armored warriors with a single stroke, and broke through to the Deva Realm in one breath.

He was once again greeted as the Sword God.

Before his passing, he borrowed a sword across ten thousand miles, offering it to a new kendo prodigy—the Peach Blossom Sword God—helping him step into Earthly Celestial, ensuring the torch was passed with brilliance.

Li Taibai said "go" and vanished like a breeze, as he had lived—free and unbound.

Then there was the little Wudang Taoist.

Unregistered by the heavens, he wandered to Jiangnan.

A shy, soft-spoken youth, cheeks easily flushed, riding a green ox backward—this was the Wudang disciple.

Upon stepping into Earthly Celestial, he severed the Nine Lotuses of Fortune from Longhu Mountain with a single strike and forced Yuan Tingshan into retreat.

Though mocked as cowardly by Xu Bugui, he found the courage to face the woman in red he loved before leaving the Rivers and Lakes behind.

That day, the Heavenly Gate opened wide, and she ascended in red robes.

He sat in Wudang's main hall, legs folded in lotus posture, finally at peace.

And the Immortal realm trembled: "With the Peach Blossom Sword God here, would Immortals still dare descend into the mortal realm?"

Thus rose the new Sword God—Peach Blossom.

And there was Wu Su in white robes, playing the fish-dragon drum; Xu Rentu who destroyed six nations and buried millions in seventy cities; Sword Six-Thousand-Li, the lone master of endless miles; and Cao Guanzi, the Confucian warrior who crushed seven battlefields.

Xuanyuan Shaodong, trapped within a mountain for a single woman's sake.

Zhang Shoufu, who paved the road for the poor of the world.

Wen Busheng, who relinquished beauty and dreams, broke sword and limb, to carve his name into the Rivers and Lakes.

So many others—their brilliance within the world of snow shook the heavens themselves.

Each world had its own style, its own might.

And now, the top ten of the All Heavens and Myriad Realms Ranking had arrived!

The anticipation of countless civilizations erupted like fire!

They didn't wait long.

The golden list surged with primordial chaos.

[The Rankings of the Heavens and Worlds are being released!]

[A total of 100 worlds are ranked! Names are not listed in order!]

[Announcing the tenth strongest world in the Heavens and Worlds—The World of Gods and Demons!!]

The voice rumbled across dimensions.

And with it, images of the grand and terrifying World of Gods and Demons began to appear!

"The World of Gods and Demons? Finally, we're on the list!"

The violet-scaled, smug-faced Zijin Ruffian Dragon trembled with glee.

"Haha! What about those people who said we wouldn't make the list? Come out and eat your words!"

"We're in the top ten!"

Countless viewers across the heavens were stunned.

Zijin Ruffian Dragon had long been one of the most controversial figures in the Zhutian comment zone. He constantly bragged about how strong his world was, claiming to have battled Heavenly Dao itself.

So rampant was his chatter that many had dubbed him "Stinky Mouth Dragon."

Most assumed he was just spouting nonsense. After all, true powerhouses rarely wasted time chatting online.

Yet here it was—the World of Gods and Demons, home of the Zijin Ruffian, in the top ten!

Uproar echoed across every realm.

And among those who were the most bitter?

Frieza—and the Big Black Dog.

"Top 10?!! How can this purple-skinned lizard dragon be in the top 10?!" Frieza's face turned blue and white with rage.

The Dragon Ball World hadn't even made the top 20—how could the world of this loudmouth dragon rank so high?

"I want to see what's so special about this so-called 'World of Gods and Demons!'" Frieza roared.

Far away, within the world of Shrouding the Heavens:

"Hmph! Finally, this stinking dragon's world is up," barked the Big Black Dog.

He huffed indignantly, tail swishing.

"I'll tear his dragon tendon out myself if I get the chance!"

In the Universe World, where ancient tech meets divine cultivation:

"Oh? So the stinky dragon's world is in the top ten?" Xuan Ba's eyes gleamed as a grin curled across his face.

He remembered being mocked in the comment area by this very dragon after claiming the Universe World was the crown jewel of the heavens.

"This is my chance to fight back! You dared insult our Emperor Refinement? Let's see what your world really has!"

As all of creation looked on, the eyes of every great world turned toward the glowing golden list.

And finally—the curtain on the World of Gods and Demons began to rise.
