Chapter 1566

Just like that, Hu Pingcheng's ranking skyrocketed.

In the outside world, there were many cultivators who were witnessing this. Seeing the ranking rise like a rocket, they were also excited.

In the minor world, Lu Ming stood dumbly at the back, too busy to treat his wounds. He was the only witness to Zi Chen's team's meteoric rise in points.

His Adam's apple wriggled with difficulty, only to discover that his throat was extremely dry. He'd been stunned so many times by Zi Chen's team's fighting style that he was almost petrified.

Utter defeat.

The five of them had faced off against a pack of beasts, and the beasts had been routed. This was … unbelievable.

But seeing it with his own eyes, Lu Ming had no choice but to believe it.

The battle ended not long after.

Zi Chen's team had expended a great deal of energy and suffered some injuries during the battle, but those injuries were completely negligible compared to their battle record.

Looking at the sea of corpses and the points floating in the air, Lu Ming felt as if he'd been petrified. Every expression on his face was incomparably stiff.

In the outside world, the cultivators of Shuntian Prefecture who'd raised their heads stared dumbly, as if they'd been petrified as well.

Their gazes were all focused on the rankings. Furthermore, they were all focused on the first place.

Hu Ping City was ranked first with 683,210 points.

After the slaughter, Hu Pingcheng's ranking had shot up from eighty-eighth to first place.

Although Destiny City and Shuntian's numbers were still rising, and it was only a matter of time before they surpassed Hu Pingcheng's, it seemed that Hu Pingcheng was still in first place for now.

The entire city fell into a deathly stillness.

Their wish had been not to fall too far in the rankings.

They'd been satisfied at sixty-fourth, even if it meant dropping one place.

They'd gone crazy at fiftieth, thinking that everything in the world had become beautiful.

When they saw the number stop at the number one position, they were all speechless. That was because this number was something that they had never even thought about.

However, before they could take first place and bask in its glory, Hu Pingcheng's ranking changed again. This time, it dropped from first place to thirtieth.

"What's going on? Why did it drop so much all of a sudden?"

Everyone stared at the rankings in the sky, puzzled.

When they looked at the screen again, Zi Chen had drawn fifty thousand points and walked toward Lu Ming, his voice echoing throughout the city. "We agreed on a fifty-fifty split. Here are fifty thousand points for you."

Fifty thousand points.

Even with Lu Ming's strength at peak sixth level, he was still shocked by the number.

He wasn't the only one; everyone in Luguang, too, couldn't help but gasp when they heard the number.

After all, Lu Guangcheng and the other four only had slightly more than ten thousand points in total. They were ranked ninety-third, but Zi Chen had given them fifty thousand points in one go. How could they not be shocked?

In the small world, Lu Ming, who was shocked, quickly waved his hand and said, "No, no, I can't take this."

Zi Chen said, "We agreed to split it fifty-fifty, but we did put in a lot of effort, so we got more than ten thousand points more than you. These points aren't much."

Even at this point, Lu Ming still shook his head, resolutely refusing to take it.

Zi Chen said in a deep voice, "Take it. If I'm not wrong, you should have something else on you. Take it out quickly."

Lu Ming was stunned when he heard that. Looking at Zi Chen's determined eyes, he didn't argue anymore and took the fifty thousand points. Then, Lu Guangcheng's ranking jumped to forty-third.

"Indeed, Zi Chen is our Luguang City's lucky star." Seeing that the City Lord of Luguang's ranking had jumped, a hint of joy appeared in his eyes.

At the very least, they didn't have to worry about the city's ranking falling.

After taking the points, Lu Guangcheng took out a glowing jade pendant.

Lu Ming handed the jade pendant to Zi Chen. After releasing his spiritual senses, Zi Chen saw a route map in the jade pendant. The destination of the route map was just ahead.

Zi Chen took the jade pendant and walked forward.

After walking for about five hundred meters, his figure disappeared.

Man Shi and the others stayed in place and waited. However, after a full fifteen minutes, Zi Chen still didn't appear. Their expressions changed immediately.

They were about to rush forward when a powerful aura suddenly surged in front of them.

The powerful aura rushed out from a broken restriction and surged in all directions.

Everything was destroyed where the energy passed.

At the same time, along with the appearance of the energy, there was an angry roar and a battered figure.

"Bang."

The battered figure fell to the ground, creating a deep pit.

It was Zi Chen. However, as soon as he stood up, his expression changed and he coughed up a large mouthful of blood.

The blood was golden, but there were specks of black light in it.

Everyone's expression changed when they saw this.

Man Shi and the others went up to support Zi Chen and looked forward.

They saw an exotic beast appear in front of them. It was as big as a small mountain.

Judging from the aura around it, it had surpassed the sixth level and was very far from the seventh level.

"It really is the seventh level." Seeing this, Lu Ming sucked in a breath of cold air.

Behind the mountain-like figure was a huge lake. There was no liquid in the lake, only many crystal fragments that emitted colorful light.

These fragments were naturally power fragments.

However, they were the most power fragments that Zi Chen and the others had ever seen.

Many, there were really too many.

There were so many that when all the cultivators in Shuntian Prefecture saw the power fragments in such a huge lake, they couldn't help but cry out in surprise.

Even Mo Ling, who had been very calm all this time, was moved.

"Good heavens." Lu Ming swallowed his saliva and was shocked.

Looking at Zi Chen and the others, they were relatively calm and even had serious expressions. Although there were many power fragments here, the premise was whether they could kill this big guy completely.

Among the people present, only Zi Chen could sense that there was something unusual about the huge lake in front of them.

Not only did they have power fragments, but they also contained two extremely powerful forces.

One was the power of thunder that Zi Chen had sensed earlier. In this place, the power of thunder was even purer and purer, even purer than the power of the fragments.

As for the other force, its quality was not inferior to the lightning energy at all. It could even be said that the two forces were restraining each other and fighting against each other.

It was a foreign force, and among the humans here, only Zi Chen could sense it.

Zi Chen did not understand why these two forces were fighting against each other, and he could not figure it out.

At this moment, he threw away all the distracting thoughts in his mind because there would be a fierce battle, a truly fierce battle.

Lu Ming could also see the seriousness of the situation. Logically speaking, a place like this should not be attacked by two forces.

However, at this point, it was too late to look for other forces.

He could only call out the four people who were still healing. When the four of them appeared and saw the battle in front of them, they naturally sucked in a breath of cold air.

They coveted the power fragments, but this big guy was obviously more difficult to deal with.

When the battle began, Zi Chen was still the first to launch an attack.

However, this time, his extreme speed was suppressed, and Zi Chen, who had just charged forward, was hit and sent flying.

Man Shi shouted and activated the Mountain Spirit Tyrant Body, charging toward the seventh-level mutated beast.

Wu Xie followed closely behind, followed by the others...

A fierce battle broke out.

...

...

In the deepest part of this small world, there was a mysterious space. This space was like a void, and there was nothing around it.

However, if one had extraordinary divine abilities, they would be able to see that in the void, there were many densely packed thin lines. These thin lines were a type of restriction power, and could be said to be the restriction law.

These restriction powers turned this place into a huge net, denser than a fisherman's net, completely enveloping this place.

At the center of this restriction, there were two balls of light.

In one of the balls of light stood a tall man. To be precise, he was only a humanoid creature, because there were three pairs of wings on his back, making a total of six wings.

His body was glowing, releasing the light of a foreign race's power. If Zi Chen were here, he would definitely be able to tell that this was the foreign race's power that he had sensed clashing with the power of lightning.

At this moment, this humanoid creature was staring at the ball of light in front of him. If looks could kill, then the existence in the ball of light would have died many years ago.

In the ball of light, there was a strange looking little beast lying on its stomach.

This little beast was less than a meter long, but it had a majestic dragon head. Its qilin figure was a little like the Longhu Sovereign, but it looked even more majestic. Moreover, the light emitted from its body was silver, and that was the pure light of lightning.

The majestic little beast with long dragon whiskers was lying there motionless, and it looked a little dispirited.

On the opposite side, the humanoid creature looked at the majestic little beast and said coldly, "Your power is almost gone. Let's see how long you can last."

The majestic little beast opened its eyes, glanced at the humanoid creature, and closed its eyes once again.

"You didn't expect it, did you? Now that things have come to this, I'm the one who has persevered. Seeing a lightning sacred beast like you about to die can be considered a great blessing in life."

The majestic little beast ignored the humanoid creature, and the latter muttered to himself. Ever since he had been trapped by the lightning sacred beast, he had often muttered to himself, but he wasn't as excited as he was now.

"Your power has spread out to prevent me from recovering, but what can you do? You're heavily injured, and your power is no match for me. Now that your power is gradually dissipating, my power will become even stronger. Even if I can recover a bit of my power, you'll still die without a doubt. If I'm in a good mood at that time, I might not kill you, but take you as my mount. Using a sacred beast as a mount wouldn't be a disgrace."

"Our power has been clashing in many places. Although we're evenly matched now, I believe that it won't be long before your power is exhausted."

The humanoid creature seemed very proud, because he had been waiting for this day for a long time.

However, he also felt a little resentful. If that fellow had a little more guts, he wouldn't have to suffer, and would have subdued the lightning sacred beast long ago.

Just as his proud laughter resounded in this spacious area, his laughter suddenly came to an abrupt stop. His excited expression froze, and his complexion greatly changed. "My power, why is there a bit of my power missing?"

The lightning sacred beast suddenly opened its eyes, and light flickered in its eyes.
