Chapter 331: Imperial Realm 45th Place

Chapter 331: Imperial Realm 45th Place

"Come, come, come!"

"I would like to see just what kind of Prodigy the 32nd place on the imperial ranking is!"

Qin Xuan simultaneously activated the Phoenix Nirvana Tribulation and the Exquisite Heart-Burning Art.

He even reversed his meridians.

He brought out all his trump cards directly; every move was a killing blow.

With his left hand, he held the ancient prison-suppressing tower, and with his right, he gripped the heavenly desolation halberd.

First, he used the two imperial artifacts to smash his opponent repeatedly, then immediately unleashed punches, one after another, filled with Primordial Dragon-Elephant Power.

He gave the Spirit Emperor absolutely no time to react.

It was a continuous, frenzied bombardment.

It took a full three breaths of time before he could barely manage to kill the Spirit Emperor.

As one Prodigy after another from the imperial ranking appeared, Qin Xuan consistently unleashed his Peak combat power.

The time consumed, however, kept increasing one after another.

Three breaths, four breaths, five breaths... forty-nine breaths.

In front of Qin Xuan, more and more Peak Imperial Realm experts were being blasted to death.

There were so many that, logically speaking, there shouldn't be such a multitude of Imperial Realm Prodigies appearing before the Spirit Emperor, who was ranked 32nd on the imperial ranking!

"Whoosh"—

Fifty breaths arrived, and Qin Xuan, pushing his body that was on the verge of collapse, finally blasted the current Peak Imperial Realm expert to death with one punch.

"This won't do. If this continues, the next one will be the one to wipe me out."

Qin Xuan did not dare to hesitate at all and instructed the System, "Spend five million villain points to upgrade the Phoenix Nirvana Tribulation to Perfection!"

Previously, he had a little over one million villain points left.

He had squeezed another four million out of Dao Child Leng Shang.

At this moment, the massive sum of five million villain points could only upgrade the Phoenix Nirvana Tribulation to Perfection; it was ultimately still a bit short of the eight million points required for the Exquisite Heart-Burning Art.

As the five million villain points were deducted.

In Qin Xuan's mind, insights and realizations about Cultivation, like a murmuring clear spring, gradually flowed through his limbs and bones.

It was as if he had Cultivated the Phoenix Nirvana Tribulation for thousands upon thousands of years.

It had reached complete Perfection.

The immortal and indestructible Nirvana state could now be maintained for a full hundred breaths.

Within these hundred breaths, he would maintain the Nirvana state.

He would not fear any attacks.

It just depended on how long the enemy before him could resist his attacks.

If there was an enemy that five hundred million Primordial Dragon-Elephant Powers could not wipe out within a hundred breaths.

He wouldn't even need the opponent to strike; he would collapse first himself!

Inside the ancient prison-suppressing tower, Luo Xianxian was shocked to the point of no return.

Her gaze was dull, very much like the previous Peak King Realm Puppet, and she muttered to herself, "Most of those Peak Imperial Realm experts that Qin Xuan killed, I don't recognize."

"However, the one he killed not long ago was the leader of the imperial ranking five thousand years ago."

"That is, the number one on the imperial ranking!"

"Qin Xuan even killed the number one on the imperial ranking."

"Why do Peak Imperial Realm experts still appear even now?"

"Could it be that outside the Hongmeng Continent, there exists an even more vast world? Could it be that the world we are in is just a huge nesting doll?"

"A nesting doll within a nesting doll?"

Luo Xianxian felt that her insufficient brain had already started to crash.

She had been shocked to the point where she could not fully dedicate herself to thinking.

Leng Li, however, shook her head with a cold expression, "That is not the case. The enemies Qin Xuan is facing might not be from this generation's imperial ranking, but true Prodigies from all ages who were worthy of being branded onto the imperial ranking!"

One must know that the Prodigies on the imperial ranking undergo updates and iterations.

Generation after generation, they alternate.

Among these Prodigies of the imperial ranking from various generations, there are naturally strong and weak ones. With different eras, some Prodigies naturally cannot fight in the same realm.

But the imperial ranking is different.

Any Prodigy who enters it has an illusion branded within it.

The imperial ranking can span long ages and select the true 'Top 100 of the imperial ranking' with the highest gold content from among these Prodigies of all ages!

Perhaps, what Qin Xuan is facing now is such a situation!

"That's the fifty-sixth!"

"This is the fifty-sixth Imperial Realm expert that Qin Xuan has killed since the Cloud Emperor appeared!"

Luo Xianxian watched the surrounding light exploding, the ancient prison-suppressing tower and the heavenly desolation halberd ringing together, and Qin Xuan, whose Primordial Dragon-Elephant Power was battling in all directions; her gaze was blank.

Having blasted the Peak Imperial Realm expert before him to pieces with one punch, Qin Xuan dropped to the ground.

His state was gradually healing.

His eyes, however, were full of exhaustion.

It was an indescribable torment.

It was as if he had experienced Reincarnation, full of a sense of vicissitudes.

"I have already used eighty breaths of the Phoenix Nirvana Tribulation. If this continues, at most five more, and my body will completely collapse."

Qin Xuan felt some regret.

The further it went, the harder it was to kill these appearing imperial ranking Prodigies.

Even the Primordial Dragon-Elephant Power was difficult to use to shatter the trump cards of these Prodigies.

It required long periods of consumption.

The gap was still increasing.

If it continued like this, within five people, he would completely collapse after the Phoenix Nirvana Tribulation exceeded its limit!

"Whoosh"—

The instant Qin Xuan's injuries healed, in the distance, another Peak Imperial Realm figure appeared.

But this time, Qin Xuan did not continue to attack.

Instead, he stared dumbfounded at the white-haired, red-eyed beauty before him, and called out to Leng Li inside the small tower, "Is this your mother? Or your sister?"

The one who appeared before him was clearly from the white-haired, red-eyed Blood Asura Clan.

What she held in her hand was the treasure of the Blood Asura Clan, the asura sword.

Her appearance was 90% similar to Leng Li.

How could Qin Xuan not be moved by this?

Luo Xianxian inside the small tower looked at Leng Li beside her and said in surprise, "Your blood relative is actually ranked in the top 100 Imperial Realm Prodigies of all ages on the imperial ranking? And the ranking is very high. Could this really be your mother? It couldn't be your father, right? She is a woman."

Leng Li turned her head and glared fiercely at Luo Xianxian.

She furrowed her brows, wanting to search for memories of this Blood Asura woman who was extremely similar to her.

But she could not obtain any corresponding memories.

She shook her head vigorously to stop herself from letting her imagination run wild, and urged Qin Xuan, "This woman has nothing to do with me, just fight to your heart's content!"

"Alright!"

Qin Xuan nodded heavily.

Even if she was extremely similar to Leng Li, even if she was a blood relative.

She was still just an illusion reflected by the imperial ranking.

Even if he killed her, it wouldn't harm the real person.

He formed a fist seal and punched out; the heavens crumbled and the earth cracked, as if the sky were collapsing.

The woman who looked like Leng Li, holding the treasure of the Blood Asura Clan, the asura sword, drew her sword from its scabbard.

She slashed out with one sword strike.

The flowing light was like a startled swan.

"Whoosh"—

The sword light was brilliant. In the world, there was only this one sword gleam left, sweeping across with unparalleled dominance.

When the sword gleam receded, all five hundred million Primordial Dragon-Elephant Powers had been completely wiped out.

"What the hell is this!"

"What kind of perverted combat power is this?"

Qin Xuan went against the current, maintaining the immortal and indestructible Nirvana state, and charged fearlessly at the woman who looked like Leng Li.

The sword light and the Primordial Dragon-Elephant Power collided continuously.

Within one breath, they collided violently millions of times.

After a full fifty breaths.

The Blood Asura Clan woman slashed out with one sword; the sky cracked, stars twinkled, and a celestial river, like a galaxy pouring backward, shone in harmony with her.

It made the asura sword in her hand bloom with an extremely brilliant light.

The light passed in an instant.

When Qin Xuan regained his senses, he found that he had already been split into two halves.

Immediately after, the Blood Asura Clan woman who looked like Leng Li also disappeared.

"What does this mean?"

"The immortal and indestructible Nirvana state, was this destroyed!?"

"Wasn't it supposed to be immortal and indestructible? How could I still be in the Nirvana state, yet be dead?"

"The quality of the Phoenix Clan's treasure technique is problematic!"

Qin Xuan complained crazily in his heart.

His body, under the healing of the king ranking, gradually healed.

Leng Li and Luo Xianxian in the ancient prison-suppressing tower, as soon as the feeling of being imprisoned disappeared, appeared beside Qin Xuan.

Luo Xianxian complained angrily to Qin Xuan, "Even if she looks like Leng Li, she is not Leng Li!"

"How could you go easy on her?"

"At a time like this, the more people you kill, the more Opportunity you get."

"Besides, what appeared was just an illusion reflected by the imperial ranking. Even if you killed her, it wouldn't cause any impact on the real person, nor would it cause any harm to Leng Li."

In the gaze Leng Li directed at Qin Xuan, there was no longer indifference and coldness, but an irrepressible softness. She nodded in agreement, "Luo Xianxian is right."

Qin Xuan opened his mouth, but the words that reached his lips were swallowed back down.

He tilted his head back, then lowered it, shook his head helplessly, and sighed, "Perhaps it was my Heart Demon acting up. I just couldn't be that resolute."

"If there is a next time, I might..."

"Forget it... let's talk about it later."

Leng Li bit her naturally colored lips.

In her beautiful eyes, tenderness and affection were rippling.

Qin Xuan sighed deeply in his heart.

What could he say?

He was simply not a match for that Blood Asura Clan woman at all!

Even the immortal and indestructible Nirvana state had been slashed open.

He suspected that the celestial river reflected when the firmament was slashed open might be the true power of the Dao.

In front of such a freak who could mobilize the power of the Dao while still in the Imperial Realm.

Even he, the great villain, had no power to fight!

Moreover, he was still only in the Late Stage of the King Realm!

That was the top 100 of the imperial ranking arranged from the Imperial Realm Prodigies of all ages.

The gold content was the highest.

There was not a single drop of fake water in it.

That he could reach this step was already the limit of what he could currently achieve.

"Rumble"—

Inside the pure white space, a heaven-shaking and earth-shattering change occurred.

On the cracked firmament, there were majestic characters written in a vigorous, dragon-flying and phoenix-dancing style branded upon it:

Imperial Realm 45th!

"Hiss, hiss..."

Luo Xianxian tilted her head back, looking at the majestic golden characters, "Imperial Realm 45th, which means, Qin Xuan, you are capable of reaching the 45th place among the Imperial Realm Prodigies of all ages?"

Is it crazy?

Qin Xuan, a Late Stage King Realm expert, had broken the limits of the king ranking.

Being able to forcefully break into the imperial ranking was already monstrous and unheard of.

Now, after the evaluation of the imperial ranking.

Qin Xuan, this Late Stage King Realm expert, could actually rank 45th among the Imperial Realm Prodigies of all ages?

Then, once he achieves a Breakthrough to the Imperial Realm, what kind of ranking would that be?

"Gulp!"

Luo Xianxian swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and in the gaze she directed at Qin Xuan, both admiration and fear coexisted.

"Hum, hum, hum!"

The pure white space was trembling violently, and the mutation was still continuing.

The majestic characters branded on the firmament disappeared strangely.

They turned into a beam of golden light and shot towards Qin Xuan.

It rushed into his mind and disappeared.

Leng Li saw this and said happily, "This is the king ranking—no, this is the Opportunity of the imperial ranking starting to feed back to Qin Xuan!"
