In the face of Di Yin's provocation, Su Zimo merely scoffed coldly.
There was no longer any room for negotiation between the two of them and they were bound to fight to the death later on – there was no point in saying anything else!
Unlike at the bottom of the mountain, the moment Su Zimo ascended to the peak, he could no longer feel any pressure from the Myriad Phenomenon Peak.
It was as though he had already obtained the recognition of the ancient mountain.
Su Zimo turned around and surveyed his surroundings.
The peak of the mountain was quite spacious, and there was nothing to see. There was only a tall stone tablet standing in the middle. There were hundreds of names written on it.
Standing before the stone stele, Su Zimo remained silent with mixed emotions.
There was joy, pride and a hint of disappointment …
Countless years had passed since the ancient era and the Phenomenon Ranking had never stopped. It was updated once every hundred years. However, there were only a few hundred cultivators who managed to ascend to the peak!
From this day forth, his name would be engraved on the stone stele as well. No matter how much time passed, it would remain eternal!
He should be proud and happy.
The only disappointment was that he could not share this joy with someone else.
Without that person, he would not even have the chance to cultivate, let alone leave his name on the Ancient Phenomenon Stele!
"It seems like I'm closer to you now,"
Standing before the stone stele, Su Zimo lowered his head and murmured to himself with a faint smile.
Although he was still very far away from that illusory world, he firmly believed that he would be able to reach there one day and catch up to that person!
"Both of you, gather your spirit energy and leave your names on the Ancient Phenomenon Stele,"
Perfected Lord Yu Jun's voice sounded.
Su Zimo and Di Yin did as they were told and wrote their names on the stone stele.
The styles of the words on the stone stele were different.
Some were sharp, some were reserved, some were powerful, some were graceful, some were simple and dignified while some were wild.
Through those words, it was as though one could see the splendor of many predecessors!
The cultivators standing at the foot of the mountain revealed looks of envy.
The Jin Dan Phenomenon Ranking would change once every hundred years.
However, the Ancient Phenomenon Stele remained here for all eternity!
"Cultivators who can enter Myriad Phenomenon City are all worthy of being called paragons!"
Suddenly, Perfected Lord Yu Jun said slowly, "Today's achievements do not necessarily represent the future. Everyone, you should work hard and not slack off."
Leaving one's name on the Ancient Phenomenon Stele might not necessarily prove how far one could go in the future.
Among these hundreds of cultivators, there were many who died prematurely.
All geniuses would be envied by the heavens!
He would definitely experience unimaginable hardships and dangers!
As for the cultivators who did not leave their names on the Ancient Phenomenon Stele, there were also people who became emperors in the future.
Nothing is absolute.
Perfected Lord Yu Jun continued, "The elimination battle is over and the new Phenomenon Ranking is out. After the cultivators on it take a break, the final ranking battle will begin!"
The Ranking Battle was held on a stone platform at the foot of the mountain.
The stone platform was ten feet tall and extremely spacious, enough for tens of thousands of people to stand on at the same time.
There were a total of 18 matches in the ranking battles this time!
Of course, the most eye-catching one was the fight for the top ten of the Phenomenon Ranking.
The final battle was between Su Zimo and Di Yin for the top spot!
After the elimination battle, the cultivators on the Phenomenon Ranking needed to rest and recover their strength.
Apart from Ji Chengtian, in Su Zimo's group, Little Fatty, Demoness Ji and Ming Zhen were all fighting against another paragon for the final ranking battle!
Little Fatty was up against Qin Li of Illusion Fiend Cult of the fiend sects.
Demoness Ji was up against Duan Qingping of Clear Wind Temple of the immortal sects.
Ming Zhen was up against Monk Jian Kong of Hollow Monastery of the Buddhist monasteries!
The fact that they were on the same stone step meant that their phenomenons were similar. However, strength was not the only thing that mattered in a fight between cultivators.
There were also many techniques, spirit arts, secret skills and even experience!
"Little monk, have this elixir."
Xiaoning arrived beside Ming Zhen and handed him an elixir.
Previously, Ming Zhen was injured by Monk Yuan Kong and climbed the Myriad Phenomenon Peak with injuries. Now that his injuries worsened, Xiaoning made such a move because she could tell of his condition.
"Take it and heal up as soon as possible so that you can fight with all your might."
Su Zimo nodded.
Although he had many elixirs in his storage bag, Elixir Yang Sect's elixirs were still the best in terms of quality and effects!
Ming Zhen cultivated a cultivation technique of the Buddhist monasteries.
His regeneration speed was shocking.
After consuming the elixir and adjusting his breathing, his injuries would be mostly healed before the battle.
"Thank you, patron,"
Ming Zhen received the elixir and swallowed it.
The ranking battle had begun just after noon!
In order to prevent paragons from dying in the ranking battle, as long as a cultivator was defeated and left the vicinity of the stone platform in time, it would be considered as admitting defeat.
The battle would end immediately!
The first battle was for the 98th rank of the Phenomenon Ranking.
The two paragons fighting were from the upper sects.
Although they were towards the bottom of the Phenomenon Ranking, the battle was unusually intense as well. Many spirit arts and secret skills were released by the two paragons one after another.
Melee combat and ranged attacks were endless.
Eventually, both paragons released Jin Dan phenomenons and fought to the point of exhaustion before one of them won the battle with a slight advantage.
The cultivators below felt that their horizons were broadened.
Through the fights between the paragons, they were able to gain a lot as well.
As time passed by, 12 battles were over as evening approached.
The next battle was for the 20th rank of the Phenomenon Ranking.
The two paragons were Demoness Ji and Duan Qingping!
On the stone platform, Demoness Ji bowed and smiled gently at Duan Qingping. Her eyes rippled as she said gently, "Brother Duan, please."
"Hmm?"
Duan Qingping froze for a moment with a hint of confusion in his eyes.
Immediately after, he frowned with a conflicted expression and began to tremble uncontrollably!
"What's wrong with Duan Qingping?"
"I didn't see Demoness Ji attack?"
A series of exclamations sounded from the crowd.
Su Zimo nodded to himself.
Demoness Ji's bewitchment technique was getting more and more proficient and terrifying!
Apart from the paragons of the Buddhist monasteries who had no worldly desires, any other cultivator would be bewitched if they were careless against Demoness Ji!
"Ah! Ah! Ah! "
Duan Qingping's eyes widened as he looked around and hollered.
"Black Wind Calamity!"
A series of hurricanes circled around Duan Qingping's body. They were pitch-black and howled in a shuddering manner!
If the hurricanes were to hit a cultivator, their flesh would be blown off instantly – it was extremely powerful!
Realizing that something was amiss, Duan Qingping released his Jin Dan phenomenon right away.
Unfortunately, he had already lost the initiative and his mind was bewitched.
Even if he released his Jin Dan phenomenon, it would be difficult for his mind to break free and regain clarity.
Demoness Ji stood at the side and watched coldly without attacking at all.
Duan Qingping was like a headless fly as he howled on the stone platform like a lunatic. It was as though he could not see Demoness Ji and had completely lost his mind!
"Humph!"
When he saw that, the Perfected Lord of Clear Wind Temple had a terrible expression.
Given the current situation, there was no longer a need for Demoness Ji to attack. Before long, Duan Qingping would be exhausted and die from exhaustion!
The outcome was clear.
There was no bloodshed!
Demoness Ji did not even release her Jin Dan phenomenon!
