There were only two more matches remaining in the Heavenly Fate Rankings. As long as Zhan Chen defeated Qin Wentian, the final battle would be between Chen Wang and Si Qiong.
Chen Wang didn't disappoint the crowd, he managed to reach the very end. However, his opponent wasn't Shi Potian or Emperor Azure, but the strongest dark horse, Si Qiong.
The strength of this dark horse was so terrifying that it was as though there was nothing he couldn't do. He was proficient in all sorts of ultimate arts of Grand Xia, and what he was most proficient in was soul attacks. There was no way to counter such attacks, there was no one who wouldn't fear him.
Si Qiong seemed to have no weaknesses at all.
Not only that, the spectators didn't know how magnificent the flames would be when Chen Wang and Si Qiong clashed.
Chen Wang, the most anticipated opponent; Si Qiong, the most terrifying dark horse.
In the air, Old Man Tianji stared at the remaining four contenders, his gaze lingering on each of them for a brief moment.
The fate of Grand Xia was about to change, starting from the Heavenly Fate Rankings. He had always believed that a Demonic Star would appear on the Heavenly Fate Rankings.
Shi Potian and Emperor Azure were both demonic cultivators. However, both of them had already been eliminated, failing to live up to the expectations of everyone. Only Qin Wentian had slaughtered his way up until now. If it was really him, Qin Wentian would definitely be able to influence the fate of Grand Xia in the future. Would he stop here today?
"For the next two battles, Zhan Chen versus Qin Wentian; Chen Wang versus Si Qiong." Old Man Tianji slowly spoke. His gaze landed on Zhan Chen as he asked, "Zhan Chen, are you willing to continue?"
"I need to rest for a while." Zhan Chen looked at Old Man Tianji as he slowly spoke.
Old Man Tianji nodded, as he glanced in the direction of Qin Wentian. After which, he spoke, "Since this is the case, let the battle between Chen Wang and Si Qiong begin first."
"Mhm?" The spectators were all stunned when they heard Old Man Tianji's words. The battle between Chen Wang and Si Qiong would begin first?
This battle might very well be the final battle of the Heavenly Fate Rankings. Originally, it should have been ranked last, why did it have to be started first?
In the ranking battle of the Heavenly Fate Rankings, it was usually reserved for the final battle. There were very few exceptions.
Earlier, when they saw Zhan Chen's trump card, many believed that he would be able to defeat Qin Wentian, becoming the # 3 ranker of the Heavenly Fate Rankings while Qin Wentian was ranked # 4.
In that case, Chen Wang and Si Qiong would be the final battle.
The Elder of Heavenly Secrets had actually brought forward the decisive battle.
Many people didn't understand, but since the start of time, the authority to decide the Heavenly Fate Rankings had always been in the hands of Old Man Tianji from the Venerate Heavens Sect.
The blazing rays of the sun cascaded down onto the arena platform. Chen Wang and Si Qiong walked up, basking in the sunlight as they attracted the attention of countless spectators.
Today, who would become the most dazzling figure in the Heavenly Fate Rankings?
Was it Chen Wang or Si Qiong?
"Your strength isn't bad. Although I don't have much interest in the Heavenly Fate Rankings, since I'm already standing here, the number one position naturally belongs to me." Si Qiong stared at Chen Wang as he calmly stated. It was as though the number one position was already in his bag.
"In the previous Heavenly Fate Rankings, I was ranked second. Today, the position of first shall belong to me. Even if it's you, you won't be able to block my path."
Chen Wang similarly stared at Si Qiong, exuding a domineering aura.
He was Chen Wang, he wanted the number one position in the Heavenly Fate Rankings.
He had been waiting for this day for a very long time.
"Since this is the case, let's talk with our strength." Si Qiong was extremely calm, as though nothing could cause his heart to waver.
Chen Wang's body began to combust. Under the sunlight, he was bathed in flames. His blood, bones, and his entire body transformed into a body of fire. His third Astral Soul, the strongest Astral Soul, was released. Above his head, a Great Sun Venerable appeared, fusing together with the sun, causing the terrifying temperature to engulf the entire arena platform.
It was as though anyone who dared to approach him would die, burned to death by the flames of the Great Sun Venerable.
Si Qiong similarly released his third Astral Soul. It was a terrifying evil soul that had a pair of soul-stirring eyes, capable of causing the souls of those who stared at it to waver.
"Peng!"
"Peng!"
Astral light erupted as both of them used Stellar Transposition at the first instant. In an instant, the two of them collided in the middle, so fast that the spectators couldn't even see where they had appeared from.
A terrifying palm imprint of flames blasted out, wanting to annihilate everything. The scorching heat caused the water vapor in the air to evaporate, emitting a terrifying sizzling sound.
Si Qiong's left hand stabbed out, instantly forming a shield of light. Chen Wang's flaming palm imprint slammed downwards, sinking deep into the shield, as though it had slammed into an incomparably soft mirror made of water.
This was none other than the power of Si Qiong's Mandate of Water. Other than soul attacks, he was also proficient in the Mandate of Water. Only during the final battle, when he was fighting against Chen Wang, did he finally unleash his full potential.
"Peng!"
The water shield shattered as the terrifying flames caused it to explode. The temperature of Chen Wang's palm was too terrifying, it continued blasting towards Si Qiong. However, Si Qiong had already bought enough time to counter with a finger strike.
The Soul Annihilation Finger, a single finger strike could annihilate a soul.
"Split!"
Chen Wang spat out a cold voice. In an instant, Chen Wang's body split into three. One terrifying flame god after another appeared, each of them resembling a fiery god of war that had just emerged from magma.
Such a scene caused the hearts of the spectators to tremble.
Number one, Chen Wang wanted to be number one. This was Chen Wang's true strength. He had been concealing it all this time, and only now did he unleash it all.
Si Qiong was similarly terrifying. He only unleashed his full potential during the final battle.
The three flaming bodies simultaneously rushed towards Si Qiong. The two flaming giants beside him exuded an aura so powerful that it was terrifying. They were at the pinnacle of Yuanfu, and were on the verge of breaking through to Yuanfu.
Si Qiong stared at Chen Wang's silhouette in front of him. With a wave of his hands, a water shield appeared, trapping the flaming giants within. Si Qiong's movement technique was extremely terrifying, he unceasingly moved about, blasting out beams of finger light towards Chen Wang, wanting to destroy his soul.
"Speed, Si Qiong's speed is also so fast. Speed, soul annihilation attacks, water shield defense, Si Qiong simply has no weaknesses." The spectators couldn't help but to exclaim in admiration. Even Chen Wang was being suppressed by Si Qiong's soul attacks. Finally, with a howl of rage, the two flaming bodies merged together with Chen Wang's original body. Chen Wang's body grew larger, it was as though he had truly transformed into a flaming war god, exuding an aura that transcended beyond Yuanfu.
"Indeed, Chen Wang already had the ability to break through to Heavenly Dipper. It's just that he was suppressing it, waiting for the end of the Heavenly Fate Rankings before he broke through. The current Chen Wang is already equivalent to a Heavenly Dipper Sovereign."
The hearts of the spectators sighed, this was too shocking. Chen Wang's Astral Soul had already fused together with his body.
No one doubted that Chen Wang would break through to Heavenly Dipper the moment the Heavenly Fate Rankings ended.
Not only that, based on his attainments in the Mandate of Mandate, once he broke through to Heavenly Dipper, his speed wouldn't be any slower compared to those who had already broken through to Heavenly Dipper.
Hence, Chen Wang didn't lose much by waiting for the Heavenly Fate Rankings. On the contrary, he had gained quite a bit.
Chen Wang, who was now one with Si Qiong, erupted with lava flames. His palms blasted out once more as a gigantic flaming palm imprint covered the entire space in front of him.
Si Qiong soared up into the air, his palms slashing out as a prison of water appeared. His silhouette shot towards Chen Wang, his five palms striking out at the same time, aiming for Chen Wang's head.
"ROAR!" Chen Wang opened his mouth and spat out flames. After which, the flames abruptly solidified, causing the space in front of him to solidify. Even the water screen was about to solidify. Si Qiong was actually trapped within.
"You've lost."
Chen Wang roared as he slammed out with his palms. Si Qiong's body was flung through the air, and at the instant the flames exploded, Si Qiong's countenance turned pale.
This strongest dark horse ultimately didn't make it to the end, he was defeated by Chen Wang. However, this battle at the pinnacle had truly broadened the horizons of the spectators.
This was the Heavenly Fate Rankings this time around, so powerful that it caused the spectators to feel stifled.
Si Qiong stood up, staring at Chen Wang. Drawing in a deep breath, Si Qiong calmly stated, "You indeed have the qualifications to contend for the top spot in the Heavenly Fate Rankings. Congratulations on obtaining the first position."
Chen Wang's countenance turned calm as he inclined his head, staring at the skies.
"You're already very strong. After this battle, I'm afraid I'll need to rest for a long period of time before I can fully recover. It's not easy to obtain the first position," Chen Wang calmly stated.
The spectators inclined their heads and stared at the arena platform as they sighed in their hearts. This battle at the pinnacle was truly fascinating. Chen Wang truly deserved to be the first.
"Has the Heavenly Fate Rankings already ended?"
A discordant voice abruptly rang out, filled with doubt. The gazes of the spectators shifted over, only to see Qin Wentian floating in the air, staring at Chen Wang and Si Qiong.
The two of them kept on referring to themselves as the top ranker, as though the ranking battle had already ended.
Chen Wang glanced at Qin Wentian, as a look of disdain flashed in his eyes. "Count yourself lucky that you didn't encounter me this time around."
"Don't tell me you want to fight against me in your current state?" A mocking smile appeared on Qin Wentian's face. "If that's the case, I can ask Senior for permission. I don't mind blasting you off the platform."
Chen Wang furrowed his brows. His current state wasn't very good.
"Ridiculous," Chen Wang icily replied.
"Ridiculous." A demonic light flickered in Qin Wentian's eyes as he coldly stated, "The ranking battle hasn't ended yet, and the top ranker has yet to be determined. How shameless can you be? If you were to be defeated, wouldn't you be throwing away all your face?"
As the sound of his voice faded, Qin Wentian was already standing on the arena platform. The powerful Purgatory Vermilion Bird hovered behind him, its eyes gleaming with a terrifying sharpness as it stared at Chen Wang.
Qin Wentian quietly stood on the arena platform, demonic qi billowing out from him. This scene caused the hearts of the spectators to tremble, as they felt that it was extremely interesting.
This Qin Wentian hadn't given up yet, he still wanted to fight for the top spot. But although he wasn't bad, if he wanted to contend against Chen Wang, he still had to defeat Zhan Chen and Si Qiong first.
"You're truly confident."
A voice drifted over. The spectators only saw Zhan Chen stepping onto the arena platform, coldly laughing as he stared at Qin Wentian. "Finally, we're face-to-face. This time around, you better think about how you're going to survive."
Qin Wentian also stared at Zhan Chen. This was someone he had to defeat no matter what.
Regardless of whether it was for the top three rankings, or for the promise he made to Mo Qingcheng, as long as he defeated Zhan Chen, everything would be accomplished.
"Where does your confidence come from? It's been so many years, yet you're still at this level of strength." Qin Wentian mocked.
"Is that so? At the very least, with your current cultivation base at the eighth level of Yuanfu, do you really think you can contend against me?" The sharpness in Zhan Chen's voice grew denser and denser.
The person he wanted to defeat and kill the most, was none other than Qin Wentian.
Qin Wentian's demonic eyes stared up at the skies as the corners of his lips curled up. When he turned his gaze back to Zhan Chen, the aura he exuded exploded forth in a frenzy.
Taking a step forward, a terrifying demonic aura gushed out from his body. The energy he exuded seemed to be boiling as a raging wind swept across the area.
"Who told you that I'm at the eighth level of Yuanfu?!"
Qin Wentian roared. The instant his foot landed, the aura of a cultivator at the ninth level of Yuanfu gushed forth, gushing towards Zhan Chen!
