(Third Update: Just in time for seven days. Looking for another wave of monthly votes.)
A figure stood within the Divine General Ranking. His body was surrounded by strands of airflow that revolved around him. The airflow was extremely powerful and vaguely gave off the feeling of a surging ocean. A powerful aura spread out.
He was Marquis Tianlan, ranked second on the Divine General Ranking.
The opening of the Universe Secret Area had a huge impact. At least in the next ten years, many people on the God General List had obvious improvements. They all reached their limits and then broke through.
Those who succeeded in breaking through naturally stepped into the fourth realm and left the Divine General Ranking.
Almost ninety percent of the top 100 on the Divine General Ranking had been changed because they had broken through to the fourth realm. Naturally, those who were ranked lower had moved up.
Marquis Tianlan was originally ranked outside the top 100 on the Divine General Ranking. However, after the trip to the Universal Secret Territory, he had gained a lot and his strength had greatly improved. Coupled with the breakthroughs of the top 100 experts and his several challenges, he finally obtained the second place on the Divine General Ranking. This was a ranking he had never dared to imagine before.
He had done it. Now, he was not satisfied, especially after learning some information. He wanted to go further.
Challenge!
He wanted to challenge the first on the Divine General Ranking, Unparalleled Sword Gentleman Chen Zong.
If he succeeded, he would not only become the top expert on the Divine General Ranking, but also change his title from Marquis Tianlan to Lord Tianlan or Divine Lord Tianlan.
Divine Lord Tianlan sounded much more brilliant than Marquis Tianlan.
More and more consciousnesses appeared in the Divine Generals Ranking. Dozens, hundreds, thousands of them.
Because this was a battle between the second and first on the Divine Generals Ranking. According to their estimations, it should be very intense and exciting.
However, after waiting for a long time, the first on the Divine General Ranking, Unparalleled Sword Gentleman, did not appear.
"What's going on?"
"Is he afraid? Does he not dare to come? "
"It's impossible that he doesn't dare to come, unless he wants to admit defeat. However, he might be deliberately stalling for time."
"Unparalleled Sword Gentleman probably doesn't live up to his name."
"First, he was defeated by Samsara Divine Lord, then by Zi Yang Divine Lord, and now by Black Light Marquis. Fortunately, those geniuses who were recruited by the Holy Lands did not challenge him. Otherwise, who knows how many more times he would have been defeated."
"The innate godly body is too strong. I have nothing to say about it. That Black Light Marquis was easily defeated by Chen Zong in the Universe Secret Territory. Who would have thought that after being taken in by a Saint, he would improve so much and even defeat Chen Zong. How enviable."
"It's a pity that Chen Zong didn't catch the Saint's eye despite his extraordinary swordsmanship."
"Hmph, if he wasn't chosen by a Saint, then it must be because his potential isn't enough to catch the eye of a Saint. This kind of person will only be in the limelight for a while."
Amidst the various conversations, a figure appeared on the Divine Generals Ranking.
Seeing that figure appear, all the chatter and discussion quieted down.
Unparalleled Sword King Chen Zong!
"I thought you wouldn't dare to come." Marquis Tianlan's eyes burst with light. His tyrannical aura swept out like a raging tide, becoming more and more shocking and powerful. It actually released an astonishing momentum that swept out in all directions and filled the four corners of the world. Immediately, the people around him felt an astonishing pressure from the momentum. It was extremely oppressive.
Strong!
One had to admit that Marquis Tianlan's strength was still very strong.
In the face of Marquis Tianlan's aggressive words, Chen Zong only smiled slightly, as if he didn't care at all.
This attitude immediately made Marquis Tianlan frown. He was secretly angry. What does this mean? Is he looking down on me?
He attacked out of anger and slammed his palm across the sky. In an instant, an extremely powerful force pushed forward with a force that could topple mountains and overturn seas. Its might was overbearing and powerful to the extreme. It covered the sky and covered the earth, directly enveloping everything.
Pressure!
An astonishing pressure also spread out, causing everyone to feel even more oppressed.
Indeed, being ranked second on the Divine General List was not a fluke, but a genuine strength.
Unexpectedly, Chen Zong frowned slightly. When the crowd saw this, they thought that Chen Zong was feeling dignified. Little did they know that Chen Zong was surprised.
How dare he challenge me with such strength?
Of course, it was not to say that he wasn't strong. He was indeed very strong, but compared to my previous opponents, such as Samsara Divine Lord and Zi Yang Divine Lord, the gap was still very obvious. Even Marquis Black Light, who was accepted as a disciple by Saint Xuanming, was stronger than him.
Speaking of which, the Black Light Marquis should not be a match for him. However, he did not expect that after the Black Light Marquis had been accepted as a disciple by the Xuanming Saint, after more than ten years of bitter cultivation, the Black Light Marquis's strength had improved so much that it was beyond his imagination.
Indeed, the effect of being accepted as a disciple by a Saint was very good. Of course, Marquis Black Light's talent was also very good. Otherwise, he would not have improved so much. Although his Divine Body was an acquired Divine Body, its potential was still very amazing.
Right now, Marquis Tianlan had an Innate Heavenly King Body. Although he was also very strong, compared to my previous opponents, he was really weak.
Unknowingly, Chen Zong's mind wandered.
Just as Marquis Tianlan's mountain-toppling and ocean-overturning palm strike was about to hit him, Chen Zong also seemed to come back to his senses. He placed his right hand on the hilt of his sword unhurriedly. In an instant, an extremely powerful sword light gushed out.
Idealism!
Chen Zong did not intend to fight with Marquis Tianlan because his opponent's strength was not strong enough for him. In addition, Chen Zong had already reached the peak and was planning to break through to the Fourth Realm. He did not intend to waste time.
A sword pierced through the air!
The sword light was faintly discernible, but it condensed an unparalleled sharpness. In an instant, it broke through the air and directly tore through Marquis Tianlan's mountain-toppling and ocean-overturning palm strike.
There was no way to dodge it!
It was too fast. The speed of the sword was completely impossible to dodge, and there was no time to defend.
Piercing!
Marquis Tianlan's forehead was directly pierced through, and his face was full of confusion.
How could this be?
Shouldn't he first have an intense battle, then burst out with an extremely powerful force to suppress his opponent before defeating him and successfully taking first place on the Divine Generals Leaderboard?
How could this be?
One sword strike!
It was just one sword strike, but Marquis Tianlan, who was ranked second on the Divine Generals Leaderboard, could not block it. Moreover, he was defeated when he took the initiative to attack.
Exclamations continued, and everyone was shocked. Marquis Tianlan's figure also disappeared. He had lost.
Then, Chen Zong also left. He had won.
The consciousness of the crowd could not calm down for a long time.
They were still mocking Chen Zong before, but who would have thought that Chen Zong had such terrifying strength? It was really terrifying.
"Hmph, his potential will definitely stop here. Once he reaches the Fourth Realm, he will be nothing," someone said with a cold snort. However, no one could tell what the truth was.
This was because Chen Zong had not reached the Fourth Realm yet. Even after reaching the Fourth Realm, there would be a period of silence.
Look at that Samsara Immortal Lord. He was a Fourth Realm expert now, but he was still a nobody in the Fourth Realm.
The waters of the Fourth Realm were deeper than those of the Third Realm.
After leaving the Divine Generals Leaderboard, Chen Zong withdrew his essence, Qi, and spirit and began to prepare.
His cultivation and techniques had now been raised to the extreme. His Sword Dao, Dao of the Heart, and Dao of the World had also been comprehended to the extreme, to the point where there was no more room for improvement. The twelve Divine Glyphs of the Great Path were all extremely condensed and connected with each other. They were about to completely condense into a Dao seal.
Everything had reached the extreme, and everything was ready.
It was time to break through.
In the Trustwind Brothel, Chen Zong began to break through. Chen Zong's breakthrough was no small matter. He was immediately sent to a secret place in the Trustwind Brothel. It was safer and more reliable to break through here, and it was also better because there were formations and other things to increase his strength.
There was still a group of experts outside.
Don't worry and break through. This was the Master of the Trustwind Brothel's original words.
If not for the fact that the Trustwind Brothel Master did not cultivate Sword Dao, he would have taken Chen Zong as his last disciple.
It was a pity that he, who did not cultivate Sword Dao, could not give Chen Zong any pointers in other Great Paths. Taking Chen Zong as his disciple would only delay his progress.
In the secret place, the formation was activated. Endless Qi of the universe was immediately absorbed and gathered in the formation. It surrounded Chen Zong in all directions and became increasingly dense. Gradually, from nothing, it condensed into wisps of mist and spread out.
The mist was formed by the Qi of the universe. The originally thin mist quickly became thicker and thicker. Then, it began to be stained with traces of moisture. That was because the mist had become so dense that it was about to liquefy.
The mist was formed by the condensation of the Qi of the universe. Once it liquefied, it would be even more amazing.
Feeling the increasingly dense and pure Qi of the universe around him, Chen Zong was secretly shocked. At the same time, he was also very grateful. If he had broken through in the outside world, it would have been difficult for him to find such a good environment.
Of course, ordinary geniuses would not have such treatment because this secret place was the first secret place of the Trustwind Brothel. Usually, it was used by experts of the Fifth and Sixth Realms. Chen Zong could use it because of his outstanding talent. Of course, it was also because the Trustwind Brothel Master valued him.
The huge and mysterious formation was operating continuously. Countless Yuan Qi of the universe was being drawn over, covering an area of a thousand miles in radius. It was extremely shocking. Such a vast and mighty momentum also shocked everyone in the Trade Wind Restaurant. Those who didn't know what was going on were guessing endlessly, but they didn't know what was going on.
The Trustwind Brothel Master was also paying attention. He was looking forward to seeing how big the commotion would be when Chen Zong, who was ranked first on the Divine General List, broke through to the Fourth Realm. He also wanted to see how big the improvement would be after breaking through to the Fourth Realm.
The Fourth Realm was a general term. Of course, there were also different levels.
Entry, Small Success, Large Success, Complete, and Divine Lord List experts were not that simple.
However, most people who broke through to the Fourth Realm were close to entry. They would need to spend at least a few years or even more to consolidate and adapt before they could directly reach the entry level.
However, once experts on the Divine General List broke through, they would only need a few months to reach the entry level. The higher their ranking on the Divine General List, the greater the improvement after the breakthrough. They could even reach the Small Success in a short time.
This would undoubtedly save a lot of time.
The breakthrough to the Fourth Realm was even more difficult than the Third Realm. From entry level to Small Success, it was very difficult under normal circumstances to spend at least a few decades. It might even take a few hundred years. As for going from Small Success to Large Success, it was even more difficult.
