"Young Master!"
"Brother Chang'an!"
Gu Xian'er and Gu Fengyao had just completed their final breakthrough.
Just before the final rankings of the Human Ranking were settled, they had elevated their cultivation to the third level of the Void Comprehension Realm!
Chen Chang'an nodded at them before turning his gaze toward the sky.
By his calculations, the day of the Human Ranking's final settlement should arrive at any moment.
Right now, it seemed as though everyone in the entire Tai Xuan Realm had silently agreed to do the same—lifting their heads to quietly watch the heavens, awaiting the arrival of this final moment.
Boom!
Suddenly, though no unusual phenomena appeared in the sky, the entire Tai Xuan Realm trembled violently.
Every inhabitant could feel the earth shaking beneath them, as if the ground might shatter at any moment, plunging them all into an endless abyss.
"What's happening?"
"What... what's going on?"
"Wasn't today supposed to be the final settlement of the Human Ranking? Why hasn't the ranking appeared, but the earth is shaking instead?"
"Damn, could something major be happening?"
"Could this tremor be related to the Human Ranking?"
"Not sure, but..."
Discussions erupted everywhere, but before anyone could reach a conclusion, a golden light once again burst forth in the sky.
This time, the radiance was even more blinding. Those who had been looking upward instinctively shut their eyes, some even experiencing temporary blindness.
The golden light lingered far longer than usual.
As the earth gradually steadied, the brilliance softened.
Only then did the people dare to look up again.
"The Human Ranking has officially concluded."
"Rankings are now announced!"
"Rank 500: Lu Cai, Age: 32, Cultivation: Divine Ability Realm, Seventh Level."
Only the top 500 of the Human Ranking would qualify to advance and participate in the Earth Ranking.
"I made it!"
"Hahaha, I made it onto the ranking!"
Lu Cai, seeing his name appear first, danced with excitement.
Though he was only ranked 500th, he had surpassed countless others across the Tai Xuan Realm to earn this spot.
"Tch, only 500th, what's there to brag about?"
"But the rewards... why aren't the rewards announced?"
"Not sure. Maybe they'll distribute them after all the rankings are revealed."
"Wait, by the time we reach the top 100, their cultivation is already at the Divine Transformation Realm?"
"That's terrifying!"
"Are they even human? How did they cultivate so fast?"
By the time the rankings reached the top 100, the minimum strength required to make the list had risen to the first level of the Divine Transformation Realm.
Though everyone was stunned, they quickly calmed down—after all, the top few were even more monstrous.
"Rank 8: Ye Beiming, Age: 32, Cultivation: Divine Transformation Realm, Seventh Level."
"Rank 7: Nie Haotian, Age: 32, Cultivation: Divine Transformation Realm, Seventh Level."
Boom!
When the eighth and seventh ranks were announced, the entire crowd was dumbfounded.
They dropped again?
The former first and second had now been pushed down to seventh and eighth?
Who else?
Who else could be so terrifying as to overtake them at the last moment?
"Why... why is this happening?"
"Why did it turn out like this?"
"Now I can't even make the top five?"
Nie Haotian could hardly believe his eyes.
Losing to those four supreme freaks was one thing, but how had he fallen all the way to seventh?
Who?
Who had stolen his fifth place?
"Rank 6: Wu Mingdao, Age: 19, Cultivation: Divine Transformation Realm, Seventh Level."
"Rank 5: Li Qiye, Age: 18, Cultivation: Divine Transformation Realm, Seventh Level."
Wu Mingdao? Li Qiye?
Wu Mingdao was a somewhat familiar name, having previously ranked eighth.
Though few knew who this Wu Mingdao was, his name had been remembered.
But no one expected him to surge forward, directly claiming sixth place.
Even more shocking was Li Qiye.
Like Chen Yunxuan and the others before him, he had been completely unknown—yet his first appearance on the rankings landed him in fifth place.
Clearly, during the previous two updates of the Human Ranking, Li Qiye must have still been a nobody.
Yet, in this final year, he had soared to the seventh level of the Divine Transformation Realm at just eighteen years old.
Terrifying!
Absolutely terrifying!
"Who is this Li Qiye?"
"No idea, never heard of him before."
"His talent is insane—probably on par with Chen Yunxuan and Ye Zhiqiu, right?"
"Ugh, all of them are monsters."
"Rank 4: Gu Fengyao, Age: 32, Cultivation: Void Comprehension Realm, Third Level."
"Rank 3: Gu Xian'er, Age: 23, Cultivation: Void Comprehension Realm, Third Level."
"Rank 2: Ye Zhiqiu, Age: 21, Cultivation: Void Comprehension Realm, Fourth Level."
"Rank 1: Chen Yunxuan, Age: 19, Cultivation: Void Comprehension Realm, Fifth Level."
Compared to Li Qiye's sudden rise, the top four rankings didn't surprise anyone much.
But their cultivation progress—how was it possible?
How could they break through so effortlessly? Even at the Void Comprehension Realm, they advanced this quickly?
Too absurd!
"The Human Ranking announcements have concluded."
"Rewards will now be distributed!"
The rewards were coming?
This was the moment everyone had been waiting for—what would the Heavenly Dao's gifts be?
In the next instant, five hundred beams of light descended from the sky, enveloping every ranked cultivator.
"Damn! There's actually someone from the top 500 here!"
"Whoa, looks like there's another one over there!"
"Could it be Chen Yunxuan?"
"Not sure, but I hope it's Ye Zhiqiu!"
The sudden appearance of these beams caught everyone off guard, effectively exposing all five hundred ranked individuals.
Chen Chang'an watched as Gu Xian'er and Gu Fengyao were also bathed in the light.
"The rewards!"
"They weren't announced—just directly given?"
Chen Chang'an hadn't expected this. He had assumed the rewards would be publicly listed, not distributed in this manner.
"Breakthrough?"
"Two whole levels at once?"
"Not a bad reward."
He noticed that Gu Xian'er and Gu Fengyao's cultivation had jumped from the third level of the Void Comprehension Realm straight to the fifth.
A two-level boost.
"Young Master!"
"Brother Chang'an!"
"We broke through again!"
Once the light faded, the two women turned to Chen Chang'an with excitement.
"Good. So the reward was just cultivation progress?" Chen Chang'an asked.
"No!"
"There were other rewards too."
Other rewards?
"What were they?"
