Chapter 56: Divine Weapon Rankings
Atlas Studios Atlas Studios
Jing Prefecture’s Five Spirit Peak. The Five Elements Sect was located here.
Many platforms and pavilions were scattered on the five towering mountains that reached the clouds. Clouds and fog lingered, and curls of smoke spread in the air, giving them the demeanor of an immortal sect.
Right at that moment, a flood dragon flew over from the sky. An oppressive figure stood on the enormous dragon head.
He stood as straight as a pine, wearing a purple-black robe. He looked cold and majestic, and a faint purple glow lingered around him.
Roar!
The dragon’s roar shook the earth and alarmed everyone in the Five Elements Sect.
Everyone looked up in surprise and saw a huge purple palm print smashing down from the sky like a firmament.
It struck the Five Elements Sect’s Protective Mountain Array.
Bang!
The heavens and the earth shook. The Protective Mountain Array flashed violently as cracks appeared on it, and it was on the verge of collapse.
A terrifying pressure poured down, causing the expressions of the Five Elements Sect disciples to change drastically, and their faces were filled with horror and shock.
“Five Elements Sect’s Patriarch, come out and die!” The purple-robed figure standing on the flood dragon shouted.
He was one of the nine Kings of the Netherworld Cult of the Great Luo Holy Region—Crimson Dragon King.
Mo Lin was his junior brother and his closest friend in the sect.
After he came out of seclusion two days ago, he was heartbroken to know that the Netherworld Demon Sect had been destroyed and Mo Lin had been killed.
Later on, he heard that the Patriarch of the Five Elements Sect was behind it, so he rushed to the Five Spirit Peak to settle the scores with the Patriarch.
“Who is this person? He’s terrifying!”
“He nearly destroyed our Protective Mountain Array with a single strike!”
“This… this person seems more powerful than our sect master!”
“He’s here to find our Patriarch. Could he be the Patriarch’s nemesis?!”
“It’s fine, don’t panic, everyone. With the Patriarch here, we can surely defeat this person!”
“Isn’t the Patriarch still in seclusion!” Many Five Elements Sect disciples exclaimed.
At the same time, the Five Elements Sect Master, Perfected Yan Ji, flew out with a group of Five Elements Sect elders and quickly arrived in the sky above Five Spirit Peak.
“Sir, may I know why you’re looking for our patriarch?” Perfected Yan Ji was full of smiles, but he was panicking inside.
Looking at the person in front of him, he had a vague guess.
“Why? Your Sect’s Patriarch killed my junior brother, Mo Lin. Today, I will use the lives of everyone in your sect to mourn the death of my junior brother, Mo Lin!” Crimson Dragon King responded coldly.
Before he had finished his sentence, he formed hand seals and struck out with his palm.
The enormous palm print carried the tyrannic power of nature. With a bang, it lashed onto the Protective Mountain Array again.
Bang!
The entire Protective Mountain Array shook violently and collapsed.
The terrifying shockwave sent Perfected Yan Ji and the group of Five Elements Sect elders flying.
The disciples below were like fallen leaves in a violent wind, scattering from the impact. Some with lower cultivation even bled in the corners of their mouths.
The strike was truly terrifying.
If not for the Protective Mountain Array, this strike would probably have killed countless people.
Perfected Yan Ji’s expression was ugly, and he was terrified.
He was well aware this person was someone they could not mess with. His cultivation had probably reached the Profound Void Martial Stage.
An old monster at the Profound Void Martial Stage, who could stop him?
How could he have imagined that Mo Lin had such a terrifying backer?
He did not expect that he would be so blinded using a lie that he would actually provoke such a terrifying god of death.
Perfected Yan Ji knew that Mo Lin was somewhat related to the Netherworld Cult.
Still, he could not have imagined that an expert of the Netherworld Cult would come to seek revenge for the destruction of the Netherworld Demon Sect.
If he had known earlier, he would never have panicked like this.
“If your Patriarch wouldn’t come out, I’ll obliterate your Five Elements Sect!” Crimson Dragon King said coldly. His powerful aura was like a mountain that pressed down on everyone’s hearts. It sent chills while they trembled.
“It’s a misunderstanding, a misunderstanding! Senior, it’s all a big misunderstanding!” Perfected Yan Ji shouted in panic.
“Senior, Mo Lin was not killed by our Patriarch. To be precise, our Five Elements Sect has no Patriarch. All of this was a lie I fabricated in a moment of folly. I only hoped that this could improve the influence and prestige of our sect! To clarify, the person who destroyed the Netherworld Demon Sect was actually someone else!”
“What!?” Purple Dragon Holy King frowned deeply.
From the looks of it, he did not seem to be lying.
Furthermore, he had only just demonstrated his strength slightly, and this sect master was already this frightened. It was clear that this sect was not that powerful.
If the Netherworld Demon Sect was destroyed by a member of such a sect, then it would be too shameful!
Upon hearing Perfected Yan Ji’s confession, the expressions of every Five Elements Sect disciple drastically changed as they looked at each other in shock.
They had never doubted their sect master’s words and firmly believed that the Five Elements Sect’s long-missing Patriarch had killed Mo Lin.
They were even proud of it and looked forward to the Five Elements Sect’s rise to glory under the guidance of the returned Patriarch.
However, the sect master said that this was a lie he fabricated.
Was the sect master afraid of this expert, so he deliberately claimed he was lying, or was he really lying?
The Five Elements Sect disciples were at a loss.
At this moment, there was a sudden rumble in the sky as a heavenly might spread down from the sky.
Everyone looked up in shock.
Crimson Dragon King looked over in surprise as well.
The Heaven Dao Rankings brightened up again.
A few dazzling golden words condensed on the empty spot beside the 3000 Physique Rankings.
The Divine Weapon Rankings!
…
This ranking was the Great Xia Dynasty’s Divine Weapon Rankings. All divine weapons could be listed.
A total of 20 weapons are ranked where owners obtain the Heavenly Dao’s rewards!
The rankings are refreshed in real-time, and a reward shall be given every month.
An introduction of the Divine Weapon Rankings appeared on the Heavenly Dao Rankings.
“Another ranking has actually appeared!”
“I wonder which divine weapons will be on the Divine Weapon Rankings!”
“It’s going to be a carnival for the various large factions and families again. Divine weapons are not something an ordinary family should have!”
“Yeah, you’re right!”
Everyone in Nan’an City’s Dao Seeking Square was in a commotion.
The Physique Rankings had only just appeared a few days ago. No one expected a new ranking to appear so soon.
However, Zhu Xiaotian, who had just left the Dao Seeking Square and not gone far, was shocked again.
The last thing he wanted to see had happened. The Divine Weapon Rankings had appeared in advance.
Maybe it was because he had suffered too many blows in a row, or perhaps it was too big a blow, causing him to be stunned for a while.
His mind went blank.
“Divine Weapon Rankings? Haha, good timing. This is great!” Ye Qiu exclaimed in joy.
Back then, he had witnessed Li Yu obtain a spirit sword devoured by the demon child when he killed it.
Although he did not know what sword it was, he could tell that it was extraordinary at a glance.
It was highly likely that it would enter the Divine Weapon Rankings.
Moreover, he heard that Li Yu and the others had obtained a supreme-grade Immortal Artifact, the Demonic Carnage Sword, from the Netherworld Demon Sect.
Immortal artifacts were supreme treasures in the Great Xia Dynasty, especially supreme-grade ones.
The first place was probably the Demonic Carnage Sword.
Therefore, the appearance of the Divine Weapon Rankings might prove what he had just claimed.
It would prove that Li Yu was the mysterious expert who had killed the Wolf King, Mo Lin, and the demon child.
“Seniors of the various large sects and everyone present, the Divine Weapon Rankings has appeared at the right time. Am I lying, or is the Five Elements Sect telling lies? The Divine Weapon Rankings will surely provide us with an answer!” Ye Qiu looked at the surrounding people and asserted loudly.
His words caused another commotion, but it also whetted their appetite.
If Ye Qiu said that the Divine Weapon Rankings would provide answers, they would have to wait and see!
