Chapter 792: 1st Rank

Boom!
The battle between the duo caused the spatial zone to shatter as black cracks extended everywhere.
It was fortunate that the Swordsmen Guild headquarters was protected with the class 9 array, otherwise, the entire garden would collapse and turn into dust.
“The Sword Emperor is indeed formidable.”
The difference between having a sword heart and not having a sword heart was too significant.
The Sword Emperor was just like the fusion of Li Jianxin and the Sword Sovereign. No, the Sword Emperor was even stronger than the fusion. After all, be it the sword heart or the sword dao level, the Sword Emperor was superior to both Li Jianxin and the Sword Sovereign.
If an anomaly like Li Fuchen wasn’t here, there would be no Law Phase Realm swordsman in the Saint Spirit Continent that could threaten the Sword Emperor.
“Void Heaven Sword World!”
“Sole Rule!”
The void felt like a large crystal and there was a crack extending out from the middle. While withholding the cracked void, Li Fuchen and the Sword Emperor forcefully crossed moves. No one below the saints could interfere with the fight. Even the Sword Sovereign would be severely injured as soon as he entered.
At the borders of the spacious land, everyone was already flabbergasted. Be it the Sword Emperor or Li Fuchen, their strength had already gone beyond their imagination. They couldn’t understand how the two of them were so strong when they were still in the Law Phase Realm?
“There is always a taller mountain and bigger sky. I cannot compare with them.” Song Shanhe lamented.
There was a difference between people. There were times when the difference couldn’t be compensated even with time and hard work.
Li Jianxin clenched his fist tightly. He thought that after he cultivated the Skyline Sword Art’s fourth move, he would be almost comparable with Li Fuchen. But from the looks of it now, the difference didn’t shrink, as it actually increased.
“The Sword Emperor’s myth wouldn’t be broken like this right?” Yuwen Haojie held his breath and didn’t even blink once.
“Meteor Fall.”
The Sword Emperor was stronger than Li Fuchen’s expectation. Li Fuchen’s Void Heaven Sword World was already far superior to the Emotionless Sword Emperor’s sword move, Unmoved. However, it was still unable to deal with the Sword Emperor. Without a choice, Li Fuchen executed the Meteor Fall.
It was the same Meteor Fall, but this time, it was like a meteor that flashed by. By the time everyone reacted, it had already ended.
But the Sword Emperor was given his title for a reason. At the crucial moment, he still blocked the Meteor Fall.
The sword move that this fast was probably only blockable by the Sword Emperor’s solipsism sword dao. The Union of Man and Sword wasn’t just for show.
“Sole Tyranny!”
After blocking Li Fuchen’s Meteor Fall, the Sword Emperor vanished and was replaced by multiple sword qi that streaked across with tyranny.
Clang Clang Clang…
Li Fuchen’s body radiated. His sword was like a meteor that blocked all the sword qi.
When looking closely, these sword qi had the traces of the Sword Emperor within.
“Mm? Who is Li Fuchen? His ranking is climbing so quickly.”
“He is indeed climbing very quickly. He is already in the top 10.”
On the Great Emperor Rankings, there was a golden light rising rapidly.
One could see that the golden light was enveloping three words, ‘Li Fuchen’.
Li Fuchen and the Sword Emperor might have awakened the Great Emperor Rankings, but due to their qi presences intertwining together, the Great Emperor Rankings didn’t react immediately. Therefore, it allowed Li Jianxin to climb rapidly in the rankings first.
As time passed by, the Great Emperor Rankings was finally able to capture Li Fuchen’s qi presence and absorb it.
10th rank, 9th rank, 8th rank…
After reaching the top 10, Li Fuchen’s rank was still rising.
As for the Sword Emperor’s ranking, it had increased from 3rd rank to 2nd rank. He had pushed down the formerly 2nd ranked Eon Sovereign.
5th rank, 4th rank…
Finally, Li Fuchen arrived at the 4th rank and was just below the Eon Sovereign. He was now ahead of the Saber Emperor Chu Kuang.
Inside an inn situated in the Wind Cloud City, the Saber Emperor Chu Kuang sneered and released his qi presence at full power.
Immediately after, Chu Kuang’s name pulled down Li Fuchen’s name on the Great Emperor Rankings.
Before Chu Kuang could get happy, Li Fuchen’s name was now higher than him again. This time, Li Fuchen didn’t just surpass Chu Kuang, he even surpassed the Eon Sovereign and was now 3rd ranked. Li Fuchen was just below the Sword Emperor and the Heaven Emperor.
Bang!
Chu Kuang had an ashen expression as he crushed the winecup in his hand.
The Great Emperor Rankings might not be an accurate measurement of combat strength as there were plenty of other factors that would affect the combat strength. But Chu Kuang was still very unhappy for Li Fuchen to be ranked in front. At the Swordsmen Tournament, Chu Kuang had already promised Miao Chengxin to eliminate Li Fuchen.
“Interesting!’
In a city that was very far from Wind Cloud City, the Eon Sovereign lifted his head and looked at the Great Emperor Rankings.
He had been 2nd rank for 80 years. If the Heaven Emperor was the person that held 1st rank for the longest time, then the Eon Sovereign was the person who held 2nd rank for the longest time.
This was actually his first time being pushed down from 2nd rank.
That was actually fine, but he was now pushed down from the 3rd rank too.
Withdrawing his smile, the Eon Sovereign’s origin qi presence rushed into the sky.
“Mm?”
The Eon Sovereign originally thought he should be able to regain the 2nd rank after releasing his qi presence completely. But he was silenced by the next scene.
Let alone the 2nd rank, he could even climb up to the 3rd rank.
Li Fuchen’s name was like a great obstacle that sealed off his ascension.
“Forget it, the difference between 2nd and 4th isn’t very big anyway.” The Eon Sovereign laughed and didn’t think much of it.
There was a difference in qi fate for the 2nd and 4th rank, but it wasn’t significant.
Apart from that, being 2nd rank might not mean that the 2nd rank was stronger than the 4th rank.
There were many times when strength didn’t mean victory. There were things that couldn’t be exhibited with qi presence.
“This is too exaggerated. Li Fuchen is actually 3rd rank and has pulled down the Eon Sovereign.”
“Who exactly is he?”
No one was surprised that the Sword Emperor was 2nd rank, after all, he was originally 3rd rank. His reputation wasn’t inferior to the Eon Sovereign and was actually superior. Furthermore, he had once crossed moves with the Heaven Emperor and was able to retreat unscathed. According to what everyone knew, the Eon Sovereign didn’t cross moves with the Heaven Emperor before.
But what was Li Fuchen? No one knew if he was tall or short, fat or skinny.
“It is Elder Li!”
In a certain place of the Saint Spirit Continent, Yan Qingwu and the Vacant Mountain Emperor were looking up while the latter looked surprised.
He knew that Li Fuchen would be a radiant existence even in the Saint Spirit Continent, but he didn’t think that Li Fuchen would ascend to the top within such a short period of time. The Vacant Mountain Emperor released his qi presence earlier too, but he couldn’t even enter the rankings. Therefore, he knew how hard it was to enter the rankings.
“If I didn’t guess wrongly, he is the one who awakened the Great Emperor Rankings.”
Yan Qingwu’s instincts had always been strong.
By the side, the Thunder Beast nodded.
Li Fuchen’s strength was already deeply embedded in everyone’s heart.
With reservation, Yan Qingwu released her qi presence and fused it into the Great Emperor Rankings.
She was ranked rather high and was currently 30th rank. A few dozen years ago, she was already in the rankings and she wasn’t low in rank either. After a few dozen years, it seemed like there was a waste of time, but she condensed the saint spirit. Therefore, after reaching the Saint Spirit Continent, her strength had been improving rapidly every single day.
“Look, he is 2nd rank now.” The Thunder Beast reached out its claw and had an expression of worship.
Yan Qingwu and the Vacant Mountain Emperor looked up in response and noticed that Li Fuchen’s name was now 2nd rank.
Inside the Swordsmen Guild headquarters’ garden, excluding the Primary Extreme Sword Art and the body refinement strength, Li Fuchen had already used everything and finally held a slight advantage.
This intensified his fighting spirit. Li Fuchen wanted to know if he could defeat the Sword Emperor when they were both at the same cultivation realm.
With a sword like a meteor, Li Fuchen’s sword was getting faster. It was so fast that the Sword Emperor was standing to lose out.
The solipsism sword dao might contain the Union of Man and Sword, Li Fuchen’s Meteor Sword Art also contained the Union of Man and Sword. Logically, the solipsism sword dao would be superior to the Meteor Sword Art, however, this would depend on who was executing the Meteor Sword Art.
Li Fuchen’s sword was getting faster and it was increasingly glorious. The Sword Sovereign and the others could see that Li Fuchen’s Meteor Sword Art was transforming. This kind of transformation was truly terrifying.
While fighting with Li Fuchen, the Sword Emperor could also feel the transformation in Li Fuchen’s sword art.
Li Fuchen’s sword art was now a cocoon and it was now breaking out of the cocoon.
“Is it reaching extremity?” Li Fuchen’s eyes lit up very brightly.
Li Fuchen’s Meteor Sword Art had some similarities to the Sword Emperor’s solipsism sword dao. After mutual corroboration, the Meteor Sword Art was now transforming.
What was after a meteor?
Immediately after, Li Fuchen knew that it was splendor and glorious splendor.
The moment of glorious splendor couldn’t be stopped by anything, even though it came at the price of death.
Boom!
The splendor sword light illuminated the entire place. The Sword Emperor was sent flying as he vomited blood.
At this same moment, Li Fuchen’s rank on the Great Emperor Rankings surpassed the Heaven Emperor and was now 1st rank.
The change on the Great Emperor Rankings had stupefied countless people.
The Heaven Emperor had been pulled down?
No one dared to believe their eyes.
The Heaven Emperor who was 1st rank for 80 years had been an invincible existence in the Law Phase Realm in everyone’s heart. But today, the myth was destroyed.
“Even the Sword Emperor is defeated.” The Sword Sovereign took a deep glance at Li Fuchen while feeling shock in his heart.
At the center of the spacious land, after defeating the Sword Emperor, Li Fuchen was closing his eyes and seemingly comprehending something.
“The meteor sword dao is ultimately a second rate sword dao. But the splendor sword dao that is born should be considered a top rate sword dao.”
Inside the meteor was the splendor intent. It might not be as flamboyant as the sun, nor as dazzling as the flame. But the splendor intent that burst out for that instant was purer than the sun and the flame. This was the reason why Li Fuchen was able to push the Meteor Sword Art to the extremity.
Of course, now that the Meteor Sword Art was at its extremity, it was no longer called the Meteor Sword Art, it was now the Splendor Sword Art.
