Chapter 49: Chapter 49: Golden Ranking Updated, New Rules Arrive!
Slaughter Zhenren, has he fallen?!
"What the hell, what’s going on? Slaughter Zhenren, isn’t he a Quasi-Saint?"
"Oh my gosh, how did he fall? Who killed him?"
"This bloody rain is terrifying; could it be poisonous? Let’s keep our distance."
"It’s like those great powers dying in novels, and heaven and earth grievously mourn, this is heaven and earth lamenting!"
"Who killed Slaughter Zhenren? We already have few strong figures left, and one of the top five just vanished like that?"
"It must have been one of the top four who killed him, who else could have done it?"
Slaughter Zhenren was a Quasi-Saint, his fall left the whole nation in shock.
Countless cultivators were in shock; why did Slaughter Zhenren suddenly disappear?
With his Quasi-Saint cultivation, theoretically, aside from the top four, he was unbeatable worldwide.
Could it really have been one of the top four who killed him?
Then who could it have been?
At this moment, not only were they shocked, but the three ranked above Slaughter Zhenren were also surprised.
...
"What’s going on, how did Slaughter Zhenren vanish?!" Peng Dahai gazed at the golden list in the sky in horror.
Although he’s a Saint King with countless years to live, he still fears death because there’s someone even stronger than him looming overhead.
Now, seeing the fifth-ranked Slaughter Zhenren fall, he felt even more scared.
This sudden fall was too bizarre; he hadn’t taken action, so it’s highly likely one of the other three did it.
The one who claims to be weaker than the Heavenly Dao probably wouldn’t – their cultivation levels are both Quasi-Saint, and Slaughter Zhenren might not lose.
Moreover, he would surely have sensed such a battle, but instead, he heard of Slaughter Zhenren’s fall unexpectedly.
It must have been an even more dreadful existence who killed Slaughter Zhenren.
Besides him, only Celestial Venerable Xiao Yao could kill someone quietly, and that someone was still a Quasi-Saint!
What exactly did Slaughter Zhenren do to make Celestial Venerable Xiao Yao so furious?
Peng Dahai didn’t dare to think; Celestial Venerable Xiao Yao must have had his reasons for doing it; he wouldn’t kill indiscriminately.
As long as he doesn’t offend him, he won’t kill innocents unnecessarily.
Peng Dahai felt it deeply; he’d once invaded Celestial Venerable Xiao Yao’s privacy and was severely injured.
But the other party didn’t kill him, sparing his life, meaning the offense wasn’t severe enough to warrant death.
Slaughter Zhenren must have done something to ignite Celestial Venerable Xiao Yao’s wrath; otherwise, he wouldn’t have been killed.
Understanding this, Peng Dahai breathed a sigh of relief and bowed in every direction again.
"Celestial Venerable Xiao Yao, it was my fault before, I’m sorry, sorry!"
...
Maintenance Department.
Headquarters.
"Who would have thought, a Quasi-Saint would just die like that; it’s such a pity." Li Long looked at the cultivation golden list outside the window, sighing as he spoke.
One of the country’s strongest forces, a Quasi-Saint, just died so unclear and muddled; it’s really a pity.
After a while, a woman came over: "Master Li, we’ve investigated, it’s not the works of ’Weaker Than the Heavenly Dao’ and ’Mighty Sky Dragon’, it’s very likely done by ’Is There Anyone Else’ or the Great Emperor."
"The Great Emperor?" Li Long muttered, his clouded eyes suddenly widening. If it truly was done by the Great Emperor,
then there might indeed be some hidden truth to this matter, because he believed the Great Emperor wouldn’t just kill randomly.
The ones he kills are those who should be killed.
This matter cannot be concluded hastily.
"Spread the word, no one is to discuss this matter, and it shall pass." Li Long coldly ordered.
If discussed, and the top few get unhappy, the Maintenance Department would be in danger.
At the moment, he still can’t be entirely sure if these people have the nation’s best interests at heart, but it’s clear that Celestial Venerable Xiao Yao does have Huaxia in his heart.
"Yes!"
"Also, there’s another matter, an invitation came from the Superpower Empire inviting us to participate in a global competition."
"Global competition?" Upon hearing this, Li Long sneered, "No wonder they’re letting people go, turns out they’re staging this gimmick."
The others might not know the Superpower Empire, but doesn’t he?
What the Superpower Empire is doing is nothing but wanting to see each country’s strength, then targeting weaker countries, and expanding their control.
He’s all too familiar with such tricks.
But now, Huaxia is no longer the Huaxia of the past; it’s not a place that anyone can bully anymore.
"Agree to it, we’ll send people; since they want to probe, it’s time to give the countries a little shock from Huaxia."
"Yes!"
The female officer left, and Li Long chuckled coldly.
If they just want to see strength, then let’s see.
Let’s find out if we are more powerful or you are more powerful.
...
The fall of Slaughter Zhenren threw the nation’s cultivators into panic.
The Quasi-Saint is dead; could they die too?
It’s causing public unrest.
And just at this moment, the golden list in the sky spoke again.
[Due to the fall of Slaughter Zhenren, according to the rules of the golden list: if someone ranked in the top ten is killed, the killer receives 20% of the killed person’s cultivation.]
Upon hearing this, the entire nation was astounded.
The golden list has rules?
You can gain 20% of the killed person’s cultivation by killing them?
This is too exaggerated.
However, limiting it to the top ten greatly restricts many people.
After all, each of the top ten is an exceptional power; they can’t be killed casually.
But if luck is on one’s side, and accidentally manages to kill a top ten,
that wouldn’t be bad either.
Still, contemplating it is a nearly impossible task.
[Additionally, the top ten of the cultivation golden list will be updated in real-time, and if one surpasses others, a new ranking will be issued.]
[If those in the top ten kill someone ranked below them, they can gain 10% of that person’s cultivation.]
The golden list spoke again, causing everyone to be shocked!
Gaining 10% of cultivation by killing those below them?!
That means the top ten could gain cultivation by killing ordinary cultivators.
Although their cultivation is much less, they are many in numbers; with new cultivators adding up, at least five hundred million people in the nation have embarked on the cultivation path now.
If they are all slaughtered, a Saint could break through to a Saint King, and a Saint King might even make a breakthrough!
From now on, Huaxia could become a hell on earth!
Ordinary cultivators are terrified; the top ten possess unimaginably horrifying power, and if they truly harbor a killing intent and kill recklessly,
there might not be many who could stand against them.
But their greatest fear is Celestial Venerable Xiao Yao!
With a single thought, he could ignite Blue Star; with a single thought, everyone must die.
The cultivation he could gain would allow him to break through the unattainable Great Emperor realm?
Everyone only hopes Celestial Venerable Xiao Yao is not someone who kills indiscriminately; otherwise, they all would face death!
And while the public had not yet recovered from their shock, the golden list spoke again.
[Fifth place, updated]
[Fifth place: Number 2, Quasi-Saint]
