Ye Xuan's true body retreated, his breath fluctuating.
"I concede!"
The voice of 'unwillingness' was heard, the Ice River giant beast clone was dumbfounded, damn it.
Just now, during the battle within the mist, he was being suppressed. Although he was using the peak of the Sixth Order Great Emperor, don't forget that his true body only used the strength of a Fifth Order Great Emperor.
Even so, he was completely crushed. If they had fought with full strength, he would have lost even more miserably.
Earlier, the Elf clone said he might be able to defeat the true body when he reached the Eighth Order Great Emperor, but now it seemed that even if he stepped into the Eighth Order Great Emperor, he might not be the true body's opponent.
As Ye Xuan's voice fell, everyone in the arena looked at Ye Xuan with changed eyes.
Although he lost, Ye Xuan had conquered everyone with his strength!
After all.
The top-ranked Ice River of the Elf race had ascended the Heavenly Ladder, and was at the peak of the Sixth Order Great Emperor, defying the heavens.
With such comprehensive combat power, even a Seventh Order Great Emperor might not be his opponent!
"Heh heh... truly an unexpected little fellow."
Mo Yu chuckled, his gaze falling meaningfully on Ye Xuan. This child's future achievements were limitless, and so was Ice River's.
"Liu Bai."
Mo Yu's eyes flickered, and he continued, "After this ranking competition, directly issue honorary guest invitations to Ice River and Ye Xuan."
"If necessary, provide covert protection to prevent malicious individuals from targeting them."
"This..."
Hearing Mo Yu's words, Dai Liu Bai was stunned at first, then nodded solemnly, "Yes, Lord Mo Yu!"
Although Mo Yu did not explicitly state it, Dai Liu Bai understood that the malicious individuals he was referring to were none other than the Futu honorary guests.
Of course!
This fellow colluded with the Sirius Empire and intended to subvert their Star River Empire. With this act alone, this fellow would surely have a bad end.
Nodding silently, Mo Yu then looked at the arena, his majestic voice echoing again, "Good!"
"I declare, this year's Star River Empire Planet Ranking Competition has concluded!"
"Binghe of the Elf race is the first place, and will receive 1000 High-grade Emperor Crystals!"
"Ye Xuan of Atlantean Star is the second place, and his planet will receive 800 High-grade Emperor Crystals!"
"Night Shadow is third place, and will receive 500 High-grade Emperor Crystals!!"
"Long Yan is fourth place..."
One voice after another resounded, pressing upon all directions. Outside the arena, Iliff and others' minds were reeling.
"This is... my heavens!"
Tu Meng swallowed hard, staring at Ye Xuan in the arena in astonishment. "General Ye, this is... oh my god, he actually received 800 High-grade Emperor Crystals!"
"Second place in the Star River Empire Planet Ranking Competition!!"
King Slaughter was also stunned as he looked at the arena. "Damn it, that General Ye hid himself too well. If his strength was like this just now, wouldn't I not be his match even now!?"
"This... this is real!!"
Iliff clenched his fists, this piece of information struck his mind like a thunderous roar, its impact unprecedented.
"800 High-grade Emperor Crystals!!"
Such wealth was equivalent to 80 years of income for their Atlantean Star.
As the voice fell, Mo Yu waved his hand and bestowed the respective rewards to the contestants. As for how the contestants would distribute them with their planets, that was none of his business.
Unsurprisingly!
The most eye-catching was the Ice River giant beast clone, Binghe, who received 1000 High-grade Emperor Crystals.
And...
Binghe did not represent the Elf planet, but himself. This meant that all 1000 High-grade Emperor Crystals were his own, which was exceptionally satisfying.
With 1000 High-grade Emperor Crystals, absorbing them might bring him close to the Ninth Order Great Emperor in this Star River, even if he didn't reach it.
"The Star River Empire's Planet Ranking Competition is hereby concluded!!"
Mo Yu's majestic voice continued to ring out. Following these words, the public erupted in cheers and sighs. After this battle, Binghe of the Elf race would surely become famous throughout the Star River Empire.
"Crack~!"
At this moment, in a dark corner.
Futu, the honorary guest, spat out blood with a grim expression. The situation here was clearly as bad as it could get for him.
"Seeking death!!!"
At this moment, the killing intent in Futu's heart was stronger than ever. "Whether it's Binghe of the Elf race or the kid from Atlantean Star, they must die!"
"However, it's not convenient for me to act directly."
After contemplating for a moment, Futu murmured, "After all... now is not the time to break ties with the Star River Empire."
"The Sirius Empire has many experts here. It would be best to let them act."
Thinking of this, Futu's lips curved into a sinister arc, and he immediately contacted the Sirius Empire, explaining his conditions.
Soon, Futu received a response.
The other party would spare no expense to ensure that Binghe and Ye Xuan would not be able to leave the Cang Qiong planet!
Futu then shifted his gaze back to Binghe and Ye Xuan, a cold smile playing on his lips. "The Sirius Empire is even stronger than the Star River Empire. Eliminating two minor characters here is as easy as flipping a hand."
"It's a pity... I can't personally kill those two little bastards!!"
As Futu raged, the planet ranking competition ended, and various forces began to withdraw. Ye Xuan walked to Iliff and tossed him the spatial bag, making Iliff feel as if he was carrying a mountain.
After all, it contained a full 800 Mid-grade Emperor Crystals.
However, Iliff was not greedy. He let out a deep sigh, took out 300 Mid-grade Emperor Crystals from it, and gave the remaining 500 to Ye Xuan. Clearly, this was not a fifty-fifty split, and the intention to win him over was evident.
"General Ye, including myself, we have all taken advantage of you."
"On behalf of Atlantean Star, I thank you!"
Even the 300 crystals in his hands were a colossal fortune for them.
"This... this is not appropriate."
"We agreed to a fifty-fifty split..."
Before Ye Xuan could finish, he was interrupted by King Slaughter. "Hey, you can't say that. If not for General Ye's exceptional talent, 300 Mid-grade Emperor Crystals would have been a pipe dream for us."
"Yes, General Ye, please don't refuse."
Tu Meng also chimed in at this moment. As for the others from Atlantean Star, their eyes twitched wildly. Damn it, does this mean General Ye now possesses 500 Mid-grade Emperor Crystals alone?
"This... this is fine then."
Ye Xuan did not insist. After all, High-grade Emperor Crystals were valuable. Each one was extremely precious, and now that he had adapted to the strength of a Seventh Order Great Emperor, using them to improve his cultivation was most suitable.
"Heh heh, good."
Iliff chuckled, "Then we will stay on Cang Qiong planet for two more days to rest, and then we will depart."
On the way here, Iliff and the others had already reached a consensus. After all, it was not easy to come to Cang Qiong planet, so why leave just like that? As for Ye Xuan, he also had his own little plans, as the 500 High-grade Emperor Crystals in his hand were still a bit few.
