Beastmaster of the Ages - Chapter 7686

Chapter 7601: The First?

Emperor Qianfeng, standing high in the sky, suddenly turned his gaze to a corner, seemingly fixed on a certain figure.

Then, a figure suddenly rose from the Super Star Battlefield.

This person was covered in dragon scale armor, obscuring their true appearance.

Countless sect elders and disciples returning from the Upside-Down Tower cast curious glances.

The dragon-armored figure then slowly spoke, his voice deep and resonant:

“Next, the Star Ranking will display those who survived to the end in the second round of trials and achieved a ranking in the top 128.”

As his words fell, a dazzling golden light flashed across the Star Ranking!

This golden light seemed to slowly inscribe words on a giant stone tablet…

Because the Myriad Sects Emperor Ranking had broken through the Myriad Sects Battle Hall and hung high above the Beacon Ruins, even more people witnessed this scene.

At the very top was the name of Li Tianming!

And beside this name were the Emperor Points Li Tianming had obtained in the first round, converted from 1111 Emperor Stars!

However, the dragon-armored man continued to explain, “The names on the initial list are not ranked; they are merely a display of those who have made it. Scoring will begin shortly!”

The Qianfeng Ring itself has a built-in recording function, so there’s no need to count each treasure individually; it can simply wait for its own tally.

This is something only the most advanced Dao array technology of the Qianfeng Eternal Empire could create, capable of instantly teleporting people over extremely long distances. In a sense, the Qianfeng Ring itself is a supreme treasure!

Of course, Li Tianming has no use for it. He has an even more powerful World Planet, and according to the information Yin Chen found, after this ranking, the Qianfeng Ring will automatically degenerate into an ordinary Sumeru Ring, making it meaningless to Li Tianming.

After the dragon-armored man finished explaining the rules, the names on the Star Ranking suddenly changed!

*Buzz—*

As an even more intense golden light shot into the sky, the Imperial Points next to each of the 128 names simultaneously surged!

In just an instant, they at least doubled, surpassing their original Imperial Points!

This momentum was outrageously fast!

However, what froze the smiles of Li Dixiao and the others was that Li Tianming’s Emperor Points growth rate had actually slowed down, growing slower than others!

“How is this possible? Tianming clearly obtained so many treasures!” Li Zhaotang frowned slightly, somewhat flustered by concern.

Li Xuanyin pondered for a moment, “Could it be because Tianming offended too many internal forces?”

However, Xuan Tianque smiled and said, “Don’t worry, this is because the points are calculated starting from the lowest-grade treasures. This kid probably has too many in total. Others have already finished calculating the low-grade treasures, and his is still so many that Qianfeng Ring can’t count them all at once. Moreover, the Republic of China is the organizer of the Ten Thousand Sects Emperor War. Who would dare to interfere?”

In just a few words, he dispelled everyone’s doubts about whether there was any foul play.

Hearing this, Li Dixiao was slightly relieved.

Sure enough, after a period of time, Li Tianming’s Emperor Points experienced another explosive growth!

At this time, he had skyrocketed from the initial thousand-plus Emperor Points to tens of thousands!

His name, which had been relegated to the bottom, suddenly surged to the top, leaving the sect elders present almost stunned.

“Just how many treasures has he looted? Our disciples’ Emperor Points are almost depleted, while he’s only just finished calculating his lowest-grade treasures?”

“Forget about us outer sects, he’s completely crushed the treasures of even the inner-region member states!”

In reality, everyone only saw Li Tianming’s repeated victories and knew he had seized a considerable amount of treasure, but they didn’t have a clear concept of the exact quantity.

This was because often, after Li Tianming robbed someone’s Qianfeng Ring, he would directly transfer the treasure to his own, making it impossible for outsiders to see the exact amount.

Buzz—

Just as everyone was still reeling from the shock, a huge change occurred on the Star Ranking!

What left everyone speechless was that Li Tianming’s Emperor Points had risen to 50,000!

And below that, the second-ranked ‘Shan Kui’ had 40,000 Emperor Points!

This gap of ten thousand is no small matter; it would take at least ten more top-tier teams to close the gap!

“Is Li Tianming a monster? Just how many treasures has he collected?” Zhao Hongyuan on the stands asked, her eyes wide with shock.

What truly shocked the young geniuses and sect elders present wasn’t Li Tianming’s first-place Emperor Points, leading everyone else, but rather that while everyone else’s Emperor Points had almost stopped growing, Li Tianming’s had experienced another explosive increase!

Boom!!! 100,000! 200,000!

500,000 ! This terrifyingly rapid growth rate clearly indicated that it was time to calculate the Ancient Star Palace! In the end, Li Tianming’s Emperor Points settled at one million! This number of Emperor Points meant he was far ahead of the second-place person! Everyone present was stunned, their eyes practically bulging out of their sockets. On the stands of the Super Star Battlefield, Li Tianming remained calm under the watchful eyes of the crowd, seemingly unsurprised by the result. Those from various outer sects were so shocked they were almost speechless! “What unparalleled heroism!” “Such a number of Emperor Points might even be a record; no one has ever exceeded a million Emperor Points before!” “Li Tianming… he’s truly defying the heavens!” “To achieve this result, merely because he’s from an outer sect, who can still use the barrenness of the outer sect as an excuse in front of him? The strong never complain about their environment, but change it!” Exclamations arose all around, and even some disciples from sects who were initially unconvinced of Li Tianming secretly took him as a role model. This was the change in perception brought about by absolute strength. Ji Qingyue quietly patted Li Tianming’s shoulder and said with a smile, “Kid, not bad, it wasn’t in vain that I took care of you.” Li Tianming was speechless upon hearing this. “How many times have you intervened? I dealt with all the opponents.” “When we fought… when we fought that Wusheng Illusion Sect, didn’t I contribute?” Ji Qingyue glared, seemingly a little guilty. “Do you think it makes a difference whether you contributed or not against opponents of that level?” Li Tianming chuckled. “Hmph, I don’t care. At least, without my involvement, you wouldn’t have become a candidate for the Martial Immortal Group’s assessment,” Ji Qingyue said, hands on her hips.

“I don’t believe my performance in wielding the Inverted Tower won’t be noticed,” Li Tianming said calmly.

“You! Fine, I’m breaking off our friendship for a quarter of an hour. I don’t want to talk to you anymore, you bastard!” Ji Qingyue was so angry that her chest ached.

Just as the two were still bickering, Emperor Qianfeng looked at Li Tianming and smiled, “Tianming, you performed very well. Not only did you stand out from many outer sects, but you also defeated some inner forces.”

Upon hearing this, Prince Yuan and the other emperors beside him looked rather displeased.

“Thank you, Your Majesty. I was just lucky.” Li Tianming understood Emperor Qianfeng’s meaning and cupped his fists to the surrounding crowd with a smile, saying, “You flatter me, Your Majesties, and Prince Yuan.”

Prince Yuan snorted coldly, his gaze somewhat indifferent.

Now that Li Tianming was close to Emperor Qianfeng, he couldn’t openly target Li Tianming anymore.

As for the Heavenly Emperor of Myriad Realms, he smiled and waved his hand with great poise, saying, “You earned this yourself; it’s your skill, truly impressive.”

But in reality, no one knew his true thoughts.

“Thank you, Heavenly Emperor of Myriad Realms,” Li Tianming said, bowing and expressing his gratitude regardless of the other party’s thoughts.
