Killing the chicken to warn the monkeys!
That's right, this was Ye Xuan's plan at the moment. Only by crushing his challengers forcefully would others be deterred.
"Since that's the case!"
"Then let's fight..."
Ye Xuan flashed and disappeared from his original spot, reappearing on the stage opposite Luo Ming.
"Since you ranked second in the Heaven's Ladder battle, I won't test you. Let's begin directly!"
Luo Ming knew he was more than ninety percent likely to be no match for the person in front of him. He immediately took out a king-grade long sword and attacked Ye Xuan with a terrifying slash, his speed so fast that it reached him in an instant.
"Begin directly~"
Ye Xuan's lips curved into a smile. His fifth-order Great Emperor aura surged, and then a crackling thunder spread from his right hand. He attacked Luo Ming's long sword with his bare fists.
Boom~!!
With one punch, Luo Ming, who was attacking terrifyingly, was directly sent flying by the thunder. The crackling thunder carried Luo Ming's retreating figure, appearing dozens of feet away.
Thump~
Luo Ming's eyes widened. With a dull thud, he knelt on one knee. A spurt of blood sprayed out. He was clearly heavily injured by Ye Xuan's single move, but Luo Ming knew that Ye Xuan had held back. He bowed and cupped his fists, "Thank you for holding back, esteemed sir. Your second rank in the Heaven's Ladder Gang is well-deserved!!"
"Stage 108, Ye Xuan of [Planet Atlantis] wins!"
Whoosh~!!
As soon as this was said, everyone's gaze towards Ye Xuan changed, including the powerful individuals from the Ten Thousand Strong.
The strike Ye Xuan had just unleashed would likely make even peak fifth-order Great Emperors take heed.
As expected... Thunder cultivators, being the most overbearing type of ability users, were indeed very powerful!!
Hiss~~
Seeing this, Tu Meng's pupils widened. "My heavens, General Ye actually defeated a fifth-order Great Emperor with a single blow, no, he severely injured him!"
"And from the tone of that fifth-order Great Emperor, this was with General Ye holding back."
"If General Ye hadn't held back, wouldn't that fifth-order Great Emperor have been instantly killed by General Ye in one exchange!"
Hearing Tu Meng's words, the Killing King and Yan Yue Wang from Planet Qiulong both looked grave, for they had faintly sensed a threat to themselves from that strike.
"Star Lord, General Ye has grown so quickly."
The Killing King then smacked his lips. "Perhaps it won't be long before I'm no match for General Ye."
"Although General Ye carries the title of General, his strength is likely no weaker than that of the Seven Killers."
I Li Fu nodded in agreement as he listened to the Killing King. "Indeed!"
"When we return, it seems General Ye's title will need to be changed. Will our Planet Atlantis have another War King~"
Qiulong Star Lord, "........"
Damn it~
There's no comparison without harm. Their Planet Qiulong's Lai Yue Jing is currently only ranked 9837, and he might not even be able to defeat Luo Ming, let alone that monstrous talent from Planet Atlantis.
As expected, with Ye Xuan's small display of strength, few people challenged him afterwards.
Thus, the fierce battles for the Ten Thousand Strong rankings proceeded at a rapid pace.
7500...
7000...
6500...
Soon, they reached the 1000th rank. "I choose opponent number 2, Ye Xuan!"
Indeed!
Ye Xuan welcomed his second battle. However, his opponent this time was a peak fifth-order Great Emperor.
"Make your move."
Upon arriving at the stage, Ye Xuan looked at the peak fifth-order Great Emperor opposite him. With his current seventh-order Great Emperor cultivation, the peak fifth-order Great Emperor opponent was clearly not enough to watch.
Bang~
As expected, with the same punch, thunder flashed, and he was sent flying dozens of feet away, spitting blood. His opponent, with a look of horror, bowed. However, at this moment, everyone was truly stunned.
Holy cow~!
He heavily injured a peak fifth-order Great Emperor with one punch, and he even held back. Is that kid a monster?
"Good kid!!"
Mo Yu watched from the arena, his eyes shining with brilliance. "It seems this kid's monstrous talent far exceeds our imagination."
"Not only can he defeat enemies of a higher realm, but he hasn't even used his weapon. If his weapon were included, perhaps ordinary sixth-order Great Emperors would not be his match."
"This child... has astonishing combat power!!"
Dai Liu Bai pondered, while Ye Ying on the other side looked grave. "That damned kid, I didn't expect him to have some skills!"
"Strong!"
Seeing this scene, the Killing King also became more serious, clearly realizing that he had underestimated Ye Xuan just now.
The Qiulong Star Lord's expression flickered, thinking about something. If this guy could be won over, perhaps their Planet Qiulong would receive considerable protection in the future.
"Yan Yue."
"Issue an order that from this day forward, no one is to offend this Ye Xuan, especially Lai Yue Jing."
Lu Tian said solemnly. Given this child's talent, he would likely enter the peak fifth-order Great Emperor realm, or even the sixth-order Great Emperor realm, in no time.
"Yes, Star Lord!!"
Yan Yue Wang solemnly replied and immediately sent a message to Lai Yue Jing, clearly aware of the seriousness of the matter.
Various factions were shaken, and the fierce battles on the stage continued.
The higher one went, the more people there were who wanted to soar to the heavens.
During this period, even Bing He was challenged several times, but each time he was easily defeated by Bing He's ice sword.
Finally!
The final challengers arrived within the top twenty. As expected, although these twenty individuals were peak fifth-order Great Emperors, their combat power far exceeded their cultivation realms, with at least the combat power comparable to sixth-order Great Emperors.
"Opponent, rank two, Ye Xuan!"
The twentieth-ranked expert spoke out his challenge, once again facing Ye Xuan. This person had previously defeated a peak fifth-order Great Emperor of the same rank with a single move.
"Fight!"
Upon arriving at the stage, Ye Xuan took the initiative to attack this time. He flipped his right hand, and the Sky Breaking Thunder Spear appeared. The next moment, terrifying thunder light flashed, piercing towards the twentieth-ranked opponent with a near-destructive aura.
Boom~~
Terrifying thunder raged, and the twentieth-ranked expert was directly sent flying by Ye Xuan's Sky Breaking Thunder Spear, retreating more than ten feet. The twentieth-ranked expert's aura fluctuated, his face alternating between pale and green.
A mouthful of reverse blood surged up. He looked at Ye Xuan with disbelief. "I... surrender!!"
Anyone who could enter the top twenty was not a fool. From that strike, he understood clearly that although his combat power was comparable to a sixth-order Great Emperor, that guy could probably defeat even a sixth-order Great Emperor.
I Li Fu was so excited he wanted to jump up. "Damn, even to this point, our Planet Atlantis has already entered the top twenty. This record has far exceeded his imagination. Having such a general, no, a War King like Ye Xuan is definitely a great fortune for their planet."
