Chapter 79

Chapter 079: His Name is Lu Ye!

“Still rising?”

The heavens also caught sight of that name being pushed down by the light.

Although it was just for an instant, it was definitely seen.

Goodness, Great Sage of the Nine Heavens, Demon Sage, Compassionless Sage, Monster Sage…

One by one, these saints were ruthlessly replaced.

Just how strong is this newly risen Tianjiao?

Sixth place, Xiang Changsheng!

Saint of Eternal Life!

This is a powerful figure who has cultivated the Dao to an unparalleled level, ultimately attempting to live as long as the heavens and earth, but unfortunately…

Where in the world is there eternity?

Even the universe has its day to turn into fleeting firework.

Still climbing!

Fifth place, Brother Red Dust!

From here on, we’re dealing with extremely ancient existences, it’s hard to imagine how these old-timers managed to stay ahead in the increasingly competitive cultivation world.

And this name… no matter how you look at it, it doesn’t seem like a personal name, more like a title.

Hmm… how should I put it, having someone else’s name written on the Eternal Genius Ranking is quite a bold move.

Fourth place, Ni Luan!

This individual is truly the top of the line in Ni Luan, the Era of Blood Tears.

With the Great Sage of Ni Luan making an appearance, Yin-Yang was overturned, and the stars reversed.

The entire Nine Heavens, countless individuals saw the ranking above.

Can he break into the top three?

Everyone is eager to find out.

Some hope he can make it in, while others wish for his failure.

Lu Ye is also slightly curious.

Just what is up with those top three?

Suddenly, the light fused into the top three.

However, this time, the names of the top three didn’t show up.

Even Lu Ye didn’t see them.

He guessed that the reason the Eternal Genius Ranking didn’t display the top three was for two possibilities.

First, the top three are prohibited.

Forbidden existences that cannot be spoken of.

Second, the top three are still alive.

Regardless of either possibility, if the Eternal Genius Ranking dares to show them, it might be touching upon causality.

It could be directly destroyed.

Meanwhile, the ranking for Lu Ye seemed to be in hesitation.

It couldn’t decide what ranking he should be in, and witnessing this made Lu Ye chuckle.

“When you’re hesitating, it means I’m already first!”

The three mysterious existences were too risky to provoke for the Eternal Genius Ranking, while Lu Ye’s current strength wasn’t impressive, making it clear it was hesitating over Lu Ye’s rank.

Upon hearing Lu Ye’s words, the Eternal Genius Ranking made a decisive choice.

In an instant, before Lu Ye’s eyes, that burst of light leaped up.

It soared straight into first place!

Top of the list!

The Eternal Genius Ranking actively flew towards Lu Ye, hovering right in front of him.

“Please write down your title!”

This was a choice for Lu Ye.

Should he write down Nine Lives?

Or should he write his own name?

If he writes Nine Lives, only later would people realize who he truly is.

Writing his own name means everyone in the heavens would remember Lu Ye.

The future surely held endless, earth-shattering battles.

After all, the Eternal Genius Ranking was in the First Heaven; the geniuses from the other eight heavens wouldn’t have the chance to leave their names.

The geniuses from other heavens had numerous terrifying talents, some were even born aligned with the Dao.

After all, their parents were all strong.

If Lu Ye wrote down his own name, those people would become his competitors.

But who cares?

Lu Ye used his finger as a pen.

In his previous life, he wasn’t afraid of any strong enemies in the world.

In this life, he was even less so.

No more crawling forward, secretly developing to shock everyone.

In Lu Ye’s eyes, only fierce progress, battling all enemies would make one invincible!

Using his finger as a pen.

The pen danced across the surface.

Two big characters leaped onto the paper.

His name—Lu Ye!

“Boom!”

The entire Genius Ancient Battlefield shook at once.

Celestial light spread, chaos wafted.

The Dao appeared like chains, manifested between heaven and earth.

At this moment, the name Lu Ye clearly appeared on the stone tablet, on the Eternal Genius Ranking, in the eyes of all cultivators across the Nine Heavens and myriad realms.

“What guts!”

In an instant, countless geniuses’ eyes sparkled with intense light.

What a bold move!

To actually inscribe his true name, each stroke, how much courage did that take?

Well done, Lu Ye!

Many cultivators who had lost their competitive spirit gasped.

This is a tough character, a formidable one.

Just this action clearly showed what kind of bloody storm would arise in the future.

“The First Heaven, huh? Come on up, I can’t wait to either kill you or be killed by you!”

“Ahhh, why isn’t it me? Why wasn’t I born in the First Heaven? Eternal Genius Ranking, do you dare to come up?”

“Alright, that’s too arrogant, but I really like it!”

These were the comments of those who didn’t know Lu Ye, showing their interest.

And in the Nine Dragon Valley.

Everyone gazed at the name in first place on the Genius Stone Tablet, almost instantly inhaling a sharp breath.

Lu Ye!

He freaking made it to the top of the Eternal Genius Ranking!

Holy crap!

That’s number one!

A bunch of saints, celestial lords, and emperors were stepped upon by him in the Genius Ranking.

The Nine Dragon Valley fell into prolonged silence.

The Grand Dao Sect people actually wanted to cheer at this moment.

This is Lu Ye, their disciple from the Grand Dao Sect!

Their disciple has become the top of the Eternal Genius Ranking.

Under normal circumstances, they would have already cheered with joy.

But the problem was, just recently, Lu Ye had killed a bunch of disciples from various sects, being seen as a thorn in their side and an unrelenting enemy.

Cheering would be inappropriate!

Not cheering would be hard to contain.

Being first on the Eternal Genius Ranking!

Just thinking about it felt like the utmost honor.

“Should we still surround and kill him?”

The elder of the Mountain River Pagoda Sect asked with a shaky voice.

If it were just twenty or a few people, it wouldn’t hurt to surround him.

But this is first place!

The strong of the Supreme Imperial Court immediately became extra excited.

“Why not surround him? What if he’s number one on the Eternal Genius Ranking? A genius is still a genius, not a strong person!”

“No matter how gifted he is, if we kill him, he’ll be nothing!”

“He was nameless before; we sent one Transcending Tribulation Realm to kill him. Now that he’s number one, we can send ten, fifty Transcending Tribulation Realm cultivators to surround him. I don’t believe we can’t deal with a newly risen genius!”

“If we don’t kill him, will our dead disciples have died in vain? If we don’t kill him today, we’ll just wait for him to come knocking in the future!”

The strong of the Supreme Imperial Court were furious, and the strong of the Yin-Yang Sect were equally agitated.

Other forces may have only lost a part of their disciples, but their entire young generation had been wiped out!

“But the Grand Dao Sect…” The elder of the Mountain River Pagoda Sect expressed concern.

“Grand Dao Sect, you say Lu Ye’s soul stone shattered, so he definitely isn’t one of your people. If we surround Lu Ye, can your Grand Dao Sect take action?”

The elder of the Grand Dao Sect pondered for a moment.

“Take action!”

The answer was very straightforward.

“Who to act against?”

An elder from the Robber Sect asked.

“Whoever kills Lu Ye, that’s who we’ll act against!”

All sects…
