Chapter 161 Two Ranks Promoted

Supreme Ranking Rewards? What kind of rewards could this entail? If the first-place talent reaches max8, it's likely to dominate the rankings for years. However, Ye Yun was unsure how two individuals with max8 talent would be ranked against each other. Was it based on level? Or profession? The Dà Fēng Novel website

Talent Ranking Rewards -

First Place - 100 billion Gold Coins, Saint Origin Pills * 10, Godhead Shards * 10.

Second Place - 90 billion Gold Coins, Saint Origin Pills * 9, Godhead Shards * 9.

...

Tenth Place - 10 billion Gold Coins, Saint Origin Pills * 1, Godhead Shards * 1.

Eleventh to Twentieth Place - 10 billion Gold Coins, Saint Origin Pills * 1.

Saint Origin Pills? Godhead Shards? What on earth were these? Ye Yun frowned at the list of rewards. They all had max7 talent, so why were they ranked third? And he was only tenth?

Unfortunately, his 'Golden Touch' skill had a cooldown of 11763 hours! An eternity away.

The rankings of the Ten Directions Universe would surely offer substantial rewards, but alas, he was currently far from being first.

Unbeknownst to Ye Yun, countless players across numerous worlds, both real and within 'Heavenly Dao', who had surpassed level 75, were fixated on the changes in this ranking.

"The Tenth Direction World? Race: Human? And ranked nineteenth thousand nine hundred ninety-ninth out of a staggering two hundred thousand professions? The most unbelievable part is, why is this guy on the list at only level 25?"

Countless alien players stared at the tenth position on the leaderboard, utterly bewildered, a myriad of questions sprouting in their minds.

"Investigate! Find this human in the real world! Anyone who dares to usurp the position of our Mo Luo young lord shall be slain!" In a barren starfield separated from Earth by countless dimensions, a colossal figure stood silently in the infinite void. Behind him loomed an ancient, desolate palace, and before him stretched a panorama of stars, ten thousand stars and three thousand realms!

"Human? We've searched for a million years, and they've been hiding in the Tenth Direction World? Now that such talent has emerged, who knows what kind of ripples it will cause." Across the vast expanse of the universe, a tiny planet suddenly radiated golden light; it was the eye of a living being.

In the central mountain range of Mount Wanshou, a vine, over three meters thick, tightly ensnared a tiger beast ten feet in size. Suddenly, meter-long thorns sprouted from the vine, piercing the tiger beast's body and tearing it into three pieces.

Thereafter, the colossal tree gradually shrank, transforming into a human covered in bark.

"At level 78, I barely managed to upgrade my talent to max7, and at level 85, I finally reached max8. I expended countless resources for this, consumed one-third of the assets of the three thousand realms in my First Direction Universe, and even incurred numerous debts to the big shots of the Second and Third Direction Universes. How can this human from the Tenth Direction World do it?"

His eyes blazed with anger. One had to understand that the higher the talent, the lower the level it was achieved at, meaning the more terrifying the attribute gains would be upon leveling up!

Unfortunately, he was already within Mount Wanshou and could not return to the New Mortal Continent. Otherwise, he would have certainly visited this human named Jie Ming on the New Mortal Continent for a good confrontation!

Meanwhile, in Aridwood City on the New Mortal Continent, Lu Jie stared at the Universe Talent Ranking list, lost in thought. Hesitation flickered in his eyes, but it was overshadowed by shock.

He had expected Ye Yun's talent to be higher than his own, but he hadn't anticipated it to be so much higher.

"Lu Jie, if I recall correctly, you're from the Tenth Direction World, aren't you? How about it? Interested in cooperating with my Fifth Direction's Bodar family? Perhaps we could share our respective star domain maps?"

While Lu Jie was still reeling, Bovore suddenly appeared before him, smiling amicably.

"Don't worry, once we share the star domain maps, we can offer you a hundred spirit stones. What do you say?"

Seeing Lu Jie's prolonged silence, Bovore couldn't help but present his offer.

"I'm sorry, I'm just a nobody among the myriad races. Let alone star domain maps, it took me great effort to even map out my own planet."

Bovore's words seemed to solidify Lu Jie's resolve, and he directly refused.

He could see with his own eyes that these individuals, upon witnessing Ye Yun's talent and level, would either try to recruit him or eliminate him. As someone from the Tenth Direction World, shouldn't he be happy for his world to have a strong individual?

"Oh, is that so? Then it's nothing. By the way, we plan to join the Cloud Heaven Palace after the next cycle, the one founded by your brother Jie Ming. We might abandon this place then. If you're scared, you should wait until you're stronger." Bovore patted Lu Jie's shoulder with a smile and turned to leave.

"Do they think I'm an idiot?" Lu Jie muttered as he watched Bovore depart.

He hadn't expected Ye Yun to establish himself so quickly on the New Mortal Continent, and to have these five influential figures seeking to join him, his strength must be considerable.

Lu Jie picked up his broom and began sweeping, contemplating how he could discreetly join Cloud Heaven Palace for free, preferably with a salary. This thought became even more pressing after learning about Ye Yun's talent.

As for sharing star domain maps, no one would be foolish enough to reveal their star domains, especially to higher-level star domains, lest their own become a colony in a few years.

The law of the jungle applied everywhere.

...

The entire New Mortal Continent was in an uproar, with countless messages flying everywhere.

Meanwhile, Ye Yun was blissfully unaware, excitedly admiring his Talent Ranking. He occasionally unleashed some area-of-effect skills.

The number of Cloud Swallowing Ants around him not only didn't decrease but actually increased, forming a dense mass of over twenty thousand red dots. More were still converging from the Cloud Forest Plateau.

"Sticking my hand into an anthill feels awesome!"

"System prompt: Congratulations to the player for killing the level one Flood Beast 'Venom Hunter Ant', obtaining 60 billion experience points, spirit stones * 1, comprehension pill * 1, Myriad Form Stone * 1."

...

Ye Yun's Sky Fire Rain and Rocket Sky Net skills, combined with the ten-second lingering Demonic Flame, made it impossible for the Cloud Swallowing Ants to get close. Ye Yun simply sat there. For over ten minutes, he didn't even shift his posture.

"System prompt: Congratulations to the player for leveling up, current level 26, awarded 30.72 billion free attribute points!"

An hour later...

"System prompt: Congratulations to the player for leveling up, current level 27, awarded 30.72 billion free attribute points!"

After an unknown duration of killing, Ye Yun's level and race increased again. His rank on the level leaderboard surged into the top three million globally! The current number one player was already level 29!

A gap of two levels, from 27 to 29, resulted in a ten-million-rank difference! The competition was terrifyingly fierce!
