Chapter 304: First appearance on the Earth Ranking! Chen Yan takes action! (Subscribe)

"clown."

Before he finished speaking, Chen Yan let out a low shout, then stomped his feet and started.

"Oh!"

With a sudden stomping of his feet, Chen Yan's body rose up from the ground, and the cold and hard earth exploded violently, with mud and sand splashing as fast as a hidden weapon.

ka ka ka-

Under the influence of extreme force, Chen Yan's muscles and bones made violent friction sounds, each sound like muffled thunder.

So what if I run out of mana?
Chen Yan, whose martial arts cultivation has now reached the perfection of Baodan, is able to compete with the Yin Shen masters who have refined their spirits and returned to the void in terms of physical physique alone.

In addition, there is the blessing of the Supreme Dao Fruit, Vajra Indestructible, although the Vajra Indestructible Dao Fruit is still in an incomplete state.

However, with the improvement of the Nine Revolutions Profound Art over the past six months, Chen Yan could clearly feel that the Vajra Indestructible Fruit was becoming more and more perfect.

Compared with half a year ago, although it was not enough to produce a complete transformation, it had pushed his body to a higher level!

Chen Yan has enough confidence to fight with Jiang Li, who has reached the third level of Yin Shen.

Not to mention that Chen Yan also has the immortal embryo-level Dragon Sparrow Sword on him.

So what about the three refinements of the Yin God?
With so many trump cards, he could defeat even the third-level Yin God in battle!
hold head high!
Roar!
It seemed as if a giant elephant was roaring on the ground and a blue dragon was roaring in the sky, and between heaven and earth, they intersected on Chen Yan's body.

Daoguo Vajra Indestructible is a great transformation for Chen Yan.

Although it is still far from being accomplished or perfect, it can be used as the core to push Chen Yan's physique to the extreme.

Wow!
The vast sky was like the sea, stirred by Chen Yan's outstretched arms. As the pure and terrifying power rose layer by layer, the extremely hot blood also surged up.

Until a brilliant divine light bloomed in his palm.

At first glance, it looks like holding the sun in your hand!

"Boom!"

It was like a thunder explosion in the sky above Laoshan Mountain, attracting the attention of everyone on both sides of the battlefield.

Whether it is the Xiangzhou side or the Guikumen side, everyone on both sides is very clear.

The current battle between Chen Yan and Jiang Li will determine the final outcome of this war.

Whoever wins will win the battle.

In fact, it was not just Xiangzhou and Guikumen. Hundreds of miles away from the battlefield, those forces or people who were paying close attention to Xiangzhou were also paying attention to the battle between Xiangzhou and Guikumen.

Chen Yan's "resurrection" was like a storm that swept across the entire underworld and swept towards the entire three thousand worlds.

The underworld, Xiangzhou, Black Mountain City.

"What did you say?! Chen Yan is still alive?"

The smooth moon-like mirror was rippling with layers of ripples, and an incredible voice came out of the mirror. The sound was so loud that it even vibrated the mirror, which showed how greatly the owner of the voice was emotionally fluctuating.

The owner of this voice was none other than Tong Xiuyuan, the deputy leader of the Tianji Pavilion located in the headquarters of the Tianji Pavilion in the Xuanhuang World!

"Exactly."

In front of the mirror, Guo Tai, the manager of the Tianji Pavilion branch in Heishan City, bowed his head respectfully in response, but there was an unconcealable look of shock on his face.

It was obvious how shocked the Tianji Pavilion manager was to learn that Chen Yan was still alive.

What shocked him the most was that this person who was once number one on the human list was not only still alive, but his cultivation had also broken through and reached the same level as him, that of refining the spirit and returning to the void!
It turns out that the reason why he disappeared from the human list was not because he died, but because he made a breakthrough!
In five years, he went from the initial stage of Qi Refining to Spirit Refining to Return to Void…

Guo Tai was so shocked that he couldn't describe his feelings at the moment in words.

"Is this true?!"

Tong Xiuyuan's voice coming from the mirror was still filled with a strong sense of disbelief.

"A spy on the front line saw it with his own eyes, and relevant footage has been circulated. I have verified it, and it should be conclusive."

Guo Tai still answered respectfully.

After Guo Tai's voice fell, no sound came from the other side of the mirror for a long time.

Obviously, the deputy leader of Tianji Pavilion opposite was digesting this shocking news.

Seeing that Tong Xiuyuan did not respond, Guo Tai hesitated for a moment, and then asked hesitantly:
"Pavilion Master, should we update the list again?"

"No need."

Tong Xiuyuan's answer this time was extremely quick. He was at the Tianji Pavilion headquarters in Xuanhuang World, and shook his head and said:
"Although Chen Yan is still alive, it is also a fact that he is no longer a spirit-refining person. Since he is no longer a spirit-refining person, he is no longer suitable to be on the human list."

"Then... should we put this Mr. Chen on the Earth Ranking?"

Guo Tai asked again.

Compared to the Human List, those ranked on the Earth List are all masters who have reached the stage of refining the spirit and returning to the void, covering all those who have reached the stage of refining the spirit and returning to the void in the Three Thousand Worlds. Although their numbers are far less than those of the Jindan cultivators who have refined qi and transformed into a spirit, the competition is no less fierce than that on the Human List.

Moreover, unlike the Human Ranking which focuses more on potential, the Earth Ranking pays more attention to combat performance, especially killing enemies across borders, which has a great impact.

For example, although Chen Yan had no record of any battles at the time, he was able to surpass Li Shouyi, Zhao Wuji and other top geniuses to top the human list. This was because after Chen Yan obtained the Dao Fruit·Vajra Indestructible, his potential far exceeded that of Li Shouyi, Zhao Wuji and others.

Of course, Chen Yan's fighting power at that time was no worse than that of Li Shouyi, Zhao Wuji and others, so he ranked first on the human list.

But the Earth Ranking is slightly different.

Focusing on potential is one aspect, but more importantly, we focus on combat effectiveness.

Because for cultivators at the level of Refining the Spirit and Returning to the Void, it is very difficult for most Yang God masters who want to break through to the level of Refining the Void and Harmonizing with the Dao, therefore most Yin God cultivators will choose to enrich their fighting methods and improve their combat effectiveness at this point.

Therefore, the stronger a person's combat power is, the richer his combat record will be. Although there may be those hermit masters who rarely show up, every time such people take action, the impact is far greater than that of an ordinary Spirit Refining Return to the Void who takes ten actions.

Those who can ascend the Heavenly Secret Monument and achieve the state of refining their spirits and returning to the void are proven to be the best in the three thousand worlds.

As for who will go first and who will go later, it depends on who has higher combat power and better record.

Mr. Gou asked this question because he also wanted to restore the honor of his Tianji Pavilion.

After all, the last time his Tianji Pavilion updated the human ranking list, it was also a disguised spread of "fake news" that Chen Yan was dead.

Now that Chen Yan is still alive and has broken through to the stage of refining the spirit and returning to the void, his Tianji Pavilion must take corresponding measures to restore its reputation.

Someone may ask.

Chen Yan clearly did not appear on the Heavenly Secret Monument, so how could he be on the Earthly Ranking?

In fact, there is room for Tianji Pavilion to operate here.

The Tianji Tablet is the Tianji Tablet, and the Three Lists of Heaven, Earth and Man are the Three Lists of Heaven, Earth and Man.

Sometimes, the Tianji Pavilion would publish the list strictly according to the ranking of the Tianji Stele.

But sometimes, Tianji Pavilion would change or adjust the rankings of certain people for certain reasons.

Of course, such adjustments are rare.

Sometimes this happens only once in hundreds of years.

Most of the time, the ranking of Tianji Pavilion's lists is still very fair.

Guo Tai also wanted to "adjust" the Earth Ranking slightly and put Chen Yan's name on the Earth Ranking. The ranking didn't need to be very high, but at least it could save some of the honor of his Tianji Pavilion.

On the other side of the mirror, Tong Xiuyuan carefully considered Guo Tai's proposal, thought about it, and finally shook his head and refused:

"It's not appropriate. If this Mr. Chen is listed on the Earth Ranking, it will only add to the controversy."

You should know that the number of places on the Earth List is smaller than that on the Human List, with only seventy-two places.

The one ranked last among them is also a Yin Shen master who has reached the late stage of refining the spirit and returning to the void.

Putting Chen Yan, who had just achieved spiritual enlightenment, on the Earth List at this time would not only fail to recover the losses of his Tianji Pavilion, but would instead cause others to question the fairness of his Tianji Pavilion.

Unless it is approved by the Tianji Monument.

Tong Xiuyuan had just finished speaking when he heard a cry of surprise from a Tianji Pavilion disciple outside the secret room.

"Pavilion Master!"

Tong Xiuyuan frowned slightly, feeling a little tired.

Not sure if it was his illusion, but Tong Xiuyuan felt that during the hundred years he was in charge, he seemed to be busier than the other two deputy leaders of Tianji Pavilion.

The three deputy pavilion masters of Tianji Pavilion take turns to be in charge of the Tianji Pavilion headquarters for a cycle of one hundred years. The other two practice in the Tianji Pavilion's exclusive secret realm.

Tong Xiuyuan has only been in charge for more than ten years now, so it can be said that it has just begun. But even at the beginning, Tong Xiuyuan already misses his "leisurely" secluded time.

With a sigh, Tong Xiuyuan temporarily put aside the message with Guo Tai. He knew that if a disciple came to him at this time, it was most likely that something big had happened again. Otherwise, for ordinary matters, the disciples of Tianji Pavilion would not dare to disturb him, the deputy pavilion master.

Although there have been “slightly” more major events in Tianji Pavilion in the past decade or so.

"What happened?"

Tong Xiuyuan asked in a deep voice.

I only heard the disciple from the Tianji Pavilion answer in a panic and respectful manner:

"My Lord, there are changes to the Heavenly Secret Monument again!"

"Another change?"

When Tong Xiuyuan heard this, his brows furrowed into a frown.

Why does he feel that the changes in the Tianji Monument have been too frequent in recent years?
Then, Tong Xiuyuan suddenly discovered that the changes in the Tianji Monument in recent years seemed to be related to that Lord Chen?

When he thought of this, Tong Xiuyuan suddenly had a bad feeling in his heart.

He looked at the Tianji Pavilion disciple opposite him and said:
"Isn't it that Chen Yan again?"

The Tianji Pavilion disciple was stunned, and looked at Tong Xiuyuan in shock and admiration:
"Master, you know all this?!"

"So, this Chen Yan is on the Earth Ranking?"

Tong Xiuyuan suddenly became expressionless.

"Exactly."

"Which number?"

"seventy two."
-
Let’s talk about the Laoshan battlefield in the underworld.

With Chen Yan's heavy stomping, the ground within a radius of ten feet cracked and sank, and Chen Yan rushed towards Jiang Li like a cannonball with fierce momentum.

Seeing Chen Yan rushing up like a reckless man, Jiang Li frowned.

In the Endless Sea small world, there are very few physical cultivators like Chen Yan who would rush into close combat without thinking. In most cases, they fight at a distance.

But this does not mean that Jiang Li will be afraid of Chen Yan.

A cold light flashed in his eyes as cold as a poisonous snake. Jiang Li snorted coldly, and as his magic power circulated, the ghost energy around him boiled and permeated.

As he raised his hand, a large amount of powerful dark ghost energy gathered and in the blink of an eye condensed into a black palm with a diameter of more than three meters.

Then, his five fingers spread out, and the dark palm formed by the ghost energy also spread out, and then, it tore through the air and slapped Chen Yan.

Rumble!
Fist raised, palm reached.

Without any surprise, the two of them had their first confrontation without hesitation.

boom!
It seemed as if a force twelve gale was passing through. Outside the Laoshan battlefield, towering trees were uprooted and shattered by the ripples of the collision between the two men.

The swift gale blew straight for a hundred feet, causing everyone within a thousand feet radius with the two of them as the center to retreat one after another, and they were almost unable to open their eyes due to the gust of wind.

boom!
The sound waves were like thunder, exploding in the sky.

The collision of pure power and terrifying ghost energy was more intense and short-lived than anyone could have imagined.

As the blazing energy waves spread, the collision of the fists and palms seemed to be evenly matched.

But before Jiang Li could respond, Chen Yan pulled back, his spine shaking like a dragon ascending to the sky, his body as fast as a startled wild goose, soaring ten feet into the air.

Chi chi chi——

What could not be suppressed even by the long roar was the tearing sound of the red-gold palm passing through the air, like a falling meteor or a rainbow piercing the sun.

Then.

Retreat violently, stop, close the fists, and fall again!

boom!
It expanded violently again, and this time, it was no longer evenly divided.

The first one to be defeated was Jiang Li, who had reached the third level of Yin Shen Refinement.

"Oh!"

But there was a loud bang, and the fists and palms collided violently. Compared with the three-meter-long ghost palm, Chen Yan was as small as an ant.

But the fist and palm only held stalemate for less than a second, and the giant palm formed by the ghost energy shattered and broke into pieces under the shocking force of Chen Yan.

Seeing this scene, Jiang Li, who had been feeling superior and confident of victory, suddenly had his pupils shrink violently.

But it was only this one time. Until now, Jiang Li still didn't think that Chen Yan, who had just entered the stage of refining the spirit and returning to the void, would pose a threat to him.

Not to mention, from beginning to end, Chen Yan never revealed his Taoist magic, but fought him with his physical body.

Can you defeat him with just your physical body?
Jiang Li sneered in his heart.

"I admit that I underestimated you, but everything ends here."

A cold gaze swept over Chen Yan's body. Jiang Li looked indifferent. A flash of black light appeared in Jiang Li's palm.

A cold air swept through, as if the air around it had dropped three degrees. As the dark ghostly aura rose, it seemed as if thousands of ghosts were wailing and screaming.

The black light that suddenly appeared in Jiang Li's palm was none other than the Guiku Sect's treasure, the top-grade Taoist weapon [Yinsha Ghost Head Knife]!
Holding the top-grade Taoist weapon Yinsha Ghost Head Knife, Jiang Li, who had reached the third level of Yin Shen Refinement, even had the confidence to fight against a man who had reached the fourth level of Yin Shen Refinement and was in the middle stage of Return to Void.

How could a country boy who had just entered the stage of refining the spirit and returning to the void, and had only refined his Yin spirit, be a match for Jiang Li?
He glanced at Chen Yan with cold eyes, and then his magic power gathered towards the Yinsha Ghost Head Knife like a pillar.

With the infusion of a large amount of magic power, the icy ghost energy emanating from the blade of the Yinsha Ghost Head Sword seemed to become three times colder. The rich ghost energy almost turned into substance, as if it had turned into a group of evil ghosts with green faces and fangs. The sharp ghost howls made everyone present feel dizzy when they heard them.
