I became a god through frontier slaughter, and I crushed the academy's prodigies!

Human, Xiao Ting!

Below Xiao Ting's name, twenty-two golden stars shone brightly.

Immediately afterwards, the chain of rules on the stone tablet began to flow again.

Another golden light flashed.

"Human, Li Changge!"

Similarly, twenty-two golden stars appeared below Li Changge's name.

This indicates a bone age of 22 years old.

However, Li Changge's name was listed right below Xiao Ting's name.

It was just a tiny, minuscule difference in time.

Or rather, Xiao Ting was one ten-thousandth of a second faster than Li Changge.

The stone tablets are arranged in chronological order.

Xiao Ting was overjoyed when he saw this.

"Ha ha ha ha!"

Xiao Ting's wild and unrestrained laughter echoed in the sky at an altitude of ten thousand meters, even drowning out the thunder.

"Old Li, did you see that!"

"My name is on it! I'm number one!"

Xiao Ting pointed excitedly at the black stone tablet, his magnificent thunder armor trembling with his laughter.

He deliberately turned his head to face the entire audience, as well as the cameras broadcasting globally, and struck an extremely cool pose.

With a swing of the Thunder Halberd, lightning flashed.

"Xiao Ting of Kunlun has taken his leave first!"

"I, Xiao, will gladly accept this first stroke of good fortune from this ancient ruin!"

After saying that, he didn't look back, laughing loudly as he plunged headfirst into the enormous spatial rift that was a thousand meters wide.

The figure was instantly swallowed up by the starlight and the illusory shadows of the vast mountains and rivers deep within the crack.

Only the lingering power of the thunder remained, gradually dissipating across the sky.

next to.

Li Changge stopped in mid-air.

He looked at the two characters "Xiao Ting" on the stone tablet, which were firmly above his own.

The face that had maintained its aloof and dignified demeanor twitched violently twice.

I'm so angry!

So close!

It was so close!

It must have been that when he drew his sword, he was a little slow in reciting the line, "I have a sword that can open the gates of heaven."

This caused my movements to slow down for a split second.

This kid stole the spotlight!

I should have just stopped reading and charged in with my sword!

Although her heart was bleeding, she wished she could drag Xiao Ting out and beat him up.

But Li Changge knew that billions of people around the world were watching.

Your public image can't collapse!

The cliff must not collapse!

Li Changge took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing the frustration in his heart.

He held the lapis lazuli longsword in one hand and slowly sheathed the blade.

Her movements were indescribably elegant and composed.

"snort."

Li Changge slightly raised his chin, revealing a disdainful sneer.

"It's all just empty fame."

"Sword cultivators cultivate their hearts and their invincible sword intent."

"What difference does it make who comes first and who comes after?"

Li Changge flicked his sleeve, his white robes fluttering.

"Among the ruins, it's a matter of who can stand until the end."

"Since Brother Xiao likes these superficial glories, why not give them to him?"

Those words were spoken with such magnanimity.

He regarded fame and fortune as dirt.

The other geniuses of the Dragon Kingdom were stunned by what they heard.

I almost actually believed that the chief of Longjing Taoist Academy was an extraordinary and otherworldly master.

Shen Tian rolled his eyes.

Pack!

Keep pretending!

His face was clearly green with anger, but he was still stubbornly holding on!

After saying these words, Li Changge felt that he had regained a lot of his prestige.

Without further hesitation, he transformed into a streak of azure light and gracefully stepped into the crack.

With these two top talents successfully entering the ruins.

The entire sky was ignited with excitement.

"Charge!"

"In, in, in!"

The prodigies from all sides surged toward the black stone tablet like dumplings being dropped into a pot.

The first to arrive were Ryan and Eve from the Western Sea Federation.

The two left a dazzling afterimage in mid-air and rushed directly to the front of the stone tablet.

hum-

Ripples of rules swept across the scene.

The stone tablet was instantly illuminated by a burst of golden light.

"Human, Lion!"

"Human, Eve!"

Below the name, gold stars representing bone age also appear.

They are 27 and 25 respectively.

Ryan looked at his name, which was listed below Xiao Ting and Li Changge.

A shadow crossed his eyes.

"What's wrong with going in first!"

"True wisdom is found in the ruins!"

He snorted coldly and led Eve and a dozen or so prodigies from the Western Sea Federation into the building.

Followed by.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

A series of deafening airbursts rang out.

Tuoba Lie of the Northern Cold Kingdom literally stepped on the air and rushed to the stone tablet.

His hundred-meter-tall mammoth phantom roared overhead.

The power of the rules swept over his towering body.

"Human, Tuoba Lie!"

Twenty-eight stars shone brightly.

"roar!"

Tuoba Lie roared excitedly, and his massive body leaped forward, crashing directly into the crevice.

Behind him followed a group of equally robust men from the Northern Cold Kingdom.

slam-la-

The waters of the inverted Milky Way surged forth.

Luo Shui, the number one genius of Baichuan Kingdom, arrived gracefully, riding a giant blue dragon.

Her beautiful face was as calm as still water.

The stone tablet shimmered with light.

"Humans, Luoshui!"

Twenty-four golden stars appeared.

The water dragon let out a high-pitched roar, carrying Luo Shui and a group of Canglan Guards, and rushed into the ruins.

The most outstanding geniuses from the four great kingdoms have all entered the arena.

What remains are the second- and third-tier prodigies from various countries.

The crowd was dense, like a swarm of bees returning to their hive, rushing frantically toward the stone tablet.

On the stone tablet, golden light flashed continuously, and names kept appearing.

"Human, Jack!"

"Human, Li Xuangang!"

"Human, Anna!"

Each name is accompanied by anywhere from a few to over twenty stars.

This means they meet the entry requirements.

Once your name is engraved on the stone tablet, it's as if you've obtained a pass.

The body will instantly become ethereal, drawn in by the light from the crack.

however.

Not everyone can successfully obtain this pass.

Even among the exceptional talents who arrive here, some will still be filtered out by the power of the rules of the ruins.

Those who were unable to leave their names on the stone tablet were bounced away by a gentle force.

Those who were excluded were completely bewildered.

I felt indignant.

Why can everyone else get in, but I can't?

But they dared not make any rash moves or force their way in.

Otherwise, Taimu will serve as the best example of what not to do.

In fact, the number of geniuses who come here, though seemingly large, actually represents the entire human race.

Each one is a rare breed in their own country.

With so many outstanding talents gathered together, it's easy to get the illusion that the ruins are easy to enter.

Outside the stone tablet, many people's illusions were shattered.

Many people from Dragon Kingdom, Hundred Rivers Kingdom, Western Sea Federation, and Northern Cold Kingdom were eliminated.

"Everyone, look at the golden dots under those names on the stone tablet!"

"Xiao Ting of the Dragon Kingdom, his name is marked with 22 stars!"

"The Luo River of the Hundred Rivers Kingdom, 24 stars!"

"West Sea Federation Ryan, 27 stars!"

"Tuoba Lie of the Northern Cold Kingdom, 28 stars!"

Immediately, someone pulled out the public information of these top geniuses.

The comparison shocked the entire internet.

"Solved! Those golden specks represent bone age!"

"One star represents one year of age!"

"The star-shaped markings on the stone tablet are a record of their true ages!"

Netizens suddenly realized what was going on.

"No wonder that late-stage ninth-tier ice giant was instantly killed. He'd lived for thousands of years; his bones were practically fossilized. He didn't meet the requirements at all!"

"But that's not right!"

Some foreign netizens have raised questions.

"That swordsman from the Western Sea who was just thrown back, he's twenty-nine years old, under thirty, so why can't he get in?"

After a brief silence.

A comment that instantly garnered over a million likes floated at the top.

"Clearly, the selection criteria for relics are extremely stringent."

"Not only is there a strict age limit, but there are also extremely high minimum requirements for talent and potential!"

"If you don't meet the potential standard recognized by the stone tablet before the age of thirty, you will still be rejected."

"To put it bluntly, those who aren't exceptionally talented aren't qualified to go in as cannon fodder!"

I've figured that out.

Audiences around the world couldn't help but gasp in surprise.

Even seventh-level martial artists under the age of thirty are not qualified to enter.

The appetite of these ancient ruins is simply terrifying.

This also indirectly proves just how extraordinary those people were who could have their names engraved on stone tablets.

Just as the entire internet was shocked by the stringent rules of the stone tablet.

All eyes were on them, as well as dozens of high-definition live-streaming drones in mid-air.

They all turned around in unison.

All the cameras were pointed at the Qingyan Floating Island of the Dragon Kingdom not far away.

On the vast floating island.

It felt somewhat empty at this moment.

Most of the Dragon Kingdom's prodigies have successfully entered the ruins, but a small number have been eliminated.

And at the forefront of these lost warriors of the Dragon Kingdom.

Standing there was a handsome young man wearing a black hooded tracksuit.

Shen Tian.
