Brother Who Determines the Fate of the Nation: My Great Emperor's Cultivation Level Exposed by

A grand and ruthless voice announced the extremely cruel rules of this groundbreaking new list.

"This extraordinary ranking only includes those who have truly transcended the boundaries of mortals; those who do not meet the criteria are not even qualified to be included on the list!"

As soon as the words were spoken, the golden scroll on the sky began to emit a dazzling light from the very bottom.

The tenth place will be announced soon.

[Ranked 10th on the Extraordinary List: Ivan from the Russian Bear Country!]

The scene depicts the endless ice fields of Siberia. Ivan is shirtless, and in the center of his chest, a miniature nuclear reactor emits an ominous red light, staining the surrounding snow and ice with a blood-red hue.

He slowly raised his fist, facing a massive iceberg as large as a mountain range.

There were no extra movements, just a simple, unremarkable punch.

boom!

Where the fist struck, the air produced a muffled explosion, and a shockwave visible to the naked eye spread outwards.

The massive iceberg that had stood for thousands of years cracked from its center the moment it came into contact with the force of the punch.

Finally, with a deafening roar, it exploded completely into countless ice shards.

After a few seconds of silence, cheers erupted in the Russian livestream room, like a landslide and a tsunami.

"Hurrah! Ivan! Our Iron Warrior!"

"This is true power! Shattering a mountain with a single punch—that's extraordinary!"

In the forbidden area, Anna, the Russian athlete, saw this scene, straightened her already strong back, and her face was full of fervent pride.

The list continues to scroll upwards.

[Ninth on the Extraordinary Ranking: William of the United States!]

The scene shifts to the center of the ancient Stonehenge, where William, clad in armor with sacred runes, raises his knight's sword.

A beam of pure white holy light burst forth from the tip of the sword, slashing fiercely down towards a deep canyon ahead.

Silently, the holy light slashed and pierced the earth.

The next second, the entire earth trembled violently.

A brand-new rift valley, stretching for a kilometer and seemingly bottomless, appeared beside the original canyon.

With a single sword stroke, the earth was cleaved in two.

Inside the secret council chamber of the British Empire's royal family, the elderly queen stood up excitedly.

In the forbidden area, Princess Victoria proudly raised her chin.

She glanced at Su Ruoruo, who was surrounded by crocodiles not far away, and her sense of superiority was almost overflowing.

[Ranked 8th on the Extraordinary List: Miyamoto Hanzo from the Land of Cherry Blossoms!]

At the summit of Mount Fuji, Miyamoto Hanzo remained in the same somber posture.

He slowly drew his sword and gently swung it at a patch of falling snow a hundred meters away.

The camera gave a close-up of the snowflake.

It was still drifting down in the air, its posture unchanged.

But just as it was about to hit the ground, it silently split in two from the very middle.

A hundred meters away, the falling snow was cut down.

This extreme control over power sends chills down the spines of countless sword masters.

Yukina, who had just been resurrected and was still grieving the loss of her leg, witnessed this scene.

A sinister and fanatical smile appeared on her face as she looked in Su Ruoruo's direction, her eyes filled with the pleasure of revenge.

The names on the list appeared one after another, each representing a terrifying force that defied the limits of human cognition.

Finally, the scroll reached the very top.

[Second Place on the Extraordinary Ranking: Arthur from the Land of the Beautiful!]

The moment this name appeared, the entire United States was in an uproar.

In the scene, Arthur, who has been injected with sixteen vials of mutated superhuman serum, is over two meters tall and has bulging muscles all over his body.

In front of him stood a 60-ton M1A2 main battle tank.

Arthur let out a roar and actually stretched out his hands and grabbed the tank's turret.

"Open it... for me!"

Barehanded, tearing apart a main battle tank!

"USA! USA!"

"Arthur is invincible! This is the true strength of the world's number one power!"

In the studio of America's largest news network, the host waved his arms excitedly, exuding an arrogant and overbearing air.

As soon as the second place was announced, the air in the whole world seemed to freeze.

The eyes of seven billion people around the world are fixed on the very top of the celestial scroll.

That position, suspended in mid-air and still a blur, is the first place.

Who is it?

Who could be stronger than Arthur, who could tear apart a tank with his bare hands?

Inside the Dragon Kingdom's live broadcast room, 1.4 billion people held their breath, clasped their hands together, and silently chanted the same name with all their might.

"It has to be God Su! It has to be God Su!"

"A three-peat! Please, we must achieve an unprecedented three-peat!"

"Ruoruo is still waiting for you to save her, God Su!"

They dared not imagine what would happen if Su Xuan wasn't at the top of the list.

Surrounded by hundreds of D-level crocodiles and a peak D-level crocodile king, what a tragic end awaits Su Ruoruo.

Meanwhile, on major think tanks and online platforms in the Western world, so-called experts and analysts have already begun their performance.

"Dear viewers, we must be rational. It is impossible for Su Xuan of the Dragon Kingdom to reach the top of the Extraordinary Ranking."

"According to the video recordings played twice before the forbidden area's sky screen, we can clearly see that in that so-called world of cultivation, it took Su Xuan about seven years to go from a mortal servant to having the power to smash through a mountain gate."

The studio was silent; everyone was captivated by his professional analysis.

"According to the intelligence we have, Su Xuan died in a car accident in the real world of Blue Star three years ago."

The expert held up three fingers and waved them in front of the camera.

"This leads to a very interesting conclusion, a paradox of time logic."

He turned around and pointed with a laser pointer at a timeline on the screen behind him.

"We have reason to infer that there is an astonishing ratio between the flow of time in the cultivation world and on our planet. According to our top physicists and data models, this ratio is approximately ten to one."

"In other words, one year on our Blue Star is equivalent to ten years in the cultivation world where Su Xuan resides."

Therefore, there is only one truth.

The expert adjusted his gold-rimmed glasses and, in a pronouncemental tone, delivered his final conclusion.

"Su Xuan only cultivated for about thirty years in that world, at most."

Thirty years.

This figure caused a global uproar.

The most famous scholar of cultivation culture in Japan immediately burst out laughing in his live stream.

"Thirty years? What a joke! In the vast world of cultivation, what is thirty years?"

"In the ancient myths and legends of our Sakura Kingdom, those powerful beings would often go into seclusion for hundreds or thousands of years. Even thirty years would probably not be enough to reach the most basic Foundation Establishment stage."

"I dare say that Su Xuan's talent has been completely exhausted on the Mortal Realm Ranking. This time, he won't even have the qualification to enter the Extraordinary Ranking."

These seemingly rigorous and logically flawless analyses instantly swept the globe via the internet.

Countless foreign netizens have been completely brainwashed.

"So that's how it is. The people of the Dragon Kingdom are still dreaming of a three-peat."

"Thirty years? My god, Lord Arthur only barely reached the transcendent level after injecting sixteen vials of serum. What makes this kid who's only cultivated for thirty years think he can?"

"Waiting for the Dragon Kingdom's national fate to punish us. What magnitude earthquake will it be this time? I guess it'll be a magnitude 10."

"Su Xuan has fallen from grace; this is the norm in the world. The Dragon Kingdom's good fortune has run out."

Mocking, ridiculing, and gloating comments flooded the internet.

Inside the Pentagon's command center in the United States, the generals had already opened champagne.

Prepare to celebrate the upcoming national punishment of the Dragon Kingdom.

The atmosphere in the Dragon Kingdom's live broadcast room was extremely tense.

Despite the immense anxiety of 1.4 billion people, they could find no compelling rebuttal to the time paradox presented by foreign experts.

"Impossible! Have you all forgotten how Su Shen shattered the sect's protective formation with a single punch? Isn't that extraordinary?"

"But thirty years is really too short. In cultivation novels, which protagonist hasn't cultivated for hundreds or thousands of years?"

"What should I do? I'm so panicked. If Su Shen really doesn't make the list, Ruoruo is doomed."

"Please, please make it onto the list! It has to be number one!"

Despair and prayer intertwined in the barrage of comments, gripping the hearts of every Chinese person.

Just when global opinion was convinced that Su Xuan had fallen from grace, and when countless people were waiting to see China make a fool of itself.

Alice and the others were gloating, waiting for the moment when Su Ruoruo would be torn to pieces.

An unexpected change occurred.

boom.

Without warning, the golden sky above the entire forbidden area suddenly erupted with an extremely dazzling purple-gold divine light.

The light was no longer the sacred and grand one it once was, but rather carried an unparalleled majesty that looked down upon all ages and regarded all living beings as ants.

When its power is exerted, all things submit.

On the lakeside, the once invincible peak D-rank crocodile king's single, ferocious eye was instantly filled with endless fear.

Its massive body crashed heavily into the water, unable to even struggle, and let out a low howl of extreme fear towards the sky.

The hundreds of black-armored crocodiles that were preparing to attack were all pressed to the ground the instant this oppressive force descended.

Deep in the jungle, the smiles on the faces of Alice, Victoria, Scheres and the others froze instantly.

They felt an unparalleled force descend from the sky, their legs went weak, and they uncontrollably knelt down, prostrating themselves on the ground, unable to even lift their heads.

At the same time, on Earth, there are seven billion people worldwide.

No matter where you are, no matter what you are doing!

At this moment, everyone felt a chill that came from the depths of their souls.

Followed by.

That grand, cold, emotionless announcement of the forbidden zone once again resounded throughout the world.

"Ranked first on the Extraordinary List."

"The Chosen One of the Dragon Kingdom is bound to his older brother—Su Xuan."

[Hereby announcing his extraordinary realm—Five Elements Foundation Establishment Dao Embryo, Supreme Five Elements Golden Core!]

boom!

Inside the Dragon Kingdom live stream room!

The barrage of comments, which had fallen into a brief silence because of the name Su Xuan, erupted at this moment.

The servers of the official Dragon Kingdom live streaming platform experienced a sudden lag.

Even so, on the land of China!

Every corner, every family, and every square erupted in thunderous cheers.

"A three-peat! An unprecedented three-peat! Suarez, forever a god!"

"We won! We won again! Su Shen didn't abandon us!"

"Waaaaah, I cried! What about you guys?! You scared me to death! I really thought we were going to lose this time!"

Countless people embraced and wept, and countless people raised their arms and shouted!

The despair and frustration that had been building up in his heart transformed into tears of ecstatic joy, echoing throughout the night sky of the entire Dragon Kingdom.

Forbidden area, by the lake.

She stared blankly at the enormous crocodile king before her, which lay prostrate in the mud in a humiliating posture, not even daring to move.

The hundreds of black-armored crocodiles around them were locked up.

Her desperate situation crumbled instantly after her brother's name was mentioned.

Her tears fell!

Brother! He! He's still working hard for himself!

Su Ruoruo raised her head, looked at the purple-gold sky, and with all her might, choked out a cry.

"Bro...you're fucking awesome!"

In the darkness deep within the jungle.

Alice, Victoria, and Xue Nai were forced to kneel on the ground by the terrifying divine power, their bodies trembling uncontrollably.

The gloating and vicious curses on their faces had vanished, replaced by extreme terror after their values ​​had collapsed!

"No, impossible... This is absolutely impossible!" Alice screamed.

"What right does someone who's been dead for three years have to do this?!"

Victoria's noble demeanor shattered completely; she collapsed to the ground, too weak to even maintain her kneeling position.

Yukina's reaction was the most intense!

She stared intently in Su Ruoruo's direction, her venomous eyes now filled only with jealousy and madness.

On what grounds?

Why does this girl from China have such a brother?

Why is it that even though my brother is so powerful, she's still suppressed by her brother!

She was so jealous she ground her teeth to powder!

At the same time, on Blue Star, in the beautiful country.

The atmosphere inside the Pentagon's highest command center was extremely cheerful.

Everyone raised their glasses, ready to celebrate Arthur's rise to second place and the impending national punishment for the Dragon Kingdom.

Sure enough! You really can't open champagne halfway through the game!

"What?!"

"Five Elements Foundation Building... Golden Core?"

When the announcement for the restricted area sounded, a general who was about to pour champagne into his glass suddenly froze.

His cup! It fell straight to the ground, shards scattered everywhere.

The entire command center was deathly silent.

All the generals froze on the spot, their smiles turning into comical masks.

Inside the studio, the expert who had just been spouting nonsense about time paradoxes and asserting that Su Xuan had already fallen from grace was now slumped in his chair, sweating profusely, his mouth agape, unable to utter a single word.

He became a laughing stock on the internet, and his lifelong reputation was ruined!

The Prime Minister's Residence in the Land of Cherry Blossoms.

The British Empire, Royal Parliament Hall.

All senior officials remained silent!

The so-called extraordinary abilities they created by using genetic technology, mechanical modification, and ancient traditions, despite the immense resources and sacrifices of the entire nation, appear utterly pale and laughable in the face of Su Xuan's simple words.

In stark contrast is the Dragon Kingdom's Supreme Command.

"Good! Good! Good!"

Several white-haired old generals slammed their fists on the table in excitement, their fierce eyes filled with tears of emotion.

"Immediately issue my order: the entire country is placed on the highest level of alert!"

"Prepare for the most generous national reward in history!"

The order was quickly relayed.

In the global online world, a long-suppressed counterattack has officially begun.

Countless Chinese netizens, who had been suppressed for half a day, transformed into the bravest warriors and stormed into every foreign live stream and forum.

"Thirty years is only enough to lay the foundation? Come out here! Where's that expert? Keep analyzing!"

"Hahahaha, that's hilarious! Open your dog eyes and see! Our God Su's Foundation Establishment stage is the strict father of your beautiful country's chosen one brother!!!"

"That's too narrow-minded! Su Xuan is the eternal, eternal, fucking, strict father to all the chosen ones in the world!"

"You're still analyzing the flow of time? Is the immortality we cultivate, Su Shenxiu, the same thing as the novels you read? You dare to challenge us?"

"A top-grade Five Elements Golden Elixir! Just listen to that name, then look at your family's tank-tearing pill—the difference is obvious!"

"If you don't understand, just ask: Is the Golden Core more powerful than a nuclear-powered heart?"

Taunts, counterattacks! A deluge!

Those foreign trolls who were just swaggering were now speechless, and could only watch helplessly as Chinese netizens slapped them in the face.

Enraged, foreign netizens are unwilling and will never accept this reality.

On international public channels!

skeptical comments began flooding social media.

"Cheating! This is absolutely cheating!"

"How can someone who's been dead for three years be stronger than Lord Arthur, who received sixteen doses of the latest serum?!"

The US representative stationed in the restricted area!

A white man with slicked-back hair and an arrogant expression even shouted angrily at the empty command center screen.

"On behalf of the United States, I lodge a strong protest against the impartiality of this list! The time paradox is right there in front of us—thirty years! How could he possibly condense a golden core? This is illogical and violates the law of conservation of energy!"

The expert on cultivation culture from Japan has completely dropped his scholarly facade and is stubbornly denying everything in the live stream.

"There must be a bug in the forbidden area system's data. Yes, it's a bug!"

He waved his arms excitedly, spitting as he spoke.

"We strongly demand that the Forbidden Zone immediately strip Su Xuan of the Dragon Kingdom of his top ranking and re-rank the list!"

For a time, chaos ensued.

Countless nations unwilling to be trampled underfoot by the Dragon Kingdom once again jumped out to echo this sentiment, demanding a reasonable explanation from the Forbidden Land.

Just as the global public opinion was arguing fiercely and the debate was escalating.

boom.

A deep rumble suddenly came from the purple-gold sky above the forbidden area.

The voice, like a thunderclap from the heavens, pierced through the network signal and resonated deep within the souls of every doubter.

"what!"

The American representative covered his ears and screamed in agony, bleeding from all seven orifices!

The expert from Japan rolled his eyes and fainted on the spot in the live broadcast room.

At this moment, all the keyboard warriors around the world who were frantically shouting and accusing others of cheating on the internet felt like they were being attacked from a forbidden zone!

This is a warning from the gods, a warning to all ants who blaspheme their majesty.

The whole world fell silent instantly.

Then, in that deathly silence!

The golden scroll on the sky slowly unfurled amidst the watchful eyes of the crowd.

A new line of divine script appeared.

[Playing a video showcasing Su Xuan's exclusive memories of reaching the Transcendent Realm, the chosen one of the Dragon Kingdom.]

The screen lights up.

However, the scene begins with a mountain of corpses and a sea of ​​blood.

The camera pans down from the sky, revealing that a once magnificent and grand cultivation sect has now been reduced to scorched earth burning with ominous black flames.

Broken ritual implements, collapsed palaces, and severed limbs scattered throughout the mountain gate create a hellish scene.

The pungent, almost overwhelming stench of blood seemed to penetrate the screen and directly fill the nasal cavities of seven billion people worldwide.

Countless viewers watching the live stream immediately bent over and vomited.

Audiences around the world gasped at the same time.

"This must be the Xuan Sha Sect from the last video! Holy crap! Su Xuan slaughtered an entire sect!"

"This! They really didn't leave a single one alive!"

Just then, the camera slowly zoomed in.

Amidst a scene of carnage and ruins.

A lone figure was walking slowly along a desolate and ancient road.

He was covered in blood, his long black hair soaked in it.

He was like an unparalleled Asura who had just crawled out of the deepest hell, exuding a terrifying killing intent that kept the living at bay.

This person! It is none other than Su Xuan!

He staggered, each step extremely difficult, clearly on the verge of exhaustion.

Yet his deep eyes still gleamed with a cold, ruthless light, without the slightest wavering.

He walked and walked.

The ancient road stretches on and on, seemingly without end.

There was a deathly silence all around, with only the echoing sound of his heavy footsteps.

Finally, after leaving that mountain of corpses and sea of ​​blood, and embarking on an ancient road for an unknown distance.

Due to the severity of his injuries and the extreme depletion of his spiritual energy.

Su Xuan's body swayed suddenly, and everything went black without warning.

He could no longer hold on and fell straight forward.

boom.

He crashed heavily into the dusty center of the ancient road!

The moment Su Xuan collapsed, the chat in the entire Dragon Kingdom live stream froze.

What followed was an overwhelming outcry and concern.

"Holy crap, no! Su Shen, wake up!"

"We're doomed! This place is in the middle of nowhere, and Su Shen is so badly injured. If some ferocious beast or evil cultivator comes along, he'll be dead in no time!"

"Isn't killing and robbing treasures commonplace in the cultivation world? I can't even imagine it!"

Chinese netizens, well-versed in the tropes of various online novels, felt their hearts leap into their throats.

They could almost picture Su Xuan being discovered by some powerful villain who happened to be passing by, then cruelly having his soul searched and treasures stolen, ultimately suffering a miserable end where his bones were crushed and his ashes scattered.

A sense of despair began to spread again.

Just then, at the end of that desolate ancient road in the scene, smoke and dust billowed.

A massive convoy was slowly approaching.

The chariot was not pulled by ordinary horses, but by ferocious beasts covered in scales and with a single horn on each head.

The sheer ferocity emanating from it was enough to terrify ordinary people.

On both sides of the convoy, there were hundreds of fierce-looking cultivators with menacing faces.

The swords at their waists were stained with dried blood, clearly indicating that they were ruthless characters who had lived a life of violence.

A huge flag fluttered in the wind in the center of the convoy, with the two large characters "Tianlei Ye Family" embroidered on it in a flamboyant style.

The convoy slowly came to a stop where Su Xuan had fallen.

"Boss, there's someone lying on the road ahead, I don't know if he's dead or alive," a guard reported.

A one-eyed, burly man leading the convoy rode forward, glanced down at them, and then waved his hand impatiently.

"Send two people to check. If it's still breathing, give it another stab. If it's dead, dump it by the roadside. Don't delay our journey."

"yes!"

Two burly guards jumped off their mounts and strode over.

One of them nudged Su Xuan with his toe and found that he didn't react at all.

So he squatted down and put his finger to his nose to check for breath.

"Boss, he's still breathing! But he looks badly injured and might not make it."

He and his companion exchanged a glance, both seeing undisguised greed in each other's eyes.

In the wilderness, killing and robbing are considered perfectly justifiable.

One of them grinned maliciously and slowly drew the long sword from his waist.

The cold blade was raised high, aimed at Su Xuan's back.

"Ah! No!"

"I can't watch anymore!"

In the Dragon Kingdom's live broadcast room, countless viewers subconsciously closed their eyes.
