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

The image on the sky froze.

Su Xuan, dressed in a grey robe, stood with his hands behind his back. The path cleared by the three thousand disciples stretched deep into the mountain peak. Five-colored light flickered on his body, and the cheers from the entire Alchemy Peak were frozen at their loudest moment.

Then, the screen shattered.

Like a shattered mirror, the light in the sky crumbled into countless specks of light that scattered and eventually returned to pure darkness.

Central Plaza of the Forbidden Area.

Su Ruo tilted her head back, her fingers still clutching the hem of her clothes, her lips slightly parted, and tears welling up in her eyes.

The video has ended.

It stopped at the most exciting part.

What happened after Brother killed the Nascent Soul cultivator? What happened to the Nascent Soul Ancestor of the Divine Sword Sect? What became of the Vajra Sect in the end?

She wanted to know, she desperately wanted to know.

The comments on the screen were even crazier than hers.

"No, just stop here?"

"Where's the Nascent Soul Ancestor?! What happened to the Nascent Soul battle?! Finish it already!"

"I was just getting to the climax and you cut me off?! Are you even human?!"

"How did Su Shen fight later on? I'm so anxious!"

The chosen ones' regions in various countries were also in an uproar.

Golden Core Severing Nascent Soul.

The four great divine powers were used simultaneously.

The five-colored millstone crushed the hundred-foot-long Dharma image.

For the first time, she felt that the knowledge and experience her brother was so proud of might not even amount to anything in front of Su Xuan.

Victoria had previously felt that the girl didn't deserve to stand there.

Now she's unsure.

Yukina leaned against a pillar in the Sakura Country area, arms crossed, half her face hidden in the shadows.

Her expression was unclear, but the knuckles of her right hand, which was gripping the kunai, were completely white.

Anna reacted the most directly of all.

She jumped up from her seat, her short blonde hair flying across her face, and rushed to Su Ruoruo's side, grabbing her arm in three quick steps.

"Wow! Your brother is too powerful! A Golden Core cultivator killing a Nascent Soul cultivator! That city lord ended up begging for mercy like a dog!"

Su Ruoruo stumbled slightly from being pulled, but didn't say anything. She smiled and blinked back the tears welling up in her eyes.

Her brother's words were still echoing in her mind.

You shouldn't have messed with the people of my Vajra Sect.

Her heart was pounding, and her nose was stinging.

Just as everyone was still enjoying themselves and the barrage of comments was causing the server to lag, the sky over the entire forbidden area lit up.

It wasn't the kind of brightness you see in videos; it was a cold, mechanical, emotionless white light that emanated from the black sphere at the very center of the dome, illuminating every corner.

hum.

A sound rang out.

It didn't come from a certain direction; it exploded directly in everyone's mind, simultaneously spreading to every screen and every terminal across the entire globe.

Cold, grand, and devoid of emotion.

[Phase One, Strongest Foundation Ranking, video finished playing.]

[The distribution of ranking rewards has officially begun.]

The entire room fell silent for a moment.

Then it boiled.

The live chat was instantly flooded with one topic.

"A reward! The reward has finally arrived!"

"Isn't the Dragon Kingdom number one? Su Shen's performance was absolutely inexcusable!"

"Nonsense, a Golden Core cultivator can instantly defeat a Nascent Soul cultivator. Who's stronger than him?"

Su Ruoruo's heart jumped.

The mechanical voice continued its announcement without pause.

[The number one on the Strongest Extraordinary Ranking, the Chosen One of the Dragon Kingdom, Su Xuan. Foundation score: Full marks.]

[The person associated with her, Su Ruoruo, has received an exclusive personal S-level reward.]

[Reward: Ferocious Beast Cub, Five Elements Gold-Devouring Beast.]

Su Ruoruo was stunned.

Before she could react, a crack appeared in the sky above her, and five-colored divine light poured down from the crack. The five colors of red, orange, blue, gold, and black intertwined and fell straight towards her.

Anna instinctively took a step back.

The five-colored divine light landed in Su Ruoruo's arms without any impact or burning sensation, falling gently like a ball of cotton.

The light shrank and condensed in her arms, gradually revealing an outline.

hairy.

Round and plump.

It is about the size of an adult cat, covered with short fur of mixed five colors, with a head like a tiger, a body like a pixiu, four chubby paws, and a tail curled into a circle and resting on its hind legs.

It opened its eyes.

His vertical pupils swirled with five colors, exactly the same as the five-colored light emanating from Su Xuan's body in the sky.

Su Ruoruo stared blankly down at the little one in her arms, her whole body stiff and afraid to move.

The little beast yawned, revealing two rows of tiny teeth, then rubbed its furry head against her cheek and let out a soft, sweet cry.

"Woo-hoo!"

Su Ruoruo's tears fell.

Anna leaned closer, her eyes wide open.

"What is this?! It's so cute!"

"Okay, she's cute, but she seems a bit dangerous."

The live chat exploded again.

"S-Rank Reward! A ferocious beast cub! How terrifying will this thing be when it grows up?"

"The Five Elements Devouring Gold Beast, its name includes the Five Elements, so it must match Su Shen's cultivation technique!"

"If she cried, I cried too. That little beast's aura is the same as her brother's."

"That rich girl from America had such a colorful expression, hahaha."

Alice's expression was indeed quite interesting.

Her nails dug into her palms, and she looked at the colorful ball of fur in Su Ruoruo's arms, her lips twitching.

The S-rank reward, a ferocious beast cub, was given to that poor girl who couldn't even afford a bulletproof vest.

What about her reward?

The mechanical voice didn't give her time to think.

[The Dragon Kingdom's national fortune-level rewards are being distributed.]

[Reward: A super-large spirit mountain mine will materialize, located within the territory of the Dragon Kingdom.]

The screen appeared.

A real-time viewpoint popped up on the screen, showing a desolate desert in the northwest of the Blue Star Dragon Kingdom, with yellow sand filling the sky and not a blade of grass growing.

The next second, the earth cracked open.

A deep rumble came from the depths of the earth, and the entire desert began to shake violently. The yellow sand surged like ocean waves, and cracks spread from the ground, growing wider and deeper.

Then, a mountain rose up from the ground.

Not one.

It is a mountain range.

The Lingshan Mountains, stretching for hundreds of miles, burst forth from the earth. The mountains were pure white and emitted a thick, visible white mist. This mist was not water vapor, but pure spiritual energy, so concentrated that it condensed into a substance and cascaded down from the peaks, spreading in all directions like a waterfall.

The sky over the entire northwest of the Dragon Kingdom changed color, from grayish-yellow to a pale blue, and the air was filled with an indescribable freshness that could be felt even in cities hundreds of kilometers away.

The chosen ones in the forbidden area all stood up.

Yukina's eyes narrowed to slits, and she unconsciously clenched her kunai, making a sound.

Alice's face turned completely pale.

A national-level award.

A spiritual mountain vein stretching for hundreds of miles lies entirely within the Dragon Kingdom, its spiritual energy radiating across most of the country.

What does this mean?

From this day forward, the Kingdom of Yilong will possess cultivation resources that no other country possesses.

The spiritual stones and materials contained in that spiritual mountain mine are enough to support a national-level cultivation system.

The live stream chat went crazy.

"Holy crap! That mountain range is enormous! It stretches for hundreds of miles!"

"The Dragon Kingdom has taken off! It has truly taken off!"

"That's unfair! Why should it be given to the Dragon Kingdom!"

"Why? Because Su Shen alone crushed the chosen ones of all your countries, is there still a problem?"

"What are those Americans who used to mock China's poverty looking like now? I really want to see the faces of their leaders!"

Blue Star, the United States of America, the Pentagon.

A group of generals sat in the conference room, staring at the rising Lingshan mineral vein on the giant screen, and no one spoke.

The coffee on the table got cold and nobody touched it.

The white-haired old man sitting at the head of the table took off his glasses, pinched the bridge of his nose hard, put his glasses back on, and spoke in a dry voice.

"Initiate an emergency meeting."

Tokyo, the land of cherry blossoms.

Inside the headquarters of the Shadow Consortium, Miyamoto Hanzo stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, looking at the image of the Spirit Mountain Mine on the projection screen. His teacup shattered, and tea spilled all over the floor.

Dragon Kingdom, the highest level.

The response was faster than any other country.

The order was issued just three minutes after the Lingshan Mine rose from the ground.

One hundred thousand troops were immediately mobilized to seal off the area within a hundred miles of the Lingshan Mine, prohibiting all aircraft from entering and providing full satellite surveillance coverage. Simultaneously, a "National-Level Lingshan Mine Development Strategy Group" was established, with its leader directly appointed by the highest levels of government.

Central Plaza of the Forbidden Area.

Su Ruoruo held the little beast in her arms and looked at the spiritual mountain mine belonging to the Dragon Kingdom in the sky. The colorful little beast rolled around in her arms and wrapped its tail around her wrist.

Anna moved closer to her, her eyes darting between Su Ruoruo and the sky, and licked her lips.

"Ruoruo, our relationship should be considered pretty good, right?"

Su Ruoruo ignored her and looked down at the little beast in her arms. The little beast's vertical pupils swirled with five colors, exactly the same light in her brother's eyes in her memory.

She reached out her finger and gently stroked the little animal's head.

The little beast squinted its eyes and made a comfortable gurgling sound in its throat.

Su Ruoruo reached out her finger and gently stroked the head of the little beast in her arms.

The little beast squinted its eyes, making a comfortable gurgling sound in its throat. Its colorful tail curled around her wrist, and the fluffy touch brought a sense of warmth.

Anna moved closer to her, licked her lips, and her eyes darted back and forth between Su Ruoruo and Tianmu.

"Ruoruo, our relationship should be considered pretty good, right?"

Su Ruoruo ignored her and looked down at the little beast in her arms. The little beast's vertical pupils shimmered with five colors, exactly the same light in her brother's eyes in her memory.

At that very moment, the immense and chilling pressure that had enveloped the entire central square of the forbidden area quietly dissipated.

All the monsters in the forbidden area who had been frozen in place due to the ranking settlement seemed to have had their frozen movements instantly restored, as if a play button had been pressed.

Pairs of scarlet eyes rekindled their bloodthirsty glint.

Roar.

A violent roar exploded out.

The D-rank peak ferocious beast [Black Armor Crocodile], which was about to attack Su Ruoruo but was stopped halfway by the pressure of the ranking list, suddenly roared up.

Its thick limbs slammed into the ground, cracking the hard stone slabs like spiderwebs. Its massive body transformed into a black cannonball, accompanied by a foul-smelling gust of wind. It opened its blood-red maw, filled with sharp teeth, and viciously pounced on Su Ruoruo.

That's too fast.

Anna was so close that she only had time to let out a short scream before her body instinctively staggered backward.

In the live stream from Longguo, every viewer's heart was in their throat at that moment.

"Be careful!"

"Ruoruo, run!"

"Oh no, how can we possibly dodge this!"

Exclamations flooded the screen as everyone watched in disbelief as the foul-smelling mouth rapidly enlarged in their field of vision, the saliva hanging from the crocodile's teeth clearly visible.

Su Ruoruo was just an ordinary high school student with a thin physique. Faced with a surprise attack of this level, she would not have any time to react at all.

The black-armored crocodile's sharp teeth were less than half a meter away from Su Ruoruo's slender neck.

At this critical moment.

"Woohoo!"

A roar exploded from Su Ruoruo's arms. The voice was childish, but it carried a terrifying ferocity that was completely inconsistent with her cute appearance.

The Five Elements Devouring Gold Beast, which had been dozing in her arms, suddenly opened its five-colored vertical pupils.

In an instant, its body swelled up in the wind.

One meter, two meters, three meters.

In the blink of an eye, the fluffy little cutie swelled into a ferocious beast over three meters tall, its body covered in five-colored scales that shimmered with metallic cold light. It had the head of a tiger and the body of a mythical beast, with strong and powerful limbs. A terrifying pressure comparable to that of a third-tier superhuman on Earth suddenly erupted, blowing away all the foul wind that was rushing towards it.

The Five Elements Devouring Gold Beast raised its right claw, which was larger than a human head. The sharp claw tip was wrapped with extremely dense Geng metal energy, making it incomparably sharp.

It didn't even bother to look at the crocodile that was pouncing on it. Its movements were as fast as a blur, accompanied by a shrill screech that tore through the air, as it slapped down hard with its paw.

The slap landed on the skull of the black-armored crocodile.

Click!

A sickeningly loud cracking sound, like bone breaking, echoed throughout the stadium.

That hard skull, strong enough to withstand heavy machine gun fire, became as fragile as paper under this slap, instantly collapsing inward and crumbling into powder.

Before the black-armored crocodile could even let out a scream, its massive body was sent flying more than ten meters away by the force. It crashed into three trees that were as thick as two people could hug, then twitched twice on the ground and remained motionless.

He died on the spot.

One-hit kill.

After doing all this, the three-meter-tall Five Elements Gold-Devouring Beast humanizedly let out a burp, seemingly not satisfied with this "appetizer," and its enormous body quickly shrank.

With a flash of five-colored light, it transformed back into that fluffy little cutie, no bigger than a cat, tracing a precise parabola in the air before landing steadily back in Su Ruoruo's arms.

It nuzzled Su Ruoruo's cheek with its fluffy head, making a coquettish gurgling sound in its throat, as if it wasn't the one who had just shattered the skull of a peak D-level ferocious beast with a single slap.

The whole process took less than three seconds.

The entire room fell silent.

The chat in the Dragon Kingdom's live stream, which was lagging, exploded three seconds later.

"Holy shit!!!"

"One slap? Just one slap? A peak D-rank monster is gone?"

"This is an S-rank cub?! Its combat power is even stronger than our Dragon Kingdom's strongest general!"

"Ruoruo is saved! Not only is she saved, she can now walk around the forbidden area with impunity!"

A frenzy, an absolute frenzy, swept across the entire Dragon Kingdom.

Meanwhile, in other corners of the forbidden area's central square, chaos reigned.

Beautiful Country Region.

Alice was staring intently at the screen in front of her. On the screen, the entire process of the little beast in Su Ruoruo's arms growing bigger and smaller was being recorded.

Her face, which was covered in exquisite makeup, was completely drained of color, her lips trembled, and she couldn't utter a single word.

S-rank reward: a ferocious beast cub, with combat power comparable to a third-tier beast.

She dismissed all the thoughts she shouldn't have had.

In the instant she lost her focus, a C-rank [Swift Wind Wolf] beside her, which had been bound for a long time, regained its freedom. Its scarlet eyes locked onto her instantly, and it let out a low growl before transforming into a blue afterimage and pouncing over.

"what!"

Alice screamed and rolled awkwardly on the ground to avoid it, tearing a hole in her expensive princess dress and getting it covered in mud.

The Cherry Blossom Country region.

Yukina's knuckles turned white as she gripped the kunai. In front of her, three D-rank [Oni-faced Spiders] were approaching her from different directions, spitting out sticky spider silk.

Her figure flickered, moving nimbly through the gaps in the spider web, her expression extremely grave.

In the British Isles, two knights guarding Princess Victoria were locked in a fierce battle with a giant rock golem. Sparks flew as their swords struck the rock, leaving only shallow white marks.

Only Anna from the Russian Bear Kingdom stood blankly behind Su Ruoruo, staring at the crocodile corpse a dozen meters away, then at the harmless, colorful fur ball in Su Ruoruo's arms, and swallowed hard.

The monsters around her seemed to sense the terrifying pressure left by the Five Elements Devouring Gold Beast, and none of them dared to approach her even a fraction of a second.

This place became the only safe zone in the entire chaotic battlefield.

Anna's eyes lit up.
