Chapter 83: The Beginning

After the announcement of the ranking of the strongest factions, the world of Tianyuan was thrown into chaos. Various factions began to make moves quietly, like an undercurrent building up slowly beneath the surface. Before long, the announcement of Rank 9 came swiftly.

[Rank 9]

[Reward: (Visible only to the current leader of the ranked faction)]

When the name of the Immortal Dragon Emperor Clan was announced, it immediately surprised many across the world of Tianyuan. Some didn't expect the Dragon Clan, which appeared to be weakening and nearing destruction, to still possess such hidden strength.

At the Bloodfallen Sky Sect, Kong Ling was slightly surprised to hear the Dragon Emperor Clan's name appear on the list. However, he wasn't too concerned, as he had already anticipated that a clan as ancient as that wouldn't reveal their true power so easily.

In different parts of Tianyuan, discussions arose with a mix of curiosity and confusion:

"Wasn't the Immortal Dragon Clan on the brink of destruction?" one man asked.

"I have no idea... but this situation seems to be getting more mysterious by the minute," another replied with astonishment.

This announcement sent ripples through several factions, sparking worries about the true power of the Dragon Emperor Clan, potentially disrupting the balance of power in ways no one had anticipated.

At the Dragon Emperor Clan on the Immortal Black Sea Continent, Long Wei, the clan's leader, sat on his grand throne, gazing at the ancient dragons around him. He asked confidently, "Is everything ready?"

An old dragon standing closest to him stepped forward and replied in a deep, solemn voice, "Everything is ready, my lord."

Long Wei smiled in satisfaction. "Good... Send someone to awaken the ancestors. The time has come," he said in a chilling voice. "And as for the rest... follow me."

All the dragons in the great hall stood up in unison, bowing respectfully to Long Wei before following him swiftly. The once-quiet atmosphere in the Dragon Emperor Clan turned tense.

After the Rank 9 announcement, the rankings of 8th, 7th, and 6th quickly followed, drawing the world of Tianyuan's attention.

[Low Tier: 3,145,217,152 people]

[Reward: (Visible only to the current leader of the ranked faction)]

As these ranks were revealed, the conversations quieted down a bit, though overall, many weren't particularly surprised. These factions were already known to be among the top, though the number of their members exceeded many people's expectations.

On the Immortal Black Sea Continent, at the Golden Commerce Alliance's headquarters, a grand celebration was taking place. People were drinking and rejoicing over their faction making it onto the Golden Ranking List. However, the joyous atmosphere shifted suddenly. Everyone in the room stopped, looking at each other with tense expressions, nodding as if receiving a silent signal.

Moments later, everyone from the Golden Commerce Alliance disappeared into the void. In that instant, an enormous Dragon Spirit force crashed into their headquarters. The formidable Immortal Emperor-level defense formation shattered, and the entire city was razed to the ground in the blink of an eye. The inhabitants of the city didn't even have a chance to react. Everything happened too quickly.

The void opened once more as Chang Tong, the leader of the Golden Commerce Alliance, emerged with a cold expression. He glanced at the dragon standing before him and spoke in a frosty voice, "I thought we were allies?"

Long Wei, leader of the Immortal Dragon Emperor Clan, sneered and replied mockingly, "I never liked you humans. You actually think you can form alliances with dragons like us? Haven't you ever looked in a mirror?"

Chang Tong narrowed his eyes and said in an icy tone, "So, there's nothing left to talk about, is there?"

At the same time, the members of the Golden Commerce Alliance materialized from the void, ready to join the battle. However, as soon as they appeared, their bodies trembled violently, and they spat blood in unison.

Chang Tong silently watched the scene before him, his gaze fixed on Long Wei. But deep down, Chang Tong was filled with contempt. He spoke again, his tone even colder, "Did you really think poisoning me would work? I thought dragons like you held pride and honor above all else. I never imagined two-legged lizards like you would resort to such underhanded tricks."

Long Wei, unfazed, laughed heartily and scoffed, "Pride and honor? For humans like you? You overestimate yourselves." His voice dripped with disdain. However, mere moments later, Long Wei coughed up blood, his eyes widening in shock as a sword pierced through his chest, appearing out of the void. The blade was razor-sharp and pulsed with a power that made the blood of even a dragon tremble.

Despite his severe injury, Long Wei stood tall, his face showing no sign of panic. He spoke calmly, "My dear brother... why did you choose to serve humans like this?"

[Rank 5]

[Name: Immortal Sword Emperor Sacred Land, Wind Immortal Continent]

[Forces including their own and those under their command]

[Supreme Tier: 3,564 people]

[High Tier: 48,781,891 people]

[Mid Tier: 689,972,177 people]

[Low Tier: 3,545,112,152 people]

[Reward: (Visible only to the current leader of the ranked faction)]

As the name of the Immortal Sword Emperor Sacred Land appeared in the 5th position, the people of Tianyuan World were stunned. Many had not expected this sacred land to be as powerful as it appeared.

At the Immortal Phoenix Royal Clan, Feng Yang voiced his doubts, "The Immortal Sword Emperor Sacred Land shouldn't be this strong. What's going on?"

Feng Yi, his daughter and current Empress, also looked at the list with confusion. She quietly summoned a shadowy figure and asked in a serious tone, "What has our spy within the Immortal Sword Emperor Sacred Land discovered?"

The shadow responded in a low, secretive voice, "It seems that Zi Hao, the current Holy Son, has gained some unknown opportunities that haven't been disclosed to the lower levels of the sacred land. He has used this to greatly enhance the power of the Immortal Sword Emperor Sacred Land, leading to a rapid increase in their strength. Furthermore, due to Zi Hao's reputation, many smaller and larger forces have pledged allegiance to them, with around 49 weaker Emperor-level forces joining under their banner."

Feng Yang smiled in satisfaction, "It seems that Zi Hao is someone not to be underestimated. Are you interested in him?" He turned towards Feng Yi as he spoke.

Feng Yi gave her father a cold stare and rolled her eyes before replying indifferently, "Father... this is not the time for jokes."

Feng Yang laughed loudly, "I was just teasing! No need to take it so seriously."

Suddenly, the announcement of the 4th rank echoed across Tianyuan World, shocking everyone. This was a force no one had ever heard of or encountered before.

[Rank 4]

[Name: Immortal Xue Emperor Clan, Eternal Immortal Continent]

[Forces including their own and those under their command]

[Supreme Tier: 3,615 people]

[High Tier: 108,110,481 people]

[Mid Tier: 671,841,158 people]

[Low Tier: 3,584,194,811 people]

[Reward: (Visible only to the current leader of the ranked faction)]

At the Immortal Phoenix Royal Clan, Feng Yang looked utterly confused. He had never heard of the Immortal Xue Emperor Clan before. This revelation was completely beyond his expectations.

Feng Yi, his daughter, sat in silence for a while before taking out a scroll and handing it to her father without saying a word.

Feng Yang, still puzzled, accepted the scroll and immediately began reading. As his eyes scanned the contents, his face showed increasing shock. He looked up at Feng Yi with a questioning gaze, "Is this real?"

Feng Yi nodded with a serious expression, knowing the information her father had received would be hard for him to accept.

Feng Yang sat still for a moment before speaking, "What in the world is happening? Everything seems to be changing beyond anything I ever anticipated." His voice trembled slightly with both excitement and intrigue.

Meanwhile, on the Black Sea Immortal Continent, the battlefield was littered with corpses. Both human and dragon bodies were strewn across the ground, and the brutal battle showed no sign of ending. Screams and the sounds of slaughter echoed throughout the continent, unceasingly.

Chang Tong had been struck so hard that he crashed into a mountain. He could feel his bones breaking and blood pouring from his wounds, but he forced himself to rise again. Across from him, Long Wei looked on with a mocking smile. "So weak... When I fought Kong Lin, it was more entertaining. Even though I almost died," Long Wei sneered.

Suddenly, Long Wei dodged a precise attack, laughing as he said, "What a cunning fox you are, willing to ally with your enemies to fight us?"

A dignified woman emerged from the void, her expression calm yet her eyes exuding strength. The arrival of Sa Ying, the 63rd leader of the Shadow Immortal Emperor Sect, brought an icy chill to the air. "To eliminate filthy lizards like you, allying with enemies is worth it," she said coldly.

Long Wei was not angered; instead, he laughed and made an offer, "Do you want to split it? Half for you, half for me."

Chang Tong, still standing, was shocked by the offer. He quickly spoke, "In that case, after we destroy the Dragon Clan, you take six parts, and I'll take just four."

Before he could finish his words, Sa Ying sneered and immediately attacked Chang Tong. Her sword pierced through his body so swiftly that he had no chance to defend himself. Chang Tong looked down at the blood flowing from his wounds in disbelief, "Why...?" he asked weakly.

Seeing an opportunity, Long Wei prepared to kill Chang Tong, thinking that Sa Ying would be more focused on destroying the Golden Commerce Guild than fighting him. After all, the guild's wealth and power were immense, with countless branches across many continents.

But Long Wei's assumption was fatally wrong. Suddenly, he felt an overwhelming coldness approaching him. Before he could react, his head was severed from his body in an instant. The last thing he saw before his body collapsed was Sa Ying's cold, mocking smile. Long Wei fell to the ground, his body lying motionless among the countless other corpses scattered across the battlefield.

At that moment, the third-ranked force on the Golden List was announced, and all eyes in Tianyuan World turned skyward. The name that appeared sent a wave of silence across the world before whispers and conversations erupted in every direction.
