    ## Chapter 462: Void Mark! Overlooking All Heroes

    Every fierce battle, every clash with a top-tier demigod, spread Li Yuan’s reputation throughout the ancestral realm.

    While communication methods were restricted in the ancestral realm, demigods could observe the changes in the ancestral realm ranking.

    Strong individuals from the same forces would also exchange information when they met.

    All these factors contributed to Li Yuan’s growing fame.

    “Xu Yuan!”

    “Xu Yuan, he’s at the top of the points ranking now.”

    “He’s defeated three top-tier demigod powerhouses: Madman, Cloud in the Painting, and Ao Feng.”

    In the ancestral realm, top-tier geniuses like Ning Chi, Jing Kui, Lian Yun, and Yue Dao, who hadn’t fought Li Yuan yet, were aware of his terrifying strength.

    They almost all regarded Li Yuan as their “biggest enemy.”

    “Xu Yuan, after all these years, you’ve become the biggest threat to me in the ancestral realm battle for the ancestral realm token.” Jing Kui walked on the lake, a smile on his face. “Interesting, how interesting!”

    “But even if I fight you, it’ll have to wait until the end. First, I have to find a way to snatch the ancestral realm token from Ning Chi, Yue Dao, and the others.”

    “Xu Yuan? Even Madman couldn’t defeat him, he was directly beaten?”

    “According to Madman, his Gun Technique should be quite ordinary.” A white-clothed youth with a lazy demeanor walked across the land, sensing the changes in the ancestral realm token. A light gleamed in his eyes: “Could it be that he’s actually a Nine-Star Bloodline?”

    “Little old Awakening Continent, this generation can actually give birth to a Nine-Star Bloodline?”

    “Even with the assistance of the Awakening God Pill, it should be extremely difficult.”

    “Nine-Star Bloodline, it’s terrifying. But a Nine-Star Bloodline who has only been cultivating for a few decades is nothing to worry about.”

    The white-clothed youth was Ning Chi.

    He was widely acknowledged as the strongest among the nine powerful individuals descended from the Chaos Divine Court.

    Even among the thousands of Gold Robe members in the Divine Court headquarters, his strength was considered among the top tier.

    “First place in points.”

    “I lost it, but I’ll get it back.” Ning Chi turned into a stream of light and disappeared.

    He seemed lazy, but he actually wanted to take first place very much.

    “Big brother has reached the top?” Liu Bing smiled.

    It took her a long time to condense spatial true intent, and she spent a lot of time comprehending True God-level secret techniques. She killed fewer enemies, which is why she was continuously surpassed in the points ranking.

    Now, even Yue Dao, who had been behind her, had overtaken her.

    But Liu Bing didn’t care too much.

    “The ancestral realm token!”

    “To completely seize the ancestral realm token and gain the upper hand in the ancestral realm core, flying escape techniques alone are not enough.” Liu Bing thought to herself: “I must do my best to combine the laws of wind and space and comprehend True God-level secret techniques.”

    In the north of the ancestral realm, there was a vast icy wasteland. In one area, two talented demigods were locked in fierce battle.

    “You fools!”

    “A bunch of fools.”

    “They let a native demigod defeat them one after another. Dao Ying, Yu Ting, Cloud in the Painting, they are all fools.” A dirty-looking girl was filled with anger.

    The moon-like brilliance of her sword, dazzling and beautiful, was completely out of sync with her dirty clothes.

    With a single slash, she sent Dong Pan, the demigod in front of her, flying backwards.

    “Little kid, your comprehension of the laws is not bad.”

    “Unfortunately, your weapon and foundation are too weak. Just surrender.” The dirty-looking girl yelled.

    “Yue Dao? What kind of monster is she, her Sword Technique is stronger than my Hammer Technique.” Dong Pan was increasingly alarmed as he fought: “And her Star Techniques are terrifying too, her strength completely surpasses mine, could she be an Eight-Star Bloodline demigod?”

    “Why are there so many mysterious geniuses in this ancestral realm battle?”

    After his comprehension of the laws broke through to the peak of the Eighth Level (initial True God stage), Dong Pan was full of heroic spirit. He had been fighting continuously, his ranking on the points list had climbed higher and higher.

    Now, he was very close to the top ten.

    But then he encountered this mysterious expert, “Yue Dao.”

    The opponent’s strength was simply outrageous.

    In just over ten moves, she had overwhelmed him, who was known for his excellent defenses.

    “I don’t believe it.” Dong Pan gritted his teeth, brandishing his double hammers, his momentum rising as he charged forward again.

    But Dong Pan’s struggle was destined to be futile.

    After exchanging moves for only ten more moves, “Dong Pan, the demigod,” whose strength had reached the peak of the Void God stage, was forced to use his realm token to escape.

    Dong Pan didn’t know.

    Yue Dao was the strongest among the seven “Thousand Star Members” who descended from the Wan Dao Divine Court.

    The icy wasteland fell silent.

    “Seven-Star Bloodline, her comprehension of the laws is so high?” The dirty-looking girl muttered to herself: “This Awakening Continent is indeed worthy of being the place where the great being is isolated, even the ancient city of the starry sky dares not pursue it. It’s indeed deeply rooted.”

    “Of all the six-sided small heavens I’ve explored, this one is the strongest.”

    “Only.”

    “My real opponents are Xu Yuan, and Ning Chi and Liu Bing.” The dirty-looking girl glanced at the ancestral realm ranking.

    She knew the strength of her companions. Xu Yuan could fight two and win. That was enough to prove his strength.

    Ning Chi? They had fought once in the Divine Realm.

    And Liu Bing?

    “In the Divine Realm, it was said that the Sky Snake Clan had perished. I didn’t expect to see this kind of top-tier divine beast, the Sacred Blood Sky Snake, here.” The dirty-looking girl’s eyes sparkled: “Top-tier divine beast, it can reach the True God limit in a few hundred years, it’s not to be underestimated.”

    Whoosh!

    The dirty-looking girl disappeared to the end of the horizon.

    “First in the ancestral realm!”

    “First on the ancestral realm ranking!”

    “Xu Yuan demigod, he’s our strongman from the Yuan Kingdom.” On Awakening Continent, countless people were paying attention to the ancestral realm token.

    The moment Li Yuan reached the top, countless strong individuals in the Yuan Kingdom went wild with excitement.

    “Xu Yuan’s points are constantly rising, at first he was only in the fifties, then the teens, and in the final stage, his ranking is still climbing!!”

    “In the later stages, all the top ten demigods were formidable, yet Xu Yuan could still climb. He achieved this by defeating other top-tier demigods.”

    “Right! Every time he defeats one, he takes half their points, so his total points naturally skyrocket.”

    “Yue Shan demigod’s ranking is in the nineties, not bad, but he’s too far behind Xu Yuan demigod.”

    Even though the ancestral realm battle wasn’t over yet, Li Yuan was only temporarily ranked first. The points competition was only the “first phase.”

    But this was a glory the Yuan Kingdom had never experienced before.

    In the ancient city of Awakening, countless Void Gods and True Gods were also paying attention.

    “First place!”

    “Two of them are in the top ten, and both are in the top five.” Chi Yang True God smiled, but he also had some doubts: “But where did the other geniuses in the top ten come from?”

    “Xu Yuan, he can actually reach the top?” Piao Xia True God and Xing Huan True God were stunned, they couldn’t believe it: “Xu Yuan has only been a demigod for a few years?”

    The two of them had been teaching Xu Yuan for several years, and they never thought his strength would improve so quickly.

    “Could it be that Xu Yuan can really become a Heavenly God?” Piao Xia True God couldn’t help but say.

    “Even if he is first in the ancestral realm battle, it’s still very difficult to become a Heavenly God.” Xing Huan True God’s voice was deep and powerful: “But a forty-year-old first place in the ancestral realm battle? The probability of becoming a Heavenly God is very high.”

    There’s a world of difference between becoming first at six hundred years old and fifty years old.

    Reaching the top of the points ranking, Li Yuan was pleased by the commotion it caused, but he wasn’t too excited.

    First place in points? He considered it a matter of course.

    It was simply achieving the goal he had set before entering the ancestral realm.

    What Li Yuan was pursuing now was to break through his Gun Technique and soul secret techniques.

    Days turned into weeks.

    Li Yuan continued to engage in combat with powerful demigods.

    As Ning Chi, Yue Dao, and others began to show their full strength, the extraordinary geniuses from the Chaos Divine Court and the Wan Dao Divine Court also stopped holding back, making the ancestral realm battle even more dangerous.

    Many of the top-ranked experts in the top fifty and top thirty began to team up in groups of three or even five.

    The ancestral realm battle had been going on for a while now, and most of the experts in the top hundred and top thousand had already given up on trying to improve their rankings.

    However.

    This had no impact on Li Yuan. It didn’t matter whether it was a few geniuses ranked in the fifties teaming up, or even the geniuses in the top ten joining forces. He could leave whenever he wanted.

    He remained incredibly strong and continued to kill with abandon, honing his Gun Technique.

    There were less than three days left before the “first phase” of the ancestral realm battle ended.

    On the barren land.

    Poof! Poof! Poof!

    Streams of light flashed across the sky like lightning and mist, killing powerful ancestral realm creatures one after another.

    Li Yuan continuously tried out his own moves and ideas. As for the points he gained? He no longer cared.

    Practicing Gun Technique!

    It had become his habit.

    Even though he could now deduce secret techniques and no longer needed to practice Gun Technique, only combining the mysteries of the laws was necessary, Li Yuan still retained this habit.

    With the spear in hand, his mind became tranquil, his heart pure.

    Time passed second by second.

    “Boom!”

    Li Yuan thrust out another spear. The spear’s power was restrained, but the tip was surrounded by the mysteries of the three laws: wind, earth, and space. None of the mysteries of the laws were particularly strong, but when combined, they had terrifying power.

    “Whoosh!”

    The moment the spear’s brilliance shot across the sky, the dazzling light instantly converged, forming a single thread.

    This thread shot through the void, leaving a visible, lingering “void mark” in the void. It shot for thousands of kilometers before fading away.

    “Hahaha!”

    “Void Mark, a single strike spanning thousands of miles.” Li Yuan’s eyes lit up, he felt an overwhelming sense of satisfaction.

    “The seventh move of the Boundary Cloud Spear, ‘Void Mark’, I’ve finally mastered it.” Li Yuan’s eyes shone: “With ‘spatial cutting’ as the core, absolute condensation, absolute attacking move.”

    All these years.

    Li Yuan had been continuously deducing and comprehending the three laws, and he had also been combining the three laws… He had roamed the Lonely Cloud World for three years and fought countless life-or-death battles in the ancestral realm. All of this had allowed his Gun Technique to constantly improve.

    Only.

    It was extremely difficult to combine the laws and create stronger combat secret techniques… For example, over these seven years, his comprehension of spatial true intent had reached the middle stage of the Eighth Level, but he still hadn’t broken through.

    He had to walk the path himself.

    “So-called talent, or law compatibility, whatever it may be.” Li Yuan understood, his joy and excitement revealed the reason he had been stuck at the bottleneck: “They only help me walk faster.”

    “But this path, I have to walk it myself.”

    “These seven years, my comprehension of the laws has improved more than many Void Gods have in thousands of years.”

    “I have experienced hundreds of life-or-death battles.”

    “I have thought endlessly.”

    “Accumulation!”

    “A tall building is never built out of thin air.” Li Yuan had a sudden realization: “Even with the highest talent, if you don’t go through a thousand temperings, even if you cultivate quickly at first, you will eventually hit a bottleneck.”

    Whoosh!

    Another spear thrust, this one was infused with the eruption of Source Power, causing the void to tremble once more, as if the heavens themselves were about to be pierced by this spear.

    “The seventh move of the Boundary Cloud Spear, it’s a Void God peak-level Gun Technique (high-level Eighth Level), it hasn’t reached the True God level.” Li Yuan had calmed down: “Compared to Jing Kui, Ao Feng, and Dao Ying, those extraordinary demigods, it’s still a bit weak.”

    “But it’s enough.”

    Previously, the gap in his Gun Technique moves was too large. Li Yuan had relied on his stronger Source Power, multiple Nine-Star Star Techniques, and soul attacks… all-round strength, to be considered number one.

    In terms of pure attack power, Li Yuan’s previous self, even when using his innate divine weapon, could only be considered comparable to Dao Ying.

    And using multiple Nine-Star Star Techniques consumed a lot of Source Power.

    Therefore, when facing multiple opponents, Li Yuan was often hesitant and had difficulty winning.

    But now?

    His Gun Technique had broken through, this was a fundamental improvement.

    “In terms of attack power alone, I’m probably the strongest in this ancestral realm battle.” Li Yuan was absolutely confident.

    “Looking at the entire ancestral realm battlefield, I don’t think anyone is my opponent.”

    “Two days left before the ancestral realm token competition.”
