The skyward eye had clearly broadcasted the entire battle. Lan Xingyao had performed rather well and showed his power, but a royal blueblood being defeated by a nameless disciple of a second-rate sect was a hard pill to swallow. Having just lost, he shook from the pain of losing his arm.

”That disciple of the Azuresoul Palace is amazing.”

”Lan Xingyao was completely crushed. Few second-rate sect disciples would be able to make someone with that status suffer.”

”Amazing. Not only did he lose the minorsky stele, he also lost face.”

”The Blueblood Starocean’s hundred thousand disciples might go after the Azuresoul Palace’s as payback.”

The chatter and looks from the crowd had completely crushed Lan Xingyao’s pride. ”You’re called Li Tianming?” he said, looking up at the Skyward Stele and glaring at Tianming.

”That’s right.” Tianming put on the spatial ring he had just taken, finding many precious treasures within it. As his main goal was to obtain top caeli of other sects, he was glad that Lan Xingyao had brought quite a few with him. There was a piece of divine caelumite in the ring with a span of ten meters, within which was stored more than thirty thousand caeli from dead seniors of surprisingly high quality. They all belonged to constelliers and above. The fact that Lan Xingyao could carry so many of them on his person showed how high his status was.

”You’d better remember this. Not only did you take my minorsky stele, you even humiliated me like this. The Blueblood Starocean will pay your sect back tens of hundreds times for what you’ve done. A mere second-rate sect like yours has no right to even challenge us, got it?” Lan Xingyao’s blue blood continued flowing from the corner of his mouth, making him appear even more ghastly.

”Hehe, isn’t your sect ranked last among the first-rate sects? You’re one accident away from being bumped into second rate, yet you seem to think you’re hot shit?” Tianming was more than pleased. Not only had he kept the stele, but he had also gotten Lan Xingyao’s treasures. As for his threats, Tianming didn’t think too much of them; after all, they weren’t able to use transmission stones within the Voidsky Realm. There was no way the few disciples of Blueblood Starocean that were here could notify the tens of thousands of others to target the Azuresoul Palace.

”Haha… how ignorant you are….” Lan Xingyao still managed to laugh despite his situation with the knowledge that the tenth place of the myriad sect ranking and the first-placed second-rate sect wasn’t just a difference of one place. In fact, that was made possible by the conquest of an entire continent and its countless elites.

”Me? Ignorant?” Tianming tilted his head and looked Lan Xingyao in the eye. ”You’re still staying here instead of running away. Looks like you didn’t notice how serious things were getting.”

Tianming had initially planned to leave, yet that fellow still remained to threaten him. It was all too apparent that leaving him in the Voidsky Realm would bring a lot of trouble to himself and the Azuresoul Palace.

”Looks like it’s time for you to make your exit.” Tianming had been about to put his sword away, but he suddenly struck. Lan Xingyao was still holding on to his severed arm, but was completely stunned when Tianming charged him with a fist. He used Cryptdragon Meteor, one of the tens of moves he found somewhat useful after challenging more than twenty-three ancient idols. This was a third-realm divine fist art. His fist shot out like a meteor with a hint of dragons, slamming toward Lan Xingyao’s head.

”You don’t know what’s good for you!” Lan Xingyao roared as he hurriedly backed off. He was completely helpless against any further assault, especially with Tianming using his black left arm. The fist crashed into Lan Xingyao’s nose, immediately shattering it with the force of mountains and even caving his face in. Lan Xingyao’s horrid shrieking sounded like a pathetic, crying whimper from his deformed mouth.

”If it weren’t for the imperial star formation, you would’ve died! Now screw off!” The moment Tianming said that, Lan Xingyao’s imperial star formation activated to defend him, then waned. Now he could no longer weather the flaming storms and was flung out of the Voidsky Realm, completely eliminated. Though he was someone who could have been ranked in the top thousand, he was eliminated before his name was even listed.

”Li Tianming, Azuresoul Palace! All of you will die!” Lan Xingyao cried as he flew further and further away. He sounded like his lungs were about to explode.

”I already gave you a chance to leave, but you chose to stay there and take it. You deserved it.” Finally, it was dealt with. Lan Xingyao could have stood a chance, had he immediately backed off after losing, but he persisted with his pride of being in a first-rate sect.

Tianming didn’t stop after defeating Lan Xingyao. Working with Lingfeng, he eliminated the other Blueblood Starocean disciples there. That way, no other disciple of Blueblood Starocean would actively seek out the Azuresoul Palace members within the Voidsky Realm. The thousands of other witnesses watched as the two of them sent the Blueblood Starocean disciples flying out of the Voidsky Realm, those among them that lusted after the minorsky stele having completely given up on the notion of trying to take it.

”Whatever. If we didn’t even dare to offend Blueblood Starocean, it’s best that we don’t mess with them either, especially when Yu Ziqian is there.

”Those three are really fierce, for them to even dare to beat up first-rate-sect disciples.”

”Not to mention, they even robbed them.”

”Looks like Li Tianming is going to be famous outside thanks to the skyward eye.”

As they spoke, they made way for Tianming and the rest.

”Friend! No matter what, you managed to teach those totem users a lesson and show them what beastmasters are made of! You have my respect!”

A few burly men waved to him in a friendly manner.

”Thank you, everyone.” Tianming swept his gaze through the crowd and didn’t see Yu Ziqian. He had probably bailed during the fight. ”That fellow….”

With the people scattering, Tianming was planning to leave too. He turned to the Skyward Stele and saw that his points had increased to three thousand and four. ”There’s four more than before. What does that mean?”

”Might it have something to do with how many imperial star formations we activate by defeating our enemies?” Lingfeng asked.

”Apart from Lan Xingyao, I took care of two among the five that remained. It should be three, not four,” Tianming said.

”Nah, it’s correct. You forgot about Yun Feiyang. The number increased by one after your name first showed up. They rectified the score without us noticing.”

”I see. In other words, the ranking takes the number of defeated enemies into account. Maybe other factors like obtaining the minorsky stele also gives us points, and I got three thousand from it.”

”That sounds about right. There must also be a minimum number of points needed to qualify. So far, nobody but you has passed the threshold.”

”Got it,” Tianming said, looking at the Skyward Stele.

At that moment, there was a bit of commotion among those who scattered. Another name had appeared on the Skyward Stele, and it read: Second Place, Lan Feilin (Blueblood Starocean), 1001. That meant the threshold to be ranked was at least a thousand points. Her appearance also confirmed that defeating enemies also helped one gain points, as Lan Feilin’s points continued increasing every few moments. Soon, she was up to a thousand and eight points. Her points had slowly been built up, unlike Tianming who had won three thousand points in one go. Lan Feilin had probably defeated a thousand and eight enemies.

”So that means she’s eliminated more than a thousand people from the Voidsky Realm….” Even as Tianming spoke, her points increased by three. She was no doubt involved in a huge fight.

”It’s actually her!”

”I get it now! One has to get a thousand points to be ranked!”

”So defeating enemies is one way to get points. Li Tianming also got three thousand points by obtaining the minorsky stele, the equivalent of defeating three thousand foes! There must be other ways to get points, too!”

”It’s a competition with variety, alright. Looks like combat and understanding are both among the many things tested.”

The participants finally started to understand some of the rules of the competition. Though, most others in the Voidsky Realm didn’t know about the minorsky stele. The only thing they knew for sure was that defeating others was worth points. All of a sudden, a battle royale started in the Voidsky Realm.
