Dongfang Chitian and the other 300 Taichu Yuan Venerates glared at Luo Yunyang with hostile gazes. Long Fantian had already given them a reward that was hard to refuse, but they would still have been at odds with Luo Yunyang even without this offer.

This wasn’t because they had the mentality of serving Long Fantian wholeheartedly, but because Luo Yunyang had given them a harsh face slap.

300 Taichu Yuan Venerates had failed to stop Luo Yunyang and some even failed to realize that Luo Yunyang had already bypassed them!

This had been an utter disgrace for them. Besides, they simply couldn’t afford to lose to this person.

However, the pressure during the ascend on the path to the heavens made them unable to speed up. They could only rush over frantically after Luo Yunyan destroyed the pressure that was suppressing the pathway.

“Luo Yunyang, take this!” Dongfan Chitian roared as he formed a series of hand seals rapidly. In an instant, a steam of endless stars gathered and transformed into numerous long swords in the void that swooped down together at Luo Yunyang.

This was one of Dongfan Chitian’s trademark techniques.

He would usually execute this technique only in life-and-death situations but he had disgraced himself too much so he couldn’t care less anymore!

Dongfang Chitian executed his move swiftly and the rest followed, not moving any slower than him. Momentarily, all sorts of attacks swarmed toward Luo Yunyang at once.

Long Fantian was already in the air when Dongfang Chitian and the rest attacked Luo Yunyang.

The most important thing in Long Fantian’s opinion was to rush toward the peak of the pathway to heaven and obtain the supreme position of the Human Ruler.

Luo Yunyang’s cultivation base had suffered a major setback after he’d unleashed his previous punch. Although it was recovering at a rapid speed, it wasn’t easy for it to recover fully.

He wouldn’t necessarily get the short end of the stick if he went ahead and took on Dongfang Chitian and the rest of the Yuan Venerates. However, he would be falling into their trap if he did so.

Therefore, Luo Yunyang transferred his attributes to his Speed without any hesitation and flew up the path to the heavens immediately.

Although his body had suffered significant injuries, the clone embodiments of the Chaotic Four-Origin Beast were relatively unscathed. Thus, he could still dodge and rush out of the attack range of Dongfang Chitian and the other Yuan Venerates after transferring his attributes to his Speed and before rushing up the path to the heavens.

As Taichu Yuan Venerates, Dongfang Chitian and the other powerhouses could change the terrain with a mere thought. However, this technique wasn’t exactly useful against other Taichu Yuan Venerates.

Hence, their attacks fell short even though they were extremely brilliant and inescapable. After all, their speed was much slower than Luo Yunyang’s.

Luo Yunyang and Long Fantian were like two soaring dragons getting farther and farther away from them.

“What a freaking speed he has!” a Taichu Yuan Venerate beside Dongfang Chitian said angrily.

The people watching the battle for the position of the Human Ruler from the 36 Great Cosmoses could not believe it when they saw Luo Yunyang breaking through the encirclement of Dongfang Chitian and the other Taichu Yuan Venerates with ease.

Some of them even started to express their disbelief. “Ha ha! I always thought that the 300 Taichu Yuan Venerates had come to compete for the position of the Human Ruler. Now, I finally realize how wrong I was.”

“The position of the Human Ruler is nothing to these 300 Taichu Yuan Venerates. Their most important task is to join in the fray.”

As soon as this mocking post appeared, countless posts began to flood the forums of the virtual realm.

“I agree, but I still think they came here to improve their acting skills. Otherwise, why would they have bothered?”

“Life is like a play that depends entirely on one’s acting skills. What you said makes total sense!”

“I have always respected the 300 Taichu Yuan Venerates, but after seeing their brilliant performance, I have even more respect for them!”

...

In less than a minute, the number of posts poking fun at the 300 Taichu Yuan Venerates had exploded to tens of thousands in the virtual world. Although Tianding Realm loathed connecting with the 36 Great Cosmoses in any aspect, they still needed the virtual realm.

However, the powerhouses of Tianding Realm remained silent in the face of this mockery. This wasn’t because they didn’t want to speak up, but because they didn’t know how to refute these claims.

The might of the 300 Taichu Yuan Venerates went through the roof, but in the end, they all became a laughing stock.

They even felt that the performance of the 300 Taichu Yuan Venerates was an utter disgrace.

This sort of mockery only trended for a minute or two, as most people shifted their attention back to the void where the path to the heavens was, where both Long Fantian and Luo Yunyang were frantically rushing toward the top of the bluestone path.

One would become the supreme Human Ruler after ascending the bluestone path; one would become the ultimate winner by reaching the top.

Long Fantian was very fast. Although the void where the pathway to heaven was located had been damaged, there were still leftover nomological laws so he was able to double his speed with the support of these laws.

Even though Luo Yunyang couldn’t make use of the nomological laws within the void, his speed still increased multifold due to his attribute regulator. Furthermore, thanks to the rapid recovery of his body and his increasing attributes, his speed had become much faster than ever.

Long Fantian was in the lead at the beginning, but toward the end, the gap between him and Luo Yunyang had narrowed greatly.

Some people even felt that they were already neck to neck with each other.

“Luo Yunyang, I will become the Human Ruler! Don’t even think of getting your hands on it!” A burning fire blazed in Long Fantian as he sent three palm strikes toward Luo Yunyang.

While Luo Yunyang appeared indifferent, he still fought back and accelerated while facing Long Fantian’s attack.

After all, Luo Yunyang could sense that they were not far away from the peak of the path to the heavens. Thus, instead of wasting time with Long Fantian, it was better to quickly get to the peak.

Both of them sped up after tangling with each other for a moment. As they were frantically rushing forward, the people watching the battle suddenly quietened down.

They had seen a massive blue platform exuding an unadorned simplicity at the peak of the steps made of bluestone. There were no desks or chairs on the platform, only a big seal that was roughly a foot wide and was suppressing the void.

Even the Taishi Yuan Venerates couldn’t see the big seal clearly. However, when the seal appeared, almost everyone felt reverence for it.

The seal of the Human Ruler. The seal of the Human Ruler awaited the victor at the peak!

Long Fantian’s expression became even more intense when he saw the Human Ruler’s Seal. He had put in great effort for the sake of becoming the Human Ruler and had planned for ages. Thus, no matter what, he would never give up the position of the Human Ruler.

He would never allow the position of the Human Ruler to fall into the hands of Luo Yunyang!

Luo Yunyang also accelerated frantically. Apart from the attributes that did not belong to the Speed of the Chaotic Four-Origin Beast, Luo Yunyang went on to convert all the other attributes into Speed.

Faster! Faster! Faster! Fast, fast, fast!

Luo Yunyang was using an insane level of speed to dash toward the seal of the Human Ruler. He dashed past Long Fantian and was now only a step away from the Human Ruler’s Seal!

Everyone in the 36 Great Cosmoses held their breath at that moment. They were afraid that their own breathing would distract Luo Yunyang’s struggle for the position of the Human Ruler.

In Tianding Realm, almost all the martialists were roaring in rage. Although they had always respected Long Fantian, the speed displayed by Long Fantian was undoubtedly very poor in their opinion.

Losing the Human Ruler’s position was undoubtedly unacceptable under the circumstances.

When Long Fantian looked at the seal of the Human Ruler, which was not too far away from him, the fire in his heart dimmed. He had expanded most of his secret methods and techniques and was on the verge of complete exhaustion. Under the circumstances, it was basically impossible to stop Luo Yunyang anymore.

Luo Yunyang’s speed had left him feeling utterly helpless. He had calculated everything he could, but the position of the Human Ruler would still fall into the hands of Luo Yunyang in the end.

“Ah!” A sigh was heard in a space within Tianding Realm. The sigh was peaceful but it contained a hint of disappointment.

“Long Fantian has tried his best, but his opponent is too strong. When did such a thorny figure appear in the 36 Great Cosmoses?” Yuan Venerate Flowing Sky lamented.

The other five half-step Taiyi Yuan Venerates were silent as they watched what was happening. Although their cultivation bases were impressive, they still could not stop Luo Yunyang from ascending to the peak.

“You should not feel too disappointed. It will not be easy for Luo Yunyang to command as he wishes even if he becomes the Human Ruler,” Yuan Venerate Flowing Sky said heavily. “After all, we aren’t here just for show!”

As Yuan Venerate Flowing Sky was speaking, Luo Yunyang was only a hundred paces away from the seal of the Human Ruler. For someone like Luo Yunyang, covering such a distance in one-ten-thousandth of the duration required the snap of a finger.

However, right at that moment, the seal of the Human Ruler that was floating quietly in the void suddenly acted as if it was being influenced by a mysterious force.

In a flash, it radiated a blinding brilliance that formed a huge barrier and stopped Luo Yunyang from approaching.

A hint of delight emerged on Long Fantian’s sullen face when he saw the barrier that blocked Luo Yunyang’s path.

He almost burst out laughing. “Luo Yunyang, you are one of the few powerhouses of the Human Race, but you aren’t fated to become the Human Ruler.”

“The seal of the Human Ruler has not acknowledged you. How are you going to become the Human Ruler?”

Five-colored clouds began to gather on Long Fantian’s head as he spoke. In mere moments, a patch of celebratory clouds had gathered on top of his head.

The big five-colored celebratory cloud seemed like it had a special connection with the barrier formed by the seal of the Human Ruler. In an instant, the two of them resonated and seemed to form a connection.
