“It seems that the Genius Excellence Rankings encompasses a wider range of age, and it’s not ranked according to cultivation level.”
Emperor Hengyun instantly became the center of attention. Although many in the Great Luo Holy Region had not heard of this new emperor, the various large factions in the Huaxia continent knew of the new emperor’s name.
It was not surprising that he could enter the rankings.
The happiest ones at the moment were those from the Heavenly Fate Dynasty and the Lu Family.
“Great news! His Majesty is on the rankings!” The officials of the Heavenly Fate Dynasty were animated.
At this moment, two words surfaced on the ranking again: “Elegance Exhibition.”
Immediately, the entire sky seemed to transform into a giant screen, and a video feed surfaced clearly.
It featured the main hall of the imperial palace of the Heavenly Fate Dynasty, a man with an imposing appearance wearing a prestigious royal tassel crown and a dragon robe.
He set his sights on the civil and military officials and said in a powerful voice, “The emperor uses the ears and eyes of the world as his eyes and ears, and the thoughts of the world as his mind. Why would he worry about not understanding the world?”
This person was Emperor Hengyun, and this scene was taken from the moment right after he ascended to the throne.
“Is this the new emperor of the Heavenly Fate Dynasty?”
“He does have an extraordinary bearing!”
“You’re right. He seems like a wise ruler!”
“The first to enter the ranking is already an emperor. I’m looking forward to the rest!”
“This Heavenly Dao Rankings is a wonder itself. It can display one’s bearing on the rankings so clearly.”
“As expected of our emperor. His magnificence is unmatched!”
Countless people looked at the scene in the sky in awe.
Suddenly the video in the sky changed abruptly. The scene switched to an ancient forest, and the world-shaking audios of fighting resounded.
In the middle of the picture, the imposing man in the dragon robe suddenly became a… Tree-Man?4
Half of his face was exposed outside the tree trunk. It was still possible to recognize that he was Emperor Hengyun!
“Eh?
Inan instant, everyone looking at the Excellence Rankings was shocked.
The style of Emperor Hengyun became a little exaggerated.
He was still that remarkable, dignified, and emperor-like figure a moment ago.
In the next second, he became a strange half-human half-tree.
It seemed like the wooden stakes had become sentient. It had two legs, an arm, and half a face.
He walked like a penguin, swaying slightly clumsily. He looked a little pitiful yet comical.
“How… How did His Majesty become like this?!” Everyone from the Heavenly Fate Dynasty was stunned as they looked at Emperor Hengyun in the video image in disbelief, momentarily dumbfounded.
Of course, countless people watching the Excellence Rankings were also dumbfounded.
“How did Emperor Hengyun become a block of wood!”
“Is he a tree demon?” Someone guessed.
“How is that possible? That background clearly says ‘human.’ He must have been struck by some demonic technique and turned into a block of wood!” someone refuted.
“speaking of which, Emperor Hengyun looks a little miserable. My heart aches just looking at hit
“Yeah, forgive me for my unkind laugh, hahaha…”1
“Mom, that wooden man in the sky looks so funny!” On the street, a little girl shopping with her mother looked at the scene in the sky in surprise.
“silly girl, that’s not a wooden man. That’s a demon. If you misbehave, that demon will come and catch you!” her mother cautioned.
“Really?” The little girl seemed excited.3
Inside the Clear Void Holy Land, the disciples looked at the scene in the sky with odd expressions. They felt like laughing but did not find it appropriate.
“From the looks of it, it’s the Lingtian Mystic Realm. Emperor Hengyun and the others are surrounded and attacked by tree demons!”
“Yeah, there are so many tree demons. The Lingtian Mystic Realm is indeed filled with danger. And they have only entered not long ago!”
“Perhaps Emperor Hengyun was struck by some kind of demon technique from the tree demon and got like this!”
“Tm afraid the entire world knows that Emperor Hengyun has been inflicted with this unspeakable demonic technique!”
At the moment, through the image, they could vaguely see the tree demons attacking the group from the Heavenly Fate Dynasty.
Therefore, everyone believed that Emperor Hengyun and the others had been attacked by tree demons.
“What has Emperor Hengyun been through?” Li Yu wanted to laugh as he looked at the image in the air.
He was curious about how Emperor Hengyun had gotten like this. The Excellence Rankings had become his death scene socially.
Meanwhile, in the Lingtian Mystic Realm.
Emperor Changyun never knew he was already on the Excellence Rankings. And how could he know that he had no face left in society?
He was currently jumping around in the forest anxiously. He could only watch his side stuck in a tough battle, as he could do nothing. He could only worry.
At this critical juncture, Lu Hongcheng and the rest of the Lu family finally arrived.
They quickly joined the battle and instantly changed the situation, killing most of the tree spirits.
Emperor Hengyun heaved a sigh of relief when he saw Lu Hongcheng and the others helped out. He approached them in jubilation.
However, at this moment, an expert at the Profound Void Martial Stage from the Lu family suddenly descended from the sky and shouted, “Audacious tree demon, take this!”
With a stern yelling, a gigantic sword beam carrying the power to split the sky and earth slashed down.
Emperor Hengyun had yet to recover from his injuries, and it was already difficult for him to move in his current state, let alone dodge that sword..3
