Compared to the disappointment of the Azure Dragons, the Nine-Headed Lions were celebrating.
Xin Ba was clearly claiming the first place.
Today was really the auspicious day for their Nine-Headed Lion race.
Their young master, Xin Ba, was truly the hope of their race returning to the immortal domain.
“My son did not disappoint our race after all!” Lion King Xin Teng laughed heartily, and the elders could not close their mouths in laughter too.
Xin Ba stood tall in the center of attention. He was wearing golden armor. Coupled with his long golden hair, he looked as if he was cast from gold, noble and remarkable.
That mighty and domineering figure emitted golden light under the sunlight.
A confident smile remained on his face as if he were invincible. His eyes were focused on the Heavenly Dao Rankings as he waited for the moment of glory that belonged to him.
He waited for the Heavenly Dao Rankings to honor him with the phenomenon of the heavens and the earth and the additional reward that belonged to the first place.
Today, he, Xin Ba, was the most dazzling prodigy in the world. Even the human Li Yu was not worthy of competing with him.
At the same time, countless human cultivators and members of the various demon races held their breaths as they stared at the Heavenly Dao Rankings.
They were also curious about who the top young demon was.
They were even more curious about whether the Demon Sons of Heaven Rankings would hide the cultivation level and rewards.
Would another phenomenon appear? Would he obtain additional rewards?
At this moment, a golden light flourished on the Heavenly Dao Rankings. Rows of golden light gathered at the top of the Demon Rankings, and rows of golden characters condensed.
Demon Rankings #1: Xin Ba
Cultivation: Mahayana Middle Stage
Origin: Nine-Headed Lion Race
Reward: Enlightenment and Aptitude increase by 400%, Soul Strength increases by 400%, Purity of Bloodline increases by 90%.
The phenomenon many expected did not occur.
The announcement of the first on the Demon Rankings seemed to be the same as the previous geniuses. There was nothing special about it.
There were no additional rewards or concealed cultivation levels.
Upon seeing this, the various Holy Lands and human cultivators could not help but smile.
Apparently, it was not the special treatment given to the top of the rankings, but it was only given to Li Yu by the Heavenly Dao.
The worldly phenomenon, the concealing of cultivation level and awards, the additional reward.
All of this was exclusive to Li Yu and not for anyone in the top spot.
This was rather intriguing.
Was Li Yu’s cultivation level really unknown? Or is he too powerful that the Heavenly Dao Rankings are intentionally concealing the fact?
In that case, the secret reward must be shocking and distinct from the rest.
Moreover, the Heavenly Dao Rankings bestowed an additional reward to Li Yu, and it even gave such a miraculous and auspicious phenomenon.
All these signs pointed out that Li Yu’s uniqueness was not only due to his incredible power level. Perhaps everything about him was unthinkable, to begin with.
At the thought of this, the human cultivators relieved their repressed emotions and heavy hearts.
Although the elites on the Demon Rankings were generally better than most humans on the Human Rankings, Li Yu alone was enough to surpass all the geniuses of the demon race.
Li Yu’s greatness was something not a single elite of the demon race could compare.
“Hahaha, the Nine-Headed Lions are probably still waiting for the natural phenomenon and additional rewards!”
“Ha. We thought that was the special treatment for the top. I believe the demons think so too. I’m afraid they’re disappointed!”
“Looks like Li Yu is really something else!”
“My curiosity is piqued. I really want to know who Li Yuis.”
“That’s right, this kid is definitely not an ordinary human. I really hope to see the man himself one day!”
“Yep. I just don’t know where the Qingyun Sect is and who Li Yu is. Logically speaking, such an extraordinary person should have been well known long ago, so how could no one know about him!?”
“He probably didn’t come out of secrecy, so no one knows about it naturally. He might not even be sixty years old!”
“speaking of which, it’s fortunate that the human race has a prodigy like Li Yu. Otherwise, the demon race would have really stolen the limelight this time!”
“Hehe, I really want to see the expressions of the demons from the Nine-Headed Lion race. It must be exciting!”
At the moment, the atmosphere in the Nine-Headed Lion’s territory was indeed a little strange. Their Young Master had clearly obtained the top position on the rankings, and it was supposed to be a joyous occasion for the entire race.
However, the young master’s expression was so dark that it was somewhat terrifying, Even the Lion King and the elders had grim faces.
They did not know whether to congratulate their young master or keep quiet. In short, they looked at each other with strange expressions.
They knew it was all because the situation of Young Master’s top position was very different from the human Li Yu.
What is so special about this little Li Yu? Why did he have a phenomenon to welcome his top position? And he can even obtain an additional reward? Is the Heavenly Dao favoring humans?
Xin Ba’s two blond eyebrows were pressed together as he looked at the Demon Rankings that had already been finalized with disappointment. He could not accept this outcome.
Although he had clinched the first place on the rankings, he could not cheer up at all.
The difference between him and Li Yu was simply the difference between the heavens and the earth.
Li Yu had a natural phenomenon’s welcome and an additional reward. While his reception was ordinary, which severely damaged his pride.
Xin Ba was not alone. Lion King Xin Teng and the rest of the elders had complicated feelings too. They had not expected the outcome either.
How could the top of the human race be so different from the top of the demon race?
Comparisons were the worst. If the Human Rankings did not stand out, they would probably be overjoyed.
However, in comparison, it made Xin Ba’s top spot seem no different from the 100th place.
More importantly, this proved that this human, Li Yu, was indeed something special.
The thought that the Heavenly Dao Rankings were biased never came into their mind, and there could only be one reason why Li Yu was given such treatment.
Li Yu was different from all the other geniuses on the rankings, and he was countless times more outstanding than all of them.
This was still unbelievable.
The humans might have a Human Sovereign in the making!
Lion King Xin Teng was shaken up. Thinking back to the phenomenon and auspicious scene, he increasingly felt that his guess was not far off.
Only the Human Sovereign was worthy of such a phenomenon.
He once thought that the decline of the human race would usher in the era of the demon race’s hegemony. Yet, he never expected that a Human Sovereign would be born.
Is this going to change the big picture again? Is the human race going to prosper again?
At the moment, Dragon King Long Tiancang and the various demon races had the same idea as Lion King Xin Teng. They were all feeling heavy-hearted.
With the emergence of such an extraordinary genius, the human race would likely shine in this era again.
