A youth with sharp brows and bright eyes was controlling a flying sword, slaughtering the surrounding monsters with peerless speed.

The flying sword darted about like a bolt of silver lightning. With every flash, it claimed the life of a Shadow monster.

Such unparalleled sharpness and proud confidence immediately brought a single term to the minds of the onlookers outside.

"A Sword Cultivator! The three great families actually managed to produce a Sword Cultivator!"

The current scene took the crowd by surprise, but it also brought a dawning realization.

"No wonder they dared to make a move. So they had an ace up their sleeve!"

"But a single Sword Cultivator isn’t necessarily enough to defeat the Seven Profound Sect... The Seven Profound Sect has trained Sword Cultivators before, but in the end, didn’t they all die?"

"Exactly. Sword Cultivators aren’t invincible."

"But that one who died was at the late-stage of Qi Cultivation and managed to take a Foundation Establishment Stage Demonic Fiend down with him!"

"..."

Regarding the Sword Cultivator who had emerged from the three great families, some were optimistic, while others felt he alone wasn’t enough.

But no matter what anyone thought, the strength they displayed made everyone feel that a battle between titans was bound to unfold within the Heaven-Filling Array Map.

And that was indeed the case. As Yan Chen, Han Yu, Su Lingya, Zhu Feiyu, and the others began to exert themselves, the rankings and points of Molten Fire Peak, Dharma Seal Peak, Cuixiang Mountain, and the three great families all stopped falling and began to rise against the trend.

The speed of this ascent varied. Sometimes the three great families were faster, other times Molten Fire Peak was even faster, and at still other times, it was Dharma Seal Peak that rose rapidly.

Watching their rankings climb in turn, the hearts of the onlookers associated with them were in their throats, filled with immense tension.

"Yan Chen is still so strong. His speed at slaughtering Demonic Fiends is the fastest."

"Han Yu isn’t weak either. He changed his combat style. He’s no longer just sweeping everything away with a hurricane. Instead, he’s transformed his body into flowing wind, firing off Wind Blades..."

"Don’t forget about Zhu Feiyu..."

"Su Lingya... She’s being dragged down by the disciples from Cuixiang Mountain. Those Pill Cultivators are too weak in combat; too many of them have died..."

As the points for Molten Fire Peak, Dharma Seal Peak, and the three great families continued to rise, so too did their rankings.

The debate outside over which of the three would claim first place grew increasingly fierce.

Some favored Yan Chen, whose Magical Power was immense. Like a Fire God, he casually brandished his Flame, his attacks the most domineering of all as they incinerated everything. He didn’t seem like someone at the mid-stage of Qi Cultivation, but rather a powerhouse from the late-stage.

As for Han Yu, his presence was indeed a notch below Yan Chen’s, but Dharma Seal Peak had the most disciples, and several other outstanding disciples had emerged after him.

And the three great families... Although each family individually was no match for the Seven Profound Sect, or even a single peak...

...when combined, they were stronger than any single peak of the Seven Profound Sect. Add to that the incomparably sharp Zhu Feiyu, and even more people favored them.

Just as the crowd’s debate was heating up, a sudden cry of alarm rang out.

"Wait, something’s not right!"

"Inside the Heaven-Filling Array Map, the fastest-rising team isn’t Molten Fire Peak, nor is it the three great families! It’s... Longxi Peak!"

"Huh?!"

This shout temporarily drew everyone’s attention away from Yan Chen, Han Yu, and the three great families.

At that moment, they all turned to look at the leaderboard on the celestial screen. Then, the expressions of the spectators outside turned to stunned disbelief.

Just as the person had shouted, Yan Chen’s presence was immense and Zhu Feiyu’s Sword Qi was peerless, but even with them giving it their all, the rate at which their points were increasing still couldn’t match Longxi Peak.

In fact, Longxi Peak’s points had already surpassed 6,000, which was more than double that of the second-place Molten Fire Peak!

[First Place, Longxi Peak, Points: 6,319]

[Second Place, Molten Fire Peak, Points: 2,981]

[Third Place, The Three Great Families, Points: 2,875]

[Fourth Place, Dharma Seal Peak, Points: 2,769]

[Fifth Place...]

"..."

"..."

"..."

Such points and rankings left the onlookers with complex and strange expressions. They were even a little bewildered.

"More than double Molten Fire Peak’s score... How does Longxi Peak have so many points?"

Some were puzzled, while others simply shook their heads.

"Impossible. Absolutely impossible! Longxi Peak doesn’t have anyone particularly outstanding. On what basis do they have this kind of progress!"

"Could there be a mistake?"

"There’s definitely a mistake!"
