Chapter 863: Chapter 442: Impact! Dongfang Ji’s Comment (Extra Release for Monthly Votes)
The battles for the eleventh to twentieth places ended, and the top ten duels were immediately held.
Jing Kui, He Feng, Dong Pan, and the other ten contestants flew into the Void Arena.
Li Yuan was already in the hall, leisurely communicating with Yue Shan, Yang Di, and others through voice transmissions, waiting for the end of the ranking battles.
“Xu Yuan, your soul attack is indeed terrifying,” Yue Shan sighed: “During our duel just now, even though I was prepared, I still succumbed to it.”
Li Yuan couldn’t help but laugh.
In the recent 11-20 ranking battles, he had nine victories and was ranked eleventh, while Yue Shan had seven wins and two losses, ranked thirteenth.
The final ranking for Xia Ju the Demigod was twelfth.
Both of them performed no better against him than Dong Pan Semi-Divine did.
“It’s a pity, you met Yan Dong in the twenty to ten,” Yue Shan said with a smile: “Otherwise, with your soul attack, once into the top ten, you might be able to challenge for the second or even first place.”
“A loss is a loss,” Li Yuan shook his head: “Even if I hadn’t lost to Yan Dong, meeting the first place from the other groups wouldn’t necessarily mean I would win.”
Soul attack is inherently an extreme path.
“Facing Yan Dong actually exposed my weakness; it may also be a warning to me,” Li Yuan said: “One can rely on soul attack, but it should not be the only reliance; physical means are the foundation.”
He lost to Yan Dong Semi-Divine.
It was beyond Li Yuan’s expectation, but not beyond his prediction.
All these Demigod Saint Heirs possessed level 54 combat power, and except for Jing Kui, the strength gap between each other was very small. For instance, Dong Pan and Xia Ju fought hundreds of moves before determining the winner.
Similarly, Yue Shan was ranked thirteenth, but is his strength really weaker than the others in the top ten?
Therefore, it’s quite normal for Li Yuan to see one or even several Demigod Saint Heirs with extremely strong soul defense.
To achieve the eleventh place was much better than Li Yuan initially expected.
After all, whether he awakened the Nine Star Pulse or broke through to become a Demigod, it had only been a few months.
Those Demigods with Seven Star Veins who managed to reach the top hundred in the Divine Fire Hall, which one hadn’t cultivated for hundreds of years?
They are not among the top one hundred of the nine thousand Demigods in Divine Fire Hall, but the top hundred talents among the several hundred million Demigods under the command of the Jue Xing Ancient City.
If it weren’t for his soul attack method, Li Yuan estimated he would be ranked in the several hundreds.
“After this, I need to study soul defense more earnestly,” Yue Shan the Demigod said with a smile: “I think others will likely think the same.”
“Even so, once the news of this battle spreads, the top Demigods from Changqing Ancient City, Heavenly Snake Ancient City, and the Six Great Holy Lands will all spend a lot of energy to cultivate Soul Defense Secret Techniques,” Yue Shan the Demigod reflected.
Li Yuan couldn’t help but smile.
His soul attack was something many Peak of Pseudo-God powerhouses couldn’t match.
And these peerless Demigods would undoubtedly lose against Peak of Pseudo-God powerhouses, hence, most of them had no motivation to explore the Soul Path.
After all, cultivating Soul Defense Secret Techniques did not help in awakening Star Meridians or comprehending the Mysteries of the Law.
But now.
Here was an anomaly like himself! With physical attacks not strong enough, his soul attack was overly powerful.
The key is, he himself was still a Demigod!
By the time of the Ancestral Realm War, if the top Demigods from all parties do not have strong enough soul defense, they would probably be nervous facing him.
“Then study it to your heart’s content,” Li Yuan said with a smile through transmission: “You should know, I became a Demigod just a few months ago, my Soul Will is still growing rapidly, I can study even stronger Soul Secret Techniques… When the Ancestral Realm War comes, we’ll see whether your defense or my attack is stronger.”

Yue Shan was suddenly stunned.
Indeed! He had almost forgotten that Li Yuan, having become a Demigod for just a few months, was so formidable.
What about in six years? Or sixty years?
It was simply unimaginable!
“Such a freak! I don’t want to think about it anymore,” Yue Shan the Demigod shook his head: “There are at most ten Ancestral Realm Orders… my hopes of competing for them were already slim. Forget it, I’d better focus on the lesser first-rank opportunities.”
The Ancestral Realm is the origin of this world and contains the greatest secrets.
So many Demigods are eager to join the battle not only for the Ancestral Realm Orders but also because the Ancestral Realm contains many opportunities that even True Gods would covet.
“It’s almost over.”
“Jing Kui has won again,” Yue Shan said, pointing to the Void Arena, shaking his head: “Even Dong Pan’s strong defense was swiftly defeated… His strength has indeed transformed.”
“Previously, I actually wanted to see you fight Jing Kui,” Yue Shan said with a smile.
“It would be very difficult for me to win,” Li Yuan looked at the Void Arena.
Jing Kui’s strength was indeed unimaginably strong; be it Dong Pan Semi-Divine or He Feng, Yan Dong, and others, no one could last more than ten moves against him.
Of course, this was also because the duels were held on the arena where the energy contained in the Guardian Spirit Light induced by the Formation was limited; once it collapsed, one would be deemed defeated… If it were a life-and-death battle, these Demigod Saint Heirs should be able to hold on for dozens of moves.
Soon after.
The top ten duels ended, Jing Kui, Dong Pan, and He Feng were still ranked one, two, and three, similar to the ranking battle of the previous session.
Yan Dong the Demigod was only ranked ninth.
“This Demigod ranking battle has come to an end,” Chi Yang True God slowly said: “Six years from now it will be the Ancestral Realm War, hence, the ranking for the next Demigod ranking battle… will be determined by your rankings in the battle of the Ancestral Realm.”
“I hope you all cultivate diligently in the next six years.”
“Demigods may leave, Flying Heaven Reserve Members prepare to start the ranking battles.”
…
More than nine thousand Demigods gradually left the Divine Fire Hall.
“Dong Pan ranked second, yet lost to Xu Yuan who was ranked eleventh.”
“Xu Yuan, in turn, lost to Yan Dong”
“If Xu Yuan had made it to the top ten, he might have challenged for the second place.” Although many Demigods had left, their discussions did not cease.
