Chapter 20: Reaching the Summit of the Heavenly Tablet, Ranking Among the Strongest_3
Among them, the patriarch of the Frost Soul Sect and the current sect master, Mu Han, ranked the highest.
"It seems that Senior Mu Han has a good chance of transcending and entering sainthood in this era," Gu Chen said.
Being ranked so highly on the divine stele already proved many things.
At this moment, among the dozen or so people from the Frost Soul Sect who had come to this place, some could not wait any longer and went forward to perform the test.
With a humming sound, the divine stele released a ray of light, resplendent with divine glow and speckled rosy clouds, shining upon the body of the person being tested. At the same time, this individual exerted all their strength, aiming their peak strike towards the divine stele.
Bang!
After the strike passed, the light swirled for an instant and then quickly subsided.
The divine stele showed no change; his name did not appear on it.
Seeing this, the individual let out a soft sigh. His talent could be considered extraordinary within an influence like the Frost Soul Sect, yet he could not leave his name on it, not even displace the last-ranked person, and inevitably felt somewhat dejected for the moment.
Then, Gu Qingyan spoke out, saying, "Those who can ascend to the divine stele basically all harbor a great hope of achieving the position of the strongest under heaven and earth. How difficult it is to become a supreme being should be clear to all of us, let alone the fact that the existences on the divine stele are all monsters and proud lords from endless years past. It's only to be expected that we can't compare."
Subsequently, more people from the Frost Soul Sect stepped forward, but none could leave their name on it.
Because, based on documents researched by the Frost Soul Sect, it was estimated that even the sons and daughters of holy lands would find it difficult to rank at the bottom, highlighting the challenge.
Only those with peerless talent who dominate a region, fitting to be at the forefront, and able to oppress billions of beings in a world could leave their own mark on the divine stele.
Otherwise, for anyone else, it might not be possible to achieve a hundred percent success.
From this, one could see how truly prestigious this divine stele was.
Soon, that silent and reticent "backup" sent by Mu Han stepped forward; having come to the Extreme Ice Island, he was naturally not going to give up the chance to leave his name on the divine stele.
Boom!
This person was indeed extraordinary. When he demonstrated his strength, everyone from the Frost Soul Sect was shocked, not expecting him to possess such prowess.
Swoosh!
In an instant, the divine stele burst forth with brilliant radiance, and a name at its very bottom was replaced, leaving a blank spot!
"Quick, go leave your name!" the people of the Frost Soul Sect exclaimed, eyes shining, urging him on.
Ultimately, he went forward and carved his own name, which was "Mo Bai."
"It's said that if one can rank within the top hundred on the divine stele, one could receive a reward from the great beyond. Young Master Gu, don't you want to give it a try?" At that moment, Lu Mingyue looked towards Gu Chen.
Upon hearing this, everyone turned to look at him, eager to see how he would rank on the divine stele.
Even Mo Bai, who had just carved his name at the very bottom of the stele, felt the same way.
He too wanted to see the gap between himself and Gu Chen.
At this time, Gu Chen glanced at Gu Qingyan, and seeing his younger sister full of anticipation, Gu Chen smiled faintly and stepped forward to stand before the divine stele.
Hum!
In an instant, the divine stele cast a beam of light, shining on Gu Chen who felt his entire being become clear and transparent.
Boom!
The next moment, Gu Chen's aura surged as he circulated his ultimate combat power, forming a fist seal and ferociously striking at the stele!
Thud!
A thunderous sound shook heaven and earth, the divine stele trembled, and a boundless divine radiance appeared. Nectar rained down from the sky, golden lotuses sprung from the earth, immortal mists shone brightly, flashing in the heavens above and the earth below!
"This..."
Witnessing this scene, everyone's faces changed with awe, blood pumped with shock, and they stared unblinkingly at the divine stele.
Around them, as Gu Chen unleashed his strike, various extraordinary phenomena appeared, too astonishing and resplendent for the eyes to follow.
Soon after, a beam of light emerged from the stele, with a whoosh, it leapt from the bottom to the very top position!
"Heavens... what is that..."
Seeing this, everyone from the Frost Soul Sect was dumbfounded, overwhelmed with astonishment.
"Against all odds, ranked first? He actually ranked first?!"
At the next moment, an unparalleled chorus of exclamation erupted, as the Frost Soul Sect members stood stunned; the extraordinary phenomenon that rocked the heavens and the earth emerged and completely engulfed the area!
