Humans are devouring, drawing cards from all realms, starting with Yang Jian.

Chapter 162, King of the Knife River

Jiang Ming withdrew from the duel space and his consciousness returned to the spectator stands.

Although Jiang Ming seemed to win the battle against Blood Halberd King easily, he actually fought with all his might, which took a toll on his mental strength.

However, this energy expenditure was quickly recovered.

Jiang Ming glanced at his current ranking.

"256431st place" is good; it's already in the top 300,000.

Jiang Ming nodded to himself.

The competition for the title of King in Hongmeng City is fierce, with over three million available.

Without lingering, Jiang Ming rested and then applied for a match again.

For Jiang Ming, most battles were almost a foregone conclusion.

One-star and two-star opponents couldn't even last a single move against him.

Even a three-star powerhouse could only passively endure the blows and eventually have all his divine power worn away by the martial arts master's battle intuition, which was practically able to foresee the future.

Jiang Ming's ranking skyrocketed.

Two hundred thousand.

150,000.

One hundred thousand.

fifty thousand.

Thirty thousand.

Fifteen thousand.

In the spectator stands, more and more powerful figures who had reached the King level began to notice this unfamiliar name.

"King Daohe has won again."

"I've seen his fights, and his fighting instincts are terrifying. Opponents of the same level are like puppets in front of him."

"Can such a monster emerge from humans in a secret realm?"

Similar discussions arose from every corner of the spectator stands.

Although Jiang Ming's identity as a "human from the Secret Realm" led many powerful individuals to look down on him, the terrifying combat power he displayed still attracted more and more attention.

Seventh day.

Jiang Ming withdrew from the duel space, his face slightly pale.

This was the first time he had tasted defeat in the Glory Arena.

The opponent is a four-star powerhouse.

A four-star rating for Hongmeng City at least represents unparalleled combat power for those who have reached the King level.

That is a truly supreme being at the very top of the King-level, a transcendent being who can stand on equal footing with the Universe Venerable.

Faced with such an opponent, Jiang Ming didn't even have a chance to fight back.

The moment the battle began, his opponent crushed his entire divine body and soul with a single palm strike.

From beginning to end, he didn't manage to make a single move.

"The gap is too big..."

'

.

Jiang Ming took a deep breath to suppress the shock in his heart.

His current combat strength is already considered top-tier among three-star powerhouses.

But a four-star expert is on a completely different level.

That's a level that normal immortality can never reach.

The cultivation of immortal powerhouses reaches its limit at the King level, which is the upper limit of cultivation. The King level being invincible is an impossible existence that surpasses the upper limit.

Without extraordinary secret techniques, extraordinary talent, or extraordinary treasures, it is impossible to become an invincible king.

Even rarer and more precious than the Supreme Being of the Universe.

Jiang Ming's current strength is still a long way from that level.

However, Jiang Ming was not discouraged.

Failure is part of growth. And this failure also made him more clearly aware of his limits.

The defeat was just a minor episode. In the vast majority of battles, he remained the "King of the Blade River" who instilled despair in his opponents.

The rankings continue to climb.

Twelve thousand.

Eleven thousand.

Ten thousand five hundred.

Ten thousand one hundred.

When Jiang Ming defeated a three-star powerhouse ranked around 10,000, his ranking finally crossed that threshold.

10000th place.

In the plaza outside the Glory Duel Arena in Hongmeng City.

On that huge light screen, the rankings on the honor list are updated every moment.

However, the top 10,000 names will be specially marked in gold font, making them particularly eye-catching in the eyes of all spectators.

"King Daohe has advanced to the top 10,000."

Someone noticed that name.

.

"Being in the top ten thousand is enough to earn a place on the honor list. Considering his background as a human from the secret realm, it's truly remarkable that he's reached this point."

"Yes, it's already very rare for a human in the secret realm to become a King, and he actually managed to break into the top 10,000."

"Perhaps he will become the strongest immortal-level human in the secret realm."

"The strongest human in the secret realm? How is that possible? The strongest human in the secret realm are those super strong individuals who can break through innate limitations and become Venerables."

Similar discussions arose one after another in the square.

But the moment Jiang Ming's name appeared in the top 10,000 of the Glory Ranking, Silverfrost Starfield.

On a remote, medium-life-bearing planet.

Inside a magnificent and exquisite hall, a Rock Clan youth at the first level of the Eternal Star realm sat cross-legged, his consciousness connected to the virtual universe through a sensor helmet.

The sensor helmet is the worst virtual universe connection equipment, and among humans it is used by apprentices who do not have formal citizenship.

But among the Rock Clan, even if someone offered a life-bearing planet in exchange for this simple sensory helmet, very few would be willing to do so.

"After three months of cultivation, I can finally enter the virtual universe for two hours of entertainment."

The rock tribe boy thought with anticipation.

Normally, when my consciousness enters the virtual universe, everything goes black and I'm immediately inside. But this time, something different happened.

A huge golden list filled his entire field of vision.

The moment he saw the list, a message flooded his mind, letting him know what the names on the list represented.

"It's actually the Hongmeng race's list of strong individuals. I wonder if my Yan clan has any strong individuals on the list."

The boy's eyes lit up, and he couldn't help but look down the list from the top.

To the boy's disappointment, none of the ten thousand names belonged to a powerful member of the Rock Clan.

"Even the great 'Enmo Holy Clan' isn't on the list?"

The boy muttered to himself, his eyes filled with disbelief.

The Enmo Holy Clan is the superior clan of the Rock Clan, a great race worshipped by the Rock Clan. Every ten thousand years, the Silverfrost Starfield offers countless treasures to the great Enmo Holy Clan.

A thousand years ago, an envoy from the Enmo Holy Clan visited the Silverfrost Starfield, and the boy still remembers the magnificent procession of that Enmo Holy Clan member.

In his eyes, the great Enmo Holy Clan was the strongest race in the world.

When the boy scrolled to the very bottom of the list, a name caught his eye.

"King of the Blade River, ranked ten thousandth."

The boy didn't know what the name meant. He didn't know who the King of the Blade River was, only that he came from the human race.

"Humans, what a powerful race."

The boy muttered to himself, "The entire list has ten thousand names, and more than one-tenth of them are human."

The thought that the "Great Enmo Holy Clan" didn't even have a name, while the human race had so many powerful figures, gave rise to an indescribable feeling in his heart.

It's a feeling of seeing the blue sky!

The Rock Clan youth in the Silverfrost Starfield was just one example among countless low-level members of the Hong Alliance.

When the words "King of the River Blade" appeared at the top of the Glory Ranking, it resonated throughout the billions of races and countless life-bearing planets of the Hongmeng Alliance.

All the beings at the Eternal, Cosmic, and Domain Lord levels who accessed the virtual universe through rudimentary sensor helmets saw the same name on the login screen.

Daohe Wang!
