The battle among the elite is a contest of destiny and strength. Some, who were once penniless, have obtained extraordinary inheritances, thus greatly increasing their power. Others have found unparalleled treasures, becoming invincible and unrivaled.

In short, the second round of competition is a place where risks and opportunities coexist. With enough luck, a significant increase in strength is not a pipe dream.

Of course, compared to the lucky ones who greatly increased their strength, many more perished. The fighting was everywhere, unavoidable even if one wanted to; this is what it means to be caught in the crossfire. Only the elite survived the great sifting of the sands.

After Xiu Qiyu and Yi Ruowu parted ways, they walked straight in one direction, killing several demons and aliens along the way and gaining some points from them. Their ranking was finally not so bad, but it was still not optimistic. At this rate, it was impossible for them to make a name for themselves on the Heavenly Ranking.

Jing Li is currently ranked fifth, not far behind the top few. The current number one is a human named Zhan Changtian, with a robust physique, his bare upper body a mass of muscle, exuding a beautiful aura, and carrying a large, black sword on his back. Zhan Changtian is a disciple of the Zhan clan, possessing unparalleled physique and exquisite swordsmanship; each strike requires only a single blow, leaving his opponents with a myriad of bizarre and varied deaths.

Some blades were sliced ​​in half like watermelons, others were cut in half at the waist, and still others were torn to shreds by the blade's energy, leaving a trail of blood and gore. Some were chopped into chunks, the size depending on his mood; if he didn't like something, he'd cut it into braised pork, and if he liked it, he'd carve it into lion's head meatballs. No one was yet qualified to make him make a second cut, and no one could discern his true cultivation level. However, it was estimated that he was at least in the late stage of the Nascent Soul realm. His blade strikes were controlled with perfect ease and fluidity, and his aura was unstoppable. No one disagreed with Zhan Changfeng's ranking as number one. He simply robbed those points; he would collect any rare and precious materials he encountered, and wouldn't deliberately seek them out if he didn't. The points from the alien races and demons were all his.

The second-ranked being was an alien race member named Mu Feng. He had gathered a group of alien followers who went to search for rare treasures or intercept humans and demons, so he rarely had the chance to fight himself. When his underlings encountered humans, they disregarded their status as experts, picking and choosing their opponents before ganging up on them. Many human prodigies died at their hands, filled with resentment and frustration. The remaining human prodigies had no choice but to form groups to fight against the alien race.

The onlookers were furious at Mu Feng's behavior, calling him a despicable and shameless scoundrel. However, it cannot be denied that Mu Feng held a high position among the alien races and possessed formidable strength; otherwise, so many alien prodigies wouldn't be willing to risk their lives for him.

The third-ranked woman was Yu Kou, dressed in light pink with bare, jade-like feet. She looked like a girl next door. Her anklets, strung with red silk threads, made her jade-like feet appear even more perfect.

A closer look reveals that Yu Kou's feet never touch the ground, yet her speed is astonishing, like a gust of wind. Often, before her opponents can even see her movements, they are shredded into fragments by that seemingly gentle, invisible wind, turning into showers of blood that fly through the air without exception. This pale pink, seemingly harmless little girl has become a nightmare for many.

Like Zhan Changfeng, Yu Kou also specifically targeted demons and other races, her seemingly harmless and cute face deceiving countless enemies. Of course, if anyone foolishly saw her alone and quite beautiful and tried to do something to her, their fate was often tragic.

The fourth was a demon with an effeminate appearance, who was like a murderous maniac, killing anyone he saw, whether human, other races, or even his own kind. In his hands, there was only one word: death. Even nascent souls would be mercilessly crushed and refined by him.

The onlookers couldn't really judge such a person; they just hoped he'd run into a tough opponent soon and get killed. Unfortunately, given his strength, even Zhan Changfeng might not be able to save his life.

Fifth place goes to Jing Li, the master of the Pill King Palace. Jing Li's full strength has yet to be revealed; those who come to rob him are easily robbed of their points, not even sparing their storage rings. If anyone harbors murderous intent, he simply whips them to death, sending them to their next life. What leaves countless people speechless is not Jing Li's strength, but his luck. The rulers of the continent's top powers are all over two hundred years old, making Jing Li undoubtedly the oldest among humans, yet his luck is simply phenomenal.

They found an egg, along with its nest, and the points they gained were blindingly high. Add to that Jing Li's inherently weak and pathetic aura, and wave after wave of people kept coming to give him points. How come no one saw through his true colors? Were these idiots in cahoots?

Furthermore, as the master of the Pill King Palace and the youngest King-level alchemist on the continent, Jing Li has a thorough understanding of the properties of various spiritual herbs. He can easily find them by referring to the environment. As for guardian beasts or anything like that, a Transformation Pill will make them scurry away without saying a word, leaving Jing Li to pick the spiritual herbs.

Judging from this momentum, it's not impossible for Jingli to reach the top.

The sixth place is another alien race. Its prototype is a half-tiger human. It is quite brutal. The most disgusting thing is that this guy actually eats his opponents raw. Its favorite food is humans. At most, it will break the neck of demons and throw them aside, but humans are treated as food by this guy and eaten in large quantities. It makes people feel disgusted.

Of the top ten, five are humans, three are alien races, and two are demons. Overall, humans still have the upper hand, and their top combat power can overwhelm both alien and demon races. However, humans have to fight against both demons and alien races simultaneously. Both alien and demon races wish to exterminate humans, so the top combat power of both sides is barely equal.

As for the ensuing melee, many died on all three sides. The individual strength of the alien races was formidable, slaughtering numerous isolated humans. More and more rare and precious treasures were discovered, and in this bloody trial, the strength of all who survived was greatly enhanced. Naturally, their mental state also improved significantly, their Dao hearts becoming incredibly firm. Those who could persevere to the end were destined for greatness.

It took a lot of effort, but Zishu managed to wear down the alien race member. Even the final self-destruction was blown away by Zishu, leaving the alien with its eyes wide open in death.

It's a pity, he's completely dead. Otherwise, we could have studied the alien's body properly and made some kind of deadly poison.
