Chapter 3442 - First On The Devata Realms’ Heavenly Emperors Ranking

"First place."

Wei Qi, Zhang Tian You, Wang Ting, and the navy-clad young man were stunned speechless by Duan Ling Tian's declaration. They thought he was crazy.

"How unrealistic!" Zhang Tian You, who was the first to regain his senses, could not help but say sarcastically, "I guess you really don't know anything about the participants of the Devata Realms' Battle Of Geniuses, do you? If there are 2,000 participants from all Devata Realms, this means each Devata Realm has less than 30 participants. Only the most talented geniuses under the age of 1,000 will participate in the Devata Realms' Battle of the Geniuses. Even those who live in seclusion will participate because the reward is too tempting. Moreover, apart from the reward, the winner will be allowed entry into the Title Temple's secret room of laws that has been around since ancient times to cultivate in there. Since the laws and their profundities exist in the form of energy in the secret room of laws, how much one improves depends on how much energy one is able to absorb. This is much easier compared to the usual way one comprehends the law. Therefore, the Title Temple guards this place tightly. Even those in the Title Temple aren't allowed to enter as they please. Only those rare geniuses are allowed entry. In the past, winners were not given permission to enter the secret room of the laws. Despite the rewards that included rare treasures, not many would participate in the Devata Realms' Battle of the Geniuses. Therefore, to arouse the interest of talented individuals, the temple decided to grant entry to the secret room of laws to the winner of the battle. Needless to say, it's a success. Due to the secret room of the laws, many talented geniuses under the age of 1,000 are keen to participate in the Devata Realms' Battle of the Geniuses."A hint of fear could be seen in his eyes as he continued to say, "You won't be able to imagine what it's like when all these talented geniuses gather under one roof. 30% of the participants are like me; they're Celestial Emperors under the age of 1,000 with strength comparable to a titled Celestial Emperor. Participants like Wang Ting and He Jian Yi are only here to join the fun and gain experience. If they're lucky and make it into the top 1,000, they'll receive consolation prizes as well…" After he finished speaking, he looked at Wang Ting and the navy-clad young man whose name was He Jian Yi.

Zhang Tian You continued to solemnly say, "The participants for the Devata Realms' Battle of the Geniuses… Let me tell you, those who can make it into the top 100 can defeat He Jian Yi with just a strike in under 10 breaths. Even I, Zhang Tian You, the top genius of the Mystic Sword Sect can only hope to rank in the top 500, but you dare to confidently say you want to rank first? You must be dreaming. Put aside the person who ranks first, those in the top 30 can defeat me within three moves. I'm afraid I won't even be able to endure a single blow from those in the top 10."

Based on Zhang Tian You's words, it was obvious he had done his research.

Wang Ting and He Jian Yi subconsciously nodded in agreement as they listened to Zhang Tian You's analysis.

"Seeing how you dare to say you want to rank first, you must not have done any research at all on the previous Devata Realms' Battles of the Geniuses," Zhang Tian You looked at Duan Ling Tian disdainfully and said, "My strength is comparable to a new titled Celestial Emperor or a One Star God of War in the Nine Serenities Battlefield. During the previous Devata Realms' Battle Of The Geniuses, the top 500 participants were at least One Star Gods of War; the top 300 participants were at least Two Star Gods of War; the top 100 were at least Three Star Gods of War; the top 30 were at least Four Star Gods of War; the top 10 were at least Five Star Gods of War. As for the previous champion, he was the true disciple of the Heavenly Emperor of the Limitless Cloud Heaven. He was a top Five Star God of War. After 1,000 years, he had just recently risen to a Six Star God of War. You have no idea how strong a Six Star God of War who's not even 2,000 years old is…"

Duan Ling Tian remained mostly indifferent as he listened to Zhang Tian You's words until he heard about the Six Star God of War who was not even 2,000 years old. He recalled that Xu Ya Si, his Eldest Senior Sister in the Heavenly Pool Palace, was also a Six Star God of War under 2,000 years old. This meant Xu Ya Si was comparable to the previous champion of the Devata Realms' Battle of the Geniuses.

During the journey to the Heavenly Palace of the Primeval Heaven, Duan Ling Tian's master, Feng Qing Yang, had mentioned the previous champion of the Devata Realms' Battle of the Geniuses. Therefore, he knew that the outstanding person was also the true disciple of the Heavenly Emperor of the Limitless Cloud Heaven.

Duan Ling Tian had also learned from Feng Qing Yang that the Heavenly Emperor of the Limitless Cloud Heaven was ranked first in the Devata Realms' Heavenly Emperors ranking. He was someone who had confirmed his godhood.

After listening to Zhang Tian You's words, Duan Ling Tian was once reminded about how remarkable Xu Ya Si was. 'It seems like Eldest Senior Sister must have had some fortuitous encounters… Otherwise, it's impossible for her to become so strong regardless of how talented she is!'

Wei Qi thought Duan Ling Tian doubted Zhang Tian You's analysis since Duan Ling Tian remained silent for such a long time. Hence, he said, "Junior Brother Duan, his analysis is quite objective. There are many outstanding geniuses who usually keep to themselves participating in the Devata Realms' Battle of the Geniuses. Let alone us, even my master hasn't been to the secret room of laws… It'd be amazing being granted entry to the secret room of laws…"

"Senior Brother Wei Qi, have you participated in the Devata Realms' Battle of the Geniuses?" Duan Ling Tian asked curiously.

"Unfortunately, no," Wei Qi shook his head and said with a sigh, "Everyone only has one chance to participate. When the Battle of the Geniuses was held during my time, I was only slightly over 200 years old. However, even if I were a Celestial Emperor with strength comparable to a titled Celestial Emperor, it'd still be difficult for me to enter the top 1,000…"

I wasn't lucky… Everyone only has a chance to participate in the Devata Realm Battle Of The Geniuses in their lifetime. When the Devata Realm Battle Of The Geniuses was held during the time I was qualified to participate, I was only slightly over 200 years old. Of course, before 1,000 years old, my cultivation level had reached the Celestial Emperor level and was comparable to a titled Celestial Emperor. However, just as Zhang Tian You mentioned earlier… even if I had participated in the Devata Realm Battle Of The Geniuses at that time, it's hard to even make it into the top 1,000."

Duan Ling Tian smiled and said, "However, Senior Brother Wei Qi, your current achievements should've surpassed those participants who ranked in the top 10 in the previous Devata Realms' Battle of the Geniuses, right? Perhaps, only a few of them are a match for you…"

Wei Qi smiled when he heard Duan Ling Tian's words. "I'm only lucky because I have a great and responsible master. It's true that half of the participants who ranked in the top ten in the previous Devata Realms' Battle of the geniuses and are still alive today aren't a match for me. The remaining are on par with me, and the strongest among them is now a Heavenly Emperor of a Devata Realm who's, needless to say, much stronger than me. A lot of people are extraordinary before reaching the age of 1,000, and their progress would slow down after. There are also those who are ordinary during their first 1,000 years but improve tremendously later due to some fortuitous encounters. All in all, the possibilities are endless. Junior Brother Duan, even if your ranking is mediocre, under Junior Uncle Feng's tutelage, you'll definitely be outstanding. It's entirely possible for you to attain godhood as well…" He looked at Duan Ling Tian knowingly when he mentioned the matter of attaining godhood.

Based on the way Wei Qi looked at him, Duan Ling Tian knew Wei Qi must be aware that his master had already attained godhood. In the end, he shook his head and said with a smile, "It seems like Senior Brother Wei Qi has no confidence in me as well."

"Junior Brother Duan, don't take this wrongly. It's just that you might be too ambitious. It's not as easy as you think to rank first in the Devata Realms' Battle of the Geniuses. Moreover, this time, the Title Temple is putting up the Exploding Element Celestial Fruit, a peerless Celestial Fruit, as a reward. This means they're confident that the geniuses representing them will win. Otherwise, they wouldn't have put up such a precious fruit as a reward. It's likely the geniuses representing them are at least top Five Star or Six Star Gods of War."
