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

Chapter 168, 130 Trillion

After entering the top 100, Jiang Ming was unable to maintain his previous momentum of rapid advancement.

If it were some powerful figures who were infinitely close to becoming kings and invincible, it wouldn't be so bad. Although Jiang Ming might not be their match, he could almost always go toe-to-toe with them, so he wasn't without a chance of winning.

But the higher the ranking, the more likely you are to encounter truly terrifying beings.

A black line swept across the arena, seemingly splitting heaven and earth in two, cleaving the entire G9-grade metal arena in two.

Jiang Ming stood at the end of the black line, his figure splitting in two and slowly disappearing.

"King of the Blade River, defeated!"

Jiang Ming appeared in the audience somewhat bewildered.

"Is this the power of being invincible as a king?"

Jiang Ming recalled the battle at Gaoli and couldn't help but smile bitterly.

He just encountered the 37th ranked powerhouse, the Heavenly Bone King.

This is a four-star, invincible king-level expert!

This is a relatively average strong individual among those who are considered invincible in the King of Kings.

Jiang Ming was hoping to have a go at his opponent, but he was instantly killed as soon as the battle began.

"This is an invincible king-level expert who focuses on attack."

Jiang Ming thought to himself.

The defeat did not affect Jiang Ming's mood, and he continued to push for a higher ranking.

83th place.

79th place.

74th place.

68th place.

61th place.

55th place.

Jiang Ming is like a tireless fighting machine, relentlessly challenging others in the dueling space.

Outside the Glory Arena, in the plaza, more and more King-level powerhouses gathered before the massive light screen. All eyes were fixed on the name on the leaderboard that was steadily climbing—King of Blades.

"Where exactly is the limit of this River King's power?"

"I hope we won't make it into the top 50."

"Are you only concerned with his strength? Don't you think it's ridiculous that someone who relies solely on his fists calls himself the King of the Knife River?"

"What's so strange about that? There are plenty of powerful individuals in the universe whose titles don't match their actual fighting styles."

Take, for example, the True King of the Human Race. His title contains the character "Yan," but who would have thought his specialty is the unparalleled, domineering staff technique?

"That's different. The 'Yan' in True Yan King refers to the Daoist evolution contained in his staff technique, not the weapon itself."

But what about the King of the Knife River? His title clearly states "knife," yet he uses fists. Isn't that misleading?

"Misleading? Hahaha, you're right, it really is misleading."

I heard that Bloodclaw King studied hundreds of secret sword techniques and learned a method to counter them. But as soon as he stepped onto the arena, he was met with a punch that completely stunned him.

"Ha ha ha ha""

A burst of laughter erupted. For these powerful beings who had lived for countless years, this was quite an amusing incident.

As Hongmeng City trembled, the news spread to every corner of the primordial universe through various channels.

Those alien forces that were constantly monitoring intelligence about the human race received detailed reports about "King Daohe" almost simultaneously.

The Demon Realm, the Heavenly Demon Palace.

Inside a magnificent palace built from the remains of countless stars, several figures sat around a massive crystal wall. On the crystal wall, images of Jiang Ming's battles were playing repeatedly.

"Human race, born in the secret realm, codenamed Blade River King, latest ranking on the Glory Ranking is forty-second."

"Don't you think those golden flames look familiar?"

It was a powerful demon with a snake's head and a human body who spoke.

"It does look familiar; I feel like I've seen a similar secret technique before."

A deep voice answered; it belonged to a giant minotaur clad in heavy armor.

"It looks familiar too, like... the Flame Emperor's ultimate technique?"

A demon with a hawk-like head and two wings on its back said with a puzzled look.

"Emperor Yan? Didn't Emperor Yan betray the human race long ago? How could there be other human beings who know Emperor Yan's unique skills?"

The snake-headed expert looked surprised.

"I don't know, but this King Daohe knows the Flame Emperor's ultimate technique, so he's definitely related to the Flame Emperor!"

"Yes, I think so too."

"That's right."

The atmosphere in the main hall immediately became heavy.

"You mean, Emperor Yan wants to return to the human race? Is this a gesture of goodwill towards humanity? Or has Emperor Yan already returned to the human race?"

Silence fell over the main hall.

"The gains this time were greater than I expected."

Jiang Ming looked at the dense array of notifications that almost completely filled his vision, and felt satisfied.

The legendary status brought by ranking 42nd on the Glory Ranking far surpasses any previous achievement. The amount already received is already greater than the total he gained in the Peak Genius Battle—and this is just the beginning.

However, Jiang Ming didn't rush to draw the card. He suppressed his excitement and continued to browse through the notification messages. Amidst the countless messages about racial legends flooding the screen, he noticed a few that stood out from the crowd.

The golden flame technique displayed by "Your Incarnation: Blade River King" has been recognized by the Demon Clan's Heavenly Demon Palace as the Flame Emperor's ultimate technique, "Nine Forms of Burning Heaven."

"I was recognized as expected."

Jiang Ming muttered to himself, but there was no surprise in his eyes.

The Nine Forms of Burning Heaven by Emperor Yan are so unique that no other technique can be found in the entire primordial universe.

Moreover, Emperor Yan has made his move many times, and quite a few people have witnessed his methods.

It's impossible for him not to recognize it.

"I just don't know what they'll think."

A smile appeared on Jiang Ming's lips, and his mood improved considerably.

"Let's digest these legendary statuses."

With a slight thought, his consciousness touched the area shrouded in light.

boom!

The altar trembled! Light poured down like a waterfall.

Time flew by as they drew cards. One day, two days, three days passed. When the last card was drawn, countless points of light floated in the altar space. Their sheer number was so great that even Jiang Ming's consciousness couldn't see them all at a glance.

"break down."

With another thought, those useless, duplicate, and low-value cards began to be dismantled in batches.

Countless cards disintegrated like melting ice and snow, transforming into pale blue particles of light that coalesced into a boundless ocean of source energy dust. The ocean was so vast that it seemed capable of submerging the entire altar space.

Jiang Ming's consciousness swept across the ocean, yielding a number that shocked even himself.

"One hundred and thirty quadrillion."

This number was significantly higher than he had anticipated. The legendary status brought about by the widespread renown among the billions of races in the Hongmeng was indeed terrifying.

And this is just the beginning. As time goes by, the deeds of the King of the Knife River will spread wider and wider, and there will be a continuous stream of legendary points to be earned.

"Keep enough source energy dust to strengthen two enhanced Venerable Cards, and use the rest to expand your inner world."

17

With a thought, Jiang Ming began to filter cards related to the expansion of his inner world.

There are quite a few cards like this.

[Fragment of the Heart of the World]: A rare card of the World Lord level. After use, it can be integrated into the core of the world within the user's body, greatly increasing the speed and quality of the condensation of world power.

【Spatial Origin Crystal】: A rare card of the Domain Lord level. It contains pure spatial origin power, which can be absorbed by the inner world to expand the world's boundaries.

[Time Acceleration Card - Realm Lord Level]: After use, it can greatly increase the time flow rate of the inner world and accelerate the evolution of the world.

[World Expansion Card - World Lord Level]: After use, it can directly expand the diameter of the world within the body.

Similar cards are not uncommon in Jiang Ming's card collection.
