Within the Three Emperors' Bulwark Nine Great Passes.
All the heaven and earth treasure mirrors simultaneously rose into the Void Realm, emitting brilliant divine light!
Then, a golden Ranking list appeared!
"Oh, the heaven and earth treasure mirror actually displayed a list on its own again."
"Did some powerful individual achieve a great merit again?"
Many Town Boundary Army soldiers and Cultivators in the Nine Great Passes were surprised.
However, upon seeing it, they were incredibly shocked, their minds buzzing.
"I'm not seeing things, am I? Third-class merit!"
"And it's not one third-class merit; it's two third-class merits!"
"This is equivalent to the merit one gets from slaying a Great Emperor-level existence among the Black Calamity Race, isn't it?"
"Who on earth is that supreme expert...?"
Everyone's gaze was fixed on the name shining with brilliant light.
Yun Clan Emperor Clan, Jun Xiaoyao!
Everyone was stunned.
Their thoughts seemed to freeze, unable to function!
The next moment, the entire Three Emperors' Bulwark Nine Great Passes trembled and boiled!
Earth-shattering!
Astounding!
Everyone thought their eyes were playing tricks on them.
But there was no mistake!
It was indeed the Yun Clan Young Master.
"This... what exactly happened? The Yun Clan Young Master achieved two third-class merits. Did he kill a Great Emperor from the Black Calamity Race?"
"Logically speaking, the heaven and earth treasure mirror absolutely cannot make such low-level mistakes. What on earth is going on?"
"Could it be some kind of misunderstanding...?"
"Or did Tianya Great Emperor personally make a move to help his descendant acquire merit?"
All sorts of guesses and discussions arose.
This was simply too incredible; the achievements were enough to blind people.
And such achievements would, without a doubt, top the merit list for the younger generation.
At Dragon Gate Pass, guarded by Hongchen Great Emperor.
Inside a luxurious hall.
Hongchen Emperor Son held a wine glass, enjoying the dance of several beautiful concubines.
In the past few months, Jun Xiaoyao had not achieved any new merits.
And there were only a few days left until the one-year agreement.
So, Hongchen Emperor Son was too lazy to acquire more merit.
He spent his days leisurely, extremely comfortable, waiting for Jun Xiaoyao to fulfill the bet.
Just then, a panicked sound suddenly came from outside the hall.
"Lord Emperor Son, something terrible has happened!"
A servant cried out.
"What's wrong? Why are you so flustered?"
Hongchen Emperor Son frowned.
He disliked being disturbed the most when he was enjoying himself.
"It's the list from the heaven and earth treasure mirror..."
The servant's face was pale, his eyes still filled with shock and disbelief.
"What's wrong with the list? Did that Jun Xiaoyao gain some merit again?"
"But it doesn't matter; he can't turn the tide now." Hongchen Emperor Son said leisurely, shaking the wine glass in his hand.
"No, Lord Emperor Son, that Yun Clan Young Master, he has topped the Prodigy Merit List!"
"And... he... he also obtained a third-class merit!"
"What did you say?!"
Hongchen Emperor Son's hand trembled, and the wine in his glass spilled onto his body.
"What are you saying? Are you making fun of this Emperor Son!"
Hongchen Emperor Son stood up.
"Lord can go and see," the servant said.
Hongchen Emperor Son's face was grim as his figure vanished into the Void Realm.
However, when he saw the list with his own eyes.
Hongchen Emperor Son was somewhat dazed.
His mind was buzzing as if it had been kicked by a donkey.
Third-class merit!
Two third-class merits!
Fourth-class merit, fifth-class merit, sixth-class merit, etc., goes without saying, even more!
"What on earth is going on? He..."
Hongchen Emperor Son's mind buzzed and vibrated, his heart felt like it was about to crack!
His face was ashen, and the veins in his temples throbbed as if they were about to explode!
Who could tell him what on earth was going on?
Previously, Jun Xiaoyao slaying a Ba Race Quasi-Emperor and obtaining a fifth-class merit was one thing.
Good heavens, now he's directly slaying Great Emperors.
In a few more days, will he even be able to slay a Mythical Emperor?
If he continues to grow, will he even be able to casually obliterate a True Immortal?
"Cheating! It must be cheating! This Jun Xiaoyao, to defeat me, actually resorted to such despicable means!"
"This Emperor Son will not admit it!"
Hongchen Emperor Son cried out, his expression flickering with coldness, as his figure vanished into the Void Realm.
He was going to East Ridge Pass to confront Jun Xiaoyao face-to-face!
Yanggu Pass.
This is the pass guarded by the Huangfu Emperor Clan's Gatekeepers.
In a mysterious Immortal Cave shrouded in mist.
The mysterious Gatekeepers's descendant from the Huangfu Emperor Clan.
Which was the cousin Huangfu Jing spoke of, sat quietly within.
His figure was enveloped in brilliant radiance, appearing extremely extraordinary and sacred.
He had also learned of Jun Xiaoyao's news.
"Third-class merit, this is merit that can only be obtained by slaying a Great Emperor-level existence."
"It's absolutely impossible for that Jun Xiaoyao to have done it himself. Perhaps he used some special means."
"However, even with some special means, trying to slay a Great Emperor-level figure is too difficult, not very realistic."
The figure murmured to himself.
A Great Emperor, as a Great Emperor, naturally has his strengths.
If one could slay them merely by relying on some special means.
Then Great Emperors would be too worthless.
It could be said that even among peers, it's not easy for one Great Emperor to kill another.
How could such a gap be bridged merely by special means?
Wouldn't that mean anyone could kill a Great Emperor with the help of means?
"If one wants to kill a Great Emperor, they at least need the strength to completely overpower a Great Emperor."
"Does that Jun Xiaoyao have such means?"
"However, it's not necessarily about slaying a Great Emperor. Perhaps he completed some very important task or objective, which could also earn him a third-class merit."
"But no matter what, Hongchen Emperor Son will likely have to suffer this loss."
"I'm actually growing more and more curious. What kind of person is Jun Xiaoyao?"
The Prodigy of the Huangfu Emperor Clan, shrouded in brilliant light, smiled faintly.
Instead, he became more interested in Jun Xiaoyao.
The entire Three Emperors' Bulwark, Nine Great Passes, trembled due to the astonishing merits Jun Xiaoyao had achieved.
Here at East Ridge Pass.
Everyone was still shaken by Jun Xiaoyao's merits.
However, the heaven and earth treasure mirror naturally also displayed the source of Jun Xiaoyao's merits.
Slaying an Imperial-level Devourer, the Scarlet Empress.
Destroying one Devourer Nest.
And also killing several King-level Devouring Races, as well as countless lower-level Devourers.
Seeing these deeds, everyone felt it was unbelievable.
"You all don't need to be surprised. In fact, it's a bit embarrassing to say."
"I merely wanted to obtain some Opportunities, so I ventured deep into the Shattered Star River and accidentally discovered this Devourer Nest."
"Originally, I just wanted to explore it, but I didn't expect there to be an Imperial-level Devourer present."
"Under duress, I could only use special means to eliminate her."
"So, this is not my true strength; I'm not that Heaven-Defying."
Jun Xiaoyao also explained a bit.
He didn't want to make the worm pupa public, so he slightly modified the story.
"So that's how it is, no wonder..."
"However, means that can casually slay a Great Emperor are too astonishing."
"Yes, even some protective Magic Treasures given by Emperor Clans can at most only be used for escape."
"To actually be able to counter-kill a Great Emperor, this..."
Although Jun Xiaoyao explained.
Everyone was still very amazed.
These Prodigies and elites from Emperor Clans or major powers would indeed be gifted some protective Magic Treasures by their elders.
But they could at most be used for self-defense, and might even be useless against a Great Emperor.
Yet Jun Xiaoyao's special means could directly resolve a Great Emperor, which was simply too rare and extraordinary.
