When long-repressed ambitions are finally unleashed.

People can go insane.

The excitement, the thrill, when it rushes to the brain with hot blood.

Can make one lose judgment, filled with courage.

On a normal day, Cold Nelson would have thought more cautiously.

But now, he feels he possesses supreme power, capable of utterly defeating his opponent!

All enemies, before him, are as insignificant as ants trying to shake a tree!

"Hold on!"

Just as Cold Nelson was about to have Sutton take down that 'imposter Saint Lord'.

An elder stepped out from the crowd.

"As the Sect Leader of the Gate of Heaven and Earth, a martial arts family with a history spanning a thousand years, which has produced famous individuals in the past. With the Sky Ranking opening today, I dare not forget the ancestral teachings and wish to take this opportunity to challenge the masters of the Ten Thousand Mountain Alliance."

The elder had an air of immortality, donned in a gray robe, commanding respect without anger.

"Gate of Heaven and Earth? I think I've heard of them, but I can't recall now."

"Back when martial arts were flourishing, the Gate of Heaven and Earth was indeed famous. The sect leader Yarden Martinez was a genius, who unified the martial arts scene in the southwest at the age of one hundred and seventy, almost claiming the top spot."

"Then why are they silent now? The southwest martial arts scene is flourishing, haven't heard of the Gate of Heaven and Earth lately. Are you exaggerating your affiliation?"

"Bullshit! Back then, Yarden Martinez's ambitions got the better of him, and he challenged the Saint Lord during the Ten Thousand Mountain Alliance's assembly, only to be beaten to death. Since then, the Gate of Heaven and Earth has kept a low profile, biding their time! Look, it's revenge time!"

"So that's what happened. I didn't expect the old guy to have an ulterior motive. This Sky Ranking competition seems extraordinary today."

The Sky Ranking opens, a grand gathering of martial arts elites!

This year is unlike any other, everyone with status is participating, aiming to claim this honor in the first year after the Ten Thousand Mountain Alliance's collapse!

The martial arts world is about to undergo a reshuffle, that's a certain outcome.

Furthermore, those ranked at the top can live hundreds more years!

Hundreds of years!

Humanity, since the first recorded martial artists, spans only over five thousand years.

Civilization from over five thousand years ago has long been destroyed.

No one knows.

Yet within these five thousand years, they've been edging closer to righteous enlightenment!

Living a few more hundred years, who knows if one might encounter a new opportunity, gaining immortal life?

With time, comes infinite possibilities.

This is also why many believe the Saint Lord is not powerful.

Anyone living that long could become first in the world.

Of course, the matter of effort deciding the lower limit and talent deciding the upper limit, many still haven't realized.

"You? Just you? See my men below! I don't care what nonsense Gate of Heaven and Earth you are, dare oppose my Ten Thousand Mountain Alliance, and I'll destroy your entire clan!" Cold Nelson shouted frantically.

He is now the Saint Lord, with a word, he can determine a person's life or death!

He revels in this feeling!

To hold sway over the world's beings!

Is this what it means to be a King?

"The rules of the Dusty Platform, even the Ten Thousand Mountain Alliance must observe them."

At this moment.

From the highest point of the stands, someone spoke.

"Who dares interfere with me?" Cold Nelson looked up, eyeing the five monks seated above.

"Just you lot?"

He thought it laughable.

The Ten Thousand Mountain Alliance, there's someone daring to obstruct!

"Saint Lord Nelson, please be aware. This is the Dusty Platform, not the Ten Thousand Mountain Alliance. Since you are here, you must follow the rules. The Dusty Platform has already made exceptions, allowing your clash here. However, as the Sky Ranking is imminent, we hope for your cooperation."

The voice of a monk boomed like a bell!

Directly causing a sharp pain in Cold Nelson's head!

As if it's splitting open!

"You..." He angrily extended his hand, pointing at the five monks, just about to lash out.

"Saint Lord, at this moment, do not offend the Dusty Platform. If you act rashly, you'll be against the entire world. Now is not the time."

"Wait until we consolidate all the forces of the Ten Thousand Mountain Alliance, then seize control of the Wolf Cavalry. By that time, anyone disobedient can be eliminated directly!"

Cold Nelson's strategist quickly devised plans, advising him to remain calm.

Perhaps as Cold Nelson's fervor cools a bit, he looked resentfully at the five monks on the high platform, then glanced at the imposter Saint Lord across, sneering: "Fine! I'll let this impostor witness, let him live a bit longer!"

This confidence stems from the strength of the Ten Thousand Mountain Alliance.

Cold Nelson is a member of the Ten Thousand Mountain Alliance, having witnessed Julius Reed's era of dominance with his own eyes!

Though times have changed, the Ten Thousand Mountain Alliance suffered divisions, yet Cold Nelson believes that under his notification, the Ten Thousand Mountain Alliance will surely grow stronger!

He isn't a formidable as Sutton.

Yet Cold Nelson firmly believes, no matter how powerful someone is, won't they work for him?

For now, he remains alive, and that's enough!

"The Dusty Platform has its rules! The Sky Ranking will be the most authoritative ranking in the world! Anyone stepping onto the Dusty Platform must abide by everything here!"

The monk spoke slowly.

His tone brooked no doubt.

"Anyone not following the rules will be eliminated by us," another monk spoke.

As he opened his eyes, surprisingly, there were no pupils in his sockets.

Moreover, these five individuals, one by one, were emaciated.

It seemed a gust of wind could blow them off the high platform.

Yet no one dared underestimate these monks.

Except for Cold Nelson, who had just secured the throne.

"Gavin Martinez of the Gate of Heaven and Earth wishes to witness the Ten Thousand Mountain Alliance's skills!" The elder leapt forward, landing directly in the ring's center.

Sutton and his followers withdrew, gradually leaving the platform.

Clang!

Suddenly.

The platform began to tremble.

Numerous gaps appeared.

The deceased bodies from battle were all swallowed by the huge gaps into a deep pit.

Then.

It closed again.

Though the severed limbs were gone, the scent of blood lingered.

However, a strange scene occurred once more.

The stones seemed to have suction, almost instantly absorbing the blood.

On the platform, it looked brand new.

The whole time.

Gavin Martinez stood on a sword, floating in the air.

This is the pinnacle among Great Grandmasters!

Unity of Heaven and Man!

To rise into the air.

The limits of human power!

He continually released spiritual power to overcome his own gravity.

The inspiration for rockets originated from these top martial artists.

There is no such thing as imagination from nothing in this world.

"Does anyone from the Ten Thousand Mountain Alliance dare accept?" Gavin Martinez looked up, glancing towards the Ten Thousand Mountain Alliance.

"Being the first to compete is the least advantageous. If you want a good ranking, how many people will you have to fight? It seems the Davis family truly holds a grudge against the Ten Thousand Mountain Alliance! Right off the bat, they want revenge."

"When it comes to the best place for revenge, there really is none more fitting than here. The Dusty Platform has its rules, and even if the Ten Thousand Mountain Alliance had thousands of troops, they could only send one person."

"Moreover, if the Ten Thousand Mountain Alliance doesn't have experts, it's likely the Gate of Heaven and Earth will unite many masters and go straight to Demarco Mount, overthrowing the Ten Thousand Mountain Alliance."

The martial artists whispered amongst themselves, not forgetting to analyze the situation.

Today is destined to be an earth-shaking day in the martial arts world!
