Under the golden divine light, the lifeless Blood Python fell powerlessly, crashing heavily onto the ground, causing the entire earth to tremble.

Watching the young Taoist hero instantly slay the terrifying Demon King, cheers erupted from the high walls of Kaiming City.

So strong. With his aid, the previous crisis of Kaiming City was already resolved.

At this moment, the young Taoist hero who had killed the Blood Python had a calm expression, seemingly unsurprised by the one-strike kill of the Blood Python Demon King.

Then, the young Taoist hero's gaze turned to the rampaging beast tide below, a cold light flashing in his deep pupils.

These damn abominations, if they breach the city, it would be a terrifying disaster for the people of the Great Qin Empire inside the city.

Next, the young Taoist hero gently closed the Divine Eye that was necessarily open, golden light scattering, and the third eye immediately opened again. The golden divine pupil from the center of his brow cast a gold luminous screen sweeping toward the beast tide.

The light screen was like a vertical wall of light, wherever it passed, the fierce beasts exploded, blood fog filled the air, and flesh scattered.

Roar!

Facing this situation, the beast tide, which was continuously charging at the city, immediately descended into chaos.

The fierce beasts within the tide, upon seeing their companions constantly dying miserably, lost the savage aura in their eyes, regained clarity, and were instantly filled with immense fear, letting out terrified wails.

Subsequently, the beast tide inevitably began to collapse, large numbers of fierce beasts frantically fled, trying to escape the incoming light screen.

But these fierce beasts, being only at the first or second tier, were too slow, how could they outrace the golden light screen of the young Taoist hero.

Roar Roar～

In just a moment, these fierce beasts, while fleeing, turned into blood mist one after another, their shrill screams echoing continuously in the air.

At this moment, the land before Kaiming City had already turned into a world of blood, with the blood and remains of large numbers of fierce beasts dyeing the entire land red, faint blood mist wafting in the air, the stench of blood and violence rising to the sky.

Having done all this, the young Taoist hero treaded on purple aura, quickly arriving at the high wall.

Seeing the soldiers on the high wall groaning in pain, the young Taoist hero waved his sleeve, a sheet of purple light scattering out, illuminating the wounded soldiers.

In an instant, the wounds on these soldiers healed quickly, recovering completely.

"Thank you, Taoist Master, for saving our Kaiming City. May I ask which ancient force you are from?"

At this moment, a middle-aged military officer stepped forward from the crowd with a grateful expression, thanking the young Taoist hero.

"You're welcome; as fellow humans, it's natural to watch and help each other. Seeing these foul beasts attacking the city, how could I stand idly by?

As for the force I'm from... I hail from the Celestial Dao Sect."

The young Taoist hero cupped his hands slightly, speaking politely.

"So you are a Taoist Master from the Celestial Dao Sect…"

"..."

After a few words of conversation, the young Taoist hero declined Kaiming City's invitation to stay, treading on purple aura, flying away.

Shortly thereafter, the events at Kaiming City quickly went viral online, and the young Taoist hero with the golden divine eye on his brow rapidly gained fame throughout the Great Qin Empire.

[This Taoist actually has three eyes, how strange!]

[You don't understand at all, that's the Celestial Eye, with numerous Divine Techniques, likely possessing abilities like seeing through falsehoods and subduing enemies!]

[From the Celestial Dao Sect? An Ancient Sect, wonder when I could have the chance to join them!]

[This Taoist has such strong skills. He killed that Blood Python in one strike, anyone from the Celestial Dao Sect care to share this Taoist's identity, I think it's surely not ordinary.]

[That's the Taoist Progeny of our Dao Sect, a peerless talent of the sect, an unreachable existence for us!]

[Taoist Progeny? No wonder he has such power…]

[...]

For a time, the name of the Celestial Dao Sect's Taoist Progeny spread like wildfire online, many people came to know that the elegantly tempered three-eyed Taoist was indeed the Progeny of the Celestial Dao Sect.

As a result, whenever the Taoist Progeny appeared to save a city under beast tide attack, it would trigger a burst of cheers.

Furthermore, as each major Ancient Sect sought to restore its former glory by recruiting disciples, aside from the Celestial Dao Sect, other forces also dispatched their own talented individuals to venture out.

The appearance of these prodigies has indeed helped the Great Qin Empire solve significant problems, as they swiftly arrived to suppress and kill the Demon Kings when they besieged cities, saving the Great Qin Empire from greater losses.

Of course, there are gains and losses; while the Great Qin Empire gained security, the reputations of various Ancient Sects became more deeply ingrained in people's hearts with the appearance of these prodigies.

And with the increased frequency of these prodigies' appearances, various achievements were also exposed to the people of the Great Qin Empire, soon leading to the emergence of a list called the Celestial Pride List.

It recorded the prodigies from various Ancient Sects who had come forth and ranked them according to their achievements.

Celestial Pride List.

The top four were regarded as the most powerful by the people of the Great Qin Empire.

First place: Little Leiyin Temple—Buddha's Son

Second place: Celestial Demon Sect—Saint Son

Third place: Shushan Sword Sect—Sword Son

Fourth place: Celestial Dao Sect—Taoist Progeny

There were also controversies online regarding the rankings of these four prodigies, with many differing opinions.

[This list is incorrect, the Sword Son's strength certainly deserves to be first, he once killed a fifth-tier Demon King that stirred a beast tide with one sword, his power is terrifying.

Besides, when he struck, it seemed effortless, as if he didn't even use his full strength.

Such power not being first, it's unjust!]

[The Sword Son's strength is nothing special, his achievements remain the least among the four prodigies, and yet he's first? Even third is a stretch!]

[Indeed, why should Sword Son be first? The Buddha's Son has subdued a sixth-tier Demon King at Emerald Waves Pond, how can the other three prodigies compare to such power?]

[Who doesn't know that Demon King was grievously injured by Ten Thousand Beasts Hall before escaping from the Northern Territory? So, the Buddha's Son just picked up a bargain, the claim of subduing a sixth-tier Demon King is all exaggerated!

Unlike the Saint Son of the Celestial Demon Sect, who, with rightful might, defeated two fifth-tier Demon Kings at their peak, I say, the Saint Son should be first!]

[The Saint Son only reached a draw, didn't even kill them…]

[...]

The online debate over the rankings of the four prodigies was unending, with many in the Great Qin Empire dissatisfied with the Buddha's Son being ranked first, although there were also many who felt subduing a sixth-tier Demon King warranted his top ranking.

Compared to the fervent discussion amongst humans, the demon race was silent.

Because now, these four prodigies were all of human birth, not a single demon race prodigy was seen.

Though there were demon race prodigies after the top four, they weren't nearly as brilliant or eye-catching.

Among the demon race, the most renowned prodigy, Little Ming King Peacock, had reckless ventured himself into death at Tiger King Ridge.

At this moment, within the territory of the Great Qin Empire, it was evidently a scene of human dominance.
