"Master, they should all be over by the Ancient Ruins Stele. Shall we go and catch them all in one go?"

In the Celestial Realm's secret domain, Chen Lan led two demons towards the direction of the Ancient Ruins Stele.

"Hmm, if we can kill even one, that's one less threat to Blue Star." Chen Lan nodded slightly. The fewer Daoist Venerables from the Demon Race, the less danger there would be for Blue Star.

Before long, one human and two demons arrived at the Ancient Ruins Stele.

Chen Lan looked at the gigantic stele connecting to the sky and asked, "What is the Ancient Ruins Stele?"

"Master, it is almost like a ranking of battle prowess. Throughout the ages, only those with extremely high battle prowess and unparalleled talent have managed to leave their names on the Ancient Ruins Stele, marking their place in history. To this day, not many have done so; the higher the ranking, the stronger the individual. Only twenty from the Ancient Wilderness Demon Realm have left their names here," the Golden-Winged Roc answered truthfully.

Chen Lan nodded his head, realizing it was like a leaderboard. He wondered what position his battle prowess could achieve in the Ancient Wilderness Demon Realm.

We could take a look.

Upon reaching the Ancient Ruins Stele, Chen Lan did not see the figures of other Daoist Venerables, but there were plenty of people here.

"Master, I'd like to test myself at the Ancient Ruins Stele, may I?" the Golden-Winged Roc spoke softly.

"Go ahead," Chen Lan replied indifferently.

The Snake Woman also expressed her desire to try, so the two demons walked towards the Ancient Ruins Stele.

The stele was enormous, reaching into the sky like a monumental stone tablet. At the top were written twenty names, from top to bottom, they included Human Emperor, Dragon God, Ancient Pill Emperor, and at the end, he saw names like Chen Han, Li Zhongdao, and Duobao Daoist Venerable.

One could leave their real name or an alias.

The Golden-Winged Roc's name was also there, positioned roughly in the middle, having left its mark during a previous entry.

The Snake Woman's name was right below the Golden-Winged Roc's, as she likely wouldn't have been able to surpass it had the roc not been injured.

"Look, it's the Golden-Winged Roc. It's here as well. I wonder if it can climb a few ranks this time."

"Probably. Just now, Li Zhongdao and others came, and their rankings haven't changed much. Their strength is likely still the same."

"The Ancient Ruins Stele is quite mysterious. Logically, strength should change over time, so how does it remain so static?"

"Perhaps the Ancient Ruins Stele continually knows everyone's strength. Otherwise, there wouldn't be no change."

The Golden-Winged Roc stepped forward under everyone's gaze, gathered its Spiritual Power, and punched out.

Boom!!!

A thunderous noise reverberated from the Ancient Ruins Stele, deafeningly loud, as the Golden-Winged Roc's name shone brightly, appearing at the top of the stele, but its ranking remained unchanged!

"Not bad, staying the same is also good," the Golden-Winged Roc chuckled. It hadn't made much improvement over the years mainly because at its present level, significant progress was already very difficult.

At most, it could find Dao Rhyme Items to pave new paths, but its comprehension was not very high.

"Step aside, let me try," said the Snake Woman, who also gathered her Spiritual Power and punched out.

The ranking still didn't change, remaining below the Golden-Winged Roc.

Seeing this, Chen Lan pondered; it seemed the Ancient Ruins Stele could constantly ascertain one's battle prowess, updating it in real time. As long as one left a name, it would remain. He wondered what material it was made from to be so miraculous.

He walked forward slowly. He wanted to see how much stronger he was compared to the others.

Seeing Chen Lan approach, the Golden-Winged Roc and the Snake Woman voluntarily stepped aside, which slightly shocked the others.

"Who is this person, to make two Demon Race Daoist Venerables step aside of their own accord, and their attitude seems very respectful."

"I don't know, but it seems this person might also be a Daoist Venerable."

"A mysterious Daoist Venerable? Wait, could it be the Human Race Daoist Venerable who's been making waves these past two days?"

"It really could be him. Apart from him, who else could reach this level, commanding respect from two Demon Race Daoist Venerables? It must be him."

Chen Lan's appearance sparked fervent discussion among the crowd, mainly due to the Golden-Winged Roc and the Snake Woman's unusual deference, making them recall that mysterious Daoist Venerable from the day before.

Chen Lan approached the Ancient Ruins Stele, looked up at the stone monument, gathered his Spiritual Power, and struck with a heavy punch.

Buzz!!!

The monument erupted with a loud blast, descending golden light that enveloped Chen Lan.

"It's sound—the Ancient Ruins Stele has sounded; a name can be left!" someone exclaimed.

Once the Ancient Ruins Stele emitted a mighty sound, it meant a name could be left.

In an instant, a phenomenon unfolded in the sky as two indistinct silhouettes appeared, emitting terrifying and mysterious auras.

Divine Visions!

The crowd could no longer contain their astonishment, bursting into shouts.

"This... this is the highest honor of the Ancient Ruins Stele, Divine Visions. Those two are the gods who created the stele, and only two have ever summoned such a vision, one being the Human Emperor, the other being Dragon God. I didn't expect a third today!"

"It's thrilling; we are witnessing history. I wonder what name this person will leave."

"After ten thousand years, has someone finally entered the ranks of the Human Emperor, and a Daoist Venerable of our Human Race at that, fantastic."

"Damn it, why not from our Demon Race instead of the Human Race, this is infuriating."

The Human Race was ecstatic and excited, while the Demon Race gritted their teeth in frustration.

For the Human Race to produce another figure who could stand alongside the Human Emperor was no good news for the Demon Race.

"I didn't expect the master to summon the Divine Visions!" The Golden-Winged Roc was dumbfounded and murmured in awe.

Its heart was utterly thrilled; it truly had followed the right person. This was a powerful figure with the strength of the Dragon God and Human Emperor. By following him, even chickens and dogs could ascend to enlightenment!

Perhaps its journey to the Desolate Celestial Realm was not far off.

Beside it, the Snake Woman was so stunned she didn't know what to say.

"Did I indeed follow the right person?" thought the Snake Woman inwardly. Originally, her allegiance was merely for survival's sake, but now it seemed to be a fortunate event.

She never imagined that Chen Lan could reach such heights, able to stand shoulder to shoulder with the Dragon God and the Human Emperor!

Chen Lan looked up at the Divine Visions in the sky, listening to the discussions around him, mildly stunned. Had he already stood alongside the Human Emperor?

He didn't comprehend how the Ancient Ruins Stele conducted its tests, but just delivering a random punch seemed rather trivial.

[Congratulations, you have passed the stele test. Please leave your name.]

The Ancient Ruins Stele sounded, and as the words faded, Chen Lan was suddenly lifted into the air, reaching the summit.

Before him appeared a blank scroll, evidently to write his name or alias.

Chen Lan flamboyantly wrote the words: Xiao Yao.

In a split second, the Ancient Ruins Stele resounded again, a gold light shot skyward, and a golden name slowly revealed itself: Xiao Yao.

[Today's name recorded: Xiao Yao, first in battle prowess, name immortalized through the ages.]

The grandiose sound echoed throughout the entire Celestial Realm's secret domain, heard and seen by all, remarkably conspicuous.

With these words, countless people were struck by awe, looking towards the sky above the Ancient Ruins Stele, staring at the name, dumbfounded.

First in battle prowess!?

Name immortalized through the ages!!
