Chapter 24 New Rankings (Please Subscribe)_2
It wasn't that he couldn't push forward, but that pushing forward equated to death, leaving almost no hope of reaching the ultimate level.
This act of severing Tuoba Ancient God's future path was Lin Yuan's way of settling the score from being wronged before.
Fang Qing, his good friend, also virtually died at the hands of Tuoba Ancient God. Even though revived by a Supreme Being, the animosity was established.
If Lin Yuan had the capability, naturally, he wouldn't let the other party off.
Next were the three strange items acquired, which enhanced Lin Yuan's strength in all aspects.
Defense, attack, coupled with the 'Premonition' from the bronze Compass, almost made Lin Yuan a hexagon warrior with no weaknesses.
If he could develop the capabilities of the silver mirror, employing spatial strategies, then Lin Yuan could completely traverse this Two-dimensional World with ease.
And the gains here were not limited to the Two-dimensional World; as long as Lin Yuan could successfully return to the Main Universe, the gains would increase countless times over.
The three items were equivalent to three Twelve-Star Strange Treasuries Weapons; just thinking about it exhilarated Lin Yuan.
"Continue training."
"I can feel that the Witch Ancestor Nineteenth Realm is close."
Lin Yuan thought to himself. He had been in the Witch Ancestor Eighteenth Realm for a while now and had a lot of premonitions about the Nineteenth Realm.
...
Virtual World.
Nalan, the Deputy Tower Master, promptly contacted Lin Yuan to inform him of major events occurring in the Two-dimensional World.
This was also per Lin Yuan's request. Having hidden for a long time in the gathering places of Luochuan, distant from the core circles of the Two-dimensional World, he didn't know much about many intelligence messages.
That was why he requested this of Deputy Tower Master Nalan.
Although Lin Yuan was confident that with his Against-Heaven's Understanding, he could surpass those Tier 11 Perfection legendary beings, he wasn't so arrogant as to disregard everything entirely.
"Major events, major events."
Deputy Tower Master Nalan's expression was grave. As soon as he saw Lin Yuan, he quickly started, "Xueyu Ancient Country has given birth to a mysterious strong being who is not weaker than the nine major powerhouses."
Xueyu Ancient Country wasn't very noticeable among the Twelve Ancient Countries, although it also had many Myriad Tribes' Powerhouses dispersed throughout, it never produced any particularly impressive strong beings.
That was why Tuoba Ancient God and other special beings set their sights on Xueyu Ancient Country.
A soft persimmon needs to be pinched.
And in the Twelve Ancient Countries, Xueyu Ancient Country undoubtedly belonged to the category of soft persimmons.
Little did they expect that this time, Tuoba Ancient God and other special beings would suffer a major setback.
"That mysterious strong being from Xueyu Ancient Country is too terrifying," Deputy Tower Master Nalan said in awe, "Bare-handed, he killed both Tuoba Ancient God and Pei Shen, both of whom were strong beings wielding strange artifacts."
Deputy Tower Master Nalan spoke with considerable surprise. Being at Tier 11 himself, he had a significant gap compared to Tuoba Ancient God and Pei Shen; if he encountered them in the Two-dimensional World, it was uncertain whether he could even escape.
Lin Yuan listened quietly on the side. He was the mysterious strong being mentioned by Deputy Tower Master Nalan, but he did not plan to publicly reveal this yet.
There was no benefit in doing so; it would only attract countless attention.
"Besides, many of the strong beings that fell into the Two-dimensional World are still hidden, practicing in the dark. The Four Divine Kings and the other nine major powerhouses are just a part of them," Deputy Tower Master Nalan said with emotion, having witnessed the Four Divine Kings and other major powerhouses over the past hundred years, and the recent battle from Xueyu Ancient Country.
Deputy Tower Master Nalan had almost given up the idea of his avatar leaving the Two-dimensional World.
What a joke?
To leave the Two-dimensional World, he would have to compete with the Four Divine Kings and that mysterious strong being from Xueyu Ancient Country.
But what could he, Nalan, the Deputy Tower Master, use to compete with those monsters?
"Indeed, there are many strong beings hidden in the shadows," Lin Yuan nodded slightly.
Many of the strong beings that had fallen into the Two-dimensional World shared his thoughts.
These strong beings refrained from doing anything during the early stages, only making a move after the gates to heaven opened.

"However, even if some strong beings are hiding, the presence of the Four Divine Kings, mysterious strong beings, and others definitely constitute the strongest circle inside the Two-dimensional World," Deputy Tower Master Nalan said.
Revealing one's identity early on wasn't necessarily weaker than those who hid their identities; it was just a difference in approach.
"Where does that mysterious strong being currently rank among the openly powerful in the Two-dimensional World?" Lin Yuan suddenly became curious, wanting to know his own strength positioning.
"I knew you would ask this," Deputy Tower Master Nalan said with a smile on his face.
He wasn't puzzled by the question Lin Yuan posed. In fact, most of the strong beings from the Myriad Clans in the Two-dimensional World were curious about that mysterious strong being from Xueyu Ancient Country.
Who wouldn't be curious about a being who remained unnoticed before striking and then overwhelmed everything with his power?
"According to the latest rankings of the strong, this mysterious being is currently ranked sixth," Deputy Tower Master Nalan said as a holographic screen appeared before him, which he then pushed towards Lin Yuan.
"Sixth?" Lin Yuan looked down.
"Yes," Deputy Tower Master Nalan nodded, "Actually, I think this mysterious being could rank even higher because he has made so few moves."
"And having never clashed with other major power level beings, just overpowering Tuoba Ancient God and other special beings in one fight isn't enough to fully demonstrate his strength," Deputy Tower Master Nalan explained.
The rankings of the strong in the Two-dimensional World were based on many factors.
Many strong beings had gone through countless battles, and their personal strength could be very well demonstrated, so their rankings were much more precise.
But for that mysterious strong being from Xueyu Ancient Country, having only chased and killed Tuoba Ancient God and other special beings in that one battle, the ranking based on that was bound to be a bit lower.
Even so, the fact that this mysterious strong being was ranked sixth already illustrated the impact of that one battle.
