Chapter 540: Battle Tower Ranking (Part-3)

Damian, on the other hand, showed a surprised expression upon seeing such exquisite power in the rules of space. His expression immediately changed as it seemed the opponent wasn’t just being overconfident to challenge him.

He couldn’t even begin to fathom the depth of the space rule Apollo used and immediately became alert.

His aura quickly became sharp, and then immediately he seemed to turn into light and disappear from the space.

Apollo watched this and smiled; this was truly light speed. When it comes to speed, light rules can be said to be the fastest except space. But then again, with space rules, he isn’t exactly moving, so light can be considered the fastest rule.

Like a beam of light, Damian moved around Apollo at extreme light speed and attacked from every different direction.

And immediately, thousands or hundreds of thousands of bright golden sword energies came to him like a storm.

They were fast and the sharpness of the terrifying rules of metal. For any transcendent genius, it would be a very difficult situation, but sadly Apollo wasn’t something that can be described as a normal genius.

"Infinite Space domain." With the rules of space, he turned the space around him into countless layers of mirrors covering him like a closed domain.

Bang! Bang! Bang!...

The golden energy came from every direction and collided with the domain. And it immediately shattered quite a few space mirrors and tried to cross them.

But even though the golden sword energy was strong and had reached tens of thousands, it still could not break the layers of space around Apollo.

If his understanding of the Space Rule had been at the Third Layer, comparable to Damian’s understanding of the Metal Rule, this overwhelming barrage might have broken through his domain.

Even though the Space Rule was one of the most powerful rules, the combined might of the Metal and Light Rules was not something that could be underestimated.

But Apollo’s understanding of the Space Rule had already surpassed Damian’s comprehension by an enormous margin.

No matter how fiercely Damian attacked, he simply couldn’t break through Apollo’s defenses.

"This!" Damian was shocked to see this, and his confident expression had disappeared completely as he could see vast differences in their understanding of rules.

Apollo, on the other hand, smiled and said, looking at him. "It was a good display of your strength, Damian Light, but I have got a hint of understanding of the genius’s strength on the sub-list. So it’s time to end this."

He clenched his fist and then calmly punched in Damian’s direction.

"Collapse!"

Bang!

Boom!

And immediately, the space surrounding Damian started to slowly shatter, and when he tried to run, he was unable to move as the entire space collapsing was holding him and crushing him.

BOOOM!

With one final, earth-shattering explosion, the space around Damian collapsed entirely.

His spiritual projection was instantly destroyed, shattering into millions of fragments before disappearing from the Battle Tower.

It was quite a simple and direct thing for Apollo, but the moment he defeated Damian, the battle tower of Silver Lake City shone brightly for a moment, and right in front of everyone, the sub-list ranking that hasn’t changed for the last hundred years changed.

Before the eyes of countless spectators, the name occupying the 999,901st position changed.

’Damian Light’ fell down in ranking.

And in his place, a new name appeared.

Apollo.

The spectators stared at the ranking list in shock, struggling to comprehend what they were seeing.

The rankings hadn’t changed in a hundred years.

Yet a complete newcomer had suddenly appeared on the list.

Who was this Apollo? And how had he managed to defeat Damian Light, a genius who had occupied his position for a very long time?

This was too sudden, and the sudden glow of the battle tower meant the one so-called Apollo was here in Silver Lake City and in the battle tower right now.

This immediately shocked everyone who was close to the battle tower and saw the change in the list. Immediately after feeling shocked, they contacted their families and sect.

It was massive news for the entire Silver Lake City and could even change the entire power structure.

That wasn’t all, as this wasn’t just big news for Silver Lake City but great news for the entire state. Silver Lake City was within one of the 72 states of the Human Realms, and it was considered among the weakest states.

So, they always became excited when a new dark horse appeared. But Apollo’s current ranking wasn’t very high, but still, many all over the state noticed him and remembered his name.

Many people quickly gathered in front of Battle Tower within Silver Lake City. They were all waiting for Apollo to come out.

And a moment later, the city lord himself also appeared. The city lord himself was a genius who had ranked in the transcendent sub-ranking, but now he had already become supreme, and he knew how much strength and talent were needed to be ranked.

Moreover, he knew something that ordinary people often overlooked.

Most warriors who successfully entered the rankings, provided they survived long enough to continue cultivating, eventually had a chance to reach the Supreme realm.

They were the true elites of the Human Realm.

Naturally, the city lord wanted to meet the newcomer who had just entered the Transcendent sub-ranking.

He was eager to discover what kind of person this mysterious Apollo was—and whether Silver Lake City had just witnessed the rise of a future powerhouse.

But his thoughts were stopped midway as, instead of coming out, Apollo’s ranking changed again by hundreds of ranks, reaching 999,801st place.

And this seemed just the beginning, as his ranking continued to climb hundreds of places in every minute. This shocked everyone standing outside the Battle Tower, as they had never seen or heard such a thing.

Apollo’s ranking continued to rise, and in a few minutes it surpassed the ranking the City Lord had ever reached. But he didn’t stop and continued to rise without slowing down.

The extraordinary speed of his progress immediately attracted the attention of countless powerful figures throughout the state.

At that moment, the eyes of the entire state were focused on Silver Lake City—and on the mysterious newcomer named Apollo.
