Hyotei angrily waved their little fists, clearly very dissatisfied with the ranking.
In her opinion, apart from those few legendary god-level forces, who is qualified to be ranked ahead of them?
Beside her, a woman in a snow-white dress gently shook her head.
She possessed a noble and aloof air, like a celestial maiden untouched by worldly concerns.
That is the Snow Emperor, the Lord of the Far North.
"Ninth place...that is indeed somewhat unexpected."
Xue Di's voice was clear and ethereal, like the flow of an icy spring.
"It seems that the human world is not as simple as we imagined."
"but..."
Xue Di's gaze fell on the reward enveloped in golden light, and her breathing became slightly rapid.
"Tribulation-Crossing Pill?"
"A 100% chance to transcend the tribulation? This is a good thing."
For soul beasts, the Heavenly Tribulation is like the Sword of Damocles hanging over their heads.
Each tribulation is a near-death experience.
Especially for those at their level, the power of the next tribulation will be devastating.
Having this Tribulation-Crossing Pill is like having an extra life!
"But there's only one."
Xue Di looked at the pill floating in the air, a hint of difficulty flashing in her eyes.
She turned to look at Hyotei beside her, her eyes softening.
"Bing'er, your time is almost up."
"Here, you can use this pill."
Xue Di made a decision without any hesitation.
She hoped more that Hyotei could survive than that she herself.
Upon hearing this, Hyotei's eyes flashed with a hint of emotion, but he immediately and firmly refused.
"no!"
"Sister Xue, you are the Lord of the Far North, you are our pillar."
"This is your reward, I absolutely cannot accept it."
Although Hyotei is usually a bit arrogant, they are exceptionally sensible when faced with matters of principle.
She knew very well that the far north could not be without the Snow Emperor.
"But..."
Xue Di wanted to say something more.
"There are no 'buts'!"
Hyotei suddenly reached out and snatched the Tribulation-Crossing Pill from the air.
To Xue Di's astonishment, she pounced on her, grabbed Xue Di's chin, and forced the strangely fragrant pill into Xue Di's mouth.
"Hmm..."
Xue Di's eyes widened, as if she wanted to spit it out, but the pill melted instantly upon entering her mouth, transforming into a warm current that flowed into her limbs and bones.
"Hyotei! You..."
Looking at the smug Ice Emperor after her success, the Snow Empress felt both helpless and touched.
She wasn't happy at all; instead, her face was full of sorrow.
"You gave it to me, so what are you going to do with it?"
Hyotei was delighted. She clapped her hands and said with a grin:
"Sister Xue, don't worry."
"There's always a way out."
"As long as you live, I'm not afraid of anything."
After saying that, Hyotei quickly pointed to the sky above in an attempt to change the subject.
"Okay, okay, let's not talk about this anymore."
"Look at the sky!"
"Let's look at the sky. I heard they're about to announce the number one on the Martial Soul Ranking. I'm really curious."
"What on earth could possibly overpower that twelve-winged angel?"
Snow Empress sighed softly, rubbed Ice Empress's head, and then turned her gaze to the sky.
...
Right now.
Throughout the entire Douluo Continent, countless eyes were fixed on that golden sky.
Whether they were popes or emperors in high positions, or ordinary soul masters or commoners, everyone was holding their breath in anticipation.
The mysterious being that weighed on everyone's hearts, that being that surpassed even the twelve-winged angel, was finally about to unveil its secrets.
Rumble—
Thunder rumbled across the sky.
The original golden light suddenly receded, and then an even more dazzling purple-gold light, carrying a hint of holiness and majesty, instantly tore through the sky.
[Reclaim the Martial Soul Ranking!]
[Last time, the second place on the Martial Soul Ranking was Qian Yu's Twelve-Winged Angel Martial Soul!]
Now we'll be reviewing the number one martial spirit on the martial spirit ranking, the one that stands at the pinnacle of the continent!
As the grand sound resounded throughout the heavens and earth, a crystal, sparkling with seven colors, slowly appeared in everyone's sight.
It doesn't look very big, nor does it have that kind of world-destroying aura.
But the moment it appeared, all martial spirits, whether weapon martial spirits or beast martial spirits, experienced a strong tremor.
That's a form of suppression that originates from the rules themselves!
[Number One on the Martial Soul Ranking: Glory Crystal!]
The moment these words were uttered, the entire continent was in an uproar.
"Glory Crystal? What kind of martial soul is that?"
"I've never heard of that before!"
"Could it really be a stone?"
However, what followed left everyone stunned.
[Unknown?]
Specific details are unavailable!
[Martial Soul Rank: Unknown!]
A series of unknowns make this martial spirit full of mystery.
An existence that even the heavens cannot fully analyze?
Next, the most attention-grabbing name of the holder appeared.
[Holder: Chiba!]
Whoosh—
At this moment, the entire continent was in an uproar.
It's Chiyu again!
He's second on the Martial Soul Ranking, and he's also number one!
Twin Martial Souls!
Moreover, they are two peerless martial souls that dominate the top two spots on the leaderboard!
Inside the Papal Palace, Bibi Dong's scepter clattered to the ground, and she slumped into her chair, her eyes lifeless.
"It really is him..."
"He's also number one..."
At the same time, the rewards displayed on the sky were announced, and each word struck everyone's heart like a heavy hammer.
[Reward: Divine Artifact - Hongmeng Tower!]
[Function: Can help people evolve their martial spirit, purify their bloodline, and even reshape their foundation!]
[Special Reward: All Soul Rings' age is increased to one million years!]
[Special Reward: Soul Power Solidification Increased by 100 Times!]
Starry Sky Forest, Lake of Life.
This is the oldest and most mysterious forbidden area on the continent, where a rich life force condenses into mist that floats on the lake's surface.
Normally, this place is completely silent, with even the chirping of insects being extremely rare, but the tranquility has been broken by the change in the sky.
Silver Dragon King Gu Yuena stood by the lake, her purple eyes reflecting the dazzling crystal light in the sky.
Her stunningly beautiful face originally carried a hint of composure and arrogance befitting the ruler of all soul beasts, but that composure shattered the moment the words "Glory Crystal" appeared.
"Honor Crystal?"
"What kind of martial spirit is this?"
Gu Yuena frowned slightly, her eyes filled with doubt.
As the Silver Dragon King who inherited the power to control the Dragon God's elements, she believed she had seen countless rare treasures in the world and even knew a thing or two about many secrets of the divine realm.
But this Glory Crystal, both in name and form, felt completely unfamiliar to her.
She subconsciously took a step forward, wanting to see the description of this martial soul that Tianmu would give next.
However, when those lines of red text appeared, Gu Yuena was completely stunned.
