As the writing appeared, a small, exquisite pagoda exuding an ancient aura slowly floated down from the pillar of light and hovered in front of Qianyu.
The tower was surrounded by a visible purple aura, and just a glance at it brought a sense of peace to the mind, as if the soul had been elevated.
What's even more frightening is...
With a thought from Qianyu.
The spirit rings that should have appeared beneath his feet had all turned into a dazzling platinum color.
That's the color that only a million-year-old spirit ring can have!
Eighteen!
Eighteen million-year soul rings flashed alternately behind him, emanating a terrifying pressure that caused fine cracks to appear in the surrounding space even though Qian Yu tried to restrain himself.
"Wow!"
"The Hongmeng Tower is so beautiful!"
Cai Wenji was not affected by the pressure at all; instead, she clapped her hands and looked excited.
"It can even evolve into a martial soul! Brother Qianyu is the best!"
Qian Renxue stared at the dazzling golden light, completely numb.
"Twin Martial Souls..."
"Eighteen spirit rings, all of them million-year spirit rings!"
She wouldn't dare to go to such an extreme configuration, let alone see it before, even in her dreams.
If the previous shock was like ocean waves, then the current scene is a tsunami powerful enough to destroy the world.
Gongsun Li, holding a paper umbrella, watched the slowly rotating Hongmeng Tower in Qianyu's hand, a playful smile appearing on her lips.
"I really want to see Bibi Dong's face right now."
"It's going to be very exciting."
Upon hearing this, Qian Renxue took a deep breath and forcibly suppressed the turmoil in her heart.
She looked toward the direction of the Papal Palace with a complicated expression.
"Bibi Dong is probably going to regret this."
"Perhaps we'll have to settle accounts with Father."
Even with Qian Renxue's understanding of that woman.
Faced with such an incredible opportunity and power, Bibi Dong, a person with an extremely strong desire for control, would definitely not give up easily.
But so what?
My father today is no longer the pushover he once was!
...
Before everyone could fully recover from the shock brought by the Martial Soul Ranking...
The scene above the sky changed dramatically once again.
The purplish-gold light did not dissipate; instead, it began to rearrange and recombine, transforming into a giant scroll.
Ancient handwriting reappears.
[The Martial Soul Ranking review is complete!]
[Continue with the power rankings!]
[In the previous text, the Haotian Sect ranked tenth, and the ferocious beast forces in the far north ranked ninth!]
The appearance of this line of text instantly drew everyone's attention back to the sky.
Power Ranking!
This ranking is related to the overall structure of the continent.
Previously, the fact that the Haotian Sect was only ranked tenth had already caused a huge uproar. They, who were known as the "Number One Sect in the World", were actually at the bottom.
And the far north, a forbidden zone for humans, only ranks ninth.
So who exactly is this force in front of us?
[Ranked 8th on the Douluo Continent Power Ranking: Tang Sect!]
[Leader of the Faction: Tang San]
[Main members: Shrek Seven Devils, Agility Clan, Strength Clan, Defense Clan, and Destruction Clan (formerly the four major affiliated sects of the Clear Sky Sect)]
[Representative figure: Tang San]
[Reason for inclusion: Unparalleled in hidden weaponry, a gathering of a new generation of geniuses, with immense potential.]
[Reward: A method to create soul rings with an age limit of 1000 years or less!]
[Bonus Reward: Sect Master Tang San's soul power is tripled!]
The moment the list was released, the entire Douluo Continent erupted in excitement.
"What? The Tang Clan is only ranked eighth?"
"This is a force capable of directly confronting the Spirit Empire!"
"I heard that Tang San is about to become a god, and his subordinates are full of powerful people. How could he not even make it into the top five?"
Both the royal family of the Heaven Dou Empire and the nobles of the Star Luo Empire were incredulous at this moment.
In their eyes, the Tang Clan is now at its zenith and is the main force against the Spirit Hall.
Even if it can't compare to the Spirit Hall, it's still at least in the top three, right?
And now they're being told they're only ranked eighth?
What kind of joke is this?
...
Poseidon Island.
The waves were raging and the sea wind was howling.
In front of the sacred and solemn Temple of Neptune.
Tang San, dressed in a blue and gold robe and holding the Trident of the Sea God, stood proudly on the high platform.
He was preparing to accept Poseidon's sacrifice, to begin the final step in the sea god's legacy, and to inherit the supreme position of the sea god.
That was the most glorious moment of his life.
However.
At this moment, the change in the sky was like a bucket of cold water being poured over one's head.
"The Douluo Power Ranking, number eight, Tang Sect?"
Tang San suddenly raised his head, and his face, which was originally full of confidence and arrogance, was instantly filled with astonishment.
"How is this possible? This ranking is too low!"
He tightened his grip on the trident, his knuckles turning white from the force.
"How is that possible? Our Tang Clan is only eighth place?"
Tang San's voice became shrill, and the disbelief in his voice distorted his usually gentle and refined face.
He never expected the Tang Sect to be ranked first, after all, the Spirit Hall had a profound foundation.
But I didn't expect it to be this low.
The Tang Clan was his creation, the culmination of his hard work.
Not only did it gather unparalleled geniuses like the Shrek Seven Devils, but it also subdued four major single-attribute sects, plus the full support of the Heaven Dou Empire and the background of Seagod Island.
Such a force can be described as incredibly powerful.
He was originally full of confidence that even with the existence of the mysterious Tang Empire and Haiyue Empire, Tang San conservatively estimated that the Tang Sect could at least be in the top three.
Even in his mind, first place wasn't impossible.
The result is now.
Eighth place?
This number was like a resounding slap across his face.
The huge sense of disparity made Tang San feel dizzy.
"This is insane, absolutely insane! How could the Tang Sect only be ranked eighth?"
Ning Rongrong stood below the stage, her delicate face filled with shock.
She is the little princess of the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School, and has an innate sensitivity to the strength of different factions.
Today, the Tang Clan's overall strength is absolutely no less than that of the former top three sects.
"My brother is incredibly powerful and is about to inherit the Sea God's position. Even with the combined strength of the Shrek Seven Devils and several Title Douluos, we're only ranked last?"
Xiao Wu was also stunned.
She always believed that Third Brother was the best, and that the Tang Clan he founded was the strongest.
How could it have become so disliked in the reviews of Tianmu?
Poseidon, standing to the side, also showed a hint of shock in her deep eyes.
She glanced at Tang San, who was about to inherit the divine position, and her heart stirred with emotion.
"The power of the Sea God's successor is only ranked eighth?"
This is not only a slap in the face to the Tang Sect, but also a slap in the face to the Sea God.
Dai Mubai noticed another point.
He frowned as he looked at the reward descriptions displayed on the screen.
"A method to create soul rings with a lifespan of a thousand years or less? What is that?"
"Could it be that it's possible to artificially create a thousand-year-old soul ring?"
