Chapter 3: The Power of the Heavenly Curtain, Qian Daoliu's Worries
"God-level?"
Chen Xin and Gu Rong simultaneously gasped.
That was an existence only found in legends, surpassing the Limit Douluo of ninety-ninth rank!
Although Chen Xin was shocked, he still retained a hint of doubt: "A god-level powerhouse… Indeed, if not for a miracle, it would be hard to explain."
"But why would a miracle suddenly appear? And even list this martial soul ranking list?"
Ning Fengzhi's face grew even more worried, as if he had thought of something: "Two years ago, Rongrong left home in a fit of pique and entered the Sunset Forest, after which she vanished without a trace. We used all our power, even personally searching deep within, yet couldn't find the slightest clue, as if she had evaporated from the world."
"If not for the Martial Soul lamp within the sect showing that her life was safe and growing stronger, I would have long since…"
He clenched his fists.
A sword gleam flashed in Chen Xin's eyes: "I'll go to the Sunset Forest again. Even if I have to turn the entire forest upside down, I will find Rongrong!"
Gu Rong also said: "I'll go with you! This ranking list is too strange; we must bring Rongrong back!"
Ning Fengzhi forced himself to calm down: "Don't be agitated. After this ranking list is announced, Rongrong's Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda might make it onto the list. At that time, we should know Rongrong's whereabouts."
"Let's wait and see for now, and at the same time, send more people to closely monitor the movements of all parties on the continent, especially the Spirit Hall's reaction."
"I always feel that the appearance of this heavenly curtain will completely change the continent's power structure."
...Spirit Hall, in front of the Supreme Pontiff Palace square.
Supreme Pontiff Bibi Dong held a gem scepter, her elegant and noble face now filled with unprecedented solemnity and a deeply hidden trace of fervor.
She looked up at the martial soul ranking list in the sky, her heart already churning with stormy waves.
A miracle!
This was definitely the power of a god-level being!
Perhaps, it might even be another, more powerful and mysterious Divinity's power, unrelated to the Rakshasa God's inheritance!
"Gui Mei, Yue Guan."
Her voice rang out, cold and majestic.
"Your subordinates are here!"
Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo immediately bowed in response.
"Go, test that light screen."
"See if it can be touched, or… if it can be used by our Spirit Hall!"
Bibi Dong commanded, ambition flickering in her eyes.
"Yes!"
Although the two Titled Douluo were also full of apprehension towards that light screen, they dared not disobey Bibi Dong's command in the slightest.
Their figures instantly transformed into two streaks of light, soaring into the sky, directly approaching the vast golden heavenly curtain.
However, just as they were about to approach the heavenly curtain—
Buzz!
Above the heavenly curtain, no specific attack form even manifested; it merely trembled slightly.
A gentle yet supremely majestic golden ripple spread out.
"Ah!"
Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo were like crashing into an invisible wall of divine iron; their protective Soul Power shattered instantly.
Both cried out in pain simultaneously, spitting out fresh blood.
Their figures flew back at an even faster speed than they had come, their auras instantly weakening!
Bibi Dong's pupils constricted abruptly, almost without any hesitation.
She suddenly took a step forward, and her nine Soul Rings instantly erupted.
Yellow, Yellow, Purple, Purple, Black, Black, Black, Black, Red!
Especially that last blood-red hundred thousand year spirit ring, which emitted a terrifying, suffocating pressure!
Her scepter struck the ground, and a vast and boundless Soul Power surged into the sky.
It transformed into a giant purple-black light shield, attempting to catch the flying-back Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo.
However, that golden ripple, seemingly gentle, contained unimaginable immense power.
"Crack!"
The purple-black light shield violently trembled the moment of contact, emitting a cracking sound as if unable to bear the weight, and its surface instantly became covered with fissures!
Bibi Dong's face turned pale, and she let out a muffled groan, the ground beneath her feet cracking inch by inch.
Horror flashed in her eyes, and she had no choice but to unleash her Soul Power again.
Only then did she barely manage to neutralize the residual power of the golden ripple, just barely stabilizing the figures of Gui Mei and Yue Guan.
Looking at the heavily injured and still shaken two Titled Douluo.
And then at the golden heavenly curtain, which remained vast and calm, as if nothing had happened.
Bibi Dong's heart was filled with unprecedented shock and apprehension.
"Just a trace of rebound force, and it actually…"
Her voice was low, with a tremor she hadn't even noticed.
That one blow just now, if she hadn't intervened in time, Gui Mei and Yue Guan would probably have been severely injured even if they didn't die.
And that was clearly just the heavenly curtain's insignificant, autonomous defense.
If that golden light were to actively attack… Bibi Dong couldn't even imagine what kind of world-destroying scene that would be!
Perhaps even a true god-level powerhouse might not be able to achieve this easily!
"This power definitely doesn't come from any known Divinity in the God Realm…"
She thought to herself, a greater ambition and vigilance rising simultaneously… Inside the Hall of Worship.
High Priest Qian Daoliu stood quietly before the Angel God statue.
But the powerful Soul Power vaguely fluctuating around him showed that his inner thoughts were far from as calm as his exterior.
Golden Crocodile Douluo and the other few priests were also gathered here, their expressions solemn.
"High Priest, this golden light…"
Golden Crocodile Douluo spoke in a deep voice, his tone more serious than ever before.
Qian Daoliu slowly opened his eyes, his golden pupils filled with complex emotions: shock, doubt, and even deeper apprehension.
He had inherited the Angel God's divine force, and his perception of god-level power was far more acute than others'.
"This power is vast, ancient, and supreme…"
Qian Daoliu's voice carried a hint of etherealness, "It definitely doesn't come from the God Realm… In fact, I feel it transcends the Angel Divinity I know…"
"What?"
The priests were greatly alarmed.
Transcending the Angel Divinity?
What kind of concept was that?
Qian Daoliu said no more. He just gazed deeply at the light screen in the sky, his mind filled with countless thoughts.
The continent's power structure.
Perhaps starting today, it was about to undergo earth-shattering changes.
And their Angel Clan's inheritance, in the face of this unknown immense power, where should it go?
After being shocked by Qian Daoliu's evaluation of the heavenly curtain's power, the few priests gradually recovered from their horror.
Their thoughts couldn't help but turn to another matter.
Demon Subduing Douluo was the first to speak, his tone filled with certainty and pride: "What High Priest said about this unfathomable power, but I believe that no matter how this ranking list is arranged, Young Master's Six-Winged Angel Martial Soul will definitely be among the top three!"
Qianjun Douluo immediately nodded in agreement, his voice booming: "Demon Subduing is right, Young Master's Angel Martial Soul is a true god-level Martial Soul, with innate full Soul Power at rank twenty, it is the most top-tier aptitude in the world!"
"I find it hard to imagine what other Martial Soul in this world could surpass the Six-Winged Angel in innate quality!"
His eyes sparkled with excitement as he continued: "What's more, the existence that cast this heavenly curtain, its immense power probably far exceeds what we can imagine. The rewards it casually bestows would probably be enough to make even us Titled Douluo go crazy!"
"If Young Master obtains it, her strength will definitely advance by leaps and bounds, and she might even… complete the Angel God's assessment faster!"
Azure Luan Douluo and the other priests also nodded in agreement upon hearing this.
In their hearts, Young Master Qian Renxue's talent and Martial Soul were undoubtedly the peak of this continent.
Being ranked among the top three or even first on the martial soul ranking list was only natural.
