Chapter 6: Bibi Dong's Astonishment
Spirit Hall, Supreme Pontiff Palace.
Bibi Dong, seated on her throne, felt her jade hand gripping the gem scepter tighten abruptly when she heard "Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon, twentieth place."
A clear look of shock appeared on her beautiful face for the first time.
"The Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon is only twentieth?"
Her Phoenix eyes narrowed slightly, and a tempest raged in her heart.
This was completely beyond her expectations.
She was well aware of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon's quality; it was definitely top-tier.
If even it could only Rank twentieth, then what about the Martial Souls ahead of it?
A feeling of things spiraling out of control spontaneously arose, making her very uneasy.
But at the same time, an even more fervent ambition burned in her heart.
If the reward for twentieth place was so generous, what about those ranked higher?
She subconsciously looked at Ghost Douluo and Chrysanthemum Douluo below.
She saw that both of them had bitter expressions, and the glimmer of hope that had just risen in their eyes was completely extinguished.
Although their Martial Souls were unique and powerful, they admitted that in terms of absolute quality, they were slightly inferior to the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon.
If the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon was only twentieth, then the two of them probably wouldn't even make the list.
Gui Mei and Yue Guan exchanged glances, both seeing the same thought in each other's eyes: Could it be that even Her Majesty the Pontiff's two Heaven-Defying twin spirits couldn't make it into the top ten?
As soon as this thought arose—
The heavenly curtain changed again!
Golden light flowed, and the new ranking prominently appeared:
[Martial Soul Ranking List, Nineteenth Place: Death Spider Emperor]
[Holder: Bibi Dong (Spirit Hall)]
[Rating: Top-tier attack system/control system Beast Spirit, containing top-tier death and potent poison power, possessing the characteristic of devouring for growth.]
[Reward: Soul Power Rank increased by one, all Soul Ring years increased by one thousand years]
"Nineteenth place?"
Bibi Dong's pupils contracted, and her bad premonition came true.
Her Death Spider Emperor was actually only ranked nineteenth?!
But the next moment, the familiar golden light pillar descended with a roar, completely enveloping her!
Vast Heavenly Dao energy poured into her body, and her Rank 98 Peak Soul Power instantly boiled.
That solid barrier was Vulnerable (vulnerable) before this mighty power, shattering with a crash!
Rank 99!
Limit Douluo!
A vast and unparalleled terrifying pressure, as if capable of Dominating death, instantly erupted from Bibi Dong's body, causing the entire Supreme Pontiff Palace to tremble violently.
The dark Death Spider Emperor's phantom flashed behind her, and an alarming purple poisonous mist diffused and then instantly retracted.
Below, Ghost Douluo and Chrysanthemum Douluo groaned under this terrifying pressure, involuntarily kneeling on one knee.
They could only barely resist by fully circulating their Soul Power, their faces filled with shock and awe!
"Congratulations, Her Majesty the Pontiff! Heartfelt congratulations, Her Majesty the Pontiff! For achieving the realm of Limit Douluo!"
The two of them, enduring the pressure, loudly congratulated her with excitement.
Bibi Dong felt the powerful Soul Power surging like a sea within her, far surpassing her previous state, and the feeling of a more intimate connection with the Rakshasa God Trial deep within her Soul. A satisfied smile finally appeared on her beautiful face.
Although the ranking was lower than expected, this tangible improvement was undeniable.
With Rank 99 Limit Douluo, coupled with the advantages of the Rakshasa God Trial, who else on the Douluo Continent could stop the progress of her Spirit Hall?
The great cause of unification was just around the corner!
However, the Heavenly Dao's reward did not end.
The heavenly curtain's golden light flashed again:
[Martial Soul Ranking List, Eighteenth Place: Soul Eating Spider Emperor]
[Holder: Bibi Dong (Spirit Hall)]
[Rating: Top-tier attack system/Spiritual system Beast Spirit, possessing the eerie abilities to devour Souls and weaken Spiritual power.]
[Reward: Your Soul Power solidifies by one fold, all Soul Ring years increased by one thousand years]
Another slightly thinner golden light fell, merging into Bibi Dong's body.
Immediately, her newly promoted Rank 99 Soul Power instantly boiled and doubled, rapidly compressing her Soul Power, and the quality of her Soul Power increased by another fold.
This sense of immense power, as if she could control heaven and earth and tear everything apart, made her intoxicated.
At the same time, all of her Soul Rings were tempered again, their years increased by one thousand years, and their radiance grew even deeper.
Especially those several black ten-thousand-year Soul Rings, their color had deepened to a brilliant shine, faintly transforming towards dark red!
Ranked twice!
Double rewards!
Bibi Dong's strength reached an unprecedented Peak at this moment!
After the initial joy, Bibi Dong quickly calmed down, and a cold glint flashed in her Phoenix eyes.
If the rewards for Ranks nineteen and eighteen were so Heaven-Defying, what about those higher up?
If they were obtained by hostile forces—
"Gui Mei, Yue Guan!"
Her voice was cold, carrying an undeniable killing intent.
"Your subordinates are here!" The two immediately responded.
"Immediately send more people, use all intelligence networks, and keep a close eye on every subsequent person on the list for me! Record the location and general area where the reward falls! Once a Genius Soul Master from a non-Spirit Hall faction is found to have obtained an Opportunity—"
A ruthless glint flashed in Bibi Dong's eyes, "Recruit them if possible; if not, you know what to do! Absolutely no potential threats can be allowed to grow!"
"Yes, Her Majesty the Pontiff!"
Gui Mei and Yue Guan's hearts tightened, and they immediately took their leave.
They knew that Her Majesty the Pontiff intended to use this Opportunity to either recruit Geniuses or nip them in the bud!
Bibi Dong watched their departing figures, feeling the surging power within her, and a cold smile played on her lips.
Although the appearance of the heavenly curtain brought variables, she, Bibi Dong, would utilize everything to transform these variables into stepping stones for Spirit Hall's unification of the Douluo Continent!
...Inside the Hall of Worship.
Qian Daoliu quietly sensed the Limit Douluo aura that suddenly erupted and quickly receded from the direction of the Supreme Pontiff Palace, as well as the undisguised cold killing intent. A trace of complexity and solemnity flashed in his golden eyes.
"She still broke through, and her strength seems to be even greater than that of an ordinary Rank 99."
Qian Daoliu sighed softly, "The Rakshasa God's Legacy, plus this Heavenly Dao reward, alas, a moment of misplaced kindness back then!"
Golden Crocodile Douluo and the others behind him also had solemn expressions.
Bibi Dong's rapid growth and ruthless methods had long exceeded their control.
Now that her strength had greatly increased, the balance of power within Spirit Hall was likely to shift again.
"Big Brother, we—"
Golden Crocodile Douluo hesitated to speak further.
Qian Daoliu waved his hand, his gaze returning to the heavenly curtain: "Let's wait and see. Xue'er is the hope for the future. Right now, what I'm more concerned about is what kind of Martial Soul can surpass her twin spirits and Rank at the forefront."
The hearts of all the worshipers tightened.
Bibi Dong's twin spirits only ranked eighteenth and nineteenth; how terrifying must the seventeen Martial Souls ahead of them be?
And how high could the Young Lord's Seraphim Rank?
The entire Douluo Continent was completely boiling, shocked, and undercurrents surged due to these consecutively announced rankings.
All major forces began to move, their eyes fixed on the heavenly curtain, while also warily scanning their surroundings, trying to find the next lucky individual.
The release of the martial soul ranking list was like a giant stone thrown into a calm lake, completely stirring up the situation on the Douluo Continent.
And everyone understood that this was just the beginning.
Even more shocking rankings were yet to come!
