Chapter 180: The Terrifying Foundation of Spirit Hall
Sea God Island, in front of the Sea God Hall.
Bo Saixi, dressed in a red gown, stood atop the sacred steps!
Behind her, Sea Dragon, Sea Illusion, Sea Spear, Sea Star, Sea Ghost, Sea Horse, and Sea Maiden, the seven Sacred Pillar Guardians, stood solemnly, their auras powerful and faintly resonating with the Sacred Pillars.
Looking at the unreserved exposure and generous rewards for Sea God Island on the heavenly curtain, Bo Saixi's expression was calm, as if she had long expected it.
"High Priest,"
Sea Dragon Douluo stepped forward and said respectfully.
"The heavenly curtain rewards have arrived, bringing great benefits to our Sea God Island. Especially the Sacred Pillar Baptism and the enhancement of the Great Defense Array, which are enough to give our island more confidence when facing any threat."
Bo Saixi nodded slightly: "Make arrangements immediately. All eligible islanders will receive the Spirit Ring Baptism. You must seize the opportunity to deepen your connection with your respective Sacred Pillars."
"Resources will be used to reinforce the Sacred Pillars and improve the cultivation environment on the island. As for the cultivation acceleration, it is a gift from the heavenly curtain; all subjects must cherish it."
She looked up toward the distant Douluo Continent, a flash of depth appearing in her eyes.
"Chaos is about to erupt on the continent, with external enemies lurking nearby. Although our Sea God Island is tucked away in a corner, we cannot remain unaffected."
"From today onward, strengthen maritime patrols, especially on several important routes leading to the continent, and watch for any unusual activity from beyond the deep sea."
"..."
"We obey the High Priest's decree!"
The seven guardians responded in unison.
Bo Saixi turned her gaze back to the heavenly curtain. On it, after the rewards for Sea God Island were announced, the golden light did not immediately dissipate.
Instead, a more intense and heart-palpitating change began!
Next, the third place on the Douluo Continent power ranking list is about to be revealed!
Almost everyone had the same answer in their hearts!
Third place, Spirit Hall!
This behemoth that has ruled the continent's Spirit Master's world for countless years, possessing the most Titled Douluos, the largest Soul Master network, and the most unfathomable Supreme Pontiff and Legacies!
The true Peak showdown!
Starts truly from this moment!
[Douluo Continent power ranking list, Third Place: Spirit Hall]
[Reason for Ranking]: Spirit Hall has a long Legacy and an unfathomable foundation. Its top-tier combat strength is unsurpassed on the continent, possessing three Limit Douluos plus fifteen Titled Douluo-level experts. The number of Soul Douluo and Spirit Saint-level experts far exceeds any other single power. It simultaneously holds the top-tier Divine Legacies of the Angel God and Rakshasa God, with strategic resources and intelligence capabilities ranking first on the continent. Overall, it ranks third.
[Ranking Rewards]:
1. Stabilization of Faith and Authority: The overall cohesion of faith in Spirit Hall is increased by 20%, and the resonance with the Angel God and Rakshasa God Legacies is slightly enhanced.
2. Temple Spirit Ring Blessing: All registered core members of Spirit Hall will have the age of all their Soul Rings immediately increased by 1,500 years.
3. Consolidation of Resource Hegemony: Three random hundred-thousand-year Soul Bones, various rare metals, medicinal herbs, etc.
4. Spirit Holy City Domain: Within the next year, the cultivation speed of all eligible Spirit Hall members in the Core Area of Spirit City will increase by 35%... Third place, Spirit Hall!
When this result was announced along with that suffocatingly vast aura and the terrifyingly detailed description of its strength!
The entire Douluo Continent fell into a deathly silence!
One could hear a pin drop!
Countless eyes stared fixedly at the words on the heavenly curtain: three Limit Douluos and fifteen Titled Douluos!
Minds went blank, and Souls trembled!
Although everyone knew Spirit Hall was strong and was the uncrowned king of the continent's Spirit Master's world!
Although various previous rankings on the heavenly curtain had more or less revealed part of Spirit Hall's foundation.
But when this terrifying family background was presented to the entire continent in such a naked and systematic way!
The impact it brought was still devastating!
"Besides three Limit Douluos, there are fifteen Titled Douluos?"
"This... how is this possible? Spirit Hall has actually hidden such terrifying power?"
"No wonder Spirit Hall could rule the Spirit Master's world for so many years! This strength is simply despair-inducing!"
"They were actually rewarded with three hundred-thousand-year Soul Bones, so envious!"
"..."
After the dead silence came an even more violent uproar and uncontrollable fear!
Many Soul Masters from small and medium-sized powers, and even ordinary members of some major powers!
At this moment, their gazes toward Spirit City were filled with deep awe and a sense of powerlessness.
This strength had completely exceeded the scope of their understanding!
If the previous Clear Sky Sect and Sea God Island still allowed people to see hope for catching up or contending!
Then facing Spirit Hall, which possessed three Limit Douluos and fifteen Titled Douluos, and also held two Divine Legacies!
Any thought of challenge seemed utterly laughable!
This is the true foundation of the behemoth that has ruled the continent's Spirit Master's world for countless years!
...The core of the Star Dou Great Forest, the Lake of Life.
Di Tian, Bear Lord, Myriad Demon King, Bi Ji, Zi Ji, and other Ferocious beast kings gathered.
Looking at the heart-stopping description of Spirit Hall's strength on the heavenly curtain.
The slight excitement brought by the possibility of the Soul Beast Clan being ranked was now replaced by a heavy gloom.
"Three Limit Douluos, fifteen Titled Douluos..."
Di Tian's low voice carried an unmistakable gravity and a hint of bitterness.
"Humans have actually developed to such an extent without making a sound!"
"This power already rivals the top combat strength my clan can mobilize on the surface!"
Bear Lord roared irritably, his sharp claws plowing deep furrows into the ground: "What are you afraid of! No matter how many humans there are or how many Titled Douluos there are, they are just a rabble!"
"Our Soul Beast Clan has powerful individual combat strength and is led by the Lord! If we truly fight to the death, we might not necessarily lose!"
The Myriad Demon King's voice was feminine yet filled with deep concern: "Bear Lord, this is not a simple comparison of numbers."
"Of the three Limit Douluos, Qian Daoliu and Bibi Dong are both involved in Divine Legacies, and their combat strength cannot be judged by common sense."
"And as for the other fifteen Titled Douluos, who knows how many of them have Super Douluo level combat strength, and this is just what's on the surface... The cultivation speed of human Soul Masters, combined with their Legacies and resources, is simply too fast."
"Although our clan has the Lord, we are indeed at a disadvantage in terms of the number of top-tier combatants."
Bi Ji's beautiful eyes were full of worry: "What's even more terrifying is their potential for development. Under the heavenly curtain rewards, the strength of their backbone and younger generation will increase even faster."
"As time goes by, the gap between our clan and humans will likely grow wider and wider."
The gazes of all the Ferocious beasts involuntarily turned toward the depths of the Lake of Life!
That was where the Silver Dragon King Gu Yuena was in secluded cultivation.
Gu Yuena's cold and calm voice came from the center of the lake, soothing the beasts' unease.
"There is no need to panic. The rapid development of humans indeed has its unique advantages, and Spirit Hall's strength was long expected."
"However, our Soul Beast Clan also has its own foundation and is by no means at the mercy of others!"
"The heavenly curtain ranked Spirit Hall third, not first or second, which already shows that on this continent, our Soul Beast Clan does not yet need to fear Spirit Hall!"
She paused, her voice carrying a hint of decisiveness: "Di Tian, hear my command."
"First, shrink the range of external activities and strengthen the defense and concealment of the Core Area."
"Second, select the most promising young Soul Beasts in the clan and concentrate resources on their training, especially those with special talents or ancient Bloodlines."
"Third, closely monitor the movements of the Abyss Fissure and Spirit Hall's subsequent actions. External enemies are coming, and as for internal threats... we need to make plans early."
"Yes! My Lord!"
The Ferocious beasts accepted the command in unison!
Though their hearts were still heavy, with the Lord there, they had a pillar of support.
