Chapter 23 The Sky Reappears, Douluo Star Battle Power Ranking!
Time flies like an arrow; in the blink of an eye, a whole month has passed since the world-shaking review of the "Top Ten Martial Souls" and the announcement of the Top Ten Combat Power Ranking.
During this month, Douluo Star seemed to fall into an eerie calm.
......
Om-! ! !
Without warning, a grand, vast, and supremely majestic aura instantly enveloped the entire Douluo Star!
This aura carried no aggression, yet it caused every living being, whether a titled Douluo or an ordinary civilian, whether a ten-thousand-year-old soul beast or a sea monster, to feel a chill run down their spine at this moment.
Inside the dessert,
The cup in Liuying's hand trembled slightly, and a few drops of scalding cocoa splashed onto the back of her hand, but she was completely unaware.
She looked up abruptly, and the ease that had been in her beautiful eyes vanished instantly, replaced by a deep solemnity and a hint of barely perceptible helplessness.
"Here we go again...?"
She murmured softly, her heart beating faster than usual.
That feeling of being watched by some higher-dimensional being returned.
Above the sky, the originally azure sky was instantly replaced by endless golden light.
The golden light was not dazzling, but rather filled with holiness and solemnity, as if it were the first ray of light at the beginning of creation, dyeing the whole world a glorious gold.
Douluo Continent, Sun Moon Continent, Seagod Island, the Far North...
At this moment, countless eyes turned to the sky.
Wuhun City, the Pope's Palace.
Inside the towering Papal Palace, the atmosphere was originally solemn and oppressive.
Wearing a long, shimmering gold dress and a nine-curved purple-gold crown, Bibi Dong sat regally on the papal throne, a symbol of supreme power.
She rested her chin on one hand, her exquisite face revealing no emotion, only her deep eyes occasionally flashing with a chilling glint.
Below the steps, two figures stood respectfully.
The person on the left has skin as delicate as a baby's and an alluring appearance; it is none other than Chrysanthemum Douluo Yue Guan.
On the right is a figure shrouded in a black robe, exuding a ghostly aura; he is none other than the Ghost Douluo, Ghostly Demon.
The two were reporting some things when suddenly that mysterious aura that caused the heavens and earth to change color descended!
boom!
The entire Papal Palace seemed to tremble slightly under this aura.
Bibi Dong's pupils suddenly contracted, and her previous lazy posture vanished instantly. She stood up abruptly from her throne like a drawn sword.
The scepter in his hand slammed heavily on the ground, making a crisp "thud".
"Finally... has it started?"
Ignoring the two generals below, she flashed and transformed into a purple streak of light, instantly appearing on the spacious terrace of the Papal Palace.
Yue Guan and Gui Mei exchanged a glance, both seeing the horror in each other's eyes. They quickly turned around and followed closely behind Bibi Dong.
At this moment, golden light surged in the sky, like a boiling golden ocean.
Lines of powerful, vigorous characters, seemingly formed from the laws of the Dao, began to slowly emerge from the sea of gold.

[Coming Soon!]
Looking at those large characters, Bibi Dong's beautiful face showed an extremely complicated expression.
It was solemn, it was apprehensive, yet it also contained a hint of undisguised ambition and expectation.
As the possessor of twin martial souls, and as the youngest and most brilliant pope in the history of the Spirit Hall, she has absolute confidence in her strength.
In this age where gods are absent, she believes she is second to none.
but……
"That Sam..." Bibi Dong gripped the scepter tightly, her knuckles turning slightly white from the force. "If that monster with the power to destroy planets is also included in the power rankings, then I..."
What worries her even more is whether there are other powerful individuals hidden in this world that she doesn't know about.
If this list is released and it turns out that Bibi Dong can't even get into the top five, then the prestige of the Spirit Hall in ruling the continent will suffer a devastating blow!
The landscape of mainland China will be completely reshaped because of this list!
"Your Holiness, you need not worry."
Just then, a soft, high-pitched voice, like a duck's quack, rang out behind Bibi Dong.
Chrysanthemum Douluo Yue Guan bowed slightly, his face plastered with a fawning smile, his peach blossom eyes filled with ingratiation:
"With Your Majesty's unparalleled talent, the power of your twin martial souls, and the strength of my Spirit Hall, you are sure to rank among the top in this list of ten strongest warriors, and perhaps even reach the top spot!"
"How can those cowardly rats compare to His Holiness the Pope, who is at the height of his power?"
Although she knew it was flattery, Bibi Dong's tense expression eased slightly. She tilted her head slightly and gave Yue Guan a cold glance: "Hmph, if only it were that simple. Don't forget, the Grand Elder is still in the Offering Hall."
Upon hearing the words "Great Offering," both Yue Guan and Gui Mei trembled involuntarily, immediately falling silent and daring not to say another word.
In the shrine, before the statue of the angel.
This is the forbidden area of the Spirit Hall, and also the place closest to the gods.
An elderly man dressed in a simple gray robe stood quietly with his hands behind his back beneath the enormous six-winged angel statue.
He looked ordinary, like any old man you'd see anywhere, but if you looked closely, you'd notice that the space around him was slightly distorted, as if the heavens and earth were bowing down to him.
A thousand streams.
One of the three peerless Douluo of this era, invincible in the sky, and the spokesperson of the Angel God.
He looked up at the sky, and two beams of golden light, like sharp swords, burst forth from his seemingly cloudy old eyes, piercing straight into the heavens.
"Combat strength ranking..." Qian Daoliu's voice was old and calm, yet it carried an undeniable authority.
"Tang Chen has been missing for many years, and Poseidon lives in seclusion in a remote corner. In this world, apart from that mysterious 'Sam,' I want to see who else can rank above me."
There was no fear in his eyes, only the arrogance of the strong.
As a level 99 Limit Douluo, he had stood at the pinnacle of human soul masters for far too long, so long that he had begun to feel lonely.
Poseidon Island, outside the Temple of Poseidon.
The once turbulent sea, now bathed in the golden light of the sky, became as calm as a mirror.
A noblewoman dressed in a red robe and holding a scepter stood on the stone steps in front of the Temple of Poseidon.
The sea breeze caressed her long blue hair, making her look like a sea sprite.
Poseidon.
The ocean is invincible; the spokesperson for the sea god.
She gazed at the sky, a faint trace of worry in her beautiful eyes.
"Tang Chen... will you show up?"
More than the so-called rankings, she was concerned about whether the name that had disappeared for decades would appear on the list.
That was her lifelong obsession, and also the only flaw in her heart.
Deep within the core area of the Starry Sky Forest.
This is a forbidden zone for humans, a place even titled Douluo dare not easily set foot in.
Beneath a vast lake teeming with life, there exists a separate space.
Silver light flowed here, and a colossal silver dragon, its body immeasurably enormous, coiled in the void.
Suddenly, the enormous dragon head slightly raised, and a pair of purple eyes slowly opened.
The pressure contained in those eyes was countless times more terrifying than that of Qian Daoliu, Poseidon, or even Bibi Dong!
That's god-level power!
Silver Dragon King, Gu Yuena.
"Power Ranking... Interesting."
A cool, noble voice, seemingly untouched by worldly concerns, echoed throughout the space.
Beside her, the beast god Di Tian, who had transformed into human form, knelt on one knee and respectfully said:
"My lord, the threat of 'Sam' has not been eliminated, and now the Sky Curtain has created a power ranking system. I'm afraid the human world is about to undergo a major upheaval. Should we...?"
"Just watch."
The Silver Dragon King's voice remained indifferent, but his purple eyes were fixed on the golden light reflected through the lake.
"I also want to know how many other threats are still lurking on this planet. Is that 'Sam'... really the only variable?"
At this moment, throughout the entire Douluo Star, whether it be the high and mighty rulers or the humble ants struggling for survival, everyone's heartbeat pulsates in rhythm with the sky.
The golden light above the sky began to recede, transforming into countless golden particles that converged into a massive pillar of light.
In the center of the pillar of light, the powerful and vigorous characters, carrying endless sharpness, finally began to slowly emerge. Every stroke seemed to stir the energy of heaven and earth, causing everyone's breath to stop.
The rankings are about to begin!
