Chapter 172 Power Struggles, The Sky Reopens.
Gu Yuena tore through space and departed. Not long after, another figure silently appeared not far away.
This person was none other than
Rong Nianbing, a first-level god of the God Realm, the God of Emotions.
The moment he descended, his divine sense spread out like mercury, capturing the remaining aura in the void.
"The Silver Dragon King…it really is her aura!"
Rong Nianbing's handsome face showed unprecedented solemnity, his eyes sharp as knives.
"Although only a trace remains, the pure power of the Dragon God's bloodline and the spatial fluctuations are unmistakable!"
"She's actually hiding in the Douluo Continent!"
As a first-level god of the God Realm, although Rong Nianbing did not personally participate in the God Realm war during the Dragon God's rebellion, he knew a great deal about the Dragon God's split bodies—the Golden Dragon King and the Silver Dragon King—through God Realm texts and oral accounts from his predecessors.
The Silver Dragon King controlled elemental power, possessed extraordinary wisdom, and harbored a deep resentment towards the God Realm.
Such a forbidden existence, comparable to a God-King, had been lurking in the Douluo Continent, a subordinate realm of the God Realm, yet the God Realm remained completely unaware!
This was undoubtedly a huge hidden danger!
Especially in the current state of the Douluo Continent!
"Just how many unforeseen events are hidden in this Douluo Continent?"
Rong Nianbing took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing the turmoil in his heart.
The Heavenly Curtain, spatial rifts, the Silver Dragon King…the waters here were far deeper and more dangerous than he had imagined!
The most urgent task was to immediately report the reappearance of the Silver Dragon King to the God Realm Committee!
This was enough to overturn the God Realm's original assessment of the situation on the Douluo Continent!
With this thought in mind, Rong Nianbing no longer hesitated. His figure transformed into a streak of seven-colored light, instantly tearing through space.
He returned to the God Realm at top speed.
Douluo Continent.
Not long after Lu Xiao, Gu Yuena, and the others returned.
"Boom boom boom!"
The golden canopy, silent for so long, suddenly trembled violently!
An aura, more magnificent and solemn than ever before when a ranking was announced, emanated from the canopy, instantly covering the entire continent!
On the continent, whether it was the Soul Master armies preparing for battle, the anxious ordinary people, or the high-ranking officials of various forces, everyone was captivated by this sudden change in the canopy!
"Look! The golden canopy is moving!"
"Something's changed! A new ranking is about to appear!"
"This aura… is so powerful! It feels more significant than the previous Martial Soul Ranking and Martial Soul Fusion Skill Ranking!"
Under the watchful eyes of countless people, the name of the next ranking appeared on the canopy. The three large characters, [Power Ranking], stretched across the sky, their strokes like dragons!
They contained an unparalleled majesty, ruling over all the wilderness and overlooking all living beings!
Immediately afterward, lines of clear, rule-filled golden characters flowed down like a waterfall, proclaiming the rules and significance of this ranking to all living beings.
[The cycle of all things, the rise and fall of powers, is the natural course of civilization's evolution. Therefore, a Power Ranking has been established to observe the favor bestowed upon the Douluo Continent and the gathering of its heroes.]
[Evaluation Criteria: A comprehensive assessment is made based on multiple dimensions, including the power of its top-tier experts (strength, quantity, and potential), its inherited heritage (cultivation techniques, resources, and secret realms), its fortune and opportunities, its influence on the continent's overall situation, and its development potential, using the rules of the Heavenly Curtain.]
[Ranking Scope: Covers all existing powers on the Douluo Continent, including but not limited to sects, empires, academies, reclusive families, and special races.]
[Ranking Seats: Ten seats are allocated, including only the top ten powers based on comprehensive evaluation.]
The Power Ranking!
A ranking of the top ten powers in overall strength on the Douluo Continent! The moment this ranking was released, the entire continent erupted in excitement!
If previous individual rankings, such as the Martial Soul Ranking, Soul Master Ranking, Combat Power Ranking, and Martial Soul Fusion Skill Ranking, were stages for heroes and powerful figures, then this Power Ranking is an arena for the struggle between power and foundation!
It is the authoritative benchmark for truly measuring the status and weight of a force on the Douluo Continent!
Which sect has the deepest foundation?
Which empire is the strongest?
Which hidden forces are unknown yet terrifyingly powerful?
All these questions will be answered one by one with the release of the list!
More importantly, this comes at a sensitive time when the Kill Ranking is hanging high and foreign invasion is imminent!
The release of this power ranking is tantamount to a comprehensive review of the local forces of the Douluo Continent!
Who makes the list and what their ranking is!
It's not just about face and glory.
It could also affect the power of discourse, resource allocation, and even survival in future wars!
"Power Ranking! It's actually a power ranking! Great! Finally, we can see the true strength of the major powers!"
"Top ten! Only ten spots! The competition will be unimaginably fierce!"
"What do you think the Spirit Hall will rank? What about the two empires? What about the three upper sects?"
"Don't forget Beidou Academy! With those monster teachers, I think Beidou Academy can definitely be in the top three, or even... challenge for first place!"
"And what about the Soul Beast race? Those ferocious beast kings of the Star Dou Great Forest, the Silver Dragon King... do they count as a power?"
"..."
The discussions swept across every corner of the continent like a tsunami.
In the tense atmosphere of preparation for war, the unveiling of this power ranking added a different kind of excitement, anticipation, and trepidation.
The high-ranking officials of the major powers were even more on edge.
Their gazes were fixed on the sky.
Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.
Ning Fengzhi, Sword Douluo, and Bone Douluo gathered together, their expressions serious.
Ning Fengzhi solemnly murmured, "On the power rankings, my Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School is renowned for its wealth. Our top combatants include Uncle Sword and Uncle Bone, and among the younger generation, Rongrong is at the Beidou Academy... I wonder if we can make it into the top ten?"
Chen Xin nodded seriously and said, "It depends on the evaluation criteria. If judged purely by combat strength, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School might be slightly inferior."
"But in terms of resources, influence, and potential... we might not be without a fighting chance."
Gu Rong echoed, "It all depends on how the sky judges it."
Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Clan.
Sect Master Yu Yuanzhen's eyes burned brightly: "My Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Clan is the number one beast spirit sect in the world, with more than one Title Douluo, and a profound foundation!"
"Our clan will definitely have a place in the top ten!"
Star Dou Great Forest, core area.
Di Tian and the other ferocious beasts also saw the sky and looked towards Gu Yuena who had returned.
Di Tian said in a deep voice, "My lord, in this power ranking, does my Soul Beast clan count as a power?"
Xiong Jun, naturally unconvinced, roared, "Of course we do! We are powerful and rule the Star Dou Great Forest, why can't we count?"
Gu Yuena's voice drifted over, carrying a hint of coldness and arrogance: "Whether we are on the list or not, the Heavenly Canopy will decide."
"My Soul Beast clan has existed for countless years, why do we need the recognition of others? Just prepare for battle."
Under the watchful eyes of everyone!
On the Heavenly Canopy, the dazzling golden light symbolizing the official start of the power ranking announcement finally began to condense and shrink.
In the end, it transformed into a clear line of large characters:
[Douluo Continent Power Ranking, Tenth Place, to be Revealed Soon!]
The continent instantly fell silent, countless people holding their breath, waiting for the name of the first power to be listed.
Is it some old-established sect?
One of the two great empires?
Or... some unexpected dark horse?
