The Second Era Powerhouse Ranking

[Douluo Continent First Era Powerhouse Ranking, No. 18: The Six Enshrined of Sea God Island and the Five Great Elders of the Clear Sky Sect!]

[Affiliation: Clear Sky Sect]

[Strength: Level 92–94]

[Martial Soul: Clear Sky Hammer]

[Assessment: No specific feats of strength have been recorded. Given the nature of their martial soul, they are stronger than the vast majority of Title Douluo.]

[Affiliation: Sea God Island]

[Strength: Level 92–94]

[Martial Souls: Sea Spear, Sea Illusion, Sea Horse, Sea Star, Sea Maiden, Sea Ghost]

[Assessment: Rare Title Douluo among Ocean Soul Masters. Their land-based combat ability is weak, but they are powerful in the ocean.]

[Their strength is exceptional. Together, they represent the peak combat power of both land-based and oceanic soul masters.]

[Reward: Soul Power increased by one level, soul ring age increased by two thousand years, one mysterious blessing!]

The Heavenly Curtain Ranking came to an end, leaving the world in an uproar.

"The Clear Sky Sect has been hiding its strength so well. It actually has five Title Douluo?!"

"Damn, those old bastards! No wonder they share the same roots as Tang San. If a major battle really breaks out and the Clear Sky Sect joins in, I'm not saying who'll get blown to pieces."

"Sea God Island isn't weak either. I never imagined the ocean had such a powerful lineup."

Countless forces were shaken.

Soul masters from the Second and Third Eras were also full of admiration.

"The Clear Sky Sect and Sea God Island had such impressive lineups ten thousand years ago. That's truly remarkable. Even back then, Title Douluo already stood at the pinnacle of the world."

"Indeed. Even today, forces like those would be overlords in their own right. Truly extraordinary!"

"No wonder they've managed to pass down their legacy for ten thousand years!"

The Heavenly Curtain did not come to a close.

After announcing the rankings of the powerhouses of the First Era of Douluo Continent, its golden light grew even brighter.

Beside the rankings already announced, another ranking appeared.

[Douluo Continent Second Era Powerhouse Ranking!]

[The ranking includes all current powerhouses, excluding soul masters who have not yet matured or those with great potential for the future.]

[Note: A person may appear on the ranking of only one era and cannot be listed more than once.]

[Douluo Continent Second Era Powerhouse Ranking, No. 20: The elders of the Body Sect, the guardians of the Star Luo Empire, the Heaven Dou Empire, and the Dou Ling Empire, and the elders of the Holy Spirit Cult!]

[Overall assessment: These powerhouses keep a low profile, or conceal their identities, so they will not be listed individually. Those of comparable strength have been ranked together at No. 20!]

[Reward: Soul Power increased by one level, soul ring age increased by one thousand years, one mysterious blessing!]

Golden light blossomed from the Heavenly Curtain and spread across the continent.

The Body Sect, the three great empires, the Holy Spirit Cult.

In an instant,

the continent erupted into an uproar.

"What?! Even Evil Soul Masters can make the ranking?!"

"This is a ranking of powerhouses, not a ranking of good and evil. Of course they can make it."

"Exactly. The Heavenly Curtain clearly said this is a ranking of powerhouses. That means it covers the strong across all of Douluo Continent. It seems the only requirement is to reach Title Douluo."

"..."

Clearly, the Evil Soul Masters' appearance on the ranking left everyone deeply shaken.

No one had ever imagined that the ranking would include Evil Soul Masters.

The First Era of Douluo Continent.

The leaders of the various forces looked grave. "Damn, not a single force on that ranking belongs to our era. Could all our forces have been wiped out ten thousand years from now?"

"Are you fucking blind? Isn't the Star Luo Empire right there?"

"The Star Luo Empire already has a Title Douluo guarding it. It's only natural that it could survive."

Spirit Hall.

The moment Qian Daoliu and the others saw the ranking, their faces grew solemn.

"Could Spirit Hall have vanished into the long river of history?"

"Impossible. Spirit Hall is the overlord of this era. Who could destroy us?"

"Indeed. Unless an even more terrifying force appears and uproots Spirit Hall, who could possibly stand against us?"

The people of Spirit Hall did not understand.

They were not the only ones. Forces all across the continent were uneasy.

The Clear Sky Sect, the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, the Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Sect... Which of these overlord-level forces wasn't worried?

Everyone wanted their legacy to endure for ten thousand years.

Compared with the shock of the first two eras,

the people of the Third Era of Douluo Continent seemed much calmer.

They knew what had happened in the Second Era.

"I can't believe the Evil Soul Masters were included on the Heavenly Ranking. Will the Abyss Plane of our era be included too?"

"Who knows? But this could give the Evil Soul Masters a chance to grow."

"..."

At that moment,

the leaders of the various forces all wore grim expressions.

Shrek Academy.

Yun Ming gazed at the Heavenly Curtain and snorted. "Damn Evil Soul Masters. If they get their hands on this opportunity, I'm afraid they'll make another major move!"

Ya Li shook her head. "This is the Heavenly Curtain's decision. Even the gods haven't appeared, so clearly no one can influence it."

Ya Li had an Angel martial soul and naturally understood this.

The Heavenly Curtain bestowed its blessings on all living things.

Good or bad, it would surely grant them its favor.

The so-called Great Dao was impartial. It gave every living being a chance, even if they were no more than a speck of dust.

With an Angel martial soul, she could sense that impartial will even more clearly.

The Great Dao would even let you replace it, if that was what you wanted.

Because it was the Great Dao.

In the sea.

The Demon Empress gazed up at the Heavenly Curtain and laughed heartily.

"Ha ha ha! With my strength, I may not make the top three on the Heavenly Ranking, but I should at least make the top ten. I wonder what kind of opportunity I'll get!"

"Shrek, War God Temple..."

"You'll all tremble before me!!!"

The Heavenly Curtain gave no one time to recover from their shock.

Amid everyone's anticipation, the Heavenly Ranking revealed its next entry.

[Douluo Continent Second Era Powerhouse Ranking, No. 19: Jing Hongchen!]

[Name: Jing Hongchen]

[Strength: Level 94]

[Martial Soul: Toad]

[Assessment: His martial soul is unusual, combining spiritual power and control. He has achieved remarkable success in the Soul Tool Domain and is one of the contemporary Level 9 Soul Engineers!]

[Reward: Soul Power increased by one level, one random Level 10 Soul Tool blueprint, one mysterious blessing!]

The image on the Heavenly Curtain faded, leaving people from all three eras somewhat surprised.

The people of the Second Era were astonished.

"That's Jing Hongchen of Mingde Hall. He made the ranking too?!"

"Jing Hongchen is powerful in his own right. His martial soul just isn't suited to direct offense. If he used a Level 9 Soul Tool, he could probably fight a Level 96 or even Level 97 Title Douluo!"

Mingde Hall.

Feeling his Soul Power change, Jing Hongchen was startled.

"Even I, Jing Hongchen, made the ranking?"

He had always considered himself only average among the various forces. He hadn't expected to rank at all.

"Wait?!"

While Jing Hongchen was still reeling, a blueprint appeared before him.

"A Level 10 Soul Tool blueprint?!"

Jing Hongchen reached for it excitedly. Wearing his glasses, he looked as if he wanted to bury his face in the blueprint.

"A... a Level 10 Soul Tool!!!"

He had spent his whole life pursuing Level 10 Soul Tools. Now that he had actually obtained one, he was overwhelmed with excitement.

"No!"

Jing Hongchen hurriedly put the blueprint away in his storage Soul Tool. "I need to study this blueprint thoroughly before anything else..."

He got up, intending to find somewhere quiet to study the Level 10 Soul Tool.

He quickly gathered his things.

Then he opened the door.

Clang!

A long spear pressed against his head, forcing him back step by step.

Countless Title Douluo and Soul Douluo had surrounded Mingde Hall, leaving no way in or out.

"Jing Hongchen, the empire has treated you well..."

"It's time you repaid it."

"Hand over the Level 10 Soul Tool blueprint!"
