The Heaven Dou Empire's imperial guards, led by the Shrek group, surged like a tidal wave, repeatedly crashing against the majestic yet crumbling pass.
The Spirit Empire's defensive line retreated steadily, showing signs of collapse, before the nearly insurmountable divine power of Sea God Tang San.
"Hahahaha!"
Tang San, wielding the Sea God Trident, stood mid-air, effortlessly unleashing the Thirteen Halberds of Gold. Each swing mowed down swathes of Spirit Empire Spirit Masters.
He roared with laughter, his voice filled with the joy of an assured victory.
"Bibi Dong, Qian Renxue, do you see? This is the end of your Spirit Empire!"
"Resisting stubbornly will only lead to more casualties!"
Not far away, Yu Xiaogang, observing the battle, stood with his hands behind his back, a self-satisfied smile gracing his face.
"Little San is right."
"In the face of absolute power, all schemes and tricks will be laid bare. This battle is finally drawing to a close."
Xiao Wu followed closely behind Tang San, the flames of vengeance burning in her beautiful eyes. She stared intently at the purple figure atop the city walls.
"Bibi Dong! You wicked woman!"
"The hatred for my mother's murder is irreconcilable! Today, I will make you pay with blood!"
On the walls of Jialing Pass, Bibi Dong and Qian Renxue stood side by side.
Hearing the taunts and insults from below, the mother and daughter's expressions turned extremely grim.
Their robes fluttered wildly in the wind, and a trace of blood stained the corners of their mouths.
Jialing Pass, the Spirit Empire's last bastion, was in dire straits.
The defensive line was breached in multiple places, and the soldiers suffered heavy casualties. They could clearly feel that this mighty pass was about to fall.
Just as the battle was on the verge of complete collapse, the sky suddenly changed!
The dazzling golden light instantly overshadowed all the spirit skill auras on the battlefield, casting a golden hue on everyone's faces.
Tang San's attack faltered. He looked up sharply at the sky, a flicker of surprise in his eyes.
"Is the number one on the Exotic Treasures Ranking about to be revealed?"
Ning Rongrong leaned on Oscar beside her, gazing up at the sky, her voice filled with unconcealed curiosity.
"The number one on the Exotic Treasures Ranking... what kind of exotic treasure could it be?"
"To actually surpass the Asura God Sword, the Angel Holy Sword, and that heaven-defying Eternal Life Pendant to rank first!"
Oscar chimed in, his tone excited.
"It must be an exotic treasure unprecedented and unparalleled on this continent!"
On the other side, Zhu Zhuqing's figure flickered in and out of the shadows, her gaze clear, but her focus was different from the others.
"More than the exotic treasure itself, I'm more curious about who holds it."
Her voice was crisp, carrying a unique calmness.
"Anyone who possesses this exotic treasure must be an extraordinary being. Otherwise, how could they be worthy of the title of the number one exotic treasure on Douluo Continent?"
Zhu Zhuqing's heart was filled with a desire to investigate this mysterious owner.
To possess such a treasure, what kind of astonishing talent and peerless grace must that person have?
Xiao Wu snorted and pouted.
"The number one on the Exotic Treasures Ranking? Doesn't that mean all eyes on the continent will be focused on that person?"
"Hmph, what a show-off!"
The crowd buzzed with discussion, but only Yu Xiaogang's expression was particularly peculiar.
He froze for a moment, then his eyes erupted with an incredibly fervent light, and his breathing grew rapid.
A thought, like a wildly growing vine, instantly ensnared his entire mind.
"My... my Spirit Master theory... it's not actually going to rank first, is it?!"
Yu Xiaogang's heart pounded wildly, the more he thought about it, the more possible it seemed!
What is an exotic treasure?
A rare and precious item is an exotic treasure!
His Spirit Master theory, the culmination of his life's work, was the greatest crystallization of wisdom in the history of Douluo Continent!
Wasn't that "precious" enough?
"It must be! The judging criteria of the golden rankings are beyond ordinary people's comprehension!"
Yu Xiaogang trembled with excitement, his cheeks flushing red.
"This is the number one on the Exotic Treasures Ranking! It surpasses all divine weapons, magical artifacts, and heavenly treasures on the entire Douluo Continent!"
"If I can reach the top of this list, the whole world... no, everyone in the entire God Realm will worship me, admire me!"
He could already picture himself standing at the pinnacle of the world, receiving the prostrations of countless powerful beings.
He would no longer be the trash ridiculed by the world, but the foremost theoretical master in millions of years on the continent! The unparalleled foremost figure in the field of theory!
On the battlements of Jialing Pass.
Bibi Dong watched the changes in the sky, temporarily suppressing the despair in her heart, replacing it with a trace of astonishment.
"The number one spot on the Exotic Treasures Ranking is about to be revealed... I'm so curious."
Qian Renxue's golden eyes also stared intently at the sky, murmuring to herself.
"What kind of exotic treasure could possibly overpower the Angel Holy Sword, the Rakshasa Demon Scythe, the Silver Dragon Spear, and even that Asura God Sword, to rank first?"
This question was also the doubt in Bibi Dong's heart.
She sighed, "Such an exotic treasure must be extraordinary, incomparably precious, possessing the power to shock the heavens and move the spirits."
Hu Liena, standing behind them, momentarily forgot the brutality of the battlefield and instinctively asked the question on everyone's mind.
"Then... who is holding this number one exotic treasure?"
Hearing this question, a figure flashed through Qian Renxue's mind for no reason.
Her mysterious and unfathomable master, so powerful that she felt suffocated.
But this thought only appeared for a moment before she herself extinguished it.
She gently shook her head.
How could it be!
Although her master was incredibly mysterious, possibly even having lived for twenty thousand years, this was the number one spot on the Exotic Treasures Ranking, surpassing all Divine Artifacts!
It was a treasure that commanded the attention of the entire continent, and even the God Realm!
Could her master... truly possess it?
Qian Renxue's heart was filled with uncertainty.
Just then, hurried footsteps could be heard.
Golden Crocodile Douluo, covered in blood, rushed onto the battlements with a few surviving enshriners, his voice hoarse and filled with anxiety.
"Your Excellency the Pope! Young Master!"
"Jialing Pass... cannot be held!"
"Tang San and the Titled Douluo under him are attacking too fiercely, our defenses have completely collapsed! At most... at most we can hold on for another hour!"
"What?!"
Qian Renxue's delicate body trembled, her golden eyes filled with horror.
"We can only hold on for an hour?"
Hu Liena's face instantly turned as pale as paper.
"An hour... If Jialing Pass falls, we... we will have no hope of turning the tables!"
"Could it be..."
Bibi Dong's body swayed, the last glimmer of hope in her eyes turning into bottomless despair.
"Is our Spirit Empire... going to be defeated like this?"
