Lu Ming's Sword Emerges! Heaven and Earth Change Color! First on the Exotic Treasures Ranking!

Just as Qian Renxue's heart was sinking into despair, a new change suddenly appeared on the golden ranking in the sky above.

[Exotic Treasures Ranking, First Place, Taichu Sword!]

A line of even more dazzling golden characters materialized at the top of the sky screen.

Qian Renxue, inside the Worship Hall, was also startled by this light and instinctively lifted her head.

"First place... Taichu Sword?"

She murmured to herself, feeling that the name seemed familiar, as if she had heard it somewhere before.

The next moment, her pupils suddenly contracted!

As if recalling something, she snapped back to reality, her gaze locking onto the phantom image of the "Taichu Sword" on the golden ranking in the sky.

An ancient sword body, a hilt without any ornamentation, an unremarkable scabbard...

This...

Could this be...?

Qian Renxue stiffly turned her head, staring blankly at the long sword enshrined on the high altar.

Exactly the same!

The phantom on the sky screen and the sword before her eyes were identical in every detail!

"This... this is... the Taichu Sword?"

Her voice was hoarse, each word spoken with great difficulty.

"The sword my master left behind... is actually the Taichu Sword?!"

"The number one exotic treasure... on the Douluo Continent?!"

Qian Renxue was completely stunned, her mind a blank.

She had never imagined that the sword she had always considered ordinary, even disappointing, would turn out to be the supreme treasure among all exotic treasures on this continent!

A being that surpassed the Sea God Trident and the Asura God Sword!

[This sword was born from the first ray of light at the dawn of heaven and earth, as ancient as the world, as eternal as the Great Dao!]

[Its might can slay a God King!]

[Grade: Above Super Divine Artifact!]

When the description of the Taichu Sword appeared word by word on the golden ranking, Qian Renxue's breath completely stopped.

She stared blankly at the line "Its might can slay a God King," as if struck by a divine thunderbolt from the nine heavens.

After a brief daze, an unprecedented surge of ecstasy erupted from the depths of her heart like a volcanic eruption!

"Slay... slay a God King?"

"This sword... can actually slay a God King?!"

"Doesn't that mean... I can defeat Tang San?!"

Hope!

After the deepest despair came a light bright enough to illuminate the entire world!

"Master!"

Qian Renxue could no longer contain her excitement and heavily kowtowed toward the Taichu Sword on the high altar.

Her forehead struck the cold floor with a dull thud, but she felt no pain at all.

"Your disciple is unfilial! Your disciple was blind!"

"I humbly beg my master's divine sword to aid me in slaying the God King Tang San!"

Her voice was filled with unprecedented determination and killing intent!

Humm—!

As if responding to her plea, the long sword that had always remained silent suddenly trembled violently, emitting a crystal-clear sword cry!

In an instant, an indescribably terrifying sword aura surged upward from within the Worship Hall!

Every living being in all of Jialing Pass, no, the entire Martial Soul Empire, and even half of the Douluo Continent, felt a shiver originating from the depths of their souls at that moment!

A shockingly thick golden pillar of light tore through the dome of the Worship Hall, pierced the clouds above Jialing Pass, and shot straight into the sky!

Heaven and earth changed color!

At the same time, in the Star Dou Great Forest.

At the center of the Lake of Life.

The peerlessly beautiful silver-haired woman, Gu Yuena, was gazing at the golden ranking in the sky, her delicate brows slightly furrowed.

"First place, Taichu Sword?"

She softly uttered the name, a hint of doubt in her tone.

"This exotic treasure... how do I have no recollection of it at all?"

Then, she pouted with a hint of defiance.

"And what right does this sword have to claim the top spot? The Eternal Life Pendant my husband gave me is the true number one treasure of the world."

With her experience spanning nearly a million years, she knew almost every notable treasure on the Douluo Continent like the back of her hand.

Yet this "Taichu Sword" was something she had never even heard of.

Beside her, Di Tian, Bi Ji, Zi Ji, and the other Fierce Beast Kings exchanged bewildered glances.

"Master, none of us have ever heard of this sword's name either,"

Di Tian said respectfully.

Gu Yuena nodded and continued watching the Sky Screen.

When she saw the domineering and unparalleled description of the Taichu Sword, even she couldn't help but grow solemn.

"Coexisting with the world, coeval with the Great Dao..."

"Able to slay a God King?!"

Di Tian and the other Soul Beasts collectively gasped, their eyes filled with shock.

"What a terrifying sword! No wonder it's the top treasure on the Exotic Treasures Ranking!"

"It can even kill a God King—how can such a weapon exist in this world?!"

Gu Yuena sighed as well.

"Indeed... I wonder what kind of person could possess such a peerless treasure?"

No sooner had she spoken than the owner's name slowly appeared on the Sky Screen.

[Owner: Lu Ming]

"What?!"

The calm on Gu Yuena's face shattered instantly. Her stunning purple eyes flew wide open!

"Owner... Lu Ming?!"

She was stunned.

This number one treasure on the Exotic Treasures Ranking, capable of slaying a God King, actually belonged to... her own husband?!

"M-Master's husband?!"

Di Tian, Xiong Jun, and the other Fierce Beasts were utterly shaken by this revelation, frozen in collective shock.

After a brief moment of astonishment, an immensely complex emotion surfaced on Gu Yuena's face—pride, longing, and above all, a fierce resolve.

"Find this sword for me!"

Her voice brooked no argument.

"This is my husband's legacy—I will not let it fall into anyone else's hands!"

"Yes, Master!"

The Soul Beasts answered in unison.

But just then.

A heaven-shaking, earth-shattering sword aura erupted from the distant north!

That pillar of light piercing through heaven and earth was still clearly visible, even from who knew how many ten thousand miles away!

Gu Yuena snapped her head up, staring northward. For the first time, an emotion called "dread" flickered in her purple eyes.

"S-Such a terrifying sword aura!"

She murmured.

"This direction... it's Jialing Pass in the north... Even from such a vast distance, the sword aura is still this astonishing!"

"Could it be... the number one treasure on the Exotic Treasures Ranking, the Taichu Sword?!"

Even though she had already reached the God King realm at level 155, the moment she sensed that sword aura, a pang of fear struck her heart.

This sword was too powerful!

Powerful enough to threaten her very life!

Behind her, Di Tian, Xiong Jun, and the other Fierce Beasts were trembling under the pressure of that sword aura, their faces deathly pale.

The God Realm.

The God Realm Committee.

The atmosphere was dead silent.

The Kindness God, the Evil God, the Life Goddess, the Destruction God, and the Asura God seated at the head—

The Five Great God Kings all looked up at the Sky Screen projecting from the Lower Realm, their expressions varied.

"Number one on the Exotic Treasures Ranking, the Taichu Sword?!"

The Destruction God broke the silence first, his voice tinged with shock.

"This sword... This Seat has never even heard of it!"

"Indeed," the Life Goddess interjected, "the God Realm's archives contain no records of this sword whatsoever."
