Lu Ming Draws His Sword! Heaven and Earth Change Color! First on the Exotic Treasures Ranking!

Just as Qian Renxue was overwhelmed by despair, a new change suddenly occurred on the golden ranking list in the sky outside.

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

A line of even more dazzling Golden Characters appeared at the top of the Sky Screen.

The light startled Qian Renxue inside the hall, and she instinctively raised her head.

"First place, Taichu Sword?"

She murmured the name to herself, feeling that she had heard it somewhere before. It carried an inexplicable sense of familiarity.

The next moment, her pupils suddenly contracted!

As though she had remembered something, she abruptly came to her senses. Her gaze locked onto the phantom of the "Taichu Sword" on the golden ranking list in the Sky Screen.

Its ancient sword body, unadorned hilt, and utterly ordinary scabbard...

This...

This was...

Qian Renxue stiffly turned her head, staring blankly at the long sword enshrined atop the platform.

They were identical!

The phantom on the Sky Screen was exactly the same as the sword before her, down to the smallest detail!

"Th-this is... the Taichu Sword?"

Her voice was dry, and every word came out with extreme difficulty.

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

"Douluo Continent's... number one exotic treasure?!"

Qian Renxue was completely stunned, her mind utterly blank.

She had never imagined that the sword she had always considered plain and ordinary—even somewhat disappointing—would be the supreme treasure among all the rare treasures on this continent!

It was an existence above both the Sea God Trident and the Asura God Sword!

[This sword was formed from the first ray of light when heaven and earth first opened. It shall endure as long as the world and age alongside the Great Dao!]

[Its might can Slay God King!]

[Grade: Above Super Divine Artifact!]

As the description of the Taichu Sword appeared word by word on the Golden Ranking, Qian Renxue's breathing completely stopped.

She stared blankly at the words, "Its might can Slay God King," as though she had been struck by divine lightning from the ninth heaven.

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

"Slay... Slay God King?"

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

"Does that mean... I can defeat Tang San?!"

Hope!

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

"Master!"

Unable to suppress her excitement any longer, Qian Renxue heavily kowtowed to the Taichu Sword atop the platform.

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

"Your disciple has been unfilial! Your disciple had eyes yet failed to recognize Mount Tai!"

"I beg Master's divine sword to aid me in slaying God King Tang San!"

Her voice was filled with unprecedented resolve and killing intent!

Buzz—!

As though answering her plea, the Taichu Sword, which had remained silent all this time, suddenly trembled violently, releasing an incomparably clear sword cry!

In an instant, a terrifying sword aura beyond words shot into the sky from the Worship Hall!

Every living being in Jialing Pass—no, throughout the entire Spirit Hall Empire, and even across half of Douluo Continent—felt a tremor rise from the depths of their souls at that moment!

A terrifyingly thick golden pillar of light tore through the roof of the Worship Hall, pierced the clouds above Jialing Pass, and shot straight into the heavens!

Heaven and earth changed color!

At the same time, Star Dou Great Forest.

At the center of the Lake of Life.

The peerlessly beautiful silver-haired woman, Gu Yuena, was watching the Golden Ranking in the sky, her delicate brows slightly furrowed.

"First place, Taichu Sword?"

She softly repeated the name, a trace of puzzlement in her voice.

"Why don't I have any impression of this treasure at all?"

Then she pursed her lips somewhat unwillingly.

"Besides, why should this sword rank first? The Eternal Life Pendant my husband gave me is the number one exotic treasure in the world."

With nearly a Million Year of experience, she was familiar with almost every famous treasure on Douluo Continent.

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

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

"Master, we have never heard the name of this sword either."

Di Tian spoke respectfully.

Gu Yuena nodded and continued looking toward the Sky Screen.

When she saw the domineering description of the Taichu Sword, even her expression could not help turning solemn.

"To endure as long as the world and age alongside the Great Dao..."

"It can Slay God King?!"

Di Tian and the other Soul Beasts all sucked in sharp breaths, their eyes filled with horror.

"What a terrifying sword! It truly deserves to be the treasure ranked first on the Exotic Treasures Ranking!"

"It can even slay a God King. How could such a weapon exist in this world!"

Gu Yuena also sighed in admiration.

"Yes. I wonder what sort of person could possess such a peerless treasure?"

The moment she finished speaking, the name in the owner column slowly emerged on the Sky Screen.

[Owner: Lu Ming]

"What?!"

The calm on Gu Yuena's face instantly shattered, and her peerless purple eyes flew wide open!

"The owner... Lu Ming?!"

She was dumbfounded.

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

"M-Master's husband?!"

Di Tian, Xiong Jun, and the other Fierce Beasts were left utterly disoriented by this result, all of them frozen stiff.

After the brief shock, an incomparably complex expression appeared on Gu Yuena's face. There was pride, longing, and, above all, determination.

"Find that sword for me!"

Her voice allowed no refusal.

"This is a relic left behind by my husband. I absolutely cannot let it fall into anyone else's hands!"

"Yes, Master!"

The Soul Beasts answered in unison.

However, at that very moment.

A heaven-shaking sword aura surged into the sky from the distant North!

Even though it was separated by an unknown number of ten thousand miles, the pillar of light piercing heaven and earth remained clearly visible!

Gu Yuena suddenly raised her head and looked toward the North. For the first time, an emotion called apprehension appeared in her purple eyes.

"W-What terrifying sword aura!"

She murmured.

"That direction is Jialing Pass in the North... Even from such an immense distance, the sword aura is still this astonishing!"

"Could it be... the Taichu Sword ranked first on the Exotic Treasures Ranking?!"

Although she had already reached the God King Realm at level one hundred and fifty-five, the instant she sensed that sword aura, a trace of fear still rose in her heart.

This sword was too powerful!

Powerful enough to threaten her life!

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

God Realm.

God Realm Committee.

The atmosphere was deathly silent.

Kindness God, Evil God, Life Goddess, God of Destruction, and Asura God seated at the head.

The Five Great God Kings were all looking up at the Sky Screen projected from the Lower Realm, each wearing a different expression.

"First on the Exotic Treasures Ranking, the Taichu Sword?!"

God of Destruction was the first to break the silence, his voice carrying a trace of astonishment.

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

"Indeed," Life Goddess added, "there has never been any record of this sword in the God Realm's ancient texts."
