Top Ten Martial Souls Ranking! Lu Ming's sword energy reaches divinity! Golden Ranking rewards!

As a former Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast emperor, Ah Yin understood better than anyone what an existence the words "God King" represented.

They were the wielders of the laws of the universe, the pinnacle of all living beings.

Yet this sword could actually slay one!

That was already beyond her comprehension.

The atmosphere in the courtyard fell into brief silence because of this astonishing description.

Only Lu Ming remained as calm as ever.

He set down his teacup, raised his head to glance at the Sky Screen as though he were looking at something insignificant, and said flatly,

"A tool that was fairly handy to use."

The moment he said that,

Ye Lingling, Bai Xiuxiu, and Ah Yin all froze on the spot.

A tool?

A supreme treasure capable of slaying a God King, standing above all Super Divine Artifacts...

And in his eyes, it was merely... a fairly handy tool?

Looking at Lu Ming's calm profile, they did not know what to say for a moment.

This was the Taichu Sword, capable of slaying God Kings!

Only after a long while did Ye Lingling recover from her extreme shock.

She looked at the words "owner: Lu Ming" on the Golden Ranking, her voice trembling slightly.

"An... Ancestor..."

"This Taichu Sword... is... is yours?"

The question was somewhat redundant, but she truly could not connect the gentle, composed Ancestor before her with the mysterious person who possessed the number one treasure on the Exotic Treasures Ranking.

Bai Xiuxiu and Ah Yin also trembled, their eyes locked firmly onto Lu Ming.

Though they had long held their suspicions, when that speculation was so likely to become reality, the impact still sent towering waves surging through their hearts.

Lu Ming glanced at her and nodded, his tone as calm as if he were discussing some trivial matter.

"It's mine."

Upon receiving confirmation, the three women all sucked in a sharp breath.

The courtyard fell into dead silence once more.

It really was the Ancestor's!

The Taichu Sword, ranked first on the Exotic Treasures Ranking, truly belonged to the Ancestor!

Ye Lingling felt as if her heart were about to leap out of her throat. She looked toward the Sky Screen again.

Her gaze fell upon those outrageously generous rewards, and she could not help crying out in shock.

"Oh, heavens! These rewards are far too generous!"

Her voice was filled with envy and excitement.

"Vermillion Fruit! It's actually Vermillion Fruit! Consuming it can unconditionally raise Soul Power by ten levels!"

"Th... this is practically a heaven-defying divine treasure!"

For any Soul Master, increasing Soul Power was the most difficult task, and it only became harder at later stages.

Yet this Vermillion Fruit could directly ignore bottlenecks and raise it by a full ten levels!

That was enough to let a Soul Douluo instantly possess the combat strength of a Titled Douluo!

"And... and there's also a Million Year Soul Bone Set!"

Ye Lingling's voice rose again, and even her breathing became hurried.

"You must know that even a single thousand-year Spirit Bone is enough to drive countless Soul Masters mad with competition, while Ten Thousand Year Soul Bones are priceless treasures that can only be found by chance!"

"But this reward... is directly a Million Year level Spirit Bone Set! Six whole pieces!"

She simply did not dare imagine what kind of bloody storm this set of Spirit Bones would stir up if it appeared in the outside world.

Perhaps every force across the entire continent would go mad over it!

"Finally... there's also a Divine Skill, Blue Silver Divine Light?"

After reading the final line, Ye Lingling felt somewhat dizzy.

The previous rewards had already been shocking enough, but this last one was directly titled a "Divine Skill"!

Its power was self-evident!

However, before rewards sufficient to move even gods, Lu Ming's expression remained utterly placid.

He picked up his teacup, took another sip, and said flatly,

"These rewards may be plentiful to others, but they're useless to me."

The Vermillion Fruit increased Soul Power?

His Soul Power had long reached the pinnacle of this world. There was no further room for improvement.

A Million Year Soul Bone Set?

He himself possessed the strongest Divine Body, so there was no need for external objects like Spirit Bones to strengthen him.

As for Divine Skills...

The techniques he created casually far surpassed the scope of Divine Skills.

As his words fell, a thought crossed his mind.

Claim the rewards.

Buzz—!

Above the heavens, golden light blazed brilliantly. Three dazzling spheres of light broke away from the Ranking List, streaked across the sky, and arrived in an instant, hovering before Lu Ming.

A crimson fruit, radiating immense Life Aura and fluctuations of Soul Power.

A set of Spirit Bones composed of six translucent, divine-light-shimmering bones.

Incomprehensibly profound golden patterns were inscribed upon them, and the pressure they emitted distorted even space itself.

And a pale golden orb containing information about a Divine Skill.

Without even looking, Lu Ming casually waved his hand and stored the Vermillion Fruit and the Million Year Soul Bone Set inside his Soul Tool.

Perhaps he could give them to those around him someday.

At that moment, an even more violent and domineering sword intent suddenly shot into the heavens from the distant direction of Jialing Pass!

Boom—!!!

The entire Heaven Dou City, even half of the Heaven Dou Empire, shook violently beneath the pressure of that sword intent!

Countless Soul Masters within the city had their legs go weak before that aura and fell directly to their knees, their faces filled with horror!

In the courtyard, Ye Lingling's face turned pale. She felt as if her soul were about to be torn apart by that incomparably sharp sword energy. Supporting herself with difficulty, she stared in shock toward the southern horizon.

"Wh... what terrifying sword intent!"

"Could... could this be the might of the Taichu Sword?!"

Lu Ming nodded.

"Mm."

His deep gaze pierced through endless space and fell upon the battlefield at Jialing Pass.

It seemed that girl Qian Renxue had used the Taichu Sword.

With that sword, dealing with Tang San, who had only just become a god and whose foundation was still unstable, should not be a problem.

Rumble!

Above the heavens, wind and clouds changed color as thunder raced across the sky.

Before the eyes of countless onlookers, the enormous Golden Ranking began to change slowly. Its golden radiance continuously contracted and condensed.

The three large words "Exotic Treasures Ranking" gradually blurred before being replaced by new text.

[Inventory of Douluo's Top Ten Martial Souls Ranking!]

[All who make the ranking will receive rewards!]

Just two short lines, yet they exploded like a massive bomb in the hearts of every living being across Douluo Continent and Sun Moon Continent!

"The Sky Screen... the Sky Screen has opened a new Ranking List!"

"Martial Soul Ranking?!"

"An inventory of Douluo Continent's Top Ten Martial Souls? Heavens! I'm so curious—which Martial Souls can make the ranking?"

"The rewards from the Exotic Treasures Ranking were already so heaven-defying. How shocking will the rewards from this Martial Soul Ranking be?"

Whether common civilians or lofty Soul Masters, everyone was in an uproar.

If the Exotic Treasures Ranking had been a feast belonging to only a handful of peak experts, then the Martial Soul Ranking was closely tied to every Soul Master!

Martial Souls were the foundation of Soul Masters and the symbol of their talent!

At that moment, countless people across the continent stopped what they were doing, discussing it fervently and making excited guesses.
