Golden Ranking Fourteenth Place! Golden Crocodile Douluo!

Hearing Tang San's explanation, everyone finally understood.

So Third Brother wanted to achieve the greatest victory at the smallest cost!

Just then, a sudden change occurred!

The entire sky darkened without warning.

Immediately after, a dazzling golden light tore through the heavens, and a massive golden ranking list slowly unfurled across the horizon.

Ancient and profound words flowed across the ranking list.

[Heavenly Dao Golden Ranking—Spectrum of the Strong]

[Reviewing the Fourteenth Place!]

It was here!

Everyone held their breath, staring intently at the sky.

At the Heaven Dou Great Camp, everyone was immediately stirred with excitement.

"Fourteenth Place! I wonder who it will be?"

"This person's strength must be extraordinary. If we can win him over to our side, our chances of victory will be even greater!"

"That's right! With His Excellency Sea God overseeing our side, surely he will make the wise choice!"

Yu Xiaogang stood with his hands behind his back, a confident smile on his face.

He cleared his throat and spoke in a tone as though he held the world in his grasp.

"A person of such strength must be proud and arrogant."

"However, if I personally invite him and appeal to him with both emotion and reason, he will have no reason to refuse."

"Perhaps he may even be won over by my Martial Soul theories and willingly serve us."

Meanwhile, on Spirit Hall's side.

Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo returned to the city wall, still shaken by the close call.

"That was close..." Chrysanthemum Douluo patted his chest. "That Tang San is truly ruthless. The moment he decides to strike, he does so without a shred of restraint."

"If we face anyone from Shrek in the future, we must be careful," Ghost Douluo said gravely.

Just then, the phenomenon in the sky appeared.

The people of Spirit Hall also looked up.

"Fourteenth Place?"

When that golden name appeared on the ranking list, everyone's pupils contracted sharply in an instant!

[Fourteenth Place: Golden Crocodile Douluo!]

"What?!"

"It's the Second Worship?!"

Spirit Hall instantly erupted into uproar.

Everyone was shocked.

After all, Golden Crocodile Douluo was universally acknowledged as Spirit Hall's strongest person aside from Her Excellency Angel God!

Yet even he was only ranked fourteenth?

Blue Luan Douluo and Mighty Lion Douluo of the Worship Hall exchanged glances, each seeing bitterness in the other's eyes.

They had thought they might also have a chance to make it onto the Golden Ranking. Now, it seemed they had been overthinking it.

But after the shock came wild joy.

"Congratulations, Second Worship!"

"Congratulations, Second Worship!"

Everyone stepped forward to congratulate Golden Crocodile Douluo.

"Second Worship has entered the Golden Ranking. If he receives a Heavenly Dao Reward as well, his strength will surely soar!"

"Perhaps he may even rival the Great Consecrator at the peak of his power!"

Facing everyone's congratulations, Golden Crocodile Douluo merely nodded calmly.

A sharp glint flashed through his cloudy old eyes.

He had absolute confidence in his Level 98 strength, yet he was only ranked fourteenth...

Just how terrifying were the thirteen people ahead of him on the Golden Ranking?

At that moment, Brilliance Flowing rippled across the Sky Gold List, and Golden Crocodile Douluo's life story began to appear.

[Golden Crocodile Douluo, Martial Soul Golden Crocodile King, Level 98 assault-type Titled Douluo.]

[One of his achievements: At Level 90, he once entered Sunset Forest alone and hunted a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast—the Purple Gold Clawed Crocodile!]

The scene unfolded.

It was a dim marshland. Golden Crocodile Douluo, appearing middle-aged, radiated an incomparably tyrannical aura.

Nine Spirit Rings shone behind him. With his Martial Soul Avatar unleashed, he transformed into a colossal Golden Crocodile King over fifty meters long!

Opposite him stood an even larger giant crocodile, its entire body covered in purple-gold scales and its claws gleaming with a cold light as it let out an earth-shaking roar.

A breathtaking battle played out Above the Firmament.

The Golden Crocodile King and the Purple Gold Clawed Crocodile tore into each other madly. Every collision made the earth tremble and the marsh churn.

In the end, the scene froze on Golden Crocodile Douluo using his indestructible crocodile tail to smash the Purple Gold Clawed Crocodile's head apart!

"Second Worship is mighty!"

"Too strong! He could solo a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast at Level 90!"

At the sight of this, Spirit Hall's morale was instantly ignited, reaching an unprecedented peak!

On the Heaven Dou Allied Army's side, everyone wore grave expressions and was deeply alarmed.

"Golden Crocodile King... The quality of this Martial Soul is not inferior in the slightest to the inherited Martial Soul of our Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan!" Yu Yuanzhen said solemnly.

Yu Xiaogang's expression was rather unpleasant as he snorted coldly.

"Hmph, he merely relied on Martial Soul suppression."

"The Purple Gold Clawed Crocodile was restrained by his Golden Crocodile King in terms of bloodline. It could not even bring out seventy percent of its strength."

Though he said that, anyone could hear the sourness in his tone.

Within the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect camp.

Sword Douluo Chen Xin gazed at the scene in the sky and let out a long sigh.

"So it really is him."

"I had already guessed that Fourteenth Place would most likely be Golden Crocodile."

Bone Douluo Gu Rong looked solemn. "Old Guy, Golden Crocodile is already Level 98. If he receives another Golden Ranking reward and advances one more level, he will become a Level 99 limit Douluo!"

Ning Fengzhi's eyes were also filled with worry.

Spirit Hall had already been stronger than them.

Now that Golden Crocodile Douluo had gained another opportunity, the balance of power shifted further. The direction of this war had become even more uncertain.

All of his plans were for the inheritance of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.

An image of that White-clothed Figure surfaced uncontrollably in his mind.

That... exalted one.

Bitterness welled up in Ning Fengzhi's heart.

In the eyes of an existence like that, whether it was the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect or the two great empires, they were probably no different from ants.

Besides, where could he possibly find him and seek his protection?

Deep within the Pontiff Palace of Spirit City.

Bibi Dong, dressed in a luxurious long gown, sat quietly upon her throne.

Her aura was deeper and more powerful than before, with faint ripples of purple-black Divine Power circulating around her.

Before long, she would completely inherit the Rakshasa God Position.

She raised her beautiful face and looked at the scene in the sky, the corner of her mouth Slightly Raised.

"Golden Crocodile..."

She had never doubted the loyalty of this Second Worship.

He would give everything for Spirit Hall.

"Now that he has received this opportunity, entering the realm of a limit Douluo is practically certain."

"Perhaps... he may even have a sliver of a chance to become a God in the future."

A sharp gleam flashed through Bibi Dong's eyes.

"Once my Spirit Hall unifies the continent, I will fight for your chance to become a God."

"Spirit Hall will be victorious!"

Meanwhile.

On a secluded path leading to Jialing Pass.

Tang Chen walked forward slowly. On his arm, a delicate Blue Silver Emperor vine swayed gently.

"Chen'er, are we really going to Spirit Hall just like this?"

Ah Yin's voice sounded directly within Tang Chen's mind.

Tang Chen was still somewhat worried that his mother would harbor hatred toward everyone in Spirit Hall.

"Mother, do you not hate them?"
