All Sides in an Uproar, Storms Are Brewing

Hearing this Frightening Heavenly Sound, which was like the voice of a god, Lin Yuan's heart stirred, and he subconsciously murmured, "The Heavenly Dao Gold Ranking is taking stock of the Ten Great Sects' Forces on the Dou Qi Continent. There will also be a Family Ranking, Genius Ranking, Supreme Ranking, and Divine Artifact Ranking in the future... Is it planning to completely expose my Seven Star Palace?"

"Then again, it doesn't matter."

"After all these years, the people of the world should know that the Seven Star Palace exists."

"I just wonder what expressions Hun Tiandi and Gu Yuan will have when they learn that their old friends are still alive, and that a Dou Emperor still exists on the continent after these rankings are revealed?"

"As for that Heavenly Dao Reward..."

"I hope it can give This Emperor some pleasant surprises and let me cultivate a few more Dou Emperors, breaking the Flame Demon Clan's blockade."

"I've truly grown tired of staying on this Dou Qi Continent!"

"..."

At the same time.

With the appearance of the Heavenly Dao Gold Ranking.

The Dou Qi Continent, which had been silent for many years, instantly became lively.

Whether it was the One Hall, One Tower, Two Sects, Three Valleys, and Four Pavilions of the Central Continent, or the Seven Great Ancient Clans, the Beast Region, Dragon Island, Jia Nan Academy, the Black Corner Region, the Eastern Continent, and the Southern Continent...

They all erupted at this moment.

Countless people gazed at the sudden phenomenon in the sky and chattered among themselves.

"Wo Cao, Wo Cao!"

"What the hell is that thing in the sky?"

"The Heavenly Dao is ranking the continent's Ten Great Sects' Forces, and there are rewards too. Is it for real?"

"Hahaha, this is the opportunity bestowed upon This Young Master by the heavens! I'm a genius who reached the Six-star Dou Grandmaster realm at just twenty years old. I can definitely enter the future Genius Ranking and obtain a reward."

"Our Clan has lived in seclusion for many years. Our Old Ancestor is a Three-turn Dou Venerate, and geniuses abound within the clan. The Family Ranking is sure to happen..."

"Our Wind Thunder Pavilion has Thunder Venerable, a Late Three-star Dou Venerate, holding down the fort. With so many experts in the pavilion, we will definitely enter the top ten of the Sect Power Ranking!"

"The top twenty of the Supreme Ranking!"

"I wonder what cultivation level the strongest person on the continent has. A Nine-star Dou Saint? How exciting!"

"..."

Somewhere in the Central Continent.

A Loose Cultivator Dou Venerate believed the Heavenly Dao Gold Ranking was an opportunity. He shot straight into the sky, intending to seize it.

Yet the Gold Ranking, which seemed close enough to reach, was utterly impossible for him to approach.

The enraged Dou Venerate ultimately chose to attack.

As a result, not only did his fierce attack fail to touch the Gold Ranking, but a World-destroying Thunder descending from the firmament also struck him. His Physical Body and soul were instantly annihilated, vanishing completely from the world.

The news spread.

It immediately stirred up enormous waves, like a huge rock thrown into water.

No one dared question the value of the Heavenly Dao Gold Ranking anymore. They all began guessing which Ten Great Sects' Forces would appear on the ranking, and what the Heavenly Dao Reward would be.

Soul Clan, Soul Realm.

A group of Soul Clan Dou Saints stood proudly in the sky.

'Hun Tiandi,' awakened by the Sky Curtain, looked at the golden light screen that had suddenly appeared above the Soul Realm and could not help laughing loudly. "Hahaha, the Sect Power Ranking, Family Ranking, Genius Ranking, Supreme Ranking..."

"Our Soul Clan has lain dormant for a thousand years."

"Finally, the opportunity for us to shine once again has arrived."

"I just wonder whether the rewards bestowed by this Heavenly Dao Gold Ranking can help This Clan Leader break through the shackles of the Dou Emperor realm?"

As Hun Tiandi's voice fell.

'Nihility Devouring Flame,' standing not far behind him, suddenly spoke. "Putting the other rankings aside, the top spot on the Sect Power Ranking will certainly belong to the [Hall of Souls] under the command of the Soul Clan."

"That is true."

Hun Tiandi rather agreed with this.

In his view, the only force on the Dou Qi Continent capable of contending with the Hall of Souls was the Pill Tower.

Although 'Old Ancestor of Little Pill Tower' was a Six-star Dou Saint, one star higher than the Five-star Dou Saint 'Hall of Souls Hall Master' 'Hun Miesheng.'

However, the ancient Dou God Clans of the Central Continent had jointly established an Alliance Agreement.

Experts above the Five-star Dou Saint realm were not permitted to act.

Therefore.

Setting aside the strongest experts of the Hall of Souls and the Pill Tower.

Whether in the number or combat strength of its Dou Saints, Half-Saints, or experts below the Dou Venerate realm, the Hall of Souls surpassed the Pill Tower.

The Pill Tower's alchemists possessed a powerful ability to rally others.

But the Hall of Souls was not afraid in the slightest. After all, it had the support of the Soul Clan behind it.

Thus.

In terms of overall strength.

The Hall of Souls still slightly surpassed the Pill Tower.

Although he thought this way, for the sake of absolute certainty.

Hun Tiandi still turned to Nihility Devouring Flame and said, "Notify Hun Miesheng and have him arrange people to monitor the One Tower, Two Sects, Three Valleys, and Four Pavilions of the Central Continent, as well as the forces outside the Central Continent."

"If these forces make the ranking and obtain generous rewards..."

"Attack them directly. Ants have no right to enjoy Heavenly Dao Rewards they cannot protect."

"Understood!"

Hearing this, Nihility Devouring Flame gave a sinister smile.

The space before him collapsed, and his figure suddenly vanished from where he stood like a ghost.

Ancient Clan.

Above the sky of the Gu Realm.

The Gold Ranking's light screen shone brilliantly.

Clan Leader 'Gu Yuan' and the Three Immortals of the Gu Clan, along with the other Dou Saints, stood in the void with faces full of regret.

"Sigh, the Ancient Clan did not support any sects or forces outside. This time, the Soul Clan has really gotten a huge advantage."

"Fortunately, there are still the Family Ranking, Genius Ranking, and Supreme Ranking after the Sect Ranking. At least our Ancient Clan won't fall too far behind the Soul Clan."

"There was nothing we could do..."

"After all, no one could have predicted the appearance of the Heavenly Dao Gold Ranking."

Just as the Ancient Clan's group of Dou Saints sighed.

Black Annihilation King Gu Lie suddenly said, "Clan Leader, our clan may not be without a chance to get a share of the rewards from the Sect Power Ranking."

"Think about it..."

"With the Soul Clan's greedy nature."

"They have probably already arranged for people to keep watch over the various major powers of the Central Continent, waiting for the rewards to appear so they can seize them."

"Although Our Clan has not supported any forces on the continent, we can step forward and protect those listed powers at the critical moment, help them survive the crisis, and thus share the Gold Ranking's rewards."

After Black Annihilation King Gu Lie finished making his suggestion.

The Ancient Clan's many Dou Saints were stunned at first. Then, their eyes flashed with light, and their greed was impossible to conceal. They nodded and echoed him one after another, expressing that the plan was feasible.

Regarding this.

After some thought.

Gu Yuan slowly said, "It can work, but we must wait for the Soul Clan to make the first move before taking action. Also, we cannot keep this benefit to ourselves this time. We must notify the Lei Clan, Yan Clan, Yao Clan, Ling Clan, and Shi Clan and form an alliance!"

"We will divide the benefits together, leaving the Soul Clan with nothing to say."

"Of course, as the initiator, once the Soul Clan truly moves against those forces, our Ancient Clan must take the largest share."

Central Continent, Starfall Pavilion.

Yao Chen had just experienced a brutal battle, repelled the Eighth Heavenly Venerate and Ninth Heavenly Venerate of the Hall of Souls, recovered his Physical Body, and broken through to the Half-Saint realm.

At this moment, he stood together with Xiao Yan, Venerable Wind, Xiao Yi Xian, Heavenly Fire Venerate, Qing Lin, and the others.

Together, they gazed up at the dazzling Gold Ranking in the void.

Faced with this sudden Heavenly Dao Gold Ranking.

Everyone had different thoughts.

Venerable Wind was filled with pleasant surprise. To him, with Yao Chen having revived and broken through to the High-level Half-Saint realm, Starfall Pavilion had already risen to become one of the Supreme Powers of the Central Continent. It would certainly enter the top ten of the Sect Power Ranking and obtain a Heavenly Dao Reward.

He did not notice at all.

The Starfall Pavilion Young Pavilion Master Xiao Yan beside him had his brows tightly furrowed, both fists clenched, his heart uneasy.

For Xiao Yan.

His greatest secret was his identity as a transmigrator.

If the Heavenly Dao Gold Ranking exposed it, he was very worried that he might be regarded as an outsider.

As for Yao Chen, gazing at the Heavenly Dao Gold Ranking manifested in the void, he could not help murmuring inwardly, "The Heavenly Dao is ranking the top ten Sects' Forces. It seems the Seven Star Palace won't be able to stay hidden!"

"I wonder whether the Seven Star Palace's exposure ahead of time will affect the Ice Emperor's plan?"

"No, wait. The suffering I endured after being captured by the Hall of Souls all these years..."

"It wasn't for nothing, was it?"
