Supreme in the Flames! Commander of Ten Thousand Fires! Explosive Flame Douluo!

The two exchanged glances, both seeing the despair in each other's eyes.

"Old Gui, do you think His Holiness the Pope can rescue us?" Yue Guan lowered his head in despair, muttering softly.

Ghostly swallowed hard, the despair in his heart no less than Yue Guan's.

"We're about to reach the Bright Realm's stronghold."

"Given the strength exposed on the Heavenly Screen, for the Pope to save us is nothing short of an Arabian Nights fantasy."

"Maybe if we add the Worship Hall, there might be a sliver of a chance."

Hearing Ghostly's analysis, Moonlight's inner heart grew even more desperate.

He felt his future had turned pitch black.

"Alas!" ×2

Just then, Canglang Douluo's delighted shout rang out across the entire Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Eye.

"We're here! We've arrived!"

"Hahaha! After leaving the Bright Realm for so long, we're finally coming back!"

Dugu Bo was the first to react, immediately looking around, trying to spot any trace of buildings.

Dugu Yan, along with Ye Lingling, excitedly peered outward in all directions.

Even the usually dignified Lady Ye couldn't suppress her curiosity and joined Dugu Yan in looking outside.

Yet after searching for a long while, they still found nothing.

Full of questions, they looked at Jun Hao and said, "Young Friend Jun Hao, are you playing tricks on this Old Man? Where is the Bright Realm? Why can't I see it?!"

Dugu Yan also pouted with dissatisfaction and said, "Uncle Jun Hao, you're really mean!"

Jun Hao looked at the grandfather and granddaughter, their expressions exactly alike, and burst into laughter.

But he kept them in suspense, just smiling and watching without giving an answer.

"Tsk tsk, you're still such a rascal, kid!" Ma Qinghai walked over, a grin on his face as he wrapped an arm around Jun Hao's neck.

"Hehehe, Senior, just joking with everyone, just a joke."

With Ma Qinghai holding him, the smug look on Jun Hao's face instantly deflated, and he spoke with an ingratiating smile.

Then he turned to Dugu Bo and the others to explain: "Our Bright Realm exists in a space independent of the mainland."

"Looking from the outside, naturally you won't see any buildings."

Hearing this, Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling nodded in understanding, then grew even more excited.

Even the usually aloof Ye Lingling showed a hint of interest.

As if eager to see what this space independent of the mainland looked like.

Clearly, neither of them realized what terrifying energy such a space held.

Dugu Bo looked at Ma Qinghai and the others in disbelief: "A space independent of the mainland?!"

"How is that possible?!"

Ma Qinghai looked at Dugu Bo, so clearly out of his depth, and smiled with great satisfaction.

"We'll reach the Bright Realm soon. When you get there, you'll naturally understand what a space independent of the mainland is like."

Just then, the Wind Eagle's speed gradually slowed.

Sensing this, Ma Qinghai's brows lifted.

He reached the edge of the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Eye and looked down.

Immediately pointing to a spot, he said, "There, right there. Brother Dugu, do you see that stone tablet?"

Dugu Bo stepped forward and looked in the direction Ma Qinghai pointed.

His gaze sharpened, and he immediately noticed a bare patch of land surrounded entirely by forest.

With his Title Douluo-level strength, Dugu Bo quickly spotted a massive golden-yellow stone tablet standing at the center of that barren area.

On the tablet were carved two ancient, vast characters.

Bright Realm!

"Is that it?" Dugu Bo asked excitedly.

Ma Qinghai nodded with a faint smile: "That's right. We'll be at the Bright Realm soon."

Just then, Jun Hao's voice rang out again: "Look, the Heavenly Screen has changed again. Hall Master Yan Nan has made the list!"

Everyone looked up.

[Combat Strength Ranking Third Place: Explosive Flame Douluo Yan Nan]

[Affiliated Faction: Bright Realm]

[Martial Soul: Flame Dragon Armor]

[Level: Level Ninety-Nine Strong Attack System Extreme Douluo]

[Evaluation: Explosive Flame Douluo Yan Nan, as the Hall Master of the Ming Realm's Fire Element Hall, wields the fire element energy and destructive force of heaven and earth through his Martial Soul, Flame Dragon Armor. Moreover, the Flame Dragon Armor Martial Soul possesses every possibility; it is the sovereign among flames, commanding all fires in the world, none daring to disobey. In terms of cultivation along the path of fire, across the entire continent, aside from the Lord of the Ming Realm, no one is his match. The flames of the Flame Dragon Armor can incinerate all evil power in the world, hence it ranks third.]

[Reward: Soul Power condensed fivefold, all Soul Ring Lifespans increased by sixty-three thousand years, one thirty-thousand-year Right Arm Soul Bone, one thirty-thousand-year Torso Soul Bone, one strand of World Fire Origin Power.]

"Another person from the Ming Realm, another person from the Ming Realm!"

"How can this be? Are there no others from other forces? Why are all the ones on the list from the Ming Realm now?!"

"Don't tell me... the top four are all from the Ming Realm? How is that possible?!"

"Possessing the power to incinerate all evil in the world? Truly terrifying!"

The people across the continent erupted once again due to the changes on the Heavenly Screen.

They were utterly shaken by the consecutive appearances of Ming Realm figures on the list.

"Commanding all fires in the world, huh?"

"Heh, first there was one commanding all waters in the world, and now another commanding all fires in the world."

"What a fine Ming Realm, truly a fine Ming Realm. They've hidden themselves quite deeply."

Bibi Dong stared with bloodshot eyes at the gilded characters on the Sky Dome, strands of evil aura seeping from her body.

"Hmph, hehehe, hahahaha!!"

"No matter how many experts you have in the Ming Realm, what does it matter? The two who appeared before still had two God Inheritances."

"But these two who have appeared now don't even have a God Position or God Exam! So weak, and yet you still dare to contend with This Pope!"

As she spoke, Bibi Dong's laughter grew even more manic.

Her right hand clenched the ornate Gemstone Scepter tightly, turning slightly pale from the excessive force.

"Hahahahaha!"

"Once This Pope becomes a god and finds you all, the first, the very first thing I'll do is annihilate your Ming Realm!"

"How dare you oppose This Pope at every turn—this is your final fate!"

"Hahahaha!!!"

Her voice echoed across heaven and earth, shaking the Nine Heavens.

Inside the Worship Hall.

Qian Daoliu listened to the maddening roar of laughter, his brow slightly furrowed.

He glanced somewhat baffled in the direction of the Papal Palace.

He had no idea what that crazy woman Bibi Dong was raving about now.
