"A genius..."

Gu Yuena parted her red lips, offering an exceptionally rare high evaluation.

"This Neuvillette, who exactly is he?"

"To be able to conceive of such a method, and then actually put it into practice."

"His understanding of the rules, I fear, is already no less than my own."

"..."

Originally, Gu Yuena had intended to find an opportunity to meet Tang San once she had finished assessing the situation.

But now.

She had changed her mind.

Tang San could be killed at any time.

But this Skywater City, this Soul Spirit system, concerned the future of the Soul Beast clan!

"Di Tian."

Gu Yuena twirled the long spear in her hand, retracting it into the void.

She turned around, her gaze looking far off toward the direction of Skywater City, a smile of keen interest curling at the corners of her lips.

"Make preparations."

"This King will personally take a trip to Skywater City."

"I want to see for myself if this Neuvillette, who could win the heart of Xue Di and conceive of the Soul Spirit method..."

"Is truly as miraculous as you say he is."

If it were true.

Perhaps, the plan to counterattack the God Realm could be changed slightly.

At the same time.

In the distant God Realm.

Inside a palace made entirely of dark red, radiating an endless aura of slaughter.

The Asura God, seated upon a throne of skulls, suddenly opened his eyes.

A trace of confusion flashed through those blood-colored pupils.

Just a moment ago.

He felt a strand of his origin divine power, which he had left behind on the Douluo Continent, suddenly vanish.

Cut off completely and cleanly.

"Strange..."

The Asura God tapped his fingers against the armrest, his brows slightly furrowed.

That strand of divine power was something he had specifically left behind back then to suppress the Silver Dragon King.

Logically speaking, unless the Silver Dragon King had died, this divine power should have remained in existence.

Yet now, it had disappeared.

"Could it be that brat Tang San playing tricks?"

The Asura God thought of the successor he had taken a liking to.

Tang San had already inherited the Sea God position and held his own Asura Demon Sword in his hands.

If Tang San had used the power of the Asura Demon Sword to slay some powerful enemy, it was indeed possible that it could have triggered a resonance with the divine power he had left behind, causing the connection to vanish.

"Hmph, this kid."

"He hasn't even been a god for long and he's already restless."

"..."

The Asura God shook his head, a look of indifference appearing on his face.

In his view, in a low-level plane like the Douluo Continent, it was impossible for anything to happen that was beyond his control.

As long as the Golden Dragon King didn't break its seal, everything else was of no consequence.

"Let him toss and turn as he pleases."

The Asura God closed his eyes once more, continuing to immerse himself in the endless comprehension of the rules.

At the same time.

At Jialing Pass, atop the city walls, dark clouds gathered.

A streak of blue-gold light tore through the sky, landing heavily on the watchtower of the mountain pass.

The light dissipated, revealing the slightly grim expression on the face of Tang San.

The Seagod armor retracted into his body, and he took a deep breath, his gaze fixed on the distant north—the direction of Skywater City, and the place where Xiao Wu was being held captive.

"Third Brother!"

Dai Mubai walked over with heavy steps; the armor on his body was already tattered and stained with dried blood, the marks left behind by the bitter fighting of the past few days.

"You've finally returned."

Dai Mubai wiped the dust and grime from his face.

"The situation is dire. The offensive from Martial Soul Hall is too fierce, our soul master legions have suffered heavy losses, and the soldiers of the Heaven Dou Empire have sustained countless casualties. Everyone... is reaching their breaking point."

Tang San's brows locked together, his palm slamming heavily onto the blue bricks of the city wall, sending stone shards flying.

"Even if we can't hold, we must!"

"Xiao Wu is still in their hands, and I must go save her."

A flash of determination crossed Tang San's eyes, yet he was not a man of mere courage without strategy.

Looking at the ashen faces of the soldiers around him, he knew that if he didn't win a battle first to boost morale, leaving to rescue her now would mean Jialing Pass would undoubtedly fall.

"Mubai, pass down the order."

"Regroup the three armies and prepare for battle."

"This time, I will take the field myself. I will make those people from Martial Soul Hall pay a bitter price, and use their blood to consecrate our banners!"

"!!!"

Just as the sound of Tang San's voice faded.

High above the firmament, the Golden Ranking List, which had been silent for a moment, once again emitted a deafening roar.

Golden light surged across the sky, resembling boiling magma.

Everyone's attention was instantly drawn to it; even the soldiers who were in the middle of regrouping could not help but look up at the list that represented supreme glory.

The fourth place was about to be revealed.

The golden light condensed, transforming into the phantom of a massive, ancient-looking sword radiating a chilling aura, spanning across the heavens and the earth.

Dark red demonic patterns flowed along the blade, and merely glancing at it made one feel as though their soul were about to be torn apart by that terrifying killing intent.

[Divine Weapon Ranking List Fourth Place: Asura Demon Sword!]

[Holder: Tang San!]

[Origin: The sword of the Asura God, one of the five supreme gods of the God Realm. It governs slaughter and judgment, serving as the sharpest offensive weapon in the God Realm, holding the laws of the God Realm to judge all gods!]

The moment these lines of large text appeared, the entire Jialing Pass fell into a brief, deathly silence.

Immediately following, a mountain-toppling, sea-draining roar of cheers erupted!

"Asura Demon Sword! It's the Asura Demon Sword!"

Oscar jumped up in excitement, grabbing Ma Hongjun beside him and slapping the fat man's back with force.

"That's the weapon of a God King! Did you see that? Judging all gods!"

"Third Brother alone actually possesses two of the top-ranked divine weapons!"

"The seventh-ranked Seagod Trident and the fourth-ranked Asura Demon Sword—who else in this world is Third Brother's match?"

Ma Hongjun was also filled with wild joy, the fat on his face trembling.

"We're set! This wave is completely secure!"

"What Martial Soul Hall, what Skywater City—in the face of Third Brother's dual divine weapons, they are all nothing but clay chickens and pottery dogs!"

The faces of the Shrek group revealed a long-lost expression of triumph.

The previous gloom was swept away in an instant.

As long as Tang San was strong enough, they still had hope for a comeback, and perhaps even the hope of unifying the continent!

However.

As the person involved, Tang San looked at the ranking in the sky, his brows furrowing even tighter.

"Fourth?"

Instead of joy, a strong sense of unwillingness surged in Tang San's heart.

The Asura God was a God King!

The Asura Demon Sword was known as the divine weapon with the highest attack power in the God Realm.

Why was it only ranked fourth?

What kind of monsters were ranked in the top three?

Could it be that there existed beings in this world even more noble than a God King?

Tang San subconsciously wanted to speak out and question it, but the words reached his lips and he swallowed them back down.

He still remembered the taste of that Nine Heavens Lightning Tribulation all too clearly.

Although this Golden Ranking List was unfair, it possessed genuine, undeniable heavenly might.

"Forget it."

Tang San secretly clenched his fists.

"No matter what the top three rankings are, as long as I obtain the reward of the Asura Demon Sword, my strength will inevitably skyrocket once again."

"When that time comes, I would like to see who dares to stand in my way!"
