Number One on the Divine Weapon Ranking List! Neuvillette! Grand Ceremony of Eternal Flow!

At this moment.

Not only did Qian Renxue prick up her ears.

Even Bibi Dong and Qian Daoliu, who had been hiding in the shadows eavesdropping, held their breath instantly.

Shui Bing'er cleared her throat and, imitating Furina's haughty tone, said:

"At that time, Lady Furina was holding that Radiance of Still Waters, showing it off in front of the Dean, claiming she was the greatest duelist in this world."

"And guess what the Dean said?"

Qian Renxue asked subconsciously: "What did he say?"

Shui Bing'er's gaze shifted, instantly becoming profound and majestic; although it was just an imitation, it carried a hint of Neuvillette's presence.

"The Dean was holding that thick legal codex in his hand at the time."

"He simply said indifferently:"

"'The sharp blade is responsible for severing sin, while the law is responsible for defining what sin is.'"

"'The sword in your hand is the edge of flowing water; the book in my hand is the source of that flow.'"

Boom!

These words exploded in Qian Renxue's mind like a thunderclap.

The blade is responsible for severing, the law is responsible for defining.

This simple sentence instantly created a massive chasm between the two realms.

One is an executor.

The other is a legislator.

This is the true bearing of a God King!

Bibi Dong, hiding in the shadows, felt her hands and feet go cold.

She gripped her scepter tightly, her knuckles turning white from the excessive force.

If what Shui Bing'er said was true.

The Grand Ceremony of Eternal Flow in Neuvillette's hand was not just a divine artifact, but the embodiment of the "rules" of this world.

Opposing such a person?

That wasn't just courting death; that was having a death wish.

"Pass down the order."

Bibi Dong spoke suddenly, her voice somewhat hoarse.

Ghost Douluo, standing beside her, was startled and hurriedly bowed to receive the command.

"Your Majesty Pope?"

"Destroy all previous operational plans targeting Skywater City."

Bibi Dong took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing the stormy waves in her heart.

"Furthermore, issue a notice: from now on, if you encounter anyone from Skywater City, give them a wide berth. Do not provoke any conflicts."

"And..."

Bibi Dong's gaze pierced through layers of buildings and landed on that beautiful, golden-haired figure in the plaza.

That thought surfaced in her mind once again, and it was even more intense than before.

Although it was absurd, although it was somewhat unbelievable.

But if she could truly establish a connection with Skywater City...

"Perhaps, letting Xue'er go to Skywater City for exchange and study is not out of the question."

"Since Neuvillette can accept Xue Di and Furina, adding one Qian Renxue shouldn't be a problem, right?"

Once this thought sprouted, it grew like wild grass.

If she could use marriage to win over this powerhouse who held the supreme rules, wouldn't unifying the continent be a simple matter of a single word from Neuvillette?

Even if it only meant keeping him neutral, it would be a tremendous boon for Martial Soul Hall.

As for face?

In the face of absolute power, what is face worth!

Just as the various factions harbored different intentions and undercurrents surged.

The Golden Ranking List above the firmament finally moved.

The golden light that had originally blanketed the sky began to contract violently, eventually converging into a single point of the most dazzling, extreme radiance.

Immediately after.

That point of light exploded with a roar.

There was no earth-shattering roar, only the sound of waves, incessant and rhythmic like a tide, echoing in every corner of the Douluo Continent.

Swish—

Swish—

Everyone looked up involuntarily.

High above on the Sky Screen, an inverted ocean had appeared, no one knew when.

The seawater was clear enough to see the bottom, yet deep enough to be bottomless.

In the center of that ocean, a thick tome, carved entirely from deep blue crystal and radiating an ancient, mysterious, and noble aura, slowly emerged.

Unlike the artifacts that had appeared before, it did not emit a sharp, murderous intent.

It hovered there quietly, as if it were an immutable truth.

As the pages turned automatically, golden characters flew out from the book, merging into the world.

With every character that fell, the laws of the Douluo Continent seemed to become a fraction more stable.

This was the number one Supreme Divine Artifact.

This was the tome belonging to Neuvillette.

[Number One on the Artifact Ranking!]

[Supreme Divine Artifact—Grand Ceremony of Eternal Flow!]

[Holder: Skywater City Lord, Neuvillette!]

With the appearance of these large characters, the entire world seemed to bow its head.

The Golden Ranking List did not stop, and the powers of this tome began to be revealed to the world one by one.

[Power One: Ten Thousand Streams Return to the Ancestor.]

[Under the vast heaven, all is the king's land; within the borders, all are the king's subjects.

The holder of this book is the source of all waters and the master of all currents.

They can forcibly strip away, manipulate, and suppress all water-attribute powers in the world.

In the presence of the holder, the strength of any water-attribute spirit master, Soul Beast, or even god will be weakened by ninety percent, and they will be unable to use any water-elemental skills.]

Seeing this, all the spirit masters on Sea God Island collapsed to the ground.

Bo Saixi's face turned deathly pale, and the scepter in her hand clattered to the floor.

Strip away all water-attribute power?

Weakened by ninety percent?

How could anyone fight that?

This meant that in front of Neuvillette, all sea spirit masters, even if the Sea God himself descended, would become lambs waiting for slaughter.

[Power Two: Water Spirit Pulse.]

[The tome records the life veins of the world. Activating this power can draw upon the water elements between heaven and earth to form a terrifying elemental tidal pulse.

The pulse ignores defense and strikes directly at the soul and origin. Each pulse deals massive true damage to the enemy and carries a potent "weakness" effect until the target's life force is completely exhausted.]

[Power Three: Wrath of the Sea Soul.]

[Using the tome as a medium, summon ancient sea souls. It can instantly summon three "Spirit of Source Water" entities with the strength of Limit Douluo to assist in battle. The Spirit of Source Water is immortal; as long as the tome exists, they can be infinitely reborn.]

Three... summons with the strength of Limit Douluo?

And they are immortal?

Qian Daoliu looked at this entry, his throat feeling dry.

If he, the so-called "Invincible of the Sky," were to encounter these three Spirit of Source Water entities, he probably wouldn't even have a chance to run.

This was no mere artifact.

This was clearly a portable Limit Douluo legion!

But this was not the end.

The true terror was always at the very end.

[Forbidden・Vicissitudes of Life.]

[Time and years are all within the flowing water. The holder can consume divine power to forcibly reverse or accelerate the flow of time in a designated area.

In a single thought, the blue sea turns into mulberry fields, and a beautiful face becomes withered bones.

It can also make dead wood bloom in spring and bring the dead back to life (provided the target's soul still exists).]

[Forbidden・Eternal Fragrance of Ten Thousand Generations.]

[Passive Divine Skill. The holder gains the blessing of the "Ancient Dragon Body," granting a lifespan equal to heaven and earth, an eternal and indestructible physical body, and immunity to all forms of instant death, curses, and aging rules.

As long as a single drop of water exists in the world, the holder will never fall.]
