The Ninth Spot on the Rare Treasure Ranking Revealed!

"When it comes to heritage and divine artifacts,"

"How could a tiny Godwind City possibly compare to our Tang Sect or Martial Soul Hall?"

In Tang San's view, the misfortune that befell Dai Mubai and the Grandmaster was due more to their underestimation of the enemy.

He did not believe that a bard he had never heard of could truly possess such great ability.

"Once my divine artifact makes the list and I receive the reward,"

"I will settle all old and new scores together."

Tang San secretly swore in his heart.

Godwind City, on the roof of the City Lord Mansion.

Venti was lying on the tiles, legs crossed, watching the image of Bibi Dong's ecstasy on the Sky Curtain.

"Bloodthirsty evolution?"

"Pfft—"

Venti couldn't help it and burst out laughing.

"What kind of reward is that?"

"Turning a perfectly good weapon into a monster that only knows how to drink blood."

"How truly tasteless."

He shook his head, his face full of disdain.

To him, weapons were meant for protection and for playing musical movements.

Used for slaughter?

Too crude.

"But then again."

Venti pulled the glowing cyan chess piece from his chest—the Gnosis of Wind.

The piece spun nimbly between his fingertips, radiating soft and pure wind elements.

"If this Sky Curtain upgrades that Rakshasa Demon Scythe,"

"Then what about my pile of junk..."

Venti thought of the Skyward Harp gathering dust in his warehouse, and the lute he had casually given to Qian Renxue as a protective charm back in the day.

Right, and those dozens of Vision.

"If these all make the list, will the Sky Curtain even be able to hand out all the rewards?"

Venti scratched his head, feeling somewhat troubled.

"Oh dear, what if it gives me so many rewards that my warehouse can't fit them all?"

"It really is a headache."

He muttered to himself with a humblebrag, then let out a yawn.

"Forget it, I won't think about it."

"Since Bibi Dong is so happy just getting tenth place,"

"Then I will..."

Venti adjusted his posture, finding a more comfortable angle to lie down, his hands pillowed behind his head.

"Just lie back and watch the show."

A gentle breeze brushed past, stirring the hair on his forehead.

A relaxed smile hung on the youth's lips, appearing exceptionally peaceful in the face of the coming storm.

"Who will be next?"

The images above the firmament shifted unpredictably.

Bibi Dong's wild laughter seemed to still echo in the sky, and the purple-black beam of light symbolizing evil and the Rakshasa had only just receded when a brilliant golden light tore through the clouds.

This golden light was completely different from the previous purple hue.

It was warm, sacred, and carried an awe-inspiring righteousness capable of cleansing all filth in the world.

The sea of clouds churned, as if pushed aside by a pair of invisible hands.

In the center of the ten thousand zhang of golden light, a long sword slowly emerged.

The blade was slender, appearing as a translucent, brilliant gold in its entirety. The hilt was carved with the totem of a Six-Winged Angel, every feather so lifelike that it seemed as if it would spread its wings and fly at any moment.

Around the blade, there were no vengeful spirits or black mist like those surrounding the Rakshasa Demon Scythe; instead, it burned with pure golden flames.

That was the True Sun Fire, a sacred fire capable of purifying all darkness.

[Rare Treasure Ranking Ninth Place: Angel Holy Sword!]

[Type: Divine Artifact]

[Holder: Spirit Hall Empire Grand Elder/Judgment Elder--Qian Renxue!]

As this sword appeared, the temperature across the entire continent seemed to rise.

The commoners, who had been trembling in fear from the chilling aura of the Rakshasa Demon Scythe, now bathed in this golden light and felt an unprecedented sense of peace and tranquility.

This was the personal sword of the Angel God, a symbol of justice and judgment.

Immediately following, a detailed introduction flowed across the Golden Ranking.

[Exclusive Divine Artifact of the Angel God, possessing the ultimate power of holiness and flame.]

[Trait 1: Judgment. Deals triple damage to all evil beings and carries a purification effect.]

[Trait 2: Sun Domain. The holder can channel the True Fire of the Sun through the blade, increasing soul power recovery speed by tenfold within the domain and granting immunity to all fire-attribute attacks.]

[Trait 3: Divine Protection. The blade contains the divine consciousness of the Angel God, capable of blocking one fatal attack.]

Seeing this magnificent attribute panel, the powerhouses of the major factions fell silent once again.

Although it was ranked only one spot higher than the Rakshasa Demon Scythe, the attributes of the Angel Holy Sword were clearly more comprehensive and domineering.

In particular, the immunity to fire-attribute attacks and the ability to block a fatal attack were simply god-tier life-saving skills.

However, the Sky Curtain did not give everyone much time to marvel.

Just like the "compensation" previously given to Bibi Dong, the Heavenly Dao also bestowed a blessing upon this super divine artifact that was also relegated to the bottom of the list.

[Given that the Angel Holy Sword is a divine artifact, its ranking is only ninth.]

[Hereby granting a reward--Divine Artifact Promotion!]

BOOM!

A golden pillar of light, even thicker than the previous one, descended from the sky and directly enveloped a location in the direction of the Worship Hall in Martial Soul City.

Within the pillar of light, the phantom of the Angel Holy Sword burned and was reforged.

The already flawless blade now bore a layer of faint crimson-gold patterns; it was a power hotter than the sun and more scorching than magma.

[Reward 1: Grant the Angel Holy Sword the "God-Slaying" trait!]

[Effect: Deals double damage to any existence at the god level! Ignores divine power protection!]

[Reward 2: Bestow upon the holder the "Angel Armor" External Soul Bone!]

[Effect: A set of winged battle armor that perfectly fits the Six-Winged Angel martial soul, significantly increasing defense and flight speed, and amplifying divine angel power by fifty percent!]

As these two lines of text appeared, Bibi Dong, who had been relatively calm, saw her expression instantly stiffen.

God-Slaying?

Double damage to gods?

This was an attribute designed specifically to counter god-level powerhouses!

If the previous bloodlust was meant to help her become a god faster, then this God-Slaying ability was meant to give Qian Renxue the power to slaughter gods!

At this moment, above Martial Soul City.

Qian Renxue hovered in mid-air, her six massive golden wings flapping slowly behind her.

Her stunningly beautiful face was filled with astonishment.

The Angel Holy Sword in her hand was undergoing a earth-shattering transformation; crimson-gold patterns spread across it, and the heart-palpitating power felt both strange and familiar to her.

On her body, a set of shimmering golden armor was slowly taking shape.

Feather-like plates tightly wrapped around her graceful frame, outlining her exquisite curves to perfection—at once sacred and inviolable, yet possessing a soul-stirring heroic spirit.

This was the External Soul Bone, Angel Armor.

"Ninth place?"

Qian Renxue gripped the longsword, feeling the surging, ocean-like divine power within her, yet her brows furrowed slightly.

She had assumed that with the grade of the Angel Holy Sword, it would at least make the top five.

After all, this was the divine artifact her grandfather Qian Daoliu had guarded his entire life, the supreme treasure left by the Angel God to his descendants.

Yet now, it was ranked only ninth?

"In this world, there are actually eight weapons stronger than the Angel Holy Sword?"

Qian Renxue muttered to herself, a flash of unyielding light in her eyes.

But soon, she was drawn to the "God-Slaying" trait.

This power...

Qian Renxue looked at the sword in her hand, a smile curling at the corners of her lips.

With this, even when facing that woman, she would have the confidence to truly stand on equal footing.

She retracted her wings and, transforming into a streak of golden light, descended directly toward the Pope Palace.
