Power Ranking Revealed, Venti!

Immediately, a golden scroll covering the sky and obscuring the sun slowly unfurled across the Sky Curtain.

The scroll was unimaginably vast; no matter which corner of the continent one stood in, as long as one looked up, every character upon it could be seen with absolute clarity.

[Golden Ranking manifests!]

[All who make the list shall receive a God's Gift reward!]

[First Ranking: Continent's Strongest Power Ranking!]

Rows of golden ancient seal characters manifested in the void, carrying supreme pressure.

Venti watched the sudden anomaly above his head, his originally lazy gaze slightly sharpening, and then the smile at the corners of his mouth deepened.

"Yo, this is getting more and more interesting."

"So, have I arrived at a world line that has a Heavenly Ranking?"

He sat up straight from the grass, examining the golden Sky Curtain with great interest, his fingers tapping a rhythm against his knees.

"Then this will be fun."

Martial Soul Hall, Pope Palace.

Bibi Dong sat high upon the papal throne, clutching the scepter that symbolized supreme power.

Her luxurious papal robes outlined the perfect curves of her figure, and her noble, cold, and glamorous temperament made people afraid to look directly at her.

At this moment, her deep eyes were fixed intently on the Sky Curtain outside the palace, her gaze gloomy and profound.

"Golden Ranking? Power Ranking?"

Bibi Dong let out a cold snort, her soul power surging, causing the surrounding air to distort.

Although she did not know what kind of trick this Sky Curtain was, she had absolute confidence in the strength of Martial Soul Hall.

On this continent, besides Martial Soul Hall, who else was worthy of being called number one?

The top spot on this Golden Ranking belonged to none other than Martial Soul Hall!

Ambition flickered in Bibi Dong's eyes; she would use this opportunity to announce the might of the Spirit Hall Empire to the whole world and intimidate all those of low character!

Star Dou Forest, core area.

The water of Life Lake churned violently.

A silver light rushed out from the bottom of the lake, transforming into a woman of peerless beauty.

Gu Yuena stood silently in the void, her long silver hair cascading down to her ankles like a waterfall, her purple eyes filled with curiosity and inquiry.

Her skin was whiter than snow, her appearance was city-toppling, and she carried an ethereal and noble air that did not belong to the mortal world.

"This power..."

Gu Yuena frowned slightly, her purple eyes fixed tightly on the Golden Ranking upon the Sky Curtain.

This power did not belong to any deity in the God Realm; it was even more ancient and mysterious than a God King.

"World, has some change occurred?"

She had not been awake for long and had originally been planning the great revival of the soul beasts, yet she had not expected such a sudden turn of events.

Outside Godwind City, on the official road.

A well-equipped army was marching majestically toward the city gates.

At the very front of the procession, two figures rode on tall horses, standing side by side.

The person on the left, with a rigid face and a serious expression, was the Imperial Preceptor of the Heaven Dou Empire, Yu Xiaogang.

At this time, he was no longer the "trash master" who had been mocked by others.

Ever since Tang San became a god, his status had risen with the tide; in the Heaven Dou Empire, he was truly one person above ten thousand.

He held his head high, his gaze sweeping over the magnificent Godwind City in the distance, a trace of arrogance flashing in his eyes.

He had cultivated Tang San, a god—this was his greatest asset!

In his view, although the world was vast, with Tang San, there was no one who could oppose them.

The person on the right, with a tall stature, wild golden hair, and evil eyes, was the Evil Eye White Tiger, Dai Mubai.

"Master, this Godwind City is quite prosperous; it will surely be possible to recruit many able-bodied men for the army."

Dai Mubai looked at the towering city walls, a trace of greed flashing in his eyes.

The Heaven Dou Empire was currently expanding its military armaments to confront the Spirit Hall Empire and was in urgent need of a large number of troops.

As a neutral city with a large population and abundant resources, Godwind City had naturally become a piece of fat meat in their eyes.

Yu Xiaogang nodded, his hands clasped behind his back, striking a pose of unfathomable depth:

"The City Lord of Godwind City, Venti, though he has some fame, can only submit in the face of the grand trend."

"If he knows what's good for him and offers up his troops and provisions, then so be it."

"But if he doesn't..."

Yu Xiaogang let out a cold snort, leaving the rest unsaid, though the threat in his words was self-evident.

Just then, the Sky Curtain trembled, and the Golden Ranking descended.

Dai Mubai pulled on his reins, looking up at the sky with eyes full of shock:

"Master, what is that...?"

Yu Xiaogang was also startled by this heaven-shaking phenomenon, but he quickly calmed himself, stroked his chin, and feigned composure:

"No need to panic."

"Regardless of what this is, Tang San is now the Sea God, invincible under the heavens!"

"If this Golden Ranking is real, the top spot must belong to our side!"

He believed this with absolute certainty.

Gods—what magnificent existences they were.

No matter how strong mortal powers might be, they were nothing but ants in the face of a god.

As the two spoke, the golden light above the Sky Curtain began to converge, and lines of large characters gradually became clear.

[Power Ranking announcement!]

[Sixth Place: Clear Sky Sect!]

The moment he saw these words, the hand Yu Xiaogang had been using to stroke his chin jerked violently, nearly pulling out his own beard.

He widened his already small eyes, his face full of astonishment.

"Clear Sky Sect?!"

"Sixth place?!"

Yu Xiaogang's voice went out of tune, his face etched with disbelief.

What was the Clear Sky Sect?

It was the once-greatest sect in the world!

Possessing the top-tier tool spirit, the Clear Sky Hammer, and boasting two Douluo, its foundation was incomparably deep.

Even after closing its gates for many years, its strength was absolutely terrifying.

In his original projections, even if the Clear Sky Sect wasn't first, it should have at least been in the top three.

How could it possibly be ranked only sixth?

"This... how is this possible?"

Dai Mubai was also shocked; he knew well the strength of the Clear Sky Sect, as Tang San himself hailed from it.

"If the Clear Sky Sect is only ranked sixth, then the top five... what kind of monsters are they?"

Yu Xiaogang stared fixedly at the Sky Curtain, a sense of absurdity welling up in his heart.

Could this ranking be fake?

Or... were there hidden powers in this world that he didn't know about?

No, impossible!

He, Yu Xiaogang, was known as the master of theory, having read every ancient text; what power on this continent could escape his eyes?

The scene on the Sky Curtain shifted, cutting directly to the interior of the Clear Sky Sect.

Above the precipitous mountain peaks, clouds and mist swirled.

On the plaza in front of the Clear Sky Sect's main hall, a group of burly men holding giant hammers were gathered together, all of them dumbfounded as they looked at the Sky Curtain overhead.

The Sect Master, Tang Xiao, stood at the very front, his thick, heavy soul power fluctuating uncontrollably.

"Sixth?"

"My Clear Sky Sect... is actually only sixth?"

Tang Xiao clenched his fists tightly, veins bulging on his forehead, his heart filled with humiliation and resentment.

Think of his Clear Sky Sect, once a force that shook the world—who didn't know of them?

Though they had lived in seclusion, their strength had not regressed; rather, through years of sharpening their blades and feeding their horses, they had become even stronger.

Yet, on this so-called Golden Ranking, they couldn't even make the top five?

"Absurd! Simply absurd!"

Beside him, a tall man with one arm and a missing leg, yet still radiating a terrifying aura, slammed his hand onto the armrest of his wheelchair.

It was the Clear Sky Douluo, Tang Hao!
