Asura Demon Sword!

Inside the Pope Palace.

Bibi Dong looked at the Silver Dragon Spear, her expression turning incredibly ugly.

"Sixth place..."

"It's actually ranked above the Vision?"

She had originally thought the forty-nine Visions were already heaven-defying existences, but she hadn't expected this single Silver Dragon Spear to rank even higher.

"That old fellow Qian Daoliu once said there is a great terror deep within the Star Dou Forest."

"It seems it must be this Gu Yuena."

Qian Renxue stood in the great hall as well, her stunningly beautiful face filled with gravity.

"Mother, if Tang San and this Gu Yuena join forces..."

"Then our Martial Soul Empire will have no chance of victory."

This was their greatest fear.

The enemy of an enemy is a friend.

If Tang San were to court the soul beast forces of the Star Dou Forest just to deal with Martial Soul Hall, the consequences would be unimaginable.

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

"That won't happen."

"I understand that hypocrite Tang San better than you do."

"He prides himself on being the embodiment of justice; how could he ever associate with soul beasts?"

"I am more worried about something else than them joining forces..."

Bibi Dong didn't finish her sentence, but Qian Renxue understood what she meant.

She was worried that Gu Yuena might strike out on her own, intervening at this critical juncture and muddying the waters of the entire Douluo Continent even further.

Just as the various factions were lost in their own thoughts, the rewards on the Sky Curtain were announced.

[In view of the noble bloodline of the Silver Dragon Spear holder and the extraordinary quality of the divine artifact, it is ranked sixth on the Rare Treasure Ranking!]

[Special rewards are hereby granted!]

[Reward 1: Silver Dragon Spear quality upgraded! Promoted to--Bright Silver Divine Dragon Spear!]

[Reward 2: Granting the holder--Dragon God Heart!]

Hum--

The Sky Curtain vibrated.

A beam of light, brilliant to the extreme, fell like a meteor into the core area of the Star Dou Forest.

In the image, the originally silver-white spear now had a layer of flowing divine light on its surface, the shaft becoming even more crystalline and translucent, as if it were condensed from pure light.

What was even more shocking was the so-called "Dragon God Heart."

It was a heart-shaped crystal radiating nine-colored light.

It slowly merged into the holder's body.

The next moment.

ROAR--!!!

A dragon's roar, powerful enough to shatter the firmament, erupted from deep within the Star Dou Forest.

At this moment, all the soul beasts on the entire Douluo Continent prostrated themselves on the ground, trembling and bowing in worship toward that direction.

It was the suppression of a monarch from the depths of the soul.

In the core circle of the Star Dou Forest, beside the Life Lake.

Gu Yuena, with her silver hair and purple eyes, felt the Dragon God Heart beating powerfully within her, and a trace of undisguised excitement appeared on her originally cold face.

"The Dragon God Heart..."

"It actually really helped me retrieve it."

She could feel that her injuries, which had never been able to heal, were recovering at an astonishing speed under the nourishment of this nine-colored divine power.

Not only that, but the half of the Dragon God's divinity that she had been missing also seemed to be gradually completing itself.

What did this mean?

It meant she had the hope of returning to her peak, or even going a step further to recreate the glory of the Dragon God of the past!

Gu Yuena gripped the evolved Bright Silver Divine Dragon Spear tightly in her hand, feeling its unparalleled power, and a surge of heroic spirit rose in her heart.

"Sky Curtain... truly a masterful method."

However, after the excitement faded, Gu Yuena looked at the Golden Ranking in the sky, her brows slightly furrowed.

"But..."

"With such a supreme treasure, added to the strength of This Seat, it only ranked sixth?"

"What kind of monsters are those five up ahead?"

She felt somewhat unconvinced.

The Silver Dragon Spear was already a prototype of a super divine artifact; now that it had evolved, it was enough to rival the top-tier divine artifacts of the God Realm.

And it still couldn't make the top five?

This Rare Treasure Ranking must be rigged, right?

Meanwhile.

On the roof of a tavern in Godwind City, Venti leaned against the tiles, legs crossed, holding a bottle of Apple Cider with no regard for his image.

A gentle breeze blew by, lifting his black braided hair.

Watching Gu Yuena's peerless dragon might displayed on the Sky Curtain, he couldn't help but let out a snort of laughter.

"Oh my, oh my."

"This little dragon is quite lucky."

"To have even the Dragon God Heart revealed—those old fogies in the God Realm are going to have a hard time sitting still now."

Venti tilted his head back and took a swig of wine, his face full of the expression of someone enjoying a spectacle.

Having stayed in this world for so long, watching the established threads of fate get thrown into chaos by this Sky Curtain was, in its own way, a unique pleasure.

"Let the collapse begin."

"The more chaotic it gets, the more fun it is, anyway."

"If everything just played out according to plan, how boring would that be, right?"

Venti raised his cup to the air, as if drinking with an invisible old friend.

"Though, having said that."

"I should be careful not to trip up myself later on."

Despite his words of caution, there wasn't a hint of tension in his emerald-green eyes—only amusement.

The Sky Curtain ignored the shock and confusion of the masses as the Golden Ranking scrolled once more.

This time, the color of the entire sky shifted in an instant.

If the previous cyan had been agile and the silver noble, then what appeared before everyone now was endless blood and slaughter.

A dark red glow stained the clouds, and a scent of blood so thick it was nauseating seemed to drill into everyone's noses, as if piercing through the screen itself.

Amidst a towering sea of blood, a massive sword slowly rose.

The blade was wide and heavy, entirely dark red, and covered in eerie demonic patterns.

It had no scabbard, for no sheath in this world could contain such terrifying killing intent.

Just one glance was enough to make one feel as if their soul were being sucked into the blade and shredded by its malevolence.

[Rare Treasure Ranking, Fifth Place: Asura Demon Sword!]

At this moment, Tang San, standing atop Jialing Pass, shuddered violently.

The light of the Sea God Trident in his hand dimmed instantly, replaced by the sudden, brilliant flare of the blood-red, sword-shaped mark on his forehead.

That was the inheritance mark of the Asura God.

The characters on the Golden Ranking looked as if they had been cast in fresh blood.

[Type: Super Divine Artifact / Sword of Judgment]

[Holder: Tang San]

[Introduction: The personal sword of the Asura God, one of the five great enforcers of the God Realm. It governs slaughter and judgment and is one of the most powerful offensive divine artifacts in the God Realm. The wielder of this sword may act as the heavens' enforcer, slaying gods and demons alike; nothing can withstand its edge!]

In the image, a blood-red figure brandished the giant sword, and with a single swing, even the stars were cleaved in two.

"Asura Demon Sword..."

Inside the Pope Palace, Bibi Dong slumped into her chair, her face as pale as paper.

As a successor to a godhood herself, she naturally understood what the Asura God signified.

That was a God King!

A supreme existence that stood above even Tier 1 gods!

Before the Asura God, the Rakshasa God was like a mouse meeting a cat; there was no power to resist.

"How could this be..."

"How could Tang San possess this sword?"
