Rewards Maxed Out!

At the same time.

Heaven Dou Empire coalition camp.

Watching the ranking manifest on the golden list in the sky, the expressions of the Shrek Seven Devils and the others turned grim.

"Damn it, it's actually Golden Crocodile Douluo from Spirit Hall who made the list!"

Dai Mubai slammed his fist onto the table beside him.

"That old fellow was already incredibly difficult to deal with. If he receives a reward from the Heavenly Dao and his strength advances further, it will be disadvantageous for us in the upcoming battle at Jialing Pass!"

With a great war imminent, the enemy's high-level combatant receiving a Heavenly Dao opportunity was definitely not good news.

However, Tang San, sitting to the side, appeared incomparably calm.

He gently stroked the Seagod Trident in his hand and spoke:

"Mubai, it's fine."

"Never mind one Golden Crocodile Douluo; even ten Golden Crocodile Douluos are nothing but rabble in my eyes, not worth mentioning."

Tang San turned his head to look at the massive golden scroll in the sky, a flash of fanaticism and greed crossing his eyes.

"The first place on this Strongest Power Ranking will undoubtedly be mine."

"Once I take first place and receive the most generous reward from the Heavenly Dao, no one in this world will be able to stop my progress."

"In the face of absolute power, all schemes, tricks, and struggles are merely futile."

Hearing Tang San's confident words, the spirits of the Shrek group were immediately stirred.

Ma Hongjun slapped his thigh and laughed heartily:

"Third Brother is right!"

"Third Brother is the heir to the Seagod; how could a mere level 98 Title Douluo possibly contend with a god?"

"We believe in you, Third Brother!"

Oscar also chuckled and chimed in:

"Exactly, with Third Brother here, what do we have to fear?"

"No matter how strong that Golden Crocodile Douluo is, could he possibly be stronger than a god?"

Just then.

The Heavenly Dao Gold List in the sky changed once again, beginning to display the combat footage of Golden Crocodile Douluo.

Within the image.

It was a stretch of endless, desolate mountains and wilderness.

Two figures exuding terrifying auras stood in confrontation within the void.

One of them was Golden Crocodile Douluo in his youth, his long golden hair dancing wildly, his entire body radiating a tyrannical aura.

His opponent was a middle-aged man dressed in white, holding an ancient Seven Kill Sword.

"That is... Chen Jianjun!"

Across the continent, experienced veteran powerhouses could not help but cry out in shock.

"That is the previous master of the Seven Kill Sword, the grandfather of Sword Dao Chen Xin, Chen Jianjun!"

"Good heavens, it's actually a duel between these two top-tier assault-type Title Douluos!"

In the image.

Golden Crocodile Douluo made the first move.

"ROAR!"

A majestic roar resounded through the heavens and earth.

The ninth black spirit ring behind Golden Crocodile Douluo lit up instantly, and the phantom of a massive Golden Crocodile King, ten thousand zhang in length, manifested in the sky.

The colossal Golden Crocodile King was covered from head to tail in scales that looked as if they were cast from gold; each scale was as large as a house, emitting a dazzling golden radiance.

Its massive tail swept out, tearing countless pitch-black cracks into the void, while the several mountain peaks below were instantly reduced to dust.

Facing this world-destroying strike, Chen Jianjun's expression remained unchanged.

He slowly raised the Seven Kill Sword in his hand and softly uttered:

"Seven Kill, Sword Dao!"

Hum!

A massive blue giant sword, also ten thousand zhang in length, condensed in the sky.

Ancient and mysterious sword patterns flowed across the giant blade, emitting a terrifying sword intent capable of severing everything.

BOOM!

The Golden Crocodile King and the Seven Kill giant sword collided violently in mid-air.

In that instant, the heavens and earth lost their color.

The terrifying aftermath of the energy transformed into a hurricane, obliterating every mountain and river within a radius of hundreds of miles.

Sword energy crisscrossed the air, and golden light filled the heavens.

The entire sky seemed to be torn into countless fragments, a scene that was truly horrifying to behold.

Within the ruins of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.

Chen Xin, who was struggling to recover from his injuries, stared blankly at the images in the sky, his entire being lost in a trance.

"Grandfather..."

Chen Xin murmured, a single tear sliding from the corner of his eye.

He had pursued the path of the sword his entire life, yet he had never witnessed his grandfather's combat with his own eyes.

He had only heard the legends of that earth-shattering battle from his father's lips.

Now, through this Heavenly Dao Gold List, he finally witnessed the grandeur of his grandfather from those years.

Watching the terrifying strength in the images, where every sword strike could tear the firmament asunder, Chen Xin felt the sword intent within his own body stirring restlessly.

Although Golden Crocodile Douluo was a powerhouse of the Spirit Hall Empire and his mortal enemy, Chen Xin had to admit, while watching that bold and unconstrained fighting style, that this Golden Crocodile Douluo was indeed a respectable opponent.

Heaven Dou Empire Allied Forces Camp.

The members of Shrek were also staring at the images in the sky; the look of ease on their faces had long since vanished, replaced by deep solemnity.

The world-destroying combat scene filled them with an immense sense of oppression.

Yu Xiaogang looked at the screen and could not help but sigh.

"Golden Crocodile Douluo is truly worthy of being the top genius of the previous era."

"His Golden Crocodile King spirit has reached the absolute pinnacle in both strength and defense; he is indeed difficult to deal with."

"It is only a pity that he stands on the side of the Spirit Hall Empire, destined to be our enemy."

Yu Xiaogang's voice carried a heavy tone.

The images gradually faded away.

The golden characters in the sky flickered once more, beginning to announce the rewards for Golden Crocodile Douluo's placement on the list.

[Golden Crocodile Douluo's Ranking Rewards:]

[1. Spirit Power increased by one level!]

[2. Spirit Evolution: Golden Crocodile King spirit evolves into—Primordial Golden Crocodile Ancestor!]

[3. Obtain a 100,000-year spirit bone: Primordial Crocodile Ancestor Torso Bone!]

The moment these three rewards were announced.

The entire Douluo Continent erupted at that very instant!

Countless cries of shock and gasps of cold air rang out from every corner of the continent.

"Good heavens! Spirit power increased by one level? Doesn't that mean Golden Crocodile Douluo has broken through to level ninety-nine?"

"A level ninety-nine Peerless Douluo! Who else in this world could possibly be his match?"

"What's even more terrifying is the spirit evolution! The Golden Crocodile King was already a top-tier spirit, but now it has actually evolved into the Primordial Golden Crocodile Ancestor? Just how powerful must that be?"

"And a 100,000-year spirit bone! Not to mention it's the most precious torso bone!"

"These rewards are simply heaven-defying!"

Countless people's eyes turned red, filled with jealousy and fanaticism.

Heaven Dou Empire Allied Forces Camp.

The originally cheerful atmosphere had vanished without a trace.

Yu Xiaogang's expression turned unsightly, his body trembling from extreme tension.

"Primordial Golden Crocodile Ancestor..."

"According to ancient records, the word 'Primordial' represents the absolute rulers of the ancient era."

"The Golden Crocodile King already possessed an extremely diluted ancient bloodline; now, with the help of the Heavenly Dao, it has actually undergone atavistic evolution into the Primordial Golden Crocodile Ancestor."

"Just hearing the name, I can feel a terrifying pressure emanating from the ancient past."

"Coupled with his current level ninety-nine peak cultivation... his strength has likely undergone a qualitative leap!"
