Clear Sky Sect Ranks Eighth! Three Peerless Douluo Appear

As a towering storm raged within Qian Daoliu's heart, the uproar and shock across the entire continent seemed to be instantly seized by an invisible hand!

Everyone's discussions, amazement, and envy came to an abrupt halt at that moment.

Because the dazzling divine light above the Sky Curtain changed once more!

The images and words belonging to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect slowly faded away, replaced by even deeper, more domineering gilded characters!

[Douluo Continent Faction Review...]

[Eighth Place: Clear Sky Sect!]

Boom!

If the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's reward had been a thunderclap from flat ground, then the Clear Sky Sect making the list was like a boulder crashing into a stagnant pond!

Although they had just witnessed the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's heaven-defying reward, few people found it strange or shocking that the former "number one sect in the world" ranked eighth.

After all, if even an auxiliary sect could receive such fortune, it seemed only reasonable for a sect that had remained hidden for years to rank here.

What people were more curious about was...

How exactly had this sect, renowned for its dominance and strength, risen to power? And what unknown secrets did it conceal?

[Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan Yu Yuanzhen: Clear Sky Sect... has it finally come to them?]

[Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect Ning Fengzhi: The strongest Tool Martial Soul in the world. Its strength is beyond question.]

[Shrek Academy Flender: Hiss... the Clear Sky Sect! That's Tang San's sect!]

The crowd buzzed with discussion, but at that very moment, a shocking change was taking place somewhere no one had expected!

Slaughter City.

This lawless land of depravity and bloodshed was shrouded in ominous red mist all year round.

Deep within its central palace, a figure seated cross-legged upon a blood pool throne abruptly opened his eyes!

What scarlet eyes they were! They seemed to contain mountains of corpses and seas of blood, with endless slaughter and madness surging within them!

Yet at that moment, amid the boundless madness, a trace of clarity had been forcibly squeezed out!

[ Ding! A special soul fluctuation has been detected. Conditions for viewing have been met. 'King of Slaughter' has joined the Chat Group. ]

A cold notification appeared in everyone's chat interface.

King of Slaughter?

Who was that?

Just as everyone was bewildered, two names that had long remained silent lit up in the Chat Group at nearly the same time!

[Spirit Hall Qian Daoliu: Tang Chen?! You're still alive?!]

[Sea God Island Bo Saixi: You... still chose that path in the end.]

Two short sentences instantly plunged the entire Chat Group into dead silence!

Qian Daoliu! Bo Saixi, the High Priestess of Sea God Island!

These two were beings on an entirely different level from the Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo who had just received rewards! They were true Peerless Douluo standing at the peak of the continent's pyramid!

The person who could move both of them at once, even making them call out his name... just who was this King of Slaughter called "Tang Chen"?!

The leaders of every faction felt their hearts skip a beat! A chill shot from the soles of their feet straight to the crowns of their heads!

They realized that they might have caught a glimpse of an earth-shattering secret!

Under countless horrified gazes, that new name finally responded.

[King of Slaughter Tang Chen: Qian Daoliu, you old bastard still aren't dead. Bo Saixi... long time no see.]

The calm response carried an air that showed he was fully qualified to stand on equal footing with Qian Daoliu and Bo Saixi!

For a time, no one dared to interject.

The entire Chat Group seemed to have become a private reception room for these three legendary figures.

After their brief exchange, Tang Chen's attention seemed to have been drawn to the review on the Sky Curtain.

[King of Slaughter Tang Chen: Clear Sky Sect... is it reviewing Patriarch Tang Potian? Heh heh, interesting. I too am curious just what kind of bearing that legendary patriarch possessed.]

His words paused, and then he dropped a bombshell powerful enough to overturn the entire Soul Master world's understanding!

[King of Slaughter Tang Chen: Speaking of which, the so-called Great Sumeru Hammer, Ring Detonation, and Clear Sky Nine Absolutes that I passed down to later generations were merely fragments of what I gleaned from the stone chamber left behind by our patriarch.]

The moment those words emerged, they shook the world like shattering stone!

In some unknown village.

A blacksmith who spent his days drowned in alcohol, radiating an aura of utter despondence, suddenly choked on his drink and began coughing violently!

For the first time, a terrifying gleam burst forth from Tang Hao's murky eyes!

What?!

The Great Sumeru Hammer... Ring Detonation...

These ultimate techniques, hailed as the highest mysteries of the Clear Sky Sect and supposedly created by his grandfather Tang Chen, actually... actually had not been created by his grandfather?

They had originated from an even more ancient patriarch, Tang Potian?!

How was that possible!

He abruptly turned his head toward his son beside him, who looked young but stood with his back perfectly straight.

Tang San's mind had likewise gone completely blank from the sudden revelation!

He looked at the King of Slaughter named "Tang Chen" in the Chat Group, then at the lost and shattered expression on his father's face...

A startling guess began to grow wildly in his heart!

Tang Chen... Tang Hao...

Grandfather?!

This legendary figure, powerful enough to converse with Spirit Hall's Grand Worshiper and Sea God Island's High Priestess, was his great-grandfather?!

Then his father...

Tang San's body trembled slightly.

He recalled the villagers' gossip, the black hammer his father had hidden away, and Spirit Hall's pursuit of him...

A legendary title exploded through his mind!

Clear Sky Douluo!

So his father, who appeared utterly dispirited, was actually the legendary Clear Sky Douluo who had severely wounded Spirit Hall's Pope all by himself...

Elsewhere.

Deep within Spirit Hall's Elder Hall.

Qian Daoliu's golden pupils contracted sharply!

He had always regarded Tang Chen as both the greatest rival and closest friend of his life, a peerless genius whose talent had even surpassed his own!

He had always believed that the incomparably domineering Great Sumeru Hammer and the absurdly overbearing Ring Detonation were Self-Created Soul Skills born from Tang Chen's unmatched genius!

But now, Tang Chen had personally said that those techniques had merely been comprehended from the legacy left behind by his forebears!

Just how powerful had that Tang Potian from ten thousand years ago been?!

Inside the Papal Hall.

Bibi Dong had originally been reclining lazily upon her throne, but now she slowly sat upright.

An unprecedented interest... and greed flickered within her violet eyes!

Ring Detonation!

She would never forget those words for the rest of her life!

It was precisely that move which had left her teacher—the person she hated most, the previous Pope Qian Xunji—gravely wounded, ultimately allowing her scheme to succeed.

Such a terrifying, heaven-defying technique...

If... if she could use the Sky Curtain's review to glimpse even a trace of its secrets...

What an enormous improvement would that bring to Spirit Hall as a whole?

In an instant, Bibi Dong's breathing became somewhat hurried.

Just as the entire continent was shaken to its core by Tang Chen's revelation, golden light flowed across the Sky Curtain, and lines of ancient text slowly began to emerge.
