Golden Ranking's Fifth Revealed! Gu Yuena: Just How Strong Is That Human?!

Within the Star Dou Great Forest.

Gu Yuena raised her head and looked at the Heavenly Screen.

She did not care about the fifth place on the ranking.

What she truly wanted to know was whether the human who had just taken away the Light Dragon God Butterfly would appear later on the ranking.

That person had not released his Martial Soul.

He had not revealed any Soul Rings.

He had not even displayed his true cultivation.

Yet with a single sword strike, he had left Bear Lord unable to resist.

A hint of curiosity appeared in Gu Yuena's violet eyes.

"If he is on the ranking too..."

"I wonder what place he will take."

Di Tian and the other ferocious Soul Beasts raised their heads at the same time.

They were more eager to see Gu Yuena's and Di Tian's names appear.

In the eyes of the Soul Beast clan, the top two places were surely reserved for the two rulers of the Lake of Life.

Bear Lord rubbed the sword mark on his right claw.

He no longer mocked human Soul Masters.

At the very least, that person from earlier was not someone he could afford to provoke.

Within Spirit City.

Bibi Dong stood before Papal Hall, holding the Rakshasa Sword.

She was also waiting for the fifth place to be revealed.

Bibi Dong looked toward the distant Qian Daoliu.

Qian Daoliu stood outside Angel God's Temple, his gaze fixed on the fifth position.

He did not speak.

But Bibi Dong knew.

As long as Qian Daochen appeared on the ranking, Spirit Hall's future would change once more.

The golden light within the Heavenly Screen grew increasingly brilliant.

The eyes of the entire continent gathered on the fifth position of the Supreme Ranking.

The next moment.

An ancient aura slowly descended from the depths of the golden radiance.

Elsewhere.

Qian Daochen had already left the Star Dou Great Forest.

His white-clad figure stepped across the sea of clouds.

The ancient sword at his waist hung quietly, while the Light Dragon God Butterfly inside his Storage Soul Tool had already fallen asleep.

He raised his head and looked at the fifth position on the Supreme Ranking.

Tang Chen was ranked sixth.

Next, only Qian Daoliu and Bo Saixi remained.

The three of them had often fought each other in their youth.

Tang Chen was the strongest in direct offense.

Qian Daoliu possessed the Seraphim Martial Soul and could also draw upon Angel God Power.

Meanwhile, when Bo Saixi was at sea, she could wield the Sea God Blessing.

If only their Soul Master realms were considered, the gap between them was not large.

Tang Chen's body and soul were no longer at their peak, so it was no surprise that he ranked sixth.

As for fifth place...

Qian Daochen was rather interested as well.

"Who will it be?"

He stopped among the clouds, letting the high-altitude breeze stir the hem of his robe.

Thirty years had passed.

Neither Qian Daoliu nor Bo Saixi would have remained where they were.

Especially Qian Daoliu.

That boy had followed behind him in cultivation since childhood.

Every time he lost, he would come looking for him again the next day.

Before Qian Daochen left Spirit City, Qian Daoliu had already begun trying to integrate Angel God Power into himself.

If he had not neglected his cultivation, he should be far stronger than he had been back then.

"After returning to Spirit City, I should bring Daoliu something too."

Qian Daochen recalled how Qian Daoliu had looked in his youth.

Whenever the other man returned from traveling the continent, he would bring him a jug of wine.

Sometimes it was snow-brewed liquor from the Far North.

Sometimes it was sea spring wine from Sea God Island.

The wine was not necessarily precious, but that sentiment had remained to this day.

Qian Daochen had been away from Spirit Hall for thirty years.

Now that he was returning, he could not exactly meet his younger brother empty-handed.

His gaze shifted toward the Heaven Dou Empire.

Within Heaven Dou City was a winery that had been passed down for several centuries.

The wine there was barely drinkable.

"Then I'll make a trip to Heaven Dou City first."

The white-clad figure took a step forward.

The clouds beneath his feet parted to either side.

The next moment, Qian Daochen had already appeared dozens of li away.

No matter who took fifth place, it would not affect his pace.

The rewards at the top of the Supreme Ranking might change the continent's balance.

But in Qian Daochen's eyes, they were still merely external aids.

Divine artifacts were one thing.

Godhood was another.

If one's state of mind and personal path could not bear such power, then even the strongest reward would be nothing but a castle in the air.

After obtaining incomplete Godhood, Tang Chen might be able to step into God Rank.

If Bo Saixi and Qian Daoliu received rewards, they would advance further as well.

To Qian Daochen, that was instead a good thing.

"The higher you stand, the more qualified you are to receive my sword."

He continued toward Heaven Dou City.

At that moment, the golden light in the sky finally dispersed completely.

Clear Sky Sect.

The sect's main hall.

Tang Xiao and several elders all stared at the fifth position.

After Tang Chen received his rewards, the people of Clear Sky Sect had regained their confidence.

The Seventh Elder stood with his hands behind his back.

"I would like to see who can rank above Lord Tang Chen."

The Second Elder looked at the Heavenly Screen image that was gradually taking shape.

"The old sect master's current state is not his peak."

"The Supreme Ranking counted the Nine-Headed Bat King's influence in his ranking."

"Even if fifth place ranks above the old sect master, that does not mean they would certainly win in a battle at their peaks."

The other elders nodded one after another.

Tang Chen's direct offensive power was the greatest among the three Peerless Douluo.

The Great Sumeru Hammer combined with Ring Detonation was enough to suppress powerhouses of the same level head-on.

If not for the Nine-Headed Bat King's parasitism, Tang Chen might not have stopped at sixth place.

An elder said in a deep voice:

"Qian Daoliu should be within the top five."

The Seventh Elder snorted coldly.

"Back then, Qian Daoliu personally admitted that he was no match for the old sect master in a direct battle."

"If he ranks ahead, it is only because he is taking advantage of Angel God's Temple."

The Second Elder stroked his beard.

"Bo Saixi may also make the ranking."

"She can draw upon Sea God Island's power."

Tang Xiao did not join the argument.

He watched the surging golden light in the Heavenly Screen.

Tang Chen was already ranked sixth.

This meant that every one of the top five possessed the power to suppress ordinary Peerless Douluo.

The golden radiance finally faded away.

A vast blue sea appeared in the sky.

Waves stretched from one end of the Heavenly Screen to the other.

An island shrouded in Sea God's Light appeared before countless eyes.

Sea God's Mountain pierced straight into the clouds.

The Seven Sacred Pillars surrounded the island.

Before the Sea God Temple atop the mountain, a red-robed figure held a scepter and faced the boundless sea.

Her deep-blue hair drifted in the sea breeze.

Golden words spanned the heavens.

[Supreme Powerhouse Ranking, Fifth Place!]

[Bo Saixi!]

The two continents fell silent in an instant.

Several breaths later, countless comments filled the sky.

[Rogue Soul Emperor: Fifth place is actually Sea God Douluo Bo Saixi!]

[Elephant Armor Sect Master Huyan Zhen: Ocean Invincible only ranks fifth?]

[Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect Master Yu Yuanzhen: Tang Chen is sixth, Bo Saixi is fifth, and Qian Daoliu still has not appeared!]

[Sea Horse Douluo: How is this possible? When Lady Bo Saixi is on Sea God Island, no one beneath the gods can defeat her!]

[Mighty Lion Douluo: Bo Saixi has appeared. As expected, the Grand Worshiper's ranking is even higher!]

[Clear Sky Sect Seventh Elder: Qian Daoliu may not necessarily be on the ranking. The top four could also be other existences!]

[Chrysanthemum Douluo Yue Guan: Two of the three Peerless Douluo have already appeared. Only the Grand Worshiper has yet to be revealed.]

[Rogue Soul Master: Could Sky Invincible be the strongest of the three?]

Slaughter City.

Blood-Red Palace.

Tang Chen had already opened his eyes.

A five-hundred-thousand-year Soul Ring circled around the Clear Sky Hammer.

The Heaven-Mixing Hammer floated at the side of the throne.

The incomplete Godhood had transformed into a pure white crystal, hovering within his forehead.

After accepting the three rewards, the injuries Tang Chen had accumulated over many years had already healed.

The Nine-Headed Bat King had also lost its ability to resist.

It had originally intended to seize Tang Chen's body while he fused with the Soul Ring.

But the pure divinity within the incomplete Godhood firmly suppressed its consciousness.
