The older generation of Soul Masters broke out in cold sweat.

They felt a chill shoot from the soles of their feet straight to the crowns of their heads. "I never thought that butcher Qian Daoliu was still alive..."

At that moment, it was as if they had seen their departed loved ones.

A man's reputation was like a tree's shadow.

Back then, Qian Daoliu had wielded a sword alone and plunged the entire continent into panic.

The two great mountains of the Soul Master world were no empty words.

In their era, only Tang Chen, one of those two mountains, could stand against that executioner Qian Daoliu...

What were the two great mountains?

They symbolized two mountains that could never be surpassed.

One was Qian Daoliu, the Angel Douluo, invincible in the sky.

The other was Tang Chen, the Clear Sky Douluo, invincible on land.

Yet Qian Daoliu, who had suppressed an entire era, could only rank ninth on the Sky Screen's top ten powerhouse list. Was the water in Douluo Continent really this deep?

While everyone was still stunned, Spirit City erupted.

The pillar holding up their Spirit Hall, the former former Pope and current chief worshipper, could only rank ninth on the Human Powerhouse Rankings? Was the Sky Screen joking with them?

"The chief worshipper can only rank ninth? Is the Sky Screen sure it didn't make a mistake?"

"Unofficial rankings! These must be unofficial rankings!"

"Rigged! This powerhouse list must be rigged!"

"I'm reporting it! I'm reporting this list!"

"Yeah, yeah! I wanna inspect the cards!"

The other six worshippers completely exploded, pointing at the Sky Screen as they jumped about in outrage, their faces filled with indignation.

It would have been one thing if Bibi Dong had made the list, but their chief worshipper could only rank ninth? If this list was not rigged, they would not only wash their hair upside down—they would even streak through all of Spirit City.

Their big brother was a genuine Level 99 Peerless Douluo. Once he drew upon Angel God Power, he could step half a foot into the Divine Realm. Even Bibi Dong would have to kneel and admit her mistake.

And yet such an overwhelmingly powerful Qian Daoliu could only rank ninth. Who would believe that?

"There really are hidden dragons and crouching tigers in this world!"

Even Qian Daoliu could not help sighing.

Other than his two old friends, he had never expected there to be so many unknown powerhouses in this world. It truly made him curious!

Yet when he thought of those two old friends, a trace of loneliness flashed through Qian Daoliu's eyes.

Of the three old friends, he was the first to make the list!

Tang Chen and Bo Saixi had yet to appear, so they were surely ranked higher.

Was he really weaker than Tang Chen?

When pursuing Bo Saixi, he had already lost once.

During their final spar, he had lost a second time.

Now, would the Human Powerhouse Rankings make him lose a third time?

[TOP 9: Qian Daoliu.] [Identity: Former former Pope of Spirit Hall, chief worshipper of Worship Hall, servant of the Angel God, high priest of the Angel God.] [Martial Soul: Six-Winged Angel.] [Soul Power Level: Level 99 (Demigod).] [Title: Angel Douluo.] [Soul Ring Configuration: Black, black, black, black, black, black, black, black, red.] [The gap between Level 99 and God-Level is as vast as heaven and earth. Level 99 is further divided into: Peerless Douluo, Demigod, and Quasi-God.] [Qian Daoliu's own strength is that of a Level 99 Peerless Douluo. As the servant and high priest of the Angel Deity, he can borrow Angel God Power and forcibly step into the Demigod realm for a short time.] [Demigods are gods too. There are still eight human powerhouses on Douluo Star who have stepped into the Divine Realm.]

Everyone: "What the hell???"

Qian Daoliu was not only a Demigod—there were also eight unknown God-Level powerhouses on Douluo Star?

Golden Crocodile and the others looked at Qian Daoliu, strange expressions flashing through their eyes.

They had never expected that besides Qian Daoliu, there were another eight powerhouses who had likewise stepped into the Divine Realm.

The key was that, despite possessing the same God-Level combat power, Qian Daoliu was no match for those other eight?

That was rather embarrassing to say out loud!

Within the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.

A look of astonishment appeared on Snow Empress's face.

"Of the three great Peerless Douluo, Qian Daoliu was actually the first to make the list!"

She knew about the three great Peerless Douluo as well.

Qian Daoliu, invincible in the sky.

Tang Chen, invincible on land.

Bo Saixi, invincible in the ocean.

Whether it was the Six-Winged Angel Martial Soul or the Sea God Martial Soul, both were God-Level Martial Souls, while the Clear Sky Hammer was merely a top-tier Martial Soul. With such an enormous innate advantage, Qian Daoliu had actually been surpassed by Tang Chen.

The God-Level Six-Winged Angel Martial Soul was actually inferior to the top-tier Clear Sky Hammer Martial Soul? Just how pathetic was Qian Daoliu?

At that moment, Snow Empress could not help wondering whether Qian Renxue would truly be reliable when she became the next Angel God and faced the God Realm.

It could not be helped. Snow Empress could not be blamed for thinking that way.

Qian Daoliu was simply too pathetic.

"Tut, tut, tut!"

"Stinky man, your judgment is terrible!"

"The Six-Winged Angel is a God-Level Martial Soul, yet it actually lost to a hammer. From what the Sky Screen revealed, Qian Daoliu was clearly inferior to Tang Chen!"

Ice Empress mocked him gleefully from the side.

Who told Shui Wuyou to always think so highly of the Angel God!

"The one who is strong is Tang Chen. It has nothing to do with the Clear Sky Hammer!"

"Even if Tang Chen had a different top-tier Martial Soul, he would still be stronger than that idiot Qian Daoliu..."

Shui Wuyou shot Ice Empress an irritated look.

Ever since he had sweet-talked...

No, that was not right—ever since he had married Snow Empress, this little female brat, Ice Empress, had always loved picking fights with him.

Rather than being Shui Wuyou's wife, Ice Empress was more like a buy-one-get-one-free bonus. Shui Wuyou had married Snow Empress, so how could this dead lesbian possibly leave Snow Empress?

Left with no choice, Shui Wuyou could only painfully yet happily marry the tsundere little female brat Ice Empress as well.

Seeing the two bickering away, Snow Empress could only shake her head helplessly.

"Husband, with your current strength, you should be able to break the shackles on Qian Daoliu, right?"

"I have heard you mention Qian Daoliu before. Though he is not very bright, he does not have so many twists and turns in his heart."

"Moreover, Qian Daoliu has already stepped half a foot into the Divine Realm. If you help him, Qian Daoliu can definitely become a Deity."

"Relying on only the few of us to fight the God Realm will ultimately leave us outnumbered. If you help Qian Daoliu become a god, it would count as adding another God-Level combatant to our side..."

The shackles binding Qian Daoliu were nothing more than the restraints imposed by his position as the Angel God's high priest.

As long as Shui Wuyou broke those restraints, then gave Qian Daoliu some time, he could completely gather faith and become a god on his own.

Shui Wuyou shook his head. "No rush. When Qian Daoliu sacrifices himself and Qian Renxue ascends to the Angel Godhood, it will not be too late for me to pull him back..."

In the original story, Qian Daoliu had died completely after his sacrifice.

But the original story was the original story. Since he had transmigrated to Douluo Continent, how could he possibly let things unfold according to its plot?

Not only would he save Qian Daoliu, he would also subdue that tsundere little angel, Qian Renxue.

Just as Shui Wuyou was thinking this, the image on the Sky Screen changed once more...
