The boundless sea lay calm and still.
Suddenly, a streak of golden light descended.
Then an enormous creature appeared out of thin air.
It was none other than the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King.
He looked around blankly at the familiar ocean.
"Didn't I die?"
Before he could resolve his confusion, tremendous power erupted within him, instantly pushing his cultivation past the million-year threshold.
Then the clear sky suddenly filled with dark clouds, thunder rolling through them.
Thick, silvery-white serpents of lightning roared within the leaden clouds.
The Deep Sea Demonic Whale King was utterly bewildered.
Wait, what was going on?
Not only was I alive, but I was about to undergo a tribulation and become a god?
He looked up at the thunder that sent waves of terror through him, his expression horrified:
"I'm not ready at all! Why is this lightning tribulation so much stronger than I imagined? It feels like any one of those bolts could kill me!
There's no way I can survive this! Why is the tribulation to become a god so terrifying?!
Why is it so hard for a soul beast to become a god..."
He gave a bitter smile. "It seems I'm destined never to become a god."
Just then, a dazzling golden light burst from his body and shot straight into the sky, shattering the thunderclouds. The tribulation instantly dispersed, leaving clear skies again.
"???"
The Deep Sea Demonic Whale King was stunned.
Wait, where was the lightning tribulation?
Where had my enormous lightning tribulation gone?
In the midst of his bewilderment, he discovered, to his shock, that his body had begun to transform.
He was actually transforming from a whale into a dragon.
An enormous, long dragon covered entirely in deep-blue scales.
Although he had no idea what had happened, the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King knew he had become a god.
He couldn't help bursting into wild laughter:
"Hahahaha! I've finally become a god! From this day forth, I am the Sea God Dragon!"
After a long while, he calmed down and recalled the scene before his death.
"That human's fist was terrifying. He blew me apart with a single punch."
He snorted coldly. "But now that I've become a god, no matter how strong that human is, he can't possibly be my match.
The advantage is mine! I'll have my revenge! But before that..."
As he spoke, he looked toward Sea God Island:
"I'll destroy Sea God Island!"
On the Sky Ranking List, the rewards remained for a minute before disappearing, and a new ranking slowly emerged.
Countless beings across the Douluo Continent watched with burning eyes.
"Fifth place is here! Who will it be?"
"I hope it isn't another soul beast. Let it be a human."
Bibi Dong, who had been flying toward Spirit City, abruptly stopped and stared intently at the Sky Ranking List. "Who will be fifth?"
Qian Daoliu, Tang San, Yu Xiaogang, Tang Chen, Bo Saixi, and the others also fixed their eyes on the Sky Ranking List.
Under countless gazes, the new ranking fully emerged.
[TOP 5: Bibi Dong] [Introduction: Bibi Dong, quasi-god-level powerhouse, Supreme Pontiff of Spirit Hall, twin martial souls, inheritor of the Rakshasa God] [Martial Soul: Death Spider Emperor, Soul-Eating Spider Emperor] [Spirit Ring: Nine Red Soul Rings; red, red, red, red, red, red, red] [Combat power: 168]
At the sight, every being across the Douluo Continent froze.
They already knew Bibi Dong had reached the Peak of Mortal Beings.
What stunned them was that Bibi Dong was actually the Rakshasa God's inheritor!
"Supreme Pontiff Bibi Dong is actually the Rakshasa God's inheritor!"
"Heavens! I never imagined Supreme Pontiff Bibi Dong was a god's inheritor. She's incredible!"
"No way! Supreme Pontiff Bibi Dong is at the Peak of Mortal Beings, a Quasi-God-level Powerhouse, and she's only fifth?! What kind of monsters are the top four?!"
"Look at Supreme Pontiff Bibi Dong's combat power. A hundred and sixty-eight points, only four more than the sixth-place Deep Sea Demonic Whale King."
"Obviously. Every aspect of the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King had already undergone ninety-nine percent of the transformation to god level. He was definitely a Quasi-God-level Powerhouse too. It's normal for the gap to be small."
"If quasi-god-level combat power is only a hundred and sixty-something, how much would a true Deity have?"
Blue Tyrant Academy.
"She actually ranked fifth?"
Yu Xiaogang frowned at the Sky Ranking List.
“What? Do you think that's too low, or too high?” Liu Erlong's fingers reached toward Yu Xiaogang's waist.
A chill ran down Yu Xiaogang's spine, and he hastily shook his head. “No, I'm just surprised...”
"Hmph!" Liu Erlong folded her arms and snorted.
Tang San and the others looked up at the Sky Ranking List, their faces filled with shock:
“I never imagined Supreme Pontiff Bibi Dong was the Rakshasa God's inheritor.”
“Her Spirit Ring configuration is terrifying. All sixteen Spirit Rings are a hundred thousand years old...”
The Worship Hall.
“Great Enshrined, Bibi Dong's combat power is actually equivalent to 1.68 of you!”
Golden Crocodile Douluo looked utterly stunned. “No wonder we couldn't defeat her back then.”
Qian Daoliu's face darkened.
Since when had I become a unit of measurement?
By the River in Heaven Dou City.
Qian Renxue looked at the Sky Ranking List with complicated emotions in her eyes:
“I never imagined she was the Rakshasa God's inheritor.”
“With Bibi Dong's current strength, she could unify the Douluo Continent all by herself. You don't need to stay undercover in Heaven Dou anymore.”
Long Yichen looked at Qian Renxue. “This nation-stealing plan is completely unnecessary now. Why keep putting yourself through this?”
Qian Renxue fell silent for a moment. “You're right. It's time I ended this. I don't need her approval anymore, either.”
Then she smiled. “Yichen, now that Bibi Dong is the Rakshasa God's inheritor, that Silver Superman Martial Soul wielder you like will probably have an even harder time staying alive. Aren't you worried?”
“Not in the slightest.” Long Yichen shook his head.
"Why?"
“I have faith in Long Aotian.”
"Tch..."
As Bibi Dong stared at the Sky Ranking List, her pupils suddenly contracted, her face filled with shock and disbelief:
"Impossible! I'm only fifth?!"
Her expression turned ugly:
"How could this be? Even excluding the Mysterious Powerhouse who could kill the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King, and Bo Saixi with her God-Level Martial Soul, I should at least be third.
Why am I merely fifth? Are there two more powerhouses I don't know about?"
Bibi Dong couldn't make sense of it, no matter how hard she thought.
She couldn't understand where so many powerhouses on the Douluo Continent had come from.
Before the Sky Ranking List appeared, she had always believed that no one on the Douluo Continent was stronger than her except Qian Daoliu.
But now, she had become a Quasi-God-level Powerhouse, yet there were still four beings stronger than her.
She might as well not have grown stronger at all.
Bibi Dong's expression became hideous. She gritted her teeth in hatred and stared fixedly at the Sky Ranking List:
"I'll see for myself which four are stronger than me!"
The ranking remained on the Sky Ranking List for a minute before disappearing.
Immediately afterward, an image appeared.
Countless beings across the Douluo Continent perked up, staring at the Sky Ranking List with their full attention.
In the image, a magnificent palace stood in the background.
Seven men stood before the palace, and countless beings across the Douluo Continent recognized their leader.
It was none other than Qian Daoliu.
Some powerhouses recognized the six men behind him.
They were Spirit Hall's six great enshrined elders, all extraordinary powerhouses above level 96.
Standing opposite them was a woman with striking beauty and a noble bearing.
It was Bibi Dong.
Under countless gazes, Bibi Dong's arms transformed into sharp, purple-black blades, and she became a blur as she charged at Qian Daoliu and the six others.
