The Continent Ranking Is Finalized! Taking Stock of the Douluo Plane's Ten Greatest Powers! A New Ranking Appears on the Sky Screen! Hope Stirs Again in Douluo (1 / 2)

Whoosh—

All was silent on Douluo Star. Only the biting astral winds moaned between the shattered clouds.

The world-annihilating spectacle remained vivid in everyone's minds, like a divine mountain weighing billions upon billions of tons, crushing down on the entire plane.

No one dared speak.

No one even dared post a barrage comment at a time like this.

That despair of being plowed over eight hundred times had not only destroyed the Soul Masters' fantasies of being mighty,

but had also trampled the "Martial Soul worship" they had taken pride in for thousands of years into the mud and ground it into pulp.

Just as this maddening deathly silence was about to crush the entire Douluo Continent's Dao Heart into dust—

Clang!

A bell peal, clear as an immortal chime in the nine heavens and sonorous as the Great Dao's toll at the universe's birth, thundered without warning in the ears of every living being!

[Continental Comprehensive Strength Ranking—ranking calculations fully completed. Results sealed across all realms!]

[All five ranked continents have been announced, and all rewards have been distributed! Every continent's overall foundation has improved!]

[Final Continental Comprehensive Strength Ranking:]

[First place: Longcang Continent (Overall assessment: Civilization Ceiling, Supreme Holy Land)]

[Second place: Sun Moon Continent (Overall assessment: thriving Soul Guidance Industry, abundant earth veins)]

[Third place: Douluo Continent (Overall assessment: ancient inheritance, rigid and backward system)]

[Fourth place: Star Luo Continent (Overall assessment: wilderness newly opened, brimming with vitality)]

[Fifth place: Heaven Dou Continent (Overall assessment: rampant beasts, primitive and lawless)]

[All Heavenly Dao Blessings for the respective continents have been distributed in full. The plane's destiny has been settled!]

[The ranking is finalized! All is settled! The sky-screen livestream is available at any time! All living beings may speak freely! A new ranking will soon be announced!]

As they stared at those dazzling rankings, their strokes like iron and silver hooks, the leaders of the Douluo Continent's great powers all felt bitterness creep over their lips.

The dust had settled.

No matter what excuses they had previously made to console themselves, the sky screen's judgment could not be reversed.

The Douluo Continent's third-place ranking was now an established fact.

Many people slumped to the ground, secretly relieved that this terrifying sky-screen judgment had finally passed. They would no longer have to endure that dimension-crushing torture of the mind.

Yet—

The sky screen did not disappear. Instead, it unleashed a roar of Laws ten times more magnificent than before!

Rumble—!

The heavens, which had just calmed, suddenly churned. Purple-gold Divine Radiance gathered once more, blotting out the sky and sun. Yet at the heart of that divine light, there were no longer the ancient, boundless landscapes of mountains and rivers that had marked the Continent Ranking!

Instead, it manifested Myriad Manifestations of blood-and-iron banners, sky-rending divine weapons, towering Divine Temples, and majestic avatars that looked down upon the eight wildernesses!

Above the nine heavens, the great river of the Great Dao surged violently. That cold, merciless sacred voice descended once more, carrying a savage fighting spirit that pierced all the heavens and myriad realms:

[The heavens and earth of the Douluo Plane have undergone a tremendous upheaval, and the realms now border one another. In this age of great contention, only those who wield both might and fortune can seize the reins!]

[By special exception, the Heavenly Dao initiates the second round of the plane-wide assessment—]

[Douluo Plane · Top Ten Supreme Power Ranking!]

Boom—!

Every word struck like thunder, becoming ten crimson-gold divine pillars that spanned heaven and earth. They crashed down from the depths of the firmament, then hovered above the five continental masses and the vast oceans between them!

Each divine pillar was wreathed in phantoms of the sun, moon, and stars, along with hymns to the gods, radiating supreme fortune that tempted the very soul!

[Ranking rules clarified:]

[This assessment will no longer use vast territory or total population as its judging criteria!

Only each power's 'Peak Absolute Combat Power,' 'actual sphere of influence,' 'Core Inheritance Foundation,' and 'Level of Civilization Development' will be weighed together!

The rewards and blessings of this round will no longer be bestowed upon every living being across the continents. They will be channeled in full exclusively into the ranked 'top ten supreme powers'!]

[Ranking limit: ten places only!]

[Every ranked power will receive an exclusively customized 'Divine-Level Reward' from the Heavenly Dao!

Including but not limited to: breakthroughs in cultivation, Martial Soul Evolution, god-bestowed Soul Rings, divine trial inheritance slots,

Super Divine Artifact Embryos, Origin Divine Objects, God-Bestowed Martial Souls, Soul Guidance Technology, planar fortune...]

[Special notice: this round's rewards are absolutely unique and cannot be stripped away. They belong exclusively to each power's core leaders and those loyal to that power (no limit on numbers; all will benefit).]

[The course of the entire plane lies within this ranking!]

At that moment, it was as though a fresh madness had been injected into the motionless world! The new ranking once again sent the entire plane into a frenzy!

The deathly silent world was utterly ignited in that instant!

"Su... Supreme Power Ranking?!"

"No more judging by civilian population or continental area? Only top-level combat power and inherited foundations?!"

The entire continent, which had just been immersed in the shadow of nuclear weapons, instantly erupted with greed and ambition ten times more violent than before!

They had witnessed the very real descent of Heavenly Dao Nectar and blessings from the previous Continent Ranking with their own eyes!

No one dared harbor even the slightest doubt about the authenticity of the sky screen's rewards anymore!

And after being stifled for so long by the Continent Ranking's final results and witnessing world-annihilating might firsthand,

every living being in the entire plane became more unrestrained than before, more desperate for new rewards and a new lease on life.

And... now, the rules had changed! It seemed there was still a chance for everything!

Spirit City, before the Worship Hall.

Qian Daoliu, who had collapsed in a pool of blood, abruptly raised his head. His aged, deathly pale face instantly flushed the color of pig liver as blood rushed to it!

He shakily extended his withered hand and wiped the blood from his beard. Terrifying fervor and obsession blazed anew in his cloudy golden eyes!

"It isn't calculated by an entire continent... but by individual 'Orthodox Lineage Powers'?!"

Qian Daoliu clenched his fists until his knuckles cracked, roaring hoarsely in a near loss of composure:

"Heaven has not forsaken our Spirit Hall! Heaven has not forsaken our Qian Family!"

The gloom that had filled Qian Daoliu's eyes after the shock of the nuclear weapons Simulation was swept away in an instant!

"Hahaha... the Heavenly Dao is perfectly just!"

Qian Daoliu threw his head back and let out a deep, resounding laugh. His spirits blazed anew, and he regained the commanding presence of the continent's foremost man:

"That Longcang Continent relied on clever tricks and contraptions to make some Ironclad Airships and amass vast territory. They merely got lucky and edged us out on the continent-wide ranking!"

"But the sky screen itself said it! The struggle between powers is a contest of Divine Foundation, a contest of Peak Lethality!"

Beside him, the Second Worship, Golden Crocodile Douluo, jolted and scrambled up from the ground, his face wild with delight:

"Yes! Eldest Brother! The sky screen made it perfectly clear! No matter how strong the Longcang Continent is, it's only because they have more land, more people, and rich mineral veins!

They only managed that frightening display by pooling tens of thousands of years of stockpiles!"

"But what determines a power's true foundation? Gods! The bloodline and orthodox lineage of the Angel God!"

Qian Daoliu drew a deep breath of blood-scented air. His previously shattered Dao Heart,

in the face of those words, "exclusive Divine-Level Rewards," actually began to heal and piece itself together frantically, even swelling with an unprecedented sense of grandeur!

"Indeed... I nearly became blinded by appearances just now!"

Qian Daoliu abruptly planted the Angel Holy Sword in his hand. Golden flames reignited as he swept a proud gaze over the Six Worshipers behind him:

"Our lady, the Angel God, is a Primordial High God! I stand guard with my level ninety-nine Demigod body, and our seven worshipers are united in heart and purpose!"

"No matter how abundant mortal iron implements may be, they are still merely mortal tools! On this Supreme Power Ranking...

without the protection of a true god, what could they possibly use to challenge the Worship Hall for the top three?!"

"No matter how powerful those fission iron spheres are, what do they amount to before a deity?

As long as our Spirit Hall takes first place on this Supreme Power Ranking and receives a Super Divine Artifact and a Divine Realm Seal from the Heavenly Dao,

Xue'er will instantly be able to inherit the position of Angel High God perfectly!"

"When that time comes, a High God will descend upon the mortal world, and a Divine Realm Hunter will come down from the Divine Realm. Even if mortals possess ten million firearms, they will turn to ash before divine punishment!"

It was not only the Worship Hall.

Inside the Papal Hall, Bibi Dong gripped her Scepter tightly, her nails almost crushing its gemstone.

Her narrow phoenix eyes were fixed on the sky screen, her chest heaving as she breathed rapidly:

"Exclusively customized rewards... divine inheritance? The fortune of heaven and earth?!"

"The ranking disregards territory and considers only core combat power and orthodox inheritance?!"

Bibi Dong's chest rose and fell violently, and an extraordinarily fierce, cold smile curled uncontrollably at the corners of her lips:

"Good! What a splendid Supreme Power Ranking!"

"In that Continent Ranking just now, it was those worthless civilians of Heaven Dou and the Star Luo Empire, who aren't even Soul Masters, who dragged our Douluo Continent's assessment down!"

"But if we're speaking solely of 'powers'..."

Bibi Dong glanced around at the two Douluo, Chrysanthemum and Ghost, standing below with their hands lowered. Her voice carried the absolute confidence of a sovereign ruling all beneath heaven:

"I possess Twin Top-Tier Martial Souls and bear the Rakshasa God Trial! I am already a top-level powerhouse in my own right!

Add to that the seven worshipers in the Worship Hall, every one of them a Super Douluo, with even a Limit Douluo standing guard!

I command two hundred thousand Elite Soul Masters under our Spirit Hall, dozens of Titled Douluo, and the authority to mobilize more than half the Soul Master organizations in the world!

In terms of organization and centralized power, who under heaven can surpass my Papal Hall?!"

"This ranking... is a staircase tailor-made for my ascension to godhood!"

"Across the entire plane, who dares claim that a single sect or power can surpass our Spirit Hall in pure combat strength?!"
