Douluo's People Refused to Accept It! The Divine Realm Was Alarmed! Second Place, the Sun Moon Continent, Revealed! (1 / 2)

Clatter!

The cane in Ning Fengzhi's hand fell straight to the ground. The sect master of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, renowned for his composure, now stood with his mouth wide open and his eyes filled with shock.

Beside him, Sword Douluo Chen Xin and Bone Douluo Gu Rong also sucked in cold breaths. They exchanged looks, each seeing the horror in the other's eyes.

"Third place..."

Ning Fengzhi murmured, his face as white as paper. "How could this happen... our Douluo Continent couldn't even make the top two?"

"Outrageous! This is absolutely impossible!"

Spirit City, outside the Pope's Hall!

Bibi Dong's noble, elegant face twisted in an instant!

She slammed the Pope's Scepter into the ground. With a thunderous crash, spiderweb cracks spread across the white jade steps!

Her exquisite phoenix eyes brimmed with disbelief and savage fury at being publicly slapped in the face!

"Third place?! My Douluo Continent only ranked a mere third?!"

Bibi Dong panted, her chest heaving violently, her voice laced with icy killing intent:

"What do you mean, 'extremely backward soul guidance technology'? What do you mean, 'never developed new methods'? What do you mean, 'trapped in its old ways'?!"

"Under my rule, Spirit Hall has a Level 99 Limit Douluo, multiple Super Douluos, and dozens of Titled Douluos! An army of a million Soul Masters stands ready to trample the world flat!"

"With such strength, in the Heavenly Dao's eyes... we only deserve third place?!"

Bibi Dong felt her cheeks burn!

Only moments ago, she had been imagining sweeping aside the empires, establishing the Spirit Hall Empire, and claiming the Heavenly Dao's first-place reward to become a god in one stroke...

Instead, the heavenly screen had delivered a resounding slap to her face before the entire plane!

How was this publishing a ranking? It was publicly humiliating the people of Douluo, who fancied themselves the "center of the world"!

In a side room at the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's residence.

Yu Xiaogang slumped limply into his chair, staring blankly at the assessment on the heavenly screen:

"Backward soul guidance technology? Wh-what is this heavenly screen even talking about?!"

"I, Yu Xiaogang, have studied martial soul theory for decades and read the records of every major sect. The Douluo Continent is clearly the sole center of this world!"

"What soul guidance technology? That's nothing but an exaggerated legend in ancient texts! The Heavenly Dao Will... how can the Heavenly Dao Will be so biased?!"

On Sea God Island, Tang San also froze where he stood, cold sweat beading thickly across his palms.

He had always believed the Douluo Continent encompassed the entire world, but the heavenly screen was like a massive hammer, ruthlessly shattering the worldview he had built over more than a decade!

"Could there really be continental civilizations several times more advanced than our Douluo Continent... deep within the oceans we have never reached?!"

"Third place... then just how terrifying are the first and second places... ranked ahead of us?!"

High above the heavens, the golden words shone brilliantly, yet they struck like a heavy hammer against the hearts of the countless Soul Masters across the Douluo Continent.

"Third place? Impossible! Absolutely impossible!"

They refused to accept it!

From Titled Douluos down to ordinary mortals, everyone on the Douluo Continent carried the pride of being the "center of the world" in their very bones.

Now the heavenly screen had torn away their disguise and publicly branded them "trapped in their old ways, backward and rigid." How could the great powers, so accustomed to standing above everyone else, possibly accept that?!

Unlike the fear and fury sweeping the Douluo Continent, the Longcang Continent far out in the ocean was filled with laughter and cheer, as though everyone were celebrating the New Year.

Inside the Purple-Gold Hall in the Longcang Imperial Capital.

"Pfft... hahahahahaha!"

Crocodile King finally lost control. Clutching his belly, he doubled over with laughter in the hall, tears streaming from his eyes:

"I can't take it! I'm laughing myself to death!"

"Those natives on the Douluo Continent were all holding their heads high just now, thinking they were the stars of this world!"

"Then the heavenly screen slapped them with 'third place'! It even stripped off their underwear while it was at it! Backward soul tools... hahaha! I'm dying here!"

Deep Sea Demonic Whale King also folded his arms and sneered, his lone eye full of mockery:

"A bunch of barbarians who have never even seen a combat soul tool dare claim their land abounds in treasures blessed by heaven? If they saw our Longcang Empire's thirteen Soul Tool Legions, they'd probably drop to their knees and call us gods!"

On the right side of the hall, the Great Sage shook his head and smiled. "Still, this heavenly screen is fairly objective."

"Although the Douluo Continent has few top-tier fighters, it is an original ancient continent, after all, with a foundation of divine inheritances. Third place is deserved."

"It's just... they probably never imagined that beyond themselves and those two barren islands, there were actually other experts on this Douluo Plane, did they?"

On the dragon throne.

Ye Canghai leaned against the backrest, watching Bibi Dong's exquisite face turn livid with rage in the heavenly screen's projection. The corners of his mouth couldn't help lifting.

"Tsk, tsk. Poor Bibi Dong. Those slaps to her face are ringing loud and clear."

Ye Canghai took a sip of tea and shook his head in amusement:

"Still... this damned heavenly screen is rather interesting."

"It dragged the details of all five continents on the Douluo Plane straight into the open."

Ye Canghai narrowed his eyes slightly, his gaze piercing the void toward the distant seas:

"Douluo ranks third, so second place... naturally belongs to the 'Sun Moon Continent,' which hasn't drifted over yet."

"As for first place..."

Ye Canghai rubbed his chin. "I've spent tens of thousands of years disguising myself as a continent. I've even built an empire on my back... it probably classified me as a real continent."

Rumble—!

As though answering Ye Canghai's thoughts, the heavenly screen high above erupted once more with a mighty voice of the Great Dao that shook the universe!

An even vaster, more terrifying pressure instantly enveloped the entire Douluo Plane!

[Continental Comprehensive Strength Ranking of the continents in the Douluo Plane—second place!]

[To be announced shortly!]

Boom!

Just as emotions boiled across the continent and resentment surged into the skies!

The void high above suddenly twisted violently, and a supreme divine might beyond the mortal realm descended!

It was power from the Divine Realm!

Inside the Hall of Law Enforcement in the Divine Realm.

Several towering divine figures stood solemnly, supreme divine power swirling around them, capable of destroying heaven and earth and reshaping the laws.

Their leader wore heavy blood-red armor and held a massive crimson sword radiating an endless aura of slaughter—none other than the Asura God, one of the Divine Realm's three Gods of Law Enforcement!

Beside him stood the grave-faced God of Destruction, Sea God, and other great figures of the Divine Realm.

"A Heavenly Dao ranking? Hmph! I have ruled the Divine Realm for tens of thousands of years. When have I ever heard of this inexplicable Heavenly Dao Will?!"

Scarlet light erupted from the Asura God's eyes, his killing intent soaring into the heavens:

"A mere lower plane has produced a power beyond the Divine Realm's control... I shall pierce this heavenly screen with one strike and see just who is playing god!"

Before his words had faded, the Asura God fiercely swung the Asura Demon Sword!

Rumble—!

A blood-red sword beam spanning the sea of stars tore through the barrier between the Divine Realm and the lower realm. Bearing the world-destroying divine power of law enforcement, it slammed toward the center of the heavenly screen!

That strike could instantly kill dozens of Limit Douluos, or even slash a small planet into dust!

Yet—

The instant that world-annihilating sword beam struck the purple-gold heavenly screen, a miracle occurred.

There was no earth-shattering explosion, nor any collapse of space.

The incomparably savage Asura divine power struck the heavenly screen like a drop of water merging into a boundless ocean. Without stirring even the slightest ripple, it silently vanished without a trace!

"What?!"

The Asura God's expression changed drastically. His body jolted, and he staggered back three steps!

The God of Destruction sucked in a cold breath, his eyes filled with incredulous horror. "H-how is this possible?! The Asura Demon Sword's divine power... was completely erased?!"

The heavenly screen did not even bother to glance at the gods of the Divine Realm. It simply continued radiating its vast divine brilliance, as though the Divine Realm were no more than a speck of dust in its eyes.

"We must not act rashly..." Sea God drew a deep breath, cold sweat seeping into his palms. "The power of this heavenly screen has already transcended the Divine Realm's laws... what it reveals may well be true!"

For a time, the entire Divine Realm sank into unprecedented deathly silence and panic!

Meanwhile, the mortals of the lower realm had no idea that the Divine Realm's supreme god had just briefly clashed with the heavenly screen.

Amid the furious cries of countless Soul Masters shouting that they refused to accept it, the purple-gold radiance in the sky burst apart with a thunderous roar!

The mighty voice of the Great Dao once again resounded through heaven and earth:

[Continental Comprehensive Strength Ranking of the continents in the Douluo Plane—second place!]

[Ranked name: Sun Moon Continent!]

[Continental overview: Located in the western seas of Douluo Star, with vast territory and extremely abundant mineral resources.
