The golden text lingered for a moment.
Then a majestic voice of the Heavenly Dao rang out from the center of the Sky Screen.
[Powerhouse Ranking, tenth place: Bibi Dong.] [Reward distribution begins.]
Across the Douluo Continent, countless Soul Masters raised their heads toward the heavens.
They had already witnessed Bibi Dong's strength and were even more eager to know what rewards this tenth-place contender would receive.
Rewards from the Heavenly Dao were bound to be extraordinary.
Star Dou Great Forest.
Beside the Lake of Life, Di Tian and the Ferocious Beasts also looked up.
Xiong Jun licked his lips.
"My lord, what will these rewards be?"
Gu Yuena did not answer.
She sensed the power within the Sky Screen, her purple eyes growing ever more profound.
That power had already surpassed the Divine Realm.
Even at her peak, she could not have seen through to the source of the Heavenly Dao's ranking.
Gu Yuena looked toward the heavens.
"The rewards won't be ordinary."
Golden light continued to gather on the Sky Screen.
Every Soul Master and Soul Beast on the continent awaited the result.
Within Spirit City, Bibi Dong held her scepter and watched the sky in silence.
She had already exposed all her trump cards.
Now, she could only hope the Heavenly Dao's rewards were powerful enough.
Golden text finally appeared.
[Powerhouse Ranking, tenth place: Bibi Dong.] [Reward one: a Million-Year Soul Ring.]
Boom!
The entire continent abruptly fell silent.
Ning Xian watched the Sky Screen, a more appraising look entering his eyes.
"The Heavenly Dao certainly has a generous hand."
The golden text did not stop.
[Reward two: a divine artifact, the Rakshasa Demon Halberd.]
Black divine light descended from the Sky Screen.
A fearsome halberd pierced through the heavens, its shaft covered in dark-purple markings, its blade wreathed in dense Rakshasa divine power.
The instant the Rakshasa Demon Halberd appeared, ripples spread through the space above Spirit City.
Bibi Dong raised her head.
The black halberd slowly descended before her.
She reached out and grasped its shaft.
Rakshasa divine power surged along her arm into her body, and her previously suppressed Soul Power began to stir.
Bibi Dong's gaze settled on the halberd.
"A divine artifact."
Her fingers brushed lightly over its shaft.
A Million-Year Soul Ring, plus the Rakshasa Demon Halberd.
These rewards had already exceeded her expectations.
Yet the Heavenly Dao's text continued.
[Reward three: a Hundred Thousand Year Godslaying Spider Emperor Left Leg Bone.]
Deep within the Sky Screen, a black-and-purple Soul Bone slowly emerged.
Within the Soul Bone, the phantom of an enormous Spider Emperor spread its eight legs.
The word "Godslaying" met everyone's eyes.
Bibi Dong looked up at the Soul Bone.
The next moment, it transformed into a streak of black-and-purple light and merged into her left leg.
The Rakshasa Demon Halberd, a Million-Year Soul Ring, and a Hundred Thousand Year Godslaying Spider Emperor Left Leg Bone.
All three rewards fell into Bibi Dong's hands.
Beneath the Sky Screen, countless Soul Masters were shaken.
Ning Xian set down his teacup, his white robes swaying gently.
His gaze remained fixed on the heavens.
"A Million-Year Soul Ring, a divine artifact, and a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone."
"These rewards are enough to raise Bibi Dong's strength a notch."
Ning Xian leaned against the palace's upturned eaves, his expression calm throughout.
"I hope the rewards to come won't disappoint me."
On the Sky Screen.
The Million-Year Soul Ring radiated dazzling brilliance.
The Rakshasa Demon Halberd hovered beside Bibi Dong, dark-purple divine runes flowing ceaselessly across it.
The Godslaying Spider Emperor Left Leg Bone had already merged into her body.
Any one of these three rewards would have been enough to drive the entire Soul Master World mad.
Yet now, they had all fallen into one person's hands.
Across the continent, after a brief silence, countless comments blanketed the heavens.
[A Million-Year Soul Ring? Does a Soul Ring like that really exist on the Douluo Continent?] [A Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone is already a priceless treasure, yet the Heavenly Dao even bestowed a divine artifact!] [These are only the rewards for tenth place on the Powerhouse Ranking!] [What will the top nine receive?] [The Heavenly Dao's ranking is terrifying!] [Bibi Dong was already a rank ninety-nine Peerless Douluo. Now that she's received three rewards, who can still stop her?] [Spirit Hall is about to rise beyond all restraint!] [These rewards are enough to change the situation across the entire continent!]
Spirit City.
Black-and-purple divine light had already shrouded the sky above the Papal Palace.
Bibi Dong stood atop the long staircase, holding the Rakshasa Demon Halberd in her right hand.
The Million-Year Soul Ring hovered behind her.
A layer of brilliant golden radiance shone through its deep crimson.
As the Soul Ring rotated, the surrounding space continually warped.
Bibi Dong raised her left leg.
The Godslaying Spider Emperor Left Leg Bone had already fused completely with her.
Vast Soul Power circulated through her meridians.
Her cultivation, previously suppressed by the Rakshasa God Trial, also rapidly stabilized under the effects of the three rewards.
She gazed at the Million-Year Soul Ring behind her, not looking away for a long time.
A Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring was already something every Titled Douluo dreamed of obtaining.
To obtain a suitable Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring, one not only had to find a hundred-thousand-year Soul Beast, but also gather numerous powerful fighters to surround and kill it together.
Even Spirit Hall had to make meticulous plans beforehand.
Whether they would ultimately succeed remained uncertain.
Now, the Heavenly Dao had directly bestowed a Million-Year Soul Ring.
Not only was this Soul Ring perfectly compatible with her Martial Souls, but the power it contained far surpassed that of a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring.
Bibi Dong had initially been dissatisfied with tenth place.
With her talent and strength, she naturally could not easily accept being ranked at the very bottom of the list.
Yet after seeing the rewards, those misgivings had vanished completely.
"So what if I'm tenth?"
"As long as the rewards are sufficient, the ranking doesn't matter."
Bibi Dong extended her left hand.
The Million-Year Soul Ring rapidly shrank and settled above her palm.
The power radiating from the Soul Ring alone made both Spider Emperor Martial Souls within her react at once.
If she absorbed it, her strength would surely rise again.
Inside the Worship Hall.
The assembled enshrined watched the divine light enveloping Spirit City, the shock lingering on their faces for a long time.
Demon Subduing Douluo was the first to stand.
"A Million-Year Soul Ring, and the Rakshasa God's divine artifact!"
"With these rewards, the Supreme Pontiff's strength has probably already surpassed that of an ordinary Peerless Douluo."
Qian Jun Douluo nodded.
"She already had the qualifications to become a god."
"With the Heavenly Dao's rewards, her chances of passing the Rakshasa God Trial will be even greater."
The other enshrined all turned toward Qian Daoliu.
The relationship between Bibi Dong and the Worship Hall was not harmonious.
Yet she was, after all, the Supreme Pontiff of Spirit Hall.
As long as Bibi Dong could become a god, the whole of Spirit Hall would reap enormous benefits.
Golden Crocodile Douluo stood in the center of the hall, a flash of delight crossing his eyes.
"Spirit Hall has the Great Enshrined, as well as the Supreme Pontiff presiding over it."
"Now that the Supreme Pontiff has also received a divine artifact and a Million-Year Soul Ring, what power under heaven can still contend with Spirit Hall?"
One enshrined could not help saying:
"Her Holiness has the makings of a god!"
"Once she completes her divine trial, Spirit Hall will welcome a true deity!"
The atmosphere within the hall immediately grew lively.
Qian Daoliu did not join their discussion.
His gaze passed beyond the Worship Hall and settled on that black-and-purple divine light.
"A Million-Year Soul Ring."
"The Heavenly Dao's power has indeed surpassed the rules of the Divine Realm."
The imperial palace of the Heaven Dou Empire.
Emperor Xue Ye sat on his throne, his expression exceptionally grave.
The assembled ministers in the hall were likewise silent.
A Million-Year Soul Ring, a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone, and a divine artifact.
They had never even heard of such things before.
Yet now, all of them had fallen into Bibi Dong's hands.
