Douluo Continent: I had just reached my limit when the sky exposed me.

Chapter 137 Tang Chen Makes the List, Starting the Challenge!
The hall was deathly silent.

It didn't last long.

Qian Daoliu slowly loosened his clenched fist, and the turbulent waves in his golden eyes gradually subsided.

Instead, there is a calm and sharpness that has been accumulated over a century.

He felt the angelic power, which had become increasingly solid and powerful due to the reward from the heavens.

That deeper understanding of the power of "holiness" and "light" gave him a completely new awareness of his own strength.

"Sixteenth place...?"

Qian Daoliu muttered to himself, his tone no longer showing any defeat, but rather a hint of understanding.

"This ranking probably judges my combat strength before I received the reward."

"Now, with the reward from the previous Heavenly Curtain, my control over the angelic power has increased by 30%, and with the foundation of my soul power being several times stronger, my strength is now completely different from before."

He turned to look at the serious-looking Golden Crocodile Douluo and the others beside him, his gaze carrying an undeniable air of authority.

"There is no need to panic. Although the soul beast race has a deep foundation, the potential of a human Limit Douluo is by no means static."

"This power ranking is nothing more than a reflection of the past."

Upon hearing this, Golden Crocodile Douluo and the others...

The unease in my heart subsided slightly.

They recalled the Heavenly Curtain reward that the Grand Elder had previously received, a heaven-defying gift that could elevate the strength of a Limit Douluo to another level, and a glimmer of hope ignited in their hearts.

Qianjun Douluo cupped his hands and said, "What the Grand Elder said is absolutely right. With you here, the divine might of my Hall of Worship will never be easily shaken!"

Qian Daoliu nodded slightly, his gaze returning to the sky, a hint of eager fighting spirit flashing in his eyes.

"Having not fought with all our might for decades, our bones and muscles are already rusty."

"This endless arena is perfect for me to get some exercise and let the rest of the continent see just how powerful the Angelic Power of my Spirit Hall really is!"

Just then, the crimson light in the sky suddenly condensed.

A vast and majestic voice resounded throughout the heavens and earth.

[Zhuang Zhou, Qian Daoliu has made it onto the list at number sixteen. Will you choose to open the Endless Arena and challenge for a higher ranking?]

Beidou Academy.

Zhuang Zhou had just curled up on the illusory image of the Kun fish when he heard this voice. He simply waved his hand lazily without even opening his eyes.

Although the consumption of the dream realm was not great, it was still more worthwhile for him than fighting with others in the arena.

It would be more pleasant to cultivate oneself by roaming in a dream.

"Boring."

Two words floated out lightly, as the illusory image of the Kun fish faded away.

Zhuang Zhou's aura completely subsided, seemingly falling into a deep slumber once again.

"Sigh, Master Zhuang Zhou is still so carefree."

Li Bai shook his head, took a sip of wine, and a hint of admiration flashed in his eyes.

"But that makes sense. Given his personality, he's really too lazy to make a move unless he encounters a truly interesting opponent."

Lu Xiao looked at the sky, a faint smile playing on his lips.

He understood Zhuang Zhou's temperament too well!

If the creature ahead of him were a spirit beast, he might even spar with it out of curiosity.

However, Zhuang Zhou clearly had little interest in a human Douluo like Qian Daoliu, who represented the pinnacle of human power.

"That's good. Let him rest well. There will be even more exciting developments in the subsequent rankings."

Upon hearing Zhuang Zhou's refusal, various factions on the mainland expressed their regret.

They also wanted to witness firsthand the unpredictable Dream Realm once again displaying its divine power.

Let's see if Qian Daoliu, this representative of angels and deities, can break through Zhuang Zhou's dream power.

Unexpectedly, Zhuang Zhou refused outright.

"What a pity! I wanted to see who was more powerful, Qian Daoliu or Zhuang Zhou!"

"Zhuang Zhou's strength is too unpredictable."

"The people from Beidou Academy are indeed all unique!"

Enshrined in the temple.

Qian Daoliu felt inexplicably relieved when he heard Zhuang Zhou's refusal.

He had witnessed Zhuang Zhou's battle with the Demon King clearly.

That ability to control dreams and erode one's very essence!
It made even this Limit Douluo feel a chill run down his spine.

He was confident that he could deal with attacks from all kinds of forces, but he had no confidence in this strange ability that involved the soul.

Zhuang Zhou's refusal to accept the challenge saved him from a trouble he had no chance of winning.

"In that case, let's see who the next person on the list is."

Qian Daoliu thought to himself.

His gaze grew increasingly intense as he stared at the sky.

"Boom boom boom!"

The crimson light in the sky surged once more.

This time, the light was thicker and more violent than before, as if it contained a world-destroying power.

The hearts of countless Soul Masters instantly leaped into their throats.

To rank ahead of Qian Daoliu, one's strength must be even more terrifying!

"Tang Chen! It's Tang Chen from the Haotian Sect!"

"The three Limit Douluo from decades ago have finally reunited on the list. Tang Chen is fifteenth, Qian Daoliu is sixteenth, so wouldn't Poseidon be ranked even higher?"

"This is going to be interesting. Tang Chen and Qian Daoliu are old rivals. I wonder if they will start the Endless Arena Challenge!"

Tang Chen is on the list.

This has once again caused a huge uproar on the mainland!

The three Limit Douluo were considered the pinnacle of the continent decades ago. Now, they have all appeared on the power rankings, and their rankings are closely linked.

This has everyone eagerly anticipating it.

Many speculated whether the two would engage in a fateful duel spanning decades.

On Poseidon Island.

Tang Chen looked at his ranking and rewards on the screen and sighed slowly.

As early as when Qian Daoliu was on the list, he had anticipated that he would soon appear on the list himself.

I just didn't expect to be ranked fifteenth.

Tang Chen gripped the Haotian Hammer tightly in his hand, and a blood-red Asura pattern flashed across the hammer's surface.

"Qian Daoliu, it's been decades. It's time to settle our score."

Just as Tang Chen was experiencing a surge of emotions, the crimson light in the sky gathered once more.

That vast voice once again resounded throughout the heavens and earth.

[Qian Daoliu, Tang Chen, ranked fifteenth, has made the list. Will you choose to open the Endless Arena and challenge for a higher ranking?]

Enshrined in the temple.

Upon hearing this voice, Qian Daoliu's golden eyes instantly erupted with an unprecedentedly intense fighting spirit!
For decades, he and Tang Chen had been fighting each other their entire lives.

From youth to old age, from peak to maturity.

The game remained undecided.

Now, having received the Sky Curtain reward, his strength has skyrocketed.

Tang Chen also received an incredible gift, which is a perfect opportunity to settle things once and for all!

"challenge!"

Qian Daoliu did not hesitate at all, his voice booming like thunder.

Through the sky, the message spread throughout the entire Douluo Continent.

"Tang Chen, let's settle this decades-long feud here today!"

"I'd like to see whether your Clear Sky Hammer is harder or my angelic power is stronger!"

Above the sky.

A crimson light flashed, seemingly in response to Qian Daoliu's challenge.

at the same time!

Upon hearing Qian Daoliu's response, Tang Chen's eyes blazed with fury.

A powerful fighting spirit soared into the sky.

"Good! Qian Daoliu, I've waited for this day for far too long!"

"Today's battle will surely determine a life-or-death victory!"

"boom!"

Two crimson beams of light shot down from the sky, one landing on the Martial Soul Hall's ancestral hall and enveloping Qian Daoliu.

Another beam fell on Poseidon Island and Poseidon Mountain, enveloping Tang Chen.

The light flashes.

The two figures vanished from the spot in an instant.

When they reappeared, they were already in a vast, boundless crimson space.

This is the exclusive battlefield of the Endless Arena!

This battlefield was vast and boundless, with a dark red sky and cracked, blood-red rocks on the ground.

The air was thick with a murderous aura, as if it could ignite the fighting desire deep within people's hearts.

All living beings in the Douluo Continent.

Whether human soul masters or soul beasts, they all stopped what they were doing and stared intently at the sky.

They knew it was an extreme showdown that would be recorded in the annals of the continent.

The curtain is about to rise!

"It's Tang Chen and Qian Daoliu! The fateful battle between two Limit Douluos!"

"After decades, we can finally see them face off again! I'm so excited!"

"I bet Tang Chen will win! Once the Clear Sky Hammer explodes its rings, who can stop it?"

"I favor Qian Daoliu! His angelic divine power and holy purification are effective against Tang Chen, giving him a greater chance of victory!"

Inside the Papal Palace.

Bibi Dong stood by the window, gazing at the blood-red battlefield against the sky, her eyes flashing with complex emotions.

A cold smile curled at the corner of her lips as she secretly plotted: "Qian Daoliu, Tang Chen, you two had better both be severely injured, so that I can reap the benefits."

Beidou Academy.

Lu Xiao also looked at the sky with great interest.

Both Qian Daoliu and Tang Chen received the Sky Curtain Reward, and their strength has made a qualitative leap.

The outcome of this battle is truly difficult to predict.

"With two Limit Douluo and the added bonus of incredible rewards, this battle is sure to be absolutely spectacular."

……

On the blood-red battlefield.

Qian Daoliu and Tang Chen faced each other from a distance.

Behind Qian Daoliu, the phantom of a six-winged angel unfolded, its golden wings radiating a holy light, and its body was surrounded by rich angelic power.

Holding an angelic holy sword formed from the power of light, he appeared like a god descended to earth.

Tang Chen held the Haotian Hammer, its body as black as ink.

It is engraved with intricate Asura patterns, with a faint flow of blood-red light.

"Qian Daoliu, it's been decades since we last met. Your angelic powers have improved considerably."

Tang Chen spoke first, his voice booming like a bell, carrying an aura of dominance over the world.

"Tang Chen, you're not bad either."

Qian Daoliu responded calmly, his golden gaze sharp as a knife.

"You've fused with the power of the Asura God, and your physical body is comparable to that of a demigod. It seems you haven't been idle these past few decades."

"It's no use talking more."

"Today's battle will determine only victory or defeat, not life or death!"

Tang Chen raised the Clear Sky Hammer, and soul power surged on its body.
