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

Chapter 143 Sikong Zhen Breaks Through, Sky Curtain Changes
Inside the Beidou Academy.

Sikong Zhen's cross-legged figure was completely enveloped by the raging thunder.

Silver-purple electric snakes danced wildly, emitting a crackling and ear-piercing sound, distorting and deforming the surrounding space.

An aura far more terrifying than level ninety-eight was rising steadily, as if a slumbering ancient thunder beast was awakening.

"Is Teacher Sikong Zhen about to break through?"

Dugu Yan watched from afar, her voice filled with utter shock.

Li Bai held the wine jug, a glint of light flashing in his eyes: "It seems that watching the battle between two peak ocean experts has allowed him to touch that barrier."

Lu Xiao stood with his hands behind his back and nodded slightly: "He was just one step away from success. Poseidon's 'momentum' in controlling the ocean and the Demon Emperor's 'intention' to destroy everything gave him the final inspiration."

Just as Sikong Zhen's lightning power reached its peak.

Just as we were about to break through that invisible barrier!

Above the sky, crimson light surged violently.

The name of the eleventh place winner began to slowly emerge.

A clear "司" character has just appeared.

The next moment, something unexpected happened!

"Buzz!"

The sky seemed to be disturbed by an invisible force, and the blood-red light flickered erratically.

The character "司" that had just appeared was erased as if it had been wiped away by an eraser.

It fades and disappears quickly.

Soul Masters across the entire continent were stunned.

"What happened? Why did the name disappear?"

"I think I just saw the character '司'?"

"Is that Sikong Zhen from Beidou Academy? Why has his name disappeared?"

After a brief period of chaos.

The blood-red light in the sky stabilized again, and the new ranking information took shape:
[Power Ranking, 11th]

[Name: Bibi Dong]

[Affiliation: Spirit Hall]

[Body Type: Human]

[Soul Power Level: 99]

[Martial Soul: Death Spider Emperor, Soul-Devouring Spider Emperor]

[Soul Ring Configuration]

[Death Spider Queen: Black, Black, Black, Black, Black, Black, Black, Red, Red]

【Soul-Devouring Spider Queen: Black, Black, Black, Black, Black, Red, Red, Red, Red】

[Combat Strength Assessment: Pope of the Spirit Hall, inheritor of the Rakshasa God. Both of his twin martial souls are equipped with top-tier spirit rings, possessing extremely strong death and mental attack capabilities. He gained partial divinity during the Rakshasa God trial, allowing him to manipulate evil divine power. His combat strength is among the top tier of Limit Douluo. Overall, his attacks are unpredictable and difficult to defend against, especially adept at mental erosion and death domains, posing a significant threat under certain circumstances.]

[Rewards: Soul Power tripled, all Soul Rings increased in age by 9,000 years, Rakshasa God affinity increased by 20%, and initial mastery of the divine skill 'Heart of Rakshasa' gained. (Rewards to be distributed)]

Bibi Dong's message sent shockwaves through the mainland once again.

"Twin martial souls! Both are top-tier configurations!"

"After receiving the Heavenly Curtain reward, Bibi Dong's spirit rings have become incredibly powerful!"

"No wonder she was able to reach such a level in such a short time!"

But beyond the shock, many people still have lingering questions.

What happened to the character "司" that just disappeared?

Inside the Papal Palace.

Bibi Dong sat on her throne, looking at her ranking on the sky.

There was no joy in his eyes!

Instead, it carried a deep sense of solemnity.

"Eleventh place?"

Her slender fingers tapped lightly on the armrest. "Not even made it into the top ten."

What bothered her even more was the name that had disappeared.

Based on her judgment, the character "司" most likely refers to Sikong Zhen.

But why did the name disappear?

"Moon Gate, Ghostly Appearance, what do you think?"

Bibi Dong's voice was icy cold.

Chrysanthemum Douluo bowed and said, "Your Holiness, according to the intelligence we have, Sikong Zhen's soul power has indeed reached the peak of level ninety-eight after receiving multiple Sky Curtain rewards."

"With the superior combat power of the Beidou Academy's experts, which is comparable to that of ordinary Limit Douluo, it is reasonable for them to be on the list."

Ghost Douluo continued, "But there are only two possibilities for a name to suddenly disappear."

"Either he falls the moment the rankings are updated, or..."

"Either his strength underwent a qualitative change at that moment, causing Sky Curtain to need to be reassessed."

Bibi Dong finished the sentence with a sharp glint in her eyes.

"The possibility of it falling is extremely slim, so there's only one explanation."

Just then, a terrifying surge of lightning erupted.

The sound came from the distant direction of Beidou Academy.

Although separated by thousands of miles, the unique aura that broke through the Douluo barrier was still there.

It was still clearly perceived by the top experts on the mainland.

"really."

"He broke through."

Bibi Dong stood up, walked to the window, and looked in the direction of Beidou Academy.

Enshrined in the temple.

Qian Daoliu slowly opened his eyes, a hint of surprise flashing in his golden eyes: "Level 99. Sikong Zhen has broken through."

Golden Crocodile Douluo's expression turned solemn: "Grand Elder, this means..."

"This means that the Sky Screen's combat power ranking is updated in real time."

"At the moment the rankings were updated, Sikong Zhen broke through to level 99, which required Tianmu to reassess his combat strength, so the original ranking was temporarily withdrawn," Qian Daoliu said in a deep voice.

Azure Phoenix Douluo gasped, "Real-time refresh? That Canopy's power is simply too terrifying!"

"What's even more frightening is that Sikong Zhen, after breaking through level 99, is likely to be ranked more than eleventh."

Qian Daoliu's gaze was deep.

“Bibi Dong’s twin martial soul configuration is perfect, and she is also blessed by the Rakshasa God Test. Even so, she is only eleventh.”

"Sikong Zhen's ability to have Tianmu temporarily withdrawn from the rankings after his breakthrough indicates that his estimated ranking was likely in the top ten."

Upon hearing this, all the worshippers were horrified.

Qibao Glazed Sect.

Ning Fengzhi paused slightly in his teacup and looked at Sword Douluo: "Chen Xin, you felt it too?"

Chen Xin nodded, his eyes gleaming with fighting spirit: "The level 99 barrier has been broken."

"Moreover, this thunderous aura is much stronger than that of an ordinary Limit Douluo."

Gu Rong, the Bone Douluo, clicked his tongue in amazement: "This Sikong Zhen is no ordinary person. He has such power right after breaking through. No wonder the Heavenly Curtain had to temporarily withdraw the rankings."

Ning Fengzhi pondered: "The real-time updated combat power ranking means that any change in anyone's strength will be immediately reflected on the ranking."

"It seems that this list is more accurate than we thought."

Blue Electric Tyrannosaurus Rex family.

Yu Yuanzhen felt the thunderous aura coming from afar and shook his head bitterly: "Another Limit Douluo. And judging from the looks of it, he is much stronger than an ordinary Limit Douluo."

The clansmen behind him all had complicated expressions.

Once the number one beast spirit in the world!
Now, in the face of true power, they appear so powerless.

Deep in the Star Forest.

Di Tian opened his dragon eyes and looked in the direction of Beidou Academy: "Among humans, another interesting fellow has emerged."

Biji said softly, "Ditian, the lightning power of this Sikong Zhen seems to be different from ordinary lightning attributes."

"It contains a hint of destruction."

A hint of interest flashed in Di Tian's eyes. "It seems that not all humans are useless."

Inside the Beidou Academy.

The lightning around Sikong Zhen gradually subsided and eventually merged completely into his body.

When he opened his eyes, it seemed as if billions of lightning bolts flashed in them, then disappeared.

He slowly stood up!
His entire demeanor underwent a dramatic transformation.

If he was a sharp sword drawn from its sheath before, its edge fully revealed.

So now he is like an unfathomable sea of ​​thunder, with a calm surface concealing a world-destroying power.

"Congratulations on breaking through to level 99."

Lu Xiao stepped forward with a smile.

Li Bai raised his wine jug: "It seems you've learned quite a bit from watching those two fight."

Sikong Zhen felt the surging power within him and nodded.

"Poseidon's use of the sea's power and the Demon Emperor's path of destruction have given me some insights."

"Level 99. It's a world of difference from level 98."

He looked up at the sky, his gaze sharp: "Was the strange movement in the sky just now because of me?"

Lu Xiao nodded: "It should be that at the moment you broke through, the sky was refreshing the eleventh place ranking."

"Because your strength has undergone a qualitative change, the Sky Screen needs to be reassessed, so the name that was about to be displayed has been withdrawn."

"interesting."

A glint of lightning flashed in Sikong Zhen's eyes. "So, does that mean I'm now qualified to compete for a top ten position?"

The moment his words fell.

The sky surged with blood-red light once more!
The turbulent waves continued unabated, under the watchful eyes of countless people.

The brand-new ranking information has finally been finalized!
[Power Ranking, 10th]

【Name: Snow Empress (Ice Heaven Snow Woman)】

[Origin: The far north]

[Combat Power Assessment: The leader of the Three Heavenly Kings of the Far North, the supreme ice-attribute soul beast in the world, and the only Ice and Snow Maiden soul beast. Controlling absolute zero, freezing thousands of miles, its strength in the Far North environment is comparable to a demigod. Its ice and snow domain has an absolute suppressive effect on most soul masters.

[Reward: Soul Power level solidified fourfold, ultimate ice purity and control greatly increased, God-level skill: Withering of All Things (Reward to be distributed)]

The entire continent was in an uproar!
"A soul beast even more terrifying than the Demon Emperor has appeared!"

"The supreme power of ice, this is the might of the Ice and Snow Maiden, can it be felt even through the sky?"

"Tenth place! This is the true top-tier expert!"

Bibidon sat on the papal throne.

Seeing that Xue Di's ranking was higher than his own.

Instead of fear, his eyes burned with a fierce fighting spirit.

"The overlord of the far north, huh?"

"Perfect, let me personally experience just how powerful a top-tier ferocious beast really is."

Her slender fingers tapped lightly on the armrest.

at this time!

The vast sound from the sky resounded throughout heaven and earth.

[Bibi Dong! Do you wish to apply to open the 'Endless Arena' and challenge the tenth-ranked Snow Empress?]

There was barely any hesitation.

Bibi Dong's cool voice echoed throughout the Papal Palace.

"war!"

She turned to Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo: "During my absence, you will temporarily take over the affairs of the Spirit Hall. If there are any important matters, you may consult the Hall of Offerings."

"Yes, Your Majesty the Pope!"

They both responded in unison.
