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

Chapter 172 Power Struggles, The Curtain Rises Again

Gu Yuena tore through space and left shortly after.

Another figure appeared silently not far away.

This person is a first-level deity in the divine realm.

The god of emotions melts away the ice of thought.

The moment he descended, his divine sense spread out like mercury, capturing the lingering aura in the void.

"Silver Dragon King...it really is her aura!"

An unprecedented solemnity appeared on Rong Nianbing's handsome face, his eyes sharp as knives.

"Although only a trace remains, the pure power of the Dragon God's bloodline and the spatial fluctuations are absolutely unmistakable!"

"She was actually hiding in the Douluo Continent!"

As a first-level deity in the divine realm, Rong Nianbing did not personally participate in the great war of the divine realm during the Dragon God's rebellion!

However, through divine scriptures and oral accounts from his predecessors, he also knew a great deal about the dragon god's split forms—the Golden Dragon King and the Silver Dragon King.

The Silver Dragon King wields elemental power, possesses exceptional wisdom, and harbors deep resentment towards the divine realm.

This forbidden being, comparable to a god-king, has been lurking in the Douluo Continent, a subordinate region of the God Realm, without the God Realm's knowledge!
This is undoubtedly a huge hidden danger!
Especially in the Douluo Continent today!
"Just how many unforeseen events are hidden in this Douluo Continent?"

Rong Nianbing took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing the turmoil in her heart.

The sky curtain, spatial rifts, the Silver Dragon King...

The water here was much deeper and more dangerous than he had imagined!
The most important thing right now is to immediately report the news of the Silver Dragon King's reappearance to the Divine Realm Committee!

This is enough to overturn the God Realm's original assessment of the situation on Douluo Continent!

With this thought in mind, Rong Nianbing no longer hesitated, his figure transforming into a streak of seven-colored light, instantly tearing through space.

Return to the realm of gods as quickly as possible.

……

Douluo Continent.

Shortly after Lu Xiao, Gu Yuena and the others returned to their respective places.

"Boom boom boom!"

The golden sky, which had been silent for a long time, suddenly began to shake violently!
There was an aura of grandeur and solemnity more overwhelming than ever before when the list was released.

It spread from the sky!
It instantly covered the entire continent!
On the mainland, whether it was the Soul Master army preparing for war, the ordinary people filled with anxiety, or the high-ranking officials of various forces.

Everyone's attention was immediately drawn to this sudden change in the sky!
"Look! The golden sky is moving!"

"Something's changed! A new list is coming out!"

"This aura... is so profound! It feels even more substantial than the previous Martial Soul Ranking and Martial Soul Fusion Skill Ranking!"

Under the watchful eyes of countless people, the names of the next list appeared on the sky.

[Power Ranking]

Three large characters stretch across the sky, their strokes as sharp as dragons!
It contains an unparalleled majesty that commands the eight directions and overlooks all living beings!

Immediately afterwards, lines of clear, rule-containing golden characters flowed down like a waterfall.

This list proclaims its rules and significance to all living beings.

The cycle of all things, the rise and fall of powers, is the natural course of civilization's evolution. Therefore, a power ranking is established to observe where the destiny of the Douluo Continent is concentrated and where heroes gather.

[Evaluation Criteria: The evaluation comprehensively considers multiple dimensions, including the top-tier experts possessed by the faction (strength, quantity, and potential), its inherited heritage (cultivation techniques, resources, and secret realms), its fortune and opportunities, its influence on the continent's格局 (geju, overall situation), and its development potential, and is conducted using the rules of the Heavenly Curtain.]

[List Scope: Covers all existing forces in the Douluo Continent, including but not limited to sects, empires, academies, reclusive families, and special ethnic groups.]

[Ranking Slots: A total of ten slots will be available, including only the top ten performers based on overall evaluation.]

……

Power Ranking!
Ranking the top ten forces in terms of overall strength in Douluo Continent!
The moment this list was released, the entire continent was instantly in an uproar!
If the previous individual rankings, such as the Martial Soul Ranking, Soul Master Ranking, Combat Power Ranking, and Martial Soul Fusion Skill Ranking, were the stage for heroes and great men.

This power ranking is a battleground for power and foundation!

It is the authoritative benchmark for truly measuring the status and weight of a force on the Douluo Continent!

Which sect has the deepest foundation?
Which empire was the strongest?
What are some hidden forces, unknown to the public yet possessing terrifying power?
All these questions will be answered once the list is released! More importantly, this is a sensitive time when the kill list is hanging high and foreign invasion is imminent!

The release of this power ranking is tantamount to a comprehensive review of the local forces in the Douluo Continent!

Who will make the list, and what will their ranking be?
It's not just about face and honor.

It could even affect the discourse power, resource allocation, and even survival opportunities in future wars!
"Power Ranking! It's actually a power ranking! Great! Finally, we can see the true strength of the major powers!"

"Top ten! Only ten spots! The competition is bound to be incredibly fierce!"

"Where do you think the Spirit Hall ranks? What about the two great empires? What about the three upper sects?"

"Don't forget Beidou Academy! With those monster teachers, I think Beidou Academy can definitely be in the top three, or even... challenge for first place!"

"What about the Soul Beast race? Those ferocious beast kings of the Star Dou Great Forest, the Silver Dragon King... wouldn't you consider them a force?"

"..."

The discussions swept across every corner of the continent like a tsunami.

The tense atmosphere of preparation was further amplified by the unveiling of the power rankings, adding a unique sense of excitement, anticipation, and trepidation.

The top leaders of various forces are on edge.

His gaze was fixed intently on the sky.

……

Qibao Glazed Sect.

Ning Fengzhi, Sword Douluo, and Bone Douluo gathered together, their expressions solemn.

Ning Fengzhi solemnly murmured, "In the power rankings, my Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School is known for its wealth. Our top combatants include Uncle Sword and Uncle Bone, and among the younger generation, Rongrong is at the Big Dipper Academy... I wonder if we can make it into the top ten?"

Chen Xin nodded seriously and said, "It depends on the evaluation criteria. If we judge purely by combat strength, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School may be slightly inferior."

"But in terms of resources, influence, and potential... they may not be without the ability to compete."

Gu Rong chimed in, "We'll see how the heavens judge it."

……

Blue Electric Tyrannosaurus Rex family.

Sect Master Yu Yuanzhen's eyes shone brightly: "My Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Clan is the number one beast spirit sect in the world, with more than one titled Douluo, and a profound foundation!"

"Our clan will surely have a place in the top ten!"

……

Star Dou Forest, core area.

Di Tian and the other ferocious beasts also saw the sky and looked at Gu Yuena who had returned.

Di Tian said in a deep voice, "My lord, in this power ranking, is my soul beast clan considered a power?"

Xiong Jun, naturally unconvinced, roared, "Of course it counts! We are powerful and rule the Star Dou Great Forest, why can't it count?"

Gu Yuena's voice drifted over, carrying a hint of coldness and arrogance: "Whether or not one makes the list, the Heavenly Curtain will decide."

"Our soul beast race has existed for countless years, why do we need the approval of others? We just need to prepare for war."

……

Under the spotlight!
On the sky, a dazzling golden light symbolized the official start of the power ranking announcement.

It finally began to coalesce and contract.

Ultimately, it transformed into a clear line of large characters.

[The tenth place on the Douluo Continent Power Ranking will be revealed soon!]

The mainland fell silent instantly, with countless people holding their breath, waiting for the name of the first force to appear on the list.

Is it some long-established sect?

Was it one of the two great empires?

Or... some unexpected dark horse?
