Chapter 5
: Poseidon Makes the List, the Ocean's Invincibility Changes Hands
Compared to the envy and jealousy of others, Qian Daoliu was depressed by Tianmu's summary and review.
Now everyone on Douluo Star knows that Qian Daoliu is a stubborn and straightforward simpleton.
Just when Qian Daoliu was depressed.
Boom—
A golden beam of light suddenly descended from the sky, instantly enveloping him.
Upon seeing this, the other six worshippers instinctively cried out in alarm.
"Is this the reward given after the Sky Curtain inventory is completed?"
Qian Daoliu felt no discomfort while inside the pillar of light; he only felt a vast power surging into his body.
Black, black, black.
Black, black, black.
Black, red, red.
Nine soul rings slowly rose from beneath Qian Daoliu's feet.
Having received the rewards from the Sky Recap, Qian Daoliu's soul rings also underwent some changes, changing from eight black and one red to seven black and two red.
As the beam of light dissipated, Qian Daoliu's aura suddenly surged, becoming even more powerful than before. Golden soul power flowed around him, and his divine aura swept across the surroundings, inspiring awe in all who beheld him.
The six worshippers all looked shocked, and subconsciously nodded and bowed, their voices filled with barely concealed excitement.
"Big brother, congratulations on your further improvement in strength!"
Qian Daoliu slowly withdrew his soul power pressure, lowered his eyes to look at the seven black and two red soul rings at his feet, the depression in his eyes dissipated a little, leaving only an unfathomable sharpness.
He looked up at his other old comrades and said with a touch of emotion.
"This sky-based reward is truly miraculous."
"His methods and strength are even greater than those of the Angel God."
When enveloped by the pillar of light, even he, a level 99 demigod who stood at the pinnacle of the Douluo Continent and was halfway to the God Realm, could not muster the slightest power to resist.
That immense power far exceeded comprehension; one could only let it surge into the body to increase the age of the soul ring. This method and strength were far beyond what the Angel God could achieve.
Upon hearing this, the golden crocodile's pupils constricted sharply, and he exclaimed in shock.
"A grand...grand offering!"
"You're saying the power of the Heavenly Curtain surpasses even that of the angels?"
"Isn't this just too absurd?"
The other worshippers all looked horrified and solemn.
The Angel God was their lifelong faith, and Qian Daoliu was the Angel God's servant and high priest, the human closest to the Angel God.
But now, Qian Daoliu bluntly stated that the power of the Heavenly Curtain far surpasses that of the Angel God, a shock that shook them to their core.
Qian Daoliu withdrew his soul ring, his tone deep and serious.
"This is no exaggeration. The sheer magnitude and power of that force far surpasses my understanding of the divine realm and is incomparable to the God of Angels."
He, as the servant of the angel God and the high priest, had a lot to say on this matter.
"Who will be the next powerhouse to be featured in the Skyfall Rankings?"
"Is it Poseidon?"
"Still Tang Chen?"
Qian Daoliu looked at the sky again, his heart filled with complex emotions.
Poseidon was the woman he loved.
Tang Chen is both his old friend and his enemy.
If Tang Chen hadn't died, after learning about the Clear Sky Sect, given their domineering and fierce nature, they would definitely have come to Martial Soul City.
…………
At the same time, the scene changes.
In the shadows of Shrek Academy in Tiandou City.
Tang Hao's eyes were bloodshot, and he was panting heavily.
He stared intently at the sky.
His current soul power level is level 95.
He thought no one on the mainland could kill him.
But the appearance of the sky was undoubtedly a resounding slap in the face to him.
Qian Daoliu, a level 99 demigod, killed him like slaughtering a dog, leaving him utterly powerless to resist.
The difference in soul power levels between the two may seem to be only four levels, but in reality, they are worlds apart, with the gap between them being half a step into the divine realm being as insurmountable as a chasm.
His demigod power could easily crush an ordinary level 99 peerless Douluo; his strength was utterly insignificant in the eyes of his opponent.
"Damn it! I, the mighty Haotian Douluo, possess the Haotian Hammer, the strongest weapon spirit, and am further enhanced by a 100,000-year spirit ring. My strength surpasses all other Title Douluos of my generation, yet I can't even make it onto this Heavenly Canopy Power Ranking. This is an utter disgrace!"
"Are there really so many unknown, powerful individuals in this world?"
"In my opinion, this ranking list is definitely a dubious one; it's better not to look at it!"
Just as Tang Hao was angrily questioning, new text and videos appeared again in the sky.
All beings eagerly awaited the announcement, knowing that the heavens were about to tally the ninth-ranked individual on the power rankings.
If Qian Daoliu, who is ranked tenth, is this terrifying, then what kind of style must the ninth-ranked person be?
[A list of the top ten strongest figures on Douluo Star.]
[TOP9: Poseidon.]
"Um???"
The moment Poseidon's name appeared, all the forces on the continent were instantly bewildered, as none of them had ever heard of this person.
However, since the other party is ranked above Qian Daoliu, their strength must be even more unfathomable. What is even more shocking is that the name clearly indicates that she is a female Soul Master.
The news that a powerful woman had surpassed Qian Daoliu caused an uproar. People were in disbelief and speculated about her origins and strength.
…………
Poseidon Island, the Hall of Worship.
The words "Poseidon has ascended to ninth place on the Power Ranking" illuminated the sky, and all the Title Douluos in the hall bowed in unison, their eyes filled with awe and excitement.
"Congratulations, High Priest! Your strength has been recognized by the Heavenly Curtain, placing you ninth among the top ten strongest warriors on Douluo Star!"
Compared to the uncultured and ignorant people in the Hall of Worship in Spirit City, they have been guarding the safety of Seagod Island for many years and naturally know that there are many powerful beings in the ocean.
Having witnessed grand occasions, they wouldn't be foolish enough to question the Heavenly Curtain's judgment. They were only convinced of the High Priest's strength in earning him a place on the Strongest Ranking, filled with awe and pride.
Poseidon stood silently before the palace, her silver hair falling down, her body radiating a pale blue soul power. She gazed at the sky above, her voice clear and crisp like the sea breeze.
"Ninth on the Power Rankings..."
Poseidon remained unfazed by the ranking, as if he had known the answer all along.
If Qian Daoliu can only rank tenth, then she must also have a place on this list of strong people.
"morning!"
Are you on this list?
"Where am I now...?"
The thought of Tang Chen stirred a ripple in Poseidon's heart.
Her gaze was fixed on the sky, hoping that Tang Chen would be the next person on the list, so that she would know whether Tang Chen was well and where he was at this moment.
Amidst the anticipation of all beings, new text and videos appeared in the celestial canopy.
[TOP9: Poseidon.]
Race: Human.
[Position: High Priest of Poseidon Island, servant of the Sea God, and high priest.]
[Divine Martial Soul: Sea God.]
Soul Power Level: Level 99 (Demigod)
Title: Sea God Douluo.
[Soul Ring Configuration: Black, Black, Black, Black, Black, Black, Black, Black, Red.]
[Poseidon is also a peerless Douluo, but as the servant and high priestess of the Sea God, she can mobilize a large amount of the Sea God's divine power, allowing her strength to reach the level of a demigod.]
[Beneath the gods, on the boundless ocean, if Poseidon, the invincible ruler of the sea, claims second place, then only the absolute overlord of the ocean dares to claim first.]
