Chapter 6 Bibi Dong's Astonishment.
Spirit Hall, Papal Palace.
Seated on her throne, Bibi Dong's jade-like hand gripping her jeweled scepter tightened abruptly upon hearing "Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex ranked twentieth."
For the first time, a clear look of astonishment appeared on her stunningly beautiful face.
"Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex is only twentieth?"
Her phoenix eyes narrowed, a storm raging within her.
This was completely beyond her expectations.
She knew the quality of the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex; it was undoubtedly top-tier.
Even it could only rank twentieth, so what about the spirits ranked higher?
A feeling of things slipping out of her control welled up within her, making her extremely uneasy.
But at the same time, an even more fervent ambition burned within her.
If the reward for twentieth was so generous, what about those ranked higher?
She subconsciously glanced at Ghost Douluo and Chrysanthemum Douluo below.
She saw that their faces were bitter, the glimmer of hope that had just risen in their eyes completely extinguished.
Although their martial souls were unique and powerful, they believed that in terms of absolute quality, they were still slightly inferior to the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex.
The Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex was only ranked twentieth; the two of them probably wouldn't even make the list.
Ghostly and Moon Guard exchanged a glance, both seeing the same thought in each other's eyes: Could it be that even His Holiness the Pope's two seemingly heaven-defying twin martial souls couldn't make it into the top ten?
This thought had barely formed when—the sky changed again!
Golden light swirled, and a new ranking appeared:
[Martial Soul Ranking, 19th Place: Death Spider Emperor]
[Holder: Bibi Dong (Spirit Hall)]
[Rating: Top-tier offensive/control type beast martial soul, containing top-tier death and poison power, possessing the characteristic of devouring growth.]
[Reward: Soul power level increased by one level, all soul ring age increased by one thousand years]
"Nineteenth place?"
Bibi Dong's pupils contracted; the bad premonition in her heart had come true.
Her Death Spider Queen was only ranked nineteenth?!
But the next moment, that familiar golden pillar of light crashed down, completely enveloping her!
A surge of immense Heavenly Dao energy poured into her, and her peak level 98 soul power instantly boiled.
That solid barrier was utterly vulnerable before this mighty force, shattering instantly!
Level 99!
Limit Douluo!
A vast and incomparable, terrifying pressure, seemingly capable of controlling death, erupted from Bibi Dong's body, causing the entire Papal Palace to tremble violently.
The dark phantom of the Death Spider Queen flashed behind her, and the chilling purple poisonous mist spread out and then instantly receded.
Below, Ghost Douluo and Chrysanthemum Douluo, under this terrifying pressure, groaned and involuntarily knelt on one knee.
They could barely resist by fully mobilizing their soul power, their faces filled with horror and awe!
"Congratulations, Your Majesty the Pope! Congratulations, Your Majesty the Pope! You have achieved the Limit Douluo realm!"
The two endured the pressure and excitedly congratulated her loudly.
Bibi Dong felt the surging, overwhelming soul power within her, far surpassing her previous strength, and the increasingly close connection between her soul and the Rakshasa Divine Test. A satisfied smile finally appeared on her beautiful face.
Although her ranking was lower than expected, this genuine improvement was undeniable.
A level 99 Limit Douluo, coupled with the advantage of the Rakshasa Divine Test, who on the continent could stop her Spirit Hall's advance?
Unification was just around the corner!
However, the Heavenly Dao's rewards were not yet over.
Golden light flashed again in the sky:
[Soul Ranking, 18th: Soul Devouring Spider Emperor]
[Holder: Bibi Dong (Soul Hall)]
[Rating: Top-tier offensive/mental beast soul, possessing the strange ability to devour souls and weaken the spirit.]
[Reward: Soul power solidified by one time, all soul rings increased by one thousand years]
Another slightly thinner golden light fell, merging into Bibi Dong's body.
Instantly, her soul power, which had just advanced to level 99, surged and doubled. She compressed it violently, doubling its quality once more.
This overwhelming feeling of being able to control heaven and earth and tear everything apart intoxicated her.
Simultaneously, all her soul rings were tempered once more, their age increasing by a thousand years, their radiance deepening.
Especially the several black ten-thousand-year soul rings, their color now a deep, gleaming sheen, faintly shifting towards a dark red!
Twice on the list!
Double rewards!
Bibi Dong's strength reached an unprecedented peak at this moment!
After the initial joy, Bibi Dong quickly calmed down, a cold light flashing in her phoenix eyes.
The rewards for ranking nineteenth and eighteenth were already so heaven-defying, what about those ahead?
If they fell into the hands of an enemy force…
"Ghostly Demon, Moon Pass!"
Her voice was icy, carrying an undeniable killing intent.
"Your subordinates are here!" the two hurriedly responded.
"Immediately increase manpower and utilize all intelligence networks to keep a close watch on every person who makes the list! Record the location and approximate area where the rewards will be distributed! Once it is discovered that a genius Soul Master outside of our Spirit Hall faction has obtained the opportunity..."
A ruthless glint flashed in Bibi Dong's eyes, "If you can win them over, do so; if not, you know what to do! We absolutely cannot allow any potential threat to grow!"
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
Ghostly Charm and Moonlight Heart tightened in their chests and immediately obeyed the order.
They knew that Her Majesty the Pope intended to use this opportunity to either recruit geniuses or stifle them!
Bibi Dong watched the two figures depart, feeling the surging power within her, a cold smile curling at the corner of her lips.
Although the appearance of the Heavenly Curtain had brought changes, she, Bibi Dong, would use everything to transform these changes into a stepping stone for the Spirit Hall to unify the continent!
Inside the Hall of Worship.
Qian Daoliu silently sensed the sudden burst and rapid receding aura of a Limit Douluo from the direction of the Papal Palace, along with the undisguised, icy killing intent. A complex and solemn look flashed in his golden eyes.
"She has broken through, and her strength seems to be stronger than an ordinary level 99."
Qian Daoliu sighed softly, "The inheritance of the Rakshasa God, plus this Heavenly Dao reward... Alas, that moment of mercy back then!"
The Golden Crocodile Douluo and the others behind him also had solemn expressions.
Bibi Dong's rapid growth and ruthless methods had long since exceeded their control.
Now that her strength has greatly increased, the balance of power within the Spirit Hall is likely to tilt again.
"Big brother, we..."
Golden Crocodile Douluo hesitated.
Qian Daoliu waved his hand, his gaze returning to the sky: "Let's wait and see. Xue'er is the hope for the future. Now, what I'm more concerned about is what kind of spirit can surpass her twin spirits and rank among the top."
All the elders' hearts were on edge.
Bibi Dong's twin martial souls only ranked eighteenth or nineteenth, so how terrifying must the seventeen martial souls ahead of her be?
Where would the young master's six-winged angel rank?
The entire continent was thoroughly agitated, shocked, and stirred by these successive announcements of rankings.
Major powers sprang into action, their eyes fixed on the sky, while simultaneously scanning their surroundings warily, trying to find the next lucky one.
The announcement of the Martial Soul Ranking was like a boulder thrown into a calm lake, completely stirring up the winds and clouds of the Douluo Continent.
And everyone understood that this was only the beginning.
Even more shocking rankings were yet to come!
