Chapter 84 The Top Spot on the Gold List Revealed
Jing Yuan did not refute Bibi Dong's questioning.
He simply picked up his teacup and raised it slightly towards Bibi Dong.
"If Your Holiness does not believe me, you may wait a little longer. Presumably, the news from the Heaven Dou Camp will soon reach the spies of the Spirit Hall."
That nonchalant attitude made Bibi Dong feel like she had punched cotton.
This man may seem mild-mannered, but he is actually very meticulous.
At that moment, a strange change occurred in the sky.
The surging golden-red clouds suddenly stopped.
It was an oppressive stillness, as if the entire world had been put on pause. The howling winds of the far north vanished completely at that moment, and even the falling snowflakes hovered in mid-air.
Everyone instinctively looked up.
The enormous golden scroll unfolded once more, this time more massive than ever before, almost completely obscuring the northern sky.
Golden light shines brightly, and auspicious clouds abound.
At the center of that dazzling light, several large, gilded characters slowly emerged, carrying an ancient and desolate aura as they pressed down.
[Rank 1 on the Martial Soul Ranking!]
At this moment, all living beings on the Douluo Continent, whether titled Douluo or ten-year-old soul beasts, felt a tremor from the depths of their souls.
That is the natural suppression of those in power by those in lower power.
On the scroll, ink spreads and blends.
Instead of a person appearing directly, a bolt of lightning first ripped through the sky.
That was no ordinary lightning; it was golden divine lightning, carrying the majesty to judge all evil in the world.
Lightning converged, and a gigantic figure slowly took shape in the scroll.
It was a Dharma image that was ten thousand feet tall.
Its entire body was wrapped in golden lightning, it was clad in crimson-gold armor, its face was as majestic as a god, its eyes were closed, yet it still exuded a divine might that made people dare not look directly at it.
In its hand, it held a massive crescent blade powerful enough to cleave through galaxies.
The mere appearance of a phantom was enough to cause the ice on the far north ice plains to crack and break with a series of loud cracking sounds.
[Martial Soul: Divine Firmament Heavenly Lord]
[Rank: God-level (Transcendent)]
[Commentary: The Emperor's Bow governs destiny, the Divine Firmament Thunder Palace. Its power and spirit are awe-inspiring, commanding all spirits. This martial spirit is no ordinary being; it is a manifestation of one's own will, wielding the power of life and death. A single strike can cleave stars, sever causality. Only those with great wisdom, unwavering will, and extraordinary opportunity can bear its weight. It is both a martial spirit and a guardian deity.]
Qian Renxue's pupils contracted sharply upon seeing the comment.
God-level?
Transcendent?
Her six-winged angel martial soul was already a god-level martial soul, but when facing this "Divine Firmament Heavenly Lord", she actually felt an urge to bow down and worship.
That's a fundamental difference.
If the six-winged angels are messengers of God, then this Divine Firmament Heavenly Lord is God himself!
The list continued to shine, and the name of the owner was announced.
[Owner: Luofu Immortal Ship - Jing Yuan]
Although they had already guessed the result, the people on the deck still felt a sense of suffocation when the name actually appeared at the top of the list.
Immediately afterwards, the list of rewards appeared.
[Ranking Rewards:]
[1. Divine Inheritance - Hunting (Directly Above the God-King)]
[2. Companion Artifact: Stonefire Dream Body]
[3. Soul Power increased by 20 levels (ignoring bottlenecks)]

...
Star Dou Forest, Lake of Life.
The calm lake surface now seemed to be boiling, churning wildly.
The moment the top spot on the Golden List appeared, all the soul beasts in the entire Star Dou Forest lay prostrate on the ground, trembling in fear. It was a fear that originated from the depths of their blood, and even the hundred-thousand-year-old soul beasts were no exception.
Di Tian knelt on one knee by the lake, the pride of the Black Dragon King vanishing in that moment.
His forehead was covered in cold sweat, and his eyes were filled with horror as he stared at the enormous image of the Divine Firmament Heavenly Lord in the sky.
"What... what kind of martial soul is this?"
"By the Dragon God above, this aura is even more terrifying than that of the Dragon God himself back then!"
In the center of the lake, silver light shimmered.
Gu Yuena's figure appeared. She did not kneel like the other soul beasts, but her face was pale, and her purple eyes were filled with disbelief.
As the Silver Dragon King, she inherited the Dragon God's control over the elements.
But at this moment, she could clearly feel that the lightning elements in the world had completely broken free from her control and were cheering and worshipping towards the golden list.
"The Divine Firmament Heavenly Lord..."
Gu Yuena murmured to herself, her voice trembling slightly.
"This is absolutely not a martial soul that should exist in the Douluo Continent."
"That kind of pressure is not just about sheer power, but also about crushing one's status. It's like... a higher-dimensional being looking down on an ant."
She originally thought that her true form, the Silver Dragon King, was already the pinnacle of this world.
Even human gods are no match for the power of the Dragon God.
But now, the bloodline she was so proud of felt insignificant in the face of that enormous golden figure.
"Who exactly is it?"
Gu Yuena stared intently at the light screen.
"Who on earth could awaken such a heaven-defying martial soul?"
When the name "Jing Yuan" appeared on the list, Gu Yuena's delicate body trembled slightly.
It's him again.
It's the Luofu Immortal Ship again.
That mysterious force that suddenly appeared in the far north.
First it was the Boundless Ice Prison Sword, ranked second, and now it's the Divine Firmament Heavenly Lord, ranked first.
This man named Jing Yuan actually topped the list all by himself.
"Soul power increased by twenty levels... directly accessing the divine throne above the God King level..."
Gu Yuena took a deep breath, her chest heaving violently.
"That's terrifying."
"If Jing Liu was merely someone to be wary of before, then Jing Yuan is someone to be filled with despair."
The surrounding spirit beasts, including Bi Ji and the Demon King, didn't even dare to breathe loudly at this moment.
Although they did not understand what the Divine Firmament Heavenly Lord was, seeing even their lord showing such an expression filled them with even greater fear.
"My lord..."
Di Tian raised his head with difficulty, his voice hoarse.
"Should we... still make contact with this human?"
Gu Yuena remained silent for a long time.
As she looked at the name on the screen, her initially wary and hostile gaze gradually shifted.
It was awe of the strong, and an irrepressible curiosity.
In the world of spirit beasts, the strong are revered.
The depth of knowledge and experience that Jing Yuan displayed far exceeded her expectations.
"Contact."
Gu Yuena said firmly.
"Not only do we need to make contact, but we need to do it as soon as possible."
"The Luofu Immortal Ship is so powerful. If we can befriend them, perhaps... it will be an opportunity for the revival of our soul beast race."
She turned around, looking towards the far north, a strange light flashing in her eyes.
"I will go and see for myself."
"What exactly does this man, who possesses the Divine Firmament Heavenly Lord Martial Soul and can change the color of heaven and earth, look like?"
