Chapter 85 Luo Fu Jing Yuan! Number One on the Golden List!
Spirit City, Hall of Offerings.
The enormous six-winged angel statue, which should have radiated a sacred and inviolable brilliance, appeared dim and lackluster under the golden light.
It wasn't fear, but rather a sense of bewilderment after one's faith was challenged.
The Six-Winged Angel Martial Soul is a divinely bestowed martial soul, symbolizing invincibility in the sky. Yet, the Divine Firmament Heavenly Lord on the Golden List described it as "a manifestation of one's own will."
Without relying on divine gifts or external forces, he used his mortal body to condense the divine image.
"Big brother."
Golden Crocodile Douluo strode over, his usually dignified and austere face now filled with horror. Under the lightning pressure, the Golden Crocodile King Armor on his body let out a mournful cry of unbearable strain.
"Does such a martial spirit truly exist in this world?"
Qian Daoliu took a deep breath, suppressing the pounding in his heart, and stared intently at a line of words on the golden list—[Rank: God-level (Transcendent)].
"Transcendence..."
Qian Daoliu muttered to himself.
"Even Tang Chen back then, or Poseidon, even if the three of us joined forces, we never touched the threshold of 'transcendence'. This is no longer a power of the human world."
He turned around and looked at the other priests behind him, who were also pale-faced.
"Luofu Immortal Ship, Jing Yuan".
When Qian Daoliu uttered this name, his tone was more solemn than ever before.
"When the Boundless Ice Prison Sword first appeared, I thought it belonged to a reclusive powerhouse. But now it seems that the waters of this Luofu Immortal Ship are even more unfathomable than those of Spirit Hall."
"What you mean, Brother, is..." Falling Devil Douluo gripped the Dragon-Coiling Staff tightly, "that Jing Yuan alone can withstand the entire Spirit Hall?"
Qian Daoliu shook his head, his gaze returning to the sky, looking at the illusory image of the crescent blade that could cleave through the Milky Way.
"This is no longer a matter of resisting."
"Divine inheritance, accompanying divine artifacts, and the so-called 'star core essence.' The foundation that Jing Yuan possesses would probably make even the Angel God Ancestor wary."
Golden Crocodile Douluo gasped.
The fact that one could hear Qian Daoliu say something like "even the God Ancestor must be wary" speaks volumes about the seriousness of the situation.
"Pass down the order."
Qian Daoliu regained his composure, but a hint of worry still lingered deep in his eyes.
"Regarding the Luofu Immortal Ship and Jing Yuan, from this moment on, the Spirit Hall can only be on good terms, not on bad terms. As for Bibi Dong, I will personally speak with her."
...
Heaven Dou City, inside an elegant private manor.
Far from the hustle and bustle of the city, the garden is planted with various precious flowers and plants, and there is also warm jade on the ground, so even in this late autumn season, it is still as warm as spring.
This is one of the meeting points for the Five Elements Academy exchange program.
Although the All-Continent Elite Tournament of Advanced Soul Master Academies has long since ended, the core disciples of the major academies still maintain close personal relationships and frequently visit each other.
At this moment, in the pavilion, several stunningly beautiful women of different appearances are sitting around a table.
"Seriously, what's so great about that Tang San?"
The speaker was a woman wearing a fiery red short skirt, with long, wine-red hair cascading down like flames; she was Huo Wu from Blazing Fire Academy. She toyed with the teacup in her hand, her face full of disdain.
"There's a lot of talk outside now, saying that Shrek defended Jialing Pass, and they're being hailed as saviors."
Sitting opposite her was a woman wearing a light blue dress.
Shui Bing'er possessed a cool and aloof demeanor, like a solitary orchid in a secluded valley. She took a sip of tea, her expression serene.
"The victor is king, the loser is villain. Shrek did win, that's a fact."
"That's because Tang San was lucky!" Huo Wu snorted indignantly. "If it weren't for the fact that the Spirit Hall had made too many enemies, they wouldn't have had a chance to shine."
"Sister, Sister Huo Wu, please stop arguing."
Shui Yu'er rested her chin on her hand, her big eyes darting around, her face full of infatuation.
"I don't care who wins or loses, I just want to know what the strong people on this Golden Ranking look like. That Jing Liu from before, although she was a woman, her aura... tsk tsk, it was absolutely amazing."
Ye Lingling, who had been sitting quietly to the side, gently put down the book in her hand.
She was dressed in black, her face veiled, revealing only a pair of clear, melancholy eyes. As the successor of the Nine Heart Begonia, she was usually taciturn, but at this moment she was also drawn into the conversation.
"The golden list has appeared, and the landscape has changed."
Ye Lingling's voice was soft, yet it hit the nail on the head.
"The teachers at the academy all say that the world of the Douluo Continent is about to change."
As they were talking, Dugu Yan suddenly stood up.
Her short, dark purple hair was neat and capable, and her emerald green eyes were reflecting the dramatic changes in the sky.
"Stop talking, look at the sky!"
The girls looked up at the same time.
The once clear blue sky was now completely covered by a dazzling golden light curtain.
Although the snowstorm from the far north was not directly transmitted, the soul-chilling pressure disregarded the distance and descended directly upon the sky above Heaven Dou City.
Lightning exploded, and a golden-armored deity appeared.
The towering Divine Firmament Heavenly Lord Dharma Image, standing tens of thousands of feet tall, caused the entire defensive array of Heaven Dou City to sound a piercing alarm with just a glance.
"What... what the hell is this?!"
Huo Wu's usually fiery temper completely died down at this moment. Her beautiful eyes widened, and she felt the fire element martial soul within her tremble under the power of the thunder, as if it might be extinguished at any moment.
Shui Bing'er's face turned pale, and the teacup in her hand fell to the ground with a "crack" and shattered.
She is the owner of the top-tier ice-type martial soul, the Ice Phoenix, and is most sensitive to pressure.
Before that golden thunder god, her proud ice phoenix was like a newly hatched chick, lacking even the courage to raise its head.
"Martial Soul... Is this really a Martial Soul?"
Shui Bing'er's voice trembled as she stared intently at the comments that slowly appeared on the list.
With a single strike, one can cleave stars and sever cause and effect.
"Severing the stars..."
Shui Yu'er covered her mouth, her eyes filled with disbelief.
"Is this the number one? The previous Boundless Ice Prison Sword was powerful, but it wasn't this exaggerated, was it? This is something out of a myth!"
A surge of intense emotion welled up in Ye Lingling's melancholy eyes.
"It is both a martial spirit and a guardian deity..."
She murmured the comment, a storm raging within her.
These so-called "geniuses" are still complacent about their Soul Master and Soul King realms, and are still vying for favors and jealousy over the outcome of the academy competition.
Those who possess such a martial spirit are probably already standing on the clouds, looking down upon all living beings.
"Quick, look at the owner's name!"
Dugu Yan exclaimed in surprise, pointing her finger to the very bottom of the list.
As the light converged, those large, gold-plated characters were imprinted deeply on everyone's retinas, like a brand.
[Owner: Luofu Immortal Ship - Jing Yuan]
"Jing Yuan…"
Shui Bing'er murmured the name, her tone carrying an indescribable sense of awe.
"It's the Luofu Immortal Ship again."
