Chapter 132: Combat Power Ranking, Endless Arena
Sea God Island.
Tang Chen and Bo Saixi looked at each other in silence.
They both saw deep astonishment in each other's eyes.
They had pursued a God Position for a hundred years, well aware of the difficulty of becoming a god.
And Lu Xiao, not only had he become a god, but he had achieved it in such an inconceivable way, and the description of his strength was even more horrifying.
"The power of creation and destruction, this is beyond what ordinary Divinities can achieve..."
Bo Saixi's voice trembled slightly.
Tang Chen shook his head with a bitter smile: "Compared to him, our hundred years of arduous cultivation are like child's play."
The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, the Star Luo Empire... all forces, at this moment, completely extinguished any thought of competing with Big Dipper Academy.
Facing an invincible True God in this World.
Besides awe and submission, they couldn't think of a second attitude.
Star Dou Great Forest.
Gu Yuena's silver-purple Dragon eyes gazed at Lu Xiao's information on the heavenly curtain.
On her exquisite face, for the first time, an unconcealable surprise and solemnity appeared.
"Level 100, colored Soul Rings?"
She murmured to herself, her delicate brows slightly furrowed.
"When we last met, though he was strong, he didn't give me such an intense feeling... Did he hide his strength, or did he have another Breakthrough in this short period?"
"Humans... when did such an anomaly appear?"
Even she, as a Dragon God Clone, the Silver Dragon King.
At this moment, from Lu Xiao's brief introduction, she felt an unprecedented pressure.
The evaluation of "creation god ring" and "possessing the power of creation and destruction".
Made her think of many ancient and terrifying legends.
Star Dou Great Forest inner region.
The Myriad Demon King, who had just fled back in disarray, had not yet recovered from the shock of being divided by Li Bai's single Sword Qi.
When he saw Lu Xiao's terrifying information on the heavenly curtain.
He froze in place, his entire body's blood seemingly congealed.
"Level 100, Triple Spirits, eight red and two gold..."
He swallowed with difficulty, his back instantly drenched in cold sweat.
"That Li Bai before, he must have really held back!"
He was immensely grateful at this moment that he had decisively admitted defeat and fled.
If he had foolishly tried to force his way through, he would probably have turned to dust by now, just like the land torn apart by Sword Qi.
Facing the unfathomable strength of Big Dipper Academy.
His desire to investigate completely vanished.
Only endless fear remained.
Meanwhile, Big Dipper Academy was peaceful.
Lu Xiao stood with his hands behind his back, looking at his ranking on the heavenly curtain with a calm expression.
Feeling the more harmonious and powerful divine force within him, and the Divine Artifact exuding destructive aura in front of him, the corner of his mouth curved slightly.
"The rankings are complete, and a storm is brewing."
His gaze was profound as he looked into the distance.
"It's time for the Douluo Continent to usher in a new order."
The announcement of the soul master strongest ranking.
Was like a giant rock thrown into a calm lake, completely shattering the millennium-old pattern of the Continent.
Countless Soul Masters looked up at Lu Xiao's mythical information on the heavenly curtain.
Unable to recover for a long time.
However, the heavenly curtain did not give the beings of the Continent much time to process.
Just as Lu Xiao's information slowly faded!
As the golden light seemed about to dissipate, another anomaly occurred!
"Buzz!"
The entire heavenly curtain suddenly trembled violently, as if unable to bear the infusion of some even more powerful force.
The golden sea of light, which had been calming, boiled again, more turbulent and surging than ever before!
A completely different aura began to spread.
No longer the pressure of Soul Power Rank!
Nor the magnificent might of Martial Soul quality.
But a most primitive, most pure, most naked... Battle Intent!
This Battle Intent was vast, ancient, and overbearing!
Containing the most direct desire for slaughter and conquest.
Instantly ignited the combative instinct deep within the Bloodline of all living beings!
"What's going on? Didn't the ranking end?"
"This aura... so terrifying! I feel my blood boiling!"
"The heavenly curtain is changing again!"
Under the gaze of countless bewildered eyes.
The boiling golden light condensed and compressed at a visible speed.
Finally forming three magnificent characters, seemingly forged from endless battle fire and blood, powerfully imprinted in the center of the heavenly curtain.
[Combat Power Ranking]
"Combat Power Ranking?"
"What is this? What's the difference from the soul master strongest ranking just now?"
"Could it be... there's a new ranking?"
Just as everyone was puzzled.
Above the heavenly curtain, that magnificent and indifferent voice once again echoed through the heavens and earth, like war drums beating, announcing the arrival of new rules.
[Combat Power Ranking, regardless of Martial Soul quality, Soul Power Rank, or Soul Ring configuration, only pure combat power and battle instinct are considered!]
[This ranking includes all living beings on the Douluo Continent, humans, Soul Beasts, and even outliers (anomalous beings), all those with combat power are included!]
[Those on the list will receive a baptism of Battle Intent bestowed by the heavenly curtain and corresponding rewards.]
[Special rule for this ranking — 'Endless Arena'!]
[Anyone who doubts their own ranking, or is unconvinced by those ranked higher, can apply to open the 'Endless Arena' for a duel!]
[In the arena, all external aids are isolated, and victory is determined solely by one's pure combat power!]
[The victor can seize the loser's ranking and receive double the ranking rewards!]
[The loser... will be stripped of this ranking's rewards and receive a certain punishment!]
[There is only one chance, be cautious! Be serious!]
The rules were announced.
The entire Douluo Continent fell into another kind of dead silence.
Different from the speechlessness caused by shock before.
This silence was filled with disbelief, frantic calculations, and surging Battle Intent!
Regardless of Martial Soul?
Regardless of Rank?
Only pure combat power?
And it included Soul Beasts?
This news was like a thunderclap from a clear sky, making all Soul Masters' scalps tingle!
"Includes Soul Beasts? This... how can we compete?"
"Oh my god! Those Hundred Thousand Year Spirit Beasts, and even Ferocious beasts, their Physical Body and innate Divine Ability are almost invincible among their peers!"
"Pure combat power..."
"How can we human Soul Masters contend with those powerful Soul Beasts born of nature under the same conditions?"
Star Dou Great Forest, core area.
After a brief moment of stunned silence, the eyes of Di Tian and other Ferocious beasts burst forth with astonishing light!
Di Tian let out a low Dragon roar, his entire body's Battle Intent soaring into the sky.
"Regardless of Rank, only combat power?"
"Good! What a Combat Power Ranking!"
"This is the time for our Soul Beast Clan to rise!"
Xiong Jun pounded his chest, making loud thudding sounds.
His bloodthirsty gaze swept towards the human World.
"Hahaha! I've finally waited for this day!"
"You little human brats, watch as I tear you all to shreds!"
Although the Myriad Demon King still had lingering fears, a glint flashed in his eyes.
If he could achieve a good ranking on this list and receive rewards.
Perhaps it could compensate for his previous Spiritual trauma.
Even Gu Yuena's silver-purple Dragon eyes showed a flicker of emotion.
The rules of this ranking... seemed more advantageous to Soul Beasts with powerful Physical Bodies and strong battle instincts.
However, after the initial shock, the eyes of humanity's top powerhouses also quickly sharpened.
Spirit Hall, Supreme Pontiff Palace.
Bibi Dong forcibly broke free from the shock brought by Lu Xiao, and the flames of ambition reignited in her eyes.
"Regardless of Martial Soul and Rank? Only pure combat power?"
"Hmph, I possess twin spirits, and the erosion and transformation of my Physical Body by Rakshasa God Power, as well as the battle instinct honed through countless slaughters, I might not be weaker than those beasts!"
"If I can successfully challenge, double rewards..."
Her gaze towards the heavenly curtain was filled with calculation and greed... Hall of Worship.
Qian Daoliu's eyes flickered: "Combat Power Ranking?"
"If it's only about combat power... I might not be without a chance."
As the High Priest of the Angel God, his combat experience was incredibly rich, and he was confident he was not inferior to anyone.
Sea God Island.
Tang Chen laughed heartily: "Good! This is exhilarating!"
"My Clear Sky Hammer is inherently a symbol of ultimate power, and the Great Sumeru Hammer is the Profound Truth that maximizes power!"
"Competing in pure combat power? It's exactly what I want!"
He seemed to already envision himself fiercely battling various powerhouses in the Endless Arena.
Bo Saixi was relatively calmer: "The sea realm is vast, with countless powerful Sea Soul Beasts. This ranking... has great variables."
Big Dipper Academy.
Monkey King scratched his ears and cheeks excitedly: "Fighting? Fighting is good!"
"Forget all the fancy stuff, just see who has the harder fist! My old Sun loves it the most!"
Sikong Zhen's body shimmered with lightning, and his tone was calm: "Pure attack and destruction, it suits me perfectly."
Li Bai took a sip of wine and chuckled: "Interesting, only combat power? I'd like to see whose Battle Intent on this Continent can contend with my azure lotus divine sword."
As for Lu Xiao, he merely glanced indifferently at the heavenly curtain before retracting his gaze.
This Combat Power Ranking held little significance for him.
His level had long transcended this form of competition.
The atmosphere of the entire Continent!
Because of the rules of the "Combat Power Ranking" and the "Endless Arena".
Became incredibly subtle and tense.
Despair and hope, fear and Battle Intent.
Intertwined in the hearts of every being capable of coveting this ranking.
This was a more brutal, more direct.
And more Opportunity-filled stage!
The rewards were tempting!
But the price was equally heavy!
To be content with the status quo and receive the basic ranking rewards?
Or to take a risk, challenge for a higher ranking, and contend for double the Opportunity?
Every decision could affect future destiny.
Under the gaze of countless complex eyes, the golden light on the heavenly curtain began to condense again.
The rankings of the [Combat Power Ranking] were about to be announced!
That pervasive, vast Battle Intent!
Indicated that this would be a storm, sweeping across all powerhouses on the entire Continent!
