Douluo Continent: I had just reached my limit when the sky exposed me.

Chapter 204 Bloodline Inheritance Ranking Second
The solemn and majestic sound of the heavens, carrying an unprecedented antiquity and majesty, once again resounded throughout the world:
[Douluo Continent Bloodline Inheritance Ranking, Second Place: Silver Dragon King Bloodline (Dragon God Avatar)]

【Bloodline Origin】: After the Dragon God split, the bloodline that inherited the Dragon God's wisdom and the power to control the elements is one of the highest-ranking and most promising bloodlines among the existing soul beasts in Douluo Continent.

[Currently prominent successor: Gu Yuena (Silver Dragon King, ruler of the Star Dou Great Forest, avatar of the Dragon God, whose strength has recovered to the peak of a first-level god and is now moving towards the God King realm).

[Reason for inclusion: The bloodline originates from a avatar of the Dragon God, inheriting a portion of the Dragon God's essence. Its rank has reached the level of a first-tier deity, possessing limitless potential and the possibility of becoming a God-King. However, this bloodline is incomplete due to the Dragon God's split and requires a long period to recover. Considering rank, potential, and degree of incompleteness, it ranks second.]

[Rewards for making the list]

1. Dragon God Origin Completed: The Silver Dragon King bloodline within Gu Yuena is nourished by fragments of the Dragon God Origin, completing 15% of the missing parts.

2. Elemental Authority Enhancement: Gu Yuena's control over the seven elements is permanently increased by 30%, allowing her to initially explore higher-level elemental powers such as time, life, and destruction.

3. Gift of Golden Dragon King Bloodline: Rewards Gu Yuena with 20% of the Golden Dragon King bloodline essence. By fusing with this bloodline, the integrity of the Silver Dragon King bloodline can be restored more quickly, laying the foundation for the future reunion of the complete Dragon God bloodline.

4. Star Dou Ultimate Blessing: All soul beasts in the Star Dou Great Forest receive the "Dragon God's Protection," ensuring their cultivation will be unimpeded for the next ten years, and increasing the success rate of all soul beasts over 100,000 years old in breaking through the Heavenly Tribulation by 50%.

……

The moment the words fell, four beams of light of different colors descended from the sky, shooting straight towards the shore of the Lake of Life in the Starry Sky Forest!
The most important type is a pure golden pillar of light—that is the very essence of the Golden Dragon King's bloodline!
The moment the beam of light appeared, an incredulous shock appeared in Gu Yuena's beautiful purple eyes for the first time!
"The bloodline of the Golden Dragon King... How is that possible?"

She gasped softly.

"The Golden Dragon King was clearly imprisoned in the forbidden area of ​​the God Realm, so how could Tianmu have obtained its bloodline essence?"

But the pillar of light contained a pure, violent, and ultimate power of bloodline energy!
It is undoubtedly the bloodline of the Golden Dragon King!
Moreover, its purity is extremely high, reaching 20% ​​of the Golden Dragon King's original body!

The golden beam of light surged into Gu Yuena's body, instantly creating a violent resonance and conflict with the Silver Dragon King bloodline within her!
Silver wisdom and the power to control elements collide, intertwine, and fight wildly within Gu Yuena's body with golden power and the power of destruction!
Gu Yuena let out a muffled groan, her face instantly turning pale.

She could clearly sense that although these two bloodlines came from the same source, they had taken completely different paths after splitting off hundreds of thousands of years ago.

Forcing a fusion at this moment will only throw the energy within her body into chaos, and may even damage her very essence!
"No...we can't fuse them now!"

Gu Yuena made a decisive move and mobilized all her divine power!

A strong barrier was forcibly constructed within the body, temporarily sealing the Golden Dragon King's bloodline deep within the heart, separating it from the Silver Dragon King's bloodline.

Even so, just by sealing this 20% of the Golden Dragon King's bloodline within her body, her aura instantly surged!
Originally at the peak of a first-level deity, he was now faintly touching the threshold of a god-king!
The remaining pillars of light transformed into a shower of light, scattering across the entire Starry Sky Forest.

All the spirit beasts felt a warm and sacred power surge into their bodies!

The bottleneck in his cultivation began to loosen, and the blessing and protection of the Dragon God emanated from the depths of his bloodline!
"My lord, you..."

As Di Tian gazed at the faintly flowing golden and silver light emanating from Gu Yuena's body, his golden dragon eyes were filled with shock and ecstasy.

"You have obtained the bloodline of the Golden Dragon King?"

Xiong Jun was so excited that he danced with joy: "Hahaha! With the Golden Dragon King's bloodline, there is hope for the complete Dragon God bloodline to be reunited in the future!"

"Our Soul Beast race will surely recreate our ancient glory!"

The Demon King's soft voice carried an unprecedented awe: "The Heavenly Curtain can even strip away and bestow upon the bloodline of the Golden Dragon King imprisoned in the God Realm... Such methods have surpassed our comprehension."

Biji sighed softly, "With such an opportunity granted to our lord, the future of the Star Dou Great Forest is limitless."

Gu Yuena slowly calmed the churning energy within her body!

Feeling the sealed, raging golden dragon power deep within his heart, and the 15% replenishment of the Silver Dragon King's bloodline within him, a complex emotion flashed in his eyes.

"Golden Dragon King bloodline, Heavenly Curtain, just what kind of being are you?"

She looked up at the sky, at the last remaining top spot on the leaderboard, radiating a chaotic purple light.

Even her Silver Dragon King bloodline can only rank second!

What kind of terrifying existence would the first place winner be?

……

The realm of gods, the forbidden land of gods.

"Roar!"

A dragon's roar, filled with endless rage and pain, erupted from the deepest part of the forbidden area!

The entire forbidden land trembled violently, and the ancient seals set up by the five god-kings began to flicker wildly, as if they were about to shatter at any moment!

At the center of the seal, a giant dragon, over a thousand meters long, covered in golden scales and radiating extreme power and destructive aura, was struggling frantically!

Its eyes were blood-red, filled with savagery and incomprehension.

"My bloodline, my very essence, has been stripped away by 20%!"

"Who is it? Who has the ability to silently steal my bloodline under the seal of the five God-Kings?"

The Golden Dragon King let out a deafening roar.

It felt a distinct emptiness within its body, the pain and humiliation of having its very bloodline forcibly stripped away!
What it found even more incomprehensible was that this separation occurred without warning, and even it, as the person involved, did not notice anything unusual.

It wasn't until 20% of the bloodline essence had been lost that they belatedly realized it!
"The divine realm! It must be you who did this!"

The Golden Dragon King's crimson eyes were fixed on the outside of the seal.

"Asura! Destruction! Life! Evil! Goodness! You five despicable bastards!"

"Once I break free, I will wash the divine realm in blood and tear you all to shreds!"

Just as the Golden Dragon King was enraged, five divine lights descended from the sky!

The five supreme beings of the divine realm—the Asura God King, the Destruction God King, the Goddess of Life, the Evil God King, and the Kind God King—descended simultaneously upon the Forbidden Land of Gods!

"what happened?"

"Why is the seal suddenly in disarray?" The God of Destruction frowned as he looked at the Golden Dragon King struggling frantically.

The Asura God King's expression turned grave: "The Golden Dragon King's aura... has weakened? No... it's because a part of its bloodline essence is missing!"

After carefully sensing it, the Goddess of Life showed an incredulous expression on her beautiful face: "Indeed... about 20% of the Golden Dragon King's bloodline essence has disappeared, as if it was directly stripped and transferred away by some incomprehensible force."

"Stripping and transfer?"

"Under the seal of our five God-Kings? How is that possible!"

The evil god-king's voice was icy.

The Kind God-King pondered for a moment, then slowly said, "A mysterious celestial curtain has appeared in the lower realm of Douluo Continent, announcing various rankings and bestowing heaven-defying rewards. Could it be...?"

"The sky curtain?"

"You mean, the power that stripped the Golden Dragon King's bloodline... might have come from that celestial canopy in the lower realm?"

The Asura God King's pupils contracted.

This speculation silenced all five god-kings.

If so...

The power of that canopy was beyond their comprehension!
It was able to strip the Golden Dragon King's bloodline essence from the forbidden area of ​​the divine realm without the five god-kings noticing.

This kind of method is probably something even the Dragon God back then couldn't do!
"No matter what, reinforce the seal first!"

"We must not let the Golden Dragon King escape this opportunity!"

The God of Destruction made a decisive decision.

The five god-kings acted simultaneously, injecting five different colored god-king powers into the seal!

"Buzz!"

The seal, which had been flickering violently, stabilized again and became even stronger than before!
Sensing the seal intensifying, the Golden Dragon King roared even more furiously, "You despicable gods! Once I'm out, I'll make you pay!"

But no matter how much it struggled, the seal remained unmoved under the combined efforts of the five god-kings.

After the seal was reinforced, the five god-kings did not leave!

Instead, they gathered together with solemn expressions.

"The Golden Dragon King's bloodline is missing, the lower realm's heavens..."

The God of Destruction said in a deep voice, "There must be a connection between the two."

The Asura God-King nodded: "It seems we must reassess the threat level of that celestial canopy. It can not only affect the lower realm, but it can even directly interfere with the divine realm!"

The Goddess of Life sighed softly: "These are turbulent times. The power of the soul beasts in the lower realm is probably rising rapidly because of the Heavenly Curtain. Now even the bloodline of the Golden Dragon King has been stripped away."

"If Gu Yuena successfully fuses with the bloodlines of the Golden and Silver Dragon Kings, the complete Dragon God bloodline will be restored..."

She didn't finish her sentence, but all the gods understood what it meant.

"We must act quickly."

"The evil god-king said coldly."

"We cannot allow the situation in the lower realm to continue to spiral out of control."

The benevolent god-king hesitated: "But can we really withstand the power of that sky canopy?"

This question caused all five god-kings to fall silent.

……

Beidou Academy.

Lu Xiao looked at the rewards Gu Yuena had received on the sky, especially the 20% Golden Dragon King bloodline, and a deep meaning flashed in his eyes.

"The bloodline of the Golden Dragon King, even the Heavenly Curtain can bestow this?"

"Was it created out of thin air, or... directly separated from the divine realm?"

He whispered to himself.

If it is the former, it means that Tianmu has the ability to create the origin of a god-king level bloodline.

If it's the latter... then that's even more terrifying.

The ability to strip the Golden Dragon King's bloodline essence from the forbidden land of the gods right under the noses of the five god-kings demonstrates a level of sophistication.

"No matter which possibility it is, this sky... is not simple."

A hint of indifference flashed in Lu Xiao's eyes, but more than that, there was an interest in exploring.

He looked toward the last seat on the sky.

The top spot, radiating a chaotic purple light.

"Even the Silver Dragon King's bloodline can only rank second..."

"Then what will be number one?"

Lu Xiao murmured softly.
