Douluo Continent: Breaking the Million-Year Barrier, the Golden Ranking Exposes Me

Chapter 112 Niu Tian Makes the List
Ye Xishui suddenly laughed, her smile filled with icy mockery: "So, our Holy Spirit Sect has been plotting for a thousand years to rule the continent... only to have the Golden List tell us that we don't even have the qualifications to participate?"

No one answered.

Because that's what it is.

……

at this time!

The sixth line of the list suddenly shone with golden light.

It wasn't the imagined darkness that engulfed everything, but rather a completely opposite, yet equally suffocating, majesty.

The light turned from dark to blue, and then from blue to gold!

It finally settled into a bluish-gold color, as if the sky had been torn apart!

The light carried the ancient sounds of dragon roars, thunderous roars, and the fury of the heavens.

[Power Ranking, 6th Place: Niu Tian]

[Affiliation: Haotian Sect]

[Soul Power Level: Level 99, Limit Douluo]

[Martial Soul: Azure Dragon (Awakened Divine Bloodline, Manifestation of Thunder and the Sky)]

[Combat Power Assessment: Within this domain, one can briefly transform into the will of the heavens, manipulating thunderstorms across thousands of miles and rewriting local celestial phenomena. Its dragon might has absolute suppression over all sub-dragon species and beast martial souls; its true combat power surpasses the conventional definition of a Limit Douluo.]

[Reward: One Soul Bone worth 150,000, Azure Dragon Bloodline increased by 20%, Thunder Power Comprehension tripled!]

The moment the words appeared, most of the dragon-type martial soul masters on the continent...

Regardless of their cultivation level or location, everyone involuntarily knelt down.

It wasn't coercion or intimidation, but rather the very source of their bloodline bowing to a higher being.

The Azure Bull Python transformed into human form and underwent a 100,000-year reconstruction, becoming the Haotian Sect.

silence.

A more complete silence than when the Snow Emperor froze Titan.

"Niu Tian...sixth?"

"Those top five..."

As is widely known, the Golden Ranking of Battle Power records nearly a thousand years of battle achievements.

Tang Hao, who ranks first on the Soul Master Power Ranking, has not made a move for tens of thousands of years.

Niu Tian was ranked second on the Soul Master Power Ranking, but now he's ranked sixth!
Who are the top five?
The answer is laid bare before everyone:

The top five are all soul beasts.

And it's not just "maybe," it's 100% certain.

Because among the human faction, only Tang Hao can theoretically compete for a top-five spot.

However, Tang Hao was excluded from the power ranking because he "had not made a move for a long time".

"so……"

"Shrek Academy," a disciple of the inner court said, his voice trembling.

"Our best achievement as humankind..."

"It's sixth place."

His companion finished speaking for him, his voice as calm as death.

"Moreover, this sixth place... was achieved by Senior Niu Tian, ​​who was transformed from a soul beast and rebuilt his cultivation."

……

"Ugh!"

Niu Tian looked at his name on the list of successful candidates, his eyes showing no surprise, only a sense of weariness that had finally settled.

Before him, the ice sculpture formed from the Titan was slowly melting.

The thawing energy accompanying the teleportation of the Golden List is very gentle, avoiding secondary damage to the source.

Even so, Titan's aura was extremely weak and it would take a long time to recover.

"Big brother..."

A faint spiritual fluctuation emanated from the ice sculpture.

"I...have disgraced the sect."

"Do not."

Niu Tian reached out and pressed down on the ice sculpture, slowly channeling his Azure Dragon power into it to accelerate the thawing process.

“You did a great job, you proved... how big the gap is between us and the real top.”

He looked up at the top five spots on the list, but the rows were still empty.

Several names flashed through my mind.

Evil Emperor, Emperor Tian, ​​Gu Yuena, Lu Chen...

"Actually, I knew it all along."

Niu Tian muttered to himself softly.

"When the list ranked you eighth and Xue Di seventh... I knew that my position would be sixth at best."

He understood it because of Xue Di's sword strike.

Even he would need to expend a great deal of effort to defend himself! "We have cultivated for tens of thousands of years."

Niu Tian spoke to the gradually recovering Titan, as if he were speaking to himself.

"From a 100,000-year-old soul beast, I transformed into human form and began cultivating again, joining a human sect, learning human combat methods, and integrating human wisdom..."

"They thought that this would allow them to catch up with those ancient beings."

"The results tell us—"

"We haven't even caught a glimpse of them yet."

……

Shrek Academy.

Moon slowly sat back in his chair; this time, he truly looked old.

It's not the body, it's the belief.

"Pass the order."

Moon's voice was soft, but every word carried immense weight.

From this day forward, all elders of the Sea God Pavilion and all disciples of the Inner Court are prohibited from discussing topics related to 'war against soul beasts'.

He looked at everyone in the room: "That wasn't a war, it was a one-sided purge."

……

Ontology.

Du Bu Si looked at the words "Sixth Place: Niu Tian" on the sky and suddenly burst into laughter.

He laughed maniacally, laughing until tears streamed down his face.

"I thought... I thought we humans could at least be in the top five!"

"The result! The best result ever! Sixth place! And it was a transformed soul beast!"

The laughter turned into sobs.

"He practiced his whole life... reached level ninety-eight... and achieved physical sainthood..."

He looked up, his eyes bloodshot and filled with confusion.

"So, you don't even qualify to be someone else's stepping stone...?"

……

at this time!

The cyan-gold light in the sixth row of the Golden List had just stabilized.

A new line of text then emerged beneath it, the flowing characters carrying an inviolable force of rules.

[Snow Empress, are you going to challenge the sixth-ranked Niu Tian?]

The eyes of the entire continent were once again focused, holding their breath in concentration.

The far northern core.

The Snow Emperor slowly raised her eyes, her icy blue pupils reflecting the words of the golden list, yet showing no emotion whatsoever.

It was as if the "right to challenge upwards," which was enough to drive any Limit Douluo crazy, was just an insignificant snowflake.

She didn't even think for more than a breath.

A clear, resolute voice resounded throughout the heavens and earth:

"No challenges."

The Titan Snow Demon Bear standing to the side couldn't understand why the Snow Empress gave up the challenge.

Snow Empress saw through Titan Snow Demon Bear's thoughts and slowly said, "By defeating Titan, I have already received double the reward from the Golden List."

Xue Di's voice calmly stated the facts.

"Seven hundred and seventy thousand years of cultivation, as well as other rewards from the Golden List... these powers need time to be digested, stabilized, and transformed into my foundation."

"At this moment, rashly challenging for a higher position is risky and the outcome is uncertain. Moreover, being too eager to achieve results may shake the foundation and result in more harm than good."

“Niu Tian ranks sixth. His Azure Dragon bloodline has touched the divine level barrier, and his combat power is extraordinary.”

The Snow Empress's gaze seemed to pierce through endless space, landing in the direction of the Haotian Sect.

"Even if I win, it probably won't be easy. It would easily deplete my resources and expose my trump card."

"And the top five on the gold list have not yet been announced..."

She paused slightly, and even the biting wind of the far north seemed to freeze for a moment.

"The real formidable enemies are not those ranked next to or next on the list. The soul beast race seeks far more than just the empty fame on this mere list."

There's one last reason!
The Snow Emperor did not say it aloud.

Only a fleeting, chilling glint flashed in her deep, icy eyes.

The list of successful candidates has suddenly appeared, stirring up a storm across the mainland.

Revealing ancient secrets.

Its power and origins were so profound that even someone like her, who had touched the threshold of godhood, found them unfathomable.

How could such an extraordinary phenomenon be completely hidden from the eyes and ears of the high and mighty gods?
