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

Chapter 124 Tang San's Overestimation of His Abilities

"boom!"

Immediately afterwards, a warm and magnificent golden light descended from the sky, completely enveloping him.

He felt his sea of ​​soul power expand instantly, his bottleneck was easily broken, and his soul power level increased by one level!
The spirit rings within his body hummed, their color deepened, and their power increased exponentially.

An invisible yet real domain appeared and disappeared within a three-zhang radius around him.

A sharp sword aura permeated the air, cutting through it and emitting a faint hiss.

At the center of the domain, Ji Juechen felt his sword heart was clearer than ever before, and the longsword in his hand seemed to come alive, becoming one with his own will.

He slowly opened his eyes, and a faint smile appeared in those eyes that were usually calm and undisturbed, only becoming bright when he saw a sword.

He muttered to himself, "The Sword Maniac Domain... So, the Golden List has recognized my path."

……

In the palace.

Upon seeing the list of successful candidates, Xu Tianran's face instantly lit up with ecstatic joy.

"Excellent! Well done, Ji Juechen! First he made it onto the Genius Ranking, then he entered the Domain Ranking!"

"To glorify our nation and make our sun and moon shine brighter!"

He immediately turned to look at Jing Hongchen, who was standing respectfully beside him, and asked in an urgent and serious tone, "Sect Leader Hongchen, have you completed the task I assigned you?"

Jing Hongchen quickly bowed and replied, "Your Highness, please rest assured. Since Ji Juechen ascended to the Genius Ranking, I have followed the imperial decree and allocated some of the core resources of Mingde Hall to him, providing him with the best cultivation environment and sword manuals."

Xu Tianran nodded in satisfaction, his eyes gleaming, and said in an even more emphatical tone, "Not enough! From this day forward, all resources that Ji Juechen needs will be supplied with priority, at any cost!"

"We must cultivate him into a future pillar of our Sun Moon Empire! At the same time, we must strengthen his protection and monitoring, and absolutely not allow other forces, especially Shrek Academy and Star Luo, any opportunity to poach him or cause him any harm!"

"The minister obeys the order!"

Jing Hongchen obeyed the order with a stern expression, and in his heart, he valued that proud and aloof sword fanatic even more.

Consecutive appearances on the list, creating a new field!
This child's future achievements are truly limitless.

"Buzz!"

The golden list still shines brightly, and at the nineteenth position, golden light begins to gather.

The entire continent's attention burned even brighter as they awaited the announcement of the next sector to make the list.

The competition for the top spots in each category has only just begun.

……

In a secluded little house in Shrek City.

Tang San, who was sitting cross-legged, slowly opened his eyes, and a flash of blue-gold divine light appeared in his eyes.

It then subsided perfectly and returned to normalcy.

After three days of continuous breathing exercises and absorbing the primordial energy from the air to recover, his divine avatar has stabilized and solidified.

The feeling of ethereal dissipation disappeared, and the icy poison in his chest was gradually worn away by the powerful sea god's divine power.

However, his expression was even more serious than before.

Looking up at the golden list in the sky, the sudden burst of light and majesty...

"Twentieth place, Ji Juechen, Sword Maniac Domain... Self-comprehension reward: Soul Power Level, Soul Ring Age, Domain Insight!"

Tang San repeated the information from the list of successful candidates in a low voice, his eyes sharp as knives.

"The reward directly affects the soul and origin, enhancing the foundation; this level of power..."

He carefully sensed the fluctuations in rewards that permeated the world as the list of winners was announced, fluctuations that were difficult for ordinary people to detect.

It was a power of unparalleled purity, seemingly originating from the very source of the world, yet transcending all existing laws.

"Supreme...surpassing all known power systems in the Douluo Continent and even the God Realm!"

Tang San's heart was filled with turmoil.

As a god-king, he had witnessed the power of the divine realm's central authority, but the way the golden list bestowed its power and the nature of its power at this moment made him feel an unfathomable sense of unfamiliarity and... awe.

"No, we must find out the details!"

A strong desire to explore and a sense of crisis drove him.

The existence of this golden list has completely exceeded the expectations and control of the divine realm.

It could even threaten the very foundation of the divine realm!

If we can't even find out its source, how can we talk about how to deal with it?
He flashed and appeared silently on the roof of the cabin.

He looked up, his gaze fixed on the dark golden star, and deep within his pupils, a purple-gold light began to slowly rotate.

The Purple Demon Eye! He wants to see through the surface of this golden list and understand its inner power structure and source!

Taking a deep breath, Tang San adjusted himself to his best condition.

Immediately, a pure and refined power of the sea god, which he had deliberately suppressed to an extremely low level, mixed with his vast spiritual power.

"Buzz!"

It transformed into an invisible, intangible, and exquisitely delicate ripple, quietly spreading towards the golden list high in the sky.

This probing power bypassed the brilliance and oppressive aura emanating from the golden list, attempting to directly access and analyze its core from the perspective of the laws.

However, when his probing power was still a hundred miles away from the Golden List, and had not even truly touched the outer halo of the Golden List!
"Buzz!"

An indescribable, vast, and majestic pressure, as powerful as the heavens themselves, arose out of nowhere, silently.

Following Tang San's probing power, it crushed in the opposite direction!

"what!"

Tang San's expression changed drastically!

Before he could even react, he felt as if his soul had been struck by an invisible giant hammer, and the condensed probing ripples shattered instantly!
The oppressive force did not stop; like an invisible tsunami, it continued to assault his body and soul!
"puff!"

Tang San grunted and staggered backward uncontrollably.

The hard roof tiles beneath his feet silently turned to dust, and he retreated more than a dozen steps.

The divine sense that had just stabilized within his body was violently shaken again, even more severely than when he was struck by the Snow Emperor!

This was merely being "affected" by the oppressive aura, not being directly hit!

He steadied himself, looked up at the golden list in the sky, his eyes filled with unprecedented shock and disbelief.

"How is that possible? I haven't even actually touched it, it's just a tentative sensory contact..."

Tang San's voice trembled slightly, almost imperceptibly.

"This pressure... is pure, ancient, and supreme. Even if the five great god-kings combined their power, they could never give me such an irresistible and fundamental sense of oppression!"

An idea that sent shivers down his spine uncontrollably surfaced in his mind:

"The origin of this golden list... could it be even above the God King? Surpassing the known levels of the God Realm?"

This thought sent a chill down his spine.

If that's the case, then all their previous guesses and coping strategies may have been fundamentally wrong!

Faced with beings of this level, the power of the God-King appears so insignificant.

The so-called strategic planning and confrontation...

Perhaps it's like a mayfly trying to shake a tree.

A strong sense of frustration and resentment welled up inside me.

Tang San, who had overcome countless obstacles to become a god and a king, had never encountered such an incomprehensible and insurmountable being.

Are we just going to stand by and watch the Golden List change the continent, affect our daughter, and even threaten the divine realm?

Yet I can't even get to the bottom of it?
But he is, after all, Tang San, the Sea God and Asura God who has endured countless trials of life and death and whose mind is as resilient as divine iron.

After a brief period of shock and helplessness, reason quickly regained its advantage.

"We must not act rashly!"

He forced himself to calm down, slowly adjusted his breathing, and quelled his turbulent thoughts.

"The previous probing has proven that a direct investigation is suicidal."

"The power of this golden list is far beyond my imagination. I'm afraid my avatar can't even withstand the aftershocks of a single formal counterattack."

He gazed intently at the gold list, watching it continue to announce the information for the nineteenth-ranked field.

Golden light flowed, its majesty boundless.

"The most urgent task is to keep ourselves hidden and continue to gather intelligence, especially to pay attention to the subsequent rankings in the field."

“Observe which people and soul beasts are on the list, what rewards they receive, and analyze the selection criteria of the Golden List.”

"At the same time, secretly investigate the connection between that mysterious Kunpeng 'Lu Zun' and the Golden List... Perhaps, the breakthrough lies there."

He took one last deep look at the list of successful candidates, burying the shock and apprehension deep in his heart.

The list of successful candidates still hangs high, its brilliance illuminating the continent!

He seemed completely unconcerned about the insignificant yet extraordinary spying from the God-King.

Or perhaps, everything is under control.
