Chapter 424 - 423 The Strength of the Storm Dragon King

The realm of gods at this time.

The atmosphere was already heavy and oppressive, with the five great god-kings gathered in the central hub of the god realm.

Through the realm of gods, they stared intently at the golden sky above Douluo Continent, their expressions more serious than ever before.

The central hall of the divine realm was resplendent with light and color, yet it could not conceal the tense aura emanating from the god-kings.

The God of Life was dressed in a long emerald green dress, and his body was surrounded by a rich aura of life.

At this moment, her beautiful face was filled with melancholy and worry. Her gaze was fixed on the constantly refreshing names of the gods on the sky. She spoke softly, her voice full of solemnity.

"Everyone, the situation on Douluo Continent has completely spiraled out of our control."

"Because of Lu Xiao's appearance, coupled with the previous fusion of the plane origins of Douluo Continent and the Abyss Plane, which brought about an extraordinary opportunity, the power structure of the entire continent has undergone earth-shattering changes."

"Human Soul Masters have successively broken through to the God level, and the Soul Beast race has even given birth to several true million-year Soul Beasts."

"In addition to the powerful figures we already know, several divine artifacts have appeared one after another, and even god-king level divine skills have frequently appeared. This is a big problem."

The God King of Life cares most about the beings in the plane, but the explosive emergence of powerful figures in Douluo Continent has already broken the balance of power between mortals and the divine realm.

This is definitely not a good thing; it could very well cause chaos in the rules of heaven and earth.

Beside him stood the God of Destruction, surrounded by an aura of destruction as black as ink, his face stern and his eyes icy.

Upon hearing this, his expression grew even more serious, and he said in a deep voice, "In the end, it was because when the planes merged, the primal forces of the two planes collided with each other, temporarily shielding the perception of the divine realm and severing the pull of the heavenly tribulation."

"Under normal circumstances, if a soul beast dares to break through a million years, the divine tribulation will surely descend as scheduled. With their strength, they simply cannot withstand it and will surely die."

"Unfortunately, they took advantage of this dimensional opportunity to escape a calamity and successfully achieve the level of a million-year god."

"However, now that the origin of the Douluo Continent plane has been stabilized and the rules of heaven and earth have resumed operation, if any soul beast attempts to break through a million years in the future, the lightning tribulation will definitely not show mercy, and they will no longer have such a lucky chance."

The God of Destruction, who wields the power of destruction, is known for his strictness and harbors deep resentment towards the fact that soul beasts on the Douluo Continent have broken through to the god level and disrupted the balance.

However, due to the rules of the plane, they cannot directly intervene.

The Asura God King, located in the very center of the hall, was surrounded by scarlet Asura divine power, his face expressionless, his eyes as deep as an abyss.

No one can see through his thoughts.

After the God of Destruction finished speaking, he slowly opened his mouth, his voice cold and indifferent, yet it went straight to the heart of the matter.

"There's no need to dwell on the past. Just keep watching. Even Li Bai, who achieved the status of a first-level god, is only ranked seventh, which is enough to prove that the six people ranked ahead of him are far stronger than we imagined."

"Currently, the only three people we know who are qualified to be among the top six are Lu Xiao, the dean of Beidou Academy, Gu Yuena, the master of soul beasts, and the Golden Dragon King."

"But what about the remaining three? Are they human soul masters, or hidden powerhouses from the soul beast race? And what level of strength have they reached?"

These words caused an immediate and deathly silence to fall over the hall.

The faces of the four god-kings—the Kind God King, the Evil God King, the Life God King, and the Destruction God King—all turned extremely ugly, their hearts filled with turbulent waves.

They instantly realized the seriousness of the situation.

The top six on the list of deities are all beings far surpassing first-level deities.

There is even a possibility that there are half-step God-Kings, or even true God-Kings!

In this way, in terms of high-end combat power, the strength of Douluo Continent is almost catching up with that of the God Realm!

The power of Douluo Continent surpasses that of the God Realm, something that has never happened since the birth of heaven and earth.

Once out of control, the very foundation of the divine realm's rule will be shaken, and the rules of heaven and earth will completely collapse.

This is a scene that the five great god-kings would never want to see, no matter what.

"Continue to observe and do not act rashly. Lu Xiao's strength is unfathomable. Taking action rashly will only trigger a war in the God Realm, with unimaginable consequences."

The Asura God-King spoke again, setting the tone.

The others remained silent, staring intently at the sky, waiting for the top six to be revealed.

Compared to the solemn and oppressive atmosphere of the God Realm, the atmosphere in Douluo Continent is much more lively.

Everyone's anticipation was at its peak, eager to know who this peerless expert was who ranked ahead of Li Bai.

"Boom boom boom!"

Finally, under the watchful eyes of everyone, the golden sky above once again burst forth with dazzling golden light!

This time, the golden light was interwoven with four colors of light: cyan, blue, purple, and white, corresponding to wind, rain, thunder, and lightning, respectively.

An immense pressure that controls the heavens and the earth and governs the laws of nature descended from the sky and swept across the entire Douluo Continent!

The raging winds, torrential rains, thunder, and lightning of the world all became docile at this moment, as if they were worshipping this supreme power.

All living beings on the continent felt a sense of awe and wanted to submit to its rule.

A golden light curtain swirled, and the sixth-ranked deity on the Gods' List made a stunning entrance!

[Ranking on the Gods - Sixth Place: Storm Dragon King]

[Ranking Commentary: The guardian beast of Beidou Academy, it wields the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth, controls the natural laws such as wind, rain, thunder, and lightning, and is the embodiment of Heaven and Earth, possessing peak combat power of a first-level deity.]

[Ranking Reward: 1% Celestial Authority Power]

The list was released with only one comment and one reward, yet it plunged the entire Douluo Continent into an instant silence.

An uproar erupted immediately!

"Storm Dragon King! It's actually the guardian beast of Beidou Academy!"

"I remember now, it was listed on the Soul Beast Power Ranking before, with unparalleled strength. I didn't expect it to actually break through to the first level of godhood and even rank sixth!"

"Peak of a first-level deity! Even stronger than Li Bai, this is terrifying!"

"..."

The entire continent was in an uproar, and all forces were shocked.

Everyone remembers that in the previous list of strongest soul beasts, the Storm Dragon King had already displayed formidable strength, ranking among the top soul beasts and reaching the level of a second-level god.

But no one expected that this dimensional opportunity would allow it to break through to the peak of a first-level god, surpassing Li Bai and ranking sixth on the god list!

But soon, the shock in everyone's hearts was replaced by deep doubt and confusion.

Everyone noticed something strange!

The Storm Dragon King's reward is only one thing!

It should be noted that all the previously listed god-level powerhouses received at least two rewards, and some received three or four.

It includes all sorts of incredible gifts such as divine artifacts, divine skills, divine items, and bloodline enhancements.

The Storm Dragon King, ranked sixth, only received one reward: 1% Celestial Authority Power.

This left everyone completely baffled.

"What's going on? There's only one reward for sixth place?"

"What exactly is this power of celestial authority? Why have I never heard of it before?"
