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

Chapter 41 Doubts about the Holy Spirit Cult

Amidst the fluctuating emotions of various forces on the mainland.

Amidst much speculation.

The golden list in the sky once again burst forth with dazzling golden light.

The new rankings have finally been revealed!

[Douluo Continent Martial Soul Ranking, Number Fourteen: Blood Soul Demon Puppet!]

On the fourteenth line of the list of successful candidates, a burst of blood shot into the sky.

An intense, overwhelming aura of blood and resentment permeated the air, as if countless wronged souls were wailing.

Amidst the blood-red light, a figure appeared blurry and indistinct.

The eerie phantom of a demonic puppet, twisted and intertwined with countless tormented souls, appeared and disappeared intermittently.

Its sinister and powerful aura caused countless Soul Masters to feel trembling.

[Martial Soul: Blood Soul Demon Puppet]

[Owner: Ye Xishui (Holy Spirit Cult)]

[Martial Soul Assessment: A special evil martial soul forged from the blood and souls of countless living beings. It possesses both powerful physical attacks and a bizarre ability to erode the spirit. It can continuously grow by devouring souls and blood, possessing immense potential and extreme evil. The possessor, through this martial soul and special encounters, has already reached the Limit Douluo realm. Overall assessment: Ranked fourteenth.]

[Reward: Refinement of the Demon Puppet's essence, increased soul control, enhanced resistance to mental attacks, and acquisition of the secret technique "Blood Soul Explosion" (which can instantly detonate a portion of the Demon Puppet's essence, generating a wide-area soul impact and physical explosion).]

"Blood Soul Demon Puppet! It's the martial soul of that Supreme Leader of the Holy Spirit Cult!"

"My God, how could such an extremely evil martial soul be on the list?"

"And... he's only ranked fourteenth? Ye Xishui is a Limit Douluo!"

"The fact that this spirit can enable a Soul Master to break through to the Limit Douluo realm is undoubtedly powerful, which also proves its terrifying potential. How come it didn't even make it into the top ten?"

The Soul Masters on the mainland were in an uproar.

There was both astonishment at the inclusion of the Evil Martial Soul on the list and disbelief at its ranking.

In the eyes of many people.

A martial soul capable of creating a Limit Douluo should be ranked extremely high.

……

Holy Spirit Church.

When Zhongli Wu saw that Ye Xishui's martial soul was on the list, he first showed a hint of joy.

But this was quickly replaced by deep doubt: "The Blood Soul Demon Puppet is only fourteenth? How is that possible!"

"With this martial spirit, my mother dominated the world and reached the pinnacle. Given its power and uniqueness, how could she not even make it into the top ten?"

Ye Xishui looked at the list of successful candidates and let out a soft snort.

The reward beam, containing pure, malevolent energy, descended.

She could feel her Blood Soul Puppet becoming more solid, and her control over the soul was now as responsive as her own limbs.

The "Blood Soul Explosion" technique is even more insidious and ruthless, a true trump card in desperate situations.

Their strength has indeed improved.

But there was little joy on her face; instead, her brows were furrowed.

"My Blood Soul Demon Puppet, in terms of growth potential and power, I believe it is no weaker than others... yet it is only ranked fourteenth?"

Her mind raced with thoughts.

"Could it be because I possess twin martial souls? Does the Golden Ranking consider the ultimate potential of a single martial soul?"

"Or perhaps... there are even more heaven-defying martial spirits hidden on this continent, spirits that I myself have never known?"

Although she broke through her limits thanks to the advantages of twin martial souls and special opportunities.

But deep down, he was extremely proud of his main martial soul, the Blood Soul Demon Puppet.

Her ranking was lower than expected, which surprised and puzzled her.

A strong sense of defiance and curiosity also arose.

She would like to see it.

Who exactly is the person at the front of the line?
……

Shrek Academy, Poseidon Pavilion.

The atmosphere inside the pavilion suddenly tensed when the names "Blood Soul Demon Puppet" and "Ye Xishui" were seen.

Yan Shaozhe said in a deep voice, "Ye Xishui's martial soul is also on the list, number fourteen..."

Xuanzi snorted coldly: "Hmph! Even heretics and evil spirits can make it onto the list. This golden list is truly 'fair'!"

Mu En slowly said, "The Golden List assessment only considers the essence and potential of a martial soul, without distinguishing between good and evil. Ye Xishui was able to cultivate to the limit with this martial soul, which shows that her martial soul itself is indeed extraordinary."

"Now that she has received an award, her strength is probably even greater than before, which is definitely not good news for us."

Upon hearing this, Xian Lin'er and the others' expressions became even more solemn.

The threat posed to the continent by an enhanced Limit Douluo-level evil soul master is self-evident.

Their slightly relaxed mood, which had just been eased by Ye Xishui's failure to rank in the top ten, tightened up again.

……

Before everyone could recover from the shock of the "Blood Soul Demon Puppet," the golden list shone brightly once more.

The speed seems to be a fraction faster than before!
[Douluo Continent Martial Soul Ranking, 13th Place: Death God Demon Puppet!]

The thirteenth line of the list of successful candidates in the imperial examinations was pierced by a burst of dark light.

That light was not pure darkness.

Instead, it carries a sense of death and annihilation, signifying the end of all things and the harvest of everything!

A phantom of a demonic puppet, even more solid, majestic, and terrifying than the Blood Soul Demon Puppet, appeared.

It was draped in a tattered black cloak and held a huge, illusory scythe, like a messenger of death from the underworld.

Its power far surpassed that of the previous Blood Soul Demon Puppet!

[Martial Soul: Death God Demon Puppet]

[Owner: Zhongliwu (Holy Spirit Cult)]

[Martial Soul Assessment: The Blood Soul Demon Puppet's advanced and mutated form touches upon the rules of death at a deeper level, possessing terrifying abilities such as directly attacking the soul's origin, manipulating the dead, devouring all things, and spreading a death plague. Its martial soul essence is extremely high, with immense growth potential, making it one of the world's top-tier evil martial souls. Overall, it ranks thirteenth.]

[Reward: Increased affinity with the rules of death, enhanced soul harvesting efficiency, temporary summoning of a "Death Projection" to assist in combat (the projection possesses some power of the rules of death), and a 5% increase in the power of all soul skills.]

"Death God Puppet! Zhongli Wu, leader of the Holy Spirit Cult!"

"Another Holy Spirit Cult martial spirit! And ranked even higher than Ye Xishui's!"

"This...this Death God Puppet is actually this terrifying? It directly touches upon the rules of death?"

"Even Zhongli Wu's martial soul can only rank thirteenth? The martial souls of the two giants of the Holy Spirit Sect are not even in the top ten?"

If Ye Xishui's ranking is surprising...

Zhongliwu's ranking caused great surprise and bewilderment throughout the continent, including the Holy Spirit Cult itself.

……

The Holy Spirit Church's main hall.

Zhongli Wu's smile froze completely.

Instead, there was disbelief and a deep-seated anger.

"thirteenth?"

"My Death God Puppet is the perfect sublimation of the Blood Soul Puppet, a supreme existence that is closer to the origin of death!"

"In this Douluo Continent, apart from a handful of legendary martial souls, I believe I am second to none!"

"How could he only be thirteenth? He didn't even make it into the top ten?"

He was extremely puzzled.

An intense aura of death emanated from him uncontrollably, causing the temperature inside the hall to plummet.

In his view, his Death God Puppet was superior in terms of potential, rarity, and the level of rules.

They all absolutely deserve to be in the top ten.

Even in the top five!

He couldn't accept this result!

Ye Xishui's confused voice rang out, tinged with a hint of seriousness.

“Wu’er, calm down. This list of names… seems to be more profound than we imagined.”

"Our martial spirit is strong, but there may indeed be some martial spirits ahead that are beyond our knowledge and understanding."

Long Xiaoyao also spoke slowly, his voice deep: "We are well aware of the power of the Death God Puppet. There must be a reason for its ranking on the Golden List."

"It seems that the waters of Douluo Continent are much deeper than we perceive."

Even he felt a sense of dread.

……

Shrek Academy, Poseidon Pavilion.

"The Death God's Puppet, the thirteenth?"

Yan Shaozhe gasped.

“Zhong Liwu’s martial spirit is ranked higher than Ye Xishui’s, and the Golden List clearly points out that it has violated the ‘rules of death’.”

"Such a bizarre and powerful martial spirit can't even make it into the top ten?"

Xuanzi's face was grim: "These two evil soul master leaders have both received rewards, greatly increasing their strength. They will be even more difficult to deal with in the future!"

Moon's deep eyes gleamed with wisdom: "This ranking shows that the criteria for the Gold List are extremely rigorous."

"It doesn't entirely depend on the current owner's strength, nor does it entirely depend on the known destructive power of the martial soul."

"Although the Death God Puppet is powerful, it may have some limitations in its 'origin' or 'development direction' and has failed to meet the standards of the top ten martial souls."

Elder Lin added, "Elder Mu is absolutely right, and the fact that two evil martial spirits have made it onto the list and ranked quite high also confirms the objectivity of the Golden List."

"It ranks the martial spirit itself, not its good or evil attributes."

"This is both a warning to us and an opportunity to re-understand the world."
