Above the skies of Heavenly Path Academy, the golden radiance bestowed by the Golden Rankings grew ever more blazing, finally condensing into a brilliant pillar of light that pierced heaven and earth, dyeing the entire firmament in molten gold.
The Heaven Piercing Divine Spear in Yun Ming's grasp suddenly expanded. Its twelve zhang long shaft was covered in intricate gilded patterns, while the sharp radiance erupting from its spear tip tore through thick clouds, triggering surging heavenly phenomena.
Seven colored auspicious clouds appeared across the clear sky for tens of thousands of miles. Golden rain poured down from the heavens, each droplet carrying pure, flawless divine power, transforming into wisps of sacred mist the moment it touched the ground.
"With my soul, I forge my god!"
Yun Ming let out a long roar that rang like clashing metal. The quasi god level soul power within his body erupted like a tsunami, intertwining with the golden light descending from the Golden Rankings and transforming into torrents of golden red energy that filled the sky.
His hands formed seals at lightning speed. Threads of golden divine markings surged from his brow, spreading like living beings along his meridians to every corner of his body, before gathering entirely upon the Heaven Piercing Divine Spear.
The spear trembled violently, releasing an ear splitting hum, as a towering phantom slowly rose from within it.
Clad in golden armor, holding a long spear, wings spread wide behind its back, divine light swirling around its form, its God King pressure swept across the entire continent like raging waves, causing countless living beings to tremble in fear.
The final bottleneck of divine position construction shattered in an instant.
Yun Ming's aura soared explosively. God King tier divine pressure surged outward like a tsunami. Wherever it passed, mountains bowed, rivers halted, and the laws of heaven and earth resonated in response.
He slowly opened his eyes. Stars revolved within them, divine radiance flowing endlessly, his voice carrying the heavy majesty of divinity.
"Today, I create the Heaven Piercing Divine Path and ascend as the Heaven Piercing God King!"
The instant his words fell, the golden light upon the Golden Rankings flared violently. Lines of ancient, powerful divine script slowly emerged, their sound echoing across heaven and earth.
[Heaven Piercing God King takes position. Divine rank: God King tier. Level temporarily set at 100. Bestow blessing upon heaven and earth. Continental soul master cultivation speed increased by thirty percent. Heavenly Path Academy area receives double amplification.]
The pillar of light gradually dispersed. Yun Ming hovered in midair, divinity drifting around him like a veil, his fluttering robes revealing the bearing of a true God King.
Within Heavenly Path Academy, cheers instantly shook the skies and surged straight into the heavens.
Ya Li, holding the Life Scepter, swiftly flew to his side. Pride and joy filled her delicate face, her voice trembling with excitement.
"Brother Ming, congratulations. A hundred years of effort has finally fulfilled your ambition of creating your own divine position. The God King throne truly belongs to you."
Li Tianyi followed closely behind, cupping his hands with a smile, his eyes filled with admiration.
It had to be said that Yun Ming's talent was truly terrifying. Even without the rewards bestowed by the Martial Soul Rankings, in an era when the God Realm still existed, his successful creation of a divine position was only a matter of time.
"Very good. Becoming a god at level one hundred, reaching the ultimate limit of soul masters."
Ye Lingling gazed at Yun Ming's figure overlooking all living beings, her heart shaken beyond measure. The slight lack of confidence she once had in her own martial soul vanished completely, replaced by a blazing determination to advance.
Beside her, Shui Bing'er felt unbearably embarrassed. Thinking back to her earlier pride, the comparison now made her realize she could not even match a fraction of Yun Ming.
Inside the Hall of Worship, Qian Daoliu, Qingluan Douluo, Golden Lion Douluo, and the others sensed the vast God King pressure and instantly turned pale, the soul power within their bodies nearly falling into chaos.
"God… God King tier?"
Qingluan Douluo trembled from head to toe, his voice filled with disbelief.
"To think that creating one's own divine position could reach such a terrifying height. What kind of monster is this Yun Ming?"
Qian Daoliu's pupils contracted sharply. A chill ran down his spine, cold sweat soaking his robes.
"No wonder Xue'er temporarily canceled the plan. Such an existence, forget the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect. Even if Spirit Hall exhausted all its strength, it might still not be his match, and could even invite utter annihilation."
Qian Daoliu clenched his fists tightly, his nails digging deep into his palms until blood flowed, yet he felt nothing.
As the guardian of the Angel God, he had pursued the pinnacle of divinity his entire life. Yet Yun Ming's achievements had already equaled, or even surpassed, the Angel God divine position passed down for countless ages.
"God King…"
He murmured, his voice carrying bitterness and confusion, a profound sense of powerlessness arising in his heart for the first time.
"Xue'er's future path to godhood will likely be far more difficult than imagined."
Inside a luxurious carriage heading toward the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, Qian Renxue felt that sweeping pressure and abruptly stood up from her seat, her face deathly pale, completely devoid of color.
The small angel sword at her brow trembled violently, emitting a mournful hum. It was reverence and dread originating from the depths of her soul.
"Creating a divine position, God King tier…"
Qian Renxue's voice shook uncontrollably. Her former arrogance and pride were completely crushed, leaving nothing behind.
"Such a figure, even if I recover the full strength of the Angel God and go all out, I might not be able to win, and could even be easily suppressed."
Golden Crocodile Douluo's voice sounded from beside her, deep and heavy.
"Xue'er, from the looks of it now, the existences ranked in the Golden Rankings top three may also have reached the God King level, or perhaps even stronger."
Qian Renxue slowly nodded, her eyes filled with gravity and wariness as she looked in the direction of Heavenly Path Academy, lost in thought.
"To make the Golden Rankings value them so highly, the top three must conceal even more terrifying existences."
"Perhaps they are ancient gods who have hidden for countless ages and returned through reincarnation. Perhaps, like Yun Ming, they have walked a unique God King path of their own."
"No matter what, the waters of this continent run far deeper than I imagined, and the future structure will be completely rewritten."
She already understood that the future of the continent was destined to be even more brilliant than her own era.
The divine pressure from Yun Ming's ascension and the blessings of heaven and earth bestowed by the Golden Rankings spread like a tide, instantly reaching every corner of the Douluo Continent.
Whether it was low level soul masters in remote villages who had just awakened their martial souls, the imperial nobles and rulers of great empires, or powerful soul masters from hidden sects who had been in seclusion for decades, all clearly sensed that unimaginable divine pressure and the suddenly enriched spiritual energy of heaven and earth.
"That is… the aura of a god. What terrifying power!"
"Yun Ming of Heavenly Path Academy. He truly succeeded in creating his own divine position and reached the God King tier."
"Heaven and earth blessings. Continental soul master cultivation speed increased by thirty percent, and Heavenly Path Academy even doubled. What an immeasurable fortune!"
Discussions spread like a tidal wave, sweeping across the entire continent.
All major forces urgently mobilized personnel, dispatching elites to investigate Heavenly Path Academy's location and gather detailed information.
The entire continent was completely boiling, billions of living beings shaken to their core.
Everyone understood that an era belonging to gods had officially arrived.
And the mysterious suspense of the Martial Soul Rankings top three made everyone both eager with anticipation and filled with deep reverence.
An existence ranked above the God King Yun Ming. Just how terrifying could it possibly be?
The Martial Soul Rankings updated once more, and this time, the update revealed one of the terrifying existences of the top three.
