Ten Great Ferocious Beasts Make the Ranking One After Another

[Douluo Continent Soul Beast Power Ranking, Fifteenth Place: Hell Demon Dragon King · Zi Ji!]

Deep purple-black flames ignited on the fifteenth line of the Golden Ranking, and a long, elegant dragon silhouette appeared, radiating an aura of ultimate destruction.

Her entire body was covered in purple-black dragon scales, her dragon eyes were crimson, and Hell Demon Fire swirled around her, as if she were a demon dragon monarch from the Nine Hells.

Before everyone could even recover from their shock.

Immediately afterward, golden light gathered again, directly announcing the next soul beast powerhouse.

[Douluo Continent Soul Beast Power Ranking, Fourteenth Place: Three-Headed Crimson Demon Mastiff · Scarlet King!]

Blazing crimson light erupted from the fourteenth line of the Golden Ranking, and the phantom of a giant hound with three savage heads and undying crimson flames burning all around it threw back its head and roared!

The three heads each controlled different powers, their aura violent and scorching.

[Name: Scarlet King]

[Reward: Crimson Flame Origin Purification, Soul Beast Year Increase of 40,000 years, Three-Headed Talent Synchronization Enhancement!]

Zi Ji and Scarlet King making the ranking, along with Cultivation Years that far surpassed human records.

Did not bring a new fear of the unknown.

Instead, many human factions sank into even deeper confusion and suspicion.

"Zi Ji, 340,000 years! Scarlet King, 380,000 years!"

Inside Sea God's Pavilion, Yan Shaozhe cried out in shock, "How is that possible? According to the academy's most confidential records, during the last confirmation three thousand years ago, Zi Ji's cultivation should not have exceeded 210,000 years, and Scarlet King was only around 250,000 years!"

"It's only been three thousand years. How could they have improved so much?"

Xian Lin'er also looked utterly incredulous. "The further soul beasts progress in cultivation, the harder it becomes. After one hundred thousand years, every increase of ten thousand years requires an immense amount of time and tremendous fortune."

"To increase by over a hundred thousand years in three thousand years... that completely defies common sense!"

Xuan Zi slammed the table. "Something's wrong! Very wrong! Demon Spirit is 280,000 years, Zi Ji is 340,000 years, and Scarlet King is 380,000 years!"

"The cultivation of all these fellows has surged by a huge margin compared to what we knew!"

"Something earth-shattering that we don't know about must have happened in the Star Dou Great Forest!"

Mu En's aged brows were tightly furrowed as he slowly said, "The speed at which their strength has increased is indeed strangely fast. It seems the secrets deep within Star Dou are far more shocking than we imagined."

"Perhaps this... is related to those two Supreme Bloodlines surnamed 'Lu' from before."

Elder Song said in a deep voice, "We must find out the reason as soon as possible! If the Star Dou Great Forest has mastered some method that can rapidly increase a soul beast's cultivation,"

"then the threat it poses to the entire continent will be far more terrifying than the appearance of one or two unknown powerhouses!"

Sun Moon Empire, Mingde Hall.

Jing Hongchen looked at the Golden Ranking, his face so dark it seemed water could drip from it.

As the master of Mingde Hall, he had done plenty of research on soul beasts.

"340,000 years... 380,000 years..."

He muttered to himself.

"According to the empire's secret records, the cultivation of these two ferocious beasts absolutely couldn't be this high!"

"To increase by more than a hundred thousand years in just a few thousand years? That's absolutely impossible!"

He turned to the researchers behind him and barked, "Pull up every observation record on the ferocious beasts of the Star Dou Great Forest immediately!"

"I want to know exactly what caused this phenomenon that defies the laws of soul beast growth!"

An elderly researcher said in a trembling voice, "Hall Master, this... this simply can't be explained by common sense, unless they obtained a god-level opportunity, or..."

"Or what?"

Jing Hongchen pressed.

The old researcher swallowed. "Or there is an existence beyond our understanding helping them..."

Jing Hongchen's pupils shrank as he thought of those two terrifying bloodlines surnamed "Lu" from before.

Could it really be them?

Holy Spirit Cult Headquarters.

Zhongli Wu looked at Zi Ji's and Scarlet King's Cultivation Years. First came shock, then a flicker of greed flashed through his eyes.

"Three hundred and forty thousand... three hundred and eighty thousand... If I could Devour their Spirit Rings and souls..."

Ye Xishui coldly cut off his delusion. "Idiot! Haven't you noticed the real issue? Their cultivation speed is far too abnormal!"

"That means the Star Dou Great Forest very likely has some secret technique or resource we know nothing about!"

Ripples stirred in Long Xiaoyao's deathly still eyes as well.

"To make Ferocious Beasts' cultivation soar by over a hundred thousand years within just a few thousand years... such a method is close to creation itself."

"That soul beast hidden in the shadows is probably even more terrifying than we imagined."

Feng Ling's charming face was filled with gravity. "If this kind of improvement can be widespread... then the Star Dou Great Forest's overall strength may already have reached a level beyond our imagination."

The upper ranks of the Holy Spirit Cult all fell silent.

They had originally thought it was just a few more top-tier powerhouses.

Now it seemed possible that the strength of the entire Soul Beast Tribe had undergone a qualitative leap!

Star Luo Empire Imperial Palace.

Xu Jiawei looked at the Golden Ranking and said worriedly to the civil and military officials below, "My beloved ministers, the abnormal rise in the strength of the Star Dou Great Forest's Ferocious Beasts concerns the safety of the empire."

"The border defenses must be further strengthened. At the same time, dispatch elite scouts. We must find out the reason!"

A great general stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, I suspect this is related to the two children surnamed Lu that the Golden Ranking mentioned before. If such a method truly exists, then the threat it poses... may be no less than that of a living Limit Douluo!"

The entire court instantly erupted into uproar, and panic began to spread.

Extreme North.

Deep confusion also appeared on the Snow Empress's flawless face.

Her cold, clear voice echoed through the ice and snow. "Zi Ji, Scarlet King... I met them once several thousand years ago. At that time, their cultivation was far below this."

"To improve to such a degree in just a few thousand years... what exactly happened in the Star Dou Great Forest?"

The Titan Snow Demon King stood beside her, his face full of gravity. "This is far too abnormal. Even with the help of natural treasures, it would be impossible to improve this quickly."

"Snow Empress, I keep feeling that the Star Dou side is hiding an enormous secret."
