Di Tian Breaks Through, Million Years

[Douluo Continent Soul Beast Power Ranking, Fourth Place: Evil Emperor (Evil Eye Tyrant Overlord)!]

The fourth line of the Golden Ranking suddenly lit up with a chaotic, violent dark-purple radiance, as though it had been condensed from countless twisted spiritual powers.

An enormous phantom appeared, its main body a gigantic, ferocious eyeball.

Countless waving tentacles grew around the eyeball.

Every tentacle was covered in tiny compound eyes, emanating a terrifying spiritual pressure that seemed capable of freezing souls!

[Name: Evil Emperor]

[Affiliation: Demon Forest (Overlord)]

[Cultivation Years: 790,000 years]

[Bloodline Level: Top-tier (the highest existence of the Evil Eye Tyrant Clan, one of the ultimate manifestations of spiritual power)]

[Combat Power Assessment: Controls power comparable to ultimate spiritual power. Its Evil Eye Ray is powerful enough to tear through space and distort reality. Its spiritual power is as vast as an abyss, and its attack methods are bizarre and unpredictable, capable of directly destroying souls and controlling minds. It is the most terrifying Spirit System Soul Beast on the continent, with exceedingly dreadful comprehensive combat power, ranking fourth.]

[Reward: Spiritual origin greatly strengthened, Soul Beast Year Increase of 60,000 years, Evil Eye Ray evolved into "Destruction Evil Light," spiritual power quality transformed! Divine Skill: World-Ending Divine Light]

"Evil Emperor! Seven hundred and ninety thousand years!"

"The overlord of the Demon Forest! The most terrifying Spirit System Soul Beast!"

"Even he only ranked fourth?!"

Evil Emperor's appearance on the ranking, backed by his solid and terrifying 790,000 years of cultivation, once again proved the worth of the Top Ten ranking list.

That overwhelming spiritual pressure made countless Soul Masters feel their minds sway, even through the Golden Ranking's phantom.

Deep within the Demon Forest.

A golden pillar of light descended with a boom, merging into the massive evil eye.

Feeling the spiritual power within him surge wildly, along with the force that had become more condensed and more destructive, Evil Emperor's countless tentacles waved excitedly.

"Seven hundred and ninety thousand years, directly raised to eight hundred and fifty thousand years! Hahaha!"

A will filled with chaos and violence echoed through the forest.

"The 800,000-year Heavenly Tribulation Barrier was crossed so easily! My power has never been this great!"

Madness and ambition flashed in his enormous main eye. "A million years... perhaps that is no longer an unattainable dream!"

"This Golden Ranking truly is a heaven-sent opportunity!"

Yet after the wild joy faded, a thread of icy doubt surfaced in his heart. "With my 850,000-year strength, I can only rank fourth."

"It is only natural that Di Tian of the Star Dou Great Forest ranks above me, but aside from him, who else could stand above me?"

"Could it be that, besides Di Tian, the Star Dou Great Forest hides even more terrifying beings? Or are there ancient monsters in the Far North or the Sea Domain that I do not know about?"

Evil Emperor's wariness of—and desire to investigate—the Star Dou Great Forest reached its peak.

The Sun Moon Empire, the Holy Spirit Cult, and other factions were not particularly surprised by Evil Emperor's strength or ranking.

After all, Evil Emperor's ferocious reputation had long spread across the continent.

But they became even more certain of one thing.

Aside from the Star Dou Great Forest, the strength increases of the other top Soul Beast factions all seemed to fall within a "reasonable" range.

Only the Star Dou Great Forest seemed strange at every turn!

Shrek Academy, Huo Yuhao's dormitory.

Huo Yuhao looked at Evil Emperor's ferocious and powerful phantom, especially as he sensed that pure, ultimate terrifying spiritual power.

His Spirit Eyes Martial Soul involuntarily grew slightly warm, and an irrepressible longing flashed through his eyes.

"Evil Emperor, such a powerful Spirit Attribute Soul Beast..."

He murmured subconsciously, "If it could become one of my Spirit Rings..."

"Yuhao! Stop dreaming!"

Sky Dream Ice Silkworm's strange voice immediately exploded in his Sea of Consciousness, jolting Huo Yuhao awake from his fantasy.

Ice Empress's cool voice also carried unprecedented seriousness. "Idiot! Do you know what Evil Emperor is? That is a terrifying being even Limit Douluo fear immensely!"

"And now that his strength has greatly increased, he is absolutely not someone you can covet at your current level! Don't even think about it!"

Huo Yuhao shuddered and fully came to his senses, forcing a bitter smile. "I was being delusional. It's just that its spiritual power is really too..."

Electrolux's aged voice carried a warning. "Yuhao, there is nothing wrong with seeking power, but you must know your limits. Such an existence is far beyond what you can touch at your current stage."

Just then!

Before everyone could fully recover from the shock Evil Emperor had brought—

"BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!"

The golden ranking radiance surged once more.

The name in third place appeared with unparalleled majesty, shaking the world!

[Douluo Continent Soul Beast Power Ranking, Third Place: Di Tian (Golden-Eyed Black Dragon King)!]

The third line of the golden ranking erupted with pure black light—noble, domineering, and seemingly capable of devouring all light.

Streaks of majestic golden radiance were mixed within it!

A massive dragon phantom spiraled upward, its entire body covered in pitch-black dragon scales.

Only its draconic eyes shone with brilliant gold. Its gaze looked down upon all things, as though every living being in the world were nothing more than ants!

Terrifying Dragon Might swept across heaven and earth as though it were tangible!

[Name: Di Tian]

[Affiliation: Star Dou Great Forest (Beast God)]

[Cultivation Years: 940,000 years]

[Bloodline Level: Supreme (Golden-Eyed Black Dragon King Bloodline)]

[Combat Power Assessment: The strongest soul beast publicly known on Douluo Continent, with unfathomable strength. He commands the ultimate darkness attribute, and his Dragon Clan Battle Skills have reached the pinnacle. His Dragon God Claw contains a trace of Dragon God's Power, with might sufficient to slay gods. He is the true pillar of the Soul Beast Clan. Based on his supreme combat power and status, Comprehensive Assessment places him third.]

[Reward: Soul Beast Year Increase of 60,000 years, further purification of Dragon Clan Bloodline, inheritance of the divine skill "Dragon God's Light," evolution of the Dark Domain into the God-level Domain "Nirvana Dark Domain," darkness attribute surpassing the ultimate and advancing into the "Destruction Attribute"!]

"940,000 years!!"

"Di Tian! It really is Di Tian!"

"But... but according to the records, wasn't Di Tian's cultivation only a little over 800,000 years? How could it be 940,000?"

"Even Di Tian can only rank third? This..."

Di Tian's appearance on the ranking brought not doubt, but boundless terror and despair!

His 940,000 years of cultivation completely overturned every human faction's understanding of Di Tian!

This was even more terrifying than the abnormal cultivation levels of the other ferocious beasts in Star Dou!

Star Dou Great Forest, Core Area.

When the Reward Light Pillar containing vast divine power merged into Di Tian's body, his aura began to soar wildly!

His already unfathomable Soul Power became even more immense, while his Dragon Might gained a terrifying quality of holiness and destruction intertwined.

940,000 years... 950,000 years... 960,000 years...

At last, a horrifying pressure that seemed to originate from primordial antiquity, towering above all living beings—

—erupted from the center of the Lake of Life like a storm, instantly sweeping across the entire Star Dou Great Forest.

It continued spreading toward even more distant lands!

One million years!

With the golden ranking's reward, Di Tian broke through the natural barrier that had trapped countless peak soul beasts in a single stroke.

He officially stepped into the realm of a million-year divine beast!

"Roar!"

A dragon's roar that shook the universe resounded through the skies.

It proclaimed the birth of a true million-year existence belonging to the soul beasts!
