"I'm not entirely sure what rank we'll get."
Xue Di shook her head, a flicker of worry crossing her beautiful eyes:
"Bing'er, once we are exposed, I fear it will attract the covetous eyes of human powerhouses!"
The usually arrogant Bingdi was unimpressed, retorting with confident disdain:
"What do human powerhouses amount to? You alone are enough to contend with a level 99 Limit Douluo, and if we join forces, even a demigod would have to retreat! Not to mention that besides us, the Extreme North also has A-Tai and Xiao Bai and the others."
Xue Di thought about it and realized she was right; the Extreme North was their domain.
From ancient times to the present, no human had ever set foot in the core region of the Extreme North.
Even a Title Douluo would be dealt with by A-Tai and the others long before they could approach the core.
"By the way, where are A-Tai and Xiao Bai? They were just here watching the Sky Screen a moment ago, and now they've vanished."
Xue Di suddenly remembered something, turned her head to scan the surroundings, and asked in confusion.
Bingdi shifted her lithe body, hugged her from behind, leaned close to her ear, and teased with a wicked smile:
"Oh, never mind those two for now. I am certain that our Extreme North will definitely make the top five, and both representatives will be you. You'll have to share a portion of the rewards with me when the time comes!"
Xue Di did not pull her hands away; in fact, she seemed to enjoy it, smiling with a mix of helplessness and indulgence:
"Don't worry, Bing'er. If I have it, you will certainly have it too. Perhaps this is the opportunity we need to break through our 700,000-year and 400,000-year bottlenecks respectively!"
A flicker of excitement and anticipation surged in Bingdi's beautiful eyes:
"We are both currently two thousand years away from our next hundred-thousand-year milestone. If we can both receive a Heaven-sent reward, we will surely break through. Once that happens, what does exposure matter? No human powerhouse will be able to do anything to us!"
As the two talked, they looked up at the Sky Screen simultaneously, determined to claim the rewards.
Especially the Ice Jade Empress Scorpion, who was certain that with the foundation of the Extreme North, they would definitely make the top five!
Amidst the intense discussions and nervous anticipation of both the human and Soul Beast factions.
Finally, the golden Sky Screen hanging in the sky updated, and new text appeared:
[Power Ranking, Ninth Place: Evil Demon Forest]
[Ruler Representative: Evil Eye Tyrant Lord]
[Strongest Combat Representative: Evil Eye Tyrant Lord]
[Evaluation: The largest Soul Beast habitat on the Sun Moon Continent. The forest is mostly composed of black-gray coniferous trees, a dark and oppressive expanse where sunlight is rarely seen even during the day. Coupled with the fact that it is primarily inhabited by Soul Beasts with dark attributes, it earned the name "Evil Demon Forest." Hundreds of thousands of Soul Beasts reside here, with their cultivation ages evenly distributed, ranging from the young to those over a hundred thousand years old.
The largest Soul Beast group here is the 'Evil Eye Clan'. They are an extremely rare group of mental-type Soul Beasts with highly sensitive perception of mental fluctuations and formidable strength. Their leader is the 'Evil Eye Tyrant Lord', who possesses 780,000 years of cultivation. He is the absolute ruler of this forest and has several sons, three of whom have already reached over a hundred thousand years of cultivation. These four are the only Soul Beasts in the Evil Demon Forest with over a hundred thousand years of cultivation.]
[Intermediate Reward: The cultivation age of both representatives will increase by 20,000 years, plus one Tribulation Transcendence Pill (if the representative is a duplicate, it will be replaced by a 30,000-year Cultivation Pill)!]
"???!"
At this moment, every faction on the Douluo Continent was dumbfounded.
Whether they were human factions or Soul Beast factions, there was no exception.
After a brief moment of shock, a discussion even more intense than before erupted instantly:
"Sun Moon Continent? What the hell is this? Are there other continents in the world?"
"Heavens, could it be that besides our Douluo Continent, there are other continents in this world?"
"A 780,000-year Soul Beast! Does such a thing really exist? Just how powerful must that be!"
"It takes a level 95 Title Douluo to contend with a hundred-thousand-year Soul Beast; wouldn't it take a level 99 to contend with a 700,000-year one?!"
"And now the Heaven-sent reward is giving it another 20,000 years of cultivation. Won't it break through 800,000 years? That kid is defying the heavens!"
At this very moment, the understanding of all living beings on the Douluo Continent was completely shattered.
It turned out that this was not the only continent in the world, and a hundred thousand years was not the limit for Soul Beasts!
However, after the initial shock, the major factions were surprisingly calm and unperturbed, as if they were merely passing strangers.
To almost everyone, the fact that there had been no records of the Sun Moon Continent from ancient times to the present meant that there must be an insurmountable distance between them and the Douluo Continent.
Why should they worry about a continent whose location they couldn't even find? They couldn't find a way over, and the other side couldn't find a way over either—otherwise, why hadn't they come already?
Chang'an City.
A flash of brilliance crossed Shangguan Wan'er's eyes, and she said with some pleasant surprise:
"City Lord, is this the Sun Moon Continent you once spoke to me about?"
Ye Han nodded, surprised that the powers of the Sun Moon Continent had actually been included.
In the original timeline, the Sun Moon Continent did not appear during this period; it only emerged ten thousand years later.
"Then..."
Shangguan Wan'er hesitated for a moment, then asked curiously:
"The Sun Moon Empire you also mentioned before—is it possible that they might make the list later on as well?"
Hearing this, Ye Han wasn't entirely sure if the Sun Moon Empire existed during this period.
The Sun Moon Empire should be the name adopted only after the unification of the Sun Moon Continent.
"Hmm, perhaps. Let us wait and see."
Ye Han smiled faintly, unexpectedly feeling a sense of anticipation himself.
If the Douluo Continent and the Sun Moon Continent were to clash during this era, which side would be stronger?
Sun Moon Continent.
Evil Demon Forest, core forbidden zone.
"I never imagined that my Evil Demon Forest would actually make the list!"
Looking up at the Sky Screen, the Evil Eye Tyrant Lord, Xiedi, let out a low roar:
"I wonder if these rewards are real or fake, given how incredibly generous they are!"
His several Evil Eye Tyrant sons were by his side, and they spoke up one after another:
"The divine aura and heavenly might emanating from this Sky Screen cannot be false, so this surely cannot be fake either."
"Don't worry about so much for now; we'll know if he actually gives them to us in a moment. We have nothing to lose anyway."
Just as the several soul beasts were discussing this, a golden pillar of light descended from the sky, crashing down to envelop Xiedi.
"Father!"
The several Evil Eye Tyrants were startled, fearing their father was in danger, but they were repelled by the pressure of the light pillar.
"Do not worry, this seems to be... a heaven-sent reward!"
Inside the light pillar, Xiedi felt a continuous stream of energy surging into his body, his cultivation base climbing steadily.
786,900 years! 787,800 years! 789,100 years! 786,660 years! 788,880 years...
Until it reached 799,999.9 years, the heavens and earth changed color in an instant.
"Rumble--!"
Thunder rolled in the sky above, and bolts of heavenly lightning churned, as if they were about to descend the very next second.
Seeing this, Xiedi swallowed the Tribulation Transcendence Pill from the heaven-sent reward in one gulp, and the heavenly tribulation phenomenon above dissipated instantly.
800,000 years!
Finally, with the Tribulation Transcendence Pill consumed, Xiedi broke through, becoming a true 800,000-year-old soul beast.
As for the 30,000-year Cultivation Pill that replaced the duplicate reward, Xiedi did not hesitate and swallowed it as well.
830,000 years!
Indeed, under the shocked gazes of his several sons, Xiedi had soared from 780,000 years to 830,000 years!
"Now, I lack nothing!!!"
"In this world, no one will ever be able to do anything to me again!"
After a brief silence, the major powers.
Their gazes focused once again on the Sky Screen.
They held their breath, waiting for the subsequent reveal of the Sky Screen Power Ranking.
They wondered if any other powers from that Sun Moon Continent would make the list next.
Two and a half minutes later, the Sky Screen ranking finally changed again, and lines of text appeared:
[Power Ranking, 8th Place: Extreme North...]
