[Power Ranking, 8th Place: Extreme North]

[Ruler Representative: Heavenly Snow Woman Di]

[Strongest Combat Representative: Heavenly Snow Woman Di]

[Evaluation: One of the three major soul beast habitats on the Douluo Continent, located at the northernmost tip of the continent. The area is covered in vast stretches of frozen permafrost and is shrouded in blizzards and cold winds year-round, hence the name "Extreme North."

Hundreds of thousands of soul beasts reside here, almost exclusively of the ice and cold attributes. Although their numbers are not vast, the ancient "Ice God" from the God Realm once visited this place. The soul beasts worshipped the Ice God and received blessings, which generally elevated their quality. Coupled with the unique, extreme cold environment, they are almost capable of fighting above their level and taking on multiple opponents at once, making this place a "forbidden zone" that the soul master world views with awe!

The most powerful soul beast here is the "Heavenly Snow Woman Di." She was not born from the reproduction of ordinary soul beasts but is a creature condensed from the purest ice-attribute heaven and earth energy in the Extreme North. With a cultivation age reaching 680,000 years, she is the undisputed ruler of the Extreme North. In addition, there are three other top-tier ice-attribute soul beasts with cultivation ages far exceeding 100,000 years, some of whom possess a trace of the Ice God's bloodline because their ancestors were favored by the ancient Ice God.

Most importantly, the mineral resources here are extremely rich. Because it was once visited and blessed by the "Ice God," two hidden peerless treasure basins known as the "Ten-Thousand-Year Profound Ice Cave" were born, containing two supreme treasures: the "Ice Extreme Divine Crystal" and the "Ten-Thousand-Year Profound Ice Marrow." These can allow any ice-attribute soul beast or soul master to leap into becoming a peerless powerhouse! However, only one "Ten-Thousand-Year Profound Ice Cave" remains today!]

[Intermediate Reward: The cultivation age of both representatives increases by 30,000 years, plus one Tribulation Transcendence Pill (if the representative is a duplicate, it is replaced by a 40,000-year cultivation pill)!]

The announcement of the new Sky Screen Power Ranking made the entire continent boil over once again!

"Another soul beast faction on the list, that's three in a row! And this time it's actually the Extreme North?!"

"Does this even deserve to be on the list? The previous Evil Demon Forest had a 780,000-year soul beast; how can this compare?!"

When the 'Extreme North' appeared on the list, everyone's first reaction was one of skepticism.

After all, among the three major soul beast habitats on the continent, this one had the least presence.

They had almost all attributed its status as a "forbidden zone" to the harsh environment, which made it unsuitable for soul hunting.

Why would it deserve such a high ranking?!

But after reading the evaluation, all skepticism instantly froze, melting into overwhelming shock!

No one had expected that the Extreme North, which they had always ignored, actually hid such terrifying foundations!

Martial Soul City, Pope Palace.

Bibi Dong's exquisite face was filled with irrepressible shock.

"The Extreme North was actually a place visited and blessed by a god. I never imagined it; no wonder it possesses so many world-shaking foundations!"

"Hehe... Hahahaha, good, very good indeed!!"

Gradually, Bibi Dong laughed, her laughter filled with chill and a determined ambition.

"Everything in the Extreme North, whether it be the soul beasts or the treasure basins, this Pope is determined to have! Especially you, Heavenly Snow Woman!"

"When the time is right, this Pope will personally descend upon the Extreme North, first to take your lives, then to absorb your soul rings, and finally to dig out your soul bones!"

"While you still have lives to live, enjoy your final moments in the Extreme North!"

Worship Hall.

"The Extreme North was once visited by the ancient god, the Ice God?!"

Golden Crocodile and the other six titled elders exclaimed in unison, their voices echoing through the great hall:

"No wonder it has such terrifying foundations, even giving birth to a heaven-defying soul beast with 680,000 years of cultivation!"

"We once thought we stood at the pinnacle of this continent, but looking at it now, we were truly arrogant!"

"It really lives up to the saying, 'there is always someone better, and there is always a heaven beyond our heaven.' The Sky Screen has brought us far too much shock!"

When the 780,000-year soul beast appeared on the strange continent earlier, they couldn't reach it and didn't take it too seriously.

But now that such a heaven-defying and terrifying existence had appeared on their own continent, none of them could remain calm.

"The Ice God... how does it compare to the Angel God I worship?!"

Qian Daoliu was also surprised that the Extreme North had been visited by a god, but he was not overly surprised by the Heavenly Snow Woman.

After all, he had been to Sea God Island and knew from Bo Saixi about the existence of the nearly million-year-old soul beast, the 'Deep Sea Demonic Whale King'.

He had only kept it a secret because he promised Bo Saixi, not even telling the other elders.

Since there was a soul beast approaching a million years in this world, it was no surprise that there were a few others exceeding 100,000 years.

Unless... the number reached a level that would overturn the existing power structure of Martial Soul Hall!

Just as the elders were feeling heavy-hearted, the Fifth Elder, 'Guangling Douluo', laughed inappropriately:

"Wow, 680,000 years is so high. The soul ring and soul bone must be very strong, right?"

Upon hearing this, the elders locked their gazes onto his smiling face.

"Ah, hahaha..."

Guangling felt their gazes, scratched his head, and laughed awkwardly:

"Why are you all looking at me? Should I not have laughed at a time like this?"

The elders shook their heads:

"No, keep laughing. We just think you're right; the soul ring and soul bone of this soul beast must be very strong!"

Speaking of this, a gloomy look appeared on Golden Crocodile's rugged face, and he said coldly:

"What do you all think about locking this Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast as Xiao Xue's future ninth soul ring?"

The several high priests exchanged glances and nodded in agreement one after another:

"Although we don't know exactly how strong this soul beast is, if we join forces, we will definitely be able to take it down!"

For a soul master to hunt a soul beast is only natural.

Qian Daoliu neither opposed nor affirmed, his tone heavy as he said:

"We can wait and see. There are still seven faction slots on the Sky Screen that haven't been revealed. Perhaps there exist even more powerful soul beasts that are better suited for Xiao Xue."

Upon hearing this, the urgency on the faces of Golden Crocodile and the other priests eased, and they nodded in agreement:

"Fine, then let us take a good look at just how many terrifying existences hidden in this world we still don't know about!"

Suddenly, Guang Ling asked at an inopportune moment:

"What about the treasure basin, the Ten-Thousand-Year Profound Ice Cave? Why haven't you mentioned a single word about it? Is it because you're ignoring it just because you aren't ice-attribute soul masters???"

The priests had indeed overlooked that matter, and they exchanged awkward glances.

Golden Crocodile glanced toward the direction of the Pope Palace and snorted maliciously:

"Don't worry, Fifth Brother. With the ambition that Bibi Dong woman has, she will definitely send people to search for it. Once she finds it, I will 'retrieve' it for you. Just wait and reap the rewards!"

Guang Ling was overjoyed; he spread his arms and lunged forward to hug Golden Crocodile's arm, leaping about like a child.

"Yay! Second Brother, you really have the best ideas. You're the best!"

Suotuo City, Shrek Academy.

Everyone watched as the soul beast factions appeared on the list one after another, frequently seeing soul beasts that far exceeded one hundred thousand years, and they were all stunned.

"Hahahaha, finally, finally I have found a factual flaw!"

Yu Xiaogang was the only one laughing at the scene. His laughter broke through the surprised discussions of the crowd, and he pointed at the Sky Screen, cursing loudly:

"As everyone knows, after a soul beast reaches the hundred-thousand-year level, it can only live for at most another thousand years! It is absolutely impossible for any bullshit six or seven-hundred-thousand-year soul beast to exist!"

"This Sky Screen is truly just a piece of trash, a fake list fabricated by someone to mislead the world!!"

PS:

I am not intentionally smearing the "Grandmaster," I actually admire the "Grandmaster" very much!

The image below is from the original plot, where Tang Hao talks nonsense to Tang San, saying that one hundred and one thousand years is the limit for a soul beast.

Therefore, it is only natural that the "erudite and knowledgeable" "Grandmaster" would also talk nonsense! I'll slap his face in the next chapter!
