The Deep Sea Demon Whale King Exposed, Has Yu Xiaogang Been Slapped in the Face Again?

"No need, it is merely a spirit soul devoid of vitality."

Gu Yuena's purple eyes returned to calm as she shook her head.

Di Tian's body stiffened, his arms still tensed in a cupped-fist salute.

"But, the strength of that wretched Purple-Gold Heaven-Extinguishing Dragon is immense; the spirit soul it bestows must surely be powerful as well. If we allow its legacy to continue, I fear it will shake the status of our orthodox dragon spirit souls in the eyes of the spirit master world!"

Gu Yuena was unimpressed and snorted coldly:

"Hmph, it is nothing more than a legacy bestowed by a wisp of that wretch's remnant soul and divine power. The might of such a spirit soul is bound to be limited, its quality at most reaching the top tier. To speak of it replacing our orthodox dragon status? It is not worth worrying about."

She paused, lifting her gaze toward the Sky Screen outside the small world, and muttered to herself:

"Once we are exposed to the world by the Sky Screen along with the Star Dou Forest and claim the top spot, the world will naturally understand what an unshakable, supreme existence our orthodox dragon race truly is!"

The several great fierce beasts nodded silently; the Purple-Gold Heaven-Extinguishing Dragon was already a name in name only.

The Silver Dragon King, their master, was the strongest dragon in the world today; all others were merely inferior!

With their master presiding over Star Dou, they would surely trample every force beneath their feet, save for the God Realm!

In the distant Sun Moon Continent.

Sun Moon Empire, Mingdu Imperial Palace.

"Absurd! My Great Sun Moon is only ranked seventh?!"

Emperor Xu Tianyang slammed his hand on the armrest of his dragon throne and stood up, filled with shock and anger:

"My Sun Moon Empire now possesses the most advanced Soul Tool technology, the number of Title Douluo has exceeded ten, and Tianlong has even awakened the strongest dragon-type spirit soul in the world today: the Purple-Gold Heaven-Extinguishing Dragon. Our national strength has reached its peak in a thousand years, yet we cannot even make the top five!"

The civil and military officials below were also astonished, whispering among themselves:

"Could it be that the Douluo Continent, which keeps having forces appear on the list, hides powers even stronger than our Sun Moon Empire?!"

Beside him, Xu Tianlong's eyes flashed with burning ambition as he stepped forward and bowed:

"Father, this only goes to show that the Douluo Continent possesses vast resources. We should mobilize the entire nation to search for it. Once we find that continent, we shall lead our armies to conquer it and put it to our use!"

The ministers in the hall echoed his sentiments; the resources of the Sun Moon Continent could no longer satisfy them.

Before Emperor Xu Tianyang could respond, the Sky Screen suddenly descended two golden pillars of light, precisely enveloping him and Xu Tianlong!

"Boom--!"

"Boom--!"

The father and son felt vast energy surging into their bodies.

It instantly helped them break through the level 96 bottleneck, soaring by two full levels.

Level 98!

Their respective spirit souls were released without summons: the father's spirit soul was the Sun, and the son's was the Purple-Gold Heaven-Extinguishing Dragon.

The nine spirit rings of the father and son also appeared, each enhanced by five thousand years under the tempering of the golden light.

Three purple and six black!

When the light faded, each of them held a three-thousand-year perfect spirit bone that shimmered with a lustrous glow.

"Congratulations, Your Majesty! Congratulations, Your Highness the Crown Prince!"

The civil and military officials in the hall watched in shock before kneeling in unison to shout their praise.

"Hahahaha! Good! Very good!"

Xu Tianyang felt the unprecedented power within his body and threw his head back in laughter, turning to look at his son beside him.

"Tianlong, you and I are now both level 98. With these two three-thousand-year perfect spirit bones, our combined strength will surely be enough to contend with the 'Evil Eye Tyrant Lord, Xiedi,' who rivals a level 99 Limit Douluo!"

Xu Tianlong could not hide his excitement, kneeling on one knee:

"Father, our Sun Moon Empire is now at its zenith; what force in the outside world can stop us? I implore you to grant my previous proposal!"

Xu Tianyang recalled the request and nodded heavily:

"Granted! Pass on my decree: mobilize the nation's strength to develop maritime Soul Tools and explore the Douluo Continent!"

"The day we find the Douluo Continent shall be the day the banners of our Great Sun Moon are planted on every inch of that land!"

The civil and military officials in the hall knelt together, responding loudly:

"Your Majesty is wise! May the Sun and Moon endure, and may the Great Sun Moon Empire last forever!"

Having already viewed the Douluo Continent as their own, Xu Tianyang and his son turned their eyes back to the Sky Screen.

"Heh, no matter how strong the six forces ranked above us are, they will never be able to pull away from our Sun Moon by much!"

Just as the world was still shocked by the immense national strength of the Sun Moon Empire.

"Rumble--"

The golden Sky Screen in the firmament suddenly vibrated; the list had updated!

[Power Ranking, 6th Place: Ocean]

[Representative Ruler: None]

[Strongest Combat Representative: Deep Sea Demonic Whale King]

[Evaluation: The largest soul beast habitat on the Douluo Plane, the ocean accounts for over seventy percent of the total surface area, surpassing all landmasses combined. The number of soul beasts residing here also exceeds the sum of all other habitats, totaling over ten million, primarily of the water attribute. Although numerous, the gap in cultivation years among these soul beasts is immense; the majority are below a thousand years, with high-level soul beasts active almost exclusively in the deep-sea regions.

The most powerful soul beast here is the "Deep Sea Demonic Whale King." He currently possesses 990,000 years of cultivation, which was not gained through standard cultivation but primarily through his own formidable devouring ability, consuming ocean soul beasts to improve. His actual age is 300,000 years, but his cultivation is solid and authentic, without a shred of falsehood, making him the undisputed strongest combat overlord in the ocean. Two thousand years ago, he was the most formidable opponent of the Sea God "Poseidon" before he ascended. In addition to him, there are seven other top-tier water-attribute soul beasts with over 100,000 years of cultivation.

The ocean was once conquered by the Sea God "Poseidon" and received his protection, but since the Sea God's ascension, severe divisions have emerged within. One faction consists of those who believe in and worship the Sea God, represented by the "Demon Soul Great White Shark Tribe" and the "Mermaid Tribe," while the other faction consists of those unwilling to submit to the Sea God, represented by the "Evil Spirit Orca Tribe" and the "Deep Sea Demonic Whale Tribe." Consequently, a representative ruler cannot be selected!]

[Intermediate Reward: The cultivation years of the two representatives will each increase by 50,000 years, plus one Tribulation Transcendence Pill (if there is only one representative, only the listed representative receives the reward)!]

"Deep Sea Demonic Whale King! 990,000-year level!!!"

This message struck like a thunderbolt from the heavens, once again shattering the world's understanding of the upper limits of soul beast strength.

With 990,000 years of cultivation plus the 50,000 years rewarded by the Sky Screen, that would mean breaking through to over a million years!

If a soul beast reaches a million years, what kind of terrifying state would that be... A deity?!!

The Heaven Dou and Star Luo Empires were thrown into a panic, immediately ordering a temporary blockade of the ocean and prohibiting all maritime travel.

Even Martial Soul Hall, which viewed soul beasts as mere spoils of war, felt a palpitation of fear, and even the usually arrogant Bibi Dong fell silent.

What shocked the world even more was: "The ocean possesses such a world-shaking foundation, yet it didn't even make the top five!"

Suotuo City, Shrek Academy.

Lines of text on the golden Sky Screen came into view.

Everyone at the scene was completely stunned, and a deathly silence descended.

"A 990,000-year soul beast actually appeared? Master, take a look!"

It was unclear who exclaimed first, breaking the deathly silence of the scene.

At the mention of "Master," everyone couldn't help but recall what the Master had said earlier:

"This trashy, fabricated list is really good at making things up. If it has the ability, let it conjure up a 990,000-year soul beast for me to see!"

Everyone's gaze fell in unison upon "Master" Yu Xiaogang, wanting to see what his reaction would be now.
