The Ten Great Beast Kings, the Three Heavenly Kings of the Far North, and the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King!

Outside the hotel, Lin Qingmo watched the flood of questions scrolling across the screen, a smug smile curling at his lips.

"Hehe, time for a little lesson."

He muttered under his breath and quickly typed in the Chat Group.

[Daddy Douluo]: Then let me explain it properly to you all!

His tone made him sound exactly like a street storyteller.

[Daddy Douluo]: First, the Ten Great Beast Kings—

He threw out the most shocking concept first.

[Daddy Douluo]: Only Soul Beasts over two hundred thousand years old can be called Beasts!

The words exploded in everyone's minds like thunder.

Over two hundred thousand years?!

By current understanding, Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts were already legendary existences.

Two hundred thousand years... what kind of concept was that?

[Daddy Douluo]: Ranked from highest to lowest, the Ten Great Beast Kings are—

[First, the Golden-Eyed Black Dragon King, around eight hundred thousand years old!]

[Second, the Evil Eye Tyrant Sovereign, around seven hundred thousand years old!]

[Third, the Heavenly Snow Woman, around seven hundred thousand years old!]

Upon seeing this, Snow Empress's pupils suddenly contracted in the Far North.

Ice Empress straightened her scorpion body abruptly, and a chilling gleam burst from her crystalline eyes!

"How does he know?!"

Ice Empress's voice was filled with shock and killing intent.

Snow Empress raised a hand to signal her to calm down, though her own fingers tightened slightly as well.

Lin Qingmo's revelations continued.

[Fourth, the Emerald Swan, nearly six hundred thousand years old!]

[Fifth, the Demon Eye Demon Tree, around five hundred thousand years old!]

[Sixth, the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear, nearly five hundred thousand years old!]

[Seventh, the Ice Jade Empress Scorpion, nearly four hundred thousand years old!]

Ice Empress: "!!!"

The moment she saw herself mentioned, Ice Empress completely lost her composure.

Cold energy erupted uncontrollably from her body. The surrounding ice instantly cracked, fissures spreading for hundreds of meters.

"He even knows my cultivation age..."

Ice Empress's voice trembled—not from fear, but from the utter coldness before an eruption of rage.

"This human—must die!"

Snow Empress did not reply immediately. She merely stared fixedly at the Light Screen.

[Eighth, the Three-Headed Red Demon Mastiff, around three hundred thousand years old!]

[Ninth, the Hell Demon Dragon King, nearly three hundred thousand years old!]

[Tenth, Demon Spirit, over two hundred thousand years old!]

After listing the names, Lin Qingmo added another sentence.

[Daddy Douluo]: These are the Ten Great Beast Kings—the true top-tier existences of Douluo Continent.

The Chat Group fell into deathly silence.

Everyone's minds had gone blank from the shock of that list.

Liu Erlong sat in her office, her mouth wide enough to fit an egg.

The documents in her hands slipped to the floor, yet she did not notice at all.

"Eight hundred thousand years... seven hundred thousand years..."

She muttered to herself, her voice trembling.

After living for so many years, she was learning for the first time that the world of Soul Beasts was far deeper and more terrifying than humanity had ever realized.

Ning Rongrong's eyes widened even more.

The Pearl Bracelet in her hand fell to the ground with a clatter, and she forgot to pick it up.

As the little princess of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, she had seen quite a few top-tier Soul Masters.

In her mind, existences like Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo had already stood at the peak.

But now... compared to these Beasts that were hundreds of thousands of years old, even Title Douluo seemed... not quite so terrifying anymore?

"If this... if this is real..."

Ning Rongrong swallowed, her throat feeling dry.

"Wouldn't the entire continent's balance of power have to be rewritten?"

Inside the inn, Zhu Zhuqing's face had gone pale.

She had to brace herself against the wall just to remain standing.

"The Star Luo Empire... before these Beasts..."

She did not dare continue the thought.

Yet a terrifying idea had already taken shape—if these Beasts truly existed and were hostile toward humans, then the Star Luo Empire, the Heaven Dou Empire, and even Spirit Hall...

Could all be destroyed, right?

An absolute gap in power could not be made up through numbers.

Of course, she did not know that Spirit Hall had Qian Daoliu.

Spirit Hall, Pope Palace.

Bibi Dong's breathing grew rapid.

The fingers resting on the armrest had turned white at the knuckles from the force she exerted.

Deep within her Purple Eyes, shock, greed, ambition... all kinds of emotions surged wildly.

"Over two hundred thousand years... eight hundred thousand years..."

She repeated the numbers in a low voice, biting down hard on every word.

If she could absorb these Soul Beasts' Spirit Rings, if she could obtain their Soul Bones... just how terrifying would her strength become?

Would she surpass a Peerless Douluo?

No... she might directly touch the domain of gods and even become the true ruler of Douluo Continent!

Controlling everything and fulfilling all her ambitions and plans would be effortless!

"This information... must be verified."

Bibi Dong forced herself to calm down, though her voice still trembled.

"If it is true, the future of the entire Soul Master world will change."

Yet Lin Qingmo's lesson was not over.

[Daddy Douluo]: Next are the Three Heavenly Kings of the Far North—two of them are among the Ten Great Beast Kings.

[Daddy Douluo]: The first is the Heavenly Snow Woman, the second is the Ice Jade Empress Scorpion, and the third is the two-hundred-thousand-year Titan Snow Demon King.

At being mentioned again, both Ice Empress and Snow Empress tensed in the Far North.

[Daddy Douluo]: Finally, there are the Soul Beasts of the ocean!

The more Lin Qingmo spoke, the more excited he became, completely unaware of the storm he had stirred up.

[Daddy Douluo]: There are far, far more ocean Soul Beasts than land Soul Beasts. And the strongest among them is undoubtedly—the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King!

He paused before typing that name.

[Daddy Douluo]: A Soul Beast infinitely close to one million years old, which once opposed the Sea God.

One million years!

Those words detonated in everyone's minds like the ultimate bomb.

"Bang—!"

Even Bibi Dong could not help rising to her feet, crushing cracks into the throne's armrest.

"One million years..."

Her voice was hoarse, and the light in her Purple Eyes flickered madly.

If she had held even the slightest doubt before, it had now vanished completely.

Anyone capable of speaking of a "Million-Year Soul Beast" possessed intelligence far beyond that of any current faction. A-Qing's knowledge was undoubtedly extraordinary.

Meanwhile, the Far North had fallen into a silence even deadlier than ice.

Ice Empress stared fixedly at the Light Screen, her killing intent sweeping through the entire Ice Cave like a tangible glacial current.

"How dare this human spy on us like this!"

Her voice was cold enough to pierce bone. Her scorpion tail rose high, its emerald stinger gleaming with lethal frost.

"He knows even my cultivation age, and he even knows Xue'er's true form... he must die! He must die now!"

Ice Empress was completely enraged, ready to pay any price to hunt down Lin Qingmo.

"Bing'er, calm down."

Snow Empress raised her hand, and a curtain of snow blocked Ice Empress's path.

Though she was equally shocked, she still retained her rationality.

"He may know a great deal, but that does not mean he can harm us."

Snow Empress's cool voice echoed through the Ice Cave.

"At the very least, humans currently lack the ability to explore the Far North Core Region."

"If we act rashly, we may instead expose our location and weaknesses."

"..."

Ice Empress lashed her scorpion tail irritably, but she ultimately accepted it.

Aside from the occasional human at the outskirts of the Far North, humans were scarcely seen any farther in, much less in the core region.

Calling it a forbidden zone of life would not be an exaggeration.

"Then we'll observe for a while longer..."

She gritted her teeth, each word wrapped in frost.

"If humans dare lay a hand on the Soul Beasts of the Far North—I will never spare him! The first one I kill will be that A-Qing!"

Snow Empress nodded lightly and turned her gaze back to the Light Screen.

For the first time, deep worry appeared on her beautiful face.

Lin Qingmo knew far too much... so much that even she, Snow Empress with six hundred and ninety thousand years of cultivation, felt uneasy.

Just what was the background of this human youth...?
