Rainbow Scale!

Xiong Jun muttered, his eyes darting around as he guiltily tucked the Behemoth left claw hidden behind his back closer to his side.

"Soul Beasts need connections to make it in the world too. How the hell are we supposed to play this?"

"The being behind her can kill a million-year Soul Beast in one move, and even true gods of the Divine Realm wouldn't dare utter a peep. Even if I had ten lives, it wouldn't be enough for a single slash from them!"

The arrogant swagger he had just displayed, claiming he would charge over and chop the Great White Shark into fish paste, vanished without a trace, leaving only lingering fear in his heart.

Elsewhere, by the Lake of Life.

Di Tian, King of Ten Thousand Demons, Bi Ji, and the other Ferocious Beasts all stood frozen in place like stone statues that had lost their souls.

They had personally witnessed a fellow million-year Soul Beast being effortlessly slain, and the shock in their hearts had reached its limit.

Even Di Tian, the Beast God, did not believe he could achieve such an instant kill without leaving the opponent even the slightest chance to struggle.

"The waters of this continent run terrifyingly deep..."

Di Tian muttered, his face pale as the Dragon Clan Bloodline he had always taken pride in now seemed so feeble.

Just then, a terrifying aura suddenly erupted from the depths beneath the lake.

Carrying boundless fury, that aura instantly enveloped the core region of the Star Dou Great Forest.

The surrounding space let out cracking sounds under the unbearable pressure of that aura.

Gu Yuena's breathtaking figure slowly rose from the lake water.

Her face was so gloomy it seemed ready to drip water. She stared at the direction where the Sky Screen had vanished, her fists clenched tightly.

Since she had fallen asleep within the Lake of Life, this was the first time she had displayed such intense emotional turmoil.

Di Tian and the other Ferocious Beasts immediately prostrated themselves on the ground. They did not even dare raise their heads, their bodies trembling uncontrollably.

They had no idea what had happened and could only speculate wildly in their hearts.

Why was the Sovereign so furious?

Could she be enraged by the death of that million-year Sea Soul Beast, grieving the losses suffered by the Soul Beast clan?

In the depths beneath the Lake of Life, undercurrents surged madly.

Gu Yuena's exquisite figure floated in the icy lake water.

The pressure of the surrounding water twisted beneath the terrifying aura erupting from her body.

The seven-colored sword light that had flashed across the Sky Screen replayed endlessly in her mind like a brand.

A familiar aura, a familiar pressure.

Gu Yuena was absolutely certain.

This was the Queen's power.

But the Queen was clearly already dead.

How could this power, which belonged to him, suddenly appear in such distant waters?

And it had even gone to save an ordinary Soul Beast Great White Shark?

Who exactly had used his inheritance in those waters?

Or had someone secretly harmed the Queen and stolen what belonged to him?

Intense killing intent churned within Gu Yuena's heart.

The waters of the Lake of Life began to boil violently, and great clouds of white mist burst through the surface and rose into the air.

"No matter who you are."

"Anyone who dares touch her things must die."

Gu Yuena clenched her fists, her stunning face revealing chilling killing intent.

The plan to revive him had to be accelerated.

She would personally avenge the Queen.

In this world, no one could ever bully someone she cared about.

"Whoever dares lay a finger on the person I, Gu Yuena, have chosen, I will exterminate their entire clan!"

Her domineering vow echoed dully through the lakebed.

The Ferocious Beasts of the Star Dou Great Forest sensed her fury and all lay prostrate on the ground, trembling so badly that none dared even breathe loudly.

Above the heavens, the image of the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King being slain faded away.

The entire Douluo Continent fell into a brief silence.

Then, an overwhelming flood of comments erupted like snowflakes.

Countless Soul Masters and Soul Beasts clearly refused to accept this ranking.

"What kind of nonsense is this? This counts as assisting in a kill?"

"A lousy fish that was chased all over the sea only survived because some big shot behind it intervened. Why does it deserve ninth place?"

"There's definitely something shady about this ranking. That expert who released the colorful light must have rigged it!"

Within Shrek Academy.

Yu Xiaogang pointed at the sky and laughed mockingly.

"I said this was nothing but a stunt! A beast that only knows how to run away can make the rankings? Utterly absurd!"

Within the Star Dou Great Forest.

Seeing those comments, Xiong Jun broke into a wide grin.

He patted his chest and proudly swept his gaze over his subordinates.

"See that? Everyone in the world has sharp eyes."

"That lousy fish is all show and no substance. It only knows how to cling to a powerful backer."

"If it came down to a one-on-one fight, I could turn it into meat paste with a single slap!"

Just as the crowd was seething with indignation.

Layers of golden ripples spread across the surface of the Sky Screen.

Large blocks of text rapidly reassembled, forcibly covering the doubtful comments from before.

[Devil Soul Great White Shark: Xiao Bai Ability Display]

[Constitution: Demigod Body! Formed through devouring the Soul Core of the million-year Deep Sea Demonic Whale King and undergoing transformation. Its physical body is incomparably powerful.]

[Special Item: Rainbow Scale! Personally bestowed by a powerful existence, allowing it to unleash the force of a god-level strike at any time!]

[Domain Skill: Demon Shark Domain!]

[Mental Attack Skill: Light of Despair!]

The moment these incomparably dazzling details appeared, the previously noisy comments instantly fell silent.

Every living being across the continent was dumbfounded.

"A Demigod Body! It actually devoured the Soul Core of a million-year Soul Beast!"

"This status panel is way too luxurious, isn't it? This is practically a pure stat monster!"

"Who said it could only run away? With that Demigod Body alone, even if a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast stood there and let someone attack it, they still couldn't break through its defenses!"

The description of the Rainbow Scale in particular made countless powerful figures gasp.

"It can unleash the force of a god-level strike at any time? Who could possibly withstand that?"

"Forget Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts. Even a level ninety-nine Peerless Douluo would probably be instantly killed in one move against it, right?"

After the shock came envy, spreading across the entire continent like a plague.

"What kind of mysterious existence was that?"

"They forcibly raised a hundred-thousand-year shark into a four-hundred-and-ninety-thousand-year Demigod Body?"

"This is too infuriatingly enviable! Does that big shot still need pets? I can endure hardship, and I can talk!"

The eyes of many high-level Soul Masters turned red.

They wished they could immediately jump into the sea and take that Great White Shark's place.

Even being a mere accessory would be better than cultivating bitterly for decades.

Even those reclusive Titled Douluo were going mad with jealousy.

Ascending from one hundred thousand years to four hundred and ninety thousand years—such a heaven-defying method of changing one's fate was simply horrifying.

"I wonder what the reward for ninth place will be!"

"That bear in front got divine bone. The Great White Shark's reward will definitely be even more terrifying!"

Everyone raised their heads and stared at the Sky Screen, eagerly awaiting the next change.

Accompanied by deafening thunderous roars, a golden crack split open at the center of the Sky Screen.

Three lines of enormous text slowly descended amid brilliant light.

[Ninth Place Reward: Bloodline Evolution!]

[Cultivation Increase: Two Hundred Thousand Years!]

[God-Level Item: Sea God Torso Bone!]

The words were incomparably clear, reflected in every person's pupils.
