Just as the entire Douluo Continent was reeling in shock over the identity of the mysterious powerhouse who had so easily suppressed the King of Ten Thousand Demons, the golden light above the firmament began to coalesce on a massive scale once more.

Everyone knew it.

The reward for the King of Ten Thousand Demons was about to arrive.

High above, the golden clouds surged like a tidal wave.

Within that brilliant golden halo, thousands of auspicious rays dyed the entire sky in a sacred hue.

Every living creature on the Douluo Continent held their breath at this moment, staring fixedly at the light mass as it gradually took shape.

The next moment.

Several massive lines of golden text, carrying an imposing celestial might, crashed into view across the Sky Screen.

[Reward for the King of Ten Thousand Demons:]

[I. One Top-Grade Immortal Spirit Grass (Can be perfectly integrated into the body to stimulate the deepest potential of the wood attribute).]

[II. 300,000 years of cultivation limit (Integrated into the body immediately, with no side effects).]

[III. One racial bloodline evolution (Break free from the limitations of the Demon Eye Demon Tree and evolve into the Nine Heavens Demon Eye Holy Tree).]

As these three lines appeared, the entire world beneath the Sky Screen fell into a deathly silence.

Immediately afterward, an overwhelming deluge of comments flooded the screen at a terrifying speed.

"Holy crap! Holy crap! 300,000 years of cultivation!"

"Am I seeing this right? The eighth place actually rewards 300,000 years of cultivation?"

"Previously, the Demon Soul Great White Shark Xiao Bai only received 200,000 years; the King of Ten Thousand Demons actually got 100,000 more!"

"If that's the case, how incredibly rich will the rewards be for the monsters ranked higher up?"

"First place... could the first place reward a million years of cultivation and allow one to ascend to godhood in broad daylight?"

The comments were filled with extreme fanaticism and disbelief.

Countless spirit masters stared at the words "Top-Grade Immortal Spirit Grass," their eyes practically bleeding with envy.

"A Top-Grade Immortal Spirit Grass! Just a moment ago, the King of Ten Thousand Demons swallowed a common immortal grass and gained that monstrous time domain."

"Now the Sky Screen is actually bestowing a top-grade one!"

"What a waste, what an absolute waste!"

"And what is that final racial evolution? Nine Heavens Demon Eye Holy Tree? It sounds infinitely higher-tier than the Demon Eye Demon Tree!"

Just as the outside world was buzzing with discussion and driven to madness by jealousy, deep within the Star Dou Great Forest, the massive, sky-obscuring ancient tree was currently wrapped in a dense, emerald-green cocoon of light.

The King of Ten Thousand Demons felt a warm, pure torrent of life—indescribable in words—surging through his roots and frantically drilling into every fiber of his being.

That was 300,000 years of pure cultivation!

"ROAR!!"

The King of Ten Thousand Demons let out a joyous, thunderous cry.

The aged face on his trunk was twisted with extreme excitement.

Above his head, a strange herb radiating nine-colored divine light slowly descended, merging into the crown of his head.

With a boom, the King of Ten Thousand Demons' somewhat withered, pitch-black bark began to peel away in large sheets.

In its place emerged a brand-new shell, radiating a faint golden fluorescence and resembling warm jade.

The single black demon eye at the center of his trunk, which had once appeared somewhat hideous, now split into nine.

Each demon eye swirled with a heart-stopping spiritual fluctuation.

"Wood element... Ultimate Wood Element!"

"And my spiritual power—it has actually broken through to such a realm!"

Feeling the terrifying, earth-shaking power within his body, the King of Ten Thousand Demons was ecstatic to the point of madness.

Plant-type spirit beasts originally had a natural disadvantage in offensive capabilities compared to top-tier animal-type spirit beasts.

But now, having fused with the Top-Grade Immortal Spirit Grass and completed his racial evolution, he would absolutely not lose to any top-tier spirit beast of the same level in terms of attack power!

"Demon Eye Demon Tree... No, from this day forth, I am the Nine Heavens Demon Eye Holy Tree!"

"The might of the Sky Screen is truly the work of a god; this old one is convinced and submits!"

The King of Ten Thousand Demons bowed his massive tree-like body slightly, offering a respectful salute toward the sky.

This miracle caused the resentment he had felt over having his secrets exposed to vanish without a trace in an instant.

On the neighboring mountain.

Xiong Jun watched the sea of green filling the sky and felt the terrifying aura faintly radiating from the King of Ten Thousand Demons—an aura that made even him feel suppressed—and the bear was left completely numb.

Around him, several massive Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bears were looking at him with a hint of hope.

"Patriarch..."

"That old tree spirit, the King of Ten Thousand Demons, seems to have surpassed your cultivation level."

"Does our Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear clan have to look to him for approval from now on?"

Hearing his clansmen's hesitant questions, which were laced with thick envy, Xiong Jun's bear face turned as dark as the bottom of a pot.

"Get lost, all of you!"

"Go and cultivate, every single one of you!"

Irritated, Xiong Jun swiped his paw, snapping a century-old tree beside him in half, and grumbled sourly:

"How is this fair!"

"My ranking was only off by a tiny bit, so why is the reward so vastly different?"

"A piece of trash grass elevated that old tree spirit to such heights; it's truly unfair!"

Though he cursed, his small eyes were filled with unconcealable envy.

The Core Circle.

Beside the Lake of Life.

Di Tian and the other fierce beasts wore solemn expressions.

"Three hundred thousand years..."

"This has essentially saved him from a hundred thousand years of heavenly tribulations and even granted him an extra two hundred thousand years of accumulation."

Di Tian's eyes, hidden within black mist, stared in the direction of the King of Ten Thousand Demons as he sighed with emotion:

"With such methods, if this isn't a true god descending upon the world, who else could achieve it?"

Gu Yuena had already returned to her seat.

However, a burning light flickered within her beautiful purple eyes.

"To think the eighth place receives such a reward."

"If I, the first place, were to be evaluated and rewarded by the Sky Screen..."

"Not only would the wounds from the divine punishment within me heal instantly, but my strength could even surpass my former peak!"

Thinking of this, a vivid sense of longing appeared on Gu Yuena's cold, aloof face.

"When that time comes, the hope of resurrecting the Queen will be even greater."

She murmured to herself.

Compared to the fervor and excitement of the soul beast clan, the entire human soul master world had become a vast ocean of jealousy.

"Why! Why do these beasts deserve such good rewards?"

"Exactly, we humans are the protagonists of heaven and earth; isn't this Sky Screen being a bit biased?"

"I strongly demand that the Sky Screen open a Top Ten Soul Master Ranking! Our human Titled Douluo are definitely not inferior to these beasts!"

Martial Soul Hall.

Bibi Dong watched the terrifying aura radiating from the King of Ten Thousand Demons after his evolution, her long, slender legs crossing restlessly.

"Top-Grade Immortal Spirit Grass... If only this immortal grass could fall into my hands."

"My second martial soul would definitely reach an unprecedented limit."

Bibi Dong sighed with lingering resentment.
