"It's here! It's finally here again!"
"This time, they should reveal the sixth-ranked existence, right?"
"After the seventh-ranked Bi Ji received her reward, her strength was already approaching a million years. Once the sixth-ranked one receives a reward, won't it definitely break through a million years and become a god?"
"A Soul Beast becoming a god... that has never happened in the history of Soul Beasts, has it?"
At this moment, it was not only humans whose scalps went numb. The entire Soul Beast world across the continent fell into a frenzy.
A million years!
That represented more than just a number denoting age. It was the Soul Beast race's only path to breaking the heavenly rules and attaining godhood!
Far North.
Upon this endless wilderness blanketed in ice and snow.
Amid the howling blizzard, two peerlessly beautiful figures stood side by side.
One of them was tall and slender, her snow-white hair fluttering in the wind. Her exquisite face carried an icy chill that seemed eternal and unmelting.
She was the true ruler of the Far North—Snow Empress.
Beside her stood a petite, delicate woman.
She had dark green hair, skin as fair as jade, and emerald-like eyes that radiated a proud, wild beauty.
She was Ice Empress, subordinate to the Heavenly Snow Woman.
"Big Sister."
Ice Empress looked at the Sky Screen, anticipation written all over her delicate face. Unable to hold back, she grabbed Snow Empress's hand.
"Even seventh-ranked Bi Ji made the list. This time, shouldn't sixth place be mine? With Lord Long Yun's help, my strength isn't weak either!"
Snow Empress looked at the excited Ice Empress and smiled gently.
"Don't be impatient. The Sky Screen will judge fairly. Still, given your current strength, you do indeed have a great chance."
As the two women spoke.
Golden divine lightning suddenly exploded across the Sky Screen. The purple radiance filling the heavens was forcibly dyed a strange purplish-black by an evil, terrifying spiritual energy!
[Soul Beast Ranking, Sixth Place: Evil Eye Tyrant Sovereign.] [Race: Evil Eye Tyrant.] [Cultivation Age: Eight Hundred Thousand Years!]
"What? Eight hundred thousand years!"
"Did the Sky Screen calculate the age wrong?"
"The seventh-ranked Emerald Swan Bi Ji had a cultivation age of six hundred thousand years. How did sixth place suddenly leap to eight hundred thousand years?"
"That's a gap of two hundred thousand whole years!"
"You have to understand, for an ordinary Soul Beast to cultivate to one hundred thousand years, it must survive a terrifying heavenly tribulation with only a slim chance of survival. How horrifying must its strength be with an additional two hundred thousand years?"
"Exactly! Six hundred thousand years and eight hundred thousand years are entirely different levels!"
Everyone stared at the blood-red number on the Sky Screen, their hearts trembling violently.
An eight-hundred-thousand-year Soul Beast was, to most people, a terrifying existence that completely defied common sense.
At the core of the Star Dou Great Forest, beside the Lake of Life.
The Ferocious Beasts stared at the golden words on the Sky Screen and sucked in breaths of cold air one after another.
The Soul Beasts, who had just been celebrating Bi Ji's breakthrough to nine hundred and ninety thousand years, were instantly intimidated by the sudden number.
Xiong Jun's eyes widened like bronze bells, his heavy breathing echoing continuously across the open lakeshore.
"Eight hundred thousand years?"
"What the hell is this Evil Eye Tyrant Sovereign?"
"Is there even a Soul Beast like that in our Star Dou Great Forest? I, Old Bear, have lived this long, so how come I've never heard of it?"
Scarlet King's three enormous heads shook wildly as well, his eyes filled with confusion.
King of Ten Thousand Demons furrowed his brow, his expression shifting as he stepped forward.
"Nearly all the powerful Ferocious Beasts on the entire Douluo Continent are gathered in the Star Dou Great Forest and the Far North."
"Could this sudden eight-hundred-thousand-year existence be some ancient monster hiding in the deep sea?"
Di Tian's golden eyes revealed intense shock and unease.
After living for more than eight hundred thousand years, this Beast God was hearing this name for the first time.
And the other party's cultivation age was actually as high as eight hundred thousand years!
Before this, Di Tian had always believed that aside from Gu Yuena in first place, he would unquestionably hold second place on the ranking.
Now that an unknown eight-hundred-thousand-year existence had suddenly appeared, he felt a powerful sense of danger.
"I am only at eight hundred and ninety thousand years of cultivation myself."
"This so-called Evil Eye is only ranked sixth, yet it is already at eight hundred thousand years."
Di Tian calculated silently, his expression growing increasingly grim and frightening.
Judging by the gaps in cultivation age on this ranking, his position in second place might truly be in danger!
Just as the Ferocious Beasts and human Soul Masters were all unfamiliar with this name.
Several highly unusual comments suddenly flashed across the Sky Screen.
"Oh heavens!"
"It's the totem of our Sun Moon Empire!"
"This is impossible! Lord Evil Emperor is invincible beneath the heavens. How could he possibly be ranked only sixth?"
The uproar across the entire Douluo Continent instantly fell silent.
Then, crazed cries of shock erupted like overwhelming waves.
"The Sun Moon Empire?"
"What empire is that? Doesn't our Douluo Continent only have the two great empires of Heaven Dou and Star Luo Empire?"
"Could there be another human empire beyond those two?"
"That's impossible! For thousands of years, the continent's borders have long been fixed. Where could some Sun Moon Empire possibly come from?"
"But they even know this eight-hundred-thousand-year Soul Beast. They definitely aren't making things up!"
An unknown nation, an unknown peerless eight-hundred-thousand-year Soul Beast.
All of it shattered the limits of everyone's understanding across the continent, making their scalps tingle.
On another vast continent far overseas, separated by the Endless Sea.
Deep within the imperial palace of the Sun Moon Empire.
Within the magnificent golden court, the current emperor of the Sun Moon Empire abruptly rose from his dragon throne, his eyes wide with shock.
"Lord Evil Emperor..."
"The supreme totem of our Sun Moon Empire, an unmatched overlord with a heaven-reaching cultivation of eight hundred thousand years."
"Yet on this so-called ranking, he couldn't even enter the top five?"
The imperial ministers looked at one another, their hearts shaken as chaos broke out below the court.
An elderly duke hurriedly stepped forward, his voice trembling as he shouted.
"Your Majesty, the Sky Screen must be wrong!"
"In our Sun Moon Empire, Lord Evil Emperor of the Evil Demon Forest is the heavens themselves—an invincible god!"
"He has roamed the world without equal. How could he possibly be relegated to sixth place?"
In the minds of the people of the Sun Moon Empire, that existence within the Evil Demon Forest was the strongest living being in the world. There was absolutely no way anyone could rank above him.
Not only the humans—even at the center of the Evil Demon Forest.
Within the dark-red mist, a suffocatingly terrifying aura churned.
Countless enormous tentacles lashed frantically against the ground, creating deafening booms and shockwaves.
The Evil Eye Tyrant Sovereign's terrifying eyeball, hundreds of meters wide, stared at the Sky Screen above.
Its incomparably powerful spiritual force whipped up waves of dark-red soul storms through the void.
"Merely sixth place!"
"I have dominated this world for hundreds of thousands of years. Even that so-called Beast God, Di Tian, from before—I have never accepted him."
Evil Emperor's massive pupil suddenly contracted, erupting with an extremely dangerous ferocious light.
"What does his pathetic Dragon Clan Bloodline even amount to? How is he worthy of being mentioned in the same breath as me?"
Towering rage surged through Evil Emperor's heart, his enormous eye filled with arrogance and unwillingness.
"I thought a place in the top three would surely be mine."
"Who else could possibly be stronger than me?"
"Other than... that Rainbow..."
