The Golden Ranking's Fifth Spot Revealed! Long Yun and Rainbow's Fortune, the Iridescent Ice Jade Emperor Dragon Scorpion!

"Greetings, Master."

Xiao Bai bowed respectfully to Long Yun, then reported with a hint of amusement on her face.

"Master, that group of people calling themselves Shrek are causing a scene at our academy gate."

"Those scoundrels who harassed Bing'er were given a harsh lesson by her. Now, their elders are threatening to tear Rainbow Academy apart."

Hearing Xiao Bai's report, Long Yun remained calm, not even lifting an eyelid.

"A bunch of clowns, nothing more."

Long Yun slowly raised his head, casting his gaze toward the Sky Screen that blotted out the sun above.

At this moment, the golden divine radiance upon the Sky Screen had begun to flicker slightly—a sign that a new round of rankings was about to commence.

"If I am not mistaken..."

"The fifth place coming up should be that little one, right?"

Long Yun spoke softly, a touch of anticipation in his eyes.

And at this very moment.

The image upon the firmament finally underwent a heaven-shaking transformation.

The golden Sky Screen, which had previously calmed, erupted instantly with a blinding, dark red light.

The sky across the entire Douluo Continent was shrouded in this eerie, heavy crimson.

After a period of silence, the barrage on the Sky Screen began to scroll frantically once more.

"It's moving! The Sky Screen is moving again!"

"Sixth place was already the million-year Evil Eye Tyrant Sovereign; just how strong must this fifth place be?"

"Could it be that a deity from the God Realm has descended?"

"What are you thinking? The Sky Screen is ranking the Soul Beast Ranking; the fifth place must also be a soul beast!"

"A soul beast even stronger than the Evil Emperor... My heavens, I cannot even imagine what kind of existence that would be!"

Every soul master on the continent held their breath at this moment.

Deep within the Evil Demon Forest of the Sun Moon Empire.

The Evil Eye Tyrant Sovereign, having just broken through to a million years and feeling greatly emboldened, fixed his massive single eye upon the sky.

Within that eyeball burned an obsession and pride that refused to admit defeat.

"This Emperor shall see exactly what kind of sacred being ranks ahead of me!"

Under the nervous and expectant gaze of billions of living beings across the continent.

Above the Sky Screen, several lines of massive, dark red characters began to coalesce in the void.

The brilliant golden divine light atop the Sky Screen began to change drastically.

Dark red streamers spread like a tidal wave, rapidly dyeing half of the previously bright sky into the color of a magnificent blood moon.

The sudden change caused the soul masters of the entire continent, who had just experienced one shock, to have their hearts leap into their throats once again.

"Look, the Sky Screen is moving again!"

"The fifth place is coming out!"

"Why does this dark red light feel even heavier than when the Evil Eye Tyrant Sovereign appeared?"

Countless people whispered to one another, their gazes locked onto the sky.

Amidst the countless expectant gazes, the dark red clouds on the Sky Screen churned violently.

Several lines of massive characters, imbued with ancient majesty, finally condensed slowly in the very center of the Sky Screen.

[Soul Beast Ranking Fifth Place: Ice Empress.]

[Race: Iridescent Ice Jade Emperor Dragon Scorpion.]

[Cultivation Age: 800,000 years.]

The moment these three lines appeared, the majority of the Douluo Continent fell into a brief, deathly silence.

Then, it erupted into overwhelming exclamations and clamor.

"800,000 years?"

"It's only 800,000 years? How could it be inferior to the Evil Emperor?"

"That's right, isn't the Sky Screen ranking based on cultivation age? Are there some unknown rules at play here?"

Countless soul masters frantically questioned on the soul guidance screens and the Sky Screen barrage.

Within the royal palace of the Sun Moon Empire, the high-ranking officials stared at the data on the Sky Screen, all frozen in place.

"This is absolutely unreasonable!"

The Emperor of the Sun Moon Empire slammed his hand against the dragon throne, his expression grim.

"On what grounds can this soul beast with only 800,000 years of cultivation rank ahead of the Evil Emperor?"

"Could it be that the Sky Screen's judgment is sometimes unfair?"

Deep within the Evil Demon Forest.

The Evil Eye Tyrant Sovereign, having just experienced a breakthrough in cultivation and feeling full of vigor, felt his massive single eye nearly split open at this moment.

"Impossible!"

"This is impossible!"

The Evil Emperor's vast spiritual power stirred ripple after ripple across the sky.

"Iridescent Ice Jade Emperor Dragon Scorpion? What kind of species is this?"

"This Seat has lived for so many years and has never heard of such a soul beast!"

"This Seat possesses the top-tier spiritual bloodline of the Evil Eye clan; by what right must I rank below this 800,000-year soul beast?"

"I refuse to accept this!"

The Evil Emperor circled frantically in the sky, his tentacles lashing out wildly.

It was not just the Sun Moon Empire; the Star Dou Great Forest was also in an uproar.

Within the core circle, the Beast God Di Tian's golden eyes were filled with doubt.

"Iridescent Ice Jade Emperor Dragon Scorpion? When did such a variant emerge from the Far North?"

"I recall that the Ice Empress of the Far North is an Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion, is she not? Her cultivation was only around 390,000 years; how has she suddenly become 800,000 years old, and even her species has changed?"

The King of Ten Thousand Demons was also utterly baffled, his withered, aged face etched with astonishment.

"Have the soul beasts of the outside world become this powerful?"

"First a Deep Sea Demonic Whale King, then an Evil Eye Tyrant Sovereign, and now even the Ice Empress of the Far North has reached 800,000 years of cultivation."

"By comparison, the foundation of our Star Dou Great Forest does not seem as dominant as I imagined."

The King of Ten Thousand Demons sighed, even beginning to doubt his own existence.

Bi Ji also watched the Sky Screen with concern.

"Iridescent Ice Jade Emperor Dragon Scorpion... this name actually contains the character for 'dragon'."

"Could it be that it has some connection to the Dragon Clan?"

Just as the various fierce beasts were filled with astonishment and uncertainty.

At the center of the Lake of Life, a hidden ripple of water stirred slightly.

Gu Yuena was sitting lazily on a smooth, warm piece of white jade.

Her long silver hair cascaded like a waterfall onto the water's surface, and her peerlessly exquisite face held a look of surprise.

Her beautiful legs, as fair as frost and snow, swayed gently in the crystal-clear lake water.

Her fair, beautiful feet, like works of art, created fine ripples in the water.

"Iridescent Ice Jade Emperor Dragon Scorpion..."

Gu Yuena parted her red lips, whispering the name softly.

"A combination of Ultimate Ice and the Dragon Clan's bloodline?"

"It seems that little one in the Far North has also obtained some incredible fortune."

A glimmer of anticipation flashed in her eyes as she stared intently at the Sky Screen.

Meanwhile, deep in the Far North.

Amidst the sky-filling wind and snow, two stunning figures stood side by side.

The woman on the left had long, snow-white hair fluttering in the wind, her features so exquisite they seemed otherworldly, and she radiated a noble, elegant aura.

She stood barefoot on the thick ice and snow, yet not a speck of dust touched her.

This was the ruler of the Far North, the Snow Empress.

Standing beside her was a slightly more petite woman.

Her long, emerald-green hair was tied in a ponytail, her skin as fair as snow, and her long, shapely legs were particularly eye-catching against her short, emerald-green skirt.

At this moment, the green-haired woman's face wore an expression that was both proud and relieved.

She was the Ice Empress.

"Congratulations, Bing'er."

The Snow Empress turned her head, her clear voice echoing through the wind and snow.

"800,000 years of cultivation, fifth place on the Soul Beast Ranking. It seems your hard work over these years has finally been recognized by the Sky Screen."

Hearing the Snow Empress's praise, the Ice Empress blushed slightly and lifted her chin with a proud air.

"Sister, I only benefited from him."

"If it weren't for the opportunity he gave me back then, how could I have broken through to 800,000 years in such a short time, or even completed the transformation of my bloodline?"
