The Fourth on the Soul Beast Ranking Revealed! The Nine-Colored Dragon, the Queen Returns!

Dugu Bo froze for a moment, then quickly came to terms with it.

A deity like His Excellency, who wandered the mortal world for amusement, naturally wouldn't care about such formalities.

"Yanyan, Grandpa's coming to get you right now!"

Dugu Bo didn't want to stay another moment. He was going to return to Heaven Dou City at once, sell off all his property, and move to Rainbow Academy with Dugu Yan.

At Rainbow Academy, he would devote himself to serving His Excellency.

At that moment, beside the Pool of Life at Rainbow Academy,

a breeze swept past, stirring up ripples.

Long Yun lounged against a deck chair, looking relaxed.

Two palm-sized, adorable little dragons crawled all over him.

The ice-blue little dragon—the Ice Dragon King—was lying in Long Yun's palm, rubbing its round head against his fingertip again and again as it let out a series of chirps.

The fiery-red little dragon, the Fire Dragon King, was much more restless.

It crawled all the way up Long Yun's sleeve to his shoulder, then opened its mouth and strained to spit out a red flame bubble no larger than a fingernail.

The bubble wobbled into the air, then burst with a pop, turning into a few tiny sparks.

Seeing this, the Ice Dragon King seemed to find it amusing. It opened its mouth too and spat out an ice-blue bubble.

The ice and fire bubbles collided in midair, then vanished in a wisp of smoke.

Looking at the two adorable little fellows, Long Yun smiled gently.

Who could have imagined that, ten million years ago, these two had been among the Nine Great Dragon Kings who shook the Divine Realm?

Now that they had remade their bodies, less than a tenth of their power remained, but their liveliness and cuteness amused Long Yun.

"Alright, that's enough playing around."

Long Yun chuckled and lightly tapped the air with a finger.

Two drops of the Godly Water of Life, brimming with life energy, appeared out of nowhere and fell into the mouths of the little dragons.

Nourished by the divine water, the two little dragons looked content. They obediently curled up on Long Yun's knees and fell into a deep sleep.

Meanwhile, the dark-red Sky Screen high above had settled after the earlier disturbance.

Countless dark-red lines of text began streaking across the giant screen like shooting stars.

They were comments from all across the continent.

"That disaster just now was terrifying. Thank goodness it stopped."

"Forget the disaster. Who do you think will be ranked fourth?"

"Fifth place was the Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion, with a cultivation of eight hundred thousand years. The fourth place must have at least eight hundred and fifty thousand years of cultivation, right?"

"My guess is someone from the Star Dou Great Forest."

"Hard to say. It could be someone from the Far North. Its foundations are no weaker than those of the Star Dou Great Forest."

Countless Soul Masters and ordinary people gathered beneath the Sky Screen, buzzing with speculation and curiosity about the soon-to-be-revealed fourth place.

In the Core Circle of the Star Dou Great Forest,

several Ferocious Beasts had gathered by the shore of the Lake of Life, looking up at the Sky Screen.

Xiong Jun sat on the ground in a carefree sprawl and spoke in a deep, booming voice:

"The Sovereign is definitely number one. No question. As for Big Brother Di Tian, he's definitely in the top three."

"Other than the Sovereign and that mysterious Nine-Colored fellow who came out of nowhere, who on this continent could be stronger than Big Brother Di Tian?"

King of Ten Thousand Demons stood nearby, his deep-green eyes glinting with thought.

"Dragon Clan Bloodline is inherently superior to that of ordinary Soul Beasts like us. Di Tian is the Golden-Eyed Black Dragon King, so there's no doubt about his strength. He must have a place among the top three."

The other Ferocious Beasts nodded in agreement. In their eyes, within the Soul Beast Clan, no one apart from Gu Yuena could match Di Tian in strength or status.

Meanwhile, ten thousand meters above the ground,

two streaks of light were cutting through the clouds at astonishing speed.

They were Di Tian and Bi Ji, who had been ordered to find Long Yun in the human world.

"Di Tian, do you think we can really find His Excellency?"

Worry clouded Bi Ji's face. Her quiet voice drifted unsteadily through the gale.

Di Tian looked solemn, complex emotions glinting in his golden eyes.

"We must carry out the Sovereign's orders. Besides, there's no mistaking that aura from the Ice and Fire Dragon Kings just now. His Excellency may be able to change the fate of our Soul Beast Clan."

As he flew, Di Tian spared some of his attention for the Sky Screen above.

He was curious, too, about where he would rank on the list.

Just then, the dark-red clouds above suddenly churned violently.

A dazzling golden light burst from the center of the Sky Screen, bathing the entire sky in gold.

Within the golden light, a massive dragon's shadow seemed to circle, radiating boundless majesty.

The words on the Sky Screen froze in place.

[Soul Beast Ranking, Fourth Place: Beast God Di Tian!]

[Race: Golden-Eyed Black Dragon King]

[ cultivation: 890,000 years]

As these lines appeared, images began playing on the Sky Screen.

A colossal black dragon blotted out the heavens and covered the earth. Its eyes gleamed gold, and each beat of its wings brought forth endless black flames, as though it would devour the entire world.

In an instant, the whole Douluo Continent erupted.

Countless comments flooded the screen.

"Holy crap! It's Di Tian! It really is Beast God Di Tian of the Star Dou Great Forest!"

"Eight hundred and ninety thousand years of cultivation! My god, he's almost broken through a million years!"

"But... how can an existence this terrifying only rank fourth?"

"That makes no sense! If even Beast God Di Tian is only fourth, how monstrously powerful must the top three be?"

"Could the top three all be million-year divine beasts?"

"The Soul Beast Clan is really that powerful?"

The human Soul Masters were overcome with fear and shock.

Meanwhile, Di Tian and Bi Ji, flying high above the ground, froze in midair.

Di Tian stared at the unmistakable words "Fourth Place" on the Sky Screen. His golden dragon eyes contracted to pinpoints.

His body began to tremble violently, and an indescribable mix of humiliation and resentment surged through him.

"Fourth place?"

"This seat... is only fourth?"

Di Tian clenched his fists so tightly that his nails dug into his palms. Blood trickled between his fingers, but he didn't even notice.

He was the Golden-Eyed Black Dragon King, the Dragon God's personal disciple, the ruler of the Star Dou Great Forest, the Beast God revered by countless Soul Beasts.

Apart from Gu Yuena, he had never considered himself inferior to anyone in the world.

Yet now, the Sky Screen had made it crystal clear: he ranked only fourth.

"That's impossible!"

"Other than the Sovereign, who could possibly rank above me?"

Di Tian muttered, losing his composure as his breathing grew ragged.

The image of the Nine-Colored Rainbow Dragon from earlier flashed through his mind.

"If that Nine-Colored Rainbow Dragon is one of them... then that only accounts for one spot. Who's the other one?"
