Star Dou Great Forest.

Di Tian looked up at the golden sky curtain.

Bear Lord stood nearby, anticipation written across his face.

"Evil Emperor is ninth, Snow Emperor is eighth."

"Next should be our Star Dou Great Forest."

Myriad Demon King nodded slightly.

"There are not many soul beasts capable of ranking above Snow Emperor."

"The remaining rankings will surely include several from the Star Dou Great Forest."

Bi Ji did not refute this.

Di Tian and Gu Yuena were both qualified to enter the Supreme Ranking.

Gu Yuena stood upon the lake's surface.

Her purple eyes stared at the image that was about to appear.

The reward for eighth place had already included the Eternal Snow Lotus.

She was even more interested in seventh place.

Shrek Academy.

Tang San and the others gathered on the training field.

Ma Hongjun watched Snow Emperor's rewards, lightly gritting his teeth.

"Three hundred thousand years of cultivation, a divine artifact, and immortal herbs."

"The rewards given by the Heavenly Dao are ridiculously good."

Oscar sighed.

"Unfortunately, we do not even qualify to make the rankings yet."

Tang San looked up at the Supreme Ranking.

"We have merely cultivated for too short a time."

"Once we grow stronger, we may not be unable to enter such a ranking."

Dai Mubai clenched his fists.

"If I obtained a divine artifact, who in the Star Luo Imperial Family could stop me?"

Ning Rongrong was not at the academy.

The others no longer had the mood to keep discussing the rewards either.

Snow Emperor and Evil Emperor's strength had already surpassed the limits of their understanding.

Xiao Wu stood quietly to the side.

She cared more about the Eternal Snow Lotus.

The ability to freely switch between human and soul beast forms.

Such a treasure was simply too tempting for transformed soul beasts.

Sea God's Island.

Sea Horse Douluo and the other six Sacred Pillar Douluo stood beneath Sea God's Mountain.

Two soul beasts had entered the ranking in succession, leaving none of them in a good mood.

Sea Lance Douluo looked toward the sky curtain.

"No matter how powerful soul beasts are, they are still only soul beasts."

"The top ranks of the Supreme Ranking will surely include peerless human Douluo."

Sea Dragon Douluo nodded.

"The Grand Priest has served the Sea God for many years and has already reached Rank Ninety-Nine."

"She will definitely enter the top ranks."

Sea Horse Douluo looked toward the Sea God Temple.

"If the Grand Priest receives a reward from the Heavenly Dao, Sea God's Island's strength will rise with it."

As they spoke, the golden radiance in the sky curtain finally dispersed.

A vast, boundless ocean appeared above the heavens.

Waves surged.

An island stood in the middle of the azure sea.

Everyone on Sea God's Island raised their heads at once.

Sea Lance Douluo's face lit up with joy.

"It is the sea!"

"Could seventh place truly be Lady Bo Saixi?"

The vast ocean filled the sky curtain.

The waves churned as a black shadow slowly rose from beneath the sea.

That shadow was unimaginably enormous.

Just one section of its back breaking the surface resembled a mountain range lying across the sea.

The seven Sacred Pillar Douluo on Sea God's Island changed expressions.

The joy on Sea Lance Douluo's face vanished at once.

"It is not the Grand Priest."

Sea Dragon Douluo stared at the surging sea.

"This aura..."

"Could it be that thing?"

Golden radiance descended over the black sea.

Majestic words followed.

[Seventh Place on the Supreme Powerhouse Ranking!] [Deep Sea Demon Whale King!] [Cultivation, nearing one million years!]

Both continents fell silent.

A moment later, several comments streaked across the sky.

[Rogue Cultivator Soul Emperor: One million years? Can soul beasts truly cultivate for a million years?] [Elephant Armor Sect Master Huyan Zhen: Deep Sea Demon Whale King, could it be a sea soul beast?] [Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect Master Yu Yuanzhen: A million years of cultivation—has this not surpassed the limit of soul beasts?] [Duke of Netherworld of the Star Luo Empire: Seventh place is already a million-year soul beast. What kind of existences are the top six?]

Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.

Qian Daochen stopped within the mountain gate and looked up at the black sea.

"Deep Sea Demon Whale King."

This sea soul beast's cultivation was indeed very high.

But in Qian Daochen's eyes, its strength was merely average.

Most of its cultivation had been gained through devouring, and its control over its power was far inferior to Snow Emperor's.

Its seventh-place ranking was mainly due to its immense soul power and physical body.

Ning Fengzhi stood beside Qian Daochen.

"Senior, you also know of the Deep Sea Demon Whale King?"

Qian Daochen nodded lightly.

"I encountered it once at sea before."

The respect in Ning Fengzhi's eyes deepened.

The fact that he could calmly discuss a million-year soul beast already revealed much.

Ning Rongrong poked her head out from behind Ning Fengzhi.

"It is even stronger than Snow Emperor. Do you still think it is just a little fellow?"

Qian Daochen glanced at her.

"It is merely a big fish."

Ning Rongrong gave a soft snort.

"You only know how to brag."

The moment she finished speaking, she noticed Chen Xin, Gu Rong, and Ning Fengzhi all looking at her.

Ning Rongrong shrank back.

"I was not wrong."

Qian Daochen raised a hand and lightly flicked her forehead.

Ning Rongrong covered her forehead and immediately hid behind Ning Fengzhi again.

"Dad, he is bullying me again."

Ning Fengzhi coughed lightly.

"The senior is teaching you, so naturally he has his reasons."

Ning Rongrong's eyes widened.

She finally understood that no one would stand up for her today.

Qian Daochen continued toward the back mountain.

Ning Fengzhi walked at his side, guiding the way.

Star Dou Great Forest.

Bear Lord looked up at the sky curtain, his entire body frozen in place.

"One million years?"

"Even Lord Di Tian has not reached a million years. How did it cultivate?"

Myriad Demon King had originally been upset over failing to enter the top ten.

After seeing the words "one million years," it completely lost any desire to compare itself.

There was a full four hundred thousand years of cultivation between six hundred thousand and one million years.

How could that be compared?

It could only look up.

Bi Ji's expression was equally grave.

"Outside the Star Dou Great Forest, there are actually so many powerful soul beasts."

"Evil Emperor, Snow Emperor, and now another Deep Sea Demon Whale King has appeared."

Di Tian stood with his hands behind his back, his golden eyes fixed on the enormous figure in the sea.

"A million-year soul beast should not possess only this level of aura."

Bear Lord turned and asked:

"Lord Di Tian, is this million years fake?"

Gu Yuena stood barefoot upon the Lake of Life.

Her silver dress clung softly to her body in the lake breeze, outlining her slender waist and full figure.

Through the slit in her skirt, a pair of fair, long legs appeared and vanished from view.

Her lustrous jade feet stepped across the lake's surface as her purple eyes calmly watched the Deep Sea Demon Whale King.

"The years of cultivation cannot be fake."

"However, there should be some inflation in its million years."

Di Tian's expression eased upon hearing this.

Bear Lord and Myriad Demon King also sighed in relief.

If the Deep Sea Demon Whale King had truly cultivated to a million years through its own efforts, then the Star Dou Great Forest's fierce beasts would seem far too incompetent.

Shrek Academy.

On the training field, Ma Hongjun stared upward, unable to recover for a long while.

"One million years."

"If this whale became a soul ring, would it not be a million-year soul ring?"

Oscar swallowed.

"Who could possibly kill it?"

Dai Mubai shook his head.

"Even a Rank Ninety-Nine peerless Douluo might not be able to do it."

Yu Xiaogang stared at the number on the sky curtain, his expression constantly changing.

"Impossible."

"Soul beasts must undergo a heavenly tribulation every hundred thousand years."

"To cultivate for a million years, one must survive multiple great tribulations in succession."

"There has never been any record of a million-year soul beast in the continent's ancient texts."
