"Another hundred-thousand-year Sea Soul Beast!"
"Just how many Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts are there in the sea?"
"Ninth place was the Demon Soul Great White Shark King, and eighth place is the Evil Orca King. Could all the higher ranks be Sea Soul Beasts?"
"That can't be, can it? There should be Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts in the Star Dou Great Forest."
"But judging by this, the ones at the top should all be at least a hundred thousand years old."
In the coastal cities, the Soul Masters who had been preparing boats stopped what they were doing.
Fear involuntarily appeared on their faces!
Having spent years at sea, they had all heard of or witnessed the Evil Spirit Orcas' ferocity.
These Sea Soul Beasts not only liked to hunt other Soul Beasts, but also attacked ships at sea.
An ordinary merchant vessel would struggle to escape even a single Evil Spirit Orca.
And the Evil Orca King on the sky screen was clearly the king of the entire species.
Inside Spirit Hall.
Ghost Douluo and the others looked grim.
"This Evil Orca King's attack power is probably even greater than the Demon Soul Great White Shark King's."
"If it's ranked eighth, that means the Soul Beasts ahead of it are even more dangerous."
Beside them, Bibi Dong's face was still as water as she kept watching the Evil Orca King on the sky screen.
The Demon Soul Great White Shark King and the Evil Orca King were west and southeast of Sea God Island, respectively.
The distance between them probably wasn't short, and both were close to Sea God Island.
Coincidence could no longer explain this.
The waters around Sea God Island were probably far more dangerous than the continent's Soul Masters imagined.
"Just how many secrets does Sea God Island hide?" Bibi Dong murmured to herself.
By now, she had instead completely abandoned the idea of going to Sea God Island.
At the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, Ning Fengzhi and the others looked considerably more relaxed as well.
The power revealed in the sea was already beyond what they could handle.
They weren't going out to sea anyway, so this actually put their minds at ease.
"Two hundred-thousand-year Sea Soul Beasts appeared in succession. The Soul Beasts around Sea God Island are far too powerful."
Sword Douluo said gravely, "There may well be conflict between these two Soul Beasts."
"But since the sky screen ranked them ninth and eighth, that means they aren't the strongest beings in the ocean."
"Just what level of Soul Beast could rank ahead of these two enormous creatures?"
Ning Fengzhi and Bone Douluo both fell silent.
Bo Saixi watched the sky screen, her brows furrowing slightly.
The sky screen wasn't merely revealing the Soul Beasts' locations.
It was also laying the power structure around Sea God Island directly before the entire continent.
Through these revelations, the mysterious Sea God Island seemed to have been stripped naked.
This might bring Sea God Island a great deal of trouble.
Yet even she could not stop the sky screen.
The images on the sky screen continued to change.
The Evil Orca King surfaced, raised his head, and let out a resounding roar.
The surrounding seawater churned violently in response.
Then the view abruptly rose.
It swept swiftly across the sea, the continent, and the mountains and rivers, finally settling in a dense forest.
Towering trees stood all around, their vast canopies making the forest floor as dark as night.
Deep in the forest, an enormous black figure gradually appeared.
He stood over seven meters tall, his arms as thick as two stone pillars.
His chest was heavily muscled, and long black hair covered his entire body.
With every step he took, the ground trembled slightly.
When he raised his head, a pair of golden eyes looked straight at the sky screen.
[The ten great Soul Beasts of the Douluo Continent, seventh place!] [Titan Giant Ape!] [Soul Beast age: one hundred thousand years.] [Current status: adult.] [Location: core region of the Star Dou Great Forest.] [Species description: the Titan Giant Ape possesses immense strength, can manipulate gravity, and can unleash wide-area shockwave attacks. [The Titan Giant Ape possesses extremely powerful close-combat abilities.] [Ranking explanation: the Titan Giant Ape's combat prowess on land is exceptionally formidable, but there remains a certain gap in bloodline and age between him and the higher-ranked Soul Beasts.]
Before everyone could recover from the terror of the Sea Soul Beasts, they were stunned once again.
Many Soul Masters had heard the Titan Giant Ape's name.
He was said to be one of the overlords of the Star Dou Great Forest, and some Soul Masters had witnessed him fight.
With just one punch, he could smash several Soul Douluos into the ground, along with their Martial Soul Avatars.
Such a terrifying Soul Beast was only seventh?
"How is that possible?"
"The Titan Giant Ape is already the strongest land Soul Beast, isn't he?"
"Could all six Soul Beasts above him be even stronger? And all over a hundred thousand years old?"
"Unbelievable! I seriously doubt the sky screen's information is accurate!"
Unlike the ordinary Soul Masters, the atmosphere inside Spirit Hall had now grown fervent.
As Bibi Dong looked at the Titan Giant Ape's location, a trace of a smile finally appeared on her lips.
The Star Dou Great Forest.
A Soul Beast on land.
A hundred thousand years old.
This Soul Beast's value far exceeded that of the two Sea Soul Beasts before him.
More importantly, the Star Dou Great Forest was on the continent itself.
Spirit Hall could mobilize large numbers of Soul Masters and troops to seal off the forest's perimeter, then send high-ranking Soul Masters deep into the core region.
Compared with the waters near Sea God Island, where powerful human experts were also present.
The isolated Titan Giant Ape was clearly easier to deal with.
"Pass down my orders." Bibi Dong raised her scepter.
"Have the Soul Master teams everywhere prepare. Select Soul Masters of Soul King rank and above who specialize in control and tracking, and send them to await orders on the outskirts of the Star Dou Great Forest."
Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo nodded. "Yes."
This time, Bibi Dong did not hesitate in the slightest.
She had long wanted to see whether there were any Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts left in the Star Dou Great Forest.
Now that the sky screen had revealed the exact location and information about the Soul Beast, how could she hold back?
She absolutely would not miss an opportunity like this.
The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.
As Ning Fengzhi watched the Titan Giant Ape, a glint likewise flashed through his eyes.
"Now this is a target worth making a move on."
The two Douluos, however, were somewhat hesitant:
"The core region of the Star Dou Great Forest isn't safe."
"The Titan Giant Ape isn't a solitary Soul Beast."
"Since he's ranked seventh, there may well be other powerful beings nearby."
Ning Fengzhi pondered for a moment.
"But regardless, we can at least send people over to observe."
For the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, the allure of a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast was still too great.
Inside the Clear Sky Sect.
Tang Xiao watched the Titan Giant Ape on the sky screen with a complicated expression.
"The Titan Giant Ape. You could call him the Soul Beast best suited to my Clear Sky Hammer!"
"But since the sky screen has announced his location, Spirit Hall will definitely take action."
An elder beside him said coldly, "Let them test the waters. Better yet, let both sides fight until they're badly wounded!"
No one in the Clear Sky Sect objected to this.
They and Spirit Hall were mortal enemies. Of course they hoped something would happen to Spirit Hall!
The two great empires reacted even more directly.
The Heaven Dou Emperor ordered the towns and cities along the route to closely monitor the movements of Soul Master teams, while also dispatching court Soul Masters to the Star Dou Great Forest.
The Star Luo Empire likewise did not hesitate.
The temptation of a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast was enough to make the two great empires temporarily set aside their conflict.
The entire continent's attention was drawn to the Star Dou Great Forest.
