Just as countless Soul Masters were preparing to advance into the Star Dou Great Forest, the scene in the golden canopy began to change again.
The Titan Giant Ape's enormous figure soon vanished.
A bottomless pool appeared deep in the forest.
Suddenly, the still water exploded.
An enormous bull's head rose from the water, the two azure horns on its head resembling a pair of curved mountain peaks.
Its lower body remained hidden underwater, its massive frame moving slowly with the current.
Lightning flashed in the sky.
A pair of azure eyes gazed coldly at the canopy through the mist.
[The ten greatest Soul Beasts of the Douluo Continent, sixth place!] [Sky Azure Bull Python!] [Soul Beast age: one hundred thousand years.] [Current status: adult.] [Location: Lake of Life, core region of the Star Dou Great Forest.] [Species description: the Sky Azure Bull Python possesses powerful water-attribute strength and lightning abilities, allowing it to control water currents and thunderbolts across vast areas.] [Its physique, spiritual power, and overall combat strength far surpass those of ordinary Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts.] [Ranking explanation: the Sky Azure Bull Python has long guarded the Lake of Life, living alongside other high-ranking Soul Beasts. Its actual combat strength exceeds that of most Soul Beasts of the same age.]
This time, the entire continent truly boiled over.
"Another Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast!"
"The Titan Giant Ape and the Sky Azure Bull Python are both in the Star Dou Great Forest!"
"The Lake of Life? Just how many Soul Beasts are there?"
"Why are sixth and seventh place in the same location? Don't they have territories?"
Legends about the Titan Giant Ape and the Sky Azure Bull Python had always been scarce.
Now, the locations of two Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts had been exposed at once.
Everyone immediately realized that the core region of the Star Dou Great Forest was far more dangerous than the rumors suggested.
Spirit Hall could only increase the forces it had just mobilized.
Bibi Dong watched the Sky Azure Bull Python without the slightest trace of fear on her face. Instead, she looked delighted!
"Pass down the order. Summon two more Douluos."
Chrysanthemum Douluo was immediately startled. "Your Holiness, are we going to face two Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts at once?"
"Since they're in the same place, we might as well deal with both."
Bibi Dong's tone was extremely calm. She truly did not think much of these two Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts.
With Spirit Hall's strength, dealing with Soul Beasts like these was indeed not difficult.
Their true opponents were the powerful Titled Douluos from other factions!
Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts whose locations had been made public would certainly draw countless powerful figures.
And almost all of them would be at the Titled Douluo level.
"As long as we can separate them, defeating them one by one won't be difficult."
Despite her words, her gaze remained fixed on the Lake of Life.
She kept feeling that there might be beings there more powerful than the Titan Giant Ape and the Sky Azure Bull Python.
But that was precisely why it was all the more worth investigating for Spirit Hall.
The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.
Sword Douluo watched the canopy and said with a frown, "Could there be a true overlord in the core region of the Star Dou Great Forest?"
Ning Fengzhi asked solemnly, "You mean there are even stronger Soul Beasts there?"
"At least five Soul Beasts rank above them."
Sword Douluo spoke with his head tilted back.
"It wouldn't be strange for one or two of those five to be there. Of course, that's only my guess."
Bone Douluo looked solemn and said nothing.
Sea God Island.
Bo Saixi frowned as she watched the image of the Sky Azure Bull Python.
She had once heard someone mention the Star Dou Great Forest.
Many powerful Soul Beasts lay hidden in that forest's core region.
But... what made these two Soul Beasts stronger than the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King and the Demon Soul Great White Shark King?
Yet what surprised her even more was the Soul Beast ranked fifth!
This Soul Beast also came from the ocean.
Dark seawater soon filled the screen in the sky.
This time, there was almost no light in the seawater shown.
An enormous shadow rose from below.
At first, all people could see was a gigantic eye.
That eye alone was larger than a house. Its pupil was deep blue, surrounded by patterns resembling mountain ranges.
Then an enormous head emerged from the ocean depths.
His body was covered in thick, scale-like things, with a faint blue light flowing over them.
The seawater on the screen kept swirling around him, forming one enormous whirlpool after another.
[The ten greatest Soul Beasts of the Douluo Continent, fifth place!] [Deep Sea Demonic Whale King!] [Soul Beast age: one million years.] [Current status: adult.] [Location: the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King's waters, west of Sea God Island.] [Species description: the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King possesses an extraordinarily long lifespan, a formidable physique, and immense spiritual power, and can devour vast numbers of Soul Beasts in the ocean.] [Special note: the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King's cultivation has already surpassed the hundred-thousand-year limit of ordinary Soul Beasts and is undergoing a transformation toward a higher level.] [Ranking explanation: the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King possesses power approaching the divine level, but has yet to truly become a god.]
Before the words on the canopy had fully vanished,
the entire continent had already fallen deathly silent!
A Hundred Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Beast!!!
Those words crashed into every Soul Master's mind like thunder.
"A million years?"
"How could there be a Hundred Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Beast?"
"Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts are already the strongest on the continent. What is a million-year one supposed to be?"
"Approaching the divine level? Does this Soul Beast already possess the power of a god without having become one?"
Some Soul Masters who had been preparing to head out to sea all stopped in their tracks.
Quite a few put their maps away outright.
There was a Hundred Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Beast in the ocean.
That meant the entire ocean could be a forbidden zone. Who would still dare go there?
Spirit Hall.
For the first time, shock appeared on Bibi Dong's face.
As she watched the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King in the canopy, the scepter in her hand unconsciously stopped in midair.
A Soul Beast with a million years of cultivation, possessing power close to that of a god.
This was already beyond what ordinary Soul Masters could comprehend.
Those in Spirit Hall could not help feeling sympathy for the Sea Soul Masters.
With such a terrifying being dwelling in the sea, they probably had to spend every day with their hearts in their mouths!
"To think there's a being like this in the waters near Sea God Island..."
"In that case, the Demon Soul Great White Shark King and the Evil Orca King from earlier are probably his subordinates!"
At this point, Bibi Dong thought of a very serious problem.
The two Hundred-Thousand-Year sea Soul Beasts were powerful subordinates within the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King's domain.
Wasn't that just like the Titan Giant Ape and the Sky Azure Bull Python?
Could there also be an equally powerful being in the Star Dou Great Forest?
If Spirit Hall rashly entered, could they be wiped out by that unknown being before they even saw their enemy?
Bibi Dong fell silent. This matter had to be carefully thought through.
After thinking for a long time, she finally said, "Make haste to the Star Dou Great Forest."
She had already thought it through. If there was a stronger being in the Star Dou Great Forest, the canopy would expose it shortly!
If there wasn't, then they had all the more reason to hurry there!
