Silence!
Deathly silence!
If the previous rankings in the Star Dou Great Forest were merely shocking, then the words "Far North" and "180,000 years" were like an ice spike, piercing the hearts of all human soul masters!
"The...the far north? Where is that?"
"180,000 years? A soul beast over 150,000 years old?"
"Ancient Ice God bloodline? Ultimate Ice? This..."
"One of the Three Heavenly Kings? Does that mean there are at least two other beings in the far north that are no weaker than it?"
The unknown is often more terrifying than the known!
For most human soul masters, the far north is a forbidden land more mysterious and dangerous than the core area of the Star Dou Great Forest.
The environment there is extremely harsh, and it is sparsely populated.
Records about it are scarce!
And now, the Soul Beast Ranking tells them.
In that frozen world, there exists a terrifying soul beast with an age of 180,000 years, possessing a divine bloodline, and controlling ultimate ice.
Moreover, there are at least two such beings! And this is only ranked eighteenth!
A bone-chilling cold instantly swept across the entire human soul master world of the continent.
The Spirit Hall, the Papal Palace.
Bibi Dong's face was a mixture of surprise and shock as she gripped the scepter tightly in her jade hand: "The far north... 180,000 years... the bloodline of the Ice God... actually has such powerful soul beasts!"
For the first time, a hint of doubt arose in the depths of her eyes regarding the difficulty of hunting these top-tier soul beasts.
These soul beasts seem to be more monstrous than the last.
The Hall of Offerings.
Qian Daoliu's eyes were extremely solemn: "The far north...that barren land actually nurtures such terrifying soul beasts."
"Eighteen thousand years...it seems that one hundred thousand years is not the end for soul beasts."
"Golden Crocodile, send people to collect all the ancient records about the far north. We must reassess this world."
Golden Crocodile Douluo nodded heavily.
The far north, the core area.
In the endless blizzard, a giant ape over a hundred meters tall, covered in sapphire-like crystalline fur, roared to the sky.
The sound shattered the surrounding icebergs!
It was the Titan Snow Demon King.
It looked at its ranking and rewards on the sky, a hint of satisfaction flashing in its huge eyes.
"Boom!"
A golden pillar of light descended.
The increase in age, the purification of bloodline, especially the bestowal of the "Extreme Cold Domain," made the cold aura surrounding it instantly even more terrifying, the blue ice crystals seemingly freezing the space itself!
"Eighteenth... Not bad, humans, tremble! This is the true power of my Soul Beast race!"
It roared in a deep, rumbling voice, the sound waves echoing across the icy plains.
Meanwhile, deeper in the far north, two other terrifying auras, no less powerful than the Titan Snow Demon King, also fluctuated slightly.
They seemed to be watching the sky as well.
One of them, dressed in an ice-blue dress, possessed a cold and peerless beauty, her skin as white as snow.
Her eyes were pure ice-blue, without a trace of impurity, as if containing eternal, unmelting ice; wherever her gaze fell, even the air seemed to freeze.
She naturally exuded an absolute majesty that ruled over the extreme cold. She was none other than the leader of the three great kings of the far north, the Ice and Snow Maiden—the Snow Empress!
The other was dressed in emerald green, her temperament ethereal and otherworldly, as if she had merged with the surrounding ice and snow. She was the second-ranked of the three great kings of the far north, the Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion—the Ice Empress!
When they saw the name of the Titan Snow Demon King appear in the eighteenth place, even with the composure of the Snow Empress and the Ice Empress, a hint of undisguised surprise flashed across their usually calm eyes.
The Ice Empress's clear yet icy voice rang out first, filled with deep incomprehension and a trace of resentment.
"Eighteenth? Although Atai's strength is inferior to yours or mine, his Titan bloodline is formidable, and he controls the power of ice and snow. On this continent, there are very few soul beasts that can reliably defeat him!"
"How could he fall directly to eighteenth place? Is this list unfair?"
The Snow Empress's icy blue eyes flickered slightly. She did not immediately refute the Ice Empress.
Instead, her gaze pierced through the ice cave, as if gazing at the vast Star Dou Great Forest in the south.
Or perhaps looking in an even more distant direction.
After a moment, her clear, ethereal voice slowly rang out, carrying a hint of worldly wisdom: "Bing'er, calm down. We haven't fully understood the rules of this golden list yet."
"Atai's ranking of eighteenth is indeed unexpected, but it may reveal facts we don't know."
She paused, then continued her analysis: "The Star Dou Great Forest is rich in life energy and has a profound foundation. Besides the ferocious beasts like Di Tian and Bi Ji lurking in the shadows, there are probably other newly broken-through soul beasts."
The Ice Emperor frowned slightly: "Even so, could there be so many that they could push Atai out of the eighteenth place?"
The Snow Emperor gently shook her head, her long, ice-blue hair moving without wind: "Don't forget, this list is called the 'Douluo Continent Soul Beast Power Ranking.' Its scope is not limited to this far northern ice plain where we are, or the Star Dou forest..."
Her gaze became distant and profound, falling on the vast ocean that occupies more than 70% of the Douluo Continent.
"The ocean."
The Snow Emperor's voice carried a hint of solemnity.
"That vast, boundless blue world, which we rarely venture into, is far larger than the land."
"The number and variety of soul beasts it nurtures, and... the number of top-tier powerhouses, are probably astronomical figures beyond our comprehension."
Upon hearing this, the Ice Empress's delicate body trembled slightly.
A hint of realization and apprehension flashed in her emerald green eyes.
Having lived in the far north for many years, her understanding of the ocean was indeed limited.
But she also knew that the ocean's depth and mystery were far beyond what the land could offer.
The environment there was complex, and the competition brutal.
Those who could reign supreme there were absolutely formidable.
"You mean... the soul beasts of the ocean occupy a large portion of the top rankings?"
The Ice Empress's voice deepened.
The Snow Empress nodded slightly: "Very likely. Atai's strength is definitely top-tier among land-based soul beasts, but if we look at the entire Douluo Continent, plus the unfathomable ocean... ranking eighteenth might... not be impossible."
She turned her gaze back to the sky, her cold face revealing no emotion, only a frozen calm: "Let's continue watching. This list will allow us to see the true landscape of soul beasts on this continent."
"The ocean... just how many terrifying beings are hidden there? We'll soon find out."
The Ice Empress also fell silent, saying no more.
However, her emerald eyes, fixed on the sky, held an unprecedented solemnity and curiosity.
If the Snow Empress's guess was true, then the subsequent rankings of this soul beast list would likely completely overturn their, and even the entire continent's, understanding of the strength of all soul beasts!
All forces on the continent, whether human or soul beast, now truly realized the extraordinary significance of this soul beast power ranking.
Everyone's hearts were in their throats, their eyes fixed on the sky, waiting for the seventeenth place, and the higher rankings, to be revealed.
They knew that an even more mind-blowing, and terrifying soul beast was about to appear!
