Chapter 67 Hellish Dragon.
Starry Sky Forest, at the bottom of the Lake of Life.
When the name and ranking of the "Demon Spirit" appeared on the sky, several powerful auras within this space, which had previously only flowed with silver light, showed obvious fluctuations.
A blurry figure, seemingly constructed of shadows and eerie purple light, slowly materialized, emitting a low voice tinged with dissatisfaction.
"Fifteenth?"
"I, the King, have been hidden for tens of thousands of years, and I'm only ranked fifteenth?"
"Does this list underestimate me?"
This was the Demon Spirit that had just entered the list.
It was extremely confident in its strength, thinking it could at least break into the top ten, but it didn't expect its ranking to be so low.
Sitting in the center, the Silver Dragon King Gu Yuena's purple eyes remained calm.
She showed no ripples at the Demon Spirit's entry into the list, as if she had already seen through everything.
Beside her, the Beast God Di Tian glanced at the somewhat restless Demon Spirit with his golden dragon eyes.
His voice was deep and authoritative as he spoke, "Demon Spirit, calm down."
He looked up, his gaze seemingly able to pierce through the lake and space, reaching the vast and boundless sky.
He said in a deep voice, "The criteria for judging this list are not just based on cultivation years and concealment abilities."
"Your demonic power is strong, but not invincible."
Di Tian paused, his tone becoming serious, and continued, "Don't forget, this Douluo Continent is not just our Star Dou Great Forest."
"Those few in the far north are no less powerful than you. And more importantly, there's that area that occupies more than 70% of the continent... the ocean!"
"The ocean?"
"Those guys who soak in saltwater all day?"
The demon spirit's blurry figure flickered, his tone carrying a hint of disdain and doubt.
"The ocean should not be underestimated."
Di Tian's voice was resolute.
"The ocean's area far exceeds that of the land, and the harshness of its deep-sea environment and the brutality of competition are incomparable to those on land."
"The soul beasts that can survive and rise to the top in such places have all endured countless life-or-death battles, possessing unpredictable talents and terrifying strength."
"My lord once said that in the deep sea, there might exist ancient beings that even I must treat with utmost respect."
He looked at the demon spirit and several other ferocious beasts that also appeared and disappeared in the space, such as the Demon King and the Bear King.
He warned, "This Soul Beast Ranking is open to all soul beasts across the entire Douluo Continent. The number of soul beasts and top-tier experts in the sea is probably far beyond our imagination."
"Your ranking of fifteenth, Demon Spirit, might not be an underestimation, but rather because there are indeed fourteen more powerful or potentially more powerful Soul Beasts on this continent."
Hearing Di Tian's apprehension about the ocean, Demon Spirit's agitated aura finally calmed somewhat, though its resentment remained.
The other ferocious beasts also fell silent.
Clearly, Di Tian's words gave them a new and clearer understanding of the overall landscape of Soul Beasts on the continent.
Gu Yuena slowly opened her eyes, her dazzling purple gaze sweeping over the ferocious beasts.
Her clear, cold voice echoed in the space: "Di Tian is right. This ranking is an opportunity for us to see this world clearly."
"Rankings are not important; what matters is what we can gain from them."
Her gaze returned to the sky, carrying a hint of profundity: "Let's continue watching. These top fourteen will tell us who the true… Soul Beast Supreme of this continent is."
Hearing this, the ferocious beasts all composed themselves and respectfully agreed.
They turned their attention back to the sky.
Demon Spirit also fell silent.
The shadowy body twisted slightly, revealing its inner turmoil.
The sea… could it really occupy so many spots?
It wanted to see which sea spirit beasts could possibly surpass it!
The hidden space returned to silence, but the atmosphere was even more somber than before.
Di Tian's words not only awakened the demon spirit but also made all the ferocious beasts understand that the Star Dou Great Forest was not the only sacred ground for spirit beasts.
The waters of the Douluo Continent were far deeper than they had imagined.
And all of this would gradually be revealed in the upcoming rankings.
"Boom boom boom!"
Above the sky, golden light surged like a dragon, ceaselessly.
After announcing the mysterious demon spirit, it didn't stop.
Instead, with even greater momentum, it began to condense the information for the fourteenth place.
A deep, dark aura, carrying the ultimate dragon might and a hellish aura, first permeated through the light screen.
It caused countless spirit masters with dragon-type martial souls to feel a tremor and fear originating from the depths of their bloodlines.
The golden light froze, and an elegant yet majestic projection of a demonic dragon appeared on the sky.
Her entire body was covered in deep purple scales, each scale shimmering with a metallic sheen, her sleek form winding through the void.
Her four claws were incredibly sharp, and her head was held high.
Her amethyst-like eyes held boundless majesty and wisdom. A faint purple demonic flame surrounded her, scorching and slightly distorting the surrounding air.
Golden light froze.
A name carrying the majesty of a demon queen made a stunning entrance!
[Soul Beast Power Ranking, 14th: Zi Ji (Hell Dragon)!]
[Soul Beast Age: Approximately 300,000 years]
[Affiliation: Star Dou Great Forest]
[Evaluation: Chieftain of the Hell Dragon clan, possessing extremely pure Hell Dragon bloodline. Her physical strength surpasses all others of her rank; her power, speed, and defense are impeccable. She is a newly emerging overlord among the dragons.]
[Reward: Soul Beast age increased by 30,000 years! Deep awakening of the Hell Dragon bloodline! Significantly enhanced physical strength and dragon supernatural abilities!]
"300,000 years! Hell Dragon!"
"Just how many of these monsters are there in the Star Dou Great Forest?"
"Huh, this time the Heavenly Curtain actually revealed the appearance of the soul beast directly!"
"Judging by the luster of those dragon scales, this defense is probably difficult even for a Title Douluo to break through!"
"A rising star of the dragon race? 300,000 years is considered a rising star?"
The continent was once again speechless.
300,000 years of cultivation was already terrifying.
The flawless dragon body projected on the screen allowed all Soul Masters to directly experience what "unparalleled physical strength" truly meant.
Its threat level, in the minds of many Soul Masters, even surpassed that of some older Soul Beasts.
Because the Dragon race was, after all, the pinnacle of Soul Beasts!
In the main hall of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, all the core members, including Clan Chief Yu Yuanzhen, were pale-faced.
Looking at the elegant and powerful purple dragon projection on the sky, feeling the pure dragon might emanating from it, making their Martial Souls tremble, their eyes were filled with disbelief and horror.
"Hell...Hell Dragon?"
An elder's voice was hoarse, filled with deep confusion. "Our Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon clan has a long and illustrious history, and we consider ourselves intimately familiar with dragon-type soul beasts on the continent, but this Hell Dragon...I've never even heard of it!"
Another elder trembled as he said, "Just the bloodline pressure released by the projection...it actually...it actually made our Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Martial Soul feel fear?"
"How is this possible! Our clan's Martial Soul is a top-tier dragon-type Martial Soul!"
Yu Yuanzhen clenched his fists tightly, his Title Douluo soul power somewhat disordered.
As the owner of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Martial Soul, he was most sensitive to the aura of the dragon race.
He could clearly sense that the Hell Dragon named Zi Ji's bloodline level was far superior to his Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon!
It was a more ancient, darker, and more powerful dragon bloodline!
"Star Dou Great Forest...what a Star Dou Great Forest!"
Yu Yuanzhen squeezed out these words through gritted teeth, his heart filled with lingering fear and relief.
Fortunately, her family had no major ties with the Star Dou Great Forest, otherwise… the Spirit Hall, the Papal Palace.
Bibi Dong looked at Zi Ji's information, her eyes gleaming with greed again, but even more so with a deep sense of powerlessness.
A 300,000-year-old Hellfire Dragon, a top-tier dragon bloodline—this was also a top-grade spirit ring and spirit bone!
But… what could she use to hunt it?
Even with the combined power of numerous Title Douluos from the Spirit Hall, she would likely pay an unimaginable price!
"Demon Queen… Zi Ji…" she murmured the name, imprinting it deeply in her heart, but dared not entertain the slightest thought of taking action.
At least until she became a god, it was absolutely impossible.
Star Dou Great Forest, at the bottom of the Lake of Life.
A slender figure shrouded in a deep purple dragon shadow rippled slightly, emitting a joyful dragon roar.
Zi Ji seemed quite satisfied with her fourteenth ranking.
After all, her seniority was relatively low among the major ferocious beasts.
A golden pillar of light descended.
Her lifespan increased to 330,000 years, and the bloodline of the Hellish Dragon within her body seemed to be ignited, becoming even purer and deeper.
The purple demonic flames swirling around her body suddenly increased in temperature, and the defensive power and strength of her scales were also comprehensively enhanced.
"Congratulations, Zi Ji."
Di Tian's deep voice sounded, carrying a hint of approval.
The demon spirit remained silent to the side. Even Zi Ji, who possessed a top-tier dragon bloodline, was ranked ahead of it, and the resentment in its heart dissipated considerably.
However, before the continent's soul masters could catch their breath from the shock of the 300,000-year-old Hellish Dragon, the golden light in the sky converged again with an even more violent and intense momentum!
"Boom!"
This time, a terrifying figure that made one's breath catch in their throat appeared in the projection.
It possessed three ferocious canine heads, each head as large as a house, with exposed fangs and flowing with scorching magma.
The middle head spewed crimson flames, the left head emitted a dark, evil aura, and the right head surged with gray, destructive energy.
Its massive body resembled a small mountain, with bulging muscles beneath its dark red fur.
Six blood-red eyes were filled with a savage and destructive desire.
