Douluo Continent: I had just reached my limit when the sky exposed me.

Chapter 63, 20th Place: A 100,000-Year-Old Soul Beast?

Above the sky, golden light erupted completely, transforming into a magnificent line of characters that illuminated the universe:

[The Douluo Continent Soul Beast Power Ranking is now released!]

The entire continent held its breath instantly, and all the noise fell silent at that moment.

Only countless tense, expectant, greedy, or solemn gazes remained, fixed on the sky.

The golden light flowed, and the wait was short.

The first name carries a heavy sense of power.

It appeared quietly!

[Soul Beast Power Ranking, 20th Place: Titan Giant Ape!]

[Soul Beast Age Limit: 120,000 years]

[Belongs to: Starry Sky Forest]

[Evaluation: Possessing the bloodline of ancient Titans, possessing immense strength and a formidable physical body, and wielding control over gravity, he is one of the overlords of the forest.]

[Reward: Soul Beast's age increased by 10,000 years! Gravity Field effect enhanced by 30%!]

"Titan Ape! It's actually it!"

"One of the overlords of the Star Dou Great Forest, a 100,000-year-old soul beast!"

"Only twentieth place? How is that possible?!"

Exclamations of surprise rose and fell throughout the mainland.

But more than anything, there was an incredulous sense of bewilderment.

The Titan Giant Ape is a terrifying being that countless Soul Masters fear, and it is one of the strongest known beings in the Star Dou Great Forest.

In everyone's opinion, even if it's not in the top three, it should definitely be in the top five.

But reality is so cruel; it only ranked twentieth!

what does this mean?
This means that above it, there are at least nineteen more powerful soul beasts!

.......
Star Dou Forest, core area.

The Titan Ape's mountain-like body suddenly trembled, and its enormous fist slammed into the ground, causing the earth to shake violently for miles around.

Its lantern-sized eyes were filled with astonishment and defiance, and it roared in a deep, thunderous voice: "Twentieth? I'm only ranked twentieth? Brother, is this stupid list wrong?"

The colossal body of the Azure Bull Python Daming coiled in the Lake of Life, its bull head raised, its deep snake eyes filled with solemnity and a hint of unease.

It thought more deeply than Erming. Erming ranked 20th, but what about itself?

I'm afraid their ranking won't be very high.

This list seems to completely overturn their perception of their own strength.

Could it be that there are really so many terrifying beings hidden on the mainland that they are unaware of?
"Boom boom boom!"

A golden beam of light traversed space and enveloped Erming.

It felt a surge of pure and powerful energy enter its body, instantly increasing its age as a soul beast and making it more adept at controlling the gravity field, greatly increasing its power.

However, the joy of this improved strength was somewhat overshadowed by the impact of the rankings.

.......
Wuhun Palace, Pope Palace.

Bibi Dong looked at the names and rankings of the Titan Apes, and her dignified face revealed undisguised astonishment.

He even suddenly stood up from his throne.

"Twentieth place? Titan Ape...only twentieth?"

Her phoenix eyes were filled with disbelief.

"How is this possible? Besides it and the Azure Bull Python, could there be other things in the Star Dou Great Forest...?"

Her words came to an abrupt halt as a thought, one that even startled herself, surfaced.

Could my previous guess have been true?

Deep within the Star Dou Great Forest, does an even more ancient and terrifying being truly slumber?

After the initial shock, an overwhelming sense of ecstasy and greed surged within him.

The Titan Ape is ranked 20th, which means there are 19 higher-quality spirit rings and spirit bone sources ahead of it.

This was a godsend for her, as she was adding spirit rings to her second spirit!

But then, a deeper unease followed.

The hidden power of the Soul Beast race is terrifying; if they were to unite...

Can the Spirit Hall still maintain its position as the number one power on the continent?

.......
The Hall of Offerings. Qian Daoliu stared at the glaring "Twentieth Place" and slowly closed his eyes.

A somber expression of "I knew it" crossed his face.

His bad premonition came true.

Golden Crocodile Douluo's voice was hoarse: "Big brother... this..."

Qian Daoliu opened his eyes, his gaze incredibly sharp: "Did you all see that? This is just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to the soul beast race of Douluo Continent!"

"Pass down the order: all Soul Masters on missions outside, especially those entering the Star Dou Great Forest, must be extra careful. Unless they are absolutely certain of victory, they must not easily provoke unknown powerful Soul Beasts!"

Azure Phoenix Douluo, Demon Subduing Douluo, and the others exchanged bewildered glances, all seeing horror in each other's eyes.

They have lived for hundreds of years and believe they know everything about the mainland.

But now, this Soul Beast Ranking makes them feel like frogs in a well.

The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex Clan, and other forces were also utterly shocked by this explosive ranking at the very beginning.

The initial spectator mentality vanished, replaced by deep apprehension.

……

Poseidon Island.

Poseidon looked at the list calmly, as if he had expected it.

The Sea Dragon Douluo beside her sneered, "Those human soul masters on the continent must be dumbfounded now, right? Did they really think those two in the Star Dou Great Forest were the pinnacle of soul beasts?"

"Little did they know that the vastness of the ocean and the number of spirit beasts far surpassed that of the land."

Poseidon nodded slightly, his gaze deep: "Let's see. This list will make them face reality."

……

Before the mainland's soul masters could recover from the shock of the Titan Giant Ape ranking twentieth...

The golden light in the sky flashed again.

Nineteenth place followed immediately!

[Soul Beast Power Ranking, Number Nineteen: Azure Bull Python!]

[Soul Beast Age Limit: 140,000 years]

[Belongs to: Starry Sky Forest]

[Evaluation: Possessing a trace of dragon blood, wielding the power of life and lightning, with a powerful domain, he is the core guardian of the Star Dou Great Forest.]

[Rewards: Soul Beast's age increased by 10,000 years! Slow Domain's power doubled! Azure Divine Saliva (can purify one's own dragon bloodline)]

"Azure Bull Python! It's only nineteenth?"

"Two great forest emperors, one twenty and the other nineteen... My God!"

"Rewards can even purify bloodlines? This..."

If the ranking of Titanapex is shocking...

That day's ranking of the Azure Ox Python completely confirmed the fact that the Star Dou Great Forest harbored an even more terrifying existence!

Even the Azure Bull Python could only rank nineteenth!

....
Star Forest.

The Azure Bull Python silently accepted the baptism of the golden beam of light.

Years of service increased, scope expanded.

In particular, the drop of azure divine saliva, which exuded pure dragon energy and life fluctuations, merged into its body, making it feel its long-dormant bloodline subtly boil.

The potential has been enhanced.

But it felt no joy, only endless heaviness.

How could it and Erming not even make it into the top eighteen?
.......
Looking at the Azure Bull Python's reward, Bibi Dong's eyes gleamed with greed that was almost tangible: "Purified dragon bloodline...good stuff! All good stuff!"

But her vigilance was also at its highest.

The Starry Sky Forest has become a den of dragons and tigers.

Qian Daoliu sighed, "As expected... It seems that those few auras that made my heart tremble will rank even higher."

Just as various forces on the mainland were struggling to process this disruptive information, their minds were in turmoil.

The sky did not stop.

A golden light gathered, and the eighteenth place was announced.

The appearance of the spirit beast and its abode this time made all human spirit masters, including the vast majority of spirit beasts, feel a sense of unfamiliarity and chill!
