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

Chapter 139 Sea Beasts Appear on the List in Succession
Countless gazes, still reeling from the previous battle, were filled with excitement and awe.

Once again, they locked their gaze firmly onto the center of the churning sky.

"Buzz!"

As the blood-red light coalesced, new information suddenly emerged!

[Power Ranking, 14th]

Name: Sea Princess

[Affiliation: Mermaid Clan (Endless Deep Sea)]

[Beast Type: Soul Beast]

[Soul Beast Age: Approximately 630,000 years]

[Combat Strength Assessment: Chief of the Merfolk Clan, a sea spirit, and the king among sea spirit beasts most skilled in mental abilities. His song is exquisitely beautiful, capable of both soothing the soul and healing wounds, as well as unleashing devastating tsunamis and tearing apart the soul. He wields partial control of the ocean, resonates with the Heart of the Ocean, and is nearly invincible in the sea. Overall, his combat strength is extremely high, especially in the marine environment, where his threat level far exceeds that of ordinary land-based Limit Douluo.]

[Reward: Bloodline purity increased by 10%, spiritual essence greatly enhanced, comprehension of the power of music deepened, and soul beast's lifespan increased by 10,000 years. (Reward to be distributed)]

"Sea Princess? A 630,000-year-old sea spirit beast, previously ranked among the top ten on the spirit beast power ranking!"

"The king of the sea, most skilled in mental abilities!"

"Almost invincible in the ocean? That's way too high a compliment!"

"No wonder she ranks above Qian Daoliu and Tang Chen! In the sea, even the two of them combined might not be a match for this Sea Princess!"

The entire mainland was in an uproar!
Although it was expected that the top-ranked creatures would be extremely terrifying soul beasts.

But the appearance of the Sea Princess, especially the evaluation that she was "almost invincible in the sea" and "her threat level far exceeds that of ordinary land-based Limit Douluo".

It still sends shivers down the spines of countless land-based Soul Masters.

Inside the Beidou Academy.

Lu Xiao looked at the information about Princess Shanghai in the Sky Curtain, a look of understanding flashing in his eyes.

He was not surprised by the power of the sea spirit beast.

The vast ocean's resources and rich history inevitably give rise to beings that rival, or even surpass, the strongest on land.

He nodded to himself: "It seems that the evaluation of this combat power ranking does take into account various environments and conditions, and is not simply based on combat power."

"The Sea Princess's dominance in the sea truly deserves this ranking."

Li Bai, who was beside him, took a sip of wine and laughed.

"Sea spirits? Their songs can trigger tsunamis?"

"That's quite interesting. It's a pity she's from the sea, otherwise I'd like to hear her singing and compare it to the sound of my sword."

Enshrined in the temple.

Having just returned and enjoying the boost in strength from the double rewards, Qian Daoliu saw the Sea Princess's ranking and information.

A hint of seriousness flashed in his golden eyes, but there was nothing particularly surprising about it.

"A 630,000-year-old sea spirit beast, the king of the spirit type, invincible in the sea."

He muttered to himself, "This combat power ranking takes into account the overall threat level and the ultimate combat power in various environments. In the ocean, I am indeed inferior to her."

"It's... reasonable for him to be ranked below her."

"However, when it comes to fighting on land, it's really not certain who will be stronger!"

His initial excitement at defeating Tang Chen had completely subsided.

This has given me a clearer understanding of the value of this power ranking and the true landscape of the mainland.

Poseidon Island.

Under Poseidon's care, Tang Chen's injuries stabilized. After seeing the ranking of the Sea Princess, he gave a wry smile and felt completely relieved.

This also ignited his fighting spirit.

Once I recover from my injuries, I must seek even greater power!
After their initial shock, the Golden Crocodile Douluo and other retainers gradually came to understand as they saw the Grand Elder accept the situation calmly.

This is on the list.

Many of them are strong individuals who rely on specific environments or possess unique abilities.

It cannot be judged solely from the perspective of a land-based Soul Master.

This also made them no longer feel aggrieved about their ranking among the high priests, but instead made them even more awe-inspiring of the mystery and power of this vast world.

at this time!

The vast sound of the sky, as if it were a routine matter, once again resounded in Qian Daoliu's mind:

[Qian Daoliu! Do you wish to apply to open the 'Endless Arena' and challenge the fourteenth Sea Princess?]

The eyes of the entire continent were once again focused on Qian Daoliu.

He had just won and was riding high on his momentum.

Will they seize the opportunity to challenge this king of the sea?

Qian Daoliu responded almost without hesitation, his voice carrying through the sky.

"I reject!"

This answer surprised many people.

However, some people expressed their understanding.

Qian Daoliu gazed calmly at the sky, his mind clear.

He had just gone through a fierce battle with Tang Chen, and his soul power was greatly depleted. Although he received a reward to recover, he was not in perfect condition.

The environment of this 'Endless Arena' is unknown, and if it is not a marine environment, it will weaken the Sea Princess.

However, if the environment is simulated as marine, he will undoubtedly lose. Challenging him at this point would be a gamble with little chance of success, a waste of rewards, and not the act of a wise man.

His refusal was not out of cowardice.

Rather, it was a calm assessment based on the situation.

As the Grand Elder of the Spirit Hall, he needs to weigh the pros and cons and cannot act impulsively due to momentary fighting spirit.

Upon hearing Qian Daoliu's refusal, various parties on the mainland reacted differently.

Some lamented the absence of another epic showdown, while others praised Qian Daoliu's rationality.

"What a pity, I thought I'd see Angel Douluo battle the Mermaid Princess!"

"Qian Daoliu is very smart; it's really not worth it to challenge him now."

"I wonder just how strong this sea princess is. I really want to see for myself..."

The sky seemed not to expect Qian Daoliu to accept the challenge, and after he refused, the blood light surged violently again.

"Buzz!"

With an even deeper and more majestic aura, it began to solidify the next ranking.

Thirteenth place!

Everyone held their breath!
The higher you rank, the more terrifying the powerful figures will become!
What kind of being is this thirteenth?
Is it an ancient soul beast that has been hidden for a long time?
The blood-red light in the sky did not stop.

"Boom boom boom!"

After Qian Daoliu refused to challenge the Sea Princess, the surging crimson suddenly became even deeper and heavier.

It was as if an ancient, domineering, and slightly cold oceanic pressure spread out.

Completely different from the pure and ethereal aura of the sea princess.

The blood-red light twisted and transformed into characters with dark, indistinct patterns:
[Power Ranking, 13th]

[Name: Demon Emperor]

[Affiliation: Deep Sea Demon Whale Clan (Endless Deep Sea)]

[Beast Type: Soul Beast]

[Soul Beast Age: Approximately 660,000 years]

[Combat Power Assessment: Wife of the Deep Sea Demon Whale King, possessing a profound foundation spanning nearly 700,000 years. The ocean power she wields is vast and pure, containing characteristics of devouring and destruction. Her innate abilities are deeply integrated with the rhythms of the ocean, granting her immense dominance in the deep sea. Overall, she possesses extremely high combat power, placing her at the top of the ocean as a predator and ruler.]

[Rewards: Significantly increased affinity with the ocean's essence, increased purity of controlled ocean power, enhanced devouring abilities, and an increase of 12,000 years in the lifespan of the soul beast. (Rewards to be distributed)]

"The Demon Queen! The wife of the Deep Sea Demon Whale King!"

"Six hundred and sixty thousand years! Its foundation is close to seven hundred thousand years!"

"Just as I thought, it seems the combat strength among these soul beasts is similar to the previous Soul Beast Power Ranking!"

"The power of the ocean that he controls contains the potential for devouring and destruction? He should be even more aggressive than the Sea Princess!"

The appearance of the Demon Emperor once again caused a stir across the continent.

Inside the Papal Palace.

Bibi Dong's eyes grew even darker as she looked at the Demon Emperor's information.

"If the wife of the Deep Sea Demon Whale King is already so powerful, how much stronger must it be after breaking through a million years?"

She couldn't imagine just how powerful that soul beast, known as the overlord of the ocean, truly was.

This brought her fear of the ocean to its peak.

At the same time, it strengthened his resolve to complete the Rakshasa God's test as soon as possible.

Only by becoming a god can one gain the right to converse with these terrifying beings.

Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo have become somewhat numb.

The two looked at each other and saw a deep sense of powerlessness in each other's eyes.

The previous ranking of powerful soul beasts left them with no clear concept of the lifespan of soul beasts.

Now, the power rankings have appeared!

This made them realize that the power of soul beasts far surpassed that of human soul masters.

Chrysanthemum Douluo's voice was hoarse: "Old ghost, this ocean... it's practically a den of dragons and tigers."

Ghost Douluo nodded in deep agreement.

The Spirit Hall's dream of dominating the continent seems so laughable in the face of the vast ocean.

On Poseidon Island.

When Poseidon saw the ranking of the Demon Emperor, a look of understanding and solemnity flashed in her sea-blue eyes.

"The Demon Emperor... the Deep Sea Demon Whale clan's control over the ocean is indeed domineering."

She could sense the devouring nature within the Demon Emperor's power, a power that subtly clashed with the Sea God's power.

This made her realize that the conflict with the Deep Sea Demon Whale Clan was fundamental and irreconcilable.

Tang Chen, who was healing his injuries, frowned and said in a deep voice, "This Deep Sea Demon Whale clan doesn't sound like a good bunch, and they even have a million-year-old Deep Sea Demon Whale King."

“Poseidon Island is under considerable pressure.”

He sensed the heavy burden on his partner's shoulders.

Poseidon nodded slightly without saying anything more, but tightened his grip on the scepter.
