Douluo Continent: Breaking the Million-Year Barrier, the Golden Ranking Exposes Me

Chapter 104 Ocean Overlords Listed in Succession
This caused his cultivation, which was already close to 290,000 years old, to loosen again, and the starlight around him became even more intense.

He closed his eyes, quickly processing the reward, his aura becoming increasingly restrained and profound.

And on the list of successful candidates.

"Buzz!"

The light of the fourteenth-ranked star gradually dimmed, while the halo of the thirteenth-ranked star began to gather.

This time, the condensed light was neither the ethereal light of the spiritual realm nor the vast starry sky of the Kunpeng.

Instead, it carries a chilling and violent quality originating from the deep sea, as if the anger of the entire ocean is condensed within it.

The light grew brighter and brighter, accompanied by the faint roar of towering waves.

A suffocating sense of oppression swept across the continent!
Compared to Xiong Jun's tyranny and the mental oppression of the Demon King, it is purer and more terrifying.

[13th on the Power Ranking: Demon Emperor]

[Origin: The Sea (The True Ruler of the Deep Sea)]

[Cultivation Time Limit: 650,000 years]

[Bloodline Level: Top Tier (Deep Sea Demon Whale, the embodiment of ocean destruction)]

[Combat Power Assessment: Wielding the power of the ocean's origin, its physical body is comparable to a mobile natural disaster, containing pure destructive power that extinguishes life wherever it goes. Its combat power far surpasses that of other soul beasts of the same rank, making it virtually invincible within the ocean domain. It is one of the absolute rulers of the deep sea, inspiring fear in all who hear of it. Overall, it ranks thirteenth.]

[Reward: Enhanced control over ocean power, increased lifespan of soul beasts by 15,000 years, and acquisition of the demigod skill: Ocean Annihilation]

The moment the golden list's message fell!
The expressions of all the powerful figures on the continent changed drastically.

"The Demon Emperor! He really made the list!"

Inside Shrek's Seagod Pavilion.

Yan Shaozhe suddenly stood up, his voice filled with disbelief and solemnity.

"The wife of the Deep Sea Demon Whale King, who was killed by the Sea God Tang San ten thousand years ago!"

The Deep Sea Demon Whale King was a super soul beast that lived nearly a million years ago, ten thousand years ago.

If he hadn't met Tang San, he probably would have already achieved godhood.

His wife is not only still alive, but has also reached 650,000 years of cultivation, has been on the list of strongest soul beasts, and has once again made it onto the list of combat power!
Ordinary Soul Masters on the mainland were plunged into unprecedented panic.

Bear King, King of Ten Thousand Demons, Demon Emperor...

One after another, legendary soul beasts appeared. The one with the lowest cultivation level, Lu Lingtian, had been around for 280,000 years, while the one with the highest cultivation level, the Demon Emperor, had been around for 650,000 years.

Such a lineup filled the human soul masters with despair, and a gloomy atmosphere, like dark clouds, hung over everyone's hearts.

Top-tier soul beasts of the Star Dou Great Forest.

Before they could all make their appearance, the overlord of the deep sea had already emerged.

What other entities will appear on the Gold List next?

How should human forces respond to this increasingly dire situation?
On the list of successful candidates.

The Demon Emperor's name shone brightly, and the terrifying aura originating from the deep sea still lingered.

The brilliance of the list of successful candidates has not yet faded.

As if foreshadowing, more names that will shake the continent are about to be revealed...

[Will the Demon King, ranked fourteenth on the power ranking, challenge the Demon Emperor, ranked thirteenth?]

The Daoist voice of the Golden List rang out immediately after the Demon Emperor's ranking, and the halo carrying a sense of mental pressure rippled slightly, awaiting the response of the King of Ten Thousand Demons.

……

Star Forest.

The Demon King slowly opened his eyes, his gaze fixed on the Demon Emperor's information on the Golden List, a barely perceptible hint of solemnity flashing in his eyes.

Then it turned into complete indifference.

His will, like a gentle breeze, spread across the continent through the power of the golden list: "I will not fight."

Without the slightest hesitation, without the slightest entanglement.

The King of Ten Thousand Demons had his own considerations.

The Demon Emperor is the overlord of the Deep Sea Demon Whale clan. With 650,000 years of cultivation, he controls the power of the ocean and destructive energy. His soul has been tempered under the high pressure of the deep sea, making it as solid as a rock.

His psychological attacks are probably like scratching an itch through a boot.

Once drawn into close combat or locked onto by his destructive energy, his ethereal form and spiritual essence could be torn apart.

Moreover, the deep sea and the land are far apart. Venturing into the opponent's home turf carries a very slim chance of victory.

Furthermore, he had no desire to win; the Demon Emperor and he belonged to different realms and races, and had no conflict of interest.

There's no need to fight to the death for empty fame.

When the Golden List announced the King of Ten Thousand Demons' rejection, the disappointment of the various factions on the continent had long since dissipated.

All that remained was a calm acceptance, a sense of "I knew it."

"The Demon King's move is extremely wise!"

"The Demon Emperor's destructive power and his home ground in the deep sea are inherently effective against spirit-type soul beasts. If he were to fight, it would be like throwing an egg against a rock."

"..."

Inside the imperial palace of the Sun and Moon Empire.

Xu Tianran was already numb; he just stared at the list of successful candidates, his face so gloomy it could drip water.

The top-tier soul beast once again refused the challenge, completely shattering all his unrealistic fantasies.

This also made him realize the existence of the top beings in the Soul Beast race.

Not only are they incredibly powerful, but they also possess a level of rationality and forbearance far beyond human imagination.

……

Starry Sky Forest, Core Area.

Upon hearing the Demon King's refusal, Xiong Jun let out a low, sneer.

This result was obviously not unexpected.

Lu Lingtian slowly opened his eyes and nodded slightly at the Demon King's choice.

Both are Star-level experts.

This rational judgment and ability to assess the situation is the key to the Soul Beast race's ability to unite its power.

On the list of winners, the Demon King's response fell.

His reward was then distributed.

The Demon King was enveloped in a soft halo, his aura becoming increasingly ethereal and profound.

They clearly absorbed the reward in an instant.

But the glory of the list of winners has not faded!

The halo around the twelfth line of the list began to slowly condense.

An aura even more terrifying and domineering than that of the Demon Emperor, like an ancient beast awakening from its slumber, began to spread.

That aura contained a world-destroying power.

It was as if every slight ripple could cause the earth to crack and the ocean to boil.

Everyone instinctively held their breath.

What kind of being could rank above the Demon Emperor?
Are they the ferocious beasts from the Star Dou Great Forest, or powerful soul masters from among the human soul masters?

What choice will the Demon Emperor, this overlord of the deep sea, make?

"Boom boom boom!"

The halo of light on the twelfth line of the list has suddenly erupted!

The light was no longer the cold and violent light of the Demon Emperor, but carried a vast and boundless rhythm of water.

Like the gentleness and grandeur of the entire ocean intertwined at this moment.

It possesses both the gentle warmth that nourishes all things and the majestic power of a raging sea.
