Douluo Continent: A Review of the Top Ten Martial Souls, Qian Renxue Breaks Through Defenses

Chapter 47 Soul Beast Ranking, Number Fourteen: Demon Emperor

Just then, the list was updated again, and the fourteenth place was added.

[Soul Beast Ranking No. 14: Demon Emperor]

【Duration: 390000 years】

[Affiliation: Deep Sea]

[Her true form is a deep-sea demon whale, the wife of the deep-sea demon whale king, and she possesses the ability to devour.]

[Reward: 80,000 years of cultivation, enhanced Devouring Talent, and a small chance to acquire the soul skills of a soul beast or soul master when devouring them.]

The news of the fourteenth-ranked Soul Beast was like a thunderbolt, shattering the tranquility of the Douluo Continent. The title "Demon Emperor" carried the pressure of 39 years and a strange devouring talent, plunging all forces into unprecedented shock.

Starry Sky Forest, Lake of Life.

Gu Yuena stared at the information on the screen, a heavy emotion surging in her usually cold eyes for the first time. Her fingertips hovered above the surface of the lake, remaining motionless for a long time.

"Deep-sea Demon Whale... 39 years old, and it also possesses the talent of devouring."

Her voice was soft, but carried a slight, almost imperceptible tremor. “A 28-year-old Ice Bear King has just appeared in the far north, and now such a ferocious beast has emerged from the deep sea. What this Soul Beast Ranking reveals is a terrifying foundation that the continent has never known before.”

"And that Deep Sea Demon Whale King is probably quite a formidable opponent. If I could use him, he would be a great asset."

Di Tian's dragon aura suddenly subsided, his massive body tensed slightly, and his brows furrowed into a knot.

“My lord, the deep sea has always been a forbidden area for land-based soul beasts, and we know very little about it.”

"This Demon Emperor has grown to 39 years old and has the ability to devour. His combat power is probably no weaker than the King of Ten Thousand Demons, or even... better."

He paused, his tone growing increasingly somber, "What's even more terrifying is that it's only ranked fourteenth. Just how many unknown and terrifying beings lurk beneath the deep sea?"

Titans, Brigitte, and other ferocious beasts gathered around, their eyes filled with shock and fear.

Inside the Papal Palace, Bibi Dong suddenly stood up from the papal throne, her hands clenched so tightly that her nails dug deep into her palms, her eyes filled with disbelief and horror.

"390,000 years! Another ferocious beast that's nearly 400,000 years old!" Her voice trembled slightly, but more so with fury at the absurdity of her understanding.

"The far north, the deep sea... just how many monsters are still hidden on this continent that I don't know about?"

The elders all bowed deeply, not daring to utter a sound.

Lingyuan Douluo said cautiously, "Your Holiness, deep-sea soul beasts rarely set foot on land, but this Demon Emperor's strength is too terrifying. If he leads the deep-sea soul beasts in a sudden attack, our plan to annex the two great empires will be jeopardized..."

"A plan?" Bibi Dong sneered, a ruthless glint in her eyes, yet she couldn't hide her deep-seated apprehension.

"How can we talk about a plan if we don't even know the details of the soul beasts? Immediately issue the order! Activate all coastal informants and investigate the Demon Emperor's habits, weaknesses, and sphere of influence at all costs!"

……

Inside the Hall of Offerings, the atmosphere around the round table where the seven Title Douluos sat was so heavy it seemed frozen in place.

When the Demon Emperor's information appeared, Golden Crocodile Douluo suddenly opened his eyes, his golden pupils bursting with shock, and his soul power almost went out of control.

"A 39-year-old deep-sea demon whale! It can even devour soul skills? This kind of ability is simply heaven-defying!"

Azure Phoenix Douluo suddenly paused, his expression changing drastically: "The deep sea environment is unique, and soul beasts of the same age are inherently stronger than land-based soul beasts."

"This Demon Emperor has lived in the deep sea for 39 years. His combat power is probably far beyond that of an ordinary Title Douluo. Even if I take action, I may not be able to win."

A hint of arrogance flashed in Lion Douluo's eyes, but it was suppressed by the terror of reality, and his tone was filled with resentment.

"Hmph, it's nothing but a deep-sea monster. If it dares to come ashore, I'll tear it to pieces!"

"Alright, stop talking nonsense!" Qian Daoliu spoke slowly, his voice deep and authoritative, instantly silencing all the discussions.

His eyes were filled with solemnity. "The deep sea is its home ground. Our soul power will be greatly suppressed in the water. Moreover, its devouring talent can restrain most soul skills. If we make a rash move, we will only suffer losses."

"However, all of this is irrelevant to us. Helping Xue'er become a god is the most important thing."

"Yes, Grand Elder!" the six Title Douluos replied in unison.

Inside the imperial palace of the Heavenly Dou Empire, Emperor Xue Ye stared at the information on the light screen, his face as pale as paper. The wine cup in his hand crashed to the ground with a "clatter," splashing wine everywhere.

"39 years... There is such a terrifying soul beast in the deep sea! If it leads its army to land, how can my Heavenly Dou Empire... how can my Heavenly Dou Empire resist it?"

Meanwhile, in the deep sea, in a pitch-black area, a huge palace slowly emerged.

The palace, constructed from black coral and pearls, exudes a cold and powerful aura; it is the residence of the Demon Emperor, the Demon Whale Palace.

For some reason, she and her husband, the Deep Sea Demon Whale King, were not in the same sea area.

The Demon Emperor sat on his throne, surrounded by purplish-black energy.

Her true form is a gigantic deep-sea demon whale, over a hundred meters long, with purplish-black skin covered in ferocious patterns, and a pair of enormous eyes that gleam with a cold light.

When the information from the Soul Beast Ranking reached the deep sea, the Demon Emperor suddenly opened his eyes, a flash of wild joy in them.

"39 years... My Devouring Talent has increased, and there's even a chance to acquire the opponent's Soul Skill..."

She roared excitedly, and the purplish-black energy surged wildly within the hall, causing the entire Demon Whale Hall to tremble violently.

"Heaven has not forsaken me!"

The Demon Emperor's voice trembled slightly, "Back then, my husband was severely injured by the Sea God and had no choice but to separate from me, leaving me to lie dormant for many years."

"Now that I have the rewards from the Heavenly Ranking, I will definitely help my husband break through the million-year mark as soon as possible, transcend the tribulation and become a god, so that the entire continent will prostrate itself at my feet!"

She felt the surging power within her body; her 39 years of cultivation surged within her like a burst dam, reaching a total of 47 years.

The enhancement of her Devouring Talent allowed her to more easily devour the energy of the surrounding soul beasts, and she could even vaguely sense that her own soul power had also been greatly improved.

"Roar—" The Demon Emperor roared to the sky, his voice echoing throughout the deep sea.

Hearing her roar, countless deep-sea spirit beasts trembled and lowered their heads, daring not to make the slightest move.

She slowly stood up, her enormous body transforming into a streak of purplish-black light, bursting out of the Demon Whale Palace and swimming towards the deeper reaches of the deep sea.

There, countless powerful deep-sea spirit beasts reside, making it an excellent place for her to enhance her strength.

Just as she was wreaking havoc, the rankings were updated again.

[Number 13 on the Soul Beast Ranking: Ice Emperor]

【Duration: 390000 years】

[Affiliation: Far North]

[Evaluation: Its true form is the Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion, wielding ultimate ice power while also possessing formidable physical strength. This type of soul beast is renowned for its "Ice Explosion Technique," which, once activated, is unparalleled in its power. However, it has never mastered it.]

[Reward: 80,000 years of cultivation, innate talent "Ice Explosion Technique"]

The information about the thirteenth place on the Soul Beast Ranking pierced the sky. The words "Ice Emperor" carried the pressure of 47 years and the terrifying talent of "Ice Explosion Technique," instantly igniting the boiling of the far north.

In the far north, on the ice plains outside the Ice Emperor's Palace, countless ice and snow spirit beasts roared to the sky, and snow-white ice mist soared into the air. Cheers and the rumbling of the trembling ice layer intertwined and resounded throughout the entire far northern wilderness.
