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

Chapter 99, Part 15

This dragon's roar was completely different from Liu Erlong's blazing dragon roar. It did not have the explosive heat that could burn the whole world, but instead carried a chilling, ancient, and almost tangible ferocious pressure that made people tremble in their souls!

It was as if a peerless ferocious beast that had been sleeping for ten thousand years had slowly opened its eyes in the abyss!
Above the sky, the remaining crimson-gold color of the Fire Dance Ranking was brutally torn apart and devoured by a dark purple energy that appeared out of nowhere!
The dark purple color wasn't flames, but rather a viscous, almost tangible mixture of darkness and destructive energy. It churned and coalesced, transforming into boundless dark purple clouds that instantly enveloped the entire sky.

With sunlight completely blocked, the continent seemed to have fallen from daylight into an eerie, ghostly twilight.

Amidst the dark purple clouds, lightning flashed and thunder roared, but it was not the ordinary silver-white lightning; rather, it was a dark red, almost black, destructive lightning. Each flash sent shivers down the spines of the onlookers, as if their souls were about to be taken away by the lightning.

Finally, the dark purple mist coalesced into an unprecedented list, its borders entwined with twisted dragon-shaped dark patterns and crimson lightning. The list's material was neither gold nor jade, gleaming with a cold metallic luster and a faint purple glow.

Dark purple text, carrying a chilling and majestic quality that penetrates to the depths of the soul, slowly emerged:

[Goddess Ranking #15: Murasaki]

[Cultivation Level: 290,000-year-old ferocious beast (comparable to a level 97 peak Douluo in human form)]

[Affiliation: Core Area of ​​Star Dou Great Forest]

[Evaluation: A descendant of the Dragon Clan, the Demon Dragon King of Hell, ranked ninth among the Ten Great Ferocious Beasts. With pure bloodline and overwhelming combat power, he commands darkness and destruction. He has cultivated in seclusion deep within the Star Dou Great Forest for ten thousand years, his strength unfathomable. He is one of the top combat forces and foundations of the Soul Beast race.]

[Reward 1: Bloodline reversion, evolving into the 'Abyssal Demon Dragon', cultivation level increased by 15,000 years, reaching the 305,000-year realm, infinitely approaching the threshold of the million-year chasm, and greatly deepening comprehension of the laws of darkness, destruction, and lightning.]

[Reward Two: Awaken your innate talent domain – 'Dragon Purgatory', with a maximum range of 500 li (approximately 250 kilometers) at will, normally maintaining a range of 100 li (approximately 50 kilometers). Within the domain, all your attributes are increased by 80%, greatly enhancing the dragon's aura. You can summon abyssal demonic flames and hellish thunderstorms to attack, significantly weakening the combat power of non-dark attribute beings within the domain by 20% to 50% depending on the difference in strength, and continuously eroding their soul power and life force.]

[Reward 3: Obtain one 'Dragon God's Reverse Scale' (Imitation), containing a trace of the Dragon God's protective will. It can withstand one fatal attack below the God level and reflect a portion of the damage. With long-term wear, there is a chance to comprehend higher-level dragon mysteries.]

Quiet.

Deathly silence.

If the previous inclusion of Liu Erlong, Xue Ke, and Huo Wu on the list brought shock, surprise, envy, jealousy, and other emotions belonging to the human realm to the people of mainland China.

At this moment, the appearance of the name Zi Ji, and the series of information that followed that was completely beyond the comprehension of ordinary people, brought a kind of suffocating fear, bewilderment, and horror that the worldview was completely overturned!
"A ferocious... ferocious beast? 290,000 years old?! Comparable to a level 98 peak Douluo?!"

After a brief silence, countless Soul Masters across the continent, from low-level to Title Douluo, gasped in disbelief, their voices trembling with disbelief.

"The core area of ​​the Star Dou Great Forest... Soul Beasts? Soul Beasts... can be on the list?! This Goddess Ranking actually includes Soul Beasts?!"

"The Hell Dragon King... ranked ninth among the Ten Great Ferocious Beasts... My God, such a terrifying existence is hidden deep within the Star Dou Great Forest? And judging from this, there are at least eight more such beings?!"

"His cultivation level increased by 15,000 years! 305,000 years! This...this has exceeded our understanding of the lifespan of soul beasts!"

"A domain! Another domain! And its range can reach up to five hundred miles?! What a terrifying domain! It's practically a mobile death inferno!"

"Dragon God's Reverse Scale (Imitation)... Resists attacks that are certain to kill those below the god level... This life-saving ability is heaven-defying!"

"Soul beasts...such powerful soul beasts...they have always been around us, in the deepest part of the Star Dou Great Forest...and we humans hunt soul beasts to obtain soul rings..." A chilling coldness shot from the soles of countless soul masters straight to the top of their heads!
They finally realized that this mysterious "Goddess Ranking" had a scope far exceeding the power struggles within humanity.

It encompasses all living beings on the entire Douluo Continent!
The Soul Beast race possesses peak power that is in no way inferior to the top human forces, and may even be more ancient and terrifying!

Previously, humanity's understanding of spirit beasts was mostly limited to the fact that a spirit beast that lived for 100,000 years was considered top-tier and required multiple Title Douluos to deal with.

At this moment, the words "Ten Ferocious Beasts", "290,000 years", and "comparable to a level 98 peak Douluo" completely shattered this perception.

The Star Dou Great Forest, that vast and boundless ancient forest that has nurtured countless soul beasts and is regarded by countless soul masters as a hunting ground and training ground, has such a terrifying behemoth lurking in its deepest part!
Starry Sky Forest, core area, by the Lake of Life.

This is a world completely different from the outside world.

The lake water is as clear as the purest jade, containing boundless life energy, and a faint, colorful mist hangs over its surface.

Ancient trees stand tall by the lake, each exuding an ancient aura.

Normally, this place is an absolute forbidden area. Apart from a few individuals, even 100,000-year-old soul beasts dare not approach it easily.

At this moment, on a smooth, black boulder by the lake, lies a stunningly beautiful figure.

She wore a tight-fitting, dark purple scale armor dress that accentuated her stunningly curvaceous figure.

The skirt had a very high slit, revealing two long, straight legs that were covered in a sheen like light black stockings.

Her skin was as white as snow, which made her even more striking against the backdrop of her dark purple attire.

Her face was stunningly beautiful, with a pair of captivating violet eyes that seemed to steal one's soul with every glance.

A small, dark red dragon-shaped mark between his eyebrows added a touch of both eeriness and nobility.

Her long, wine-red hair cascaded down like a waterfall, with a few strands falling across her chest, rising and falling gently with her breath.

It was none other than the Hell Dragon King, Zi Ji.

She was lazily playing with a strand of hair, her purple eyes half-open, seemingly enjoying the tranquil atmosphere emanating from the Lake of Life.

As the sky changed, her own abyssal dragon roar resounded, and when the list appeared, she slowly sat up straight.

The languidness in her violet eyes vanished instantly, replaced by a deep, unfathomable coldness, surprise, and a hint of...amusement?
"Goddess Ranking? Fifteenth? Interesting..."

Zi Ji's red lips curved into a captivating smile, her voice possessing a unique magnetism that was both alluring and subtly powerful.
