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

Chapter 22 Everyone’s Shock

[Douluo Continent Soul Beast Power Ranking, Number 18: Demon Spirit!]

The eighteenth line of the list was shrouded in a sinister and eerie dark green light.

A phantom-like figure, seemingly without substance, surrounded by the wailing of wronged souls, appeared.

【Name: Demon Spirit】

[Belongs to: Star Dou Great Forest (One of the Ten Ferocious Beasts)]

[Cultivation Time Limit: 280,000 years]

[Bloodline Level: High-level (Mysterious Spirit-type Soul Beast)]

[Combat Strength Assessment: Specializes in mental attacks and manipulation, its movements are elusive and difficult to defend against. Its attacks can directly affect the soul, possessing absolute suppressive power against those with lower mental strength. Ranked last among the Ten Ferocious Beasts, its unique characteristics make it extremely difficult to kill. Overall, it ranks eighteenth.]

[Reward: Soul Beast's age increased by 30,000 years, spiritual essence strengthened, and stealth ability greatly enhanced!]

"A demon spirit! One of the ten most ferocious beasts!"

"Two hundred and eighty thousand years of cultivation! And yet... he's only ranked eighteenth!"

"Even the Ten Great Ferocious Beasts can only be ranked starting from the eighteenth? What about those ahead of them...?"

At this moment, the entire human soul master force of the Douluo Continent...

They finally confirmed a fact that sent chills down their spines.

Their previous understanding of the top combat power of soul beasts was one-sided.

Even wrong!

The Ten Ferocious Beasts are not the pinnacle of the Soul Beast world!
Above them, there exist even more powerful and unknown terrifying beings!
The Demon Spirit, one of the ten most ferocious beasts with a notorious reputation in human records for over two hundred thousand years, is only ranked eighteenth on the Soul Beast List!
This ranking was like a heavy hammer blow, striking hard on the hearts of all those who still held a sense of superiority over the strength of human soul masters.

Inside the Sea God Pavilion at Shrek Academy, you could hear a pin drop.

Yan Shaozhe said in a hoarse voice, "Demon Spirit Eighteen... Teacher, your premonition was right. The Star Dou Great Forest definitely hides a shocking secret."

Xian Lin'er's face turned pale: "The last of the Ten Great Ferocious Beasts is ranked eighteenth, so who else is ahead of them besides the known ones?"

"Could it be... that million-year-old soul beasts really exist?"

Xuanzi took a big gulp of wine, but found it extremely bitter: "With so many rewards for the soul beasts, their strength has skyrocketed. How are they going to hunt for soul rings in the future?"

Elder Mu's sharp gaze swept over the crowd: "Panic is useless. Immediately adjust your strategy towards soul beasts. Send a message to all forces friendly with the academy that during the Golden Ranking period and for some time afterward, it is strictly forbidden to provoke any soul beasts older than ten thousand years, especially those from the Star Dou Great Forest!"

"We'll discuss everything once the list is fully released!"

Xuanzi nodded slowly and added, "At the same time, strengthen the academy's defenses and activate some concealment formations. I have a premonition that the balance of the continent is about to be completely broken."

Holy Spirit Church Headquarters.

Zhongli Wu stared intently at the names of the demons on the list of demons, his hands beneath his black robe turning white from the excessive force.

His voice was chilling, trembling with disbelief.
"The Three-Eyed Golden Lion, the Titan Snow Demon King, and now even the Demon Spirit is only ranked eighteenth!"

He whirled around, looking at Ye Xishui in the shadows: "Right now, this... how is this possible? The demon spirit is a nearly 300,000-year-old ferocious beast, ranking among the top ten ferocious beasts, how could it..."

Ye Xishui's body rippled violently with crimson light, and her tone was more solemn than ever before.

"I sensed an unusual aura deep within the Star Dou Great Forest long ago."

"But I never expected... I never expected the strength of the Soul Beast race to be so deeply hidden!"

A hint of apprehension flashed in her crimson eyes: "Even the demon spirit can only rank eighteenth, which means that there are at least seventeen more powerful soul beasts in places we don't know about."

"That Di Tian, ​​who has always been our enemy, is probably far more powerful than we imagine."

Long Xiaoyao, who had been silent all along, slowly opened his lifeless eyes, his voice low and deep.

"That three-eyed golden lion has 60,000 years of cultivation but possesses 150,000 years of combat power. If it continues to grow, it will surely become a great threat in time."

The high-ranking members of the Holy Spirit Church looked at each other in silence, a thick shadow hanging over their hearts.

They suddenly realized.

On this continent, besides Shrek Academy and the Body Sect—these are the obvious rivals—there exists an even more terrifying and unfathomable enemy: the Soul Beast race.

Ontology.

Inside the secret room, Poison Undying looked at the rankings on the gold list.

For the first time, a look of horror appeared on that usually arrogant face.

"Three-Eyed Golden Lion, Titan Snow Demon King, Demon Spirit"

With each name he uttered, his voice deepened, "What a magnificent race of spirit beasts! What a magnificent Star Dou Great Forest!"

He slammed his fist on the black iron table next to him.

The table, which was strong enough to withstand a full-force attack from a Title Douluo, instantly turned to dust.

"I've always thought that apart from those old guys like Di Tian, ​​the other soul beasts are nothing to be afraid of."

"Now it seems I was the one who was the fool who had such a narrow view of the world!"

Jin Peng stood aside, his expression equally solemn: "Sect Master, even a demon spirit that is nearly 300,000 years old can only be ranked eighteenth, which means that there are at least seventeen beings stronger than it in the Star Dou Great Forest."

"This number is terrifying."

Du Bu Si stared at the list of successful candidates, his eyes filled with complex emotions: "I originally thought that with our combined strength, we could roam freely across the continent."

"It seems that if the Soul Beast race truly has any ambitions, the entire continent might be thrown into chaos."

He took a deep breath, a hint of lingering fear on his face: "Fortunately...fortunately, I haven't ventured too deep into the Star Dou Great Forest these past few years, otherwise..."

He didn't finish his sentence, but Jin Peng understood what he meant.

Given the hidden strength displayed by the Soul Beast race, if the Body Sect truly angers them, they might not even know how they died.

At this moment, Poison Undying realized something profound.

On this continent that appears to be dominated by humans.

There is also an even older and more terrifying force lurking in the shadows.

The publication of the Golden List is slowly revealing the tip of the iceberg of this power to the world.

Star Dou Forest, core area.

The demon spirit lurked in the shadows, sensing the increase in its age and the surge in its spiritual power, as well as its ability to conceal itself almost as if it were one with the shadows.

It emitted a silent, sharp whistle, filled with pleasure.

Di Tian stood behind Lu Chen and Gu Yuena, looking at the list, and sneered, "That guy Yao Ling is lucky, but he's only eighteenth... My lord, Lord Lu, it seems that my Star Dou Great Forest is going to shock the world this time."

Brigitte smiled gently and said, "This is a good thing. It lets everyone know the true strength of our clan and can also reduce a lot of unnecessary conflicts."

The Demon King, Bear King, and other ferocious beasts also had burning eyes, eagerly anticipating their own rankings and rewards.

Lu Chen stood with his hands behind his back, gazing at the list that shimmered with golden light, a meaningful smile playing on his lips.

"This is just the beginning. The real show is yet to come. Let humanity see just how ridiculous their so-called understanding is."

Gu Yuena's deep purple eyes said calmly, "It's fine to expose yourself. Only by showing enough power can you win true respect and... fear."

The release of the Soul Beast Ranking was like lifting a corner of Pandora's box, revealing a portion of the hidden strength of the Soul Beast race to the world.

This triggered a huge shock and strategic adjustments in the human world.

As the rankings continue to rise, more hidden ancient entities will soon be revealed!

The golden list, after announcing the eighteenth place, began to shine once again.

Which powerful soul beast will be ranked seventeenth?

Will the shock it brings be even more astonishing?
The entire continent is holding its breath in anticipation.
