Chapter 139 Ocean Beasts Appear on the List in Succession.
One by One Countless gazes, still reeling from the previous battle, locked onto the churning sky.
"Buzz buzz buzz!"
Blood light condensed, and new information suddenly appeared!
[Combat Power Ranking, 14th Place]
[Name: Sea Princess]
[Affiliation: Mermaid Clan (Endless Deep Sea)]
[Beast Type: Soul Beast]
[Soul Beast Age: Approximately 630,000 years]
[Combat Power Evaluation: Chief of the Mermaid Clan, a sea spirit, and the most skilled in mental abilities among sea soul beasts. Her song is exquisitely beautiful, capable of soothing the soul and healing wounds, as well as unleashing destructive tsunamis and tearing apart the soul. She controls a portion of the ocean's authority, resonates with the Heart of the Ocean, and is nearly invincible in the sea. Overall evaluation: Extremely strong combat power, especially in the marine environment, her threat level far exceeds that of ordinary land-based Limit Douluo.]
[Reward: Bloodline purity increased by 10%, spiritual essence greatly enhanced, comprehension of musical power deepened, and soul beast age increased by 10,000 years. (Reward to be issued)]
"The Sea Princess? A 630,000-year-old sea soul beast, previously ranked in the top ten of the soul beast power rankings!"
"The king of the sea, most skilled in spiritual abilities!"
"Almost invincible in the ocean? That's too high a rating!"
"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!"
A commotion swept across the continent!
Although it was expected that those ranked high would be incredibly terrifying soul beasts, the appearance of the Sea Princess, especially the assessment of being "almost invincible in the sea" and "a threat level far exceeding ordinary land-based Limit Douluo," still shocked countless land-based soul masters.
Inside the Beidou Academy.
Lu Xiao looked at the information about the Sea Princess on the sky, a knowing glint in his eyes.
He wasn't surprised by the power of sea soul beasts.
The vast ocean's resources and historical heritage inevitably give rise to beings who rival, or even surpass, the top powerhouses on land.
He nodded to himself, "This power ranking seems to truly consider various environments and conditions, not just pure combat strength."
"The Sea Princess's dominance in the sea certainly deserves this ranking," Li Bai beside him said with a sip of wine.
"A sea spirit? Her song can cause tsunamis?"
"Intriguing, but a pity she's from the sea. Otherwise, I'd love to hear her song and compare it to the sound of my sword."
Inside the Hall of Offerings, Qian Daoliu, who had just returned and was enjoying the boost from the double rewards, saw the Sea Princess's ranking and information.
A hint of seriousness flashed in his golden eyes, but he wasn't too surprised.
"A 630,000-year-old sea spirit beast, a king of the mental type, invincible in the sea," he muttered to himself. "This power ranking considers overall threat and ultimate combat power in various environments. In the sea, I am indeed inferior to her."
"To be ranked below her is... reasonable."
"However, in a land battle, who is stronger is truly uncertain!"
His emotions, which had been somewhat agitated by defeating Tang Chen, had completely calmed down. He now had a clearer understanding of the value of this power ranking and the true structure of the continent.
Poseidon Island.
Under Poseidon's care, Tang Chen stabilized his injuries. After seeing the Sea Princess's ranking, he smiled bitterly, completely relieved.
At the same time, it ignited an even stronger fighting spirit within him.
After recovering from his injuries, he was determined to pursue even greater power!
The Golden Crocodile Douluo and the other elders, after their initial shock, gradually understood as they saw the Grand Elder accept the rankings with equanimity. Many of those on this list were powerful individuals who relied on specific environments or possessed unique abilities.
They couldn't be judged solely from the perspective of land-based Soul Masters.
This made them no longer feel aggrieved by the Grand Elder's rankings, but instead filled them with even greater awe for the mystery and power of this vast world.
Just then!
The vast voice from the heavens, as if performing a routine ritual, 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.
Having just won and riding high on his momentum, would he seize the opportunity to challenge this king of the sea?
Qian Daoliu responded almost without hesitation, his voice carrying through the heavens.
"I refuse!"
This answer surprised many.
But some expressed understanding.
Qian Daoliu looked calmly at the heavens, his mind clear.
He had just endured a fierce battle with Tang Chen, and his soul power was greatly depleted. Although he had received a reward to recover, he was not in perfect condition.
Furthermore, the environment of this 'Endless Arena' was unknown. If it wasn't a marine environment, it would weaken the Sea Princess.
But if it simulated a marine environment, he would undoubtedly lose.
At this moment, challenging him would be a risky proposition, a waste of rewards, and not the act of a wise man.
His refusal was not cowardice, but a calm assessment of the situation.
As the Grand Elder of the Spirit Hall, he needed to weigh the pros and cons and could not act impulsively out of momentary fighting spirit.
Hearing Qian Daoliu's refusal, reactions from all sides on the continent varied.
Some lamented the loss of another epic showdown, while others praised Qian Daoliu's rationality.
"What a pity, I thought we'd see the Angel Douluo battle the Mermaid Princess!"
"Qian Daoliu is smart; challenging her now is indeed not worthwhile."
"I wonder just how strong this Sea Princess is; I really want to see..."
The Heavenly Curtain seemed not to expect Qian Daoliu to accept the challenge; after his refusal, the blood-red light surged violently once more.
"Buzz buzz buzz!"
With an even deeper and more majestic aura, it began to condense the next ranking.
Thirteenth!
Everyone held their breath!
The higher the ranking, the more terrifying the powerful figures would become!
What kind of being would this thirteenth place be?
A long-hidden ancient soul beast?
The Heavenly Curtain's blood-red light did not cease.
"Boom boom boom!"
After Qian Daoliu refused to challenge the Sea Princess, the surging crimson light suddenly became even deeper and heavier.
An ancient, domineering, and slightly cold ocean pressure spread out, completely different from the Sea Princess's pure and ethereal aura. The crimson light twisted, transforming into characters with dark patterns:
[Battle Power Ranking, 13th Place]
[Name: Demon Emperor]
[Affiliation: Deep Sea Demon Whale Clan (Endless Deep Sea)]
[Beast Type: Soul Beast]
[Soul Beast Age: Approximately 660,000 years]
[Battle Power Evaluation: Wife of the Deep Sea Demon Whale King, possessing nearly 700,000 years of profound foundation. The ocean power she controls is vast and pure, containing characteristics of devouring and destruction. Her innate abilities are deeply integrated with the rhythm of the ocean, giving her extremely strong dominance in the deep sea. Overall evaluation: Extremely strong in battle, a top predator and ruler of the ocean.]
[Reward: Significantly increased affinity with the ocean's origin, increased purity of the controlled ocean power, enhanced devouring ability, and an increase of 12,000 years in the soul beast's age. (Rewards to be distributed)]
"The Demon Emperor! The wife of the Deep Sea Demon Whale King!"
"660,000 years! Her foundation is close to 700,000 years!"
"Just as I thought, it seems the combat power between these soul beasts is similar to the previous Soul Beast Power Ranking!"
"The controlled ocean power contains both devouring and destruction? It should be even more aggressive than the Sea Princess!"
The Demon Emperor's appearance once again caused a tremor across the continent.
Inside the Papal Palace.
Bibi Dong looked at the Demon Emperor's information, her eyes growing even darker.
"The Deep Sea Demon Whale King, his wife already possesses such power, how powerful 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 made her fear of the ocean reach its peak.
At the same time, it strengthened her resolve to complete the Rakshasa God Trial as soon as possible.
Only by becoming a god could she have the right to converse with these terrifying beings.
Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo were already somewhat numb.
The two exchanged a glance, both seeing a deep sense of powerlessness in each other's eyes.
The previous ranking of powerful soul beasts had left them with little clear understanding of the lifespan of soul beasts.
Now, the appearance of the combat power ranking made them realize that the strength of soul beasts far surpassed that of human soul masters.
Chrysanthemum Douluo's voice was dry: "Old Ghost, this ocean... it's practically a dragon's den and a tiger's lair."
Ghost Douluo nodded in deep agreement.
The Spirit Hall's dream of dominating the continent seemed utterly laughable in the face of the vast ocean.
On Seagod Island.
Poseidon saw the Demon Emperor's ranking, a hint of understanding and solemnity flashing 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 characteristic within the Demon Emperor's power, subtly resisting the power of the Seagod.
This made her understand that the conflict with the Deep Sea Demon Whale clan was fundamental and irreconcilable.
Tang Chen, who was healing his wounds, frowned and said in a deep voice, "This Deep Sea Demon Whale clan doesn't sound like a friendly bunch, and they even have a million-year-old Deep Sea Demon Whale King."
"Poseidon, the pressure on your Seagod Island is immense."
He felt the heavy burden on his partner's shoulders.
Poseidon nodded slightly, saying nothing, but her grip on the scepter tightened.
