Chapter 139: Vicious Sea Beasts Appear on the List Sequentially
Countless gazes, carrying excitement and shock that had yet to subside from the previous battle.
were once again fixed intently on the center of the surging heavenly curtain.
"Buzz, buzz, buzz!"
The blood-red light coalesced, and new information abruptly appeared!
[Power Ranking List, Fourteenth Place]
[Name: Sea Princess]
[Affiliation: Mermaid Clan (Endless Deep Sea)]
[Creature Type: Soul Beast]
[Soul Beast Age: Approximately 630,000 years]
[Combat Power Assessment: The Clan Chief of the Mermaid Clan, an Elf of the Sea, and the king among Sea Soul Beasts most skilled in Spiritual abilities. Her singing is exquisitely beautiful; it can both soothe the Soul and heal wounds, and also incite devastating tsunamis and tear apart the divine soul. She controls partial Oceanic Authority and resonates with the Heart of the Ocean, making her virtually invincible in the great sea. Overall Assessment: Extremely powerful combat capability, especially in a maritime environment, where her threat level far surpasses that of ordinary land Limit Douluo.]
[Reward: Bloodline purity increased by 10%, Spiritual Origin greatly enhanced, deeper comprehension of the Power of Musical Rhythm, Soul Beast Age increased by 10,000 years. (Reward pending distribution)]
"Sea Princess? A 630,000-year Sea Soul Beast, an existence previously ranked among the top ten on the soul beast power ranking list!"
"The king of the sea most skilled in Spiritual abilities!"
"Virtually invincible in the great sea? That assessment is too high!"
"No wonder she ranks above Qian Daoliu and Tang Chen! In the sea, perhaps even the two of them combined wouldn't be a match for this Sea Princess!"
The continent was in an uproar!
Although it was long expected that the high-ranking existences would be terrifying Soul Beasts.
the appearance of the Sea Princess, especially the assessment of her being "virtually invincible in the sea" and "threat level far surpassing ordinary land Limit Douluo."
still shocked countless land Soul Masters.
Inside Big Dipper Academy.
Lu Xiao looked at the Sea Princess's information on the heavenly curtain, a hint of understanding flashing in his eyes.
He was not surprised by the strength of Sea Soul Beasts.
Given the resources and historical foundation of the vast ocean, the emergence of existences comparable to, or even surpassing, the continent's top powerhouses was inevitable.
He nodded secretly: "The judgment criteria for this Power Ranking List clearly consider various environments and conditions; it's not based purely on combat power."
"The Sea Princess's dominance in the sea certainly justifies this ranking."
Li Bai, who was beside him, took a sip of wine and smiled.
"An Elf of the Sea? Her singing can trigger tsunamis?"
"That's quite interesting. It's a pity she lives in the sea; otherwise, I'd like to hear whose sound is more beautiful—her singing or my Sword Chant."
Inside the Hall of Worship.
Qian Daoliu, who had just returned and was feeling the strength increase brought by the double reward, saw the Sea Princess's ranking and information.
A trace of solemnity flashed in his golden eyes, but not much surprise.
"A 630,000-year Sea Soul Beast, a Spiritual-type king, invincible in the sea..."
He muttered softly, "This Power Ranking List assesses overall threat and maximum combat power under various conditions. In the great sea, I am indeed inferior to her."
"To be ranked below her is... reasonable."
"However, if we were to fight on land, it's truly uncertain who is stronger and who is weaker!"
His turbulent emotions, which had been stirred by defeating Tang Chen, completely calmed down at this moment.
He gained a clearer understanding of the true value of this Power Ranking List and the genuine structure of the World.
Sea God Island.
Tang Chen, stabilizing his injuries under Bo Saixi's care, also gave a wry smile after seeing the Sea Princess's ranking, feeling completely relieved.
At the same time, it stirred up a stronger fighting spirit in him.
After his injuries recovered, he resolved to pursue even greater strength!
As for Gold Crocodile Douluo and the other Priests, after their initial shock, seeing that the High Priest had accepted the ranking calmly, they gradually understood.
The existences on this list.
Many were powerhouses who relied on specific environments or possessed unique abilities.
They could not be simply measured from the perspective of a land Soul Master.
This also made them feel less aggrieved about the High Priest's ranking, instead increasing their reverence for the mystery and power of this vast World.
Just then!
The vast voice of the heavenly curtain, as if performing a routine duty, echoed once again in Qian Daoliu's mind:
[Qian Daoliu! Do you apply to activate the 'Endless Arena' to challenge the fourteenth-ranked Sea Princess?]
The gaze of the entire continent once again focused on Qian Daoliu.
He had just won and was currently at the Peak of his Aura.
Would he seize the momentum to challenge this King of the Sea?
Qian Daoliu responded loudly with almost no hesitation, his voice spreading through the heavenly curtain.
"I refuse!"
This answer surprised many people.
But others expressed understanding.
Qian Daoliu looked calmly at the heavenly curtain, his mind clear.
He had just gone through a fierce battle with Tang Chen, and his Soul Power consumption was immense. Although the reward offered recovery, he was not in perfect condition.
Furthermore, the environment of this 'Endless Arena' was unknown. If it wasn't a maritime environment, it would weaken the Sea Princess.
But if it simulated a maritime environment, he would certainly lose.
Challenging now meant slim chances of victory and a waste of the reward; it was not the action of a wise man.
His refusal was not cowardice.
Rather, it was a calm assessment based on the situation.
As the High Priest of Spirit Hall, he needed to weigh the pros and cons and could not act impulsively due to momentary Battle Intent.
Hearing Qian Daoliu's refusal, various parties on the continent reacted differently.
Some regretted missing another Peak showdown, while others praised Qian Daoliu's rationality.
"What a shame! I thought we'd get to see the Angel Douluo fight the Mermaid Princess!"
"Qian Daoliu is very smart; challenging now is indeed not worthwhile."
"I wonder just how strong this Sea Princess really is. I truly want to witness it..."
The heavenly curtain did not seem to expect Qian Daoliu to accept the challenge; after his refusal, the blood-red light surged violently once more.
"Buzz, buzz, buzz!"
Carrying an even deeper and more imposing Aura, it began to condense the next ranking.
Thirteenth Place!
Everyone held their breath and focused intently!
The higher the rank, the more terrifying the powerhouse that appears!
What kind of existence would this thirteenth place be?
Is it an ancient Soul Beast that has been hidden for a long time?
The blood-red light of the heavenly curtain did not stop.
"Boom, boom, boom!"
After Qian Daoliu refused to challenge the Sea Princess, the surging crimson color suddenly became deeper and heavier.
It was as if an oceanic pressure, ancient, domineering, and slightly icy, spread out.
It was completely different from the pure and ethereal Aura of the Sea Princess.
The blood-red light twisted, transforming into characters with dark, heavy patterns:
[Power Ranking List, Thirteenth Place]
[Name: Demon Empress]
[Affiliation: Deep Sea Demon Whale Clan (Endless Deep Sea)]
[Creature Type: Soul Beast]
[Soul Beast Age: Approximately 660,000 years]
[Combat Power Assessment: The wife of the Deep Sea Demon Whale King, possessing a profound foundation of nearly 700,000 years. The Oceanic Power she controls is vast and pure, containing the characteristics of Devouring and Destruction. Her innate abilities are deeply integrated with the Oceanic Rhythm, giving her immense dominance in the deep sea. Overall Assessment: Extremely powerful combat capability; she is an apex predator and ruler of the ocean.]
[Reward: Affinity with the Oceanic Origin greatly increased, purity of controlled Oceanic Power enhanced, Devouring strengthened, Soul Beast Age increased by 12,000 years. (Reward pending distribution)]
"The Demon Empress! The wife of the Deep Sea Demon Whale King!"
"660,000 years! Her foundation is close to 700,000 years!"
"As expected, it seems the combat power among these Soul Beasts is similar to the previous soul beast power ranking list!"
"The Oceanic Power she controls contains Devouring and Destruction? She must be more aggressive than the Sea Princess!"
The appearance of the Demon Empress once again shook the continent.
Inside the Supreme Pontiff Palace.
Bibi Dong looked at the Demon Empress's information, her eyes growing darker.
"The Deep Sea Demon Whale King's wife already possesses such might. How powerful must the King be, having surpassed a million years?"
She couldn't imagine how powerful that Soul Beast, known as the Overlord of the Ocean, truly was.
This brought her apprehension towards the ocean to its Peak.
At the same time, it reinforced her resolve to complete the Rakshasa God Trial as quickly as possible.
Only by achieving godhood would she possess the qualifications to converse with these terrifying existences.
Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo were already feeling somewhat numb.
The two exchanged glances, both seeing a profound sense of powerlessness in the other's eyes.
Previously, the soul beast power ranking list hadn't given them a clear concept of the Soul Beast age limits.
Now, with the appearance of the Power Ranking List!
They realized that the foundation of Soul Beasts far surpassed that of human Soul Masters.
Chrysanthemum Douluo's voice was dry: "Old Ghost, this ocean... it's simply a Dragon's Den and Tiger's Lair."
Ghost Douluo nodded in deep agreement.
He felt that Spirit Hall's dream of dominating the continent seemed utterly ridiculous in the face of the vast ocean.
On Sea God Island.
Bo Saixi saw the Demon Empress's ranking, and a hint of understanding and solemnity flashed in her sea-blue eyes.
"The Demon Empress... the Deep Sea Demon Whale Clan's control over the ocean is indeed domineering."
She could feel the Devouring characteristic in the Demon Empress's power, subtly opposing the Power of the Sea God.
This made her realize that the conflict with the Deep Sea Demon Whale Clan was fundamental and irreconcilable.
Tang Chen, who was healing, also frowned and said in a deep voice, "This Deep Sea Demon Whale Clan doesn't sound like a benign presence, and they have a million-year-old Deep Sea Demon Whale King."
"Bo Saixi, the pressure on your Sea God Island is considerable."
He sensed the heavy burden on his partner's shoulders.
Bo Saixi nodded lightly, saying nothing more, but her grip on her Scepter tightened slightly.
