Chapter 17 The Unknown Sun and Moon Continent? Shattering Our Understanding of Douluo Continent!
"I'm not entirely sure where I'll rank."
Xue Di shook her head, a hint of worry flashing in her beautiful eyes:
"Bing'er, if we are exposed, we may attract the covetous eyes of powerful humans!"
The ever-arrogant Hyotei Empire, unfazed, confidently and disdainfully remarked:
"What are human powerhouses? You alone are enough to contend with a level 99 Limit Douluo. Even if we join forces, a demigod would have to give way! Not to mention that in the far north, besides us, there are also Atai and Xiaobai."
Xue Di thought about it and agreed, since the far north was their territory.
Throughout history, no human has ever set foot in the core region of the far north.
Even titled Douluo were dealt with by Atai and his group as soon as they approached the core area.
"By the way, where are Atai and Xiaobai? They were just looking at the sky together, but they disappeared in a short while."
Suddenly remembering something, Xue Di turned her head and looked around, asking in confusion.
Ice Empress leaned to one side, embraced Snow Empress from behind, and whispered mischievously in her ear:
"Oh, forget about those two for now. I'm absolutely certain that our Far North will be in the top five, and you'll be both our representatives. You'll have to share the rewards with me!"
Xue Di didn't pull her hand away; in fact, he seemed to enjoy it, smiling with a mixture of helplessness and indulgence:
"Don't worry, Bing'er. What's mine will be yours too. Perhaps this is the opportunity for us to break through 700,000 and 400,000 years respectively!"
Excitement and anticipation welled up in Hyotei's beautiful eyes:
"We are all 20,000 years away from reaching the next 100,000 years. If we can all receive a divine reward, we will surely be able to break through. So what if we are exposed at that time? No human powerhouse can do anything to us!"
As they talked, they both looked up at the sky, determined to get the reward.
Especially the 'Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion - Ice Emperor', which is sure to be in the top five with the foundation of the far north!
...
Amidst intense discussions and tense anticipation between the two major forces of humans and soul beasts.
Finally, the golden sky above was updated, and new words appeared:
[Power Ranking, Ninth Place: Demon Forest]
[Representative of the Ruler: Evil Eye Tyrant Overlord, Evil Emperor]
[The strongest combat force: Evil Eye Tyrant Overlord - Evil Emperor]
[Evaluation: The largest habitat for soul beasts on the Sun and Moon Continent. This forest is mostly dark gray coniferous forest, a dense, dark expanse where sunlight is rarely seen even during the day. Because it is primarily inhabited by soul beasts with dark attributes, it is named the "Demon Forest." Hundreds of thousands of soul beasts reside here, with their cultivation levels and ages evenly distributed, ranging from infants to those over 100,000 years old.]
The largest group of spirit beasts here is the 'Evil Eye Clan'. They are an extremely rare group of spirit beasts with a spiritual nature, possessing exceptional sensitivity to spiritual fluctuations and immense strength. Their leader is the 'Evil Eye Tyrant Ruler - Evil Emperor,' who has cultivated for 780,000 years. He is the absolute ruler of this forest and has several sons, three of whom have cultivated for over 100,000 years. These four are the only spirit beasts in the Demon Forest with cultivation exceeding 100,000 years.
[Intermediate Reward: Each of the two representatives' cultivation years will increase by 20,000 years, and they will each receive a Tribulation Transcending Pill (if a representative is duplicated, it will be replaced with a 30,000-year cultivation pill)!]
"???!"
At this moment, all the forces in Douluo Continent were dumbfounded.
Whether it's human forces or soul beast forces, there are no exceptions.
After a brief moment of surprise, a discussion that was more intense than ever before erupted:
"Sun and Moon Continent? What the hell is that? Are there other continents in the world?"
"My God, could there be other continents besides our Douluo Continent?"
"A 780,000-year-old soul beast! Is this real? Just how powerful must it be?!"
"Only a level 95 Title Douluo can contend with a 100,000-year-old soul beast. Wouldn't a 700,000-year-old soul beast require a level 99 to contend with?!"
"And now the Heavenly Reward is going to grant it another 20,000 years of cultivation, wouldn't it break through 800,000 years, defying the heavens, kid!"
At this moment, the understanding of all living beings on the Douluo Continent was completely shattered.
It turns out that there is more than one continent in this world, and ten thousand years is not the limit for soul beasts!
After the initial shock, the various factions remained remarkably calm and composed, as if they were merely passing by.
Almost everyone believed that the fact that the Sun Moon Continent had no records from ancient times to the present indicated that there must be an insurmountable distance between it and their Douluo Continent.
Why should they care about a continent that can't even be found? They can't find it, and the other side can't find them either, otherwise why don't they come?
...
Chang'an City.
A glint of light flashed in Shangguan Wan'er's eyes, and she said with some surprise:
"Lord City Lord, is this the Sun and Moon Continent you once told Wan'er about?"
Ye Han nodded, surprised that the forces of the Sun Moon Continent had actually been included.
The Sun and Moon Continent did not appear during this period in the original work, but rather appeared ten thousand years later in the timeline.
"That..."
Shangguan Wan'er hesitated for a moment, then asked curiously:
"You also mentioned the Sun Moon Empire before. Is it possible that it will be included on the list later?"
Upon hearing this, Ye Han was not entirely sure whether the Sun Moon Empire existed during this period.
The Sun and Moon Empire was likely renamed after the unification of the Sun and Moon Continent.
"Hmm, perhaps. Let's wait and see."
Ye Han smiled faintly, and surprisingly, he also felt a little expectant.
If Douluo Continent and Sun Moon Continent were to fight during this period, which side would be stronger?
...
Sun and Moon Continent.
The Demon Forest, a forbidden core area.
"I never imagined that my Demon Forest would be on the list!"
Looking at the sky above, the 'Evil Eye Tyrant Overlord - Evil Emperor' roared in a low voice:
"I wonder if this reward is real or fake, since it's so generous!"
His several evil-eyed tyrant sons were nearby, and they all spoke up at that moment:
"The divine aura and divine might emanating from this celestial canopy cannot be fake, and this certainly cannot be fake either."
"Who cares about that now? We'll see if he gives it to us or not later. Anyway, we haven't lost anything."
Just as the major soul beasts were discussing, a golden beam of light descended from the sky and suddenly enveloped the Evil Emperor.
"Father!"
Several evil-eyed tyrants were startled, fearing for their father's safety, but were repelled by the pressure of the pillar of light.
"Don't worry, this seems to be... a godsend!"
Within the pillar of light, the Evil Emperor felt a continuous flow of energy surging into his body, causing his cultivation level to rise steadily.
780,069 years! 780,078 years! 780,091 years! 780,0666 years! 780,088 years...
When the year reached 799,999.9, the world changed color instantly.
"Boom—!"
Thunder rumbled overhead, and bolts of lightning tumbled in the sky, as if they were about to strike at any moment.
Upon seeing this, the Evil Emperor swallowed the Tribulation-Crossing Pill, a heavenly reward, and the strange phenomenon of heavenly tribulation in the sky instantly dissipated.
Eight hundred thousand years!
Finally, after swallowing the Tribulation-Crossing Pill, the Evil Emperor broke through and became a true 800,000-year-old being.
The Evil Emperor did not hesitate to swallow the 30,000-year cultivation pill, which represented the reward for repeating the process.
830,000 years!
Indeed, under the astonished gazes of his sons, the Evil Emperor's lifespan soared from 780,000 years to 830,000 years!
"I have everything I need now!!!"
"In this world, no one can do anything to me!"
...
After a brief period of silence, the major powers...
Their gazes returned to the sky.
We held our breath, waiting for the next reveal of the Sky Power Ranking.
I wonder if any more forces from the Sun and Moon Continent will make the list next?
Two and a half minutes later, the leaderboard finally changed again, revealing the current text:
[Power Ranking, 8th: The Far North...]
