Chapter 67: Strongest Soul Beast Ranking's Fourth Place, Snow Empress! [Second update, please give recommendation tickets and monthly tickets!]
"Who will be next on the ranking?"
Looking at the dazzling and brilliant light screen in the sky, Snow Empress couldn't help but feel a sense of anticipation as she thought to herself.
The first batch was from tenth to eighth place.
The second batch was from seventh to fifth place.
Now, this third batch was from fourth to second place.
Snow Empress knew in her heart that she would definitely be on this batch, after all, even if she increased her cultivation by another Ten Thousand Year, she still wouldn't be the strongest Spirit Beast on the current continent. She just didn't know what rank she would ultimately achieve in this batch's reveal.
Under Snow Empress's curious gaze, the dazzling and brilliant light screen revealed the ninth Spirit Beast to ascend the strongest soul beast ranking.
Then, a majestic voice resonated across the entire continent.
[strongest soul beast ranking, Fourth Place, Snow Empress!]
Hearing the light screen's words, Snow Empress was momentarily stunned.
Snow Empress had just been wondering who would be next on the ranking, and she didn't expect it to be herself!
After regaining her composure and confirming it was indeed her, she showed an obvious look of anticipation.
Undoubtedly, what Snow Empress was looking forward to was the opportunity that came with being on the ranking.
After revealing the ninth Spirit Beast to ascend the strongest soul beast ranking, the dazzling and brilliant light screen began to provide relevant information about her.
[Like the Titan Snow Demon King, who ranked tenth on the strongest soul beast ranking, and the Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion, who ranked seventh on the strongest soul beast ranking, Snow Empress is also a Spirit Beast King from the Extreme North.]
[Among the three Heavenly Kings of the Extreme North, Titan Snow Demon King ranks third, the Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion ranks second, and Snow Empress ranks first!]
[Leaving aside everything else, just in terms of cultivation age, Titan Snow Demon King and the Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion combined are still not as good as Snow Empress!]
[Snow Empress's cultivation age?]
[It is approaching Seven Hundred Thousand Years!]
[As the Spirit Beast with a cultivation age approaching Seven Hundred Thousand Years, the leader of the three Heavenly Kings of the Extreme North, and the most powerful Spirit Beast in the Extreme North, Snow Empress's status in the Extreme North is unimaginably high, and the facts indeed prove this.]
[Titan Snow Demon King admires Snow Empress.]
[The Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion likes Snow Empress.]
[And the strongest of the Ice Bear clan, Ice Bear King Xiao Bai, is a child she personally raised!]
[It can be said that in the cold Extreme North, Snow Empress is an absolute authority.]
Upon learning this, Shui Yue'er was surprised and unexpected.
Shui Yue'er had guessed wrong.
The strongest of the Ice Bear clan was not the first among the three Heavenly Kings of the Extreme North.
On the contrary, the strongest of the Ice Bear clan was even a child personally raised by the first-ranked one!
"I wonder what kind of Spirit Beast Snow Empress's true form is."
As Shui Yue'er murmured, her jade lips slightly parted, she felt curious.
In Shui Yue'er's opinion, for a Spirit Beast as powerful as Snow Empress, her true form must also be extraordinary!
A powerful Spirit must have a high Innate Soul Power.
A powerful Spirit Beast must have an extraordinary true form.
No sooner had Shui Yue'er's words fallen than the sky screen began to introduce Snow Empress's true form.
[Other Spirit Beasts?]
[They are basically conceived by parents!]
[Snow Empress is different!]
[She is a being condensed from the ice-attributed Heaven and Earth elemental energy in the core area of the Extreme North!]
[Besides being born of Heaven and Earth, Snow Empress also has a special identity.]
[Snow Empress is the first Soul Spirit in the world!]
[Soul Spirit is an indispensable thing for Spirit Masters of later generations!]
After the light screen finished speaking, Qian Renxue's eyes instantly lit up.
Is the sky screen finally going to introduce Soul Spirit?
Qian Renxue had been waiting for this for a long time!
Just like Snow Empress earlier, Qian Renxue, with her beautiful eyes fixed on the light screen in the sky, also showed an obvious look of anticipation.
...
The dazzling and brilliant light screen continued to change.
[In later generations, a type of quality appeared that could be used for Spirit Rings, something that could replace Spirit Rings.]
[That thing is the Soul Spirit!]
[The birth of a Spirit Ring requires the death of a Spirit Beast.]
[The creation of a Soul Spirit requires the soul of a Spirit Beast!]
[The former is a complete death.]
[The latter is the physical body no longer existing, with the soul remaining in the world.]
[Compared to Spirit Rings, Soul Spirits cause less harm to Spirit Beasts, and at the same time, their quality is superior to the former.]
[Everything in the human world has two sides, one good and one bad, and Soul Spirit is no exception.]
[Soul Spirit has three main advantages.]
[The first advantage.]
[When a Spirit Master uses a Spirit Ability granted by a Soul Spirit, the Soul Power consumed is less than that of a Spirit Ring, and the power will also be somewhat stronger!]
[The second advantage.]
[Compared to a Spirit Ring where one Spirit Beast can only provide one, a Soul Spirit, on the other hand, allows one Spirit Beast to provide several. For example, a Ten Thousand Year Soul Beast, after transforming into a Soul Spirit, can provide a Spirit Master with no less than four Spirit Rings.]
[The third advantage.]
[Soul Spirit can not only be passed down to descendants, but Soul Spirit can also evolve! For example, a Ten Year Soul Spirit evolving to a Hundred Year Soul Spirit, a Hundred Year Soul Spirit evolving to a Thousand Year Soul Spirit, a Thousand Year Soul Spirit evolving to a Ten Thousand Year Soul Spirit, and a Ten Thousand Year Soul Spirit evolving to a Ten Thousand Year Soul Spirit! This is also why some powerhouses in later generations, despite not having twin spirits, can have a Ten Thousand Year or even a Ten Thousand Year as their first spirit ring!]
[Soul Spirit has one major disadvantage.]
[After a Spirit Beast transforms into a Soul Spirit, it is no different from a prisoner; the Spirit Beast, having lost its physical body, can only live within the Spirit Master's body!]
[As the first Soul Spirit in the world, Snow Empress's ending was quite good; she followed Huo Yuhao to ascend to the God Realm and became a deity.]
Through the light screen, upon learning about Soul Spirit, the Spirit Masters of the continent couldn't help but covet Soul Spirit, while the Spirit Beasts of the continent became wary of Soul Spirit.
The former valued the many benefits of Soul Spirit.
The latter, however, focused on the disadvantages of Soul Spirit.
Star Dou Great Forest, Core Area, Life Lake.
"Spirit Beast clan, never slaves!"
"Even if I, Titan Giant Ape, die, I will absolutely not become a Soul Spirit!"
Titan Giant Ape spoke, his face full of indignation, serious and earnest.
Titan Giant Ape spoke from his heart; he would truly rather die than become a pitiful creature without freedom, forced to reside within a human Spirit Master's body and be used by human Spirit Masters.
Similarly, most other Spirit Beasts on the continent were also like this; they were unwilling to become Soul Spirits.
Freedom is priceless!
Presumably, only those Spirit Beasts whose lives were nearing their end and who wished to survive would be willing to become Soul Spirits.
...
Extreme North, Outer Region.
After successfully absorbing two Ten Thousand Year Spirit Bones and one god-bestowed spirit ring, the Spirit Rings circling Lu Chen's body turned into two black and four red, and Lu Chen's Spirit Power level also reached sixty-eight.
Well, he's only two levels away from a seventy-level Spirit Saint. I believe Lu Chen will become a Spirit Saint after absorbing two more Immortal Herbs!
After the majestic voice fell, the system's cold, indifferent mechanical voice sounded in Lu Chen's mind.
[Congratulations, Host, for successfully revealing the strongest soul beast ranking once! You will receive the following rewards!]
