[ 11th place: Shadowless Golden Ape ]
[ Level: Peak Stage 9 ]
[ Phase: Growing ]
[ Region: Sans Ferrywood Ancient Shoals ]
[ Master: Joe ]
[ Ranking Reward: Pet beast will receive 5 traces of Divine Beast Bloodline! ]
As soon as the ranking was announced, all the experts who were paying attention to the ranking turned sour.
Some experts even cried out in surprise.
"It's the rebel army again?"
At the same time the ranking was announced.
On the Hundred Beasts Board, countless multicolored lights shot forth to project a huge figure that was hundreds of meters tall, shaped like an ape, had a flat nose, protruding forehead, a white head, and a green body. It had fiery golden eyes.
Everyone who saw the projection was shocked.
The reason why they were shocked was not because of the reward that was bestowed to it.
It was because..
this familiar actually also came from Sans Ferrywood Ancient Shoals.
Sans Ferrywood Ancient Shoals, a land that stretched across mountains, was one of the most mysterious areas of the Blue Planet, and it belonged to the rebel army. It was also known as the Forsaken Land of the Gods.
"How is this possible? This Shadowless Golden Ape is the rebel army's pet? Does it belong to the First Elder?"
Armstrong snapped in surprise.
"Impossible. I've fought with the First Elder before. His pet isn't a gorilla."
Dode Ernest, who was standing beside him, shook his head.
"If it's not the first elder, who else would it belong to?"
Hearing this, everyone fell silent.
The Burbus Temple had fought the rebel army the most among the five major clans.
As such, no one knew the rebel army better than the Burbus Temple.
This Shadowless Golden Ape had a strange appearance and an extraordinary aura. They had crossed blades with the rebel army several times before this, but they had never seen it before.
Moreover, they had never heard of its master, Joe, before.
"My God, this Shadowless Golden Ape is still in the Growing phase and it has already ranked at 11th place. How powerful would it be once it reaches the Prime phase?"
Many of the Great Beast Tamers had just noticed this.
"Could the Shadowless Golden Ape's master come from the rebel army?"
"Strange. Could they be the rebel army's secret weapon?"
"It's not impossible, the rebel army is a huge force, after all."
"In that case, wouldn't we gain an insane powerhouse if we were to recruit them to our side?"
Many people had different thoughts as they discussed animatedly.
There were also people who raised doubts.
If there really was a reclusive expert, why did he not live in seclusion in the desert islands across the ocean?
Everyone from the Blue Planet was stirred up by the sudden appearance of the pet beast.
Many experts had already left their mansions to head towards the rebel army.
On the rebel army's side, the three elders exchanged gazes with one another.
Apart from shock, there was also deep confusion on their faces.
"Just who is this Joe person? Why have we not heard of him before?"
"There's also that Shadowless Golden Ape. I've explored Sans Ferrywood Ancient Shoals for many years, but I've never seen such a strange beast."
Everyone assumed that Joe was the secret weapon of the rebel army.
Little did they know that even the Elders of the rebel army were unaware of their existence.
"Clap!"
The Seventh Elder suddenly clapped his hands and spoke excitedly.
"An opportunity, our opportunity has come!"
"What opportunity?"
The other two elders looked at the Seventh Elder in puzzlement.
"We should recruit Joe! He's a recluse living in Sans Ferrywood Ancient Shoals. The rebel army has the greatest chance in recruiting him. Wouldn't it be a waste if we don't seize this opportunity?"
"Seventh Elder, you're wrong."
After hearing this, the Sixth Elder shook his head and smiled bitterly.
"If such an existence really wanted to join the rebel army, he would have appeared long ago."
"If not for the Divine Scoreboard, we might never have known of his existence."
"Do you think that such an existence would be willing to accept our efforts to recruit him?"
Hearing this, the Seventh Elder was taken aback.
However, he was an impatient person by nature. After pondering for a moment, he spoke once more.
"Forget it. He lives in seclusion in Sans Ferrywood Ancient Shoals. Even if he isn't willing to join, he definitely doesn't have any enmity toward our rebel army. If I don't give it a try, I won't be satisfied."
After saying that, his figure flashed, and he was already in the air.
"Hey, you..."
The sixth elder was about to speak, but he heard the First Elder stop him.
"Forget it, that's just how he is. Let's just give him a chance!"
"Besides, what if he succeeds?!"
As the two spoke, the Hundred Beasts Board suddenly trembled.
The information of the 10th place appeared.
[ 10th Place: Nether Eagle ]
[ Level: Peak Stage 9 ]
[ Phase: Prime]
[ Region: La Powo Palace ]
[ Master: Blair ]
[ Ranking Reward: One drop of elemental essence for the pet! ]
"How is this possible? How is the Nether Eagle only ranked 10th?"
In La Powo Palace, Blair suddenly exclaimed in disbelief.
He was certain that his Nether Eagle was among the top 3 water-type pet beasts within the Blue Planet!
As such, he expected to make it into the top 5 at the very least.
He simply could not accept his ranking at 10th place.
Fortunately, the reward of the Elemental Essence made him feel a little more at ease.
The so-called Elemental Essence was a powerful divine object that were a condensed form of purified elements.
He had once read about it in an extremely ancient book.
Everything in the world was made up of fundamental elements.
However, due to their different attributes, they were divided into different categories.
An Elemental Essence was essentially the most concentrated form of a single element.
It was the most pure form of elemental power.
It was incomparably pure and did not contain a single trace of impurities.
Once consumed, one's comprehension of elemental energies would instantly increase by hundreds or even thousands of times.
The Divine Beast Bloodline was formed as a result of comprehending the essence of elemental energy.
With the help of the Elemental Essence, Blair was essentially taking a shortcut in obtaining a Divine Beast Bloodline of his own.
It was a much better reward than the Divine Bloodlines.
"I want to see who are the ones who rank above me."
Faced with such a huge psychological gap, Blair stared fixedly at the Beast God Board, wanting to see who would be ranked next.
However, suddenly...
A seemingly endless stream of light erupted from the Hundred Beasts Board, and enveloped the Nether Eagle.
Immediately after, it formed an illusory and vast world.
"What... What is this?"
At this moment, even the Great Beast Tamer Stage experts had found it difficult to remain calm.
That incomparably vast gray sky above them seemed to be even larger than the entire Blue Planet.
At this moment, a intimidating eagle that was as tall as a mountain was projected onto the gray sky.
In front of it, several blurry figures appeared one after another.
Under their feet stood incomparably powerful beasts.
Beneath the giant eagle's body, terrifying fluctuations bloomed. Thunder, lightning, violent winds, and torrential rain spawned.
They were unable to go against the terrifying eagle.
"I-Is this, the legendary Nether Eagle?"
