Blue Planet was a vast world, and there were countless rare pet beasts living within it.
However...
Sylvester's Soul-sucking Crystal Sandworms were at the Peak of Stage 9. Even among all the pet beasts in the world, it was easily among the top 10.
Moreover, upon noting the Dimension-severing Silver Flame Python's rank of 30th place, he determined that he could reach the 7th place at the very least.
"7th place!"
At the thought of this, his heart could not help but beat wildly.
The reward for being ranked 30th was Divinity. He shuddered to think what kind of reward he would receive for making it to 7th place.
The mighty figures around the world shared the same thoughts as well.
"Archbishop Zacarias, the list is already down to the 30th place, and yet, only a few of them belong to the Aramborg Religion. Shouldn't we do something?"
A figure dressed in a priest's uniform, who had a fierce look on his face, could not help but ask anxiously.
"Haha! Bancroft, don't be impatient."
Zacarias smiled faintly and said, "Have you forgotten? the Brahma Saintess' Blue Cloud Ape hasn't even appeared on the list yet."
"Moreover, both of us haven't made it into the list yet!"
Upon hearing Zacarias' words, Bancroft slapped himself fiercely.
'That's right!'
'There are still many powerful individuals from the Aramborg Religion who still did not make the list!'
'There was still Bishop Benedict's wife.'
She was one of the strongest trump cards in the entire Aramborg Religion that was below the Great Beast Tamer level.
Her Blue Cloud Ape was definitely one of the top 20 pet beasts in the entire world.
While the two of them were being optimistic, the Hundred Beasts Board once again released a myriad of multicolored lights. The projection of a blue, strong-looking giant gorilla suddenly appeared.
All the members of the Aramborg Religion begin to celebrate.
After all, what else could the gigantic projection in the sky be, besides the Brahma Saintess' Blue Cloud Ape?
However, upon noticing where the Blue Cloud Ape had ranked on the Hundred Beasts Board, their pupils suddenly constricted, and their expressions changed drastically.
...
Off in the distant Bozo Colorado, near the sea.
A tall figure with long white hair and in a long blue dress was currently standing on a reef.
The crystal clear water reflected a face of peerless beauty.
Her extremely beautiful facial features, coupled with her fiery red pupils, made people unable to extricate themselves just by looking at her.
She was like a fairy that had walked out of a painting.
Splash!
A wave suddenly crashed onto the reef, and from the waves, out jumped a crimson creature.
"Octavial, I didn't expect to be ranked 30th!"
The Dimension-severing Silver Flame Python coiled around the reef and spoke to Octavial in the human tongue.
"Oh really? I thought it was well-deserved."
Although Octavial was only 18 years old, her gorgeous eyes were extremely calm.
"Look, isn't that the Brahma Saintess' Blue Cloud Ape?"
At this moment, the projection of the blue gorilla had completely solidified.
[28th Place: Blue Cloud Ape ]
[ Level: Advanced Stage 9 ]
[ Phase: Senescence ]
[ Region: Stratford ]
[ Master: Brahma Saintess ]
[ Ranking Reward: Pet beast and its master will receive 10 traces of Divine Aura that lasts for 49 days! ]
"How can the Brahma Saintess only rank at the 28th place??"
After noticing the rank, the Dimension-severing Silver Flame Python exclaimed in disbelief.
Although it was a pet beast, its intelligence was no different from an ordinary person.
He had lived in the world for more than a few hundred years.
The Blue Cloud Ape had encroached on its territory once, around a hundred years ago.
The two beasts had fought each other over a piece of treasure.
In the end..
The python was completely outclassed by the Blue Cloud Ape.
Even though..,
Although the Dimension-severing Silver Flame Python was naturally weaker than the ape in terms of both strength and body characteristics, the fact that the Blue Cloud Ape had utterly outclassed it was still an amazing feat of strength.
Using the Blue Cloud Ape's strength, the Brahma Priestess was immediately propelled into being among the two strongest individuals who were below the Great Beast Tamer stage.
Despite being so powerful however, she still did not make it into the top 25 within the scoreboard.
"Impossible, there must be something wrong with the Hundred Beasts Board. How can the Blue Cloud Ape not enter the top 25?"
At this time, the hot-tempered Bancroft immediately roared.
"Something wrong?"
In comparison, Zacarias was relatively calm.
After all, after seeing the terrifying might of the Hundred Beasts Board, he did not doubt its judgment.
A large part of the Blue Cloud Ape's current ranking was due to it being in its senescence phase.
Although the Brahma Saintess had only gotten the Blue Cloud Ape just recently, it had existed for longer than the Aramborg Religion itself.
No matter how long the lifespan of a pet beast was, it would eventually run out.
The Blue Cloud Ape's condition was declining, and so too was its vitality.
It was for this reason that it failed to make it into the top 5.
Of course, there was another possibility, and that was the desert islands located across the sea.
There might be several unknown powerhouses living there.
No one would know of their existence, even if they were to exist.
Just as Archbishop Zacarias had predicted...
The person who ranked 27th was someone that no one had ever seen or heard of before. This was true regarding his pet beast as well.
He had no background to him.
All they knew was a rough name of the place they were located in.
However, locating a small desert island within the vast ocean was simply a pipe dream.
The following 26th, 25th, 24th, and 23rd places were all mysterious experts who had never been heard of before.
For a moment, all the factions began to stir.
Even the Great Beast Tamer stage experts began to ponder.
They wondered whether they should venture forth to locate these desert islands and the beast tamers living there.
They wondered whether it was possible to buy them over to join their factions.
In fact...
Should they refuse, they would just kill them.
Then, the Great Beast Tamers from the mainland would rob them of their rewards from the Hundred Beasts Board.
It was a dog-eat-dog world.
The ancestors of all the major factions, the La Powo Palace, the Weizhou Bao Temple, the Aramborg Religion, the Burbus Temple, and the Oguapu Palace...
Were all bandits in the past.
However, this fact was covered up by these major factions over the years.
