[ 8th place: The Three-headed Nether Hound’s Wail ]
[ Level: Intermediate Great Beast Tamer ]
[ Phase: Prime ]

[ Reward: 8 drops of Fire Elemental Essence ]
Boom!
A thousand-meter-tall canine’s projection appeared in the air.
Its body was as huge as a mountain.
It had three heads, and each of them were several times bigger than a house.
Its fangs were snow-white, and its eyes were vicious.
It was like a nightmare that was deeply imprinted in everyone’s mind.
Whoosh!
A mythological clip was projected in the sky.
A huge door that was tens of thousands of miles tall appeared, and squatting before it, was the Three-headed Nether Hound[1].
Legend had it that its real name was Mars Tobias, and it was a divine beast from the La Powo Palace that was in charge of guarding the gates of hell.
Not only could it spew out terrifying hellfire from its mouth, its saliva also contained a highly lethal poison.
It was a powerful divine beast owned by the King of the Underworld.
Previously, there had been rumors that the La Powo Palace possessed beasts that were descendants of ancient divine beasts.
However, the rumors had never been proven.
Nevertheless, the rankings had exposed their secret for all to see, and there was no longer any room for the La Powo to hide their trump card.
“Hmph, no wonder they’re so confident. They’ve been hiding the dog all this time!”
On the side of the Oguapu Palace, Alfred sneered indifferently at the listing.
No matter how one listened to it, Alfred’s tone was undeniably sour.
“That’s right. So what if they have a Three-headed Nether Hound? It’s still ranked 8th!”
Clemente Hobart echoed without hesitation.
Upon speaking those words, Clemente Hobart immediately felt much better about his low divine artifact rankings.
“Hmph! Hadisso, do you think you can surpass the Weizhou Bao Temple’s power just by possessing that artifact?”
A sinister smile appeared on Dequincy Crested’s cloaked face.
“I have more than one trump card!”
Within the Weizhou Bao Temple, the only person that had surpassed him in strength was Alfred.
There were almost no other beast tamers who could compete with him.
This was not just because Dequincy Crested had inherited the God of Deception’s divine name.
More importantly, he owned more than one Great Beast Tamer Stage beast.
Aside from that, he was also the only other person besides Alfred who possessed a divine fire artifact within the temple.
“My fire-type divine artifact will definitely blow you all away.”
Dequincy Crested said sinisterly, “I’ll definitely make it into the top 3.”
Under everyone’s expectant gazes, the projection of the nether hound disappeared, and replacing it, was the divine artifact that had ranked 7th.

[ Reward: 9 drops of Fire Elemental Essence! ]
Boom!
In the sky, a thousand-meter-tall Fire Giant appeared.
The space around it seemed to warp and bend.
Before long, the projection of its myth was displayed.
The giant inside was even taller than the sky and stronger than the sacred mountain.
It was wearing black armor and it was wreathed in eternal flames.
It had two horns on its head and it held a terrifying demonic sword that was burning with flames.
Everyone who saw the scene was shocked.
“My god, didn’t the bloodline of the Fire Giants end eons ago?”
“That’s right. Legend has it that they were a powerful race that once went against the gods during the Era of the Gods. I didn’t expect them to become a divine artifact.”
“That’s right. In the past, the Weizhou Bao Temple encountered a crisis, and it was caused by a Fire Giant.”
“It’s said that the only reason the Weizhou Bao Temple survived was due to the help of an unknown god.”
The Internet was abuzz.
The eyes of many of the big shots flickered.
Indeed…
The Fire Giants were a truly terrifying race, and they were also deemed as the strongest race of giants.
Back when the Weizhou Bao Temple had encountered the Fire Giant crisis, their gods were powerless against it, and they needed to seek the assistance of the other gods.
In the end, the god that was responsible for killing the Fire Giant that was wreaking havoc was none other than the rebel army’s god.
The rebel army’s god had defeated the giant with a single swing of his axe.
It was also that incident that had sparked fear within the hearts of the other gods.
“A Fire Giant eh? Not bad!”
Horace Julius smiled in the direction of the Oguapu Palace.
“I’m grateful for this divine ranking board’s appearance. Without its exposure, the Weizhou Bao Temple might never have revealed their trump card.”
Beside him, the eyes of the Lord of Dragon City, Whitehead, flickered.
“Who’s next?”
Before he could finish his sentence, the information regarding the 6th place appeared.
However…
The moment the information was shown, the expressions of all the experts on Blue Planet changed drastically.
“How is this possible?”
The mythological projection suddenly disappeared.
Following that, rows of large golden words appeared once again.
[ 6th place: Artemis’ Silver Bow ]
[ Level: Intermediate Great Beast Tamer ]
[ Stage: Growing ]
As soon as the information appeared, a huge figure with the body of a hound appeared in the sky.
Its appearance was similar to that of a large dog, but its tail was completely formed from flames and spread out.
It was menacing.
Everyone frowned upon noticing the figure.
Eh?
‘Is this a Three-headed Nether Hound?’
‘Impossible!’
‘The Three-headed Nether Hound had already appeared!’
‘Plus, this hound only has one head.’
‘Is it actually stronger than the Three-headed Nether Hound?’
Everyone’s eyes were filled with doubt.
Moreover, no one had ever heard of the beast’s name before.
Nevertheless, no one was able to sit still upon noticing its owner’s name.
[ Owner: Joe ]
[ Reward: 10 drops of Fire Elemental Essence ]
“What? Joe? It’s Joe again?”
At this moment, all the experts on Blue Planet were extremely shocked.
They could not help but be shocked!
The name that terrified them, Joe, had returned.
Moreover, it was not an artifact from before, but a brand new pet beast.[2]
“How is this possible? Doesn’t Joe use water-type beasts? How can he have a fire-type pet beast? And it can even transform into a divine artifact!”
“The Five-headed Abyssal Dragon’s flames are a result of its form changes. However, Artemis’ Silver Bow is undoubtedly a pure fire-type divine artifact!”
‘A beast tamer that possesses both the powers of flame and water? That’s impossible!’
“This is already against common sense. Is there something wrong with this Divine Artifact Board?”
Numerous exclamations and puzzled voices rang out continuously.
Just when everyone had forgotten Joe’s existence, he returned.
“Look, the golden ray has been fired!”
Suddenly, a powerhouse exclaimed. Everyone immediately looked towards the golden light.
They wanted to see where the divine artifact was located at.
