Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear

If Nan Fusheng wanted to use Deep Parasitism on someone, he would have to use at least three Time Worms.

With Nan Fusheng currently only able to split nine Time Worms, he could deeply parasitize at most three people at once.

However, Nan Fusheng had no complaints. After all, once he deeply parasitized someone, that person would practically become his Doppelganger, and this ability could evolve further in the future.

Being able to use Deep Parasitism on those Soul Beasts now was also like getting some practice in advance. Before this, he had only ever "shallowly" parasitized others.

At that thought, Nan Fusheng emptied his mind, and the view before his eyes began to change. A familiar forest and azure sky came into view once again.

That was right—Nan Fusheng had returned to the Spirit Ascension Platform. The difference was that last time, he had been sent in by Spirit Pagoda staff using those instruments. This time, he had entered through his own consciousness.

This was also an unexpected gain from Nan Fusheng's trip to the Spirit Ascension Platform.

At this moment, Nan Fusheng's consciousness was attached to a large blue bird—the Ten-Year Soul Beast he had first parasitized upon entering the Spirit Ascension Platform, known as the Blue Bird.

To be honest, even Nan Fusheng had not expected that after deeply parasitizing this Blue Bird, he would be able to transfer his consciousness over at any time. He had thought that once he left the Spirit Ascension Platform, his connection with the Blue Bird would be severed.

At this moment, if a Spirit Pagoda staff member were carefully observing the Spirit Ascension Platform, they would discover a Blue Bird flying freely within it. Its flight range had long since exceeded the territory of a Blue Bird Soul Beast.

A closer look would reveal flashes of intelligence occasionally passing through the Blue Bird's eyes. This was absolutely not wisdom that a Ten-Year Soul Beast could possess.

But monitoring a flying Soul Beast in real time would take considerable effort. More importantly, would Spirit Pagoda members really have the time to watch a Ten-Year Soul Beast? Nan Fusheng was not doing anything out of line yet, after all.

As Nan Fusheng soared through the sky, an inexplicable sense of exhilaration rose within him. All the frustration he had felt since birth turned into a sharp cry that echoed through the air.

No one was a born actor, but Nan Fusheng had nearly died the moment he was born. He had then needed to maintain a normal life for several years, while also acting as a Potion.

On top of that, his soul did not originally belong to this world.

To be honest, Nan Fusheng had always felt deeply frustrated and stifled. He had kept those feelings bottled up inside, never revealing them—and unable to reveal them.

Only now, after becoming a Blue Bird, did he dare vent them freely.

After releasing his emotions, Nan Fusheng felt his mind become exceptionally clear. Without needing anyone to tell him, he knew that his Spiritual Power had likely improved considerably.

Just then, Nan Fusheng suddenly sensed something strange in the forest below.

Moist air drifted into Nan Fusheng's nostrils. Looking down, he saw thick trees below, along with dense shrubbery so lush that it blocked his view.

"This should already be close to the depths of the Primary Spirit Ascension Platform."

Nan Fusheng could sense that there had seemingly been fluctuations of Soul Power below just now, but the distance was too great for him to perceive them clearly.

"Let's go down and take a look. I'm only a Doppelganger right now anyway."

Perhaps because this was not his main body, Nan Fusheng's reckless instincts gradually began to emerge. At the same time, he wanted to test this body's abilities in other areas.

The Blue Bird slowly descended, gradually approaching the place where it had sensed the Soul Power fluctuations.

Suddenly, the Blue Bird's body stiffened. A Fear originating from its bloodline made it want to flee this place. If Nan Fusheng had not been controlling this body, it would likely have escaped immediately.

Even so, Nan Fusheng could feel the Blue Bird he controlled beginning to move sluggishly. This was suppression from its bloodline.

"The racial and bloodline suppression between Soul Beasts is seriously ridiculous! Good thing I wasn't reincarnated as a Soul Beast."

Complaints aside, the Blue Bird slowly flapped its wings and landed atop a large tree, looking down below.

A bear came into view, gnawing on a monkey's corpse. The monkey's body was dark red, and though it was not especially large, its arms were incredibly thick.

But those thick arms were now bent completely outward, as though some immense force had forcibly snapped them apart.

"This is a thousand-year Great Strength Ape. Great Strength Apes are known for their strength, and among Soul Beasts of the same age, few can rival them in power. What kind of Soul Beast could kill it so easily?"

Nan Fusheng shifted his gaze toward the other side.

There stood a massive bear covered entirely in dark golden fur. It was over three meters tall, with exceptionally thick arms and broad, powerful shoulders like city walls.

At the ends of its two thick arms were incomparably sharp dark golden claws. Each claw alone was over a meter long.

"So it's this thing."

Nan Fusheng recognized the Soul Beast before him. There was no way he could fail to recognize it, because it was simply too famous in the world of Soul Beasts.

The Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear, hailed as one of the strongest beings in the Soul Beast world.

It was said that among the powerful Ferocious Beasts of ancient legends, the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear had been one of them. Adult Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bears had no natural enemies. Even true Dragons might not gain the upper hand against them.

Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bears were solitary Soul Beasts. Whether in offense or defense, their strength stood at the very pinnacle of the entire Soul Beast world.

The Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear before him was only about three meters tall, but it should still have been more than a hundred years old. If it was the one, killing a thousand-year Great Strength Ape would indeed be easy.

However, Nan Fusheng had not expected to encounter this Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear here. This should be the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear from the original work that gave Tang Wulin an External Soul Bone.

After all, no matter how one looked at it, the Primary Spirit Ascension Platform could not possibly contain two top-tier Soul Beasts like this. Nan Fusheng glanced at the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear that was eating, then immediately flew away. This giant was not something he could set his sights on right now.

But what Nan Fusheng had not expected was that the instant it flew out of the forest, the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear that had been eating suddenly let out a roar in its direction.

Nan Fusheng's body went limp, and he nearly could not stay airborne. Turning his head, he saw the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear staring fixedly at it.

"Damn it, I only saw you eating. Do you have to be this vicious?"

Nan Fusheng immediately flapped his wings wildly. This damned bloodline suppression was too absurd! I'm just a bird—how could a bear that couldn't even fly suppress me this badly?

Before Nan Fusheng could think any further, a dark golden flash streaked through the air behind him. He did not turn around, but he could clearly sense that this body had already been sliced into several pieces.
