The Big Gold Dog

The vast Great Wilderness stretches for no one knows how many tens of thousands of miles.

At this moment, somewhere in the Great Wilderness, wisps of white smoke rise from a small village nestled within the landscape.

Although the village is not large, it is exceptionally lively, with simple, rustic villagers wearing beaming smiles on their faces.

At the entrance of the village stands a charred wooden stump, from which a few tender green branches sway in the breeze, glowing with the radiance of the Dao.

This is Stone Village.

It is unremarkable in the Great Wilderness, a place where such villages could be wiped out at any moment; yet, from this very dilapidated little village, a terrifying existence emerged that would make the heavens and the ages tremble.

Crack.

A crisp sound rings out as a piece of charred bark falls away, revealing a new branch. This branch grows at a speed visible to the naked eye, with light rain evaporating and auspicious rays of light shining brilliantly.

"Someone is comprehending the true diagrams I left behind, and they have triggered a resonance with my origin."

Willow Deity is puzzled, wanting to see who that person is. Even after endless ages have passed, what it left behind is not something just anyone can comprehend unless they have gained its recognition.

But unfortunately, it fails; it is currently too weak, and the place where that person resides has chaotic heavenly laws that isolate all karma.

At this time, two little wild children ride a black horse toward Stone Village.

The children playing at the entrance of Stone Village see the two "little wildlings," their expressions filled with astonishment and curiosity, which quickly turn into pleasant surprise as they recognize the black horse as a Unicorn.

"Little One is back!"

A child shouts loudly.

The two little wildlings are none other than Little One Shi Hao and Qing Feng. They spent half a month crossing the perilous Great Wilderness, enduring countless dangers, to return to Stone Village.

The Great Wilderness is treacherous, filled with terrifying fierce beasts everywhere. Even a Marquis Level existence would not dare guarantee they could cross tens of thousands of miles of the Great Wilderness, yet two seven or eight-year-old children have done it. If this were to spread, it would surely cause a massive sensation.

"Oh my, Little One, you're finally back! The clansmen were worried to death; you've been gone for over fifty days."

"Little One, you look so miserable, I almost didn't recognize you!"

A group of children quickly surrounds them, acting very affectionate. Ignoring the dirt and blood on Little One, they throw their arms around his shoulders and neck, as if they have endless words to say.

Soon, the adults in the village are alerted and rush out. Shi Linhu and the others are all very excited, and even the elderly clan elders come running.

Little One's dirty little face is filled with a pure, innocent smile.

At this moment, the wildness and ferocity he displayed in the Great Wilderness are gone, replaced only by simplicity and purity.

Mist Mountains.

Su Ye walks out of the deep pit with the golden Adamantine Staff on his back. At this moment, his body is suffused with a rich radiance, and standing there, he looks like a god of war. The blood and energy within his body surge, causing the surrounding void to resonate.

The harvest this time is immense. He feels he can break through and step into the Heavenly Passage realm. Once he opens a Heavenly Passage, he feels he can open at least three.

However, he chooses not to break through immediately but to suppress it. Having just refined those precious liquids and gained insights into new precious techniques, his own aura is unstable and needs consolidation; only then will the breakthrough be more effective.

"Heh heh..."

Suddenly, a sinister laugh echoes from the deep pit in the distance, followed by the eruption of a terrifying power. A golden-colored fierce beast emerges, majestic and domineering, its fierce aura surging to the heavens.

Su Ye looks at the golden beast. It looks like a lion, its fur golden and flowing with auspicious light, as if cast from gold. Its powerful blood and energy seem to make the void distort.

"Kid, it seems your harvest hasn't been small either."

Black Emperor—no, it should be called Golden Emperor now—has lost its previous fawning manner. Its gaze sweeps over Su Ye unscrupulously, and it says with an arrogant expression, "Why haven't you come over to kneel and worship your master?"

Now that it has broken the shackles of its bloodline and its strength has recovered, it naturally wants to turn the tables and become the master, riding its human pet to conquer the eight wildernesses.

"Oh, Big Gold Dog, you are very arrogant."

A playful smile plays on Su Ye's face, runes swirling in his eyes. He senses the surging blood and energy within the Big Gold Dog, which contains powerful strength, though it remains impure and still belongs to a descendant, not a pure-blood.

Seeing that Su Ye still dares to speak to it this way, the Big Gold Dog thinks that if it doesn't show its invincible posture, the other party won't know what awe is.

"Boom."

Terrifying power erupts, and cracks appear on the hard ground beneath its feet, unable to withstand its fearsome aura. The void roars as a phantom of a Qilin emerges, its powerful, fierce aura making the heavens and earth tremble.

It is a Qilin, not a dog.

Su Ye picks up the Adamantine Staff from his back and casually stabs it into the ground. He was just worrying about how to consolidate his realm, and now, just as he was feeling sleepy, someone has brought him a pillow.

Is there any better way to consolidate one's realm than through battle?

Boom.

The ground beneath Su Ye's feet collapses as he charges toward the Big Gold Dog, runes wrapping around his palm. With one strike, it feels as if he could split a mountain.

"Roar."

The Big Gold Dog lets out a roar, golden runes permeating its body. These golden runes construct a golden barrier to block Su Ye, while at the same time, terrifying energy gathers in its mouth.

Boom.

The Big Gold Dog spits out a terrifying golden beam of light that pierces the heavens and earth, landing on a hill in the distance. The dozens-of-meters-high hill is instantly reduced to nothingness.

Su Ye looks at the vanished hill; if he had been hit, it would have been miserable. He looks at the Big Gold Dog and says with a smile, "It seems your strength has recovered quite a bit, but if this is all the strength you have, then you had better continue to be my mount obediently."

Rumble.

The void shuddered as a massive hand descended, as if the palm of a True God. Divine might erupted, threatening to suppress the heavens and earth, forcing all living things to submit.

Fear flickered in the eyes of the Big Gold Dog, for the aura was truly terrifying. However, he soon sensed something amiss. Runes erupted across his entire body as he shot into the sky; that fearsome hand of a True God was nothing but a paper tiger, dissolving at the slightest touch.

"Damn it."

The Big Gold Dog was incensed. He had actually been deceived; that was not a powerful Precious Technique, but a mere illusion.

By this time, Su Ye had already closed in on the Big Gold Dog and threw a punch. His physical body had advanced further, making the power of this strike even more formidable, causing the very void to tremble violently.

BOOM.

The Big Gold Dog was sent flying instantly. Although he was a vicious beast with a terrifying physique, Su Ye's body was even more monstrous, possessing a force of one hundred and eight thousand jin with a single swing of his arm.

The Big Gold Dog roared, runes erupting all over his body and transforming into golden Qilin heads. They opened their maws wide, snapping crazily toward Su Ye.

BOOM.

BANG.

BOOM.

The Qilin heads were all manifestations of a Precious Technique. Their method of attack was not biting, but rather collision and explosion. Each collision carried a force of eighty to ninety thousand jin, while the explosions were comparable to the full-strength strike of a Heavenly Passage realm expert.

Su Ye dodged the Qilin heads in a sorry state. He had not expected this Big Gold Dog to possess a "Missile Precious Technique." Although his own body was powerful, if he were truly engulfed by these Qilin heads, he would lose half his life even if he didn't die.

"This is the perfect chance to test the Precious Technique I have newly comprehended."

Runes emerged in Su Ye's hands, and immediately, emerald-green willow branches condensed from his palms. Radiant light suffused the air as they swept toward the incoming Qilin heads.
