Star Dou Forest.
This was Qian Xunji's second time coming to the largest Spirit Beast gathering ground on Douluo Continent.
His goal this time was still clear.
Hunting a Hundred-Thousand-Year Golden-Haired Lion Mastiff and obtaining a Spirit Ring that would increase his own strength was the purpose of this trip.
Tang Chen was one of the few Douluo natives who possessed an innovative spirit and had succeeded.
Asura God required him to defeat Tang Chen head-on as part of the God Trial.
It seemed things would not be that simple.
Perhaps what Asura God wanted was a crushing victory.
He had to crush Tang Chen in a head-on clash, complete Asura's Fourth Trial, and prove that he was the only choice.
What did Asura Unique mean? It meant becoming an indispensable existence, someone they could not do without.
One day, two days, three days, four days.
Qian Xunji flew through the air with his Ninth Soul Skill, Mental Detection, activated, scanning again and again.
He went from the edge of Star Dou Forest to the outer region, then the mixed region, and finally the core region.
Other than the Great Beast Area beneath Lake of Life, his divine sense swept through every part of it.
Not to mention a Hundred-Thousand-Year Golden-Haired Lion Mastiff, he did not even find one at the ten-thousand-year level.
He did not even see one that was a thousand years old.
Qian Xunji took a sip of iced Coconut Palm Brand Coconut Juice to calm himself. "Even if I fed a Golden-Haired Lion Mastiff that was only a few decades old Immortal Herbs and Bloody Mary every day, I couldn't raise it to a hundred thousand years in less than a year."
Sure enough, without a protagonist's halo, there was no absurd treatment where whatever he wanted simply appeared before him.
Forget it. He would check in first.
[Chalo~ Monthly check-in successful. Obtained the portable Ten Thousand Beast Platform Sub-dimension.]
The Ten Thousand Beast Platform Sub-dimension fused with the System Space, yet remained independent from it.
The original System Space was still merely a storage room with time frozen inside, capable of keeping ingredients absolutely fresh.
The merged Ten Thousand Beast Platform Sub-world, meanwhile, was like an independent sub-dimension.
It had mountains and water, lush vegetation like that of Star Dou Forest, and springs brimming with life energy like Lake of Life.
The Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well that Qian Xunji had excavated and stored in the System Space had now merged into the Ten Thousand Beast Platform Sub-dimension as well.
As an independent sub-dimension, it naturally had a master of the dimension.
As its owner, Qian Xunji had been elevated to become the dimensional master of the Ten Thousand Beast Platform, controlling the Life Core.
He possessed the authority to establish the rules within the sub-dimension.
His true body could enter it as well and live there long-term, enjoying a solitary life free from the disturbances of those idiotic Douluo natives.
"Wonderful."
This reward was simply perfect for a single person living alone.
Even after inheriting the Asura God Position and ascending to the God Realm, he would not need to start some boring godly war over a water source, forcibly seize it, and play the bandit.
With a private, portable Star Dou Forest, Qian Xunji began capturing Spirit Beasts within Star Dou Forest.
Golden-Haired Lion Mastiffs, Demon Eye Magic Trees, Silver Hero Beasts, Golden Tortoises... he accepted all comers. First come, first served.
These Spirit Beasts with decent potential were qualified to be raised by him.
Star Dou Forest, outer region.
Qian Xunji was capturing a young Thunder Roc, a top-tier flying Spirit Beast, when he heard an earth-shaking furious roar.
The sound came from afar and rapidly drew closer, resembling a bear's roar.
An emerald figure entered his sight.
[Species: Emerald Swan] [Age: Hundred-Year Spirit Beast]
"An Emerald Swan." Qian Xunji was startled when he saw the system's appraisal.
The Emerald Swan could be called the strongest healing-type Spirit Beast, with tremendous potential.
One could curse Bi Ji as a sanctimonious fool who ruined more than she accomplished, favored humans, always spoke for them, and refused to start a war between humans and beasts, calling her a traitor to her own kind.
But one had to admit that her healing ability was leagues ahead of all others. So long as the target retained even a trace of life and had not had their soul scattered, she could restore severed limbs, heal severe internal injuries, bone fractures, and shattered meridians, even pulling heavily wounded people on the verge of death back to life.
Raising an Emerald Swan would bring Qian Xunji enormous benefits.
After becoming a god, if he wanted to gather Faith Power, a Ferocious Beast-level Emerald Swan could provide free medical treatment and specialize in treating impoverished people who came seeking help.
Wouldn't that Faith Power surge upward in waves?
If he wanted to be even more immoral, he could put laxatives in the water while having the Emerald Swan treat those suffering from diarrhea, increasing the efficiency of Faith Power collection.
As for whether the Emerald Swan would complain about becoming a wage slave who had to work overtime every day, that was not something Qian Xunji needed to consider. He was not exploiting ordinary civilians, after all, so he could not be called a heartless capitalist.
The Hundred-Year Emerald Swan instinctively sensed that this human, Qian Xunji, possessed immense power and subconsciously flew toward him.
The dark-gold giant bear chasing behind her extended its enormous, razor-sharp claws, seeming to tear space apart.
[Species: Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear] [Age: Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast]
A Hundred-Thousand-Year Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear might not compare to a Hundred-Thousand-Year Golden-Haired Lion Mastiff, but its offense and defense were equally formidable.
The powerful Behemoth bloodline within its body could not be underestimated.
Soul Shock paired with the Holy Light Sword allowed him to kill monsters without taking damage, easily taking down a Hundred-Thousand-Year Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear.
So what if its hide was tough and its defenses high?
The fragile anus was a weakness shared by the vast majority of living beings.
As long as he attacked the weak point and successfully delivered a fatal blow, he could deal with it easily.
After recovering the Hundred-Thousand-Year Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear's corpse into the System Space, Qian Xunji saw different Spirit Bone text.
The three-piece set obtained when recovering Xiao Wu's corpse had been the body, Spirit Ring, and Spirit Bone.
But the three-piece set from recovering this newly killed Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear's corpse was the body, Spirit Ring, and External Soul Bone.
Full name: Hundred-Thousand-Year Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear Right Palm External Soul Bone.
If it had merely been an arm bone or torso bone, Qian Xunji would only have left it in the System Space to gather dust.
But an External Soul Bone was different.
Every External Soul Bone was the prototype of a divine artifact.
The Eight Spider Lances, which possessed devouring abilities, were even the prototype of a super divine artifact.
For Tang San to become a god, he had to kowtow to the Eight Spider Lances and the Man Faced Demon Spider clan.
Because Qian Xunji had saved her from the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear, the Emerald Swan gratefully rubbed against his Emperor Armor.
If no kindhearted person had stepped in to save her, this little goose would have become that bad bear's snack.
Qian Xunji put the Emerald Swan before him, which had grown close to him, into the Ten Thousand Beast Platform and headed toward the Man Faced Demon Spider territory.
Killing a Hundred-Thousand-Year Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear today and obtaining an External Soul Bone proved that he was not unlucky, but truly blessed by luck.
As someone blessed by luck, he refused to believe that killing a Hundred-Thousand-Year Man Faced Demon Spider would not yield a Hundred-Thousand-Year Eight Spider Lances External Soul Bone.
With two External Soul Bones empowering him, Asura God would see his potential and compare him with Tang Chen.
Heh, he refused to believe Asura God would still choose Tang Chen as his inheritor and give him special treatment during the God Trial.
Asura God's High Priestess? Not even a dog would take that job!
Once the God Trial was judged a failure.
Qian Xunji would immediately destroy Slaughter City, wipe out the Clear Sky Clan, slaughter every member of the Tang Family, then eradicate the Seven Kill Sword lineage.
If I can't have it, no one else can!
