"Roar!"
"Awoooo!"
That was a series of overlapping beast roars.
They echoed through the outer periphery of the Star Dou Great Forest.
The owner of one of those voices was the overlord of this territory.
A thirty-thousand-year-old Dark-Gold Dreadclaw Bear.
On the other side, however, was a rarely seen lion-shaped soul beast, a golden-haired lion mastiff.
It stood about four meters tall.
Its combined head-to-tail length exceeded seven meters.
Its entire body was covered in thick, golden fur.
When its bloody maw opened, it was full of razor-sharp teeth gleaming with cold light!
"Whoosh!"
As a gust of wind blew by, its mane bristled like steel needles!
Resembling burning golden flames, it draped all the way down its spine.
It clearly had a leonine silhouette, yet it possessed the broad muzzle of a mastiff.
From its cheeks up to its forehead spread a twisted, pitch-black ghost-face pattern.
If one stared at it for too long, it would breed terror in their heart and even make them want to turn and run.
Yet at this moment, this golden-haired lion mastiff unexpectedly spoke human words, leaving the giant bear opposite it completely dumbfounded.
"Damn stupid bear, how dare you fight me for a rabbit!"
Right now, a plump, already lifeless rabbit was being pinned under the foot of this giant lion.
Judging by its breed, it should be the most famous Soft Bone Rabbit in the forest.
Originally, this kind of rabbit did not have much innate talent.
Yet a few years ago, a certain Xiao Wu had appeared.
Thus, the status of the Soft Bone Rabbit clan in the Star Dou Great Forest rose sharply.
They had become a delicacy that everyone wanted a taste of!
Take this Dark-Gold Dreadclaw Bear before them, for instance.
It lacked the ability to catch one itself, yet it insisted on snatching someone else's!
"Damn it, this is my first meal after being reborn, no way in hell am I giving it to you!"
That's right!
This golden-haired lion mastiff had not existed before.
Instead, it was a certain time traveler who, after binding a system called [Devour the Heavens],
had received a starter gift pack...
His original name was Lei Dong, but that person's name no longer mattered now.
At this moment, he was the only golden-haired lion mastiff in the Star Dou Great Forest.
His cultivation had just reached the full mark of ten thousand years.
"Ao!"
Perhaps due to a communication barrier.
Or perhaps because this thirty-thousand-year-old Dark-Gold Dreadclaw Bear was accustomed to snatching food before.
So it did not take the golden-haired lion mastiff in front of it seriously at all.
While roaring,
it even stood upright like a human, supporting its body with its two strong hind limbs.
It brandished its two front paws, trying to make its opponent back down in the face of difficulty.
At this awkward moment,
the system released a new command once more.
[Ding! Congratulations, Host! Your beginner quest has changed!] [The quest has changed from hunting 50 Soft Bone Rabbits to slaying the Dark-Gold Dreadclaw Bear before you.] [Your quest reward will also be doubled.] [Please activate your racial trait, Domination Domain, at the very first moment to immunize yourself against all bloodline suppression.]
Hearing that familiar yet unfamiliar electronic voice in his mind,
the golden-haired lion mastiff could not help but tremble all over.
This system, you are driving me into a dead end!
Who doesn't know that the Darkgolden Terrorclaw Bear clan has an old ancestor known as Xiong Jun with a cultivation of 470,000 years.
He lived near the Central Lake of the Star Dou Great Forest.
The system was asking me to hunt him?
"Arooo!"
Before the Golden-Haired Lion Mastiff could make a decision.
The Dark-Gold Dreadclaw Bear opposite seemed to lose patience first!
This gluttonous fellow's gaze was entirely aimed at the fat rabbit beneath the opponent's paws.
Then it slapped toward the Golden-Haired Lion Mastiff with a single paw!
In this foolish bear's imagination.
With this single slap, it could definitely send the little lion before it flying.
And then easily claim its prey.
But the unexpected happened.
Almost as a conditioned reflex.
This Golden-Haired Lion Mastiff actually swept a claw across as well.
He actually wanted to fight head-on?
"Slap!"
"Crack!"
Everything happened so suddenly.
Almost in the blink of an eye.
Along with a crisp sound of bone fracture, the victor seemed to be decided in an instant.
"Wuwuwu!"
What was completely unexpected.
The one knocked to the ground turned out to be the Dark-Gold Dreadclaw Bear?
This big guy's bear paw on this side was now completely deformed!
Two terrifying Ferocious Beasts engaged in a direct confrontation.
He didn't expect that a 10,000-year Golden-Haired Lion Mastiff would actually shatter the opponent's bear paw with a single slap!
Heh heh, your physical strength is nothing much after all!
Want to use bloodline suppression? Look at who I am first!
Old man's [Domination Domain] isn't even afraid of the Dragon Race's coercion!
As a former reader of Douluo Continent.
This Golden-Haired Lion Mastiff hadn't acted rashly just now.
Because the lion he had transformed into was a heaven-defying existence throughout this entire Douluo Continent.
A 10,000-year Golden-Haired Lion Mastiff, let alone dealing with a 30,000-year Soul Beast.
Even if the opponent's strength was 40,000 or even 50,000 years, he wouldn't be afraid at all!
"It's over, let me twist your head off, and your fear will come to an end!"
The Golden-Haired Lion Mastiff split his mouth.
Revealing a row of ghastly white teeth.
After speaking.
He directly strode forward on all four legs, walking toward the fallen Dark-Gold Dreadclaw Bear.
One step.
Two steps.
With every step that fell, the ground would tremble slightly.
That already deformed bear paw was still twitching constantly.
Fresh blood flowed down the Dark-Gold Dreadclaw Bear's arm.
It seemed to have never expected that it would actually lose.
"Aro..."
The Dark-Gold Dreadclaw Bear let out a low whimper.
It watched the getting-closer Golden-Haired Lion Mastiff.
For the first time, it felt fear.
This guy...
What on earth is he?
The Golden-Haired Lion Mastiff did not care what it was thinking.
He only had one thing in his mind right now.
Eating.
This was his very first meal after his rebirth.
Although there was still a plump Soft Bone Rabbit nearby.
Right now, however.
This thirty-thousand-year Dark-Gold Dreadclaw Bear clearly suited his appetite much more.
"Wuwuwu!"
Looking at the Golden-Haired Lion Mastiff approaching step by step before it.
The Dark-Gold Dreadclaw struggled, trying to crawl back up.
The very next moment, though, it only saw a flash of golden light before its eyes.
That terrifying lion swiped a paw down once again.
This time, the target was not one of its other bear paws, but the skull of the Dark-Gold Dreadclaw Bear.
If it had been in its previous peak condition.
This giant bear still would have had the power to protect itself.
But right now!
Only death awaited it!
"Crack!"
With just this single strike down.
The skull of this Dark-Gold Dreadclaw Bear instantly caved in by a large chunk!
Its massive body crashed heavily to the ground.
Its limbs spasmed in place, struggling a few times.
Then it stopped moving entirely.
Is my body really this strong?
In fact, this Golden-Haired Lion Mastiff probably did not even know.
Among these soul beasts on the Douluo Continent.
He, this lion, was a complete numerical monster.
Merely ten thousand years of cultivation was already equivalent to a human Titled Douluo.
Dealing with the thirty-thousand-year Dark-Gold Dreadclaw Bear before him was more than enough.
And just as that stupid bear slowly stopped breathing.
The previous system prompt sounded once again.
[Ding! Congratulations to the host for successfully slaying a 30,000-year Dark-Gold Dreadclaw Bear] [Your cultivation has successfully increased by 10,000 years] [PS: Friendly reminder] [Because you have slain a clansman of the Dark-Gold Dreadclaw Bear, you are bound to endure endless fury from now on]
"What the hell?"
"Make yourself clear!"
What did endless fury mean?
Surely their patriarch at the four-hundred-and-seventy-thousand-year level wouldn't come chasing after him, right?
Before he could even think of a countermeasure, however.
The system rewards arrived ahead of time.
[Ding! Congratulations on obtaining a massive increase in cultivation!] [Your current cultivation age has grown to 20,000 years. Please keep up the good work...]
Before you continue
