Tiger's Minion! The Golden-Haired Lion Mastiff Turned Demon Spirit into a Scout

[Ding, congratulations, Host, for devouring Demon Spirit, one of the Ten Great Fierce Beasts. Your cultivation has reached 290,000 years!]

[Special notice: because you previously obtained the special skill Tiger's Minion, you can transform Demon Spirit into your Wraith Servant. Would you like to proceed?]

It had to be said, the system was truly dedicated.

Over here, the Golden-Haired Lion Mastiff was still being struck by lightning.

Yet the system notification had already appeared.

And the rewards were distributed immediately.

Under the barrage of lightning, the Golden-Haired Lion Mastiff not only suffered no major damage.

Instead, thanks to his increased cultivation, his body swelled dramatically.

From head to tail, he now measured over 65 meters.

From afar, his mighty physique no longer lost out to that of a giant dragon!

Although he was still slightly smaller than Di Tian.

If he faced Zi JI, the Hell Demon Dragon, again, he would absolutely crush her in every aspect!

"Heh heh, not a bad idea!"

"Demon Spirit was suited to being a spy in the first place. Turning him into a soul form will definitely work even better!"

If one had not been a transmigrator from Blue Star.

It would have been difficult to truly understand the meaning of Tiger's Minion.

Ancient people called tigers mountain lords.

Legend had it that those who died at the hands of a mountain lord would become all kinds of Wraith Servants.

They would help their master lure even more prey to their doorstep.

These Wraith Servants came in countless forms.

Some were charming, seductive young women, while others were honest, simple farmers.

Unless one was a cultivator.

Ordinary people would find it difficult to tell them apart!

At the same time, these beings retained part of their memories and abilities from when they were alive.

At critical moments, they could deal their prey a fatal blow at any time!

"I'm going to turn you into my worker!"

"System, help me convert him!"

[Ding, command received. Conversion has begun. Please wait patiently...]

This scene was rather interesting.

Amid the thunder and lightning of the Heavenly Tribulation.

An unbelievable, mysterious resurrection was underway!

"Rumble!"

"Crack! Crack! Crack!"

Silver lightning serpents danced madly across the sky, as though they wanted to tear apart heaven and earth.

At the center of this world-ending storm, a ball of ghostly green light quietly bloomed beneath the Golden-Haired Lion Mastiff's feet.

[Ding! Congratulations, Host. Conversion successful!]

[Obtained exclusive Wraith Servant: Demon Spirit (retains 90% of his spiritual power and Illusion abilities from before death; absolutely obedient)]

As the system's notification faded.

A wisp of green smoke slowly drifted out from the Golden-Haired Lion Mastiff's shadow.

Within the lightning filling the sky, it twisted and gathered, eventually transforming into a translucent, ghostly blue phantom.

If Di Tian had been here, his jaw would surely have dropped.

Because the aura of this phantom was exactly the same as that of the Demon Spirit who had been devoured earlier!

The only difference was that his eyes no longer carried the pride of one of the Ten Great Fierce Beasts.

In its place was deep awe and obedience carved into his very soul.

"M-Master..."

An ethereal, trembling voice rang out in the Golden-Haired Lion Mastiff's mind.

Demon Spirit, who retained his memories from when he was alive, had completely broken down inside.

He was the tenth-ranked Fierce Beast of the Star Dou Great Forest, a supreme existence with over 200,000 years of cultivation!

One moment, he had been plotting against others. The next, he had not only become food, but even had his soul ripped out!

He had become a "slave" doomed to be driven by another for all eternity!

This was ten thousand times more humiliating than having his soul scattered!

"Heh heh heh, why call me Master? Call me Boss!"

The Golden-Haired Lion Mastiff pulled back his enormous lips, revealing an exceedingly human-like and malicious grin amid the lightning.

"Now that you're my employee, you need to work."

"Your spirit body looks pretty tough. Why don't you block a bolt of lightning for me first?"

"Ah?"

Demon Spirit's phantom shuddered violently.

You want me to withstand a 200,000-year Heavenly Tribulation?

Even capitalists would cry at this!

But the law of Tiger's Minion was absolute obedience.

The third bolt of deep-blue lightning, thicker than a water vat, crashed down!

Demon Spirit's soul could not resist at all and directly soared into the air to meet the heavenly lightning.

"Illusion: Void Shield!"

He let out a miserable shriek and instantly squeezed every last bit of spiritual power from his body.

Above the Golden-Haired Lion Mastiff's head, he forcibly formed a massive ghostly blue spiritual shield.

"Bang!!!"

The berserk Heavenly Tribulation smashed fiercely into the shield.

The shield lasted only half a second before cracks spread across it and it exploded apart!

Demon Spirit's phantom was also struck so badly that it became dim and faded, retreating into the shadow like a candle flame in the wind.

But it was precisely that incomparably precious half-second of delay!

It deflected the most violent first burst of the heavenly lightning.

The Golden-Haired Lion Mastiff casually shook his body.

Relying on the powerful physique empowered by the Domination Domain, he completely absorbed the remaining lightning.

"Not bad, not bad. This worker is really useful!"

"Not only can he serve as an all-around radar, but at critical moments, he can also be a free lightning rod!"

Feeling the increasingly surging lightning power within his body, the Golden-Haired Lion Mastiff threw back his head and released an arrogant roar.

After testing Demon Spirit's power.

The Golden-Haired Lion Mastiff shattered the final bolt of heavenly lightning with a single roar.

Although this Lightning Tribulation was far stronger than the one at 100,000 years.

It was still not enough in front of the Golden-Haired Lion Mastiff.

And now, it was time to get down to business!

"Demon Spirit!"

"Keep pretending that nothing happened. Go back to those Fierce Beasts and help me monitor them..."

Do not think the Golden-Haired Lion Mastiff truly feared those fellows.

In fact, only after surviving this 200,000-year Heavenly Tribulation would his real counterattack begin.

"Master, do you wish to hunt the Ten Great Fierce Beasts?"

"Very clever!"

"However, judging from what happened earlier!"

"These old fellows really like sticking together. You need to help me find moments when these Fierce Beasts are alone!"

"By your command, Master!"

No matter how much Demon Spirit had despised the Golden-Haired Lion Mastiff when he was alive.

After becoming a Wraith Servant, he would obey every command one hundred percent.

Even if he were ordered to run straight into Di Tian's line of fire, this worker ghost would not utter a single complaint.

"Very good. You understand perfectly. Go!"

This was a relationship that was difficult to describe with words.

To use a rather inappropriate comparison.

It was like flying a kite.

Even if one released the kite dozens or even hundreds of meters into the sky.

Even if it became nothing more than a tiny black dot.

As long as the kite string remained in one's hand.

One could keep track of the Wraith Servant's movements at all times.

And share all of his senses and vision.

This skill itself might not possess much killing power.

But its scouting ability was first-rate.

"Whoosh!"

Very quickly, Demon Spirit vanished without a trace once again.

Meanwhile, the Golden-Haired Lion Mastiff quietly retreated a little toward the outskirts of the Star Dou Great Forest.

This was also meant to numb the spies of those Fierce Beasts.

Yet little did they know, the real hunt had only just begun!

Soon, through the connection of that invisible string.

All sorts of low-level information came flooding back!

[Master: Bi Ji and Zi JI have remained at Di Tian's side. They are difficult to approach.]

[The injured Xiong Jun is being guarded by members of his clan. There are around twenty Dark-Gold Dreadclaw Bears nearby.]

[Scarlet King is still accompanying the Three-Eyed Golden Lion, but seven 100,000-year soul beasts have appeared behind them.]

[The Silver Dragon King is sleeping at the bottom of the lake. Her whereabouts are unknown.]

[Myriad Demon King has returned to his nest alone and seems to be preparing for a long sleep...]

Damn!

Hearing each of these messages.

The Golden-Haired Lion Mastiff was thrilled.

It felt just like playing strategy games as a child, with the entire map revealed...

"Demon Spirit, keep a close eye on Myriad Demon King!"

"If he is alone, he will be my next target!"
