Myriad Demon King Is Isolated, Golden-Haired Lion Mastiff Enters Hunting Mode

"Keep a close eye on Myriad Demon King!"

"The hunting season has begun!"

This was absolutely thrilling news for the Golden-Haired Lion Mastiff.

In terms of cultivation, this was a super plant-type soul beast with 530,000 years of cultivation.

Its rank was even higher than that Dark-Gold Dreadclaw Bear's.

It ranked fifth on the entire Douluo Continent.

This was good stuff.

If he could devour it and obtain its essence,

then the Golden-Haired Lion Mastiff could definitely level up quickly.

He would gain the strength to crush Di Tian!

And under the current circumstances,

this was precisely when these ferocious beasts would be the least vigilant.

Because under normal circumstances,

any soul beast that had endured a 200,000-year heavenly tribulation would suffer a long period of weakness.

Not to mention that Demon Spirit was keeping watch.

Who would have thought that this terrifying beast would attempt a counterkill?

"Crack, crack, crack!"

"Children, since the sun is shining today, get some proper rest. This old man will..."

Just as the Golden-Haired Lion Mastiff had expected, Myriad Demon King was quite relaxed at the moment.

He was even cultivating a new batch of saplings.

He hoped these little ones would grow strong and become the foundation of his future.

But then, a flicker of ghostly light flashed before his eyes.

Something seemed to be spying from within the forest.

"Who is it?"

"Come out, or this old man won't be polite!"

Smack!

The next moment, the great tree swung out two vine-like whips from its trunk, as though they could attack at any moment!

"Wait, wait, wait! It's me!"

Left with no choice, Demon Spirit, who had already become a ghost servant, jumped out.

But his eyes flickered, and he did not dare look Myriad Demon King in the eye.

That was only natural.

After all, he only had 200,000 years of cultivation.

Before Myriad Demon King, who possessed over 500,000 years of cultivation, he naturally had to bow and scrape.

Although Demon Spirit had already been corrupted by the Golden-Haired Lion Mastiff,

he was exceptionally skilled at disguising himself.

Other than something being wrong with his core, he looked no different from before.

And upon seeing this "old acquaintance,"

Myriad Demon King lowered his guard as well.

"You brat! Lord Di Tian told you to keep an eye on that soul beast, yet you came here to slack off?"

"Hehe, wasn't it too boring?"

"Besides, after that 200,000-year heavenly tribulation, the kid was already at death's door. Who knows where he's hiding and licking his wounds now!"

Seeing Myriad Demon King's smugness and disdain,

Demon Spirit simply played along.

"Hahaha, just as I said!"

"It's only a little lapdog. What's so impressive about it?"

"Go tell Lord Di Tian about this. Let him deal with it personally!"

To Myriad Demon King at this moment,

the Golden-Haired Lion Mastiff probably no longer posed any threat at all.

But the old fellow did not know

that the true killer was lying in wait less than three hundred meters from Demon Spirit.

It was slowly sneaking closer.

And Demon Spirit's disguise was the finest anesthetic!

Roar!

Before Myriad Demon King could finish speaking,

the relaxed expression on his aged tree-trunk face instantly froze!

A berserk, scorching aura erupted without warning.

From the shadows behind Demon Spirit!

A distance of three hundred meters

was less than the blink of an eye for the Golden-Haired Lion Mastiff with the Domination Domain activated.

Boom!

There was no grand declaration of war, only the ultimate instinct to kill!

A sixty-five-meter-long dark-gold afterimage tore through the air.

Wrapped in a skyful of crimson-gold natal true fire,

it crashed directly toward Myriad Demon King's core trunk like a falling meteor!

"Bastard! Demon Spirit, you dare deceive me?"

Myriad Demon King was both shocked and enraged.

His terrifying 530,000 years of cultivation erupted in full force.

Within several thousand meters around them, every towering tree seemed to come alive in an instant.

Countless vines as thick as water vats, glowing with poisonous purple light, burst from the ground.

Like frenzied pythons, they wildly intertwined into a massive wooden shield wall.

"Blockhead, don't you understand that fire counters wood?"

The Golden-Haired Lion Mastiff let out a thunderous roar.

Heaven-Rending Claw: Flame Version!

Five hundred-meter-long dark-gold claw strikes, coated in searing true fire,

slashed fiercely into the seemingly impregnable vine shield wall!

Screech!

A teeth-grating tearing sound rang out.

The poisonous vines, said to be capable of withstanding a dragon's charge, were instantly shredded like dead branches and rotten leaves!

The entire forest immediately turned into a sea of flames.

But Myriad Demon King was, after all, one of the top five super ferocious beasts.

At the instant his defenses collapsed, his main trunk violently split apart.

A jet-black source root, like a drilling venom dragon, shot forth!

Carrying a nauseating aura of decay, it stabbed straight at the Golden-Haired Lion Mastiff's abdomen!

"Boss, I'll hold him back!"

At that critical moment, Demon Spirit, who had been meek and submissive all along, suddenly sprang into action.

He completely dropped his disguise, turning into an incomparably solid ghostly blue psychic storm.

Without hesitation, he crashed into Myriad Demon King's sea of consciousness!

"Ahhh!!"

Myriad Demon King's soul suffered an unexpected, devastating blow.

That fatal black main root abruptly stopped when it was only half an inch from the Golden-Haired Lion Mastiff's abdomen!

When masters clashed, a single instant determined life and death!

"Nicely done, Employee of the Month!"

Taking advantage of the opportunity, the Golden-Haired Lion Mastiff forcibly twisted his enormous body in midair and evaded the killing blow.

Then, he opened his bloodied maw, large enough to swallow mountains and rivers.

He clamped down hard on Myriad Demon King's core trunk in a single bite!

Berserk lightning and flames surged wildly through his sharp fangs!

"Ahhh!"

"You... you damned lapdog!"

Wracked with pain, Myriad Demon King desperately thrashed his body.

But what use was that?

The Golden-Haired Lion Mastiff had long learned the locations of these high-level soul beasts' Soul Cores from Demon Spirit.

As soon as his final bloody maw bit into his opponent's core,

he began wildly siphoning energy.

Because Myriad Demon King was a plant-type soul beast,

all of his essence was concentrated in this location.

Very soon, a slurping sound like someone drinking cola came from the Golden-Haired Lion Mastiff's mouth.

"Rustle, rustle, rustle!"

"Crash, crash!"

The surrounding saplings, those tree demons of around 100,000 years, saw their ancestor under attack.

One after another, they tried to rush over and rescue him.

But they moved too slowly; distant water could not put out a nearby fire.

And there was also a 200,000-year-level Demon Spirit blocking their path.

In despair, they could only raise their branches high.

They swayed them ceaselessly toward the core of the Star Dou Great Forest.

This was how plant-type soul beasts called for help.

It was foolish, but effective.

Roar!

"Myriad Demon King, what happened to you?"

That was Di Tian's furious roar.

Since he could only see a mass of tree shadows, the Beast God could not determine what had happened.

The next moment, the Golden-Haired Lion Mastiff sent a new command directly to Demon Spirit through their consciousness.

"Go tell him that Myriad Demon King is chasing me. Lure that old Black Dragon to the edge of the Star Dou Great Forest!"

"Then I'll settle some old scores with him!"

While forcefully absorbing Myriad Demon King's essence,

the Golden-Haired Lion Mastiff was already planning to hunt the Beast God, Di Tian!

"Yes, my master!"

After receiving the order, Demon Spirit respectfully bowed.

Then he swiftly vanished from the spot.

Before long, the diligent infiltrator appeared before the great Black Dragon.

"Lord Di Tian, something terrible has happened!"

"That lapdog is trying to escape! Lord Myriad Demon King has already gone after him!"

"What? Take me there, quickly!"

Although it felt somewhat abrupt, the situation was urgent, and Demon Spirit was leading the way.

Di Tian did not harbor the slightest suspicion.

He immediately took the two women beside him and followed Demon Spirit as they charged toward the outskirts of the Star Dou Forest...
