"Hehehe!"
"Little beauty, are you threatening me?"
Hearing Gu Yuena's words,
the Golden-Haired Lion Mastiff wore a mocking smile.
"Have you not figured out the situation?"
As soon as he finished speaking,
the Golden-Haired Lion Mastiff extended a paw.
He slowly toyed with the scales around Di Tian's wound!
Even that light teasing
caused Di Tian unbearable pain.
"Arghhh!"
"Roar!"
It was a heart-wrenching scream.
At this moment, where was Di Tian's former majestic bearing?
As long as the Golden-Haired Lion Mastiff turned ruthless,
the beast god of the Star Dou Great Forest could lose his life at any moment!
"You... why haven't you released him yet?"
Hearing her subordinate's heart-rending cries, Gu Yuena was thrown into disarray.
As the revered co-lord of soul beasts, when had she ever endured such humiliation?
She had always been surrounded by adoration.
Di Tian and the others had addressed her as "My Lord."
She was also publicly acknowledged as the co-lord of all soul beasts.
But today, that halo was utterly useless before the Golden-Haired Lion Mastiff!
"Look carefully. By the time that fire poker of yours gets here, I'll have already snapped Di Tian's neck!"
"You... what exactly do you want?"
"What do you think, Lord Silver Dragon King?"
Sensing Gu Yuena's hesitation,
the Golden-Haired Lion Mastiff spoke leisurely.
He even provocatively displayed his fangs.
Traces of blood still hung from them.
The sight sent chills down one's spine...
"What do you want before you'll release him?"
"What are your conditions? Name them!"
At last, as Gu Yuena gradually recognized reality, she put away her former queenly bearing.
She did not want to watch her subordinate die like this!
"Very simple!"
"You can kneel and beg me!"
"Perhaps, for the Silver Dragon King's sake, I'll show mercy and release this fellow!"
"Roar!"
The moment those words fell,
Gu Yuena had yet to react.
But Di Tian, pinned beneath the Golden-Haired Lion Mastiff's paw, had already let out a furious roar.
"Damn lapdog! How dare you humiliate My Lord like this!"
"Arghhh! Even if I die, I will never allow you to defile our Dragon Race..."
Smack!
Just as Di Tian was spouting off,
the Golden-Haired Lion Mastiff made an extremely human-like gesture.
He actually raised his paw and viciously slapped Di Tian.
The blow directly stunned the old Black Dragon!
"Shut up! You're about to die yourself, yet you still have the time to worry about others!"
"Do all you dragons have holes in your brains?"
After hearing the exchange between these soul beasts,
Taotie Douluo Xuan Zi, standing nearby, seemed to understand something.
He slowly turned his head and looked at the conflicted Gu Yuena.
"Honored one!"
"Our Shrek Academy stands with you. We will definitely join hands and save Di Tian!"
Although he had never heard the legends of the Silver Dragon King,
judging from Di Tian's agitated reaction,
this mysterious silver-haired woman before him was surely extremely important to the entire soul beast race.
"Thank you!"
"I absolutely will not let anything happen to Di Tian. If this bastard dares harm him, I will kill him!"
Just as Gu Yuena began communicating with the humans on the other side,
the smug Golden-Haired Lion Mastiff's expression suddenly changed.
Because his system notification inexplicably sounded once more!
[Ding! The system has detected a strange tribulation cloud forming!] [After assessment, this may be a combination of your 300,000-year and 400,000-year Heavenly Tribulations!] [The system has detected that a strange external force appears to be controlling everything. The other party is filled with malice.]
What was going on?
Just when the Golden-Haired Lion Mastiff was at the height of his triumph,
had the previously delayed Heavenly Tribulations arrived all at once?
Hearing the system's notification,
the Golden-Haired Lion Mastiff slowly raised his head.
Sure enough, in the direction of his six o'clock, massive black clouds were gathering!
Faint thunder could even be heard!
Rumble!
Crackle!
Almost at the same time,
Gu Yuena noticed this abnormal phenomenon as well!
"A Lightning Tribulation?"
"But it doesn't quite seem like one!"
"How many hundred thousand years is it?"
Didn't expect this, did you?
This was a first on the Douluo Continent.
The overlap of a 300,000-year and 400,000-year Heavenly Tribulation had never occurred in soul beast history.
"What is this?"
"System, what is this external force you mentioned?"
[Ding! Your access permissions have been restricted. The system is temporarily unable to disclose information about the other party.]
What?
Was there actually something even my system could not decipher?
Could it be...
The Golden-Haired Lion Mastiff's heart abruptly sank.
For even the system to find it troublesome and display "permissions restricted"...
Looking across the entire Douluo Continent,
other than the lofty Divine Realm that established the rules, who else could it be?
But there was no time to think further.
Rumble!!
Accompanied by a shocking thunderclap that seemed capable of tearing apart the continent,
the previously bright sky, in just a few breaths,
completely turned as black as ink!
This was absolutely not an ordinary overcast sky.
It was an absolute darkness that swallowed even the slightest trace of light!
For hundreds of miles, thousands of miles...
Even the skies above nearly half of the Star Dou Great Forest
were tightly shrouded by these suffocatingly heavy tribulation clouds!
"What... what kind of monstrous Heavenly Tribulation is this?!"
Yan Shaozhe, not far away, could not help crying out.
His face instantly turned pale!
His proud Bright Phoenix Martial Soul was actually trembling at this moment.
He could not even ignite the slightest flame of light!
Xuan Zi looked even more ashen.
As a rank ninety-eight Taotie Douluo, he actually felt his legs go weak.
It was a shudder originating from the depths of his soul.
As if the heavens were about to unleash a world-ending catastrophe and destroy all things!
Crackle!
The tribulation clouds churned and surged madly.
They resembled a black ocean hanging upside down across the heavens.
And at the center of that endless darkness,
terrifying blood-red lightning bolts slowly began to form!
That was right!
They were not ordinary silver thunder or purple lightning.
They were crimson lightning filled with absolute destruction and malice!
They were like blood-red mad dragons ready to devour anyone in their path.
They darted and intertwined crazily within the clouds!
They unleashed terrifying roars that pierced the eardrums!
The surrounding air instantly went berserk.
Space could not withstand such extreme pressure.
Large swaths of distortion and fine spatial cracks began to appear!
That terrifying sense of oppression
even caused the hardened scorched earth beneath the Golden-Haired Lion Mastiff's paws to crack inch by inch!
"This is not an ordinary Heavenly Tribulation..."
Gu Yuena stared fixedly at the sky.
Her exquisite silver eyes were filled with disbelief.
Her delicate body trembled faintly despite herself.
As the former Dragon God's avatar,
she was far too familiar with that lofty, icy presence!
"This is... a Divine Punishment bearing the will of the Divine Realm!"
"It wants to erase everything here completely, not even sparing their souls!"
As Gu Yuena's words fell,
at the center of those blood-red tribulation clouds churning to their limit,
a massive rift suddenly began to split open.
Like a cold eye of heaven, it abruptly opened!
Sizzle!
A crimson beam of light, almost tangible,
carrying an irresistible locking presence, shot straight downward!
Without the slightest deviation,
it instantly locked tightly onto the enormous Golden-Haired Lion Mastiff below!
The instant he was locked onto by that red light,
the Golden-Haired Lion Mastiff felt as if all the blood in his body were freezing solid.
An unprecedented sense of mortal danger shot straight to the top of his head!
[Ding! Warning! The Destruction Divine Punishment has completely locked onto the host!]
[Please remain on the highest alert. A force seems to be trying to erase you directly.]
The system had put it that plainly.
Did he really think no one would be pulling strings behind the scenes?
And upon hearing the system prompt,
the Golden-Haired Lion Mastiff jolted as well.
Somewhat unwillingly, he released Di Tian, whom he had just seized, and casually tossed out a remark.
"Old loach, consider yourself lucky!"
"If you don't want to die, hurry up and flee with that master of yours!"
In truth, a stacked Lightning Tribulation of this level could not possibly have formed naturally.
It had been specially guided by certain people.
They wanted to use this seemingly reasonable Heavenly Tribulation to erase the Golden-Haired Lion Mastiff from Douluo Continent in a perfectly reasonable manner.
"You damned scheming bastard! If you've got the guts, show yourself! What kind of hero hides behind the scenes?"
The Golden-Haired Lion Mastiff was truly enraged.
He had practically been about to become the overlord of the entire Star Dou Great Forest.
Who would have thought that, at the very last moment, someone would emerge to manipulate things in secret?
And clearly, that person had been observing the Golden-Haired Lion Mastiff for quite some time.
Otherwise, he could never have launched such a precise strike!
"Buzz!"
As if responding to the Fierce Beast's roar,
a phantom seemed to appear within the tribulation clouds.
Its form was blue, shrouded in a dark crimson aura.
Through the thick clouds, he could vaguely see a golden trident in the other party's hand.
"Who are you?"
"Sea God Tang San!"
"You and I have no grievances between us. Why are you trying to kill me?"
Though it had only been a fleeting glimpse,
the Golden-Haired Lion Mastiff still remembered that shadow.
With the soul of a transmigrator,
and after piecing together all the intelligence,
the answer was obvious.
Sea God Tang San had been behind everything.
That sinister old bastard, in order to maintain the balance of Douluo Continent,
had actually tried to use this method to erase the Golden-Haired Lion Mastiff!
"Damn Sea God! If you've got the guts, come down here!"
Although he now knew who his enemy was,
the Golden-Haired Lion Mastiff truly had no way to deal with him at the moment.
He could only grit his teeth and fight...
