"You monster... you shouldn't exist!"

Tang San's figure truly appeared above the clouds as he watched the giant beast roaring wildly on the ground.

Although he was already in the Divine Realm,

Tang San had always treated the Douluo Continent as his own backyard.

He had secretly made many arrangements.

He would never allow anything beyond his control to emerge on this continent.

And so, the rapidly growing Golden-Haired Lion Mastiff had caught Tang San's attention.

"Roar!"

"Damn Tang San! I knew it was you, you old scheming bastard!"

After coming face-to-face with Tang San,

the Golden-Haired Lion Mastiff understood everything.

No wonder all those people from Shrek had mobilized.

It seemed they had also acted on the Sea God's prior instructions.

But even if he knew all that,

what could he do?

Rush into the Divine Realm and settle the score with Tang San?

That was obviously unrealistic.

Ever since the Dragon God had fallen all those years ago,

an unwritten rule had existed on the Douluo Continent.

Soul Beasts could not become gods.

Rumble!

Ignoring the Golden-Haired Lion Mastiff's furious roar,

Tang San gave him another glance before vanishing into the clouds once more.

This Heavenly Tribulation, stacking thirty years atop the power of a four-hundred-thousand-year tribulation,

was Tang San's handiwork.

To avoid violating the Divine Realm's rules,

the Sea God intended to use nature's power to eliminate what he considered a potential threat!

"Damn Tang San, you want me dead?"

"You're not worthy!"

The Golden-Haired Lion Mastiff said no more.

Instead, he fixed all his attention firmly upon the sky.

Crack! Crack! Crack!

Boom!

An ordinary Soul Beast undergoing tribulation would have been immensely nervous at this moment.

It would have inspected every defense on its body with all its strength,

hoping to endure a few more lightning strikes.

But the Golden-Haired Lion Mastiff was different.

Contrary to expectation, he stared at the clouds overhead,

searching for a flaw!

"Tang San can't possibly control the Lightning Tribulation!"

"He must have used some method to link the two Heavenly Tribulations together!"

"As long as I find that point, I can destroy it at its source!"

This was absolutely not the concentration a Soul Beast should possess.

It came from human logic and reasoning.

Since everything before him had been man-made,

there had to be a way to break it!

Rumble!

The first scarlet bolt of berserk lightning finally could no longer restrain its urge to destroy.

Like a thick, blood-red enraged dragon, it tore through layers of storm clouds.

Carrying the aura of divine punishment that would annihilate all things,

it struck viciously toward the Golden-Haired Lion Mastiff's crown!

"Good!"

Faced with this terrifying strike, enough to reduce a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast to ashes in an instant,

the Golden-Haired Lion Mastiff did not choose to take it head-on. Instead, he pushed his speed to the limit!

Whoosh!

The golden afterimage he left behind was instantly vaporized by the blood lightning.

Even the hard bedrock below was blasted into a bottomless, charred abyss.

Meanwhile, the Golden-Haired Lion Mastiff's true body had already appeared several hundred meters away.

His vertical pupils, gleaming with human intelligence,

were locked onto the two utterly different tribulation clouds in the sky.

"Found it!"

"The three-hundred-thousand-year and four-hundred-thousand-year Lightning Tribulations originally belong to different laws."

"No matter how strong Tang San is, he can only force them together with divine power!"

"That dark-red thread of divine power is the stitching!"

A deeply sinister smile curled across the Golden-Haired Lion Mastiff's lips.

High-intensity energy?

A same-source energy body?

Wasn't there a ready-made "lightning rod" standing nearby?

The Golden-Haired Lion Mastiff suddenly turned his head.

His gaze, brimming with brutality and malice, locked directly onto Xuan Zi and Yan Shaozhe, who had not yet managed to flee.

"You two from Shrek have watched the show for so long."

"Now, shouldn't it be your turn to show some filial devotion to Lord Sea God?"

The moment he spoke,

a second, even thicker bolt of blood-red lightning had finished gathering in the sky.

Crack!

The blood lightning roared downward, firmly locking onto the Golden-Haired Lion Mastiff's aura.

But this time, the Golden-Haired Lion Mastiff did not flee outward.

Instead, he threw back his head and roared.

Bearing the terrifying attraction of the Lightning Tribulation, he transformed directly into a dazzling golden meteor.

He shot toward Shrek Academy's two Super Douluo at breakneck speed!

"What?"

"Fuck! You beast, don't come over here!"

Seeing the golden beast charge madly at him, carrying world-ending heavenly might,

even Xuan Zi, the normally composed Taotie Douluo, could not help swearing in terror, frightened out of his wits!

"Heh heh!"

Yet the Golden-Haired Lion Mastiff seemed to be merely feinting.

Just as he was about to reach them, he swiftly turned,

then rose at an unimaginably fast speed!

Rumble!

As though wary of harming the innocent,

the second lightning strike seemed to veer slightly when it descended.

It deliberately avoided Xuan Zi's position.

It might have been a coincidence, but it was far more likely that the one above was interfering.

"This is exactly the chance I needed!"

During the interval between the two lightning strikes,

the Golden-Haired Lion Mastiff seized his opportunity.

At top speed, he rushed into the center of the two cloud layers!

Meanwhile, Gu Yuena, watching the tribulation from afar, had eyes full of confusion and shock.

"Is this little thing trying to get himself killed?"

"Charging into the clouds at a time like this—what is he trying to do?"

Whoosh!

Just as Gu Yuena could not make sense of it,

she saw the Golden-Haired Lion Mastiff spew a vast sea of flames from his mouth.

It engulfed all the space before him!

What was going on?

Could it be that he wanted to destroy the connection between the two Heavenly Tribulations by raising the temperature?

Crack! Crack! Crack!

Under the extreme heat, those dark-red threads of divine power began to twist violently!

This was no ordinary mortal flame.

It was ultimate fire spewed out by the Golden-Haired Lion Mastiff as he burned his source Soul Power in desperation!

Even the surrounding void was scorched into widespread collapse and distortion.

Sizzle! Sizzle! Sizzle!

The two terrifying tribulation clouds, once tightly connected, finally began to fluctuate with extreme instability.

"It worked!"

Without Tang San's divine power forcibly suppressing and reconciling them,

the three-hundred-thousand-year and four-hundred-thousand-year Lightning Tribulations were like two peerless Fierce Beasts that had broken free of control.

They had originally belonged to different laws of heaven and earth, and were intensely mutually exclusive!

Now that the balance forcibly holding them together had been broken, it instantly triggered a catastrophic backlash!

Rumble!

A deafening, earth-shattering explosion erupted ten thousand meters in the air.

This time, heaven's might did not strike the ground.

Instead, the two tribulation clouds began madly devouring and colliding with one another in the sky!

Crack! Crack! Crack!

Scarlet berserk lightning and purple-black lightning tore into each other.

The destructive shockwaves spread wildly in every direction like rings of tangible tsunamis.

Even that trace of pressure projected from the Divine Realm was blasted into fragments!

"Madman! That guy is absolutely insane!"

That was the final voice the Sea God Tang San left beside the Golden-Haired Lion Mastiff's ear.

"So it was only a clone!"

"With that little power, you thought you could mess with me?"

This was an utterly unexpected victory.

Originally, against this super Lightning Tribulation,

his odds of life and death had been fifty-fifty.

They might even have been forty-sixty.

But taking it head-on was what idiots did.

Finding the key was how one could achieve twice the result with half the effort!

"Tang San, get back to your Divine Realm!"

"One day, when I can get up there, I'll personally knock out every one of your teeth!"

After letting out a series of low growls,

the Golden-Haired Lion Mastiff successfully passed his tribulation.

And this tribulation seemed to have gone even faster than the previous ones!

The reason was simple.

Tang San had outsmarted himself!

The clone he had projected down to monitor the Golden-Haired Lion Mastiff

had instead helped this fellow endure a considerable portion of the lightning attacks.

"Hahaha, not bad, not bad!"

"Tang San, Tang San! You think you can kill me?"

"Why don't you piss and look in the mirror first—see whether you're worthy?"

This vow from the Golden-Haired Lion Mastiff!

Could Sea God Tang San hear it?

But Gu Yuena and the others heard it loud and clear.

"This guy is too terrifying!"

"My Lord, your injuries haven't healed yet. It wouldn't be wise to clash head-on with this mad dog. Leave it to us!"

Though he was covered in wounds himself, Di Tian still held Gu Yuena in great respect.

After seeing the thunderclouds in the sky gradually disperse,

Gu Yuena slowly nodded.

"It seems we've raised an exceptionally powerful enemy for ourselves!"

At that moment, even the Silver Dragon King felt a trace of fear.

"We probably can no longer stop this guy's rise. Take Bi Ji and leave..."

Following the Silver Dragon King's order,

The badly wounded Di Tian picked up Bi Ji, whose body had already grown cold.

Normally, a dead Fierce Beast would condense a Soul Ring in about two hours.

But for some reason, the Star Dou Great Forest's foremost healer showed no sign of doing so.

"Quick, take her back to the lakeside at the center. Perhaps I can still save her..."

Glancing at this beauty on the verge of death,

Gu Yuena let out a sigh.

Right now, saving people was probably the only thing she could do.

As for this Golden-Haired Lion Mastiff, perhaps only Heaven could deal with it!
