"Ha ha ha!"
"Finally got it done!"
"Though I lost two decent underlings, I finally made it through!"
About half an hour later.
The scene finally returned to peace.
The Golden-Haired Lion Mastiff also let out a heavy breath.
Though he was covered in wounds, his recovery speed was extremely fast.
That was also thanks to absorbing so many high-level soul beasts and human martial souls before.
After sleeping here for the night,
he would be lively again by morning and able to go hunting!
"I should make some preparations first and decide tomorrow's menu!"
Gu Yuena and those high-level soul beasts might have escaped unscathed,
but while the monks could run, the temple could not!
The Golden-Haired Lion Mastiff did not even need to think to know that those guys had definitely gathered by the central lake.
Because only there
would Emerald Swan Bi Ji have any chance of surviving!
"That Emerald Swan was pretty lucky before. Looks like my claw strike was still a little lacking!"
"But that's fine. A hot spring beauty and a delicious feast—just thinking about that scene is wonderful!"
Though the Golden-Haired Lion Mastiff was still licking his wounds,
many indescribable images had already appeared in his mind.
But as the saying went, extreme joy brought sorrow.
Though the Golden-Haired Lion Mastiff had become an invincible existence in the Star Dou Great Forest,
he seemed to have forgotten that someone in the Divine Realm was very interested in him.
Though the thunderous execution had failed just now,
would Tang San possibly give up?
As the root of every tragedy in the entire Douluo five-part saga,
Tang San was the greatest troublemaker in heaven and earth!
He would not rest until he achieved his goal!
The Golden-Haired Lion Mastiff had seemingly escaped disaster,
but he had thoroughly provoked the Sea God's killing intent!
"Big Brother!"
"Is that the golden-haired little brat?"
"Who would have thought that the Soul Beast King of the Star Dou Great Forest had actually changed hands?"
Just as the Golden-Haired Lion Mastiff was lost in fantasy, imagining taking a bath with those beautiful female soul beasts,
two arrogant voices suddenly rang out overhead.
Those two seemed to have appeared out of thin air.
They abruptly entered his field of vision.
"Human soul masters?"
"No, that's not right! You're soul beasts!"
Seeing the two figures descending from the sky,
the Golden-Haired Lion Mastiff's pupils suddenly constricted.
The sunlight had blocked his view before, making it impossible to see their appearances and faces clearly.
But when those two drew close,
the Golden-Haired Lion Mastiff immediately tensed up.
Because he had seen these two faces in the anime.
They were Da Ming and Er Ming, the former kings of the Star Dou Great Forest—the Titan Giant Ape and Sky Azure Bull Python!
Logically, these two should have gone to the Divine Realm with Tang San.
And they possessed the power of Peak Second-Level Gods.
Going by the plot,
these two should have been at the Clear Sky Sect right now, secretly helping Tang San look after his daughter, Tang Wutong.
So why had they come here?
"You're the Golden-Haired Lion Mastiff?"
"What the hell are you?"
Ignoring the giant beast's wary gaze,
Er Ming swaggered forward, his eyes filled with disdain.
As though the one before him was merely a stray dog by the roadside.
"You two... weren't you supposed to have ascended to heaven?"
Seeing how brazenly they acted,
the Golden-Haired Lion Mastiff could not help muttering softly.
Upon hearing that,
Er Ming, dressed as a human soul master, turned back in surprise to look at the man beside him.
The smile on his face grew even wider.
"Big Brother, this kid knows us!"
Meanwhile, the other burly man with a solemn expression stepped forward.
He looked seriously at the Golden-Haired Lion Mastiff.
"Kid, you're unlucky. Someone specifically ordered us to get rid of you, so..."
"Roar!"
The next moment, the auras of those two figures dressed as human soul masters surged explosively.
They swiftly returned to their soul beast forms!
"Aang!"
"Awoo, awoo, awoo!"
Accompanied by two earth-shaking roars,
the previously clear sky was instantly engulfed by an utterly terrifying pressure!
This was not the aura of some hundred-thousand-year Fierce Beast.
It was genuine—divine-level pressure!
Er Ming's human body, originally as imposing as an iron tower, began changing rapidly.
Within dazzling earthen-yellow light,
a Titan Giant Ape as massive as a mountain rose from the ground!
Every inch of his body was packed with knotted muscle.
His dark golden fur glimmered beneath the sunlight with a chilling metallic sheen.
Da Ming's transformation was even more exaggerated!
With a soaring dragon roar that split clouds and shattered stone,
an enormous azure creature over a hundred meters long rose into the sky!
The head of a bull, the body of a serpent!
Dense water-and-wind elemental fluctuations flowed across his enormous azure scales.
Even more terrifyingly,
these two former overlords of the Star Dou Great Forest
were surrounded by traces of something ordinary soul beasts could never possess... divine power!
"Just as expected of Tang San's loyal lapdogs!"
"He actually sent down thugs with Peak God Official strength!"
"That old bastard really thinks highly of me!"
Feeling those two terrifying auras firmly locking onto him,
the Golden-Haired Lion Mastiff mocked them wildly with his mouth.
But his gaze had become more serious than ever before.
The previous lightning tribulation had been an erasure by the laws of heaven and earth.
But these two before him were outright physical destruction!
And Tang San's timing was far too vicious!
He had struck precisely when the Golden-Haired Lion Mastiff had just passed his tribulation and was at his weakest!
"Kid, you're at death's door and still dare insult Lord Sea God!"
Hot-tempered Er Ming gave him no chance to catch his breath.
His massive palm suddenly slammed against his chest!
A deafening boom like a war drum rang out.
"Gravity Mire!"
"Boom!"
A terrifying dark-yellow gravitational field
instantly erupted outward from Er Ming as its center!
It descended onto the Golden-Haired Lion Mastiff with perfect accuracy!
This was no ordinary soul beast skill.
It was a divine-level domain infused with the laws of divine power!
The Golden-Haired Lion Mastiff, once swift and agile as the wind,
felt as though a hundred thousand mountains had suddenly been piled onto his body!
Even the bones in his limbs
let out overloaded cracking sounds!
"You little monkey, you think this bit of gravity can crush me?"
Facing the pressure of Mount Tai descending upon him,
a savage light flared in the Golden-Haired Lion Mastiff's eyes.
The brand-new bloodline that had just completed its transformation began circulating frantically within him!
But before he could counterattack, he heard the giant monkey opposite him mutter quietly.
"What the hell?"
"Level suppression?"
"Big Brother, why has my realm dropped so much?"
It turned out that this was not Da Ming and Er Ming at their strongest.
Suppressed by Douluo Star's rules,
even though the two possessed the power of Second-Level Gods,
once they returned to the Star Dou Great Forest,
they would be forcibly suppressed below level 100.
Otherwise, if they truly had Second-Level God strength,
the Golden-Haired Lion Mastiff would probably already have suffered broken bones.
"It's troublesome, which is why Lord Sea God sent both of us brothers here to be safe!"
The Sky Azure Bull Python beside him also seemed to feel uncomfortable all over!
It was as if some external force were forcibly squeezing their released divine power back into their bodies!
Leaving them with the miserable feeling of having strength they could not use.
"Heh, it looks like the laws of this world are still reasonable!"
Hearing that exchange, hope immediately flared in the Golden-Haired Lion Mastiff's heart.
If he had to face two Second-Level Gods alone,
he would most likely die here today with hatred in his heart.
But if these two could only exert strength equivalent to million-year soul beasts,
then he absolutely had a chance to fight!
"Little lion dog, what are you so pleased about?"
"Even if Big Brother and I can only use the strength of million-year soul beasts, we can still crush you!"
Sensing the Golden-Haired Lion Mastiff's unyielding gaze,
Er Ming became somewhat irritated.
The next moment, he could not be bothered to show off anymore.
The giant ape suddenly leaped high into the air.
With the force of Mount Tai crushing down,
he descended toward the Golden-Haired Lion Mastiff on the ground.
The Sky Azure Bull Python at the side was no more honorable.
He actually circled around and charged in as well.
Damn it!
Two against one?
However, once freed from the restraints of gravity,
the Golden-Haired Lion Mastiff's speed advantage quickly became apparent!
Whoosh!
Swish, swish, swish!
Boom!
Although the Titan Giant Ape possessed boundless strength,
it was ultimately a beat too slow in terms of speed.
His fists pounded a massive crater nearly a hundred meters deep into the ground.
Even the surrounding trees and bushes looked as though they had been scorched by fire.
Yet not a single lion hair was left within the attack's range.
Meanwhile, the Sky Azure Bull Python, moving in to fill the gap, only saw a flash of golden light before a sharp pain shot through his neck.
Crack!
"Damn little dog, you actually dared to claw me!"
As it turned out, the Golden-Haired Lion Mastiff had been darting about at high speed, slipping through every opening.
He had struck the dragon-serpent's vital spot with his claws.
Unfortunately, that spot was simply too tough.
Only three faint claw marks were left behind.
He had failed to break through its defense!
"Heh, you can come kill me, but I can't kill you in return? What kind of logic is that?"
Hearing the roars of the two giant beasts opposite him,
the Golden-Haired Lion Mastiff appeared atop a huge boulder three hundred meters away.
He looked at the two prey before him with a mocking gaze!
At this moment!
The fighting spirit of the Honey Badger within him blazed once more...
