"Lion Dog, you sure talk big!"
Hearing the Golden-Haired Lion Mastiff's unruly provocation,
Ma Hongjun rubbed his nose.
There was a hint of excitement in his eyes.
"There are restraints everywhere in the Divine Realm. Douluo Continent is much freer!"
"I haven't fought for ten thousand years. People have probably forgotten about our First-Generation Shrek!"
Well, damn!
It seemed Ma Hongjun had no intention of having a proper chat.
His time descending to the lower realm was limited.
He was also thinking of finishing this quickly so he could visit his descendants in the lower realm.
But was the Golden-Haired Lion Mastiff really so easy to provoke?
"The Sky Azure Bull Python and Titan Giant Ape said the same thing before. Look at them now!"
He extended a claw and pointed to the side.
The Golden-Haired Lion Mastiff had his own pride as well.
Earlier, he had fought two against one.
And hadn't he still won?
Ma Hongjun was stronger than those two, of course.
But the suppression of a level 100 powerhouse was no joke!
"Interesting little Lion Dog. Don't worry! After I kill you, I'll help revive them!"
This Phoenix God ought to be called the God of Bragging!
Whoosh!
Without wasting words on him,
the Golden-Haired Lion Mastiff's figure swiftly vanished.
He transformed into a streak of golden light once more and charged toward his opponent!
Against an expert like this, he had to seize the initiative!
Bang!
But Ma Hongjun was not so easy to kill.
He merely swept the two wings behind him forward slightly.
A protective barrier immediately formed around his body!
Whether it was claw strikes or bites,
the Golden-Haired Lion Mastiff was actually unable to break through his defense!
"Oh? You really are different from those two!"
"However!"
The moment the Golden-Haired Lion Mastiff's words fell,
a patch of "dark clouds" covered the sky above Ma Hongjun's head!
No!
They were not dark clouds.
They were several of the Golden-Haired Lion Mastiff's Wraith Servants.
Even Da Ming and Er Ming, who had appeared terrified just moments ago,
now charged forward without hesitation.
Using their enormous bodies, they blocked Ma Hongjun's paths of movement through the air above.
"You damned little beast!"
"Die!"
Divine Phoenix Fireline!
This was no ordinary soul skill!
It was a true divine skill.
Everything before their eyes
instantly turned into a sea of fire.
Aside from Da Ming and Er Ming, as well as Xuan Zi, who had barely managed to retreat,
all the other darkness vanished without a trace.
The first to bear the brunt was the corrupted Dark-Gold Dreadclaw Bear.
He was directly purified and laid to rest.
Da Ming and Er Ming, who were flung away, were not burned to ash.
But they had also lost their ability to move.
But what did that matter?
All the Golden-Haired Lion Mastiff needed was that fleeting opportunity!
Under the erosion of that black aura,
Ma Hongjun's protective barrier had clearly become much thinner!
"Watch this move!"
Golden-Haired Heaven-Rending Claw!
That had originally been the Dark-Gold Dreadclaw Bear's ultimate move.
But now it had fused with the Golden-Haired Lion Mastiff's source aura.
From afar, it looked almost identical to Di Tian's Dragon God's Claw.
It could rapidly increase this terrifying Ferocious Beast's physical attack power eightfold!
Together with Ma Hongjun's weakened defense!
As one side rose while the other fell!
That red energy barrier felt like a layer of jelly.
It was swiftly torn apart by those golden claws.
Slash!
Although the Phoenix God retreated in time,
his face was still torn open by the fierce gust of force!
He had been wounded!
"Ohoho, let me taste this divine blood!"
Seeing several drops of red liquid hanging from his claws,
the Golden-Haired Lion Mastiff stuffed them into his mouth without a second thought!
Whoosh!
Sizzle, sizzle!
The next moment, a berserk fire element
nearly blew his mouth apart.
Yet even as he spewed black smoke, he cried out in delight!
"Not bad, not bad!"
"Your phoenix fire can help temper the Dragon Flame within me!"
This was not merely bravado.
Phoenix fire was the world's finest offensive flame.
The fire within the Golden-Haired Lion Mastiff's body originated from Zi JI, the Hell Demon Dragon he had encountered before.
The fusion of dragon fire and phoenix fire
would further enhance his abilities in every aspect!
This was practically a supreme tonic!
"You damned..."
He forcefully wiped his cheek.
Although that wound vanished in a flash,
it felt as though salt had been rubbed into Ma Hongjun's heart!
A dignified Peak Second-Level God
had actually been driven into such a state by a Soul Beast!
Unbearable!
Unforgivable!
"The game ends here. Behold my Phoenix Armor!"
Who knew whether Ma Hongjun had watched the Armor Hero series.
The armor he created from phoenix fire at that moment looked very similar to something from a certain tokusatsu show.
Who knew how effective it was.
But it definitely looked cool!
Even the Golden-Haired Lion Mastiff sucked in a cold breath.
"Looks like slaying a god won't be so easy!"
But he did not know
that he had already done exceptionally well.
So well that even the God of Destruction, who had been watching from the upper realm all along, gave him a second look.
"What's going on?"
"That troublesome Phoenix God can't even defeat this little monster?"
"Was I too indulgent toward him back then?"
In the God of Destruction's impression, the Golden-Haired Lion Mastiff was at most on the same level as Di Tian.
No matter how strong a Soul Beast of that level was,
it could not possibly reach the realm of a Divine Official.
But judging from his overall abilities now,
this Golden-Haired Lion Mastiff's overall combat power was already no weaker than that of a level 105 Divine Official.
Yet his true age had not even reached one million years.
That was troublesome.
If such a terrifying Ferocious Beast appeared on Douluo Continent,
it would surely shatter the balance of the entire world.
It might even truly threaten the Divine Realm!
"Lord God of Destruction, this is Tang San!"
"Can we talk privately?"
The next moment, Sea God Tang San sent a private chat invitation.
Tang San was no fool.
By now, he was basically certain that someone had deliberately allowed the Golden-Haired Lion Mastiff to grow to this extent.
That person was none other than the God of Destruction, who had always disliked their Shrek Seven Monsters.
This was easy enough to understand.
He was a native of the Divine Realm.
And an elder-level figure at that.
Then, out of nowhere, you juniors came and took his territory, even stealing his prestige.
Of course he would find a way to retaliate.
But the God of Destruction was an established deity within the Divine Realm Council.
He could not openly oppose Tang San.
So he had to support a puppet.
But upon seeing the Golden-Haired Lion Mastiff before him, if the God of Destruction was not stupid,
he should have realized it by now.
He had raised a tiger only to invite disaster.
And that tiger had already grown mature!
Faced with Tang San's invitation,
the God of Destruction still cared about appearances.
He did not agree immediately.
"Sea God Tang San, what is there for us to discuss?"
But he immediately issued an order to his seven trusted subordinates.
"Find a way to help that Phoenix. It would be best if you can directly destroy that little Lion Dog!"
"It's fine if you beat him half to death!"
"That brat is too crazy. I'm afraid he'll bite us masters in the future!"
Fine, then.
Although the God of Destruction cared greatly about face,
he was not stupid.
He had finally thought of suppressing the Golden-Haired Lion Mastiff.
But could the Golden-Haired Lion Mastiff truly be restrained with a single dog leash at this point?
After being rejected by the God of Destruction.
Tang San did not sit idle either.
He started calling in reinforcements again.
"Boss Dai, as the God of War, could you descend to the lower realm and help Fatty?"
"I'm afraid his Phoenix God might end up with broken wings..."
