Douluo: I have too many clones

Chapter 759 Pokémon: Golden Lion Mastiff
"boom--"

A loud crash shook the forest, sending leaves flying everywhere. A towering ancient tree, which would take several people to encircle, snapped in half, its massive canopy crashing to the ground and kicking up clouds of dust.

At the same time, a figure engulfed in crimson flames descended from the sky—a three-headed soul beast, each head grotesque and terrifying, spewing scorching sparks from its mouth, its body writhing in flames as if alive, radiating a suffocating heat.

Just as the ancient tree fell, a figure wielding a long sword was violently thrown back, his six spirit rings dimming as he crashed awkwardly onto the rocky ground.

"Hey! A three-headed Crimson Demon Hound with 50,000 years of cultivation? My luck is just too good!"

The Soul Emperor, clad in a one-word battle armor, struggled to his feet. Gazing at the relentlessly pursuing giant beast, he couldn't help but mutter curses under his breath.

He had only been teleported into the Beast Platform for a short time, and had only hunted down a dozen low-level soul beasts, when he ran into this top-level ferocious beast. He was truly struck by bad luck.

The Three-Headed Crimson Demon Hound is a powerful soul beast containing some true dragon blood, wielding power approaching the ultimate level of fire. Although not a super soul beast, its 50,000 years of cultivation has made its combat strength approach that of a Soul Douluo without battle armor.

Although this Soul Emperor had reached the sixth ring cultivation level, he was only equipped with a one-word battle armor, which could only amplify his strength to the Soul Saint level.

Faced with this canine spirit beast with its keen sense of smell and formidable combat power, he knew that his chances of escape were slim—canine spirit beasts were already incredibly good at tracking, not to mention that this Crimson Demon Mastiff clearly considered him as its prey.

"Just a mere beast, die!" A resolute glint flashed in the Soul Emperor's eyes. After taking a deep breath, his sixth soul ring suddenly erupted with a blinding light.

In an instant, flames coiled around his body like dragons, surging wildly into the longsword in his hand. The blade instantly turned incandescent, and the surrounding air distorted due to the high temperature, rippling outwards.

"Roar--"

The three-headed Crimson Demon Hound showed no weakness, its three heads roaring simultaneously, its body engulfed in raging flames, the crimson flames surging like a tide, sparks flying from its mouth, creating a standoff with the Soul Emperor's attack.

"boom--"

The violent energy collision exploded like thunder, but the difference of 50,000 years of cultivation was now clearly revealed.

With its greater energy reserves, the three-headed Crimson Demon Hound easily overwhelmed the Soul Emperor's attack. The seemingly sharp flaming longsword was like paper in front of it, and was directly swallowed up by the flames around its body.

"Damn it!"

The Soul Emperor roared in resentment, watching helplessly as crimson flames surged in like a tidal wave, instantly engulfing him. Even more deadly, one of the three Crimson Demon Hounds opened its blood-red maw, its gleaming white fangs aimed straight for his head.

"Om-"

At the critical moment, the entire space suddenly trembled slightly, and a pale green halo, carrying crystalline light spots, descended from the sky, precisely enveloping the Soul Emperor.

Wherever the halo reached, the Crimson Demon Hound's flames were blocked as if they had encountered an invisible barrier. In the next instant, the Soul Emperor's figure vanished without a trace in the halo, as if he had never appeared.

"Is this the protection mechanism of the Ten Thousand Beasts Platform?"

Nan Fusheng, who was not far away, took in all of this. He silently sensed the fluctuation of the light just now, his eyes sharp. "That's right. Without a protection mechanism, even if it can promote the evolution of soul spirits, the number of soul masters who dare to come here will be greatly reduced."

The green light contained a peculiar power of law, which not only repelled the Crimson Demon Hound's attack but also forcibly activated the teleportation mechanism.

However, this mechanism also has obvious drawbacks: although it can save the Soul Emperor's life, it cannot heal his injuries; if the attack speed is fast enough, it can kill him instantly, and the laws of space may not have time to react.

This means that the Ten Thousand Beasts Platform is not absolutely safe; as long as one is strong enough, killing is still possible.

"Roar--"

After the three-headed Crimson Demon Hound killed the Soul Emperor, one of its heads twitched its nose slightly, quickly turned its gaze toward Nan Fusheng's location, its eyes flashing with ferocity, and let out a low roar.

"Have you been discovered?"

Canine spirit beasts have a highly developed sense of smell. Even though Nan Fusheng was only observing from 800 meters away, the spirit beast quickly detected his presence.

Humans deserve to die!
The three-headed red mastiff stomped its limbs on the ground and charged towards Nan Fusheng's location like a streak of red lightning.

It clearly harbors a deep hostility towards humans, and upon merely smelling Nan Fusheng's scent, it immediately regards him as an enemy.

As the three-headed Crimson Demon Mastiff approached like a crimson lightning bolt, the surrounding air seemed to be ignited by the extreme fire surging within its body. The scorching air distorted the view, and even the branches and leaves exuded a scorching aura.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

The heavy impacts continued incessantly as the seven-meter-long behemoth brutally smashed through several ancient trees that were as thick as two people could hug. Its three ferocious heads locked onto Nan Fusheng like searchlights. Its body was lowered, its muscles bulging, and its fierce aura, poised to strike, was almost tangible.

"Roar--"

A deep, resounding roar suddenly erupted, not from the Crimson Demon Hound in front of them, but from the shadows behind Nan Fusheng.

Then, the golden-haired lion-mastiff that he had previously soothed with his bloodline power slowly walked out. Its bright golden mane gleamed with a metallic sheen in the dim light, and its eyes were fierce as blades, piercing straight into the soul of the three-headed red demon mastiff.

"Woo——"

The once menacing Crimson Demon Hound suddenly let out a low growl of fear, all its attacking movements came to an abrupt halt, and its massive body even subconsciously shrank back.

As the progenitor of all canine spirit beasts, the golden-haired lion mastiff possesses an innate kingly aura flowing in its bloodline.

Although the three-headed red demon mastiff possesses some true dragon blood, it is still essentially a canine. Faced with absolute bloodline suppression, its biological instinct of awe instantly overwhelms its ferocity.

The three heads simultaneously emitted fawning whimpers, their bodies retreating continuously, clearly unwilling to clash with this "ancestor".

However, it severely underestimated the golden lion-mastiff's ingrained ferocity—this kind of spirit beast is naturally warlike and bloodthirsty. Even if Nan Fusheng temporarily eliminated its hostility, its violent instincts would still be instantly ignited when facing an unfamiliar spirit beast.

"Roar!"

The golden-haired lion suddenly leaped over Nan Fusheng's head and landed in front of the three-headed red demon mastiff like a golden lightning bolt. A golden-edged halo filled with black runes suddenly appeared under its feet—the Overlord Domain was activated!
In an instant, its aura surged, its attack and defense attributes increased exponentially, all senses of pain were forcibly blocked, and the efficiency of its internal energy circulation increased by more than 50%. The terrifying sense of oppression caused the surrounding air to hum uncontrollably.

The three-headed red demon mastiff, possessing near-human intelligence, immediately realized that retreat was no longer an option, and its survival instincts fully unleashed its wild nature.

Six fiery eyes stared intently at the golden-haired lion-mastiff. The lion-mastiff, which had been retreating, abruptly stopped, letting out a frenzied roar: "Awooo—"

The raging fire element gathered wildly in the mouths of the three heads, and the next second, three fireballs, each the size of a millstone and carrying an aura of destruction, burst forth, trailing long crimson tails, heading straight for the face of the golden-haired lion-mastiff.

"Roar—" Faced with this fiery attack that could melt steel, the golden-haired lion mastiff let out a roar that shook the heavens.

A black phantom, identical to its head, suddenly erupted from its massive body. The phantom was several times larger than the main body, and accompanied by a roar, the terrifying sound waves formed visible ripples that spread outwards with overwhelming force.

This is not a mental attack, but a high-level application of the "Lion Roar" technique used to dominate the domain.

Wherever the high-frequency sound waves passed, trees, rocks, and even the air within a radius of 100 meters instantly turned to dust.

Space distorted and trembled amidst the intense sound waves. Before the three menacing fireballs even got close, they were forcibly shattered and extinguished in mid-air, turning into sparks that vanished without a trace.

Before the sonic attack had even subsided, the golden-haired lion-mastiff leaped up like an arrow, its forepaws, covered in golden fur, gleaming with a chilling light, and slammed down with the force to split mountains and shatter rocks.

The three-headed red mastiff was shaken by the "Lion Mastiff Roar," causing its blood to surge and its body to stiffen for a moment. This brief delay determined the outcome of the battle.

"boom--"

Amidst a deafening roar, the golden-haired lion mastiff's claws struck the red demon mastiff's body with pinpoint accuracy. The terrifying power erupted like a tsunami, causing the earth to tremble violently around the point of impact. Countless trees were uprooted by the violent energy, creating a devastated vacuum zone.

A massive figure flew backward like a kite with a broken string, crashing through dozens of ancient trees before finally coming to a stop.

Amidst the billowing smoke and dust, the golden-haired lion mastiff stood proudly, its gleaming golden fur shining in the sunlight, like a war god forged from gold.

The three-headed Crimson Demon Hound in the distance was in a terrible state: the heads on both sides were mangled and exposed, while the head in the middle was barely breathing.

From the start of the battle to its end, the entire process took less than thirty seconds. The top-tier soul beast with 50,000 years of cultivation was as fragile as an ant in front of the golden-haired lion-mastiff.

This is the absolute power of a super soul beast, and also the terrifying dominance of the Golden Lion Mastiff as the progenitor of canine soul beasts.

Even among the powerful super soul beasts, it stands firmly at the top of the pyramid. If it weren't for its extreme habit of fighting to the death once war breaks out, which brought its race to the brink of extinction, this soul beast, which possesses both terrifying combat power and the pressure of its bloodline, would be able to dominate any plane.

Nan Fusheng stood there, watching the devastating battle unfold before him, gaining a deeper understanding of the golden-haired lion mastiff's formidable strength.

The golden lion mastiff strode forward, looked at the dying three-headed red demon mastiff, raised one of its front paws, and slammed it heavily onto the other's remaining head.

The relentless nature of the Golden Lion Mastiff is no joke. Once it's targeted, it will never stop attacking unless it completely kills its opponent or is killed by its opponent.

"boom!"

As the three-headed Crimson Demon Mastiff breathed its last, a deep black spirit ring emerged from its corpse.

A 50,000-year-old three-headed Crimson Demon Mastiff spirit ring is an extremely rare and highly sought-after item for most spirit masters. Unfortunately, this spirit ring is destined to be abandoned here.

After killing its opponent, the golden mastiff's body underwent significant changes.

Its body, which had swelled to several meters due to the use of "Dominating Domain", began to shrink rapidly. Its golden fur was no longer as flamboyant as before, but instead lay softly on its body surface, eventually settling into a normal size of about four meters.

What's even more astonishing is the transformation of its face—the hideous "ghost face" covered in black lines recedes like the tide, replaced by a chubby, round face with soft fur, smooth lines, and even a touch of endearing clumsiness.

Only the two black dots gathered on his eyelids faintly retained traces of his battle form.

"Has it reached its limit?"

Nan Fusheng wasn't surprised by the other person's appearance.

Having raised a golden lion mastiff for 100,000 years, he naturally understood that this posture was not a sign of weakness, but rather a manifestation of the soul beast's energy depletion after an extreme battle. When the ghost face form could no longer be maintained, the golden lion mastiff would revert to its most primitive "juvenile state" to reduce energy consumption.

"A three-headed Crimson Demon Mastiff with 50,000 years of cultivation would never tire it. It seems it had been fighting for a long time before it met me."

"Ow."

As if confirming Nan Fusheng's conjecture, the golden lion mastiff, which had reverted to its "clumsy and cute" form, let out a few low howls, then bent down and began to tear at the flesh of the three red demon mastiffs.

The black dots on its eyelids gradually spread as it ate, like ink drops into water, and seemed to be covering its entire face again.

This is the unique growth pattern of the Golden Lion Mastiff: it consumes energy in battle, devours its opponents to replenish its energy, and then throws itself back into the fight.

With their extremely keen sense of smell, these canine spirit beasts can lock onto their prey and then relentlessly pursue it, making it difficult for their opponents to escape.

Theoretically speaking, if a golden mastiff can continuously hunt down its prey, it will reach a terrifying level along this brutal path of evolution.

However, in reality, such a thing has never existed.

Among those of equal cultivation level, the only one who could possibly overpower such a soul beast is probably the Beast God Di Tian, ​​after all, the Dragon God Claw is no joke.

As for Xiong Jun? He's still a bit lacking.

Alternatively, only the legendary Dark Demon Evil God Tiger could defeat the Golden-haired Lion Mastiff at the same cultivation level.

Incidentally, Nan Fusheng also attempted to cultivate the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger.

At that time, he had just reached Sequence Four. The subject of the experiment was a subspecies of the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger: the Scorpion Tiger, in order to see if the Scorpion Tiger's bloodline could be reverted to its ancestral form, thus recreating this super soul beast.

Unfortunately, it failed in the end. Although the bloodline of the Scorpion Tiger was strengthened to the extreme, it seemed to be missing something. Although the Scorpion Tiger was given a certain time attribute, it failed to develop the innate soul skill "Life and Death Arena".

"Ow—"

When the last bit of the Crimson Demon Mastiff's flesh and blood was completely devoured, the black lines on the Golden Lion Mastiff's eyelids covered most of its face, and the hideous ghost face reappeared.

"Let's go."

Nan Fusheng waved to it. As it stands, the golden-haired lion-mastiff is quite friendly towards him, so he doesn't mind bringing this Pokémon along.

"Ow~"

The golden-haired mastiff let out a low growl and quickly chased after Nan Fusheng.
