Douluo Continent: Martial Soul Thunder Dragon, A Century of Glory

Chapter 170 Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear

Dugu Bo stopped, his brow furrowed. "What kind of soul beast is this? Its roar is so fierce, it shakes the very core of my being!"

His voice carried a hint of doubt and seriousness.

Yun Yibai listened intently as well. "Judging from its voice, it is indeed unlike the roar of ordinary dragon-type soul beasts. This roar contains an indescribable ferocity and wildness."

Before the words were even finished, a surging, powerful aura swept over them like a tidal wave. The hems of their clothes and their blue hair danced wildly in the wind, as if even the air itself had become heavy and oppressive at that moment.

Both Dugu Bo and Yun Yibai could sense that the source of the sound was still some distance away from them.

Dugu Bo and Yun Yibai had only been in the central and core areas of the Star Dou Great Forest for a short time when they heard such a roar.

They exchanged a glance and immediately flew in that direction. This kind of soul beast, with its ferocious sound and power alone, was a terrifying soul beast that was no less powerful than a dragon, even if it wasn't a real dragon.

On the other side, at the junction of the core area and the central mixed area of ​​the Star Dou Great Forest, there is a bear-like soul beast that is over ten meters tall and emits a dark golden light.

Confronting it was a lithe dragon-like spirit beast, its body covered in golden flame-colored scales, its eyes gleaming with intelligence. Its size was comparable to that of the giant bear.

When Dugu Bo and Yun Yibai rushed to the scene, they saw two enormous creatures locked in a fierce battle, dust flying everywhere, and the surrounding trees being tossed about by their powerful impact. The air was thick with tension and danger.

"Golden Flame Dragon!!" Dugu Bo recognized the enormous figure wreathed in blazing flames at a glance. His voice was filled with shock and disbelief. "I never expected to encounter such a dragon-type soul beast with such a rich bloodline here. Kid, you've struck gold!"

The golden fire dragon's body was as agile and powerful as a giant dragon, covered in golden scales, each scale seemingly containing boundless fire power. Its eyes were like burning fireballs, flashing with fierce light, and each attack was accompanied by raging flames, baking the surrounding air to an unbearable heat.

"And judging from the appearance of this soul beast, it's at least 60,000 years old," Dugu Bo added.

However, compared to the dragon-type soul beast, Yun Yibai's focus was on the bear-type soul beast.

When Yun Yibai saw the giant bear soul beast, he was stunned for a moment. Then, a hint of undisguised fervor flashed in his eyes, an instinctive reaction of thirst for something.

It was a gigantic bear covered in dark golden fur, easily over ten meters tall, resembling a moving mountain and exuding a powerful sense of oppression. Its eyes were as deep as an abyss, devoid of any emotion, only a mixture of indifference and cruelty that sent chills down one's spine. Its entire body was covered in thick, dense dark golden fur, each hair shimmering with a metallic luster, as if capable of withstanding any attack in the world.

The giant bear's shoulders were broad and imposing, as solid as a city wall, giving it an aura of unshakeable strength. Its arms were exceptionally thick, with bulging muscles, as if forged from steel, brimming with explosive power. At the ends of its two massive arms were incomparably sharp, dark golden claws, sharp as knives, incredibly razor-sharp, each claw easily exceeding a meter in length, seemingly capable of easily tearing apart any obstacle in its path.

When those thick arms were outstretched, the sharp claws merely followed its body as they sliced ​​through the air, producing a slight hissing sound, as if the air itself were being torn apart, sending chills down one's spine. A heavy, pungent smell of blood seemed to permeate the air, foreshadowing the terrifying power of this giant bear-like spirit beast.

"Hmm? You know that bear-like spirit beast?" Dugu Bo keenly noticed the strangeness in Yun Yibai's eyes and saw the giant bear image projected in his gaze, so he couldn't help but ask.

Yun Yibai took a deep breath, trying to calm his excitement, and slowly said, "Yes! If I'm not mistaken, this giant bear soul beast should be the legendary Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear!!"

Yun Yibai, the "Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear," explained to Dugu Bo that he had obtained the relevant information from an ancient book in his clan.

After Yun Yibai finished explaining, he thought to himself, "To actually encounter the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear at this time is truly a great stroke of luck! Even ten thousand years later, the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear will still be a rare soul beast."

"If I'm not mistaken, the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bears should all be hidden away by that ferocious beast, the Bear King, during this period. After all, the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear clan is small, and as their leader, the Bear King naturally has to do everything in its power to protect them. It is also busy improving its strength and has no time to spare for anything else."

"Later, after the giant, incredibly resilient worm had been almost completely drained, the ferocious beasts that had survived the Heavenly Tribulation for over 100,000 years began to gradually become active again. With the fusion of the Sun and Moon Continent, the concept and ranking of the 'Ten Great Ferocious Beasts' only emerged 10,000 years later. At the same time, the control over them was gradually relaxed, and the number of Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bears began to increase to some extent."

"This dark gold dinosaur must have been sleeping for too long and was hungry, which is why it came out to hunt for food."

"It came to me without any effort!"

The atmosphere between the two spirit beasts was extremely tense, as if the surrounding air itself had solidified under their oppressive aura. The Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear roared and swung its claws fiercely, creating a gust of wind as it pounced towards its opponent. The opponent, not to be outdone, dodged the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear's attack with a swift movement.

Just then, the Golden Flame Dragon suddenly let out a deafening roar, followed by a surge of raging flames that engulfed the entire battlefield. The Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear, caught off guard by this sudden fire attack, could only flail its claws, trying to extinguish the flames on its body.

The Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear's movements slowed slightly, giving the Golden Flame Flood Dragon an opportunity. Taking advantage of this, it darted away, skillfully dodging another fierce attack from the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear. Simultaneously, it lashed out with its tail, unleashing a torrent of blazing flame like an angry dragon emerging from the sea, hurtling straight towards the giant bear. The Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear roared, its massive body rolling on the ground, barely managing to evade the terrifying blow, but much of its fur was already singed by the flames.

"Roar!" As the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear crossed its arms, five gleaming gold and dark claw blades suddenly appeared on each of its paws. Then, two sharp blades, each over 20 meters long, shot towards the Golden Flame Dragon.
