Tang Wulin could only look on in a slack-jawed manner. This wasn"t how Golden Lion Mastiffs were supposed to act! He didn"t know exactly what had happened to this Golden Lion Mastiff, but the simplest conclusion was that it had been forced into retreat by him.
Weren"t Golden Lion Mastiffs supposed to be fearless and ruthless? Weren"t they supposed to only engage in battles to the death? Why was this one fleeing the scene?
On top of that, Tang Wulin noticed that as the Golden Lion Mastiff was running away, its body was still continuing to shrink, and its aura was also becoming weaker and weaker.
He cast his gaze down below to find that the entire area within a diameter of a kilometer had been severely ravaged. If it weren"t for this, he would struggle to believe that the ma.s.sive, adorable dog running away with its tail between its legs could be so dangerous.
However, this battle instilled him with even greater confidence in his own Lightning G.o.d Whip as a truly formidable individual attack. Not only was it enormously powerful, it was also able to forcibly immobilize its target through electric shock.
In Tang Wulin"s mind, he was already beginning to consider how this soul skill could work with his other abilities. If he could utilize this soul skill well, it would undoubtedly be a brilliant a.s.set to him.
After becoming a t.i.tled Douluo, it seemed that the entire world had become different. All t.i.tled Douluos could be referred to as such after attaining their ninth soul rings, but there were ma.s.sive disparities between the powers of t.i.tled Douluos.
To put it in simpler terms, without his suit of four-word battle armor, his uncle-teacher would be no match for him. A Soul Master"s power was a culmination of multiple factors, of which one"s array of soul skills was definitely the most important. Of course, with the invention of battle armor, the gap between Soul Masters had been whittled down to a certain extent, but this was only a relative concept.
After reviewing that previous battle, Tang Wulin had become a lot more cautious and alert. He couldn"t afford to not take an opponent seriously just because he thought that they were weak. If the Golden Lion Mastiff"s attacks had been slightly more ferocious or if he didn"t possess his Lightning G.o.d Whip soul skill, it was very likely that he wouldn"t even have gotten a chance to retaliate.
Currently, he possessed a large array of abilities, including over 10 Bluesilver Emperor soul skills, six Golden Dragon King soul skills, a spiritual domain, the Nine Arts of the Golden Dragon, blood soul fusion skills, etc.
He had already consolidated all of these skills and abilities, but in an actual battle, he often found himself unable to make use of all of them, and at times, he didn"t have enough time to unleash the most suitable skills. Was there a way for him to simplify things and truly integrate all of the abilities that he possessed? In other words, would he be able to completely replace all of his current abilities with his blood soul fusion skills?
This clearly wasn"t going to be a simple task. It had already been very difficult for him to invent his blood soul fusion skills; it was definitely going to be even more difficult to integrate more abilities on top of that.
It seemed that this was something that he would have to consider carefully, and it was a process that definitely couldn"t be rushed.
Thus, Tang Wulin descended onto the ground, and his soul core and dragon core quickly replenished the energy he had lost.
Right at this moment, he suddenly sensed a burst of strange energy fluctuations erupted in the distance.
Was this... spiritual power?
The spiritual fluctuations were radiating outward in a ring formation, which meant that it was being directly released from a certain point.
The spiritual power clearly couldn"t belong to any soul beast, so could it be that a Soul Master was releasing their spiritual power? Was this the power of a spiritual domain?
With that in mind, Tang Wulin immediately began to rush toward the direction that the spiritual fluctuations were coming from.
The more he advanced toward the source of the spiritual fluctuations, the more surprised he became as he could sense that this spiritual power was very powerful, and it seemed to be capable of devouring all things.
It was as if there were a vortex that contained a black hole in the center of this spiritual power, and it was devouring all spiritual power within the general vicinity.
Tang Wulin felt as if his spiritual power were struggling to break out of his body. Thankfully, he was also at the Spirit Domain realm, so he was able to keep his own spiritual power in check.
Soon, a vast expanse of darkness appeared up ahead. Actually, instead of pure darkness, it was an extremely deep blue color, and at the core of this vast expanse of deep blue was the black hole that he had detected earlier. The closer he got to the black hole, the more his spiritual power was affected, and he had no choice but to stop.
This spiritual domain was truly formidable!
The surrounding plants didn"t appear to be any different, but Tang Wulin couldn"t sense any vitality from them. The black hole had devoured the feeble spiritual fluctuations being released by their life force, thereby completely throwing their life force energy into disarray. As such, all of these plants were destined to die.
Tang Wulin then caught sight of a person who was standing right at the center of the black hole.
His head was tilted up toward the heavens, and his eyes were completely black. The dark blue light was being released by none other than his eyes. There were around a dozen huge soul beasts around him, all of which were lying completely still on the ground. It was clear that their minds and souls had been shattered, as evidenced by the fact that they were still giving off life force fluctuations, but all of their signs of life had disappeared.
The man was Lan Fuozi! He was the one releasing the all-devouring spiritual power!
Having learned from his battle against the Golden Lion Mastiff, Tang Wulin had become more cautious and didn"t immediately approach Lan Fuozi. If his spiritual domain were to exceed his tolerance range, then he would also be destroyed like those soul beasts.
Lan Fuozi"s spiritual domain was truly special; it was like a black hole that destroyed everything around it. Could his body really handle such a destructive spiritual domain?
Right as this thought crossed Tang Wulin"s mind, Lan Fuozi abruptly shuddered before throwing up a mouthful of blood, and the blackness in his eyes faded as he slumped down onto the ground. The terrifying black hole also instantly vanished, but there was no longer any vitality within a radius of several hundred meters.
Tang Wulin made his way over to Lan Fuozi to discover that his aura had already become very feeble, but Tang Wulin could sense a hint of insanity within it.
This feeling was rather similar to when he had undergone that crimson dragon transformation, but it was also slightly different. Did this mean that Lan Fuozi had lost control earlier?
He had only just met Lan Fuozi not long ago, so he certainly didn"t consider them to be friends, but he wasn"t going to leave him, either.
He pressed a hand onto Lan Fuozi"s chest to a.s.sess his bodily condition, and his heart immediately jolted upon discovering that the meridians within Lan Fuozi"s body were in a far severer state of chaos then he had antic.i.p.ated.
To put it in simpler terms, Lan Fuozi"s soul power was circulating in a way that almost defied logic, but it somehow managed to continue circulating.
At the same time, Tang Wulin could sense that Lan Fuozi"s life force energy was extremely abundant. Even though his spiritual power was slightly drained, his body was quickly repairing itself, and his spiritual power was also rapidly being replenished.
In his current state, his bodily condition was no longer the main concern. Instead, it was the soul beasts that could appear at any time to prey on him.
He was already unconscious, and this place was rife with soul beasts, so why hadn"t he been teleported out of the Myriad Beast Plane yet? Could it be due to the fact that he had just arrived on the scene? If that were the case, then that further served to prove that the Myriad Beast Plane was constantly monitoring everyone.
With that in mind, Tang Wulin sat down beside Lan Fuozi with his legs crossed. The objective of this examination was to survive for the longest time in this plane anyway, so he was in no hurry to leave. At the same time, he was very intrigued by all of the extinct soul beasts in this plane, and battling them benefitted him immensely.
Perhaps it was due to the fact that all of the nearby soul beasts in the area had been scared away by Lan Fuozi"s earlier outburst of soul power, but no other soul beasts appeared during the next hour.
During this time, Tang Wulin had inspected the soul beasts that had been slain by Lan Fuozi, and there were a few that he couldn"t even name, while those that he did recognize were all very powerful.
After a while, he was beginning to grow rather concerned and perplexed. Judging from Lan Fuozi"s aura, he should"ve been awake already! What was going on?
