Chapter 1471: Lan Fozi’s Crisis

Lan Fozi continued forward as he admired the view. However, he suddenly stopped in his tracks as a sense of danger appeared out of the blue in his mind.

Lan Fozi leaned back without hesitation and tapped the ground with the tips of his toes. His entire person flew backward like an arrow.

At this very moment, the colossal vine that was closest to him suddenly fell towards him like a giant hammer. The huge bud came straight at him.

The giant bud opened up during its fall and an extremely powerful suction force came from the blooming flower.

Lan Fozi had goosebumps all over his body when he saw this giant blossoming flower. When the flower opened up its petals, there were rings upon rings of tightly-packed sharp teeth on the inside. It seemed like a meat grinder and was filled with fierceness. The vine was growing rapidly as the bud pounced towards him with blinding speed. It was clear to him that being bitten by this giant bud would not be a comfortable affair.

In this time of crisis, Lon Fozi turned in midair. Rings of blue-colored radiance shot out from his body which exerted a strong repelling force. The huge was immediately sent flying by the repulsive force of the blue radiance flower when it tried to cover him.

However, Lan Fozi’s nostrils were suddenly filled with a thick sweet smell. He immediately felt his consciousness slipping away.

‘This is bad! There’s poison!’

At the same time as he felt frightened, he was filled with fury. His eyes instantly turned blue and the blue radiance which swirled around his body instantly turned into sharp blades that shot outward.

The sharp blades quickly enlarged with the wind. In what seemed like an instant, they formed sickles of more than three meters in length. However, the sweet aroma also intensified.

Lan Fozi had instantly held his breath when he sensed that something was wrong. However, he quickly noticed that it was not enough for him to just hold his breath. The sweet smell could enter his body through the pores on his skin too.

Fortunately, he had a spiritual cultivation base of the Spirit Domain realm. He controlled the pores on his body with great precision so that they were closed off as well. That was how he finally kept the sweet aroma at bay. However, the sweet aroma that had already entered his body still made him feel groggy and pulses of euphoria came from his limbs and bones. He felt comfort that could not be put in words.

The only thought he had at this moment was to lie down and have a good sleep. As he felt the stimulation from the sweet aroma, more and more giant flowers were swarming toward him like bees in his field of vision. The bright red flowers filled his sight.

He suddenly bit down on his tongue. Lan Fozi endured the grogginess with difficulty and the hallucinations he started having from his euphoric state as he turned around and ran. Rings of aqua-colored radiance swiftly erupted from his body. They formed something that resembled a tornado and protected him from the flowers.

Nightmare Piranha Flower! It was one of the most terrifying killers of the Great Star Dou Forest. Soul beasts or humans would often be oblivious to any sense of danger before it. They would fall into a deep sleep under the effects of its nightmare poison as they slept soundly and would become nutrients for the Nightmare Piranha Flower.

The most terrifying thing about the Nightmare Piranha Flower was not in its ability to devour, but the nightmare poison it possessed.

The nightmare poison was once listed as the ten most peculiar poisons in the world by Tang Sect. Other than its aroma, it had no shape or form and had great penetrative strength. It did not even need to be breathed in as it could enter the target’s body through the target’s pores. Its effects were also domineering. It would erupt in a short time and quickly paralyze the human mind. It could even paralyze a person’s sea of spirit and render the person powerless to fight back. In the end, the person would be devoured by the Nightmare Piranha Flower.

…

Tang Wulin did a fish dive and rolled along the ground for dozens of meters before he bounced back onto his feet. He had instantly charged forward with swift movements as his expression turned grim.

This was the seventh wave of soul beasts he had encountered today. The previous waves had been easily dismissed by him. He would never actually harm the soul beasts anyway. Those that attacked him, he would just beat them back. He was perfectly happy if there were soul beasts that ignored him.

It was unclear if it was the effects of this Ten Thousand Beast Platform, but the soul beasts here were filled with the urge to attack. For example, the soul beast before him at this moment was the most powerful one Tang Wulin had encountered since he entered the Ten Thousand Beast Platform.

Its body was around four meters long. It was not exceptionally large, but its body shape looked aptly proportionate. Every muscle on its body seemed to be filled with explosive strength. Its head was massive like a lion, but it had a fiend’s face. Starkly in contrast with its brilliant golden coat of fur, its face was black and its contours were those of a demon’s appearance.

It even had incredible strength which was not inferior to Tang Wulin’s. Beneath its feet, there was a ring of golden light which circled a black rune. It was an impressive-looking Domain.

A Golden Fur Lion Mastiff. This was also a soul beast that went extinct long ago. It was a being at the rank of Beast King.

The Golden Fur Lion Mastiff was the legendary predecessor of all canine soul beasts. There were even legends that claimed that it was the predecessor of all lion-type soul beasts. It had incredible strength and was born with a Domain light ring, Domination. It was known for its wild lust for battle. Once it was in its battle mode with its Domination Domain activated, its attacks and defenses would be strengthened greatly. Also, it would not feel any pain. All its abilities would be strengthened by at least fifty percent. Also, this soul beast’s characteristic was that it would not rest until it dies.

It was precisely because of this reason that the Golden Fur Lion Mastiff had enemies all over the world. It had a hard time surviving in the world of soul beasts and eventually submitted to the fate of extinction.

This was a lonesome yet powerful soul beast. Tang Wulin did not expect to bump into one here.

Judging from this Golden Fur Lion Mastiff’s body and the size of its Domain’s light ring, it should have been at the rank of a ten-thousand-year soul beast. Even so, Tang Wulin was starting to feel the pressure from it.

The moment they met, the Golden Fur Lion Mastiff pounced and the terrifying force sent Tang Wulin flying from the impact. Although he was not injured, he was startled with shock.

“Roar!” A deep howl sounded from the Golden Fur Lion Mastiff’s mouth. Its amber eyes were fixed on Tang Wulin. Its golden fur stood on end as it slowly made its way towards Tang Wulin and put one paw after another.

The golden-black light ring under its feet slowly floated. There was a faint specter of what seemed like a ghost diffusing into its body. Its Domination Domain was activated!

With every step it took, the Golden Fur Lion Mastiff’s body would slightly enlarge. With every step forward, it grew larger. It was already the size of a small hill in the blink of an eye. Its fur shone with a metallic luster as it bared its densely-packed fangs.

“Rawr!” Another deafening roar erupted. This time, a black shadow that was an exact copy of its head shot out from its body. The black shadow was much larger than its actual body. With its roar, terrifying sound waves turned everything within a hundred meters into powder.

This was not a spiritual attack, it was the vibration from its shockwave. Lion Mastiff Roar! This was one of the Domination Domain’s applications.

Tang Wulin felt the space around him vibrate at a high frequency with the beast’s furious roar. His especially fragile seven orifices had felt the worst of the impact. The intense shockwave shattered the space. There even seemed to be a momentary void around him.

‘What a powerful beast! This one’s only a ten-thousand year Lion Mastiff’s Roar! If it were at the hundred-thousand years rank, how powerful will this Golden Fur Lion Mastiff be?’

Tang Wulin remembered from his lessons in Shrek Academy that there was a mastiff among the Ten Great Beasts. However, it was not a Golden Fur Lion Mastiff, they were already extinct. He believed that if there was a hundred-thousand year Golden Fur Lion Mastiff, it would have been listed among the Ten Great Beasts instead of that mastiff.

Tang Wulin’s eyes flickered with electric light faint as purplish lightning lingered on his skin. He unleashed a dragon’s roar towards the Golden Fur Lion Mastiff.

“Rawr!” A dragon’s head covered in bluish electric light materialized out of thin air. The sound wave was not as powerful as the Lion Mastiff Roar, but it released a chilly air that shot towards the heavens. He launched his counterattack against the Golden Fur Lion Mastiff while he protecting himself.
