Chapter 1469
Lan Fuozi continued onward as he appraised the vine with amazement in his eyes, but all of a sudden, he drew to an abrupt halt as a sense of peril welled up in his heart.
He immediately leaned back before propelling himself backward like a speeding arrow.
Right at this moment, the closest vine to him suddenly came crashing down like a giant hammer with the massive flower bud aimed directly at him.
During its descent, the huge flower bud instantly spread open, releasing a burst of powerful suction force.
Goosebumps appeared all over Lan Fuozi's entire body at the sight of the giant flower. After spreading itself open, rings of small sharp teeth were revealed within it, giving it the appearance of a meat grinder.
In this perilous situation, Lan Fuozi spun around in mid-air, and a series of blue halos erupted from his body, producing bursts of powerful repulsive force. The massive flower was instantly repelled by the blue halos, but right at this moment, a rich fragrant aroma wafted into Lan Fuozi's nostrils, and he was instantly struck by a sense of dizziness.
The flower had just released a burst of toxins!
A sense of shock and fury welled up in Lan Fuozi's heart as his eyes instantly turned blue, and the blue halos around him swept outward as rings of sharp blades.
The sharp blades swelled drastically in size, almost instantly transforming into huge scimitars over three meters in length that swept toward the huge flower with formidable rotational force.
The giant flower was instantly torn apart, and crimson juices flew in all directions, while the fragrant aroma in the air became even more pronounced.
Lan Fuozi had begun holding his own breath as soon as he realized that something was amiss, but he discovered that the fragrance was able to seep into his body through his pores!
Thankfully, with his Spirit Domain realm spiritual power, he was able to control his own body to close all of his pores and keep the fragrant aroma at bay. However, the toxins that had already entered his body was making him very drowsy, and at the same time, he was experiencing an indescribable sense of euphoria.
All he wanted to do was lie down and take a good nap, and even more giant flowers were converging toward him, taking up his entire field of vision.
He immediately bit down onto the tip of his own tongue, using the pain to shake off the sense of euphoria as he fled the scene. At the same time, blue halos erupted from his body, forming a tornado-like barrier.
These Man-eating Nightmare Flowers were one of the most feared predators of the Great Star Dou Forest. Countless soul beasts and humans had fallen prey to its toxins before they had even sensed any danger, falling into a deep slumber before becoming sustenance for the flowers.
Its Nightmare Toxins were listed by the Tang Sect as one of the 10 most potent poisons in nature, and aside from its aroma, it had no shape, color, or form, and it was extremely intrusive, able to seep into its prey's body even through their pores. Furthermore, the effect of the poison acted extremely quickly, producing a paralysis effect on one's brain and even one's mind, thereby rendering them completely unable to resist.
......
Tang Wulin leaped forward, covering several dozens of meters in the blink of an eye, and as he sprang up once again, a grim look appeared on his face.
This was already the seventh wave of soul beasts that he had encountered. The previous few waves had all been easily taken care of; he didn't want to hurt any of the soul beasts, so he merely forced them into retreat. If the soul beasts didn't pay any heed to him, then he wouldn't actively attack them, either.
However, perhaps it was due to the influence of the Myriad Beast Plane, but the vast majority of soul beasts in this space were extremely aggressive. For example, the soul beast that Tang Wulin was currently facing was the most powerful one he had encountered thus far.
It was around four meters in length, so it wasn't particularly massive, but its bodily proportions were very even and coordinated, and every single one of its muscles seemed to be filled with explosive power. It had a huge head with a black ghostly face that created a stark contrast with its golden fur, and it possessed enormous strength that was on par with Tang Wulin.
On top of that, it was standing atop a halo with a golden edge on the outside and black runes on the inside; this was a domain.
The soul beast was another type of extinct soul beast that was known as the Golden Lion Mastiff.
The legends stated that the Golden Lion Mastiff was the patriarch of all dog-type soul beasts, and there were even legends that claimed it to be the patriarch of all lion-type soul beasts as well.
All of these soul beasts possessed incredible strength and were born with domain halos. They were renowned for their insanity during battle, and when they unleashed their Dominance domains, their offensive and defensive prowess would be enhanced significantly. On top of that, all of their abilities would become over 50% more powerful, and they would completely lose all sense of pain. Furthermore, they only engaged in battles to the death, thereby earning them countless enemies.
As a result, they were eventually hunted down into extinction by all of the powerful soul beasts that they had made enemies of.
Judging from the size of this Golden Lion Mastiff and its domain halo, it still hadn't reached the 100,000-year mark yet, but even so, it was still exerting immense pressure on Tang Wulin.
During their first clash, the Golden Lion Mastiff had pounced with incredible power, and Tang Wulin was sent flying like a cannonball! He wasn't wounded by the attack, but it had certainly startled him.
All of a sudden, the Golden Lion Mastiff let loose a low roar, and its golden fur began to stand up on end as it slowly made its way toward Tang Wulin with a ferocious look in its eyes.
The domain halo beneath its paws slowly rose up, and what appeared to be a ghostly shadow was seeping into its body as it activated its Dominance domain.
With each step it took, its body would expand slightly, and in the blink of an eye, it had swelled to the size of a small mountain. Its fur was glistening with a metallic sheen, and its mouth was filled with sharp fangs.
"Roar!" Another deafening roar rang out, and a black shadow that was identical to its head erupted out of its massive body. This black shadow was far larger than itself, and its roar released fearsome soundwaves that proliferated in all directions, reducing everything within a radius of 100 meters to dust.
This was its signature soundwave attack, the Lion Mastiff Roar, and it was one of the applications of its Dominance domain.
Tang Wulin could sense the space around him begin to vibrate at a high frequency as a result of the roar, and his vulnerable orifices were being severely impacted. The powerful soundwaves were threatening to shatter the nearby space, and this was only the Lion Mastiff Roar of a Golden Lion Mastiff below the 100,000-year mark!
If it were over 100,000 years of age, how powerful would it be?
Tang Wulin recalled from his lessons in Shrek Academy that one of the 10 Great Beasts had been a mastiff-type soul beast, but it wasn't a Golden Lion Mastiff as they were already extinct at the time. He was confident that if a 100,000-year-old Golden Lion Mastiff had existed, that mastiff-type Great Beast definitely would've been booted off the list.
Purple lightning coursed over Tang Wulin's body, and he let loose a dragon's roar toward the Golden Lion Mastiff.
A dragon's head that was comprised of blue lightning emerged, and the soundwaves unleashed weren't as fierce as those of the Lion Mastiff Roar, but the roar was still able to protect him while unleashing a counterattack against the Golden Lion Mastiff.
