Douluo Continent: From Internal Martial Arts to the Law of Heaven and Earth

Given the special nature of spirit beasts like the Golden Lion Mastiff, it's not impossible for it to recover from a severed limb. After all, if its injury recovery ability were poor, the Golden Lion Mastiff would have been dragged to death by its own injuries long ago, and it wouldn't be able to stubbornly challenge others all day long.

However, the time was too short, and since the injury was inflicted by Xiong Jun, recovery would not be so easy.

Despite all these unfavorable conditions, the golden-haired lion still charged out without hesitation and attacked the bear king.

Perhaps this is what truly makes someone mediocre: someone who dares not cause trouble.

Tang Shan's expression suddenly became tense—Shrek Academy's reluctance to cause trouble was due to mediocrity and making trouble out of nothing, and it was a case of the strong bullying the weak;

Qin Ming's reluctance to provoke trouble is a sign of mediocrity; when facing a powerful enemy, one must rise to the challenge.

Only the golden-haired lion mastiff who dares not cause trouble is truly mediocre—he's either fighting or on his way to fight every day. He fights whether he has a reason or not, and as long as he can't be killed, he'll beat me to death.

……

The two ferocious beasts about to collide were naturally unaware of Tang Shan's inner monologue. Facing the fierce opponent charging directly at him, Xiong Jun unleashed his signature soul skill, Dark Gold Terror Claw.

Tear!

Five dazzling golden lights flashed by, like golden lines tearing through the sky. The next moment, dark cracks spread from where the golden lines passed, and a terrifying suction force pulled in everything around. This was only the aftermath of the Dark Gold Terror Claws. The real sharp claws had already landed heavily on the golden-haired lion mastiff.

Tear!

A sharp, piercing clang of metal clashing suddenly rang out, causing Tang Shan to reflexively furrow his brow, and even the auspicious beast couldn't help but cover its ears.

Bright sparks flew, and as the golden fur tumbled, five faint bloodstains appeared on the golden-haired lion-mastiff's burly back. Undeterred, it charged forward, its head like a heavy hammer, crashing into Xiong Jun.

The enormous bear paw, like a gigantic millstone, enveloped the opponent's entire body, and the head and paw collided with a thunderous crash for the first time.

Boom!

Where the two collided, fine, dark spatial cracks spread wildly, the rock layers of the island beneath their feet crumbled, and the surrounding sea was churned up by the shockwave. The bear's body, which was a hundred meters tall, suddenly trembled and then uncontrollably retreated continuously, each step leaving a deep crater on the island.

The golden-haired lion mastiff had barely landed when its four-meter-long body sprang up again, unleashing terrifying power that caused the ground to suddenly collapse into a crater several meters deep, with debris flying everywhere.

Its golden body, like a streak of light, charged towards the hundred-meter-tall giant bear with an aura of destruction.

"Get out of here!"

Enraged by the relentless pursuit of the golden-haired lion-mastiff, Xiong Jun roared across the islands, pressing down with both palms simultaneously, crushing the air and breaking the sound barrier. The space beneath his palms twisted violently, and black spatial lightning traveled along the edges of his palms, blotting out the sky and pressing down fiercely.

Card wipe!

Fine spatial cracks appeared in patches, then shattered with a roar, the pitch-black void swallowing everything, yet having no effect on the two ferocious beasts.

This time, the full force of the downward pressure barely stopped the golden-haired lion-mastiff's charge, but the immense power it carried still forced the hundred-meter-long bear to take a half-step back, and the dust at the landing point rose into a column of smoke tens of meters high.

Shocking! Absolutely stunning!

Tang Shan knew that the Golden Lion Mastiff was an outrageous spirit beast, but he never expected that even with a crippled leg, it would still be this outrageous.

That's a Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear, a super soul beast that's nearly 500,000 years old! And yet you, a mere 10,000-year-old soul beast, managed to outpower it in terms of strength.

Even though I had read the original description, it was nowhere near as shocking as seeing it live. A giant bear a hundred meters long being suppressed by a soul beast that was only four meters long was as unbelievable as a strong man who was 1.8 meters tall being overturned by a tiny insect that was only seven or eight centimeters long.

Legendary Soul Beast, is this what a legendary soul beast is?

Watching that outrageous collision, Tang Shan was quite unsettled. At this moment, he finally had a crystal-clear understanding of legendary soul beasts.

If top-tier soul beasts are relatively easy to hunt down by super soul beasts of the same age;

Therefore, for legendary soul beasts, super soul beasts of the same age may not be much different from ordinary soul beasts.

If a nearly 500,000-year-old bear king struggles so much against a golden lion mastiff, what about a dark gold terrorclaw bear that's also 20,000 years old? It would probably be killed by the golden lion mastiff the moment they meet. Both are resolved with a single slap. Perhaps for legendary soul beasts, top-tier soul beasts and ordinary soul beasts are treated equally.

hum!

A golden halo rapidly expanded outwards from the golden-haired lion-mastiff, instantly enveloping Xiong Jun within it.

Chapter 265 Berserker

Dominating the Domain is a natural domain-based soul skill that the golden-haired lion mastiff is born with, and it is also one of the most powerful abilities of this race.

As the domain was fully opened, the golden-haired lion mastiff's aura suddenly surged, its already powerful body becoming even more imposing. Its body began to expand at a slow but noticeable rate, and its fighting spirit, which had been relentless, rose once again.

Roar!

With a roar, the golden-haired lion mastiff sprang up again, unleashing terrifying power from its mere four-meter-long body, pushing its impact to its limit in a single breath.

Its intact right foreleg rose up and slammed down on Xiong Jun with the force to shatter mountains and break peaks.

"die!"

Xiong Jun did not back down. His two forearms, which were like pillars of heaven, were crossed in front of his chest. Dark golden light surged on his palms, and then suddenly tore through the void and burst out.

Buzz! Ten dark golden streaks of light flashed by, leaving behind ten spatial rifts that devoured everything. The extremely sharp dark golden claws landed mercilessly on the charging golden lion-mastiff.

Tear!

The ear-piercing and sharp metallic explosion rang out again, but this time, thanks to his all-around improved abilities, the golden-haired lion was unharmed. Moreover, the immense power contained in Xiong Jun's palms could not slow down the opponent's impact in the slightest.

Its intact right paw slammed hard onto the bear king's broad chest. The bear's body, which was a hundred meters tall, was hit as if by a heavy hammer and involuntarily retreated, almost reaching the edge of the island.

Roar!

With its relentless fighting spirit surging once more, the golden-haired lion-mastiff, now five meters long and exuding an increasingly terrifying aura, did not hesitate for a moment and pounced on Xiong Jun again the instant its new strength was born.

With a powerful slam, the massive limbs slammed into the ground, creating a deafening roar. Cracks spread rapidly outwards like a spiderweb from the point of explosive power, causing the earth to shatter and power to surge wildly.

A streak of brilliant golden light rapidly approached Xiong Jun at a speed beyond human perception.

"That's enough! You've really angered me!"

After suffering repeated setbacks in direct confrontations, Xiong Jun was thoroughly enraged. He originally thought that he could easily defeat his opponent with his Dark Gold Terror Claws, but now it seems that he will have to use his true strength to completely subdue him.

hum!

A dazzling dark golden light erupted from his body, and his aura surged dramatically. The dark golden domain, centered on his hundred-meter-tall bear body, began to spread wildly and rapidly in all directions.

Almost instantly as Xiong Jun's domain expanded, it collided violently with the golden domain of the golden-haired lion-mastiff. Golden lightning and spatial rifts raged wildly at the junction of the two domains.

Boom boom boom!

Xiong Jun's heavy body raced at high speed, each step he took creating a crater several meters deep. The entire island trembled violently and rapidly, causing Tang Shan, Gu Yue, and the others to shake violently.

"Bear King is about to get serious."

Brigitte's gentle voice rang out, and Tang Shan looked at her curiously.

Sensing Tang Shan's curious gaze, Bi Ji smiled and explained, "Previously, Xiong Jun was only fighting based on his basic physical attributes and strength, which is why he was suppressed by the golden lion. If he were to unleash his full power, the golden lion would be powerless to resist. After all, it is only a 20,000-year-old soul beast. Unless its age doubles, even with an advantage in strength, it would be impossible for it to defeat Xiong Jun."

What happened next almost perfectly confirmed Brigitte's description. The bear king, with dark golden light surging on his body, slapped down hard with his palm, condensing tremendous force in his palm, and collided with the golden lion again. This time, he stood firmly in place without retreating at all. But strangely, the golden lion was not knocked away either, but landed heavily. Then, the golden light around its body surged, and it once again unleashed its power to counterattack.

Boom boom boom!

The giant bear and the lion-mastiff clashed violently, each collision producing a deafening roar. They left countless deep craters and jagged cracks hundreds of meters long on the island after the power erupted. Wherever the two beasts passed, mountains collapsed, rocks shattered, and trees fell. The violent shockwaves stirred up clouds of dust that blotted out the sun.

Every collision is the purest clash of power, without any fancy soul skills, only a pure and ruthless collision of forces.

At the moment of the clash of immense forces, space trembled violently, and countless spatial cracks spread wildly outwards from the point of impact, destroying everything around them under the crushing force.

After an unknown amount of time, the golden light around the golden lion mastiff gradually dimmed, and its aura became noticeably weaker, but its fighting spirit only increased, making it even more ferocious.

Xiong Jun took a deep breath, and his hundred-meter-tall bear body created gusts of wind with each breath, sending sand and stones flying. He looked at the obviously exhausted golden-haired lion mastiff, and a vicious smile appeared on his ferocious bear face.

If your grandpa can't break your defenses, I refuse to believe I can't wear you down.

Yes, although the golden lion's aura has obviously weakened, it has been completely unharmed since it opened the Dominator Domain. The only injury was the shallow wound caused by the dark gold claw when it fought Xiong Jun, which has long since healed completely as the battle has progressed.

It can only be said that while the golden-haired lion mastiff's regenerative abilities may not be very effective in restoring severed limbs, it is an expert in healing minor wounds.

After all, it's extremely rare for someone to break a limb from fighting every day. In most cases, it's just minor or major injuries. The golden-haired lion mastiff has a wealth of experience in recovery in this regard. After all, if it didn't have a lot of recovery experience, how could it withstand the constant abuse this race puts on it every day?

Boom boom boom!

The entire island shook violently once more, and the two beasts collided again with a deafening roar. The aftershocks of the violent battle raged wildly, completely destroying the environment of the entire island.

The Tangshan group was steadily supported by Biji's soul power and floated in the air. As for the place where they had stood before, it had long been shattered by the aftershocks of the two beasts' battle and turned into countless pieces of rubble.

……

"Open it for me!"

Xiong Jun's roar shattered the sky, and five unprecedentedly bright dark golden rays burst forth from his palms. In the instant they tore through the sky, they ripped apart the Xiong Ba Domain with overwhelming force, and their momentum did not diminish as they went straight for the golden-haired lion mastiff that had swelled to a size of six meters.

Faced with this powerful attack that was enough to break through its own defenses, the golden lion mastiff's response was equally simple. It did not dodge or retreat. It unleashed all the remaining golden light around its body, leaped up suddenly, and with an indomitable momentum, clashed fiercely with the dark gold claw!

Tear!

Crimson blood suddenly splattered, and the golden-haired lion's impenetrable defense was finally torn open with a huge wound. But it still did not stop. Covered in blood, it fiercely pounced and charged at Xiong Jun.

The breach in its defenses was perhaps just the beginning. Afterward, the number of wounds on its body began to increase wildly, and its aura weakened rapidly at an extremely obvious speed. However, the power unleashed by the golden-haired lion mastiff increased exponentially. Its relentless will seemed to break the boundary between reality and illusion, stirring up the sky and clouds.

Another resounding collision ensued. The golden-haired lion-mastiff, which had been evenly matched with the fully-powered Bear King, was now forced back by this surge of power, its paws carving deep furrows in the ground. It's important to note that the Bear King was now unleashing its full power, unlike its previous restraint.

Isn't this power amplification a bit outrageous?

Seeing the golden-haired lion-mastiff's power increase against the trend, despite its aura clearly decreasing significantly and continuing to decrease, Tang Shan's eyes widened in shock.

What is this? The weaker I am, the stronger I become. What's the logic behind this?

Clearly, even Bi Ji couldn't explain Tang Shan's doubts. After all, the golden-haired lion mastiff is a special race, and it's extremely rare to encounter one now. As for what abilities it possesses, very few soul beasts really know.

After all, they were either killed by the golden lion mastiff, or they killed the golden lion mastiff, or they were both seriously injured. The only identity between them was that of enemies. No soul beast could befriend a golden lion mastiff. If it weren't for the very obvious characteristics of the dominant domain, who would know what abilities this terrifying race had? After all, the most obvious characteristics of the other party were their extremely stubbornness, their fighting spirit of fighting to the death, and their powerful strength that surpassed that of a soul beast of the same age.

You can't even withstand a powerful slap from your opponent, let alone explore their other abilities.

……

Boom!

With a deafening roar, the golden light surrounding the golden-haired lion-mastiff completely dissipated. Despite landing steadily, it was ultimately slammed away by Xiong Jun's palm, which contained the power of destruction. Blood gushed out like a waterfall, and its body crashed into the ground like an out-of-control cannonball, creating a huge crater that was tens of meters long and wide and several meters deep.

Although Xiong Jun had the upper hand, he was not having an easy time either. The terrifying recoil force from his paws caused his massive bear body to retreat uncontrollably, and one of his paws even stepped directly into the seawater, creating a towering wave tens of meters high.

"Tangshan, get ready, it's almost time."

Brigitte's voice rang in Tang Shan's ears. Facing Tang Shan's somewhat puzzled gaze, she smiled and said, "Golden Lion Mastiffs have a special innate state that makes them immune to all recoil and external restraints. This is their last line of defense. Once this special state is broken, although their strength will continue to increase, the intensity of their attacks and the ferocity of their bursts will inevitably be much less than before."

Listening to Brigitte's introduction, Tang Shan keenly noticed something extremely absurd. No, her power could still increase even after her status was broken. It was just unreasonable for her power to increase like that. It was no different from cheating.

A faint rustling sound came from the pit several meters deep. The Beast King, whose body had returned to its four-meter length and was covered with hideous bloodstains, emerged from it. Its body swayed slightly, but it exuded a savage and ferocious aura. A cruel smile appeared on the ghostly face on its head. It suddenly exerted force with its limbs, and the last remaining strength in its body was released. It turned into a blurry afterimage and rushed madly towards the giant bear in the sea.

call!

Its golden fur had lost its luster, and its soul power was almost depleted. The blood flowing out was rapidly taking away its life force. At this moment, it was basically in a desperate situation, but it felt no despair. All it had was an indomitable and relentless fighting spirit.

Floating high in the sky, Tang Shan's expression gradually turned solemn. He stopped labeling the golden-haired lion mastiff with tags like "stubborn" and watched its final battle in silence. The opponent's extreme will to fight to the death truly brought him a great mental shock.
