Douluo Amon: I am the Heavenly Venerable of the Dragon King

Chapter 107 Chimera Soul Beast

"I knew it would turn out like this!"

Nan Fusheng looked at the translucent worm that was constantly wriggling in his hand.

Third Soul: Spirit Insect.

Abilities: Manipulates mental energy, transforming it into threads to control others, or directly erases the soul of the target, turning them into a puppet. The puppet can still use the abilities it possessed in life. (Note: The mental energy threads are invisible and intangible, making them extremely difficult to detect.)

Well, it's a pretty good ability, at least it's the offensive ability that Nan Fusheng most desires to possess right now, but...

"I'm already a demigod, so I can use the ability of the Puppet Master to manipulate the threads of spirits, even with the help of the Source Castle."

In short, this ability is somewhat useless. It might be useful for the clones who are with Tang Wulin and the others, but it won't be of much use to the main body.

"My soul power is at level thirty-seven, and the energy within the seal is almost depleted. I should replenish it sometime," Nan Fusheng muttered to himself.

"What? Are you dissatisfied with the abilities I provided you? >_<"

Just then, the spirit insect in Nan Fusheng's hand emitted a mental fluctuation, expressing its dissatisfaction and conveying something like...

"As fellow members of the Nanfu family, fellow members of the Nanfu family should not discriminate against fellow members of the Nanfu family."

"My original form was just a thousand-year-old silkworm. It's already quite good that I can provide you with such a soul skill. Please don't make things difficult for me."

"Anyway, your first three soul skills are most likely already fixed as the abilities of the Gou family. If other soul spirits were to absorb them, the result would probably be similar. We need to look to the future!"

Damn, this spirit is a chatterbox too!

Nan Fusheng's soul spirit is the result of his parasitic ability after he became a demigod, which he used to transform his three soul spirits into clones.

Using his soul as a clone allowed him to gain a slight understanding of the composition of souls, in addition to some information from the Spirit Pagoda in Tianhai City.

"So, is there any result regarding that?"

"We've achieved some results. Look over here." After saying this, Qian Gu Bu Bai led Nan Fusheng to the location of the Ascension Platform and then looked to the side.

The staff member (clone) at the Ascension Platform immediately understood, reached out and typed on the keyboard, and then an image appeared on the screen.

The scene appeared to be on the peak of an extinct volcano in the Ascension Platform, with a huge hole in the peak. As the scene descended, the screen began to turn black.

It seemed that we had descended to a certain altitude, and the screen began to become clear and bright again. We were inside the mountain, and the surrounding cave walls emitted a soft white light. It was because of this light that the screen was not completely dark.

The camera descended to a certain height, from which the scene inside the cave could be clearly captured—bloody, incredibly bloody.

In the Spirit Ascension Platform, even death should cause one to dissipate into specks of light. However, this only applies to the Soul Masters who enter; the Soul Beasts inside can devour each other.

At the bottom of the cave, there was a thick lake of blood, with blood bubbles rising and falling, as if some kind of creature was hiding inside.

"Begin releasing the prey," said the invincible warrior to the staff.

"We're all Nan Fusheng, do you really need to say that?" The staff member typed on the screen, and then a fire dragon with a cultivation level of ten thousand years was thrown into the blood lake.

The 'Earthfire Dragon' looks very similar to the four-legged dinosaur that Nan Fusheng knew in his previous life. This kind of soul beast is considered a sub-dragon species. It is a sub-dragon species that evolved from the soul beast 'Earthfire Lizard' when it broke through ten thousand years and activated its own bloodline.

The Earth Fire Dragon is considered one of the top ten thousand-year-old soul beasts. Although its cultivation level is only around ten thousand years, it should be able to fight against ordinary twenty or thirty thousand-year-old soul beasts without being at a disadvantage.

On the screen, after the earth fire dragon fell into the blood lake, it began to struggle and thrash about. Fortunately, the earth fire dragon was quite large, and the blood in the lake where it landed was shallow, so the earth fire dragon quickly stood up on all fours.

Despite being called a dragon, the Earthfire Dragon has no wings. Instead, its limbs are rather thick, its teeth are incredibly sharp, and its body is covered in dense, red scales that resemble armor.

The Earthfire Dragon was watching its surroundings with extreme vigilance, occasionally letting out a roar, which proved that it seemed to have some fear of this unfamiliar environment, and that it was roaring to bolster its courage.

The next moment, the blood lake boiled, and with a "whoosh," a pillar of blood shot into the sky, as if some enormous creature had appeared.

A blurry figure emerged from within the pillar of blood. As the pillar of blood began to dissipate and turn into a rain of blood, the enormous creature inside began to reveal its true form.

When the local fire dragon saw the creature's appearance clearly, it immediately let out a roar. Its entire body tensed up, and sparks appeared faintly in its mouth, as if it would launch an attack at any moment.

Nan Fusheng, inside the Spirit Pagoda, also saw the full appearance of the creature in front of him through the images on the screen.

This enormous creature was about ten meters tall. Its upper body was that of a bear, with dark golden fur indicating its formidable defensive capabilities, but its lower body had the limbs of a tiger.

That's right, limbs. Just like the centaurs in mythology, this bear has the limbs of a tiger. And at the junction of the bear and tiger's bodies, there is a gaping maw on its abdomen.

With the body of a bear, the limbs of a tiger, and a large mouth on its belly, it was a monster that looked like a hodgepodge.

Especially when looking at the bear's paws, the blue light emanating from them seemed extremely out of place against its dark gold fur.

"How is it? The body of a dark gold bear, the claws of a crystal bear, and the limbs of a ghost tiger. Don't underestimate this soul beast just because its cultivation is only about five thousand years. Even a ten-thousand-year-old earth fire dragon would be no match for it."

"Yes, Not Bad."

Nan Fusheng nodded in agreement. The Dark Gold Bear, a branch of the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear, did not inherit the Dark Gold Terrorclaw of the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear, but it did inherit the fur used for defense.

There's no need to elaborate on the Crystal Bear; Nan Fusheng had encountered one before, and its claws likely inherited its crystallization ability.

As for the Ghost Tiger, as the saying goes, "Clouds follow the dragon, wind follows the tiger," the Ghost Tiger is a prime example. Possessing the limbs of a Ghost Tiger proves that its speed should not be underestimated.

This soul beast was 'created' by Nan Fusheng. It possesses characteristics of multiple creatures, and Nan Fusheng calls it the "Chimera" soul beast.

Please vote for me, dear readers!

Chapter 108 Ghost Bear

The ten-meter-tall spirit beast on the screen clearly fits this definition, but its opponent, the Earth Fire Dragon, had a different experience.

The Earth Fire Dragon is about four meters tall and about 10-12 meters long. Compared to the Chimera Soul Beast, which is about ten meters tall, it looks rather short.

"Roar..." "Roar..."

Two roars rang out from the Chimera Soul Beast: one was a bear's roar coming from its upper body, and the other was a tiger's howl coming from its large maw on its abdomen.

The combination of the two sounds, along with the terrifying appearance of the Chimera Soul Beast, made it exceptionally intimidating.

"boom."

The response from the Chimera Soul Beast was a fireball from the Earth Fire Dragon. A huge fireball, with an orange-red trajectory, slammed into the Chimera Soul Beast. The intense heat even caused the blood in the Blood Lake to boil and evaporate, creating wisps of white mist.

After spitting out a fireball, the Earthfire Dragon did not stop. Instead, it continued to spit out one fireball after another. The shockwaves from the exploding fireballs caused the entire cave to shake.

After bombarding it for a while, the Earthfire Dragon finally stopped firing, looking slightly tired. The continuous fireballs had almost exhausted its stored energy. But the Earthfire Dragon would do it again, because it had long felt fear from that creature.

It wasn't a suppression of bloodline, but rather a relationship similar to that of predator and prey; the fear in its heart made it subconsciously want to destroy the giant beast.

As the Earthfire Dragon stopped spewing fireballs, the white mist in the cave began to dissipate. The Earthfire Dragon turned its gaze to the place where the white mist was thickest, wanting to see if the giant beast had been killed by it.

As the thick fog dissipated, what came into the Earthfire Dragon's view was a colossal beast enveloped in azure light. Its previously dark golden fur had somehow transformed into azure.

Why did the fur change color? The Earthfire Dragon no longer had the energy to think about this question. It only knew that the giant beast in front of it, which was radiating a deep blue light, was completely unharmed from its attack. How was that possible?

Meanwhile, as the Earthfire Dragon's attack ceased, the azure light emanating from the Chimera Soul Beast began to recede, and its fur returned to a dark gold color. It was one of its abilities that had just blocked all of the Earthfire Dragon's attacks.

Crystallization, by attaching the power of crystallization to the dark gold fur, makes it even stronger. Combined with the already formidable defense of the Dark Gold Bear, this completely renders the Earthfire Dragon's attacks ineffective.

“Roar…” x2.

The Chimera Soul Beast roared again, and then its enormous body appeared in front of the Earth Fire Dragon with astonishing speed, its claws glowing with blue light slamming into the Earth Fire Dragon's body.

"Crack, click, click."

The sharp claws struck the scales of the Earthfire Dragon, sending sparks flying. The Earthfire Dragon let out a miserable cry and was sent flying by the Chimera Soul Beast's claws.

"Boom."

The massive body of the Earthfire Dragon crashed directly into the cave wall, causing the entire cave to shake.

"Roar……"

The Earthfire Dragon staggered to its feet and roared at the Chimera Soul Beast, but its voice was no longer as powerful as before.

On the back of the Earthfire Dragon, where it had just been struck by the Chimera Soul Beast, the scales were shattered, and a deep claw mark was left on its broad back. However, no blood spurted out; instead, a bright blue light shimmered, seemingly eroding into the Earthfire Dragon's body.

When the earth fire dragon's scales were shattered by the chimera soul beast, the crystallized energy flowed through the wounds and into the earth fire dragon's body, attempting to crystallize it.

Although the crystallization process was slow due to the large size of the Earth Fire Dragon and its cultivation level far exceeding that of the Chimera Soul Beast, and it was still being driven away by the Earth Fire Dragon's soul power, the Earth Fire Dragon's body was beginning to sluggish.

The Chimera Soul Beast wouldn't give the Earthfire Dragon a chance to breathe; instead, it moved its limbs rapidly, closing in on the Earthfire Dragon. The limbs, derived from the Ghost Tiger, made the Chimera Soul Beast extremely fast, and the two soul beasts were already quite close.

Almost in the blink of an eye, the Chimera Soul Beast arrived in front of the Earth Fire Dragon.

"Sizzle..." Flames flashed from the mouth of the Earthfire Dragon, completely unconcerned that the fireballs it was spewing at such close range would also affect it; it was clearly going to fight to the death.

"Roar..." When the Chimera Soul Beast appeared in front of the Earth Fire Dragon, its large mouth on its belly let out a roar, and the invisible sound waves attacked the Earth Fire Dragon's eardrums and reached its brain.

This huge mouth can even emit sonic attacks! The Earthfire Dragon was hit by the sonic wave, which slowed its movements down by a beat. The next moment, the Chimera Soul Beast's blue claws slammed directly into its head.

The Earthfire Dragon's entire head was slammed into the ground, then bounced back up, leaving the entire dragon stunned.

"Boom, boom..."

The Chimera Soul Beast's claws slammed into the Earthfire Dragon's head again and again. The stunned Earthfire Dragon could hardly resist and struggled in the blood lake before it finally died.

"Crack, click..."

As the sound of chewing food rang out, the Chimera Soul Beast lifted the entire Earthfire Dragon and placed it in front of its large maw on its belly. With a snap of its maw, the Earthfire Dragon's head was bitten in two.

……

Inside the Spirit Pagoda, Nan Fusheng stared into deep thought as he watched the scene of the giant beast feeding on the screen.

"The body of the Dark Gold Bear, the claws of the Crystal Bear, the limbs of the Ghost Tiger, plus the sonic attack of the recently acquired Thunder Tiger. Among the thousand-year-old soul beasts, this Chimera soul beast can definitely rival a super soul beast in terms of overall strength."

"Moreover, these organs are perfectly integrated with it, and as its strength increases, these abilities will become stronger and stronger."
