Soul Land 3: Legend Of The Dragon King

After letting loose that thunderous roar, the Golden Lion Mastiff instantly sprang up before sending its front paws crashing down toward Tang Wulin.

Tang Wulin's expression changed slightly as he sensed the enormous power imbued within the attack, and he knew the aura being released by the Golden Lion Mastiff wasn't simply just one of pure strength. With the enhancements of the Dominance domain, it's entire body had been filled with peerless strength that was filled with a sense of insanity, culminating in an extremely fearsome aura.

Tang Wulin didn't dare to fight fire with fire, so he quickly shot back in retreat.

"Boom!"

The Golden Lion Mastiff slammed its front paws down onto the ground, and the earth tremored violently as countless trees in the surrounding area were uprooted, and Tang Wulin was flung up into the air by the shockwaves.

During this process, his entire body went numb, and he was carried upward by the shockwaves in an uncontrollable manner. The Golden Lion Mastiff drew upon the impact to propel itself up into the air, then swiped a massive front paw horizontally toward Tang Wulin.

After unleashing its Dominance domain, its offensive prowess had been significantly enhanced, and Tang Wulin didn't dare to hold back any longer.

His dragon core quickly contracted, sending scorching blood essence coursing through his body to instantly alleviated the numb sensation he had been afflicted by. In the face of the Golden Lion Mastiff's massive paw, he retaliated by unleashing a punch of his own, and a rumbling thunderclap rang out, immediately followed by a resounding boom.

Tang Wulin was sent flying into the distance, while the Golden Lion Mastiff almost crashed down onto the ground with lightning flashing all over its body, rendering it temporarily unable to continue its assault.

Tang Wulin's blood essence churned violently within his body, and he only managed to stabilize himself after he had lost count of how many trees his body had snapped. The Golden Lion Mastiff definitely possessed the greatest strength among all of the soul beasts he had encountered. Perhaps only Bear Lord in full swing would be able to match it in this area, but Bear Lord was a Great Beast that had lived for countless years, so the fact that the Golden Lion Mastiff was able to match his strength was sufficient testament to how effective its Dominance domain was.

Of course, despite its enormous strength, it would be virtually impossible for it to harm Tang Wulin. Tang Wulin knew that he would definitely be under constant surveillance in the Myriad Beast Plane, so he didn't dare to display his full power in fear of revealing his true identity.

"Roar!" The Golden Lion Mastiff let loose another furious roar as its mountainous body appeared directly above Tang Wulin.

In retaliation, Tang Wulin sprang up and focused all of his power into his fist. Due to the fact that he was unable to use his Nine Arts of the Golden Dragon, he was relying on his own strength, soul power, dragon's repulse, and lightning power.

"Rumble!"

Their battle was the epitome of destruction. Tang Wulin was slammed back down onto the ground amid an explosive boom, and he was buried into the earth like a nail.

As for the Golden Lion Mastiff, its body reared up slightly, but aside from the fact that the golden luster of its fur had dimmed slightly, the lightning hadn't been able to inflict any substantial damage upon it.

After landing on the ground, it slammed its front paws down onto the ground again, and Tang Wulin was forcibly ejected out of the earth as a result of the enormous impact. After that, it opened its cavernous mouth to try and swallow Tang Wulin whole.

At this moment, Tang Wulin was in a state of complete disorientation.

When he had first encountered the Golden Lion Mastiff, he had completely underestimated it. After all, it hadn't even reached 100,000 years of age yet, while he was a Titled Douluo. Thus, he was testing the Golden Lion Mastiff to see exactly what it was capable of.

Much to his surprise, the Golden Lion Mastiff's Dominance domain was far more powerful than he had expected, and its string of attacks had almost scattered his powerful blood essence. What was even more shocking to him was that his ever-effective bloodline suppression was failing to take effect on the Golden Lion Mastiff.

As a result, he was forced firmly onto the back foot, and in his current state, he was completely unable to defend himself against the Golden Lion Mastiff's oncoming attack.

He heaved a resigned sigh as a streak of bluish-purple light appeared in mid-air, and in that instant, everything seemed to suddenly slow down.

This wasn't a result of Tang Wulin's Time Reversal domain. Instead, it was due to the fact that the air had become more viscous due to a sudden influx of lightning elements.

"Crack!" The streak of bluish-purple light struck the Golden Lion Mastiff's body.

Compared to its mountainous body, the streak of light was downright diminutive, but in the instant that it was struck all of the Golden Lion Mastiff's fur stood up on end, and it completely stiffened in mid-air as its body turned a bluish-purple color.

The current Golden Lion Mastiff was rather amusing to behold as it was like a massive bluish-purple dog that was suspended in mid-air.

In the next instant, it plummeted down from the heavens in a state of free fall, smashing a massive crater into the ground. 

As for Tang Wulin, his body was still on the ascent from the impact of the Golden Lion Mastiff's paw slams, and only after he had reached the apex of his ascent did he begin to fall. 

At this point, he had already had a chance to catch his breath, and his dragon core and soul core were fully functional again as he righted himself in mid-air.

The attack that he had just unleashed was his Lightning God Whip!

This was the first time that he had used this soul skill during a real battle, and it had proven to be extremely effective.

Due to his adopted identity as the young master of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, he could only use his own lightning power, and he couldn't reveal his Infernal Lightning Vine, so he had unleashed that attack in a very sneaky manner. As a result, he was unable to unleash the full power of the Lightning God Whip, but even so, it was still an extremely fearsome attack. This was his ninth soul skill, after all, so it was only natural that the Golden Lion Mastiff was unable to withstand it.

Thus, Tang Wulin hovered in mid-air as he cast his gaze toward the Golden Lion Mastiff down below.

Instead of being enraged by the string of attacks he had been forced to withstand, he was quite elated to have encountered such a powerful opponent.

The Golden Lion Mastiff was a figurative whetstone, with which he could sharpen and hone all of his skills and abilities. At the same time, he wanted to assess just how powerful this Golden Lion Mastiff was.

The Golden Lion Mastiff was spasming uncontrollably from the effects of the Lightning God Whip, and Tang Wulin could see that its body was beginning to shrink while the Dominance domain's effect was gradually weakening.

Oh? Did the Lightning God Whip disable its domain? 

The final trace of bluish-purple lightning finally vanished from the Golden Lion Mastiff's body, and it had reverted back to its original size. All of its fur had been charred slightly black, but what caught Tang Wulin's attention the most was that the Golden Lion Mastiff's black ghostly face had receded to reveal a rather adorable chubby face.

In the end, the original ghostly face was reduced to a pair of black spots on the Golden Lion Mastiff's eyelids.

"Woof, woof!" It barked a few times in Tang Wulin's direction before immediately fleeing the scene.
