"Rumble…"
The terrifying thunder roared like an unstoppable blade, slicing through the sky and striking down toward Lingyun within the Ice-Fire Two-Phase Eyes.
This scene shocked Dugu Bo to the core. He feared that the hot spring below would be destroyed by this 200,000-year-old ferocious beast and the endless thunder.
This was a rare treasure place he had painstakingly found, where plants could grow thousands of times faster—a true paradise for flora.
And the hot spring was vital for resisting the toxins within his body.
Thus, he felt the medicinal herbs could be devoured by the beast, but this natural treasure ground must not be destroyed.
Seeing the tiger-like ferocious beast below still writhing in pain, he steeled his heart.
Without any hesitation, he released his own soul skill toward the sky.
"Eighth Soul Skill, Time Freeze!"
Dugu Bo's eighth soul skill, Time Freeze, when combined with his ninth soul skill Bilin Divine Light, could cover a vast area and easily destroy a city.
However, when used alone, it possessed a limited time-stopping ability, somewhat analogous to the Bipolar Stasis Domain used by the Douluo Masters Gui and Ju.
Yet Dugu Bo's own strength was limited, and his soul power could not compare to Gui or Ju, so the effect was far weaker.
Gui and Ju's Bipolar Stasis Domain could even restrain Tang Hao, Da Ming, and Er Ming.
But when Dugu Bo used Time Freeze, the effect was mediocre.
Against the thunder tribulation of a 200,000-year-old ferocious beast, this move was like a mantis trying to stop a chariot.
The effect of Time Freeze only slowed the thunder striking from the sky by half a moment.
Time Freeze was instantly shattered; the thunder fell as usual, and Dugu Bo suffered backlash, spitting out a mouthful of blood.
However, the brief respite gave Lingyun enough time to awaken from the thunderclap.
Seeing the thunder falling toward him and noticing Dugu Bo had delayed it for a half moment, Lingyun gained a tiny chance to breathe. He realized that he could not destroy the Ice-Fire Two-Phase Eyes used by others for detoxification.
Immediately, he flapped his demonic wings and rushed toward the descending lightning.
"Rumble…" Lingyun's massive body collided with the thick thunderbolt.
To Lingyun's surprise, the expected pain of paralysis, tearing, and burning did not arrive.
Instead, the lightning, striking his body, visibly began repairing the swelling caused by consuming three Immortal-grade plants simultaneously.
His mind went blank—what on earth was happening?
Being struck by lightning caused no damage and even repaired his body. Such treatment only appeared for protagonists in previous web novels.
Could it be that he truly had protagonist-level privileges? Or, having devoured Tang San, was he now the main character of the Douluo world?
After thinking, he realized the real reason. The Dark Demon Evil God Tiger, aside from time, space, darkness, and wind attributes, also possessed lightning.
Thus, when he advanced to 100,000 years, he acquired the soul skill Eradicate Evil God Lightning.
For Lingyun, lightning was one of his inherent attributes, so it caused no harm.
"Hahaha, I'm making a fortune! Heaven, come on, I'm not afraid of you!"
Lingyun was ecstatic. Devouring the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger had not been a loss, though he regretted not acquiring its original spirit pearl.
He recalled in Heavenly Jewel Change, the protagonist Zhou Weiqing became a divine king because he obtained the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger's original spirit pearl.
If he had acquired it, the benefit would have been even greater.
Rumble after rumble, lightning struck, but Lingyun remained unharmed. His wounds rapidly healed, and his aura gradually surged to its peak.
Dugu Bo, clutching his chest, stared at Lingyun laughing maniacally, utterly shocked.
No wonder a 200,000-year-old ferocious beast could withstand even lightning.
If it were him facing such thunder, he would have been obliterated.
Comparing the beast's ease, Dugu Bo felt human frustration at being outclassed by a beast.
Lingyun felt that not only was he the master of the rankings, even Heaven itself seemed under his control.
Otherwise, if the tribulation had been different—such as the fire tribulation or heart-demon tribulation often seen in fantasy novels—he probably could not have survived.
As the clouds gradually dispersed, the thunder tribulation ended.
Lingyun's aura reached 200,000 years, officially becoming a ferocious beast.
"Roar…"
He howled to the sky, his body visibly growing to about twenty meters.
His demonic wings, now blocking the sky, became even larger, gleaming like obsidian.
His four huge tiger claws grew even more powerful. Lingyun felt that with his current strength,even facing the next ordinary Douluo Master head-on would pose no problem.
The 200,000-year aura radiated outward with overwhelming force.
All soul beasts in the Sunset Forest, sensing this aura, knelt and bowed their heads in respect.
A 100,000-year-old Mandala Snake Emperor, long asleep in the Sunset Forest, awoke in fear, sensing Lingyun's 200,000-year aura.
It cautiously crawled toward Lingyun, trembling—his aura far stronger, capable of crushing it easily.
If Lingyun had seen this snake, he would have recognized it as the 100,000-year-old soul beast summoned by Tang San with an Immortal-grade item in the original story.
This soul beast was acquainted with Xiao Wu, and in the original, it left peacefully because of her, avoiding conflict with the Shrek team.
Several Douluo Masters in Tian Dou Imperial City sensed the 200,000-year ferocious beast's aura and could not remain seated.
Ten-thousand-year-old soul beasts were already terrifying; now a 200,000-year-old appeared.
Not only that, but its aura exuded evil and coldness—if not the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger, then what?
A 100,000-year Dark Demon Evil God Tiger ranked fifteenth; at 200,000 years, its strength might easily rank within the top five.
