Thundercloud, realizing that his attacks were completely futile, flew into a rage, sending out multiple bolts of lightning streaking towards the giant mountain.
The consumption of thunder and lightning caused the thundercloud to gradually shrink.
By the time Thundercloud came to his senses that his real target was not the giant mountain, he had already lost much of his power, only managing to gather the last of his strength into a thunder column and smash it onto the charred and puffed Lion.
The thunder column hurtling from the sky grew larger and larger in the Lion’s eyes—perched upon the column was a Thunder Dragon!
The Five-clawed Golden Dragon, with its claws bared and body emitting a purple aura, roared so powerfully that all beasts submitted.
The Lion King, as the ruler of all beasts, was equal in status to the Dragon race.
It felt its knees weaken, an impulse to kneel under the roar of the dragon—such a thing must not happen!
The Lion’s Roar was deafening, earth-shaking, capable of shattering mountains and rivers.
The powerful sonic waves blasted like a huge tide, causing the thunder column entwined around the giant dragon to tremble briefly, and although it did not dissipate, it did fade somewhat.
The giant dragon lunged with bared fangs and claws and managed to cancel out the sonic waves, but at a great cost. At last, it transformed into a dragon the size of a palm, biting onto the charred Lion’s ear with its final strength.
The thunder column took the opportunity to crash onto the back of the charred Lion. In an instant, the oil paper umbrella turned to dust, and the scorched flesh sunk inward, the wound so deep that bone was visible. But at the same time, the thundercloud dispersed, leaving a clear sky.
The giant mountain rose to its feet, transforming into a human. It walked over to the Lion, whose eyes were scattered but filled with excited luster, "Your cultivation has increased, but your techniques need to be stronger. Relying only on the Lion’s Roar Technique, you will not be able to withstand the Thunder Tribulation."
The Lion nodded its big head, asking, "Where’s my sister?"
"Oh, she has already broken through and should have joined the War God on the battlefield by now."
"She is already able to enter the battlefield?"
"Take good care of your wounds, and you too can return to the battlefield."
The dream sequence changed, and Little Taotie arrived on the battlefield. She looked around, seeking familiar faces but realized she was among the enemy camp, watching the dream with a god’s eye view rather than being there in person.
In the Blood Pool lay a person with long hair draping down the back, facing away from Little Taotie.
She heard that person speak, seemingly talking to oneself, or perhaps to someone else.
"With my flesh and blood to feed his mount, the War God is too optimistic."
A strange voice that was neither male nor female, neither old nor young said, "My lord, will she be assimilated?"
"The nature of a Fierce Beast, how can it be suppressed? By eating my flesh and blood, stimulating the bloodline, revealing her true nature, she will definitely become a second me! With this action, the War God is undoubtedly raising a tiger as trouble."
"My lord, did you let the War God succeed on purpose?"
"If I could kill the War God myself, why would I need such schemes? This is but a last resort."
"My lord, you are wise!"
The man stood up from the Blood Pool, and the scene shifted to Little Taotie arriving in a room.
The room was beautifully adorned, with layered pink gauze around the bed. A jade Ruyi held up the bed curtain to reveal a small person lying inside.
The Little Beast slept soundly, face flushed as if fevered.
Occasionally, a totemic pattern appeared on the face, then spread to the forehead, before vanishing once more.
The Little Beast’s ears suddenly popped out, and the large tail couldn’t stay hidden any longer. With a puff of green smoke, she transformed into the form of Little Beast Bai Bai, curling up on the bed, her large tail swaying as it lifted.
Black totemic patterns appeared between Bai Bai’s brows, each lasting longer than the last, suddenly magnifying as if Little Beast Bai Bai’s body was covered in sinister totems, the black and white creating a stark contrast.
