770 The New Valley Master of the Valley of Gluttony (1/2)
Lord Dog's paw landed gently on the skull of the giant. Alas, the three-metered body and the enormous skull exploded in an instant!
When faced with immediate death, a sense of injustice appeared in the giant's eyes. He was reluctant to resign to his tragic fate and would destroy everything he could land his hands on!
He would not accept ending his life in such a manner and without any fight!
That dog's paw was crushing down with a strength that could crush the heavens and earth, so it was impossible for the giant to resist the immense pressure even if he wanted to. If he were still at the strongest point in his life, there would be no way he would be humiliated by a dog.
As he coughed out blood, he was boiling with fury. However, almost immediately, his mind went blank, and his entire body crumbled, shattering into bits on the ground.
Roar!
A desperate roar was heard as a white beam of transparent light radiated from the body of the crumbling giant, who was trying to escape from his fate. It was the divine soul of someone at the Divine Spirit Realm. The divine soul would only appear when the divine flame was lit. Only then could the divine soul obtain immortality.
However, once the body was destroyed, the divine soul would dissipate quickly by the force of heaven and earth. Because it had lost its pillar, the divine soul of the giant would not continue to exist for long.
Most people had witnessed the demise of the divine soul with mixed feelings. The giant was a powerful and influential figure at his most glorious days, but now, he had died at the paws of a dog.
It was not possible for the giant not to feel sad at his fate.
Lord Dog watched the white divine soul struggling to escape with its cool and impassive eyes. The giant's divine soul howled while accelerating at an alarming speed towards the exit.
Lord Dog could not be bothered with the turn of events. As the divine soul of the giant was leaving, he turned and roared at Lord Dog, seemingly unwilling to resign to his fate.
”You will regret your action of destroying my body! The founding Valley Master will exact revenge for me!”
With his outraged howl, the giant's face was fully contorted and hideous. The terrified look on his face was at its peak, but he was not without regret—he regretted trying to lure the young lad who had obtained the Taotie's Heart.
If Bu Fang had not done so, he would not have awakened. But with the Taotie's Heart, there would be a day where he would return after absorbing enough vitality. He would definitely be able to suppress the Hidden Dragon Royal Court, and his reputation would be as glorious as the first Valley Master of the Valley of Gluttony!
But it was futile to moan and regret now that the possibility had been shattered. It was akin to the illusionary flower in the mirror or the moon in the lake. All his preparations had gone to waste.
Lord Dog raised his eyes slightly and glanced at the divine soul of the giant who was whining loudly. It gave a slight yawn and spoke with its deep husky voice, ”I did not intend to terminate your divine soul, but since you're seeking death… I'll grant your wish.”
Everyone was dumbfounded. In the next moment, they were struck with fear as they broke out in cold sweat.
Woof!
The black dog opened its mouth, exposing its sharp fangs that were beaming with sparkling brilliance.
Woof!
A bark from the dog, followed by a deafening sound wave caused a howling wind to sweep up. Up in the air, the divine soul of the giant formed a contorted expression as a horrified look appeared on his face. He turned to run but realized that it was too late as the bark of the dog ripped through his body. His divine soul was rendered motionless in the illusory void.
That humongous dog mouth seemed to devour the daylight as it reached for the divine soul of the giant. As the divine soul of the giant looked on with a terrified gaze, it was quickly devoured by Lord Dog. Peace and serenity were restored as the dog's mouth shrank to its usual size.
Lord Dog moved its lips with a tinge of contempt before muttering, ”I haven't been eating divine souls for a long time. It's no longer to my liking… The Sweet 'n' Sour Ribs is still my favorite.”
Thump. Thump.
The onlookers were petrified. Feeling their legs turning into jelly, they slumped and fell on the ground.
That dog! It had to be a demon! How else could it consume a divine soul? A divine soul signified the existence of someone at the Divine Spirit Realm! After cultivating to the peak of the Divine Soul Realm and forming the nine steps soul ladder, one would be able to ignite their divine flame! That was a realm that could only be obtained through hard work. However, all of it turned into nothing when a black dog chomped it down.
That dog was like a demonic nightmare.
Mo Liuji's pupils constricted. He was breathing heavily, his body trembling with streams of perspiration glistening on it.
Chu Changsheng and the others were staring aghast at the dog in the illusionary void.
Nether King Er Ha was not surprised by what happened. If Lord Dog were to attack, he could easily treat ten giants like chickens and dogs, let alone one lone giant. As he was thinking, he flung the pitch-black brick-like Spicy Strip in a beautiful arc toward Bi Liantian, who was struggling to crawl out of the lotus.
Bi Liantian was so infuriated that she lost all her elegant and beautiful composure. She started to rant and shout like a shrew.
How could she not be irked? All women were concerned with their looks, and yet that fellow dared to throw a dirty charcoal-like object at her? What made it worse was that she had no means of evading the attack!
Why was her life so tragic? Bi Liantian could not help but scream her head off.
Great White from afar watched on with a trembling body. As he touched his pearly white skin, he laughed heartily, opening his mouth that was filled with saw-like teeth. Luckily, he did not provoke that man with the brick. With only one look, he knew that that man was not simple. Even with a brick in hand, he looked imposing and majestic.
It would be wiser to hold on dearly to his Shrimp Ancestor so that he would be able to flourish in the endless sea.
He would not have left the Black Dragon Palace for the Hidden Dragon Royal Court had he not offended the Black Dragon King. Furthermore, he would not have entered the Royal Court and Holy Lands had he not chanced upon the inheritance.
He had risked being turned into an ingredient for the Valley of Gluttony when he seized the opportunity to loot the inheritance. Fortunately, he had encountered an even better alternative by meeting Shrimp Ancestor! Though Gluttony was a divine beast, it was not a Divine Sea Beast, so its effect on Great White would be limited.
If he were to choose between the Taotie's Heart and Shrimp Ancestor, it would be Shrimp Ancestor for sure. He was, after all, his fellow terrestrial mate. As the saying went, it was always heartwarming to see one's terrestrial mate on foreign land. Thus, he had decided to make the wise choice of currying favor with his Shrimp Ancestor.
Shrimpy looked at Great White suspiciously with his twinkling eyes.
