37: Big Yellow barks: "Woof!" and the mountain gate collapses.

"Boom—!!!"

A deafening roar resounded, as if the Heavens themselves were enraged, beating the drums of war.

Shi Tian's seemingly unremarkable hoe slammed heavily against the golden light barrier of the Great Luo Sacred Land's protective Formation.

In that instant, the entire world seemed to stand still.

Inside the mountain gate, the Elders of the Great Luo Sacred Land, who had been laughing wildly, suddenly stopped, looking like ducks that had been grabbed by the neck.

Their eyes bulged as they stared fixedly at the point where the hoe met the light barrier.

There.

Space was warping.

Light was collapsing.

"Crack..."

A tiny but crisp sound suddenly rang out, clearly reaching everyone's ears.

The "Nine Heavens Profound Light Formation," claimed to be unbreakable for ten thousand years and capable of withstanding a full-strength strike from the Soul Transformation Stage, actually... developed a spiderweb-like crack where the hoe landed!

"It... it cracked?!"

The Grand Elder's voice was trembling, and his eyeballs almost popped out of their sockets.

"How is this possible?!"

"What kind of hoe is that?! What kind of monster is he?!"

A five or six-year-old child, with one swing of a hoe, cracked the protective Formation of the Eastern Wasteland's number one Sacred Land?

If this got out, who would believe it?!

"Heiya!"

Seeing that his first strike hadn't succeeded, Shi Tian's small face turned beet red.

He took two steps back and raised the hoe high again, preparing for another heavy blow.

"Move aside, move aside!"

Just then.

A furry yellow figure suddenly squeezed past from behind him, even using its butt to nudge him aside.

It was Da Huang.

The Mutt had somehow run to the very front. He was standing on his hind legs with his front paws behind his back like an old official, critiquing the golden Formation that was still flickering.

"Tsk, tsk, tsk."

He shook his head, his dog face full of disdain.

"A brat is just a brat; your strength is too scattered."

"It's just tearing down a gate, why use so much effort?"

Shi Tian was stunned: "Dog Martial Uncle, you can speak?"

Da Huang ignored him.

He just stretched his neck, making several crisp cracking sounds, and then slowly walked up to the Formation's light barrier.

Inside the mountain gate, the Grand Elder and the others were so angry they nearly spat blood.

"Is... is this an insult to us?!"

"Sending a child to smash the gate was one thing, but now even a dog is coming forward?!"

"Do they really think my Great Luo Sacred Land is easy to bully?!"

"All Disciples, hear my command! Activate the Formation with full power! Shake this reckless stray dog into a bloody mist!"

"Hum—!"

With the Grand Elder's command, the protective Formation's light surged. Golden runes surged like a tide, and a terrifying counter-shock force instantly condensed.

Let alone a dog, even a Core Formation Stage Yao Beast would be instantly crushed into meat paste if it hit this!

However.

Facing this power capable of destroying heaven and earth.

Da Huang just lazily lifted his eyelids.

In his originally cloudy dog eyes, two golden flames suddenly ignited at this moment!

An ancient, vast, and terrifying Demonic Qi that seemed to come from the primordial Universe erupted from his seemingly small body!

"Awooo—"

A low growl.

His size began to swell at a speed visible to the naked eye!

One zhang!

Ten zhang!

A hundred zhang!

In the blink of an eye, the harmless-looking Mutt transformed into a hundred-zhang tall... Qilin, covered in golden flames, treading on auspicious clouds, with a single horn on its head!

The Divine Beast Qilin!

"Roar—!!!"

The Qilin roared to the heavens, its voice shaking the Nine Heavens!

That roar contained the supreme pressure of a Demon Emperor's Bloodline!

Inside the mountain gate.

Under this roar, the Great Luo Sacred Land Disciples who were fully activating the Formation felt their Souls tremble and their blood freeze. More than half of them immediately rolled their eyes and fainted, foaming at the mouth.

Even a Nascent Soul Stage Cultivator like the Grand Elder turned pale, feeling his Primordial Spirit shivering.

"Di... Divine Beast... Qilin?!"

"No... that's not right! That aura... that's... a Demon Emperor?!"

The Grand Elder's voice was trembling, and a warm sensation came from his crotch.

He finally understood what kind of existence he had provoked.

Li Daoxuan stood behind, curling his lip as he watched Da Huang's flashy display.

"This damn dog is starting to show off again."

In mid-air.

Having revealed his true form, Da Huang seemed very satisfied with his look.

He looked down at the golden light barrier below that was still barely hanging on, his eyes full of disdain.

He didn't use his claws to strike it.

Nor did he use a Divine Ability to blast it.

He just... took a deep breath.

His chest swelled high, like a balloon about to explode.

Then.

Aiming at the Great Luo Sacred Land's mountain gate.

Sinking his Qi into his Dantian.

Using all his life's strength.

He roared out his strongest syllable as a "dog"——

"Woof—!!!!!!!!!"

The sound wasn't loud.

It was even a bit comical.

But at the moment it was barked out.

A visible, terrifying sonic wave in the shape of a destructive ring erupted from Da Huang's mouth as the center!

Within that sonic wave was mixed the roar of a Qilin!

Mixed with the pressure of a Demon Emperor!

There was even a faint... Dragon's cry?!

"Boom—!!!!!!!!!"

Time seemed to slow down countless times at this moment.

Under the terrified gazes of everyone inside the mountain gate.

That sonic wave lightly collided with the "Nine Heavens Profound Light Formation."

There was no stalemate.

No resistance.

"Pop."

Like a needle popping a balloon.

The protective Formation, claimed to withstand Soul Transformation attacks and be unbreakable for ten thousand years, didn't even last a second. It instantly split from the middle and then exploded, turning into a rain of golden light!

However.

This was only the beginning.

The sonic wave's momentum didn't decrease as it continued to push inward.

The first to be hit was the grand, hundred-zhang mountain gate made of "Nine Heavens White Jade."

"Crack..."

A tiny crack appeared on the mountain gate.

Immediately after.

"Rumble—!!!"

The entire mountain gate, along with the dozen or so main peaks behind it that pierced the clouds like swords, collapsed like castles made of sand under that terrifying sonic wave!

The mountains crumbled and the earth split!

Dust and smoke soared into the sky!

The scene was like the end of the world!

The power of a single roar.

The gate shattered, and the main peaks collapsed!

The entire Great Luo Sacred Land, the hegemon of the Eastern Wasteland for tens of thousands of years, was directly... roared into a state of paralysis!

The dust slowly settled.

The front of the mountain gate, which was once like a fairyland, had now turned into a massive ruin.

Da Huang's figure also returned to his Mutt form.

He wagged his tail, gave a yawn, and then looked back at the still-dazed Shi Tian. His dog eyes were full of disdain, as if saying, "Can you even do it, you weakling?"

Li Daoxuan stood with his hands behind his back, looking at the ruins before him and nodding in satisfaction.

"Not bad, the demolition efficiency is very high."

"Da Huang, you get two extra chicken legs tonight."

Just then.

In the distant sky, dozens of streaks of light were rushing here at a life-burning speed.

It was the Great Luo Holy Master and his group, hurrying back from the Hidden God Sect.

When they saw their own mountain gate turned into ruins.

Everyone was dumbfounded.

Especially the Great Luo Holy Master at the head.

He hovered in mid-air, looking at the ruins still emitting black smoke, and then at the few figures standing before the ruins, looking as relaxed as if they were strolling in a park.

"Pfft—"

He spat out a mouthful of old blood.

His vision went black, and his body swayed, nearly falling from the sky.

"My... my mountain gate... my home..."

"Who did this?!"

"Who on earth did this?!!"
