Chapter 132: Recognition
A giant dog paw formed in the enormous cave, causing some of the stone pillars placed nearby to collapse.
Little Black watched the massive paw print approach him, his eyes unmoving.
Roaring Moon narrowed his eyes at the sight, thinking, ’He looks good but is useless. Where did that aura go? Now he’s frozen in fear.’
But the next moment, just as his paw print reached within half a foot of Little Black, it was suddenly blocked by an invisible resistance. No matter how hard he tried, he couldn’t push it down even an inch.
Little Black looked at Roaring Moon and said,
"I truly didn’t expect Li Huang to be of such character, and his offspring are the same. Alas, there’s truly no hope; Heaven Dog Mountain in your hands is simply a disgrace."
As Little Black finished speaking, he also struck out with a paw, its power several times greater than the paw print Roaring Moon had just unleashed.
The paw print Roaring Moon had launched instantly vanished into nothingness. What followed was Little Black’s paw print.
As the paw print appeared, the entire Heaven Dog Mountain began to rumble.
In a secluded cave on Heaven Dog Mountain, a white dog with drooping eyebrows and an aura of death clinging to its entire body lay quietly on the ground. This white dog was the current ancestor of Heaven Dog Mountain, Little King.
Just now, the vibrations from Heaven Dog Mountain had awakened him from his dream.
"San’er, what happened?" Little King called out to the outside of the cave.
"Old Ancestor, I will go investigate and report back to you," a black dog replied. Soon after, it brought back news.
"Reporting to Old Ancestor, a mysterious outsider came to our clan today, and among them was someone who claimed to be Heaven Devouring Beast." Hearing the black dog’s report,
the white dog also said helplessly, "Such matters should be easily handled, shouldn’t they? Why is there such a big commotion? This Roaring Moon really gives me no peace of mind."
"Old Ancestor, I heard that besides the one impersonating Heaven Devouring Beast, there are also three humans," the black dog continued.
"Humans? This race hasn’t appeared in our Mystic Beast Realm for a very long time. Moreover, not only in our Mystic Beast Realm, but even looking at the Spirit Beast Realm, humans haven’t appeared for a long time. Now that they’ve appeared again, could something be about to happen?" Little King muttered to himself incessantly.
"Let’s go, let’s go see what exactly happened," Little King continued.
"Your body?" the black dog asked with concern.
"It’s nothing, I haven’t reached the point where I can’t walk,"
Little King said, his entire body surging with power. He was clearly already in the Tribulation Transcendence Realm, but only at the first layer. His aptitude was dull, and his lifespan was nearing its end. Although he lived here, he had lived longer than all other dogs; he was truly a living fossil.
Even though he was once under Little Black, he had already lived for a thousand years by then.
At the same time, in the central cave, Roaring Moon was directly sent flying by Little Black’s palm, leaving a huge imprint on the stone wall.
"Who exactly are you? How could you possess such strength?" Roaring Moon began to roar. Under Little Black’s claw just now, Roaring Moon had already felt death approaching.
He couldn’t believe that there was such a master in the Mystic Beast Realm. Ever since his father went to the Ascension Platform, the strongest in the Mystic Beast Realm were only at the first or second layer of the Tribulation Transcendence Realm. Roaring Moon had witnessed Little Black’s strength just now; he was at least at the fifth layer of the Tribulation Transcendence Realm or higher.
And hearing Roaring Moon question him again, Little Black was already impatient. He didn’t have that much time to waste with this junior. His purpose in coming here was to find his good brother Li Huang. He, Heaven Devouring Beast, was clear about grudges and would never let the grudges of the older generation affect the younger generation.
"Alright, I don’t want to say much more to you. I just want to ask, is your Old Ancestor Little King here? Call him out; I have something to discuss with him," Little Black continued.
However, Little Black said this not only to Roaring Moon; as he spoke, his head turned around. Little Black believed that if Little King was here, the vibration just now might draw him out. He really hadn’t seen a familiar face in a long time.
Just as Roaring Moon was about to retort, an old voice came from outside the door.
"No need to search, I’m here."
Then, under many gazes, a white dog slowly walked in from the doorway.
Little Black slowly turned his head to look at this familiar figure. Little King walked in and immediately saw Little Black. The moment he saw him, Little King froze.
How could this figure be so familiar? Isn’t this Heaven Devouring Beast?
"Are you looking for me?" Little King began to ask tentatively.
Little Black nodded and said, "How is it, Little King? You seem to have aged, have you forgotten me after a thousand years?"
Upon hearing this, Little King immediately staggered back a few steps, his eyes wide.
"Yo-you are the Devouring Heaven Leader?"
Roaring Moon, who was standing nearby, heard their Old Ancestor call an unknown black dog Leader and loudly said,
"Old Ancestor, don’t be deceived by him. He just impersonated my father’s brother and came to our Heaven Dog Mountain to commit violence."
But Little King didn’t listen to Roaring Moon at all; instead, his eyes were fixed on Little Black.
Little Black began to speak of past events that only he and Little King knew. Little King, standing by, became more and more excited as he listened. He had already confirmed that the one standing before him was the long-lost true master of Heaven Dog Mountain, Lord Devouring Heaven.
When Little Black finished speaking, Little King immediately prostrated himself on the ground and called out,
"You truly are the Devouring Heaven Leader. Your old subordinate Little King pays his respects."
Whether it was Roaring Moon or the other dogs of Heaven Dog Mountain present, their hearts were filled with shock when they heard this voice.
They knew there was a rumor that Heaven Devouring Beast had an older brother who disappeared a thousand years ago. At that time, their Lord Devouring Heaven had reached the Tribulation Transcendence Realm under his brother’s guidance.
Seeing Little King’s reaction and actions, a force from Little Black directly lifted Little King up.
"That’s right, I, Devouring Heaven, am back. Little King, you’ve gotten thin and old," Little Black said.
"Lord is still the same, never changed. Lord Devouring Heaven, please come with me. This is not the place to talk. Let’s go to my cave dwelling, and then I can tell you about the events of the past thousand years," Little King said.
Little Black also nodded. As for Wang Yufan, he followed along. This time, Wang Yufan intended to let Little Black take the lead and handle his own affairs before going to the Upper Realm. He didn’t feel it was appropriate to say anything here, as Little Black had been with him for a thousand years.
Protector Lan and Leader Roaring Moon watched them leave, both looking bewildered. Especially Roaring Moon, who kept thinking, ’Was that black dog just now really my uncle?’
