Chapter 48: 30,000-Year-Old Dark Gold Terror Claw Bear
He gently inserted the Fragrant Qiluo Immortal Product into the soil, and a fresh, delicate fragrance immediately began to drift through the air. The scent was so refreshing that it made one feel at ease, as though all worries and ambitions had melted away.
> "Senior Dugu, please set up a basic poison formation within a one-kilometer radius," Davis said calmly.
"The strength of the poison should be enough to block thousand-year soul beasts, but let ten-thousand-year soul beasts pass through."
Hearing Davis's instructions, Dugu Bo was stunned for a moment.
> "That's not a problem, but my friend… what exactly are you planning? Why plant that fairy herb into the ground?"
> "To attract soul beasts, of course," Davis replied with a smile. "This herb is called the Fragrant Qiluo Immortal Product. It has two remarkable effects.
First, if held in one's hand, it grants complete immunity to all toxins—even if the body is soaked in poison.
Second, the scent it emits has a fatal allure for soul beasts. It can lure them in from great distances. Searching for a suitable beast blindly would be a waste of time."
Dugu Bo's eyes lit up.
> "What a clever method! Alright, wait here—I'll be back shortly."
With that, Dugu Bo turned into a streak of green light, releasing his Green Phosphorus Snake King martial spirit. His body transformed into a massive dark green serpent, spewing lethal venom toward a nearby boulder.
Hiss...
The venom was highly corrosive. The moment it made contact with the stone, the hard rock melted into a pool of goo.
As the venom evaporated, it turned into a toxic fog, spreading out to form a dense poison barrier over the one-kilometer area.
Now, they just needed to wait for the soul beasts to arrive.
> "Let's see which unfortunate soul beast takes the bait," Davis murmured, secretly hoping it would be the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger.

Awooo!
Roar!
Hiss!
Before long, numerous soul beasts appeared beyond the poison formation—Nether Wolves, Howling Sky Tigers, Mandragora Snakes, and Kings of the Earth—some of which Davis recognized, and others he didn't.
Unfortunately, they were all thousand-year-level soul beasts. They could only hover outside the poison fog and didn't dare enter.
The only ten-thousand-year soul beast that appeared was a Human-Faced Demon Spider. Davis couldn't help but wonder if it was the same one that would later fall victim to Tang San and become the unlucky fifth ring of the Clear Sky Hammer.
The Human-Faced Demon Spider broke into the poison formation and immediately locked eyes on the Fragrant Qiluo Immortal Product. Its eight eyes gleamed with greed—it clearly intended to kill Davis and steal the herb.
But the moment Davis released the White Tiger Domain, the oppressive might of the Supreme Beast Martial Spirit filled the air. The Demon Spider trembled and fled without hesitation.
Davis didn't even bother chasing such a pathetic soul beast.

An hour passed.
More soul beasts gathered near the poison formation, but very few were at the ten-thousand-year level. Either their cultivation was too low, or their attributes were incompatible. Davis didn't even spare them a glance.
He yawned lazily and frowned.
> "This won't do. At this rate, how long will it take to find a gold-type soul beast over ten thousand years?
Seems like I'll need to add a little something extra."
Davis walked up to the Fragrant Qiluo Immortal Product, activated his external soul bone, and made a cut on his arm. His blood dripped onto the herb.
Since he had previously taken the Qirong Tongtian Chrysanthemum and Earth Dragon Golden Melon, his blood now carried the scent of these two immortal herbs—favorites of gold-type soul beasts.
To a gold-attributed beast, Davis's blood was as tempting as honey.
Sure enough, another hour later...
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Thunderous footsteps approached. The ground shook violently with every step, sending tremors through the forest. The pressure was like a heartbeat echoing across the earth.
This beast was clearly no ordinary creature.
When the monster finally emerged, Davis saw it clearly—it was a Dark Gold Terror Claw Bear!
Its body gleamed gold, towering over ten meters tall, with two enormous claws that seemed capable of ripping the sky apart. It was far larger than the one Davis had slain before.
This was a 30,000-year-old Dark Gold Terror Claw Bear.
Despite technically being a ten-thousand-year beast, its power and defenses were strong enough to challenge even a hundred-thousand-year-level opponent.
Davis's gaze lit up. The bear exuded dense gold-type soul power—while not quite as refined as his Extreme Gold, it came very close.
> "If I absorb its soul ring, I'll definitely gain an extremely powerful offensive ability.
And if I'm lucky, maybe I'll even get a matching external soul bone…"
He glanced at his right hand—his right palm bone was already the external soul bone of a Dark Gold Terror Claw Bear. If he could acquire a matching one, his combat power would leap to a whole new level.
Having made up his mind, Davis said with a smile:
> "Senior Dugu, this is the one. Please help me subdue it."
While he could take the bear down himself, it would be a waste not to make use of the Titled Douluo-level powerhouse standing beside him.
Dugu Bo frowned slightly.
> "Are you sure? This bear has cultivated for over 30,000 years, but I can feel its strength is even greater than the average soul beast of that level.
Absorbing its soul ring will be extremely dangerous."
> "Haha! The bigger the waves, the more expensive the catch!
Risk and reward go hand in hand.
Don't worry, Senior—I know my limits. If it becomes too much, I'll stop."
> "Well… alright. I hope you succeed."
Dugu Bo sighed. With a flash of dazzling golden light, his seventh soul ring activated.
ROAR!!
He unleashed his Martial Soul True Body right away. Even for someone at his level, facing a soul beast like the Dark Gold Terror Claw Bear demanded full power.
Davis, meanwhile, quickly retrieved the Fragrant Qiluo Immortal Product. He couldn't afford to lose such a valuable treasure—it would be useful in the future.
"ROAR!"
The Dark Gold Terror Claw Bear let out a deafening roar. It was extremely intelligent—smart enough to understand that it needed to kill Dugu Bo if it wanted the herb.
And more than that... it could sense that Davis's blood would greatly enhance its cultivation. But to get to him, it had to deal with the serpent first.
The beast charged forward, shaking the ground with each thunderous step. Massive footprints were left behind as it ran.
Then it raised its massive bear claw and swiped!
A ferocious gale erupted, surging directly toward Dugu Bo like a raging storm.
Dugu Bo didn't dare meet it head-on. He swiftly maneuvered using the Green Phosphorus Snake King's agility, dodging at the last moment.
The wind blade narrowly missed him—and slammed into the forest behind instead.
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
The ancient trees couldn't withstand the impact. They shattered like toothpicks, and dust filled the air.
Seeing this, even Dugu Bo couldn't help but exclaim in shock:
> "What terrifying strength!"
