Ancestral Wealth Inheritance System-Chapter 385: You Can’t Even Beat My Dog
The thick smoke dissipated, but Gu Yi still stood guard in front of Fang Jueyu like a towering presence. His clothes were a bit damaged, and there was a trace of blood at the corner of his mouth. This was the first time Fang Jueyu had seen Gu Yi injured for so long.
"Gu Yi, are you okay?" Fang Jueyu asked with concern as he tossed over a high-grade healing pill. He never hesitated to be generous with his own people.
"Young master, it's just a small injury, nothing serious. He's hurt much more than I am!" Gu Yi swallowed the pill, and moments later, the medicine took effect, restoring him to a vibrant state.
Just as he said, Ryukawa Sukio's condition could only be described as miserable. The Orochi behind him had only three heads left, and Ryukawa Sukio had turned into a bloody figure.
The injuries on his body weren't from the battle with Gu Yi, but from the collapse of his own body.
Ryukawa Sukio was in dire straits, but his face still wore a sinister smile. Dense black mist spread out, and the shadow of the Orochi behind him once again returned to a state of having eight heads.
The power of this Orochi had likely already reached above the mid-level of a Divine Ability User, otherwise, there couldn't be such dense energy in the divine core.
"Host, you can't increase your power any further. Your body can't hold on," said "You Xing" with a flustered tone.
"I want to kill him!" Ryukawa Sukio had been blinded by jealousy and anger, but now, the only slim chance of survival was to kill Fang Jueyu.
"You Xing" seemed to want to persuade him further, but there truly was no other option.
"Young master, this young man is too strange. Just in case, you should have the mistress send a few more people over, or have the mistress come in person."
The "mistress" Gu Yi referred to was naturally his father's woman, Zhuang Xinyan. After all, Fang Huai had also practiced that lecherous dual Cultivation Technique, and every one of his women was above a Divine Ability User. Any one of them could easily crush Ryukawa Sukio.
"It's unnecessary. My stepmother is a woman, after all, she needs her beauty sleep. It's not worth disturbing her over this small matter," Fang Jueyu waved his hand.
"But young master..." Gu Yi was a bit anxious now. This matter clearly had already surpassed the limits of his control. Aside from the power of Fang Jueyu's family, so far, no one on Earth had emerged with power nearing that of a Divine Ability User.
Ryukawa Sukio's power was still climbing, even nearing that of a Divine Ability User. Although his state wouldn't last long, it was still filled with threat.
"Don't worry. When have I ever done anything without confidence?" Fang Jueyu patted the dust off his body. "Gu Yi, take a rest. Leave the rest to me."
"Ergouzi!"
"Woof, woof!" Upon hearing Fang Jueyu's call, Ergouzi perked up and wagged its tail vigorously.
"Ergouzi, bite him to death. Don't give me any face!"
"Young master!" Gu Yi couldn't hold back. It's true that Ergouzi had some skills, but it was just agile and sturdy, not necessarily good at fighting.
"Don't underestimate it. It's not an ordinary dog." Fang Jueyu waved his hand. "Watch its performance!"

"A dog?" Ryukawa Sukio looked incredulously at the black dog. He initially thought Fang Jueyu was about to reveal some trump card, but it seemed he wanted this dog to fight him? Was he insane?
"Hahaha! Fang Jueyu, is a dog all that your family's five thousand years of foundation amounts to? Or have all your elders left Earth, leaving you with nothing but a few Source Energy User bodyguards?"
"Idiot, you think it's just a dog?" He knew that Ergouzi was just lazy. He couldn't even see its current level, and even Xiao Yi couldn't detect it. But after spending nearly a year in the Super God Academy with the Heavenly Barking Dog, could it be a useless dog?
"Host, that dog seems a bit off!" "You Xing" echoed in Ryukawa Sukio's ear.
"Off? It's just a dog. I could crush it with one foot!"
Eight enormous heads lunged toward Ergouzi, but that small half-meter-high body wasn't even enough for the Orochi to get stuck in its teeth.
"Ryukawa Sukio, you might not believe it if I tell you, but there's a chance you can't even beat my dog."
"Idiot!" Ryukawa Sukio had no more patience to waste words with Fang Jueyu. The speed of those eight heads suddenly surged, as if to tear it apart.
However, the scene of blood and gore didn't occur. The heads stopped just half a meter away from Ergouzi. Those pairs of green eyes actually showed an expression of fear.
"What's going on?" Ryukawa Sukio was amazed to discover that he had lost control over this power!
Although the Orochi had been dead for who knows how many years, a sliver of instinct seemed to remain in the divine core. This instinct clearly transmitted to Ryukawa Sukio, and he could feel it, the power was actually afraid of this black dog in front of it!
"Awooo!" Ergouzi let out a low growl, its eyes glowing with an eerie purple light, a breath of ancient fierce beast emanating from its body.
"This aura... impossible! How could such a thing appear on such a barren planet? Absolutely impossible!" "You Xing" screamed hysterically, as if it had seen the most terrifying thing in the world.
"You Xing, what's going on?" Besides knowing there was a top-level civilization's intelligent system on Fang Jueyu, this was the most exaggerated reaction from "You Xing" so far.
No, even at that time, it hadn't been this panicked.
"Host, it's a Soul-devouring Beast! A Soul-devouring Beast! Run!" "You Xing" shouted.
"Trying to run? It's too late!" Fang Jueyu sneered.
Ever since Ergouzi had shown its terrifying power last time, Fang Jueyu made a special effort to research information about the Soul-devouring Beast.
The Soul-devouring Beast was a shapeless creature whose appearance depended on where it was born. On Earth, a Soul-devouring Beast would take on the appearance of Earth's creatures, which could be a cat, a rabbit, a dog, or even a pig.
But outward appearances were deceiving, and this didn't change the fact that the Soul-devouring Beast was at the top of the food chain among Cosmic Beasts!
A full-grown Soul-devouring Beast could definitely reach the Peak of Controller level, and over 80% of Soul-devouring Beasts, if they didn't fall, would become Transcenders. This was a difference in the level of life itself!
Although Ergouzi was far from adulthood, and could be said to be in its infancy, with Fang Jueyu's massive supply of pills, it should have reached the level of a Source Energy User.
But this type of creature, even with natural growth, had the ability to easily fight across levels, let alone one that had studied for a while at the War Academy like Ergouzi.
"Awooo!" Ergouzi roared again. The black mist forming the shadow of the Orochi desperately surged into Ryukawa Sukio's body, as if fleeing from something. This pressure from soul and bloodline, even though the divine core of the Orochi retained only instinct, was still unstoppable.
Seeing the unfavorable situation, Ryukawa Sukio immediately had thoughts of escape. He didn't dare think about treasures from the universe or top-level civilization's intelligent systems anymore.
But the nature of Ergouzi had already been activated. Now, trying to run was too late.
A massive purple shadow over five hundred feet tall emerged from behind Ergouzi. Although it still had the form of a dog, it was now adorned with horns and a pair of giant wings, with an imposing presence that blocked out the sun and sky.
"Host, this is the true form of the Soul-devouring Beast!"
"I see now..." Fang Jueyu watched in shock as that divine demon-like body opened its massive mouth and swallowed the incarnation of the Orochi, along with Ryukawa Sukio.
