Above Destiny

Chapter 637 When disaster strikes, everyone goes their separate ways
Dead silence.

Everyone turned around in astonishment.

Unexpectedly, the commander of the garrison base in Tacheng, a powerful and influential figure in the empire, who once vied with the imperial duke for the throne... has now lost his life in the jaws of wolves in a single battle!
He didn't even leave behind a final message.

If an ordinary entropy system were to be hit by a white deer at close range, it would likely be severely injured even if it didn't die, let alone a mountain wolf known for its ferocious claws and teeth for hundreds of years.

I don't care about this or that.

Heavenly being?

It's not like we haven't killed before!
Thus, after the mountain of demon corpses, the celestial being Passarella perished!

Between his gleaming white teeth, blood, as molten as lava, meandered and seeped out, falling from the sky and transforming into a burning rain in mid-air, engulfing the earth in a sea of ​​fire.

Then, belated screams and roars spread from the flames, so mournful and piercing.

Having struck successfully, the mountain wolf did not press its advantage. Instead, it once again vanished into the shadows, disappearing without a trace, leaving only its hoarse laughter echoing in the wind.

Since the start of the war, the Forest Kingdom has almost fallen apart. The giant trees are riddled with cracks and teeter on the brink of collapse, as if they would be completely annihilated if kicked again.

It was precisely this state of near death that made everyone even more wary.

They even... began to retreat.

In this team fight, one corpse mountain and one Passarella died, with both sides losing one kill each, so the actual losses were roughly equal.

It's a one-for-one exchange, so you can force yourself not to lose out.

But actually?
We've lost so much money!!!
Don't forget, where exactly is this place!
Leaving aside Passarella's past identity, he is now a scapegoat, either seeking redress or awaiting trial, and his political life is almost completely over.

It is foreseeable that after the process is completed, the most likely outcome will be the removal from the position of duke or marquis and a humiliating resignation. At that time, it will not matter where he dies.

But before that, he was still the Duke of the Empire, the Empire's tool and weapon, and a celestial being blessed by the Earthly Ruler!

As a demon that has been around for hundreds of years, Corpse Mountain is an extremely rare White Pavilion demon, even rarer than Passarella. Not to mention, its corrupt vitality is almost as vast as mountains and seas.

At this moment, the representative of Tianyuan died under the claws of wolves, and the mountain of corpses collapsed in the surprise attack of the white deer. Both perished together in the forest kingdom.

It was almost like two massive sacrifices in succession, with each side using the Forest Kingdom as an altar, hunting and attacking as sacrifices, and finally offering up a huge harvest to the unborn wolf!
What it triggered... was the instinctive [plundering] of the third wolf demon that had not yet completed its metamorphosis!
In an instant, the pale giant tree was stained blood red, and countless scarlet blossoms withered in an instant. The cracked branches were now laden with juicy, abundant fruit!
Amidst the flowing crimson halo, eerie silhouettes shifted and changed within the fruit.

Even Ji Jue felt a wave of dizziness.

The black flames within his soul surged in bursts, and his wolf blood oath surged wildly, surged, and surged again!

This unexpected gift was so generous that it was abnormally large, making him uneasy.

Compared to the meager gifts that the other wolves received, which were merely a small, evenly distributed, hand of fire was like an unseen hand turning on a water valve and forcibly pouring the torrent of water from a fire hydrant into his mouth!
Even if Ji Jue has absolutely no connection with the third wolf, it won't matter how much he eats, as long as there's no feedback whatsoever.

It was as if someone was hiding in Shangri-La, doing everything they could to slow down the completion of the third wolf's metamorphosis!

Even if Ji Jue eats to his heart's content, how much can he eat?
Ultimately, it's just a drop in the ocean...

Amidst the waves of dizziness, what rises within is countless insights and understandings derived from the wolf.

If the common ground between Tianyuan and Bailu lies in "equality", then the origin of the birth of the tower and the wolf, and the source of their entanglement, lies in this almost essential "inequality"!
Unequal enslavement breeds tyrants; unequal hunting breeds wolves!

The deaths and fall of two demons and celestial beings were like a sudden shot of adrenaline, allowing the once crumbling Forest Kingdom to regain its brilliance and further catalyzing the transformation of the third wolf, enabling the Priest King to truly return from the brink of death!

In that instant, the withered corpse on the shattered giant tree twitched slightly.

It was as if I had been jolted awake from a nightmare.

What it stirred up was a frenzy that swept across the entire Kingdom of the Forest, no, it covered the entire White State!
A surge of blood-red light erupted from the giant tree, spreading in all directions and covering the night sky. Like a murky flow of blood, strands of crimson gathered, shining like stars, almost dripping into the mortal world.

Within the forest, amidst countless phantoms of dense woods appearing out of nowhere, in the deepest darkness, a chilling, clear bell rang out once more.

The Bone Wolf opened its eyes again, and in that brief moment, looked at the world of the living.

They gazed at the Empire and the Federation, which were once again closing in.

Unable to contain myself any longer, I am overwhelmed by endless resentment and hatred!
With just one glance, the vast forest kingdom was completely transformed into an evil realm, dispelling all benevolent power and suppressing all celestial laws, leaving no place for the White Deer's blessing.

As the aftershocks spread, the White Kingdom was thrown into turmoil. Every citizen of the White Kingdom entangled by the Wolf Blood Oath fell into a daze and madness, screaming in agony.

Some weaken rapidly, while others faint and become barely breathing.

At that moment, all the patients with blood thirst went completely mad, uncontrollably lunging at all living creatures around them, and in their wailing, they devoured each other.

The final boundary was crossed here.

No one could stop or delay it anymore, and there was no possibility of reversing it; the ceremony could no longer be interrupted.

From this moment on, the birth of the third wolf demon is almost a foregone conclusion!

At the military base in Tacheng, numerous natural disaster warnings appeared on a huge screen. In a somber and oppressive atmosphere, Fan Yun stood with his hands behind his back, quietly watching the blood-red color spread across the screen.

Suddenly, she let out a soft sigh.

A slight smile curved at the corners of his lips.

at last……
.
In the fleeting illusion, Ji Jue looked once again into the deepest part of the dense forest, into a dark expanse like a quagmire, where a ferocious and venomous wolf of bones lurked.

The wolf was also looking at him.

But his gaze passed through the insignificant Ji Jue and landed on Bai Bang, stained with blood. He stared at it blankly, as if he could no longer recognize his homeland.

On the rotting face, murky tears of blood trickled down.

It suddenly flew into a rage, struggling violently, causing the darkness to boil, the dark forest to tremble, and its frenzied roars and hysterical cries to everything.

It sounded like a mournful cry.

No one is listening anymore.

Within the forest, above the blood-red sky, the stars resembled the eyes of wolves.

Amidst the howl of the third wolf, Tong Shan's vision went black, he staggered, almost losing his balance, and thick blood seeped from his mouth and nose.

But soon, a hand pressed down on his shoulder, causing all the injuries to peel away and he to recover completely in a short time.

"At this point, this is all the recovery I can provide. The rest, just bear with it."

Amidst the ruins, Xu Ranshuang, whose body had been reconstructed, sighed softly, suppressing the deformities on her arms and face.

The aura of the White Pavilion brought by Corpse Mountain is highly poisonous to all Vortex systems. If you get even a tiny bit on it, you will probably never have a peaceful day in your life and will never be able to get rid of the White Pavilion's erosion.

Tong Shan smiled nonchalantly: "When did Sister Xu arrive?"

"What a coincidence, just now."

The ruins churned, and several staggering figures crawled out, their faces pale and their breathing disordered.

At the moment of the explosion, Xu Ranshuang did everything in her power to save more than ten members of the Security Bureau.

Without mentioning what had just happened, Xu Ranshuang looked up at the sky and suddenly said, "Don't hesitate, everyone, let's split up and go."

Xu Ranshuang glanced back and told Tong Shan, "They'll go east, you go west, and I'll take the main road."

The right path?

Should we take the route designated by the Security Bureau at this point?
That's not the right path at all.
It's clearly a dead end!
Tong Shan's expression changed slightly, and he was about to speak when he saw Xu Ranshuang's expression, which was neither a smile nor a frown.

"They're all clustered together, making them too conspicuous."

Xu Ranshuang glanced at him and said, "You're just a Tianyuan cultivator, do you think you can outlast the Vortex system? What if something changes? Can you escape?"

Tong Shan remained silent, speechless.

"Alright, let's go, let's go."

Xu Ranshuang laughed and waved her hand at the end: "Stop dawdling. It's like a life-or-death farewell. You're so long-winded. You're not even as good as that kid Ji Jue."

Ji Jue didn't speak, silently making the most of the time, quickly repairing the calf's exterior. Time was short.

"Oh, right."

Before parting, Xu Ranshuang turned back one last time to look at Tong Shan, and suddenly smiled mischievously: "Don't be too optimistic. That secret, once I come back alive, I'll make you pay for it for the rest of your life!"

"..."

Tong Shan sighed helplessly.

It's time to say goodbye, can't we say something serious?

Xu Ranshuang had already taken two steps back when she suddenly soared into the air, transforming into hundreds of pale giant birds that covered the sky and flew straight towards the front-line base.

Amidst the watchful eyes of numerous wild beasts in the distance, it brazenly exudes its own spiritual energy fluctuations and aura.

They made no attempt to conceal their self-destruction.

Under Xu Ranshuang's cover, the awakened members of the Security Bureau had already taken detours in batches, leaving the ruins and disappearing into the wilderness.

Even in such a rushed situation, they still demonstrated a high level of efficiency, with clear division of labor between forwards and defenders under the temporary organization.

Tongshan burned the logbook to the last, erasing all traces of them. Ashes mingled together, and flames rose throughout the ruins of the outpost, ushering in deathly silence.

The calves and horses, their faces completely altered, galloped westward, their thunderous roar attracting countless eyes. But gradually, their outlines became increasingly blurred, their images thinned, and they vanished into thin air.

Beneath the disguise of the blessed creations provided by Tongshan, the real calf and horse had already circled around and jumped into a turbulent, muddy river.

As the river flows, it drifts along with the silt and sand.

In the dim light, Ji Jue finally breathed a sigh of relief and turned around: "Brother Shan, is someone watching us?"

Tong Shan took out a map from his pocket. The patterns on the map kept changing, reflecting their location. In the upper right corner, an eye symbol was slightly open. After looking around, it closed as if it were half asleep.

Ji Jue was dumbfounded.

Unexpectedly, Tong Zhiwu's family is so wealthy; he casually pulls out a piece of equipment, which is a masterpiece of the Ether Path!

“We’re still within the Forest Kingdom’s perception range, but no one is specifically watching us anymore.” Tong Shan relaxed slightly, then became serious: “Wait…”

At that moment, his eyes opened slightly.

Trigger the sensor.

"Someone is trying to track us down!"

Tong Shan's expression quickly turned alert: "The target is very clear, it's aimed at..."

Before the words were even finished, the earth suddenly trembled.

In the distance, at the outpost, a terrifying flame, no less powerful than the eruption of Jin Wuyan, rose up.

Countless wreckage and ruins rose into the sky and then fell back down.

The raging flames turned the sky red, and bolts of lightning that leaked out once again reduced the entire outpost to scorched earth.

The loud bang and vibrations were still incredibly clear, even from such a great distance.

You could even faintly hear furious roars and howls...

"Ouch!"

Ji Jue exclaimed in surprise, "There really is one?"

In the Forest Kingdom's perception, another wave of feedback rushed in, so much so that Ji Jue couldn't figure out how many results the bombs he had planted before leaving had actually achieved.

Then, the eyes on the map closed again.

"Hmm, they probably aren't there now."

Ji Jue glanced at the map in Tong Zhiwu's hand and felt his not-so-clean little hands itching again, wanting to touch and examine them.

Unexpectedly, as soon as I got it, I saw that the eye on the map had opened again!
Unlike the previous emptiness, this one now showed suspicion and anger, with bloodshot veins all over it, as if it were furious, staring straight at me!

Not only that, with the help of the map and the wolf's senses, he was able to vaguely sense the malice of the other pursuer, which was so vicious and hateful that it was hard to express!

The eyes on the map opened and closed repeatedly, as if the other party was repeatedly urging the pursuit of the ether or the blessing of the corrupted lineage, searching for its traces. However, under the faint glow of the wristwatch and the interference of the Emperor's Hand, it was impossible to find any direction.

For a moment, Ji Jue was at a loss.

This near-impossible hatred and loathing... where did this enemy come from? Wait, do I actually have a living enemy?!
The heretical cult? Almost wiped out. Sheikhi? He can't even imagine himself. The bastards of Tacheng? Still dare to utter a sound? Surely it's not some ghost...

Wait, deep and secluded?!

Ji Jue tensed up instantly. Could it be that the damn Kanemoto had come to kill them?!
But he quickly realized that if it were Kengen, he would probably just open the workshop and suddenly appear out of nowhere, without all the trouble.

But no matter what, we need to hurry.

Looking back at the severely injured Tong Shan, the dejected An Ning, and the unconscious Ji Liu and Ji Xue... the Forest Kingdom is no longer a safe place. Taking a bunch of wounded people who are constantly on the verge of ICU and wandering around is simply courting death.

The situation has changed too quickly, and the trouble is getting bigger and bigger. The most urgent thing is to get them out of here first.

Unfortunately, such a crucial thing as a celestial orbit involves far too many aspects, and it cannot be used recklessly unless it is an extremely urgent situation, otherwise, why would it be so troublesome?

After a brief pause, Ji Jue's aura changed instantly, and a pure, stagnant, and putrid aura suddenly emerged.

Then, he pulled out a bunch of odds and ends and stuffed them into An Ning and Tong Shan's arms.

"Everyone, remember this: Shan-ge, you are now the tyrant's messenger; An-ning, you are a wolf in the mountains under the Wolf Lord; and I, I have hired your Deep Craftsmen."

Ji Jue said decisively, "From this moment on, we are members of the inner formation of the Wheel of Reincarnation under the jurisdiction of the Source of the Spring!"

"What the hell?"

Tong Shan was momentarily stunned, wanting to speak but unable to.

"May the Holy King protect me!"

Ji Jue had already changed into the high priest's uniform. He grinned and raised his hands: "Welcome back the saint, and let the heretical cult be great again!"

And so, after drifting along for more than ten miles, when the calves and horses finally crawled out of the river again, they were completely unrecognizable.

The eerie, rust-covered shell was adorned with various totems and emblems of great evil, and an aura of abyss and vortex, even purer than that of the heretical cult, rose up.

The newly formed anti-cult group seamlessly blended into the local atmosphere.

Keep going.

At this very moment, behind them, on the ruins of the outpost that had long since turned into scorched earth, there were severed limbs everywhere.

The surviving pursuers cried out incessantly, but soon they dared not utter a sound.

Hold your breath.

At the very center of the explosion, a figure, still covered in sparks, slowly emerged, clutching the soil that still held a trace of life.

"Wow, you run really fast..."

The middle-aged man with three strange eyes had a ferocious expression: "Tell Grudy that the little brat from the An family who was left alone, and the craftsman trained by that bitch, are most likely together!"
"Have him mobilize all the wolves in the vicinity and give chase!"

Soon, a mournful howl rang out, echoing across the dark wasteland, and the roaming wolf pack began to gallop again.

They discerned every trace, pursued every clue, and headed west towards the direction and passes leading to the front-line base.

Meanwhile, the calf and horse had once again ventured deep into the heart of the White State, making a large circle to the south before heading towards the Red State.

A federal frontline base?
No dogs go!
