Swallowed Star: Lord of the Wolf

Xu Yang's answer made Lord Ziyun overjoyed.

“Hahaha, don’t worry. If there’s any danger, I’ll be the first to take it. The fact that I was able to escape from it proves that it doesn’t have the strength to kill me.” The Purple Cloud Lord laughed, “Let’s spar. In terms of attack power alone, you’re even better than me. The burden of killing it later will be on you.”

After saying that, fearing that Xu Yang might misunderstand him, he continued, "Brothers should settle accounts clearly. This time, consider it my apology for hiding it from you. Later, we will split the spoils 40% to 60%, 40% for me and 60% for you."

Under normal circumstances, he should get the lion's share of the spoils, after all, he is the intelligence provider. However, for the sake of future cooperation, the Lord of Purple Cloud decided to suffer a small loss first.

"No need, just split it equally." Xu Yang didn't want to take advantage of this little thing. Not only did it go against his previous straightforward and generous personality, but also, after all, Lord Ziyun was not deceiving him. The little tricks that Lord Ziyun told him along the way were more than enough to take advantage of this.

The Lord of Purple Cloud wanted to say more, but when he saw the determination in Xu Yang's eyes and the slightly frowned brows, he said no more and drove the flying boat forward.

"Okay then, we'll be there soon."

The vast continent can be seen to be very far away at a glance, but this does not mean that there is no danger. From time to time, a column of scorching water rushes up from the continent below. The temperature is so high that even the space is burned to form a straight black crack.

It flew along the way, narrowly avoiding five sudden hot springs and traveled about 1,300 light years.

"Ziyun, is that it?" Xu Yang's voice suddenly sounded softly in the cabin.

"Yes, it's right below that rift."

Xu Yang narrowed his eyes slightly, and his gaze seemed to penetrate the soil layer to look under the cracks that were corroded and pitted. "Interesting."

The divine power began to operate slowly, and the patterns on the armor covering his entire body also quietly bloomed. Two sets of precious heavy hammers slammed on the metal ground with a bang, making a dull explosion.

"I'm ready. When do we start?" Xu Yang asked, holding the hammer handle with his two lower arms and moving the joints.

The Lord of Purple Cloud on the side obviously noticed Xu Yang's actions, and a murderous look flashed in his eyes. His thin and well-proportioned body leaned forward slightly, like a tiger pouncing on its prey, and his purple robe turned into a full body armor with only his eyes and mouth exposed as his divine power surged.

"Let me lure it out first!"

As he said, the Lord of Purple Cloud set off immediately, flying out at high speed, heading straight for the crack in the ground.

call out!
The speed of the Lord of Purple Cloud was extremely swift. He appeared above the crack in almost a flash. However, just as his figure rushed into the sky, Xu Yang raised his eyebrows, because at this moment, even he who was far away could sense a wave coming from under the crack like lightning.

boom!
In a flash, the crack trembled violently, and a thick smoke exploded. Then, a huge gray-white shadow rushed out from the smoke as fast as lightning, and then slammed into the Lord of Purple Cloud at a speed that Xu Yang could hardly see clearly.

boom!
"So fast?" Xu Yang frowned.

A muffled sound was heard, and the Lord of Purple Cloud flew backwards under Xu Yang's slightly solemn gaze. He stomped several times in the air in a panic, causing cracks in the air.

Dust filled the air, and then a huge shadow with scarlet eyes and the oppressive aura of a third-level strong man slowly appeared in the void far away from Xu Yang and the others.

"Roar!!!"

Xu Yang looked at the huge figure in the dust, his pupils shrank, "What a vicious beast!"

This is a giant beast that is about 500,000 kilometers in size. It is gray all over with strange patterns on it. It has a hyena-like body, but its head is a ferocious dragon head.

Its four hooves stepped on the void, like a guardian beast, protecting the crack behind it. Waves of ferocity continued to spread out and hit the void.

Even Xu Yang, who was over 40,000 kilometers tall, looked like a tiny dot in front of it. No wonder the Purple Cloud Lord was blown away so far by a single encounter. The Purple Cloud Lord, who only had a divine body of several thousand kilometers tall, had a huge difference in the total amount of divine bodies between the two.

Whoosh!
The Lord of Purple Cloud flew to Xu Yang's side and said in a deep voice: "How about it, do you want to try it?"

Xu Yang did not say anything, but stared closely at the evil beast. Its eyes were extremely dull, with seldom a light flashing in them, but faintly, there was a burst of evil aura emanating from them.

"beat!"

Xu Yang clenched the handle of the hammer and stepped forward fiercely, causing a loud explosion in the space. A powerful and violent torrent of divine power whistled out, carrying a heaviness as heavy as the stars, and fiercely slammed into the evil beast.

A powerful wave burst out, and the momentum frightened even the Lord of Purple Cloud.

"Roar!"

Looking at the overwhelming attack led by one man like an army of thousands, the evil beast suddenly roared to the sky, and huge gray-white energy swept out from its body, and then directly collided with Xu Yang's double hammers.

boom! ……boom! …

A low explosion sounded in the clear sky and earth, and waves swept across.

Thumb~thump~thump~
"Cough cough." Xu Yang also shot back, but there was excitement in his eyes. It was obvious that this close combat made his blood boil.

The Lord of Purple Cloud suddenly deviated the sword that was about to chop at the evil beast, and his body flew like a willow leaf. He pressed his palm on Xu Yang's back to help him absorb the impact.

"How is it?" asked the Lord of Purple Cloud with concern.

Xu Yang stood up again, looking forward with burning eyes: "Strong enough, I can kill you!"

The evil beast pushed Xu Yang back, and it was not feeling well either. Its powerful and heavy blunt attack was very good at hitting the target from a distance, breaking through defenses. Its ferocious dragon head shrank by two large pieces, and its scales burst open, revealing gray-white flesh, but evil energy was flowing in it, and no blood flowed out at all...

After all, the evil beast is not a life form of flesh and blood. It is an energy creature born from evil energy. Its flesh, blood, scales, and even appearance are just a form of expression.

A flash of joy flashed across the face of the Purple Cloud Lord, and then a fierce look appeared on his face, and he said with murderous intent: "Then kill me! I'll face you, and you wait for an opportunity to break my defense!"

call out!
At the moment when the beast's head shook, the Purple Cloud Lord's eyes suddenly lit up, and he rushed out almost instantly, holding the top-level sword "Long River" in his hand, like a galaxy falling from the sky, with an extremely sharp edge, slashing down domineeringly! "Roar!"

The evil beast is dull but not stupid. It still remembers what happened 70,000 epochs ago. It remembers that the long sword had caused it deep harm. Its skin and scales were cracked, and evil energy as surging as fog burst out. In the blink of an eye, a twisted shield formed in front of it, and it seemed that there were countless faces on it screaming with resentment.

"Damn it! Why do you use this trick right at the beginning?" The face of the Lord of Purple Cloud changed drastically, and his eyes showed horror.

He was almost killed by this move of the evil beast. This was not an ordinary move. Those poisonous screams could directly attack the soul and will, causing people to fall into confusion for a short period of time and become at the mercy of others.

"Dongshan, retreat quickly!" The Lord of Purple Cloud did not expect that the dumb beast would actually grow larger. He had to endure the backlash of his divine power and change his moves. The sword 'Changhe' that he was chopping with turned sideways. He endured the pain in his mind, enlarged the sword, and blocked it in front of him.

Sure enough, after the Lord of Purple Cloud did all this, the beast's hound-like body jumped out from behind the twisted shield, and its dragon head with its bloody mouth opened directly bit towards him.

The fishy and evil smell has already reached the nose of the Lord of Purple Cloud.

Just as the Lord of Purple Cloud was about to take the blow, with a loud bang, a huge black shadow smashed into the nose of the evil beast with a shrill explosion, causing it to sink another inch.

It turned out that Xu Yang, who was standing far away, threw out the heavy hammer in his right hand the moment the evil beast launched its attack, just enough to block the Lord of Purple Cloud for a moment.

It was only a moment, but it was enough for the Lord of the Universe to make the next reaction.

The Lord of Purple Cloud twisted his waist forcefully, cut a crack in the void behind him, and drilled into it. The next moment, he came out from the void billions of kilometers away, panting.

call out!
"Dongshan, are you okay?" The Purple Cloud Lord flew to Xu Yang with lingering fear, "Thank you for what you did just now, otherwise I would have been injured again."

"I was standing far away and was not affected." Xu Yang stared at the evil beast and said softly, "We are companions, there is no need to talk about this."

"Roar~~Ang~~~"

In the distance, the beast with its skin torn apart made sounds like dragon roars and dog barks, with a sense of sharpness and anger.

"Since you are not injured, continue attacking." Xu Yang stretched out his hand and the flying hammer returned to his hand.

Xu Yang and the Lord of Purple Cloud had a clear division of labor, one was in charge of the main attack while the other provided support as they besieged this third-level evil beast.

The Lord of Purple Cloud was agile, constantly moving around the evil beast, making sword flowers with the long river in his hand, looking for flaws, while Xu Yang, relying on his surging divine power and superb hammer skills, took the opportunity to bombard the evil beast again and again. Every attack made the evil beast's huge body pause and tremble.

Although this evil beast possesses the strength of a third-level warrior, it is not a true third-level warrior after all. It has strength but no corresponding intelligence.

It could only fight on instinct, using its special skill of twisting its shield back and forth to try to fend off the attacks of Xu Yang and the Purple Cloud Lord. However, as the battle continued, Xu Yang and the Purple Cloud Lord became more and more coordinated, and they were always able to cooperate with each other, accurately avoiding the resentful screams of the evil beast's shield and hitting its vital points.

The sword light of the Lord of Purple Cloud was like a river, hanging upside down in the sky, and each of Xu Yang's hammers contained terrifying power, as if it was going to smash the body of the evil beast into pieces.

As time went by, with the joint efforts of the two, the huge body of the evil beast gradually became riddled with holes, and its breath became weaker and weaker.

The evil beast seemed to be aware of its own danger. It roared angrily but refused to leave the gap behind it.

Finally, after no one knew how long, Xu Yang seized the opportunity, leaped up suddenly, grasped the sledgehammer tightly with both hands, gathered all his strength, and smashed it towards the top of the beast's head.

There was a deafening roar, and the huge body of the evil beast finally couldn't bear the fatal blow and collapsed to the ground. As the evil beast fell, a strong energy wave emanated from its body, which was the evil energy contained in its body dissipating.

Every time the evil beast used the twisted shield, it was actually consuming its own strength. Xu Yang and the other man kept luring it to use it, causing its strength to continue to decline, so that they could kill this third-level evil beast so easily.

Whoosh!
Xu Yang flew closer, looked at the corpse of the evil beast lying below, and said to the flying Purple Cloud Lord: "Is this corpse of the evil beast useful?"

The evil beast is also a divine life form, but it seems that its real core is not divine power, but evil energy. When there is too little evil energy in the body, its strength and breath will be greatly reduced, and in the end it will die directly.

"It's useless." The Lord of Purple Cloud shook his head. "Once this corpse is taken out of the floating island chain, it will turn into nothingness and dissipate. The genetic sequence in its body is also a complete mess. It is simply not something that a normal living creature can possess. I'm afraid that only a very mysterious place like the Universe Sea Danger Land can give birth to and accommodate such a monster."

Xu Yang felt a little regretful. This was at least a third-level corpse. It would have been nice even if it was framed and kept as a trophy, but in the end it turned out to be a pile of garbage.

The Purple Cloud Lord was familiar with the route and looked very excited as he flew towards the rift valley: "Let's go to the East Mountain. There must be treasures in places guarded by evil beasts."

It was also his first time to kill a third-level evil beast, and he was looking forward to it very much. He had killed second-level evil beasts several times before, and the places guarded by those second-level evil beasts were all buried with ordinary treasures. During one of them, he actually found a broken high-level treasure. It was not much damaged, so he could just ask a master to repair it and use it.

Not to mention that the drop rate in this kind of place is not as high as that of the Primordial Star, but there are more monks than porridge on the Primordial Star, and the entire Primordial Universe is scrambling for it. Even if the Lord of Purple Cloud wants to grab a good treasure in it, it is not easy... The most important thing is that the Primordial Star is only opened once in a very long time, while this Floating Island Chain is always open. The Lord of Purple Cloud has been here for millions of epochs and has never met other Lords of the Universe!
Wouldn’t it be great to have a precious place all to yourself?

Xu Yang moved and rushed out quickly. After a few flashes, he followed the Lord of Purple Cloud into the dark crack below.

It was extremely dark inside the crevice. The cliff was very wide and jagged. All kinds of dead plants were turned into specimens and stuck to the cliff. A kind of vicissitudes accumulated over the years, mixed with the breath left by the evil beast, surged in from all directions.

"what?"

The Purple Cloud Lord flying in front made a sound, then took a step forward and stretched out his hand to Xu Yang, "I found a little thing, maybe you will be interested."

Xu Yang stretched his head and saw that it was a crooked tree growing in the crack of the cliff. The trunk and branches were twisted as if they had been tortured, and the leaves on it were all yellow and pointed.

However, among the withered and yellow leaves, there are shriveled fruits that look like winter dates. At first glance, there are no less than a hundred of them.

"What kind of fruit is this?" After recalling the information in his mind and finding that there was no such thing, Xu Yang simply asked.

The Purple Cloud Lord did not keep the secret, and directly reached out and pulled off a fruit, playing with it and said with a smile: "Have you heard of the Ice and Fire Fruit?" (End of this chapter)
