Swallowed Star: Lord of the Wolf

At this moment, Lord Liekong was doing his best to maintain the Void Cage to strangle the Soul-Devouring Thunder Nightmare. Upon hearing Xueyin's command, he did not hesitate at all!

The old man's ability to dissolve the soul impact using the 'God King' technique had left him with no doubt about the old man's judgment.

"Break it for me!!!"

His eyes were almost burning with silver light. While maintaining the cage, he brought his right index and middle fingers together and thrust them sharply in the direction indicated by the Blood Shadow Elder.

This time, it's no longer an invisible line of spatial division.

Instead, it was a silver-gray sword aura, condensed to its extreme, seemingly compressed from billions of spatial fragments, and hundreds of feet long! On the sword aura, countless tiny spatial vortexes appeared and disappeared uncertainly, emanating a terrifying aura that could tear everything apart and banish all things.

"Thirteen Styles of Sky Rift, Twelfth Style - Dimensional Exile!"

Wherever the sword energy passed, all laws were torn apart.

The chaotic thunderous breath, the viscous spatial turbulence, and even the churning thunderous energy below were all easily pierced like fragile paper, and the sword energy pierced the turbulent core of that spatial node with unparalleled precision.

*Sizzle!*

This time, it was no longer the sound of tearing cloth, but rather as if the heavens and earth had been forcibly ripped open, a huge, deep spatial rift that stretched for hundreds of feet and whose edges were filled with chaotic spatial currents was forcibly torn open.

On the other side of the rift, there was an even denser, more destructive chaotic lightning, and towering lightning crystal mountains that were even larger and closer to the core area.

That is the shortcut to the deepest part of the core lightning domain!
The moment the spatial rift appeared, the immense pressure maintaining the void cage seemed to find an outlet. Lord Rift groaned, his face slightly pale, but his eyes shone with an astonishing brightness.

Become!

"Go!" Lei Zhan was overjoyed. He no longer cared about the monstrous beast's origin crystal core. He transformed into a condensed purple lightning bolt and was the first to shoot into the huge spatial rift.

The Blood-Hidden Elder followed closely behind.

Liekong Hou followed suit, and the instant his figure disappeared into the rift, he forcibly severed the maintenance of the void cage.

Boom! ! ! !
Freed from the constraints of spatial power, the Soul-Devouring Thunder Nightmare roared furiously. Its shattered body frantically reassembled itself. The destructive thunder ball lost its target and slammed into the thunder pool area where it had just been, creating a massive wave of thunderous magma.

The massive shockwave swept in all directions, sending the Bone Demon, which was trying to seize the lightning plasma, flying backward in a sorry state.

This sudden movement brought Lei Zhan's group to the edge of everyone's sight. Even with the eyesight of a Chaos Realm cultivator, they could only see three small black dots appearing near the center of the Thunder Punishment Abyss!

Lei Zhan, Xue Yin, and Lie Kong Hou disappeared like three shooting stars in an instant at the edge of the world deep within the spatial rift, where even more terrifying lightning surged.

Behind them, the massive spatial rift slowly closed, leaving only the furious roar of the Soul-Devouring Thunder Nightmare and the explosive burst of lightning, like a shameful mark branded in the eyes of all witnesses.

"What?!" The arrogance on the face of the eldest prince Lei Hao instantly froze, as if covered by ice.

He stared intently at the three figures that were almost disappearing at the edge of his vision, leaving only blurry black dots. A surge of fury at being completely outmaneuvered and an unprecedented sense of urgency exploded in his chest like magma.

"Damn it!" he roared, turning his head sharply.

However, it's too late!

The spatial rift that Rift Marquis cleaved open was not only a shortcut, but also a spark that ignited the powder keg on the outskirts of the entire abyss!

"You bastard!!!" The Fifth Prince's thunderous roar rang out almost simultaneously with Lei Hao's.

He watched helplessly as his crystal mountain, shimmering with iridescent light and of exceptional quality, was cracked all over by the aftershocks of Yan Luo and Yan Kui's attacks. Already burning with rage, he was now seeing Lei Zhan and the other two far ahead, heading straight for the core lightning domain. How could he possibly care about the crystal mountain anymore?!

"Get out of here! Blazing Melt, Heaven-Burning Refining Domain!!"

boom! ! !
Standing beside the Fifth Prince, a burly retainer, the Blazing Sovereign, whose entire body was shrouded in dark red flame armor and whose aura was like a volcano about to erupt, suddenly took a step forward.

He clenched his fists and slammed them down hard at Yanluo and Yan Kui, who were rushing towards the shattered crystal mountain.

In an instant, a dark red inferno with a diameter of a million miles descended from the sky, centered on his fists!

Within the purgatory, space was scorched and distorted, and countless giant pillars of magma rose up like cages, carrying terrifyingly high temperatures capable of incinerating everything. They instantly engulfed the unsuspecting Yanluo and Yankui. This was pure flame, intended to force them back rather than entangle them.

"Lei Xuan!"

"Thunder Ember!"

Lei Hao and Lei Li roared almost simultaneously, their gazes sweeping over the other two princes. At this moment, any quarrels between the princes, or any precautions against the Yanfeng Ancient Kingdom, were cast to the winds in the face of the ultimate goal: the Heart of Thunder Origin.

We must not allow Lei Zhan to gain the upper hand.

"Go!" The gentle smile on the Second Prince Lei Xuan's face vanished completely, replaced by endless coldness!
Without needing to say anything more, the starship beneath their feet burst forth with dazzling starlight, and the silver lightning patterns flowing along its hull instantly connected, transforming into a massive star trail of lightning.

"Shadow Assassin, cover the rear! Raging Waves, clear the way!"

"Yes, sir." Shadow King's voice was like a ghost, and the shadow of the starship instantly lengthened and wriggled, plunging into the churning thunder pool below like a living thing.

The next moment, several black blades composed of pure shadow and exuding a deadly curse aura silently pierced towards Feng Yingren Qingling and Qianji Sou Houtong, who were trying to bypass the battlefield and rush towards the next crystal mountain... They were blocked.

"Roar!!" The raging flames roared, and its already massive body expanded even further. The red color surrounding it was no longer red, but transformed into a violent, blazing white.

He stepped out of the starship, his enormous fist slamming into the chaotic spatial turbulence and several giant thunder flying fish attempting to intercept him.

"Raging seas and fiery waves, break through!"

Boom——! ! !
A deep blue pillar of flame, thousands of feet in diameter and containing boundless violent power, slammed into the chaotic area like a giant hammer that split the heavens.

The spatial turbulence was forcibly dispersed, and the several ferocious Thunder Flying Fish didn't even have time to scream before they were torn to pieces by the raging flames and annihilated by the purest lightning.

A relatively "clean" passage was forcibly carved out!
The starship transformed into a silver streak that tore through the lightning, hurtling along the path blasted open by the raging flames, hurtling towards the direction where Lei Zhan and the other two had disappeared at a speed exceeding all limits.

On the other side, the Sixth Prince Lei Jin reacted just as quickly. Almost the instant the spatial rift appeared, the last trace of hesitation in his eyes disappeared, leaving only a cold, burning flame of ambition.

At this point, he no longer cared about the alliance he had formed with Lei Zhan beforehand, and Lei Zhan did not inform him when he rushed forward through the spatial rift, clearly not taking him seriously.

"Huang'er!" he called out in a low voice.

Standing beside the chariot, Huang Wu's icy blue eyes instantly mingled with pure ice flames and blazing golden flames. She raised her slender hand and gently pressed it against the void in front of the jade chariot. "Ice Phoenix Silent Realm - Flame Sky Leap!"

Om-!
Beneath the chariot, a complex ice and flame magic array covering a radius of a thousand feet instantly lit up. The array was composed of countless mysterious ice crystal runes, but at its core, pure golden flames leaped.

At this moment, the two diametrically opposed forces of extreme cold and extreme heat achieved a perfect fusion and balance.

Immediately afterwards, space distorted violently!
The entire Xuanyu chariot, along with the lightning it carried, was instantly enveloped in an extremely rich ice-blue and golden-red light.

In the next instant, the light seemed to be sucked in by a single point, then suddenly collapsed and disappeared.

When it reappeared, the Xuanyu Chariot had already traversed an extremely long distance and appeared on a strange crystal mountain near the core of the abyss, its entire body burning with faint golden flames.

Its position, while not far behind Lei Zhan and his two companions, surpasses that of the Thunder Whirlwind Starship that the Raging Flame Lord had just opened up!
It was a short-distance spatial jump constructed using the ultimate power of ice and fire!

This move once again drew attention.

Even the Third Prince and the Fifth Prince, who were busy blasting away thunderous creatures and trying to clear a path, showed surprise in their eyes.

Huang Wu stood beside the chariot, her aura fluctuating slightly, clearly indicating that this leap had taken a considerable toll.

Lei Jin's eyes flashed with a sharp light, and without the slightest hesitation, he said, "Let's go, follow Fourth Brother!"

The jade chariot flashed again, transforming into streams of ice and fire, and chased after Lei Zhan.

"Stop them!!!" Lei Hao completely lost his temper, his eyes bloodshot!

He saw that Lei Xuan and Lei Jin had both used their abilities to forcefully break through the outer entanglements and were heading straight for the core. Meanwhile, he himself was still being held back by those two bastards from the Yanfeng Ancient Kingdom. The royal bloodline within him was burning wildly, and his body was erupting with dazzling purple lightning. The nine dragons pulling the chariot sensed their master's anger and let out painful roars, their bodies swelling up.

"Mysterious Yin! Miraculous Fortune! Clear the area for me!!!"

boom! ! !
Xuan Yin Niangniang also felt ashamed at this moment. Her pretty face was filled with murderous intent, and her jade arm was raised lightly. The terrifying Nine Nether Cold Qi was no longer limited to the frozen crystal mountain, but was like a surging cold tide, sweeping wildly in all directions from her center!

Wherever it passed, space froze, lightning energy solidified, and even the churning magma below was instantly covered with a layer of hard ice.

Click, click, click!
Yan Luo and Yan Kui, who were trapped in the Blazing Inferno, suddenly found their bodies covered with thick ice, causing them to freeze abruptly. This also slowed down the speed of the other powerful figures from the Yanfeng Ancient Kingdom who were trying to get closer to provide support.

"Hehe, Your Highness, please calm down. Good fortune... should be on our side now!" The Palace Master of Qiyun smiled mysteriously, and the Purple Gold Bell of Fortune in his hand shone brightly as he shook it violently.

Jingle Bell--!
This time, the ringing was no longer an invisible ripple, but transformed into clearly visible, distorted scarlet halos that spread rapidly like water ripples. Wherever the halos passed, the laws of space became even more chaotic and disordered, as if countless layers of "bad luck" had been forcibly superimposed.

The movements of the Yanfeng Ancient Kingdom experts, who were slightly slowed down by the Xuan Yin Cold Qi, and the several thunderous creatures that rushed over from the side, instantly became extremely comical and awkward.

A hapless peak-level Chaos Realm cultivator from the ancient Yanfeng Kingdom, Venerable Xuanyan, was about to use his earth-遁神通 (earth-遁神通, a magical ability to escape into the ground) to bypass the area of ​​cold air when the space beneath his feet suddenly collapsed strangely, trapping half of his body in a distorted spatial fold.

Another giant thunder roc pounced forward, and with a flap of its wings, several key feathers broke off without warning, causing it to lose its balance and plummet headfirst into the thunder pool below.

"Go!" Taking advantage of the brief chaos, Lei Hao unleashed the Nine-Dragon Chariot at an unprecedented speed, like a purple dragon breaking free of its shackles, crushing the frozen lightning creatures and chaotic spatial nodes along the way, and recklessly chasing after the core lightning domain.

The Fifth Prince, Lei Li, was not to be outdone. The Blazing Sovereign seized the opportunity to withdraw the Burning Heaven Refining Domain and escorted the chariot closely behind Lei Hao.

Yanlu roared angrily, shattering the solid ice on his body, but could only watch the princes' carriages drive away, venting his anger on the thunderous creatures around him affected by the "unlucky aura".

The outer perimeter of the abyss is in complete chaos!

The eight strongest teams from the Yanfeng Ancient Kingdom, who had been repeatedly forced to break through and even used as stepping stones, all looked extremely grim.

"Damn it! These Thunder Barbarians!" The Bone Demon Bone Ferocious scrambled up from the edge of the Thunder Pool in a sorry state, smashing his huge bone hammer into the frozen thunder magma, creating a large crater, and glared hatefully at the departing streak of light.

How can one swallow such an insult when prey that was almost within reach has flown away and has even been cleared away as an obstacle?

"Kumu, what do we do now?!" The lava on the surface of the lava giant Rock Giant's body churned violently, emitting scorching white steam, clearly indicating that its anger level was off the charts.

The withered face of the hermit was expressionless, but his cloudy old eyes gleamed with a chilling light.

He gently tapped the withered bamboo staff in his hand into the churning thunderous magma below, and the gray light at the tip of the staff spread out in circles like ripples on water.

"What's the rush?" his dry voice rang out. "The core Thunder Domain isn't so easy to enter. If we go there... things will go wrong. Lord Polu's order for us to hunt on the outskirts is the best course of action. However..."

A grotesque grin spread across his face. "Since they've all gone to the core area, then all those Chaos Thunder Source Crystals buried beneath this Thunder Pool are ours. Hehehehe~~~~"

The Chaos Thunder Source Crystal has always been controlled by the royal families of Yanfeng and Leiting. The Thunder Pool has always been mined by their own royal family members... Only during major trials and missions like this do these foreign guests have the opportunity to get a share.

Upon hearing this, the eyes of Gu Zheng, Yan Kui, and the others ignited with greed once more.

Yes, the core Thunder Domain is the battlefield for those royal princes. If they go there, they will only anger the opposing God-King. It would be better to take advantage of the chaos and seize more practical treasures in this relatively safe outer area!
"Fengying, Qianji! Go search for the scattered high-purity lightning source crystals! Yankui, Guzheng, the rest of you follow me... down!" The gray light in the eyes of the withered wood hermit shone brightly, and he pointed his withered bamboo staff downwards.

boom!
The deep purple lightning pool area below, whose lightning magma had not yet been completely calmed by the explosion of the Soul-Devouring Lightning Nightmare, began to churn violently once again.

A massive vortex, seemingly leading to the abyss of thunder, slowly took shape under the pull of the withered bamboo staff. A colder, more ancient, deathly aura, as if burying the remnants of an endless era of thunder, emanated from the depths of the vortex.

……

Deeper into the abyss, near the edge of the core lightning domain.

The raging lightning, like billions of wildly dancing whips of destruction, lashed at the viscous, solidified space.

The concentration of chaotic lightning energy here has reached an alarming level. Weaker Chaos Realm cultivators would likely be assimilated into lightning plasma in an instant. Spatial turbulence is no longer just simple folds, but has formed visible spatial fault zones, like shattered mirrors, radiating deadly cutting and banishing power.

The walls and barriers are faintly visible...

As soon as Lei Zhan, Xue Yin, and Lie Kong Hou rushed out of the spatial rift, they felt an unprecedented and terrifying pressure!
"Uh!"

Lei Zhan grunted. He only possessed the strength of the top level of the Chaos Realm. Even with the ability to briefly unleash his peak power thanks to the secret treasure, he was still the weakest of the three. As he transformed into lightning, his speed suddenly decreased by more than 30%. The surface of his purple-gold Thunder Punishment Armor crackled and groaned, with countless fine purple arcs of electricity leaping and resisting the omnipresent erosion.

He felt as if he were trapped in a swamp made of liquid lightning, and every inch he moved forward required a tremendous amount of divine power.

Here, the thunder was no longer his protection, but an obstacle.

On the contrary, Xue Yin and Lie Kong Hou, two powerful figures whose strength was firmly at its peak, each had a faint layer of protective divine power around them, thin but incredibly tough, like walking on a reef in the eye of a storm, unmoved by any winds from east, west, north, or south.
