Swallowed Star: Lord of the Wolf

"Sky Rift! Blood Concealment!" Lei Zhan's heart pounded wildly, the veins on his hand gripping the Thunder Source Heart bulged, and he roared fiercely.

He retreated instantly, trying to create distance, while frantically activating the Thunder Punishment Armor to protect himself, forming a thick cocoon of light with purple-gold lightning.

Marquis Liekong's expression was extremely solemn. Without any hesitation, the Void Sword Box behind him emitted a high-pitched hum, and countless condensed silver-gray spatial blades spread out like the wings of a peacock, layer upon layer, surrounding Lei Zhan and forming a spatial domain that was constantly cutting and twisting.

"Void Sword Domain - Thousand Edge Wall!"

Lei Zhan's roar echoed amidst the raging energy turbulence, filled with anticipation. The Void Sword Domain of the Rift Void Marquis had already unfolded; the silver-gray spatial blades, like loyal guardians, circled around him, cutting through the viscous killing intent and energy turbulence, creating space for Lei Zhan to maneuver.

However, the deadly trap of the siege has already been set!

Lei Hao, Lei Jin, Lei Jun, Lei Li, and Lei Xuan, the five princes and their subordinates who were at the peak of the Chaos Realm, were like a group of sharks that had smelled blood. All their killing intent and power were locked onto Lei Zhan, and even more so onto the Thunder Source Heart that he held in his palm like a hot iron.

The cold light in Xuan Yin Niangniang's eyes was like ice spikes. With a light flick of her jade fingers, nine "Xuan Yin Ice Soul Needles" that had been condensed to the extreme tore through the void and pointed directly at the void sword domain set up by Lie Kong Hou. She wanted to break through this annoying tortoise shell.

The Palace Master of Qiyun chuckled sinisterly, and the Purple Gold Bell of Fortune surged with purple light. An invisible halo of bad luck, like a leech, silently enveloped Lei Zhan and Lie Konghou, interfering with their divine power and distorting their spatial perception, attempting to create a fatal flaw in Lie Konghou's sword domain.

Although the Flame Lord of Raging Waves was unsteady due to his injuries, the fierce light in his eyes was even stronger at this moment. He took a deep breath, and the deep red flames around his body instantly subsided and condensed in his fists, like a volcano about to erupt.

As soon as the sword domain is broken, his fiery fist will shatter Lei Zhan's defenses immediately.

Lei Jin, Lei Jun, Lei Li, and others also used various methods, such as sealing off space or gathering killing moves, to weave an invisible net to completely annihilate Lei Zhan.

Whoever obtains the Heart of Thunder will become the target of everyone's hatred!
Cold sweat beaded on the forehead of the Marquis of Rift. Under the precise strikes of the Profound Yin Ice Soul Needles and the continuous interference of the Palace Master of Miracle Fortune's aura of bad luck, the Void Sword Domain trembled violently and emitted a hum that could not bear the burden.

Fine cracks kept appearing on the barrier formed by spatial blades, which were then desperately repaired by the Rift Lord.

He was like a small boat navigating a raging storm, which could capsize at any moment!

Lei Zhan's heart sank to the bottom, and his knuckles turned white from gripping the Thunder Source Heart too tightly.

The Void Sword Domain was already teetering on the brink of collapse. Once it shattered, he would face the combined attack of nearly ten peak Chaos Realm experts. Despair clung to his heart like icy vines.

At that critical moment, when the Void Sword Domain was about to collapse—

The Blood Elder, who had been standing quietly on the edge as if he were about to be forgotten, finally raised his turbid eyes.

There was no earth-shattering burst of energy.

There were no earth-shattering energy fluctuations.

Only an indescribable, ancient, desolate, and all-encompassing will, encompassing the life and death of all things, silently spread out, like the eyes of a sleeping abyss opening.

This will was not directed at anyone, yet it caused all the princes and their retainers, who were frantically gathering killing intent and activating divine power, to suddenly feel a jolt in their hearts.

It felt as if an invisible, icy giant hand had gripped his heart, causing even the circulation of his divine power to slow down for a moment!

"Hmm?" The Xuan Yin Ice Soul Needle at the tip of Xuan Yin Niangniang's finger trembled slightly.

"?!" The sinister smile on the face of the Palace Master of Qiyun froze.

The restrained flame aura of the Raging Flame Lord showed a slight disturbance...

Blood Shadow's withered figure appeared incredibly tall and profound in everyone's eyes at this moment!
In the murky eyes of the Blood-Hidden Elder, the slowly rotating phantom of the sea of ​​blood suddenly accelerated. Within the crimson color, it seemed as if the birth and death of countless worlds, the rise and fall of civilizations, and the withering and flourishing of life were rapidly flowing.

His withered lips moved slightly, and his hoarse voice seemed to travel through endless time and space, clearly resounding in everyone's ears, carrying a calm that controlled everything: "The cycle of flourishing and decay, the three bodies... return to the origin."

The moment the words fell, something strange happened!

……

Originating from the continent, in the easternmost region.

In the realm of the White Mysterious Gods, in a secluded and quiet room.

The white jade clone, sitting cross-legged and shrouded in pure, dark light, which seemed to carry the aura of endless death and end, suddenly became illusory.

He slowly raised his head, looking in the direction of the Blood Shadow Clone. A dark glint flashed in his eyes, and then his entire figure disappeared instantly, as if erased by an eraser.

In its place, only a strange particle, the size of a grain of rice, completely black, with what seemed to be endless swirling stars within, exuding a profound sense of desolation and the Daoist aura of the end of reincarnation remained...

The particles are suspended in the cold air, motionless, like an eternal coordinate anchor point.

……

Originating on the continent of Xuanhu City.

The ancient ghost clone, seated cross-legged in the city lord's secret chamber, slowly opened its eyes, which contained endless vitality.

He also looked towards the direction of the Holy City where the Blood Shadow Clone was located, revealing an indescribable smile that seemed to understand all cause and effect.

Immediately, the figure vanished like a bubble.

In the same spot, a strange particle, the size of a grain of rice, smooth and warm like jade, teeming with life, containing the grandeur of creation and the Daoist principles of the origin of life, was also left behind.

The particles emitted a soft glow and floated silently.

……

Within the Thunder Punishment Abyss, the Blood-Hidden Elder.

The moment he uttered the words "Return to Origin," his withered body shuddered violently!
boom--! ! !
An indescribable, terrifying aura, surpassing even the Chaos Realm, erupted like an ancient volcano that had been dormant for countless eons.

Centered on him, the entire void, and even the churning sea of ​​deathly thunderclouds below, trembled and wailed violently.

Space is no longer distorted, but forcibly solidified and frozen.

Time seemed to lose its meaning at this moment!

The raging thunderous origin, the chaotic deathly energy, and all the overflowing divine power and killing intent were as insignificant and fragile as dust in the face of this aura.

The Blood-Hidden Elder's originally withered body rapidly expanded and solidified as if inflated.

His withered skin became plump and smooth, like newly born jade, yet it exuded an ancient and weathered charm. His hunched back straightened, as if supporting the entire sky. His turbid eyes transformed into two swirling, boundless vortexes of blood, reflecting the endless cycle of life and death, decay and prosperity!
His aura surged wildly, as if it were on a rocket!
The barrier of the peak of the Chaos Realm was easily pierced like a thin sheet of paper, and a terrifying pressure that transcended the chaos, carrying a trace of immortality and eternity, as if it were a universe itself, descended with a roar!

The Chaotic Realm...Transcendence!
Comparable to a god-king!

"Transcendence...Transcendence Realm?! Impossible!!!" Xuan Yin Niangniang screamed, her beautiful face, frozen for ten thousand years, revealing undisguised shock and fear for the first time. She felt her proud Nine Netherworld Cold Qi tremble before this pressure, as if facing a natural enemy.

"God... God-King level?!" The sinister smile on the face of the Palace Master of Qiyun Palace froze completely, turning into endless terror. The Fortune-Stealing Purple Gold Bell in his hand trembled wildly, but he couldn't even make a sound, as it was suppressed by the absolute pressure.

The aura of bad luck instantly collapsed and dissipated.

The raging flames of the Flame Lord, which had been condensed into the Furious God's Fist, deflated like a punctured balloon. The deep red flames were extinguished instantly, and his burly body trembled uncontrollably. His eyes were filled with disbelief. His proud flames were like a candle flickering in the wind in the face of this aura!

The five princes, Lei Hao, Lei Jin, Lei Jun, Lei Li, and Lei Xuan, were struck as if by lightning.

This is an absolute difference!

Lei Zhan's mind went completely blank. He even forgot to tighten his grip on the Thunder Source Heart, only boundless shock and... an uncontrollable surge of joy remained!

He always knew Xue Yin was strong, but he never imagined he was this strong!

Transcendence!
Comparable to a god-king!

This isn't just a guest advisor; this is practically an ancestor!

Especially at this moment, if Lei Zhan were to call Xue Yin Ancestor, he probably wouldn't hesitate for a second.

"Domain... Blood Sea of ​​Withering and Flourishing."

The Blood-Hidden Elder, or rather, the being who had already displayed the power of the Transcendent Realm, spoke again with a calm and indifferent voice.

As he spoke, an indescribable "scene" instantly replaced the surrounding collapsing crystal mountains, chaotic void, and churning thunderclouds, centered on him.

Covering a billion miles!
A vast and boundless strange world composed of an endless sea of ​​blood!

The Sea of ​​Blood is not filthy, but rather presents a deep, ancient, and all-encompassing dark red hue, like congealed cosmic blood. Above the Sea of ​​Blood, enormous, star-like skeletons float and sink, withered divine trees that blot out the sky take root in the Sea of ​​Blood to draw nourishment, and countless green islands composed of pure living organisms dot the landscape. The islands are covered with blooming flowers, yet they wither and turn to stagnation in an instant, only to bloom again on the skeletons... Life and death, decay and prosperity, reach their ultimate fusion and cycle here.

The core of the laws governing this world is that figure standing at the center—Blood Shadow!
This is not an illusion, but a real realm, a world forcibly opened and controlled by Xueyin's own Great Dao Laws!

Boom! ! !

The moment the Blood Sea Realm of Withering and Flourishing descended, the nine Xuan Yin Ice Soul Needles of the Xuan Yin Lady, which were powerful enough to freeze the soul, disappeared into the Blood Sea without a sound, like a mud ox entering the sea, without even causing a ripple.

The Palace Master of Miracles's aura of bad luck completely failed. He was struck as if by an invisible giant hammer. Due to the backlash, he coughed up a mouthful of blood, his aura instantly weakened, and he looked at the surrounding area in horror.

Nu Tao Yan Jun and the others felt that their own Dao Laws were being forcibly suppressed and distorted. Their proud power was as if it had been stripped of its foundation in this domain, and they could not exert even one-tenth of its full potential.

Like an ordinary person falling into the deep sea, suffocating and powerless.

“You harbor the deepest hatred for me.” The Blood-Hidden Elder looked around and immediately spotted the Mysterious Yin Lady.

"Do not--!"

Xuan Yin Niangniang immediately let out a horrified scream. She felt an irresistible force of desolation eroding her. Her Nine Nether Frost Origin, her divine body, and her divine soul were all aging and withering at a visible speed.

"Mysterious Yin Undying Body!" She frantically burned her source energy in an attempt to resist.

But in the Blood Sea of ​​Life and Death, her resistance was like a mantis trying to stop a chariot.

The Blood-Hidden Elder's eyes, like a whirlpool of blood, swept over her indifferently. "Withered."

He uttered just one word.

Wow——!
The Nine Nether Ice Barrier that Xuan Yin Niangniang desperately maintained shattered inch by inch like fragile glass. Her proud divine body, which she claimed would last for ten thousand years, rapidly withered, dried up, and weathered away, starting from her fingertips, revealing stark white bones.

This desolate power ignores defenses and targets the very source of life!

Her screams stopped abruptly, leaving only boundless fear and despair in her eyes. In the blink of an eye, her entire body turned into a desiccated corpse sitting cross-legged on a sea of ​​blood, and was then completely swallowed up by the surging waves of blood, leaving not a trace behind.

The true form of the Xuan Yin Lady, a peak Chaos Realm expert who dominated the origins and was renowned throughout the continent, was thus... completely annihilated, body and soul!
An old-timer like Lady Xuanyin, a Chaos Realm expert, would definitely have ways to protect herself. However, the fall of her most refined and treasure-filled true body would severely damage her vital energy, causing her to lose everything she had accumulated over countless years!
"Run!!!" The Palace Master of Qiyun was terrified, with no sliver of hope left. He did not want his years of accumulation to go to waste.

Suddenly, he crushed the Fortune-Stealing Purple-Gold Bell in his hand, detonating this top-tier treasure in an attempt to create chaos and escape.

hum!
The Purple Gold Bell burst forth with dazzling light, and a chaotic force that distorts space and interferes with cause and effect was about to erupt.

The Blood Shadow Venerable shifted his gaze slightly, landing on him.

"Honor".

Another word.

To the horror of the Palace Master of Qiyun, the chaotic power that was about to erupt was instantly enveloped by countless life forms... As a result, the Purple Gold Bell not only did not explode, but instead emitted an unprecedented, gentle and pure purple gold light!
A powerful, uncontrollable surge of vitality, like a flood bursting its banks, rushed wildly into his body.

"No! Stop! Ahhh—!" The Palace Master of Qiyun Palace let out a shrill, distorted scream.

His body swelled wildly as if inflated, his skin stretched until it became transparent, and his blood vessels bulged like earthworms. His divine body, at the peak of the Chaos Realm, simply could not withstand such a massive and unrestrained infusion of life essence.

A few breaths.

boom--!
A muffled thud, like a ripe watermelon bursting open.

The entire Lord of Qiyun Palace, along with the Fortune-Stealing Purple-Gold Bell in his hand, was completely burst apart by the out-of-control, boundless vitality, transforming into a strange blood mist that rapidly bloomed and withered away above the sea of ​​blood.

The second peak Chaos Realm expert, the Palace Master of Miracle Fortune, has perished in his true form!

The eldest prince, Lei Hao, was completely dumbfounded. His two peak Chaos Realm subordinates, his greatest reliance in the struggle, were killed in the blink of an eye.

Dead!

Absolute silence enveloped the Blood Sea Realm of Withering and Flourishing!

The raging flames, the shadow-killing king... all the remaining offerings, including the princes, were all frozen in place, their bodies ice-cold, their souls frozen, and they even forgot to breathe.

In the blink of an eye, two top experts were crushed to death like ants.

One withered and died, the other flourished and exploded!
What an incomprehensible yet despair-inducing force this is...

Looking at the withered bones and fallen petals floating in the sea of ​​blood, Lei Zhan's hand holding the Heart of Thunder Source stopped trembling.

With such a powerful backer, who can possibly defeat him in this trial?! (End of Chapter)
