Swallowed Star: Lord of the Wolf

When the visualized Thunder Dragon Soul is strong enough, it can initially withstand the impact of its primordial will without collapsing. When the physical body is constructed with Thunder Stars strong enough to withstand its domineering power without disintegrating, then one can attempt to draw upon the origin of one's bloodline.

The most crucial part of the "Thunder Devouring Soul Suppressing Diagram" lies in guiding the cultivator's own will and the myriad thunder stars they construct to resonate deeply with the power of the Devouring World Thunder Dragon bloodline that enters their body.

Commanded by his own will and using the myriad thunder stars as a bridge, he attempted to guide and tame the raging devouring power, incorporating it into his own power system, rather than being devoured and assimilated by it!

The initial sign of the successful taming of the Hunyuan bloodline is the formation of the Chaos Membrane.

The chaotic light membrane flowing between the core dragon soul and the myriad thunder stars in the picture is the most core and exquisite part of the secret technique!

It symbolizes a state of being that one must comprehend in cultivating this method—the "boundary between devouring and transformation"!
One must maintain a strong barrier of will deep within one's soul, allowing the power of one's bloodline to permeate and nourish oneself while firmly preventing the pollution and erosion of one's primordial will.

This barrier is not formed by divine power or constructed by law, but is purely forged by the power of bloodline and the cultivator's own indestructible willpower!
It is both fragile, for it breaks easily once its will weakens, and resilient, for it is indestructible if its will is firm.

This is the key chain for controlling the bloodline of the Devouring Thunder Dragon!

After the flood of information had finished pouring in, the mysterious "Thunder Devouring Soul Suppressing Diagram" was clearly imprinted in the Blood Shadow Elder's sea of ​​consciousness, its operating mechanism and cultivation steps were clearly visible.

Lei Zhan saw the momentary shock and enlightenment in the Blood Shadow Elder's eyes and knew that the inheritance was complete.

His expression softened, and he instructed, "Blood Shadow, this secret technique is a foundational guide, but its dangers far exceed imagination! The secret records of the Elder Hall state that to attempt the first time to draw the bloodline's origin into the body for shallow tempering, one's mental will must at least reach the 'Second Level of the God King Realm'! Otherwise, the moment the bloodline is activated, the violent primordial will's impact is enough to instantly destroy the soul of someone who has not reached the Second Level of the God King Realm! Even if the will survives the impact by chance, the subsequent erosion is like a malignant tumor, difficult to eradicate. If one is not careful, one will be devoured and assimilated, turning into a monster that only knows destruction!"

He paused, then said wistfully, "If one wants to truly bear the power of this bloodline, not fear its backlash, and be able to wield the power of the Devouring World Thunder Dragon at will in battle, one's mental will... must reach the threshold of the 'Ultimate God King Realm'!"

"As for completely mastering it, making it as easy as an extension of one's own limb, and unleashing this bloodline power to its fullest potential, even surpassing its original limitations... one's will must transcend the 'Ultimate God-King Realm' and reach that legendary realm of will! Looking across the entire Origin Continent, those who can reach such a realm of will are extremely rare!"

Lei Zhan's eyes were filled with deep awe: "The Hunyuan Bloodline is a shortcut to heaven, but also an inescapable hell! Power and risk coexist, creation and destruction are of the same origin! You are exceptionally talented and have cultivated the Great Dao of Life to an unparalleled level, but the path is fraught with peril. I urge you to be extremely cautious! Do not be impatient for quick success! You must first hone your will to a sufficient level before proceeding slowly!"

He made no attempt to hide his concerns.

The Blood Shadow Elder remained silent, touched by Lei Zhan's concern and instructions. However, with his cheat system and the [Bloodline] entry, he was not afraid of the infinitely diluted Hunyuan Bloodline... Of course, this was something he could never say aloud; it was enough for him to know it himself.

The Purple Gold Edict is in the left hand, and the mystery of the Thunder Devouring Soul Diagram lies in the soul.

One is the key to unlock the treasure's door, and the other is the reins and whip to tame the ferocious beasts within.

The power of the Devouring Thunder Dragon's bloodline, like an ancient ferocious beast imprisoned in the Blood Prison of Ten Thousand Thunders, roared at him across space and scrolls, a roar filled with both allure and death.

His withered fingers gently caressed the leaping thunder runes on the sacred scroll, feeling the violent power contained within, enough to make even a god-king's heart tremble. Deep within his soul, the "Thunder Devouring Soul Suppressing Diagram" was slowly operating, and the phantom of the world-devouring thunder dragon soul outlined by the thunder runes at its core caused the stars of his visualized will to tremble slightly with each roar.

The threshold of willpower for the second level of the God-King Realm... is it merely the starting point for an attempt?
The ultimate will... is the foundation upon which it rests?
The ultimate control lies in the will of an emperor that surpasses even the absolute limit?

The requirements are so high that they are simply suffocating.

"Your Highness, rest assured." Xueyin's voice was still hoarse, but it contained a resolute strength. "This old man... will certainly live up to Your Highness's expectations, and will not fail the name of this bloodline. Xueyin will repay this debt."

Lei Zhan nodded heavily: "Alright! I won't bother you any longer. Once you're ready, activate the Holy Decree, and an envoy from the Hall of Elders will come to fetch you!"

The Blood-Hidden Elder nodded slightly, said no more, and turned to walk slowly back to the quiet room.

The heavy door closed silently.

Outside the door, Lei Zhan let out a long sigh of relief. Exhaustion washed over him like a tide, but his eyes were filled with excitement and anticipation.

He glanced at the tightly closed door of the meditation room, whispered a few words to Reber, and then turned to leave. He had been busy with the Blood Shadow matter recently and hadn't had time to digest what he had gained from the trial. Now that he had finally finished the matter and done it well, he also wanted to improve his strength.

Inside the door, Xueyin sat cross-legged.

Immerse your mind completely in the "Thunder Devouring Soul-Suppressing Diagram".

The first step is to visualize and construct the soul!

In the sea of ​​consciousness, the phantom of the surging river of will disappeared, replaced by that mysterious thunder and star map.

Blood Shadow's entire will, like the sharpest carving knife, condensed into a single, dazzling light, resolutely piercing the illusory soul of the World-Devouring Thunder Dragon, composed of thunder runes, in the picture!

"Roar--!"

As if traversing endless time and space, a terrifying roar filled with the will to devour all things and destroy with lightning exploded directly in the deepest part of Xueyin's soul.

That was not a sound, but the impact of pure will.

It originates from the natural contempt and destructive desire of primordial life towards life confined in a cage.

boom! ! !
The will points condensed by Blood Shadow trembled violently, like candlelight in a storm, dimming instantly, almost being completely crushed and swallowed by the violent roar.

A cold, greedy, and tyrannical will, like a maggot clinging to his bones, tried to erode him along the points of contact with his will, attempting to corrupt his mind and dismantle his resistance.

The will of Hunyuan is terrifying!
Even the bloodline essence in the visualization diagrams written by predecessors is so terrifying. I wonder how terrifying the impact on will be when one tames the bloodline.
"Desolation!" Blood Shadow murmured in his heart.

A surging river of will appeared, and the black waves representing the end of death suddenly shone brightly. A vast, pure will, seemingly capable of annihilating all things, acted like the strongest dam, instantly blocking the eroding torrent of primordial will.

The will of a first-level God-King is still sufficient to resist this visualization that only has a trace of divine essence.

Chi Chi Chi -!
The two forces of will collided violently and were annihilated.

The Primordial Will is violent and greedy, full of vitality and aggression, while the Desolate Will is cold and lifeless, carrying an indifferent indifference to end everything. The former is like magma trying to melt a dam, while the latter is like ancient, unmelting ice.

Stalemate, at a loss.

Blood Shadow's will was as if it carried billions of stars on its back; the impact of the roaring waves caused his consciousness to tremble constantly. But he held fast to his mind, his withered will like a pillar in the middle of a torrent, unmoved by the impact!
At the same time, the trajectory of constructing the myriad thunder stars in the "Thunder Devouring Soul Suppressing Diagram" flowed rapidly through his consciousness.

He diverted a sliver of his attention to try and draw upon the rich lightning power emanating from the Holy City's environment and the Chaos Lightning Crystal within the quiet room. Following the diagram, he was extremely slow and cautious in constructing the prototype of the first "Lightning Star" within his body... This was the first fortress against the erosion of the Chaos Will. Three months passed in the blink of an eye.

Inside the quiet room of Zi Lei Xuan, the Blood-Hidden Old Man sat motionless like a stone statue.

His aura was obscure and profound, like an ancient piece of lightning-struck wood weathered by time and having absorbed endless thunderbolts. On the surface of his skin, there would occasionally be fine, dragon-scale-like purplish-black lightning patterns that flashed by in an instant, yet they carried a chilling aura.

In the sea of ​​consciousness, the storm never ceased.

The core of the "Thunder Devouring Soul Suppressing Diagram"—the illusory soul of the World-Devouring Thunder Dragon—has not diminished in its ferocity despite being contemplated for three months. On the contrary, under the repeated impact and analysis of the Blood Hidden Will, it has revealed an even more bizarre and troublesome side.

The roar was no longer a simple destructive howl, but transformed into billions of tiny, seductive, and corrosive needles of thought, omnipresent and all-pervasive.

"Surrender... Devouring is eternity..."

"A lowly ant...daring to covet the power of a dragon..."

"Open your mind...embrace destruction...and you will gain the power to devour the heavens..."

Each piercing of his mind's needle was accompanied by a cold, greedy, and violent force, attempting to dismantle the dam built by the blood-hidden, desolate will and pollute his heart that yearned for the Dao.

However, after three months of tempering, Blood Shadow's will was no longer what it used to be.

The barrier of desolate will radiated a luster like ancient ice, cold, hard, and indifferent. The sharp needles of intent that eroded towards it, upon striking the barrier, were mostly frozen, shattered, and annihilated instantly, turning into dust that nourished the desolate will. A small number with exceptional penetrating power were rapidly decomposed and transformed by the desolate force flowing within the barrier, becoming energy that reinforced the barrier of will.

"Not enough!" Blood Shadow roared from the depths of his mind.

The desolate will is a shield, a fortress, but to truly tame this ferocious dragon, a more powerful weapon is needed, a "city" and "chains" that can support and transform it are required!
At the core of his dantian, a rice-grain-sized "Thunder Star" emanating a resolute light, was the result of his three months of arduous cultivation and the cornerstone of the entire vast star system.

Using stars as a foundation, drawing lightning to build a city!
With a thought, the Chaos Thunder Source Crystal, which had been dormant deep within the sleeve space, trembled slightly. A wisp of extremely pure purple lightning, containing the chaotic aura of creation, was quietly drawn out and precisely injected into the "star embryo" in the dantian along the meridians.

Om-!
The star embryo's radiance surged.

Like a thirsty sponge frantically absorbing water, it instantly absorbed all of this chaotic lightning power. The billions of runes that made up the star embryo seemed to come alive, and began to accelerate, recombine, and expand according to the mysterious trajectory shown in the picture.

scoff!

Countless tiny lightning bolts intertwined, spread, and outlined on the surface of the star embryo.

It is not a simple point of light, but an evolution into a complex, three-dimensional structure. The fine lightning runes are like precise gears, meshing and nesting with each other to build a layered three-dimensional framework.

Outside the framework, even smaller runes float and rotate like stardust, forming a kind of energy buffer zone like a star ring.

The first true "Thunder Star" is taking shape at a visible speed under the nourishment of the power of the Chaos Thunder Source Crystal!

It was no longer a grain of rice, but had expanded to the size of a pigeon egg. Its entire body was intricately constructed from countless purple-gold lightning runes, and its interior seemed to contain a miniature lightning nebula, slowly rotating.

The moment the lightning star formed, Xue Yin felt his entire body sink slightly, as if a miniature star had appeared inside him, bringing a strange sense of stability.

More importantly, when the primordial will of chaos, triggered by the visualization of the Thunder Dragon Soul, struck again from the outside world, the runes on the surface of this newly formed Thunder Star instantly lit up.

Although it was very weak... it was only the power of a single seed.

What if ten thousand lightning stars were linked together and exerted their power simultaneously?

I'm afraid this wisp of primordial will is no match for it!

"It works." Blood Shadow's heart leaped with joy.

A single lightning bolt can be a miniature fortress, a buffer zone.

Without pausing, his will, like that of a highly efficient workshop commander, began to operate the construction method of the "Thunder Devouring Soul Suppressing Diagram" with all his might. Within his dantian, the power of the Chaos Thunder Source Crystal was continuously and precisely drawn out, and strands of pure Chaos Thunder Power transformed into the highest quality "building materials," which were then transported to the various key nodes guided by the star map in his sea of ​​consciousness.

hum!hum!hum!
The dantian space, like the embryonic form of a vast universe, was illuminated.

The second, the third, the fourth... more and more thunder stars are being rapidly constructed!
They vary in size, location, and movement trajectory, which is mysterious and unpredictable.

Some are as hot and stable as stars, sitting at the center; some are like planets, orbiting and protecting; and some are like comets, their trajectories unpredictable...

The construction of each Thunder Star is accompanied by the absorption of the power of the Chaos Thunder Source Crystal.

Within Xueyin's body, the power of thunder surged, consumed, and condensed at an unprecedented speed.

His body seemed to have become a huge furnace, under the harmonization of the life force, enduring the repeated scouring and forging of violent lightning. The lightning aura contained in his muscles, bones and flesh became increasingly strong, faintly resonating with the lightning star system in his dantian.

As the number of thunder stars increased, a mysterious connection began to emerge between them.

Energy tracks composed of increasingly subtle lightning runes emerged and connected among the stars, forming an ever-expanding and increasingly complex three-dimensional lightning net. This lightning net covered the entire dantian and subtly spread towards the limbs, bones, and sea of ​​consciousness.

When the five thousandth Thunderstar, or half of the Thunderstars, is completed and successfully embedded into the StarNet node—

Rumble!
It felt as if some kind of qualitative change had occurred within my entire body.

All the lightning stars shone brightly at the same time, their energies flowing and resonating perfectly through the rune orbits, instantly filling Blood Shadow's entire body with an overwhelming sense of stable power.

The primordial will impacted by the visualization of the Thunder Dragon Soul struck the newly formed "Myriad Thunder Star Net," but it was like a gentle breeze brushing across a hill, causing only barely perceptible ripples on the surface of the star net before being completely dismantled, decomposed, and absorbed.

A robust buffering and conversion system is now in place!
This signifies that he has mastered the second step of the "Thunder Devouring Soul Suppressing Diagram," "Thunder Star Body Building"! (End of Chapter)
