Swallowed Star: Lord of the Wolf

The two Xuanhu Guards chatted as they flew.

“That’s true.” Yan Xiao nodded, then changed the subject. “In comparison, that Young Master Cangya is truly… terrifyingly quiet. He has been in seclusion for almost a hundred years. I heard that he has already entered the late stage of Eternal True God. With the ‘Infinite Divine Body’ and the ‘Myriad Transformations Thunder Armor’ bestowed by the city lord, now, apart from the two captains, I’m afraid no one in the Xuanhu Guards in the city can withstand ten moves from him.”

"Infinite Divine Body..." Yan Jin's eyes also revealed solemnity and a trace of envy. "Vast and boundless, with inexhaustible divine power, Young Master chose to cultivate in seclusion and brought this talent to its peak. Over a hundred epochs, from Void True God to the late stage of Eternity, this progress is terrifying. One still and one active, one internal and one external, the future achievements of these two juniors of the City Lord will probably far exceed our imagination."

With the support of a towering tree like the Chaos Realm and his own exceptional talent, he couldn't help but feel envious.

Deep in the wilderness.

This is a scorched earth ravaged by an ancient war, with bottomless ravines and black, glazed plains formed from cooled lava.

The air was filled with a strong smell of sulfur.

"唳——!!!"

A piercing shriek, filled with boundless violence and majesty, tore through the sky, and a colossal creature suddenly burst forth from a giant cloud storm.

Its wingspan blots out the sky, exceeding ten thousand feet!
Each feather was forged from the purest purple-gold lightning, its edges crackling with blinding arcs of electricity. Its beak curved like a hook, gleaming with a chilling light that seemed to tear through space. Its claws were covered in dark gold scales, their tips capable of easily piercing divine metal. Most chilling of all were its vertical pupils, burning with golden lightning—the Eclipse Thunder Roc.

The ultimate ruler of the wasteland, a true god of eternity!
"Eclipse Thunder Roc detected, adult form! Peak energy reaction of an Eternal True God!"

"Wind God's Breath main gun, prepare."

"Dragon Scale Flying Blade preheating complete. Spatial sealing force field deployed to prevent target from escaping via spatial jump."

"Melee unit Sky Claw activated, ready to engage the enemy at any time."

Within the "Azure Winged Dragon" will network, Ling's report reached its peak instantly. The divine thoughts of 100,000 True Gods were highly concentrated, and hundreds of Void True God nodes operated at full power, converging the power of the entire war beast under the will of Yu Ji, the mastermind.

Facing the thunderous roc that blotted out the sky and carried an aura of destruction, Yu Ji stood inside the dragon's head, her eyes burning with fighting spirit.

She had a thought in her mind.

"Target locked, Wind God's Breath, unleash it!!!"

"Roar--!!!"

The Azure Winged Dragon's enormous, abyss-like mouth suddenly opened wide, and deep within its throat, a highly condensed, dark blue-black wind blade tornado was instantly compressed to its limit, and then—exploded with a roar!
A terrifying beam of light, over a hundred feet in diameter, formed purely from the compression and condensation of destructive high-dimensional energy, and wrapped with countless rotating cyan wind blades, slammed into the massive body of the Eclipse Thunder Roc as it swooped down, like a giant spear splitting the heavens and the earth.

Boom boom boom——!!!!

An indescribable, terrifying explosion erupted in the sky above the wasteland. A massive, purplish-blue sphere of light, filled with destructive lightning and spatial rifts, instantly expanded and swallowed up a large portion of the sky.

The violent shockwave swept out like a giant ring, flattening and melting tens of thousands of miles of space within a spherical range into a scorching lake of magma, tearing black lines into the very fabric of space.

"唳——!!!"

A heart-wrenching scream of agony emanated from the epicenter of the explosion.

The massive body of the Eclipse Thunder Roc was sent flying backward in a sorry state. Large swaths of its lightning feathers were vaporized and annihilated, revealing the charred, smoking bones and flesh that shimmered with lightning beneath. Its proud defenses had been breached by the Azure Winged Dragon's full-force attack!

"Good!" Yu Ji's spirits soared. This was the first time she had fought against a peerless being at the peak of the Eternal True God level since she obtained the Azure Winged Dragon. "Dragon Scale Flying Blades, cover and strike, tear through its defenses!"

hum!
The deep blue rhomboid metallic scales covering the "Azure Winged Dragon's" entire body suddenly lit up with a dazzling light in tens of thousands of them at the same time!
The next moment, these scales were launched as if by an invisible force, transforming into streaks of deep blue light with extreme speed and unpredictable trajectories. Like a deadly swarm of bees, they swept towards the flying Eclipse Thunder Roc.

Each flying blade seemed to be a cutting force field that tore through the void and annihilated matter, as well as a miniature energy bomb.

The golden vertical pupils of the Eclipse Thunder Roc burned with furious flames. It had only recently migrated to this land and was still unaware of the awe of Xuanhu City. Facing this mechanical treasure that could rival it, it showed no fear whatsoever.

Suddenly, its wings flapped, stabilizing its body, and a dazzling purple-gold lightning burst forth from its body.

"Wow—!"

Another shriek rang out, this time a utter declaration of destruction. Its enormous beak snapped open, and a condensed, ink-black "eclipse lightning" burst forth.

Wherever this bolt of lightning passed, the space itself silently and subtly collapsed and annihilated, forming a slender yet all-consuming channel of destruction.

At the same time, its enormous wings slammed into the void, and countless condensed, purple spear-like "Sky-Splitting Thunder Feathers" shot out like a storm towards the swarming dragon scale blades and the distant "Azure Winged Dragon".

Chi Chi Chi -!
The inky black "Eclipse Lightning" swept across, and the first thousand "Dragon Scale Flying Blades" to be hit were instantly reduced to nothingness by the terrifying lightning that annihilated everything, as if they had been thrown into a black hole and silently disappeared.

Puff puff puff!

The dense "Sky-Splitting Thunder Feathers" were like precise missiles, instantly bombarding the solid body and exploding into destructive blue-purple smoke in the air.

"Warning: Dragon Scale Blade loss 35%, target 'Eclipse Lightning' has annihilation attribute." Ling's alarm sounded in Yu Ji's will network.

"What a powerful beast." Yu Ji's eyes narrowed as she sensed the terrifying strength of the peak overlord of the Eternal True God.

"Since ranged attacks are ineffective, let's engage in close combat!"

"Roar!"

The Azure Winged Dragon let out a deafening roar, and the pair of huge wind-elemental energy wings on its back shone brightly. The massive body of the mechanical dragon instantly became blurred, flashing in the void at an ultra-high frequency and irregular distance, leaving behind a series of afterimages that were difficult to catch.

At the same time, its two enormous metal dragon claws, covered in heavy armor and with three gleaming, eerie blue claws extending from their front ends, seemingly capable of tearing apart galaxies, suddenly shot out like two bolts of lightning tearing through space, wielding with precision and ferocity. Most of the "Sky-Splitting Thunder Feathers" were dodged by its ghostly maneuverability, and the few that escaped were either caught and destroyed or parried in mid-air by the swinging "Sky-Splitting Claws."

The purple-gold lightning exploded on the huge metal claw blade, producing a piercing bang.

However, the inky "eclipsing lightning" was like a leech, carrying the will to annihilate everything, locking onto the head of the "Azure Winged Dragon" and relentlessly pursuing it.

Wherever it goes, it leaves behind unhealable black scars on the space.

"We can't let it hit us!" Yu Ji made a quick decision. "The main cannon needs time to recharge, so release the Wind God's Cage to slow it down. All nodes, operate at overload, injecting energy into the shield and wings."

Countless leaping azure whirlwinds erupted from the Azure Winged Dragon's body. These whirlwinds intertwined wildly, forming a massive energy net composed of wind-elemental runes in front of it, attempting to intercept the destructive lightning.

Stab it--!
The inky lightning crashed into the Wind God's Cage. The wind-elemental cage, which was powerful enough to slow down even a peak Eternal True God, was torn apart and pierced by the all-annihilating lightning in less than half a breath.

boom! ! !
The dark lightning, though smaller in size, was still terrifying, and finally struck the deep blue energy shield on the "Azure Winged Dragon's" body.

A blinding burst of light erupted!
The massive body of the Azure Winged Dragon trembled and tumbled violently, its shield flashing wildly and erratically, emitting a piercing wail. Inside the dragon's head, Yu Ji's figure swayed abruptly, her face turning slightly pale. In the network of wills, the 100,000 True God operators simultaneously groaned, enduring immense backlash pressure.

"Shield strength dropped by 35%, and the left wing energy wings sustained minor damage!" Ling reported faithfully.

"Good, that's impressive!" Yu Ji's eyes burned with an even more fervent flame, and a battle-ready smile curved her lips. "That's more like it. How about charging the main cannon?!"

"'Wind God's Breath' is 99% charged and will reach its peak in 0.1 seconds."

"Alright!" Yu Ji's fighting spirit surged. "All nodes, prepare to withstand the impact! Concentrate your shield energy on the dragon's head! Increase your divine power output! Charge forward! In one second, blast it to pieces!!!"

Just as the Azure Winged Dragon and the Eclipse Thunder Roc were engaged in an earth-shattering battle deep in the wasteland.

……

Deep within the Green Wutong Palace in Xuanhu City.

This is not a magnificent palace, but a space shrouded in the laws of chaos. The space is not large, yet it seems to connect to the source of the laws of chaos. The laws of chaos flow slowly in the void, almost clearly visible before one's eyes.

The air was filled with an intense and pervasive aura of laws and principles, and every breath seemed to be inhaling and exhaling fragments of the most primordial chaotic laws.

At the heart of this primordial land, on a futon, Cangya sat cross-legged.

He wore simple gray linen trousers, his figure as upright as a mountain, his face resolute and serene. His eyes were closed, and no earth-shattering energy fluctuations emanated from his body; he seemed to be one with this primordial land. Only with careful perception could one discover that the space around his body was subtly fluctuating and distorting at an extremely mysterious frequency, as if he himself were a miniature universe nurturing terrifying power.

On Cangya's bare upper body, a seemingly thin yet covering every inch of his skin, silver body armor was radiating a warm and restrained luster.

On the surface of the soft armor, countless fine, lifelike runes flowed, combined, and evolved slowly. This was the mechanical treasure bestowed upon him by Xu Yang—the "Myriad Transformations Thunder Armor." It was not merely a defensive armor, but a treasure that perfectly complemented Cang Ya's "Infinite Divine Body" and aided in his enlightenment.

He devoted himself to rigorous self-cultivation, detached from worldly affairs.

Cangya's Dao heart was as clear as crystal, and his will as firm as chaotic divine iron.

He combined the profound mysteries of the "Ten Thousand Tribulations Thunder Prison" taught by Xu Yang with the characteristics of his own infinite divine body, and carried out the purest sedimentation and accumulation in this primordial land.

His path is to seek within himself, using his infinite divine body as a foundation to encompass all things and evolve his own world.

At this moment, deep within Cangya's sea of ​​consciousness.

A vast and boundless divine universe is slowly rotating and expanding. At the core of this universe is not a star, but a "divine heart" condensed from pure will and radiating immortal brilliance.

From this "Divine Heart" as the origin, countless "Dao Pattern Chains," formed from the Ten Great Laws, extend in all directions of the universe, constituting its framework. On these Dao Pattern Chains, countless tiny, diverse branches of chaotic laws are born, decay, and evolve…

Within this divine universe, a vast and seemingly endless golden divine power surged and churned like a boundless ocean.

“Not enough…” Cangya’s mind was completely immersed in the evolution of the inner universe.

"The divine heart is the core, all laws are the bones, and divine power is the sea... The foundation of the world should be forged at this moment!" A grand and firm thought rose in Cangya's heart.

He suddenly increased his efforts to absorb external energy.

boom! ! !
The entire quiet room shook violently, and more liquid energy, like an angry dragon, roared and surged into his body. The Myriad Transformations Lightning Armor emitted a deep hum, and the runes on its surface shone brightly.

On the surface of Cangya's skin, fine, pulsating golden lines began to appear, and a terrifying pressure, far more vast and profound than before, carrying a primal aura of world creation, began to slowly emanate from his body.

It was as if he had cultivated his divine body into a world!
This oppressive aura was so restrained, yet so heavy, like the breath of an ancient, slumbering god about to awaken. It penetrated the layers of restrictions in the quiet room and subtly spread into the Qingwu Palace.

On the Qingwu Palace, on a pavilion made of amethyst.

Xu Yang stood with his hands behind his back, dressed in a long black robe, his aura as deep as the sea. Meng Cha, who was nestled beside him, had also broken through to the Eternal True God realm, but only had the aura of the initial stage.

“Infinite Divine Body… Myriad Transformations Thunder Armor… Myriad Tribulations Thunder Prison…” Xu Yang murmured to himself, his voice echoing in the void like the great Dao’s imperial decree, “After a hundred years of accumulation, he has finally reached the pinnacle. Cang Ya’s Dao heart is pure and his will is unyielding; his future is very bright.”

He tilted his head slightly, his gaze seemingly able to pierce through space, landing on the Azure Winged Dragon deep in the wasteland, which was engaged in a fierce battle with the Eclipse Thunder Roc. A faint smile appeared on his lips: "Yu Ji is just a bit mischievous. Otherwise, with her talent, her strength would be far greater than it is now."

Mengcha shook Xu Yang's arm and said with a smile, "Children and grandchildren have their own blessings. Cangya's heart is firm in seeking the Dao, so naturally his desire to climb higher is stronger. Besides, he has always taken you, his master, as his role model and is determined to emulate you... Yu'er is like me, with a more tranquil nature. With your protection, husband, we feel at ease."

"Hahaha... Yes, isn't all this effort of mine precisely to protect you and your daughter from the wind and rain?" Xu Yang smiled brightly, in a cheerful mood. (End of Chapter)
