Evolving by devouring from a young dragon

The Lion King's eyes burned with rage. He raised his right arm, and in an instant, a tremendous power erupted within him, his entire body engulfed in a gray-red aura.

The earth trembled violently, and the entire altar shook.

Rock spikes burst forth from the ground, sweeping outwards from the center of the square and shooting towards the crowd.

Auduin vanished in a flash, hiding in the Shadow Realm, coldly observing everything.

The Wolf King snorted coldly, and took a step forward. A wave of icy blue energy spread out from him, shattering the sharp rocks and turning them into ice shards.

At that moment, the altar could not withstand the weight and collapsed, burying the Lion King beneath it.

The Lion King ritual failed; at this moment, he must be displaying his impotent rage before his death.

But Alduin didn't want to get entangled with him. Even in his death throes, his strength was still legendary and not to be underestimated.

Just as Alduin had predicted, a tremor began to emanate from beneath the fallen rocks. The next second, rubble flew everywhere, and the Lion King emerged from within.

His petrified right arm was severed in half, and his petrified body was covered with cracks, from which gray-red light emanated, like a volcano about to erupt.

"Nobody's leaving."

The Lion King raised his left arm, his five fingers spread wide.

The primal power of the Cracked Rock Emblem surged from his palm, transforming into a gray-red shockwave that swept outwards.

Wherever the shockwave passed, the ground cracked, rocks flew, and snow swirled.

Leon's expression changed. He raised his hand, and a spatial barrier was erected in front of him. But when the shockwave hit, the barrier shattered immediately. Leon was caught off guard and was sent flying backward.

Auduin took a deep breath, his expression grave.

The Lion King's final strike was incredibly powerful; even a magic barrier would be shattered by the earthquake force of the Rock Crack Emblem, making it extremely difficult to defend against.

The wolf king frowned, wanting to make a move, but saw the lion king walking directly towards him.

The lion king's claws were imbued with gray-red magic as he unleashed a punch.

Upon seeing this, the Wolf King condensed his icy blue magic power, transforming it into an ice spear, and thrust it towards the Lion King.

The icy blue magic and the grayish-red magic clashed, creating a shockwave.

The Lion King staggered back two steps, the wound on his chest so deep that bone was visible, and cracks appeared in his petrified body.

The wolf king was instantly sent flying backward, crashing heavily into the boulder.

The boulder shattered with a crash, and the rubble fell down, burying him beneath it.

"The Icefield Wolf King?" The Lion King's voice was hoarse and full of disdain. "Nothing special."

The wolf king stood up from the rubble, a wound appearing on his shoulder, with icy blue blood flowing down his shoulder.

A slight smirk appeared on his lips.

"That's all?"

As soon as he finished speaking, he stopped hiding and his legendary peak aura suddenly erupted. Ice-blue light enveloped the entire ruins, plunging them into a deathly silence.

Leon remained in the position of flying backwards, while Alduin raised his head to fly, only to find himself unable to move.

At the same time, the Lion King's expression also changed, and the gray-red shockwave stopped and ceased its advance.

Alduin felt a chill run down his spine; this was a legendary ability, a domain.

The Wolf King's domain possesses such power that it can imprison all things; its strength is unimaginable.

An icy blue light enveloped the area for miles, and only the Wolf King could move within the arena.

Everyone else was frozen in place by the power of ice, unable to move, and could only watch him helplessly.

The wolf king shook himself and walked step by step to the lion king.

The Lion King could only watch helplessly, unable to move an inch.

"Click—"

With a sharp crack, the lion king's head rolled off.

The wolf king stepped forward and stopped in front of the lion king's headless body.

The lion king's right eye was wide open, and the wolf king's image was reflected in its crimson pupil.

His stone body was enveloped in an icy blue light, freezing inch by inch from his toes to the top of his head. Grayish-red light peeked out from the cracks, resisting the icy blue light, but was quickly suppressed.

The wolf king raised its right paw, the tip of which condensed into an icy blue light, and pierced straight into the lion king's neck.

With a crack, the sound of stone breaking rang out, and the lion king's head rolled off the stone body, crashing to the ground and shattering into several grayish-white stone chips.

His body then disintegrated, and the fragments of rock on his chest fell off and quietly landed in the wolf king's palm.

A grayish-red light danced in the wolf king's palm. The wolf king nodded and put the fragment into its mane.

The barrier was removed, and the wind and snow began to howl again.

Leon fell from the sky, kneeling on one knee, panting heavily. Alduin flapped his dragon wings to steady himself, his vertical pupils fixed on the wolf king.

Leon stood up, brushed the pebbles off his knees, and looked up at the Wolf King: "The agreement has been fulfilled."

The wolf king turned to look at Leon, his icy blue pupils devoid of emotion.

"You help me kill the Lion King and get the Rockbreaker Emblem, and I won't interfere in what happens after that. That's a fair trade."

Auduin glanced at the two of them, secretly cursing them in his heart.

The Wolf King really pulled off a scheme, making it sound like a legitimate deal by talking about what would happen after he stopped interfering. With power, he can indeed do whatever he wants.

The Wolf King didn't look at Leon or Alduin again, and turned to walk towards the ice field.

The silver-white figure walked further and further away in the wind and snow, and after a few steps, it was completely swallowed up by the gray sky.

Leon gazed in the direction the Wolf King had gone, then turned to look at Alduin. His hands were empty, and he carried no insignia; both the Rock Emblem and the Barren Mound Emblem were in Alduin's possession.

He raised the corner of his mouth slightly, revealing a meaningful smile.

Now, it's just the two of us left.

Auduin stared intently at Leon with his dark golden vertical pupils, his mind racing with calculations.

Leon and the Lion King made a deal, so the Wolf King already knew all this. He agreed to come here because he wasn't persuaded by Leon; he was just going to come anyway.

This is why Leon wasn't surprised when he met the Wolf King.

Recalling their conversation, Leon helped the Wolf King eliminate the Lion King, and the Rockbreaker Emblem returned to the Wolf King; Leon's condition was that the other party would no longer interfere in the struggle for the other two stone emblems.

In this way, the previous scramble for the Crystal Emblem was just a smokescreen from beginning to end.

Leon and the Wolf King had conspired to forge a fake crystal emblem to deceive the Lion King into launching the ceremony.

The ritual backlash severely injured the Lion King, causing him to fall from his cultivation level. Only then did the Wolf King easily reap the benefits, not only obtaining the Rock Rift Emblem but also keeping the Crystal Rock Emblem in his hand.

Leon's goal was the Wilderness Emblem on his body, as well as the Rock Emblem that had been thrown to him earlier to attract the Lion King's attention, but which had failed.

Auduin, upon arriving at this point, finally understood everything.

He retrieved the rock emblem from the spatial rift, and its earthen-yellow light shone in mid-air.

He then retrieved the Wilderness Emblem from another fissure, its black lines spreading to his right claw.

With the two badges in hand, his aura was three times stronger than before.

Auduin flapped his wings, hovering in mid-air, his dark golden vertical pupils coldly sweeping over Leon, and spoke:

"You have nothing in your hands, what are you going to use to fight me?"
