Evolving by devouring from a young dragon

A silver-white figure hovered beneath the gray-white sky, its mane standing on end like icicles, and its icy blue pupils locked onto him from hundreds of meters away in the void.

Behind the wolf king, dozens of Ice Marrow Wolves were lined up in a fan shape, their silvery-white manes fluttering in the wind and snow, and their dark blue eyes shining like will-o'-the-wisps in the darkness.

All the elite troops were deployed.

Auduin's lips twitched. He didn't need to think too much to know why the Wolf King had come over.

As he had expected, the Wolf King spoke in a deep voice:

"Young dragon, the Lion King has sent me a message saying that you have two emblems on you: the Barren Ridge and the Cracked Rock."

"I'm not an unreasonable person; everyone has a share."

Alduin hovered in mid-air, his dragon wings slightly folded, his eyes fixed on the restless wolf pack below, but there was no panic in his eyes.

Everyone who sees it gets a share?

Alduin instantly saw through the Wolf King's intentions. The Wolf King had brought his elite troops to block the outer perimeter of Lingshan, clearly intending to seize it by force.

However, because he was proud of his status, he was unwilling to take direct action, so he pretended to save face for both of them.

The wolf king remained motionless, hovering in mid-air, his icy blue pupils looking down at Alduin. Behind him, dozens of ice marrow wolves stood still, their presence sealing off all of Alduin's escape routes.

Seeing this, Auduin sneered inwardly, already fully aware that if he refused, the wolf king's claws would be aimed straight for his throat in the next second.

He has no chance of defeating the wolf king.

A legendary figure at the peak of his power faces off against a seventh-tier epic; the outcome will hinge on a single move.

It's no use running away.

Ice was originally the Wolf King's home ground. The Ice Marrow Wolf was just as fast as him, and the Wolf King himself was there to oversee it.

A head-on confrontation means death, and so does running away.

But Alduin remained calm, for he had chips in his hand.

He hovered in mid-air, his dragon wings slightly folded, his vertical pupils calmly meeting the wolf king's gaze.

"That old lion lied to you."

Auduin spoke in a deep voice, "The Rift Emblem is not on me, but within him. He is the embodiment of the Rift Emblem, and the emblem is connected to his life. You are free to investigate, and I will not stop you."

The wolf king's pupils contracted slightly, but quickly returned to calm.

"so what?"

"So, this is the Lion King's conspiracy," Alduin said, changing the subject.

"He tricked you into coming here so he could take advantage of the situation and attack your territory."

Auduin's statement was not made up.

Judging from the entire process of him seizing the Wilderness Emblem, the Lion King had no idea whether he had really succeeded, and the Wolf King being tricked into coming here was probably part of the other party's plan.

The purpose was to lure away the wolf king so that they could attack the wolf king's territory, or rather, to attack the Ice Marrow Wolf's sacred relic, the Crystal Rock Emblem.

The wolf king narrowed his eyes, his icy blue pupils calm and still.

Alduin noticed the aura of the dozens of Ice Marrow Wolves behind him suddenly falter, revealing his alertness.

"You're saying the Lion King wants to attack my territory?" The Wolf King's voice remained deep, but with a hint of amusement. "He's a dying thing, unable to even leave the altar. What makes him think he can make a move?"

"He can't get out, but he has a son."

Auduin, his vertical pupils fixed, refused to budge. "Leon is in your prison. You think he came here to steal the Crystal Emblem?"

Wrong. He deliberately put himself in there. The moment you locked him up, his mission was already accomplished.

The wolf king's lips curled up slightly, revealing a mocking smile.

"Go on."

"You leave the ice plains, leaving the prison empty. Leon is a space mage; your ice cannot hold him. The moment you leave, he can tear open a crack and escape, carrying the Rock Emblem straight to your temple."

Alduin paused, then continued, "Do you think your guards could hold off a peak epic-level space mage while you were away?"

The wolf king remained silent.

Auduin's tone was calm and completely unwavering:

"The Lion King doesn't care about the Wilderness Emblem. What he really wants is the Crystal Rock Emblem. He sent you to intercept me not to help you, but to lure you away from the Ice Plains. You've already fallen into his trap."

The pack of Ice Marrow wolves behind the Wolf King immediately became restless.

The wolf king raised his right paw and gently waved it, instantly calming the agitation. His gaze returned to Alduin.

"Are you finished talking?"

Auduin narrowed his vertical pupils, remaining silent while rapidly calculating a countermeasure in his mind.

"Even if what you say is true," the Wolf King slowly began, "the Lion King ordered me to leave the Ice Plains, and Leon escaped from prison to steal the Crystal Emblem, so what?"

He took a step forward, about half a meter, his imposing aura like a mountain collapsing.

"I killed that lion long ago."

The wolf king spoke coldly, each word deliberate and cruel.

Auduin raised an eyebrow, his tone calm. "Congratulations then." But his thoughts raced, and he muttered repeatedly, "One less troublemaker."

The wolf king's lips curled up slightly, and the mockery deepened.

"Aren't you surprised?"

"Why should I be surprised?" Alduin retorted. "He trespassed on your ice plains, tricked you out of the Crystal Badge, and it's only natural that he would die at your hands. I just didn't expect that you would be completely fooled by an old lion trapped in an altar."

The wolf king's gaze suddenly turned icy cold, and his oppressive aura swept over him like a tangible force. Auduin's dragon wings drooped slightly, but he did not retreat even half a step.

"Say it again." "It's the same no matter how many times I say it." Alduin's vertical pupils showed no sign of yielding.

"You killed Leon, thinking you had severed the Lion King's arm. But when you killed him, did you ever consider the true purpose of the legendary relic, the Rock Emblem?"

The wolf king narrowed his icy blue eyes and remained silent.

Alduin seized the opportunity and continued, "Leon knew he was going to die, yet he still took the legendary artifact with him on his journey. Do you really think he was that stupid?"

The wolf king did not answer.

"Do you think he's really dead?"

These words struck the wolf king like a thunderclap, causing him to abruptly look up.

Seeing his reaction, Auduin breathed a sigh of relief; he knew he had made the right bet.

As the host of the Rock Rift Emblem, the Lion King clearly knew the true power of the four stone emblems; otherwise, so many lions wouldn't have appeared at the location of the Wild Rift Emblem.

Although the Wolf King possessed the Crystal Rock Emblem, he was mostly wary of becoming like the Lion King and dared not use it easily. He always had only a vague understanding of the original power of the four emblems.

Although he didn't know the true power of the Rock Emblem—it was merely a guess—it was enough to arouse the Wolf King's suspicion...

"So, Wolf King, are you really going to gamble?"

Alduin continued speaking, his voice low and deep like a demon's whisper, echoing in the wolf king's ears.

The wolf king remained silent for a long time, then suddenly opened his icy blue eyes, chuckled a few times, and then spoke:

"Your dragon is much more interesting than it looks."

He knew in his heart that the wolf king had become suspicious, and all he had to do was wait for the other party to slip away...

The wolf king shook his head, his tone suddenly turning stern:

"So what? Things have come to this. Today, you must hand over the Wilderness Emblem, or else..."

Before he could finish speaking, a legendary pressure came down on Audusser, immobilizing him and turning his face pale!
