Swallowed Star: Lord of the Wolf

The massive body of the Burning Flame Demon Lord, who was repairing his demonic body in the distance, suddenly stiffened!
The chaotic and violent light in its dark, demonic eyes instantly froze and dissipated... The dark red horn spiraling upwards on its forehead suddenly burst forth with a dazzling, ominous blood-red light.

An extremely subtle, yet identical, mark of dark will, of the same origin and nature as Elder Black Fiend, lit up wildly deep within that unicorn horn.

"Uh... Ah..." The Burning Flame Demon Lord let out an incomprehensible roar, and his massive demonic body convulsed violently.

It was as if two wills were fiercely fighting within its body!
One is the violent instinct belonging to its newly born chaotic demonic body, and the other is the dark imprint rooted in the core of its soul, which was planted by Elder Black Fiend during its transformation.

"No! Black Fiend...you?!" The remaining consciousness of the Burning Flame Demon Lord seemed to understand something, letting out a roar filled with rage and despair at being betrayed.

It struggled frantically, its filthy lava energy surging wildly as it tried to resist the erosion of the markings.

"Hmph, struggle! Everything you have was given to you by me! Your power, your demonic body, will all be at my disposal!" Elder Black Fiend's face revealed a ferocious and fanatical expression. He completely abandoned his defense and allowed the Xuan Yue Dominator's attacks to bombard him again.

They're willing to fight tooth and nail, just to buy time!
He formed extremely complex and blasphemous hand seals, chanting incantations. An ancient, evil, and seemingly soul-stripping magical energy surged across space, striking the Flame Demon Lord's horn with tremendous force.

"Soul Stealing - All Transformations Return to Origin!"

hum! ! !
The blood-red light on the single horn on the forehead of the Burning Flame Demon Lord instantly surged to its maximum.

Its painful struggles and roars came to an abrupt halt, and its massive demonic body stiffened instantly, as if its spine had been removed.

In the pitch-black demonic eyes, the last glimmer of struggle belonging to "Burning Flame" was completely extinguished, leaving only a pure, cold, and eerie green, just like Elder Black Fiend's.

It worked!
Although the Burning Flame Demon Lord was seriously injured and his realm was unstable, Elder Black Fiend forcibly activated the ultimate hidden move that had been laid long ago.

After paying the price of having his clone withstand the attack and his aura plummeting, he finally erased the remaining consciousness of Fen Yan and turned this newly born, potentially powerful body of the Chaos Demon Lord into one of his own... clones.

The whole process was incredibly fast!

Although Xu Yang and Xuan Yue Sovereign sensed something was wrong, it was too late to stop them.

"Hahahaha!!!" Elder Black Fiend let out a triumphant and maniacal laugh. His eerie green eyes darted between his heavily injured clone and the body of the Burning Flame Demon Lord that had just been controlled. Although both were somewhat weak, his eyes gleamed with the excitement of being in control of everything.

"Xuan Yue! And you, Bai Yu! Do you know why I went through so much trouble to sneak into this desolate place in the Eastern Extreme Region to help Fen Yan advance?" Elder Hei Sha said in a mocking tone as he controlled the Fen Yan Demon Lord, whose aura was weak but whose eyes were cold, to fly slowly to his side, seemingly unafraid of the approaching reinforcements.

"Hmph! These heretics are naturally plotting this inhuman act!" Sovereign Xuan Yue roared, but his heart sank. Clearly, they still had something to rely on.

"Inhumanity? Hahaha!" Elder Black Fiend's laughter grew even more manic. "Perhaps in the eyes of you hypocritical bastards! But in my eyes, it's nothing more than making use of trash and pursuing power!"

His eerie green gaze swept over the infernal ruins of Burning Flame City below, then turned to the powerful aura faintly emanating from the distance. His voice carried a hint of amusement and deep malice: "As for why I chose this place? Because this is the Eastern Extreme Region! It's the dwelling place of you natives. The order is chaotic, and the surveillance is lax. I'll sacrifice the lives of the inhabitants of a giant city here, giving birth to a chaotic demonic body, and then refine it into my avatar... Isn't it much safer and less risky than doing this within the 'Fire Kingdom' that I control?"

"Those hypocritical old bastards, meddling in everything, how could they possibly interfere in the territory of an enemy force? Hahahaha!" He laughed unrestrainedly, "Even if you find out, it will be your people from the Eastern Extreme Region who die, and your territory that is destroyed! I only profit, I never lose!"

"Madman!" The Xuan Yue Sovereign's face turned ashen as he finally understood the other party's sinister intentions and despicable schemes.

By carrying out such an evil blood sacrifice on the territory of an enemy force, the goal can be achieved, and the trouble can be diverted to the enemy, weakening them.

Its heart is awkward!

Xu Yang's gaze grew even colder.

This Black Fiend Elder is vicious and ruthless, treating life as worthless and resorting to any means to gain power.

I'm not some saint, but if I encounter such a problem, I wouldn't mind taking care of it.

"Now, although I have paid a price, I have gained a Chaos Demon Lord avatar with unlimited potential. This deal is worth it!" Elder Black Fiend grinned, controlling the heavily injured Burning Flame Demon Lord to stand in front of him, while his original avatar began to gather dark energy, obviously preparing to escape.

"Bai Yu, Xuan Yue, I will remember your kindness today! I will repay you a hundredfold in the future!"

Before he could finish speaking, the heavily injured Burning Flame Demon Lord's clone suddenly opened its gaping maw, spewing out a viscous, filthy "Demonic Breath" filled with terrifying resentment towards Xu Yang and Xuan Yue.

At the same time, his original avatar transformed into a dark stream of light, tearing through the space sealed by Xuan Yue, and carrying the Demon Lord's clone in a frantic escape towards the direction far from the reinforcements.

"Friend, Bai Yu! Please stop him! We must not let this demon escape!" The avatar of the Xuan Yue Sovereign was extremely anxious as he watched Elder Hei Sha tear through space and flee.

He knew that if he allowed the cunning and treacherous Black Demon to escape back to the territory of the "Huo Kingdom" under his control, it would be tantamount to releasing a tiger back into the mountains, which would bring endless trouble.

In order to regain its power, this evil spirit will inevitably cause bloodshed along the way!
"Bai Yu! This monstrous creature is ferocious and must not be allowed to escape! Help me capture and kill this demon, and I will reward you handsomely!" Xuan Yue's avatar urgently transmitted his voice to Xu Yang, his tone earnest and anxious.

Xu Yang's eyes were cold. He didn't want to get too involved in this conflict, but Elder Heisha's inhuman methods also made him unhappy.

Moreover, this clone of his originally intended to establish itself in the Eastern Extreme Region, which would be more beneficial for the Xuan Yue Sovereign.

"Chase!" Xu Yang nodded, uttering only one word. His aura of destruction and spatial fluctuations merged perfectly, and he transformed into a silver-white streak of light that tore through the void. His speed was much faster than the avatar of the Xuan Yue Sovereign, and he chased after Hei Sha.

Xuan Yue's spirits lifted, and his avatar, disregarding the cost, burned its own essence to follow closely behind.

Three streaks of light, like shooting stars piercing the sky over the desolate eastern wilderness, chased each other at an unimaginable speed.

Elder Heisha sensed two rapidly approaching, murderous auras behind him, especially the immense pressure from Bai Yu's pure destructive aura, which made him curse inwardly.

If it weren't for the sudden appearance of Bai Yu, he and Fen Yan would have joined forces to kill Xuan Yue's avatar long ago, then easily hid and escaped from the Eastern Extreme Region... how could they be in such a sorry and hurried state now!
While frantically burning his avatar's essence to accelerate, he also controlled the severely injured Demon Lord's clone, a ruthless glint flashing in his eyes.

"Hmph! You want to chase me? Then let me show you what true doomsday is!" Elder Black Fiend's spiritual consciousness, like a cold venomous snake, swept across the scattered tribal settlements on the wasteland below.

He controlled the Demon Lord's clone, which suddenly opened its gaping maw.

puff--!!!!

A viscous, filthy "demon breath," filled with terrifying resentment, poured down like a destructive torrent onto the tribal settlement below.

Rumble——! ! !
In an instant, the tribal settlement with millions of inhabitants, along with its inhabitants, buildings, and land, melted and dissolved like foam thrown into strong acid, amidst mournful and desperate howls. It transformed into a filthy, deathly, blood-soaked swamp, radiating a soaring resentment.

A large amount of life essence and resentment of the soul were forcibly extracted, turning into a scarlet, viscous energy torrent, which was swallowed whole by the Demon Lord's clone!

"Beast!!" Upon witnessing this scene, the Xuan Yue Sovereign was consumed by rage, and the aura of his avatar fluctuated violently.

These are all his citizens from the Eastern Extremity!

A flash of light appeared in his hand, and a shrunken phantom of a divine seal slammed into the Demon Lord's clone.

boom!
The divine seal slammed into the Demon Lord's avatar, causing it to stagger. The already enormous hole in its demonic body widened further, and its aura weakened even more. However, the energy it absorbed slightly stabilized the aura of the original avatar controlled by Elder Black Fiend, and its speed even increased a few notches!
"Hahahaha! Xuan Yue! Does it hurt? Is it infuriating? This is the consequence of opposing me!" Elder Hei Sha's maniacal laughter echoed across the wasteland, filled with cruelty and smugness. He didn't care at all about the damage to the Demon Lord's avatar; as long as he could escape the Eastern Extreme Region, it would be a huge gain, and he would always find a way to make up for it later!
Next, whenever the pursuit closed the distance, or when he felt his strength waning, Elder Black Fiend would not hesitate to control the Demon Lord's clone to attack the settlement below.

Each filthy breath destroyed tribes, villages, and even small cities along its path.

On the earth, a shocking and terrifying trail was left behind, paved with the blood and tears of countless lives and the ruins of destruction.

The Xuan Yue Overlord launched a frenzied attack on the Demon Lord's avatar, while Xu Yang's spatial confinement and destructive attacks also continuously struck Elder Hei Sha's original form, causing him considerable trouble and damage.

However, Elder Black Fiend stubbornly maintained his escape by relying on his familiarity with the terrain at the edge of the Eastern Extreme Region, burning his own source at any cost, and using the Demon Lord's clone as a shield and "supply pack".

His two clones were both losing energy, especially the Demon Lord clone, which was on the verge of collapse and disintegration, but it was never completely destroyed.

Although the aura of the Xuan Yue Sovereign is getting closer, it is clear that it will take more time to catch up with this desperate pursuit.

"Almost there! Almost there! As long as we break through the 'Black Wind Gorge' and enter the chaotic area of ​​the 'Silent Desolate Sea,' we can get rid of them." Elder Black Fiend looked at the huge, dark canyon that vaguely appeared on the horizon ahead, like the open mouth of a prehistoric beast, and hope ignited in his eyes.

The space there is chaotic and the laws are disordered, making it a natural escape route.

However, just as he was about to control his two clones to plunge headlong into Black Wind Gorge.

Om-! ! !
An indescribable, vast pressure, seemingly carrying the weighty history and the primordial will of the entire Eastern Pole Region, descended without warning.

This oppressive aura was balanced and peaceful, as if the heavens and earth themselves had opened their eyes, carrying a supreme majesty that made all living beings instinctively submit!

It instantly froze space and solidified time, causing the three frantically chasing streaks of light to freeze in mid-air like mosquitoes trapped in amber.

Whether it was Xuan Yue's avatar chasing in a rage, Xu Yang calmly taking action, or the two clones of Elder Hei Sha fleeing for their lives with weakened aura, or even Xuan Yue's main body rushing over, all were as insignificant as dust in the face of this oppressive force.

"This is...?!" The avatar of the Xuan Yue Sovereign and his true self in the distance were both shaken to their core, their eyes bursting with unbelievable joy and awe.

Xu Yang's pupils also contracted slightly as he instantly assessed the level of this power—far surpassing that of a Chaos Ruler! That was… the aura of a God-King! And definitely not an ordinary God-King!
The Black Fiend Elder's wild joy instantly turned into endless terror and despair!

"No...impossible! How could such a being have been alerted?!"

Amidst the horrified gazes of everyone, in the distant core of the Eastern Extreme Region, at the edge of the sky...

A hand slowly emerged.

This hand is not made of flesh and blood, but is woven from countless phantom images of worlds, mountains and rivers, and the movement of stars.

The palm lines were like the veins of the Great Dao, clearly visible. Within the palm, it seemed as if countless worlds were born, flourished, declined, and perished in an instant! A vast and boundless aura of the origin of the world emanated from it, causing the laws of heaven and earth throughout the entire Eastern Extreme Region to resonate with it.

With a flip of the palm, heaven and earth are reversed, and the world is born and destroyed!
The fundamental path of the world—the palm that turns the world upside down.

This divine palm, composed of countless scenes of the birth and death of worlds, disregarded spatial distance, traversed endless distances, and instantly enveloped the area above Black Wind Gorge.

The target was the two clones of Elder Black Fiend.

"No—!!!" Elder Black Fiend let out a desperate scream, manipulating his original avatar and the Demon Lord's clone to unleash their last bit of power in an attempt to struggle and escape.

However, in the face of this divine hand that represents the will of the world, all resistance seems so ridiculous.

The divine palm did not deliberately accelerate; it simply descended slowly, carrying an absolute power capable of crushing everything.

click-

Silent annihilation.

There were no earth-shattering explosions.

There was no violent energy surge.

There is only one kind of pure, unquestionable erasure.

The original avatar of Elder Black Fiend, which was enveloped by the divine palm, and the Demon Lord's clone, which was on the verge of disintegration, along with the space around them, disappeared silently, as if gently wiped by an invisible eraser.

Utterly annihilated!
Leave no trace!
Whether it is matter, energy, the imprint of laws, or the fluctuations of the soul, all return to nothingness in an instant.

Only the slowly retracting divine palm, containing the imagery of the world's birth and death, proved the authenticity of the destructive scene just now.

In the final instant before the divine palm covered everything, Elder Black Fiend's will made a last-ditch effort before being completely annihilated. He manipulated the core of the Demon Lord's avatar, attempting to detonate the last vestiges of filth, transforming them into an extremely subtle stream of destructive energy that almost merged with the void, quietly escaping into the depths of the earth below to lie dormant, hoping for a sliver of hope to survive.

This destructive energy flow was extremely well concealed, making it impossible for ordinary Chaos Rulers to detect it.

However, before that divine hand that represents the fundamental will of the world, such tricks are like child's play.

The will of the Divine Palm was like the most skilled hunter, instantly locking onto the destructive energy that had fled into the earth.

The divine palm retracted without the slightest pause, and the destructive energy that attempted to feign death and escape was easily wiped away as if a speck of dust by the power of creation and destruction of the world between the palms.

Not a single crumb left!

Having done all this, the divine hand that stretched across the sky, containing the birth and death of countless worlds, vanished silently, as if it had never existed. The vast and boundless pressure of the divine king also dissipated.

There was only deathly silence in the world.

The avatar of the Xuan Yue Sovereign bowed respectfully in the direction where the divine palm had disappeared, his voice filled with awe from the depths of his soul: "Respectfully bidding farewell to His Majesty the Divine Emperor Bai Qi!"

Xu Yang hovered quietly in the air, looking at the flattened, empty void in front of him, a look of solemnity and shock flashing deep in his eyes.

God King!

The Great Way, the origin of the world!

Across an immeasurable distance, with a flick of the palm, chaos was annihilated!

Is this the true power of the strongest beings on the Origin Continent?! (End of Chapter)
