Swallowed Star: Lord of the Wolf

A stream of dark light suddenly shot out, ignoring the constraints of the spatial treasure, and instantly rose above the void of the Sunken Star Realm, facing the enormous demonic face that covered the starry sky.

The light faded, revealing Xu Yang's figure.

It is not the original body, but an avatar.

However, the aura of this avatar was as deep and solid as an abyss, blending seamlessly with the black robe and radiating a destructive Daoist charm that made the void tremble.

His face was identical to his true form, his eyes as deep as the desolate universe, calmly gazing at the terrifying demonic face formed from the phantom of the sea of ​​blood.

The moment the avatar descended, an invisible yet even more pure and domineering destructive pressure suddenly spread out.

This oppressive aura, though not as vast and boundless as the Blood Sea Demon Face's, filled with boundless resentment, was more condensed, purer, and more...lofty and supreme.

Rumble!
Two powerful wills, both at the level of Chaos Ruler, collided fiercely in the sky above the Fallen Star Realm, like two rapidly spinning chaotic stars.

The silent roar resounded deep within the soul of every living being.

The void was like an ice surface tossed with a boulder, instantly covered with spiderweb-like black cracks. The already scarred earth of the Fallen Star Realm trembled violently once more, and countless mountains collapsed.

The Xuanhu Guards' Xuan Sha Prison Suppression Formation flashed wildly. The thirteen guards of the Eternal True Gods grunted and took a half step back in unison, their dark golden light flickering as they resisted the terrifying aftershocks with all their might.

The members of the Bitter Clan were like fallen leaves in a storm. Those with weaker cultivation fainted, and even the gray-robed elder was churning with anger. He stared in horror at the two opposing figures in the sky, his heart filled with boundless fear and awe—this was the true power of a ruler!

The mere clash of wills is enough to destroy the world.

"Hmm?" The Blood Sea Demon's giant, burning blood-flame pupils suddenly narrowed, locking onto Xu Yang's avatar. For the first time, his tyrannical voice carried a hint of solemnity. "Chaos Realm? A mere avatar dares to be so insolent before me?! State your name! My Blood Prison Demon Pool does not accept nameless souls!"

Xu Yang, in his avatar, remained indifferent, his gaze sweeping over the filthy sea of ​​blood that covered the starry sky, as if looking at a piece of dust about to be swept away by a storm.

He spoke slowly, his voice not loud, yet clearly drowning out the roar of the sea of ​​blood: "Gu You."

He has only a name, no other identity.

But these two calm words carry an indescribable weight.

"Gu You?" The projection of the Blood Prison Great Sage's will seemed to search its memories, then let out an even more violent roar. The sea of ​​blood churned and the demonic shadows howled, "Nameless brat! Never heard of you! You dare to ruin my plans and kill my blood servant! Today, I will make your avatar, along with all the living beings in this world, become nourishment for my Blood Prison!"

"The sea of ​​blood is overwhelming!"

boom--! ! !
With the roar of the Blood Prison Great Sage, the vast blood sea phantom that blotted out the starry sky suddenly boiled, and the viscous and filthy blood waves surged up into towering waves. It was no longer an illusory projection, but a condensed destructive power!
Countless hideous demonic shadows formed from filthy blood and bones, like the vanguard of hell, carrying terrifying power to erode all things and defile souls, swept down like a world-destroying torrent towards Xu Yang's avatar and the Fallen Star Realm behind him.

This is no longer a matter of willpower, but a terrifying killing move that contains a portion of the Blood Prison Great Sage's original power!
Wherever the sea of ​​blood passed, the space was corroded, emitting a pungent blue smoke, and the laws of nature wailed!
Its power has definitely reached the top level of the Chaos Ruler.

The faces of all the members of the Bitter Clan were ashen; even despair seemed pale and powerless in the face of this world-destroying sea of ​​blood.

Facing the monstrous sea of ​​blood, Xu Yang's gaze remained calm and undisturbed. He slowly raised his right hand, spread his five fingers, and gently brushed them towards the void before him.

The movements were gentle, as if brushing away a speck of dust from a sleeve.

hum!
Along the path his hand traced, a dark, lifeless realm, as if the end of all things had passed, instantly unfolded.

This area was not large, initially only a few hundred feet in diameter, yet it exuded an aura of ultimate annihilation that even the Blood Prison Great Saint feared.

It is precisely the [Destroy the False World]!
But at this moment, this pseudo-realm did not condense into a sphere and explode, but rather stood like an invisible and intangible shield, blocking the torrent of blood.

Chi chi chi——! ! !
A raging torrent of filth and blood crashed violently into this dark realm.

There was no earth-shattering explosion, only a tooth-grinding hissing sound, like millions of pieces of leather being torn apart in an instant.

The terrifying sea of ​​blood, capable of defiling chaos and corroding even divine bodies, vanished the moment it touched the gray realm, like boiling water poured onto snow. The violent energy, corrupt will, and bloodthirsty laws contained within the sea of ​​blood... all tangible and intangible existence withered, decayed, and decomposed at a visible speed under that ultimate annihilation and decaying intent.

The color of the sea of ​​blood quickly dimmed, changing from a dazzling scarlet to a deathly gray, and then to a pale nothingness.

The hideous demonic figures at the forefront didn't even have time to utter a wail before they withered away and turned to ashes.

Xu Yang remained motionless. The dark "shield" constructed from the pseudo-world of destruction was as solid as a rock. No matter how turbulent the torrent of blood surged and crashed, it could not shake it in the slightest. Instead, it was constantly being annihilated and purified.

"What?!" For the first time, clear astonishment appeared on the demonic face projected by the Blood Prison Great Sage's will. "Annihilation? Withering?! What kind of moves are these?! They can actually restrain my Blood Prison Origin?!"

"Restraint?" Xu Yang's indifferent voice rang out, "It's not restraint, but your filth that should never exist in this world. Annihilation is your final destination."

Before he finished speaking, Xu Yang's right hand, which he had extended, suddenly retracted, changing from a palm to a fist.

As he clenched his fist, the dark, destructive pseudo-shield suddenly contracted and collapsed inward.

boom--! ! !
A terrifying annihilation storm erupted from the point of collapse of the pseudo-realm, no longer a defensive shield, but a destructive vortex that devoured everything.

Annihilation storm swept through, tearing apart the surging torrent of blood in front of it.

A massive, pure void passage was forcibly opened, and the blood-sea matter at the edge of the passage was completely reduced to nothingness.

"How dare you!" The Blood Prison Great Sage was filled with shock and rage, his demonic face contorted in agony. "Blood Prison Demon Coffin, suppress and kill!"

hum!
Deep within the sea of ​​blood, filthy waves of blood converge and compress wildly!
A coffin, enormous in size, seemingly forged entirely from dark red bones, with viscous blood flowing across its surface and exuding a strong aura of misfortune and death, materialized out of thin air.

The moment this demonic coffin appeared, even the chaotic air currents near the Starfall Boundary seemed to be polluted and solidified. An extremely heavy sense of death pressure descended, as if it would drag the entire star field into an eternal grave.

"Suppress!" roared the Blood Prison Great Saint's will.

The enormous skeletal coffin, carrying terrifying power capable of suppressing all heavens and burying gods and demons, ignored the aftershocks of the annihilation storm, locked onto Xu Yang's avatar, and pressed down upon him as if by teleportation.

Before the demonic coffin even arrived, the terrifying suppressive and sealing power had already completely solidified the space around Xu Yang's avatar, as if he were sealed inside amber.

"Hmph." Xu Yang snorted coldly, remaining unfazed even as he faced the demonic coffin that was powerful enough to annihilate an ordinary Chaos Ruler.

He stepped forward with his left foot.

boom!
The void beneath his feet shattered as if it were solid, and a terrifying physical power, vast and boundless, seemingly capable of bearing the chaotic universe, erupted from his avatar accompanied by thunderous sounds of bones and muscles resonating.

A top-tier divine body in the Chaos Realm!
Although it was merely an avatar, the divine essence it contained was no different from its original form. This step it took was like an ancient divine elephant trampling the earth, forcefully shaking the sealing power of the solidified space.

Xu Yang clenched his right fist, and the pale golden chaotic divine patterns under his skin instantly lit up, his muscles bulging like a dragon.

He threw a punch at the skeletal coffin that was suppressing him from above.

This punch is a return to simplicity!

There was no dazzling brilliance, no earth-shattering momentum, only pure, extreme power and speed. Wherever the fist passed, space was silently torn apart like fragile paper, leaving a straight, pitch-black spatial rift that could not heal for a long time!
clang--!!!!!!!!!!!
Fist and coffin collide!

The sound was no longer the metallic clang, but a terrifying muffled thud, as if two chaotic divine mountains were colliding at a speed exceeding the speed of light.

A visible, grayish-white shockwave, formed by pure force, instantly spread out in a spherical shape from the point of impact.

Wherever it passed, the remaining sea of ​​blood was instantly evaporated, and the spatial fragments shattered like ice crystals.

The skeletal coffin trembled violently.

The downward momentum was abruptly halted. On the surface of the coffin, centered on the point where Xu Yang's fist landed, countless fine cracks spread out like a spider web. Thick, foul blood seeped from the cracks, making a sizzling, corrosive sound, but it could not erode the fist that shimmered with pale golden divine patterns in the slightest.

"Break!" Xu Yang roared, and the power in his fist erupted once more.

Boom--!!!
The skeletal demonic coffin, formed from the primordial power of the Blood Prison Great Saint and powerful enough to suppress the ruler of chaos, was shattered into pieces by Xu Yang's pure punch, under the gaze of countless horrified eyes.

Countless enormous fragments of bones, mixed with foul blood, shot out in all directions like meteors! Each fragment contained terrifying impact force and foul power, smashing countless craters into the void.

"Impossible!!!" The projection of the Blood Prison Great Sage's will roared in disbelief, and the blood flames on his demonic face throbbed violently.

The divine body is the foundation of the ruler of chaos.

A top-tier divine body in the Chaos Realm is rare but not uncommon. The Blood Prison Great Sage himself possessed a divine body of this caliber, but he doubted that his own divine body could unleash such a powerful burst of energy!
"A frog in a well cannot comprehend the ocean." Xu Yang stood with his fist retracted, golden light flowing across his knuckles, completely unharmed. If it were merely a top-tier Chaos Realm divine body honed through ordinary means, it wouldn't be this terrifying. However, this divine body was advanced through the absorption of 'Primordial Qi' via the system panel, making it exceptionally profound!
He calmly looked at the blood-red demon face, whose aura was slightly disordered due to the shattered demon coffin, and said, "What other tricks do you have up your sleeve? If that's all you have to offer, then you, this projection of your will, may remain here."

"Arrogance!" The Blood Prison Great Sage was utterly enraged. To be so disrespected by an unknown nobody was an utter disgrace. "When I roamed the Chaos, you, a mere junior, were not even born yet. Today, I will show you what the true Blood Prison Great Dao is!"

"Blood Sacrifice of Ten Thousand Spirits - Locking Gods with Vengeful Souls!"

Boom!

The shattered sea of ​​blood regrouped and surged even more frantically.

Countless vengeful spirits, tormented and consumed by the sea of ​​blood for millions of years, emerged from the depths of the sea of ​​blood, howling in pain. These vengeful spirits were filled with endless pain, hatred, and curses, and their power was forcibly extracted and condensed by the sea of ​​blood.

Among them are many vengeful spirits at the Chaos Realm level!

Countless dark red chains, composed of pure resentment, curses, and filth, burst forth from the sea of ​​blood like living things. Ignoring spatial distance, these chains instantly traversed the void, their target not being Xu Yang's physical body, but directly coiling around his soul essence.

This is one of the Blood Prison Great Sage's killing moves!

With the curse power of endless vengeful spirits, it defiles the opponent's soul and erodes their connection with the primordial Dao. Once locked in, at best, one's Dao heart will be clouded and strength greatly reduced; at worst, the foundation of the Dao will be corrupted, cultivation will regress, and one may even be devoured by the vengeful spirits.

As Xu Yang's avatar looked at the chains of vengeful spirits shooting down from the sky, a strange light flashed in his eyes for the first time—not solemnity, but... a hint of cold mockery.

"A vengeful spirit? A curse?"

Instead of dodging, he slowly opened his arms, as if to welcome him.

"Nirvana...is also the final destination. Your suffering of oblivion will be ended by me today!"

As he spoke in a deep voice, a more profound, vast, and pure sense of destruction emanated from his avatar. At its core was no longer mere annihilation, but rather contained a supreme truth: "Returning to the Void and Nurturing the Spirit!"

Nirvana is not the end, but the beginning of new life!
The withering of all things is also part of the cycle of laws. This power of vengeful spirits and curses is also a form of "existence," and it is also under the shroud of annihilation.

hum!
Xu Yang transformed into an invisible vortex of annihilation, and the chains of vengeful spirits that shot down from the sky flew like moths to a flame the moment they came into contact with this aura.

Chi chi chi——! ! !
The piercing shriek turned into a mournful wail.

The filthy curses and venomous hatred that bound the chains of vengeful spirits melted and disintegrated rapidly, like ice and snow exposed to the scorching sun. Under the cleansing influence of the annihilating aura, the distorted, tormented faces of the vengeful spirits that formed the chains gradually calmed, the madness in their eyes faded, and they finally transformed into specks of pure soul light, dissipating like fireflies into the vortex of annihilation.

They were not destroyed, but were instead purified and transcended by this profound meaning of annihilation.

It has returned to its most primal spiritual state at the beginning of its existence!
"No—!!!" The projection of the Blood Prison Great Sage's will let out a shrill scream for the first time, filled with heartache and rage. These vengeful spirits were an important source of power for his Blood Prison Demon Pool, the result of his endless years of collecting and tormenting!

How could they be so easily purified and exorcised by the other party?!

"How dare you! How dare you destroy my foundation!!" The Blood Prison Demon Face went completely mad, the sea of ​​blood contracted violently, and all power began to converge towards the core of the demon face. A terrifying wave, enough to destroy the earth and plunge chaos into oblivion, was brewing wildly. "I will annihilate you, body and soul!"

"Blood Prison's End - Great Devastation!"

The entire demonic face covering the starry sky began to collapse inward, condensing into an incomparably deep, dark red dot that seemed capable of swallowing all light.

Within the origin, the most extreme destructive power that the projection of the Blood Prison Great Sage's will could mobilize was brewing—the ultimate power that would cause the blood sea to dry up and all living beings to perish.

Xu Yang's expression finally turned serious.

The opponent is about to detonate the core essence of this projection of will, launching a final, all-or-nothing attack. This power is already infinitely close to the full-force attack of the Blood Prison Great Sage's true form!

He didn't hesitate at all.

With a thought, the dark and heavy Black Emperor Claw appeared in his hand.

With the Chaos Treasure in hand, Xu Yang's aura instantly became incredibly sharp, and his human claws seemed to merge into one, transforming into a world-shattering hand capable of tearing apart the heavens.

"Pseudo-World: Return to Ruins!"

Xu Yang transformed and growled, his claws pointing directly at the dark red origin that was collapsing wildly and emitting a world-destroying aura.

Buzz—! !! (End of Chapter)
