Swallowed Star: Lord of the Wolf

Xueyin could feel that every inch of his flesh and blood was changing.

The physical body, which was originally dominated by the power of destruction, now has an additional "chaotic" characteristic—it can devour, evolve, destroy, and create.

"Try the power."

With a thought, Xue Yin clenched his right fist.

Black, chaotic divine power condensed on his fist, forming a tiny vortex. He punched into the void—

"boom!"

A black hole was blasted out of the space in front of them, with countless tiny vortexes spinning around its edge, frantically devouring everything around it.

This attack is more than 30% more powerful than pure Destruction God's power. Moreover, it comes with a devouring effect, continuously weakening the enemy.

"Such a powerful inheritance." A look of joy flashed in Xueyin's eyes, but then a hint of doubt appeared. A top-grade inheritance... it seemed a bit too easy for him to get started.

It should be understood that the threshold for a top-tier inheritance is extremely high. It is possible to truly achieve the level of a God-King, but the probability is extremely low. There may not be a single God-King in an entire Origin World who can cultivate to a high level; even just entering the realm is considered a rare achievement.

"Perhaps it's because my talent is suited to it, plus the aid of the Mind-Concentrating Incense." Xueyin didn't dwell on it for long before putting the question out of his mind.

Anyway, it's good that you can get started quickly.

The first level of the Chaotic Beast Body technique is already so powerful, even though it's just the beginning. If one were to cultivate to the second or third level, who knows how powerful it would become?

“However, this is just the beginning.” Blood Shadow composed himself and looked at the remaining treasures.

He looked at the Destruction Source Liquid, a treasure that could aid in the cultivation of the Chaotic Beast Body.

He uncorked the bottle, and an extremely pure aura of destruction wafted out. The bottle contained only a single drop of black liquid, yet it seemed to contain the very essence of the entire universe's destruction.

Without hesitation, Xueyin tilted his head back and swallowed it.

"boom--"

The source of destruction exploded instantly upon entering the body.

The pure source of destruction surged through his body like a volcanic eruption, impacting every inch of flesh and every cell. Xue Yin felt as if his body was about to burst apart by this power.

He hurriedly activated the Chaos Beast Body, and the Chaos Core in his heart spun wildly, beginning to devour and refine this violent source of destruction.

This is a painful process.

The source of destruction was too pure and too domineering; even the Chaos Core struggled to absorb it. Blood Shadow's body constantly cycled between destruction and rebirth, each cycle making it stronger.

I do not know how long it has been.

Xueyin opened his eyes and exhaled a long breath.

The turbid breath was black, and wherever it passed, the void was corroded with cracks.

"My progress on the Great Dao of Destruction has been considerable." Blood Shadow sensed the changes within his body.

After consuming the Destruction Source Liquid, his understanding of the rules of destruction improved significantly. Although he was still far from reaching the second level of the God King realm, he could already see a glimmer of hope.

More importantly, the Chaotic Beast Body was also strengthened during the process of refining the source of destruction.

What was originally a nascent chaotic core has now become much more stable, rotating faster and absorbing more powerfully. The chaotic characteristics within the physical body are also more pronounced.

"Next, it's all about the slow and steady progress."

The Chaotic Beast Body cannot be mastered in a day; it requires not only a large amount of resources but also a large amount of time.

However, the Concentration Incense has a long duration of effect, and Blood Shadow would not let it burn in vain.

He picked up the Seven Emotions Stone.

The colorful crystal felt warm to the touch, as if countless emotions and light were flowing within it. Xue Yin sank into his consciousness, beginning to perceive the fluctuations of the seven emotions contained within.

Joy, anger, sorrow, fear, love, hate, and desire—the power of the seven basic emotions intertwines and collides within the crystal, forming a unique rhythmic pattern.

Xueyin, who wields the power of joy, is already acutely aware of emotions. Now, with the aid of the Seven Emotions Stone, his understanding of the Great Dao of the Seven Emotions is rapidly improving.

"I see……"

Blood Shadow closed his eyes and began to comprehend the "Authority of Wrath".

In the Seven Emotions Path, "Anger" and the Path of Destruction have a natural point of convergence. Anger is often accompanied by destruction and annihilation, and the two can transform into and reinforce each other at the level of rules.

Guided by the Seven Emotions Stone, the destructive power within Blood Hidden's body began to resonate with the emotion of "rage".

Gradually, faint red lines appeared on his body, and a crimson glint flashed in his eyes. A violent rage rose within him, yet it was firmly controlled by his powerful will.

“Angry but not mad, destructive but not annihilated…” Blood Shadow murmured to himself.

He stretched out his palm, and a ball of crimson flame condensed in his palm. This flame was both the power of destruction and contained a faint power of "rage".

Blood Shadow threw the flames into the air.

Crimson flames exploded, transforming into countless tiny raindrops of fire. Each drop of fire contained a raging fury, capable of igniting the rage within an enemy and driving them to madness.

"Combining emotional attacks with physical attacks..." Xueyin seemed to be deep in thought.

A simple destructive attack can be withstood by an enemy's divine power. However, if the attack contains emotional power, it can simultaneously affect the enemy's mind, leaving them beset by internal and external troubles.

"The Seven Emotions Dao is indeed profound."

……

Within the underground formation, time seemed to lose its meaning.

Blood Shadow sometimes comprehends the "Chaotic Beast Body", sometimes uses the Seven Emotions Stone to comprehend the Great Dao of the Seven Emotions, and sometimes enters a state of deep meditation.

His skills are steadily improving.

In the blink of an eye, nearly ten thousand years have passed in the outside world, and this stick of incense for concentration is about to burn out.

On this day, Xueyin suddenly opened his eyes.

He sensed that the core of the chaotic energy within his body had reached a critical point and was beginning to undergo a qualitative change.

"Are you about to move in?"

Blood Shadow activated his cultivation technique with all his might, guiding the Chaos Core to devour the energy of the Destruction Source Liquid. At the same time, the underground array operated frantically, as if all the energy above Blood Shadow City was being drawn away and gathered into Blood Shadow's body.

The chaotic core was like a bottomless pit, greedily devouring this energy. Its volume began to expand, growing from the size of a pinhead to the size of a grain of rice, then to the size of a fingernail…

Ultimately, the Chaos Core stabilized at the size of a fist.

"The first level of the Chaotic Beast Body is complete." Blood Shadow stood up.

With a thought, countless black vortex patterns appeared on his body. These patterns rotated slowly like living things, emanating a powerful aura of devouring.

Blood Shadow attempted to mobilize the power of the Chaos God. With a single punch, the void in front of him collapsed, forming a persistent Chaos Void. This Chaos Void frantically devoured everything around it, not even light could escape.

"Its power is more than five times stronger than before when I first started learning." Blood Shadow nodded in satisfaction.

His physical body now possesses some of the characteristics of a Chaos Void. Not only has his defense been greatly increased, but he can also absorb enemy attacks and convert them into his own power.

"Try the Seven Emotions Path."

Blood Shadow withdrew his Chaos God Power and began to mobilize the power of the Seven Emotions.

Joy, anger, sorrow, and fear—these four emotions circulate within him. This is what he has gained over ten thousand years. Although he is still only scratching the surface of each emotion, he has barely grasped the basics.

He is now trying to combine them with the power of the Chaos God.

This is a bold attempt.

Emotional power is ethereal and intangible, while the power of chaotic energy is domineering and unparalleled; the two are fundamentally different. Forcibly fusing them could very well trigger conflict, leading to a loss of control over their powers.

However, Xueyin has the "Chaotic Beast Body" as its foundation, and its divine body is even more solid than a God King's first-level weapon, giving it the ability to resist the harm caused by the loss of control over its power.

The core characteristic of the Chaos Void is its "all-encompassing" nature, allowing it to accommodate various Great Dao powers. Under the harmonization of the Chaos Void's divine power, the power of the Seven Emotions actually began to merge with the power of destruction.

A quarter of an hour later, a strange energy ball appeared in Xueyin's right palm.

The outer layer of the energy sphere is black chaotic divine power, the middle layer is crimson destructive divine power, and the core is a swirling interplay of the seven emotions in four colors.

"go."

Blood Shadow threw the energy ball at a puppet in the distance.

The energy ball flew out and exploded upon contact.

The black chaotic power formed a devouring domain, sucking everything around it into it. The crimson destructive power raged within the domain, destroying all matter, while the four colors of the seven emotions, like invisible ripples, penetrated all defenses and directly affected the consciousness of the puppet doll.

"What a powerful combination attack." A glint flashed in Blood Shadow's eyes.

This attack possesses the triple effects of physical, energy, and mental attacks. Unless the enemy's physical body, divine power, and will are all exceptionally strong, it is difficult to withstand.

"However, it also consumes a lot of energy." Blood Shadow felt the emptiness in his body.

That last attack consumed one percent of his divine power. In a prolonged battle, such attacks cannot be used frequently.

As for proficiency?

It takes about 15 minutes the first time, but you'll naturally get faster once you get the hang of it.

"I still need to continue improving my cultivation."

Blood Shadow sat down cross-legged and began to recover his divine power.

While he was cultivating, another new development occurred on Bai Yu's side.

……

Feeling the black powder vortex in his palm that fused with dual powers and the unique fluctuations it released, Bai Yu realized that this was the foundation of his future path—by absorbing all laws and controlling all emotions, he would eventually evolve into his own Seven Emotions Devouring Realm, becoming the true master of the Seven Emotions and the controller of the minds of all things.

This is a future path with boundless potential, even one that breaks free from constraints!

Although it is just getting started, it has already shown a promising future.

The future is promising, far exceeding that of ordinary single-power holders.

The light slowly faded, and Bai Yu looked around. This action had caused too much of a commotion, not only alarming the entire Thousand Desires Demon Palace, but also potentially attracting the attention of some ancient beings.

Although the breakthrough went smoothly, there will likely be many troubles afterward, and I need to deal with the aftermath as soon as possible and leave this place. Otherwise, if a truly powerful enemy arrives and my foundation is not yet stable after the breakthrough, I may not be able to come out on top.

Thinking this, his gaze returned to the two figures below, a thoughtful look flashing in his eyes as he considered how to deal with these two witnesses—whether to silence them to eliminate any future trouble, or…

However, before he could make a decision—

Mutant Regeneration!!!

From the depths of the still-lingering dark rift above the ruins of the Demon Palace, a violent fluctuation suddenly arose, followed by a divine thought so powerful that it made the space itself tremble, sweeping across without any concealment.

Instantly locking onto the white jade suspended in the center of the ruins, as well as Karum and the old demon on the ground, this divine thought was filled with majesty and indifference, carrying a superior and unquestionable sense of judgment, as if looking down on ants.

The power contained within it far surpasses that of the newly broken-through Bai Yu by at least one level. Clearly, it is a seasoned Yin Tian God who has been famous for many years and has come to investigate and hold accountable those who have noticed the anomaly here!
As expected, a cold and majestic voice resounded through the void immediately afterward: "Who dares to kill, plunder, and disrupt my plans here, seizing the power and inheritance of the Leyin lineage? State your name immediately, or today will be the day you die!"

Before the words were finished, a dazzling five-colored streak of light pierced the dark abyss sky from the distant horizon and flew rapidly toward this place.

Wherever the streak of light passed, the void trembled, and all laws retreated. All matter and energy along the way were forcibly dispersed, opening up a wide passage, revealing the unfathomable strength of the one who revealed it, far surpassing that of ordinary people who had just broken through.

The immense pressure had enveloped the entire area, several times stronger than the commotion caused by Bai Yu's breakthrough earlier. It made the space creak and the ground collapse even deeper, crushing the ruins into powder.

Many members of the Thousand Desires Palace, who were at the level of great demon gods, were so overwhelmed by the pressure that their souls were scattered and they perished on the spot, turning into dust.

He died under mysterious circumstances!
Karum and the old demon trembled under this oppressive force, their thoughts almost stopping.

They recognized who the master of this divine thought was and why the other party had come, and hope rose in their hearts at the same time.

Le Yin Shen!
The master of the Blood-Clad Demoness!

This calamity is unlikely to end well. The God of Joyful Yin is no pushover and will not easily let go of those who disrupt his plans.

Especially this newly emerged being, who in a sense stole the opportunities and fortune that should have belonged to him. This person who plundered the results of the Blood-Clad Demoness's ritual has been caught red-handed.

This cause and effect, once formed, will likely lead to an irreconcilable conflict, with no room for reconciliation...

I only hope that when the great battle breaks out, I can escape by chance. Even if I am left with only a wisp of my soul, it would be better than being completely annihilated.

Faced with this sudden and powerful enemy's lock on, Bai Yu's eyes showed no fear, but rather a clear understanding that she had expected this.

He knew things wouldn't be that simple; a more powerful figure behind the Blood-Clad Demoness had come knocking.

Yeah.

Running away is not the solution; you have to try it out to know what the future holds.

It's a good opportunity to test the depth of my new breakthrough and see what kind of methods this so-called senior Yin Tian God really possesses.

If one's strength were average, they might have received another great gift today to accelerate their growth.

If one's strength is exceptional, it's not too late to find a way to escape. In any case, there's the Origin Continent as a way out, and abandoning this clone isn't an unbearable loss.

Having made up her mind, Bai Yu put away the vortex of black powder in her palm and slowly looked up in the direction from which the streak of light had come.

His gaze was calm and indifferent, without any emotion.

The newly formed Devouring Core within his body slowly accelerated its rotation, gathering momentum to prepare for its first truly formidable battle after its breakthrough.

The outcome of this battle will determine his foothold in this world of origin, and he cannot afford to be careless. He must go all out to have any chance of fighting his way to a higher level. (End of Chapter)
