Swallowed Star: Lord of the Wolf

He saw—

Where the heart fragment landed, it corroded the earth, transforming it into a bottomless well from which chaotic demonic energy surged forth, distorting all the surrounding laws and gradually transforming that area into the prototype of the "Ten Thousand Demon Continent"...

He saw—

Throughout the long course of history, several wills so powerful as to transcend comprehension have swept across this world...

The image freezes in the present moment.

Deep within the Abyss, on the surface of the ancient well's water, a strange rune, as fine as dust, had appeared out of nowhere. The rune was translucent, almost blending into the well water; it would have been impossible to detect without the Golden Finger panel directly locking onto its source!

At this moment, the rune was slowly sinking into the depths of the well!

With each step of subsidence, the "connection" between the runes and the dormant power deep within the ancient well strengthens.

This rune is the source of that fluctuation just now!

"Mark...track...or...awaken?"

Bai Yu's eyes were serious.

Judging from the feedback, this rune is of an incredibly high level, and its "creator" is far more advanced than I am. However, it seems to be subject to some kind of restriction, unable to manifest directly, and can only infiltrate subtly in this way.

Bai Yu stared intently at the slowly sinking rune, a cold glint in his eyes. Whatever was behind the rune, the fact remained that it had infiltrated his current dwelling place.

Passive waiting is definitely not his style.

An unprecedented will to "seize" erupted from the depths of the panel!

That wasn't Bai Yu's intention, but rather a mechanism inherent in the Golden Finger itself.

puff--

Looking back at the footage, a very thin, almost invisible black thread was forcibly pulled from the gap...

No, not a wisp.

It's just a trace!
The black mist was so fine that it was almost negligible.

But the moment the black aura appeared, the entire tracing image began to distort and crack, as if it could not bear the weight of the origin it contained!

Almost at the same time——

Click.

Inside the quiet room, a crack the thickness of a hair suddenly appeared in the void in front of Bai Yu.

A wisp of demonic energy, so dense and black it seemed capable of devouring all light, escaped from it.

There were no earth-shattering phenomena, no deafening roars.

only……

heavy!

The moment this wisp of demonic energy appeared, the gravity in the entire quiet room increased a hundredfold, and the floor supporting the array silently sank half an inch!

The air was frozen solid!

"What a terrifying concentration..."

Bai Yu's pupils suddenly contracted.

This wisp of demonic energy is completely different from the omnipresent decaying demonic energy in the Abyss—it is more ancient, more refined, and more… domineering, as if it has condensed the most primordial dark essence at the beginning of chaos.

And this was merely a tiny bit that the Golden Finger forcibly extracted from the depths of that ancient well.

The wisp of primordial chaotic demonic energy hovered before him, slowly rotating, each rotation causing a slight distortion in the surrounding space. It seemed to be "sizing up" the white jade, or perhaps searching for some kind of resonance.

Then--

Whoosh!
Without warning, the black energy seeped into Bai Yu's brow.

It wasn't that the white jade actively absorbed it; rather, it... crawled inside on its own.

Boom——! ! !
It felt as if billions of volcanoes were erupting simultaneously within my body, or as if an endless sea of ​​stars was exploding in my soul.

Bai Yu trembled violently, and countless fine bloodstains instantly cracked on the surface of his skin. Each drop of blood that seeped out had an eerie black luster and fell to the ground as heavy as a mercury bead with a muffled "plop" sound.

pain!
An indescribable, excruciating pain emanated from the depths of every cell; it was not merely a tearing sensation, but a deeper, more fundamental "reconstruction" rooted in the very essence of life.

The primordial chaotic demonic energy surged wildly into his limbs and bones, causing flesh and blood to disintegrate and bones to shatter wherever it passed, only to instantly reform in some ancient and resilient way.

The bones were stained with a deep black-gold color, and the liquid flowing deep within the bone marrow turned into a viscous black paste.

The muscle fibers are forcibly stretched, twisted, and woven into a completely new structure, each containing terrifying explosive power.

Faint, dark lines appeared on the skin's surface, like natural runes of the Great Dao.

Even the internal organs are undergoing transformation amidst the violent tremors—the heart beats like a war drum, each pump propelling heavy, lead- and mercury-like black blood throughout the body!

Inside the quiet room, Bai Yu's mind completely immersed itself in the microscopic world of his own body.

He had read many secret scriptures and had a clear understanding of the “Trinity Form”, the “Ten Directions World Form” and the “Twenty-Four Phases Form”.

The Trinity form is very 'basic' and has a relatively simple structure. In the Origin Continent, many chaotic creatures living in the Chaos Layer could possess this level of particle structure.

The Ten Directions World State serves as the physical foundation for the vast majority of powerful individuals who embark on the path to supreme power. Its core lies in constructing a stable, orderly, and self-consistent miniature "world" using ten particles. Though small, this world is complete in all its functions, containing fundamental frameworks such as spatial stability, energy circulation, and the capacity to bear laws. These ten "worlds" are interconnected and nested, forming an even more stable unit, thus progressing layer by layer to constitute the macroscopic physical body. This form is balanced and efficient, serving as the most universal carrier of power and laws, sufficient to support cultivators to reach extremely high realms, and is the ultimate goal pursued by most Yin Heaven Gods and God Kings.

As for the twenty-four phases, that represents a tremendous leap. It is no longer a simple stacking of "worlds." Each basic life unit requires a full two hundred and forty particles. These particles do not aggregate randomly, but rather construct twenty-four phases that fit together perfectly, with spatial superposition states reaching the ultimate stability, according to incredibly profound laws!
If the "Ten Directions World State" is like building a solid ten-story building, then the "Twenty-Four Phases Form" is like constructing a magnificent and mutually supportive tower with twenty-four exquisite floors, whose structural stability, space utilization, and energy carrying capacity increase exponentially!

This is a qualitative change, a sign of truly moving towards a higher level of life.

At this moment, Bai Yu looked inward at himself—

His most basic unit of life is also composed of two hundred and forty particles.

However, their arrangement and movement patterns differ from the "Twenty-Four Phases".

They did not construct any concrete "phase" or "space". The two hundred and forty particles, like two hundred and forty chaotic stars miniaturized to the extreme, are moving at high speed along an incomprehensible trajectory full of chaotic beauty. Each particle is slowly spinning on its own, like a miniature devouring core, while revolving in the dynamic force field network formed by the whole.

Particles are connected to each other through a constantly changing gravitational vortex of varying strengths. These force fields are created and destroyed at times, and collide and merge at others, forming a miniature model of primordial chaos that seems to never stop.

This is a living, fluid, self-evolving chaotic system!

It can do more than just carry energy and laws—it spontaneously devours, transforms, and simulates the characteristics of chaos.

If the "Twenty-Four Phases" represent the pinnacle of order and structure...

So the particle form of Baiyu at this moment points directly to the disordered origin of "chaos" itself. It sacrifices some of the absolute stability of the static structure in exchange for unparalleled adaptability, devouring ability and evolutionary potential!

Each chaotic gravitational collision and annihilation between particles releases a tiny, incredibly pure amount of primordial energy, which nourishes the system itself. Every impact from external energy or laws is partially absorbed, analyzed, or even assimilated by this dynamic system through chaotic simulation.

“This…this is not the ‘Twenty-Four Phases,’ this is…a variant of it!” Bai Yu was shocked. “This is the prototype of the ‘Chaotic Particle State’! Or rather…the starting point of the ‘Infinite Chaotic State’!”

He could clearly perceive the difference and potential—the "Twenty-Four Phase Forms" unit stored and transformed highly purified, ordered divine power. However, the "Chaotic Particle State" unit absorbed and transformed "pseudo-chaotic power," which was closer to the origin and carried a trace of primordial chaos characteristics, and was naturally far superior in quality.

The "Twenty-Four Phases" are like a sophisticated fortress, with impregnable defenses. The "Chaotic Particle State" is like a flowing nebula or the event horizon of a black hole. When an attack comes, it will be partially swallowed, distorted, and dispersed throughout the dynamic system to withstand it, making its defense method more unpredictable and difficult to defend against.

Once the "twenty-four phases" reach two hundred and forty particles, the structure becomes nearly perfect and fixed, and further growth is mainly due to energy accumulation and the inscription of laws. The "chaotic particle state" is different! Two hundred and forty particles are far from its limit. Theoretically, as long as it has enough primordial chaotic source to nourish it and a sufficiently strong will to control it, this dynamic "chaotic nebula model" can continuously add new "stars," evolving into a gravitational network and energy cycle pattern that is billions of times more complex.

Its growth potential is virtually immeasurable!
Most importantly, while the "Twenty-Four Phases" are powerful, they offer no special enhancement to the Devouring Path. The "Chaotic Particle State," however, inherently possesses the chaotic characteristic of devouring everything! Each basic unit is a miniature devouring engine, meaning that when Bai Yu uses devouring-type secret techniques, not only is the energy consumption lower and the power greater, but it may even trigger a resonance with the very essence of his physical body, resulting in unpredictable qualitative changes!
Unfortunately……

"A prototype... merely a prototype that barely ignites a spark..."

Bai Yu felt a deeper sense of regret amidst her joy.

He could "see" many awkward and discordant aspects in the orbits of these 240 "chaotic stars." The dynamic force field network they formed was far from achieving the ideal state of seamless integration and continuous generation. Many more sophisticated particle interaction patterns that "imitated" deeper chaotic rules existed only in theoretical possibilities.

The reason for all this is crystal clear—

Demonic energy is extremely scarce!

The primordial impact and nourishment from that wisp of primordial chaotic demonic energy were only enough to forcibly elevate his life particles from the low-level "trinity form" to this brand-new, infinitely possible starting point, the "pseudo-chaotic particle state".

It's like a genius who has obtained the key to open the treasure trove and the first cornerstone, but still needs mountains of materials and superb building skills to build a magnificent palace.

A thought came to my mind.

Bai Yu slowly raised her right index finger.

No original Dao was mobilized to activate any secret techniques.

It was merely the natural movement of that tiny, "chaotic particle" life unit at the very tip of the index finger—two hundred and forty "chaotic stars" accelerated along a predetermined trajectory within that tiny volume of the fingertip.

laugh--

The air, light, and even the slightest spatial ripples in front of the fingertips were instantly pulled, twisted, and compressed by an invisible force into an absolute point of darkness the size of a pinhead, almost invisible to the naked eye.

The black spot existed for less than one-thousandth of a second before naturally disappearing.

But this fleeting phenomenon was enough to shock the world!

This is merely a slight "breath" from the most basic microscopic unit of the physical body; if countless such units throughout the body were mobilized to work together...

Bai Yu even had a feeling that when he unleashed a full-force punch, the impact of his fist might not generate a violent explosive shockwave. The enemy might instead face a terrifying spectacle of matter being directly decomposed into primordial energy flows, space being temporarily assimilated into a chaotic force field, and all orderly attacks being instantly swallowed up and distorted into disordered turbulence!
The increase in the physical body's strength has reached an unbelievable level.

He felt as if his body had become a precious innate embryo. It was no exaggeration to say that he could withstand the main weapon of a third-level God King with his physical strength alone—because when the weapon attacked, the "chaotic particle state" would spontaneously try to devour the impact energy and distort the destructive laws.

If we could obtain enough high-purity primordial demonic energy...

Perhaps it could truly activate the full potential of every particle? Or even allow the number of particles in each basic unit to exceed the limit of 240? To evolve into a complex system that simulates higher-level chaotic rules?

What level will it reach then?
Have we glimpsed a trace of the secrets of an Emperor-level physical body? Or perhaps something even higher?

The path is already beneath our feet, and the light source is from the well.

Bai Yu withdrew her fingers, stood still for a long time, and then slowly opened her eyes. Her eyes were deep and still like an ancient well, yet they contained an unprecedented desire and certainty for power.

He carefully considered his current state of "disconnection".

His cultivation level in the Great Dao was at the first level of the God-King realm, which corresponds to the level of an ordinary Yin Heaven God. Although the Devouring Great Dao was strong and the Seven Emotions Great Dao was profound and had unlimited potential, he had only mastered one branch and was still within the standard first level of the God-King realm. If he were to fight purely based on the laws of the Great Dao, he would only be a relatively new and capable Yin Heaven God.

But the physical realm is where true transformation occurs. The nascent form of the chaotic particle state elevated his physical foundation to an inconceivable level. With a slight thought, Bai Yu's skin naturally radiated a faint, almost transparent radiance without any conscious effort. This radiance was not an outward projection of divine power, but rather a faint "chaotic domain" formed by the natural overflow of the force field when the physical particles rotated at high speed.

He tried to estimate the strength of the body.

"My physical strength and resilience... probably surpass the vast majority of God King Level 2 main weapons, enough to withstand some weaker God King Level 3 main weapons without damage!"

This is not the result of divine protection or the resistance of laws, but simply refers to the hardness, toughness, and natural resistance to energy impact and law erosion of the physical body itself!
What's even more terrifying is the "activity" of this physical body. It's not as hard as an inanimate object, but possesses an astonishing ability to self-repair, absorb and transform energy, and adapt to external attacks.

"With just this physical body..." Bai Yu's eyes flashed with a sharp light, "I am already invincible in the second level of the God King realm (the peak of the Yin Heaven God realm)! I can even hold my own against those who have just stepped into the ultimate God King realm (the peak of the Yin Heaven God realm)!"

This means that his actual combat strength has undergone a huge leap!
The realm of the Great Dao is fundamental, determining the upper limit of power and the end point of the path.

But the physical body is both a vessel and a weapon. A sufficiently powerful body allows limited strength to unleash destructive power and survivability far exceeding that of others of the same level! (End of Chapter)
