Swallowed Star: Lord of the Wolf

Fenxue's expression changed, and he hesitated for a moment, but then he saw that the guard beside him suddenly moved.

The white crystal core on Shu's chest suddenly burst forth with a dazzling silver light. Countless intricate spatial runes and coordinate patterns flowed within this light, instantly completing precise positioning and channel construction over extremely long distances.

hum! ! !
A vast, profound, and terrifying aura, imbued with endless demonic mysteries, suddenly tore open from the void beside Xu without warning.

The space split open to both sides like a water curtain, and a middle-aged Taoist figure, dressed in a simple Taoist robe, with his hair tied up in a high bun, a thin face, and eyes that seemed to contain the cycle of birth and death of the universe, stepped out.

He didn't exude any imposing aura, but the surrounding demonic energy seemed to freeze and retreat for a moment wherever he stood.

The visitor was none other than Master Xuanji.

He actually used the special teleportation coordinates within his body to directly descend to this place from the Holy Radiance Temple headquarters, which was in confrontation with the Pope of Light.

"A mystery?!" The Blood-Burning Yin God exclaimed in shock, his heart filled with astonishment. He never expected that his old friend would arrive here so quickly in this way.

Master Xuanji simply nodded slightly to Fenxue; their eyes met, and everything was understood without a word.

Immediately, his eyes fell on Mo Yan, whose face had turned completely gloomy not far away.

“A visitor from outside the boundary has crossed the line.” Master Xuanji’s voice was calm and composed, yet it carried an air of dominance.

Mo Yan's pupils contracted as he stared at Xuanji Shangren: "Great Celestial God? No... His aura is somewhat strange, somewhere between a Great Celestial God and a God Emperor, but he has been 'elevated' by the rules of this realm... A native peak being?" He instantly judged Xuanji Shangren's approximate level, and his apprehension rose sharply.

In the outside world, he could easily destroy a mere ant at the level of a great god.

But at this moment, his form is suppressed by the supreme rules, and he can only exert one-hundredth of his strength. At most, he is equivalent to the Great Perfection of the Yin Heaven God in this world, and he is even subject to environmental interference.

On the other hand, Master Xuanji was clearly in perfect condition and was thriving in this world, even controlling some kind of strange puppet that he couldn't yet understand.

"Who is this friend? This is a matter between me and the owner of this place, please do not interfere." Mo Yan said in a deep voice, trying to buy time. The gray jade slip in his sleeve spun faster and continued to contact the mountain of flesh.

"The owner of this place?" Master Xuanji's lips curled into a cold smile. "Xue Luo is an old friend of mine. His affairs are my affairs."

Before he finished speaking——

"Heaven and Earth Lock the Abyss!"

Master Xuanji suddenly waved his sleeve.

Wow! ! !
Countless array symbols, array plates, and array flags, shimmering with various mysterious lights such as gold, silver, purple, and black, seemed to come alive as they poured out from his sleeves.

Their sheer number and variety instantly obscured a small portion of the abyss sky.

These array devices did not fly around randomly, but each followed a trajectory and instantly located its position.

Some disappeared into the void, connecting with the earth's veins; some embedded themselves in spatial folds, stabilizing dimensions; some landed directly around that terrifying mountain of flesh, forming layers upon layers of seals and isolations; and a large number of array flags surrounded the entire edge of the abyss world, blocking all entrances and exits and isolating the inside from the outside!
Buzz! Buzz! Buzz! Buzz! Buzz...

Layer upon layer of enormous light membranes, visible to the naked eye and composed of countless laws and patterns, were generated, superimposed, and merged out of thin air at an astonishing speed.

Just a fraction of a second!

A super complex array covering the entire Abyss World has been fully formed.

As the array's light swirled, the originally violent and chaotic primordial demonic energy within the abyss was forcibly organized and tamed, flowing slowly along a mysterious trajectory, and instead becoming part of the array's energy cycle.

Mo Yan's expression changed drastically!

He felt that his already suppressed strength was further weakened by this great formation! The gray analytical ripples around his body emitted a "sizzling" sound when they came into contact with the light of the formation, and were quickly neutralized.

"What kind of formation is this?!" Mo Yan was shocked.

This is absolutely not a formation that should exist in this world!
The spatial confinement, law analysis, and energy transformation contained within are exquisite and form a complete system, which is absolutely beyond the comprehension of the natives of this world.

Even he himself, who had entered many worlds, would not dare to guarantee that he could create such a formation.

Master Xuanji stood at the core of the great formation, his Taoist robe fluttering without wind, his gaze calm as he looked down at Mo Yan, as if looking down at a flying insect caught in a net.

"Now, you have two choices."

"First, immediately leave this realm and swear an oath to never reveal any information about this place. I can open a corner of the formation to allow you to leave."

“Two…” A cold glint flashed in Master Xuanji’s eyes, “…to leave them behind completely.”

At the same time, Xu's dark gold figure moved silently, forming a triangle with Xuanji Shangren and Fenxue Yinshen, surrounding Mo Yan in the center.

Its white light core locked onto Mo Yan, its internal energy accumulating, and its cold voice rang out again:
"Target threat level reassessed: High. 'Expel or eliminate' option recommended. Authorize 'Defense' cooperative operations?"

Master Xuanji nodded slightly: "Approved."

hum!
The silver runes on the surface of the body suddenly lit up, and a fighting aura that was far more intense and "professional" than before spread out.

At this moment, the Blood-Burning Yin God completely suppressed his distracting thoughts, his blood sea churning, and his killing intent locked onto Mo Yan.

He knew that now was not the time for reminiscing; he had to take this opportunity to eliminate this most dangerous outsider.

Mo Yan felt the almost solidified pressure of the surrounding array and the undisguised killing intent from the three sides, his expression shifting between anger and uncertainty. He never expected that this "treasure hunt," which he thought would be a sure thing, would take such an unexpected turn.

A strange demonic wolf suspected of being related to a high-level fragment of Chaos Origin, and a native Great God who controls bizarre puppets and possesses profound mastery of formations...

"It seems... I have no choice but to get serious." Mo Yan took a deep breath, and the gentle, scholarly air in his eyes vanished instantly, replaced by a cold killing intent.

He slowly raised his right hand, and the gray jade slip floated above his palm, spinning rapidly, its gray light shining brightly.

"I intended to obtain the key in the most lenient way... but since you're courting death..."

"Then let me show you what... the methods of the Hunyuan Walkers are."

boom! ! !
"Enough with the nonsense... Town!"

Master Xuanji gave a low shout, and his hands formed a mudra that resembled a lotus.

Om-! ! !
The super array that enveloped the entire Abyss World came to life. Countless chains of laws, composed of golden runes, emerged from the void in all directions, layer upon layer, like a net covering the heavens and the earth, strangling and entangling Mo Yan at the center. Each chain contained terrifying power to imprison space and suppress the Great Dao. Wherever it passed, even the inherent chaotic demonic energy of the Abyss was forcibly pushed aside and transformed into nourishment for the array.

"Hmph! A little trick!"

Although Mo Yan was suppressed, his vision and methods as a late-stage God Emperor remained. The illusory book formed from the gray jade slip he held in his right hand flipped to a certain page with a rustling sound.

"Break the spell, deconstruct it!" Countless gray runes shot up from the pages, transforming into sharp gray rays of light that precisely cut and disintegrated the golden chains that were wrapping around them.

Chi chi chi——! ! !
The golden and gray light collided and annihilated wildly.

The golden chains continued to shatter, but the gray light was also rapidly depleting. The power of the formation was inexhaustible, but Mo Yan's activation of the jade slip was clearly consuming a lot of energy, and his face paled even more.

"Burning the Heavens and Boiling the Seas!" The Blood God seized the opportunity, condensing the Blood Sea Domain to its extreme, transforming it into a giant blood blade that stretched across the heavens and earth, burning with dark red karmic fire, and fiercely slashed at Mo Yan from the side and rear.

He had given it his all in this attack!

"Get in the way!" Mo Yan didn't even turn his head. He waved his left hand behind him, and a strange metal piece, about the size of a palm, shaped like a round shield, with a surface that shimmered like mercury, flew out from his sleeve.

Ding--! ! !
The blood-red blade struck the metal plate, producing a deafening clang of metal striking metal. The metal plate remained completely still, its surface shimmering with a mercury-like sheen, effectively absorbing and reflecting all the terrifying burning and corrosive power from the blood-red blade.

puff!
The Blood-Burning Yin God was struck as if by a heavy blow; his blood-red blade shattered, and he was sent flying backward. His domain trembled violently, nearly collapsing. He was horrified: "What kind of treasure is that?! My full-force attack was blocked so easily?!"

The difference is too big!
Even though Mo Yan was suppressed to the peak of the second level of God King, the secret treasures he possessed and the exquisite way he used his power far exceeded Burning Blood's understanding.

at this time--

call out!
A highly condensed and silent dark gold ray shot from an extremely tricky angle, aiming straight for Mo Yan's back.

Shu made his move!

Mo Yan sensed the danger, frowned, and had to spare a bit of his attention to control the mercury shield to move instantly behind him.

Ding!
The dark gold rays struck the round shield and were mostly absorbed, but this time, a ripple was clearly visible on the surface of the shield, unlike when it easily blocked the Blood Burning attack.

"This puppet... its attack penetration and energy concentration are very strange!" Mo Yan felt a chill run down his spine. Shu's attack seemed insignificant, but its threat level was much greater than that of the Burning Blood Yin God.

"Heaven and earth are reversed, and the five elements are in chaos!" How could Master Xuanji let this opportunity pass by?
He stepped out with profound martial arts techniques, and the formation changed again!

Boom!

In the Abyss World, the five elements of metal, wood, water, fire, and earth suddenly became disordered and reversed. The originally stable spatial structure began to distort, the direction of gravity became chaotic, scorching flames spewed from the cold ground, and sharp metal energy condensed into water droplets in the void...

This is not an illusion, but a powerful formation that forcibly alters and distorts the underlying rules of a certain part of the abyss.

Mo Yan suddenly felt a sinking sensation all over his body, as if he were sinking into a quagmire. Even the circulation of his divine power became somewhat sluggish, and the light of the gray book also dimmed slightly.

His forte, "analysis," requires a relatively stable rule environment. Now that the rules have been forcibly disrupted, it greatly interferes with his work.

"An opportunity." Xuanji Shangren's eyes flashed with a sharp light, and his figure disappeared from the spot like a ghost. The next moment, he appeared directly above Mo Yan's head and pressed down with a palm.

This palm strike, seemingly light and airy, seemed to contain the cycle of birth and death of a miniature universe within its palm, with endless array runes flowing, combining, and erupting within it.

It is a perfect combination of the Dao of Array and one's own Great Dao!
"The Palm of Returning All Things to Nothingness!"

Before the palm even arrived, the space around Mo Yan began to collapse inch by inch and return to nothingness. The gray book flipped wildly, and the deconstruction light it emitted collided with the collapsing space, producing a piercing cracking sound.

Mo Yan's expression finally changed!

Even he wouldn't dare to take that blow head-on.

"Escape!" he shouted, and with a tap of his foot, his figure transformed into a wisp of gray smoke, merging into the chaotic rules around him, thus avoiding the fatal palm strike.

At the same time, the mercury shield and the gray book light merged into one, protecting the vital points around the body.

boom--! ! !
Master Xuanji pressed his palm into empty space, triggering a small-scale annihilation storm that turned that area into complete chaos.

Mo Yan's figure re-condensed thousands of feet away. Although he avoided a direct confrontation, a corner of his robe had vanished into nothingness, and his aura was also quite disordered, clearly indicating that he had paid a price.

His gaze toward Master Xuanji was filled with apprehension and coldness.

"Fine, what a native who's mastered the Dao of Arrays!" Mo Yan's voice was icy. He no longer tried to hold back, and suddenly bit his tongue, spitting a mouthful of pale golden blood, rich with divinity and the imprint of the Great Dao, onto the gray book.

The book suddenly burst forth with a dazzling gray-gold light, its volume expanded again, and the pages moved at an extreme speed without wind, spreading a terrifying aura.

"Chaotic Source Secret Code·Prologue - Codex Spirit!"

Wow——! ! !
From within the book, a huge ancient character for "spirit" flew out, composed of countless twisted gray runes. This character was clearly never seen before, yet its meaning was immediately apparent.

Wherever it passed, the chains of laws and the light membrane formed by the array immediately became blurred and transparent.

The "Myriad Transformations Locking Source Array" set up by Master Xuanji was forcibly eroded and disintegrated by this word "spirit"!
"They're going all out now?" Master Xuanji's eyes were solemn. Numerous array seals flew out from his sleeves and merged into the void. At the same time, his figure flickered as he engaged in close combat with Mo Yan. The dark golden rays of his sword also shot out like venomous snakes from time to time, interfering with Mo Yan's spellcasting.

Watching the battle that was completely beyond his level, the Blood-Burning Yin God felt a mixture of shock and anxiety. His strength was insufficient; rushing forward might become an opening. He could only activate his Blood Sea from the outside, assisting the formation and distracting Mo Yan's mind.

The battle has temporarily reached a stalemate.

Master Xuanji had a slight advantage due to his home field advantage and ingenious formation, but Mo Yan had a series of trump cards up his sleeve, especially the gray book, whose power was unpredictable and difficult to defeat in the short term.

……

Above the sinking star sea.

Bai Yu kept a close eye on the movements of the Blood Burning Yin God, waiting for a reply.

However, all the attempts to send messages went unanswered!
"This is bad." Bai Yu's heart sank. There were only two possibilities for the lack of response from Burning Blood—either he was in danger and unable to respond, or the Burning Blood Yin Spirit did not want to respond.

Either way, it means something terrible has happened at the Ancient Well of the Demon Source.

Sure enough, someone had already secretly infiltrated those three extraterrestrial god emperors!

"We can't delay any longer!" Bai Yu's eyes sharpened.

The allure of the Hunyuan opportunity is too great. If that person from outside the realm succeeds, all the benefits he has gained and the opportunities he will have in the future may vanish into thin air!

boom! ! !
His enormous chaotic claw suddenly swung forward, combining its violent devouring power with its savage physical strength to transform into a pitch-black claw beam that tore apart the sky and the earth, directly ripping apart Duan Qing's river of sword energy and the Archbishop of Radiance's torrent of holy light.

"Give me back my sect's life?!" Duan Qing roared, locking onto Bai Yu with his invincible sword intent, about to unleash a killing move.

"Get lost!" Bai Yu had no intention of fighting. His demonic body trembled, and countless devouring vortexes around him spun wildly, forming a huge devouring force field shield. He withstood the attacks of Duan Qing and Hui Guang. At the same time, he swept his demonic energy and forcibly pulled Le Yin Shen and Hun Yin Shen, who were fighting with Qing Ming Zi, Roland and others not far away, to his side.

"Let's go!" (End of Chapter)
