Swallowed Star: Lord of the Wolf

Bai Yu let out a low growl, and the enormous body of the demonic wolf transformed into a dark meteor that pierced through the sea of ​​stars. Ignoring the attacks and roars chasing after it, it identified the direction of the Demon Source Ancient Well and rushed away recklessly.

The speed is so fast, it can be described as extremely fast!
Enveloped in demonic energy, Le Yin Shen and Hun Yin Shen felt a dizzying sensation, followed by the pressure of terrifying speed. Looking at Bai Yu's resolute back, they were both shocked and bewildered, but knew that their only option was to follow closely.

"Where...is he going?" the Soul God asked in confusion.

Le Yinshen looked in that direction, a glint of malice flashing in his eyes: "That direction... is the Ancient Well of Demonic Origin. Could that be the source of all this?"

Le Yin Shen is no longer foolish enough to believe that Bai Yu is a newly-brought-down 'little guy'. He is clearly an old demon who has infiltrated the Ten Thousand Demon Continent to cause trouble... Perhaps his target is the same as the group that attacked today.

However, for now, Bai Yu is still in cahoots with them. He is a demon of the Great God level, and they wouldn't dare to disobey him even if they had a hundred lives.

In the distance, Duan Qing and Archbishop Radiant exchanged a glance, both seeing surprise, hesitation, and deep apprehension in each other's eyes. Bai Yu's terrifying strength had left an indelible mark on their hearts. They knew all too well how terrifying a Great Celestial God-level expert was; seemingly only one realm higher than them, if it came to a life-or-death battle, even if they joined forces, they would ultimately perish on the spot!
Chase?
They were not confident in facing a ferocious demon who was a great god.

Not chasing?

If the revenge for Xuan Yingzi is not avenged, the Hunyuan opportunity that even powerful beings from beyond the realms covet may be missed, and the situation will completely spiral out of control.

Just as Duan Qing gritted his teeth, preparing to call Hui Guang to risk a chase together.

hum!hum!hum!
The three extraterrestrial god emperor avatars that had been hovering around with strange auras—the giant rock man, the butterfly-winged woman, and… the avatar of “Scholar Mo Yan” who should have been the focus of Bai Yu’s attention—simultaneously unleashed speeds far exceeding their previous speeds the moment Bai Yu set off, transforming into three streams of light of different colors and chasing after the direction in which Bai Yu had disappeared without hesitation.

The earthen-yellow light that transformed from the giant rock figure was as heavy as a mountain crushing through the void, producing a rumbling sound; the butterfly-winged woman's transformation was like a distorted and mesmerizing light and shadow, its trajectory unpredictable, yet its speed astonishing...

"They're all gone... Should we chase after them?!" Duan Qing's heart skipped a beat. These three extraterrestrial avatars had been quite cautious before, even somewhat "slacking off," but now they were so decisively chasing after that ferocious demonic wolf?

Archbishop Glorious's expression was also grim; events had completely deviated from His Holiness the Pope's original plan and control. These "allies" clearly had their own calculations.

The only course of action now is to consult His Holiness the Pope again.

……

As the three extraterrestrial avatars pursued them, their divine communication was also proceeding rapidly.

The divine sense of the giant rock avatar was filled with anger and accusation: "Mo Yan! What are you doing?! That demonic wolf suddenly rushed in like a madman, did you secretly send a stronger avatar or even a clone to infiltrate behind our backs?! Your 'Multi-Dimensional Analysis Dao' is enough to support two bodies maintaining considerable combat power in the other world! Tell me... did you discover the exact location of the core fragment and want to keep it for yourself?!"

The butterfly-winged woman, now in her guise, stood alongside the giant rock man: "Mo Yan, isn't this inappropriate? The three of us have a long-standing agreement to share intelligence and opportunities, and we've advanced together as a team. What does this leave us? Or... have you decided to leave our team and go it alone?"

The scholar Mo Yan, who was being questioned, did not slow down and comforted them, "Please calm down, both of you. I can swear by the Great Dao that I have no intention of leaving... I just put an avatar carrying the treasure in, hoping to get it first and eventually take a larger share."

This is perfectly reasonable. In the past, when the three of them went on treasure hunts and adventures in Hunyuan, they did not divide the spoils equally, but rather distributed them reasonably according to their contributions.

Upon hearing this, the anger on the faces of the giant rock man and the butterfly-winged woman's avatars lessened considerably.

The butterfly-winged woman said softly, "Even so, Mo Yan, you should have informed me and Shui Luo beforehand. Wouldn't our chances of success be much greater with our cooperation?"

“Exactly! Now that you’ve located the high-level Chaos Origin fragment, we shouldn’t be playing these childish games with these natives! We should just sneak in with the three of us, grab it, and run! Wouldn’t that be wonderful?” The giant rock man, Shui Luo, muttered, not continuing to get angry, but anyone could hear his dissatisfaction.

"Yes, yes, yes, I was wrong this time." The scholar Mo Yan quickly admitted his mistake, his face full of sincerity. He didn't give his two companions any more room to maneuver. These two companions came from the same source world as him and had been together for countless years. They could be considered to have shared life and death... But faced with an opportunity that could help him transcend to a higher-level Chaos Origin life, Mo Yan had no psychological burden at all in acting alone beforehand!

He genuinely had no intention of keeping it all for himself. After all, high-level Chaos Origin Life Fragments weren't guaranteed to help one transcend the shackles of existence, and besides, they all came from the same Origin World, so they'd run into each other frequently, and there were numerous disciples and descendants entangled with them. If he were to actually obtain it, it would be both morally and logically that he would share the fragments.

However, they didn't know the size of the fragments beforehand!
Mo Yan infiltrated ahead of time to get his hands on all the fragments... How much to divide up then... that depends on his mood, doesn't it?

Unfortunately, they failed to steal the chicken.

“We need to hurry. There’s already a native who’s good at array formations fighting me. That guy has already taken half a step out into the darkness. He’s not someone to mess with.”

"What kind of array formation is that? I hate guys like that the most. If we were in the Chaotic Origin Space, I would crush him on the spot!" Shui Luo said angrily upon hearing this.

Long ago, when Shui Luo was only a mid-stage God Emperor, he was tricked by an early-stage God Emperor who was skilled in array formations. He was trapped by an array for a full eight thousand epochs before he was able to escape. By the time he escaped, the treasures he had fought over had already been taken away, and the four characters 'brainless brute' were even inscribed in the void with array patterns!
This was considered a lifelong disgrace by Shui Luo.

The butterfly-winged woman was much calmer: "Half-step God Emperor realm is nothing outside, but in this Origin World, it is probably close to invincible."

"Then what more can we say? Mo Yan, use your Ash Analysis Scroll to speed things up!" Shui Luo urged.

Mo Yan shook his head helplessly: "Hui Xijian is in that incarnation, I didn't bring anything with me in this body."

"We had no choice but to fly there obediently."

"Ugh, really!" Shui Luo's face darkened.

……

Bai Yu's speed has already surpassed the limits of comprehension for most living beings in this world.

The chaotic demonic body, like a burning black comet, tore through layers of viscous and violent demonic energy, ignoring the dangerous spatial folds and remaining array traps along the way, and rushed straight towards the deepest part of the Ten Thousand Demon Continent—the Ancient Well of Demonic Origin.

The pure demonic energy deep within his heart was now throbbing wildly like a living thing, radiating an unprecedented heat and desire, and even carrying a trace of... primal fear?

It was as if it was urging him to hurry up!
Faster!
Something is being touched, awakened, or... plundered!

"It's right ahead!" Bai Yu's enormous wolf eyes were fixed on the area below, churning with the deepest darkness. He could sense that it was the source of all the changes, the core of the demonic energy, and also... the true secret behind his physical transformation.

Behind them, although the pursuit of the three extraterrestrial avatars had been temporarily outpaced, they remained relentless like leeches, and seemed to have reached some kind of agreement, with signs of a combined increase in speed.

But Bai Yu couldn't care less about any of that.

boom! ! !
He finally broke through the last layer of viscous, almost tangible demonic energy barrier, and the scene before him suddenly changed.

Across the vast, shattered land shrouded in dark red light, his gaze was immediately drawn to the hundred-foot-tall mountain of flesh at its center, a bizarre mass of twisted bones, broken carapaces, and flowing, viscous, dark golden liquid. With just one glance, Bai Yu felt the demonic energy deep within his heart nearly boil over; every cell in his body rejoiced, trembled, and yearned.

"A fragment of the heart of the Hunyuan Life Form?!"

A realization flashed through Bai Yu's mind like lightning.

His physical body was nourished and transformed by the purest trace of primordial demonic energy emanating from this fragment, which is why he has his current strength!

This is... an aura from the same source!

It is the mother's call to the child, and also the child's instinctive greed for the mother!

Meanwhile, in front of the mountain of flesh, the battle raged on.

A middle-aged man in black robes stood on a mysterious array diagram, controlling the "Myriad Transformations Locking Source Array" that covered the entire abyss. Countless chains of laws danced wildly like dragons and snakes, strangling and killing a gray-robed scholar in the center—the incarnation of the extraterrestrial god emperor Mo Yan.

Mo Yan, in his avatar, held a phantom book shimmering with gray light. As the pages turned, beams of gray light capable of dissecting all things shot out, clashing fiercely with the chains of the grand formation and annihilating each other. Although he was suppressed by the grand formation, his movements were slightly sluggish, and his robes were torn, but his eyes remained sharp and cold. From time to time, one or two strange treasures flew out from his sleeves, either for defense or counterattack, making him evenly matched with Xuanji Shangren.

Further away, the Blood God of Yin was pale and his breathing was unstable, clearly suffering from a serious injury. He was trying his best to control the Blood Sea Auxiliary Array, but he obviously couldn't get into the core of the battle.

There was also a strange figure that Bai Yu had never seen before. Its figure appeared and disappeared intermittently, and a series of condensed and deadly dark gold rays shot towards the scholar from various tricky angles. Although most of them were blocked by his defensive treasures, they successfully disrupted his spellcasting rhythm.

The battle situation is in a delicate balance.

But Bai Yu's arrival instantly shattered this balance.

"Bai Yu!" The Blood-Burning Yin God was the first to notice, and he was quite alarmed. Obviously, he had received Bai Yu's telepathic message earlier, but he hadn't replied... The reason for not replying is self-evident.

Master Xuanji's eyes flickered slightly, but the formation remained completely intact, still firmly locking onto Mo Yan.

When Mo Yan's avatar saw Bai Yu's enormous chaotic demonic body, his eyes flashed with a sharp light, and he was not surprised but delighted.

"It's here as expected! The key... no, the container has delivered itself to our door!" Mo Yanhua laughed, his book suddenly turning to a new page. He no longer fought against the great formation with all his might, but instead sent out a gray torrent, like tentacles, straight towards Bai Yu.

At the same time, he uttered obscure and ancient syllables, as if chanting or awakening something!
Om-! ! !
The hundred-foot-tall mountain of flesh seemed to tremble violently, as if stimulated by both Mo Yan's incantation and the shared aura emanating from Bai Yu.

The dark golden, viscous liquid surged like boiling water, and the bones and shells emitted a teeth-grinding grinding sound.

In the center of the mountain of flesh, an irregular crystal, about the size of a fist, dark gold in color, with natural chaotic patterns covering its surface, and pulsating slowly like a living thing, slowly emerged from the flesh.

The moment the crystal appeared, a pure, ancient, and vast pressure, a thousand times stronger than before, erupted.

The entire abyss was rumbling.

The space was like glass, with countless cracks appearing.

The light of Master Xuanji's grand array flickered violently, emitting a hum that seemed unable to bear the pressure. The Blood Burning Yin God was directly shaken by this pressure, causing him to spit out a mouthful of blood and retreat repeatedly.

Even the gray torrent that Mo Yan transformed into was momentarily halted.

And white jade...

He felt like his heart was about to explode!
This isn't a metaphor; it's really going to explode!

The demonic energy deep within his heart, like a young beast that has found its home, pounded wildly against his heart, trying to break free and merge with the dark gold crystal.

At the same time, the immense attraction and bloodline resonance emanating from the dark gold crystal caused Bai Yu's blood to almost flow backward, with every cell screaming with desire, submission, and fusion.

"Roar--!!!"

Bai Yu let out a roar of pain and rage, and countless devouring vortexes on his chaotic demonic body spun wildly to their limit, trying to suppress the turmoil within his body and resist the terrifying pressure from the outside world.

His eyes were fixed on the dark gold crystal—the core fragment of the Hunyuan Life Heart.

This is the source of everything!

It is the source of his power, and also the thing that will kill him at this moment!

Seeing this, Mo Yan's avatar became even more greedy: "Such a strong resonance, it really is a perfect filter container!" With that thought, he stepped out of the void and pretended to grab at the heart fragment of the Chaos Origin Life.

"Don't even think about it!" Master Xuanji shouted, and the formation changed again. Countless chains turned around and crashed hard into Mo Yan's gray torrent.

At the same time, he transmitted his voice to Bai Yu: "Friend! Let's work together and not let those from outside the realm take away the treasures that belong to our world!"

Bai Yu heard this and tried his best to maintain a sliver of clarity in his mind.

In this situation, Bai Yu was shocked to find that his mental will at the second level of the God King realm was completely insufficient, and he relied entirely on the Golden Finger panel to maintain a trace of clarity in his true spirit.

Devour...or be devoured?

To merge... or to be merged?

As he gazed at the dark gold heart fragment, radiating both endless allure and an aura of death, and felt the demonic energy within his body surging as if it were about to burst forth, a mad idea sprouted wildly in his mind like weeds.

Do you want it?

The enormous white jade wolf head slowly turned towards Mo Yan, then looked at Master Xuanji, before finally returning to the dark gold crystal, its lips twisting into an extremely ferocious grin. (End of Chapter)
