Wu Hua Secret Realm, Bingyu Star Belt.
A majestic palace, faintly shrouded in flames, appeared out of nowhere. At the moment this palace emerged, it seemed to become the core of the entire Bingyu Star Belt. An incredibly powerful and domineering pressure spread throughout the belt, causing the Doukou who were frolicking on Bingyu Star and within the Star Belt River to tremble in fear.
“Heavenly Wolf Sovereign, why must you oppress these little ones?” Two streaks of light—one purple, one cyan—raced across the sky and arrived before the floating palace.
“When I descend, they should naturally bow in reverence.” A thunderous voice boomed from within the palace. A figure wreathed in flames slowly stepped out.
It was as if he were the embodiment of cosmic laws.
Flames surrounded every strand of his fur. A massive Heavenly Wolf, black as ink, slowly moved its four legs. The surrounding space and time completely bowed under his oppression. At this moment, the master of this space within the Bingyu Star Belt was none other than him! Even the Cyan Doukou Venerable and Purple Doukou Venerable had to show respect.
He was one of the greatest existences of the Ya Zu royal family—the Heavenly Wolf Clan—The Heavenly Wolf Sovereign!
“One of our clan has been imprisoned in your ice prison,” the Heavenly Wolf Sovereign’s voice rumbled, causing the space around to tremble. “Release him.”
The Cyan Doukou Venerable and Purple Doukou Venerable exchanged glances. The Ya Zu was so vast in numbers, yet imprisoning just one of their immortals had drawn the personal appearance of the Heavenly Wolf Sovereign.
“Heavenly Wolf Sovereign, please wait a moment!” the Cyan Doukou Venerable said, then gestured with his hand. A cylindrical ice pillar appeared in his palm. Since he had sensed the Heavenly Wolf Sovereign’s descent, he naturally brought along his precious treasure when coming to meet him. The Ice Prison was a rare and valuable treasure specializing in suppression and sealing, perfectly suited to the Cyan Doukou Venerable’s innate talent. In his hands, its power was indeed immense.
“Out!”
The Cyan Doukou Venerable’s consciousness entered the Ice Prison and locked onto the Heavenly Wolf. With ease, he expelled the Heavenly Wolf from the prison.
The snow-white Heavenly Wolf tumbled through space before steadying himself. Upon seeing the surroundings, his emerald eyes filled with ecstatic joy. When he saw the distant purple figure, the cyan figure, the palace bathed in flames, and the towering black Heavenly Wolf emanating boundless pressure, he recalled the legends of the Heavenly Wolf Clan, and disbelief filled his face.
“Leader!” Tianlang Si Buwa knelt down, overwhelmed with excitement.
The legendary Heavenly Wolf Clan leader! The eternal leader!
“Zi Doukou, how strong is this clansman of mine?” The black Heavenly Wolf wreathed in flames gazed at the Purple Doukou Venerable.
Although the Purple Doukou Venerable had some past grievances with the Heavenly Wolf Sovereign, he could only suppress his emotions. The figure before him was no ordinary Cosmic Sovereign lacking formidable treasures: “Heavenly Wolf Sovereign, this young man is indeed extraordinary. He ranks among the top five within the Ice Prison. With a few suitable treasures, he could contend with other invincible King-level immortals.”
“You knew he was from the Heavenly Wolf Clan, yet you still imprisoned him?” The Heavenly Wolf Sovereign’s voice thundered.
“It was my Ice Prison that imprisoned him.” The Cyan Doukou Venerable’s face darkened with anger.
The Heavenly Wolf Sovereign turned his gaze to the Cyan Doukou Venerable—
Boom!
An invisible shockwave swept over the Cyan Doukou Venerable, sending him hurtling backward like a meteor. His divine body shattered nearly in half before reforming.
“Who gave you permission to speak?” The Heavenly Wolf Sovereign’s voice carried a hint of anger, his eyes flashing with coldness that made the Purple Doukou Venerable’s heart race.
“Heavenly Wolf Sovereign!” the Purple Doukou Venerable cried.
“Rest assured, because of you, I won’t truly harm him.” The Heavenly Wolf Sovereign’s anger eased. “It was just a minor punishment.”
The Cyan Doukou Venerable flew back to stand beside the Purple Doukou Venerable, clearly furious but forced to restrain himself. The Purple Doukou Venerable, however, smiled: “Heavenly Wolf Sovereign, we have already released your clansman. The matter is resolved. If the Heavenly Wolf Sovereign wishes to reminisce, we can discuss it on Bingyu Star. I can also invite a few friends to accompany you.”
“No need.”
The Heavenly Wolf Sovereign glanced at the Purple Doukou Venerable, then looked down at the nearby Si Buwa.
Si Buwa knelt respectfully and transmitted his voice: “Leader, there is a human in the Ice Prison who possesses the Beishen Inheritance Token.” He dared not admit that he had given the token to the human, fearing the wrath of this supreme being whom he had only heard of but never seen.
“The Beishen Inheritance Token?” The Heavenly Wolf Sovereign immediately turned to the Purple Doukou Venerable.
“You still imprison a human in your Ice Prison. Release him as well. I will take him.” The Heavenly Wolf Sovereign declared. Acquiring a Beishen Inheritance Token with just one word was a tremendous gain, as such tokens were classified resources for any race, extremely rare.
“A human?”
The Purple Doukou Venerable and Cyan Doukou Venerable exchanged glances. Trouble was brewing!
“There is no human.” The Purple Doukou Venerable shook his head.
“You dare say there isn’t!” The Heavenly Wolf Sovereign’s voice suddenly exploded, causing the surrounding space-time to tremble. The space itself rippled like seawater. “You forgot that my clansman just came out and naturally knows there is a human inside.”
“There isn’t.” The Purple Doukou Venerable shook his head again.
The Purple Doukou Venerable and Cyan Doukou Venerable dared not casually hand over the human. They had already reconnected with ‘Sitting Mountain Guest’ and confirmed… that human was the one Sitting Mountain Guest wished to train and cultivate. Who was Sitting Mountain Guest? How could the Heavenly Wolf Sovereign compare?
Angering the Heavenly Wolf Sovereign, they still had a way to live!
Provoking the Sitting Mountain Guest, not even the Ancestral God Sect could save them!
“There is no human.” The Cyan Doukou Venerable also shook his head. “Perhaps that little one remembered wrong. There was a human before, but that human died long ago. There isn’t one now.”
…
The Heavenly Wolf Sovereign was surprised that the Purple Doukou Venerable and Cyan Doukou Venerable refused to release the human. Beside him, the Heavenly Wolf Si Buwa also looked at the leader, waiting for a signal. If the leader gave up, he would obediently say, “The human might have died. I haven’t seen him in an eon.” If the leader insisted on taking the human, he would say, “I just saw that human.”
“Fascinating, fascinating.” The Heavenly Wolf Sovereign’s voice rumbled.
“Who is this human? Seems he has quite a background.” The Heavenly Wolf Sovereign stood before the towering palace, gazing down at the two venerables. “Could it be a super existence from the human race has made a pact with you, so you dare defy me? Haha… I naturally must ruin the good fortune of the human race!”
“Hand over the human!” The Heavenly Wolf Sovereign’s eyes flashed with menace. “Otherwise, I will take him by force!”
“Leader, they are lying. I just saw that human before I came out.” Si Buwa shouted.
“Did you hear that?”
The Heavenly Wolf Sovereign looked down at the two venerables.
“Heavenly Wolf Sovereign!” The Purple Doukou Venerable roared in anger. “Would you go to war with us over a human?”
“I advise you to abandon that human.” The Cyan Doukou Venerable also growled. “Heavenly Wolf Sovereign!”
They had already secretly notified Sitting Mountain Guest. His methods were unfathomable, so he would naturally receive the message quickly. However, Sitting Mountain Guest’s response was peculiar—”Release that young human. Do as you must. As for the rest, you need not interfere, and do not expose my relationship with this human.”
“Hand over the human.”
The Heavenly Wolf Sovereign’s voice thundered. “No matter how great his background, even if he is a disciple valued by the Founding Master Axe, as long as he is of the human race, our Ya Zu naturally fear nothing.”
The Purple Doukou Venerable and Cyan Doukou Venerable exchanged glances. Although they were puzzled why Sitting Mountain Guest told them not to intervene and even forbade exposing his relationship with the human, they only needed to mention ‘Sitting Mountain Guest’s’ name, and this Heavenly Wolf Sovereign would surely flee in disgrace, not daring to linger.
“If Sitting Mountain Guest said so, why should we resist?” The two venerables exchanged a glance.
“Fine.” The Purple Doukou Venerable nodded. “We will release him.”
…
Deep within the snows of the Eastern Ice Prison.
Luo Feng sat quietly in the hall, waiting patiently. He estimated that within one or two days, the Chaos City Lord should come to retrieve him.
“Boom!” Suddenly, the prison’s suppressing force instantly crushed him. At the same time, a spatial crack appeared before him, and he was expelled without resistance.
The scenery shifted.
Luo Feng’s divine body tumbled, then spread his wings, hovering in space.
“It should be the teacher.” Luo Feng guessed inwardly. He looked around and was stunned.
In the distance stood the Azure Doukou Venerable and the Purple Doukou Venerable. In another direction, a towering palace wreathed in flames hovered in the air. The invisible pressure it exuded was terrifyingly immense, far surpassing anything Luo Feng had witnessed at Tianchi Palace. Meanwhile, the black Heavenly Wolf, seemingly the master of the surrounding space-time, sent shivers down Luo Feng’s spine. Beside the black Heavenly Wolf knelt a snow-white Heavenly Wolf, its posture one of reverence.
“It’s the Heavenly Wolf.” Luo Feng realized.
“Human.” Tianlang Si Buwa looked down at Luo Feng, filled with smugness. “See how smug you are. The Beishen Inheritance Token is only temporarily in your possession. Once the leader arrives… not only will the Beishen Inheritance Token return to me, but your life will also be forfeit.”
The Heavenly Wolf Sovereign looked down at Luo Feng.
“Your origins seem not ordinary.” The Heavenly Wolf Sovereign’s voice thundered. “Pity, you must die, and the human race will never revive you.”
Luo Feng’s expression slightly changed.
Where is the teacher?
Why hasn’t he arrived yet? He should have come by now.
“Die!” The Heavenly Wolf Sovereign’s cold, disdainful voice had just risen.
“Clang!” “Dong!” “Hoo!” “Zha!”…
Suddenly, a multitude of sounds rang out. Though seemingly faint, they resonated powerfully in the minds of all the formidable beings present. Whether it was Doukou from the Ice Jade Star and the Star Belt River, who were suppressed by the overwhelming pressure, or Luo Feng, Tianlang Si Buwa, the two Cosmic Venerables, and even the Heavenly Wolf Sovereign himself—all heard these sounds clearly.
Across the vast Bingyu Star Belt.
A mighty, indistinct river of stars appeared out of nowhere. The river spanned the entire Bingyu Star Belt, several light-years wide, its length seemingly endless, as if reaching the edge of the cosmos.
Countless bizarre artifacts drifted along the hazy river, each emanating a terrifying oppressive aura.
“The Thousand Treasure River!” the Purple Doukou Venerable exclaimed in alarm.
“It is the Thousand Treasure River.” The Cyan Doukou Venerable’s eyes gleamed with schadenfreude as he looked toward the Heavenly Wolf Sovereign.
The Heavenly Wolf Sovereign’s eyes flashed with shock and anger. Standing on the Tianlang Palace with all four hooves, he roared: “Chaos City Lord, since you have come, why not reveal yourself!” His body’s flames surged, pressing outward into space. Yet the starry river suddenly unleashed a colossal oppressive force, extinguishing all the flames.
The Tianlang Palace, like a small boat in a vast river, began to sway violently, as if it might capsize at any moment.
