Moon Wolf Mountain.
The two giant wolves remained silent as they looked at the wolf king, whose consciousness had been severely damaged and who had been forced into a deep sleep.
After a long silence, the large, dark, and round wolf, a hint of a smile appearing at the corner of its eyes, opened its mouth and sighed, "What... what should we do?"
The slender, moon-white giant wolf naturally noticed the smiles in his companion's eyes. He rolled his eyes and said, "You're celebrating a little too soon. The Wolf King's consciousness has been severely damaged, and he has fallen into a deep sleep. The overall interests of our Moon Wolf Mountain will be harmed, as we have lost the protection of most of the totem's power."
In the realm of mountains and seas, a clan cannot develop without the protection of totem power.
The outside world, without any protection, is fraught with danger. Even immortal beings could perish in unknown perils if they are not careful, let alone ordinary mortals who are like dust.
However, mortal beings are the absolute foundation of a race or power, and immortal beings are all born from them.
Only when there are enough living beings in the mortal world can an entire clan or power have a future.
The giant, dark, and round wolf, its eyes darting around, said, "Then we should conserve our power, just like we did hundreds of thousands of years ago when we clashed with the previous Qingqiu totem. We should use the incense energy to nourish the Wolf King and help him recover. That should wake him up as soon as possible... Moon Wolf Mountain really can't be without the Wolf King."
The appearance of a totem god is always accompanied by the authority of heaven and earth. The acquisition of this authority is achieved through a series of coincidences, in which the god contributes to heaven and earth and promotes the evolution of the laws of heaven and earth. This process is almost impossible to replicate.
Just like Xiong Zhou, who defined the concept of abundance in practice and promoted the formation of the laws of abundance in the Mountain and Sea Realm, thus obtaining the authority of abundance in the Mountain and Sea Realm.
It is true that the authority of heaven and earth can be inherited, but for an ordinary being to become a totem god who holds authority, it also requires the recognition of heaven and earth and the recognition of the corresponding laws of heaven and earth.
The conditions for inheriting different powers of heaven and earth are incredibly varied, some even extremely demanding.
Despite the Moon Wolf Mountain's all-out efforts in nurturing them, no being has yet emerged who is qualified to inherit the Moon Reflection Authority.
Therefore, even with the blessing from the divine realm and the continuous production of special resources, Wolf King's position remains unshakable even in his slumber.
The dark, round giant wolf grinned: "Besides, the Wolf King isn't just in a deep sleep; his blood and energy foundation haven't been damaged. The blood food supplied to the Wolf King during this time is just sitting there, it'll spoil and lose its effectiveness anyway, so why not... hehehe..."
""
The slender, moon-white giant wolf shook its head. "Wolf Night, you've really gone too far. I will allocate the resources of Moon Wolf Mountain before Wolf King wakes up."
The dark-skinned, round-faced Wolf Night looked slightly embarrassed, licked his nose, and changed the subject, looking at the battlefield. "Wolf Moon, this thing looks like it's going to cause a huge upheaval. What are your plans for dealing with that battlefield and Zhu Yan?"
Wolf Moon shook his head and said decisively, "Call back the wolves and seal the mountain. With Yingyue's authority in the Divine Realm, we will not have any problems unless someone like the Phoenix personally attacks. Zhu Yan has only undergone four transformations; he cannot become that strong all at once."
Wolf Moon lifted Wolf King's heavy body and dragged him step by step into a quiet valley deep in the sacred mountain, bathed in moonlight. The heavy incense smoke attracted Wolf King, allowing him to rely on his body's instincts to breathe.
"My luck lately is a bit off..."
"7
Wolf Moon looked at the battlefield and remembered the big dog with black and white stripes and brown and yellow markings.
"The Zhu Yan has already shown signs of change, and we wonder if this unknown being will also show signs of change."
"Closing the mountain early might be a good thing."
On a battlefield filled with ominousness and calamity.
Zhu Yan's condition returned to its peak. He glanced at the beasts outside the battlefield who had become fearful of him and were starting to stir, but paid them no further attention.
He chuckled in a low voice, "I still need to deal with those five ferocious beasts that are besieging me and devour their power. I don't have time to harvest your prey for now."
Zhu Yan's thoughts were drawn to the battlefield; he wanted to send the one of the five ferocious beasts with three snake heads back to him so that he could fight it.
However, after a few breaths, the battlefield remained completely silent, showing no reaction whatsoever.
Outside the battlefield, the beasts began to roar again, one after another, the beasts that had been intimidated were now baring their fangs and claws, ready to pounce.
"Zhu Yan tried to move a certain ferocious beast back, but failed."
"He hasn't fully mastered this battlefield yet, so it seems we still have a chance."
"Or perhaps we could all swarm him, with dozens of beings who have undergone a transformation in the Immortal Realm attacking with all their might, and intercept and kill him first..."
""
'
""
As Zhu Yan listened to these idle chatter, a nameless feeling suddenly rose in his heart, and his eyes turned bloodshot.
"If this one won't work, then we'll try the other one."
He began to repeatedly activate the battlefield, trying to repatriate the six-armed, compound-eyed chimpanzee, but he failed, as if the ferocious beast never existed.
Zhu Yan's hair stood on end. In a fit of rage, he tried to send back all five ferocious beasts he had moved, but failed to do so.
Zhu Yan's face turned ruddy, even tinged with a bluish hue, and he roared loudly.
"impossible!"
"How could there not be?!"
"I still have control over this treasure, so why is this happening?"
"Move everything still on the battlefield in front of me! Some damned creature must be up to something!"
The battlefield trembled, rippling like water. Then, one void rift after another tore open on the battlefield, accompanied by a series of crisp sounds, almost like shattering glass.
Faced with this unexpected turn of events, Zhu Yan disregarded everything, even if it meant damaging the battlefield and leaving it in ruins, in order to find the source of the disaster.
Strands of the Five Elements Daoist essence, tinged with gray light, flowed out from the void rifts, like bleeding wounds, exceptionally terrifying and ferocious, causing the beasts outside the battlefield to sigh in regret.
"What a waste of good stuff!"
"You might as well give this opportunity to me, Zhu Yan; you are not destined for it!"
"With all its essence drained out, this battlefield is bound to be severely damaged. It will take a long time to recover to its peak."
The beasts, whose life force was close to the fourth level of Qi Refining, stared at the flowing source of energy with their eyes almost popping out of their sockets, wishing they could directly replace Zhu Yan and take control of this supreme treasure.
Not only were the beasts that had undergone four transformations roaring, but even the beasts that had undergone three transformations and were lingering nearby were beginning to stir. Furthermore, several of the weakest immortal beings, unable to suppress their greed, stealthily approached the battlefield, ready to strike, only to be slapped to pieces by Zhu Yan.
However, a few cunning beasts slowly retreated from the surging herd, silently distancing themselves from this battlefield shrouded in ominousness and calamity.
The four-tailed crocodile muttered, "We've retreated far enough, haven't we? Even if something bigger happens later, it shouldn't affect us immediately."
On the four-tailed crocodile, falcons embroidered with black, white, and dark blood spread their feathers, and a layer of dark radiance fell from them, like a curtain, obscuring their figures and silently concealing their presence, allowing them to retreat smoothly to the outermost edge of the beast herd.
Falcon scratched at the four-tailed crocodile's jagged scales with his talons, his expression growing increasingly grave: "No, we need to retreat even further, preferably to a point thousands of miles away."
The four-tailed crocodile did as instructed and continued to retreat, still puzzled: "Why retreat so far? If we start fighting for the treasure later, won't we lose the initiative?"
The falcon's face darkened, and it lashed its wings out at the heads of the four crocodiles, sending sparks flying: "Idiots, have you forgotten that canine creature that passed through the Wolf King's moonlit canopy and entered the secret realm directly?!"
"Those who entered the secret realm may not know, but how could we, who stayed outside, not know?"
"Now that Zhu Yan has lost control of the battlefield, it's most likely that it was caused by that canine creature. I wonder who it is."
The shimmering light flowing down the falcon's wings became even dimmer, like a dark night, making their presence even harder to detect.
"Neither the Zhu Yan, which has been strengthened several times, nor the canine creature that can traverse and reassemble the moon, are easy to deal with. If the two of us were to face either of them, we would most likely be defeated. If we don't hide far away now, we'll be in trouble when they start fighting each other."
"Furthermore, the reaction of Moon Wolf Mountain is also very abnormal. Many of their wolves have died in the secret realm, yet they are not making a sound, and the domineering wolf king is nowhere to be found."
"Look over there, some clever folks have already quietly moved out."
Following the falcon's raised wings, the four-tailed crocodile saw a black deer wrapped in vines, and then a large porpoise emerging from the ground...
More than a dozen beasts that had never entered the secret realm but had undergone a transformation once in the realm of immortality had retreated to the rear of the herd, protecting them in front of them.
"hiss!"
The four-tailed crocodile gasped.
The void rifts that tore open on the battlefield grew larger and denser, forming a bizarre net that flowed with an eerie gray light.
Suddenly, the net trembled violently, and a world shrouded in gray mist was flipped over, inverted and overlapping with the battlefield suspended in mid-air.
"boom!"
Within a radius of ten miles, the laws of heaven and earth were shaking, as if the sky were collapsing.
An unparalleled force poured directly onto the vast herd of beasts. Amidst a chorus of agonizing roars, flesh and blood turned to ash, bones littered the ground, and death raged everywhere. In the blink of an eye, only those beings with extremely tenacious vitality, whose essence was similar to the fourth level of Qi Refining, remained alive.
This battlefield, filled with ominousness and calamity, saw its energy reach its peak in an instant, then plummet to a trough, and the Five Elements principles that were operating on the surface seemed to stagnate.
The sound of shattering glass rang out again. In mid-air above the battlefield, a large dog, about two meters tall at the shoulder, with horns, covered in snow-white and dark fur with brown spots at the junction, appeared in the eyes of the surviving creatures.
Xiong Zhou looked at the suddenly changed environment with astonishment in his eyes, sensing the heavy deathly aura that permeated all around him, and was stunned for a while.
I was trying to comprehend the Dao patterns, and I was doing so well, so how did I suddenly end up here?
"It's you!"
"It's you, a mere ant, who's behind this!"
"How dare you! How dare you cause trouble right under the noses of these ageless beings?!"
Zhu Yan, who had battlefield control authority, was unharmed. He looked at the giant dog in mid-air and roared angrily. The continuous losses and the rage that soared to the heavens had made him jump up and down.
The next instant, he stretched out his blood-red palm, filled with resentment, and reached out to grab Xiong Zhou.
"I will skin you alive, let you watch your own flesh being torn apart, let you watch your own body being devoured bit by bit!"
"Then, die in despair!"
Xiong Zhou looked at the monkey that suddenly lunged at him, seemingly in a frenzy, and a feeling of disgust rose from the bottom of his heart.
What he hates most are these crazy people who don't distinguish right from wrong, act unreasonably, and want to beat or kill.
The abundant energy of the inner world surged forth, manifesting pixel blocks one by one. The power of [Authority: Abundance] was added to them. On the earth, every 100,000 strands of heaven and earth were governed by a strand of abundance, forming a pixel plain that appeared behind Xiong Zhou.
With a flick of its claws, the entire landscape changed color, and countless energies of heaven and earth, associated with abundance, surged back, unleashing a mighty torrent that roared down from the top of the sky.
Looking into the distance, it was already a vast expanse of desolation, almost as if the sky were collapsing.
The four-tailed crocodile gaped, its expression blank. "This...this can't possibly be a mortal being?!"
"Is this all the ageless beings on the verge of their fifth metamorphosis are capable of?!"
"Moreover, this kind of understanding of the laws of heaven and earth, this kind of comprehension of the way of heaven and earth, I cannot see it clearly; it is too lofty, as if it were as high as the heavens!"
Falcon also looked dazed, muttering to himself, "No, this is probably all the totem god who is about to undergo his fifth transformation will amount to."
"Back then, before the wolf king underwent its fifth metamorphosis, its imposing presence was probably inferior to that of this canine... mortal being."
.
Falcon spoke with great hesitation; he simply couldn't imagine that those mortal beings, as insignificant as dust, could be so powerful.
In truth, he was no longer certain whether this canine creature was still in the mortal realm.
What mortal being could possess such profound understanding of the laws of heaven and earth, such comprehension of the ways of heaven and earth, that even immortal beings find it lofty, unfathomable, and unattainable?
Not far away, a large pig, gnawing on a radish, was also stunned.
The radish roots, which emit a faint fragrance and have the effect of nourishing blood and qi, fell to the ground and burrowed into the soil without anyone noticing.
The giant pig was lost in thought, muttering to itself, "My God, this feeling of being as high as the sky... it feels so familiar..."
'
The vines writhed, and the black deer emerged, speaking softly, "Of course you're familiar with it. Three hundred thousand years ago, the Phoenix Emperor roamed the Southern Mountain Range alone, using the power of his sixth metamorphosis to mediate a war among tens of thousands of totems. The aura he carried was as high as the heavens..."
""
Beneath this vast expanse of white, Zhu Yan was utterly powerless to resist; his pupils dilated instantly, filled with profound despair.
Under the suppression of this high heaven, he could clearly see streaks of blood light gushing out from all parts of his body, shattering and turning into a pale red.
"Is this just my imagination?"
"How could such an incredible thing exist in this world?"
"A mere mortal's understanding of the universe surpasses that of an immortal being like myself?!"
Suddenly, a flash of inspiration struck Zhu Yan, causing him to show a hint of surprise, as if he had found a glimmer of hope in this desperate situation.
"Your understanding of the universe is so profound; you are definitely not a mortal being, nor even an ordinary immortal being!"
Zhu Yan roared loudly, his expression becoming increasingly crazed.
"The Sixth Transformation!"
"You are an immortal being who has undergone your sixth transformation, and you are currently in a special state, similar to that of a phoenix during its rebirth!"
"You are now a mortal being, but you possess the level of understanding that only comes after your sixth transformation. You cannot sustain this!"
"You'll be exhausted soon!"
A look of surprise flashed in Xiong Zhou's eyes.
What's going on with this Zhu Yan?
The reasoning process was completely wrong, but the result was correct.
At this moment, he is using the [Lv.6] level Abundance Law and the [Lv.6] Abundance Authority. The Abundance within his inner world cannot support him to exert this level of combat power for an extended period of time.
No matter what, he was just a minor Qi Refiner at the second level of Qi Refining.
Now that his secrets have been exposed, we must kill him quickly, lest the abundance be exhausted and we have to run away ourselves.
Xiong Zhou's eyes hardened, and he raised the dog's paw, pressing it down heavily from mid-air.
The pixelated plains that were constructed collided directly with the earth, crushing not only Zhu Yan's body but also blasting this battlefield, filled with ominousness and calamity, into the earth.
"boom!"
Terrifying tremors reverberated through the mountains and rivers, and terrifying cracks opened up in all directions, stretching for thousands of miles.
Layer upon layer of soil surged like ocean waves, burying the remains of those who perished in the torrents that had been unleashed after the battlefield's origins were exposed.
Within a radius of ten thousand miles, all the remaining beasts, whose life essence was close to the fourth level of Qi Refining, were wiped out in this aftershock.
For a moment, all things were silent. Looking down from the sky, the area within a radius of ten thousand miles centered on Xiongzhou looked as if it had been ruthlessly plowed by a huge pickaxe.
"Hmm?"
A look of surprise appeared in Xiong Zhou's eyes.
This feels a little off?
"Click...click..."
'
Strange sounds rose from beneath the pixelated plains, and wisps of gray mist spread from the void.
"Click...click..."
'
A strange, inexplicable sound, like the grating of bones, echoed through the pixelated plains this time.
"boom!"
Another thunderous roar resounded, stretching for thousands of miles.
With strands of heaven and earth, with strands of abundance, Xi Jinping materialized and constructed the pixelated plain, which suddenly collapsed.
"roar!"
Amidst the ruins, Zhu Yan, with a crazed expression and wounds teetering on the brink of life and death, roared loudly.
"You can't kill me!"
Zhu Yan stomped hard on the battlefield that exuded ominousness and calamity. One after another, the five elements spiritual energy, glowing with gray light, rose from the cracked bricks and stones, merging into the inner world of this ferocious beast.
The path belonging to Zhu Yan manifested, slowly blooming between heaven and earth, displaying its powerful strength, causing the Qi of heaven and earth within a radius of 100,000 miles to surge violently.
Similar to Xiong Zhou's path of refining the spirit, Zhu Yan's path was also surrounded by wisps of incense offerings, but they were extremely sparse and filled with violence, as if born from fear.
Deeper into this path, one after another, the spiritual elements of the Five Elements intertwine, creating a slight sense of separation from the Zhu Yan's laws of heaven and earth, making it seem like an unintegrated whole.
What made Xiong Zhou frown was the hidden calamity, as deep and boundless as an abyss.
In certain corners, he could clearly perceive an unusual, lingering shadow of calamity, making living beings extremely uncomfortable.
"This mottled path is similar in power to my current path to sainthood, but it is now useless."
"What appears to be dazzling and prosperous is actually an illusion created by sacrificing the future."
Xiong Zhou silently evaluated it in his mind.
"Don't even mention reaching the threshold of attaining immortality; even the threshold of the sixth level of cultivation might not be crossed."
"Even if in the future one elevates one's authority, possesses a divine realm, gains believers, and has a retinue, it will be difficult to carve patterns on this rotten wood even with the immense influence of incense offerings."
Xiong Zhou could see very clearly that although this path rose from Zhu Yan's inner world, its source was that battlefield filled with ominousness and calamity.
This path, shaped by external forces, cannot withstand the slightest test.
"I've become very strong..."
97
Strands of blood energy rose from Zhu Yan's body, transforming into a ferocious-looking divine ape with wisps of chaotic energy swirling around its body, roaring loudly at Xiong Zhou.
"Even if you possess such profound understanding of the universe, what good is it? You are still a mortal being, destined to die!"
Zhu Yan leaped into the air, raised its horribly distorted hand, and made a grasping motion toward Xiong Zhou.
At the same moment, the divine ape that Zhu Yan had conjured behind him also made the same move, grabbing directly at Xiong Zhou, stirring up strands of the laws of heaven and earth, trying to crush its opponent.
Seeing Zhu Yan's counterattack, Xiong Zhou's expression became subtle.
He murmured to himself, "I've thought about the cultivation methods in the Mountain and Sea Realm, and they might not be systematic yet, but I never imagined they would be this terrible."
"This kind of cultivation foundation is not even as good as Bai Yi's, and it is not even up to par with the earth spirit foundation built by the [Lv.3] level comprehension."
"When he reached the equivalent of the first level of Refinement, could it be that he advanced to the equivalent of the second level of Refinement with a foundation of approximately [Lv.2] Profound Spirit Foundation, or even approximately [Lv.1] Yellow Spirit Foundation?"
"With such a weak foundation, how could he still advance to a realm close to the fourth level of Qi Refining? Could it be that he is favored by heaven and earth?"
Despite his complex emotions, Xiong Zhou was able to react to Zhu Yan's attacks.
Xiong Zhou narrowed his eyes slightly, and two paths from his inner world were projected, supporting a Heavenly Status of the sixth level of Qi Refining, truly manifesting his cultivation foundation.
This is a pixelated plain composed of ten million blocks.
This is a spirit origin named "Cube," unique to Xiong Zhou, and recognized by both the "Qi Refining World" and the "Mountain and Sea Realm."
Ten million blocks transformed into ten million strands of abundance.
The power of [Lv.6]'s [Authority: Abundance] erupted, and ten million strands of abundance directly governed a hundred thousand times its own number of heaven and earth.
Within a radius of 100,000 li, the sky and earth were shrouded in darkness.
Here, there is a "sky," suspended high, about to crash down.
The greatest sound is silent; a vast and wondrous phenomenon soars into the sky.
Zhu Yan disappeared, leaving only a corner of the battlefield's ruins.
