Chapter 1310: The Forbidden Box Displays Its Might

And at the instant the soul giant opened its mouth, the wolf soul only felt that the world seemed utterly silent at that moment.

Only the already solidified soul sound‑wave shock, erupting from the giant's mouth, rushed straight toward it.

Awu!

In the next instant, the wolf soul let out a skyward howl, emitting concentric sound waves, trying to use its sharp wolf howl to fend off those soul shocks.

However, its sound waves only lasted for the brief instant of the shock's impact.

Immediately after, the soul shock bombarded it without any hindrance.

Bang!

The bodiless wolf soul, struck by the Heavenly Tier advanced sound‑wave combat technique released by Lin Feng's imperial‑realm wolf soul, was instantly blasted away.

At the instant the opponent was blasted away, Lin Feng's mind shifted, and his soul power instantly spanned ten thousand li, gathering all the surrounding world energy in a single rush.

The boundless world energy immediately howled nonstop behind him.

The enormity of the energy seemed to connect heaven and earth.

Looking far ahead, it resembled an endless tide of energy, the roar of waves crashing ceaselessly.

Such an energy tide, under normal logic, only forms during celestial anomalies, making it a sight seen only once in several hundred years.

That grand scene is beyond human capability; only those who have reached the Nine-Star Dou Saint level can barely achieve it.

And to wield it proficiently requires reaching the later stages of Nine-Star.

But now, this kind of energy tide…

Under the boost of an imperial‑realm soul, a mere thought from Lin Feng, who is at the Eight-Star Peak Dou Saint level, caused it to coalesce.

I devour!

At the instant the energy tide formed, the lively little spirit sprang from behind it, its body swelling before exploding into black flames that filled the sky.

It instantly devoured the energy tide that spanned tens of thousands of zhang.

"It's the fire spirit from before; I didn't expect she also reached Eight-Star Dou Saint, and even gained this somewhat strange devouring power,"

Seeing the little spirit appear, the wolf soul recalled and recognized its identity.

After all, that fire spirit had appeared during the last fight with that kid named Xiao Yan.

As for the little spirit, after devouring the energy tide, it instantly reverted to a maiden's form.

At the same time, her delicate white hands fluttered rapidly; under the vast internal energy and the dual boost of her master's imperial‑realm soul, brilliant Imperial Lotus blossoms swiftly coalesced.

Now, with the little spirit cooperating with Lin Feng to wield these Imperial Lotuses, as long as their Dou Qi and soul power are sufficient, it becomes a matter of a single thought.

Because the little spirit can release the full power of the anomalous fire, and together with Lin Feng's soul that has reached the imperial realm, the speed bonus for Imperial Lotus coalescence is enormous!

Hoo hoo.

As soon as the Imperial Lotuses formed, they whirled under the little spirit's control, howling toward the wolf soul.

Simultaneously, wave after wave of destructive scorching surges burst rapidly from those colorful Imperial Lotuses, making hearts race.

"Damn it, I should've never barged in!"

Staring at the strange fire Lotuses ahead, capable of grievously wounding or even killing an Eight-Star Peak Dou Saint, his peripheral vision caught Han Yu and his party standing outside the city, watching the spectacle.

The wolf soul was filled with regret!

How could I not control these legs, wanting to come in and avenge my previous shame!

Now it's too late, and I have no idea how much vital energy I'll waste!

But it's not surprising, since Lin Feng's Dou Qi strength is only at the Eight-Star Peak Dou Saint level.

However, due to the boost from the imperial‑realm soul and the little spirit's anomalous fire, the Burning World Imperial Lotus they forge together can, in minutes, make even Dou Saints of their own rank question their existence.

Even if the opponent weren't fast, Lin Feng wouldn't dare coalesce slowly; the Imperial Lotuses they seriously form could probably blast the wolf soul into a profanity‑filled rant.

During the last siege on the Golden Core, the little spirit had to maintain spatial and sealing stability, and Lin Feng couldn't replenish Dou Qi from the world, limiting the girl's Dou Qi usage and preventing her from intervening too much.

Otherwise, just tossing Imperial Lotuses could instantly annoy that Golden Core to death.

"Kid, you've angered me!"

Seeing this, the wolf soul felt a pang of regret, then roared loudly.

The moment the words fell, the vast strange energy erupted violently from its body.

Where that energy passed, the Imperial Lotuses the little spirit threw were instantly obliterated, turning into void.

"My god, master, that one's aura is so powerful, far stronger than the previous one!"

Sensing the terrifying aura radiating from the wolf soul, the little spirit's heart skipped a beat, then hurried to hide behind Lin Feng.

"Vital energy."

When Lin Feng sensed that familiar energy, his brows twitched slightly, and he thought inwardly, "No wonder this guy can restore his strength to the Nine-Star Dou Saint level so quickly. It's because he devoured so much vital energy. But where did this wolf soul get so much vital energy?"

Sensing the strange energy spreading through the air, the former felt a sudden heaviness in his heart.

This energy is evidently a tier above Dou Qi.

As a Dou Qi cultivator, I am naturally weaker when facing a vital‑energy cultivator.

Moreover, the wolf soul's current aura is far stronger than the former Wu Nie Tun Yan.

If judged by combat power, its strength now is probably close to the later stages of Nine-Star Dou Saint.

"These things from a higher realm are indeed troublesome to deal with,"

Looking at the frenzied wolf soul, Lin Feng felt a tinge of sorrow rise within him.

This thing really is hard to beat!

"Kid, today I'll see how you can fight me."

Empowered by vital energy, the wolf soul regained confidence, instantly lifting its head and chest toward Lin Feng, a cruel smile curling at its mouth.

"Activate the Grand Array Crush."

However, faced with the former's provocation, Lin Feng chose to evade, ordering the Jia Clan Elder at the console.

Yes.

When the command was given up front, the Elder immediately nodded in response.

At the same time, a thought flickered in his mind, and he instantly began turning the control panel before him.

Alas, alas, alas!

Seeing the other's evasive move, the Wolf Soul flared up and shouted, "You little bastard, weren't you supposed to duel one‑on‑one? Why are you using a big formation now?!"

Hearing that, Lin Feng merely smiled calmly, spread his hands and said, "If you refuse my suggestion, there's nothing I can do."

While speaking, he transmitted his voice again, urging the Elder to speed up.

Upon receiving the order, the Elder immediately increased the Qi infusion, manipulated the formation, and slammed it toward the Wolf Soul.

Damn it!

Seeing this, the Wolf Soul instantly cursed.

Then he hurriedly shouted toward the outside, at Han Yu and the others, "Why are you just standing there? Attack the wall and draw that guy's formation away!"

But the people outside were cut off from the Elder's voice and couldn't hear what he was saying.

Yet by the other's anxious expression and lip movements, they roughly guessed what the Wolf Soul wanted to convey,

Hey!

Seeing a teammate in trouble, the moment later the outside group led by Han Yu rushed to unleash combat techniques against the golden wall before them.

Clang!

Clang!

Accompanied by the attacks of Han Yu, Qiu Yue and the others, the blows hammered the golden barrier; in an instant, a deafening explosion roared throughout the heavens and earth,

At the same time, the multicolored techniques struck the golden barrier almost simultaneously, causing ripple after ripple to spread.

Boom!

While those people attacked the wall, the formation unleashed a vast, ocean‑like pressure that suddenly crashed onto the Wolf Soul.

Damn you

The next moment, the Wolf Soul couldn't help but glare at Lin Feng and curse.

However, before the insult was finished, the formation on the Gate City hurled him toward the distant sky.

After soaring dozens of miles, he finally crashed with a roar onto a towering, tens‑of‑thousands‑zhang sheer mountain below.

When the Wolf Soul hit the ground, the terrifying force shattered the earth beneath the mountain's summit.

Immediately after, the Wolf Soul continued its descent with unabated force, further destroying the mountain below.

He kept falling until he reached several hundred zhang beneath the mountain's base, where he gouged a deep pit and finally halted.

The once‑tall peak had already turned into a spray of earth and rubble, scattering everywhere.

Finally, as the soil and stones fell, they formed a long mountain range on the distant ground.

Young master, the combat saints outside are attacking now; if I keep defending and counter‑attacking, it'll eventually cause problems!

After blasting the Wolf Soul away, the Elder who was controlling the Gate City saw the outsiders attacking the city and immediately looked at Lin Feng, saying,

Hearing that, Lin Feng frowned and gazed beyond the wall at the dozens of mad attackers—Han Yu and the others.

"You handle them and the Wolf Soul; I'll take care of it myself now."

After a moment's thought, Lin Feng immediately made his decision.

As soon as the words left his mouth, he patted Xiao Ling's head and said briskly, "Little girl, follow me up."

While speaking, he instantly flew out first.

"Ah, master, wait for me!"

Hearing that, Xiao Ling's helpless mouth pursed, and she hurried after her master.

Seeing this, the Elder immediately turned his gaze to the Shi Tai before him, then, following the Gate City attack method he had memorized, rotated the stone disc in front of him.

Buzz!

As the stone disc turned, the next moment the wall of the Gate City flared with sudden, intense light.

Immediately after, several golden array plates rose and floated above the Gate City wall.

"Attack."

When the light array erupted, the Elder's palm shot out, forcefully pressing the circular disc on the Shi Tai before him.

Whoosh!

Whoosh!

Whoosh!

The instant the former pressed the stone disc, the array plates on the Gate City wall instantly burst into dazzling light.

Then golden energy beams shot out from those plates, and in the blink of an eye they reached Han Yu, Qiu Yue and the others.

"Retreat!"

Seeing the beams rush to them in an instant, Han Yu, Qiu Yue and the others dared not delay and immediately ordered the other combat saints behind them to fall back.

At the same time, Han Yu and Qiu Yue instantly employed their combat techniques to block the beams.

The other combat saints each hurriedly retreated.

After all, they had experienced this kind of attack before.

Thus they knew that with their current strength they simply could not withstand the Pingnan Gate formation's assault.

While Han Yu's group was evading the Gate City's attack, Lin Feng on the other side arrived at the spot where the Wolf Soul had fallen.

Howl!

Immediately thereafter, a massive, several‑hundred‑zhang tall celestial phoenix illusion appeared behind him.

Boom!

When the Heavenly Phoenix Illusory Shadow first formed, it immediately turned into a blazingly fast Phoenix Shadow that swooped straight toward the wolf soul.

"Damn kid, another soul attack!"

The wolf soul saw the Phoenix Shadow charging straight at it, and its beastly combat instinct warned that being hit by that illusory shadow would surely cause serious injury.

Thinking this, it quickly flashed its form and fled toward the distant sky, needing to shake off the Heavenly Phoenix Illusory Shadow.

"Watch me explode! Boom! Boom!"

However, just as the former had left the big pit below, Xiao Ling appeared somewhere ahead of it and frantically hurled a massive number of Imperial Lotus.

Of course, it also knew that when the Imperial Lotus got close, the opponent would use that bizarre ability to extinguish them.

Therefore, while the Imperial Lotus was still several thousand zhang away from the opponent, it detonated them immediately.

Boom!

Boom!

Boom!

In the next instant, the countless Imperial Lotus exploded one after another, unleashing the ferocious destructive power hidden within them.

"You kids, never ending."

Seeing the rapidly expanding mass of fire clouds, the wolf soul instantly released a barrage of wind blades, hurling them toward the fire clouds.

However, this also slightly hampered its escape speed.

"Reincarnation Triple‑Ultimate·Reincarnation Devours Heaven and Earth!"

And at the moment the former dealt with Xiao Ling's attack, the Heaven‑and‑Earth energy behind it suddenly surged and gathered above Lin Feng's head.

Then, amid the swirling black energy, a towering energy disc hundreds of zhang tall quickly formed, emitting a fierce devouring force that consumed everything ahead.

At the same time, strands of black flame, source unknown, rose and burned atop the energy disc in the sky.

"Uhh"

Then, as those black flames ignited, the suction force emitted by the disc above Lin Feng abruptly rose in a straight line.

Moreover, as a continuous stream of Heaven‑and‑Earth energy was drawn in, nourished by that energy, the disc's devouring power grew ever more terrifying.

Under the influence of this devouring force, the running wolf soul ahead had its speed sharply reduced.

"Howl!"

However, although the former's speed had dropped, the Phoenix Shadow remained uncontrolled, continuing to charge at it at breakneck speed.

"Damn it."

Sensing this, the wolf soul instantly leapt up like a thunderstorm.

But its combat experience was not lacking; seeing escape was futile, after weighing pros and cons it abandoned fleeing and turned to deal with the illusory shadow behind it.

Accompanied by a surge of blue light from its body, a wolf shadow identical in appearance to it broke away and sprinted toward the Phoenix Shadow.

"Aah!"

"Howl!"

In the next moment, the two soul behemoths clashed in the sky, pecking and biting each other in a frenzy.

As for the wolf soul, after the front wolf shadow separated, its body instantly grew much weaker.

"Damn it, I came in to stop them from opening the gate city, but didn't expect this guy to bring others. Now I'm wounded by that great formation and chased all over the ground by two Eight‑Star Dou Saints, what a disaster."

Seeing the current scene so unfavorable, the wolf soul felt a surge of anger.

Who could have thought that the opponent's arrival would cause such a massive power surge, with so many things supporting the great formation.

The earlier blast from the formation almost gave him a concussion.

Otherwise, at his prime, even a mid‑stage Nine‑Star Dou Saint wouldn't scare him; how could he be chased around by these two?

"Rumble—"

Yet before the wolf soul could catch its breath, the great formation in the sky suddenly moved again, launching a continuous rumbling assault at it.

Noticing this, the wolf soul turned its head and saw that Han Yu and Qiu Yue and their group had already fled far away.

After all, they weren't foolish; facing the unbeatable Pingnan Gate formation, self‑preservation was their priority.

"These kids just run away on their own!"

Seeing themselves abandoned, the wolf soul understood but couldn't help uttering a curse.

However, after realizing it couldn't outrun the formation, it simply stopped evading and turned around, its eyes flashing with an instant surge of blue light.

In the next instant, the Heaven‑and‑Earth energy within tens of thousands of miles transformed into an energy tide that it absorbed.

The tide of Heaven‑and‑Earth energy the wolf gathered was no weaker than Lin Feng's.

It was even more spectacular and massive.

Simultaneously, the wolf soul's size abruptly transformed from its original form into a colossal wolf shadow towering ten thousand zhang.

This wolf shadow's fur was entirely blue, and a pair of ten‑thousand‑zhang blue massive wings suddenly sprouted from its back.

"Hmm?"

Just as the wolf soul changed, Lin Feng's expression shifted suddenly, sensing something amiss.

"Heavenly Wolf Swallows the Sun, Frost Ice Solidifies the Realm!"

In the next moment, the wolf shadow lunged upward, its massive body instantly eclipsing the sun in the sky.

Immediately after, its huge form rapidly thinned and expanded.

In a flash, it transformed from a wolf shape into a semicircular blue energy shield that slammed down onto the ground.

Enveloping both Lin Feng and Xiao Ling within.

At the same time, Lin Feng could feel the temperature around him dropping sharply.

In an instant, the temperature fell sharply from the prior normal thirty‑to‑forty degrees to minus two‑to‑three hundred degrees.

Moreover, this decline shows no sign of stopping; it continues to plunge wildly!

"Isn't it supposed to be wind‑type? Then why does it possess such terrifying ice power?" Lin Feng stared at his palm, which was gradually frosting over, and felt a shock of horror.

At this temperature, anyone below a Seven‑Star Dou Saint would surely die upon entering!

"Hehe, human kid, do you really think I am merely wind‑type!"

Seeing the other's startled expression, the Wolf Spirit's smug voice echoed from all directions at once.

Hearing that, Lin Feng immediately furrowed his brows and shook off the frost on his body.

Then, with a calm expression, he said, "Your ice power reminds me of that vanished mysterious woman. Could it be that you had some connection with her before?"

As he spoke, Lin Feng's soul perception constantly scanned the surroundings to prevent himself from being attacked by the Wolf Spirit.

"Hehe, she is my master. And you have seen her fight before. Do you think the people of Tongling Sect would choose a Primordial Beast whose attribute doesn't match theirs as a combat partner and sign a Tongling contract with it?"

Hearing the other's question, the Wolf Spirit let out a hearty laugh.

Lin Feng, upon hearing that, immediately furrowed his brows.

Soon after, he said gravely, "It seems I was careless; I didn't expect you to be her Spirit Beast. Yet, considering your sudden surge in power and other clues, she must have already vanished by now."

"No, more precisely, the fragment soul of the body she controlled has already disappeared."

While speaking, Lin Feng's gaze suddenly shifted to his left.

There, at an unknown time, the Wolf Spirit had already appeared, fixing its cold, murderous gaze on Lin Feng ahead.

"That's right; I regained this state because I devoured that fragment soul of hers."

Hearing that, the Wolf Spirit lightly nodded its beastly head in acknowledgment.

"It allowed you to devour her fragment soul, which was originally at Dou Saint Peak level. After you consumed it, you only restored to early Nine‑Star Dou Saint strength. It seems you targeted that tree or a demon beast."

At that point, Lin Feng's eyes flickered, his expression turning uneasy as he said, "Otherwise, I don't think anything on this continent could have injured her that badly."

He had originally planned that once he established a foothold here, he would enlist that tree and that snake to help him deal with the people of Tongling Sect.

Now it seems that plan will have to be put on hold for the time being!

"You talk too much, kid. I'll give you two choices now. First, release your mind, let me take control of you, and we'll cooperate to become the ruler of Douqi Continent. Then we won't mistreat you at all."

Having said that, the Wolf Spirit immediately gave Lin Feng a cruel stare and continued, baring its teeth, "The second option is that I slaughter you now, then rule Douqi Continent on my own, becoming this continent's overlord!"

"Hehe, if you're so confident you can kill me, why bother with all these twists and trying to persuade me to surrender."

As soon as the other finished speaking, Lin Feng sneered and mocked.

He admitted that this Wolf Spirit was the strongest opponent he had faced so far.

But even though the opponent possesses mid‑Nine‑Star combat power, they still won't get any advantage here.

Moreover, he still has the aid of a great formation!

"Rumble—"

Moments after the other finished speaking, terrifying forces surged from all directions, instantly shattering the energy dome above.

"Bang!"

Yet, at the instant the energy dome above shattered, the ice surface beneath Lin Feng ruptured without warning.

Then two ice wolves sprang out from it, lunging to bite at Lin Feng.

From their aura, each ice wolf possessed early Nine‑Star Dou Saint strength.

Seeing this, Lin Feng immediately furrowed his brows; the Heavenly Phoenix's twin wings behind him flared, and with his agile movement he instantly dodged to the side.

While dodging, the quiet Xiao Ling in the distance suddenly seemed to receive a signal and, without hesitation, charged straight at Lin Feng.

Before the wolf's shadow could intervene, it had already returned to Lin Feng's body.

"Human‑Fire Fusion, Ten Thousand Fires True Body!"

In the next instant, Lin Feng swiftly formed a series of hand seals.

In his eyes, golden flames suddenly ignited.

Then the flames coalesced, and within his jet‑black pupils two tiny flame lotuses quietly emerged.

At the same moment, a cataclysmic aura, as if intent on destroying everything, surged.

Like a storm, it suddenly swept out from Lin Feng's body.

"Boom!"

As that apocalyptic aura burst forth from his body, Lin Feng's own body spontaneously ignited without warning.

The golden flames, in less than a heartbeat, filled every part of his body—skin, muscle, bone.

Every part of his body now burned with golden fire.

Even the blue‑red feathered wings on his back melted in the flames, then reformed into a pair of broad golden fire wings.

Amid the burning flames, a terrifying momentum surged violently from within Lin Feng.

"Sizzle."

At the same time, his body rapidly turned the same color as the flames.

From a distance, Lin Feng now resembled a small golden statue, radiating brilliant golden light.

"Again that secret technique?!"

Sensing the familiar change in Lin Feng, the Wolf Spirit's pointed snout twitched slightly.

But soon he snorted coldly, "Even if you temporarily boost your strength to Nine‑Star Dou Saint, I still don't believe my ice can't extinguish your fire!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the two ice wolves rushed at Lin Feng again.

As for his true form, it turned and cast a cold gaze toward the Yao Clan Elder standing before the Stone Platform.

Then its four limbs sprang into motion, and its body sprinted rapidly toward that mountain peak.

"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!"

While running, the wolf spirit didn't forget to open its mouth and spat out several energy beams toward the opponent.

Seeing this, Lin Feng could only immediately have the Yao clan Elder protect him, lest the Gate City's formation close, giving Han Yu and the others outside a chance.

After ordering the Yao clan Elder, Lin Feng's gaze immediately returned to the two ice wolves charging ahead, a cold smile flashing at the corner of his mouth.

"From the aura of these two ice wolves, they must be parts of the wolf spirit's body. Under the threat of the Gate City's great formation, it had to weaken itself and split into three parts. Looks like this Gate City really did a great service."

Mid‑speech, Lin Feng flicked his palm and hurled two terrifyingly powerful colored Imperial Lotuses.

The two ice wolves, sensing the wave of destructive aura emanating from the Fire Lotus before them, did not dare to be careless; they immediately opened their mouths and spat out a Cold Current, trying to extinguish Lin Feng's Fire Lotus with it.

However, Lin Feng now wielded the True Form of Ten Thousand Fires merged with Xiao Ling, each combining their own strengths.

Don't be fooled by the fact that Lin Feng's Fire Lotus was just casually formed; that single instant consumed fifty to sixty percent of his internal battle Qi.

At the same time, the power of that Fire Lotus was such that even a Nine‑Star Dou Sheng dared not take it lightly.

Therefore, it was so easily extinguished by the Cold Current.

Boom! Boom!

In the next instant, the Fire Lotus, braced against the Cold Current, flew to the two ice wolves and instantly released the massive energy hidden within its tiny body.

In a flash, a terrifying destructive storm swept across the sky.

It melted a great deal of the ice covering the ground below.

Aah!

In the next moment, amid the firestorm spreading across the ten‑thousand‑foot sky, the two ice wolves leapt out, their forms flickering, and suddenly appeared before Lin Feng.

"Oh, they can teleport within this Ice Realm, and when the Fire Lotus exploded earlier, they relied on drawing energy from the Ice Realm to resist the blast. Looks like I have to leave this Ice Realm."

Mid‑sentence, Lin Feng's body shot out like a cannonball, soaring at full speed toward the distant horizon.

Whoosh!

However, just as he moved, an ice wolf flashed back in front of him.

Seeing this, Lin Feng, his body ablaze with golden flames, spread his hands helplessly and said, "Fine, it seems you don't want me to leave this place."

Speaking, he glanced at the ice wolf behind him.

Whoosh!

Whoosh!

In the next instant, the two ice wolves gulped a huge mouthful of Ice Realm energy, then one after the other launched a bone‑piercing Cold Current about a hundred zhang in size toward Lin Feng.

As the Cold Current shot out at speed, everything it passed—including space itself—solidified into ice.

Even time itself seemed to freeze.

Bang!

Faced with this, Lin Feng quickly crossed his hands and then flung them apart again, hurling two half‑zhang colored Fire Lotuses.

Boom! Boom!

In the next moment, two firestorms again swept across the sky, raging wildly over the Ice Realm.

As for Lin Feng, he seized the brief lag caused by the Imperial Lotus explosion's firestorm, darted to the side, and escaped the ice wolves' encirclement.

Snort

Seeing Lin Feng escape, the two ice wolves immediately exhaled a burst of air, clearly frustrated by their ineffective attack.

But soon they exchanged glances, then split left and right, rushing toward him.

From their looks, they seemed ready to encircle Lin Feng again and kill him in one strike.

Heh

Facing the wolves' encirclement, Lin Feng only sneered, and when they drew near, he leapt backward swiftly, evading their attacks.

At the same time, he reached forward, grasped firmly, and said coldly, "You wretched beast, how about trying the Forbidden Box made from this Devouring Grass Clamp."

As soon as the words left his mouth, Lin Feng's thoughts shifted.

Immediately after, the two ice wolves finally noticed a cross‑shaped green object that had silently appeared beneath their feet.

From its shape it looked like an open green cardboard box.

Except this green 'box' was rather large, occupying almost a ten‑thousand‑zhang area.

Aah!

Although they didn't know what it was, their instinct told them they must leave this place immediately.

And the faster they run, the better!

Realizing this, they thrust their hind legs and leapt elsewhere.

Clack!

However, at the moment they leapt, the cross‑shaped green 'box' below snapped shut like a spring, turning into a green cube.

As for the two ice wolves above, only one managed to slip out of the green thing below, while the other was trapped inside.

"Heh, looks like this Forbidden Box made from Devouring Grass works quite well."

Seeing a Nine‑Star Dou Sheng‑level ice wolf helplessly trapped inside, Lin Feng couldn't help but let a wild grin spread across his face.

The Forbidden Box was forged by removing the long spikes from the Devouring Grass Clamp, using the clamp's main body together with a large amount of extremely precious metals and crystal materials.

Its hardness is such that even an early‑stage Nine‑Star Dou Sheng would find it hard to break.

It is truly the perfect choice for imprisoning living beings.

Capture!

After sealing one ice wolf inside, Lin Feng immediately gestured.

The Forbidden Box instantly shrank to fist size, sliding back into his palm with a smooth whir.

Grasping the green box, Lin Feng felt the trapped ice wolf thrashing wildly, trying to break the box, and he shook his head with a smile.

The Devouring Grass itself possesses a tremendous absorptive power, capable of corrupting and devouring countless living beings.

Moreover, he also incorporated the forging method of the Gate of Deathly Silence.

The small space inside is likewise filled with death aura that can corrode living beings' flesh and soul.

The corrosive power of the devouring herb, combined with the death aura, means this Ice Wolf barely reaches the Early Nine Stars Dou Saint; entering it is essentially a death sentence.

Of course, because the death aura and corrosive force are so strong, it's better not to put something like a Golden Core in there.

Otherwise, those two auras would merge into a Ninth‑grade Golden Core, and Lin Feng's alchemy cannot refine a Ninth‑grade Golden Core.

Therefore, he must keep the Golden Core's condition stable.

Otherwise, when it comes time to purge the death aura and corrosive force, it won't be pleasant.

"Damn you, kid, you grabbed one of my heads!"

As Lin Feng seized that Ice Wolf, a Wolf Soul of the Yao clan, who was disturbing the controlling array from afar, let out an angry roar.

Immediately, he couldn't even bother the Yao clan Elder and summoned the remaining Ice Wolf back.

"Heh, merging isn't that easy!"

Seeing this, Lin Feng smirked, and his twin wings behind him were instantly dyed an earth‑yellow by Wind‑Rage Dragon Flame.

Then, under the triple boost of Wind‑Rage Dragon Flame, Heaven‑Phoenix Speed, and Heaven‑Step Top‑Tier Body Technique Phoenix‑Flying Nine Heavens, his body surged toward the last remaining Ice Wolf.

"Asshole, Xiao Yan, you dare hurt my head again; I won't finish with you!"

Seeing the other's move, the Wolf Soul's limbs were swiftly wrapped by a teal Dragon Vortex; as it charged full force, it warned.

However, Lin Feng couldn't possibly heed the threat; his soul power surged, instantly replenishing a massive amount of Dou Qi.

Then, it closed, and slowly opened again.

Meanwhile, in the space his hands were widening, a flame lotus far more potent than the previous fire lotuses was rapidly forming.

Looking up, one could see that atop this Imperial Lotus, a dozen or so colors intermingled, making it exceptionally beautiful.

"Die!"

As the Imperial Lotus just stabilized, Lin Feng immediately, impatiently, hurled it at the running Ice Wolf ahead.

As for his body, it swiftly retreated.

After all, he has no habit of physically resisting the Imperial Lotus.

While he retreated, a dazzling light ahead, like another blazing sun, suddenly flickered into being.

Then, an indescribable destructive wave radiated outward from within the Imperial Lotus.

"Boom!"

Accompanied by a terrifying rumble, it burst outward, instantly shrouding the sky for a hundred‑mile radius.

Simultaneously, an indescribable destructive storm swept across the sky in all directions.

Where it passed, the earth shattered, mountains vanished, rivers dried up; its destructive power was truly god‑defying!

Meanwhile, the Ice Wolf closest to the blast's core was instantly engulfed by the seemingly all‑devouring flame storm.

Even the Wolf Soul that rushed in to rescue vanished within it.

In the next instant, Lin Feng sensed that all the energy in this Ice Realm had been completely drained by the Ice Wolf at the blast's core.

At the same time, as the energy depleted, the piercing ice on the ground below instantly turned to void, as if it had never existed.

This means the Wolf Soul's Ice Realm has become ineffective.

The flame storm lasted for quite a while before gradually dissipating.

As the flames faded, a figure wrapped in black smoke finally fell from the central zone, landing in a terribly disheveled state on the ground below.

Lin Feng's gaze swept over, and he saw that the figure cloaked entirely in black vapor was the Wolf Soul.

However, at this moment, it had changed, from a single‑headed wolf to a double‑headed form.

Moreover, one of its heads, resembling a frosty skull, was blackened to the point of being pitch.

It looked like a thick piece of black charcoal.

Yet, although the Wolf Soul now had an extra head, its aura was far more languid than before.

Obviously, it had rescued that head earlier but also sustained some injury.

Combined with the damage from the Pingnan Pass Grand Array earlier, the double blow left it gravely wounded.

"Oh, judging by its shape, the Wolf Soul's full form should have three heads and a pair of wings. When needed, it can turn the other two heads into avatars. Just now, being sandwiched by me and the Grand Array, it split to meet the enemy. I didn't expect my power to far exceed expectations, and ended up losing a head."

Looking at the double‑headed wolf below, Lin Feng silently speculated.

After all, what that creature said earlier was to return my head.

He thought the guess was about eighty‑ninety percent accurate.

"Asshole, today I will definitely kill you!"

The Wolf Soul below shook its two heads, flicked off the black smoke, and immediately shouted angrily at Lin Feng.

Today, it was the most humiliating moment in its ten‑thousand‑year life.

Being injured by this under‑hundred‑year‑old kid was bad enough, and even its head was snatched.

This outrageous humiliation was a disgrace beyond words!

"Hehe, I also have this intention; since you are the spirit‑pet soul of the sect master of the Tongling Sect who was kept outside, today I will slaughter you no matter what. After all, I despise dead‑but‑not‑rigid old things like you the most."

As he spoke, Lin Feng's slightly weary face instantly hardened into a cold, fierce expression.

This kind of old thing possessed overwhelming power in life, with methods and will far surpassing peers.

And I don't always have a Grand Array of Pingnan Pass's caliber to aid me.

So keeping it will eventually become a disaster!

After all, the Wolf Soul before me is so strong that even Wu Nie Tun Yan would turn away upon seeing it.

If it weren't for Pingnan Pass's assistance, I would have had to retreat today.

After all, fighting the opponent without the aid of a fortified city, I could only claim confidence in surviving and escaping.

As for not fleeing and fighting to the death, because the opponent has no physical body, my Emperor Realm soul gained a considerable advantage.

The final outcome is roughly a 50% chance of mutual destruction, a 30% chance I win, and a 20% chance the opponent wins—

Sorry, still a bit off; I'll make it up tomorrow morning.
