without a word, he raised his hand and released the black iron boat, leaping onto it without hesitation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He formed a hand seal with one hand, channeling his cultivation energy into the iron boat beneath him; the artifact trembled slightly before shooting toward the mountain range.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not just him—in the direction of his gaze, figures emerged from the dense forests in other directions, all streaking toward the mountains.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Clearly, the appearance of this Foundation Establishment wolf had turned every sect disciple in this region into birds startled by arrows.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Almost simultaneously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The green giant wolf shook its two tails behind it; dozens of pale green spiritual runes surfaced, coalescing in an instant into a massive spell rune pattern, densely packed with nearly eighty runes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A pale green sphere, nearly a zhang in diameter, condensed at the center of the rune pattern.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Whoosh.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The massive sphere shot forward at blinding speed, overtaking the fleeing disciples in just two flashes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Disciples from all sects who had entered the Jialan Secret Realm—whether demonic cultivators or disciples of the Four Great Sects of Great Ming—were no weaklings; over a dozen simultaneously activated their spiritual light, each casting spells to flee, desperately avoiding the giant sphere.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the next instant, a thunderous “Boom!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The giant sphere exploded, unleashing a torrent of dense green wind blades that rained outward in all directions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Terrified, those nearby activated various defensive artifacts and talismans, their bodies glowing with colored shields—but at such close range, nearly everyone took seven or eight wind blade strikes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Instantly, screams rose in a chorus!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Most were pierced through their layered defenses, sliced into pieces, and plummeted from the sky.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only a handful had defenses strong enough to withstand every strike, then activated life-saving escape techniques and fled blindly toward the mountains without looking back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing this, the green giant wolf’s eyes grew even redder; its two massive tails lashed the nearby void, summoning a furious gale, and its enormous body vanished into the wind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Bang.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A giant claw, the size of a house, suddenly descended from the sky, crushing a Black Soul Sect disciple riding a spiritual boat into pulp; his layered protective shields burst like fireworks and vanished instantly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only then did the blurred form of the giant green wolf fully materialize in the upper void, but after another flick of its twin tails, its body vanished again into the wind; the next instant, the same colossal claw descended above another disciple of the Setting Sun Sect.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This Setting Sun Sect disciple, in despair, slashed desperately at the claw with a red longsword artifact—but was still crushed along with his weapon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The remaining two were terrified out of their wits; one instantly transformed into a white light and plummeted like a meteor toward the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But before he could reach the dense forest, a second giant yellow wolf leapt up from below and swallowed him whole.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The last one was unmistakably a graceful woman from the Joyful Palace; seeing all others dead, though terrified, she suddenly pulled a furry little creature from her bosom and hurled it violently toward the ground, then crushed the pink pearl in her hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Puff!” A thick cloud of pink mist spread, obscuring everything within a radius of more than ten zhang.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, the blurred form of the green giant wolf appeared in the lower void, shook its massive head, and gently snatched up the furry creature—but then its twin tails lashed violently at the pink mist above.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Two thunderous roars erupted!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The pink mist was swept clean as if slashed by two giant blades, leaving the empty void where the Joyful Palace female disciple had been—now vanished without a trace.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing this, the green giant wolf dropped the little creature onto the ground, raised its head, and let out another piercing howl.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This time, wolf howls echoed across dozens of li, and packs of wolves of various colors emerged from unknown places, surging en masse toward the green giant wolf.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Disciples from various sects who had been hiding in the dense forest and hadn’t noticed the danger were suddenly surrounded by wolves; explosions and roars erupted everywhere in the woods, countless souls now locked in desperate battles.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang Yu, who had been racing forward on his black iron boat, his eyes flashing with crystalline light, had observed everything happening far away; his eyelids twitched twice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had thought he was the only disciple of the Four Great Sects of Great Ming in this region—but clearly, hundreds of them were hidden in the dense forest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He didn’t know whether these people, like him, had already fought one or two battles with demonic disciples, or whether they had all been hiding silently, each going their own way.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the fact that a Foundation Establishment beast still existed in the Jialan Secret Realm was truly deadly; from now on, he must not only watch out for demonic true disciples, but also for the beasts within the realm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Still, Wang Yu secretly rejoiced that, though he had encountered many wolves before, none had awakened this Foundation Establishment wolf king.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He wondered what those dozen or so disciples had been thinking—had they deliberately provoked the Foundation Establishment wolf king? Wasn’t a second-rank beast’s cub hardly worth such a risk?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He felt a flicker of suspicion, but had no time to dwell on it, for twenty or more green-furred vicious wolves, their bodies shimmering with green light, charged straight at him with murderous intent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang Yu’s expression changed slightly; his thoughts raced.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was a Foundation Establishment wolf nearby; whether he slaughtered them all or tried to stall them, the outcome would likely be disastrous.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thinking this, he formed a hand seal, muttered incantations, and instantly, crimson and azure spiritual runes appeared on his lower legs; crimson and azure light condensed into two glowing circular wheels above his feet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Whoosh.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang Yu shot forward as a faint azure shadow, flashing once—he pierced straight through the wolf pack, crushing two vicious wolves into blood mist mid-flight, then reappeared in the void behind them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The pack of wolves startled, howling and turning around.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But now, the dual wind-fire wheels beneath Wang Yu’s feet spun again, transforming into a long crimson-and-azure rainbow that tore through the air and vanished into the distance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Boom.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang Yu crashed heavily onto the peak of a small hill, shattering a massive boulder beneath him; both legs sank halfway into the rubble, up to his thighs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang Yu slapped the ground with one hand and shot out of the rubble with a “whoosh,” but his feet were charred black, his face deathly pale, devoid of all color.\u003C\u002Fp>",1129,"2026-06-20T15:44:30.991Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","669295c27041e0cddec9509923c1efb999448d8d36bc03355f25ea10e5f04bb9","the-immortal-path-among-the-stars-chapter-170","the-immortal-path-among-the-stars-chapter-168",530,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fthe-immortal-path-among-the-stars-cover.jpg"]
