Chapter 113: Moon-Howling Heavenly Wolf
Ye Wuque turned into a golden stream of light, moving through the chaotic and dangerous spacetime rift, steadfastly advancing toward the core region where energy fluctuations are most violent.
However, the further he went, the stronger his sense of astonishment became.
Compared to when he first entered the spacetime rift, the number of living beings in this region has increased by tens of millions of times?!
Wherever he looked, almost everywhere teemed with swarming living beings!
Dark Cultivators of all kinds of races and factions, like sharks smelling blood, surged from all directions, thick and dense, covering the sky and earth!
They rode various flying magical treasures, or relied on their formidable cultivation to shuttle directly, each with fiery eyes, filled with greed and desire, desperately rushing toward the core region.
The already chaotic spacetime rift was now filled with clamor, and energy fluctuations were in utter chaos.
In order to seize the streaming light treasures that occasionally burst forth from the depths, carrying the aura of spacetime, slaughter and battle erupted everywhere, roars, screams, and collisions of energy rising and falling, pushing the danger here to an unprecedented peak.
"This is certainly not just the extreme opening of an ordinary spacetime rift..."
Ye Wuque's eyes flickered, and he had already formed a judgment in his mind.
The scene before him was too vast, the influx of living beings too numerous, like a massive gathering sweeping across the southern region of Boundless Heaven!
He slowed his speed, his powerful soul power spreading like invisible tendrils, carefully capturing the discussions of surrounding beings, trying to understand what had happened.
"There are really so many people! It's utterly exaggerated compared to the spacetime rupture three hundred years ago!"
An elderly-looking man, while carefully avoiding a spatial rift, sighed to his companion beside him.
"That's natural! Every spacetime rupture is a great event that shakes the eight directions, drawing countless experts! Moreover, according to some ancient records, this spacetime rupture in our deepest abyss is the largest in scale in nearly a thousand years! The commotion it causes is naturally unprecedented!"
His companion, a middle-aged scholar-like Dark Cultivator, said, his eyes likewise filled with excitement and solemnity.
"Spacetime rupture?" Ye Wuque caught that keyword, his heart stirred.
It sounds like this is a phenomenon more violent and rarer than the extreme opening of a spacetime rift.
"What exactly is happening inside? How could it trigger such a massive spacetime rupture?"
Not far away, another group of Dark Cultivators were also discussing.
"Who knows! The way of spacetime is profoundly mysterious, hardest to grasp and predict. Perhaps an ancient great world on the other side underwent a violent change, its energy shockwave hitting us; perhaps a forbidden relic silent for myriad ages is about to appear; or perhaps... a supreme spacetime treasure has matured, drawing a tide of laws!"
A Dark Cultivator who seemed to have studied the way of spacetime guessed, his face filled with awe.
"In short, no one knows what strange or unimaginable place lies on the other side of this spacetime rupture! What bursts forth from within is also unknown—could be a heaven-defying opportunity, or perhaps... a world-ending danger!" Another voice, trembling slightly, added.
"It could be an opportunity or a calamity; either is possible. But anyway, since we've caught up, why return empty-handed? Seek wealth in danger! Go! Speed up, no matter what, we must get a share!" Greed finally overcame fear; countless people, eyes red, sped up and rushed toward the depths.
"Hiss... look over there! That purple light! Such a rich medicinal fragrance! Could it be a peerless precious medicine of tens of millions of years?!" Suddenly someone pointed at a purple stream of light shooting out in the distance and exclaimed!
Within that purple light, a plant resembling a true dragon could be faintly seen, its swaying leaves scattering endless starlight; the medicinal fragrance it emitted, even a single breath, made one feel their cultivation bottleneck loosening.
"It's mine!!"
"Get out! Who dares to compete with me for it?"
Boom!!
Nearby, a large number of beings instantly went mad, surging forward like hungry wolves pouncing on food, to seize that precious medicine, various supernatural abilities and magical treasures collided instantly, shattering the space of that area, blood flying, and instantly a fierce melee erupted.
Ye Wuque withdrew his gaze, his mind already clear.
Spacetime rupture!
A cosmic phenomenon far surpassing the ordinary opening of a spacetime rift, vast in scale and full of the unknown, is occurring here!
This undoubtedly explains why such a huge number of beings have surged in, and also means that any opportunity that may appear will be far superior in rank and quantity to before.
He couldn't help but shake his head slightly, a faintly strange smile appearing, and he thought to himself: "It seems wherever I go, unparalleled opportunities manifest... Could this be the treatment of the legendary Child of Fortune?"
But this thought merely flashed through his mind before he shook his head and laughed it away.
He believed more that success depends on human effort; so-called opportunities usually come with equal or even greater risk, requiring absolute strength to contend for and protect.
However, soon the smile on his face gradually faded, his brows slightly furrowed.
Spacetime rupture means greater opportunity, but also……greater chaos, greater unpredictable danger!
For some reason, combining his earlier encounter with Nine Nether beings in that remote rift and the mad howl of the Dark Nine Heavens before its death, a vague sense of foreboding, like dark clouds, quietly settled over Ye Wuque's heart.
This sudden, unprecedented spacetime rupture just happened to coincide with the eerie appearance of Nine Nether beings... Is this truly just a coincidence?
"Does the descent of the Holy Son from the depths of the Nine Nether have anything to do with this spacetime rupture? What exactly are they plotting?"
Ye Wuque's eyes grew deep and vigilant.
He did not let the possible heaven-shaking opportunity cloud his judgment; instead, he became even more cautious.
He extended his soul power to the utmost, carefully sensing every stir around him, while maintaining his speed, he continued to advance slowly and firmly toward the core region, each step as steady as Mount Tai.
After he had advanced for about the time it takes to burn an incense stick—
Boom—rumble—rumble—!!
From an extremely distant direction behind him, a sudden wave of violently intense energy, overbearing to the point of suffocation, arrived!
The strength of this wave even temporarily overwhelmed the clamor and chaos of this area!
At the same time, a terrifying wolf howl, as if it could tear the heavens and shatter the Star River, rolled forth like thunder from the Nine Heavens.
Awoo——!!
This wolf howl was not a single sound but nine consecutive cries, each higher and more ferocious than the last, filled with ancient, vastness, and a kingly majesty emanating from deep within the bloodline!
"What sound?!!"
"Good, good, how terrifying the pressure!"
"It's coming from behind!"
Countless beings who had been charging or fighting halted in shock, turning their heads in uncertainty toward the direction the wave came from.
Ye Wuque also stopped his steps, his eyes like lightning, gazing toward that distant horizon.
He saw that at the edge of his vision, the chaotic spacetime energy was forcibly pushed aside by an overwhelmingly tyrannical force, and a nine-headed giant wolf, huge enough to make one's soul tremble, was trampling the Void, coming at extreme speed.
Each of the nine heads of the giant wolf was as large as a star, its entire body covered in silver-white fur, like moonlight woven, smooth and sacred.
Their limbs were strong and powerful; with a swipe of their wolf claws, they could easily tear Space.
What is most striking is their foreheads, each bearing a curved, dazzling, eye-catching silver crescent moon mark, emitting a cold and noble aura!
Their eyes are pure silver, filled with wisdom, wildness, and a cold indifference that looks down upon all beings!
Howl, Moon-Howling Sky Wolf! And it's nine-headed!!
Knowledgeable beings instantly recognized the origin of this giant wolf, letting out an incredulous scream, their voices distorted by fear!
