The Terrifying Soul Devouring Magic Wolf Emperor

"Chrysanthemum Elder, if the Soul Devouring Magic Wolf King truly possesses the ability to devour Soul Power, then it should be among the strongest Super Soul Beasts, right? But according to what you just said, this Soul Devouring Magic Wolf King should only be relatively low-ranking among Super Soul Beasts!" After his initial shock, Long Yun noticed something was off. With more than seven hundred years of cultivation, it could only contend with ordinary Soul Beasts that had three or four thousand years of cultivation. That should make it fairly ordinary among Super Soul Beasts, shouldn't it?

The ability to devour Soul Power was not weak! Combined with its ferocious, sinister appearance, Long Yun found it hard to believe that the Soul Devouring Magic Wolf King was merely an ordinary Super Soul Beast.

"Of course it isn't merely low-ranking. The Soul Devouring Magic Wolf King can roughly be divided into two stages. Before reaching one hundred thousand years, it is called the Soul Devouring Magic Wolf King. At that stage, if it wishes to devour the Soul Power of a Soul Master or Soul Beast, it must make physical contact. This kind of devouring takes time and is inefficient, making it difficult to absorb large amounts of Soul Power. That is why the Soul Devouring Magic Wolf King is not particularly outstanding among Super Soul Beasts," Yue Guan explained.

"But once the Soul Devouring Magic Wolf King grows to the one-hundred-thousand-year level, it undergoes an enormous transformation—one could even call it evolution. At that point, it can no longer be called the Soul Devouring Magic Wolf King. It is instead known as the Soul Devouring Magic Wolf Emperor!" Yue Guan's tone turned far more serious as he spoke.

"The Soul Devouring Magic Wolf Emperor?" Long Yun asked doubtfully. Though it was only the difference of a single word between king and emperor, Long Yun did not believe the change would be minor. From the shift in Yue Guan's tone alone, he could sense just how vast the gap was.

"Roar!"

Long Yun and Yue Guan were chatting away happily and casually, as though they were the only two people present. But the Soul Devouring Magic Wolf King standing there was not pleased. These two humans were calmly chatting right in front of it—who were they looking down on? Did they really think it did not exist? It immediately let out an angry roar to make its presence known.

Then, with a powerful push from its hind legs, it pounced toward Long Yun and Yue Guan, intending to kill the two humans with a bite and a swipe of its claws.

Long Yun and Yue Guan's conversation came to a temporary end because of the Soul Devouring Magic Wolf King's roar. They turned toward it at the same time, strange smiles appearing on both their faces. This Soul Devouring Magic Wolf King truly did not know the immensity of heaven and earth!

There was even a hint of pity in Long Yun's gaze as he looked at the Soul Devouring Magic Wolf King. You've really got some nerve! A Titled Douluo is standing right here, and instead of fleeing at once, you provoke him? Aren't you courting death? What a hardheaded fool!

But the Soul Devouring Magic Wolf King could not really be blamed. When Yue Guan arrived, he had completely restrained his aura, without allowing even the slightest trace of Soul Power to leak out. He seemed like an ordinary person, so the Soul Devouring Magic Wolf King had sensed no danger at all and regarded Yue Guan as a normal human. Since Long Yun had yet to obtain a Soul Ring, the aura he gave off posed no threat whatsoever. Faced with two such humans, why would the Soul Devouring Magic Wolf King back down? It attacked the moment it saw them!

However, it regretted that leap immediately!

As Yue Guan watched it pounce at them, he silently praised its courage. Then he snorted coldly, and his Soul Power surged toward the Soul Devouring Magic Wolf King like a mountain flood. It froze the beast in midair. Aside from its demon-like eyes, which could still move, every other part of its body was utterly motionless, like a statue.

The instant it sensed an overwhelmingly powerful wave of Soul Power rushing toward it, one so powerful that it had no ability to resist, the Soul Devouring Magic Wolf King regretted its actions. It had no desire to fight at all and only wanted to turn around and flee at once. But could it escape?

The Soul Power had reached its body almost at the exact moment the thought of running entered its mind. In an instant, its body was no longer under its control. Other than its eyes, which could still reveal its terror and unease, it could do nothing. It could only await slaughter.

Long Yun's expression changed as he watched the scene, shock spreading across his face. He looked at the Soul Devouring Magic Wolf King frozen in the air, then at the calm Yue Guan beside him, but could not utter a single word.

Is this the strength of a Titled Douluo? Without even releasing a Soul Ring, he easily subdued a Soul Devouring Magic Wolf King with more than seven hundred years of cultivation using only Soul Power. This is truly terrifying! Long Yun marveled inwardly.

Long Yun could not help growing curious about what it would look like when a Titled Douluo fought using Soul Skills. He wanted to witness a Titled Douluo going all out for real. That would surely be thrilling!

"Let's continue," Yue Guan said as he turned to Long Yun after effortlessly subduing the Soul Devouring Magic Wolf King. His expression remained calm, as if nothing had happened. To him, subduing the Soul Devouring Magic Wolf King was as easy as drinking water, naturally not worth any emotional reaction.

"Mhm." Long Yun shook his head, suppressing the turmoil in his heart.

"The Soul Devouring Magic Wolf Emperor is the name given to the Soul Devouring Magic Wolf King after it evolves. Don't be fooled by the simple change in name. Its strength undergoes an earth-shattering transformation, not only because it rises from the ten-thousand-year level to the one-hundred-thousand-year level, but also because of the change in its ability to devour Soul Power."

"The Soul Devouring Magic Wolf Emperor no longer needs physical contact to devour the Soul Power of Soul Beasts and Soul Masters. It can devour its opponent's Soul Power from a distance and use it to nourish itself. In other words, as long as it wishes to, simply standing near it allows it to devour your Soul Power. The crucial part is that you have almost no means of resisting unless you kill it."

"At that stage, the Soul Devouring Magic Wolf Emperor is one of the very strongest even among Super Soul Beasts. Few Soul Beasts can compare with it," Yue Guan said.

"No wonder. So the Soul Devouring Magic Wolf King has an evolved form. I was wondering how a creature with such an ability could be merely an ordinary Super Soul Beast." Beyond his shock, Long Yun now felt a measure of understanding.

"Are there any one-hundred-thousand-year Soul Devouring Magic Wolf Emperors?" Long Yun casually asked.

"I don't know, but there is a very high chance that none exist." Yue Guan shook his head.

"Why?" Long Yun asked in confusion.

"Because the devouring ability of a one-hundred-thousand-year Soul Devouring Magic Wolf Emperor is simply too terrifying. Even heaven itself seems unable to tolerate its existence. Thus, whenever a Soul Devouring Magic Wolf King is about to break through to one hundred thousand years, heaven sends down Thunder Tribulation. Even a Titled Douluo would face near-certain death before such Thunder Tribulation, much less a Soul Devouring Magic Wolf King that has yet to reach the one-hundred-thousand-year level. Therefore, when they face Thunder Tribulation, there is basically only one outcome: death!" Yue Guan explained.

"There's such a thing?" Long Yun looked at the Soul Devouring Magic Wolf King in surprise, his eyes filled with astonishment and sympathy. He was astonished by the Soul Devouring Magic Wolf Emperor's strength—strong enough to make heaven send down Thunder Tribulation. Just how unwelcome to heaven was it? It seemed being too strong was not necessarily a good thing. Naturally, he pitied its miserable fate. After painstakingly cultivating to the one-hundred-thousand-year level, death was what awaited it. That really was rather tragic.

"But that's not right! If no Soul Devouring Magic Wolf King has ever evolved into a Soul Devouring Magic Wolf Emperor, then why does the name Soul Devouring Magic Wolf Emperor exist? And why are there records of it?" Long Yun suddenly noticed the contradiction and asked with a frown.

"One Soul Devouring Magic Wolf Emperor appeared in history. It is also the only one recorded in Spirit Hall's archives, perhaps the only one on the entire continent. The reason records of the Soul Devouring Magic Wolf Emperor exist is because one of Spirit Hall's predecessors happened to encounter it," Yue Guan said bitterly.

Long Yun said nothing and simply listened attentively.

"Six thousand years ago, five elders of Spirit Hall joined forces to hunt three Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts in the Star Dou Great Forest when they accidentally encountered the Soul Devouring Magic Wolf Emperor. At the time, the five elders believed it to be an ordinary Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast and planned to kill it along with the others. But once they fought, they truly experienced the terror of this Soul Beast. When black light flashed around the Soul Devouring Magic Wolf Emperor's body, the Soul Power within the five elders began draining rapidly. Then, during the battle that followed, it seemed to use some kind of Innate Skill, instantly draining half the Soul Power from the five elders' bodies. Even all the Heaven and Earth Soul Power within several miles was completely drained away."

"The five elders were horrified and immediately realized something was wrong. They wanted to retreat, but the Soul Devouring Magic Wolf Emperor had no intention of letting them go so easily. After a brutal battle, only one elder left the Star Dou Great Forest alive. Even then, he was severely injured and had lost an arm. The elder who escaped had been at Soul Power Level ninety-six at the time and was close to breaking through to level ninety-seven," Yue Guan said solemnly.
