As the spaceship gradually approached, the atmosphere among Kailun and his team grew increasingly tense.
Finally, the ship arrived at a point ten million kilometers outside of lake number 2921.
At this distance, they had reached the detection limit of Kailun's sensors. On the screen, a massive gray wolf over ten kilometers long was burning with raging flames, wantonly destroying everything in its path.
Every time a cluster of flames fell, a World Lord would perish. As for the Universe Level and Domain Lord Level warriors, there was no chance of survival in such a situation; they had long since been slaughtered by this Sky Wolf.
Only a few clever World Lords remained, relying on various means to preserve their lives under such dire circumstances.
"It's over. It's actually an Immortal from the royal Sky Wolf Race of the Demon Race. What are we supposed to do?" Kailun said anxiously. If he had known, he wouldn't have waded into these muddy waters; he might even end up losing his own life.
"Captain, why don't we head back? This Immortal mission is clearly a trap. They didn't mark it as a Sky Wolf Race target early on. If any other strong individuals from our camp came here like we did, they would likely fall here too."
"That's right, Captain. We are still far from the battlefield, so we still have a chance to escape. If we wait any longer, I'm afraid we won't even be able to run."
"Captain, give the order. Hunyuan Units can be earned again, but if we lose our lives, then everything is truly gone."
Kailun, standing in the center of the group, was deeply conflicted. On one hand, he was concerned for his own safety, but on the other, there was the temptation of the Hunyuan Units.
If he could drive away that Sky Wolf, he would be able to obtain enough reward to purchase the Fire God Source Crystal and pursue the treasure left behind by that Machine Race individual.
However, the terrifying strength of that Sky Wolf constantly reminded him to be cautious. The matter of the Hunyuan Units could wait; he could accumulate them slowly. But if he lost his life, then everything would truly be gone.
"Money or life?" Kailun muttered to himself, weighing the pros and cons in his heart.
"Captain, don't hesitate. Let's go! I will go and hold off that Sky Wolf, and you all save the remaining World Lords!" Qin Cang said. Seeing that this Demon was actually from the Sky Wolf lineage of the Demon Race, he felt a surge of excitement. Wasn't this the perfect opponent for his current stage?
"Cao Benqi, that is a Sky Wolf of the Demon Race! Although your strength is comparable to an Immortal, you are no match for him," Kailun warned. Although Qin Cang's background and strength were not weak, he did not believe he could rival this Demon Sky Wolf. After all, the Demon Race and the Human Race had been at war for so many years, and the reputation of the Demon Race royals—much like the core geniuses of the Human Race—was carved out through countless battles.
"Captain, remember our agreement!" Qin Cang did not offer further explanation. He equipped his Blazing Flame Claws and charged toward the Sky Wolf.
"Hahaha, weak humans, all of you die! No one is coming to save you. Remember my name: the one who kills you is the great Immortal of the Sky Wolf Race—Skolls." The Sky Wolf named Skolls opened his mouth and inhaled, devouring dozens of World Lords. He even chewed on them, clearly treating the humans as nothing more than food.
"Your turn, human Immortal!" Skolls fixed his gaze on the commander of this army, his eyes filled with scrutiny and playfulness.
"Go to hell!" Skolls did not hesitate. His wolf claws gripped a pair of golden hammers, and he smashed them violently toward the Immortal.
Without any surprises, under this strike, even if the human Immortal didn't die, he would lose a massive amount of his divine body. It would only take a few more hits for this Immortal to perish completely at the hands of the Sky Wolf.
At the critical moment, five claw shadows appeared, seemingly crossing space itself. Wherever the shadows passed, miniature black holes crushed everything in their vicinity. Finally, the claw shadows, transformed by the black holes, slammed into the golden hammers. The sudden impact even forced the Sky Wolf back, allowing the human Immortal to escape death.
"I didn't expect you to actually dare to come, and I certainly didn't expect a mere World Lord to dare attack me. I originally intended to spare your lives, but now it seems that won't be necessary. Die together!" Skolls' sensors had detected strange signals before Kailun arrived, knowing that human reinforcements were coming, but he hadn't paid much attention. What kind of strength could reinforcements detected by his sensors possibly have?
He just hadn't expected this reinforcement to be a mere World Lord. He had assumed it would be an ordinary Immortal. But for a mere World Lord to dare seek trouble with him, a peak Immortal Military Lord, it was truly a case of someone not knowing how to spell the word 'death.'
"Demon Sky Wolf, I hope you can satisfy me. Kill!" Qin Cang did not waste words. He brandished his Blazing Flame Claws and charged toward the massive gray Sky Wolf.
"You seek death!" Skolls was enraged. To be so slighted by a World Lord meant he absolutely had to kill this person to regain his face.
The divine hammers in Skolls' hands ignited with endless golden flames. He had achieved Immortality through the Law of Fire Origin, and this strike utilized a self-created ultimate technique. Even an ordinary Immortal would not dare to take this blow head-on; using it against a World Lord was like using a sledgehammer to crack a nut!
However, the expected scene did not occur.
Qin Cang's Blazing Flame Claws erupted with brilliant light. As the claw shadows danced, space was sliced open layer by layer. Countless black holes emerged from the spatial rifts until, finally, one miniature black hole after another transformed into a claw shadow that met the golden giant hammers.
Although hammer techniques were famous for their power suppression, what in the universe dared to compare its power suppression to that of a black hole?
This strike from Qin Cang was one of the most perfect fusions of Shattered Shadow and Black Hole Evolution, and one of his greatest gains over the past century.
For the past hundred years, his Yan God Clan clone had sought the true meaning of fusing claw techniques into Black Hole Evolution, while his Crowned Python Clone had sought the true meaning of fusing spear techniques into Black Hole Evolution. Beyond that, he aimed to infuse his ultimate techniques with a hint of the Beast God's aura.
Through simulation and fusion, again and again, he had created a brand-new claw technique based on the foundation of Shattered Shadow.
He had been unable to find a suitable target for practical training, but now, this Demon Sky Wolf was the perfect subject to test the power of his claw technique!
The claw shadows collided with the giant hammers, and the violent fluctuations created fire tornadoes above the lake. The intermingling of water and fire highlighted the immense power of both combatants.
This first strike was a stalemate!
Qin Cang shook his head, not entirely satisfied with the result. "It seems this is the limit of my claw technique. If I want to go further, I would need to spend hundreds of years deducing and creating new ultimate techniques. Unfortunately, I don't have that time or energy. After I leave, I'll stick to using the spear."
"A mere World Lord, how could you have such strength?" Skolls was shocked to the core, but he also felt a trace of excitement. After all, if a World Lord possessed such strength, the rewards for successfully killing him would be even greater. In other words, killing this World Lord might be more profitable than wiping out ten legions!
"Human World Lord, tell me your name. You are qualified for me to take you seriously," Skolls said, narrowing his eyes. This was his habit before unleashing his full power.
"A dying little wolf has no right to know my name!" Qin Cang would not waste breath on him. Although the power of that previous claw was decent, it was only a probe. Now that he had a gauge of the Sky Wolf's strength—a mere peak Immortal Military Lord—he wasn't qualified to know his name.
"Return to Void!"
Qin Cang unleashed his second claw. Unlike the previous one, this technique had been perfected, and its power was far beyond what it had been before—perfect for dealing with this Sky Wolf!
As Qin Cang launched the second claw, the space around him shattered layer by layer. Flames appeared out of thin air, transforming into miniature black holes, which finally coalesced into the phantom of a giant beast, charging toward the Sky Wolf!
All of this happened in the blink of an eye. Skolls did not dare to be careless and responded with his strongest strike. With this claw, he truly felt a massive threat!
