The divine hammer in the hands of Skolls the Sky Wolf glowed with intense radiance, the endless flames seemingly intent on incinerating space itself. This was his all-out strike; by this moment, Skolls had long since come to view Qin Cang as an opponent of the same level, if not even more terrifying.

"Boom!"

The phantom of the giant beast manifested by Qin Cang's claw technique collided with Skolls' divine hammer, triggering a violent explosion. The shockwave from the blast surged in all directions, and even from a million kilometers away, one could clearly sense the intense energy fluctuations occurring here.

"Holy crap, is Cao Benqi really this fierce? I never noticed it before. By the way, he isn't going to hold a grudge, is he? I've won quite a few Hunyuan Units from him. What do I do? What do I do?" Although Kuin said this with his mouth, the smile on his face betrayed his current excitement.

"Enough, listen to Cao Benqi. We just need to save these World Lords; they are fresh troops for our Human Race faction and must not be slaughtered by a single Sky Wolf. As for over there, we shouldn't go and cause trouble. Cao Benqi can handle it himself; if we go, we'll only be a burden." Kailun was inwardly shocked. Although he had suspected that Qin Cang was hiding his strength, he hadn't expected it to be this immense. However, he also felt fortunate; it was a good thing he had chosen to explore the treasure grounds with Qin Cang initially. The stronger Qin Cang was and the deeper his background, the better it was for him.

At the center of the storm, Qin Cang finally revealed a trace of solemnity on his face. A peak Immortal Military Lord was indeed not easy to deal with, especially a powerhouse hailing from the royal family of the Demon Race. Whether in terms of secret techniques or treasures, they were top-tier among peers and could not be treated like ordinary Immortal Military Lords.

"Human brat, I come from the great Sky Wolf Clan and am a direct descendant of the great Lord of Sky Wolves. Today, I will let you know the consequences of offending my Demon Race. Die!" Skolls knew that if he could keep Qin Cang here today, the Demon Race's military system would surely grant him an extremely generous reward. Such an opportunity might not come along a few times in a lifetime, and he was truly unwilling to give up now.

More importantly, he was just a World Lord. No matter how strong he was, how strong could he really be? He himself was a dignified peak Immortal Military Lord, a terrifying existence only one step away from condensing an Undying Body and advancing to the rank of Marquis. Dealing with a mere World Lord—whether due to the pride of his royal bloodline or the confidence brought by his strength—he absolutely would not allow himself to fail!

"As expected of the Demon Race royal family, the Sky Wolf Clan's reputation for being thick-skinned is truly not just for show. This suits me perfectly!" Qin Cang thought to himself, gaining a clearer understanding of these Demon Race royals. The Sky Wolf Clan was born with a 6x life gene level, equivalent to an adult Yan God Clan member. Furthermore, the Sky Wolf Clan was famous for being durable. In his memories, that Lord of Sky Wolves was also famous throughout the universe for his survival skills; aside from the Sky Wolf Palace, that likely had a lot to do with his durable divine body.

"Little wolf, your strength is not bad. You are qualified to witness my true power."

Facing this Sky Wolf, Qin Cang prepared to use some real skills. If he kept using Shattered Shadow, he feared he wouldn't be able to take him down today. If he used his spear technique, this Sky Wolf would undoubtedly die!

But this Sky Wolf's strength had not yet reached the point where he needed to use his spear technique, so he would have to use the Seven Kills of Burning Sky.

Shattered Shadow itself was extremely rudimentary, and Qin Cang had spent a hundred years perfecting it to achieve its current power.

However, the Seven Kills of Burning Sky was different. It was a claw technique created based on the Path of the Beast God, and its creator was stronger, giving it a higher ceiling.

Over the past hundred years, Qin Cang had attempted to fuse Shattered Shadow with Black Hole Evolution, and even tried to integrate the Beast God intent into it. Although he had gained something, the overall results were not significant.

The Seven Kills of Burning Sky, however, had a natural advantage in integrating the Beast God intent. It was a claw technique created from the Path of Fire and Space, already containing a rich Beast God intent. By building on this and integrating the true meaning of Black Hole Evolution, it had taken him a hundred years to obtain this new Seven Kills of Burning Sky. It was the most complete and powerful claw technique Qin Cang currently possessed, and it would be more than enough to deal with this Sky Wolf today.

As Qin Cang swung his Blazing Flame Claws, endless golden-red flames ignited out of thin air. The flames slowly took the shape of a giant exotic beast, looking somewhat similar to a flood dragon. If a knowledgeable powerhouse were present, they would surely recognize this as the appearance of the Fire Beast God!

The flood dragon-like beast slowly raised its right claw, and the scorching flame light instantly tore through the endless void. Space itself seemed unable to withstand the terrifying high temperature, cracking open inch by inch. Under that single claw, waves of flame and spatial rifts surged toward the massive gray Sky Wolf, threatening to evaporate everything in their path!

"Run!"

Seeing this scene, Skolls the Sky Wolf did not hesitate for a second. This was no World Lord; this was clearly an Immortal God disguised as a World Lord! Under this strike, he would definitely be injured, and if it happened a few more times, he might just lose his life here today.

He no longer cared about the true identity of the World Lord before him; escaping was more important than anything else. As long as he escaped, there would be plenty of opportunities to take revenge in the future.

"Can you escape?"

Qin Cang had no intention of letting this Demon Race Sky Wolf go. Whether it was the fact that he had killed so many soldiers of the Human Race faction, the treasures on his body, or the Military Merit he would receive after slaying this Sky Wolf, none of it allowed him to let him leave. Today, no matter what, this Sky Wolf had to die, even if it meant exposing some of his trump cards!

Moreover, this strike had already locked onto the gray Sky Wolf; even if he wanted to run, it was too late.

"Boom!"

To Qin Cang's surprise, Skolls knew he couldn't dodge this strike and chose to take this "Beast God Blazing Flame" head-on.

The Sky Wolf Clan was truly worthy of their reputation for being thick-skinned in the universe. Under this strike, although Skolls' divine body shattered instantly, it quickly reassembled itself.

"Fortunately, I learned the defensive secret technique inherited from my clan, which allowed me to minimize the damage. If I had taken it head-on, this blow might have damaged my divine body by over 10%. Where did this World Lord come from? His strength is terrifying!" After his divine body reassembled, he fled toward the distance regardless of everything else.

"To kill him, I can only slowly shatter his immortal body completely," Qin Cang thought to himself. An Immortal God was indeed hard to kill.

"Even after learning the defensive secret technique, this strike still cost me 3% of my divine body. If he hits me a few more times, my life will be forfeit here!" After this blow, Skolls knew he had kicked an iron plate today, and his determination to escape grew even firmer.

"Human World Lord, as long as you let me leave, all my treasures can be yours." Skolls transmitted his voice to Qin Cang while rushing toward the distance. Even if this human World Lord's law comprehension was heaven-defying, he was ultimately not an Immortal, so his speed shouldn't be up to par. This was his advantage; as long as he slowly pulled away, he would be safe.

"Too much nonsense. If I kill you, all your treasures will be mine anyway. Besides, your life is worth quite a bit of Military Merit. By all accounts, you should die at my hands. Take this!" Qin Cang had no intention of wasting words. He pursued the Sky Wolf directly, his second move already prepared, waiting for an opportunity to intercept him at any moment.

Hearing this, the Sky Wolf knew that today he either had to escape or fight for his life. He stopped talking and prepared to forcibly block Qin Cang to find an opportunity to flee.

However, this move gave Qin Cang the opening he needed.

"Burning Sky Shattering Heaven!"

Qin Cang's second claw arrived as expected, even more overbearing than the first, with more terrifying lethality and greater speed!

Under the second claw, the Beast God phantom seemed intent on trampling Heaven and Earth, the flames seemed intent on igniting the Sky Wolf's immortal divine body, and the power of space permeated the area. Deep within that space, a massive black hole bore down on the Sky Wolf with incomparable force.

If the first claw technique focused on sharpness, seeking to slice the divine body in one strike, then this second claw sought to crush everything in one blow!
