The Golden Wolf King finally broke free of Zhang Junbao's Spacetime Cage. On one hand, for King-level Immortal like the Golden Wolf King, he had already grasped most of the Space Law. Even if he hadn't focused on comprehending the Time Law, he had still dabbled in them, so breaking free of the Spacetime Cage was only a matter of time. On the other hand, the battle between Zhang Junbao and other Marquis Immortal had impacted the surrounding spacetime, accelerating the Golden Wolf King's speed in breaking free of the Spacetime Cage.
But when the Golden Wolf King reappeared on the battlefield, he was dumbfounded.
Where are my men?
Twenty Marquis Immortal vanished without a trace in just a few dozen seconds? Even if you were killing twenty chickens, you'd at least bleed them and pluck their feathers, right?
Moreover, these are twenty Marquis Immortal; with such strength, few on the entire Sand Halberd Island would dare to provoke them.
If it weren't for sensing the faint aura of the Armored Marquis at the last moment, the Golden Wolf King would never have imagined that all of this was Zhang Junbao's doing.
Wasn't it another King-level Immortal who had ambushed them here?
When the Cloud-Touching Vine is eating, it doesn't care who's around. As far as it's concerned, as long as Zhang Junbao doesn't give it any orders, nothing else matters but its food.
Even if the Golden Wolf King comes, so what? He won't be able to snatch the Armored Marquis from it. The Life Core of the Cloud-Touching Vine is protected by Zhang Junbao. As long as Zhang Junbao is alive, it will be fine.
Even if the main vine is destroyed, thanks to the Auxiliary Lifeform properties of the Cloud-Touching Vine, it can quickly recover as long as there is enough life energy. This is far superior to that of the human World Lord. Cloud-Touching Vine usually eats life-enriching cosmic treasures like the Fruit of Life Fruit as snacks. The World Ring Zhang Junbao gave it contains a whole world full of various treasures that enhance life force.
Humans, World Lord Flesh-and-Blood Lifeform, dare not directly swallow large amounts of treasures containing life force. However, the Cloud-Touching Vine, as a plant life form, is countless times larger than an ordinary person. Each of its 360 main vines is over 100,000 kilometers long, and it can quickly digest even the largest amount of life force.
And so, right in front of the Golden Wolf King, Cloud-Touching Vine swallowed Armored Marquis whole. Even Armored Marquis, known for his defense, could only fall helplessly in the face of Cloud-Touching Vine's endless onslaught, leaving behind only his massive back armor.
Zhang Junbao ignored the Armored Marquis who had been swallowed by the Cloud-Touching Vine, and instead focused his gaze on the Golden Wolf King behind him.
At this moment, the Golden Wolf King's golden fur bristled, its emerald green eyes were filled with bloodshot veins like spider webs, and its protruding, dagger-like teeth were exposed, with corrosive saliva dripping from them, scalding the surrounding space with a sizzling sound.
"No one has ever dared to mock me, the Golden Wolf King, like this! I am one of the noblest bloodlines of the Demon Race, yet I have been mocked by a mere human World Lord like this! This is absolutely unforgivable!" The Golden Wolf King's eyes were filled with rage, and visible fury surged from his body, swirling around the golden giant wolf's body like a messenger from hell.
When Demon Race operate in Outer Domain Battlefield, they typically transform into animal-headed, human-bodied forms for ease of movement. Demon Race can easily reach hundreds of meters or even kilometers in size, so building high-level spaceships based on their original forms would likely cost hundreds of times more.
They only reveal their true forms when they are truly in combat.
At this moment, the Golden Wolf King Golden Wolf King completely enraged by Zhang Junbao. He had led his team to kill Zhang Junbao simply to eliminate some potential threats while exploring the Central Star Core. A group of Marquis Immortal and even King Rank joining forces to kill a human World Lord? If word got out, how could they face each other on the Outer Domain Battlefield?
Unexpectedly, this seemingly insignificant operation led to the complete annihilation of the Alien Race Immortal under the Golden Wolf King's command.
First, the spaceship was discovered by Zhang Junbao in advance and was completely blasted into pieces by a single shot from the Void Whale Spaceship. Then, just as they were about to retaliate, even the Golden Wolf King, who was King-level Immortal, was trapped in place by Zhang Junbao's ' Spacetime Cage '.
Having finally managed to break through the spacetime barrier during the instability of the Spacetime Cage, he was astonished to find Zhang Junbao, a World Lord, chasing after his subordinates, who were already at the level of Marquis Immortal.
In just thirty seconds, the mighty Demon Race genius Golden Wolf King was reduced to a lone commander!
Although the Golden Wolf King's roar was awe-inspiring, it did not frighten the Cloud-Touching Vine. In fact, as a plant life form, the Cloud-Touching Vine had no idea what fear was.
In its eyes, there was only the difference between what it could eat now and what it could eat later. Clearly, it had already set its sights on the Golden Wolf King's wolf meat.
Amidst the Golden Wolf King's furious roar, the Cloud-Touching Vine had completely devoured the Armored Marquis. In an instant, the Cloud-Touching Vine's 360 main vines enveloped the space around the Golden Wolf King Golden Wolf King, and countless tendrils converged towards him, forming a giant cocoon of vines.
"Plant life forms capable of killing Marquis are indeed troublesome, but do you think that's enough to deal with King-level Immortal?"
"You mere World Lord Level auxiliary plant, the Cloud -Cloud-Touching Vine, dare to offend the majesty of King-level Immortal? Get out of here!"
The Golden Wolf King's disdainful voice came from the vine cocoon, followed by six Golden Light flashes. In an instant, the vines, which had a diameter of hundreds of thousands of kilometers, turned into endless fragments.
The surrounding space trembled, torn apart by the six golden slashes, revealing the infinite spacetime turbulence behind the spatial rifts.
boom
The massive main vine of the Cloud-Touching Vine collapsed with a crash. Although the Cloud-Touching Vine could not make a sound, Zhang Junbao heard Cloud-Touching Vine angry roar echoing in his mind.
He hit my master!
The Cloud-Touching Vine, capable of besieging and killing even the most Marquis Immortal vines, was as fragile as tofu under the attack of the Golden Wolf King's claws. The Cloud-Touching Vine is a rare and unique plant life form in the universe; even the most ordinary World Lord Level Cloud-Touching Vine can possess a lifespan ten times that of a human World Lord.
Zhang Junbao's vine was a top-tier Cloud-Touching Vine, cultivated with countless resources. Even World Lord Level cultivator could trap and kill Marquis Immortal, comparable to a top human genius.
However, facing the top bloodline of the Demon Race, and the Golden Wolf King who was King-level Immortal, Cloud-Touching Vine still found it difficult to gain the upper hand.
"Buzz"
As if enraged, the remaining vines of the Cloud-Touching Vine in the void trembled together, like a Starry Sky Behemoth roaring. The main vine, which had been torn apart by the Golden Wolf King, instantly recovered and even devoured the fragments of the previous main vine, becoming even more resilient.
The Golden Wolf King emerged from the encirclement of the Cloud-Touching Vine, a cold smile still playing on his lips, but the next moment, his smile froze.
Snap!
The surrounding void trembled, and a vine with one side resembling tender green leaves and the other like withered vines strangely tore through space and time, striking him at an alarming speed.
"The power unleashed by this vine has actually reached the King Level, and the power of Law contained within it is so strange!" The Golden Wolf King was horrified, and the golden fur on its body instantly emitted endless light, enveloping the Golden Wolf King.
Although he was High-level King Rank, he dared not directly withstand Cloud-Touching Vine's attack.
"Boom"
The attack range of the Cloud-Touching Vine was too wide; the Golden Wolf King had no time to dodge and was sent flying millions of kilometers away.
Zhang Junbao's cultivation of the Cloud-Touching Vine wasn't simply a matter of letting it endlessly devour everything. Even a man with an iron will like Luo Feng was worn down by Zhang Junbao's training; how could the Cloud-Touching Vine, as Zhang Junbao's supporting plant life form, possibly have a leisurely life?
As a vine, the most common attack method of the Cloud-Touching Vine is to entangle and surround the enemy, or to use the main vine to whip the enemy. However, when facing an enemy stronger than itself, such simple attacks are very difficult to be effective.
The whipping of vines is actually a typical application of the principle of combining softness and strength in True Meaning of Taiji. The soft transformation is continuously accelerated, and the power accumulated at the end of the whip is released in an instant, which is extremely fierce.
Some elderly men on Earth enjoy whipping the air to create a 'crack crack crack' sound. An ordinary whip, when lightly wielded by an elderly man nearing seventy, can easily break the speed of sound and unleash a terrifying sonic boom.
Some people who practice regularly are even able to use the explosive power of a whip to easily shatter steel plates several millimeters thick.
How could Zhang Junbao, who created the True Meaning of Taiji, not know this principle? Therefore, in his daily practice, Cloud-Touching Vine practiced most by wielding his main vine and honing his own secret techniques through the transformation of hardness and softness.
This secret technique is extremely suitable for the life of vine-like plants like the Cloud-Touching Vine. By wielding its main vine, it can unleash terrifying power far exceeding that of Strangulation.
Moreover, the Cloud-Touching Vine had just struck, and Zhang Junbao had also infused it with the " Withering and Flourishing of Wood " secret technique. The combination of the Law of Wood and the Time Law, although not yet reaching the point of Law fusion, already had a hint of transcending life and death.
The Golden Wolf King was flung millions of kilometers away by the Cloud-Touching Vine, crashing into countless meteorite continents in the void and tumbling continuously. Finally, it managed to stop by relying on the terrifying power of its wolf claws to deeply grip space and tear several deep spatial rifts in the void.
The Golden Wolf King, who had just stood up, looked at Zhang Junbao and the Cloud-Touching Vine beside him, still feeling lingering fear.
The power of just one main vine of the Cloud-Touching Vine and one whip was enough to penetrate his armor and annihilate one percent of his divine body!
Don't underestimate one percent; in fact, as King-level Immortal, one percent of the Golden Wolf King's Immortal Divine Power is terrifying.
Even if ten Marquis Immortal are killed, it usually won't consume even one percent of the Golden Wolf King's Immortal Divine Body.
The attack of the Cloud-Touching Vine not only contained terrifying power, but more importantly, it was Zhang Junbao's ' Withering and Flourishing of Wood ' secret technique that eroded the Golden Wolf King's Immortal Divine Power like maggots clinging to bone. This power of life and death, which contained the Time Law, seemed to be able to accelerate time, causing the Golden Wolf King's originally Immortal Divine Power to decline.
Keep in mind that this was just a normal attack from the Cloud-Touching Vine. If each of the 360 main vines of the Cloud-Touching Vine were to strike once, the Golden Wolf King would be whipped to death!
Unbeknownst to him, the secret technique of the Cloud-Touching Vine was extremely difficult to master. Even with Zhang Junbao's guidance, the Cloud-Touching Vine could only control one main vine to unleash an attack at the King Rank- level. If all 360 main vines could be made to unleash King Level power, the Cloud-Touching Vine would be able to fight even against Peak King.
Just as the Golden Wolf King stopped to catch his breath, the Cloud-Touching Vine attacked again.
At this moment, Cloud-Touching Vine was extremely angry. He wanted to avenge the Golden Wolf King for tearing his main vine apart earlier!
The Cloud-Touching Vine regenerated 360 main vines to attack together. Although the other main vines could not exert the power of King Level being like the main vine with the ' Withering and Flourishing of Wood ', the Golden Wolf King was unaware of this.
At this moment, Cloud-Touching Vine did not forget Zhang Junbao's usual guidance, and he put the principle of making the illusory real and the real illusory into practice to the fullest extent.
The Golden Wolf King mustered all his divine Divine Power to withstand another attack, only to find that this attack was much weaker than the previous one, reaching the level of High-level Marquis.
Before the Golden Wolf King could react, countless main vines lashed out at him, but the Golden Wolf King remained unmoved.
"Hahaha... It seems you can't use that attack frequently either. You're only World Lord Level, yet you can coordinate with plant life to launch an attack comparable to a high-level King Rank. You're indeed not simple."
However, the majesty of King Rank expert is not something you can offend!
The Golden Wolf King could naturally see that the attack that had just sent him flying was the result of a combination of Zhang Junbao's secret technique and the Cloud-Touching Vine.
However, the Cloud-Touching Vine could no longer exert the same power. The attacks from the other main vines struck the Golden Wolf King, but they couldn't even break through the defense of the golden fur on his body. It was like tickling him.
Despite the attacks from the Cloud-Touching Vine, the Golden Wolf King continued to approach, his eyes gleaming with ferocity. He intended to tear this human World Lord, and his plant life, the Cloud-Touching Vine, to shreds.
clang!
clang!
clang!
Cloud-Touching Vine's normal attacks struck the Golden Wolf King, producing a deafening sound, but they couldn't even break through its defenses.
With the deadly threat gone, the Golden Wolf King felt he was back to normal.
"Snort!"
With a casual swipe of its paw, the Golden Wolf King shattered one of the main vines of the Cloud-Touching Vine into pieces. Its speed wasn't fast, but it was extremely threatening.
The attacks of the Cloud-Touching Vine grew faster and faster, but it was still unable to break through the Golden Wolf King's defenses.
At this moment, the Golden Wolf King seemed like Wargod descending upon the land.
Zhang Junbao and Cloud-Touching Vine were nothing more than tiny insects hopping around in front of him; he could crush them with a mere touch. The Golden Wolf King thoroughly enjoyed watching his prey struggle before its death.
He could even see the look of terror on Zhang Junbao's face.
And the smile at the corner of his mouth.
Smile?
Why can that human World Lord still laugh now? Shouldn't he be afraid?
The attacks of the Cloud-Touching Vine could not break through his defenses. Zhang Junbao, as the master, remained unmoved and was even so frightened that he forgot to run away. This is the normal reaction of World Lord Level when he sees King-level Immortal!
Suddenly, the Golden Wolf King felt a tremendous force strike him. He originally intended to tear the main vine of the Cloud-Touching Vine apart as he had done before, but by the time his wolf claws collided with the vine, it was already too late.
The power of the Withering and Flourishing of Wood continuously eroded the golden fur of the Golden Wolf King, and the immense force of the main vine of the Cloud-Touching Vine directly blasted one of his front paws into bloody foam.
If the Golden Wolf King hadn't woken up at the last moment and sacrificed one of his front paws to preserve his divine body, this attack would likely have ripped his body in two and annihilated most of his Immortal Divine Power.
"Puff"
Even so, the Golden Wolf King was still flung millions of kilometers away by the Cloud-Touching Vine, just like a tattered sack.
This time, he didn't stop by tearing through space on his own; instead, he crashed through countless continents before finally coming to a stop.
At this moment, the Golden Wolf King was in a very sorry state, his aura was weakened, and the attack from the Cloud-Touching Vine had forcibly destroyed nearly a quarter of his divine body.
How terrifying!
"Why? You could have continued using the previous secret technique, so why did you have to lie to me?" The Golden Wolf King's roar traveled millions of kilometers to reach Zhang Junbao's ears.
"All's fair in war, haven't you heard? I told you to study more, but you wouldn't listen. Is it my fault?" Zhang Junbao laughed.
"If you keep focusing on defense, even if I and Cloud-Touching Vine work together, it will be very difficult to annihilate your divine body. Only by making you lower your guard can we achieve a surprise effect."
By the way, this tactic was suggested by Cloud-Touching Vine.
Zhang Junbao's voice sounded particularly grating to the Golden Wolf King's ears.
He was completely crushed; he was utterly outmatched in both strength and intelligence!
The proud Golden Wolf King, a pinnacle of the Demon Race race, a genius of the great Heavenly Wolf Clan known for his cunning and treachery, and a descendant of the Lord of Sky Wolf, was mercilessly mocked during the battle!
More importantly, he wasn't crushed by Zhang Junbao, but by the intelligence of Cloud-Touching Vine, an auxiliary plant life form that is recognized throughout the universe as having imperfect intelligence!
Every leaf of the Cloud-Touching Vine was trembling incessantly, making a crackling sound, as if it were Extreme Point excited.
Just now, relying on its limited intelligence and remembering its master Zhang Junbao's teachings, it devised a tactic that combined feints and real attacks, concealing the true strike within other ordinary attacks, which earned Zhang Junbao's approval.
More importantly, the Cloud-Touching Vine, as a plant life form, successfully deceived the Heavenly Wolf Clan's King-level Immortal, who considered himself exceptionally intelligent and cunning.
The most deadly thing is when an honest person lies, Cloud-Touching Vine fully proves this point.
It's important to understand that in the universe, auxiliary plant life forms like the Cloud-Touching Vine aren't even considered true life forms. Even in a human holy land like Chaos City, the Cloud-Touching Vine is treated as a tool, like armor and weapons, rather than an independent life form, and doesn't even qualify for a spot.
In other words, the life-supporting plant, the 'Cloud-Touching Vine,' is like a freebie, a complimentary gift; you don't even need to buy a ticket.
The Golden Wolf King felt the mockery from the Cloud-Touching Vine, his intelligence being thoroughly humiliated by Cloud-Touching Vine. It was precisely because the Cloud-Touching Vine had disguised a large number of ordinary attacks that failed to break through his defenses that the Golden Wolf King lowered his guard, believing that the attack just now was the only one that Zhang Junbao and the Cloud-Touching Vine could unleash.
Who could have imagined that two mere World Lord Level —one human World Lord and one auxiliary plant life form—could unleash attacks comparable to those of King-level Immortal?
Damn it! You all deserve to die!
"Humans, Cloud-Touching Vine, all of you, die!"
