"Awoo"
The Golden Wolf King Golden Wolf King to the sky, and a visible spatial fluctuation erupted from its forepaws, tearing through the sky and cleaving the entire void in two.
"I didn't want to use this treasure, but you have completely enraged me!"
A fierce glint appeared in the eyes of the Golden Wolf King, and its body began to shrink slowly. Its hind legs straightened, and the giant golden wolf, which had been on all fours, stood upright, as if it had transformed into a half-orc.
The Golden Wolf King looked at his body, which had shrunk to less than ten meters. Although it was much smaller than his original Immortal Divine Body, it was still tall compared to Zhang Junbao was about 1.9 meters tall.
Although Immortal God can freely change the size of their divine bodies, they generally don't do so. Expanding their bodies too much or shrinking them too much would severely affect their power. Therefore, Immortal God generally don't intentionally change the size of their divine bodies to display their majesty.
The Golden Wolf King must have had a deeper meaning in doing this.
Sure enough, after the Golden Wolf King transformed into his beastman form, Zhang Junbao sensed his ever-increasing aura, clearly approaching the Peak King.
"Is this the treasure the Golden Wolf King obtained in the Central Star Core? Indeed, the change is even more terrifying than that of the Nine Dragons Marquis. Even High King Immortal God can rapidly increase their strength, and the Golden Wolf King's increase in power is clearly far more terrifying than that of the Nine Dragons Marquis."
Zhang Junbao frowned slightly. The aura unleashed by the Golden Wolf King was already close to the Peak King, and with a casual wave of his hand, it caused strong fluctuations in the surrounding space.
" Taiji World Lord, you killed the Nine Dragons Marquis, so you must know that he obtained some treasures with me on the Central Star Core. If that's the case, why do you still dare to provoke me? I don't know whether to call you blindly arrogant or foolishly ignorant?"
The current Golden Wolf King is completely different from before, not only in terms of his aura, but also in the fact that this improvement is not a superficial increase in strength like burning Immortal Divine Power. Instead, it is more like a surge in strength brought about by a true breakthrough in realm.
"I'm very curious, what exactly did you obtain in the Central Star Core? The Nine Dragons Marquis suddenly possessed a time-manipulation technique that didn't originally belong to him, and you, Golden Wolf King, also greatly increased your strength because of it. As far as I know, there doesn't seem to be a treasure of this type in the universe."
Zhang Junbao's words were not unfounded. Having entrusted the Nine Dragons Marquis to the Virtual Universe Company for so long, the Virtual Universe Company's technology should have been able to thoroughly investigate even the Nine Dragons Marquis's ancestors for eighteen generations. However, they were unable to figure out how Yang's treasure had given the Nine Dragons Marquis such an unexpected Innate Secret Technique.
This is what surprised Zhang Junbao the most. The Virtual Universe Company, which possesses the Virtual Universe Network, can be said to be the most technologically powerful force in the Original Universe. Even the Machine Race cannot compare with the Virtual Universe Company. Yet, even so, they still cannot figure out the secret of the Nine Dragons Marquis's Innate Secret Technique. The secrets involved are probably not simple.
The Chaos City Lord also issued a mission, ordering some powerful humans to go to the Central Star Core to investigate, but still no results were found.
Zhang Junbao would definitely go to the Central Star Core on his own. Now that he's encountered the Golden Wolf King returning from retrieving treasures from the Central Star Core, how could Zhang Junbao just let this opportunity pass him by?
"Humans, the mysteries of the universe are beyond your comprehension, how could a mere World Lord like you possibly understand? If you wish to know the secrets of the Central Star Core, then go and seek them out yourself. But you have no chance. I will shatter all your bones, suppress your Internal World, and render you a cripple, hanging before my palace, wailing every day!"
The Golden Wolf King wasn't foolish enough to directly reveal the secrets of the Central Star Core to Zhang Junbao. He had gone through countless hardships to uncover even a small part of its secrets. This Shattered Star Ring had been formed after the Original Ancestor was suppressed and a great war broke out between humans and the Demon Race, the Machine Race, and the Zerg. Over billions of epochs, countless powerful figures had explored it, but only the Golden Wolf King had discovered the clues within.
For others trying to uncover its secrets, it won't be so easy.
Zhang Junbao asked casually. If he could get some secrets out of the Golden Wolf King, that would be great; if not, he would just have to give up. As long as he killed the Golden Wolf King, he would find out sooner or later.
The Golden Wolf King pressed forward relentlessly, and the Cloud-Touching Vine attacked again. This time, there was no probing; instead, it was a full-force strike. The main vine, imbued with the secret technique of ' Withering and Flourishing of Wood,' attacked just as it had previously sent the Golden Wolf King flying twice.
"Snort!"
The Golden Wolf King snorted coldly, his eyes filled with disdain. He simply extended his left hand, the wolf claw glowing faintly with golden light.
"Boom"
The Cloud-Touching Vine, which was originally capable of deflecting an attack from King Rank expert, failed this time.
The strongest attack from the main vine, which had a diameter of over a thousand kilometers, was actually caught by the Golden Wolf King with one hand. Furthermore, the time-manipulating power of Zhang Junbao's secret technique ' Withering and Flourishing of Wood ', which he had imbued into the main vine of the Cloud-Touching Vine, was unable to cause the Golden Wolf King any harm at this moment.
"First Space Sealing, then the Law of Wood, and now even the secret technique of the Time Law has been unleashed. Humanity has truly produced an extraordinary genius."
World Lord Level being possesses the ability to kill a support plant life form at the Peak Marquis, and this support plant, the Cloud-Touching Vine, is itself only at the World Lord Level.
To cultivate a Cloud-Touching Vine to this level, the resources required are definitely more than those needed to cultivate a true Peak Marquis Immortal.
Even the son of Venerable might not receive such treatment, having a plant that protects his life.
Such an extravagant investment of resources was the envy of even the Golden Wolf King, a genius among the Demon Race race. Even with his current resources, he would probably have to exhaust all his assets to cultivate the Cloud-Touching Vine to this level.
Compared to Zhang Junbao, Golden Wolf King is nothing but a pauper.
Thinking of this, the Golden Wolf King grew even angrier. A dignified Demon Race race genius, King-level Immortal, was actually inferior to a mere human World Lord Level genius?
"Die!"
The Golden Wolf King blocked the attack from the main vine of the Cloud-Touching Vine, then slashed downwards with its claws, tearing three cracks in the void. The usually invincible main vine of the Cloud-Touching Vine was actually broken inch by inch under the Golden Wolf King's attack, turning directly into countless fragments.
"Although the Marquis of Nine Dragons Marquis obtained a treasure that could enhance his time-related magic, he was originally Immortal who controlled the Law of Space Control and had no understanding of the Time Law, so his strength did not increase much. However, the Golden Wolf King seems to have obtained a treasure that matches his own Law attributes, and his strength has directly soared from the High King to nearly the Peak King, which is truly remarkable!"
Through the probing attacks of the Cloud-Touching Vine, Zhang Junbao had already analyzed the secret behind the Golden Wolf King's increased strength. The Golden Wolf King was originally King-level Immortal of the Gold-Space Void Law; if he were to add a treasure that could enhance his comprehension of the Gold-Space Law Comprehension, the magnitude of his increase in strength would be unimaginable.
After shattering the Cloud-Touching Vine, the Golden Wolf King did not let his guard down. His speed increased rapidly, and he disappeared from the spot.
Being tricked by Zhang Junbao twice is already an utter disgrace, and only Zhang Junbao's blood can wash away such a humiliation.
So far in the battle, he hasn't seen Zhang Junbao make a direct move. Could a human genius World Lord possessing such terrifying plant life be a complete incompetent fool?
The instant he saw the Golden Wolf King transform, Zhang Junbao had already set up the dual domains of World Projection and Zhou Heavenly Star Battle Formation around his body.
Although his combat power was comparable to that of King-level Immortal, and he had the protection of Heavy Treasure Armor, it did not mean that I could let my guard down.
The Golden Wolf King originally intended to use the speed unleashed by his Space Secret Technique to instantly kill Zhang Junbao. However, as he approached, he discovered a domain similar to the Space-Time Law that had previously imprisoned him.
After entering Zhang Junbao's World Projection range, the Golden Wolf King's speed immediately decreased significantly.
"This is a projection of World Lord's World Projection? How can it be so powerful that it even suppresses my Law Domain!"
The Golden Wolf King was utterly shocked. He had already given Zhang Junbao a high estimate, but it was clearly still insufficient.
The Zhou Heavenly Star Battle Formation is Supreme Treasure- grade Domain Type treasure. Although Zhang Junbao cannot unleash its full power, it does not mean he can break through to its limit.
The Golden Wolf King's body seemed to be trapped in an endless, viscous swamp; even as he continuously tore through the surrounding space, it was to no avail.
This is what makes Domain-type Supreme Treasure so terrifying. If there weren't other Domain Type treasures that restrained each other and competed for Space-Time Control, Zhang Junbao would forever have the advantage of Control of Space-Time.
Although the Golden Wolf King's control over the Space Law has greatly increased, it is still extremely difficult for him to break through the domain that is suppressed by both space and time.
"Damn the Taiji World Lord! Just how many treasures did the human higher-ups give him? We must kill him; only a man worthy of possessing such treasures."
The Law Domain of King Rank expert is extremely powerful, especially when combined with Immortal Divine Power. Ordinary Immortal Army Lord would be suppressed to the point of being unable to move when facing the Law of King Rank expert.
Golden Light rippled around the Golden Wolf King's body, spreading like golden waves—this was the world of the Law of Metal. However, faced with the dual suppression of Zhang Junbao's World Projection spanning a billion kilometers and the Domain-type Supreme Treasure, it even struggled to avoid being suppressed.
Therefore, if the Golden Wolf King wants to kill Zhang Junbao, he can only rush into his World Projection. Fighting in a place where his own Law Domain is suppressed is extremely disadvantageous.
However, the Golden Wolf King was also confident. Now that he possessed strength approaching the Peak King, how could he possibly be unable to deal with a mere Realm World Lord?
He was certain that Zhang Junbao possessed a treasure, or even Heavy Treasure, bestowed upon him by a high-ranking human being—a treasure of such caliber that even he himself did not possess.
As for the Supreme Treasure, the Golden Wolf King simply couldn't believe it; it was an unparalleled treasure that even a powerhouse at the Peak King Rank would find difficult to possess.
Even for Universe Venerable, possessing a Supreme Treasure is extremely difficult. Would the higher echelons of humanity bestow a Supreme Treasure upon a World Lord Level, even a top genius among humanity?
In reality, only a top-tier Universe Master like the Chaos City Lord could possess an unused Supreme Treasure to bestow upon his disciples or descendants; this was the Chaos City Lord's own treasure. It would be absolutely impossible for a Supreme Treasure to be bestowed upon a World Lord, no matter how talented, through a high-level human council.
Even for a Universe Venerable, a Supreme Treasure is a significant boost to combat power.
Thinking of the treasures on Zhang Junbao's body, even though the Golden Wolf King knew he would be suppressed by Zhang Junbao's World Projection, he was absolutely unwilling to give up.
In the Outer Domain Battlefield, for King Rank expert to obtain Heavy Treasure, both opportunity and strength are indispensable, and they also need to fight against other King Rank experts. Who would have thought that now, as long as Zhang Junbao is killed, the Heavy Treasure on his body will be theirs.
The Golden Wolf King shimmered with Golden Light, and each of his hairs resembled a golden thread. They appeared soft, yet as they rippled, they tore through the void, causing tiny spatial cracks to continuously appear around the Golden Wolf King's body.
At the same time, his wolf claws on his upper limbs seemed to be coated with a thin metallic film, becoming even sharper.
However, Zhang Junbao could tell that what was attached to the wolf's claws was clearly a G-class weapon, a claw blade imbued with the Law of Metal, making it extremely powerful.
Humans are accustomed to fighting with weapons such as War Blade and hammers, while Demon Race often use their innate advantages to engage in battle.
Therefore, the weapons of the Demon Race are not like the swords, spears, and clubs of humans, but are mostly attached to their claws and teeth.
As Sky Wolf Clan, the Golden Wolf King naturally wouldn't abandon its roots and fight with a War Blade like humans.
The Golden Wolf King plunged its claws into Zhang Junbao's World Projection, intending to use its immense power to forcefully kill him; its eyes were filled with greed and madness.
"Relying on your soaring strength, you think you can break through my World Projection and kill me?" Zhang Junbao's expression gradually turned cold. "Fine, then let's use you, Peak King, to test my methods!"
Time Makes People Grow Old!
From the moment the Golden Wolf King forcibly tore open the World Projection, Zhang Junbao knew that the Golden Wolf King would never let him go. Since the two were already mortal enemies, there was no need for further words.
The Space-Time Hunyuan Sword reappeared in Zhang Junbao's hands. Although it could no longer keep up with Zhang Junbao's increasing strength, it was the most suitable in terms of attributes.
"The foremost of humanity's Nine Great Divine Weapons? Hahaha... How dare you bring out such trash!"
Upon seeing the longsword in Zhang Junbao's hand, the Golden Wolf King grinned and sneered. Although the Space-Time Hunyuan Sword, when used to its fullest potential, could deal with Marquis Immortal, it was somewhat insufficient against King Rank experts.
It wasn't that Zhang Junbao was unwilling to change to other weapons, but rather that his attributes were very special, and there were too few treasures that matched his own Law and characteristics. Even ordinary Heavy Treasure were difficult for him to fully unleash his power.
For Zhang Junbao, attribute compatibility is more important than the level of the treasure.
Ignoring the Golden Wolf King's mockery, Zhang Junbao's eyes were filled with boundless sword intent, transforming into a moment in time. The sword in his hand seemed to be a piece of time itself.
Time flows like a river, never ceasing day or night.
Even the strongest individuals cannot stop the passage of time.
The Law of Light was the first fundamental Law Zhang Junbao came into contact with, and it is also a fundamental Law that is extremely compatible with the Time Law. The concept of time seems to flow like the unstoppable passage of years.
The Golden Wolf King's will was affected by the atmosphere, his eyes became glazed, and his movements even slowed down slightly. However, at this moment, he possessed the powerful strength of Peak King, and his will was extremely strong. He regained his senses in just a fraction of a second, but Zhang Junbao's sword was already right in front of him.
"Not good!"
The Golden Wolf King was shocked. His strength had been enhanced by using treasures, and he originally followed the Space Strangulation route within the Space Law, without mastering Teleportation.
Moreover, to Teleportation, one needs to sense spatial fluctuations, merge with that space, then sense fluctuations in another space, traverse that space, and complete the Teleportation.
But given the current situation, even if he had the time, he couldn't do it.
Zhang Junbao's longsword struck, and the spatial fluctuations around him were completely suppressed.
" Divine Power Burning!"
As a last resort, the Golden Wolf King's power surged wildly, instantly bringing him back to his senses. He retreated rapidly, raising his claws in the process.
Ten thousand miles away, the Golden Wolf King suddenly appeared, his face filled with terror.
"I clearly blocked it, how could this be?"
Looking at the dull and lifeless claws in his hand, the Golden Wolf King was incredulous.
"The fusion of time and space is inherently Law that defies the heavens. The secret method I deduced, combined with the inspiration of ' the Withering and Flourishing of Wood,' although not yet profound, has elevated the harmony between the Law of Light and Time Law to a new level."
The flow of time is beyond human control. Even the Universe Master can only Reverse Time and Space, not stop its passage.
Zhang Junbao explained, "The moment you are influenced by my artistic conception, your fate is already sealed!"
Bang...
The Golden Wolf King's body suddenly exploded, turning into countless specks of dust and dissipating.
Zhang Junbao's sword strike just now directly destroyed his divine body.
"Kindness?"
Zhang Junbao's relaxed mind suddenly became alert. He held the Space-Time Hunyuan Sword in front of him to block, and then his body retreated explosively.
Surprisingly, the Golden Wolf King's head was not destroyed in his fatal blow. Instead, a terrifying aura suddenly appeared beside the Golden Wolf King and attacked Zhang Junbao.
