The pitch-black cave, protected by the special restrictions of the Cloud-Splitting Wolf, was like an inkstone filled with thick ink, making it difficult to discern directions. Even with Xiao Yan's keen eyesight, he felt completely lost in the darkness.
With a thought, the Heavenly Flames within his body surged forth, its towering flames illuminating an area of nearly a hundred feet within the Cloud-Splitting Wolf Cave as if it were daytime.
The cave is filled with countless interconnected passageways. Long deprived of sunlight, the cave is damp, and water droplets drip from the ceiling, their movement slowed by the dense space.
Xiao Yan frowned slightly, surprised by the strength of the restriction. The Cloud-Splitting Wolf was truly remarkable. If he were to fight it in its cave, he would probably be defeated in less than a hundred moves!
There was no time to think. Once inside, the time allotted to Xiao Yan would officially begin its countdown. Luo Jin outside would not be able to hold out for long. Even with his extraordinary abilities, he would be helpless against the absolute power of the Cloud-Splitting Wolf.
With a flick of his finger, dozens of thumb-sized fireballs shot out instantly. Although the fireballs were small, Heavenly Flames power was not to be underestimated. In an instant, the pool of water next to Xiao Yan turned into cracked and scattered rocks.
The fireball, carrying a wisp of Xiao Yan's Soul Power, flew inwards along the cave, scorching and cracking the hard rocky ground wherever it passed, its aura terrifying.
As the fireball flew out, Xiao Yan couldn't relax either. He moved swiftly and flew towards a cave passage without the fireball.
During the flight, Xiao Yan used his Soul Power to explore his surroundings, while inwardly smiling and saying:
"What, you've finally woken up after sleeping for so long?"
Xiao Yan's words were naturally directed at Huo Yi. After several months, Huo Yi's injuries had finally fully recovered, and Luo Jin's earlier actions had completely awakened her from her slumber.
During their conversation, Xiao Yan told Huo Yi about Luo Jin. Upon hearing Xiao Yan's words, Huo Yi felt more grateful for Luo Jin's previous actions.
For Huo Yi, Xiao Yan was his closest person; Xiao Yan was the one who shaped him. Since Xiao Yan had a high opinion of Luo Jin, he naturally had to follow Xiao Yan's lead.
During their conversation, Xiao Yan ventured deeper and deeper into the cave of the Cloud-Splitting Wolf.
The deeper Xiao Yan Xiao Yan, the more chill he felt. In just a moment, of the dozens of fireballs imbued with his Soul Power, only two remained that he could still Xiao Yan; the others had long since dissipated into the cave.
Outside, Luo Jin and Yun Lang were locked in a fierce battle, but despite this, Luo Jin was clearly at a disadvantage.
Even with his strength as Four-Star Half-Emperor, he could only provide support for two hours in his battle against Yun Lang. However, Xiao Yan was still searching and searching in Yun Lang's cave, which meant it would take quite some time. This made Luo Jin somewhat worried.
If things continue like this, I'll be dead before Xiao Yan even comes out, and then Xiao Yan will probably be doomed too.
Their thoughts raced, but ultimately they were helpless; Yun Lang's strength was truly beyond their ability to contend with.
"Hey! What's wrong? Can't hold on any longer? Where's your partner? Tell him to come out. If the two of you are together, maybe you can keep going a little longer. But if it's just you alone, I'm afraid this is the only way!"
Before Luo Jin could catch his breath, Yun Lang, a hundred feet away, let out a mocking laugh and spoke in a cold tone.
Upon hearing this, Luo Jin 'Luo Jin pale face suddenly turned cold. He let out a heavy snort, and with a flick of his wrist, a strange star chart the size of a palm appeared in his hand.
The astrolabe appears ordinary, but it is engraved with mysterious patterns. In the center of the astrolabe is a pattern that resembles the Big Dipper, with a faint, luminous light that appears and disappears, making the entire astrolabe even more magical.
With a sudden surge of Dou Qi, Luo Jin appeared beside Yun Lang in a flash. His Dou Qi gathered in his palm, and with a roar in his heart, he slammed the star disc in his hand towards Yun Lang.
Upon seeing this, Yun Lang's expression shifted slightly. He hadn't expected Luo Jin to be able to unleash such speed even under these circumstances. Both of these people who came were extremely skilled, and if they weren't dealt with properly, they might be caught off guard and suffer a setback!
With these thoughts in mind, Yun Lang ignored the star chart in Luo Jin's hand. By the time he realized it, Luo Jin had already appeared to the side, unleashing a fierce and domineering Dou Technique along with the star chart.
Although Yun Lang wanted to dodge, Luo Jin's attack was already upon him, leaving Yun Lang no time to do anything. He instinctively slammed his palm against the star chart in Luo Jin's palm.
Although it was just a casual strike, Yun Lang's strength was far superior to Luo Jin's. With a single palm strike, the heavens and earth trembled and the void shattered, turning the space in its path into a vacuum.
The biting wind blew Luo Jin's clothes so tightly they clung to his body, and the powerful force made his skin sting.
Upon Luo Jin dared not be careless in the slightest. He unleashed all his Dou Qi, and the power of his palm Dou Technique was overwhelming and boundless.
"Boom!"
Suddenly, the space where the two stood was transformed into Endless Void, the cold sunlight vanished instantly, and only endless darkness remained.
The battle between the two had already entered the void, and this vast world was no longer able to withstand their fierce collision.
The real clash has only just begun!
Suddenly, a wave of extremely domineering Dou Qi aura swept out from the endless void.
Luo Jin's slender body was blasted backward by this wave of energy, blood gushing from his mouth as if it were free. Several of his ribs were broken by the energy, his clothes were torn to shreds, and his aura was extremely weak. The full power of Eight-Star Half-Emperor was indeed something he could not withstand by force!
"Roar!"
A deafening wolf howl suddenly emanated from the center of the shockwave, instantly snapping Luo Jin, who was already feeling weak, back to his senses.
The muscles at the corners of his eyes twitched incessantly, and the severe injuries inside his body caused him unbearable pain. However, after forcibly suppressing the waves of intense pain emanating from his body, a relaxed smile appeared on Luo Jin's pale, paper-like face.
The howl of wolves, carrying boundless rage, echoed across the sky, even shaking the solid earth.
Inside the Cloud-Splitting Wolf's cave, Xiao Yan stopped and looked up at the dome with a slight frown. Just now, the Cloud-Splitting Wolf's cave had shaken slightly, which made Xiao Yan worry about Luo Jin's current situation.
" Elder Gu, could you please assess Luo Jin's current situation?"
Since their strength was limited, they could only ask Gu You for help with the investigation.
Gu You chuckled upon hearing this, teasing Xiao Yan with a hint of sarcasm in his voice:
" Xiao Yan, do you really want me to help you investigate the situation of that little guy outside?"
"Um?"
Raising an eyebrow, Xiao Yan's eyes darted around, a slight doubt lingering in his mind regarding the meaning behind Gu You's words.
After a long while yielding no results, Xiao Yan had no choice but to address the immediate problem. With a thought, Gu You received Xiao Yan's answer.
"Hehe, not bad, that kid's stuff is pretty good. Although it's a bit unrealistic to think he could defeat the Cloud-Splitting Wolf head-on, it's good enough."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Yan was about to press further, but Gu You changed the subject and said to Xiao Yan:
"I advise you to hurry. The little guy is doing alright for now, but if you keep delaying like this, the outcome might really be different."
Xiao Yan's expression changed, and he stopped asking questions. With a swift movement, he disappeared from his spot and flew rapidly into the cave.
Luo Jin glanced at the Cloud-Splitting Wolf's cave and frowned slightly. Those two items didn't seem to be easy to find!
"Roar! You cowards, how dare you act so recklessly! Don't think that having this Taiyi Star Disk will allow you to suppress me here. Once I break this Star Disk Grand Formation, you will be the first one I kill!"
Suddenly, Yun Lang's hoarse roar, filled with endless savage killing intent, entered Luo Jin's ears, causing Luo Jin's expression to change again after he had just calmed down.
The Taiyi Star Disk contains the Taiyi Seven Star Formation, specifically designed to suppress opponents' strength. Its power is formidable and should not be underestimated. However, the one in Luo Jin's hand is merely a replica used throughout the continent, making it clearly impossible to completely suppress the Cloud-Splitting Wolf.
With a long exhale, Luo Jin stood up from the ground, his figure flashing as he appeared outside the Star Disk Grand Formation, a resolute look on his face.
Seeing Luo Jin's unfathomable demeanor within the grand formation, Yun Lang couldn't help but let out a cold snort. He didn't believe that Luo Jin, in his current state of near-serious injury, could possibly have any means to deal with him.
But the next moment, Luo Jin Luo Jin slapped his own chest, opened his mouth wide, and a spurt of blood shot out, which he caught in his palm.
With a flick of his finger, blood slid from his fingertip, and after a few quick movements, a palm-sized Blood Talisman Seal appeared in the space in front of Luo Jin.
After doing all this, Luo Jin clasped his hands together, his fingers moving rapidly, creating a series of profound hand seals that merged with the blood-red rune.
After mastering the three hundred seals, Luo Jin finished his hand movements, having already formed over three hundred hand seals. The moment the last seal was formed, Luo Jin flipped his palm and merged it with the talisman.
Suddenly, the heavens and earth trembled, dark clouds appeared in the sky with lightning and thunder, and a strong wind rose within a hundred feet, scattering birds and beasts.
Looking at Luo Jin again, his tattered robes fluttered without wind, and his aura was as full as ever, even surpassing his peak.
At this moment, Luo Jin's strength is equivalent to that of Five-Star Half-Emperor!
But that wasn't all. Standing before the Yun Lang, Luo Jin changed his hand seals again. This time, the power of the seals was so great that each hand seal caused ripples like soft water to spread out in the space. It was clear at a glance that Luo Jin's next move was extraordinary!
