Chapter 602: The Strongest of All Parties Gather!
The humanoid shadow had plunged completely into madness!
It had utilized the essence blood and residual souls from hundreds of millions of beings gathered through the catastrophic Dragon Country war!
This was a river of blood accumulated from the deaths of countless humans and exotic beasts, including powerful new species and even ancestral species!
Therefore, the energy contained within this river of blood surpassed the River of Spirituality Essence by a hundredfold, a thousandfold, even ten thousandfold!
With this vast quantity of blood coursing through, not only did the humanoid shadow's strength surge rapidly, but even the over-billion-strong Theological Alliance army, which had previously been kneeling in submission, experienced an explosive rise in power.
These forces of the Theological Alliance grew increasingly fearless in the face of death.
"Roar!"
The Theological Alliance army, primarily composed of humans, began emitting beast-like growls, their blood-red eyes gleaming as they abandoned their technology weapons and lunged bloodthirstily toward the wolf army around them!
"Awooo!"
"Screech!"
"Chirp!"
"Hiss!"
.....
Accompanied by the cries of the wolf army, this battle, which had just come to a halt and seemed to have ended, reignited with unprecedented ferocity!
A moment of rapid change!
This unprecedented war was one where the victor could not be determined until the final moment!
The humanoid shadow refused to admit defeat, with one trump card after another unveiled!
The shadow's desperate struggle, fueled by the vast river of blood, allowed its towering aura to rival even the Wolf Lord!
"Come, fight me!"
A resounding cry reverberated across heaven and earth!
Su Lin gazed at the humanoid shadow ahead of him, an enormous blood-colored giant over ten thousand meters tall. A dangerous glint flickered in Su Lin's wolf eyes, which narrowed slightly.
Indeed,
The humanoid shadow was correct in its earlier claim!
Su Lin had delayed his emergence until now, waiting for all the forces to be deeply entrenched in life-and-death struggles within Dragon Country, unable to extricate themselves. Only then could he lead his elite wolf pack to swallow all factions whole.
He sought to cripple all the forces participating in this war in one decisive battle!
In doing so, he would smooth the path for the wolf pack to unify and dominate the world.
What did it matter if the humanoid shadow had seen through his strategy?
As the humanoid shadow had pointed out, there were no innocents left in this world!
Did the Hundred Beasts Alliance, the Evil Mandala, the humans of Dragon Country—any faction—ever stand without their own schemes?
Hadn't every one of them once intended to use Dragon Country as a tomb for the Wolf Pack Civilization, to utterly bury it?
Even Su Lin himself hadn't anticipated the humanoid shadow would still have tricks up its sleeve at this stage of the battle!
Now, the battle intent and killing intent burned fiercely in Su Lin's wolf eyes, his overwhelming qi yan soaring to even greater heights!
"Come! Let's battle in the heavens!"
Su Lin's immense spiritual will swept across heaven and earth as he shot upward into the sky!
The humanoid shadow, now fully saturated with the bloodthirsty aura of the vast river of blood, hesitated not a moment before charging directly at Su Lin!
As they ascended to millions of meters, nearing the very edge of Earth's atmosphere, their fierce showdown officially began.
The humanoid shadow's strength had just barely matched that of the Godspeed Golden Eagle!
To put it bluntly, Su Lin could subdue it with a single hand!
Yet from their first clash, Su Lin could sense the humanoid shadow's power escalating rapidly under the infusion of the vast river of blood!
The river of blood had even formed a close-fitting shield around the humanoid shadow!
This shield was absurdly powerful, capable of enduring blows from a Supreme Sovereign!
Boom!
The collision between the two shattered the heavens and earth; even the Will of Heaven and Earth, lingering on the periphery, refrained from intervening to stabilize the dimension.
The Will of Heaven and Earth had realized that the immense power these two held rendered its efforts to stabilize the space futile!
Unless the true form of the Will of Heaven and Earth descended itself!
So it simply created a dimensional fault to separate the massive war below, allowing the shockwaves from Su Lin's and the humanoid shadow's battle to spread freely in the heavens.
Even so, the shockwaves sent the dimensional fault carved by the Will of Heaven and Earth quaking and scattering!
This made it clear that whether it was the humanoid shadow now empowered by the vast river of blood or Su Lin, both were nearing a level beyond the grasp of the Will of Heaven and Earth!
"Is this your trump card? Even with external power, this is all you can achieve?"
In the aftermath of several collisions, Su Lin's towering spiritual will erupted across the skies!
The two sides clashed again and again!
Both Su Lin and the humanoid shadow wielded spatial rules in the Transformation Realm, capable of teleporting across hundreds of kilometers with a single thought, filling the sky with their afterimages.
Yet Su Lin was significantly faster!
His extraordinary speed, utterly stunning, even quadrupled his reaction time compared to the humanoid shadow!
After just a few attacks, the humanoid shadow couldn't even teleport in time and was directly struck by an enormous wolf claw!
The wolf claw, stretching a thousand meters, pierced through its already fragile chest!
Splurt!
The massive blood-formed avatar was punctured through!
Its chest, already fractured, took devastating damage from this blow, with torrents of blood spraying out.
But this time, the blood was no longer purely golden—it had turned pitch-black.
Blackened blood mixed with its crimson blood, spurting and oozing uncontrollably.
Yet the humanoid shadow, now infused with the vast river of blood, had numbed to the sensation of pain, its consciousness dissolved, leaving only swifter, sharper, and more ruthless combat instincts!
It let out no anguished cries but instead coiled its eight gigantic wings, transforming them into eight colossal swords capable of piercing anything, thrusting them mercilessly into Su Lin's wolf form!
Splurt!
The eight wings tore through Su Lin, scattering his silvery blood into the air!
"Aoooo!"
"Roar!"
In this moment of close combat, both unleashed their soundwave talents to their utmost limits!
SSS-level Celestial Wolf Howling Moon clashed head-on with the humanoid shadow's SS+-level Piercing Cloud Splitting Sky talent!
Boom!
Such close-range impact turned the humanoid shadow's long hair into ash, while its blood shield, avatar, flesh, and bones all suffered immense damage!
The limit-breaking fur of Su Lin also couldn't withstand the blow, his body drenched in blood as his fur flew wildly.
Both entities separated briefly!
At this moment, the humanoid shadow completely shattered Su Lin's previous understanding of it.
For when it came to a fight to the death, the humanoid shadow possessed the same ferocity as the Ice Crystal Fox King—willing to stake everything!
In truth, since the world's transformation over the past ten years, there were very few opponents who had left such a profound impression on Su Lin through blood-stained combat.
From the Purple Lynx at the start, to the Gold-patterned Travel Rat on the icy plains, to the Mysterious Gu King who fought through the Siberia Plains searching for their brother!
Later came the Godspeed Golden Eagle and the Ice Crystal Fox King!
Each and every one forced Su Lin to pay a price in blood and bone to subdue!
Today's humanoid shadow left a similarly indelible mark with its blood and agony.
"Once more! Humanoid shadow, why not summon your true form so we can battle freely!"
Taking his opponent seriously for the first time, Su Lin let out a long, resonant howl, unleashing his self-created Life-taking Secret Technique into the expanse of heaven and earth.
A gargantuan Seven-Colored Heavenly Wolf, over twenty thousand meters tall, took form in the Earth's atmosphere!
Twenty thousand meters—an unimaginable size before the great transformation of the world!
A true sky-reaching behemoth, capable of obliterating a small city with a single step.
The terrifying energy waves it emitted surged forth unrestrained!
The heavens trembled!
In the pitch-black night sky, the pale full moon became even more dazzling, countless strands of moonlight streaming toward Su Lin, amplifying his energy fluctuations and aura to even greater heights.
The Seven-Colored Heavenly Wolf Body was a peerless-level secret technique, a culmination of all his energy fused into a single entity.
After breaking the limits of both his Hunting Talent and Judgment Talent, the boost to his combat power from the Seven-Colored Heavenly Wolf Body was incomparably terrifying.
The mere energy fluctuations emanating from it caused the surrounding Rule Power to quiver.
As Su Lin manifested the Seven-Colored Heavenly Wolf Body, the humanoid shadow unleashed a deafening roar, forcing the vast blood sea to flood into its own form.
Its already gigantic blood-formed avatar swelled even larger.
Then, accompanied by a beastly howl that seemed to emerge from the depths of Hell, the humanoid shadow's eyes turned utterly vacant, consumed by unrelenting bloodlust and killing intent!
"Roar!"
Now void of all will, the humanoid shadow had transformed completely into a blood-colored ferocious beast, launching itself at Su Lin for an all-out aerial clash.
Both entities, towering over twenty thousand meters, exchanged devastating blows that caused the heavens to shudder!
A myriad of life-taking arts was unleashed!
The blood-colored ferocious beast's combat instincts eclipsed even those of the humanoid shadow—born entirely for battle.
No wonder the humanoid shadow called this the ace prepared for the Will of Heaven and Earth!
The ferocious combat and the shockwaves caused by the collision of rules and energy sent ripples that even those millions of meters away could feel.
The pitch-black night sky was transformed into a dazzling, multicolored spectacle by the energy streams generated by their strife.
If the blood feud between the Ice Crystal Fox King and the Northern Cold Wolf Master had made many ultimate beings lament being born into that era, knowing the transcendent opportunity was fated not to fall to them—
Then now, as the humanoid shadow and the Northern Cold Wolf Master fought ferociously, forces like the Evil Mandala, Fox-tail Algae, Godspeed Golden Eagle, and even the Little Lone Wolf were gripped by an all-encompassing chill.
In such an Era of Hegemony, countless brilliant supreme entities and Tianjiao had emerged, yet in the end, only one would remain!
The strongest would rise atop the corpses of countless supreme entities and Tianjiao, seize the transcendent opportunity, and claim dominion over the world!
Hence, they couldn't help but wonder: would they, too, become stepping stones trampled underfoot by some other Supreme Sovereign in the future?
And at this moment,
As Su Lin and the blood-colored ferocious beast—formed from the humanoid shadow's residual soul mingling with the vast blood river—fought with increasing ferocity, several overwhelming spiritual imprints appeared along the battle's periphery.
A jet-black, horned serpent of ten thousand meters stood at the edge of the battlefield, observing coldly.
A bizarre beast, amalgamating the strongest traits of countless species, loitered faintly in the high sky.
A towering sky-reaching giant cauldron descended forcefully into the heavens, and within it, a Yellow Sand Giant emerged, glaring fixedly at the Northern Cold Wolf Master, seemingly probing for its weaknesses.
An unprecedented golden cockroach emerged silently onto the battlefield, standing side by side with the ten-thousand-meter serpent.
Its spiritual imprint emanated an aura no less intense than that of the serpent.
A blood-red streak of light, resembling a spectral elf, hovered and spiraled in the high skies.
An unidentified entity of enormous size, draped in countless long tendrils, began to slowly manifest,
its mere spiritual imprint blackening the surrounding heavens. The True Intent of Poison it emanated surpassed even the Deadly Poison Fog in terror, spreading around it like a foreboding miasma.
A shadow shrouded in a black robe stood silently on one side, locked in an unseen confrontation with the Yellow Sand Giant across the way.
