A beast-suppressing aura was also released. This aura serves to intimidate and weaken any nearby beasts, making it easier to control or defeat them. It creates palpable fear in the hearts of the creatures, causing them to hesitate or flee.
Moreover, the aura interferes with the beasts' natural abilities, diminishing their combat prowess and coordination.
His numerous burn wounds and injuries were also beginning to heal rapidly.
The healing process was accelerated by the powerful aura emanating from him, enhancing his regenerative abilities. As the wounds closed and the pain subsided, he felt a surge of strength and determination coursing through his body.
He started thinking faster, felt less tired, and his silver eyes began to spin with a mysterious white light.
The Heavenly eyes, with their spinning and emanating white light, are a symbol of his heightened power and awareness.
They allow him to perceive hidden threats and weaknesses in his opponents, giving him a strategic advantage in battle.
The world slowed down before his eyes.
He could see each movement the wolves made and how they coordinated with each other.
Travis's heightened senses granted him the ability to vividly visualize and sense every detail of the entire cliff, enhancing his spatial awareness and perception.
The alpha wolf got agitated seeing the threatening aura coming from Travis; it howled loudly as if giving orders; it no longer cared about harassing Travis.
The Alpha wolf's howl was not just a signal of agitation, but a desperate call to its pack to prepare for a decisive battle.
This howl underscored the gravity of the situation, marking the moment as a critical turning point where the Wolves recognized Travis as an overwhelming threat.
It was a declaration that the confrontation had escalated into a life-or-death struggle.
Immediately sticking its ears straight up, baring its teeth, and attacking with all its might, it aimed straight at Travis' neck. The other wolves flanked Travis, aiming at his shoulder and rump.
As he observed the aggressive wolves charging towards him, Travis's heavenly eyes spun faster, analyzing their movements.
The wolves' coordinated attack was reminiscent of the classic pincer movement, a military tactic where forces attack both flanks of an enemy simultaneously. This strategy was designed to overwhelm and encircle their target, leaving Travis with limited options for escape.
His heightened senses and strategic awareness enabled him to anticipate their moves, preparing him for a counterattack. It became obvious to him what the wolves were going to do when he observed their movements, directions, and attack patterns.
Travis's heavenly senses tingled and spread out, warning him of the impending attack and its potential harm.
His exceptional foresight at that moment surpassed all predictions, showcasing his unparalleled ability to anticipate and react to imminent dangers.
Travis then leapt into the air, executing three rapid spins to evade the attacks of two wolves. He raised his right hand as an earth element qi suddenly rushed and gathered in his fist.
He then threw a punch filled with boundless earth energy; his power at this moment could match a peak body tempering realm cultivator; his fist smashed into the side ribs of a wolf, blasting it towards another wolf.
His senses tingled again, sending a sharp warning through his body of the massive fireball hurtling towards him, urging him to react swiftly.
In that instant, his understanding of the earth element deepened abruptly, flooding his mind with various insights that guided his next move.
He stamped his foot hard against the ground as a shield of earth rose to protect him, blocking the fireball.
Regrettably, his control faltered, allowing twenty percent of the attack to smash into him, leaving burning patches on his skin. Despite the pain, his heavenly silver eyes captured the Alpha wolf lunging at him from the sky.
Under the overwhelming pressure of the core formation realm, his movements decelerated, and a creeping sense of despair insidiously took hold of him.
His Divine Eros Faerie suddenly activated, possibly in response to his impending death, infusing him with extra Qi energy.
Although his cultivation peaked at the fourth stage, it faced a bottleneck due to inadequate energy for further advancement.
But Travis was already satisfied as he had managed to break free from the oppressive aura, In a last display of resolve, he directed all his remaining energy towards a potent counterattack, showcasing his unwavering determination and combat prowess.
The wolf closed in swiftly, its jaws aimed directly at his vulnerable neck, ready to strike.
He immediately gathered all his strength as he grappled with the wolf, trying to smash it away.
Unfortunately, there was nothing behind him, as he was already at the edge of the cliff.
As Travis was thrown off the ground by the force of the wolf, he plummeted into the abyss, succumbing to the frictional pull. His anguished screams reverberated through the canyon as Travis plunged to his tragic end, the echoes resonating with the finality of his descent.
