Chapter 1842: Deadly Sky Wolf

"Ah... ahh!!" The four Star Gods—Tianyang, Tianyan, Tianhun, and Tianmei—let out painful, mournful cries. At this moment, they had already foreseen their tragic end. The Star Gods, once glorious across the world, would, in their generation, be consigned to eternal history.

Their chests felt as if they would burst, and burning hatred consumed all their power to its extreme. In that moment, they went completely mad. Their Star God power erupted with an abnormal glow, more violent than anything they had ever unleashed in their lives, obliterating everything in their sight.

Caizhi's eyes were devoid of starlight, containing only endless darkness. Her aura grew more resentful, and her sword energy became more ferocious. The Fenrir's vengeful roar echoed across the entire battlefield, stirring every soul.

Long Er's gaze lingered on Caizhi for a long moment, and he sighed, "The Fenrir of the Eastern Region in this generation, how can she be such a monstrous prodigy?"

"At just thirty years old?" Even Long Yi, given his status, could barely believe his own perception.

"A pity, truly, that she has fallen so deep into the demonic path," Long San sighed, shaking his head.

In less than ten short years, Caizhi grew from Divine Master Level Seven to Divine Master Level Ten. This speed of growth and awakening far surpassed that of Xisu, the previous generation's Fenrir, and even far exceeded any Star God in history.

Given enough time, she would undoubtedly become the strongest Star God in the history of the Star God Realm.

But ultimately, she was still too young, unable to contend with Zhou Xuzi, who possessed tens of thousands of years of formidable profound strength and vast heritage.

Moreover, there were also six Heavenly Cosmos Guardians.

The demonic wolf howled to the heavens, her sword a star of calamity. Caizhi broke through the power seals of one guardian after another. With a single move, "Heaven Star's Woe," she compressed a hundred miles of space into a terrifying, suddenly appearing "S" shape, striking directly at Zhou Xuzi's head.

In her eyes, there was only Zhou Xuzi.

Today, she might be destined to perish here... But before that, no matter what, she had to shred Zhou Xuzi to pieces.

Zhou Xuzi retreated slightly. He swung his right arm, and the whisk in his hand fanned out. The space twisted by the Fenrir's sword aura suddenly twisted in reverse, fiercely distorting Caizhi's sword might as well.

Boom!! Space on both sides of Zhou Xuzi collapsed into destruction, but only a strong gust of wind swept through the spot where he stood.

The six guardians who had just been forced back now attacked in unison.

Caizhi's sword went forward relentlessly, leaving no path for retreat. Three streaks of white light and three sword energies all struck her body directly, forcing her to retreat violently, her colorful robes stained with blood.

But regardless of her internal or external injuries, she paid them no heed. The Fenrir Demonic Sword once again filled the sky with demonic aura, and with the Fenrir's roar, it struck directly at Zhou Xuzi's head.

Such a fierce battle had never been seen in the entire history of the God Realm.

Throughout the Southern Divine Region, from north to south, east to west, countless star realms and planets trembled to varying degrees.

As for the subsidiary star realms near the Ten Directions Azure Sea Realm, they were already successively crumbling in the aftermath.

Their limited perspective restricted their understanding. The high-level profound practitioners of these subsidiary star realms had already fled in panic six hours earlier. But countless ordinary profound practitioners did not believe that the distant battle in the Azure Sea Realm could affect their own star realms... When the aftershocks struck, less than half of them managed to escape with their lives.

In the Eastern, Western, and Southern Divine Regions, all eyes were fixed on the Ten Directions Azure Sea Realm.

This suddenly erupted Divine Region War, which had unfolded beyond everyone's expectations, caused their hearts to pound with a mixture of anticipation and dread.

Almost everyone hoped and was convinced that the Western Divine Region would thoroughly annihilate the invading Devil Race, saving the Eastern and Southern Divine Regions from their plight, and eradicating future troubles forever.

At the Divine Master Realm, perishing was originally quite difficult. However, when the battlefield was filled with Divine Masters, their bodies would also shatter and scatter, and their blood would likewise be spilled across the sky.

Boom!! Dimensions shattered like thin paper. Three Heavenly Cosmos Guardians vomited blood and were sent flying, but Caizhi was also sent tumbling away like a colorful butterfly caught in a storm.

Zhou Xuzi's white hair flew wildly. His voice was like a booming bell: "In just a few short years, such progress is astonishing. But since you have fallen into the demonic path, I cannot let you live!"

"Hmph! To kill my master? You, a mere Fenrir, you must be dreaming!" the guardian fiercely said, stubbornly defending Zhou Xuzi's right side.

Caizhi stopped herself in the storm. She raised both hands high, her demonic sword pointing to the sky. Streams of blood slowly trickled down her snow-white hands, a sight that pierced the heart.

The sky suddenly darkened. Behind her, a colossal blood-red full moon abruptly appeared. Within the blood moon, a gigantic wolf, ten thousand feet tall, with eyes like a blood purgatory and a mouth seemingly capable of devouring the heavens, let out a low growl that shattered souls.

The six guardians who were about to seize the opportunity to launch a pincer attack suddenly froze in place. Their pupils rapidly constricted as the blood moon and wolf shadow reflected in them.

"Hmm?" The attention of all the Venerable Dry Dragons turned.

"The Immortal Slaying Sword Array," Long Yi said, his gaze once again fixed on Caizhi. "Let me see the power of this young wolf's Immortal Slaying Sword Array."

"Heh heh, this young wolf is only young in age," Long Er said. "Based on her current might alone, she has already surpassed all the Fenrir Star Gods in my memory."

"Immortal... Immortal Slaying Sword Array!" a guardian said, trembling. The Fenrir's Sixth Sword – Blood Moon Immortal Slaying Sword. Although he had never personally experienced it, as a guardian, how could he not know about it?

As he finished speaking, he was startled to realize his teeth were chattering.

And this soul-shaking tremor told them that before them was an overpowering might they could not resist!

Caizhi's eyes held boundless hatred, dark as an abyss. Her arms slowly swept down, reflected in the guardians' terrified, blood-red eyes.

Howl---- The Fenrir howled through the sky. A gigantic wolf shadow, ten thousand feet tall, descended upon the world. Its glaring blood-red eyes were like a blood purgatory, burying countless living beings.

"Get back!!" Zhou Xuzi roared, not retreating but advancing instead. Reflecting the blood moon and colossal wolf, he spread his arms wide, and a bronze ancient bell appeared before him.

When the ancient bell first appeared, it was only ten feet long. But with the frenzied injection of white light from Zhou Xuzi's arms, it rapidly expanded, instantly reaching hundreds, thousands, and then tens of thousands of feet... Its bell mouth, deep as an abyss, directly covered the blood moon and colossal wolf that descended from the heavens.

"The Cosmic Bell," Long Wu said, looking up and muttering softly.

Boom!!! With a thunderous roar that swallowed heaven and earth, the sword might of the Immortal Slaying Sword Array erupted. The wolf shadow shattered, revealing thousands of blood-red sword energies.

Each of these thousands of sword energies was enough to destroy heaven and earth... But instead of striking Zhou Xuzi and the guardians, they were all enveloped by the Cosmic Bell.

The sound of destruction lasted for a full five breaths. The Cosmic Bell violently vibrated, its booming sound causing countless Divine Master profound practitioners to temporarily lose their hearing. By the end, it had begun to gradually twist and deform...

Crack!! With a terrifying sound, cracks abruptly appeared on the Cosmic Bell and instantly spread across its entire body. But at that very moment, the sound of destruction ceased.

"..." The colossal wolf shadow vanished, and the blood-red moonlight behind Caizhi also completely dissipated. She stared blankly at the Cosmic Bell, her arms slowly dropping, and her pupils becoming unfocused.

Subsequently, her graceful head also slowly drooped. Blood beads and streams slid from her luminous, jade-like hands down to the sword blade, then rapidly dripped from the sword tip.

The Cosmic Bell rapidly shrank in Zhou Xuzi's hand. Seeing the cracks on the bell's body, a pang of distress flickered in his aged eyes. He then sighed and put it away.

"Sigh," Long San said, letting out a light breath, seemingly with some regret.

"What a pity," Long Si said, shaking his head. "If not for the Cosmic Bell, the Heavenly Cosmos would have lost at least an arm. What a pity."

The five Venerable Dry Dragons never made a move, instead remaining like detached spectators. For in their eyes, the outcome of the battle was already predetermined, making their intervention unnecessary.

"Hmm!?" Long Yi's expression suddenly shifted slightly.

At the same moment, the expressions of the other Venerable Dry Dragons and Long Bai also abruptly changed, their varied gazes falling directly upon Caizhi.

"It seems this is about your limit," Zhou Xuzi said, slowly stepping forward. But before he could finish his sentence, he suddenly froze in place.

The sounds in his ears suddenly vanished.

The shouts of battle, roars, the booming of power, the shattering of bodies... All sounds disappeared without a trace.

His vision, too, became eerily static at that moment. Distant figures and blood mist, nearby dust and sand, all froze in place. Then, in this terrifying stillness, they rapidly blurred... and blurred further...

Until everything vanished, a pitch-black... wolf shadow appeared in his vision, in his world.

The wolf shadow was not large; its highest point, the wolf's head, was only level with Caizhi's figure. It slowly approached Zhou Xuzi. Its wolf eyes were like a blood purgatory, yet they clearly reflected Zhou Xuzi's figure. Between its tightly clenched wolf teeth, it let out a low, desperate whimper.

Thump! Thump! Thump! Zhou Xuzi couldn't tell if it was the sound of his own heart beating, or the heart of this demonic wolf.

"Zhou... Xu... Zi..." The sound in his ears was like a maiden's angry whisper, yet also like a demonic wolf's howl: "Even if my body burns and my soul shatters, I... will... offer... you... as... a blood... sacrifice!!"

Hatred! No words could describe the depth of that hatred... Zhou Xuzi's entire body turned icy cold, but soon he couldn't even feel the cold anymore.

The demonic wolf drew closer and closer, finally lunging at him. Its wolf mouth opened wide in a furious snarl. Each wolf fang gleamed with dark and blood-red cold light, rapidly approaching and enlarging in his pupils.

Yet, he couldn't move, nor could he even cry out. Only in his ears did he vaguely hear the roars of the guardians.

Caizhi, who had kept her head bowed for a long time, finally slowly looked up. The Fenrir Demonic Sword in her hand was raised once more. From her lips came an extremely soft, murmuring whisper:

"Earth... Wailing... Heaven... Wounded...""Only... Hate... Without... Heart..."

As the soft chant faded, the Fenrir Demonic Sword gently swept, and towards Zhou Xuzi, it flung out a seemingly simple black sword energy.

At that instant, the fierce battlefield suddenly fell silent.

In everyone's minds and souls, there appeared a dark Fenrir, its entire body stained with blood, entangled in dark chains, having just crawled out of the abyss of purgatory.

It carried endless hatred, opening its fangs that seemed to devour the heavens, and lunged at Zhou Xuzi.

"Master!?""Master!!!"

The fundamental attribute of Fenrir's power was hatred.

And Caizhi's boundless hatred at this moment was locked onto Zhou Xuzi alone.

Under this terrifying hatred and demonic might, he was suppressed into a state of horrified paralysis, unable to move... As the sword energy approached, the six guardians shrieked and lunged forward, unleashing their Heavenly Cosmos Divine Power heavily against the dark sword energy.

With a faint, almost imperceptible sound of tearing, the first guardian's power and body were instantly pierced by the dark sword energy, like tearing silk.

With the same faint tearing sound, the dark sword energy pierced through the second guardian's body... He felt no pain at all, not even knowing that his body had been severed.

Hiss... the third.Hiss—the fourth.Hiss————the fifth.The dark sword energy's power finally weakened somewhat, stagnating for half a breath under the sixth guardian's Heavenly Cosmos Divine Power, then piercing through him as well... This time, the cut was not as clean; as it severed the body, it brought forth spurting blood mist.

An instant, just an instant. The six Heavenly Cosmos Guardians were severed by the same sword energy... When the sword energy flew towards Zhou Xuzi, the first guardian's body had not even had time to separate.

In Zhou Xuzi's pupils, the fangs of the dark demonic wolf were already pressing close to his throat. Yet he still couldn't move, only despair remained in his heart...

Roar!! A heaven-shaking dragon's roar suddenly rang out. Zhou Xuzi's soul violently shook, and his consciousness abruptly broke free from the dark Fenrir's cage of hatred... But the dark sword energy was already upon him; he only had time to cross his arm in front of his body.

And as the dragon's roar sounded, a surge of dragon energy also shot out, swiftly transforming into a pale dragon shadow that directly struck the dark sword energy.

Long Yi! Facing this legendary Fenrir's Seventh Sword, he finally made his move.

Bang!! The dragon shadow collided with the dark profound energy. A cry of hatred, a roar, and a mournful dragon's roar simultaneously tore through the sky.

The dragon shadow from Long Yi was also torn apart at the waist... And the dark sword energy, weakened layer by layer to only twenty percent of its original might, then heavily struck Zhou Xuzi, who had already activated his defensive power.

Howl---- The demonic wolf howled to the heavens. But this time, besides demonic might and hatred, it also carried a hint of desolation.

The final dark sword might exploded on Zhou Xuzi's body. Divine Emperor's blood splattered across the sky... A two-foot-long gash opened on Zhou Xuzi's chest, flesh and blood flew, and fractured bones were exposed.

Yet, it ultimately failed to sever his body and end his life.

"Ugh... ahh..." Zhou Xuzi retreated in panic, pressing a hand to his chest. From his mouth came painful groans, and in his soul, an unyielding fear lingered.

"…!" Long Yi's palm hovered in mid-air. In his ancient eyes, a deep shock lingered, difficult to dispel for a long time.

Looking at Zhou Xuzi's injuries, the last glimmer of light in Caizhi's pupils also completely dimmed, turning into a blurry darkness.

The Fenrir Demonic Sword slipped from her hand, falling powerlessly.

Her body became incredibly light, so light that she could no longer perceive her own existence. She closed her eyes, allowing herself to be carried by the cold wind, falling into a dark and despairing abyss.
