Chapter 1319 - 1317: Defeat in the North
"Boom!"
A thunderous roar echoed through the valley, deafening to such an extent that weaker Demon Beasts nearby fainted on the spot. Even the Xia Family, situated over ten miles away, could clearly hear the explosive clash, a testament to the horrifying ferocity of this first encounter!
Following the collision, the Ice Moon Soaring Heaven Wolf was forced back to the ground, while the two Demon Kings were sent hurtling through the air once more. Gazing down at the wolf, both of them were utterly shaken to the core—never had they imagined that the Ice Moon Soaring Heaven Wolf could withstand their combined assault without a single scratch. It was clear now that the wolf was far beyond extraordinary.
The two Demon Kings exchanged a nod, their resolve hardening. They surged their Demon Energy again, preparing for an aerial strike against the Ice Moon Soaring Heaven Wolf. Suddenly, in mid-air, a massive spear of deep blue lightning coalesced into being, stretching dozens of meters in length. The enormous spear crackled with arcs of electricity dancing along its gleaming surface, exuding an overwhelmingly destructive power!
In front of the Dark Flame Sky-Burning Tiger, black Demon Energy condensed into a dark sphere two or three meters in diameter. The sphere flickered with waves of dark flames, resembling a blazing black inferno—its terrifying might palpable!
The Thunder Devouring Sky-Swallowing Flood Dragon and Dark Flame Sky-Burning Tiger had now unleashed their ultimate techniques. The Thunder Spear unleashed by the Flood Dragon, known as the Spear of Thunder formed from the Light of the Thunder God, was the culmination of a hundred years of devouring lightning, its power immeasurably vast. Similarly, the Dark Flame Tiger’s black sphere, forged from its Lifebound Dark Flame, was deadly enough to corrode all creation. Together, the two Demon Kings created an attack with the very strength to obliterate the heavens and the earth!
Witnessing this brewing onslaught, the Ice Moon Soaring Heaven Wolf’s expression turned grave. Instinct screamed a warning—it could not afford to underestimate this attack. In that moment, it too unleashed its ultimate move—Ice Wolf’s Roar to the Sky!
"Awooooo..."
With a piercing howl, an icy wolf emerged—a mirror image of the Ice Moon Soaring Heaven Wolf but half its size. The spectral apparition charged forward with chilling brilliance, aiming directly for the two Demon Kings in mid-air. The ice wolf, formed from pure Demon Energy, looked deceptively lifelike. Its jaws opened wide, razor-sharp icicles for fangs gleaming murderously, as though it intended to slaughter the Demon Kings in one swift blow!
The two Demon Kings were caught off guard by the sheer strength of their foe but wasted no time responding. They instantly directed the black sphere and the Spear of Thunder to intercept the incoming ice wolf!
"Boom!"
In an earth-shaking instant, the attacks collided. First to meet the ice wolf was the black sphere hurled by the Dark Flame Sky-Burning Tiger. The moment the two made contact, the spectral wolf was engulfed by the dark flames, steadily shrinking under the corroding power. Yet, even this could not halt its relentless charge toward the Demon Kings.
Just as the ice wolf surged forward once more, it was struck by the Spear of Thunder!
"BOOM!"
A catastrophic explosion rent the air, shaking the entire valley. The frozen landscape within shattered under the force, ice fracturing and dissipating in every direction. A fearsome shockwave radiated from mid-air, leveling everything in its path as it surged outward!
Yet, despite being struck by the Spear of Thunder, the ice wolf did not immediately shatter. Instead, it maintained a fierce standoff against the lightning attack. However, as time dragged on, the relentless dark flames continued to reduce its size, and it became evident that it would not endure much longer.
Seeing this, the two Demon Kings finally allowed themselves a sigh of relief. Once the spectral wolf was obliterated, the Ice Moon Soaring Heaven Wolf would stand no chance of survival!
But just as the Demon Kings began to lower their guard, an unexpected turn of events unfolded!
Without warning, countless ice spikes erupted from the valley floor, launching skyward in a deadly barrage aimed directly at the Demon Kings. Like a rain of icy spears, the spikes blotted out the sky, leaving the Demon Kings nowhere to evade! Faced with this sudden assault, the Demon Kings were gripped by panic and immediately pushed their Demon Energy to its limits, striving to block the deadly onslaught.
Little did they know, this was the Ice Moon Soaring Heaven Wolf’s true plan all along. From the very start, it had frozen the valley in preparation for this precise moment—a meticulously orchestrated ambush to annihilate the Demon Kings in a single strike. Enhanced by the wolf’s deliberate focus, the ice spikes were no weaker than divine weapons. Even with their incredible strength, the Demon Kings could not block every single spike, despite pushing their Demon Energy to its peak!
Eventually, their defenses failed. After destroying the majority of the icy projectiles, the remaining spikes pierced through their massive bodies. Black and blue blood rained down from the skies as the Demon Kings let out agonized screams, plummeting to the earth!
With the Demon Kings off balance, the Spear of Thunder lost contact with its master’s control and dissipated. The spectral wolf, seizing its final moment before vanishing, reached the Demon Kings and self-destructed!
"BOOM!"
A cascade of ice crystals burst forth from the explosion, showering down upon the Thunder Devouring Sky-Swallowing Flood Dragon and Dark Flame Sky-Burning Tiger. Their already grievous wounds were now exacerbated as the crystalline shards pierced through their flesh, leaving them riddled with injuries, their massive bodies resembling perforated sieves...
"Bang! Bang!"
The ground shook violently as the two Demon Kings collided with the earth, creating two massive craters. At the bottom of each pit pooled black and blue blood, and the Demon Kings looked utterly mangled, their once-imposing forms now pitifully wretched...
Had the Demon Kings been defeated?
This... how could this be possible?!
Could it be that the Ice Moon Soaring Heaven Wolf had ascended to become a Demon Immortal?!
...
Seeing the two Demon Kings defeated and severely injured, the native Demon Beasts of the Lost Forest were consumed by despair. They had originally pinned their hopes on the Demon Kings to slay the Ice Moon Soaring Heaven Wolf and bring an end to their suffering. And yet, not only had the Demon Kings failed, they had been utterly crushed. What hope did they have now?
As they turned their gaze to the Ice Moon Soaring Heaven Wolf, fear filled their hearts. They instinctively began to retreat. Their only priority now was survival; all else was irrelevant...
This couldn’t be happening!
The Demon Kings were in deep trouble!
What were they going to do now? What could they do?!
...
From atop the Xia Family City walls, the humans watched the scene in shock. They could not believe what they were witnessing: the two Demon Kings, the most powerful beings of the Hidden World, lying defeated at the hands of the Ice Moon Soaring Heaven Wolf, battered into such a miserable state. How could this be? Since when had the Ice Moon Soaring Heaven Wolf become this terrifying?
Concern for the Demon Kings gradually began to build among the onlookers. While their safety was uncertain, the Xia Family felt no fear for their own survival. With Lin Feng present, they were confident no threat could reach them.
Lin Feng furrowed his brows as he observed the scene. Even he had not expected the Demon Kings to meet such a crushing defeat. However, now that the Demon Kings had aligned themselves with him, he couldn’t just let them perish. With this thought, he vanished from the city walls, so abruptly that even Xia Yan by his side failed to notice his departure...
The two Demon Kings, stunned and filled with regret, could not fathom how the Ice Moon Soaring Heaven Wolf had reached such unparalleled strength. Their grievous injuries were undeniable. Staring at the wolf, bitter remorse consumed their hearts. They now understood their mistake. Had they refrained from relying on their Spear of Thunder and Lifebound Dark Flame attacks, those ice spears wouldn’t have inflicted such devastating damage. But it was too late for regret. Had they known the Ice Moon Soaring Heaven Wolf had become so formidable, they would have engaged it in close combat instead. Even in defeat, they wouldn’t have faced such ruin!
As the Ice Moon Soaring Heaven Wolf approached, the two Demon Kings erupted in rage. Ignoring their injuries, they forced themselves to their feet and roared furiously in defiance...
"Roar! Roar!"
"Roar! Roar!"
Their earth-shattering roars rang out with such intensity it felt as though sound itself would shatter everything. Their blood-red eyes glowed with an all-consuming hatred. Even if it cost their lives, they swore to inflict the most excruciating punishment upon the Ice Moon Soaring Heaven Wolf. Such was their resolve that the thought of self-destructing their Demon Cores began to cross their minds. Their intent to kill the wolf was as fierce as raging flames!
"Roar all you want, you decrepit fools. You’re gravely injured now, so what’s the point of posturing? You finally understand, don’t you? I am the true master of the Lost Forest. You two are nothing now. Today is the end for both of you. In your prime, you couldn’t defeat me. And now, reduced to mere scraps, what could you possibly hope to accomplish? Pathetic fools!"
The Ice Moon Soaring Heaven Wolf sneered arrogantly at the Demon Kings’ defiance. Now that they were gravely wounded, finishing them off would be a trivial task. The wolf brimmed with confidence—it had the power to back its words. No one could save the Demon Kings now, not even that so-called ancestor from the Xia Family. The Demon Kings were doomed!
As it spoke, Demon Energy began condensing around the Ice Moon Soaring Heaven Wolf. Although its previous attacks had drained a significant amount of its energy, its innate power remained immense. The speed with which it replenished its Demon Energy was alarming, and it was already nearing full restoration.
"Roar... I will take you down with me..."
"Roar... You think you can kill us? Dream on!"
Faced with the imminent finishing blow, the Demon Kings’ frustration boiled over. Their words became desperate rebuttals against the Ice Moon Soaring Heaven Wolf. Yet deep inside, they knew there was no stopping what was coming. Sharing a final glance, they made a silent pact—to self-destruct their Demon Cores and drag the wolf into the abyss with them.
But just as they prepared to unleash their final act of defiance, a voice echoed within their minds, causing their expressions to shift dramatically. In an instant, they abandoned their suicidal plan...
The Demon Kings were about to perish!
Then life would become unbearable!
This Ice Moon Soaring Heaven Wolf... its strength was simply too terrifying! It truly planned to eradicate the Demon Kings!
