Chapter 843 – Taboo Wolf

He stared at the Sun Devouring Wolf, then said, “Tian Kun, you’re part of the wolf clan; how could you not have heard of the Taboo Wolf before? The Taboo Wolf isn’t in the top eight hundred wolf clans, but they used to be as famous as thunder in the Ancient Ages. Legend has it that the Taboo Wolf consumes items to strengthen itself, and there is a type that can even swallow the sun. It is called the Sun Devouring Wolf. Doesn’t this wolf look like one?”

The man from the wolf clan named Tian Kun was stunned. He said, “Are you saying that this black demonic wolf is the most terrifying type of the Taboo Wolf, the Sun Devouring Wolf? The kind that could almost swallow the sun? But ... he’s only a Category Nine King-tier. If he was a Sun Devouring Wolf, he would be unimaginably powerful from birth, so wouldn’t he be at least a Demon God?”

“I don’t know either. Let’s observe to see if this demonic wolf has any fire-swallowing abilities. If he does, he might even be a legendary Taboo Wolf. We will take him back to the Desolate Royal Territory and let the elders confirm it. If he really is a Sun Devouring Wolf, we will become very rich.”

“Makes sense. We’d rather be wrong than let this opportunity go.”

Their version of the legend of the Sun Devouring Wolf was clearly different from the Ten Thousand Nations Territory. The Ten Thousand Nations Territory’s version stated that the Sun Devouring Wolf started off as a Category One Earth-tier demonic beast, but in the Royal Territories, the Sun Devouring Wolf was at least a Demon God from birth.

Demon Gods were equivalent to Divine Martial Realm experts.

That was why these experts of the demon race struggled to confirm if Xiaolang was a Taboo Wolf from the legends. If he was, it was a significant matter. Even they did not fully understand what the Sun Devouring Wolf represented.

Previously, they were thinking of killing Long Chen after they saw that he was a Beast Warrior. However, when they recognized Xiaolang, the experts of the demon race completely disregarded Long Chen.

“I let this tree swallow my Red Fire Tree Fruit, which is an important fire-type treasure. Let’s see if the wolf consumes it. If yes, even if he isn’t the Sun Devouring Wolf, he should be related to one, and we should take him back to the Royal Territory.”

“We’ll see,” said Tian Kun, trying to calm his excitement.

The woman had only turned the tree into a Red Fire Tree out of boredom. However, they had not expected to lure a mysterious beast like Xiaolang out. Of course, to Long Chen, Xiaolang was not a beast, but his brother.

Long Chen and Xiaolang had arrived while Bai Lan and Lei Ji were surrounded by branches. There was still some distance between them and Heavenly Wood City.

“Xiaolang, help them,” said Long Chen, looking down.

Xiaolang knew what to do without needing any instructions. He leaped powerfully towards the densest part of the branches and roared. Black flames appeared in his mouth and shot out at Heavenly Wood City. All the branches in its path were immediately covered in Xiaolang’s fire.

When Bai Lan and Lei Ji sensed the presence of this fire, they dodged.

After the black fire passed, all the thick branches had turned into black ice, then they suddenly crashed down like hail, creating countless craters and holes in the ground below, along with constant rumbles.

When Xiaolang’s Nine Devils Ancestral Fire turned most of the flaming branches into black ice, many also disappeared into thin-air. All the branches in the path between Bai Lan and Heavenly Wood City had shattered, forming a large hole!

“Go!” roared Long Chen.

Bai Lan and Lei Ji took this chance to shoot through the hole into Heavenly Wood City, passing through the fireball. Long Chen was much more assured with them saving Suxue and the others. Next, the brothers had to figure out how to eat the Red Fire Tree Fruit.

The five demons in the sky erupted in conversation after witnessing the Sun Devouring Wolf’s performance. They looked at each other, stunned. One of the men muttered, “If I saw it right, the demonic wolf spat out something that resembles one of the legendary ancestral fires ... Was it similar to the Nine Devils Ancestral Fire?”

“It’s not the Nine Devils Ancestral Fire. The true Nine Devils Ancestral Fire can swallow all heat and freeze heaven and earth. If we were this close to the Nine Devils Ancestral Fire, we would be reduced to nothing. I think it was just a fraction of the Nine Devils Ancestral Fire. This demonic wolf may not be able to fully utilize the fraction’s full strength yet, so his attack isn’t powerful. However, a demonic beast that can swallow and utilize a fraction of an ancestral fire ...”

Everyone knew just how significant this was.

Tian Kun said, “Average demons like us cannot wield a portion of the ancestral fire, but he can, and that is a miracle. We must bring him back to the Royal Territory and let the elders see him.”

He was part of the wolf clan, and Xiaolang was a wolf. Naturally, he would be brought back to the wolf clan.

The relationship between all the different clans was considered friendly, so the others did not object.

“Next, let’s see if this little demonic wolf can swallow the Red Fire Tree Fruit. If he can, hehe ... We will take him to see what the real world looks like. Even the smallest of the Three Royal Territories is larger than the whole Ten Thousand Nations Territory, let alone the Desolate Royal Territory. It’s almost three times the size of the Ten Thousand Nations Territory. Out of the Three Territories and Nine Worlds, even the smallest of the Nine Worlds, the Supreme Yin World, is almost half of the Ten Thousand Nations Territory.”

Three Territories and Nine Worlds. Long Chen knew of the Three Royal Territories, but he did not know that there were nine miniverses within them known as the Nine Worlds. Some of the miniverses were even as large as the Ten Thousand Nations Territory itself.

That was the true Dragon Continent.

If the area of the countless miniverses was included, the Dragon Continent’s size would increase by at least five times.

The nine largest miniverses combined were already more than two times the size of the Three Royal Territories.

While Long Chen was working hard to fight the Red Fire Tree, he did not have time to think that the five demons were watching him.

After Bai Lan and Lei Ji entered the city, Long Chen and Xiaolang had successfully annoyed the Red Fire Tree, causing it to focus on the duo.

“Xiaolang, point out the location of the Red Fire Tree Fruit! I’ll go get it!”

This artificially formed Red Fire Tree had a fatal weakness—once the Red Fire Tree Fruit was taken away, it would enter a death-like state.

This tree was unimaginably huge, and Xiaolang was the only one who could accurately sense where the fruit was.

Long Chen was much smaller than Xiaolang, so he could slip into the Red Fire Tree’s body.

Xiaolang, who had activated the Nine Devils Ancestral Fire once more, nodded. Under his control, his body was ablaze with the Nine Devils Ancestral Fire. When the branches lashed on his body and the flames on the branches met with the Nine Devils Ancestral Fire, they extinguished immediately like water had been poured. The branches protected by red flames quickly turned into black ice after they were burned by the Nine Devils Ancestral Fire.

All the branches that touched Xiaolang’s body turned into powder!

Xiaolang shielded Long Chen close to his chest as the wolf and man shot towards the fruit. The tree seemed to sense Long Chen’s intentions, leaving it terrified. Almost all the branches now lashed at the Sun Devouring Wolf!

One or two was not a problem, but when all the branches attacked them, it was not easy for the Sun Devouring Wolf to endure so many hits.

If it wasn’t for the Nine Devils Ancestral Fire, Xiaolang would have been torn to shreds.

The world was fair. Although the Sun Devouring Wolf had the ultimate transformative ability, its strength and body toughness were only average.

However, with the Nine Devils Ancestral Fire, he could hold on!

“Enter here! It’s in the center!” Under Xiaolang’s protection, Long Chen quickly approached the Heavenly Wood Tree. The tree backed away in panic, but it moved extremely slowly.

“Be careful!” After Long Chen spoke, he pulled out the Three Thousand Star Clusters!

Xiaolang spat the Nine Devils Ancestral Fire on the Red Fire Tree, and the Nine Devils Ancestral Fire burned a large hole in the wall-like trunk. With the Three Thousand Star Clusters in hand, which shone with endless starlight, Long Chen shot into the tree trunk!

Then they heard a scream!

Long Chen knew that time was of the essence. Within the Red Fire Tree’s body, the nearer they got to the fruit, the hotter it became, until it was too hot for Long Chen to endure. Fierce flames burned all around him. Fortunately, he had cultivated the Seven Star Body, so he was not burned to a crisp.

Sizzle! Sizzle!

Boom!

Long Chen used the Three Thousand Star Clusters to shatter all the wood around him with rays of starlight. He traveled very quickly inside the tree trunk, and after about seven minutes, he finally found the Red Fire Tree Fruit!

This was the source of the Red Fire Tree’s powers.

“That’s the damn thing!” Long Chen acted quickly. There were countless blood vessel-like structures connected to the fruit. Long Chen immediately cut all them, then he swiftly put the Red Fire Tree Fruit in the Primordial Realm.
