The field fell into dead silence, but then the members of War Soul Star Palace emitted a wild, crazed howl, immediately pouncing towards the man who had just seemed so formidable, now screaming skyward, but he was already dead beyond revival.
As arrogant as he had just been, now he died as miserably as could be imagined.
The clenched fists of the War Soul Star Palace Master trembled slightly, his face cold and harsh as he roared furiously, "Everyone follow me, I refuse to believe that we, the noble War Soul Star Palace, cannot kill these inhuman beasts."
He finished speaking, and all the elites of the War Soul Star Palace charged towards the Absolute Night Wolf Guards.
The Chasing Army Commander also shouted, "All troops gather here, charge with me, and coordinate with the Xingluo Palace Master to slay Sikong Jing."
One after another, the pursuers charged madly towards the direction of the Absolute Night Wolf Guards.
Lian Guang, seeing this, coldly commanded while holding his War Saber, "Fuse with the Demon Wolf mounts, protect Commander Sikong who is in cultivation, and fight to the death!"
As his command was issued, the seven hundred Wolf Guards’ Demon Wolves also let out sky-piercing howls.
Then, an even more terrifying scene unfolded, the demonic power of the Demon Wolves boiled over, all reaching the Daoist Martial Fourth Realm and above.
The next moment, all the Absolute Night Wolf Guards and Demon Wolves instantly fused together as one, merging their True Qi and demonic power.
At this instant, the Wolf Guards and the Demon Wolves seemed to become one entity.
Now all bearing the bloodline of the Absolute Night Wolf King, all evolved because of Sikong Jing, thus what was extremely difficult for others, the union of man and horse, they managed with ease.
After merging, all the Absolute Night Wolf Guards let out a noise that reached the sky, "Kill..."
Each one holding a War Saber in one hand and transforming the other into a Wolf Claw, they faced the War Soul Star Palace members and the pursuers using Beast Skills such as Absolute Night Wolf Fang and Absolute Night Wolf Blade taught by Sikong Jing.
Previously, they might not have been able to fully utilize the Beast Skills of the Absolute Night Wolf King, but now, the Beast Skills were flawless in them.
Screams constantly arose around the Absolute Night Wolf Guards, seven hundred of them forming a formation, warding off attacks from their surroundings. Anyone apart from the strong of the War Soul Star Palace who touched them was doomed.
Seven hundred individuals, like seven hundred killing machines, unleashed terror unsurpassed.
They protected Sikong Jing in their midst.
They didn’t know why Sikong Jing had not awakened yet, but they couldn’t allow Sikong Jing to be touched by any force.
Blood and bodies kept exploding and accumulating around them, and even if the strong of the War Soul Star Palace were mighty, they could not blow open their defensive formation for the time being, with furious breaths colliding constantly at the edge of Fengying Lake.
And Lian Guang and others knew clearly in their hearts, that this was just the beginning of the earth-shattering battle mentioned by Commander Sikong.
Meanwhile, in the Ten Thousand Beasts Sky Prison, Sikong Jing, with his mind attached, still closely watched the meridians of the Absolute Night Wolf King.
He muttered to himself, "Just a bit more, just a tiny bit and I will be able to capture the new core of the ’Supreme Forget Love Technique.’ I can’t give up at this moment... Wolf Guards, hold on a bit longer for me."
Indeed, the reason Sikong Jing had not awakened was because he had captured an inspiration.
An inspiration that could ensure the ’Supreme Forget Love Technique’ would never fail.
And it would be an existence no weaker than the original Cultivation Technique. Once completed, his sister Sikong Ling would be saved, and they could finally acknowledge each other.
Inspiration comes unexpectedly, and if he gave up now, it might take a long time to find again.
To his sister now, waiting even a moment longer carried that much more danger.
Sikong Jing’s body shook violently, and he struggled to calm his mind as he searched the meridians of the Absolute Night Wolf King. He needed to understand more complex meridians to fully grasp that flash of inspiration.
He also sensed the situation outside and silently prayed that the Wolf Guards would hold off the enemy a little longer.
"Master of Ten Thousand Beasts, you have reached your limit. You can’t continue observing."
Just then, the voice of the Divine Turtle suddenly rang in Sikong Jing’s ear, and immediately afterwards, the Absolute Night Wolf King retracted his meridians and covered Sikong Jing with a force, cutting off any possibility for Sikong Jing to continue his comprehension.
"Wait a moment, just a little bit more..." Sikong Jing screamed, his eyes bloodshot.
However, the Absolute Night Wolf King had already retracted its meridians; he could see nothing now.
He stood there dazed, but soon regained his resolve, continuing to recall the Absolute Night Wolf King’s meridians in his mind, still constructing and comprehending them within his body since the memory was there.
"Master of Ten Thousand Beasts, you can’t continue, or you will be demonized."
The voice of the Golden Divine Dragon also started to sound, directly intending to shatter Sikong Jing’s memories with terrifying thoughts.
At this point, Sikong Jing was already half-stepping into a demonized state; otherwise, he wouldn’t have been so frantic.
Ordinarily, the Golden Divine Dragon’s terrifying power should have easily awakened Sikong Jing, but for some reason, Sikong Jing’s Beast Heart was as solid as a rock, showing no signs of disturbance.
This scene greatly surprised the Golden Divine Dragon, the Divine Turtle, and the other beasts.
Then, anxious, the Divine Turtle explained, "It is the Demon Intent before demonization that is eroding the Master of Ten Thousand Beasts. As his Beast Heart becomes more determined, it will be even harder for him to return if he becomes demonized again."
The more steadfast the Beast Heart, the more terrifying the Demon Heart after demonization, and the less likely a recovery becomes.
Clearly, Sikong Jing could resist the Golden Divine Dragon’s mental deterrence because the Demon Intent inside him was roaring and assisting.
Demon Intent is always present, looking for opportunities to return to Sikong Jing.
"Then what should we do?" The Black Prison Swallowing Sky Tiger asked urgently. "The Master of Ten Thousand Beasts is too obsessed with his sister, and there’s probably nothing that can break his Demon Intent and Beast Heart. Forcibly stopping him would severely damage his Spirit Platform."
Hearing this, the others looked at each other, helpless. They were powerful in many ways but had no solution for demonization.
Sikong Jing’s previous demonizations were all awakened by Madam Su Yuexi, the wife of the Master of Ten Thousand Beasts, who was not present now.
Suddenly, the Feiyun Butterfly fluttered by, its pleasing voice ringing out, "Master of Ten Thousand Beasts, your Absolute Night Wolf Guards won’t be able to hold on much longer."
At these words, Sikong Jing, whose resolve had been solid as a rock and who was on the verge of demonization, shook violently.
He abruptly opened his eyes and exited the Ten Thousand Beasts Sky Prison without a second word.
The other beasts, completely helpless, were utterly stunned; they dumbly looked towards the Feiyun Butterfly. Was it really that simple?
Just because the Absolute Night Wolf Guards couldn’t hold on, the nearly demonized Master of Ten Thousand Beasts immediately regained consciousness and exited?
Gently fluttering her wings, the Feiyun Butterfly spoke with pride, "Recently, I’ve gradually come to understand the Human Clan; they possess emotions we lack, whatever the kind... and this is a double-edged sword."
"Emotions can lead humans to demonization but also bring them back to consciousness. Our new master is the prime example; he not only has familial love for his sister but also camaraderie for his subordinates."
"He would never let his subordinates die for him. That must be what the human clan calls, valuing loyalty and duty."
As the Feiyun Butterfly explained, the other beasts remained puzzled.
Some Fierce Beasts even said, "Aren’t subordinates just meant to be sacrificed? If lost, can’t they just be recruited and trained again?"
Many Fierce Beasts agreed with this sentiment.
Of course, some Fierce Beasts fell into deep thought, as if they had understood something.
