Chapter 250 - The Legend of the Moon Devouring Wolf

“Tianchen!”

The six people blocking Mo Xiaolang let out gut-wrenching screams. Their hearts turned cold and they no longer cared about Mo Xiaolang, the opponent who was toying with them. They rushed to the duo’s rescue.

To them, Long Chen looked like a powerful tornado as he manipulated the Azure Dragon Halberd wildly, slashing Beitang Mo and Dongfang Tianchen’s attacks to pieces. Then the two ghostly-pale men were swallowed into the attack range of the halberd, the tornado spinning around them. Although there was no bloodshed yet, everyone knew it was coming.

Indeed, Long Chen had stopped attacking and took a few steps back, keeping away from them.

He had not even used his most powerful form, the Dragon Soul Transformation, for this fight.

When they saw Long Chen’s cold gaze, the Lingwu members knew that it was likely a tragedy. Dongfang Tianchen and Beitang Mo stood on the spot, in a daze. Their eyes were wide, their faces filled with disbelief.

Clang!

The Black Tortoise Axe fell on the ground, bounced up, and then disappeared from sight. Due to the vibration from the bounce, they saw growing patches of blood painting Dongfang Tianchen and Beitang Mo’s chests. They each had a piercing wound on the location of their hearts. The large wounds were enough to kill them.

Beitang Mo and Dongfang Tianchen were dead!

Beitang Mo had received his death sentence when he almost killed Long Chen with his Yin Poison Palm Strike. As for Dongfang Tianchen, due to the fight over the Azure Dragon Halberd, Long Chen could only live in peace if he was dead.

The remaining six people stared in shock, drowning in grief and regret.

Long Chen was the devil to them. They would have never thought that the idiotic-looking newbie who had just joined would grow to this terrifying level within such a short time.

They had known for a long time that Long Chen was not someone they could bully. With his capabilities, he had the right to step on their heads!

Even the Black Tortoise Axe was no longer in Beitang Mo’s control. This meant the two were very dead.

“Remember this. Do not provoke me, or you will end up like them,” Long Chen said mildly, then he gestured for Mo Xiaolang to leave with him.

The Lingwu contingent had lost Beitang Mo and Dongfang Tianchen, which also meant that they had lost the ability to fight for the inheritance. Of course, if Long Chen or Mo Xiaolang won, the right to rule would still be given to the Lingwu family.

They watched Long Chen leave with pain, struggle, and mostly fear in their eyes.

“Big Brother, aren’t you afraid of the Patriarch coming after you since you killed them?” asked Mo Xiaolang.

“What else could I have done? If I hadn’t scared them enough, they would’ve continued harassing us. Plus, I have a huge grudge against Beitang Mo. I had to kill him!” said Long Chen with a bitter smile.

“But it’s fine. As long as you get the inheritance, you will be someone the Ninth Prince protects. No one in Yuanling City will touch you,” said Mo Xiaolang.

Long Chen understood this too. That was why he knew that getting the inheritance was of utmost importance.

“There’s no sense of direction in the Burning Heaven Secret Realm. Where should we go?” Looking at the barren, endless expanse, Long Chen felt frustrated. It was only black soil and continuously burning flames. There was no inheritance to be seen.

Mo Xiaolang had no ideas.

“Let’s do it this way. There seems to be some difference in the denseness of the flames. We will head towards the place with the densest flames.” Long Chen finally found some difference after observing for a long time.

Mo Xiaolang agreed, as he had no other opinions.

They walked for about an hour. During this time, the only thing they gained was the realization that the flames’ densities were irregular. Some places had more flames, some less. That was a normal phenomenon.

“Looks like I guessed wrongly.” Long Chen didn’t know what to say.

“Big Brother, I sense the aura of a Moon Devouring Wolf,” Mo Xiaolang suddenly said. Then, following the aura, he traveled ahead across the black soil.

“Moon Devouring Wolf? There are Moon Devouring Wolves here?” If there were clues of live beasts, they might find something there. Long Chen hurried after him.

It was a mountainous region nearby. Both of them treaded lightly and very soon, they found a valley below. They stretched their necks to peer down and coincidentally saw about six beasts running past!

They were large, wolf-type beasts with silver fur. They looked beautiful beneath the moonlight, and a dreamy light flowed within their faint, silver eyes, shrouding them in an air of mystery. However, the sharp fangs protruding from their lips and powerful limbs hinted that they were fierce animals.

“Indeed, they are Moon Devouring Wolves.” Long Chen and Mo Xiaolang had encountered them before.

“The Moon Devouring Wolf is a strange animal because it’s a devouring-type beast; therefore, it has the ability to ascend levels. These wolves have devoured something strange though,” mumbled Mo Xiaolang.

“Strange? Can you tell me more?” Long Chen was interested. In their fundamental forms, Blood Transmutation and the Blood Devouring Domain were also devouring-type skills.

“The Moon Devouring Wolf. Based on the name, you might assume that they devour the moon, though that would obviously be too dramatic. In reality, Moon Devouring Wolves can absorb moonlight, which is similar to how humans cultivate. An average wolf is a Category One Black-tier when it matures, but as it increases in age, reaching Categories Two, Three, or even Five is possible. This is how they differ from other beasts. As for the wolves that passed us just now, three of them are Category Two Black-tiers,” explained Mo Xiaolang.

“While that is impressive, if Category Five Black-tier is their maximum, then they are nothing to be afraid of. It’s a pity that moonlight is a weak resource. If they could absorb other things, then they could become a truly powerful presence,” said Long Chen. Devouring-type beasts had always been rare. It was likely that the Moon Devouring Wolves were the only ones with that ability in the whole Cangyang Kingdom.

When Long Chen was in the Desolate Beastlands, he killed a Constellation Demon Wolf, which could also absorb starlight. But it was different from a Moon Devouring Wolf. The Moon Devouring Wolf consumed moonlight and turned it into demonic power, while the Constellation Demon Wolf absorbed starlight to increase the hardness of its fur.

“There is a beast that fits that description. I’ve only seen them in books though, and they have probably been extinct for a long time,” said Mo Xiaolang.

“What beast is that?” Long Chen froze.

“It’s closely related to the Moon Devouring Wolf, called the Sun Devouring Wolf. It is a fire-type demonic beast through and through, and true to its name, it can consume sunlight. Not just that, it can consume anything related to fire and turn it into demonic power for itself. According to legends, Sun Devouring Wolves can grow to become apex predators and still continue their boundless growth, though they can’t be found in any records.” Mo Xiaolang was truly impressed by the Sun Devouring Wolf.

“Boundless growth?” Long Chen drew in a sharp breath. Boundless growth meant that as long as it had enough resources, it could be truly extraordinary. Fortunately, there were laws of nature that would never let such a powerful being exist.

“Right, if the Moon Devouring Wolf starts as a Category One Black-tier, what does the Sun Devouring Wolf start with?” asked Long Chen.

“According to the books, a matured Sun Devouring Wolf should be at Category One Earth-tier. However, apparently, becoming a Category Nine Earth-tier is also possible.”

Long Chen nodded.

“Big Brother, the Moon Devouring Wolves we saw just now looked like they were in a hurry. If we follow them, maybe we’ll make a discovery,” said Mo Xiaolang.

Long Chen thought about it and agreed. Instead of walking around blindly, they should try their luck. So they headed in the direction that the wolves had run towards, traveling cautiously.

They ran faster than the Moon Devouring Wolves, so less than fifteen minutes later, they saw the butts of the wolves. The duo tailed them from far behind, but after a while, they were shocked to find more and more wolves gathering, also traveling in the same direction.

To avoid attracting the wolves’ attention, Long Chen and Mo Xiaolang had no choice but to hide themselves and sneak up carefully.

“Big Brother, why do you think there are so many Moon Devouring Wolves heading in the same direction?” asked Mo Xiaolang, puzzled.

“Look at their gazes.” Long Chen thought of a possibility and was excited.

“What?” Mo Xiaolang couldn’t figure it out.

“There’s only one thing in their eyes—worship,” Long Chen answered. Then continued with excitement, “Xiaolang, I have a feeling that something shocking will be revealed ahead of us. What do you think these wolves worship?”

Mo Xiaolang’s eyes brightened.

They moved forward carefully as the pack of Moon Devouring Wolves grew larger and larger. There were now more than a thousand wolves ahead, densely packed together. They ran through fire, howling without reservations like a wave crashing ahead unobstructed. It was a terrifying sight.

About half an hour later, Long Chen sensed a suffocating aura ahead.

All the Moon Devouring Wolves leaped high up and into a gigantic crater. Long Chen and Mo Xiaolang quickly hid themselves, carefully peeking out from behind a boulder.

They saw tens of thousands of Moon Devouring Wolves gathered in the crater. They crouched with their front limbs bent, laying on the ground with reverence and loyalty in their eyes as they gazed at the center of the crater.

Long Chen and Mo Xiaolang looked at the center. That was the source of the immense pressure they were feeling. When they saw the gigantic, black figure, Mo Xiaolang exclaimed in shock. Thankfully, he covered his mouth in time and did not attract attention.

“Big Brother, it’s a Sun ... Sun Devouring Wolf!”
