Chapter 943: Chapter 4999: Eighth Life: Striking a Deal, Mountain Wolf Pack! (Part 2)
Compared to the two of them, Lu Yuan remained indifferent.
Having experienced countless reincarnations, he had witnessed the vicissitudes of the cosmos and experienced countless tales of joy and sorrow, as well as tragic and heartrending events.
Though the sibling bond between Lin Hao and Lin Xuan was sincere, it rarely stirred any significant emotions within Lu Yuan.
Two days later.
Under Lin Hao’s guidance,
Lu Yuan and his group ventured deep into the inner area, encountering multiple fierce beast attacks along the way.
The most perilous of these was when two Nirvana Nine-Realm Great Demons suddenly lashed out, plunging everyone into a desperate situation.
Fortunately, Lu Yuan’s divine thought was strong, and his reactions extremely quick. After a fierce struggle, he managed to kill those two Great Demons.
Having witnessed the dangers of the inner area firsthand, Lin Hao felt a lingering fear, grateful that he had made the right choice.
If he had stubbornly insisted on taking Lin Xuan to the Dragon Transformation Pool, they might not have gone far before turning into corpses.
After a long and perilous journey, the group finally arrived at the foot of a snowy mountain without incident.
"Is this the location of the Dragon Transformation Pool?"
Lu Yuan looked up at the mountain peak and murmured.
This mountain soared several thousand feet high, covered in snow from the halfway point, draped in a white, silvery mantle.
The snowy mountain appeared tranquil, but Lu Yuan could sense several powerful auras lying dormant upon it.
These auras were fierce and violent, even stronger than the Nirvana Great Demons.
"The Dragon Transformation Pool can draw Earth Vein Spirit Marrow to condense into Spirit Liquid, so it is often located among towering mountains."
"However, on this snow mountain resides a pack of snow wolves. These snow wolves are powerful, capable of controlling snowstorms, and the pack includes several Nirvana Great Demons."
Lin Hao spoke with a complex tone.
Previously, he had come here with Lin Xuan, but the snow wolf pack’s interference prevented them from approaching the Dragon Transformation Pool.
"A snow wolf pack, huh?"
Hearing all the information, a flash of understanding appeared in Lu Yuan’s eyes.
"I’ll go up alone; you all stay here and wait for me."
He waved his hand, setting up layers of barriers before heading alone up the snowy mountain.
After all, Luo Xin and the others were of average strength. Bringing them along wouldn’t help; it would only distract him with concerns for their safety.
Under Luo Xin and the others’ gaze, Lu Yuan transformed into a fleeting shadow, quickly disappearing into the snowy woodland.
He ascended swiftly, covering hundreds of feet with each step, and soon approached the mountainside.
But at that moment,
Lu Yuan paused, holding his breath, using spiritual power to seal his pores, striving not to emit any movement or aura.
Because not far ahead,
A snow wolf as large as a calf, with snow-white fur over its entire body, was lying in the snow, voraciously devouring a Human Race corpse.
Judging from the Human Race corpse, it seemed the person had been deceased for quite some time, their body frozen stiff, with terror and despair still etched on their face.
Despite the corpse being frozen into an ice sculpture, the snow wolf’s teeth were incredibly sharp, easily tearing off chunks of flesh and savoring them as if munching on beans.
"I’ll deal with this snow wolf first."
To avoid alerting other beasts, Lu Yuan circled widely, approaching quietly from behind while the snow wolf was relaxed.
"Swish!"
The Cyan Frost Sword was unsheathed.
Before the snow wolf could react, its body was cleaved open by a sharp sword gleam, covered instantly by a chilling cold, dying in a heartbeat!
After dispatching the snow wolf, Lu Yuan didn’t linger and continued racing towards the mountain peak.
However, the closer he got to the Dragon Transformation Pool, the more frequent the traces of the snow wolf pack’s activities became.
Especially from Lu Yuan’s observation, the wolves’ den was right next to the only path to the summit, impossible to circumvent.
"Since I can’t bypass it, I’ll just force my way through from the front."
He wielded the Cyan Frost Sword, swiftly dispatching several snow wolves.
But being so close to their den, no matter how cautious he was, he inevitably made some noise.
Meanwhile,
A snow wolf king, its power equating the Nirvana Perfection Realm, was resting deep within the den.
Upon sensing the disturbance, it immediately perked up its ears, letting out a long howl skyward.
"Awooo!"
The howl, low and resonant, echoed throughout the snow mountain.
Before the sound faded,
dozens of snow wolves dashed out from the den, charging towards Lu Yuan!
Though these snow wolves were of ordinary power, mostly at the Soul Palace Realm, their collective assault still posed a significant distraction to Lu Yuan.
Moreover, around the periphery of the snow wolf pack were several gigantic snow wolves, their terrifying auras watching him with piercing vigilance, ready to launch a fatal strike at any moment.
But what Lu Yuan feared most was that snow wolf king standing at a distance.
Compared to ordinary snow wolves, this snow wolf king’s fur was even purer white and glossy.
Its wolf eyes were as red as blood, glimmering with an intelligent light, as sly as a human’s.
When it appeared,
A terrifying pressure superior to all living things erupted, engulfing the place like a stormy sea, exerting significant pressure on Lu Yuan.
Clearly, this wolf king seemed to have had some fortuitous encounter, its power far exceeding a typical Nirvana Great Demon, barely inferior to the Thousand-year-old Ink Flood Dragon.
"Human, this is not a place for you!"
The snow wolf king spoke in human tongue, its blood-red eyes fixing sharply on Lu Yuan, trying to deter him from advancing further.
But Lu Yuan was determined to reach the Dragon Transformation Pool; how could he retreat halfway?
"Kill!"
Given the situation, there was no turning back.
Lu Yuan’s body flickered, breaking through the snow wolf pack’s encirclement to suddenly appear before the snow wolf king.
Then,
He slashed the Cyan Frost Sword in his hand, like a galaxy hanging inverted, directly towards the snow wolf king’s head.
The slash was chillingly fierce. If it landed, even the wolf king’s tough flesh body would be cleaved in two.
But in that critical moment, the snow wolf king suddenly roared, creating visible ripples in the air that slowed Lu Yuan’s actions!
Fortunately, Lu Yuan’s divine soul was strong, and he quickly regained composure after a momentary daze.
But in the flash of an eye, the contest among experts could determine the outcome.
During Lu Yuan’s brief distraction, the snow wolf king was already upon him.
Leaping at Lu Yuan with its sharp wolf claws gleaming with a cold light, seemingly capable of tearing the void itself.
In the rush,
Lu Yuan had no time to counterattack and could only concentrate on protecting his core, visualizing Vajra, and relying on his flesh body for defense.
"Rip!"
The sharp wolf claws swept past.
Lu Yuan felt a stabbing pain as he realized his flesh body, tougher than Vajra, had been scored with several deep wounds down to the bone.
"This snow wolf king is indeed extraordinary, possessing a spiritual secret technique that attacks the divine soul?"
Lu Yuan retreated, his expression grave.
It was well known.
The Demon Race might have tough, resilient flesh bodies, but their divine souls were generally weaker compared to Human Race cultivators.
Yet this snow wolf king not only moved agilely, like a bolt of lightning, but its divine soul was also exceptionally strong, putting Lu Yuan at a disadvantage!
Fortunately, the Vajra Fist not only had fierce attack power but also accelerated healing.
Though Lu Yuan was inflicted with some gashes, a deep breath allowed him to quickly seal the wounds, stopping further bleeding.
"Again!"
With the previous lesson in mind, Lu Yuan became more cautious.
However, this snow wolf king towered over him by a full Great Realm, and with dozens of snow wolves continually disturbing him, it was hard to focus.
If it had been another Human Race prodigy, even the Third Prince of the Great Li Royal Family might have fallen amidst the snow wolf pack’s assault.
But Lu Yuan, having reincarnated through many lifetimes, had battle experience unmatched by ordinary people.
After a fierce skirmish,
he finally relied on his superb swordsmanship to slice off the snow wolf king’s head!
