In the Withered Sea Abyss, Emperor Xiang Xiang and her hundred-strong wolf clan fought against the relentless onslaught of tendrils.
The Withered Wood Wolves had seemingly gathered in great numbers for this occasion. Their strength, boosted by the mating season, put Xiang Xiang's wolves at a severe disadvantage, making the battle increasingly dire.
Moreover, more and more Withered Wood Wolves continued to gather, their numbers swelling.
The sky was filled with tendrils, each one carrying a terrifying green glow. Sword lights flashed, occasionally severing a few tendrils, but there were simply too many. For every tendril cut, thousands more took its place.
Facing one or two Withered Wood Wolves, even five, the elite wolves of Xiang Xiang's pack wouldn't be afraid. But here, they faced an overwhelming number of tendrils, enough to block out the sun.
"Swish!"
One wolf clan mber's arm was suddenly entangled by a tendril. In an instant, more tendrils wrapped around his legs and other arm, immobilizing him despite his celestial cultivation.
"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!"
The wolf clan mber scread in agony as a tendril pierced through his abdon. The brutal combat left him unable to defend himself, and another strike would an certain death.
"Boom!"
A trendous explosion of white light erupted, shattering the tendrils binding the wolf clan mber.
He was saved.
"Thank you, Supre!" he groaned in pain.
It was evident that the white light had co from Xiang Xiang. She had rescued the wolf clan mber in his mont of peril.
"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!"
Another scream echoed from a distance. Xiang Xiang's eyebrows furrowed as she struck a wolf clan mber, sending him flying out of the Withered Wood Wolf sea.
Her powerful blow was not ant to harm but to propel him to safety.
In an instant, the wolf clan mber soared into the sky, escaping the sea of Withered Wood Wolves.
"Supre!" the injured wolf clan mber expressed his gratitude.
In his heart, he felt a newfound determination. Three years ago, he had pledged allegiance to Xiang Xiang, recognizing her as his Supre. But now, in this mont of life and death, as Xiang Xiang gave him the chance to escape, he completely embraced her as his Supre.
Deeply moved, the injured wolf clan mber glared at the Withered Wood Wolves.
"Withered Wood Wolves, you better not harm the Supre. Otherwise, I will destroy your clan!" he vowed fiercely.
In the distance, another figure flew out—another wolf clan mber rescued by Xiang Xiang.
This wolf clan mber was also injured, having faced the sa perilous situation inside.
Once out, he too felt imnse gratitude towards Xiang Xiang and beca even more devoted. Only those who have faced life and death understand who truly matters most.
One by one, wolf clan mbers were rescued, but Xiang Xiang had not yet erged.
Jiu Laotou watched anxiously from the side.
"Where is Emperor Xiang Xiang? Why hasn't she co out yet?" Jiu Laotou asked one of the rescued wolf clan mbers.
"She will co out soon! The Supre will definitely make it out!" The remaining wolves shared the sa anxiety, silently praying for Xiang Xiang.
Before long, almost all the wolf clan mbers had been rescued, but Xiang Xiang was still inside.
Countless tendrils filled the sky, making it impossible to see the interior of the battlefield. Occasionally, through tiny gaps, a glimpse of a white figure could be seen continuously fighting the Withered Wood Wolves.
That figure was Emperor Xiang Xiang!
The intense battle continued, with countless tendrils being severed and exploding, but many more remained—too many.
Was Emperor Xiang Xiang trapped?
The rescued wolves were filled with anxiety. They wanted to rush back in but knew it would be futile; they couldn't get through, and most of them were already injured. Going back would only burden their Supre.
What to do? What to do?
"Jiu Laotou, you were right. There is indeed danger," a wolf clan mber said in pain.
"I've already notified the Holy King. I hope he can arrive in ti!" Jiu Laotou said.
"From so far away, how is that possible?" the wolf clan mber said despondently.
"Let's hope Emperor Xiang Xiang can hold on a bit longer!" Jiu Laotou shook his head.
"The Supre will surely make it. She will be alright!" The wolf clan mbers clung to their hope.
On another mountain peak.
Among the group from the Wuxiang Holy Court, the Third Prince held the Love Seed Talisman, watching the vast battlefield in the distance.
Through so gaps, they could catch glimpses of the battle within.
"Third Prince, will Emperor Xiang Xiang be alright?" an official asked worriedly.
"With the bloodline of the Wolf Ancestor, she won't die. The strongest Withered Wood Wolf King is only at the peak of the Great Immortal stage. As long as it's not an Ancient Immortal, Emperor Xiang Xiang will be fine, although she might suffer," the Third Prince said.
"But this is during the Withered Wood Wolves' mating season! Their strength has surged!" another official pointed out.
The Third Prince frowned and thought for a mont, then said, "Hmm, don't worry. I'm watching. Besides, I can't implant the Love Seed Talisman into Emperor Xiang Xiang right now."
"Why not?"
"Emperor Xiang Xiang still has strength left. She can dodge it. We need to wait until she's exhausted and can't avoid it. Once the Love Seed Talisman is implanted, I'll save her!" the Third Prince said seriously.
"A hero saving the beauty, combined with the Love Seed Talisman, Emperor Xiang Xiang won't be able to escape the Third Prince's grasp!" an official flattered.
The Third Prince smiled evilly.
In the center of the black lake, Emperor Xiang Xiang fought against the endless tendrils.
Having sent her elite guards to safety, Xiang Xiang was now bearing the full brunt of the Withered Wood Wolves' attacks. More and more tendrils, filled with domineering power, assailed her.
Despite the overwhelming number, Emperor Xiang Xiang was confident she could break through. She was significantly more powerful than these tendrils, even if they were densely packed.
But suddenly, a blood-red tendril whipped towards her.
The blood-red tendril moved too fast, like a flash of lightning, reaching Emperor Xiang Xiang in an instant. Her pupils contracted as she swung her golden longsword.
With a loud clash, Emperor Xiang Xiang's attack failed to sever the blood-red tendril.
More blood-red tendrils appeared instantly—dozens of them.
It was the Withered Wood Wolf King. The hideous Withered Wood Wolf King had joined the fray.
"Withered Wood Wolf King, you seek death!" Emperor Xiang Xiang shouted angrily. Her golden longsword danced swiftly, producing terrifying sword light.
"Boom! Boom!"
The explosive sounds were deafening. Emperor Xiang Xiang's sword moved incredibly fast, but the blood-red tendrils were just as quick, each one faster than the last. Moreover, the tendrils were imbued with bloodlust, and with each clash, it seed as if drops of blood were spilled.
In the blink of an eye, Emperor Xiang Xiang was covered in blood, making her appear even more enchanting.
Countless tendrils filled the sky, weaving a net around her. Xiang Xiang could easily destroy ordinary Withered Wood Wolves, but facing the Withered Wood Wolf King was much more difficult. Without the interference of other Withered Wood Wolves, Xiang Xiang could outlast the Withered Wood Wolf King, but the current situation was extrely unfavorable for her.
After an hour of fierce fighting, Xiang Xiang's right wrist was caught by a blood-red tendril.
In the black lake, the hideous face of the Withered Wood Wolf King displayed a smug smile.
Even Xiang Xiang's longsword couldn't cut through the blood-red tendrils. Now, how could she escape?
A myriad of blood-red tendrils surged towards Xiang Xiang from all directions. In this critical mont, if Xiang Xiang were struck by the blood-red tendrils, she would be severely injured. But there was no way to escape.
Outside, the tendrils shifted, revealing a gap.
"Emperor Xiang Xiang is restrained!" an official exclaid in delight.
The Third Prince wouldn't miss this opportunity. With a wave of his hand, the talisman in his grasp turned into a stream of light and shot through the gap in the tendrils. Just as it entered, the gap closed again.
"Good, everyone, charge in with !" the Third Prince shouted excitedly.
anwhile, the wolf clan mbers, seeing Xiang Xiang's wrist bound by the tendrils, were horrified. But within a mont, the gap closed again, obscuring their view.
"What do we do? How will I explain this to the Holy King?" Jiu Laotou fretted.
Inside, a dozen blood-red tendrils sped towards Xiang Xiang with terrifying speed. The Withered Wood Wolf King watched in anticipation.
Xiang Xiang was trapped! She looked at the Withered Wood Wolf King with disgust. It was too hideous, more repulsive than any tree, with decayed, ugly bark and a misshapen form.
Despite her predicant, Xiang Xiang showed no signs of panic. Instead, she put away her golden longsword.
A black map suddenly appeared behind her. As it materialized, a red light shot into it. The black map flashed and reappeared in front of Xiang Xiang, shooting a red beam at the Withered Wood Wolf King.
The blood-red tendril binding Xiang Xiang's wrist was severed.
In an instant, Xiang Xiang disappeared from her spot.
The red beam struck the Withered Wood Wolf King, causing its body to stiffen. It appeared confused but imdiately searched for Xiang Xiang.
The next mont, Xiang Xiang reappeared, held in the arms of a man dressed in imperial robes. She looked blissfully happy, her arms wrapped around the man's neck.
Then, in a flash, they moved with an eerie speed, darting through the gaps in the sea of tendrils. They moved so quickly that even the Withered Wood Wolf King was left in disbelief.
From another direction, a group of people charged in. The Third Prince, filled with excitent, led his subordinates in a powerful assault into the sea of tendrils.
