Chapter 1020: 594: The Chance to be a Dog for the Wolf Pack.

Chapter 1020: Chapter 594: The Chance to be a Dog for the Wolf Pack.

The black sable rat was suffused from head to toe with extraordinarily dense Time-Space Rules.

Its mastery over Time Rules surpassed even Jiang Qingfeng’s own.

Beyond that, Jiang Qingfeng could sense an overwhelming Soul Rule emanating from this black sable rat, as if capable of annihilating everything.

The enigmatic Spiritual Soul Force, combined with the unparalleled intricacies of Time-Space Rules—Jiang Qingfeng, no matter how foolish he might be, instantly realized who the creature before him was.

Meanwhile, the black sable rat standing several miles away in mid-air had also noticed Jiang Qingfeng. Its small, gleaming black eyes quietly fixed their gaze upon him.

After a moment of silent confrontation, the black sable rat let out a cry.

The sound was piercing and carried immense power; even separated by several dozen miles, it caused the human ace forces behind Jiang Qingfeng—deprived of the Fortune Formation’s reinforcement—to feel as if their heads were about to explode.

“Buzz!”

Only when Jiang Qingfeng reluctantly activated his sword’s sharp edge, emitting a clear sword hum, did he manage to neutralize the sound wave that directly targeted the Divine Souls.

As he was about to muster the last reserves of his energy and fight the black sable rat to the death, the creature showed no signs of aggression.

Instead, it emitted a Spiritual Will, signaling for a conversation high in the skies.

This prompted Jiang Qingfeng to leap into the air.

Regardless of whether one has reached Half-Step Supreme Sovereign Boundary or merely King Level, anyone could soar through the air by harnessing Origin Power.

Thus, both the Black Demon Mink and Jiang Qingfeng—these two Half-Step Supreme Sovereign Peak entities—only took moments to ascend to an altitude of several million meters.

Now, suspended in mid-air, the Black Demon Mink and Jiang Qingfeng exchanged glances. Suddenly, an exceptionally intricate Time-Space Barrier materialized around them, severing all external methods of surveillance.

From there, the pair negotiated for a long time.

By the time the noon sun transitioned into sunset and eventually rose again the next day, Jiang Qingfeng remained motionless, suspended in the air.

The Dragon Elder’s direct grandson, originally determined to fight to the death by the Yangtze River Bank, had still not encountered the Theological Alliance’s pursuers!

Not to mention any pursuers from the Theological Alliance, even traces of the Evil Mandala’s avatar or the South American Alliance’s armies were nowhere to be found!

Jiang Qingfeng cast a faint glance at the human army stationed by the Yangtze River Bank. His bloodstained face revealed an exceptionally forlorn smile.

With a deep inhale, this once unyielding elite of humanity finally bent the knee.

Hovering in mid-air, he bowed deeply to the Black Demon Mink before carefully saying, “Alright, I hope you won’t go back on your word. I’ll entrust the humans under my command to you. Treat them well—each one is an elite. They… will make good dogs for the Wolf Pack.”

Jiang Qingfeng’s words, reminiscent of those uttered by the Dragon Elder’s heir, were spoken with forced calmness—yet they still trembled.

For such a man, even one at Half-Step Supreme Sovereign Boundary, to lose control of his physical functions was enough to suggest the gravity of what they had discussed.

After concluding the talks, Jiang Qingfeng didn’t even take another look at the humans below. He turned around and, like a beam of light, flew northward.

This man, who had fought bloody battles for a month and carried the hopes of the Dragon Country’s survival, feared that seeing them again would make him hesitate, even regret his decision!

Yet deep in his heart, he knew that continuing a hopeless, aimless struggle would be far worse than accepting the Wolf Pack Civilization’s overtures.

At least the Wolf Pack Civilization had demonstrated their goodwill.

Over a full day had passed, and three factions’ pursuit had been blocked by undercover agents carefully placed by the Wolf Pack within the Dragon Country!

If the Wolf Pack could fend off these armies, it showed their capacity to protect the human survivors.

“Being a dog… what’s so bad about it?”

As Jiang Qingfeng flew like a streak of light, these words spoken by the Co-Lord of Kunlun Mountain to him resurfaced in his mind.

His expression still carried a trace of bitter sorrow.

Should anyone from the outside, human or beast, witness this moment, they would find it hard to believe. This man—a bastion of the Dragon Country, who had battled relentlessly for nearly a month and slain countless humans and beasts alike—now appeared resigned.

Jiang Qingfeng had always been known for his unyielding integrity and breezy elegance.

But today, his words defied all conventions among species.

Jiang Qingfeng’s decision to head north again marked the Wolf Lord—or perhaps the Black Demon Mink—granting him a genuine opportunity to exact revenge and prove his worth.

The outcome of the next battle would determine how these human survivors would be treated within the Wolf Pack Civilization!

As for Jiang Qingfeng himself, he was indifferent to life and death at this point.

Since the moment he walked out of the Kunlun Mountains, he’d considered himself a doomed man.

Thus, surviving until now already felt like he’d profited.

Yet above all else, the Wolf Pack had offered him the chance for true revenge!

He would ensure that Mo Haiqing and the vermin who willingly served the Theological Alliance died in regret!

Jiang Qingfeng’s hatred for these Dragon Country traitors surpassed even his animosity toward the Theological Alliance!

If not for these turncoats, imagine the Dragon Country—three billion soldiers ready for battle, seventy thousand miles of boundless destiny—how could it have collapsed so quickly?

Harboring this resentment, Jiang Qingfeng soon shed the bitterness in his eyes and sped toward the former Northern Border Defense Line of the Dragon Country!

….

At this moment, the Northern Border Defense Line had already erupted into war once again!

After the humanoid shadow delivered the Northern Desert Sandworm King’s head to the Heavenly Fox King in Burial Cow Valley, coupled with Maimed Ear’s severe injuries, the Wolf Pack Coalition roared to life!

Their towering bloodlust—unstoppable even by fox-tail algae—forced an all-out campaign!

The Wolf Pack Civilization’s wildness was inherently untamable; only the Wolf Lord could suppress them through sheer force, no one else!

The Dragon Country’s Northern Border Defense Line, barely gathering respite in recent days, faced another unprecedentedly brutal clash!

However, this collision was even more ferocious than the one between the Northern Desert Sandworm and the Cold Cicada Twin Clans!

The Wolf Pack’s coalition, boasting a staggering two million troops, far outclassed the individual combat strength of the sandworm and cicada clans.

This time, the Wolf Pack Coalition included nearly two hundred ancestral species, along with twenty of the most powerful apocalyptic-level entities, focused squarely on the former Northern Border Defense Line of the Dragon Country.

“Screech!”

At the forefront, the Rock Thunderbird led elite forces from the Land of Adventure, launching devastating assaults.

The Rock Thunderbird, once second only to the Lone Wolf King in the Land of Adventure, had long recovered its strength and achieved the rank of strongest apocalyptic-level being, surpassing even Maimed Ear.

Its forces, composed entirely of monster-grade exotic beasts, displayed formidable combat prowess, despite only bearing the destiny gathered from the sands of Burial Cow Valley.

The Wolf Lord’s A-rank Fortune Formation reached its peak, unleashing chaos across the Northern Border battlefield.

Meanwhile, the Theological Alliance had redirected their border defenses, deploying their great army to retaliate.

Their strongest apocalyptic-level entity, Undying Worm, commanded a million elite troops, clashing bloodily with the Rock Thunderbird.

Undying Worm’s ferocity even exceeded the Rock Thunderbird’s.

In the Theological Alliance, the marginalized Undying Worm had long understood that failure to prove its battlefield worth this time would lead to an end far worse than death.

Within the alliance, aside from the Left and Right Protectors, only the Deity had favored lackeys—not frontier generals!

Even the once-renowned Godspeed Golden Eagle had been calculated into a deadly trap by the Deity.

If Godspeed Golden Eagle hadn’t defied the odds to live a second life, it would have been no more than yet another battlefield corpse!

“Hiss!”

“Screech!”

The clash of these desperate opponents ignited violent energy surges in the sky, each collision akin to the detonation of a miniature nuclear weapon.

Beyond the battle between Rock Thunderbird and Undying Worm, the struggle across the human battlefields raged just as fiercely.

The Black-striped Wolf and Fox Wolf, as the most dominant wolves present, relentlessly focused their assault on the Theological Alliance’s ally, the White Elephant King.

Both beasts sought vengeance for Maimed Ear!

Fox Wolf, in particular, had nearly become Maimed Ear’s mate during the reign of the Wolf King’s mating rights, their relationship closer than any other wolf among the apex beasts.

Though lacking world-defying fortune, Fox Wolf relied on the resources of Iceland Holy Land and rewards from the Wolf Lord to ascend to the rank of strongest apocalyptic-level.

“Howl!”

“Howl!”

“Moo!”

Their cries reverberated across this battleground!

Two wolves hunting an elephant!

Their bloodthirst reached its pinnacle, while the Black-striped Wolf’s unmatched mastery over Life and Death Rules began extracting the immense, overwhelming vitality of the White Elephant King.

If drained enough, this entity—already poised to ascend Half-Step Supreme Sovereign—would lose nearly all its strength!

Kill!

Elsewhere, Cold Cicada King squared off against Mo Haiqing.

Mo Haiqing had no need to appear on the frontlines as Co-Lord of the Northern Border Army.

But with his billions of elite soldiers nearly annihilated, he no longer possessed any leverage over the Deity and could only resign himself to become the Deity’s obedient dog!

A dog that could be ordered, beaten, or berated without daring to resist!

In summary,

The battlefield now featured soldiers confronting soldiers, generals battling generals!

The conflict had completely obliterated an area spanning thousands of miles, with towering mountains collapsing and once-majestic walls buried beneath carcasses crumbling to rubble.

Throughout these bloody skirmishes, even fox-tail algae descended to the battlefield.

Alongside the humanoid shadow, they engaged in mortal combat at an altitude of tens of thousands of meters. Yet even fox-tail algae hadn’t anticipated that the humanoid shadow’s strength had grown far beyond what it was during the Wolf Pack Civilization’s ascension.

As battles raged, fox-tail algae finally discerned the humanoid shadow’s true form hidden beneath layers of light!

It was a strange entity, bearing eight colossal wings, a humanoid physique, and an eagle-like head—but its true state shocked fox-tail algae profoundly.

The eight wings were riddled with gory holes, while a massive wound pierced through its chest as though some terrifying being had ripped out its heart. The once-proud eagle head was shattered, half of its skull reduced to fragments, leaving brain matter still oozing after countless years.

Such grim appearances, though not uncommon in the Era of Hegemony, unmistakably indicated that the humanoid shadow had once fought a battle so savage it nearly cost its life.

This proved that the humanoid shadow wasn’t a creature reliant solely on cunning to dominate. It was also a being forged from the carnage of corpse mountains and blood seas!

“Fox-tail algae, where is your vast divine form? What of your so-called indestructible true spirit? Today, let’s settle this once and for all. Show me what your heavenly fox king of the Wolf Pack Civilization truly amounts to!”

Suspended high in the skies, the humanoid shadow wielded Space Rules to their zenith, channeling a force that nearly suppressed all three of fox-tail algae’s transformative rules!

The battle had reached its peak intensity between the two!

Yet both the humanoid shadow and fox-tail algae knew—they could not escape this clash.

Today, one of them was fated to die here.

But the ever-present unease eating away at fox-tail algae stemmed from its intuition sensing a looming danger—a monstrous entity hidden nearby that could engulf heaven and earth in an instant!

The shadow’s intent was clear; it aimed to utterly cripple the Wolf Pack Civilization through this single strike!
