So without a moment’s delay, the tense atmosphere that had originally filled the air dissipated once again.

And as the tense atmosphere faded away, the heat inside the cave intensified once more.

Boom!

A surge of heat that could rival the Rule of Fire transformed into a dragon, bursting out of the cave!

“Awooo!”

“Hiss!”

...

“Roar!”

“Chirp!”

…..

The chaos forced the top Exotic Beasts and higher-ups of the Wolf Pack in front of the cave to frantically dodge amidst shrieking and howls.

However, this fiery dragon, deliberately controlled, headed straight for the Holy Spirit, Azure Cloud Sparrow, and Blood Bat King, swiftly pinning them to the spot!

Boom!

It stirred up countless dust particles and energy fluctuations!

“Peep!”

“Squeak!”

Even as the Azure Cloud Sparrow and Blood Bat King cried out, pledging their loyalty to the Wolf King within the cave and explaining their previous actions,

only the Holy Spirit, still with a stern expression, used the Golden Rule to endure the heat without uttering a word.

Boom!

Therefore, the heat targeted at the Holy Spirit grew even hotter by several degrees, threatening to roast and deform the Golden Jade Body formed by the Golden Rule around it.

“Roar!”

The pained howls of the Holy Spirit echoed in front of the Wolf Pack Cave.

But not a single Exotic Beast in the Wolf Pack showed even a hint of sympathy in their eyes.

It was clear to everyone that this was the Wolf King’s punishment for their recent actions!

It also made all the Exotic Beasts realize that even while the Wolf King was in the midst of ascending, he still had the surplus power to suppress everything with ease!

Boom!

As time passed, the heat dragon’s waves grew stronger and stronger, with the cries of the Holy Spirit, Azure Cloud Sparrow, and Blood Bat King turning from pain to misery, and finally to piercing agony.

It was as if the spirits from the Netherworld beneath the Nine Serenities were enduring unimaginable torment in Hell.

The scorched pain wasn’t something just anyone could bear.

Before long, after more than an hour had passed,

forget the heat inside the cave, even the heat in front of the cave had reached tens of thousands of degrees Celsius, a temperature that could cause catastrophic damage to Apocalyptic Level Exotic Beasts.

This forced the top Exotic Beasts of the Wolf Pack to quickly retreat tens of thousands of meters.

Moreover, the squashed Azure Cloud Sparrow, Blood Bat King, and even the Holy Spirit all had their bodies scorched to the point that thick blood oozed out.

This blood soon covered their entire bodies, turning them into blood-colored Exotic Beasts.

The blood, rich with Origin Power, helped them withstand some of the scorching pain, but their vitalities were still at rock bottom.

Especially the Azure Cloud Sparrow and the Blood Bat King, who were clearly on the verge of collapse.

What all the Exotic Beasts didn’t realize was that if the heat dragon that emerged from the cave could reach such a temperature, what then was the Wolf King inside the cave facing?

At this point, the scorching currents inside Su Lin’s body had reached hundreds of thousands of degrees Celsius, a temperature that could rival the intense heat generated by a nuclear explosion in an instant.

Such a temperature caused Su Lin so much pain he was nearly driven to madness!

His wolf body, which had originally held explosive strength, now became weak and powerless, with only a single thread of determination in his mind enabling him to suppress the three Exotic Beasts outside and to concentrate on forming his avatar!

Soon, after about half an hour of this intense burning sensation, all the scorching currents flowed from every limb and bone of the wolf body towards the sternum.

The sternum was originally Mystic Bones, the place with the strongest defensive power!

Once the limit was broken, the energy and the Rule Power that the breastbone could store would far exceed what was possible before!

But the agony of breaking limits was so intense that Su Lin had no time to feel joy; he could only struggle to endure relying on his formidable willpower and obsession.

In the midst of holding on, his breastbone and the surrounding flesh, cells, and tendons all underwent dramatic metamorphosis, beginning to break through their original upper limits.

In Su Lin’s eyes, the Limit-Breaking Serum was equivalent to a Genetic Metamorphosis, forcibly transforming the organs, flesh, and bones that originally belonged to the Ancestral Species level to another level.

Having used the Limit-Breaking Serum before, Su Lin knew that both the Talent Category Limit-Breaking Serum and the Body Limit-Breaking Serum lasted a very long time.

As he endured with his willpower and obsession, he had no idea how much time had passed.

All the refurbished facilities in the Wolf Pack Cave were completely destroyed.

Even though these equipment materials were made of the most cutting-edge substances, they still could not withstand the high temperature of several hundred thousand degrees Celsius.

This temperature could destroy everything!

And Su Lin seemed like a blazing furnace in the cave; he had wanted to leave the cave, but the excruciating pain brought by the extreme high temperature meant he couldn’t move an inch and only a sliver of obsessiveness remained.

The three avatars had already been reshaped, and these avatars were stronger than the previous ones.

Because not only were they infused with five streams of energy, but also this ultimate heat, making the avatars seem naturally imbued with the Rule of Fire.

Finally, after several more hours, not until the sky outside was so dark that you couldn’t see your hand in front of your face, did the heat begin to fade away.

The scorching airflow completely flowed into the breastbone, which now bore Milky Way patterns of the Origin Divine Form,

The Milky Way, as it flowed in strands and streams, seemed to contain vast Divine Might.

Compared to the Origin Divine Form, however, the starry pattern on the breastbone wasn’t very clear, somewhat blurry and indistinct.

Still, Su Lin could feel a warm surge of energy flowing from his breastbone.

It’s just as his consciousness gradually became clear again that two pale grey messages appeared before his eyes.

“Congratulations! Breastbone limit-breaking successful; the River of Star Souls is awakened.”

“Congratulations! Limit-Breaking Serum (Body) limit-breaking successful, Vitality Value +15000, Strength +500, Endurance +500, Defense +1200.”

Upon seeing these pale grey messages, Su Lin finally felt that the torment was not suffered in vain!

The bonus from the successful breastbone limit-breaking was equivalent to advancing two levels in a row, especially the defense increase of 1200, which greatly enhanced Su Lin’s injury resistance in life-and-death battles.

In the current Dark Doomsday Era, every additional point in attributes meant a better chance of survival.

After fully recovering, Su Lin also retracted the five diverted forces, as well as the external energy suppressing the Azure Cloud Sparrow, Blood Bat King, and Holy Spirit.

As for the three severely wounded Exotic Beasts that were roasted outside, whose bodies had melted a lot, he just gave them a cold glance before looking away.

Every cause has its effect.

Initially, Su Lin did not punish the Grassland Wolf King and the Cold Cicada King because they did not harbor any real killing intent.

But just now, while using the Limit-Breaking Serum, he genuinely sensed a hint of murderous intent from the Azure Cloud Sparrow, Blood Bat King, and Holy Spirit.

Even though this killing intent was well hidden and fleeting, it did not escape Su Lin’s strong senses.

So they deserved this fate!

Should there be a next time, it would not just be a punishment; he would take their lives!

In the Wolf Pack, Su Lin did not fear his members making mistakes in a moment of folly,

But some mistakes, once made, could be fatal!

“Boom!”

At that moment, a surge of powerful Spiritual Soul Force flowed out, then violently smashed the severely wounded three Exotic Beasts onto a heightened platform, as if they were engraved upon it.

The beasts, already with their skin and flesh torn open, had their blood and bits of meat splattered.

And from the now-stabilized atmosphere and temperature of the cave, it almost seemed as if it were silently mocking the thoughts that had just crossed the minds of the three Exotic Beasts.

….

Standing before the fierce tiger, he looked at it as coldly and emotionlessly as if it were a dead body, without a ripple of feeling.

A dense aura of danger enveloped the entire body of the Invincible Fierce Tiger, causing the already faintly breathing tiger to gasp for air as cold as ice, feeling as if it were the fish on the White Wolf’s chopping board, the notion pushing the tiger’s mentality to the brink of collapse. The Invincible Fierce Tiger didn’t understand why the White Wolf didn’t just kill him outright but instead expended energy to bring him back to the Land of Adventure from beneath the ice. This fear of the unknown surged in the tiger’s mind, but at this moment, the weakened beast had absolutely no power to resist; even its internal panic was futile in the Land of Adventure—the territory of the White Wolf.
