Chapter 1 The Beginning

"Great Shaman, what do you want to do? Are you mad? He is my wolf cub, the future royal seed!" Kosa, the chieftain of the Black Wolf Tribe, roared. With a wolf howl, the surrounding wolf guards quickly surrounded him.

The black-robed Great Shaman raised his skull staff, his body filled with chilling baleful aura. He said in a sinister tone, "The royal seed in the Chieftainess's womb is already dead. It has been invaded by an evil spirit and has now transformed into an evil spawn."

"Kosa, forgive me."

"I must end it, or it will bring disaster to the Great Wilderness and become an enemy of the Holy Temple."

Kosa rebuked, "Bullshit Holy Temple! This is my wolf cub. Whoever dares to take its life, I will tear them apart!"

Dangerous light emanated from his eyes as he bared his teeth and growled.

The surrounding wolf guards also closed in, glaring fiercely at the black-robed Great Shaman.

"Is the Black Wolf Tribe rebelling? Seeking to become an enemy of the Holy Temple?"

The black-robed Great Shaman was furious, trembling, maggots falling from his eye sockets, wriggling on the ground in a horrifying sight.

Kosa laughed angrily, "Our Black Wolf Tribe has risked life and limb for the Holy Temple, how many tribal warriors have bled beyond the borders, unable to return home? Wolf King Bark died a hero's death, Wolf King Barton died in battle. But what has the Holy Temple done for us, besides enslaving us, demanding tribute, and more tribute?"

"We have long been fed up with your damned Holy Temple!"

The black-robed Great Shaman smiled sinisterly.

"Chieftain Kosa, you have finally spoken your mind. But I can give you a chance to atone for your sins, strangle the Chieftainess with your own hands, and end the evil spawn in her womb."

Kosa sneered, "You, a running dog of the Holy Temple, shut your stinking mouth! You have no right to order me!"

The black-robed Great Shaman's aura instantly turned cold.

"Die—!"

He roared, and the skull staff in his hand lashed out, a beam of white light striking towards them.

"Boom!"

Wherever the white light passed, the sharp energy severed everything. Ancient trees that ten people could embrace were instantly cut off, carrying a fierce killing intent as it swept towards the giant wolves of the Black Wolf Tribe.

This was a mage's staff bestowed by the Great Wilderness Holy Temple, containing the power blessed by the elders of the Holy Temple, incredibly terrifying.

"Ancestral Artifact, come—!"

Kosa roared, biting his wolf claw and using blood to outline runes in the void.

"Buzz."

The Black Wolf Tribe's ancestral artifact flew out from the Great Shaman's sleeve and landed in front of Kosa.

It was a red tooth.

Refined from the fangs of the Black Wolf Tribe's most powerful ancestor, it contained the ancestor's power.

The black-robed Great Shaman's expression changed. He thought he had already controlled this ancestral artifact of the Black Wolf Tribe, but he had miscalculated.

"Boom!"

The ancestral artifact emitted a blazing flame. Within the flame, a wolf shadow roared, clashing with the white light of the skull staff, creating a violent explosion.

The black-robed Great Shaman staggered backward, his expression shifting.

In Kosa's hands, this ancestral artifact unleashed an unparalleled power, far greater than the power it had in his hands.

A fiery greed blazed within his heart.

"No wonder you are an ancient and long-lived race. Even though you are now withered, your glory gone, you are still feared and envied. No wonder the elders of the Holy Temple ordered me to destroy your Black Wolf Tribe."

He spoke the truth.

Kosa and the members of the Black Wolf Tribe were both angry and sorrowful. They had risked their lives for the Holy Temple, but their fate had long been sealed.

"You want to destroy our Black Wolf Tribe? I'll tear you apart first!"

Kosa howled like a wolf, his scarlet eyes filled with savagery. He stood upright, one front leg broken, but the other leg was intact, grasping the ancestral artifact wolf fang, urging the terrifying power of the flame, and charged towards the black-robed Great Shaman.

The black-robed Great Shaman snorted coldly, wielding the skull staff in a fierce battle. Wolf guards tried to surround him, but the staff's light blade swept across, splitting them all in half.

Just then.

The she-wolf Kexiya suddenly cried out miserably.

Kosa looked back and saw that the white-robed Holy Master was pulling a blood-stained sword from Kexiya's chest. The sword's light extended for dozens of meters, and his face wore a ferocious and cruel smile.

All the surrounding wolf guards were dead, silently killed by him.

"Cough cough, injured, the sword isn't sharp enough, actually made her make a sound!"

The white-robed Holy Master laughed mockingly, sticking out his tongue to lick the blood on the blade.

"Kexiya!!"

Kosa's eyes were about to split, and he let out a painful howl, but he saw the white-robed Holy Master raise his sword again, stabbing down at the child in Kexiya's womb.

"No, Li Yao, my wolf cub!"

Kosa wanted to kill his way back, but the black-robed Great Shaman raised his skull staff and launched a powerful attack, the white light like a moon blade, slashing over.

"Quick, kill the evil spawn in her womb!" The black-robed Great Shaman urged the white-robed Holy Master, panting, he was about to be unable to withstand the furious Kosa.

A cruel smile flashed in the white-robed Holy Master's eyes, the cold light of the sword blade flashed, stabbing down, but the sword missed.

Kexiya was not dead, and she moved her body with the last of her strength, protecting the child in her womb. Then, her fangs and sharp teeth opened and closed, biting the white-robed Holy Master's leg.

"Release your mouth!"

The white-robed Holy Master screamed in pain, dragon scales manifesting on his leg, blocking the fangs, while frantically waving his sword and slashing at Kexiya's body, the sword's light spitting out dozens of meters, cutting her wolf claws and leaving trails of blood on her body.

But she just wouldn't let go.

Her wolf mouth was tightly biting the white-robed Holy Master's leg, her eyes looking at the unborn child in her abdomen, full of a mother's love, as well as endless regrets and longing.

"My wolf cub, my child, Li Yao, mother is about to die, come out quickly, let mother see you one last time... I don't believe you are an evil spawn!"

She prayed in her heart, her eyes filled with endless longing, her vision gradually blurring, about to die.

The white-robed Holy Master's face twisted, full of cruel, hysterical roars:

"What child, what wolf cub, it's just an evil spawn, go to hell—!"

The long sword in his hand stabbed towards Kexiya's belly, the sword's light piercing.

Just then.

"Poof~"

Kexiya's abdomen felt a sharp pain and contracted, as if something was drilling out. The speed was too fast, only a black shadow was seen flashing past, and the white-robed Holy Master holding the sword staggered and fell to the ground, his eyes full of disbelief.

"Bang."

He fell to the ground, a bloodstain on his neck, cut by sharp claws, blood bubbling out.

And in front of his corpse, stood a wolf shadow, standing upright, more than five meters tall, not tall or short compared to the other wolf cubs in the Great Wilderness, but its aura was too terrifying, gloomy and frightening.

Like a hellish evil spirit.

Covered in black fur, somewhat sticky and messy because it was newly born, but this did not affect its temperament, making people fearful and howling to the sky, its voice carrying a king's majesty.

The surrounding wolves tucked their tails between their legs, making a sound of submission.

"Wolf cub, my child..."

Kexiya muttered excitedly and weakly.

It heard the sound behind it, turned its head, and saw a pair of pale white eyes, the pupils were all white, without any emotional color, very cold, and naturally exuding a fierce light.

"A white-eyed wolf... my wolf cub is actually a white-eyed wolf, a Great Wilderness alien species!"

Kexiya was excited and delighted, her eyes full of pride.

White-eyed wolves are born with cataracts, but as long as they survive, they will become white-eyed wolf kings!

Kexiya believed that her wolf cub did not have cataracts, otherwise how could it have accurately killed the white-robed Holy Master just now? Such speed, such strength, and it was just born!

"Wolf cub, remember, your name is Li Yao, you are the son of Kosa, the chieftain of the Black Wolf Tribe, your mother's name is Kexiya, you are the hope of our Black Wolf Tribe, the royal seed of the Great Wilderness!"

Kexiya weakly instructed, her loving gaze fixed on the wolf shadow in front of her.

The wolf shadow crouched down, its pale white eyes exuding a fierce light. It spoke for the first time, its voice a somewhat unaccustomed hoarseness: "You are my mother, but my father is not Kosa, his name is Zhang Ji!"

It was gifted with extraordinary talent, able to speak as soon as it was born, causing Kexiya to feel shocked and delighted.

Perhaps, this was the extraordinariness of a royal seed!

But what it said caused Kexiya's eyes to widen in a sudden flash of clarity.

"Zhang Ji?!"

This was a strange name, she had never heard it before, and she could guarantee that she had never had any relationship with him.

She was a chaste and virtuous Chieftainess, and even during heat, she would restrain herself, and if it was really unbearable, she would take care of it herself, and would not cheat.

"Who is he? Wolf cub, don't talk nonsense!"

"I'm not talking nonsense, my father's name is Zhang Ji, great and invincible, he gave me life and allowed me to come into this world. I will fight for him on the continent, devour living things, release evil, and harvest all living beings... Roar—!"

It let out a majestic and powerful wolf howl, shaking the forest.

In the distance, the black-robed Great Shaman saw this scene, his expression changing drastically.

"The evil spawn has been born! Kexiya, Kosa, you will become the sinners of the Great Wilderness, cursed by all spirits, let me kill it—!"

He shouted, coughing up blood and launching a powerful attack, the skull staff shining brightly, like a great sun.

The opposite Kosa looked solemn, hurriedly taking a step back, waiting in readiness.

But suddenly.

"Swoosh!"

The skull staff wrapped around the black-robed Great Shaman, turning into a large stream of light and disappearing.

"The Holy Temple will punish you, wait for death..."

The vast voice echoed in the forest.

And at this time.

Thunder rumbled in the void, lightning streaked across the sky, and a devastating aura surged.

The wolf shadow suddenly raised its head, filled with excitement, fervor, and worship, and said, "Look, this is my great father breaking through, he is advancing to become an Ancient Beast!"
