Chapter 382: Chapter 341: Wu Hao

The cracks grew denser and deeper.

Moments later, a cluster of grayish-white mist seeped from the fissures. It slowly unfurled in the air, much like a newly awakened cub stretching its limbs. Then, a pair of pale amber vertical pupils opened within the mist. Filled with the characteristic bewilderment and clarity of a newborn, they stared straight at Anton through the thin haze.

The mist slowly gathered and condensed, gradually revealing a small silhouette. A wolf cub walked out from within.

Its shoulder height only reached Anton’s knees. Its slender, sturdy limbs were covered in a layer of short silver-gray fur that shimmered with a faint, cold light in the twilight, looking like the physical manifestation of frost mist under the moonlight. Its paws landed silently; every step carried an innate lightness. Its tail was bushy like a broom with the tip slightly curled upward. Along its edges, a faint wisp of mist occasionally dispersed before immediately retracting.

The little fellow stood in place for a moment. It then took a few wobbly steps toward Anton, raised its head, and gently nudged his foot with its wet nose. At that moment, Anton felt a thin sliver of Intention extend from its body, softly and warmly attaching to his Divine Sense. It contained unreserved closeness and reliance.

A faint smile appeared on Anton’s face. He reached out and rubbed the cub’s head, prompting it to let out an enjoyable whimper. Witnessing this scene, he finally confirmed his suspicions.

In ancient times, there were numerous Divine Creatures, and the Wolf Race was no exception. Each possessed unique abilities. There was Frost Bite, which mastered the Frost Law, breathing cold air that froze even the earth wherever it passed. There was Night Shadow, which mastered the Shadow Law, capable of leaping and traveling between shadows. There was Void Fang, which mastered the Power of Space Splitting, its claws and fangs capable of tearing through space itself. And the list went on.

The various signs this cub had shown before its birth—the mist patterns on its shell, its elusive aura, its ever-changing silhouette, along with its recent ability to transform into mist—all strongly resembled a legendary Divine Wolf.

Wu Hao. The Divine Wolf that could control and transform into mist.

Among the Divine Wolves of the ancient era, Wu Hao was considered one of the very best. Its abilities were versatile, excelling in both offense and defense. Whether executing stealthy ambushes or engaging in head-on clashes, it was extremely difficult to deal with. For Anton, successfully hatching such a Divine Creature was undoubtedly a remarkably pleasant surprise.

After a brief moment of joy, Anton looked down at the Wu Hao, who was gently rubbing its nose against his boot, and suddenly recalled the Blood Claw Race’s Blood Claw Project.

Among the Divine Wolves, there was an entity named Blood Claw. Bloodthirsty and brutal, it was a predator that struck terror into the hearts of countless living beings in ancient times. When he first heard of the Blood Claw Project, Anton had guessed whether it was related to Blood Claw itself. After all, a project requiring an Essence Soul as a core material and named Blood Claw made it hard not to associate it with the legendary creature.

Perhaps the Blood Claw Race held an Egg of the Old World belonging to Blood Claw, and their collection of Essence Souls was purely to resurrect it. Thinking deeper, even the Blood Claw Race’s name might have originated from that Divine Wolf. If that were truly the case, the so-called Blood Claw Project probably harbored massive ambitions.

Despite this, Anton didn’t have many concerns. Even if the Blood Claw Race actually hatched Blood Claw, it wasn’t a big deal. Didn’t he now have a Wu Hao? When it came to the methods of nurturing Divine Creatures, Anton was confident he far surpassed the Blood Claw Race. After all, he had the backing of the Taoist Jade Scroll, which provided him with countless methods.

While he was lost in thought, the cub at his feet suddenly gave his robe a gentle nip, looking up at him with a low whimper. Anton snapped back to reality and smiled. Pushing his thoughts aside for now, he placed his hand on the cub’s head.

"Little guy, I’ll call you Wuyin from now on. Come on, let’s go test your abilities."

Anton turned and headed toward the Cultivation Field. Wuyin trotted along right beside his feet, its silver-gray tail gently swishing behind it.

The man and the wolf had just arrived at the Cultivation Field when a series of whooshing sounds rang through the air. The Great Elder, the Third Elder, Eleanor, Romance, Cedric... over half of the Clan’s higher-ups had arrived.

Just moments ago, they had suddenly sensed an unfamiliar, powerful aura appear within Taichu City. Alarmed and bewildered, they rushed over immediately. Seeing Anton present, the group of Elves visibly relaxed. However, when they spotted Wuyin closely following at his feet, they collectively revealed expressions of shock and confusion. In their perception, the source of that unfamiliar, powerful aura was astonishingly this incredibly petite wolf cub.

Eleanor reacted the fastest. "Could this be the Divine Creature hatched from the Egg of the Old World?"

She had previously heard Anton mention the resurrection and hatching of the Egg of the Old World. Seeing a creature she had never encountered before, yet possessing such a formidable aura, she immediately made the connection.

The other Elves also realized this and curiously looked toward Wuyin. After all, it was a Divine Creature. It was a legendary existence that would possess Demigod Tier power upon reaching adulthood, and at its peak, could even rival a Divine Spirit. In the past, they had only read descriptions of Divine Creatures in ancient texts. They never expected to witness one with their own eyes.

Romance leaned in curiously and reached out to touch Wuyin, but the cub nimbly dodged with a light leap.

"GRRR!"

The little fellow bared its fangs at her in warning. With divine blood flowing through its veins, it possessed one of the noblest bloodlines in this world.
