Devouring Evolution: I Reborn as an Arctic Wolf Chapter 1725 - 972: The End of an Era (Part 1)

"Kill! I shall carve a bloody path for you! Flee if you can!"

Led by the Hao Ri Ancestor, a thunderous roar erupted as a group of veteran members prepared for a final stand. Having survived centuries of the Super Star War, those who remained were the true elite of the Radiant Sun Tribe.

Even when relying solely on their battle formations, their desperation fueled an extraordinary courage.

They went as far as tearing through the defensive lines established by several Star Nebula Great Clans.

Ultimately, with the conclusion already decided, these Star Nebula Great Clans were reluctant to waste their military strength or energy just to halt the remnants of the Radiant Sun Tribe. Their focus was fixed on the wealth, massive fortunes, overwhelming star power, exotic flora, and the various heavenly and earthly treasures belonging to the Radiant Sun Tribe.

"Charge! Followers of the Black Gold Demon Apes, join me in sealing this path! The future Wolf Lord will surely grant us even greater rewards!"

In the end, it was the Black Gold Demon Apes who led the charge, rallying scattered warriors to violently collide with the final counter-offensive of the Radiant Sun Tribe.

Despite this, many survivors of the Radiant Sun Tribe managed to break through, fleeing toward the nebula layer in an attempt to escape the confines of this world's system.

Following the fall of the Lord of the Radiant Sun, the providence of the entire Radiant Sun Tribe had shattered and vanished, leaving the planet trembling on the edge of total destruction. Every soul knew that this land no longer belonged to the Radiant Sun Tribe!

Only by escaping could they find a flickering hope for survival.

Among the refugees was the youngest son of the Lord of the Radiant Sun!

This Ninth Son of Hao Ri, having only recently attained the Venerable Level and never having stepped onto a true front-line battlefield, was witnessing the reality of interstellar conquest and the nature of an endless death battle for the very first time.

While his conduct on the field was considered acceptable, the conflict would undoubtedly leave a permanent shadow and trauma upon his soul.

It remains unknown how many years it will take for the sole surviving son of the Lord of the Radiant Sun to emerge from this trauma.

In truth, he will likely never escape its shadow for the rest of his life!

Once the remnants of the Radiant Sun Tribe had breached the lines, the rest of the Radiant Sun Star was left completely vulnerable!

The Wolf Civilization Army and the various Star Sky Great Clans moved swiftly to seize and consume the planet's most fertile resources.

As months passed, the only territory the Radiant Sun Tribe managed to hold was the site of the Destiny Stone.

This location had once served as the headquarters for the Radiant Sun Tribe, the most prosperous and resource-heavy region for the entire race.

More than a dozen defensive positions were stationed here. In the past, even after the Heizi Tribe had attacked for tens of thousands of years until their makeshift branches were nearly spent, they had failed to conquer it.

But now, this formerly invincible headquarters lay in ruins, devastated and choked with piles of corpses.

Even the once-unrivaled defensive lines were now riddled with breaches and holes.

This decay occurred because the fortune of the Radiant Sun Tribe had collapsed, cutting off access to star power, with only about two to three hundred billion remaining!

Nevertheless, they still commanded at least two hundred million formidable Heavenly Boundary troops.

A desperate final stand could still result in heavy casualties across all fronts.

This was the reason why, even after invading the Radiant Sun Star, it took several months to finally crush this stubborn resistance!

At this moment, Emperor Hao Ri had already achieved a breakthrough to become a genuine Peak Heavenly Venerate!

Within just a few thousand years, he had consecutively crossed the thresholds of Peak Venerable and Peak Heavenly Venerate, turning himself into a legendary figure even within the Blazing Nebula.

His achievements had certainly eclipsed those of the top-tier Star Sky Geniuses.

However, there were no species left here to observe or revere his success.

The members of the Hao Ri Army Group standing beside him looked upon him with numb, hollow gazes.

By this point, every soldier in the Hao Ri Army Group understood that the Radiant Sun Star was lost, and the fall of their headquarters was only a matter of time.

Thus, they were kept going only by obsession, resentment, and the empty numbness that follows the loss of all spiritual hope.

Emperor Hao Ri gripped a long sword that barely reached the Heavenly Boundary level. Over the past months, he had lost count of the Wolf Civilization Exotic Beasts and members of the Star Nebula Great Clans he had slain. The Heavenly Boundary sword was now marred with numerous nicks and fractures.

As he watched the growing ranks of the Wolf Civilization Army, the Star Nebula Great Clans, and the billions of former Radiant Sun Tribe members who had surrendered, his eyes remained empty of emotion, reflecting the same hollow void as the soldiers behind him.

There was no way out!

Death here was their only destiny!

Yet their pride and the dignity of their former status as overlords compelled them to fight unto death.

But, just as they resolved to perish on this ground,

and as the Wolf Civilization Army assembled the Undying Cockroach Clan, the Corpse Worm Clan, the Direct Lineage Army Group, the Star War Army Group, the Wandering Army Group, the Reserve Army Group, and even the surrendered Hao Ri Military Group to finish off this final resistance,

a sudden, ink-dark mandate of rules—imposing and saturated with dimensional truth—sliced through the heavens. It tore through the nebula layer of the Radiant Sun Star and reappeared above the battlefield.

Accompanying this mandate of rules was a massive Heavenly Seal, which, though heavily fractured, had not yet completely collapsed!

Upon its arrival, it exploded with a terrifying force!
