Devouring Evolution: I Reborn as an Arctic Wolf Chapter 1744 - 981: Breaking Into the Tenfold Heaven
Previously on Devouring Evolution: I Reborn as an Arctic Wolf...
This ancient star beast bore a striking resemblance to a celestial roc!
Upon its chest was a stellar system emblem identical to the one "Nightmare" possessed.
However, while "Nightmare" had refined a standard stellar system, this celestial roc appeared to have refined a formidable one at its late stage or absolute peak.
The sheer magnitude of starlight and star energy radiating from it possessed a power that completely eclipsed the Radiant Sun Star!
A river of time flickered occasionally within the celestial roc’s gaze.
Surging across its back were the five supreme rules: gold, wood, water, fire, and earth.
Even without a single thread of energy circulating through its form, the refined rules engraved upon its body were vast enough to suppress a half-step taboo expert!
Yet, the most breathtaking sight remained those wings, which seemed capable of blotting out the stars and the sun itself.
Though these wings appeared simple and unadorned, every feather scale was etched with profound and intricate patterns. To look upon them was to see a myriad of stars surrounding the heavens!
A single flower, a world; a single leaf, a bodhi!
Su Lin felt exactly that sensation as he gazed at the wings that obscured the cosmos.
It was this very realization that transformed Su Lin’s solemn expression into one of pure shock!
He had encountered this feeling before in the Wild Mountain Range of the Purple Brilliance Star Core.
At that time, alongside the Master of Venus, he had used a potent forbidden artifact to secure those wings that could shatter the countless stars of the firmament!
"Peng Emperor!"
Su Lin never imagined that the trials of crossing ten heavens would bring him face-to-face with the Peng Emperor!
This was a supreme overlord who had self-proven taboo. Su Lin was merely ascending ten heavens; was such a trial truly just for tempering?
But as this thought crossed Su Lin’s mind,
The stellar system on the Peng Emperor’s chest, the temporal river in its eyes, the elemental rules on its back, and the cosmic power within its wings all vanished instantly.
Yet, even with only the raw strength of its physical body remaining, Su Lin felt an infinite pressure weighing down on him.
Boom!
As the refined energies faded, a slight tremor of the Peng Emperor's wings allowed it to tear through the river of time, charging directly at Su Lin.
With a thunderous roar, Su Lin met the collision head-on.
Despite the Peng Emperor using only a body devoid of internal energy, Su Lin was sent flying, and jagged cracks spiderwebbed across his wolf form.
It was far too overwhelming!
If Su Lin’s physical toughness hadn't been approaching a level beyond a half-step taboo, that single impact would have shattered him into pieces!
Before he could recover, another lethal strike from the Peng Emperor’s body arrived.
Without any specific techniques, innate talents, or even "force," every blow seemed capable of erasing all known laws.
Su Lin unleashed a long howl and activated his Light Protection Talent, only for it to be crushed into stardust.
"Ah!!! Peng Emperor! I respect you as a senior, but do you think a mere manifestation can push me to the brink?"
Covered in wounds, Su Lin’s ferocity and fighting spirit erupted.
He was an emperor who had risen from mountains of corpses and seas of blood.
How could he accept that his battle strength, forged through countless hardships, would be useless against the Peng Emperor’s physical form?
"Kill! The end of force!"
Regaining his balance, Su Lin launched a counterattack. He ripped through the void with an invincible, sinister regal power, aiming straight for the Peng Emperor’s head!
However, the attack was intercepted by the Peng Emperor’s wings.
Even without the power of a self-created micro-cosmos, those wings naturally possessed the ultimate mastery over space.
Breaking through the defense of those wings with rule-based secret techniques was an almost impossible task.
Boom!
The collision of space rules and the vibration of Qi and blood made it seem as though the starry sky was facing an apocalypse.
Yet, such a devastating assault only managed to leave a tiny fracture on the Peng Emperor's wing.
Puff!
In exchange, Su Lin was struck by the other wing, and half of his body was pulverized.
Boom!
Even with half his body gone, Su Lin gnashed his teeth. He began reconstructing his form while simultaneously continuing the desperate struggle against the Peng Emperor’s manifestation.
The Peng Emperor’s body was not only capable of suppressing eternity through Qi, blood, and strength, but its combat instincts were also peerless, leaving Su Lin no room to breathe.
This forced Su Lin to lose himself entirely in the brutal combat, even contemplating the use of his Extreme Heaven Realm Secret Technique Killing Move.
But the moment the thought occurred, strands of Mysterious White Cloud flooded his body and Soul Sea, unexpectedly sealing the power of his Extreme Heaven Realm Talent.
To his horror, Su Lin soon discovered that it wasn't just that specific talent being restricted; every one of his talents was being suppressed, except for Healing Talent, Light Protection, and Wan Silence Mandate Earth!
It seemed the trial was forcing Su Lin to rely purely on his physical frame, defense, and recovery to survive against the Peng Emperor.
"Is this intended to temper my physical body?"
Su Lin realized the truth quickly, noting that if the Peng Emperor’s form wasn't so terrifyingly strong, even his healing and defensive techniques might have been sealed away.
Boom!
In that brief moment of distraction, the Peng Emperor’s killing blow landed. A single claw shattered half of the wolf’s head.
Brains, crimson blood, and bone fragments sprayed violently across the dark expanse of the starry sky.
