Devouring Evolution: I Reborn as an Arctic Wolf Chapter 1754: 986: Arrival at the Ten Thousand Demon System

“Exert your maximum effort regarding this situation. In the end, power is the only thing truly honored, no matter what forces are at play. Should the Demon Star Lord actually achieve a breakthrough to Half-step Taboo, the Demon Emperor’s Son will find it impossible to maintain his status indefinitely, even if he manages to secure it for the time being!”

Following a brief deliberation, this spiritual will was finally broadcast by the strongest of the Undead Holy Sect.

This sentiment serves as the most authentic reflection of reality within the Dark Starry Sky.

In this realm, character, virtue, seniority, and lineage are secondary; value and raw strength are the primary metrics.

The inherent life value varies across different species.

While the Demon Emperor’s Son and the Demon Star Lord might possess equal life values, the chasm in life value between a Peak Heavenly Venerate and a Half-step Taboo is astronomical.

This disparity is precisely why such a spiritual will was issued!

“However, judging by the intelligence, the Demon Emperor’s Son does not share this perspective. Given the massive price he paid to recruit us, he has likely resolved to use martial force to purge the Demon Star Lord should he fail to win politically!”

Su Lin reached this verdict after analyzing the intelligence reports currently in his possession.

After all, the data suggests that the Demon Emperor’s Son is far from being a simpleton!

By seeking the assistance of the Heavenly Destiny Clan, he wasn't merely looking to leverage their reputation, but was also laying the groundwork for the physical elimination of the Demon Star Lord.

Consequently, this mission was shaping up exactly as Su Lin had suspected: it would far exceed the debt of gratitude he owed to the “Unspeakable.”

In fact, the scope of the task surpassed that favor significantly.

Entering the internal power struggle of a formidable Star Nebula Great Clan is a dangerous endeavor; even with his own combat prowess and that of the Undead Holy Sect’s strongest, a clean escape would be difficult.

Every powerful Star Nebula Great Clan possesses tens of thousands of foil-level destruction devices.

Many of these are even specialized one-directional or taboo-level foil killing devices!

Su Lin must maintain a level of respect and caution toward such catastrophic weaponry!

As for the idea of him and the Undead Holy Sect’s strongest acting as mere strategists? That was likely the least important goal of their employer.

It is unlikely that the demon kings, generals, and tacticians serving the Demon Emperor’s Son are incompetent.

If they lacked intelligence, they would be unable to manage a Level 5 Late Stage Stellar System like the Ten Thousand Demon System, let alone engage in external conquests and power plays!

“Hmph! Taking direct action requires a completely different price. Do they truly believe it is simple to assassinate a Half-step Taboo who commands genuine military authority and has spent years in the crucible of war?”

The strongest of the Undead Holy Sect grasped the situation immediately, letting out a sharp, cold snort.

A clear sense of resentment toward the “Unspeakable” was beginning to manifest.

During their previous assignment, what started as a simple interception of high-level resources escalated into a direct confrontation with taboo existences, leaving several investors wounded.

Now, with this mission clearly surpassing its original parameters, his frustration was unavoidable.

Nevertheless, he made no mention of abandoning the task.

Regardless of how the situation shifted, they had accepted the contract and were obligated to see it through.

The representatives of the “Unspeakable” might project an image of fairness and politeness, but they would quickly reveal the ruthless, predatory nature of a cutthroat business syndicate if crossed.

Shortly thereafter,

Following another brief conversation, Su Lin and the strongest of the Undead Holy Sect both entered a state of deep meditation to focus on their Cultivation.

For beings at their level of power, utilizing every available second for Cultivation had become a natural instinct.

Su Lin followed suit.

While he did not require the tedious progression and insights needed by lesser species, he still had to refine his understanding of secret techniques, talents, emergency measures, and the Truth of Dimensions.

Furthermore, Su Lin remained committed to merging Wan Mo Life Earth and Light Protection into a singular, superior Defense Secret Technique.

This Heavenly Boundary Defense Secret Technique was destined to vastly improve Su Lin’s ability to withstand damage.

Throughout his travels, including his time with the strongest of the Undead Holy Sect, he had encountered several Half-step Taboos.

Yet, none of them possessed a Defense Secret Technique at the Heavenly Boundary level.

Most techniques of that caliber were designed as last-resort measures for survival rather than consistent self-protection.

As he remained immersed in meditation and insight, time slipped away.

…..

The Space-Time Altar controlled by the strongest of the Undead Holy Sect was a top-tier model.

Each short-range jump spanned tens of billions of kilometers.

Despite this incredible speed, traversing the immense void to reach the Ten Thousand Demon System still required millions of individual transfers.

This serves as a testament to the staggering scale of the starry sky.

Su Lin had initially underestimated the velocity of the Star Sky Altar.

He had previously crossed over nine thousand light-years from the Purple Radiance Nebula to the Blazing Nebula in just a few years!

Thus, the Star Sky Altar’s teleportation speed was likely sufficient to pierce through the River of Space-Time itself.

By the time they reached this stage of their journey on the Space-Time Altar, several centuries had quietly passed.

In the grand scheme of the vast universe, a few hundred years is negligible.

To many great powers, such a duration is nothing more than a momentary blink.

However, within the contested borders of the Ten Thousand Demon System, those hundreds of years had only served to heighten the tension, leaving the region thick with the scent of impending war and conflict.

Looking toward the Xi He region of the Blazing Nebula, a purple star now shone with an incredibly brilliant and dazzling light.
