Devouring Evolution: I Reborn as an Arctic Wolf Chapter 1768 - 992: Promotion of Swapping Bases! (2)

"When the Demon Emperor’s Son begins his inspection of the outer vassal towns, I expect you to be at the forefront of the charge if any chaos erupts. However, do not deliver a killing blow; simply perform some feints!"

Su Lin spoke with a composed demeanor.

This arrangement was possible because the Heavenly Ghost shared the same interests as him. Betrayal was out of the question, as both were backed by a truly terrifying existence.

If the Heavenly Ghost were to intentionally ruin the mission when success was within reach,

Su Lin was certain that the "Unspeakable" would make him understand the agonizing cost of such an action.

Consequently, the Demon Emperor’s Son and the Heavenly Ghost formed an unbreakable alliance bound by mutual benefit.

"Understood. Rest easy; I will ensure your satisfaction when the moment arrives. Once this objective is met, I will be able to clear many of my debts!"

The Heavenly Ghost sent back a confident reply through spiritual will.

Following this, he and his thirty thousand formidable black-robed undead joined the retinue of the Demon Emperor’s Son.

.....

Several months passed,

The Demon Star Lord received intelligence from his hidden agents.

"The Demon Emperor’s Son has actually requested a half-step Taboo from the Heavenly Destiny Clan for protection this time? Does he lack faith in us, or is he planning to incite trouble? Perhaps the Eastern Demon Emperor and I should remain behind!"

An incredibly massive and strangely flat entity transmitted this spiritual will.

He was the highly unusual Western Demon Emperor.

"Very well. Keep a sharp eye on the Demon Emperor’s Son. If anything goes wrong, intervene at once!"

The Demon Star Lord did not waver, even entrusting the Emperor’s robe to the Western Demon Emperor as a precaution.

If a half-step Taboo were to strike, even the combined might of the Western and Eastern Demon Emperors would need the Extreme Heaven Realm Emperor’s robe and top-tier lethal artifacts to hold them off.

Regarding his own safety, the Demon Star Lord harbored little concern.

He carried the very destiny and fortune of the Ten Thousand Demon System; thus, even within the system's core, no one could truly end his life.

Before long, both the Demon Star Lord and the Demon Emperor’s Son departed their respective territories to begin campaigning in each other's strongholds.

This was destined to be a brutal struggle.

Yet, the eyes of both leaders burned with unshakable resolve.

No creature that ascended to such a high rank was either weak or dim-witted!

As the Demon Star Lord entered the nebula layer, he intentionally guided his chariot to pass near the Demon Emperor’s Son. At that precise moment, his suffocating half-step Taboo aura was fully unleashed!

A master of fire, the Demon Star Lord’s violet flames engulfed a vast section of the firmament, resembling a cosmic sea of fire intended to cow the universe itself.

But even with the powerful Qi-blood of the Demon Emperor’s Son, he could not rival a half-step Taboo.

When their Dragon Chariots crossed paths, the disparity was obvious.

After a brief look at the Demon Emperor’s Son, the Demon Star Lord turned away and descended into the nebula layer.

Ultimately, it was the Heavenly Ghost who released his own ancient and terrifying half-step Taboo aura, allowing the exotic beasts who had been dazed by the Star Lord to recover their senses.

Even so, the overwhelming aura of the half-step Taboo left a permanent scar on the minds of all who felt it.

"Our congratulations to the Star Lord for attaining the half-step Taboo realm! May the Ten Thousand Demon System flourish once more!"

The secret operatives planted by the Demon Star Lord long ago began broadcasting waves of spiritual will in a grand celebration.

This collective spiritual will, paired with the Star Lord’s staggering half-step Taboo presence, swayed many exotic beasts and factions within the nebula layer.

In an instant, the celebratory mood swelled like a massive tide.

Within this surge, subtle verbal strikes against the Demon Emperor’s Son were hidden, aiming to completely undermine his influence in the nebula layer!

"The Star Lord has reached half-step Taboo and has fought on the front lines for years. How could his wisdom be less than the Emperor’s Son? His call for peaceful coexistence must be the correct path!"

"Indeed! Has the Emperor’s Son ever truly bled in battle? He is merely a sheltered flower relying on his father's status! Giving him power would only lead to reckless militarism and ruin our system!"

"The Star Lord is second to none! I shall give my vote to him!"

.....

At this juncture, the Demon Star Lord utilized his half-step Taboo status perfectly. With his followers fanning the flames, spiritual messages favoring him and discrediting the Demon Emperor’s Son spread rapidly from the center.

Still surveying the system from his chariot, the Demon Star Lord wore his battered, pre-Extreme Heaven Realm war armor, his eyes filled with grim determination.

His presence was as monumental as a mountain peak.

This image of a battle-hardened commander only served to validate the propaganda being spread in his favor.

Consequently, the hearts of the exotic beasts and various powers watching from the nebula layers began to tilt toward him.

....

Standing before the fierce tiger, Su Lin looked down at the creature as if it were a mere corpse, his gaze icy and devoid of any emotion.

A crushing sense of peril instantly gripped the Invincible fierce tiger. The tiger, already breathing shallowly, began to gasp for air, feeling like a fish pinned to a butcher’s block by the White Wolf. This sensation nearly broke his spirit; he could not fathom why the White Wolf had spared him only to drag him from the ice to the Land of Adventure. Fear of what was to come boiled in his heart, but in his broken state, he was powerless. Within the White Wolf's domain, any struggle was meaningless.

Su Lin scrutinized the fierce tiger with the indifferent eyes of a high master inspecting a newly acquired slave.

"Awoo—" Su Lin let out a low howl to the nearby Wolf Clan, commanding them to haul the dying Siberian Tiger away and keep him under strict guard.

The Wolf Clan obeyed immediately. Several wolves worked together to drag the tiger away. As his body scraped against the ground, his festering wounds reopened, leaving a long, thin trail of blood that stretched from Su Lin’s feet out of the cave, seemingly without end.

Su Lin watched the red trail, his expression as still as the water in an ancient well.

Regarding the gathered Variant Species Flesh, Su Lin would soon distribute rewards based on performance—the very moment the Wolf Clan members looked forward to most. To them, food was the ultimate prize.

Many wolves cast hungry glances at the piles of meat nearby, their eyes shining with predatory instinct. They waited only for Su Lin’s command to give in to their nature and feast.

Su Lin’s gaze shifted to two tall figures standing close by. Feeling the heavy pressure from the Wolf King, Xiao Hui quickly straightened up, while Little Lone Wolf remained bowed in a respectful stance, which pleased Su Lin.

Despite the significant power Little Lone Wolf held as a Lead Wolf, he never failed to show proper reverence to Su Lin.

As for Xiao Hui, he remained as impulsive as ever. Even with his increased intelligence, he acted much like a reckless eight-year-old child, focused only on following Su Lin into battle and expanding the Wolf Clan’s reach across the Arctic.

Acknowledging the loyalty and contributions of these two White Wolves, Su Lin generously granted them three hundred pounds of flesh each. This massive reward caused Xiao Hui to howl with pure delight, and while Little Lone Wolf was more reserved, his excited cry told Su Lin that both were overjoyed.

The rest of the Wolf Clan, from Beta Wolves to Hài Wolves, received their rewards according to their deeds in battle. For a moment, the cave was filled with the rowdy energy of a festival, with every rewarded White Wolf jumping and yelping in celebration.
