Devouring Evolution: I Reborn as an Arctic Wolf Chapter 1784 - 1001: Ample Preparations and the Return Home
Previously on Devouring Evolution: I Reborn as an Arctic Wolf...
Upon exiting the Star Energy Weapon Trading Hall, Su Lin discovered he had already burned through almost two trillion star stones.
Indeed, Star Stone mechas come with a hefty price tag. Acquiring three billion in one go, along with star energy fuel and other essentials, naturally drove the cost well beyond that of the Star Sky Mother Ship Group.
Next up, Su Lin planned to check out the Foil Paper Trading Hall.
Without question, beyond star energy weapons, these foil-level killing devices can swiftly boost a faction's fighting strength.
They serve as the essential trump cards and hidden strategies that numerous Star Nebula Great Clans always keep in reserve.
Now that the Wolf Pack Civilization has stepped into the realm of Star Nebula Great Clans, it ought to stock up on the foil-level foundations typical of such powers.
Once inside,
the sight that greeted him first was a vast array of diverse foil-level killing devices crammed together.
Descriptions ranged from those targeting single foes to ones hitting groups.
From teleportation aids and formation breakers to burning effects, freezing capabilities, spatial locks, and more—every specialized foil type was on offer in full detail.
Su Lin snapped up samples from every category of these foil-level killing devices.
After all, as they geared up to join the Star Nebula Great Clans, their path would inevitably lead into the fierce struggles of the Blazing Nebula.
In the vicinity lay threats like the Sea of Star Sand, Void Abyss Mayfly Clan, Red Sun Empire, Bright Day System, Black Sun Stellar System, and plenty more,
putting it bluntly, every one of these Star Nebula Great Clans outmatched the Wolf Pack Civilization at present!
Whatever rival faction stirred trouble down the line, they would require a solid stockpile of varied and ample foil-level killing devices to counter it.
For this shopping spree on foil-level killing devices, he grabbed over 1,200 ready-made units plus 6,000 blank foil sheets, totaling three trillion star stones.
Notably, back then, a single blank sheet called "Unspeakable" had set Su Lin back fifty million star stones, highlighting the huge markups in those deals.
Besides the standard foils, Su Lin took another peek at the forbidden-level foil paper killers in the mix.
True taboo existences forge these forbidden-level foil paper killers.
Each boasts immense power that pierces the heavens and grasps profound dimensional truths. Su Lin had unleashed three such forbidden-level foil paper killers against the Heavenly Ghost and the Emperor’s Son of Ten Thousand Demons before, draining their dimensional truths while still packing that punch.
If they had been genuine top-tier forbidden-level foil paper killers, the Heavenly Ghost and his thirty thousand black-robe undead followers would have faced devastating blows.
In truth, these foil-level killing devices pose serious dangers even to wounded taboo existences, much less to those at half-step taboo levels!
Still, their prices soared to absurd heights.
The forbidden-level Spacefoil demanded a jaw-dropping eight hundred and thirty billion star stones, making it three to four hundred times pricier than regular versions.
Even so, Su Lin went ahead and acquired sixteen forbidden-level foil paper killers.
Among them were ten for single-target strikes, two Fire foils, two Ice Cold foils, one Sky foil, and one Shadow foil.
This haul of foil-level killing devices drained another fifteen trillion star stones from Su Lin.
In this brief span, Su Lin poured over thirty trillion star stones into the Star Core Trading City, a colossal sum of riches by any measure.
Even in the wealth-gobbling Star Core Trading City, famed for its Taotie-like appetite, this spending spree prompted the staff to bow and present Su Lin with a VIP card just like the one handed to the Heavenly Ghost.
Armed with this VIP card, free entry beckoned to every trading hall in the Star Core Trading City, and he could even slip into the central Treasure Auction Hall without needing an invitation list.
Yet, after claiming the VIP card, Su Lin skipped a direct dash to the Treasure Auction Hall and roamed the remaining trading halls once more.
For not just Lev required this eye-opening experience, but Su Lin himself and the whole Wolf Pack Civilization had to expand their perspectives and solidify their base.
These days, the Heavenly Boundary paths open to the Wolf Pack Civilization extended far beyond a mere two options; countless routes now sprawled ahead.
Some among them stood out as wildly potent and extraordinary Heavenly Boundary paths,
along with assorted battle formations and Fortune Formations. Ever since Su Lin claimed the Hao Ri Wheel Rotation Battle Formation from the Radiant Sun Tribe and the outrageously powerful Holy Angel Destiny Array, shortages were a thing of the past.
That said, certain elements still left the Wolf Pack Civilization sorely wanting.
Chief among them was insight into the dominant powers across the Blazing Nebula!
Su Lin scooped up loads of intel on tactical assault strategies tailored against key clan forces,
this intel, though not exactly common knowledge, stayed far from classified, keeping costs reasonable.
On top of that,
Su Lin swung back to the Blood Food Trading Hall and loaded up on huge quantities of flesh from various species, including Essence Blood from the Sky-Cunning Beast clan and the Heavenly Destiny Clan.
He cleared them out in bulk, and in generous volumes too.
Since these would fuel his Genetic Metamorphosis progression and, looking ahead, forge elite Sun Body warriors from the Wolf Pack Civilization's ranks!
And as these nonstop buying sprees unfolded, time slipped away unnoticed.
......
Days blurred into weeks, and after half a month,
in that timeframe, Su Lin shelled out more than fifty trillion star stones overall, with roughly forty trillion funneled into the trading halls, before he finally stepped into the Premium Auctions.
Stepping in, he grasped at last why the Heavenly Ghost had set his sights on this place.
For a Dimension Heart was on the block there.
Only a Half-step Forbidden Peak or one who had weathered a Heavenly Tribulation to attain Quasi-taboo status could hold a Dimension Heart.
The Star Core Auction offering such a Dimension Heart meant that a Half-step Forbidden Peak or Quasi-taboo had met their end.
From the Star Core Auction's own details, Su Lin confirmed it was indeed a Quasi-taboo's Dimension Heart.
Thinking back to the demise of the Lord of Ten Thousand Demons, he pieced together the likely sequence of events.
