Devouring Evolution: I Reborn as an Arctic Wolf Chapter 1812 - 1014: The Annihilation of the Silicon-Based Stonefolk! (Part 2)
Previously on Devouring Evolution: I Reborn as an Arctic Wolf...
"Ah!!! How can this be? How is any of this possible? I refuse to accept that this is happening! You pathetic insects, how dare you break through the defenses of our Silicon Stone People Clan?"
Seeing the shocking sight before him, the Silicon Stone Man King refused to believe it and cried out in grief.
But in that instant of his lapse in focus, the Roach Emperor's brutal assault came crashing down!
Boom!
The intense Golden Rule formed into a gleaming Golden Sharp Blade, while the immense spiritual soul force unleashed its deadly strike, merging both powers into a single force focused on the Dark Sword bearing the Roach Emperor’s Mark.
This attack's might nearly reached the edge of the Quasi-Extreme Heaven Realm, as though it could slice apart the fabric of time and space itself.
In one devastating hit, despite the Silicon Stone Man King's reflexive guard, his skull got pierced, and his divine soul crumbled apart.
The enormous Heaven and Earth Dharma Aspect shattered in a violent explosion, its lingering energy hurling the broken form of the Silicon Stone Man King like a projectile into the swarm of insects far below.
Myriads of insects from the sea surged forward, swarming over the shattered remains of the Silicon Stone Man King in an attempt to consume him entirely.
"Back off! I belong to the Earth Clan branch—even if my body and dharma aspect are destroyed, none of you can lay a finger on me! Ah!!! Is there any Silicon Stone People left alive? Join me in battle! I'll guide you all to break free!"
The anguished spiritual will of the Silicon Stone Man King resounded throughout the chaotic battlefield.
He rapidly reformed his true body and dharma aspect, then charged wildly through the endless insect horde like an unyielding colossus, nothing could halt his advance!
Still, after a piercing golden glow flashed and following dozens of clashes against the Silicon Stone Man King, fissures spread across his gigantic true body and dharma aspect, with countless stone and silicon shards breaking away endlessly.
Following one more earth-shaking clash, the dharma aspect of the Silicon Stone Man King exploded once again.
The Roach Emperor was flung back more than a million miles, a trace of golden-green vital blood trickling from the corner of his mouth.
Then,
The Roach Emperor unleashed a piercing cry, and the entire Undying Cockroach Army Group exploited the opening to assemble numerous massive Fortune Arrays, totaling tens of billions in number, bearing down relentlessly on the Silicon Stone Man King.
With tens of billions of these Fortune Arrays—even including some from newer species—they possessed enough power to overwhelm even peak heavenly venerates.
"Ah!!! Why? Why must it end this way? How could you ever pierce the unbreakable defenses of our Silicon Stone People Clan?"
The Silicon Stone Man King rebuilt his body and dharma aspect yet again, roaring in despair as he lunged forward in a hopeless assault.
Yet all efforts proved pointless.
The full might of the Cockroach Army turned to pursuing the Silicon Stone Man King, the once-mighty defensive overlord,
while simultaneously refining their strategies and gaining expertise in subduing the mightiest foes via Fortune Arrays.
After all, the Wolf Civilization's invasion sought not only vengeance for the Charm Fox and Phantom Army, but also rigorous training!
To forge a genuine force of warriors ready to conquer the starry skies, without a single flaw!
During the Undying Cockroach Army's relentless pursuit of the Silicon Stone Man King, the Roach Emperor howled once more and joined the fray, his presence growing fiercer and more domineering amid the carnage.
From the late stages of the Heavenly Realm Ninth Layer, he surged across a vast divide to challenge peak heavenly venerates—a feat that, while not on the legendary level of the Wolf Lord, still shone as a brilliant achievement.
Particularly if they captured the Silicon Stone Man King, the tenth Heavenly Boundary Mark inside him was bound to become the Roach Emperor's prize,
potentially granting the Roach Emperor yet another surge in strength via that tenth Heavenly Boundary Mark.
Thus, observing this development, the Golden Jade Demon Deer, Spirit-eating Crow King, Bloodthirsty Grass, and even the Godspeed Golden Eagle sensed a pressing need to act.
They abandoned their positions and dove into the fight alone, targeting the surviving heavenly venerates!
Only the Hao Ri Princess and her Flame Angel Vanguard Army found themselves pushed away from the forefront.
For in times of desperation, the explosive war power they could muster wasn't any less than that of the Wolf Civilization's top fighters,
but when victory tilted in their favor, the Hao Ri Princess's reluctance to compete ensured she couldn't match the ferocity and onslaught of the other Wolf Civilization warriors.
In truth, right up to now, the Hao Ri Princess still hadn't grasped the true essence of the Wolf Civilization!
She also failed to comprehend how her grandfather and father, commanding such a grand force, succumbed to the Wolf Civilization.
Despite the Undying Cockroach Army Group's clear dominance, it required three straight months of nonstop butchery to wipe out the Silicon Stone People Clan entirely.
With that, the initial gateway to the Sea of Star Sand stood fully conquered; the Silicon Stone People Clan, who had plotted a preemptive blow against the Wolf Civilization, met total annihilation!
The whole battlefield lay drenched in gore, even if the Silicon Stone People Clan lacked actual blood—their silicon-laced stone fragments, infused with diverse essences, scattered across the ground in heaps.
To the veteran exotic beasts of the Wolf Civilization, such a gruesome vista was nothing new.
Having trailed the Wolf Lord through countless blood-soaked conflicts, they had beheld mountains of corpses and oceans of blood time and again.
This was the savage reality of the shadowy starry expanse; to survive here, one had to slay without mercy, smashing the skulls of every predator that dared to strike!
However, for fresh recruits like those in the Flame Angel Army Group and Blazing Angel Army Group—who merely handled the closing mopup and containment—the impact hit hard.
After all, tales of such bloodshed and turmoil had only reached them through the ancient legends of the old Radiant Sun Tribe.
After securing complete control over the first gate of the Star Sand Sea, as the Roach Emperor, Golden Jade Demon Deer, Spirit-eating Crow King, and fellow leaders raised their starry sky banners in place, an abrupt shift unfolded!
The killing intent born from the immense carnage across the field stirred to life, awakening numerous corpses and lingering souls.
Immense waves of sins and dark feelings erupted like crimson dragon veins surging up from beneath the battlefield.
The Roach Emperor and Golden Jade Demon Deer, as the most powerful among them, detected the anomaly first; spotting the Sin Extinction Array, they swiftly sent out urgent mental commands for every subordinate to withdraw, steering clear of the Sea of Star Sand's opening portal.
Though the Sin Extinction Array operated in eerie silence and lethality, it posed no threat to the Wolf Pack Army shielded by Fortune Arrays, managing only to corrupt the dead husks, remnants, stray spirits, and core souls already bereft of life.
This led to just slight disruptions and reductions in the Wolf Civilization Army's forces from the Sin Extinction Array, without any major casualties.
Even so, watching this endless Sin Extinction Array devour all the exotic beast corpses, stray spirits, and core souls that had perished here filled even elite leaders like the Roach Emperor and Golden Jade Demon Deer with awe at the Sea of Star Sand's brutality and ruthlessness.
Especially since, after the horrifying sin energy's corrosion, only beings who deliberately cultivated sins would risk devouring such tainted flesh and souls,
otherwise, they'd get ensnared by the sins, transforming into soulless puppets driven solely by slaughter.
Scorched earth tactics!
The Sea of Star Sand offered no grand declarations of world-ending fury aimed at obliterating the Wolf Civilization, despite every tactic appearing tailored against the Phantom Army. Yet each action struck like lightning in the void.
Scorched earth tactics—a method that utterly cut off the Wolf Civilization's approach of breeding more troops through endless warfare!
Furthermore, it exploited the Wolf Civilization's greatest vulnerability in their starry sky campaign: their fragile supply lines!
Thus, mere moments after claiming the first gate, before any celebration or spoils could be savored, the Wolf Civilization's kings, generals, and even the Roach Emperor confronted the harsh truth of ruling the stars.
Each faction would aim straight for the opponent's soft spots, delivering crushing strikes!
Spare no resource or ploy!
While the Wolf Civilization proved merciless, the outlaws of the Sea of Star Sand sank to even deeper depravity!
No faction claimed moral high ground, and none gave a thought to hollow ideals like justice or honor!
This heralded an inevitable clash between a ravenous wolf and a savage tiger, an epic showdown pitting a martial empire against a realm of pure malice.
.....
Thus, much of the Bear Clan’s decision to align with the White Wolf stemmed from the plentiful meat supplies and the exceptional caliber of Variant Species Flesh.
