Devouring Evolution: I Reborn as an Arctic Wolf Chapter 1842: 1029: Seven-Headed Ghost Face, Arrival of the Wolf Pack! (Part 2)
Previously on Devouring Evolution: I Reborn as an Arctic Wolf...
“Star Sand Master! I've arrived now! This instant, you've been waiting for it a long time, haven't you? You slaughtered the Phantom Army simply to incite a total war with our Wolf Pack Civilization, correct? Now, it's your turn to face the consequences!”
Bursting with furious killing intent, Su Lin erupted suddenly high above the thirty-six passes of the Sea of Star Sand.
The full force of the Extreme Heaven Realm Heavy Artifact, the Nine-layered Emperor Pagoda, unleashed his tremendous power!
In truth, Su Lin's bottled-up fury and lethal resolve had simmered for an exceedingly long period due to this very conflict!
Charm Fox, Shadow of Plague, along with the Phantom Army—they were all his loyal subordinates!
He had sent them forth, yes, to scout the vast starry realms and to expand the Wolf Pack Civilization's influence past the system!
Naturally, there were certain unspoken motives as well.
Yet the Sea of Star Sand's deeds had crossed the line entirely!
Thus, how could Su Lin himself not have eagerly anticipated this clash?
He had held back for so long, solely because as the head of his faction, he couldn't afford to lose composure except at the peak of true carnage!
And following the earth-shattering Wolf Howl from the Wolf Lord that rattled the cosmos,
Over a hundred Star Sky Mother Ships trailed behind, charging toward the gap with unstoppable momentum, hurtling forward at top velocity!
More than a hundred Star Sky Mother Ships matched the power of over a hundred second-class Life Planets,
While dozens of Star Sky Insect Nests followed in their wake, rivaling dozens of second-level peaks or nascent small constant stars!
United, they advanced like a relentless flood, unleashing tremendous pressure!
Confronted by this spectacle, even the Star Sand Master was forced to concede that the Wolf Pack Civilization held such might that one assault alone could overwhelm their tens of trillions of soldiers!
“Hahaha! So you're the Wolf Lord who emerged just over ten thousand years back, truly formidable! But spare me the talk of retribution! Wolf Lord, your followers may trust you blindly, yet I see right through your schemes! Did you foresee this outcome when dispatching the Phantom Army to probe the starry voids? You know the truth deep down! Weren't you merely scheming to sacrifice the Phantom Army's blood for a righteous pretext to unleash your Wolf Pack Civilization? Hahaha, if that's how it stands, drop the vengeance rhetoric—come on! Witness the heads of your Phantom Army and their leader, simmered into broth!”
Positioned atop the thirty-six passes, the Star Sand Master faced off against the wolf silhouette atop the Nine-layered Emperor Pagoda!
Their “auras” collided with savage intensity.
The Star Sand Master's taunts indeed pierced the hidden facet of the Wolf Lord's intentions!
Upon dispatching Charm Fox from the Sky Wolf System, Su Lin had already braced for its brutal encounters with the local powers in this cosmic expanse!
He had figured it would involve mere stellar systems, providing the Wolf Pack Civilization with grounds to seize the stars.
But he hadn't imagined the Sea of Star Sand launching such a direct assault.
The Star Sand Master's greed for the Sky Wolf System began when it was merely the Radiant Sun Stellar System!
“Courting death! But first, behold a shower of severed heads in blood!”
The Sea of Star Sand was an utterly vile entity, so how could Su Lin fail to predict them wielding the Phantom Army's remains to shatter his forces' spirit!
Thus, with a sweeping gesture, Su Lin hurled forth numerous heads of wrongdoers he had carried from the fourteenth pass in the Origin Space!
These wrongdoers were kin who had all emerged from a Prison Planet!
They had served as battle commanders in the Blazing Flame Clan, an Overlord Level group, once revered across realms, now stained with endless disgrace!
Hence, only fellow wrongdoers and battle-mates among them could truly grasp one another's plights!
And for that reason, the camaraderie among wrongdoers surpassed even that within the Wolf Pack Civilization!
As the crimson deluge of heads rained down, the Sinners Army reacted first with unrest!
Even the Star Sand Master, who had planned to parade the Phantom Army's heads, felt a surge of murderous fury and wrath in his gaze.
He had paused the Sin Extinction Array precisely to free the billions of wrongdoers, underscoring their vital role to him!
“Excellent… truly… outstanding!”
From the outset, both factions engaged in a brutal mind game!
Yet whether it was the Star Sand Master's ploy or the Wolf Lord's counter, each struck like a dagger into the other's core!
Still, the Star Sand Master wavered first.
The tens of trillions of wrongdoers beneath him fixed their stares upon him!
In that instant, though the Star Sand Master and Wolf Lord had only just encountered each other, they had rehearsed this showdown and clash innumerable times in their thoughts!
Thus, no further exchanges were necessary between them!
Besides, for both the Star Sand Master and the Wolf Lord, this war had been awaited for an eternity!
Boom!
A blast of energy rippled outward as the Star Sand Master surged from the thirty-six passes, barreling directly toward the Wolf Lord!
The thirty-six passes served as the Sea of Star Sand's vital threshold; if the Wolf Pack Civilization sought invasion, let them come!
But his duel with the Wolf Lord was a clash fit for sovereigns!
Only they merited involvement!
Not even the Star Sand Master permitted the Misfortune Line Snake or the Seven-headed Ghost-faced Bat King to intervene!
For the Star Sand Master cherished his own dignity!
Meanwhile, the Wolf Lord's forces pressed onward toward the thirty-six passes without falter!
“Kill!”
“Awooo!”
…….
At that juncture, neither Su Lin nor the Star Sand Master retained any trace of restraint, consumed solely by boundless slaughterous will!
Each side harbored motives to guarantee the other's demise; this fight brooked no overtures of alliance!
Victory could belong to but one faction, lest they betray their staunchest allies!
….
To recall, amid the perilous heart of the Arctic, relations boiled down to hunter and hunted; the ominous presence of the White Wolf invading rival domains set countless foes on edge, their eyes aglow with eerie green, poised in tense silence for the White Wolf Pack's next action.
Merely upon the grand form of the White Wolf vanishing from view did those predators exhale in relief.
Su Lin swiftly guided the Wolf Pack to their home grounds, surveying the well-known landscape, his spirit settling at last. Detecting the comforting aroma, the Red-tailed Fox Wolves from the den flicked their tails and stepped out to greet their snow-dusted family.
Merely upon the grand form of the White Wolf vanishing from view did those predators exhale in relief.
Su Lin regarded with approval the quick and cohesive Wolf Pack arrayed before him; these stood as his finest wolves, his ideal comrades for upcoming struggles—only with a superior Wolf Pack could he confront adversaries unburdened.
A wolf thrived in the pack, and he harbored no desire to roam solitary.
He parted his jaws then, letting out a howl toward the far north, directing every wolf to abandon the ice and head back to the Land of Adventure, securing their quarry tightly against any poachers en route.
The wolves answered with vigorous cries, dashing away with haste, keen to showcase their remarkable swiftness and power to the Wolf King.
Observing his vibrant Wolf Pack, Su Lin's resolve to guide them toward supremacy in the Arctic intensified; during the Ice Age, survival hinged on growing mightier or serving as sustenance—a destiny Su Lin vowed to deny!
Noting Little Lone Wolf trailing the pair of Beta Wolves while hauling the leftover flesh of the Invincible Fierce Tiger, their gait lacking prior vigor, he recognized this as Little Lone Wolf's trial for them; Beta Wolves ought to radiate self-reliance and toughness, so Su Lin held his tongue.
Little Lone Wolf drew near Su Lin, emitting a soft “woof,” and Su Lin grasped the intent behind Little Lone Wolf’s sound.
