Devouring Evolution: I Reborn as an Arctic Wolf Chapter 1856 - 1037: Suppressing the Half-step Taboo, the True Headquarters of the Branch! (2)
Previously on Devouring Evolution: I Reborn as an Arctic Wolf...
Ultimately, should they turn against the Sea of Star Sand right now, then in some future epic conflict, they might just as easily abandon their own allies and the entire Wolf Pack Civilization!
Boom!
Desperately thrashing about, the Misfortune Line Snake triggered a fresh outbreak of swirling black holes amid the stars, yet it failed to break free from its bindings.
For even without the Future Body's enhancement anymore, the Wolf Lord still outclassed the Misfortune Line Snake by a wide margin at the early Half-step Taboo level!
This merely amounted to holding the Misfortune Line Snake down; wiping it out entirely would demand a substantial stretch of time.
Indeed, the enigmatic devouring force inside Su Lin’s frame needed plenty of moments to absorb such a colossal asset as a Half-step Taboo entity.
Once the Misfortune Line Snake lay subdued, Su Lin traded multiple fierce blows with the Star Sand Master and the horde of Sinners trailing it, then bolted off in a flash toward the Seven-headed Ghost-faced Bat King.
Right then, troops from various Wolf Civilization forces let out fierce cries as they surged ahead, smashing into the frenzied Sinners Army that poured forth.
Another savage clash drenched in gore erupted between the two factions.
The Wolf Pack Civilization understood all too well that these sinners couldn't be permitted to interfere with the Wolf Lord's combat zone.
Boom!
In that instant, Su Lin chased over billions of miles, yanking the Seven-headed Ghost-faced Bat King right out of its space-time tunnel by force.
His overwhelming assault cracked the bones of the Seven-headed Ghost-faced Bat King wide open, unleashing a torrent of crimson.
Still, as a veteran Half-step Taboo, it proved vastly tougher than the Misfortune Line Snake!
Only after Su Lin unleashed more than a dozen devastating strikes did the Seven-headed Ghost-faced Bat King finally meet its total end!
Even so, while gravely wounded, the Seven-headed Ghost-faced Bat King unleashed a forbidden Extreme Heaven Realm art, pulling Su Lin momentarily into a slumbering dream world.
This left him open to a barrage from the Star Sand Master and the Sinners!
One had to admit, no Half-step Taboo fell easily!
In their final death throes, they dealt out savage wounds to their foes.
That said, Su Lin's might remained overwhelming, his form unbreakable and supreme.
On this occasion, he endured without full destruction, ripping the Seven-headed Ghost-faced Bat King to shreds while airborne, sealing portions into the Origin Space and hurling the rest into the Nine-layered Emperor Pagoda.
Next,
Su Lin chose not to square off directly against the frantic Star Sand Master.
He had no desire to stake his coming days and potential on a wild card like the Star Sand Master,
With a frosty look, Su Lin broadcast a vast spiritual command: "The Misfortune Line Snake and the Seven-headed Ghost-faced Bat King have been suppressed, and their tribal subordinates who surrender will not be killed!"
As Su Lin’s mighty spiritual will echoed far and wide, the Wolf Civilization Army's push against the local powers and the Seven-headed Ghost-faced Bat Clan clearly eased off!
Even so, carried by momentum, these forces held back from yielding, staying on high alert, though scattered smaller units started pulling back to the fringes as spies.
In response, the Roach Emperor directed every Undying Cockroach Army Group to rapidly hem in the ranks of these two major powers, boxing them in without striking!
Soon enough, after the Star Sand Master and the remaining sinners wore themselves out in their last stand, these two forces' troops would undoubtedly opt for the smart path!
The current landscape had grown rather evident!
The Star Sand Master’s final wild bid amounted to nothing but a fading twilight glow, unable to blaze eternally as in days gone by!
And as this colossal war raged on, moments faded away unnoticed.
...
Decades flew by in what seemed like an instant.
Over these years, the outcomes on all four Wolf Pack Civilization fronts had nearly come into sharp focus, separating triumphs from defeats!
The five Military Groups relentlessly hounded the Sea of Star Sand's remnants, once massed at the nineteenth gate, scattering them like hunted beasts and claiming innumerable kills.
When tallying the blood food haul for the Wolf Pack Civilization, this front topped the list!
On the thirtieth gate's field, following the Nightmare Army Group and Mercenary Army Group's exit, the Hao Ri Princess guided her Radiant Sun Tribe veterans to cut down hordes of Sea of Star Sand raiders.
Certain groups tried banding together for a comeback, only to crumble under the Hao Ri Princess’s cunning traps!
Truly, the Hao Ri Princess displayed unmatched prowess in this fight, her strength surging through brutal frontline trials, bolstered by Heavenly Boundary Marks and refined blood meat, rocketing her astonishingly to the Nine Heavens mid-stage pinnacle in mere time!
Astonishing beyond measure.
She embodied the command, tactics, and resolve needed to helm a mighty force and dominate every corner.
Post-battle, the Hao Ri Princess stood a prime candidate to step into the Charm Fox's old role.
Regarding the other two pivotal fronts, decades of carnage had likewise settled their victors and vanquished.
At that point, the "Unspeakable" Squad Leader, who had watched intently without a word, cast another look at the Sea of Star Sand’s thirty-sixth gate, sent out a wisp of divine sense, then departed.
Before going, they imprinted a spiritual message for Qing Ming.
"Following this clash, the Wolf Lord rises as the sixth backer of the Blazing Nebula. From now on, show him due respect in dealings! Also, tell him that should time allow, he could drop by the minor shard of the Star Core 63 Sequence for talks!"
As the "Unspeakable" Squad Leader planted this spiritual mark, Qing Ming’s gaze brimmed with irrepressible awe and delight.
She alone grasped the weight of granting entry to Star Core 63 Sequence shards?
That spot housed the true base of the "Unspeakable," a hidden haven no "Unspeakable" squad ever exposed to outsiders.
She herself required the Squad Leader’s summons to enter.
Thus, with the Squad Leader’s spiritual directive set, Qing Ming realized that after this war, the Wolf Lord’s standing beneath the Squad Leader—and even within the "Unspeakable" Blazing Nebula squad—would probably vault skyward!
.....
Positioned before the Fierce Tiger, eyeing its icy and emotionless shape like a soulless husk, lacking any hint of feeling.
A thick wave of peril instantly cloaked the Invincible Fierce Tiger entirely, making it gasp in chilled dread, as though it lay like helpless prey under the White Wolf’s knife, on the verge of carving, nearly shattering the Fierce Tiger’s spirit, baffled why the White Wolf bothered hauling it from the frost back to the Land of Adventure instead of ending it swiftly.
This dread of the unforeseen gripped the Fierce Tiger, yet in its frail condition, resistance proved impossible, even as inner turmoil raged; within the White Wolf’s realm at the Land of Adventure, such efforts meant nothing.
Su Lin eyed the Fierce Tiger ahead, akin to a sovereign from his seat appraising the captive he’d fetched, his stare detached.
"Aw—" Su Lin uttered a subdued howl to the nearby Wolf Clan, instructing them to haul this near-dead, fading Siberian Tiger off and guard it tightly.
The surrounding Wolf Clan sprang into action, multiple wolves teaming up to pull the Fierce Tiger along, its gashes grinding against the earth and reopening the rotting injuries with fresh spills, the thin blood streak trailing from Su Lin’s paws beyond the den, stretching seemingly without end.
Su Lin observed the blood path, his look steady as a still pond.
For the leftover Variant Species meat, Su Lin planned merit-based distributions, the ritual every wolf eagerly awaited, since sustenance outweighed all else for them.
A handful of Wolf Clan members started hungrily fixating on the nearby Variant Species meat, their gazes gleaming with hunter’s fire, poised to give in to instinct and charge if Su Lin so commanded.
Su Lin’s attention turned to two towering shapes close by. Xiao Hui, sensing their Wolf King’s commanding stare, promptly stood tall, as the Little Lone Wolf bowed its head in deference, a sight that warmed Su Lin’s approval.
