Devouring Evolution: I Reborn as an Arctic Wolf Chapter 1857 - 1038: Fall of the Star Sand Master!
Previously on Devouring Evolution: I Reborn as an Arctic Wolf...
The mirror image of the Squad Leader from the "Unspeakable" branch departed, yet Qing Ming's thoughts remained turbulent for quite a while.
Though she lacked the Squad Leader's ability to deeply probe the fierce clash at the thirty-sixth checkpoint in the Sea of Star Sand, she fully understood that the Wolf Lord had triumphed in that fight!
If not, the Squad Leader would never have transmitted such a spiritual will.
"How could this be? Even the Illusion God failed to overcome him?"
Qing Ming found it hard to believe.
In the closing deal with the Illusion God, the Wolf Lord's true identity had slipped out unintentionally,
a move meant to alert the Illusion God that slaying the Wolf Lord would pave the way to investor status, even if the third slot wasn't immediate.
After all, the Wolf Lord's repayment of the "Unspeakable" debt had led to her, the intermediary and voice of the group, facing blame and discipline from the Squad Leader, fueling a grudge against the Wolf Lord deep within!
Still, she never imagined the Wolf Lord would claim victory in this confrontation!
Such an outcome shattered the intel and strategic insights amassed by the "Unspeakable"!
But Qing Ming remained unaware that no genuine fight had ever erupted between the Wolf Lord and the Illusion God!
......
Now, above the thirty-sixth checkpoint of the Sea of Star Sand,
the Star Sand Master, having scorched his essence relentlessly for decades, at last depleted all reserves and fell to the Wolf Lord's Blazing Flame Sword, his core drained of even a drop of Essence Blood or Sinful Karma Fire.
This reveals just how desperately the Star Sand Master pushed himself to the brink!
Gazing upon the architect of that wicked regime, the ruler of the Star Sand, meeting such a desolate and sorrowful end, Su Lin senses little elation in his core.
For he glimpses traces of his own reflection in the Star Sand Master's fate.
Regarding the ties linking a force's commander to its warriors, the Wolf Pack Civilization harbors profound connections too.
Should the Little Lone Wolf, Twelve-winged Dream Butterfly, Red-tailed, Xiao Hui, and the rest battle unto death solely for his escape, would Su Lin truly abandon them?
Even as Su Lin believes himself grown far more ruthless and detached, he lacks a firm resolve!
Much like the Star Sand Master, whom all viewed as a ruthless fiend or specter indifferent to Exotic Beasts' fates!
But amid this conflict, he displayed greater loyalty and honor than any other!
For these prisoners trailed him across endless epochs and cycles, emerging as the starry sky's most maligned and isolated phantoms!
None but their fellow fighters truly comprehended their essence.
Hence, their loyalties eclipsed those of every rival faction!
In this clash, every convict from the thirty-sixth checkpoint of the Sea of Star Sand perished without exception!
Across those decades, they etched with their sacrifices a genuine, unbreakable alliance between ruler and allies!
Yet their fighting prowess shone remarkably during the fray as well.
The honed Undying Cockroach Army Group, excluding units that hemmed in the Sea of Star Sand's local powers and the Seven-headed Ghost-faced Bat Clan, saw almost its full complement wiped out.
The Undying Cockroach Army Group's might plunged sharply from exceeding twenty trillion Ancestor-level troops to under fifteen trillion, while even its prior New Species Level and Quasi-Ancestor Level units endured heavy cuts!
The Wolf Pack Civilization's premier core force, the Star War Army Group, suffered thirty percent casualties, another thirty percent gravely hurt, and virtually every survivor bearing injuries!
The Hundred Battles Army, commanded by the Lonely Wolf Emperor, proved the fiercest and most relentless, spearheading the breach of Forbidden God Star's inner barriers, launching endless lethal assaults, ultimately aiding the Roach Emperor in felling the second Peak Heavenly Venerate, with scarcely any pause.
Yet despite the Wolf Pack Civilization's every faction striving to their limits, victory came only through the Nightmare Army, Mercenary Army Group, and the Wandering Army Group under the Black Gold Demon Ape's lead, overwhelming with supreme elite forces!
Without that aid, the Wolf Pack Civilization's success, if attained, would have dragged on far longer amid far steeper tolls.
So, with just a few trillion convict warriors, compelling the Wolf Pack Civilization to pay such a price truly warrants admiration.
Rumble!
Once Su Lin fully integrated the soul bone, Mystic Bones, and ten Heavenly Boundary Marks bequeathed by the Star Sand Master, the vast Stellar Dome shattered amid a majestic dirge of crumbling laws.
This marked the definitive demise of the Star Sand Master, that late-stage Semi-taboo pinnacle entity.
"No! This can't be? The Star Sand Master fell just like that?"
Certain mighty local powers, trapped under siege for decades yet too fearful to strike, now whispered in dread.
Having endured the Star Sand Master's dominion for eons, they never foresaw the cunning supreme powerhouse crumbling so swiftly.
"We surrender! We surrender!"
Countless Exotic Beasts, witnessing the Star Sand Master's utter collapse and the convicts' total rout—while the legendary mightiest hidden force held back—promptly pledged allegiance to the Wolf Pack Civilization.
In truth, they were simply starry sky titans, not a cohesive entity like the Wolf Pack Civilization bound by shared ideals and resolve.
Thus, when defeat loomed inevitable, none craved needless martyrdom.
After an initial resounding spiritual will rang out, the encircled force of over ten billion, hemmed by the Roach Emperor's troops, soon resounded with wave upon wave of spiritual wills.
These spiritual wills, wild and jumbled, merged into a roaring ocean of unrest.
