Devouring Evolution: I Reborn as an Arctic Wolf Chapter 1956 - 1088: Quasi-taboo Battle

"Awooo!"
With a thunderous howl, the vast heavens unveiled the Sky Wolf Roar Sun Map, generating sound waves possessing the sheer force to pulverize stars.
"Halt!"
Yet, the sonic barrage from the Extreme Heaven Realm was instantly frozen in the void by the mysterious black-clad figure, forcing all that potential energy to recoil in an instant.
Su Lin immediately countered by unleashing his Life-taking Art, seeking to dismantle everything as he dove into fierce, close-quarters combat with the shadowed opponent.
Both entities possessed bodies of terrifying and nearly unmatched resilience.
Su Lin could perceive that his foe was walking the path of atomic-level self-actualization, having likely touched upon the forbidden realm in the past. His physical prowess—specifically those blood-drenched arms crashing against Su Lin's Celestial Wolf Wings—was genuinely formidable.
"Who are you? Since when has the Wangshu Zone harbored a powerhouse of your caliber?"
Su Lin roared while pushing his Twelve Color Celestial Wolf Body to its absolute zenith, forcing the four overwhelming energies surging within him to clash against his adversary.
These were the "forces" of the Kingdom, the Sinister, the Invincible, and the Sinful.
Each was a potent manifestation absorbed from the most formidable opponents Su Lin had previously conquered.
These four energies seemed to rattle the very foundations of the cosmos, obliterating every small star that crossed their path.
The intensity of their combat reached an incomprehensible scale; their physical bodies and vitality reserves surged like primordial Star Dragons, rocking the stellar firmament.
They battered each other with such violence that they frequently struck the cosmic barriers themselves!
Su Lin was no longer the novice who had only just brushed against the half-step taboo; his brutal onslaught began to fracture the boundaries of reality.
Through the fissures, Su Lin caught fleeting glimpses of a different starry cosmos waiting beyond this one—he even saw fragmented images of other versions of himself!
However, the visions vanished as quickly as they appeared, and Su Lin remained unable to fully shatter the cosmic divide.
"Hahaha, your rise is far too swift, and you know far too little. I have remained in the Wangshu Zone for over an entire era, but I am merely a failure. A failure is something no one in this zone cares to remember!"
The black-clad figure projected a mental message filled with self-deprecating laughter, subtly mocking the limited perspective of the Wolf Lord.
Recognizing Su Lin's keen interest in the sights beyond the cosmic veil, the figure continued, "It is painfully clear how fast you have ascended; you have not even witnessed the most basic celestial realms that lie beyond these barriers!"
"Hmph! You may be wise, but are you not still a stray cur, cowering here at the edge of the galaxy?"
Su Lin’s mental retort was merciless, piercing straight to the core of the black-clad warrior.
He had already identified the creature's true nature and stats; surprisingly, it was a champion from the Blazing Flame bloodline!
Having surpassed the 200-level threshold to reach Level 206, it had survived the Heavenly Tribulation, placing it in the same quasi-taboo territory as the Illusion God—lacking only the Fate Altar.
Stung by the 'stray dog' insult, the aura radiating from the black-clad figure wavered before erupting in a blaze of fury.
Without another word, it unleashed its most devastating techniques.
As a survivor of the Blazing Flame Clan, it wielded not only an atomic-grade body but also top-tier Heavenly Boundary True Intent and Dimensional Truth.
With a single gesture, Three Thousand Origin Rules resonated, manifesting as a monumental Red Cauldron plummeting from the meridian depths!
Coated in the distinctive blood-red luster of the Blazing Flame Royals, this was once the clan’s dreaded artifact: the Blazing Flame Cauldron.
Amongst taboo weapons, it stood at the pinnacle.
Fortunately, it was merely an evolved copy; otherwise, even the taboo beings of the Black Sun and Heavenly Destiny Clans would have stopped at nothing to claim it. Even in its current state, it was terrifyingly powerful, threatening to incinerate the very universe.
"Awooo!"
Su Lin howled, his Celestial Wolf Wings shifting into Star River Wings. Channeling a massive influx of Star Energy and the collective Power of All Living Beings, he shattered the incoming force.
Not stopping there, he utilized his Bewildering Step to lunged directly at his opponent.
Boom!
Another cataclysmic shockwave erupted.
The black-clad powerhouse blocked the strike, intercepting even a spontaneous Space Secret Technique. Its combat intuition was nothing short of miraculous.
Yet, despite the successful block, Essence Blood continued to leak from its arm.
"Heh, you were right. I am a stray now, but remember that I was once the absolute master of this realm. A fringe upstart like you once wouldn't even have been worthy to catch a glimpse of my shadow!"
The warrior was enraged; its self-mockery was but a mask for a deep, lingering bitterness towards the Blazing Flame Ink, but its pride remained vast enough to swallow the stars.
"Die! The Black Sun and Heavenly Destiny Clans are detestable, yes, but they at least faced us in honorable combat. You opportunistic scavengers are unforgivable!"
The Black Sun Constant Star Priest grew truly livid, brandishing a Heaven-Slaying Blade—a quasi-taboo instrument far superior to that of the Star Sand Master.
This had once been the primary war-blade of the Blazing Flame Clan! With its aura surging, the surrounding debris began to spin wildly in the wake of the weapon's power.
Su Lin merely shook a droplet of Essence Blood from his claw, his tone freezing the air. "You said it yourself—that is all in the past. You are a stray dog now. My Wolf Pack Civilization fought its way here through blood and iron. Call me an opportunist if you must, but tell me: what are the Blazing Flame these days? Do you truly believe this is still your era to conquer?"
The Wolf Lord's cold, brutal logic ignited the Priest's rage until it seemed destined to set the entire firmament ablaze.
.....
The rest of the Wolf Clan, including every White Wolf that had displayed exceptional valor, were granted their rewards. The air in the cave grew jubilant, resembling a festive holiday celebration as the exhilarated White Wolves clamored with excitement.
With the wolves satisfied, Su Lin turned his attention to the Bear Clan that had fought by his side. The lead White Bear watched eagerly, having seen the bounty of meat handed to the wolves, and hungered for its own reward.
Hunting in the Land of Adventure during the Polar Day was never simple. Ever since the onset of the Ice Age, the emergence of countless Variants had made scavenging a perilous task, and risking one's life for a few scraps was common.
Many bears had chosen to submit to the White Wolves primarily for the consistent supply of high-grade Variant flesh.
Su Lin did not overlook his ursine allies; he let out a resounding howl, ordering the distribution of a generous portion of spoils to the Bear Clan as well.
The bears gathered together, having learned to understand the howls of the White Wolf pack during their time together. They echoed back with happy "hohoho" roars, their loyalty firmly cemented by the bountiful harvest.
Su Lin knew this victory had forged an unbreakable bond. By rewarding his followers generously, he fostered a deep sense of belonging, ensuring his tribe would slowly grow to become the undisputed, absolute masters of the Arctic ice plains.
Once the distribution to the Wolf and Bear Clans concluded, only then did Su Lin spare a glance for Sander and Tiffany, the humans he knew had aligned with his pack purely to survive the slaughter.
