Devouring Evolution: I Reborn as an Arctic Wolf Chapter 1957 - 1089: Qing Ming Observes, Battle Blood Awakens

"Hum!"

With a mere flicker of thought, Su Lin summoned an array of Extreme Heaven Realm artifacts, which materialized instantly to surround him.

From the Cycle of Reincarnation Disk and the Thirteen-colored Star Refining Furnace to the Sumeru Star Armor, the Inferno Heavenslayer, and the Blazing Flame Sword, each relic flared to life, pushing Su Lin's aura to its absolute zenith.

"This craftsmanship... the Blazing Flame Sword! How did this relic fall into your possession?"

The Black Sun Star Priest instantly identified the weapon, his gaze sharpening with alarm.

Blazing Flame Ink had emerged during the decline of the Blazing Flame Clan when resources were agonizingly scarce. Consequently, he had eschewed the creation of a traditional heavy artifact, instead channeling every ounce of his fortune into his own physical tempering.

Over time, the sword had absorbed the blood of countless formidable cultivators, eventually gaining sentience and evolving into a quasi-taboo heavy artifact.

Su Lin offered no retort. Once his true nature was exposed, dialogue was moot. Given that he stood on the side of the "Unspeakable," he was fated to be a lifelong adversary to the Blazing Flame Clan.

"Awoo!"

Su Lin unleashed a resonant howl, commanding his arsenal of Extreme Heaven Realm heavy artifacts to engage the Black Sun Star Priest.

The Blazing Flame Sword and the Inferno Heavenslayer served as his primary offensive force, while the Thirteen-colored Star Refining Furnace and the Sumeru Star Armor provided an impenetrable defense. Meanwhile, the vital energies of life and death, harnessed from the Cycle of Reincarnation Disk, were distilled directly into his wolf claws and gaze, exponentially increasing his lethality.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Every exchange manifested as a cataclysm in the cosmos, creating vast Chaos Black Holes that erupted across the void. The Star Sky Barrier shimmered repeatedly, revealing fleeting, enigmatic visions on its surface.

Though these colorful displays obscured reality from Su Lin, he harbored a conviction that upon achieving the taboo, every mystery would be rendered plain.

Furthermore, his current opponent possessed a strength far eclipsing that of the Star Sand Master. Like Su Lin, this priest had adopted a multifaceted path.

Not only had he achieved perfection at the atomic level, wielding immense atomic force, but he also commanded a formidable grasp of dimensional truth, having refined entire stars into his own constitution—much like a mirror image of Su Lin himself.

Within this limitless expanse of stars, over countless eras, how many geniuses and transcendent heroes had risen? It was only natural that some species would strive to traverse multiple paths simultaneously to reach the taboo.

Boom!

Yet, the priest’s grasp of dimensional truth remained inferior to Su Lin’s, barely sufficient to manifest a Dimension Heart.

Only his atomic body possessed a peerless brilliance, echoing the strength of those who had ascended to the taboo before him.

"I suspected the 'Unspeakable' wouldn't provide genuine intel. You are far more formidable than the reports claimed. You have harmonized the atomic body, paved the Heavenly Boundary Path anew, and mastered dimensional truth—all without a hint of dissonance. You possess the very invincible physique I have obsessed over. How could you possibly reach such a height? By what miracle did you construct this perfect form?"

After hundreds of grueling exchanges, the Black Sun Star Priest stared at Su Lin, his eyes blazing with a terrifying, divine intensity.

He recognized the very path he had spent his life yearning to walk.

He and Blazing Flame Ink had once been the twin pillars of their clan, and he had possessed greater innate aptitude than even Ink himself. In fact, a lord of the Heavenly Forbidden Mountain had once expressed the desire to take him as a disciple.

Though he had attempted to dual-cultivate dimensional truth and atomic self-proofing, the contradictory nature of the two had stifled his progress for eons. Observing Blazing Flame Ink’s success had driven him to desperation; he had forced the self-proofing, but without a universe to sustain the atomic transformation, he had suffered a crushing defeat.

Only the intervention of Blazing Flame Ink, who had sacrificed significant Essence Blood and endured the Star Sky Thunder Tribulation on his behalf, had kept him from annihilation.

Yet here stood the Wolf Lord, juggling paths more complex than his own, including the forbidden road of re-paving the Heavenly Boundary Path.

To see these paths—each one a death sentence—coexisting in perfect, submissive harmony within a single body felt like looking at a mockery of his own failed efforts.

"Are you not as wise as they claim? Why pose such questions, or is that all the heritage of the Blazing Flame Clan amounts to?"

Su Lin let out a fierce roar, deploying a supreme Life-taking Art as the Blazing Flame Sword, Inferno Heavenslayer, and Thirteen-colored Star Refining Furnace surged upward to hem in the priest’s weapons.

In truth, the priest’s mastery of the Heaven-Slaying Blade was superior, and his combat instincts, honed over an eternity, dwarfed Su Lin's. Had Su Lin not been tempered by the harsh, iterative trials of the Mysterious White Cloud, he surely would have been decimated by the priest’s sheer experience.

Boom!

The Burning Universe Splitting Sky Technique manifested, setting the stars aflame and unleashing a torrent of destruction upon the priest.

The Black Sun Star Priest remained unyielding. A shadow emanated from his eyes—a gaze capable of tracing the primordial origin of all things. As it touched Su Lin, it forcibly reversed the chaotic arson of the technique, extinguishing the burning sky.

The might of the Burning Universe Splitting Sky Technique drained away completely.

Pfft!

The Black Sun Star Priest lunged, directly colliding with Su Lin. In a display of harrowing power, he punched through the four defensive shroudings, shattering Su Lin’s shoulder and mangling his wolf claw.
