The Void Abyss Mayfly Warlord retreated from the battlefield, publicly abandoning the Red Sun Empire and inviting the Wolf Pack Civilization to join against them. This shift eased pressure on the Dazzling Star, allowing the weary Sun Empress to resolve holding position and pledging allegiance to the Wolf Pack. Meanwhile, Su Lin led his wolf pack back to familiar territory, howling orders for them to guard prey en route to the Land of Adventure.

At the star's location, the surging star power nearly matches the boost from the Force of Fortune, enhanced by numerous defensive structures and arrays in the Bright Day System.

This grueling war of blood has dragged on for three hundred years, yet the Red Sun Empire has only pushed forward to the fourth Defense Array.

Even the vanguard of the Wolf Pack Civilization has arrived early on this battlefield.

The Bright Day System and Red Sun Empire are both aware of the Guardian Divine Army and the Star War Army Group.

These forces represent the core strength of the Wolf Pack, their fiercest and most formidable armies.

Right upon stepping into the fray, they stunned the Red Sun Emperor by devouring more than thirty trillion southern troops using just over five trillion soldiers.

Though those thirty trillion were exhausted leftovers,

Though the Star War Army Group and Guardian Divine Army deployed over a hundred foil-level killing devices,

Devouring such vast forces only ten days after entering the battlefield left the Red Sun Empire in shock.

This level of military might is utterly terrifying!

Now, the Guardian Divine Army is forcing the Void Abyss Mayfly Clan’s Warlord to consume the western armies of the Dazzling Star.

"Excellent! Truly excellent! If the Wolf Pack Civilization courts death, then I will oblige them!"

The Red Sun Emperor currently suffers from some wounds.

The unrelenting three-century siege on the Dazzling Star has worn him down severely, even inflicting injuries from sheer fatigue.

This made the Red Sun Emperor, already slipping from his old composure amid supreme power, unable to hide his true feelings or restrain his rage!

"Emperor, this is just an isolated force; their main body trails far behind, taking nearly a millennium to catch up. Why not deploy your elite army to crush this detached unit, displaying the Red Sun Empire’s unbeatable might to intimidate the Wolf Pack Civilization and buy us time to seize the Dazzling Star?"

The Supervision Team Commander, chosen by the Red Sun Emperor himself, repeated his proposal.

Though the Red Sun Emperor disdained the idea, his extreme self-reliance had left the once-vibrant Red Sun Empire without generals bold enough to offer counsel.

For now, the Red Sun Emperor pins failed offensives on his commanders.

This drove away key figures like the State Preceptor and Phoenix Emperor, who had been set to battle to the end for the empire.

Even two of his deputy emperors under his rule had either fallen in combat or fled; the fleeing one was savagely executed by the Emperor!

He publicly branded that deputy a traitor plotting to join the Bright Day System!

Such moves might fool lesser exotic beasts, but not the high-ranking generals and kings.

As a result, the Red Sun Empire lacks true military backing.

The generals still present are shackled only by vital connections within the Emperor’s Star River Sea of Consciousness, unable to break free.

"Hmph! With no superior plan, carry this out. Giant Spirit King, take the veterans and eradicate the Wolf Pack Civilization’s vanguard!"

At last, the Red Sun Emperor sent forth this mental command.

His veterans, famed for Hundred Battles Immortality, still totaled four trillion strong.

Yet to the Red Sun Emperor, four trillion sufficed to annihilate the Wolf Pack Civilization’s mere five trillion elite arcane warriors.

Among these four trillion lingered almost one trillion Heavenly Boundary warriors, surpassing all foes in experience, strategy, and combat skill.

They had previously battled three hundred trillion Bright Day System troops while numbering just two trillion.

However, the Red Sun Emperor failed to grasp how the Wolf Pack Civilization had advanced far beyond its former self.

Its top elite units now closed the gap swiftly.

Furthermore, the Red Sun Emperor remains unaware that

These four trillion national veterans might be the sole truly devoted force with peak fighting strength; the rest grow despondent or seek other paths.

Not from betrayal, but because the Red Sun Emperor destroyed their homeworld, beliefs, and vows of life-and-death loyalty!

Especially as, upon agreement, the Supervision Team Commander flashed a sly look of triumph while bowing his head.

......

As the Red Sun Empire decided to wipe out the Star War Army Group and Guardian Divine Army, the Red Sun Emperor’s supreme divine sense pinpointed their position instantly.

This clash offered no path to flee.

The Red Sun Emperor chose not to join personally.

Most of his Army of Lost Souls hammered the fourth array of the Dazzling Star at the forefront, nearly shattering it beyond repair.

Besides, with his Forbidden Body attained, a mere vanguard from the Wolf Pack Civilization hardly merited his involvement!

With this thinking, the Red Sun Emperor launched dual offensives.

One side hammered the Dazzling Star without mercy, the other targeted the Wolf Pack vanguard for destruction.

Several days passed, and after the Guardian Divine Army and Star War Army Group struck yet another Red Sun Empire force, the national veterans blocked their path.

Both sides fielded ultimate elite arcane warriors, each upholding supreme prestige.

The encounter between the Guardian Divine Army, Star War Army Group, and these veterans was no accident; the veterans had stalked and pursued them for days.

This time, the Wolf Pack Civilization faced no escape!

The three elite groups led by the Void Abyss Mayfly Warlord pulled back far to watch the fight.

Lacking an Empress, the insects shifted about chaotically under threats of death.

Right then, on a battlefield that devoured and interred endless lives, the Wolf Pack Civilization’s two banners whipped and thundered.

The Hundred Battles Army and Star War Army Group.

The Star Sky Battle Flag of the Lonely Wolf Emperor’s forces retained the title Hundred Battles Army,

This moniker had trailed them from Earth to the stars, etched deep into their very essence.

As vanguard this time, both the Lonely Wolf Emperor and Twelve-winged Dream Butterfly bore the Wolf Lord’s strict command.

They must claim victory in their opening clash!

For the Wolf Pack Civilization to display its true majesty here, only by instilling true dread in the Red Sun Empire could they prove they had transcended their past weakness.

Only thus could they cow the lurking Black Sun Clan in the shadows.

Moreover, by taking the Sun Empress’s collateral and allying with her this time, wasn’t it also to harness the lingering might of the Blazing Flame Clan against the concealed Black Sun Clan?

In the Dark Starry Sky, allegiances shift without absolutes, as do justice and wrong.

To elevate from obscurity through trials and claim the Wangshu Zone as sole Overlord, the Wolf Pack Civilization must pursue what serves it best.

If clashing with Blazing Flame survivors aids them, then clash!

If partnering with Blazing Flame survivors strengthens the Wolf Pack Civilization, then partner!

Reputation?

When did the Wolf Pack Civilization ever boast a stellar name?

"Awooooo!"

"Liang!"

In that instant, the Lonely Wolf Emperor and Twelve-winged Dream Butterfly locked eyes across the battlefield, then parted ways!

The Lonely Wolf Emperor and Hundred Battles Army formed the dagger, set to strike with ruthless ferocity!

The Star War Army Group struck from every angle, akin to wolves ripping into the veterans’ flesh.

"Kill!"

The Lonely Wolf Emperor and Hundred Battles Army unleashed the Fengdu Sin Prison Map!

This Killing Array Map had soaked up immense sin and slaughter, unleashing power surpassing an Extreme Heaven Realm Heavy Artifact, nearly warping a swath of starry sky.

Myriad Blood-Colored Killing Swords and Sin Incarnations swirled above the Hundred Battles Army, shrieking and baying.

Empowered by this array map, the Lonely Wolf Emperor and Hundred Battles Army fused as one!

Yet soon, the Red Sun Empire veterans unleashed torrents of Blazing Flame blood energy, summoning their own colossal array map.

Extinction of the Nine Stars Diagram!

The accumulated atrocities from nine stellar systems rivaled the Fengdu Sin Prison Map’s haul from the Sea of Star Sand and endless campaigns.

Boom!

The two sides collided savagely, the Hundred Battles Army’s formation cracking densely in a flash.

It struck and withdrew instantly!

Outnumbered too heavily, they couldn’t confront these veterans directly.

Still, the Lonely Wolf Emperor guided the Hundred Battles Army to veer off, charging toward the Red Sun Empire’s other troops.

This move plainly warned the veterans: maintain your huge formation for an invincible stance!

But you can’t halt us!

For larger armies breed clumsier, slower formations.

How could a four-trillion-strong juggernaut pursue the three-billion Hundred Battles Army?

This compelled them to detach a hundred billion Heavenly Boundary elites, powering the Extinction of the Nine Stars Diagram to hunt the Hundred Battles Army.

Like twin colossal Starry Sky Beasts, they dueled in the endless void.

Yet as the deep-penetrating Wolf Pack force, the Lonely Wolf Emperor intentionally dragged the fight toward the Red Sun Empire’s remaining armies, shockwaves disrupting their battles too.

Occasionally, foil-level Killing Devices detonated over the Red Sun Empire’s other forces.

This severely hampered their assault on the Bright Day System.

Meanwhile, the leftover Red Sun Empire veterans scattered into packs sans the Extinction of Nine Stars Diagram, poised to lock down the Star War Army Group.

But bereft of the Extinction of Nine Stars Diagram, the Twelve-winged Dream Butterfly and Star War Army Group boldly met them head-on!

For the Twelve-winged Dream Butterfly knew guerrilla tactics led inevitably to brutal clashes of flesh and bone!

Only that decides triumph, defeat, survival, doom!

Besides, the Star War Army Group, groomed by the Wolf Pack Civilization with top resources for years, had underperformed against the Void Abyss Mayfly Clan in the Western Starry Sky.

Thus, they must reclaim their honor now!

"Kill! Star War Army Group, now we show our worth; I refuse to tolerate those whispers in the Wolf Pack Civilization claiming we get the finest food, gear, Star Energy Weapons, yet fail to quash a petty revolt or exterminate pests—kill!"

The Twelve-winged Dream Butterfly roared with fury!

From the array clash, she sensed the veterans’ superior combat power, killing intent, savagery, tactics, and experience over the Star War Army Group.

For them, this was a grueling sub-battle of gore!

These Red Sun Empire veterans proved a tooth-shattering bone!

But shunning tough fights, when would the Star War Army Group redeem their prior shame?

When would they silence the Wolf Pack Civilization’s jabs of "unworthy of rank", "outclassed by Sun Fire Army Group", "lagging far behind Roach Emperor and Undying Cockroach Army Group"?

Hence, despite knowing it was an epic ordeal, the Star War Army Group charged in!

Prior skirmishes didn’t count as their true opener!

That was merely their and Hundred Battles Army’s introduction!

This was the Wolf Lord’s decreed first battle!

Victory was non-negotiable!

Plus, as vanguard, the Wolf Lord supplied eight hundred Foil-level Killing Devices and three Forbidden-level Foil Weapons!

The Red Sun Empire’s prior Foil-level Killing Devices had all burned up in the Bright Day System.

Thus, these eight hundred Foil-level Killing Devices fueled their resolve to end these veterans who ravaged nine stellar systems!

Failing to fell these Red Sun Empire veterans with eight hundred extra Foil-level Killing Devices meant they deserved annihilation here!
