Hei Wu orders the Black Sun Clan's Fifth Vein forces to converge on the Wangshu Zone via the Ancient Starry Sky Road, vowing not to retreat. In fierce combat, Black Five Heavenly Lord summons a massive Long Peng Shadow Beast to battle Su Lin and the Sun Empress. He burns Shadow Clan True Blood to invoke the Starry Sky Will, but the Red Sun Emperor's apocalyptic technique shatters his efforts, leaving him furious.

With the Sun Empress present—a seasoned expert in clashes against the Black Sun Clan and Shadow Clan—countless bizarre tactics lost much of their potency.

"The true blood of the mother clan must not be wasted. Aid me, let me evolve my clan’s strongest secret technique, the Ten Thousand Shadow Clones, to its Great Achievement! Let me see how you break my clan’s strongest secret technique!"

Boom!

Suddenly, the whole starry sky brimmed with over ten thousand clones of the Black Five Heavenly Lords.

This stands as the Shadow Clan’s genuine ultimate secret technique and deadliest strike—not just odd maneuvers—it demands direct confrontation, leaving the Sun Empress without alternatives.

Merely the massive count of more than ten thousand Black Five clones, each one overwhelmingly powerful, all hitting at least late-stage semi-taboo!

How can anyone fight this battle?

Such a secret technique holds power that nearly defies the heavens, practically unsolvable,

Even Su Lin sensed this secret technique’s outrageous might and sheer unreasonableness!

Nothing else matches the Ten Thousand Shadow Clones except Atomic Nirvana and Borrowing Power to Summon God!

Shadow Clan’s direct descendants once arrived on Earth, bequeathing the inheritance of this secret technique.

First claimed by the Shadow Demon, then passed to the Serpent Emperor, Shadow Wolf, and Shadow of Plague—yet lacking Shadow Origin backing, their Ten Thousand Shadow Clones only reached High Heaven Realm and stalled.

Plus, the stronger the user grows, the heavier the toll each activation demands!

That transformed the secret technique into their desperate survival tool.

Now, the Black Five Heavenly Lord facing them requires the mother clan’s true blood to push this secret technique to Great Achievement.

Yet Black Five’s display of Ten Thousand Shadow Clones dwarfs those from the Serpent Emperor, Shadow Wolf, and Shadow of Plague.

It eclipses Extreme Heaven Realm limits, ascending to forbidden secret technique tier.

Every clone pulsed with vitality, eyes flashing diverse pupil glows, but all bore the same unyielding bloodlust intent to slaughter and obliterate everything.

"Kill!"

"Kill!"

"Kill!"

Furious roars from the Black Five Heavenly Lords reverberated through the boundless starry sky, as each clone unleashed varied lethal strikes.

Some deployed Controlling Technique, horrifying pupil arts, staggering kill moves, ancestral slaughter techniques, debilitation curses, and beyond.

Too horrifying!

Layers upon layers of mighty arts and secret techniques, all wielded by late-stage semi-taboo to quasi-taboo powerhouses—even a taboo like the Red Sun Emperor couldn’t endure.

This approach defies all logic and defies understanding!

For it truly embodies a forbidden secret technique!

This marks Ten Thousand Shadow Clones at Great Achievement; Su Lin couldn’t fathom its absolute pinnacle!

"Ah!!!! Ten Suns Falling from the Sky! I am a taboo, do you think your clan’s secret technique alone can cross this Heavenly Chasm? I don’t believe your clan’s secret technique can be invincible across the starry sky!"

The Red Sun Emperor sensed an intense threat as well, his blood-red long hair whipping ferociously amid the surging energy waves,

Within that immense energy storm, he appeared demon-possessed, ten scorching suns manifesting behind him and instantly shifting to blood-red hue.

Interwoven within were the Red Sun Star, Dazzling Star, and Heaven and Earth Wills from the prior nine great stars.

This secret technique was the one the Red Sun Emperor always sought to refine to flawless perfection.

He placed highest hopes on it breaking into forbidden secret technique realm, but now he couldn’t conceal his power any longer.

Boom!

Ten blazing suns merged with eleven Forces of Heaven and Earth, animating them vividly while bearing supreme Star Energy, Heaven and Earth Force, and Power of All Living Beings, charging to crush the tens of thousands of Shadow Demon clones.

Instantly, twenty to thirty Shadow Demon clones incinerated into ashes.

Remember, every Shadow Demon clone reached late-stage semi-taboo—doesn’t that mean a single brush could obliterate twenty to thirty such late-stage semi-taboo experts?

Still, under the barrage of supreme killing moves, after three hundred clones, one blazing sun exploded violently.

After five hundred clones, two Forces of Heaven and Earth shattered across the starry sky.

Following the obliteration of six thousand clones, ten blazing suns, Radiant Sun, and eleven Forces of Heaven and Earth into nothingness.

The Wills of Heaven and Earth from the Red Sun Empire and Dazzling Star, capable of matching quasi-taboo levels, got brutally crushed by the Ten Thousand Shadow Clones.

Among the Shadow Clan’s direct bloodline, the Ten Thousand Shadow Clones stand out as an overwhelmingly potent secret killing art, akin to a dimension-collapsing blow in the Blazing Nebula.

No one could endure its might!

Boom!

All four thousand remaining clones launched a unified assault on the Red Sun Emperor; despite his frantic efforts to block and counter, he exploded across the starry expanse in a flash.

"What forbidden existence? Lacking the Fate Altar, how dare you claim to be one? Your roots are far too weak—apart from your forbidden body, your fighting strength barely exceeds that of the Demon Emperor, Sun Emperor, and the like! Die! If my ancestral clan’s pure blood sufficed, I’d show you how one blow from the Great Achievement of Ten Thousand Shadows Unification would pin you down instantly! That fabled War Power Heavenly Chasm is utterly worthless against my Shadow Clan and Black Sun Clan!"

Bathed in the blood from the fragmented remains of the Red Sun Emperor’s corpse, the Black Five Heavenly Lord’s icy, savage spiritual intent echoed forth.

In this instant, the Black Five Heavenly Lord perfectly embodied the pinnacle legacy of the Star Sky Great Clan, the unrivaled powerhouse just shy of heaven’s taboo!

Su Lin found himself reassessing the terrifying prowess of the Ten Thousand Shadow Clones technique once more.

Even at the High Heaven Realm, Ten Thousand Shadow Clones had been astonishing, but now at Great Achievement, it carried the force to demolish every law of the stars.

However, the peak might of Ten Thousand Shadow Clones in Great Achievement endured for merely a handful of seconds.

After pulverizing the Red Sun Emperor repeatedly, the latter reformed his true form from his full blood and flesh, swallowing the Black Five Heavenly Lord whole and pulverizing him inside the forbidden body’s gore.

The mightiest force below heaven’s taboo remained, in the end, merely one step from true taboo!

......

Regarding the leftover Variant Species Flesh, Su Lin planned to allocate it next according to contributions—what the entire Wolf Clan eagerly awaited above all, since food mattered more than anything to them.

Several Wolf Clan members started salivating at the nearby Variant Species Flesh, eyes burning with feral hunger, as if poised for Su Lin’s command to give in to instinct and charge at it.

Su Lin’s eyes shifted to the two towering figures close by; Xiao Hui sensed their Wolf King’s heavy stare and snapped to attention at once, while Little Lone Wolf humbly kept his head lowered, delighting Su Lin greatly.

Despite wielding vast authority as Lead Wolf, Little Lone Wolf always approached Su Lin with deep respect.

True to form, playful Xiao Hui—intelligent though evolved—stayed as lighthearted as a child of eight, dreaming solely of trailing Su Lin to dominate everything and extend the Wolf Clan’s dominance over the Arctic.

To these two steadfast White Wolves who loyally trailed him and shone in combat, Su Lin bestowed upon each three hundred pounds of flesh; this massive windfall prompted Xiao Hui to yip in ecstatic howls on the spot, and even Little Lone Wolf, hiding his thrill outwardly, unleashed a thrilled howl that revealed their immense happiness to Su Lin.

For the other Wolf Clan members who fought and excelled—be they Beta Wolf Hài-Wolf or others—all gained fitting shares, transforming the cave into a festive uproar like human New Year revels, buzzing with joy. Rewarded White Wolves, particularly the energetic ones, bounded about in wild delight.

With the Wolf Clan rewarded, Su Lin faced the Bear Clan that battled alongside him; now, the leading White Bears eyed their portions hungrily, having seen Su Lin lavish hundreds of pounds on the wolves.

Hunting in the Land of Adventure amid Polar Day proves incredibly tough—since the Ice Age’s onset, countless Variant Species have arisen, intensifying dangers in the frigid Arctic. One moment’s lapse might cost a life to a beast’s savage fangs, all for a mere few dozen pounds of meat.
