The Sun Empress unleashed the Nine Tribulations of Heavenly Fire, incinerating three of the Red Sun Emperor's Dao Bodies and ending the catastrophes at the cost of her life. Her fading image shed tears for the Dazzling Star before the Emperor's pupil technique shattered it, despite the Wolf Lord's protective claw. Emboldened, the Red Sun Emperor charged the Wolf Lord in a fierce clash, confident of domination despite his losses, as forbidden essence blood quietly encircled Su Lin. Meanwhile, Su Lin led his wolf pack toward the Land of Adventure, their procession inspiring dread and aspiration among Arctic predators.

This subtle essence blood aura grew richer and more intense over time.

Soon enough, the Red Sun Emperor detected this aura.

Originating from the same source, it bore the blood-infused essence of the Ancient Heavenly Realm True Intent.

That's precisely why the Red Sun Emperor noticed it only now.

However, he also sensed that this blood-infused Ancient Heavenly Realm True Intent aura was far more potent and overbearing than his version.

"Whose essence blood is this? Wolf Lord, what exactly are you up to?"

Right then, a wave of unease surged within the Red Sun Emperor's heart.

Regardless of one's arrogance or self-assurance, encountering a Primordial Beast vastly superior in power instinctively stirs dread!

But the Wolf Lord offered no reply to any of it!

For the Wolf Lord no longer wished to engage in conversation with him.

The Red Sun Emperor proved himself a ruthless powerhouse, pushing every tactic to its limits; to secure triumph, he'd forsake everything.

Beings like him frequently shatter established hierarchies.

In the massive turmoil sweeping the Wangshu Zone, this upstart overlord of just two eras toppled the mighty Bright Day System outright.

Armed with barely over six hundred trillion troops—most barely stepping into Ancestor Level—they savagely drove the Bright Day System to the edge of annihilation.

Remember, at its zenith, the Bright Day System commanded trillions of soldiers, battle-tested elites for the most part, backed by more than two hundred trillion reserves!

Over a hundred marquises surpassing mighty Heavenly Venerates, plus millions of War Generals beyond Half-step Heavenly Venerable!

What an unstoppable force that was.

Thus, the Red Sun Empire's legendary feat in this clash rivals that of the Wolf Pack Civilization!

Yet forging such a legend cost the Red Sun Emperor his very principles!

Lacking principles and cherishing nothing, dialogue with him proved utterly futile for Su Lin.

Words mattered little; in the end, only a brutal clash would settle victor and vanquished!

Boom!

With the Peng Emperor’s essence blood coursing through him, Su Lin fully absorbed the overwhelming grandeur of the Peng Emperor’s Ancient Heavenly Realm True Intent.

He sensed the Peng Emperor had likely attained the pinnacle of the Heavenly Realm Twelve Heavens—or even transcended it—given how the Ancient Heavenly Realm True Intent inside surpassed all expectations.

Simply igniting this essence blood unleashed a ferocious aura that made Su Lin’s Star River Wings quiver uncontrollably.

"Wolf Lord! What in the world is this? I refuse to believe you hold another game-changing trump card!"

By now, the Red Sun Emperor's heart churned with anxiety, his demeanor turning frantic and desperate.

He'd exhausted every last trick up his sleeve.

Every strategy had been deployed to the fullest!

His Red Sun Star and imperial forces had all burned away in pursuit of his grand ambitions!

He might briefly harness this star’s Heaven and Earth Force along with its Star Energy, yet refining it swiftly like the Red Sun Star lay beyond his grasp.

For the Source of Radiant Sun Star remained absent from him, and its inhabitants refused him allegiance!

Truly, he had nothing left!

Still, amid his panic and rage, he failed to halt that tyrannical, almost horrifying Ancient Heavenly Realm True Intent as it swelled from faint wisps to immense power.

The Wolf Lord’s enveloping aura exploded upward at this instant, defying the Red Sun Emperor’s comprehension entirely.

Lacking any limit-breaking feats or ordeals, the Wolf Lord ascended straight to a height the Red Sun Emperor wouldn't dare challenge.

This terror stemmed deep from his genetic core.

Much like a sly rabbit dreading a ferocious Evil Tiger, or minnows quaking before a mighty Canglong.

Behind the Wolf Lord, his Star River Wings appeared to awaken fully, transforming into a living miniature universe.

Every creature inside pulsed with life, diverse exotic beast races preserving their awareness, peering curiously at the havoc and ruin below from within the Star River Wings.

The Red Sun Emperor even spotted terror and awe in the gazes of countless species there.

This sight forced a terrified shriek from the Red Sun Emperor, "Impossible! Wolf Lord, how can this be? How does your pursuit of the Heavenly Realm path manifest like this? Surely, species drawn into the Ancient Heavenly Realm Universe ought to have their consciousness, genes, and origins partially suppressed—owing to the Ancient Heavenly Realm Universe's clash with this vast starry sky, missing the Three Thousand Origin Rules. Then why do the beasts in your Star River Wings remain unchanged? This defies all logic! It can't be!"

Soon after, the Red Sun Emperor's face twisted: "Ah!!! No response? Then perish! Ten Suns Descend Heaven!"

Boom!

Yet right then, the Wolf Lord's surging aura exploding upward demolished the Red Sun Emperor's desperate ambush fueled by terror.

The Red Sun Emperor really would stoop to anything!

In this dire circumstance, he still launched a furtive assault out of sheer panic and fear.

But on this occasion, the Ten Suns Descend Heaven secret art failed to achieve any splendor.

A single surge of energy torrent effortlessly pulverized the Ten Suns Descend Heaven.

Afterward, Su Lin's eyes grew ever more frigid and detached, shifting from their prior blazing war fervor and murderous resolve.

As though the grand clash meant nothing to him,

Su Lin's awareness itself began to dim gradually!

Amid the Red Sun Emperor's utter incredulity, Su Lin—with the final spark of lucidity in his divine sense—stood amid the stellar ruin's turmoil, softly voicing a spiritual command.

"Borrowing Strength... to Summon God!"

As this spiritual command rang out, an inconceivable power crushed down on the Red Sun Emperor, rendering him utterly immobile.

"Ah!!! Break free for me!!! I won't accept that you command such overwhelming might! I refuse to accept this starry realm harbors such supreme forbidden arts!"

The Red Sun Emperor thrashed wildly in denial of his doom, drops of vital blood seeping from his eyes due to the strain.

Yet in the end, all he managed was a mental howl, not even a strand of hair stirring.

The Red Sun Emperor had merely plundered a heritage from the Blazing Flame Royal Family; his comprehension fell short of profound depths.

Were he born of a genuine Starry Sky Great Clan such as the "Nightmare," he'd recognize this as neither secret art nor innate gift.

It was... Borrowing Power to Summon God!

Once Su Lin murmured that spiritual command softly, his presence exploded into another world-altering shift as his eyes snapped open.

Whereas Su Lin was once a fabled Legendary Emperor famed throughout the Wangshu Zone, now his aura radiated an ineffable chill.

Like ice sealed away for eons, his gaze held no feelings, merely eternal apathy.

Those glacial eyes first fixed on the Red Sun Emperor, then after moments passed, turned downward to the gore-soaked battlefield.

He offered no acclaim to the splendid Dazzling Star, nor pondered the Wolf Pack Civilization's legions or the Red Sun Empire's Blood Puppets; only the Black Sun Clan's vast army held his prolonged focus.

Precisely as the Wolf Lord's aura underwent this drastic change, nearly every Exotic Beast, faction, and distant Exotic Beast in the Bright Day System sensed a colossal "force" compelling them to bow toward the stellar devastation's heart—save those shielded by Battle Formations or Fortune Formations!

This "force" towered supreme, invincible in its dominance.

Even figures in the Bright Day System, such as the Shadow Bird and Sunshine Third Emperor, buckled beneath it.

"Impossible! That's no Wolf Lord aura! Is some primordial beast soul parasitizing his body, now seizing control?"

The Sunshine Third Emperor barely sent out this spiritual message, his legs folding under the "force"'s weight until he knelt fully.

"Not even the forbidden being atop the Fate Altar should command such terror!"

"A hint of Giant aura lingers—how? The ancient Giants of the Blazing Nebula are either decayed or fading; none should emerge anew. The remaining Quasi-Monarchs linger amid Star Cores in fragile equilibrium—who'd venture to the Wangshu Zone?"

In that instant, a profoundly ancient Giant Turtle watching from the distance broadcast a resonant spiritual will.

This Giant Turtle stands as a lone titan famed in the Wangshu Zone, evolved into a myth that seldom surfaces!

Without the Red Sun Emperor's ascension taboo aura rousing it, it might yet slumber on.

This Giant Turtle had beheld the Blazing Flame Clan's glory and downfall, its insight and wisdom unparalleled.

Still, for all its immense lore and abyssal cultivation, it couldn't pinpoint the origin of this Forbidden Giant's aura trace.

And amid the Wangshu Zone's collective astonishment—from Red Sun Emperor and Shadow Bird, Sunshine Third Emperor and Giant Turtle to countless beings—the Wolf Lord at last averted his stare from the Black Sun Clan's Grand Army, lifting his head to survey the boundless cosmos, then the fractured Star Core.

"I've... returned, yet discover everything has changed. Piercing ancient star rivers, overturning Yin and Yang and Qian Kun—what value lies in being unrivaled across the vast cosmos? In the end, I cannot alter the War Clan's cause and effect! Who commands the dark starry skies, when will this endless strife conclude? My form shattered, soul origin reduced to drifting dust through time, wandering infinite eras, but today, I awaken unexpectedly!"

The chill in the Wolf Lord’s gaze slowly receded at that moment, overtaken by sorrow and isolation.

Once this spiritual will was sent out, the oppressive force on the Red Sun Emperor and the destructive turmoil vanished in an instant!

Even the species compelled to kneel suddenly experienced a wave of relief!

However, with that "force" gone, uncertainty and fear flashed in the Red Sun Emperor’s eyes as he fixed his stare on the strange Wolf Lord ahead: "You're not the Wolf Lord anymore—who exactly are you? The former you clashed with me as foes, and he was on the verge of defeat. If you want to help him, I'm willing to yield!"

The Red Sun Emperor seemed casual and generous, his spiritual will brimming with utmost sincerity.

Considering his character and greed, though, how could he back down now?

He probably believed the Wolf Lord’s condition wouldn’t endure, with no reason to court death right then!

Should that condition fade, control would remain firmly in his grasp!

But how could such minor deceptions fool the being who once almost toppled a complete unified Star Core?

The Peng Emperor cast a silent look at the Red Sun Emperor, revealing the latter’s entire history as if through divine methods!

Having scanned the Red Sun Emperor’s history, only a subtle spiritual will echoed forth.

"Your path... was wrong!"

This lone spiritual will acted like heaven’s own edict, awakening the Ancient Heavenly Realm True Intent inside, making the already weakened Red Sun Emperor spiral out of control as his mighty Star River Sea of Consciousness crumbled with ease.

No strikes, no actions!

One phrase, and reality shifted!

Boom!

Boom!

Boom!

Resembling a stellar god, the Red Sun Emperor’s Sea of Consciousness and skull detonated next, while his majestic Heaven and Earth Dharma Aspect trembled fiercely like a crumbling heavenly pillar.

That Star River Sea of Consciousness, expansive like a miniature cosmos, burst into a brilliant display of fireworks.

With such ease, such straightforwardness, a forbidden powerhouse fell powerlessly at his feet.

At that instant, all aware Exotic Beasts, species, experts, War Generals, and others across the battlefield—along with ancient watchers like the Giant Turtle, Shadow Bird, and Sunshine Third Emperor—stood completely dumbfounded by the spectacle!
