Devouring Evolution: I Reborn as an Arctic Wolf Chapter 2030 - 1128: Secret Conversation Between the Peng Emperor and Su Lin (Part 2)
Previously on Devouring Evolution: I Reborn as an Arctic Wolf...
This stems from their profound entanglement in the karma of the Purple Brilliance Star Core.
"As subordinates and descendants of the Star Snake King, I will offer you an opportunity in his name!"
Once that spiritual message transmitted, the Peng Emperor promptly imparted various enigmatic secret art abilities to the Three-eyed Python King: "These encompass the Star Snake King's secret art talents, plus the route to bodily evolution. Grasp them thoroughly, and may you one day attain that realm!"
The Peng Emperor's majestic aura shattered the tales claiming the Star Snake King and himself as mere frail beings in the Heavenly Boundary, simply pitied and spared by the Purple Brilliance Divine Race.
Thus, the Star Snake King might truly be a Heavenly Boundary expert, but undoubtedly one holding supreme status!
Such a display prompted the Three-eyed Python King to receive the legacy with utmost reverence.
Then, the Peng Emperor unleashed the full might of the Blood Ring upon the Twelve-winged Dream Butterfly, propelling it straight into the Extreme Heaven Realm amid surging power.
He further shared portions of his legacy with the Twelve-winged Dream Butterfly, Twin Ice Battle King, Spirit-eating Crow King, and Bloodthirsty Grass.
For the moment, this exhausts what the Peng Emperor can achieve.
In truth, he exists merely as a lingering spirit, sustained solely by his former Dao Fruit.
Having finished these deeds, the Peng Emperor withdrew into the rousing Stellar Dome, fading gradually like a ghostly silhouette.
Right then, Su Lin's awareness snapped back to his Sea of Consciousness, reclaiming dominion over his form.
That day, he had observed the Peng Emperor's formidable deeds and prowess, yet failed to vie for bodily command.
Su Lin now fully grasped the defying-heavens essence of the Borrowing Power to Summon God secret art.
That it summoned an ancient titan like the Peng Emperor—doesn't that imply any faint link allows this technique to call them forth?
How utterly horrifying!
Besides, the Peng Emperor embodied righteous sovereignty; without that, even Borrowing Power to Summon God's restraint wouldn't prevent harm to Su Lin's actual form!
With this vessel, he could perpetrate unforgivable atrocities!
Hence, the secret art boasts immense potency and enigma, yet carries perilous unpredictability.
Furthermore, as he shouldered the Peng Emperor's Dao Fruit, Su Lin sensed his atomically perfected wolf physique humming in harmony.
"Awake?"
In Su Lin's stunned state, the Peng Emperor's apparition sent a serene spiritual transmission.
"Yes, do you require anything from me? You've aided me immensely this time and built some favor with me!"
The Wolf Lord responded honestly.
Indeed, be it the Illusion God, Twelve-winged Dream Butterfly, or Three-eyed Python King, all formed favors the Peng Emperor had secured for him.
"Your actions awakened me, so this aid is only fitting."
The Peng Emperor declined with a headshake, showing none of the savage fiend from Purple Brilliance Star Core legends, but rather a genuine paragon.
Peerless might paired with modest warmth.
Yet soon, the Peng Emperor eyed Su Lin intently: "You stand out strangely; fog shrouds you beyond my sight. Today, I probed your form, detecting beyond Ancient Heavenly Realm True Intent, Dimensional Truth, and Atomic Force—a fourth force: Genetic Power!
I confess, this force seems ordinary at first, but it underpins your wolf body's capacity for such vast might. Genetic Power shatters your corporeal boundaries to inconceivable heights. Remarkably, with such varied genes, you haven't twisted into a freakish abomination.
Thus, I seek to know: who forged this path?"
The Peng Emperor's probing spiritual will pierced Su Lin's core mysteries, igniting a profound, somber spark in his lupine gaze.
Silence gripped him.
Concerning Genetic Metamorphosis or Devouring Power, Su Lin revealed nothing, no matter the querier or their allegiance.
This formed the bedrock of his rise thus far!
Lacking Genetic Metamorphosis, he'd linger as a frail mortal shell—how then to dominate countless elite Star Sky Physiques?
Let alone defying fate to clash the Red Sun Emperor so fiercely!
Victory eluded him, yet defeat never claimed Su Lin.
Should the bout drag on, Su Lin's future form would crumble, while the Red Sun Emperor's Dao Body faltered too; both teetered at exhaustion's edge, neither able to fully eradicate the foe.
Seeing Su Lin's silence at that instant, the Peng Emperor refrained from pushing him and changed the subject instead: "I can sense you hold a portion of the Residual Soul in your hand; if you give it all to me, I can assist you with matters concerning the Shadow Clan branch and the Heavenly Clan branch, at the very least ensuring you won’t be crushed by these two colossal forces for a long time."
Su Lin stayed quiet for an extended period before finally nodding: "Alright!"
Effortlessly, he drew out the Peng Emperor’s Residual Soul from the Origin Space, and the moment it materialized, it fused seamlessly with the Peng Emperor’s shadow.
Right then, the shadow that had been dimming before grew remarkably solid.
"Good! We are bound by cause and effect, and I shall use this Residual Soul to seek my shattered Origin, True Spirit, and body. If I ever truly revive, I will cross the Purple Radiance Nebula to find you and present you with a grand gift!"
The Peng Emperor suppressed his power and aura so masterfully that even Su Lin couldn’t discern the realm he had attained after absorbing so much Residual Soul.
However, Su Lin soon raised his query: "Is the Ancient Heaven Realm Twelve-layer Heaven truly so strong?"
"The Twelve-layer Heaven? What makes you think that?"
The Peng Emperor asked, full of curiosity.
Yet, noticing the Wolf Lord’s silence once more, he chose not to probe deeper.
After all, having journeyed through the Purple Brilliance Star Core, Su Lin might have uncovered certain ancient mysteries.
Nevertheless, the Peng Emperor shook his head: "Indeed, I have a Twelve-layer Heaven body, but that was crafted using the Shadow Clan’s supreme secret techniques for a one lifetime body, and I have lived through four lifetimes!"
The Peng Emperor’s spiritual will stayed serene and aloof, but it sent shockwaves rippling through the Wolf Lord’s heart.
In truth, the force that had tested him was only a single lifetime body of the Peng Emperor.
Even then, he had barely held on.
Little wonder the Peng Emperor, with merely a fragment of soul spirit, wielded an aura that blanketed the entire starry sky.
He had survived four lifetimes!
What a mind-boggling notion!
Su Lin simply couldn’t grasp it!
Sensing Su Lin’s astonishment at this point, the Peng Emperor went on, "It’s not as terrifying as you think. My shift from a one lifetime body to a four lifetime body was merely to acquire peak combat prowess back then; the gap in fighting power isn’t vast, but sadly, they all fell in combat."
Despite the Peng Emperor’s explanation, Su Lin remained convinced his genuine peak battle prowess far exceeded the Ancient Heavenly Realm Twelve-layer Heaven.
Following a prolonged quiet, Su Lin sent out another spiritual will: "What relation do you have with the Shadow Clan branch? Why cultivate their secret arts?"
Should the Peng Emperor respond to this query, it would undoubtedly unveil long-buried secrets.
The Stellar Dome boomed with surging Star Thunder as a stark admonition.
This caused the Peng Emperor’s shadow to shake its head: "There’s no need to ask further. You just need to know that some tribes dwell in darkness yet yearn for light. I cannot discern your future, but if you can truly defeat the Shadow Clan branch here, I hope you show them a sliver of mercy. Only when you genuinely step into the entire starry sky can you distinguish what is true good and evil!"
With their conversation concluded, the Peng Emperor’s shadow waved farewell to the one who had summoned and awakened him, before setting foot on the icy path anew.
Yet on this occasion, the icy path led directly into the Chaotic Zone, smashing through the Star Core!
It would plunge straight into the Southern Star Core of the Black Sun Tribe, stronghold of the supreme Black One Heavenly Lord!
