Devouring Evolution: I Reborn as an Arctic Wolf Chapter 2054 - 1140: Heading to the Star Core Auction! (2)

Reshape the world with a mere thought! Such is the power of this secret technique, capable of altering the very environment around its wielder.
The Healing Talent, through the absorption of other restoration-based abilities, has also ascended to the zenith of the Extreme Heaven Realm.
Mastering a Forbidden Secret Technique is an undertaking of immense difficulty, far beyond mere desire.
The Hunting Talent, too, has reached the pinnacle of the Extreme Heaven Realm.
Through countless augmentations, Su Lin has elevated Soul Sea Heavenly Punishment, Eye of the Heavenly Calamity, Bewildering Step, Soul Requiem, Ice Sealing, and Heaven and Earth Grieve Together to the Extreme Heaven Realm.
The Extreme Heaven Realm itself represents the nascent stage of Taboo, the very apex of the Heavenly Boundary.
Su Lin stands poised at this precipice, allowing for such deductions.
However, to push beyond this point into greater mysteries proves exceptionally challenging.
Even for Su Lin, reaching the ultimate heights of that realm, further deductions become shrouded in profound difficulty.
Yet, across these eons, not all secret techniques have remained confined to the Extreme Heaven Realm.
Two, specifically, have, with the passage of tens of millions of years, shattered their previous limitations.
These are Call Future Body!
And Chaotic Starry Sky!
Both have now achieved the status of Forbidden Secret Techniques.
Call Future Body, in particular, experienced a breakthrough.
After the Whale Swallowing technique annihilated the divine souls of Hei Si and Hei Wu, Su Lin uncovered remnants of the Shadow Clan's ancient knowledge pertaining to such techniques.
Though fragmented, this knowledge provided the crucial inspiration for its evolution into a Forbidden Secret Technique.
The secret technique of the Lord of the Radiant Sun, residing within the Extreme Heaven Realm, was truly a marvel.
Had their final battle for supremacy been closer, the Lord of the Radiant Sun might have propelled this technique to unfathomable heights.
Now a Forbidden Secret Technique, Call Future Body not only encompasses profound space-time and dimensional true intent but also wields the ultimate power of Cause and Effect.
This potent Cause and Effect emanates not solely from established rules but also from a nebulous parallel cosmos existing beyond the Starry Sky Barrier.
Within this realm, Cause and Effect flows like an endless ocean.
Therein lie countless, more potent iterations of oneself, conjured by illusion.
However, these are mere phantoms, lacking true substance.
To this day, the architect of this illusory parallel cosmos remains unknown to Su Lin.
The extraordinary potency of the dimensional true intent owes a significant debt to the existence of this parallel cosmos's illusory realm.
Upon its ascension to Forbidden Secret Technique status, Call Future Body gained the astonishing ability to summon an apparition of Su Lin's future self.
This is no longer a mere simulation derived from his present self, powered by dimensional true intent.
This capability defies comprehension, bordering on the impossible.
Yet, this apparition of Su Lin's future self is grievously wounded, its form partially disintegrated, leaving only bone, blood, a palpable killing intent, and an aura of madness.
Despite its condition, the power of the Future Body secret technique, augmented by this shadow, becomes immensely formidable!
And of Chaotic Starry Sky, little more needs to be said.
This is Su Lin’s own creation, the ultimate art of slaughter perfectly suited to his nature.
With the recent deduction of its eighth form, it has completely transcended its former limits, now a Forbidden Secret Technique.
In terms of both personal might and ultimate trump cards, Su Lin’s power now vastly eclipses that of ten million years prior.
Time, meanwhile, continued its unhurried march as Su Lin relentlessly integrated his Talent Secret Techniques and Heavy Weapons.
......
A century concluded.
Su Lin, accompanied by his devoted followers—the Sand Fox, Twelve-winged Dream Butterfly, and Black Gold Demon Ape—departed the Wangshu Zone in quiet procession.
Their contingent, numbering just over a million exotic beasts, formed an inconspicuous presence within the boundless expanse of the starry sky.
Rather than traversing the conventional Ancient Starry Sky Road, they utilized a Space-Time Altar for a direct journey towards the Star Core.
Throughout this dimensional transit, Su Lin ensured every follower was clad in the Starlight Battle Armor and the Black Soul Robe.
These protective garments served to cloak them from all scrutiny, safeguarding their identities.
After all, the Wolf Pack Civilization had transcended its humble beginnings.
Having brought the entire Wangshu Zone under its dominion, it now stood as the undisputed, ascendant power within the Blazing Nebula.
Consequently, discretion was paramount, especially given that the Star Core was not yet their territory.
And so, within the monotonous rhythm of this space-time voyage,
The Twelve-winged Dream Butterfly, Sand Fox, and the Black Gold Demon Ape, along with the Black Gold Demoness, each took turns as sentinels, standing guard to thwart any intrusions from unaware bandits of the Sky Star realm!
Although the Space-Time Altar possesses the ability to traverse dimensions, its activation causes ripples in the fabric of space-time rules wherever it materializes.
Consequently, its passage can be detected.
However, generally speaking, the Space-Time Altar travels with tremendous speed, and its creation necessitates a power level at least at the half-step taboo stage.
For this reason, no one dares to challenge those who wield a Space-Time Altar.
Su Lin maintained his composure at the heart of the Space-Time Altar, diligently pursuing the integration of his talents, secret techniques, and Heavy Weapons.
This particular endeavor, however, saw him dedicating the lion's share of his concentration to the unification of his heavy weapons.
This was due to the fact that several quasi-taboo heavy artifacts, such as the Blazing Flame Sword, Inferno Heavenslayer, and Blazing Flame Ink, were approaching the culmination of their integration process.
Particularly the Blazing Flame Sword, after absorbing a significant amount of essence blood and bones from the Blazing Flame Ink, was experiencing an astonishing surge in the growth of its Artifact Spirit.
At present, all three heavy weapons have reached the final stage of integration, awaiting only a singular opportune moment to achieve complete unification.
Su Lin's objective is to finalize the integration of these formidable heavy weapons prior to their arrival at the Star Core Trading City, thereby adding another potent trump card to his arsenal.
......
Standing before Meng Hu, Su Lin regarded the captive with an air of chilling indifference, his gaze akin to that of a mortician assessing a corpse, devoid of any discernible emotional warmth.
An overwhelming sense of mortal danger immediately suffused Invincible Fierce Tiger’s entire being. This sensation caused Meng Hu, whose breathing was already shallow, to draw a sharp, desperate gasp. He felt like a fish on the verge of being slaughtered on a butcher’s block, a feeling that threatened to shatter his very will. Invincible Fierce Tiger found it inexplicable why White Wolf had not dispatched him immediately but instead had expended considerable effort to transport him from the frozen expanse back to the Land of Adventure. This gnawing uncertainty festered in Meng Hu’s heart. Yet, in his current state of extreme weakness, he possessed no means of resistance. Despite his internal turmoil, escape within the Land of Adventure, the undisputed territory of the White Wolf, seemed utterly futile.
Su Lin surveyed the captive Meng Hu before him, his inspection carrying the detached air of a supreme master examining the spoils of war he had brought back, his eyes reflecting a profound indifference.
"Awoooo—" Su Lin let out a low howl, signaling to the gathered Wolf Clan members beside him. His intent was clear: they were to escort the near-lifeless Siberian Tiger away and ensure it was kept under strict guard.
The nearby wolves responded with swift obedience. Several wolves converged, hauling the incapacitated Meng Hu away. The wounds on his body scraped against the rough terrain, causing his already festering injuries to weep fresh blood. A thin scarlet trail extended from Su Lin’s feet, spattering out of the cave entrance, seemingly without end.
Su Lin’s gaze followed the crimson trail, his eyes remaining as placid as the unruffled surface of water in an ancient, forgotten well.
Regarding the remaining flesh of the Variant Species, Su Lin declared that rewards would be distributed based on merit. This announcement was met with fervent anticipation from the entire Wolf Clan, as there was nothing more treasured by them than a substantial feast.
Several wolves began to cast covetous glances towards the Variant Species Flesh displayed at a distance. Their eyes gleamed with a predatory intensity, suggesting they were poised to pounce the moment Su Lin gave the command.
Su Lin turned his attention to the two imposing figures standing attentively at his side. Xiao Hui, sensing the weighty authority radiating from his Wolf King, immediately straightened his posture. Little Lone Wolf, meanwhile, consistently maintained an attitude of utmost respect, bowing deferentially at the periphery, a behavior that greatly pleased Su Lin.
Despite projecting an aura of significant authority as the Lead Wolf, Little Lone Wolf never failed to exhibit profound reverence towards Su Lin.
As for Xiao Hui, his innate exuberance remained undiminished. True to his nature, he carried on as carelessly as an eight-year-old child, even with his enhanced intelligence, his sole desire being to follow Su Lin into battle and spread the prestige of the Wolf Clan throughout the vast Arctic.
For the two White Wolves whose unwavering loyalty had been instrumental in the recent victory, Su Lin bestowed a generous reward of three hundred jin of meat each. This substantial and unexpected largesse sent Xiao Hui into rapturous celebration. Little Lone Wolf, though outwardly maintaining a composed demeanor, could not conceal the ecstatic howl that revealed the profound joy shared by both loyal White Wolves.
