Devouring Evolution: I Reborn as an Arctic Wolf Chapter 2069 - 1149: This Moment, That Moment
Previously on Devouring Evolution: I Reborn as an Arctic Wolf...
With Su Lin having mastered four paths, each reaching the pinnacle beneath the forbidden realm, he could decisively eliminate those merely at the half-step forbidden level in an instant.
Even confronting an opponent at the peak of the half-step forbidden realm would result in their defeat within ten rounds under his control.
This mirrors how a half-step forbidden peak existence would fall within ten rounds against a true forbidden entity.
Moreover, he wielded the enigmatic devouring force, the ultimate tool for eradicating all traces.
Therefore, to ensure utmost caution during this ambush, Su Lin deliberately left no origin imprint, no heavenly boundary mark, not even a mystical bone – everything was entirely consumed!
However, the sheer quantity of pure vital essence extracted from these beings no longer contributed to his advancement.
Yet, the genetic fragments obtained still furnished Su Lin with a significant amount of evolutionary essence.
Following the elimination of these two factions, Su Lin intended to intercept the Holy Radiance Empire. To his surprise, they had already retreated to their own domain.
This development compelled Su Lin to abandon his pursuit.
But shortly after Su Lin's successful ambush of the Fire Clan's branch and the Chaos Remnants,
a series of furious roars suddenly echoed from both the third fragment of the star core and the deepest recesses of the Zhenmang Zone.
Within a secluded cave on the third fragment of the star core, a formidable aura abruptly erupted.
"Investigate the reason for the severance of the Deputy Clan Leader's causality line. He was dispatched with over 600 trillion star stones – the culmination of our Fire Clan's efforts across eons, representing thirty percent of our reserves. Their loss would cripple our clan's ascent!""Understood!"
Without delay, a contingent of elite Fire Clan members surged forth to execute the directive.
Concurrently,
within the Zhenmang Zone, not only did the Taichu Chaos Body of the Chaos Remnants stir, but the true sovereign of the hidden Jinhui System also gradually opened their eyes.
"Hmm? Who severed Zang Xing's causality line? Such a precise cut; could it be the Deputy Leader of the Heavenly Destiny Clan, or perhaps Black One or Black Two?"
Upon awakening, the ruler of the Jinhui System exhibited not fury, but a contemplative frown as they mused.
From their perspective, while the Chaos Remnants had indeed sustained a substantial loss of resources, the Jinhui System could readily absorb such a setback.
Although they harbored interest in the coveted artifacts at the Heavenly Destiny Clan's auction, these were not indispensable.
After all, setting aside any taboo puppets or shattered fate altars,
the Jinhui System possessed authentic fate altars and genuine taboo combat power, and not merely one!
Furthermore, the lurking presence of Chaos Remnants signified an overlord from a bygone era!
Consequently, a mere few million trillion in resources did not warrant a fervent pursuit.
The current clandestine ruler of the Jinhui System struggled to comprehend which supreme being possessed the ability to so effortlessly obliterate Zang Xing, an expert at the late stage of the half-step forbidden realm!
Moreover, beyond being the current leader of the Chaos Remnants, Zang Xing was also a significant contributor to the entity known as the "Unspeakable"!
This very fact explained why the Jinhui System pursued the Sky-Cunning Beast to extinction, yet did not extend the same intensity to "Unspeakable."
Subsequently,
the hidden sovereign employed arcane law decrees, attempting to divine the identity of the annihilator of Zang Xing!
Yet, after extended calculations, even with the assistance of their taboo heavy weaponry, no conclusive information was uncovered.
This prompted them to shake their head and issue a telepathic command: "Investigate all who accompanied the Chaos Remnants this time; ascertain if there are any survivors. Additionally, make inquiries at the Star Core Trading City regarding the auction items Zang Xing acquired and his last known whereabouts. Meanwhile, Tian Yinghua is authorized to probe into this matter!"
The ruler of the Jinhui System remained undeterred in their quest.
Their genuine desire was to unravel the complete truth behind these events!
After all, they were uncertain whether this formidable entity responsible for the killings was targeting the Chaos Remnants specifically, or if they themselves were the ultimate objective.
And just as these two powerful factions registered the complete annihilation of their respective auction teams and initiated their countermeasures,
the architect of this carnage had already reached the periphery of the now monumental Central Star Core.
Here, legions of the mightiest beings clad in starlight battle armor, accompanied by formidable armies, exuded soaring auras that seemed poised to rend the very heavens.
They had encircled the Sovereign of the Undead Holy Church and his followers, who stood at the epicenter, even with the inclusion of auxiliary forces from allied powers, they appeared significantly outmatched.
Presently, no fewer than twenty half-step forbidden experts and six confirmed forbidden existences surrounded the Sovereign of the Undead Holy Church.
Over twenty half-step forbidden and six forbidden existences!
This represented a formidable concentration of power, difficult to assemble, yet it was now amassed for the siege of the Undead Holy Church!A chilling flow, initially appearing during the Sun Emperor’s forbidden ascension, emanates once more. It's accompanied by a spectral spiritual will, as if crawling from an endless abyss. "Hehehe, we meet again, Chi Hun; this time, we will not retreat. We will claim your life!" "Hmph! You hide your faces while boasting such bold words! Break! Let me see who you truly are!" The Sovereign of the Undead Holy Church let out a roar. The Fated Altar beneath his feet spun rapidly, and immense, unparalleled atomic-level power, along with a surge of vital force, blasted skyward! At this moment, he truly held an invincible posture! Without even wielding his formidable weapon, a single punch seemed capable of annihilating the starry expanse! Though the chilling flow also possessed a Fated Altar, as a second-step dimensional strongest being, they were forced back millions of miles, their transparent blood splattering. "Everyone, do not hold back! Strike him together! He is genuinely on the verge of becoming a quasi-monarch!" Following this command, six forbidden existences launched their assault simultaneously. Meanwhile, the remaining twenty-plus half-step forbidden beings focused their attention on the followers and the Star Patrol Clan who were attempting to provide aid. Su Lin, upon his arrival, did not immediately reveal himself. However, as he observed the unfolding scene alongside the Undead Holy Church, it felt as though he was transported over ten million years back in time, to the very moment he departed from the "Unspeakable" auction. That too was a scene fraught with enemies! Yet, the current situation was distinct from the past! This formidable array was not comparable to the Peak Venerables of yesteryear. Su Lin took a swift glance and identified that all six forbidden existences present were in their True Bodies. The "Unspeakable" Squad Leader! The Super Misfortune Line Snake! The forbidden existence of the Silver Celestial Dragon, now adorned in Starlight Battle Armor! A forbidden existence hailing from a branch of the Golden Rule! And the forbidden-level War Puppet from the auction venue! However, the final combatant gave Su Lin a considerable jolt! It was the mysterious forbidden existence from the Entropy Prison System! Su Lin had previously encountered information concerning this enigmatic forbidden existence within the Wangshu Zone. It was reputed to be a mighty and peerless entity, originally transformed from an exotic flower resembling a Tian Yinghua, possessing immense resources. It served as the undisputed guardian deity of the Entropy Prison System! "How can this be? Aren't the Entropy Prison System and the Undead Holy Church allies?" For a moment, Su Lin's heart was filled with bewilderment. Indeed, such a turn of events was beyond his comprehension. But he was acutely aware of the underlying power and depth of the "Unspeakable," possibly far exceeding his initial estimations. It was conceivable that the second investor, who had remained unseen, was none other than the Entropy Prison System! As for the Jinhui System? Su Lin now understood that the forbidden existence from the Jinhui System had been engaged in a fierce, life-or-death struggle with the Undead Holy Church throughout. They were merely reacting in a state of enraged retaliation. Therefore, it was highly probable that the Sovereign of the Undead Holy Church had gravely misjudged certain individuals! "Kill! You foolish brute, you have lost your mind! Even your death would be without regret! Open your eyes wide and witness the power of my secret technique!" Boom! The forbidden existence of the Jinhui System, having exhausted all other options, unleashed the most potent Art of Slaughter within the Golden Rule, accompanied by a prolonged howl. This secret technique was devastatingly powerful, even managing to carve several bloody fissures into the Atomic Body of the Sovereign of the Undead Holy Church! Despite these grievous wounds, the Sovereign of the Undead Holy Church remained steadfastly focused on encircling the Jinhui System. Given that the "Unspeakable" possessed an extensive repertoire of secret techniques from various clans, employing techniques from other lineages was not entirely unexpected. Furthermore, the pronouncements made at the auction had already sealed his fate as an adversary to the Blazing Flame Clan, so what consequence would adding one more enemy entail? With this resolute mindset, the clarity within the Sovereign of the Undead Holy Church's eyes began to wane, progressively replaced by an extremely frenzied, bloodthirsty killing intent. "Ah!!! You shall all perish! All who dare disrespect the Blazing Flame Clan must die! Among you, the influence of the Unspeakable must surely lie. If you intend for me to die today, then I shall ensure you all accompany me to the grave!" In his escalating frenzy, Chi Hun's Atomic-level Power and Dimensional Truth became more deeply intertwined, causing his combat prowess to skyrocket exponentially, reaching a level comparable to that of a true Quasi-Monarch. In this titanic clash spanning the cosmos, he contended against numerous formidable foes. Even though he was at a disadvantage, this sheer madness served as a deterrent, preventing many forbidden existences from engaging him directly! Ultimately, a forbidden existence often symbolizes the ascendance and eventual decline of an entire clan! Should such a being perish, their subordinate forces are inevitably destined for ruin!
Meanwhile, Su Lin, after a moment of stealth, decided against jointly slaying the Sovereign of the Undead Holy Church. Instead, he initiated a battle against the followers and vassal forces of the Undead Holy Church, fighting alongside those half-step forbidden existences.
Especially the Star Patrol Clan!
Unfortunately, these major clan bidders had already returned.
After all, who would bring so many treasures to this kind of battle where lives are at risk!
In this bloody battle, Su Lin did not deliberately waste time, aiding the "Unspeakable" in exterminating several Peak Venerables of the Star Patrol Clan and approximately one to two million troops.
He even managed to severely injure a strongest individual at the late stage of half-step forbidden!
Consequently, he was not being perfunctory with the "Unspeakable's" mission of lifeline tasks. As for his original intention to directly kill the Sovereign of the Undead Holy Church, Su Lin gradually let go of that mindset.
After all, even if he killed the Sovereign of the Undead Holy Church, what then?
Could he truly strong-arm the resources from the Sovereign of the Undead Holy Church under the watchful eyes of six forbidden existences?
At most, he could leverage the Erosion Spirit King to gain a bit more legacy from the Undead Holy Church. So, since he wasn’t the primary beneficiary, why would he risk his life?
If these six forbidden existences could take down the Sovereign of the Undead Holy Church, then he would seize the opportunity amidst the chaos to let the Erosion Spirit King gather some capital for his future independence!
If they couldn’t, then he had already fulfilled his obligations to the "Unspeakable"!
Of course, if both sides ended up suffering heavy losses, Su Lin wouldn’t mind acting as a fisherman, reaping the benefits while the snipe and the clam battled!
However, a battle capable of killing seven forbidden existences would inevitably tear through the heavens of the entire Blazing Nebula, potentially even directly disrupting the very structure of the whole Blazing Nebula!
