Devouring Evolution: I Reborn as an Arctic Wolf Chapter 1723 - 971: Super Star War, Final Curtain Call

Following Qing Ming’s departure, the instability within the Haori Star System intensified, growing more turbulent by the second.

The cause was clear: the Lord of the Radiant Sun was being systematically consumed at an accelerating pace!

"Wolf Lord! What sort of miraculous power is this? How can you possibly refine and isolate a Level 5 Star Source?"

At this moment, trapped within the Sea of Destiny of the Wolf Pack Civilization, the Lord of the Radiant Sun was on the brink of total collapse.

Though he was at death’s door, a fragment of his Divine Soul and True Spirit persisted,

allowing him to experience the terrifyingly dominant way the Wolf Lord refined his energy.

His half-step taboo Divine Soul and True Spirit were unable to endure it, and now, even the Level 5 Life Star Source was failing to hold its ground.

This was due to one specific color concealed within the Wolf Lord's fifteen bands of Divine Light.

It was a shade of absolute black, a void so profound that it seemed capable of swallowing every form of energy it encountered.

This power felt unnervingly alien, as if it were a force that had no business existing in the natural world.

Neither the corrosive Phantom Demon Clan nor the gluttonous Devouring Star Beast Clan could boast such a level of devouring potency.

Furthermore, this primordial energy gave the Lord of the Radiant Sun the sensation of confronting the Starry Sky Will itself—the very source of ancient power from the dawn of the universe.

Despite its current small scale, resembling a flickering flame within the Wolf Lord’s body, it possessed the fierce intent to reduce everything to ash.

Driven by the Wolf Lord’s focused activation, even the resilient Star Source began to fracture, its edges liquefying under the strain,

while the immense essence energy—the fundamental origin of a planet—was consumed by that tiny flame to empower the Wolf Lord.

Consequently, the Wolf Lord’s physical form, already at its zenith, underwent further evolution and strengthening through this massive influx of nourishment.

Even the meager Star Energy he previously held began to swell rapidly, fueled by the melting Level 5 Star Source.

The gap between star levels was an insurmountable chasm.

A Level 5 Star surpassed a Level 4 Star by at least a hundredfold in terms of raw power.

Meanwhile, Su Lin focused on the stream of pale gray system prompts appearing before his eyes, completely ignoring the desperate spiritual pleas of the dying Lord of the Radiant Sun.

To him, the spiritual will of a half-step taboo overlord like the Lord of the Radiant Sun or "Nightmare" was meaningless until their life force was utterly extinguished.

After all, such beings never truly accept their demise until the very last breath!

"Ah!!! I recognize this! Wolf Lord, I know what power you wield! I once witnessed a giant of the Angel’s direct bloodline display a similar force!"

The spiritual will of the Lord of the Radiant Sun was suddenly overtaken by sheer horror,

yet the Wolf Lord, hardened by his experience with "Nightmare," remained cold to these desperate attempts to find a way out.

"Hahaha! Wolf Lord! You are doomed! This power will only grow within you until you are nothing but a shell! Hahaha! You will meet an end even more wretched than mine!"

The Lord of the Radiant Sun’s spiritual will became frenzied, as if he had realized something monumental.

Regardless of these outbursts, Su Lin stayed unmoved. He utilized the most lethal devouring power of the Wolf Pack Civilization’s Sea of Destiny, combined with the Twelve-colored Star Refining Furnace, to wipe out the final traces of the Lord of the Radiant Sun.

The Radiant Sun Star Source proved incredibly durable;

even with Su Lin’s current devouring capabilities and his Twelve-colored Star Refining Furnace, he had only managed to melt a fraction of it over several decades.

Even so, such progress would have sent shockwaves through the cosmos.

Refining a Level 5 Star Source was a feat typically reserved for forbidden existences.

Su Lin did not intend to totally destroy the Radiant Sun Star,

so he focused on separating the Star Source from the Lord of the Radiant Sun’s True Spirit, Divine Soul, and Origin.

Once they were disconnected, finishing off the Lord of the Radiant Sun would be a simple task.

After another few decades of patient refining, as the Radiant Sun Star Source was finally exposed, the Lord of the Radiant Sun—who had been playing dead in hopes of a counterattack—could no longer maintain his facade.

He began projecting his spiritual will once more.

Having killed many peerless overlords, one learns that no matter how mighty they appear, all beings harbor a primal urge to survive when the end is near.

It isn't necessarily a fear of death, but rather the weight of their unfinished legacies and ambitions;

if there is even a shadow of a chance to live, they will take it.

Even a sovereign of the Royal Path like the Lord of the Radiant Sun was no exception to this rule.

Sadly for him, the Wolf Lord remained unresponsive to his words,

leading the once-great emperor to eventually resort to the same empty promises and bribes that "Nightmare" had once offered.

Eventually, everything faded into silence.

The Wolf Lord’s refusal to answer was the only response needed.

Over a century later, when the Radiant Sun Star Source was finally torn away from the Lord of the Radiant Sun’s Origin, Divine Soul, and True Spirit, the emperor left one final spiritual message before his consciousness dissolved within the Twelve-colored Star Refining Furnace.

He begged the Wolf Lord to show mercy to the genetic line of the Radiant Sun Tribe.

He also surrendered his soul bone, which contained the Extreme Heaven Realm secret technique, along with the vast heritage and techniques of the Radiant Sun Tribe that had been etched into his Divine Soul.
