Devouring Evolution: I Reborn as an Arctic Wolf Chapter 1768 - 992: Promotion of Swapping Bases! (2)

"When the Demon Emperor’s Son begins his inspection of the outer vassal towns, I expect you to be the first to charge forward if any chaos erupts. However, do not actually go for the kill; simply perform some feints!"

Su Lin spoke with a sense of tranquility.

This was possible because the Heavenly Ghost shared the same interests as him, making betrayal an impossibility. After all, both were supported by a terrifying existence.

If the Heavenly Ghost were to intentionally sabotage the mission when success was within reach,

Su Lin was certain that the "Unspeakable" would ensure he understood the agonizing price of such an action.

Consequently, the Demon Emperor’s Son and the Heavenly Ghost formed an alliance of interests that was exceptionally solid.

"Very well, you can rest easy. I will ensure you are satisfied when the moment arrives. Once this objective is achieved, I will be able to clear a significant amount of debt!"

The Heavenly Ghost sent back a confident reply through spiritual will.

Following this, he and his thirty thousand formidable black-robed undead took their places as the attendants of the Demon Emperor’s Son.

.....

Several months passed,

Information from the hidden networks reached the Demon Star Lord.

"The Demon Emperor’s Son has actually requested a half-step Taboo from the Heavenly Destiny Clan for protection this time? Does he lack faith in us, or is he looking to cause trouble? Perhaps the Eastern Demon Emperor and I should remain behind!"

A bizarre, massive species with an exaggerated flat form transmitted this spiritual will.

This was the most eccentric of the group, the Western Demon Emperor.

"Fine, keep a close watch on the Demon Emperor’s Son. If any issues arise, put a stop to them immediately!"

Without hesitation, the Demon Star Lord even entrusted his Emperor’s robe to the Western Demon Emperor as a precaution.

This was because if a half-step Taboo were to take action, even the combined strength of the Western and Eastern Demon Emperors would have to rely on the Extreme Heaven Realm Emperor’s robe and foil-level lethal artifacts to mount a resistance.

Regarding his personal safety, the Demon Star Lord felt little concern.

He still carried the destiny and fortune of the Ten Thousand Demon System; thus, even within the system's core, his life could not be truly threatened by anyone.

Soon after, both the Demon Star Lord and the Demon Emperor’s Son departed from their respective territories to begin campaigning in each other's strongholds.

This was undoubtedly destined to be a grueling struggle.

Yet, a gaze of unshakable resolve was shared by both the Demon Star Lord and the Demon Emperor’s Son.

No creature that had ascended to such a rank was either a fool or a weakling!

As the Demon Star Lord entered the nebula layer, he intentionally guided his chariot to pass near the Demon Emperor’s Son. At that precise moment, he fully released his suffocating half-step Taboo aura!

A master of fire, the Demon Star Lord’s pervasive purple flames draped across a vast section of the firmament, resembling a celestial sea of fire intended to cow the cosmos itself.

However, despite the potency of the Demon Emperor’s Son’s Qi-blood, it remained inferior to that of a half-step Taboo.

The outcome was evident as their Dragon Chariot and standard chariots crossed paths.

The Demon Star Lord withdrew his gaze after a mere fleeting look at the Demon Emperor’s Son and proceeded into the nebula layer.

Ultimately, it was the Heavenly Ghost who unleashed the terrifying aura of an ancient half-step Taboo, allowing the many exotic beasts startled by the Demon Star Lord to recover their composure.

Nevertheless, even as they regained their senses, the powerful half-step Taboo aura remained etched into the memories of the witnesses.

"We offer our congratulations to the Star Lord for attaining the half-step Taboo realm. May the Ten Thousand Demon System flourish once more!"

The hidden agents previously positioned by the Demon Star Lord also sent out massive waves of spiritual will in celebration.

Combined with the Demon Star Lord’s overwhelming half-step Taboo aura, this celebratory spiritual will swayed many exotic beasts and factions within the nebula layer.

For a time, the spiritual will of the celebration rose like a tidal wave.

Hidden within this tide were numerous verbal assaults directed at the Demon Emperor’s Son, aiming to thoroughly undermine his foundation within the nebula layer!

"The Star Lord has reached the half-step Taboo level and has spent years campaigning abroad. How could his knowledge be less than that of the Emperor’s Son? There must be a valid reason for the Star Lord’s advocacy of peaceful coexistence!"

"Precisely! Has the Emperor’s Son ever actually gone out to fight? He is merely a flower in a greenhouse, surviving on the Emperor’s privilege! If he held power, he would surely lead us into militarism and ruin the entire system!"

"The Star Lord is without equal; I am ready to give him my vote!"

.....

At this juncture, the Demon Star Lord utilized the half-step Taboo card to its maximum potential. Supported by the efforts of his hidden followers, spiritual wills favoring him and criticizing the Demon Emperor’s Son spread rapidly from this central point.

Still surveying the system from his chariot, the Demon Star Lord wore battered pre-Extreme Heaven Realm war armor, his eyes reflecting a hard determination.

The aura radiating from him was as immense as a mountain range.

This portrayal of the Demon Star Lord as a battle-hardened military commander added a layer of truth to the beneficial spiritual wills circulating about him.

This led many exotic beasts and various factions watching from the nebula layers to feel their loyalties begin to waver.

....

Standing before the fierce tiger, he looked down at the creature as if it were a mere corpse, cold and devoid of any emotional flicker.

A heavy sense of peril instantly gripped the Invincible fierce tiger’s body, causing the shallowly breathing beast to gasp for air. At this moment, he felt like a fish pinned to the White Wolf’s cutting board. This sensation nearly shattered the fierce tiger's spirit; he could not comprehend why the White Wolf had not killed him, choosing instead to expend effort dragging him from the ice to the Land of Adventure. While a fear of the unknown boiled in the fierce tiger's heart, his weakened state left him unable to resist. Even with panic rising internally, it was a useless effort within the White Wolf’s domain.

Su Lin surveyed the fierce tiger before him with an indifferent stare, like a supreme master checking a slave he had just acquired.

"Awoo—" Su Lin let out a low howl toward the nearby Wolf Clan, instructing them to remove the dying Siberian Tiger and keep it under strict guard.

The surrounding Wolf Clan reacted swiftly, with several wolves working together to haul the fierce tiger away. Its injuries scraped against the earth as it was moved, causing the festering wounds to bleed once more. A narrow trail of red stretched from Su Lin’s paws to the cave entrance, appearing to go on forever.

Su Lin watched the trail of blood, his eyes remaining as still as the waters of an ancient well.

Regarding the remaining Variant Species Flesh, Su Lin intended to distribute rewards based on contribution shortly. This was the event the Wolf Clan members looked forward to most, as nothing surpassed the importance of food for them.

Several wolves began to stare hungrily at the nearby Variant Species Flesh, their eyes shimmering with predatory intent. They seemed to be waiting only for Su Lin’s command to give in to their instincts and lunge at the meat.

Su Lin shifted his gaze toward two tall figures nearby. Feeling the heavy pressure of the Wolf King’s stare, Xiao Hui quickly stood at attention, while Little Lone Wolf kept his head bowed respectfully at their side, a gesture that brought Su Lin considerable satisfaction.

Despite the significant power Little Lone Wolf held as a Lead Wolf, he still maintained deep reverence for Su Lin.

As for Xiao Hui, he remained as impulsive as ever. Even with his increased intelligence, he was still like a carefree eight-year-old child, focused only on following Su Lin into battle and expanding the Wolf Clan’s reach across the Arctic.

Faced with these two White Wolves who had remained loyal and contributed greatly to the recent fight, Su Lin did not hesitate to reward them with three hundred pounds of flesh. The sudden, massive reward caused Xiao Hui to howl with delight on the spot. Though Little Lone Wolf was more reserved, his own excited howl signaled to Su Lin that both White Wolves were overjoyed.

The rest of the Wolf Clan, including the Beta Wolves and Hài Wolves who had performed well in battle, received their appropriate rewards. For a time, the cave was as boisterous as a human New Year celebration. With every White Wolf receiving a portion, those with more energetic personalities could not help but leap about in excitement.
