Devouring Evolution: I Reborn as an Arctic Wolf Chapter 1776: 997: Star Lord Captured, Struggle for Power Ends!

Previously on Devouring Evolution: I Reborn as an Arctic Wolf...
Public outrage erupted across the nebula layer, branding the Demon Star Lord a traitor allied with the Black Sun Evil Army after revelations tied him to the Emperor’s Son's peril. The Trace Crystal's display of the Emperor’s Son's revival by the Heavenly Ghost restored some calm, but the Demon Star Lord unleashed the World-burning Sky Splitting Technique, shattering the Destiny Heaven Seal's suppression and fleeing after hurling the Ten Thousand Demons Ancestor aside. Distracted by the crystal's abrupt end showing the Emperor’s Son in distress, the Ancestor abandoned pursuit to aid the heir, allowing Su Lin's scheme to force the Star Lord's defection to unfold. In the desolate starry expanse, the exhausted Demon Star Lord pondered his framing before Su Lin, cloaked in starlight, confronted him as the mastermind.

“I know, so it’s really the esteemed guest of the Heavenly Destiny Clan plotting against me! Hmph, to the victor go the spoils, I have nothing to say, but I’m still quite curious about how you managed to mobilize the Heizi Tribe?”

Demon Star Lord pushed hard to rebuild the dimensional truth inside him as fast as he could, aiming to prepare another devastating attack once more, all while expressing the questions weighing on his mind.

Su Lin easily saw Demon Star Lord’s plan, yet he remained completely unconcerned: “Kneel and swear allegiance to the starry sky blood oath; I can clear your doubts!”

“Delusional! You’re just an old half-step taboo; you came alone. Can you kill me? Or capture me?” Demon Star Lord’s eyes burst with fearsome divine light, and he rapidly pulled away: “Even though I’ve just stepped onto the path of dimensions, if I want to leave, you can’t stop me by yourself, can you?”

Yet, even after putting quick space between them, Demon Star Lord’s mighty spiritual sense still detected the crushing pressure that stabbed right into his core.

As his spiritual will connected, the starlight-wrapped figure responded with booming spiritual laughter: “Hahaha, are you underestimating the gap between us just a little too much?”

Following that booming spiritual laughter, the pressure within Demon Star Lord’s strong spiritual sense grew even hotter and more intense.

Next, an almost unbeatable “power” that aimed to engulf the whole starry sky surged forth with fury.

Right away, two entirely distinct “powers” emerged near him once more!

All three “powers” merged, unleashing an aura bent on breaking the starry sky, charging directly at Demon Star Lord: “Come, let me see if your Extreme Heaven Realm Secret Technique can bridge this gap? And let you see if I, coming alone, can leave you behind?”

Su Lin’s mastery of the technique stemmed from the Purple Brilliance Battle Body, now advanced to its utmost limit, rivaling even taboo levels.

With three fearsome “powers” driving the assault, it felt like the end of the world was upon them!

Su Lin couldn’t figure out why the top forces in the Demon System acted so cautiously, always thinking they needed at least three peers to overwhelm Demon Star Lord?

Maybe the Demon System’s endless wealth made it no big deal for them to pay the cost of calling in two half-step taboos for help.

But Su Lin knew his own journey had been full of bloody battles and fierce fights, where he’d taken on stronger foes while being the underdog.

Even back at the eighth heaven’s height, he’d taken down half-step taboos, so why not now?

Besides, to Su Lin, Demon Star Lord seemed far weaker than “Nightmare”.

After all, “Nightmare” had risen from nothing, drifting through the endless starry sky, gathering resources bit by bit to reach half-step taboo!

Demon Star Lord had reached half-step taboo thanks to the massive backing of the Demon System.

The difference in their paths stretched like endless mountains and rivers!

“Ah!!! Incinerating Universe Sky Splitting Technique!”

Under this horrifying pressure, Demon Star Lord, in desperation, overdrew his strength again to activate his Extreme Heaven Realm Secret Technique.

Boom!

The moment the two forces clashed, the Black Hole Chaos burst apart in a flash, and countless shattered stars and meteors across billions of miles turned to powder.

The ripple from a half-step taboo clash could wipe out small constant stars without defenses, much less these simple shattered stars and meteors.

Demon Star Lord’s purple flames blazed at their maximum, and his Extreme Heaven Realm Secret Technique reached its full potential,

But in the clash’s aftermath, there was no real fight; Demon Star Lord’s purple flames snuffed out like facing a cataclysmic storm.

His formidable Extreme Heaven Realm Secret Technique shattered instantly under Su Lin’s straightforward controlling technique.

After breaking the Extreme Heaven Realm, Su Lin’s momentum didn’t slow, piercing straight through Demon Star Lord’s blazing head and wrecking his sea of consciousness!

“No! I surrender! I surrender!”

From a single strike, Demon Star Lord sensed the nearness of death, his broken soul spirit screaming in fear.

He never dreamed a species’ form could hold such might,

The leftover force from the Extreme Heaven Realm’s lethal blow only singed some of his fur upon striking his body.

“No need, you’re too weak! I’ll take half of your Extreme Heaven Realm soul bone, and leave you as a demon puppet.”

A cold, merciless spiritual will snuffed out Demon Star Lord’s final glimmer of hope.

Then, before Demon Star Lord could utter another word, the immense Illusion Demon True Intent poured into his sea of consciousness and every inch of his form.

The Extreme Heaven Realm soul bone in his sea of consciousness split right down the middle,

One half stayed in Demon Star Lord’s sea of consciousness, while the other went with Su Lin to the origin space,

Along with chunks of the refined flesh pulled from Demon Star Lord’s body, since half-step taboo served as the prime source of evolution essence and genetic fragments surpassing other species!

Su Lin’s strength had truly hit a level that shook the world.

Forget Demon Star Lord, who had drained all his dimensional truth escaping Ten Thousand Demons Ancestor’s trap—even at full power, he’d only match one-third of Su Lin’s might.

Su Lin even sensed he might not need the Extreme Heaven Realm Heavy Artifact anymore, as his wolf body already stood equal to such weapons!

“This must be the strength of self-proof taboo!”

Su Lin felt confident enough to take on those late-stage semi-taboo existences or even the great late-stage ones.

Though his Dimension Heart had only formed a seed, with a body tough enough for the Extreme Heaven Realm Heavy Artifact, even late-stage semi-taboo and great late-stage powerhouses would find it hard to smash his true form.

After crushing Demon Star Lord with ease, Su Lin moved them in a blink, carrying Demon Star Lord to a more hidden spot among shattered stars.

After that, he settled in and started refining the soul bone, while pouring even more and quicker Illusion Demon True Intent into Demon Star Lord’s sea of consciousness, origin, and soul spirit.

Since taking over and dominating a half-step taboo took more than a quick moment.

Though Demon Star Lord’s fighting skills, mentality, cruelty, and planning fell short of “Nightmare” and Lord of the Radiant Sun, he remained a half-step taboo.

Handled right, he’d become a key weapon for the Wolf Pack Civilization in the Star Nebula battles ahead.

Above all, Demon Star Lord had clashed with the Heizi Tribe over star core fragments for ages, so he surely held deep knowledge on the Heizi Tribe and Blazing Flame Star Core details.

Su Lin lacked exactly that kind of info right now.

…..

Sander couldn’t stop thinking back to his time in the Human Fortress, where he’d been nothing but a lowly rookie in the human base, facing constant ridicule and even abuse. In today’s resource-starved human world, those rare Variant Species Flesh went straight to the elites or strong New Humans first, leaving newbies like him out in the cold; this contrast to his old life just reinforced his decision once more.

And Tiffany, back in the Human Fortress, had served only as a handy tool for the top brass, no better than her classmates who had zero control over their lives—she was just another piece the leaders could toss away, and after so long with Sander in the Arctic without any rescue from the Human Fortress, Tiffany had grown utterly disillusioned. Now, watching how effort for the Wolf Clan brought fresh Variant Species Flesh, both she and Sander reached the same resolve in that instant.

Su Lin caught every bit of their expressions, their feelings appearing genuine, which matched exactly what he’d planned, since he could pretty much predict that the Ice Age had wrecked human society’s order, and a handful of small gestures would win their fierce loyalty—a steal Su Lin wouldn’t pass up. His gaze held only astonishment.

How mighty must that species be to take down such a terrifyingly strong Mad Thunder Skyhawk, and then fearlessly haul its body right into the Land of Adventure?
