Devouring Evolution: I Reborn as an Arctic Wolf Chapter 1816 - 1016: This Is a Duel Between Investors! (Part 2)

In particular, the massive forces of the Red Sun Empire and the Bright Day System, when confronting the Undying Cockroach Army Group, sensed an immense danger looming over them.

Indeed, battling the Undying Cockroach Army Group head-on would demand a heavy toll in blood just to take down the commander and seize the banner!

Without that, thanks to the Star Sky Battle Flag's ability to harness the Force of Fortune for a time, the Undying Cockroach Army Group stands as an unbeatable force.

Even deploying top-tier annihilation weapons at foil level, they might at best eliminate a few fresh cockroach variants via the Fortune Formation from afar, struggling to deal real harm to Ancestor-grade forces that regenerate from mere blood droplets.

Amid this overwhelming might in battle, the Roach Emperor along with his Undying Cockroach Army Group drew the intense attention of countless eyes.

While they surged forward swiftly through this stellar route, the Roach Emperor devoured the tenth Heavenly Boundary Mark from the Silicon Stone Man King.

Regarding the ninth Heavenly Boundary Mark inside the Silicon Stone Man King and the ninth Heavenly Boundary Mark from the Stone Man Tribe's Peak Venerable, he handed them over to his mightiest pair of War Generals.

Those being the Purple Blood Cockroach King and the Nuclear Source Cockroach King.

The remaining Heavenly Boundary Marks, such as the ninth from Jintian Howl and Demon Flames, were distributed by the Roach Emperor to his elite War Generals.

Notably, among the fresh batch of elite War Generals, numerous ones have surged into Heavenly Venerate status.

For the Godspeed Golden Eagle and that so-called Hao Ri Princess, should they desire one, they could hunt down Peak Venerables on their own!

The Roach Emperor isn't like the Wolf Lord, bearing no duty to elevate rival army groups or premier Exotic Beasts!

Thus, through the Roach Emperor's distributions, his War Kings and War Generals progressed at a blistering pace.

Throughout the Cockroach Army Group, this period of honing sharpened their murderous aura, battle fervor, and savage edge to even greater heights.

Figures like the Godspeed Golden Eagle, Bloodthirsty Grass, and the Eating Spirit Crow King saw nothing amiss in this; they simply pressed onward with fiercer resolve!

After all, securing their desires demands personal struggle, slaughter, rivalry, and seizure!

Meanwhile, as the clash between the Wolf Pack Civilization and the Sea of Star Sand ignited into full-scale warfare,

the Wolf Pack Civilization's drills were steadily honing to flawless execution,

Just dozens of light-years away in the Golden Sun Stellar System, faint glows of light scattered and floated aimlessly.

Right then, enveloped by those glowing wisps, Qing Ming positioned himself in a grand assembly hall next to a hazy silhouette.

Once those glimmers of light arrived, Qing Ming bowed with respect to the form nearby: "Squad Leader, the Sea of Star Sand and the Wolf Pack Civilization have fully clashed. Latest reports detail a flurry of combat scenarios. The Undying Cockroach Army Group has emerged fully as the Star Sky Insect Clan, wiped out the Silicon Stone People Clan, and smashed past two barriers,

while the Hao Ri Princess, wielding the Holy Angel Bloodline, rallies trillions from the ancient Hao Ri Clan for an ambush on the eleventh checkpoint, yet her path seems to skirt the eleventh entirely and aim directly at the twenty-sixth. What might she be plotting?"

Right as Qing Ming's spiritual intent reached out, the shadowy figure suspended in the emptiness, resembling nothing more than an illusion, replied in a cryptic voice: "Haha, what's so hard to grasp? The Hao Ri Princess aims for a genuine ambush, riddling the thirty-six checkpoints of the Sea of Star Sand like Swiss cheese. Strike one spot, then another—who could halt her? Who could guess her following target? Only if the Star Sand Master steps out to chase her with those outlaws could it work; otherwise, these thirty-six barriers may well boost the renown of the Hao Ri Princess and that tiny cockroach!"

The "Unspeakable" Squad Leader from the Blazing Nebula division!

This conflict had even caught Qing Ming off guard, pulling the Squad Leader to project an illusion for observation!

Though merely an illusion, it stemmed from a taboo entity perched on the Fate Altar.

Among Nebula's summit dwellers, even an illusion spanning billions of stars holds the might to shatter everything.

"Squad Leader, do we aid the Sea of Star Sand? Considering there's... "

Qing Ming cut himself short here, since some matters, select intel bits, must stay locked in his mind eternally.

"No. If the prior stand-in for third place can't repel the Wolf Pack Civilization, why bother as the third-ranked backer? Yet the Huangwei Tree Clan's task ends here—send the leader out once more, and should the Sea of Star Sand crumble, have the leader wipe every trace of our involvement!"

That ghostly spiritual intent resounded once more across this stretch of cosmos,

yet after its lingering vibration, it brought to mind the Wolf Lord, fresh to the "Unspeakable" and keen to settle all obligations and ties.

"Haha, the Wolf Lord proves rather intriguing. That intel opportunity I offered him remains unused. It appears he genuinely wishes no more links to us."

Despite being only an illusion, the spiritual intent it conveyed weighed heavily even on Qing Ming, a Peak Heavenly Venerate in atomized form.

"Squad Leader, I suspect the Wolf Lord won't find it simple, given the Red Sun Empire and Bright Day System waiting in the shadows to capitalize. Thus, he may turn to us for aid, and the proxy for that third Mister holds one final exchange chance with us. At that point, simply reveal the precise spot of the Hao Ri Princess plus a few Wolf Pack Civilization secrets—I wager the Wolf Lord will suffer a crushing loss."

Still, the illusion gave a faint shake of its head: "No! We stay out of power struggles—that's our unbreakable rule! Moreover, this region in the Wangshu Edge Zone has lingered in calm far too long; it's ripe for a legend or wonder to arise! Just seeing the sun three times in a day falls short! Should the Wolf Lord pull it off, then I'm fine holding off until he reshapes the Wangshu Edge Zone for a proper deal!"

At that reference, the illusion turned its focus to the farther reaches of the starry void.

Toward the Red Sun Empire's domain.

Home to a majestic Level 5 Peak star, presently drawing in the Star Core Chaos Source!

.....

For that White Wolf ranked as the fiercest being they'd faced among all races, its horrifying strength drove them to steer clear of clashes, while its scornful stare chilled their souls!

Within the Land of Adventure, the eternal daytime sky now hung heavy with ominous clouds, and right now, the atmosphere brimmed with oppressive gloom, as though a tempest could erupt anytime. Bursts of icy gusts swept through the frigid winds over every inch of the Land of Adventure, with all beasts curbing their predatory urges, crouching quietly in shadowed nooks to dodge the piercing chill, and ready to devour warm meat and gore, concealed under myriad watchful, perilous gazes in the frozen wilds.

At the same time, Su Lin guided the enormous Wolf Pack toward their home ground at breakneck velocity. En route, a frosty presence stealthily permeated the icy plains, and their rapid transit whipped up sharp gusts wherever they went. The beasts hiding in obscurity, detecting the Wolf Pack's daunting vibe, let out subdued snarls of caution.

In the perilous heart of the Arctic, such hunter-hunted bonds prevail, and the White Wolf's dominant presence invading fellow hunters' domains set many beasts' fur bristling, their eyes gleaming with feral green light, stealthily tracking the White Wolf Pack's actions.

Once the White Wolf Pack moved on, the lurking hunters could only exhale in relief after the imposing silhouettes of the White Wolves slowly vanished from sight.

Su Lin rushed the Wolf Pack back to their starting lands without delay, and catching sight of the known landscape eased Su Lin's mind a touch. Inside the den, the Red-tailed Fox Wolves picked up the returning scent, wagging their tails as they emerged, spotting at once the ice-dusted Wolf Pack.

Once the White Wolf Pack moved on, the lurking hunters could only exhale in relief after the imposing silhouettes of the White Wolves slowly vanished from sight.
