Furthermore, the spies planted by the Sea of Star Sand across this immense cosmos started to stir, striving to depict the Wolf Pack Civilization as a far more malevolent power than the Sea of Star Sand itself.
In truth, the diverse factions inside the Sea of Star Sand never imagined that in a mere century, the Wolf Pack Civilization would shatter sixteen defenses all at once!
They wiped out close to four trillion outlaw demons from the Sea of Star Sand.
The Hao Ri Princess, at the helm of the surviving Radiant Sun Tribe members, dashed through the endless starry expanse, relentlessly smashing through five key strongholds!
As a result, the Sea of Star Sand, which had assumed it could effortlessly dominate the Wolf Pack Civilization, resorted to deploying the Pig Forces under its control.
After all, despite their frailty, these Pig Forces might prove useful in certain situations.
Yet, no updates on the Sin Extinction Array ever came through.
This was because the Star Sand Master had foreseen it all, stationing a compact yet supremely powerful elite force within the thirty-six defenses en route!
Any stray Exotic Beasts that escaped the Sea of Star Sand's barriers were utterly eradicated, preventing them from advancing to the following one.
“Report! The Undying Cockroach Army Group wiped out the thirteenth barrier of the Sea of Star Sand, sparing no lives, and even erected a Killing Array to transform the fallen troops of the Sea of Star Sand’s Great Army into Demon Puppets!”
“Word just arrived! The Golden Demon Cockroach is rumored to have ascended to the Ten Heavens, unstoppable, crushing seven Peak Venerables in a single clash, along with a rogue Constant Star Lord who rushed to aid them!”
“Heavens, that traitorous princess who joined the Wolf Pack Civilization, treating foes as kin, conquered five barriers in a row, sacrificing a third of her Hao Ri Tribe’s survivors without a second thought and pressing on! She even ripped up the covert note from her uncle, vowing to obliterate him if he showed up! This Hao Ri Princess has hit Peak Venerable too, her power unmatched!”
“Hahaha! See for yourselves, folks claim the Sea of Star Sand teems with vile bandits, but now check out the Wolf Pack Civilization! They accepted surrenders only to butcher the surrendered, stringing up the skulls of every defending Exotic Beast on the Star Sky Battle Banner, even igniting countless Exotic Beasts as sky lanterns, carving them a thousand cuts, and broadcasting their agonies throughout the starry void! At the thirteenth barrier's ruins, the skulls form a towering mound, doesn’t that make them more fiendish than fiends? Should the Wolf Pack Civilization triumph, who’s to say we won’t all be doomed!”
…..
At this point, one could claim the Wolf Pack Civilization’s notoriety had surged to new heights!
It rang true during the assault on the Radiant Sun Star, and as they ventured into the Star Nebula, the pattern held firm!
Even against powers like the Sea of Star Sand, the goal was to utterly tarnish the Wolf Pack Civilization’s image!
For the Wolf Pack Civilization truly resembled a tiger unleashed from chains, a fierce dragon plunging into the ocean, virtually devoid of flaws!
Their national framework, tribal ties, and shared belief system freed them from reputational shackles; they proved even more ruthlessly savage than the Sea of Star Sand!
Lacking any vulnerabilities themselves, their adversaries could only fabricate flaws through ethics and widespread sentiment!
Although the Sea of Star Sand commanded numerous Pig Forces, manipulating and fooling them into support, they failed to slow the Wolf Pack Civilization’s momentum!
The sheer might of the Wolf Pack Civilization demolished the expectations of the Sea of Star Sand’s forces from every front!
In the beginning, the Phantom Army, scouting and testing the cosmic reaches, wasn’t viewed as the Wolf Pack Civilization’s primary strength!
It amounted to a tiny contingent of just tens of billions when it first formed!
“Advance! The Cockroach Army Group stormed eleven barriers, the Hao Ri Princess guided half her allies to seize five, and now this fourteenth barrier falls to us!”
Right then, the Golden Jade Demon Deer, Godspeed Golden Eagle, Spirit-eating Crow King, and Bloodthirsty Grass Cluster were at last directing the leftover troops of the Slaughter Heaven Guards, Blazing Angel, and Flame Angel Army Group into a grueling clash.
They had pushed ahead from the third barrier onward,
yet the stretch from the second to the tenth offered scarcely any real resistance.
The eleventh and twelfth barriers fell to the Hao Ri Princess and her Radiant Sun Tribe’s holdouts!
Merely the thirteenth barrier pitted them against the tenth-ranked magical bird clan of the Sea of Star Sand.
Still, it got leveled by the Roach Emperor and his Undying Cockroach Army in the end.
Thankfully, beyond the thirteenth barrier, the Cockroach Army Group’s various units rotated duties, cutting their ranks from almost thirty trillion at the start down to twenty-one trillion!
Innumerable New Species and Apocalyptic Level cockroaches perished.
The Cockroach Army Group dwindled markedly!
And the Roach Emperor got directives from the Wolf Lord to pull back for recovery and sit out further fights!
So, the Roach Emperor, with his already legendary fame, and his Undying Cockroach Army Group withdrew to the central right flank again.
If not, the Golden Jade Demon Deer, Godspeed Golden Eagle, Spirit-eating Crow King, and Bloodthirsty Grass Cluster would’ve barely tasted real combat!
To secure their place in the Wolf Pack Civilization, not just the Blazing Angel Army Group and Flame Angel Army Group, but the revamped and sidelined Slaughter Heaven Guards too had to validate their worth in brutal engagements!
Who among the Golden Jade Demon Deer, Godspeed Golden Eagle, Spirit-eating Crow King, and Bloodthirsty Grass Cluster didn’t crave validation?
The Wolf Lord had elevated them straight to command roles,
and for Godspeed Golden Eagle, the former loser who doomed the Slaughter Heaven Guards to wipeout, some intense skirmishes were essential for redemption!
Godspeed Golden Eagle threw the Slaughter Heaven Guards into the thick of it first; over this hundred-year blood-soaked campaign, their trained demon shapes merged fully with their beings, conquering half the Nine Heavens barriers.
With the Nine Heavens Mark in hand, they’d have ascended ages ago!
Yet the Roach Emperor, after felling so many Peak Venerables, withheld even a single one from him!
Nevertheless, Godspeed Golden Eagle staunchly refused to ask, clenching his jaw, steeling his resolve, shrugging off old shames, set on forging his legacy in authentic carnage.
“Slaughter Heaven Guards, we stood as a mighty force rivaling the Hundred Battles Army in the Wolf Pack Civilization back then, so do you accept fading into obscurity now? Do you? If not, follow me to seize back our glory and pride!”
Godspeed Golden Eagle alongside the full Slaughter Heaven Guards, and even the entire Blazing Angel and Flame Angel Army Groups, blazed with surging, fervent combat fervor and killing urge,
plus the fierce, searing martial spirit!
…….
Su Lin scrutinized the duo’s faces closely, their emotions appearing sincere, which aligned perfectly with Su Lin’s aims. He could nearly predict that amid human civilization’s shattered remnants in the Ice Age, these two would offer unshakeable allegiance for just a hint of goodwill. Such a gainful exchange, why would Su Lin pass it up? His gaze reflected pure shock.
What sort of formidable creature could overpower a Mad Thunder Skyhawk of such staggering prowess, and boldly haul its corpse toward the Land of Adventure?
Amid the Predators’ stunned stares, a White Wolf radiating even greater might emerged, its velocity so immense it evaded sight, merely a fleeting white streak darting past like a specter dissolving into nothing. When they blinked open their eyes once more, the White Wolf perched atop a far-off hill, raising a skyward howl, summoning the White Wolf Pack to plunge deeper into the Arctic…
This spectacle etched itself indelibly into countless Predators’ minds, bound to recall that gleaming silver-white silhouette of the White Wolf for eternity, impossible to erase.
For that White Wolf stood as nearly the mightiest entity they’d beheld across all species, its dread power urging them to steer clear, while its commanding stare surveying all sowed terror in their souls!
In the Land of Adventure, beneath the ceaseless cloudy daylight, a somber heaviness hung in the air, as though tempests loomed imminent. Bursts of icy gusts, borne on shrieking winds, surged into every nook of the Land of Adventure, compelling all beasts to curb their hunting urges, skulking silently in shadowy hides to evade the gale’s grasp, and bracing to hunt for new flesh, concealed amid the frosty fields where myriad perilous gazes lurked.
