Devouring Evolution: I Reborn as an Arctic Wolf Chapter 1926 - 1073: Secret Order of the Heizi Tribe, the Unspeakable Makes a Move! (2)
Previously on Devouring Evolution: I Reborn as an Arctic Wolf...
Even though countless miraculous methods exist to safeguard one's life, no individual would genuinely embrace death!
"War is imminent in the Wangshu Zone. I've resolved to dispatch you to reunite with your former companion and bring you back to your native land once more. What say you?"
A sinister aura clung to the Black Five Heavenly Lord, a ruthless figure who employed every conceivable tactic, instilling dread even among his allies.
Within the Nine Veins of the Black Sun Clan, it's rumored that everyone avoids lingering in the Fifth Vein if they can help it.
Consequently, the Fifth Vein stands as the most feeble among them all.
Yet, certain marks, once etched, endure eternally.
Much like the Shadow Demon!
"Very well! I am grateful, Lord, for granting this humble servant this chance, though I remain unsure which old friend I am to encounter?"
The Shadow Demon prostrated himself in deference.
Truth be told, the Shadow Demon, who once reigned supreme in his realm, ought not to display such submissiveness.
However, the boundless epochs amid the stars had eroded his former haughty spirit entirely.
Furthermore, the Shadow Demon was acutely aware that confronting this Heavenly Lord, even death proved elusive.
Should he incur displeasure, he'd be condemned to an existence of neither life nor demise!
These mere eight characters, simple to utter, harbor a torment only the afflicted truly comprehend as a harrowing ordeal.
"Earth... Wolf Lord!"
Gazing down upon the Shadow Demon, the Black Five Heavenly Lord intoned a name that had once resounded legendarily, so often repeated it blistered the Shadow Demon's ears, as he personally beheld the unparalleled saga of an Earth-born prodigy!
.....
Beyond the Southern Main Star Core,
Within the Western Star Core's Dark Erosion Holy Hall, the "Unspeakable" Squad Leader himself stood before a lifelike, near-perfect projection of the light and shadow sand table.
He hadn't anticipated the upheaval unleashed by the Undead Holy Sect to escalate to such extremes.
Nearly every survivor from the former Blazing Flame Clan had surfaced, intent on exploiting this chaos to fully reignite the Blazing Flame Fire.
Forces including the Undead Holy Sect, Bright Day System, Ten Thousand Demon System, Star Patrol Clan, Star Law Guard, and others might comprise less than a tenth of the Blazing Flame Clan's peak might, yet they sufficed to roil the entire Blazing Nebula into turmoil.
Compounding this, entities like the Entropy Prison System and Radiant Empire lent their weight, forces not to be dismissed lightly.
The Entropy Prison System in particular,
To date, "Unspeakable" had yet to fully unravel its secrets, but it recognized that the Entropy Prison System had already established groundwork for a Little Star Core.
Establishing foundations for a Little Star Core demands five taboo entities upon the Fate Altar, or over ten Taboo Heavy Weapons, more than ten Quasi-taboo, over ten Fate Heavy Artifacts, or a multitude of Star Nebula Great Clan-level Destiny Heaven Seals, among other requisites!
Each option appears unattainable, so how could the unassuming Entropy Prison System amass such power?
Apart from him, the whole Blazing Nebula remained ignorant of a profound truth.
The Entropy Prison System's overlord was a self-attained taboo, akin to Blazing Flame Ink!
Thus, the apparent taboo figurehead was not the true ruler of the Entropy Prison System!
It served as a mere facade!
The Entropy Prison System concealed three authentic taboos, shrouded more deeply than any rival faction!
"Squad Leader, the front against the Sky-Cunning Beast looks grim. Reports indicate three-tenths of the Eastern Star Core's domain has fallen, with the Undead Holy Sect, Bright Day System, Ten Thousand Demon System, Entropy Prison System, and allies digging in. Even the Sky-Cunning Beast Ancestor sustained grave wounds, its blow cleaving a fragment from the Fate Altar!
On our end, while advances occur, opposition persists, making it unwise to commit forces hastily in their aid!"
The Dark Erosion Holy Hall Master conveyed this via Spiritual Will as well.
This round, the Dark Erosion Holy Hall had reaped substantial gains, seizing half the domains of the Heavenly Abyss Civilization and Predator Federation, while annihilating a Star Nebula Great Clan tied to the Undead Holy Sect, thereby bolstering its power immensely.
Still, assimilating these spoils and transforming them into true might would demand considerable time.
And "Unspeakable" had endured heavy losses in the conflict,
Its central base lay in ruins, elite reserves intact, though vast quantities of standard assets were squandered.
Precisely these assets had fueled the Undead Holy Sect, Bright Day System, Ten Thousand Demon System, emboldening them to launch this sweeping assault across the Blazing Nebula!
Such events had utterly demolished the enigmatic aura and esteemed reputation "Unspeakable" once held!
"Understood, yet Qing Ming reports that the Wangshu Zone gears up for a unified assault on the Red Sun Empire. None foresaw the Black Sun Stellar System sparking hostilities in Wangshu Zone, hoisting the Blazing Flame Clan's banner, and remarkably securing broad allegiance!"
Upon receiving this Spiritual Will from the "Unspeakable" Squad Leader, a flicker of astonishment crossed the Dark Erosion Holy Hall Master.
For he too could scarcely conceive that the conflagration had spread to Wangshu Zone.
Composing himself with a steadying breath, he remarked, "The Blazing Flame Clan's dreadfulness is unparalleled; across countless eras, a mere flicker of its Blazing Flame Fire has drawn legions of backers, signaling that this epoch's grandest upheaval looms before its close!"
Confronted by this assessment of the Blazing Flame Clan, the "Unspeakable" Squad Leader pondered in silence for an extended moment: "True, I once dismissed it as a band of pretenders, but enduring through ages with steadfast allies to the Blazing Flame Clan proves otherwise; when hypocrisy adorns one perpetually, it evolves into genuine nobility!"
Yet revival must be thwarted, lest that colossal entity, capable of quaking the entire Star Nebula upon awakening, leave no refuge for us!
"Unspeakable" operates as a merciless consortium traversing the cosmos,
Its presence invariably heralds boundless conflict.
Conflict alone yields the swiftest, most brutal prospects for their gains.
Thus, be it for self-preservation or reclaiming honor after their bastion's fall, "Unspeakable" must prevent the Blazing Flame Clan's full resurgence!
"Can Old Six and the Red Sun Empire forge an alliance to defy all of Wangshu?"
Shortly thereafter, the Blazing Flame Squad Leader issued another Spiritual Will.
After brief contemplation, the Dark Erosion Holy Hall Master offered a pessimistic reply: "Impossible, unless the Red Sun Emperor manifests as a true taboo. His slaughter of the Blazing Flame direct bloodline involved imperial lineage, bearing the legacy of a verified taboo—its authenticity remains in doubt!"
"Why not discuss Old Three? What heights must they attain for victory?" pressed the Blazing Flame Squad Leader.
"Hahaha, Old Six and the Wolf Pack Civilization ascended in under a hundred thousand years; though they surged to Star Nebula Great Clan stature, challenging the Bright Day System and the full Wangshu Zone exceeds their grasp! As you noted before, your aim to elevate it as Wangshu's overlord leaves me skeptical."
The Dark Erosion Holy Hall Master responded with candor.
Nonetheless, the Blazing Flame Squad Leader harbored an unshakeable faith in the Wolf Pack Civilization, which had repeatedly defied expectations and stunned him.
For it represented an anomaly beyond conventional reckoning!
Were it amenable to standard calculations, it wouldn't embody the Wolf Lord and the Wolf Pack Civilization!
"Yet I choose to wager! I'll stake the remnants of Blazing Flame Ink and my schemes in the Golden Sun Star System! Drive out the Bright Day System, and all therein becomes his, propelling him to celestial heights and dominion over the nine heavens! No matter if betrayers arise or how the contest unfolds, we reclaim our shattered headquarters' pride!"
These declarations rent the heavens asunder!
Though the Dark Erosion Holy Hall Master couldn't fathom the Squad Leader's conviction in the White Wolf and his Wolf Pack Civilization, he knew the White Wolf would find the offer irresistible.
For the Golden Sun Star System concealed the ultimate stride toward self-proven taboo ascension!
Across the immense cosmos, amid myriad races, none could withstand the temptation of becoming a "taboo existence!"
Especially a self-forged taboo, unbound and striding boldly through the starry expanse!
