Chapter 336: Breakthrough Again, Bewildering Step.
Su Lin was the first to consume the Bright Sun Essence.

Even though the Light Sunlight had been extinguished for a long time, the essence still felt scorching hot when swallowed.
However, this heat was different from the burning sensation of the Limit-Breaking Serum; it was not the pain that scorched the bone marrow, cells, and soul, but rather a comforting feeling akin to swallowing a big sip of hot soup.
Unlike the freshness of the Flora Spirits, the Bright Sun Essence had a rich and mellow fragrance, reminiscent of ambrosia.
It was like the feeling Su Lin had when he first tasted fresh deer blood shortly after his rebirth.
Such a delicious and mellow Bright Sun Essence would be addictive for any species after just one sip.
Under the allure of this extremely rich flavor, Su Lin consumed it rapidly.
During his feast, pale gray messages about Evolution Points popped up before his eyes.
"Ding! Congratulations to the host for consuming the Eight-winged Divine Bird's Origin Power, obtaining 810 strands of Evolution Essence."
"Ding! Congratulations to the host for consuming the Life Origin Source Essence, obtaining 600 strands of Evolution Essence."
Su Lin wolfed down thousands of pounds of the Bright Sun Essence, and beyond the single pale gray message, many more appeared.
A series of pale gray messages flashed before his eyes.
"Ding! Congratulations to the host for consuming the Eight-winged Divine Bird's Origin Power, obtaining 809 strands of Evolution Essence."
"Ding! Congratulations to the host for consuming the Life Origin Source Essence, obtaining 599 strands of Evolution Essence."
....
Watching the continuous stream of pale gray messages, Su Lin's light blue wolf eyes also flickered with an enthralling brilliance.
"Eight-winged Divine Bird? Life Origin Source?"
It was clear that these were likely the primary energy sources that made up the Light Sunlight.
The Eight-winged Divine Bird mentioned in the messages was probably one of the Ultimate Beings that created countless Divine Servants for the Theological Alliance.
As for the Life Origin Source, it seemed to be the merged essence of the lives and souls of many species under the refinement of the Light Sunlight.
Nonetheless, the pure energy contained in both was extraordinarily astonishing.
Just consuming a few thousand pounds provided over a hundred thousand strands of Evolution Essence, which was much more than the pure energy in the Flora Spirits!
Lured by the huge offering of Evolution Points, Su Lin continued to devour the Bright Sun Essence.
As he ate, he also quietly controlled the vast pure energy transformed by the Devouring Power to keep hitting the Genetic Barrier within his body!
After the last blood battle with the Godspeed Golden Eagle, Su Lin had witnessed the monstrous species that stood at the pinnacle of this era.
They were indeed invincible in battle, and extraordinarily demonic.
Therefore, only stronger power could ensure true Deterrence of the World!
Su Lin's desire for strength grew even more intense.
While he mobilized the pure energy to surge within him, a series of muffled sounds continued to resonate within Su Lin's werewolf body.
Boom!
Like distant thunder.
The rumbling inside the wolf's body also shook Su Lin's internal organs painfully.
As he feasted and silently assaulted the genetic barriers, time stealthily slipped by.
About two hours later, after devouring more than two hundred thousand catties of Bright Sun Essence, the accumulated Evolution Points reached the limit required for promotion!
The vast and mystical Evolution Force descended once again.
With Su Lin's strength growing stronger, his understanding of this mysterious Evolution Force also became clearer.
The level of this mysterious Evolution Force was so high, it was mind-blowing.
No sooner had it appeared than the surrounding mysterious forces, as if meeting their bane or natural enemy, were swept clean.
Even as it was being absorbed into Su Lin's wolf body, it was still purging impurities and remnants of mysterious forces from the genetic flesh of other species he had devoured.
It was as if this force that could rapidly evolve all species wasn't worthy of coexisting with it at all.
But this Evolution Force was indeed incredibly mysterious.
Each evolution subtly enhanced the wolf body's strength and also integrated the dominant genes of other consumed species.
This made Su Lin's latent combat power increasingly monstrous and formidable.
Now that the mystical Evolution Force had traversed his limbs and bones, Su Lin stopped channeling the pure energy in his body to attack the genetic barriers.
He began concentrating fully on absorbing the Evolution Force.
In the process of absorption, Su Lin's already radiant silver fur became even softer and shinier.
It was as if a deity was nestled within the cave,
Making other regional commanders in the cave look at the Wolf King with even more reverence in their eyes.
Especially the Grassland Wolf King, Cold Cicada King, Giant Sheep King, Shadow Insect, Arctic Yan-Ou, Ink Blood Caltrop Fruit, and other powerfully strong beings were particularly sensitive to the changes in the Wolf King's aura.
They could all feel the Wolf King's aura gradually intensifying.
This deepened their reverence for the Wolf King far more than any other exotic beast!
Because they understood more than the common exotic beasts, clearly knowing that at the Wolf King's level,
How difficult each step of improvement was, and how much their strength would increase with each advance!
On the other hand, the Black Demon Mink, which had long since regained its consciousness but was still shackled by spiritual chains, was feeling the Arctic Wolf King's intensifying aura, its pitch-black eyes also filled with a hint of indissoluble shock and fear.
However, that shock and fear soon turned into a disheartened dimness.
Because during these few days, staying close to the Arctic Wolf King, it had increasingly felt the terror of the Arctic Wolf King.
And now this already terrifying Arctic Wolf King was breaking through once again!
This made it, which still harbored ambitions and pride, hope to contend for supremacy in the world, feel utterly disheartened.
It couldn't compete!
It simply couldn't compete!
The Black Demon Mink had thought that the existence of the Godspeed Golden Eagle and the Bloodthirsty Python, these two beings that suppressed all under heaven, had already greatly undermined its confidence in competing for supremacy in the world.
But now, the Arctic Wolf King by its side made it feel a profound sense of powerlessness.
Such a monstrously evolved species had already diminished its confidence in dominating the world.
Moreover, even its own proudly regarded spiritual soul force was nothing to speak of in front of the Arctic Wolf King!
Because facing the silver Wolf King before it, it could feel its spiritual soul force trembling and cowering in fear.
It was only the last shred of dignity as the overlord of the central region that kept it from submitting to the Wolf Pack like a defeated prisoner.
But what the Black Demon Mink didn't know was that there wasn't much time left for it to submit.
Had it not been severely wounded and dying a few days ago, its spiritual soul force on the brink of collapse, it would have most likely already become Su Lin's fifth puppet through the Soul Connection Talent.
After that,
Time quickly passed, and in the blink of an eye, several hours had gone by.
In the Wolf Pack Cave, amidst the awe-struck gazes of the many powerful creatures, Su Lin's absorption of the mysterious Evolution Force also reached its end!
Now, aside from emitting a faint, sacred silver glow all over his body, his aura also became so oppressive that the rest of the king beasts in the cave were struggling to breathe.
Boom!
After fully absorbing the mysterious Evolution Force, an invisible shockwave spread out from where Su Lin was seated!
As Su Lin opened his eyes, the pale blue Wolf Eyes flashed with meters-long silver fluorescence upon opening and closing.
All the members who were still looking in his direction lowered their heads once again in reverence, not daring to look directly at the Wolf King.
After Su Lin had swept his gaze across the members of the Wolf Pack Cave, the captivating silver fluorescence in his eyes gradually dissipated, and his aura was reined in once again.
Then, within seconds, the Attribute Panel appeared before him, displaying his attributes after the breakthrough.
Name: Su Lin.
Species: New•Howling Moon Silver Wolf.
Genetic Hierarchy: II (Evolving)
Level: 34. (4,000,000 Evolution Essences needed to level up.)
Vitality Value: 60,560.
Endurance: 3,840
Strength: 3,900
Defense: 3,760
Speed: 6,250
Additional Attribute Points: 240
Evolution Essence: 327.
Talent: Stealth (Grade B), Judgment (Grade S), Hunting (Grade S), Healing (Grade S), Celestial Wolf Howling Moon (Grade SS), Light Protection (Grade SS), Soul Connection (Grade SS).
Secret Technique: Bewildering Step, Soul Requiem.
Su Lin's strength had increased significantly with this advancement.
His Vitality Value had broken through the major threshold of sixty thousand!
A Vitality Value of sixty thousand represented an extremely strong and vigorous Vitality Value.
Such a Vitality Value would be typical of behemoths with a body size of two to three hundred meters.
Vitality Value indicates resistance to injury, poison, and overall survival ability, among other things.
A Vitality Value exceeding sixty thousand, combined with a heaven-defying Healing Talent, could almost be described as an Undying Body.
With the Additional Attribute Points earned from leveling up, Su Lin, as always, added them to Speed.
The further one proceeded towards true peak battles, the more critical the role of speed became.
After the Additional Attribute Points were allocated to Speed, Su Lin's top running speed per second skyrocketed to two thousand eight or nine hundred meters.
Once he employed his Origin Power and Hunting Talent, this speed would increase by more than tenfold!
One could say that at Su Lin's peak speed, he could traverse hundreds of miles in an instant!
As his speed increased, he became ever more acutely aware of the existence of the Space Rule.
However, it still felt as if there was a vague barrier preventing his complete interaction and control, only allowing him to sense it but not truly utilize it.
Only when he used the Bewildering Secret Technique did the Rule seem to tear through the barrier, allowing him to truly come into contact with it.
Moreover, as his speed increased, both the Space Rule and the power contained within the Bewildering Step were growing rapidly.
After this breakthrough, Su Lin's size also soared to over eighty meters.
An eighty-meter wolf body housed a terrifying force capable of shaking heaven and earth.
Claws, fanged teeth, fur, bones, meridians, and cells all received significant enhancements during this breakthrough.
Su Lin had used only about two hundred thousand jin of Bright Sun Essence for this advancement, leaving more than half of the remaining Essence and several thousand fragments of Solid Divine Substance.
These were sufficient to support him advancing several more levels and would serve as his exclusive reserve food for the coming Dark Era.
With these reserves of pure energy food, as well as the previously stored foods and Blood Food, there was no need to worry about sustenance for the next year, even for a Wolf Pack that now numbered twenty million.
Build walls high, stockpile vast amounts of grain,
One might say that the Wolf Pack had prepared to the utmost possible extent!
Su Lin even wanted to see for himself just how terrifying the Dark Era, described by the Theological Alliance as a time when the sun and moon would cease to shine, and Divine Demons would bring about an apocalypse, could be.
If with all these preparations, he still couldn't withstand a mere Dark Era, then that would only prove Su Lin and his Wolf Pack unworthy of a place among the contending Myriad Tribes!
The weak have no choices!
The weak do not deserve to live!
Therefore, if he and his Wolf Pack, now numbering an immense twenty million, were weak, then even if they perished in the Dark Era, he would have no complaints!
Man proposes, God disposes!
At this moment, with a flicker, Su Lin reached the summit of the highest mountain in the Southern Territory Mountains,
Facing a world where the mysterious force that once filled it was thinning and on the verge of completely vanishing, his pale blue Wolf Eyes blazed with an unstoppable war fervor and killing intent like no other!
He was eager to witness the blood-drenched world that would unfold with the impending rise of the Dark Era!
