"Young Lord, are you alright?! What kind of martial art was that? Its attack power is absolutely terrifying—it's just too frightening!" The Silver Dragon stared at Evan Chu in shock, unable to hide his astonishment.
Evan Chu's face was deathly pale. At this moment, he realized that his Chaos Divine Power had dropped to just one-tenth—meaning that the Icefire Eye attack he just unleashed had consumed three-tenths of his Chaos Divine Power, far more than Absolute Cleave or Wind-God Sword Art ever did.
"Silver Dragon, check how much damage that strike did to the spatial black hole," Evan said, his biggest worry right now. Otherwise, burning through so much Chaos Divine Power would have been for nothing.
Silver Dragon quickly spread out his divine sense to inspect, then broke into a delighted grin. "Young Lord, the spatial black hole isn't completely broken open yet, but your last attack punched two small holes in it. In other words, you managed to break through a little!"
Evan Chu felt much more at ease after hearing this. Looks like he'll need to unleash that technique a few more times. But right now, his Chaos Divine Power was nearly depleted; he had to replenish it, and the fastest way was to absorb from the Chaotic Qi Mass—even if it was a bit far, the results were undeniable.
"Silver Dragon, let's head over to the Chaotic Qi Mass. I need to absorb some Chaos Qi—I've burned through way too much just now," Evan said.
Silver Dragon knew Evan Chu had overexerted himself and would struggle to fly, so he instantly transformed into his true form—a massive Silver Dragon appeared in midair. "Young Lord, climb on! Let Silver Dragon carry you!"
Without hesitation, Evan Chu flew up and sat on Silver Dragon's back. At this moment, he was like an ant riding an elephant—except this ant was far more powerful than the elephant itself.
He knew the Dragon Clan was supremely proud; normally, sitting atop a dragon's true form was impossible unless the dragon had submitted to you. Silver Dragon doing this proved his submission, which made Evan Chu genuinely gratified.
He could have summoned Old Jin or the Wind-God Divine Eagle, but right now there was no need.
Silver Dragon sped through the air, his respect for Evan Chu only growing. The twin beams from Icefire Eye had truly terrified him—he was certain that if those beams had struck him, he would've been killed instantly. The power was just too overwhelming.
Sitting on Silver Dragon's back, Evan Chu was just as stirred inside. He hadn't expected Icefire Eye to be this powerful. He resolved to use it more often in the future—even though it consumed a ton of energy, its attack power was immense, and it could strike enemies from afar before they even saw it coming.
Right now, the person he most wanted to kill with Icefire Eye was Tu Jiaojiao—the vicious woman who had made Nixia suffer worse than death. A woman this poisonous deserved a truly miserable end.
Silver Dragon was extremely fast, but it still took a long flight to reach the Chaotic Qi Mass. Evan Chu didn't hesitate for a second; with a flash, he dove straight into the mass and started absorbing like mad.
As powerful Chaos Qi poured endlessly into his body, Evan felt completely recharged. In less than half an incense stick’s time, he’d restored fifty percent of his Chaos Divine Power—an unheard-of speed. A bold idea flashed through his mind: what if he could bring the entire Chaotic Qi Mass into the Timewheel Bracelet?
But the Chaotic Qi Mass was enormous, spanning at least several thousand meters—he really wasn’t sure he could pull it off, and that left him stumped.
Evan Chu’s God Infant naturally understood what he was thinking, but just smiled faintly. Evan had no idea about the God Infant’s reaction—he was focused on absorbing Chaos Qi and getting ready to break open the spatial black hole again.
After about an hour and a half, Evan Chu had fully replenished his Chaos Divine Power and was preparing to leave. But just then, his God Infant spoke up: "If you want to bring the Chaotic Qi Mass into the Timewheel Bracelet, it's not impossible—the key is how you use it."
"Now that you have a Chaos Body, it's easy for you to resonate with the energy molecules inside the Chaotic Qi Mass. If you melt yourself into the mass, you can naturally enter the Timewheel Bracelet together with it."
Hearing this, Evan Chu felt as if a bucket of cold water had been poured over his head—he’d never thought of doing it that way. If he could get the Chaotic Qi Mass into the Timewheel Bracelet, he’d be able to recover his Chaos Divine Power at lightning speed whenever he needed.
Although the Chaos Qi inside the Chaotic Qi Mass would gradually dwindle, the mass was so huge that it would last him for hundreds of refills—more than enough, and it would save him a ton of godstones.
Evan Chu slowly calmed his mind, then began sensing the elemental molecules within the Chaotic Qi Mass. The first he detected was fire, then earth, and gradually he realized there were actually nine distinct elements present in the mass.
At this point, Evan Chu seemed to understand: the nine elements fused together were the classic 'nine-nine returning to one,' forming the Chaotic Qi Mass. Achieving resonance with all nine at once would take time, but Evan believed he could do it.
He sat cross-legged in midair like an old monk in meditation, splitting his focus to the limit as he tried to resonate with all nine elements. The process was long and extremely difficult.
If Evan Chu had already mastered Domains, this would be easy. Right now, he was essentially grasping the Domain first, then slowly achieving resonance. Evan knew all this—he was unconsciously beginning to comprehend a Domain.
Silver Dragon waited patiently outside. He knew Evan Chu was full of miracles, and was sure this time would bring another huge surprise. Just thinking about finally seeing the outside world again made his heart race with excitement.
Meanwhile, Evan Chu was comprehending the relationships of mutual generation and restraint among the nine elements. Unknowingly, a hundred years passed, and he was completely unaware—but in that century, he’d already reached the edge of understanding Domains. The biggest obstacle was still time.
At this moment, Evan Chu opened his eyes, feeling a slight sense of loss. The main issue was lack of time—he only had a thousand years, and now he wasn’t sure how much had passed. He’d have to ask Silver Dragon; if that meditation had lasted hundreds or thousands of years, things could get complicated.
Though he really wanted to bring the Chaotic Qi Mass into the Timewheel Bracelet, he had to give up for now. Compared to the lives of Nixia and Ruoxi, this was insignificant.
Evan Chu prepared to leave. Just as he flew out of the Chaotic Qi Mass, he noticed the mass moving along with him. He didn’t think much of it—it was normal for the mass to shift, sometimes even rapidly.
He soon arrived before Silver Dragon, and the Chaotic Qi Mass followed. When he stopped, the mass stopped too, almost as if it were alive—utterly mysterious…
