Marshal Goldrake, the immortal-beast army's supreme commander, frowned as Monarch Seraphine hurried over and immediately asked, "Phoenix Monarch, did you deal with that kid so quickly? Why haven't the other two returned yet?"
"Marshal, did you not see what just happened? This time it's really a big deal—a truly major incident," Monarch Seraphine said gravely.
"No, I was resting for a moment and didn't notice your situation. Three top experts went to deal with one Immortal—naturally I wasn't worried. Now only you have returned; could it be that the other two were killed?" Marshal Goldrake asked immediately.
His expression grew serious as well. To kill two late-stage Immortal Emperor-level immortal beasts required a level of strength he understood all too well—especially since there hadn't been any significant energy fluctuations just now.
In other words, no powerful martial arts were unleashed—yet they were still killed. That could only mean the opponent's strength was terrifying to the extreme.
And at this moment, the look on Monarch Seraphine's face confirmed his guess—the Immortal Realm truly had a peerless powerhouse. He clearly remembered what that mysterious person outside the command tent had said to him before.
"Marshal, the two of them have already been slain—and with just a single move. This is the first time I've ever seen such a terrifying martial technique; it's truly horrifying. But what's even scarier is his identity," Monarch Seraphine said.
"Who is he, to possess such shocking strength? Could he be someone from the God Realm come down to the lower realms?" Marshal Goldrake stared at Monarch Seraphine in utter astonishment.
"He's the lord of a palace, but he's extremely young—practically just a teenager. Yet the aura he gives off is so powerful it makes people want to submit. He also told me to bring you a message; otherwise, I might not have survived myself," Monarch Seraphine said.
She did not mention that Evan Chu spared her because of a personal connection; at this moment, she felt that detail was already insignificant.
"What message did he want you to deliver to me? Could it be that he wants me to withdraw my troops? If so, that's nothing but wishful thinking. This time, I've made up my mind to destroy the Immortal Realm and finally fulfill the immortal-beast race's greatest ambition of countless millennia. Now that victory is within reach, there's no way I'll back down." Marshal Goldrake declared.
"Some things might not be up to you anymore. He has two immortal-beast companions, both extremely powerful, and they've signed soul contracts with him. The Wolf King was killed by one of them, who directly devoured its Immortal Infant." Monarch Seraphine replied.
At this moment, Evan Chu continued slaughtering immortal beasts; wherever he passed, not a single beast survived. The Immortal Realm's soldiers were all incredibly excited—they hadn't expected their commander to be so formidable, wiping out every immortal beast within hundreds of li.
Evan Chu's special-forces unit was also unstoppable; after entering battle, not a single member died, and only a few were injured. Their teamwork was flawless, utterly routing the immortal-beast army.
Elsewhere, the fighting between immortal beasts and Immortal Realm soldiers was also fierce, but compared to Evan's sector, it was far less impressive. Casualties occurred frequently, and some were forced to self-destruct after suffering severe injuries. The battlefield was filled with killing shouts and the stench of blood.
Hearing Monarch Seraphine's words, Marshal Goldrake grew even more unsettled. This was a matter that could decide the outcome—there could be no carelessness. "No matter how strong he is, I must kill him. What message did he want you to deliver?"
"He wants you to stop the war and achieve peaceful coexistence between immortal beasts and the Immortal Realm. If you refuse, he'll immediately annihilate the immortal-beast army." Monarch Seraphine reported truthfully.
"Hahaha! What arrogance—no one has ever dared speak to me so rudely. Since he's so reckless, I'll go meet him myself and see if he really has the power to destroy my immortal-beast army!" Marshal Goldrake said, bursting into laughter.
With a flash, he flew straight toward the area where Evan Chu was slaughtering immortal beasts. Monarch Seraphine hadn't finished speaking; watching his disappearing figure, she muttered, "You'll definitely regret this. He's too powerful—even if you meet him, you'll only be forced to submit. You're just humiliating yourself."
After Evan Chu used the Frostbane Divine Sword to slay a few more beasts, he sensed a powerful divine sense locking onto him. He stopped, took out two Jadeheart Lotus seeds from his storage ring, and swallowed them. After such prolonged slaughter, his Chaos Immortal Force was greatly depleted.
Especially after using the Icefire Eye just now, only half of his Chaos Immortal Force remained in his body. The powerful divine sense locking onto him was undoubtedly that of the immortal-beast army's marshal, Marshal Goldrake—a super powerhouse who could ascend directly to the God Realm.
As dawn gradually broke, Marshal Goldrake appeared before Evan Chu, roaring angrily: "Kid, you dared to kill my two favorite generals—today you will die! I heard from the Phoenix Monarch that your strength is extraordinary, and you want me to stop this immortal-beast war. I want to see what qualifications you have to make such demands!"
"Little Gold Dragon, you are truly too presumptuous. To speak such words in front of this palace—you will regret it. If you stop the war now, it's still not too late; otherwise, you will soon regret your own foolishness." Evan Chu said calmly, his face expressionless.
These words immediately enraged Marshal Goldrake. "Kid, you are far too arrogant. Die!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he struck at Evan Chu with a palm. Evan Chu countered with a sword strike, wanting to see whether Marshal Goldrake's palm was tougher or his Frostbane Divine Sword sharper.
For this attack, Evan Chu unleashed Star-Cleave; powerful sword-qi filled a radius of tens of meters, shaking space and sending countless energy storms outward. The scene was terrifying.
With a loud boom, both Evan Chu and Marshal Goldrake were blasted back dozens of meters. The ground cracked and the fractures spread far; the places where they had stood collapsed, and clouds of dust flew into the air, carried by the energy storm.
Evan Chu's arm went numb from the recoil, while Marshal Goldrake kept shaking out his own arm. When their attacks met, a metallic clang rang out.
It turned out that Marshal Goldrake's palm was protected by a thick golden object—when Evan Chu struck it, he realized it was made of dragon scales, with astonishing defensive power.
"Old man, you're nothing special. Why not show your true form so this palace can see how strong you really are?" Evan Chu shouted loudly.
"You're not worthy of seeing my true form. Prepare to die!" Marshal Goldrake roared fiercely.
Evan Chu's heart stirred and he quickly flew into the sky. He wanted this guy to truly submit to him—only by doing so could the immortal-beast war end. To defeat the opponent, he had to prove his strength and spirit.
He rapidly circulated Chaos Immortal Force within his body and soared into the sky. The power of this next attack would be so great that, if unleashed at ground level, it could easily kill tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of immortal beasts and Immortal Realm soldiers…
