At this moment, Evan Chu was like the embodiment of Death itself. Just a single look from him made the Southern Star Sect’s Guardian Old Ancestor and the Northstar Sect’s Guardian Old Ancestor completely lose the will to fight. Three against one, and yet they’d already lost one of their own—while Evan Chu was still completely unharmed. In his eyes, just how weak were they?
Evan Chu could feel the power inside him growing more and more overwhelming. He knew he was already very close to breaking through.
But now, the two remaining Guardian Old Ancestors had already given up on fighting. At this point, all they wanted was to retreat as far away as possible and save their own lives. With that, the pressure on Evan vanished.
“This kid is a total monster. We need to go ask Lord Sky Tiger for help—if the Sky Tiger Legion’s experts step in, they’ll definitely kill him! Then we can rebuild our sects!”
“Let’s go!”
The two Guardian Old Ancestors, both at the Saint Venerable Realm, had already made up their minds to flee, which left Evan Chu feeling a bit regretful. If a Saint Venerable truly wanted to escape, there was no way for him to stop them—and if he really pushed them too hard, they might just blow themselves up, which would be an absolute disaster.
“Don’t go! I’ll let you fight with one hand—no, I won’t even use my domain to bully you, how’s that?”
Evan Chu tried to provoke the Saint Venerable experts, hoping to spark one last bit of pride. But to these two old guys, pride meant nothing compared to staying alive.
Their talent was limited, and reaching this level had been incredibly tough. To die here just for the sake of face would be completely idiotic.
Watching the two Guardian Old Ancestors, Evan Chu sighed, genuinely feeling it was a pity.
Just then, the ancestral ground of the Blood-Demon race—the place Evan Chu had been searching for—suddenly exploded. A surge of terrifying energy erupted, forcing Evan to dodge; if he took it head-on, he might have been seriously injured!
At that moment, the two Guardian Old Ancestors who’d been about to flee stopped in their tracks. They turned to look back, just in time to see a wave of bloody energy erupt—and then a massive crimson figure appeared in the sky.
The two cried out in shock, "The Blood-Demon Patriarch has come out of seclusion!"
"That aura—did he break through to mid Saint Venerable Realm?"
"It might be even more than that. Look behind him—there’s a red star, a real star! He’s fused with a complete star!"
The two Guardian Old Ancestors’ faces lit up with joy, and instead of fleeing, they turned back toward the battlefield.
"Blood-Demon Patriarch! This brat slaughtered countless of your clansmen and destroyed the thousand-year foundation of our Three-Sect Alliance. Now that you’ve broken through, you should join forces with us and kill him!"
"Oh? You mean this Saint ant? When did you two become such trash?"
Up in the sky, the Blood-Demon Patriarch slowly morphed from a gigantic ball of red flesh into a towering demon giant, surrounded by a swirling, bloodthirsty aura that was utterly terrifying.
He took a long, deep breath, then shook his head and said, "Fan Huo is even more useless—he actually got killed by a Saint ant, ha."
"Blood-Demon Patriarch! Now’s not the time to mock us. You’ll see for yourself soon enough how terrifying this brat is—I doubt even you can beat him!"
"Get lost! Just because you’re trash doesn’t mean I’m the same. I’ve already refined a complete star and reached mid Saint Venerable Realm. How could you three pieces of garbage even compare to me?"
"Heh. Just a low-tier meteor, and you’re still so arrogant. I don’t know where your confidence comes from."
At this moment, Evan Chu stepped forward, shaking his head with a secret smile.
No wonder he hadn’t been able to find the Blood-Demon race’s Guardian Patriarch before—turns out this guy had been hiding away somewhere remote, cultivating in seclusion.
But that was fine—now his power could serve as the perfect whetstone for Evan Chu to break through directly to the Saint Lord Realm!
If his realm were any higher, Evan Chu wouldn’t be a match—too weak, and the pressure wouldn’t be enough. Right now, it was just perfect.
"So you’re the one who killed my clansmen?"
"What, you don’t like it? Come bite me then!"
"Heh, don’t worry—I’ll make sure you die soon, and you can keep my clansmen company in the afterlife! My power just broke through, and it’s been ages since I tasted fresh blood. Looks like you’ll be my first meal."
The Blood-Demon Patriarch dove straight down, and the red star behind him erupted with terrifying power. To him, killing a Saint ant wasn’t even worth using his space domain; unleashing the power of his star was just a way to test his newly gained strength.
But Evan Chu wasn’t just any late-stage Saint expert—anyone who underestimated him was bound to pay a heavy price!
"Let me show you what true star power really is!"
The star the Blood-Demon Patriarch had fused was so low-grade it was almost embarrassing. Forget the Crimson Demon Star or the Blood-stained Demon Star—even among the ten little meteors Evan Chu had fused back in the Frostbane Dynasty, several were stronger than the Patriarch’s star.
When it comes to foundation, that’s not something you can make up for with just a higher cultivation realm. Even the Blood-Demon Patriarch’s mid Saint Venerable power only managed to put some pressure on Evan Chu.
"You alone aren’t enough. You two—come at me together!"
Evan Chu was still so arrogant! The other two Guardian Old Ancestors had already been beaten into submission. Afraid Evan Chu had more tricks up his sleeve to defeat the Blood-Demon Patriarch, they attacked together, launching a sneak attack from behind.
Evan Chu laughed heartily. Ten stars were pulled straight out of his Chaos World, whirling around him and weaving a giant net of starlight. The entire world was shrouded in his net, and under its cover, the faces of the two Guardian Old Ancestors and the Blood-Demon Patriarch turned pale.
Ten stars! A full ten stars! What kind of monster was this guy? Wasn’t he just a lowly soldier in the Frostbane Dynasty’s vanguard? How could a mere Saint be this terrifying?
Ten stars, and six different elemental powers—how did he absorb them all?!
But they didn’t have much time to think—Evan Chu had already made his move...
Starlight burst forth, combining with the Asura Tyrant Blade Technique. The aura erupting from Evan Chu was no weaker than the Blood-Demon Patriarch’s—and he hadn’t even unleashed his Chaos World domain yet!
"Hmph! Your power is strong, but do you really think that’s all I’ve got?"
The Blood-Demon Patriarch gave a sinister smile. His huge hands gripped the star behind him, then he forced drops of essence blood into the crimson star. With every drop, his aura didn’t weaken—instead, it grew even stronger!
"This aura..."
The scene before Evan Chu was all too familiar—it instantly reminded him of his battle with Stonehaven.
Next, the star gripped by the Blood-Demon Patriarch suddenly erupted with beams of bloody light. The terrifying power pierced the air and tore Evan Chu’s starlight net apart!
"What?!"
Evan Chu was shocked, inwardly sensing trouble. The Blood-Demon Patriarch was incredibly strange—just another guy whose mind was controlled by a bloodthirsty star. In fact, he was even worse off than Stonehaven; to gain power, he had to sacrifice fresh blood to the crimson star!
This star was no ordinary meteor at all!
