"So it's you bastards who want to wipe out Freewind Sect and kill my brother-in-law?"
"Hahaha! You're really not afraid to die, huh? You actually dare show up here alone—do you take us for thin air?!"
"Thin air? No, in just a little while, all eight of you will be nothing but corpses. Not a single one will escape."
But on closer inspection, their movements were just like anyone else's. It was downright eerie.
Standing alone in the sky, Frostbane Divine Sword pointed straight at the eight God-Venerable powerhouses.
Just like Master Wan told him earlier—these people looked powerful, but their eyes were completely lifeless, as if they were being controlled like walking corpses.
But on closer inspection, their movements were no different from normal people. It was downright creepy.
"Hahaha! Corpses? Just you—a brat whose hair hasn't even finished growing? What a joke!"
"Frostbane—if you were your old self, maybe we'd have backed off. But now, with just mid-stage God-Venerable cultivation, you dare act all cocky?
We figured you'd hide in the shadows, clinging to that Timewheel Bracelet until you hit late-stage God-Venerable before showing your face."
Or rather, did they know his past life as Lord Frostbane? Judging by their expressions and the way they spoke, that was exactly it—and they all called him Frostbane, not Evan Chu.
Right now, Elena Rainveil was inside the Timewheel Bracelet, her divine sense unable to sense the outside. If she were here, she'd definitely recognize several of these God-Venerables—they were figures from Lord Frostbane's era!
All the God-Venerables shouted at once. What puzzled Evan Chu even more was that these powerhouses seemed to know him?
But according to the rumors, these people should've died long ago in the War of the Gods. Yet not only were they alive, aside from a slight drop in cultivation, there was hardly any other difference.
Right now, Elena was inside the Timewheel Bracelet, her divine sense unable to sense the outside. If she were here, she'd definitely recognize several of these God-Venerables—they were figures from Lord Frostbane's era!
Some of them had even become God-Venerables earlier than Lord Frostbane himself!
He could even let Fire Dragon and Han Bing Lang come out to train, eat some meat, and try something fresh.
"Bring it on!"
The first to clash with Evan Chu was a powerhouse whose cultivation had reached late-stage God-Venerable.
Yes!
"Mid-stage God-Venerable? That's nothing—"
But before he could finish, BOOM! Thunder crashed down from the Ninth Heaven, and searing divine fire erupted all around the battlefield.
Evan Chu never struck unless he meant to kill—this time, he went all out, obliterating the enemy's body and burning his God Infant to ash, not even giving him time to self-destruct.
The last half of his sentence was forever swallowed in his throat.
Bang! Black blood splattered—the powerhouse was reduced to ashes, not even a scrap of bone left behind.
"Huh? Black blood? Weird... Even his God Infant was full of bizarre dark element."
Evan Chu's thunderous assault wiped out a late-stage God-Venerable in an instant, stunning everyone present.
"This bastard's a monster—he's even scarier than Frostbane back in the day. We'll have to attack together!"
"Old Six couldn't even take one hit from him. Sure, he underestimated the guy, but still—he's way too strong."
Seeing they still had time to be shocked, Evan Chu sneered, "Too late to realize now. Next, you'll follow in his footsteps."
"Now you know? Too late. Next, you'll all follow in his footsteps."
Evan thought to himself: Are you kidding? I'm way stronger than before! Otherwise, how could I dare to rebuild Frostbane Divine Palace right at the center of all this chaos?
Don't forget—Evan Chu was the reincarnation of both the Primordial Dragon and Frostbane. This fusion was far more than just one plus one; when he exploded with power, nobody could predict how terrifying he'd become.
Snowbound Divine Sword couldn't match Frostbane's full power, but it had a complete artifact spirit. With Evan Chu's current cultivation, he could unleash Snowbound's terror with ease—thanks to endless Chaos Divine Power, its force seemed even stronger than Blue-Shade God-Venerable's own.
So when Evan unleashed both sword arts at once, their power was evenly matched—each one slashed straight at the last two late-stage God-Venerables.
Once those three were dealt with, the rest wouldn't even be a threat. Evan could let Fire Dragon and Coldwave surge out for a little training—maybe eat some meat, try something new.
He could even let Fire Dragon and Ice Wolf come out to train, eat some meat, and try something fresh.
"All together—activate Dark Abyss Domain!"
"Yes!"
Yes!
The seven remaining God-Venerables drew Evan Chu higher into the sky to battle. They knew the fight to come would be even more terrifying, and the ordinary disciples of Skycloud Palace below could never withstand such destructive force.
"Dark Abyss Domain?"
It was broad daylight, yet the seven's Dark Abyss Domain instantly enveloped Evan Chu. It was as if he were trapped in endless night—he couldn't see his own hand, couldn't even find a target to attack.
Fireshift would counter this Dark Abyss Domain perfectly, but it would also waste a golden opportunity... The elemental Spirit Pearl in his dantian wasn't saturated with dark element yet.
If he could use this chance to comprehend and devour the surging dark element, maybe he could complete Darkshift in one go!
A wild thought flashed through Evan Chu's mind—he was turning this deadly battlefield into his own cultivation ground.
"Ha! He's trapped—now he's just a lamb waiting to be slaughtered. We can take our time tormenting him!"
"Once, he was Frostbane God-Venerable? Big deal!"
Even as they mocked, the God-Venerables kept attacking, launching their techniques at Evan Chu.
But with Earthshift at fourth mastery, Starforge Body at Ninth Layer peak, and a Chaos Spirit Body, Evan Chu's defense was unprecedented.
Those attacks alone couldn't hurt him—unless all seven struck together, with killing intent!
"Speed it up!"
Inside the Dark Abyss Domain, Evan Chu raced against time, using divine sense to sense, break down, and devour the dark element.
"Heh—devour it!" Suddenly, Evan Chu roared inside the darkness, and a powerful suction force erupted from his body, forming a massive vortex.
"What?! He's devouring our dark element!"
"Impossible! What kind of technique is that?"
In their moment of shock, Evan Chu shattered half the Dark Abyss Domain created by the seven God-Venerables. Now, most of the pure dark element had surged into the nine elemental Spirit Pearls in his dantian.
