Right now, Evan Chu just wants to burst out laughing. He finally understands what kind of three supreme artifacts his master actually left him!
He'd been blaming himself for thinking the three artifacts were destroyed, feeling too ashamed to face the experts of Frostbane Divine Palace. But now he realizes—he was the one who truly awakened the final forms of all three supreme artifacts!
And it seems even his master never knew this would happen. Maybe it was because Evan Chu himself existed here that these three supreme artifacts finally got a chance to evolve.
The Frostbane Divine Sword has become a Heart‑Sword that moves at a single thought, the Ethereal Divine Shuttle has turned into an ultimate technique that lets him pierce through all realms with a single thought, and now...
Inside his Chaos World Domain, he's also fully mastered the time power once held by the Timewheel Bracelet—in other words, the Law of Time he now commands!
Within his Chaos World Domain, all it takes is a single thought—he can easily alter the flow of time in his inner world! Just now, Evan Chu was wondering how to accelerate the Big Dipper by a hundred years so it could finish refining and evolving the Blood‑stained Demon Star. But in the very next moment, he felt his soul power draining rapidly.
At first, he could hardly believe something so miraculous had happened. But then he saw the fish in his inner sea—all grown massive. It was obvious: a full century had already passed inside his Chaos World!
Evan Chu glanced up at the endless void above and let out a sigh. Sure enough, luck really has always been on his side.
He still doesn't understand what the Spirit Lord means when he keeps talking about a 'chosen' person and a 'third party,' but Evan Chu knows—being 'chosen' is something the Spirit Lord must be insanely jealous of.
Everything the Spirit Lord has done, all those years of scheming, was for one thing: to steal away Evan Chu's chance at being chosen!
Or maybe, the Spirit Lord had already glimpsed the heavenly secrets a hundred thousand years before Evan Chu was even born. This guy who stole the Dark Origin Spirit was born a thief—he snatched a piece of fate back then and learned what made Lord Frostbane the 'chosen third party.'
So, the plan to fuse with the Crimson Demon Star and steal the chosen one's opportunity officially began.
The Spirit Lord possesses knowledge that surpasses the Three Realms, and that means he also knows plenty of methods beyond the Three Realms—like the Illusion‑Array Space Domain. But the moment he gained this power, he could no longer have a normal Three Realms body. That's why he set his sights on Lord Shadowdrake, since that race doesn't even need a physical body to exist.
Besides that, the Spirit Lord's true identity must be linked to Heavenblade Sect—otherwise, why would he choose Heavenblade Sect as the foundation for his entire scheme?
That explains everything—the War of the Gods, the fall of Lord Frostbane, Flowerfallen Heaven, Stone Heaven, and all the arrangements laid out over a hundred thousand years.
There's just one thing Evan Chu still can't figure out—the truth behind the Ninefold Divine Sovereign and the existence of Ninefold Stellar Transformation.
But after Evan Chu fully comprehended Ninefold Stellar Transformation and the Ninefold Golden‑Body Codex, he knew for sure—there's a massive secret hidden behind all this! And the source of every secret lies with the Ninefold Divine Sovereign.
Evan Chu slowly closed his eyes and felt a new surge of Stellar Power rising inside him. He realized his Stellar Power was no longer just the Big Dipper—it was already showing signs of evolving in a whole new direction.
It sounds like a long process, but really—from the moment the Spirit Lord finished speaking and unleashed the Illusion‑Array Space Domain, to Evan Chu triggering the Law of Time in his Chaos World and then opening his eyes again—the whole thing took just a single breath.
The moment the Illusion‑Array Space Domain formed, the Spirit Lord couldn't wait to summon the Crimson Demon Star. Its overwhelming power flooded the endless void, venting all the rage he'd built up from being outplayed by Evan Chu.
"Between us, it ends here!"
"That's right, it should end now."
Evan Chu replied as well, but his body remained absolutely calm—no ripples, no power surging around him.
No Stellar Power, no elemental laws, not even his Ninefold Golden‑Body Codex avatars—Evan Chu had withdrawn everything.
To the Spirit Lord, it looked like Evan Chu had just given up and was waiting to die.
"Let me destroy you with my strongest power—think of it as my final respect. After all, it took me a hundred thousand years to reach this point. If someone like Gavin Shang can be impressed by you, then dying here is your honor."
Gavin Shang? So that's the Spirit Lord's real name.
Evan Chu felt that name was strangely familiar, and suddenly understood the Spirit Lord's true identity—he was the founding ancestor of Heavenblade Sect! The one who once stood at the very peak of the Three Realms, and then vanished without a trace...
But now, how could he return as the Spirit Lord and reappear in the Three Realms? Wasn't he supposed to have reached the peak long ago—so why is he here now...?
Before Evan Chu could figure it out, Gavin Shang was already driving the Crimson Demon Star straight at him.
But now, this so-called strongest power of Gavin Shang looked pretty weak to Evan Chu.
The Big Dipper already surpassed the Crimson Demon Star—and now, with the Blood‑stained Demon Star's power added in, it was a complete suppression!
What's more, after grasping the Big Dipper, Evan Chu sensed that his Ninefold Stellar Transformation had reached a whole new realm—and a terrifying new move flashed through his mind.
At that moment, seeing the Crimson Demon Star, Evan Chu couldn't help but instinctively prepare to strike.
"Star‑Snatching Hand!"
With a low shout, Evan Chu summoned seven stars above the endless void—the Big Dipper. Each star blazed with dazzling light, forming the Big Dipper Seven‑Star Array. At the center of the array, a massive hand of gathered stellar energy took shape.
"That's the Big Dipper Seven‑Star Array! Impossible! How could you possess the power of the Big Dipper? Such overwhelming stellar force—there's no way you could have mastered it without me noticing!"
The Spirit Lord panicked at the sight of the Big Dipper—not just because its power could rival the Crimson Demon Star, but because the Big Dipper was the perfect manifestation of Ninefold Stellar Transformation!
At first, Gavin Shang had hoped Evan Chu hadn't mastered that terrifying move. After all, if Evan had only summoned the Big Dipper after entering the endless void, maybe Gavin Shang still had a chance.
He prayed Evan Chu wouldn't fully grasp the Big Dipper's power so quickly—if that happened, maybe he still had a sliver of hope! But when the giant stellar hand appeared above the endless void, Gavin Shang was utterly crushed.
