Once Evan Chu understood everything, he began circulating his Chaos Dragon Force through his meridians. As the energy flowed, he realized it was growing stronger and stronger—this was the sign of his bloodline awakening. As long as he could keep running his Chaos Dragon Force long enough, he could fully awaken his bloodline.
But right now, time wasn't on his side. Logan Vaughn was preparing to unleash his most terrifying attack, and there was no way Evan could complete a full great-cycle of Chaos Dragon Force in the middle of this. He was desperate—he had to find a way to run his energy, and fast.
Suddenly, an idea flashed through Evan's mind. He remembered how, when he first entered the black-hole space, he’d come across a lot of meteorites. If he could reach the meteor belt, he could use Earthshift to hide inside one of the meteors—then he'd have a real chance to awaken his bloodline power.
After Evan forced Logan Vaughn back, Logan was just about to attack again when he suddenly realized Evan had vanished right in front of him. Logan’s first reaction was to use teleportation; his spatial domain wouldn’t work here, so he could only rely on instant movement to chase after him. “You little punk, where do you think you’re running?”
Evan pushed Windshift to its absolute limit, using the wind element to supercharge his teleportation speed. Now, his speed was even faster than when he’d fought the Black Dragon—each teleport spanned nearly ten thousand li. For the first time, he saw a glimmer of hope.
But Logan Vaughn was just as fast, maybe even faster. That was the difference in cultivation; even though his strength was suppressed now, he used to be an Immortal Lord. A single teleport could cover tens of thousands of li, so keeping up with Evan was no problem at all.
Evan kept teleporting nonstop. Every time he paused, he caught sight of Logan’s silhouette—and each time, Logan was closer than before. Evan was shocked by Logan’s speed, but Logan was even more stunned by Evan’s: for a human who hadn’t even ascended to the Immortal Realm to have such attack power and a heaven-defying resurrection skill, it was beyond anything he’d imagined.
And now, with this terrifying flight speed, Logan was even more alarmed. A talent like Evan had to be wiped out—otherwise, if he ascended and got picked up by some other Immortal Emperor, it would threaten his father’s ambitions in a big way.
Evan didn’t know how long he’d been teleporting. By the time his spirit and Chaos Dragon Force were nearly drained, he finally saw the meteorites he’d been hoping for. More and more appeared, until he reached the meteor field. Testing them, he found most were so hard that his current Earthshift couldn’t penetrate them—this made him anxious.
After searching for a long time, he finally found a meteor dozens of meters across, with stone quality similar to Dragonreach Continent. Relieved, he merged into it with Earthshift and hid inside. This feeling of running like a stray dog depressed him deeply, but he swore that once his bloodline awakened, he’d pay Logan Vaughn back a hundredfold.
Once Evan hid himself inside the meteor, he immediately began circulating his Chaos Dragon Force at full speed. Logan Vaughn soon arrived at Evan’s last visible position, glanced at the surrounding meteorites, and his face darkened. “That punk clearly vanished right around here—so where the hell did he go?”
Logan started searching all around, but found nothing. The meteorites in the black-hole space drifted slowly, making them easy to check. Before long, Logan had looked through thousands of rocks but still hadn’t found Evan. He frowned. "Could that punk have burrowed inside one of these meteorites? I’ll use my divine sense and check."
By now, Evan had completed one full great-cycle of Chaos Dragon Force. He felt his power surge—if he fought Logan Vaughn right now, he might actually stand a chance. But instead of rushing out, he kept circulating his energy, pushing for another breakthrough.
Logan Vaughn, meanwhile, started smashing every meteorite he could find inside the space, muttering under his breath, “Let’s see you hide, let’s see you hide!”
The space rang constantly with the sound of meteorites being shattered. At the same time, Evan’s Chaos Dragon Force reached its second transformation. Just then, Logan’s longsword split open the meteor Evan was hiding in—and a deafening dragon roar exploded through the black-hole space.
This time, Evan’s transformation into a Golden Dragon was completely involuntary. Instantly, his dragon body radiated blinding golden light, and where there had once been eight claws, a ninth slowly grew out. A desolate, primordial aura flooded the entire black-hole space—the breath of the Primordial Dragon itself.
In that instant, Evan’s Primordial Dragon Bloodline fully awakened. His body was flooded with overwhelming power, and for a moment, he felt like he could look down on all beneath heaven. What he craved now was a worthy opponent to truly test himself against.
Logan Vaughn, meanwhile, stared in shock at the golden giant dragon filling the black-hole space. His jaw dropped as he muttered, "Holy hell, that’s a nine-clawed Golden Dragon! Isn’t that the legendary Primordial Dragon Bloodline you only hear about in stories? For this punk to have it… it’s just too terrifying."
The golden light of Evan’s dragon form kept intensifying, instantly illuminating the black-hole space like broad daylight. Deafening dragon roars echoed throughout the void. "Logan Vaughn, weren’t you so tough before? Today this true Divine Dragon will show you the price of offending me!"
Logan Vaughn wasn’t stupid. The aura pouring off Evan now filled him with dread—at least Earth Immortal level. But here, he was stuck at ordinary Immortal strength, nowhere near a match. His only option was to run.
Seeing Logan Vaughn flee, Evan wasn’t worried at all. Along with the awakening of his Primordial Dragon Bloodline, countless powerful insights flooded his mind. He hadn’t had time to process them, but he knew one thing: breaking open the black-hole space from the outside was easy, but escaping from within was hard. Logan was too busy running for his life to try breaking out now.
With a thought, Evan returned to human form, but now his whole body glowed gold, making him look like a war god standing in the void. He circulated his Chaos Dragon Force again, and two crisp internal sounds rang out—like heavenly chimes, so clear and pleasant it was almost musical.
Evan realized that with the awakening of his bloodline, his cultivation had broken through—he wasn’t just at the Venerable Martial Realm anymore, but had jumped straight to Earth Immortal Realm, skipping the ordinary Immortal stage entirely. Even he hadn’t expected this.
Watching Logan Vaughn vanish before his eyes, Evan laughed. “Even if you run to the ends of the earth, I’ll chase you down!” With that, his body flashed and he teleported again—this time, leaping tens of thousands of li in a single move…
