Evan Chu hadn’t expected this formation to be so formidable. Hearing Jade Chu’s reminder, he hurriedly summoned Shadow and Goldwing. With both beasts wielding power at the Immortal Emperor level, breaking this array should be within reach.
Shadow and Goldwing appeared, glanced around, and immediately sensed something off. "Boss, why’d you call us out here? This place is weird—feels like we’re stuck in some kind of formation."
"What do you think? Of course it’s a formation—I’m trapped here! See those four stone pillars? Destroy them and I’m free. Never thought I’d run into something that could actually hold me. Ridiculous!" Evan grumbled, clearly frustrated.
Shadow and Goldwing circled the four pillars and reported, "Boss, these pillars are linked by some weird connection. Smashing them one by one won’t work. You’ll need to call out your Golden Body avatars—each of us takes a pillar, that’s the only way we’ll break through."
Evan didn’t fully get what Shadow meant by ‘connection,’ but he followed the advice and summoned his Fire Golden Body and Earth Golden Body avatars. He quickly briefed both avatars about the pillars and what needed to be done.
At the same time, Evan handed the spirit-nurturing Immortal sword to the Fire Golden Body and gave the Frostbane Divine Sword to the Earth Golden Body. With their combined strength, breaking these pillars shouldn’t be a problem.
Once everything was set, Shadow and Goldwing shrank into their true forms—much smaller, but packing full power. Shadow readied his signature Lion’s Roar, while Goldwing prepared to strike with his extreme speed and razor talons—both attacks could easily kill an Immortal Emperor. No one should underestimate them.
The four exchanged glances, each taking position before a pillar. After three breaths, all four launched their attacks in perfect sync. The Golden Bodies unleashed Star-Cleave, their sword-qi surging with devastating force.
With four thunderous booms, all four stone pillars toppled instantly. The invisible binding around Evan vanished completely. This formation was really something—if you got trapped here, escaping would be nearly impossible.
What Evan didn’t know was that this Dragonbinding Circle was one of the most domineering trapping arrays in the Immortal Realm. It had no offensive power, but its ability to imprison was unmatched. The only way out was to destroy all four dragon pillars at the same exact moment.
