Under Ethan Xiao's gaze, Evan Yang's wounds slowly healed. This was the power of his formidable regeneration—so long as the injury wasn't too deep, the Heaven‑Cold Seed would repair it.
Seeing Evan Yang's terrifying recovery ability, Ethan Xiao stared at him in shock. "You...?"
"I'm healed, but you don't have such strong recovery. Now it's your turn." Evan Yang picked up the Soul‑Devouring Divine Sword and slashed again. Ethan Xiao quickly raised his sword to block, but was a step too slow—the Soul‑Devouring Divine Sword struck his shoulder, blood spurting out.
At the same time, the Soul‑Devouring Divine Sword unleashed its soul‑devouring power. The instant it touched Ethan Xiao, his soul trembled violently. "Damn it!" Ethan Xiao swept his sword to knock the Soul‑Devouring Divine Sword aside, but blood kept pouring from his body.
"Looks like today, it's not me who dies—it's you." Evan Yang grinned.
Even with the God‑Rune Battle Cloth, Ethan Xiao's shoulder had caved in from that last blow, blood still streaming out. Knowing the situation was hopeless, Ethan Xiao retreated a few steps, sword in hand. "Mind telling me your name? We've fought so long, but I still don't know who you are."
"My name is Evan Yang," Evan Yang replied with a smile.
"I'm Ethan Xiao. Kid, you win today, but this is just the beginning. You'll never have it easy in the Chaos World again. Farewell!" Ethan Xiao finished speaking, and with a flash, vanished right under Evan Yang's nose. Evan thought he was using the same old tricks, so he tried to track Ethan by his lingering aura—but found nothing.
"Nothing? Did he really disappear?" Evan Yang muttered suspiciously.
The scenery around him changed, and in front of the altar, only three treasures remained. Evan Yang collected the three treasures, glanced around, and found not a trace of aura. He retraced his steps, but couldn't shake the feeling—something was off.
Using a secret art, Ethan Xiao had already left the plane. But as he prepared to traverse the shattered flow, he saw the area outside his plane swarming with Nether Sky Realm people. He cursed inwardly, "Damn it, these people were waiting for me all along."
Furious and wounded, Ethan Xiao left. Meanwhile, Victor "Boss Nether" Kane and his group sensed someone watching their location—but when they looked, the person was gone.
"Did you notice anything?" Boss Nether asked curiously.
"Just now, it looked like a badly injured person appeared outside, but vanished in an instant," Willow Leaf replied.
"Could it be someone from Golden Heaven Temple? How did they get out?" Boss Nether wondered aloud.
"No idea. Boss Nether, shouldn't you check and see what's going on with the plane?" Willow Leaf asked. Boss Nether nodded, "Yeah, I'll contact our people inside."
After bursting out of the Heaven‑Shaker Tower, Evan Yang found no one around. He spread his Divine Sense to check on Golden Heaven Temple, only to see a formation flickering there.
"This isn't good." Evan Yang was startled by the extraordinary formation, then flashed over to Golden Heaven Temple. Seeing the outer layer, he began attacking it—but no matter how much he attacked, it all bounced back.
"What the hell is this? Damn it!" Evan Yang regretted leaving them alone. Golden Heaven Temple wasn't as simple as it looked. But at this moment, he couldn't break the formation—it was far beyond his current power. Even using formation arts to crack it barely helped. Unless he could gather a lot of people, but where would he find them? And even if he did, who would help him?
Helpless, Evan Yang pondered outside Golden Heaven Temple. Meanwhile, Boss Nether and his group got word that the temple was quiet, so he led everyone toward Golden Heaven Temple.
Suddenly, Evan Yang sensed a massive dark cloud flying in from above. When he saw Boss Nether leading the group—and tens of thousands following behind—he didn't frown, but instead smiled. "You all showed up right on time. Looks like I'll be needing you again."
Grinning, Evan Yang began setting up a formation outside Golden Heaven Temple. This time, it was another blood array, but with a twist—it was meant to confuse and gather power for later use.
By the time the crowd arrived, Evan Yang was already standing outside Golden Heaven Temple, watching them.
Boss Nether saw Evan Yang and felt he looked familiar, but couldn't place him. Curious, he asked, "Who are you?"
"The one you've been waiting for," Evan Yang replied with a grin.
"Waiting for me?" Boss Nether was puzzled. He didn't know this person—why would he be waiting for him? Just then, Evan Yang shifted his appearance back to normal.
When Boss Nether realized it was Evan Yang, he was shocked and furious. "Everyone, destroy him!" he shouted.
Boss Nether didn't dare attack personally—he was afraid his true identity would be exposed. So he ordered the other Nether Sky Kings to strike, and not just them: the huge crowd outside joined in, launching a group attack on Evan Yang.
With tens of thousands of attacks, if they landed on Evan Yang, he'd be dead or crippled. But instead, they struck the formation Evan Yang had prepared. All the attacks were refracted to a single point, accumulating their force. The result? One spot on Golden Heaven Temple's formation was instantly breached.
Seeing the breach, Evan Yang smiled at the crowd. "Thanks, Boss Nether." Then, with a flash, he slipped into Golden Heaven Temple's formation.
Inside, Evan Yang arrived just in time to see Ember Yang and Elena Dreamer being ambushed by a group. Ember Yang was covered in wounds, while Elena Dreamer was faring a bit better—she had the Doomsday Divine Bow, and whenever someone attacked, she fired back.
When Evan Yang suddenly appeared beside them, both Elena Dreamer and Ember Yang were overjoyed. The people inside the formation were shocked and quickly retreated into the shadows, vanishing one by one. Evan Yang smiled, "Sorry, folks, I don't have time to play. There's plenty of company for you outside."
Then, Evan Yang led the dazed Ember Yang and Elena Dreamer away, leaving Golden Heaven Temple. Boss Nether and his group only saw a flash of light disappear before their eyes—Evan Yang had used the Realm‑Shuttle Pen to escape.
"Damn it, what just happened?" Boss Nether roared in fury.
"When he went in, I saw a flash of light come out and then vanish," Willow Leaf said, frowning.

"Let's break through Golden Heaven Temple first. No matter who he is or who else is with him, everyone from Golden Heaven Temple must be wiped out." Boss Nether was fuming. To him, Golden Heaven Temple was now the perfect place to vent his anger—and he was determined to seize their divine artifacts.
Inside Golden Heaven Temple, Tao Lin and the others saw Evan Yang and his companions escape, so they withdrew from the formation. But when they looked outside, all they saw was a vast, dark mass—and before they could react, tens of thousands of attacks shattered their bodies.
Only a few stronger souls remained. Boss Nether ordered his people to collect these souls. By now, Golden Heaven Temple's seventy‑two halls were nothing but ruins.
Seeing Golden Heaven Temple in such a state, Tao Lin was furious. He glared at Boss Nether and demanded, "Who are you people?"
"Me? I'm from the Nether Sky Realm. Where are your divine artifacts?" Boss Nether replied, then asked.
"Nether Sky Realm? You really have some nerve, daring to destroy our Golden Heaven Temple! And you call this looting in the face of disaster!" Tao Lin shouted angrily.
"That's right, we're looting while the place burns. So, tell me—if you don't, I'll destroy your soul," Boss Nether said coldly.
"They're in the Heaven‑Shaker Tower. Do you dare go in? With your lot, you don't have the guts. So what if I tell you?" Tao Lin laughed.
Boss Nether sneered at the distant tower, "It's just a tower. What's so special about it? Watch us destroy it."
"Then I'll be watching," Tao Lin said with a laugh. Boss Nether glanced at the tower and ordered Willow Leaf and the others, "Everyone, lock onto that tower and attack! Break it for me!"
The Nether Sky Realm people received the order and all aimed their attacks at the tower. The crowd saw a flash of light around the tower as countless attacks struck it—but not a single mark was left.
"Ha! I told you—you can't do it!" Tao Lin laughed heartily.
Boss Nether hadn't expected Golden Heaven Temple to have such a powerful tower. He frowned, "What kind of tower is this?"
"The Heaven‑Shaker Tower—a divine artifact. But this isn't something just anyone can shake," Tao Lin replied with a smile.
"If we can't break it, we'll just go in," Boss Nether said, not a fool himself. He sized up the situation and smiled.
Tao Lin looked at Boss Nether and, thinking of the sect master inside the tower, smiled, "Our sect master is in there. If you're interested, go on in. The divine artifacts are inside, too."
Tao Lin had no idea what was happening inside Heaven‑Shaker Tower. He still thought Sect Master Ethan Xiao was inside.
Hearing that Golden Heaven Temple's sect master was inside, Boss Nether pondered, then ordered Willow Leaf and the others, "Go lure the people inside out. Only outside can our numbers make a difference."
Willow Leaf and the others nodded, then led some people into Heaven‑Shaker Tower.
The crowd outside waited. After a while, seeing no one come out, Boss Nether thought something had happened and sent more people in. More and more entered, but none came back out.
Tao Lin was startled when he saw this. "Looks like everyone inside is dead," he said.
"Shut up!" Boss Nether snapped.
"Whatever. Let's see what you can do," Tao Lin said with a smile.
Boss Nether kept waiting until those people finally emerged from the tower—unscathed, but looking confused and suspicious.
"What was it like inside?" Boss Nether asked.
"It was all a maze. We didn't see anyone—everyone inside was one of ours," Willow Leaf replied.
Boss Nether turned to Tao Lin. "Your sect master really is inside? And the divine artifacts are in there too?"
"Really, it's true. Not a word of a lie. Damn, what is going on here?" Tao Lin muttered suspiciously, seeing the people come out unharmed.
"You brat, you don't even bother to act when you lie. Looks like you're asking for death." Furious at being deceived, Boss Nether vented his anger on Tao Lin. No matter what methods Boss Nether and his men used, Tao Lin knew nothing.
In the end, Boss Nether didn't find the divine artifacts or the people. Instead, he managed to offend Golden Heaven Temple. Even though everyone in the temple had been wiped out, Boss Nether still felt uneasy.
