Fierce Battle with Darren Lanford

2/14/2026

Words of Flowing Light!

Finally forced, Marcus Pearlstream unleashed his Space Domain. Lynton Chu had no choice but to settle down and retreat several paces.

He was a special lifeform created by Chu Linfeng using a Star Soul and Perfect Blood, possessing immense Stellar Power. His main weakness was that he hadn't comprehended any powers of his own; all his battle power came from the Chaos World’s space, and he couldn’t use his own Space Domain.

So, the moment Marcus Pearlstream’s Space Domain appeared, Lynton Chu was instantly suppressed.

The battlefield in this outer starfield wasn’t far from where Nathan Yates and Marcus Inkblood were fighting. Seeing both of Chu Linfeng’s forms appear in the outer domain and clash with two mid Saint Venerables, Nathan was shocked.

Was he really planning to take on two at once with just Saint Lord cultivation?

Up to now, Nathan still believed both Lynton Chu and Chu Linfeng were just split bodies of that mysterious powerhouse. So seeing these two 'avatars' go head-to-head with two mid Saint Venerables, he was left speechless by the shock.

“Since that's the case... I won't let him look down on me either! If he can fight with just Saint Lord cultivation, then I won't bully you! Marcus Inkblood, prepare to die!”

Nathan withdrew his Space Domain and began a wild bombardment against Marcus Inkblood’s Space Domain. Yet this mid Saint Venerable could only defend—he had no chance to fight back!

Meanwhile, Chu Linfeng’s true body and Darren Lanford’s battle officially began. When the Chaos Space Domain was unleashed, even a mid Saint Venerable couldn’t fully suppress it.

"Hahaha! Impossible! Not only will I not be the next to fall, I'll be the first to snatch your stars. You're just an ant at early Saint Lord—way too weak!"

Darren Lanford couldn't hold back any longer—he lunged to seize Evan's stars, his aura surging even higher. This was his true peak battle strength!

"Definitely unusual..."

Evan Chu felt a heavy sense of threat and the pressure of death. Facing a mid Saint Venerable head-on, even the aura alone was a formidable force. If he wanted to kill this opponent...

"I'll need some tricks to pull this off."

Thinking fast, Evan gripped the Desolate Dragon Saber and charged forward.

Right now, aside from his Light-element avatar, all eight other element avatars were guarding his wives and beauties below. Evan was still helping to tie down Marcus Pearlstream, so against Darren Lanford's full eruption, he had to face it alone!

No one could help him—he had to rely on his own power to truly face a mid Saint Venerable. Evan knew only by winning this fight could he quickly seize the Pearl-Mountain Star-Region, and then that star-rich domain below would welcome a new master.

"In that case... let's fight!"

Roar~

The Desolate Dragon Saber's dragon soul let out a long roar, shaking the battlefield. Evan unleashed three consecutive slashes of the Asura Tyrant Saber Art.

Asura Tyrant Saber – Immediate Execution Slash!

Asura Tyrant Saber – No-Pardon Kill Slash!

And his newly mastered move: Asura Tyrant Saber – Void-Shattering Slash!

Three blood-red saber beams, each stronger than the last, slashed toward Darren Lanford's brow, chest, and lower body—his vital points.

"Your power's not bad, but if that's all you've got, it's nowhere near enough!"

Darren Lanford enlarged his giant battle-axe hundreds of times, making it ten thousand zhang across. With fierce winds and surging Stellar Power, he swung to cleave Evan down.

Boom!

The two forces collided—Evan's three blood-red saber beams were instantly shattered. The giant axe, carrying the will to kill, shot straight for Evan's skull.

Boom boom boom!

Another round of violent explosions erupted. In a panic, Evan used his Chaos Space Domain to block the devastating blow, then rapidly retreated.

The Crimson Demon Star, two Blood-Fiend Stars, and ten powerful meteors all flared, joining the fight to aid Evan.

But in the next instant, Darren Lanford unleashed another overwhelming attack, smashing through everything. Bang—Evan was sent flying, so far he vanished from sight.

"Oh? That weak? Is that all you've got?"

Darren Lanford chuckled darkly, convinced Evan had been utterly defeated and blasted into an outer-domain spatial crevice, where survival was nearly impossible.

Staring at the thirteen stars floating in the void, Darren Lanford laughed out loud.

"Such powerful stars—an ant like you doesn't deserve them."

Off in the distance, Nathan Yates' eyes flickered. "Did he... just lose?"

The result was unexpected. Nathan had believed the confident Evan would be the final victor, but now saw his stars about to be seized by Lanford!

Had he chosen wrong? Was Evan not the man he thought?

Lynton Chu was still locked in fierce battle with Marcus Pearlstream. Marcus had exhausted every trick but couldn't harm Lynton; meanwhile, Lynton was held back by Marcus's Space Domain and couldn't get close, forced to keep maneuvering.

Only Lynton knew the truth—the fight between Evan and Lanford was far from over. How could Evan possibly lose so easily?

The next moment, Lanford relaxed his soul and tried to fuse with the thirteen stars Evan had deliberately left behind. The instant he touched them—without even probing their attributes—he suddenly felt a force pulling at the power inside him.

"No! What's happening? How can this be!"

Lanford began to scream in terror—his power was draining away at lightning speed!

"Heh! Only now do you realize? Isn't it too late? Starshift Reversal! Time for you to die!"

Evan's figure reappeared before Lanford without warning. At the same time, seven even brighter stars flared behind him—the Big Dipper!

A giant energy hand began to form in the void above. Lanford felt his Stellar Power and fused stars slipping out of his control!

The thirteen stars began to tremble violently, emitting streams of Stellar Power that tried to break free from Lanford's grasp.

Lanford's face twisted in shock and fury—he roared, desperately trying to reclaim control, but the force draining him only grew stronger.

Evan's eyes narrowed, his aura surging. The Big Dipper behind him blazed, and the giant energy hand descended, locking onto Lanford's soul and stars.

"You want my stars? Then pay the price!" Evan's voice thundered, echoing through the void.

Lanford screamed, his Stellar Power draining away as the thirteen stars began to break free and drift toward Evan.

Evan seized the opportunity, activating Starshift Reversal at full force. The giant energy hand snatched the stars and Stellar Power, ripping them away from Lanford.

Lanford's body shuddered violently—his aura collapsed, and he was left gasping, powerless.

Evan stood tall, the thirteen stars swirling around him, his aura soaring ever higher.

The battlefield fell silent—all eyes fixed on Evan, who now held the power to dominate the Pearl-Mountain Star-Region.

The next moment would decide the fate of the Dynasty Struggle.
