As soon as Evan Chu returned to camp, the crowd surged toward him—everyone's faces tense, eyes burning with worry. "Evan! Our Immortal Realm army took brutal losses in this first clash! The next battle... it will be even bloodier, I'm certain! It’s enough to make any man tremble!" Nolan Nangong cried out, his voice thick with urgency and concern.
"War means death! If we want to crush the Demonic Realm’s army, we must fight with everything—no retreat, no surrender! Remember the Immortal-Beast War? If we’re outmatched, we’ll unleash annihilation attacks, even self-destruction! Soldiers willing to die for victory—deathfighters—will shake the heavens! No matter how strong the demonic army is, they cannot withstand our fury! No one can!"
"But these methods are cruel—too cruel! Unless there’s truly no other way, we cannot choose them lightly! Life only comes once! Even if reincarnation exists, who can say what fate awaits in the next life? Still, I believe—we will win! We must win!" Evan declared, his face solemn, his eyes burning with resolve.
"By the way, Evan, your duel with that Minotaur Commander—everyone saw it, clear as day. I’m certain the Yin–Yang Demon Empress noticed you too! What’s your plan for next time? Will you face them head-on?" Fairy Lynn asked, her tone sharp with anticipation.
"Next time? Next time, I’ll unleash a massacre—a bloodbath! But I won’t charge in right away. No! I’ll wait until the battle is at its peak, then I’ll lead my special team straight into the heart of the demonic army! I’ll make them taste the true might of the Immortal Realm! Let them remember our name!" Evan vowed, eyes blazing with killing intent.
The group immediately huddled together, grim faces and clenched fists, to plot the next battle. This time, the true core forces of the Immortal Realm and Demonic Realm armies would clash head-on—most of the expendables had already fallen, leaving only the strongest to fight.
Evan also made sure every detail of the aftermath was handled. For every fallen soldier, their families would be comforted and compensated—no matter the cost. The financial burden was monstrous, but as long as it helped defeat the demonic army, every sacrifice was worth it!
As the commanders debated, half a day later Gavin Wei staggered in, his robes soaked in blood—not his own, but from the wounded he'd fought to save. "Boss! The demonic army is savage—truly savage! Their demonic qi is poison, corroding wounds, making every injury worse! I’m almost dead on my feet, but I won’t stop! I’ll treat every soldier I can!" he gasped, voice hoarse with exhaustion.
"You’ve worked hard, Gavin—truly hard! Everyone sees your sacrifice. War always brings death, but if we can minimize it, that’s our greatest duty! Tomorrow’s battle will be even fiercer—steel yourself! Be ready!" Evan said, voice ringing with encouragement and warning.
"I know, I know. There are too many wounded—I can’t save them all. I can only treat those I happen to find. The rest... it’s fate, nothing more. Today I’m spent, totally spent. I’ll rest for a while. You all keep planning," Gavin muttered, leaving the tent, his steps heavy with exhaustion.
Meanwhile, inside the demonic army’s grand hall, the Yin–Yang Demon Empress fixed her icy gaze on the Minotaur Commander, her voice echoing with chilling authority. "Tell me—what did that boy make you feel? If you fought him again, could you kill him?" Though her voice was Selena’s, the overwhelming power behind it made the Minotaur shudder.
"That kid—he’s not human! He’s a monster among men! His defense is heaven-defying, his strength is terrifying! If I face him again, I’ll still lose—no doubt! His attack isn’t the strongest, but his recovery, his defense, his courage—they’re all freakish, unnatural! He must be a key figure in the Immortal Realm!" the Minotaur Commander admitted, awe and fear trembling in his voice.
"A rare talent for the Immortal Realm indeed. If he fights again, send someone even stronger to crush him! If he survives, perhaps he’ll serve me yet. But his true identity must be revealed—no one hides from me!" the Yin–Yang Demon Empress declared, her ambition and threat clear as day.
Just then, Zane Zuo strode in, eyes sharp. He bowed before the Empress. "Commander, that boy’s identity is shrouded in mystery. I questioned dozens of guards, used soul-searching arts—yet none knew him! It’s as if he appeared from thin air. Not a single memory, not a trace!"
"This is no small matter—we must be vigilant! My instincts scream that boy is Evan Chu. Next battle, I’ll confront him myself and uncover his true face!" Zane Zuo said, eyes burning with anticipation.
"Excellent! Our demonic army suffered heavy losses too. Hear my command: tomorrow, we strike with unstoppable force and annihilate the Immortal Realm’s army! Remember—Immortal Realm overflows with beautiful women! Crush their army, and those beauties will be yours—your spoils of war! Take them! Enjoy them!" the Empress declared, her voice dripping with wicked delight and lascivious promise.
"If you crave the taste of Immortal Realm women, then fight with everything you have! Show no mercy! Let them witness the true power of the Demonic Realm—power that the Immortal Realm can never match! Make them beg! Make them scream!" the Empress shouted, her words stoking a frenzy among her soldiers.
Instantly, the demonic officers erupted with excitement—some felt a burning heat in their loins, and certain parts grew grotesquely long and obscene, surpassing a foot! The depravity and savagery of the Demonic Realm was monstrous, far beyond anything the Immortal Realm could imagine. The Empress watched it all, satisfied, saying nothing.
The next day, after both armies had rested, the war drums thundered across the battlefield once more—louder, fiercer than ever! This time, the field was vast, stretching for miles, as the true core forces prepared to clash. Every martial technique could devastate miles, even dozens of miles! Compared to the Immortal-Beast War, this was a battle on a scale never seen before!
The battlefield itself had transformed. Battles erupted in the skies—only those at Immortal Lord Realm and above could soar and fight aloft! The chaos of sky battles, techniques blazing everywhere, made this war a hundred times more intense than the Immortal-Beast War!
Evan gathered his special team, his gaze fierce and voice thunderous. "This battle is nothing like the Immortal-Beast War! This time, any one of us could die here! Are you afraid? Will you flinch? Or will you charge forward, facing death with open eyes?"
"Afraid? Never! Not a chance! To fight beside you, to slaughter the demonic army—that’s our greatest honor! Surviving the Immortal-Beast War was luck enough—we’ve cast aside life and death! Commander, trust us! We fear nothing! We live for battle! We die with honor! This time, we’ll make the demonic soldiers tremble before the true terror of our special unit!" shouted a mid-stage Immortal Emperor, his voice ringing with pride and unbreakable resolve.
"Excellent! Everyone—fight as one! Slaughter the demonic troops, but protect yourselves! Show the world the true strength of the Immortal Realm! Make the Demonic Realm quake in terror at our name! Let them remember us for a thousand years!" Evan roared, galvanizing his team.
The battle erupted! Evan’s words from the night before had spread like wildfire, igniting morale across the camp. Veterans of the Immortal-Beast War remembered every moment of that annihilating conflict—surviving it felt like cheating death. Now, they swore: dying today was worth it, as long as they could drag the enemy down with them! Die if you must, but take the demons with you!
The Golden Dragon King thundered out orders to every immortal beast soldier. Last time, the immortal beast army lost to the Immortal Realm—a humiliation that burned and festered in their hearts. Because of Evan, they dared not complain, but their resentment simmered, a suffocating rage held in for too long—now ready to explode.
But this time was different—completely different! The immortal beasts could finally vent all their pent-up fury! Morale soared—no one would rest until the demonic army was slaughtered, their blood staining the battlefield! Killing shouts shook the heavens, martial techniques exploded in endless waves, and chaos reigned as war reached its fever pitch—this was the true madness of Immortal Realm soldiers!
