Evan Chu's words left everyone stunned—except for Elena Rainveil, of course. She'd seen the Ice Wolf with her own eyes. But at that moment, Shadow spoke up: "Big Bro, no rush. Let me suppress Sis-in-law's poison first, then we can call him over. Suppressing it might take a while and drain a lot of energy, so I'll need a massive supply to keep going."
"Don't worry about that. Can you absorb energy from Violet Cloud Crystals? If so, I can give you tens of millions to slowly absorb—how about it?" Evan grinned.
"If they're just ordinary Violet Cloud Crystals, forget it—the conversion rate is way too slow. But if you have tens of thousands of supreme Violet Cloud Crystals, that's more than enough." Shadow replied seriously.
With a thought, Evan summoned tens of thousands of supreme Violet Cloud Crystals, plus a bunch of other top-grade God Stones. Instantly, a dazzling pile appeared on the ground, radiating a beautiful purple glow.
"Is that enough? If not, I've got plenty more. As long as you can suppress Sis-in-law's poison, I don't care how many Violet Cloud Crystals I burn through." Evan declared.
Shadow didn't say another word. Instead, his body erupted with blazing red light, and a primordial aura filled the air. He revealed his true form—a colossal blood-red lion the size of a small mountain appeared before everyone.
Shadow looked a bit different than before—now he had a horn on his brow, though it was only about a meter long and seemed tiny compared to his massive body. But Evan was sure that horn had a big purpose.
At that moment, Shadow raised his huge head and let out a thunderous roar, shaking the entire Timewheel Bracelet space. Then he opened his bloody maw and said, "Big Bro, I'm about to suppress Sis-in-law's toxin. Remember to keep my energy topped up!"
With that, the giant lion's mouth suddenly unleashed a massive suction force, instantly pulling Elena Rainveil off the ground and straight into his mouth. The sight made Blue-Shade jump in shock.
"Lin Feng, is Elena going to be okay? Why did your brother swallow her whole?" Blue-Shade couldn't help blurting out.
"Don't worry, Shadow knows what he's doing. This is his special method for removing poison—we just need to wait and see, and not disturb him for now," Evan said calmly.
Right now, Shadow was blazing with red light, primordial aura surging from his body. If this were happening outside, plenty of people would be terrified by that aura, and any divine beast would instinctively submit to it.
Evan and the other two silently watched Shadow in midair, unable to tell what was happening to Elena Rainveil at the moment. But Evan trusted Shadow completely—so long as he could suppress Elena's toxin, and then get the Ice Wolf to produce Spiritfrost God-Ice, Elena would have nearly a thousand years left.
A thousand years is enough for anything to happen. Evan believed that in that time, he could find Roxanne Lin, because Gavin Wei had said that the Divine-Blood Parasite in Roxanne's body could only be suppressed for a thousand years. If it wasn't refined within that time, things would get ugly.
But with Roxanne's current strength, refining such a heaven-defying parasite is insanely hard. She'd probably go berserk at some point, and if Evan hadn't found her by then, that would be the only way to track her down.
"Bro, have you ever heard of the Divine-Blood Parasite?" Evan asked Blue-Shade.
"Divine-Blood Parasite? You really do know a lot. Back in the day, I got one myself, and that's why my cultivation skyrocketed. Wait, don't tell me you've got one too?" Blue-Shade asked.
Hearing that Blue-Shade once had a Divine-Blood Parasite, Evan was floored. What a coincidence—he was just worrying about how to help Roxanne Lin deal with hers.
"You had a Divine-Blood Parasite back then? So how did you refine it? This is seriously important to me—please, just tell me straight," Evan said solemnly.
"The Divine-Blood Parasite is insanely domineering—you could say it's a heaven-sent chance to change your fate. But it's risky as hell. If you succeed, you basically become one of the true elites. But if you fail, your life is over, period.
To refine the Divine-Blood Parasite, you generally need at least late-stage God-Emperor or even early God-Venerable strength. The parasite is incredibly cunning—it can dodge your attacks, and sometimes it'll force you to endure things no one else could handle.
Of course, there's a special medicine that can help. If you can get your hands on it, your chances of success skyrocket. I only managed to refine mine because I found that medicine—otherwise, I'd have ended up a mindless husk or been killed by someone else," Blue-Shade said.
The more Evan listened, the more shocked he became. He never imagined you'd need such insane cultivation just to refine a Divine-Blood Parasite—and even then, success wasn't guaranteed. "Bro, what was the medicine you used back then? Please, just tell me straight."
"That medicine is unbelievably rare—it's called the Parasite-Killer Divine Lotus. It only blooms once every ten thousand years, and then the flower lasts for just three days. After that, it wilts, and you have to wait another ten thousand years for it to bloom again.
Getting the Parasite-Killer Divine Lotus takes crazy luck. Some people will guard one for ten thousand years just for a chance at the bloom. Anyway, after all this talk, you still haven't told me—who's the one with the Divine-Blood Parasite?" Blue-Shade asked.
"Roxanne Lin's got one. Back in the Immortal Realm, a friend of mine used medicine to keep it under control, but that only lasts about a thousand years. After that, nobody knows what'll happen. By the way, where did you find your Parasite-Killer Divine Lotus, and what does it look like? If I ever run into one and can't recognize it, I'd be screwed," Evan said seriously.
"Roxanne Lin? The woman with the Divine Phoenix Bloodline? That's wild. Usually, people only get Divine-Blood Parasites at about God-King level, but she had one back in the Immortal Realm?
I found my Parasite-Killer Divine Lotus in a remote secret realm of the God Realm. That place is insanely dangerous—most who go in never come out. If you really want to try your luck, I can go with you. The flower looks just like a lotus—super easy to spot. If you see it, you'll know it instantly," Blue-Shade said.
Evan didn't ask anything else. He'd already made up his mind—he had to get the Parasite-Killer Divine Lotus. Roxanne's life mattered just as much as Elena's. Losing either one would be more than he could bear...
