Luna's sudden appearance instantly filled Evan Chu's heart with joy, but he quickly began to worry. At this moment, her strength definitely hadn't fully recovered—facing a powerhouse like Draxon was extremely dangerous. He couldn't help but say, "This Ancient Black Dragon is incredibly strong. You need to be careful!"
Luna gave Evan a gentle smile—a smile so soothing it was like stepping out of a freezing wind and suddenly basking in sunlight. It made people feel relaxed, warm, and safe.
"Evan, don't worry. I know what I'm doing. Now that you've seen the terror of the Dark Abyss Domain, it's time for you to witness your big sister's true power." Luna chuckled.
At this moment, Draxon's face was full of shock as he stared at Luna. He couldn't sense Luna's true cultivation at all, but the aura she radiated made him feel danger—serious danger. A chill of fear rose in his heart despite himself.
"Who exactly are you? Why do you have such a terrifying aura?" Draxon couldn't help but ask.
"Black mud-eel, aren't you dying to ascend to the Immortal Realm? Well, I'm from the Immortal Realm myself. Today I'll show you what real Immortal-Realm martial arts look like." Luna said, and a small silver sword appeared in her hand.
"Immortal Realm? How could someone from the Immortal Realm appear here? Are you trying to trick me? Fine, let me see how strong you really are!" Draxon shouted.
Evan instantly felt the crushing pressure on his body vanish—Draxon had clearly canceled the Dark Abyss Domain. Now Draxon was preparing to go all out against Luna, no longer paying any attention to Evan.
Freed at last, Evan felt a wave of embarrassment—he still needed Luna's help. Once again, a burning hunger for power surged in his heart. He silently swore that one day, he would stand at the very peak of this world, making everyone bow down and worship him.
Maybe Luna did this just to make Draxon cancel the Dark Abyss Domain, or maybe she actually couldn't fight him head-on. Evan immediately began communicating with the lightning element in the illusion space, determined to unleash his strongest attack on Draxon if needed.
At that moment, Luna soared into the sky. The small silver sword in her hand flashed with dazzling light and shot out from her palm. Luna's hands formed a series of intricate seals, and the little sword spun rapidly through the air, unleashing a storm of sword-qi.
Seeing the sword-qi pouring out of the little sword, Draxon instantly cloaked himself in black energy—just as he did when Evan struck him with lightning. But Luna only smiled. She tapped her fingers several times, sending out threads of white light, and in that instant, the silver sword underwent a dramatic transformation.
In the blink of an eye, the silver sword multiplied into ten gigantic blades, each dozens of meters long. Nine plunged into the ground, encircling Draxon, while one remained suspended overhead. Luna finally let out a relieved breath and said, "Go ahead and die slowly inside my Immortal-Slaying Sword Array!"
Evan had seen Luna's Immortal-Slaying Sword Array before, but never like this. Whether it was the size of the swords or the sheer authority they radiated, it was on a whole different level—maybe that's the gap between a soul-state and a true physical body.
Luna walked over to Evan and said, "Withdraw your lightning. Inside my Immortal-Slaying Sword Array, not even a Heavenly Immortal could escape. Good thing that guy didn't run away, or I couldn't have drawn him fully into the array. To be honest, casting this array in my current state burned through more than half of my immortal essence—looks like it'll be a long time before I recover."
Evan watched as the nine swords embedded in the ground began to spin rapidly. In an instant, countless sword-qi filled the array, engulfing Draxon. He screamed in agony, trying to fly out, only to find the overhead sword radiating a ten-meter-long field of sword-qi—touch it, and he'd be instantly sliced to pieces.
Draxon tried to revert to his true dragon form, but found that inside this array, he couldn't change shape at all. The whole space was made of sword-qi—everywhere he turned, mortal danger was waiting. Touch a single strand, and he'd be instantly cut down.
"Why isn't Luna dead yet? Could it be that even the Immortal-Slaying Sword Array can't finish him off?" Evan asked nervously.
"Killing him is easy. Just watch!" Luna said. With a thought, the nine giant swords shrank to normal size and shot toward Draxon from nine directions, stabbing deep into his body. Finally, the sword overhead plunged straight down and pierced his skull.
Evan thought that was the end, but Luna gave a casual wave of her hand. The ten swords flashed, and Draxon's body vanished—leaving only a drifting mist of blood in the air.
"That's incredible—it's way stronger than my Star-Cleave. Why didn't you just finish him off right away?" Evan asked.
"He trapped you in the Dark Abyss Domain for so long and tortured you—I had to make him suffer too. Letting him die so easily just wouldn't sit right with me. The Immortal-Slaying Sword Array is a top-tier technique, but compared to your Ninefold Stellar Transformation and Seven-Sever Slash, it still falls short. The real problem is that your cultivation is way too low. In the Immortal Realm, anyone could kill you in an instant.
I hope you can raise your strength as quickly as possible. If you do reach the Immortal Realm, keep a low profile—otherwise, you'll be courting death at every turn," Luna said.
Evan glanced at Luna and said, "Now that you've regained your physical body, I know you'll be leaving me soon. I just can't get used to life without you—what am I supposed to do? Teach me."
"That day will come, sooner or later. You need to be strong and learn to face things on your own. You're the leader of a sect—saying things like that is way too childish!" Luna laughed.
Evan's face flushed hot—he really did rely on Luna too much. Still, he said, "Even if you leave me, I'll find you in the Immortal Realm, no matter what it takes. You're the only woman I've ever truly loved."
Luna was genuinely moved, nodding unconsciously. But Evan gently pulled her into his arms, lifted her chin, and kissed her deeply.
Luna instinctively tried to push Evan away, but he wouldn't let go. Soon, his kiss grew fiercer, and she trembled, slowly responding in kind.
After a few breaths, Luna finally pushed Evan away and said, "Lin Feng, there's still so much ahead of us. Since I'm your woman, I'll always be your woman. We've been in the Dragonblood Crucible for days now, and tonight is the Full-Moon Night—the Dragon Clan must be getting desperate. Let's hurry and get out of here."
