Chapter 1850: Breakthrough!
You're back?
Violet Thunder looked at Old Goldwing and Shadow, his voice trembling with excitement. Seeing these two again, Violet Thunder felt their cultivation and aura now completely surpassed his own!
No, it's not just a feeling—they really are above him now!
After Evan Chu helped Violet Thunder improve, his realm stopped at Half-Step Holy Emperor. On the surface, his power was about equal to an ordinary early-stage Holy Emperor, but he still couldn't condense a Holy Emperor Avatar. Even so, with Violet Thunder's techniques, he could face Holy Emperor-level opponents without fear.
But now, looking at Old Goldwing and Shadow, their aura was clearly at the early-stage peak Holy Emperor level. Whether or not they could condense a Holy Emperor Avatar, their power already surpassed his own.
You two are out—where's Senior Brother? Where is he?
Boss is right behind you!
Old Goldwing chuckled. During the breakthrough, he really went through ten thousand years of skin-shedding and bone-reforging—it was pure agony!
At first, Old Goldwing and Shadow nearly couldn't hold on, but at the last moment, when they tasted the benefits, they almost wished they could do it all over again!
Actually, Evan Chu didn't do much—he just fused a type of star suitable for beasts into their bodies, letting Old Goldwing and Shadow's power and cultivation soar.
Before that, though, it took a lot of time and effort to restructure their internal bodies. The benefit is, now Old Goldwing and Shadow have a cultivation foundation no different from ordinary people.
In other words, as long as resources are abundant, Old Goldwing and Shadow can also condense their own Holy Emperor Avatar!
Senior Brother, you're out!
Yeah, finally out of seclusion. Sigh, do I look much older to you?
Evan Chu looked troubled. Violet Thunder took a close look—maybe he really did seem older.
At first glance, nothing seemed different, but when Violet Thunder scanned him with his divine sense, he actually saw traces of age on Evan Chu's face.
Sigh! Even with Starshift Reversal, I've spent so much time in the Seven-Star Golden Tower that over ten thousand years have truly passed. That's real time, not just a number—so I'm not young anymore!
Uh, Senior Brother, you always act pitiful after getting lucky! I don't buy it at all. You're obviously trying to brag about your gains from seclusion, right?
Saying it so indirectly—what's the point? Sure, I'm slow, but I know you!
Violet Thunder had hit the nail on the head. Evan Chu's face turned bright red, totally embarrassed.
Ahem! What are you saying—am I that kind of person? Actually, what I meant was, Mansfield is such a bastard! Doesn't he know you're my junior? He gave you such a tough job and didn't even try to cozy up to the Hall Master!
Evan Chu's eyes flashed with another emotion. He looked deeply at the Frostbane Dynasty's base in the star-region, remembering the moment he first arrived here.
Violet Thunder, step back. I'll be the one to enter Frostbane Dynasty.
Evan Chu felt a mix of emotions. Who would've thought he'd enter this way? Life is unpredictable.
Senior Brother, can you do it? Violet Thunder blurted out, then immediately realized his mistake—if Senior Brother can't do it, nobody in this world can!
Drop the 'can you'—just watch me!
Evan Chu's aura surged, and his body seemed to grow taller by several inches. Strange power and unfamiliar energy spilled out—Violet Thunder instantly felt a powerful threat.
What kind of power is this? It's definitely not ordinary Stellar Power! My god, what did Senior Brother comprehend in seclusion this time? I can't even look him in the eye, and he doesn't have a shred of killing intent toward me!
Boom!
Evan Chu swung his arm in a reverse strike—a palm print attack, no, more accurately, a dragon claw attack. The Frostbane Dynasty's base star-region's defensive grand array was instantly torn open.
Old Goldwing, Shadow, let's go!
Whoosh! Evan Chu's true aura erupted. Violet Thunder finally saw it clearly—Evan, Old Goldwing, and Shadow were all genuine early-stage peak Holy Emperors!
Of course, Violet Thunder overlooked an even scarier existence—Lynton Chu, who had become the Chaos World Spirit. When Evan Chu advanced, Lynton wasn't idle, and when Evan comprehended Ninefold Profound-Meaning Power, Lynton gained a lot too.
Now, Lynton's surface cultivation was no different from a late-stage peak Holy Emperor! Of course, his actual combat power was still several levels below Evan Chu.
With so many techniques, you can't predict what this monster will do at early-stage peak Holy Emperor. His battle power could be terrifying.
Inside the Frostbane base, chaos erupted. A powerful aura swept through, far scarier than a Holy Emperor's descent. To most, it felt as shocking as when Lord Holden Hong himself appeared!
What's happening? What's going on outside? Are they attacking? Someone go out and see!
Henry Lin had been commanding the Frostbane base star-region for a year and a half. The Frostbane Dynasty's army, out fighting, hadn't contacted him at all. He had no idea how the war was going—just that it hadn't stopped and was still raging!
That's right, this war had raged for over a year. Battles between top experts can take ages to decide—sometimes thousands of years is normal. Now, with armies of over ten million clashing in a bloody war, how could it possibly end quickly?
Of course, the only thing that hasn't changed is that, just like at the very start, both sides have never stopped fighting. But now, everyone still standing and fighting is an elite among elites, a powerhouse among powerhouses!
Looking across the battlefield, even the weakest cultivators are at least mid-stage peak Saint Lord.
Report to the vice commander! Someone seems to have torn open the defensive grand array and broken in!
What? Impossible! The defensive grand array of our base can't be damaged by even late-stage peak Holy Emperors in a hundred moves. To tear it open so easily, you'd need power at the Sacred Emperor Realm or higher!
Hmph! Plenty have tried sneaking in before, but I let them in on purpose. Those guys were tough, though—even tortured to death, they never said a word. Well, let's see who broke in this time!
Henry Lin flipped his hand, and a strange, unique long blade appeared. His figure flashed to the highest point of the Frostbane base star-region, looking down to find the intruder.
