At this moment, Selena was feeling utterly exhausted and gradually slowed to a stop. She glanced at Evan Chu and asked, "Linfeng, how do you feel? Has your Chaos Dragon Force inside recovered a bit?"
"Mm, I've recovered about ten percent. Sel, you worked hard. In a moment, I'll channel the merged Pure Yang Qi and Demonic Yin Qi from my body into yours—make sure to refine it quickly. After circulating it through several cycles, you'll find that the benefits this time are enormous." Evan Chu opened his eyes and said.
Because Evan Chu had long since mastered the art of splitting his focus, he could circulate Demonic Yin Qi and Pure Yang Qi through his meridians while speaking with Selena at the same time.
Soon, Selena felt a surge of powerful energy coming from a certain place. She knew this was the energy gas Evan had mentioned, so she quickly began circulating it within her own body...
Once she had fully circulated and absorbed it, she felt as if her lost strength had been restored, and her Stellar Power had grown even stronger. At this point, Evan Chu had also regained his energy, naturally taking the initiative and switching to a more active role.
Excited cries echoed through the underground secret chamber of Frostbane Sect. At this moment, Selena truly experienced an indescribable, wondrous state. Only after Evan Chu infused energy gas into her three times did he finally inject all of his life seed into Selena's body.
He himself didn't understand why he felt this way this time. In the past, it would take several days and nights for this phenomenon to occur at all—maybe it was because his Chaos Dragon Force had been completely drained this time.
Selena gazed contentedly at the man she loved, then said, "Linfeng, you're amazing. Being your woman is truly happiness. How are you feeling now?"
Evan Chu knew she was concerned about him. He got up from her body, glanced sideways at her mysterious place where not a single blade of grass grew, and laughed, "I've recovered about half. Sel, but it looks like you're already swollen down there—it must hurt a lot!"
Seeing Evan Chu glance at her secret place, Selena's face instantly flushed red. She retorted, "Isn't it all your fault? That damned thing of yours is so big—at the start it really hurt!"
Evan Chu noticed faint traces of blood on the ground—he knew it was Selena's virgin blood. He said, "Get up, I'll help you bathe, then take you to a magical place. I believe you're about to break through to a new realm."
Selena glanced around, noticing there was nowhere to bathe. Just as she was about to ask, Evan Chu summoned countless water vapors into his hand, forming a giant sphere of water that fell over her body—the water was surprisingly hot.
By now, Evan Chu could manipulate water with complete ease, so this was simple for him. But to Selena, it felt miraculous. "Linfeng, is this the effect you gained after obtaining the Water Spirit Pearl?"
"That's right. If you wanted me to make it snow right now, I could do that too. Thinking back to when I first got the Water Spirit Pearl, it's unforgettable. If I entered the Weakwater River again now, I wouldn't be nearly so miserable." Evan Chu laughed.
During their conversation, they quickly washed away all the grime from their bodies. Then, each took out a clean set of clothes from their storage rings and dressed. Evan Chu felt as if he'd become human again—being trapped in the dragon body was truly uncomfortable.
The passage to the Stellar Cultivation Chamber had already closed again. Evan Chu took out the Starflare Stone and quickly reopened the entrance at the spot where he'd broken the barrier before.
When Evan Chu used a supreme-grade Starstone to open the door to the Stellar Cultivation Chamber, Selena was once again stunned into silence. It was her first time encountering such dense Stellar Power—she could hardly believe it was real.
"Sel, let's go in. The chamber door is on a timer—otherwise we'll waste another supreme-grade Starstone." Evan Chu said, then took Selena's hand and led her inside.
They exchanged a glance and said nothing more—anyone who ignored such dense Stellar Power would be a fool. Evan Chu had now fully broken through to the Ninth Layer of the Divine Martial Realm, reaching the late-stage peak. Without a Netherghost Violet Orchid, he couldn't advance to the Saint Martial Realm, but he knew impatience wouldn't help; he'd have to personally travel to the Netherworld.
To reach the Netherworld, he would need to find the inheritors of the White Tiger and Black Tortoise bloodlines. As for Roxanne Lin, who carried the Vermilion Bird bloodline, he wasn't sure of her situation now—maybe after settling things in the Azure Tide Ruins, it would be time to visit her.
Right now, Evan Chu was fully capable of confronting a Fifth-Layer Saint Martial expert, and even heading to the Vermilion Bird Temple, he’d be able to protect himself. Plus, with his Five Transformations, escaping from danger would be easy.
Steadying his mind, Evan Chu cast aside stray thoughts and began absorbing Stellar Power. He soon discovered that the yellow Dragon Pearl in his dantian could now take in far more Chaos Dragon Force than ever before—completely incomparable to the past.
Selena had already broken through her bottleneck. She stopped absorbing and simply watched Evan Chu, feeling deeply gratified.
Evan Chu absorbed energy for two days, but the Chaos Dragon Force inside the Dragon Pearl still wasn’t full—it was like a bottomless pit, no matter how much he poured in.
Day after day passed, and only after seven days did the Chaos Dragon Force inside Evan Chu’s Dragon Pearl finally reach full capacity. When he circulated it, the energy surged like a raging river, instantly flooding the space within his meridians.
Such immense Chaos Dragon Force was something Evan Chu had never imagined before. If he unleashed Earthsplitter now, he was sure he could use it ten times without exhausting his power—maybe he could even train in Heavensplitter at this point.
Still, he knew that everything needed to progress step by step—rushing things would only backfire. The Demon Lord had said Saint Martial Realm was required to master Heavensplitter, and Evan Chu understood there must be a reason. But at his current realm, learning it would be much easier than before.
Opening his eyes, Evan Chu stood up and saw Selena gazing quietly at him. He smiled, "Sel, did you break through? What layer of Divine Martial Realm are you at now?"
"I've reached the Eighth Layer of Divine Martial Realm. I broke through one layer while secluded in the Western Beast King Hall, another here in the chamber, and one more during our time together. Now I'm a real expert—hopefully I can help you more." Selena said.
"Sel, I understand your feelings. Haven't you helped me enough? If it weren't for you, I might still be sleeping on the cold chamber floor. Meeting you was my good fortune. I promised to treat you well, and I won’t break my word. We've spent long enough in this chamber—Heaven Ape and the others must be worried. Let's head out. If we need another breakthrough, we’ll come back here." Evan Chu said... (To be continued at dawn)
