"What a terrifying physical foundation, what a monstrous physique! You can still stand here with half your body left—I'm honestly jealous. I thought my attack would blow you apart on the spot!"
The Spirit Lord’s face was full of shock, and also bitter regret. He regretted that such a body wasn’t his own—if he had possessed this kind of physique, he could have absorbed all the Crimson Demon Star’s power ten thousand years ago, and wouldn’t have needed to scheme for a hundred thousand years, or have to deal with both Evan Chu and Supreme Titus as wildcards!
"Ugh..."
A spasm ran through his throat, and Evan Chu finally spat out a mouthful of golden blood. His face was deathly pale—he was indescribably weak right now.
"You... why..." He stared at the Spirit Lord, full of disbelief. He had just unleashed an attack so powerful that even he himself should have been left crippled and dying, but the Spirit Lord...
"You find it strange, don’t you? But it’s not strange at all. I’ve already told you—inside this Space Domain, I am the master! No matter what kind of power you unleash, you can’t hurt me. All you do is drain my strength, and unless you run me dry, you’ll never beat me.
Let me be straight with you: the powers of the Three Realms aren’t enough for me to fully perfect this illusion-array Space Domain. Otherwise, with you trapped here, I could wipe you out with a single thought. The only reason I’m even fighting you is because the domain isn’t completely formed yet.
But it doesn’t matter. Destroying you is well within my power."
"How is this possible? How can something like this exist in the Three Realms..."
Evan Chu couldn’t comprehend it. He’d never even heard of such a method—it was beyond imagination!
"Heh, of course. Given the powers and history of the Three Realms, a method like this shouldn’t exist. But like I told you before: I am not a person of this world!
Of course, if you ever break free from the limits of the Three Realms, you’ll gain powers like this too. In fact, with your talent and foundation, you could create a Space Domain even stronger than mine.
But I’m sorry to say, you’ll never get that chance—not in this life, not in any life. I will never let you have it!
So get ready to fall for good!"
The Spirit Lord’s finger flicked again—the same move as before, the same hidden blood-type array disk. But Evan Chu had no way to counter it.
Suddenly, a flash of inspiration struck his mind!
If my own power can’t deal with you—what about someone else’s power?!
Stellar Power! The power of the Big Dipper! That’s it—the power borrowed from the Big Dipper isn’t really mine, it’s something I’ve drawn from outside!
If my own strength can’t hurt the Spirit Lord inside his Space Domain, then maybe the Stellar Power of the Big Dipper can!
With this thought, Evan Chu risked total destruction of his flesh and activated his final trump card—Stellar Power! All five Star Marks lit up at once—boom, boom, boom!
Five beams of light pierced through the illusion-array Space Domain, resonating with the distant Big Dipper in the starry sky. Torrents of Stellar Power came flooding in from beyond!
"What? This power... Hmph! I knew it—after your reincarnation, you really are my strongest nemesis! Yes, Stellar Power can hurt me. But do you know why I imprisoned the Ninefold Divine Sovereign?
Hahaha! Ninefold Stellar Transformation—just a half-baked, incomplete technique! If you had the perfect power of all seven stars, I might actually be afraid. But with only five-star Stellar Power...
You can hurt me, but to destroy me? Keep dreaming! Clash, then—Blood-Domain Reincarnation!"
So the move the Spirit Lord kept using was called Blood-Domain Reincarnation. Evan Chu heard what Lingyu said and understood—the Spirit Lord didn’t just steal the Dark Origin Spirit to create powerful flesh puppets. The deeper reason was to imprison the Ninefold Divine Sovereign and learn the weaknesses of Ninefold Stellar Transformation!
Not enough power...? Then let’s see how far I can push it!
The convergence of five-star Stellar Power was already terrifying—far beyond anything Evan Chu had ever unleashed before. This time, when it collided head-on with Blood-Domain Reincarnation, Evan didn’t collapse instantly like before.
"Is that all you’ve got? It’s nowhere near enough! Once I fully merge with the Crimson Demon Star, you’ll be nothing but an ant gasping at my feet!
No, you won’t even have the chance to be an ant. Right now, you’ll experience the agony of being destroyed bit by bit!
Boom, boom, boom! The final explosion—an energy storm erupted, and the Stellar Power was reduced to scattered stardust. Evan Chu was defeated!
As expected, the power of five-star Stellar Power was nowhere near enough to contend with the Spirit Lord. Just as he said—in his Space Domain, he was the true master!
He watched as the Blood-Domain Reincarnation expanded and slammed into his half-ruined body. In that instant, Evan Chu was consumed by despair... He had lost to the Spirit Lord!
"I... refuse to accept this!"
Bang! A rain of golden blood splattered—the fleshly body of Evan Chu was utterly destroyed, leaving only a phantom spirit infant fleeing the scene.
Reincarnation Bracelet—that’s right! There’s still the Reincarnation Bracelet! I haven’t lost yet! If I can return to the bracelet, I can rebuild my flesh, master the Earth and Metal elements, and when the Nine Elemental Laws unite, I’ll be able to create my own Chaos Space Domain!
Then, I’ll be able to fight the Spirit Lord!
But before Evan Chu could act, the Spirit Lord sensed his intent.
"A hundred thousand years! I spent almost all that time figuring out how to deal with you, the unpredictable variable! Did you think I’d be stupid enough to leave you a last chance? Since I’ve already destroyed your other two divine artifacts, this last one will vanish too!"
The Spirit Lord grasped the void, cutting off Evan Chu’s final hope. Before Evan could send his soul into the Reincarnation Space, he watched as the Reincarnation Bracelet—the legendary artifact said to be unbreakable in the Three Realms—shattered to dust under the Spirit Lord’s attack!
"The bracelet is broken, and the space inside should be destroyed too. Evan Chu, you have no chance. You’ll never defeat me!"
The Spirit Lord burst into crazed laughter. In his eyes, his hundred-thousand-year plan was already half complete with Evan Chu’s destruction! Even if Shitian remained, he was no longer a threat. Evan Chu, who could borrow the power of the Big Dipper, was his true nemesis!
Now, there was nothing left to worry about. Evan Chu had completely fallen—his spirit infant and flesh destroyed. The Spirit Lord could absorb the power of the Crimson Demon Star without restraint. Even the Demon Emperor Shitian would be dust with a flick of his finger.
But things didn’t go as the Spirit Lord expected. Though the Reincarnation Bracelet shattered, a strange space seemed to form, gradually merging with Evan Chu’s spirit infant phantom!
"What?!" The Spirit Lord was shocked, unable to believe his eyes.
