At this moment, the Elemental Spirit, having regained its strength, suddenly spoke up.
"Wait! I have another way to help her recover! The dark element energy inside her is incredibly powerful and pure. That's good stuff—if you don't want it, can you give it to me?"
"What did you say? You can devour and absorb the dark element inside her?"
"Of course! Not just me—the Chaos Spirit, the Geocore Soul Mother, even you can do it! I swear, your brain must've short-circuited from anger. Whatever, just calm down and think it through. Once you do, you'll figure it all out."
The Elemental Spirit’s words snapped Evan Chu out of his daze; he really had been blinded by rage just now.
Strictly speaking, the dark element inside Lynn Chu and Princess Dream wasn’t something they cultivated themselves—it was forcibly injected, corrupting their minds. That meant Evan could use Light Laws to shield their bodies, powerful Wood Laws to repair their minds, and at the same time draw all that dark element energy into himself!
Letting that dark element flow into his own body wouldn’t harm his flesh or mind at all—in fact, it would help him grow stronger, especially by further cultivating his Darkshift!
You had to know, that pure dark element energy all came from the Spirit Lord, the God-Realm Traitor. His dark element was drawn from the Dark Origin Spirit, an existence equal to the Light Origin Spirit—both able to create the Geocore Soul-Source Realm!
"This massive dark element energy... If I purify and cleanse Lynn’s mind, then absorb all of it, I might break straight into ninth-layer Darkshift! And with my Primordial Nine-Clawed Golden Dragon bloodline, refining this damned Demon Dragon qi will be a breeze."
After figuring all this out, Evan immediately got to work. Ten days later, dark element energy surged around him—he had finally mastered the Darkness Law! His Darkshift had reached ninth-layer great perfection.
In this way, he simultaneously comprehended the Laws of Light, Darkness, Wind, and Thunder—four mighty elemental powers. If he could master the remaining five... Even Evan himself had no idea how powerful he’d become.
When he opened his eyes again, Lynn Chu had fully recovered and was sitting right beside him, looking at him in confusion.
"Father, what on earth happened? I should’ve just ascended to the God Realm—so why am I here?"
Evan saw that Lynn had no idea what she’d been through. He sighed deeply. "You didn’t ascend to the God Realm at all—you landed in the Demonic Realm! Earlier, you were invaded by demonic qi and your mind was corrupted by dark element. If I hadn’t run into you by sheer luck, you’d have become cannon fodder for Demon Emperor Wotan’s invasion of the God Realm."
Then Evan explained everything he knew and some of his guesses to Lynn. Even Elena couldn’t help but gasp—no one had expected such earth-shaking events in the Demonic Realm!
"But Father, this is unbelievable! How do I suddenly have late Demon Sovereign peak cultivation? This pure demonic qi is fully under my control—can I still cultivate in the God Realm now?"
"It’s my fault! I let you suffer! Even though you’ve undergone some changes, you can rest assured—I’ve already cleansed your mind, and the dark element can never harm you again. As for your bloodline, my golden dragon true body is fully restored, and when I was helping you recover, I found that your demonic qi could actually be assimilated.
So with my guidance, all that demonic qi became your own power. Plus, I injected my own essence blood into you—now, when you transform, you’re a Nine-Clawed Golden Dragon too! But to reach Primordial Dragon level, you’ll have to wait until my golden body perishes.
In the Dragon Clan, there can only ever be one nine-clawed golden Primordial Dragon King. Only when the previous one dies can the next evolve.
Lynn finally understood everything, her heart shaken to the core.
"Does that mean I now have the strongest bloodline and power among all my siblings?"
"Haha, maybe. I heard your other brothers have ascended too. If I’m not wrong, that kid Chu Cheng’s talent is probably even stronger than yours."
After saying this, Evan didn’t say much more. His mind was completely focused on revenge—someone dared to harm his daughter, and that was unforgivable! If he hadn’t shown up by chance, Lynn would’ve been dead by now!
Fake Princess Serena only deceived him, and Evan could barely tolerate that. But Demon Emperor Wotan—he’d already been sentenced to death in Evan’s heart. Puppet of the God-Realm Traitor or not, he had to die!
The Frostbane Divine Sword surged with killing intent as Evan made up his mind to kill.
"Wait! Father, let me go with you! I’m confident in my strength now! I might not match true Demon Emperors, but I can handle most Demon Sovereign-level foes!"
Lynn clenched her fists, burning with anger. Seeing her resolve, Evan weighed things for a moment and agreed.
"Alright, but you absolutely must be careful. Your job isn’t to kill enemies—it’s to protect yourself first. I won’t let you get hurt again. If you’re injured, I couldn’t face your mother or my other wives, and I wouldn’t forgive myself either.
Old Goldwing!"
"Boss, I’m here!"
"Take care of Lynn. I trust your speed isn’t just number one in the God Realm anymore, is it?"
"Heh! Of course. Ever since I hit late God-Venerable peak, even your Thunder Laws can’t catch me anymore!
I can say with confidence now—my instant burst speed is the fastest in all three realms!"
(Irrelevant webnovel reading prompt skipped)
Old Goldwing wasn’t exaggerating one bit. Speed was always his specialty, and now, with his realm rising and his bloodline purer and stronger, he’d become the mightiest Roc in history at late God-Venerable peak!
If he could break through to God-Emperor, Old Goldwing would be the first Roc God-Emperor ever! That would mean not only a massive boost in cultivation, but also absolute bloodline authority—he could command all Roc clans, and every Roc would follow him unconditionally!
"Good, very good! Then I’ll entrust Lynn to you. Work hard—I can’t wait to see you after you reach God-Emperor!"
"Uh... Well, actually, I’ve been stuck at this bottleneck for a long time, always in the Timewheel Bracelet, trying to comprehend it. But Shadow, that guy’s already reached God-Emperor! Ever since the Geocore Soul Mother empowered the chaos aura, it’s helped him more than I can describe."
Old Goldwing sounded a little sour as he spoke. Only now did Evan notice: that Bloodshadow Berserker Lion had evolved into a chaos beast, its cultivation skyrocketing. Now Shadow stood at God-Emperor level—third strongest among all divine beasts!
Number one was Evan’s Primordial Nine-Clawed Golden Dragon body; number two, Phoenix King Roxanne Lin; and number three, Shadow. Right now, Shadow’s cultivation and combat power far surpassed Old Goldwing’s—except in speed, where Old Goldwing still reigned. In a head-on fight, he’d get crushed.
"Hahaha! Excellent! Shadow, you’re coming with me too. We’ll storm the Demonic Imperial Capital and leave nothing but ruins! I’ll make sure every ruler in the Demonic Realm knows what happens when they cross me—and what Evan Chu’s methods really mean!
And I’ll make damn sure Wotan understands the power of the Frostbane Divine Sword that can sever a Demon Emperor!
Whoosh! Old Goldwing’s golden streak shot out, carrying Evan, Elena, Lynn, and Shadow straight for the Demonic Imperial Capital.
