"Very good, you're clever. But you and your wife may live—Lost Gods Valley cannot survive."
I... understand." For Oriental Wenshan, saying these words was more painful than dying.
It was all for the woman he loved deeply—and the reason he always spoiled his wastrel son was also because of her.
Now, Lost Gods Valley is destroyed, all disciples are dead, and his son was cleaved to death by Evan Chu in the main hall.
At this moment, he had lost everything—so he could not bear to lose the woman he loved. For her sake, this was the only way.
Evan Chu could tell Oriental Wenshan wasn't afraid to die—he was just a hopeless romantic. If his wife weren't Nisha's younger sister, and if his useless son hadn't said those shameless things to Lena Zhong, both Lost Gods Valley and Oriental Wenshan would have been wiped out without mercy.
You should thank your wife. Treat her well. If not for her, you wouldn't even have the chance to kneel before me.
"Yes, Master."
Alright, take me to the secret realm. As Valley Master, you should be familiar with it—at least much more than outsiders.
Evan Chu extended his hand, pouring vast, pure wood-element energy into Oriental Wenshan's body, and also gave him some healing elixirs to take.
The effect was obvious—though his strength was still far from fully restored, his external wounds were basically healed. Only internal injuries remained to be slowly nursed.
Just a few dozen breaths ago, he was still on the verge of being beaten to death!
"Thank you, Master. I'll lead the way right now."
Just as Evan Chu had guessed, Oriental Wenshan not only knew the location of the secret realm, but had already set up a barrier here to seal the entrance and turn it into a forbidden zone.
"This secret realm is extremely strange. I've tried many times to enter, but the dangers inside are more than I can handle. Even without going deep, just the outer edges have already benefited me a lot."
"Oh? What did you find?"
Stellar Power, and... elemental crystals.
Hearing this, Evan Chu was overjoyed! He'd already seen the powerful Stellar Power unleashed during Wenshan Easton's battle, and now realized that his achievements were all thanks to the secrets of this secret realm!
Clearly, this secret realm was full of unimaginable dangers—but also unimaginable benefits.
I don't know exactly what kind of Parasite-Killer Divine Lotus Master needs, but I'm sure that among the rare flowers and herbs inside, there must be something that will help you.
"Mm, got it."
Evan Chu stared at the pale blue light-screen in front of him, already preparing to enter.
Moments later, the last hint of blue glow faded from the screen, turning completely transparent—the barrier was fully broken.
"I'm going in alone now. You and your wife can stay here to heal and wait for me to come out. If you're worried Skycloud Palace might send people to take revenge, you can go straight to Stormtower and wait for me there.
Take my Divine Sense Jade Pendant—they'll let you in."
"Be careful, Master."
Wenshan Easton didn't waste words. With countless Skycloud Palace experts fallen in Lost Gods Valley, this place was already a deadly zone—staying here any longer would be extremely dangerous.
The three parted ways here—Evan Chu flashed into the secret realm, while Wenshan Easton resealed the entrance, covering all traces so thoroughly that even if Skycloud Palace sent experts to search, they wouldn't find a single clue.
The moment Evan Chu entered the secret realm, he sensed a surge of vast, pure Stellar Power. Looking closely, he saw that the realm's outer edge was piled high with meteorites.
"There are so many meteorites here—and the one Ling'er and I chased last time also landed near Lost Gods Valley."
Could there be something unusual here that attracts meteorites?"
If not for the urgency, Evan Chu would really want to stay here and cultivate—the arrangement of meteorites here seemed to form a strange array, and the Stellar Power they released could mutually reinforce each other.
"If you keep a steady pace, the Stellar Power here will never run dry! No wonder Wenshan Easton would rather die than reveal the secret realm's location—this is his true cultivation ground."
With a wave of his hand, Evan Chu broke up the array of meteorite fragments and stored them all in his Timewheel Bracelet.
He couldn't stay to cultivate, but he couldn't waste all this vast Stellar Power either—he'd absorb it all when he had the chance later.
Staying alert, Evan Chu continued flying forward. After half an hour, he still hadn't found anything.
Except for the increasingly dense Five Elements aura in the air, there wasn't a single living thing—and the ground was utterly barren, with no sign of the Extermination Divine Flower.
"Could Wenshan Easton be lying to me? No—even if he is, Blue-Shade wouldn't deceive me!"
Steadying his mind, he continued flying forward. Finally, after going who knows how far, a terrifyingly intense heat suddenly swept over him.
And right after that, a wave of icy cold slammed into Evan Chu's body. He thought he'd find something, but instead another blast of fierce wind howled past...
Crash! A huge mass of blue-glowing ice crystals swept in with the gale. But the spectacle didn't end there—a wave of blazing fire surged with the wind, surrounding the ice crystals.
"Water-element crystals! Fire-element crystals! And over there... a dense wind-spirit element..."
Seeing all this, Evan Chu was overjoyed and rushed deeper in. But in his excitement, he forgot Blue-Shade and Wenshan Easton's warning—the secret realm was extremely dangerous!
Normally, nobody returns alive from here—not even Wenshan Easton, at late-stage peak God-Venerable Realm, dared to go deep.
So, just as Evan Chu entered the heart of the secret realm, a horde of Fire Unicorns with blazing fire atop their heads and white-furred Ice Lions with ice crystals on their paws surged toward him.
"Damn! So it's two kinds of spirit beasts battling here!"
At a glance, Evan Chu felt a chill down his spine—his hair stood on end. These young beasts, not even fully grown, already had God-Venerable-level cultivation!
And the larger ones among them had terrifying power at late-stage and even peak God-Venerable Realm!
A few or a dozen wouldn't be scary—but now, just a glance showed there were over a hundred Fire Unicorns, and just as many Ice Lions.
What shocked Evan Chu even more was that, upon noticing this outsider, both sides stopped fighting and stared at him with murderous intent.
Evan Chu flew at top speed, adjusting his position to the highest point in the secret realm, almost touching its edge.
But just when he thought he might be safe, a chorus of long cries rang out nearby.
Shriek!
Over a hundred Wind-Spirit Sparrows shot toward Evan Chu at nearly invisible speed. At the same time, the Fire Unicorns and Ice Lions roared madly at him.
Streams of elemental energy gathered into attacks, forming a terrifying storm—all aimed straight at Evan Chu...
"Son of a—!" Evan Chu barely had time to react before he was completely swallowed up!
