Evan Chu's thunder-laden strike made Lance Li's face change dramatically. Lance had already rated Evan extremely highly, but the moment they exchanged blows, he was immediately pushed into a disadvantage!
Evan Chu had mastered the Asura Tyrant Saber Art to perfection—this was already a battle art at the Emperor-Sealing level. Once he unleashed his source power, the result was nothing short of terrifying.
And now, Evan Chu was only at mid Saint Lord Realm, yet he was forcibly suppressing Lance Li, whose own battle art had reached the peak Emperor-Ascending tier!
Lance Li was struggling; he couldn’t imagine how Evan Chu could erupt with power comparable to late Saint Venerable Realm. In truth, Evan wasn’t fully exploding—rather than unleashing his power, he was venting it.
Evan Chu had absorbed too many stars, Starstones, Star Crystals, and refined Star Souls. These powers couldn’t be absorbed all at once. No matter how strong Evan’s talent and foundation, once reaching saturation, he needed to vent that power in battle.
That’s why, after breaking through to mid Saint Lord, Evan Chu was desperate for a real fight.
That’s also why he dared to use late Saint Venerable experts as his sharpening stones!
"Prison-Sky Space Domain!"
With no other choice, Lance Li could only release his Space Domain to ease the pressure. But Evan Chu just laughed heartily,
"You shouldn't have released your Space Domain—now your defeat will only come faster! Maybe you can imprison the sky, but you can't imprison me!"
Boom!
Evan Chu's Chaos World Domain erupted outward. By now, his Chaos World Domain had grown to a terrifying degree—just looking at the new lives being nurtured inside it made clear that it was dozens of times stronger than when he first stepped out of the trial world!
Geocore Soul Mother, Sea-Eye Spirit Spring, Elemental Spirit Pearl, Chaos Force—these beings never stopped growing, constantly expanding the world-space.
The moment the Chaos World Space Domain appeared, Lance Li's pressure doubled again—he was almost completely powerless to fight back.
Although his realm was strong, his power was nearly equal to Evan Chu's. But now, with his Space Domain suppressed, Lance Li was reduced to a mere sparring dummy—he could only take hits passively and wait for the fight to end.
"I won't lose so easily!"
Lance Li growled in a low voice, slashing out several sword beams with his longsword—this was his last trump card.
He had fused two wind-attribute stars. In ordinary battles, he always won with speed, believing firmly that 'no technique can beat speed—if you're not strong enough, it's because you're not fast enough!'
But now, Evan Chu, who had mastered nine elemental laws, perfectly restrained any single attribute.
Seeing Lance Li unleash his strongest battle art, Evan Chu shouted, "Good! Bring it on!"
In an instant, the nine elemental law avatars split off; Evan Chu's true body retreated rapidly, and then ten Evan Chus appeared, each summoning a meteor to weave a giant stellar net.
"You can't imprison me, but I can imprison you!"
The giant net enveloped Lance Li. His wind-element stars stabilized amid the illusions, but his Windstride Sword Technique was completely restrained—he couldn't move at all.
Lance Li stared at Evan Chu in horror—what kind of technique was this? How could his avatars possess such terrifying strength?
"My dear Commander Li, you've lost."
Evan Chu smiled at Lance Li. Lance was speechless for a long time—he had expected he might lose, but the speed of his defeat far exceeded his expectations!
The arena was silent for a long time. The result was beyond anyone's expectations—even the four Temple Masters hadn't anticipated it. Evan Chu... had grown to such a terrifying level? And in such a short time?
"Come on, who else? Fight me."
Evan Chu dissolved the stellar net, releasing Lance Li, who turned and left, lost in thought.
Evan Chu looked infinitely arrogant and unrestrained, standing with hands behind his back above the nine heavens. He gazed provocatively at a black-robed man beside the four Temple Masters.
The next opponent was even stronger—a peak late Saint Venerable, already touching the threshold of Holy Emperor Realm!
Second bout: Evan Chu defends the platform, Quentin Quan attacks!
The black-robed man was Quentin Quan. With a leap, he landed opposite Evan Chu.
"You're very strong—so strong it's hard to believe."
"You don't need to remind me—I know better than you. If you want to seize the throne from me, show your skill. Fight!"
Evan Chu swung his Dragon Saber, and a thunderous dragon roar echoed out.
"You're attacking directly?" Quentin Quan was surprised.
"What, should I invite you for tea first?" Evan Chu replied, puzzled. "It's a fight—why waste time?"
"I mean, aren't you going to make a bet or promise with me, too?" Quentin Quan didn't understand—his realm was higher than Lance Li's, so why wouldn't Evan Chu do the same?
Evan Chu understood, then shook his head. "Sorry, I, Evan Chu, keep my word. You can bet with me, but as for promises… you're not qualified."
"What?! You dare look down on me!"
Quentin Quan had admired Evan Chu a little, but now he was furious! Yes, you're powerful and gifted, but you can't just look down on me like that—who do you think you are?
"No, you're overthinking it. I'm not looking down on you—I'm just facing reality. But you, on the other hand, haven't accepted reality. As far as I know, this is your second challenge, right? Last time, you lost to the Jun Yang Throne, didn't you?"
So, even though you're powerful, you don't dare to truly fight, or rather, you don't dare to throw everything away and gamble it all. With such mentality and talent, you're trash. At best, you'll reach early Holy Emperor and that's your limit—you'll never improve further.
"So, what use do I have for you?"
Evan Chu looked deadly serious, but his words were full of contempt—anyone could hear it. As for Quentin Quan, Evan Chu didn't care at all! Too weak!
"You don't know your place! Yes, I failed once, but there won't be a second time. Today, I'll show you what a true powerhouse is! You think you're so great just because you're a mid Saint Lord?"
Quentin Quan was about to explode—he'd never suffered such humiliation before!
Seeing this, Evan Chu shook his head again. He hadn't misjudged—Quentin Quan's talent and mentality were too poor, so no matter how good his opportunities, his future prospects were limited.
You could even say, someone like him is destined to be a stepping stone—for Jun Yang, and for Evan Chu.
You can't even compare to Lance Li. Fight me—let's end this quickly. I don't want to waste time on you.
Evan Chu finally enraged Quentin Quan. The latter instantly summoned a massive Heaven-Overturning Seal, which descended over Evan Chu's head.
"Heaven-Overturning Seal!"
