Evan Chu stood calmly atop Goldwing, quietly watching the three ancient Immortals from the Demonic Realm. "You three were once top experts of the ancient Immortal Realm, yet now you've willingly degraded yourselves into mere demon lackeys. How disgraceful—it's truly shameful beyond words."
"Brat, don't get so cocky. Today is the day you die, and the Firmament Light Mirror will be ours! Prepare to meet your end!" one of the ancient Immortals couldn't help but roar in anger.
With a flicker, his figure shot toward Evan Chu, attacking at high speed. Evan immediately had Goldwing return into his own body—against such powerful foes, Goldwing's strength wasn't enough to withstand their attacks.
The ancient Immortal wielded a red longsword—clearly a fire‑attribute Immortal artifact. Its powerful sword‑qi swept toward Evan Chu in an instant, making the surrounding space tremble with each strike.
This opponent was a late‑stage Immortal Emperor, even stronger than Nolan Nangong or Hector Vaughn. Facing three at once, the pressure on Evan Chu was unimaginable—only he could truly understand it.
Evan Chu gripped the Frostbane Divine Sword, unleashing a rapid Star‑Cleave. The two waves of sword‑qi collided with an explosive boom, shaking the space again as countless energy storms erupted in every direction.
The attacks flashed by in an instant, and both Evan Chu and his opponent were blasted back dozens of meters by the force. Evan was unharmed, but the ancient Immortal was secretly shaken—Evan's raw power was in no way inferior to his own.
A youth this young wielding such power was unheard of in the Immortal Realm. Though he wasn't injured, the ancient Immortal's blood was roiling—he stared at Evan Chu in utter shock and blurted:
"Kid, I didn't expect you to be this capable. Now there's even more reason to kill you today—if we let you grow for a few more years, no one in the Immortal Realm will be able to stop you." the ancient Immortal said.
"Want me dead? You're not qualified. Old man, why don't all three of you come at me together—fighting just one of you is boring. Let me see what kind of so‑called martial arts the Demonic Realm has given you. Don't bother pretending to be noble in front of me, or you won't even know how you died later." Evan Chu retorted.
"You're way too arrogant, kid—today I'll be the one to end your life!" another ancient Immortal declared.
As soon as he finished speaking, a black staff appeared in the elder's hand, gleaming with a sinister light—it was obviously no ordinary item.
Before Evan Chu could speak, he sensed that the opponent was unleashing a domain—an Earth Domain, to be precise. But now, domains were little more than decorations to him; with mastery over all nine elements, he no longer feared any domain at all.
With a thought, Evan immediately communicated with the elemental particles inside the domain. Within a few breaths, he realized the elder was using an Earth Domain and resonated with it, dissolving its pressure entirely.
The ancient Immortal still believed Evan Chu was trapped by his Earth Domain, wearing a look of disdain as he sneered, "Kid, inside my domain, no matter how strong you are, there's only one outcome—death! Prepare yourself!"
Suddenly, a pitch-black bead appeared in his hand, swirling with demonic qi—it was clearly no Immortal Realm treasure, but a demonic artifact from the Demonic Realm. Anything he favored had to be extraordinary.
Evan Chu felt it was time to deliver a heavy blow. The reason he dared face three at once was because he had a trump card—Light Transformation.
Using Light Transformation's invisibility could solve countless problems. Right now, being 'trapped' by the Earth Domain was the perfect opportunity—he'd already thought of the best solution.
He released the Earth Golden Body avatar, while his true body turned completely invisible. That way, he could kill without anyone noticing—a flawless assassination. As long as he could eliminate one, the rest would be manageable.
If necessary, he could always unleash Unicorn Arm and Divine Cleave together—no matter how strong the other two were, they'd be slain all the same.
Evan Chu immediately activated Light Transformation. Though it was his first true combat use, he managed to turn invisible with perfect precision. At the same time, his Earth Golden Body avatar appeared in midair—now that the pressure was gone, there was no danger at all for the avatar.
Evan Chu slowly approached the ancient Immortal, who was completely unaware—he was focused on preparing to attack Evan with the black bead.
If that black bead struck the Earth Golden Body, it could be a real threat—Evan wouldn't let that happen. As soon as the enemy used the bead, he'd withdraw the avatar and seize the moment to deliver a fatal blow.
Just as Evan predicted, he was now right in front of the ancient Immortal, who had no idea—Evan's control over elemental fluctuations was flawless. The ancient Immortal, for all his power, never suspected the 'Evan Chu' in the Earth Domain was only an avatar.
"Kid, let me show you the true power of my Soul-Seizing Pearl!" the ancient Immortal shouted, hurling the black bead. At that instant, Evan willed the Earth Golden Body to vanish, recalling it into himself.
At the same moment, the Frostbane Divine Sword appeared in Evan's hand. Channeling Chaos Immortal Force, he stabbed the ancient Immortal's heart at near-invisible speed, twisting the blade and shattering all the internal organs. The enemy screamed in agony as blood gushed from his chest.
Evan quickly withdrew the Frostbane Divine Sword and unleashed Star-Cleave. The ancient Immortal, gravely wounded, couldn't defend himself and was obliterated by the sword strike—his body and soul erased. Evan then revealed himself.
"You thought you could kill me? You're not even close. This is what happens when you attack me—today, you two will die as well!" Evan declared.
The remaining two ancient Immortals stared at Evan Chu in shock. One exclaimed, "Kid, you've mastered the Emerald Immortal Empress's light element? Impossible! Now, leaving you alive is absolutely out of the question."
Both instantly produced black beads—Soul-Seizing Pearls. Evan wondered why all three had them; anything valued by ancient Immortals was surely extraordinary, but he still didn't know their full power.
Just as Evan was pondering, the Emerald Immortal Empress's voice echoed in his mind: "Master, those beads are the Soul-Seizing Pearls—famous demonic artifacts from the Demonic Realm. They can absorb the souls of Immortals, and are extremely dangerous. You must be careful."
"Such a terrifying thing can't be allowed to exist. I have to destroy them—evil artifacts like this must never remain in the world," Evan resolved, circulating Chaos Immortal Force in preparation to unleash a devastating Divine Cleave...
