The might of Divine Cleave far surpassed the attacks of Fairy Lynn and the Emerald Immortal Empress. The moment it erupted in midair, violent tremors shook the sky as if the end of the world had arrived, making everyone shudder with dread.
The golden skeleton never expected the newcomer to possess such overwhelming attack power. Flustered, he swung his bone sword to block the strike, but panic could never match Evan Chu's skill. The blow sent him flying dozens of meters before crashing down from the sky.
Regrettably, Evan Chu's strike failed to kill the golden skeleton, showing just how formidable the creature was. "Lynn, are you all right?" Evan asked as he approached Fairy Lynn.
"We're fine. I didn't expect that guy's attack power to be so terrifying—it really caught us off guard. What about the Soul Mushroom? Did you get it?" Lynn asked.
"I got it. Once we deal with these two troublesome guys, we'll return to the Immortal Realm. But get ready—this is going to be a tough fight. You two need to protect yourselves." Evan said.
"Such powerful attacks—just who are you, kid?" The golden skeleton flew up from the ground and demanded.
Evan noticed that the creature's body bore not a single scratch, not even a crack in its bones. This was Divine Cleave's power, yet this skeleton monster's defense was even more terrifying than his own.
"I am the Yin-Yang Demon Emperor! If you submit to me, perhaps I’ll spare you. Otherwise, today I’ll erase you body and soul, wiping you from the Demonic Realm forever." Evan Chu said.
"Hahaha! Such arrogance! You dare spout such nonsense in front of us? None of you three are leaving today. Hand over the Soul Mushroom, or you’ll die painfully. Otherwise, you’ll see just how powerful we are." Skeleton King shouted as he flew up from the buried rocks.
"Skeleton King, you’re still alive? I thought you’d been buried underground for good. Looks like you’ve got some luck. Now that I’ve obtained the Soul Mushroom, what right do you have to bargain with me? If you want to kill me, let’s see if you have the strength." Evan Chu laughed.
Come on, let me show you my true power today. You really think I’m no match without the Soul Mushroom? Once I kill you, your two women will naturally be mine. I’ll be sure to show them my might." Skeleton King roared.
Do you even have the goods to do that? From top to bottom you’re just bones—yet you dare talk like that? You’re killing me!" Evan Chu laughed.
Jade and Lynn blushed. How could he say something so crude? They couldn’t believe he’d actually say that out loud.
Skeleton King was completely enraged by Evan Chu’s words. "Whether I have it or not, you’ll never find out. You won’t get the chance—go die!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the bone sword in his hand unleashed a powerful sword-qi attack at Evan Chu. This strike was even mightier than those in the Abyss of Ten Thousand Demons. The space trembled violently, and from the force of that blow, Evan could tell Skeleton King’s strength had reached the demigod realm—or perhaps even stronger.
But because he’s a remnant soul, even with this skeleton body, he can’t ascend to the Demonic Realm. You really can’t underestimate him—I’ll have to go all out in this fight.
“Good!” Evan Chu shouted, and his Frostbane Divine Sword unleashed Divine Cleave once more. But to truly wound or kill the enemy, Divine Cleave alone might not be enough. Skeleton King’s defense was beyond monstrous—as the golden skeleton’s body showed.
Evan Chu’s strike ended in a draw with Skeleton King. Both were blasted dozens of meters by the force of each other’s attacks before regaining their footing. Evan’s arm tingled, and he had several wounds, but none were deep—they healed after just a few breaths.
Such tremendous power! I never expected Skeleton King, with just a skeleton body, to possess such attack strength. This is a real surprise—I’ll have to finish this fight quickly.' Evan Chu thought.
Lynn, Jade, you two fall back for now. The next attacks will be even fiercer, and I don’t want you getting hurt by accident!' Evan Chu sent a secret voice transmission to them, perfectly multitasking—something most people could never do.
The two women looked at Evan Chu in confusion, not sure what he intended, but they trusted his judgment. After exchanging glances, they nodded and instantly teleported away.
“Leaving so easily? Not a chance!” The golden skeleton saw Lynn and Jade escaping and immediately gave chase, moving so fast that Evan Chu began to worry for their safety.
Evan Chu’s Chaos Immortal Force surged within him. “Skeleton King, let me show you my true power! Hope you can withstand it!”
Combining his Unicorn Arm with Divine Cleave, Evan Chu unleashed a devastating attack. Skeleton King was startled, his entire body shaking violently as purple bones flared with violet light.
Immediately, Skeleton King’s body began to swell. Once just a skeleton, he now sprouted muscle—though all of it was rotten, and the stench was overwhelming even from afar.
Within a few breaths, Skeleton King transformed into a gigantic monster dozens of meters tall. Long bone spines jutted from his back, and his head grew into a terrifying beast’s skull—enough to make anyone shiver.
All this happened as Evan Chu unleashed Divine Cleave. Skeleton King’s bone sword also grew enormous. With a furious roar, he swung the massive blade, sending a powerful sword-qi blast at Evan Chu.
Evan Chu could clearly feel the overwhelming power of this attack—it was no weaker than the blows of the Music Demon Emperor. The space shook violently, as if on the verge of tearing apart. Countless energy storms erupted as their forces collided.
Familiar scenes played out on the ground—earth splitting, magma erupting, mountains suddenly rising. Everything within thousands of li was destroyed, leaving devastation everywhere.
Both Evan Chu and Skeleton King were struck by each other’s attacks. Evan Chu was blasted over a hundred meters before stabilizing himself. He had three deep wounds, golden blood flowing, but they were healing rapidly.
These injuries weren’t serious for Evan Chu, but the fact that Divine Cleave couldn’t finish off Skeleton King left him frustrated. Thinking of this, he glanced inward at the Blood Bead in his dantian…
