"Boom!" A thunderous explosion erupted in the sky!
The Golden Skeleton's bone spurs collided with Evan Chu's Divine Cleave sword-qi and instantly exploded, unleashing a torrent of powerful gold-element energy that swept outward. For a moment, the mountains shook, the earth trembled, and the sun and moon lost their light.
This time, the Golden Skeleton, just like before, was not pushed back at all. But Evan Chu was like a lone boat in a vast ocean, struck by a monstrous wave and sent flying out of sight—his body hurtled thousands of meters before crashing to the ground.
Evan Chu's first thought was that he'd gone too far this time—he saw that one of his arms had vanished, half the muscles on his body were gone, and his internal organs were shattered beyond recognition. He looked every bit like a dead man.
The protective barrier he'd set up around himself had long since been smashed by the overwhelming energy. Right now, he truly couldn't move even if he wanted to—pain flooded his entire mind, and sweat as big as beans dripped endlessly from his face onto the ground.
Most terrifying of all, his once-handsome face now had a third of its flesh missing—he looked almost no different from a skull. This was the first time his face had suffered such a grievous wound, but he knew he wouldn't die; as long as he had enough time, he could fully recover.
But he knew the Golden Skeleton would never give him that chance, so he had to leave here as soon as possible—or rather, find a place to hide and conceal his body.
Although he couldn't move his body freely, he could still activate Earthshift. Right now, the only option was to hide himself within the earth; as long as he finished absorbing the gold-element energy inside him, he could kill the enemy.
With a single thought, Earthshift was unleashed. It was agonizing to use, but he forced himself to endure. Once inside the earth, he kept burrowing downward, diving nearly a thousand meters before finally coming to a stop.
It wasn't that he didn't want to go deeper—he simply couldn't move anymore, as if his Chaos Immortal Force had been completely drained at this moment. "Golden Skeleton, once I get out of here, I'll tear you to pieces!" he muttered to himself.
