The starlight erupting from Evan Chu’s sword made the Grand Elder and the other God‑Venerables tremble in fear. They all understood how to borrow Stellar Power, but here, no pillar of starlight was visible in the sky—he hadn’t borrowed any Stellar Power at all, and yet it appeared. This phenomenon was truly unfathomable.
The Frostbane Divine Sword in Evan Chu’s hand trembled slightly. In a flash, his figure split into several bodies, as if seven mighty war gods appeared in the air. The crushing aura he radiated was far beyond what an early‑stage God‑Venerable could possibly possess.
"Such overwhelming Stellar Power! Such tyrannical presence!" The Grand Elder finally snapped back to his senses and exclaimed.
The two God‑Venerables who had attacked Evan Chu also changed expressions, a sense of dread washing over them. They didn’t believe he could kill them outright, but injury was definitely possible. For this kid to instantly unleash Stellar Power was just freakish.
Though describing it takes time, everything happened in a split second. The three attacks collided in midair—especially Evan Chu’s Absolute Cleave and Wind‑God Sword Art, which were downright terrifying. It felt as if his strike could shatter the entire space.
The shockwaves spread across tens of thousands, even hundreds of thousands of miles, shaking the region. The other powers in the Sea Regions clearly sensed the immense energy fluctuations, all trying to guess who was fighting so fiercely. Judging by the direction, it had to be within East Sea Domain Palace’s territory.
"Someone! Go check what’s happening at East Sea Domain Palace. Why is there such a huge commotion?" ordered a middle‑aged man in a purple robe at South Sea Domain Palace.
"East Sea Domain Palace has stirred up such a massive disturbance—how strange. Grand Elder, send two people to investigate what’s going on. Make sure you pick clever ones; I don’t want the East Sea Domain Lord to catch wind of this," said the West Sea Domain Lord.
North Sea Domain Palace reacted the same way, sending people to check things out. But right now, the East Sea Domain Lord’s face was twisted in rage—his own son had been slain, and this uproar was clearly the result of the killer clashing with the Grand Elder and the others.
Anyone who could cause such chaos had to be terrifyingly strong. The East Sea Domain Lord was even a little worried for the Grand Elder and the others’ safety, deeply suspicious about the killer’s true identity. He decided to rush over in person.
Meanwhile, inside the Sea Regions’ mightiest stronghold—Sea Dragon Hall—a middle‑aged man’s expression turned oddly thoughtful. He seemed to sense something and said to the others, “Such a powerful commotion hasn’t happened in the Sea Regions for ages. The energy feels strangely familiar. Who has the guts to stir up trouble at East Sea Domain Palace?”
“Why overthink it, Hall Master? Just bring out the God‑Image Mirror and see for yourself—let’s find out who’s making all this noise,” an elder suggested.
“The God‑Image Mirror hasn’t been used in thousands of years—maybe it’s time to put it to work! Let’s see who it is!” said the middle‑aged man, who was none other than the Sea Dragon Hall Master, the Sea Regions’ top powerhouse rumored to have broken through to the God‑Emperor Realm.
The Sea Dragon Hall Master produced a palm‑sized stone mirror. Its surface wasn’t very smooth, but if you looked closely, you could sense powerful energy rippling across it. “In a moment, everyone pour Divine Power into the God‑Image Mirror—the more Divine Power you feed it, the clearer the image. You’ll even be able to sense the target’s aura.”
With that, he injected a stream of Divine Power into the stone mirror, which immediately radiated a dazzling white light. Gradually, the mirror floated up from his hand and hovered in midair.
Next, the mirror began to spin and expand. Within a few breaths, it grew into a massive stone mirror more than two meters wide, and its once‑rough surface smoothed out until it gleamed.
"Pour in Divine Power!" the Sea Dragon Hall Master commanded.
Instantly, beams of light flared in everyone’s hands as they poured Divine Power into the mirror. After nearly half a stick of incense, they finally stopped, and an image appeared on the mirror’s surface.
The image showed Evan Chu locked in a fierce battle with two God‑Venerables. His terrifying Stellar Power and overwhelming attacks were displayed in full detail, making it feel like they were right there on the battlefield.
At this, the Sea Dragon Hall Master’s expression turned even stranger. “This kid is only early‑stage God‑Venerable, yet he can withstand the attacks of two late‑stage God‑Venerable elites at once. That’s just unbelievable. Who is he? The Sea Regions have never seen anyone like this before.”
“Hall Master, this kid is no ordinary cultivator. Did you see his clones? He can summon six bodies at once—his clone technique looks a lot like yours, except you can only summon five. Could he have learned your ultimate art?” an elder asked.
“That’s exactly what puzzles me. This clone technique has a history. Our Sea Dragon Clan doesn’t possess such a clone martial art. Back then, I learned it from a super‑expert I encountered, but he didn’t have the complete technique either, so I can only produce five clones myself.
And that super‑expert wasn’t from the Sea Regions—he came from the Mainland, just to search for a meteorite. So the clone technique this kid is showing now is very likely something that expert passed down to him.
There’s also a chance he’s from the Mainland himself. Right now, he’s not in danger, but the East Sea Domain Palace elders haven’t made their move yet. It’s a bit worrying,” said the Sea Dragon Hall Master.
“So you mean we should step in and help him?” the elder asked. Anyone able to speak directly with the Sea Dragon Hall Master clearly held high status within Sea Dragon Hall.
“Grand Elder, I want you to go in person. If this young man really is connected to that peerless expert, then I want to help him—after all, I owe that man a favor! And I’d like to learn more about the Mainland,” the Sea Dragon Hall Master said.
“Rest assured, Hall Master. I’ll head out immediately—I doubt the East Sea Domain Palace folks can do anything to him right away!” the elder replied.
He immediately picked out several Sea Dragons from the main hall, then transformed into his true body and flew toward East Sea Domain Palace at astonishing speed. If Evan Chu were here, even he might not be able to keep up.
At that moment, Evan Chu’s two ultimate attacks struck the two God‑Venerables. The collision of their immense power produced a deafening roar—this was the strongest attack Evan Chu could unleash right now.
The backlash sent him flying hundreds of meters; he couldn’t help but spit out a mouthful of golden blood, his face pale. Clearly, he was badly injured…
