Immortal Lord Lin asked, "Plane Lord, what does this umbrella do?"
"This umbrella is a treasure. It prevents certain people from being restricted by the laws here. After all, every plane has its own existence laws. In this place, weaker cultivators are excluded. I use this to guarantee my entire army can enter and trample across the Immortal Realm." The Plane Lord laughed.
Hearing this, Immortal Lord Lin smiled, "It really is a good treasure. But for a lower-level plane like the Immortal Realm, its laws aren't that strong. At most, it restricts weaker cultivators. If it were another plane, probably anyone below God level wouldn't be able to enter freely."
"That's true. There's nothing I can do about it; this Immortal Realm was created by several Gods together, not by a single person, so it's very incomplete. But I never expected that in such an Immortal Realm, someone would appear who infuriates me." Thinking of how Evan Yang destroyed his avatar, the Plane Lord snorted coldly.
"We have a common enemy, Plane Lord. Don't worry, I'll definitely take care of Evan Yang." Immortal Lord Lin had seen the image provided by the Plane Lord and knew that was Evan Yang, so he was delighted. At least he had such a powerful backer now, and besides, he himself had grown much stronger.
"Alright, let me check what my vanguard is doing now." The Plane Lord said. He closed his eyes for a moment, then frowned, "Strange, I can't contact any of them."
"What's wrong?" Immortal Lord Lin asked curiously.
"Those people can't be reached—how is that possible? Damn it, who killed them?" The Plane Lord said angrily.
Just then, a creature flashed in front of the Plane Lord and said, "Plane Lord, many people from the Immortal Realm have appeared ahead."
"Is that so?" The Plane Lord spread his Divine Sense and indeed saw many Immortal Realm people, and the leader was Evan Yang. He snorted, "Perfect timing. Today I'll wipe them all out and see who in the Immortal Realm can still oppose me."
Evan Yang led his group and was now only a few hundred meters from the Plane Lord and his forces. Evan smiled, "So you're the Plane Lord? I really didn't expect you to still be alive after all this time!"
"Hmph, you? You think you can kill me? If I'd known, back when you went to find those Gods, I should've destroyed you when you met the divine incarnation. I should've wiped you out then!" The Plane Lord snorted.
"Looking for divine incarnations?" Evan Yang asked, puzzled.
"That's right. Do you remember who guided you on the Divine Saint Star?" The Plane Lord asked.
Evan Yang thought for a moment and said, "You were that flying insect?"
"That's right, that was me. And those divine incarnations were my energy. By devouring them, I restored myself to this form. If I'd known you had the power to destroy my avatar, I would've devoured you right then." The Plane Lord snorted.
Hearing this, Evan Yang was shocked. He never imagined the Plane Lord would be so terrifyingly powerful, or that the flying insect from back then was actually him.
"What, surprised?" The Plane Lord sneered at Evan Yang's expression.
"Yes, I'm truly shocked. I never expected this." Evan Yang said with a smile.
"But that's all in the past. Today, I won't let you go—I'll definitely destroy you." The Plane Lord snorted.
Evan Yang turned to Gavin White (White Moon) beside him and said, "Leave this fight to me. You just protect everyone. With your strength, no one here is your match."
Gavin White (White Moon) replied, "Alright."
At this moment, Immortal Lord Lin stepped out from the crowd and said, "Evan Yang, we meet again."
"You really are like a cockroach that can't be killed. What will it take to finish you off?" Evan Yang said helplessly upon seeing Immortal Lord Lin again.
"I told you, as long as a speck of my body remains, combined with a bit of my soul, I can come back." Immortal Lord Lin said.
"That ability of yours is pretty freakish. But today, no matter what, I'll destroy you so completely that not even a speck remains." Evan Yang said.
"Arrogant! Let me tell you, my strength is no joke now. Forget you, even Gods have to back down before me!" Immortal Lord Lin said confidently.
"Is that so? And what if I told you that even Gods are nothing in front of me? Would you believe it?" Evan Yang gave a sly smile.
"Ridiculous. You really think you're stronger than a God?" Immortal Lord Lin said, not believing him.
"Why don't you try and see for yourself?" Evan Yang sneered, and with a flash, appeared in front of Immortal Lord Lin. This time, Immortal Lord Lin managed to react and dodged quickly. Evan Yang laughed, "Not bad, you really are stronger than before. But even so, it's not enough. Even if you were a God, you couldn't escape from me."
After speaking, Evan Yang flashed behind Immortal Lord Lin. This time, Evan was even faster, catching Immortal Lord Lin off guard, and slapped his palm down on Lin's head.
Immortal Lord Lin was sent flying downward, and Evan Yang leaped forward, kicking him straight toward the Plane Lord. Evan laughed, "He's all yours."
When the Plane Lord caught Immortal Lord Lin, Lin was already a mess, seemingly wanting to say something, but the Plane Lord snorted, "Useless!" and stomped him beneath his foot, making even the dust vanish instantly.
As the Plane Lord's aura erupted, Evan Yang realized the Plane Lord had already half-stepped into the Heavenly Dao. No wonder he was able to defeat so many Gods back then.
"So, you've half-stepped into the Heavenly Dao." Evan Yang smiled.
"You understand the Heavenly Dao?" Hearing Evan Yang's words, the Plane Lord's anger turned to suspicion. Evan smiled, "Of course I do. If I told you I've destroyed several half-step Heavenly Dao beings, would you believe it?"
"Impossible! You think I'd believe that?" The Plane Lord said, not believing him.
Evan Yang sneered, "Then try it yourself."
The Plane Lord ordered those around him, "Go and devour the Immortal Realm—I’ll deal with this troublesome one myself."
Immediately, the army under the umbrella charged toward the Immortal Realm without restraint. There were too many creatures, and Evan Yang frowned, quickly saying to the Water Temple Palace Lord and the others, "We must stop them, or the Immortal Realm is in trouble."
The Water Temple Palace Lord and the others quickly formed up, and several palace lords activated a massive formation while the others poured power into it.
Seeing them create a barrier, Evan Yang felt much more at ease. He reminded Gavin White (White Moon) to guard against sneak attacks on the others, then focused on the Plane Lord and smiled, "So, what now?"
Seeing his army blocked, the Plane Lord snorted, "Once I finish you, I'll deal with them."
With that, the Plane Lord roared in anger and charged at Evan Yang. His enormous body slammed forward like a powerful force, rushing toward Evan. Evan spread his arms and unleashed a vortex, which spun as the Plane Lord continued his wild assault.
"Your body really is tough." After seeing his opponent crash into him repeatedly without injury, Evan Yang sneered.
"Of course. How could I be fragile? Today I'll destroy all of you!" The Plane Lord shouted.
The Plane Lord launched a furious attack, but he still couldn't do anything to Evan Yang. Not only that, he gradually started retreating. Evan Yang leaped onto his back, drew the Soul-Devouring Divine Sword, and snorted, "Let me send you on your way—your soul won't escape this time!"
With that, Evan Yang stabbed the Soul-Devouring Divine Sword into the Plane Lord's back. The Plane Lord screamed in agony, "Ah!"
The Plane Lord's massive body rolled through the void, instantly flinging Evan Yang aside.
On the other side, Evan Yang muttered in surprise, "Damn, such overwhelming strength."
Severely wounded, the Plane Lord took the opportunity to crash into the formation, shattering it instantly. The swarm of bug-creatures surged like a tide, attacking everyone. Gavin White (White Moon) waved her hand, and a sweep of power erased every creature in her path.
The Immortal Realm defenders, who had been worried, felt much relieved after seeing Gavin White's strength. At this moment, the Plane Lord was shocked as well, sensing Gavin White's terrifying power and thinking, "She's actually at the Heavenly Dao level."
"I didn't expect you to escape here." Evan Yang, wielding the Soul-Devouring Divine Sword, once again slashed at the Plane Lord's head.
In an instant, the Plane Lord's head was severed. Gavin White cleared out the remaining creatures, and the rest, seeing this, fled in panic. The Plane Lord was furious but helpless—he had lost not only to Evan Yang, but also to this strange woman.
The Plane Lord roared, "Evan Yang, just wait! This is only the beginning. We'll meet again."
"Do you have another avatar?" Evan Yang hated avatars the most. But the Plane Lord sneered, "No, this is my only body. But I still have my soul."
"You think your soul can escape? Under the Soul-Devouring Divine Sword, no soul can get away!" Evan Yang said, drawing his sword. But the Plane Lord's body instantly went inert, floating motionless—the soul was gone.
Evan Yang frowned. The Soul-Devouring Divine Sword should never have missed the soul—this was too strange, beyond anything he had imagined.
"Strange. The soul just vanished like that," Evan Yang said, puzzled. Gavin White was shocked, "Soul Transfer Art!"
Seeing Gavin White's expression, Evan Yang walked over curiously and asked, "What's the Soul Transfer Art?"
"The Soul Transfer Art automatically teleports the soul to a designated location when it's in danger," Gavin White explained.
"So bizarre?" Evan Yang asked, still puzzled.
"Yes, that's the frightening part of this technique. I didn't expect someone who hasn't reached the Heavenly Dao to use it—so strange," Gavin White said, curious.
"Who can use this kind of technique?" Evan Yang asked, puzzled.
"In the Heavenly Dao Realm, only two people can use it. But this isn't one of them. If it were, I'd recognize them," Gavin White said, perplexed.
