BOOM!
Dragonbone Evilmoon tore through the void, carrying the group as they streaked across the sky. Space shattered behind them, rippling like waves in water, as if a warship was slicing through the ocean.
Inside the protective barrier of Evilmoon, a scene flickered to life before them—a group of powerful Nine Star lineage warriors had arrived, led by none other than Lady Bing Yi.
The moment they saw them, the experts of the Primordial Demon Race were both shocked and furious. Among them was the very person who had severed Fei Shuang’s arm.
"It must be them! They must’ve done something to us last time. They lost, but they’re still unwilling to accept defeat! Now they’ve brought reinforcements to settle the score!" someone growled.
Seeing their enemies again, their hatred burned even hotter. Fei Shuang had remained calm all this time, but how could the pain of losing an arm ever be truly forgotten?
Murderous intent flickered in Fei Shuang’s eyes, but she forcefully suppressed her rage. That woman... she had a terrifying aura. There was no doubt—she had completed her fusion with Imperial Flame and condensed her Natal Divine Rune.
"That woman is stronger than Xiao Li," Yue Xiaoqian warned. "Long Chen, you just finished a tough battle. We should avoid a direct clash with them for now."
Yue Xiaoqian had just received the blessing of her ancestors, and her Natal Divine Rune was still forming—it was too soon for her to fight. Besides, this group wasn’t just any ordinary force. If a battle erupted, the consequences would be dire.
Long Chen nodded, his expression serious but relaxed. "The Saintess is wise. We should avoid their edge for now. Let’s flee while recovering and see if we can shake them off."
Hearing Long Chen’s agreement, Yue Xiaoqian was visibly relieved. She had feared he would insist on fighting for the sake of pride. More importantly, she didn’t want him to completely sever ties with the Nine Star lineage—perhaps there was still a misunderstanding that could be resolved. If they clashed again, there would be no turning back.
"Evilmoon…" Long Chen sent a message through his soul.
"Hah, you think I don’t know you? Don’t worry, everything is under control. I won’t let them catch us, but I won’t let them lose us either." Dragonbone Evilmoon responded smugly.
Long Chen smirked. "Good."
"Honestly, let the old cauldron protect them. You and I should team up—I’ll take the lead, and you support me. We might just wipe them out." Dragonbone Evilmoon suggested eagerly.
Long Chen shook his head. "That woman is powerful, and several of her companions are no pushovers either. Even if they’re weaker than Xiao Li, they won’t be far behind.
"You’re strong, but I usually take the lead in our fights. If we switch roles suddenly, our coordination will suffer. Mistakes could cost us dearly.
"Besides, you’re my trump card. If we go all out now and another force shows up, we’ll be in trouble. Kun Cauldron is already being targeted. Many people have figured out its weaknesses and are likely prepared for it.
"Most importantly, Kun Cauldron’s power is meant to deal with Qian Cauldron. We can’t afford to waste it."
Hearing this, Dragonbone Evilmoon fell silent. It understood Long Chen’s logic—this was a critical time, and keeping some cards hidden was the smartest move.
Since the battle with Cang Lu, Evilmoon’s strength had soared. Most enemies weren’t even worth its time. But this woman—Bing Yi—was different. She was strong, and that excited Evilmoon.
"Give me half a day. Then, we’ll deal with them properly." Long Chen declared.
"Heh, fine!"
Hearing this, Dragonbone Evilmoon grew excited. It meant that it, Lord Evilmoon, would soon make its grand entrance once more.
HUMMMM!
Long Chen formed hand seals. Behind him, an eight-colored divine ring spun, transforming into a massive vortex. Heaven and earth trembled as he forcibly absorbed celestial energy to heal himself.
As he did, he noticed a strange shift in the Heavenly Domain Battlefield’s laws. The repulsion from the Heavenly Dao was growing stronger. That could only mean one thing—the foreign experts were changing the rules of this world again.
But Long Chen had no time to worry about that now. He needed to recover. The immediate crisis came first.
Meanwhile, only half a stick of incense later…
BOOM!
The void exploded. Ice-cold starry light descended as Bing Yi and her warriors arrived.
Her icy gaze swept across the area, carefully sensing the residual fluctuations in space. She snorted coldly.
"They changed direction and left a false trail. How childish. Move!"
She raised her arm. Starlight surged, enveloping her group. In an instant, they vanished.
Dragonbone Evilmoon pushed forward relentlessly, carrying the group across space. Time passed—three whole hours flew by in the blink of an eye.
Suddenly, Evilmoon tensed. "Something’s wrong. The space ahead feels… different. Kun Cauldron, check it out."
Kun Cauldron, who had been in deep slumber, was abruptly awakened. When it saw the surroundings, it froze in shock.
"This… could it really be fate?" Kun Cauldron murmured in disbelief.
Evilmoon’s temper flared. "What the hell are you mumbling about? Speak clearly! What’s in front of us? Should I go around?"
Kun Cauldron snapped out of its daze. "No. Charge through. There’s another barrier beyond this one. Just be careful not to disturb Long Chen. If you don’t think you can break through, I’ll take over."
"Hah! You think I can’t handle a little wall? Watch me!" Evilmoon sneered.
The protective barrier around them shifted, transforming into a streamlined, spear-like shape.
WHOOSH! WHOOSH! WHOOSH!
Like an unstoppable arrow, Evilmoon ripped through space. The resistance ahead grew stronger, but it sliced through effortlessly.
Then, suddenly—a celestial barrier appeared before them.
"Star Barrier?!" Evilmoon’s tone changed.
BOOOOOM!
The spearhead rammed into the barrier. A terrifying force rippled out, causing Evilmoon’s entire form to tremble violently.
Thankfully, Kun Cauldron’s warning had come just in time. Evilmoon had layered protective energy around their group, absorbing the impact so that no one inside was disturbed.
The celestial barrier wavered like a water surface, but instead of shattering, it quickly repaired itself.
As they passed through, Dragonbone Evilmoon’s vision cleared, revealing a vast plaza ahead.
In the center stood two towering statues.
One was a gaunt man, holding a vermillion brush, writing something on the forehead of a kneeling woman.
"This…?"
For the first time, Dragonbone Evilmoon was left speechless.
