A blood-colored saber sliced right through the mutated dragon lizard’s defenses and floated in the air, the dragon lizard’s Neidan hanging on its tip.
Evilmoon was back, and it looked so red it seemed ready to drip fresh blood. Strange lines covered its blade, and the edge shone with a bewitchingly sharp light.
Long Chen felt the world’s energy quickly fading. Even the laws of the world seemed to pull back in fear.
Evilmoon trembled, draining the Neidan until it turned to dust. All the powerful energy inside was swallowed up in an instant.
“Call me master Evilmoon! From now on, I’ll be looking after you!” Evilmoon exclaimed.
Demonic blood light flashed on top of it, like a devil’s eye staring at Long Chen.
Long Chen snorted. “So you’re finally willing to come out. You must have mastered your second state, right?”
“Nope!”
“What the fuck?!” Long Chen demanded, “You were in seclusion for that long and still haven’t mastered your second state?! Then what are you bragging about?!”
“Hehe, I’ve found the method for that. It’s only a matter of time. Don’t worry, no one will be able to touch you with me here!” Evilmoon chuckled confidently.
“Can you control that power?” asked Long Chen.
“Hehe, but of course. In truth, I should have been able to master my second form, but I changed my mind. I stopped it and gathered all my power to the edge of my blade. You also saw how you couldn’t beat it for so long, but my activated edge instantly cut it to pieces!”
“But that comes at the price of defense!” Long Chen complained.
Since their souls were linked, Long Chen knew everything.
“Naturally, you have to spend all your energy on the edge of the blade. I didn’t just abandon my defense—I also abandoned all my original core runes,” said Evilmoon.
Long Chen was stunned. It was true—except for the runes on the edge, all the others were gone. He only saw vein-like lines left. Even the runes for the nine forms of Split the Heavens had vanished.
Staring in disbelief, Long Chen muttered, “So you’re…”
With a serious tone, Evilmoon said, “As a nine star heir, you follow a different path than the Star Master. During my seclusion, I reflected deeply, especially on what that old cauldron told me. It seemed to hint at something important. I suddenly realized that my past shouldn’t be the shackles of my future. Only by leaving the past behind can I embrace what lies ahead!”
Evilmoon’s words stirred something deep inside Long Chen, especially the idea of leaving the past behind to welcome the future. It felt like he was looking at his own reflection.
He had always struggled with whether or not he was the reincarnation of the Star Master. Even though he told himself he was just himself, the question still bothered him. He really wanted to know the truth…
However, Evilmoon’s words enlightened him, making everything suddenly clearer.
Long Chen sighed, “Evilmoon, I never knew you were so wise!”
Evilmoon chuckled, “If you kneel and call me master, I will teach you everything I know!”
“Scram! Hmph, you only have a single kind of core rune left. What are you planning?” asked Long Chen contemptuously.
“Tch, even with only one core rune left, I still have my body. I will forge my own Dao and laws! If I clench my hand, I can only grasp what fits in my fist. But if I open it, the entire world is at my fingertips! I will seize all of heaven and earth. All the ten thousand Daos and laws will belong to me! My creation through destruction will forge an even greater version of myself!” Evilmoon snorted.
Long Chen acted unimpressed, but inside, he was deeply moved. This way of thinking was truly groundbreaking. He could not sense such a mindset from the Earth Cauldron or Heavenly Devil Zither.
Evilmoon had a desire to escape the bindings of fate. That was not something an item-spirit should possess.
“So what abilities do you have other than a sharp edge?” asked Long Chen.
“None!”
“...”
“Isn’t that normal? I have been reborn! I’m basically a newborn! Being able to keep my sharpness is already impressive!”
Long Chen waved his hand. When a petal fell into his hand, he pressed it lightly. The petal shattered right away, as if it had been frozen. It couldn’t handle even a little pressure.
Long Chen was dumbfounded.
Before Long Chen could ask, Evilmoon explained, “My sharpness is concentrated in only one part of me. Absorbing the cores of these mutated creatures will increase my sharpness, which I can then transfer to my other split bodies.”
“So we have to walk that old path again?” asked Long Chen.
“But of course. This is why I was reborn. I have a feeling that I missed something back then, so we have to start over! Don’t worry, my growth will increase significantly as I devour these cores. Watch!”
Evilmoon suddenly sank down and cut through the dragon lizard’s horn as if it were paper.
It was the hardest part of the dragon lizard, and not even a Divine Sovereign law item could break it. However, it couldn’t stand up to Evilmoon’s sharpness.
Evilmoon said, “All I have is sharpness. I cannot handle any other powers, or I might explode. So, you'll need to rely on your mental energy to use me now.”
Evilmoon was exceedingly sharp, but it had also become extremely frail. It couldn’t endure Long Chen’s power now.
When Long Chen threw the dragon lizard’s corpse into the primal chaos space, the black soil devoured it and released a huge amount of life energy and law power.
This was the corpse of a peak Divine Emperor. Its law power was astonishing. After it was devoured, Long Chen could sense law power fluctuations emanating from Huo Linger and the others. This showed that it had been highly beneficial to them.
Through the black soil, they could absorb the purest law power. Once they learned to control it, he wouldn’t have to worry about even Divine Sovereign Forerunners.
Unfortunately, the primal chaos space had to feed many existences, so Huo Linger and the others couldn’t get it all. In any case, Long Chen didn’t have the ability to concentrate the primal chaos space’s power onto them.
There was still some time, so Long Chen wasn’t worried. With Evilmoon out of seclusion, he could use its sharpness to launch deadly sneak attacks. Even Forerunners would die if he ambushed them.
Suddenly, Long Chen’s heart trembled, and he swung his hand. An enormous python that had silently approached was immediately pierced through the head by Evilmoon.
Long Chen smiled slightly. With Evilmoon by his side, he felt invincible once more.
His body vanished into the darkness, with Evilmoon resting on his back.
