Evil Venerable of the Sword Dao

Chapter 1579 - 102: Di Yan

Zhou Yan reorganized all the past cultivation paths, then summarized them, knowing himself and his enemies.

Thus, facing the inheritance of Ten Thousand Immortals and Ten Thousand Buddhas, if he wished, he could even crush the opponent.

However, he knew that Zhou Wangchen’s purpose was to induce his own greater progress through his opponent’s advancements, thereby achieving a greater transformational breakthrough.

This was the true secret, and it was also the true reason for the unending Silent Annihilation Battlefield battle.

This reason sounds so incredible.

Yet, in this world, incredible matters are often unimaginable, and often do not occur under normal circumstances.

After completing this small enlightenment and organization on the Ancestor Dragon Warship, Zhou Yan’s mental state settled into tranquility. At this moment, he headed towards another secret land within the Void Ancient Palace.

That place is named ’Ten Thousand Soul Domain.’

The Ten Thousand Soul Domain is within the Void Ancient Palace, and it’s a relatively important place for the Emperor Soul Clan.

In this place, besides Zhou Yan and Zhou Wangchen, Azure Dragon Ao Qing and some core members of the Jiang family can come here; others would never visit.

However, when Zhou Yan arrived here, he saw five other very peculiar beings.

The first person, or the first Holy Spirit, was encountered a long time ago; she is Jiang Mingyue.

The second Holy Spirit was Zhuge Jiayue.

The third Holy Spirit was Zhou Lingyao.

The fourth Holy Spirit was Zhou Lingyi.

The fifth Holy Spirit was Feng Zishuang.

When Zhou Yan saw them, they also saw Zhou Yan, but their faces did not reveal any excitement.

Clearly, upon arriving here, hearing and seeing some things, or perhaps being informed by Zhou Lingyi and Zhuge Jiayue about certain matters, many things became completely clear in their hearts.

Once known, naturally, there would be no good feelings towards the person who ’killed’ their husband.

"Holy Spirit Evil Venerate."

Among the five Holy Spirits, the one who took the initiative to speak was indeed Zhuge Jiayue.

At this moment, she stood beside Zhou Lingyao.

Whereas Zhou Lingyi had distanced herself from Zhou Lingyao, seemingly as if they are completely estranged.

"Zhuge Jiayue? I never expected you would reach this place."

Zhou Yan sighed slightly. Having left the Emperor Soul Clan for a long time, there were some things he naturally didn’t know about.

Including Zhuge Jiayue and Zhou Lingyao’s presence here, he wasn’t aware.

In this regard, Azure Dragon Ao Qing hadn’t mentioned it either.

"Indeed, I have arrived here. I was simply wondering if the promise you made to the Emperor Heaven Clan still stands."

"Promise?"

Zhou Yan showed a slight puzzlement, but quickly, incredibly distant memories emerged in his mind, and these memories were about... the past promise involving the transformation of the Emperor Heaven Clan into Tianji Mountain, entering the Soul Burying Starfield, appropriately coordinating with Lee Ran, and seizing the bloodline inheritance of the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors.

Because of such cooperation, Zhou Yan’s current combat power, based on the foundation of the Holy Spirit Evil Venerate, further progressed, nearly invincible.

Zhou Yan recalled this matter and realized that the so-called layouts had multiple layers.

These are very distant memories, accompanied by a series of emotions, suppressed by Zhou Yan.

Now, as they resurfaced, along with many past events, they surged together.

Tianji Mountain, Zhuge Wuwei, Zhuge Tianchen, Zhuge Chunqiu, Zhuge Jiayue, etc., those characters were also familiar to him.

Yet unexpectedly, these existences all originated from the Emperor Heaven Clan.

"So, do you remember now?"

Zhuge Jiayue snorted coldly, her tone carrying a hint of dissatisfaction.

"I remember. This promise we cannot fulfill right now, but there is hope. It still requires some time."

Zhou Yan pondered and spoke.

His tone was somewhat softened.

At least, the cold and mercilessly harsh demeanor did not manifest.

This attitude clearly dissatisfied Zhuge Jiayue.

"Holy Spirit Evil Venerate, nearly five thousand years have passed in this era. This time holds little significance for us, but now that you’ve returned, you show no sincerity."

"Isn’t this a bit excessive?"

Zhuge Jiayue expressed displeasure.

"Waited five thousand years, can’t you wait another ten years at most?"

Zhou Yan retorted.

At this moment, his tone was already quite harsh.

Zhuge Jiayue wanted to say more, but when she saw Zhou Yan’s cold eyes, ruthless and emitting a fierce light, she shivered all over, ultimately suppressing all dissatisfaction.

"Alright, we’ll discuss this matter later. But how do we explain the situation with Di Yan? Our Emperor Heaven Clan member, Zhuge Tianzhao, was slain two days ago, and our Emperor Heaven Holy Spirit Seal has been seized and devoured.

"What, aren’t you giving an explanation?"

"An explanation? What explanation does Di Yan need to give you?"

Appearing before Zhou Yan was a cold and arrogant middle-aged man whom Zhou Yan was not very familiar with.

However, after he appeared, his eyes scanned around, and when his gaze landed on Feng Zishuang and Zhou Lingyi, his eyes flashed with intense interest.

As for Zhou Yan, he was directly ignored.

Zhou Yan naturally knew that Di Yan, having now gathered strength, already harbored ambitions of seizing power.

After all, the Evil Emperor had been injured, and his Holy Spirit Evil Venerate seemed to have just returned, with weak strength.

Zhou Yan looked at Di Yan, observing his change in temperament, and with a slight edge in his eyes, he said, "I said, who is so formidable, calculating against me so many times, considered my greatest enemy in past years, and even having the capacity to control the core mystery of the Elf Domain. So it’s you."

Zhou Yan did not respond to Zhuge Jiayue; instead, he spoke coldly to Di Yan.

Di Yan snorted coldly and said, "The Holy Spirit Evil Venerate really is formidable, realizing that I also participated in that arrangement."

"But so what? Hasn’t the Evil Venerate returned now? If it weren’t for me, how could the Evil Venerate have obtained so many women? Women of the Human Clan, I must say, the taste is quite nice."

Di Yan laughed coldly, with no respect or awe in his words, but rather a thick sense of sarcasm.

Zhou Yan did not flare up; he just looked at Di Yan indifferently and said, "Gles, your influence is not small either. You have gathered many Holy Spirits in this Emperor Soul Clan. So, gather all this strength together."

Zhou Yan’s calm words caused Di Yan’s face to darken, and he said, "What does the Evil Venerate intend? Do you plan to suppress me, Di Yan?"

"At this extreme realm of Holy Spirit, everyone is invincible. You may have the credentials to fight me, but you don’t have the qualifications to defeat me! I’m not Azure Dragon, that little worm, nor your undead and deathless old waste father, there’s no need for me to let you knead me at will or to show you any courtesy!"

"Moreover, at this juncture, do you dare to initiate a battle with our Emperor Soul Clan, Zhou Yan? In the Soul Burying Starfield, you are inferior to me, and in the True Void Space of the Eternal Life Domain, I even disdain to contend with you because it’s unnecessary. You can’t even surpass yourself, so after my Awakening, I simply felt it was meaningless and returned."

"Returning was just in time to capture all your former subordinates and torture them for fun. This feeling is quite enjoyable. It allows me to enjoy every moment."

Di Yan chuckled sinisterly.

Zhou Yan’s gaze fixed on Di Yan and said, "Are you sure, you can remain undying and indestructible?"

"Then take one sword strike from me."

"One sword strike: if you lose, you’re at my mercy! One sword strike: if you win, I’ll undergo Transformation to Annihilation right here, becoming Eternal and Destruction."

Zhou Yan coldly stated.

"Are you hysterical? Or are you trying to squeeze me with your pathetic schemes? Do you think I’d stoop to the level of dealing with a waste like you?"

"Do you know why Zhuge Jiayue is here? The conditions you promised them, I can agree to those as well, and I can offer even more!"

"As for Zhuge Tianzhao’s death, he brought it upon himself. This person overstepped his bounds, attempting to lay hands on Feng Zishuang and Zhou Lingyi, the Absolute Grade women of the Emperor Ancient Clan that I had captured, an act courting death!"

Di Yan sneered, his words full of viciousness.

Zhou Yan’s gaze immediately shifted to Zhuge Jiayue.

Under Zhou Yan’s cold gaze, Zhuge Jiayue immediately lost a lot of confidence.

Her eyes flickered, not daring to meet Zhou Yan’s piercing gaze.

Immediately, Zhou Yan understood in his heart that Di Yan was right. Zhuge Tianzhao had indeed brought it on himself.

Such a person, even if Di Yan hadn’t dealt with him, Zhou Yan certainly would have killed him.

However, this Di Yan dared to snatch Feng Zishuang and Zhou Lingyi, knowing they were Zhou Yan’s women?

This was truly lawless and reckless!

Zhou Yan’s gaze was like a sword, gathering all his combat power between his brows, making him seem like an unrivaled Sword of Slaughter about to be unsheathed at this moment.

"Hmm? I must admit, your aura is impressive, having regained the highest standards of the past. Not bad. Despite all these years of turmoil, you haven’t dropped a level in your realm and combat power, truly remarkable!"

"However, while you haven’t fallen, I, Di Yan, have been advancing! Do you think you can crush me now relying on your original realm? It’s simply wishful thinking!"

"Zhou Yan, let me tell you, I know Zhou Lingyi and Feng Zishuang are your women, but they’re only the women of that waste of a Human Clan member, Zhou Yan, and that waste of a Human Clan member is dead, killed by you! Do you think you’re still their man?"

"I think you should come to your senses!"

"Also, don’t reveal your Sword Intent in front of me. Play with swords? That’s not my game!"

As Di Yan spoke, his eyes instantly transformed into a cold and intensely burning Holy Spirit Seal bow and arrow.

The bow and arrow exuded a terrifying combat power that seized the heart and soul.

But this scene only caused Zhou Yan to feel slightly perturbed, without any true sense of crisis.

Di Yan didn’t know that the Origin returned by Gu Xi was complete, not regressing but nourishing and constantly progressing.

Di Yan didn’t know that after restoring his Origin, Zhou Yan learned the supreme Dao of the Evil Spirit Dominator Evil Dragon Inheritance through entering the Evil of Ten Thousand Immortals and Ten Thousand Buddhas.

Di Yan didn’t know that through exchanges with Zhou Wangchen, Zhou Yan had already been taught the method of engraving and Creation. Zhou Yan entered the Ancestor Dragon Warship to verify this Dao and integrate it, forming even greater combat power.

Thus, Di Yan remained so arrogant and disdainful, feeling invincible!

But Zhou Yan simply condensed the Holy Spirit Seal of the Thunder Flame Sword in his eyes.

Zhou Yan was prepared to strike, to deliver a fatal blow to Di Yan!

The Evil Venerate Sword Dao would be unleashed for the first time!

When this sword strike was unleashed, even if Di Yan could withstand it, his Holy Spirit Seal would undoubtedly fracture, suffering a severe blow!
