Evil Venerable of the Sword Dao

Chapter 1624 - 135: Unstoppable Force

Facing Zhuge Xiye’s gaze, Zhou Yan remained quite composed.

In fact, this was not such a remarkable talent; only Zhou Yan himself knew that this was really of little consequence.

However, he did not say, avoiding mentioning this to prevent Zhuge Xiye from having some unnecessary thoughts.

Zhou Yan understood that women are always troublesome, especially when a woman is interested in someone; they become even more troublesome.

Zhou Yan was not afraid of trouble but didn’t want to court trouble.

"The cultivation of a realm, when reaching a certain degree, actually makes one have some feelings inside. Knowing you can succeed mostly means you can succeed, while knowing you might fail inevitably results in failure. This is a matter of foundation and depth."

"Even if you still have a foundation, at this step, it’s indeed wise to retreat. So the Fifth Level of Soul Condensation Realm is actually the realm I judged, and this situation coincides precisely with my derivations."

Zhou Yan explained with a slight smile.

"You can still derive... and determine the realm you can cultivate to?"

Zhuge Xiye was quite shocked.

Zhou Yan chuckled, unconcerned, and said: "In itself, it’s not really a big deal; once you understand, you will realize it’s just one of the many ordinary abilities you possess."

As he spoke, Zhou Yan suddenly looked into the distance, where there seemed to be a unique fluctuation of aura.

Without the realm, Zhou Yan’s abilities in various aspects were severely constrained, but now, at the Fifth Level of Soul Condensation Realm, he faced the Fifth Level of Void Soul Realm without difficulty.

His abilities have far surpassed all cultivators in this realm in various aspects.

So, once he discovered unknown energy fluctuations again, Zhou Yan did not worry in the slightest.

"So, it’s like this-- huh?"

Zhuge Xiye seemed somewhat enlightened but didn’t quite understand Zhou Yan’s words; however, she too noticed the unknown energy fluctuation in the distance upon seeing Zhou Yan’s gaze.

Her expression immediately changed slightly, her demeanor turning grave as she said: "This is a strong being entering Heavenly Mechanism Sect."

"Senior Brother, your previous actions, while making us feel enthusiastic and relieved, have offended too many Holy Lands. Now, it seems a Holy Land is visiting us."

Zhuge Xiye’s words were quite reserved, but Zhou Yan already knew that someone came for revenge.

After the banquet, until now, less than half a day has passed.

In less than half a day, a Holy Land has already come knocking; it seems Heavenly Mechanism Sect is even more unbearable than imagined.

Zhou Yan pondered silently but reined in his emotions, step by step, moving towards the area of unusual energy fluctuations.

"Senior Brother, there’s no need for you to go; the Sect Master and Elders are there--"

Now aware of Zhou Yan’s talent, Zhuge Xiye naturally didn’t want Zhou Yan to risk himself.

Moreover, Zhou Yan’s Ten Thousand Souls Heavenly Mechanism Order has already been given to the Sect Master of Heavenly Mechanism Sect; going there now might be to his disadvantage.

However, Zhou Yan did not heed Zhuge Xiye’s words, nor did he even allow her to finish.

"The Sect Master and Elders cannot handle this."

Zhou Yan said calmly.

"This is my doing; naturally, I need to finish it."

Zhou Yan spoke with a rather composed tone.

To him, it seemed like this matter was of no significance.

Previously, Zhuge Xiye would have believed Zhou Yan’s actions to be endlessly arrogant, but now, knowing Zhou Yan’s character, she knew this is Zhou Yan’s nature, completely indifferent to any Saint Master or old strong figures, even outright disregarding them.

"But doesn’t your action make the Sect Master and Elders’ identity and authority rather awkward?"

"For Heavenly Mechanism Sect to rise, it must first be ruthless in front of outsiders; the current Sect Master of Heavenly Mechanism Sect is good in all aspects, but in terms of ruthlessness, too immature."

Zhou Yan commented.

With that, he no longer paid attention to Zhuge Xiye, instead directly using Heavenly Mechanism Power, transforming into a unique Soul Energy.

Soul Energy overflowed, becoming a pillar of light, paving a Void Road as if it were a Heavenly Road.

With a shift of his figure, Zhou Yan immediately stood upon that road. Instantly, like a contracting torrent, Zhou Yan’s body slid out at extreme speed, while the Void Road constructed of Heavenly Mechanism Power and Soul Energy beneath his feet began to disappear bit by bit.

Such a means left Zhuge Xiye dumbfounded; she could hardly believe such a technique could be performed within Zhou Yan’s realm.

"What Sky-controlling Skill is this, so powerful!"

"Zhou Yan... Senior Brother’s background is unknown; he is so unfathomable."

Zhuge Xiye muttered to herself, then immediately transformed into a flowing light and followed after.

Even as she fully utilized her movement technique and speed, she found herself getting farther away from Zhou Yan.

The distant chaotic air flow wasn’t too far away, but it still required over ten breaths to reach.

Zhou Yan, however, arrived just within one breath.

While Zhuge Xiye only barely caught up after over ten breaths.

At this moment, Zhou Yan was already standing at the mountain gate of the Heavenly Mechanism Sect, and in front of the gate, stood three white-haired elders.

The expressions of the three white-haired elders were cold and grim, their eyes arrogantly fixed on the two elders at the mountain gate of the Heavenly Mechanism Sect.

"Elder He, Elder Guan, regarding this matter, if the Heavenly Mechanism Sect doesn’t give an explanation, how could our Void Sacred Land just let it go like this!"

"Indeed, if only a Saint Heir had died, it might have been tolerable. But this time, more than a hundred of our talented disciples from the Void Sacred Land died here!"

"Moreover, our Ancestral Ancient Sacred Land lost thirty-seven talented disciples!"

"He who kills shall be killed. Bring out the Heavenly Mechanism Saint Son, make him kneel and commit suicide, only then can there be room for negotiation!"

...

The three elders were aggressive.

The faces of the two elders were unpleasant, yet they could only brace themselves and negotiate.

However, all this was before Zhou Yan arrived.

After Zhou Yan’s arrival, the stir immediately caught the attention of the three white-haired elders.

"Ancestral Ancient Sacred Land, Void Sacred Land? What are these things? Go back where you came from, otherwise, you’ll leave with nothing!"

Zhou Yan said coldly.

Then with a flicker of his figure, he directly descended not far in front of the three elders.

His sudden appearance made the two elders of the Heavenly Mechanism Sect both shocked and angry. Originally, this matter was already beyond salvage, and Zhou Yan’s actions would only worsen relations between the Heavenly Mechanism Sect and the many Sacred Lands.

However, in the end, the two elders held back their anger, simply stepping back a few paces, allowing Zhou Yan to handle the matter, no longer getting involved.

Because to engage further would surely drive them mad with fury.

"You brat, what audacity!"

"Indeed, it seems you are the Heavenly Mechanism Saint Son. I was cultivating when you were still drinking milk! So ill-mannered!"

"Since you’ve come out, then abolish your cultivation yourself, lest we do it ourselves!"

The three elders spoke especially harshly.

But Zhou Yan merely glanced coldly at the three, saying, "Previously, to kill you might still require the Yellow Bell, but now, beside this Thirty-Three Heavens Road, killing you is no different than crushing a few ants!"

While speaking, Zhou Yan’s gaze suddenly focused, an extremely terrifying divine brilliance flashed in his eyes.

That brilliance, like bridges, connected Heaven and Earth.

In an instant, all of the Heavenly Mechanism Power from the Heavenly Mechanism Sect surged in a flash, rapidly transforming into a Void Ancient Road.

The Void Ancient Road was like a Tianhe, instantly diving downwards, pouring into the Thirty-Three Heavens Road.

Then, endless energy from the Heavenly Road emerged, transforming into extremely terrifying killing intents.

This sudden transformation made the three white-haired elders change color.

However, Zhou Yan did not relent, instead, the killing intent coalesced, transforming into an extremely terrifying Tao Sword under Zhou Yan’s will.

This sword was as large as a mountain, as lonely as a mountain.

"To let you die under such Sword Dao, is your fortune!"

"So many desire such a death yet never have the chance!"

Zhou Yan said indifferently.

Then, that sky-covering giant sword suddenly came down with a slashing strike.

"Boom--"

The three elders, with terrifying cultivation possibly at the Seventh Layer of Void Soul Realm, were suddenly locked in by this sword and were alive, slashed onto with the giant sword.

It was pure crushing, pure slaughter!

The dull and terrifying sound exploded like thunder, shaking Heaven and Earth, creating ruins with its devastating force.

The three elders used all their might, all their skills, yet still could not resist, almost instantly struck by sword, almost instantly shattered to dust.

This slaughter was simply horrific.

The two elders of the Heavenly Mechanism Sect saw this scene, their eyes nearly bulging out in shock, clearly stunned by the powerful impact.

And such a huge commotion also attracted many disciples and elders to watch.

Even the Sect Master of the Heavenly Mechanism Sect was shocked by such a huge commotion, standing far in the void, witnessing this terrifying scene.

Zhou Yan’s mind moved, that mountain-like giant sword instantly dispersed, transforming into the emperor pattern and Tao light trajectory of the Thirty-Three Heavens Road, all scattering back.

Meanwhile, the Heavenly Mechanism Power of the Heavenly Mechanism Sect instantly restored to normal levels.

But at this moment, Zhou Yan directly displayed the Emperor Qi Dragon Swallowing Sky Divine Skill, a formless power oscillated and covered over, soon, the spirit essence of the three elders was completely devoured by Zhou Yan.

In an instant, Zhou Yan felt the energy within him boiling up, yet the powerful energy from these three elders still couldn’t expand Zhou Yan’s soul one bit, even the realm only slightly increased at the Fifth Level of Soul Condensation Realm.
