Chapter 294: Chapter 168: Battle with Ji Tianxu (3)

At this moment, when Zhou Yan threw a punch, thousands of fist shadows appeared in the sky, each one as if imbued with the spiritual nature of divine beings.

Each Fist Intent was like a brand, a natural Heavenly Dao and law’s brand, no different from the power of Sovereignty, of the highest rank.

Each Fist Intent seemed capable of shattering the Void, carrying a terrifying will similar to that of a Grandmaster’s Shattering Void.

"Humming—"

A cold wind blew, and heaven and earth were filled with Fist Intents and shadows. Within the Fist Intent, even the guarded Cultivators began to grow bewildered, as if they had suddenly lost all worries, also losing all Battle Intent as if nothing mattered anymore.

They gave up on resisting, gave up on the fighting spirit, gave up on dreams and pursuits, no longer floundering in the bitter sea of the human world...

Such Fist Intent was terrifying, capable of destroying a person’s Spirit and fighting will in an instant, not to be touched.

Ji Tianxu’s face paled instantly, but with a furious shout, he spat out a mouthful of Essence Blood and slapped out a Blood Sword with one hand.

The Blood Sword carved out a blank space in heaven and earth, giving Ji Tianxu a moment’s respite.

Then, Ji Tianxu unleashed all his techniques one after another without any hesitation, recklessly attacking Zhou Yan.

Previously, perhaps he intended to use Zhou Yan for some purpose, fearing that striking with full force would kill Zhou Yan, so Ji Tianxu held back. But now, having nearly been suppressed to death himself, he dared not hold back any longer and went all out!

If he held back any further, he would surely die here!

His sinister eyes flickered, his face showed alarm, but he quickly calmed down and unleashed endless techniques wildly!

The masses!

Mere insects!

Destruction!

This is the Way of the Evil King, the Heavenly Sword Dao.

This was a terrifying Tao. Once this Tao evolved, it had the power to seize the creation of heaven and earth. Even the elders like Cai Xuan Hou Yanxianxian of the Void Five were severely suppressed, feeling almost powerless to resist this imposing aura.

Here, without the incredibly strong Realm restrictions of the outside, purely in terms of Combat Power, Zhou Yan, Ji Tianxu, and Hou Ling’er were the strongest!

But after all, Hou Ling’er didn’t have Zhou Yan’s abilities, relying solely on the mysterious Light Saber, she wasn’t yet at that level of combat force, only slightly superior to Huang FuZhan and others.

The Way of the Evil King, once displayed, was a truly terrifying rule. Under the coverage of this rule, all other Cultivators’ abilities were stripped away.

Before the Emperor, mere insects should not possess the power to resist, and could only wait to die!

This is the Way of the masses and mere insects!

This Way carries a rule of dominion, with one’s own Dao to dominate the Dao of heaven and earth, to imprison the Heavenly Dao, leaving it with no abilities.

Under the Heavenly Dao, all are insects! Under the Heavenly Dao, even all Fist Intents began to collapse!

This was an overbearingly invincible Sword Dao, turning the miraculous into the decayed, terrifying to the extreme.

All of Zhou Yan’s abilities were suppressed, his heart chilled, and for the first time, he became solemn.

This was the true formidable enemy he had faced in his life, since achieving Great Perfection with the Twelve Sword Spirits, Zhou Yan had also comprehended the Path of Incompletion and delved deep into understanding the Heart of Nature... At that time, Zhou Yan had already felt that below the Void Realm, he was invincible.

But unexpectedly, there were people who could cultivate the Realm below the Void to such an extent that they seized the Sovereign power!

This was somewhat horrifying!

Although he had long known such abilities existed, and his Master’s memories had seen such Dao, this Dao, even in his Master’s memory, was extraordinary.

Zhou Yan had never thought Ji Tianxu could master this Dao.

But since Ji Tianxu had mastered it, this indicated one thing—the likelihood of Ji Tianxu being the heir to the Evil King was very high, and the previous conjectures were also proven!

"Worthy of the Evil King’s inheritance, possessing inconceivable abilities, actually capable of making rules submit, affecting the Heavenly Dao, and temporarily nullifying the strength of others, turning them into insects!

But if you think this alone can deal with me, that is far too naive!"

Zhou Yan spoke, and from his brow suddenly flew a set of pitch-black Combat Armor, and a pitch-black long sword.

Soul-level Battle Armor—Spirit Lotus Green Lotus Armor!

Soul-level Long Sword—Green Lotus Broken Worry Sword!

With these two Soul Devices equipped, there came a powerful surge in energy.

At this point, Zhou Yan could no longer afford to hold back, for a moment’s carelessness would mean the destruction of the Split Body!

The death of the Split Body wasn’t important, but if he died here, the Mingxin Mirror would not be easy to obtain, and subsequent plans could not be executed.

Thus, Zhou Yan deployed the Soul-level Combat Armor and Long Sword.

He had never used these two Soul Devices since forging them.

This time, he activated both Soul Devices simultaneously, all stimulated by the power of his Bloodline, pushing his combat force to a terrifying peak!

The Twelve Sword Spirits all evolved, and Zhou Yan transformed into a battle form—his human form, but his body flickered with totems like those of a War God.

The Twelve Sword Spirits, like tattoos on his chest, flickered with strange lights.

"Soul Extinguishing Sword Intent, Sorrow-breaking Sword Intent, Lonely Sword Intent, Worry-free Sword Intent!"

"Heart of Nature!"

"The unity of Form Intent and the Twelve Spirit Sword Techniques!"

Almost simultaneously, Zhou Yan released all his techniques.

Following those thousands of Fist Intents, an invincible energy, a spirit of unrivaled power, once again manifested.

Heaven and earth seemed to have been pierced, the ground cracked open with black crevices, which instantly turned into abysses.

The Cultivators who were originally not far away had retreated hundreds of miles, and yet they continued to retreat occasionally.

Because this was a battle of annihilation, due to the environmental lack of constraints and absence of suppression by the Heavenly Dao here, such combat force was at least at the level of Void Five.

This was a fight that horrified and disillusioned, with upheavals so great, the sun and moon lost their light!

"Boom!"

Boundless killing intent burst forth as Zhou Yan transformed into a beam of Sword Light, becoming one with the sword, one with the Sword Spirit, and suddenly launched an attack.

Ji Tianxu was also extremely solemn, casting consecutive swords that seemed insignificant as the life of ants, continuously striking out. In an instant, the two fighters clashed head-on thousands of times.

They danced in the Void, scattering many twisted spaces, flying horizontally out of an ancient land, battling their way to another desolate place.

Chaos reigned between heaven and earth, the sun and moon lost their luster, and the ground was turned into ruins. Bones that had been silent for millions of years danced in the sky, turning into bone powder floating between heaven and earth.

Darkness covered the sky and the earth, enveloping all in a gloomy haze.

Waves of energy surged like tsunamis, terrifying to behold. Whoever touched them would surely be turned into bone dust.

This region was devastated into ruins. These ruins were then blasted into an abyss.

The earth shook violently, as if experiencing a ferocious earthquake, with the ground constantly exploding and the Void continuously warping.

"Boom!"

Suddenly, a piece of rubble as large as a mountain was blasted into the air by the force of energy, caught by Ji Tianxu, who shook it forcefully, turning it into a mass of refined metal the size of a washbasin and hurled it towards Zhou Yan.

Despite being only the size of a washbasin, as it hurtled through the Void, it carried the power to oppress heaven and earth, causing the very fabric of the universe to tremble as it flew.

As the refined stone flew towards him, Zhou Yan expelled a breath of Canglong Breath, a flame like purple Thunder Fire, which instantly struck the refined stone, turning it into a torrent.

With a pull of his hands, Zhou Yan shaped the torrent into a sword, striking back with invincible momentum and even greater ferocity.

"Boom!"

A violent explosion that seemed to destroy heaven and earth resounded as the sword collided with the Blood Sword, causing a severe blast.

Beneath the Void, a hillock about seven or eight meters tall was instantly uprooted, reduced to dust.

Endless rocks and dust soared into the Void, where chaotic smoke and energy surged upwards again, forming a mushroom cloud.

Zhou Yan and Ji Tianxu’s battle escalated intensely, both entering a fierce state, their moves earth-shattering and astonishing.

Not far away, some Outer Realm Cultivators flew over, watching from a distance.

Upon witnessing their Cultivation and aura, they all changed color, not daring to watch any longer, they turned tail and ran.

...

"Fuck! How could the natives of Sword Burial Ancestor Star be so strong! This... there’s even one at the Sword Spirit Three Heavens," exclaimed a Cultivator, eyes nearly popping out, doubting what they saw.

"That’s the Emperor Qi Sword Body! The famous Zhou Yan Spirit, of course, he’s formidable!" another Cultivator explained.

There was a sharp intake of breath as one Cultivator’s pride was immediately subdued.

"The Cultivators of Sword Burial Ancestor Star are indeed terrifying. No wonder the Ancestor of our clan warned me to keep a low profile here. I finally understand," said a genius Cultivator with a sigh.

"Before, I encountered a Spiritualist named ’Li Wuxian.’ I saw him kill three Sword Souls Three Heavens cultivators in an instant; those slain were Skyfire Lineage True Spirit Level geniuses!"

"There was an Eternal Spirit who with a single Sword Qi, instantly killed five Sword Soul Three Heavens True Spirit Level geniuses! Those he killed were Heavenly Vein Clan True Spirit Level geniuses!"

"It seems we need to restrain ourselves. These natives are too abnormal! Simply unimaginable!"

"Oh no, they’re fighting their way here, ah, run, run fast! Ahh—"

That moment, the Cultivators who were still discussing were suddenly crying out in horror.

But that Cultivator didn’t escape, as a stray Sword Intent, like a venomous snake’s signal, instantly pierced through the Outer Realm Cultivator’s head.

His body immediately disintegrated into dust, not even having the chance to twitch!

The other Outer Realm Cultivators turned pale, utterly shocked, and dared not speak further, fleeing for their lives.

What a disparity! That is the disparity!

The more grueling the tribulations, the more destitute and harsh the Cultivation environment, the more invincible warriors it breeds! Unless no geniuses emerge from such a place, but once a genius does, they will be extraordinarily terrifying!

The battle between Zhou Yan and Ji Tianxu had just begun and already intimidated most of the arrogantly superior Outer Realm Cultivators.

It was something everyone had not anticipated.

...

"Heavenly Sword Eye, reflect on reincarnation! Die!" Ji Tianxu roared, his eyes shooting out beams of Blood Light.

Instantly, Ji Tianxu’s Attack Power reached an unimaginably terrifying level.

With this move, Zhou Yan clearly felt that it could absolutely injure him, but that was not what alarmed him.

What truly shocked Zhou Yan was that at this moment, Ji Tianxu had forsaken defense against Zhou Yan’s powerful Sword Spirit strike, launching this move instead.

Zhou Yan’s Sword Spirit Dao, with its invincible sword, had already fiercely penetrated Ji Tianxu’s body.

At the same time, Ji Tianxu had thrust the Blood Light from the Heavenly Sword Eye into Zhou Yan’s body.

Ji Tianxu’s body split apart, his blood and intestines were likewise shattered, as if he had been blown to pieces.

But Zhou Yan likewise sustained a Destructive Strike.

After the strike hit the Split Body, Zhou Yan felt that it couldn’t withstand it any longer, splitting apart, then his body like dust, rapidly shattered, blood and organs turning to dust and violently exploding.

"Undying Rebirth Technique!"

"Undying Rebirth Technique!"

In that instant, both executed the Undying Rebirth Technique almost simultaneously, both recovering to their original state.

Afterward, both remained suspended in the Void, looking at each other with a mix of disbelief and deep wariness.
