Chapter 318: Chapter 185: The Invincible Belief _2

White Fox Bai Ying explained carefully.

"...Alright, I understand. You say Emperor Qi Sword Body is the best in the world, but what about ’Void Thunderflame Emperor Sword Dao Body’? What kind of constitution is that?"

Zhou Yan hesitated slightly and asked.

He thought about the words Yanyan had muttered to himself.

"Hmm? It’s impossible for there to be more than one compound physique in the world. The one you’re talking about, which combines the Void Sword Body, Thunderflame Sword Body, Emperor Qi Sword Body, and Tao Sword Body into one, is simply not possible. Each of these Sword Bodies is an ancient lost Sword Body. There are very few in the world who possess such a Sword Body, how could they possibly merge into one?"

White Fox Bai Ying asked Zhou Yan with some surprise.

Zhou Yan’s heart skipped a beat, but he casually smiled and said, "Oh, I was just asking out of curiosity. You said that the Emperor Qi Sword Body is the best in the world, so I was wondering, if such a Sword Body existed, would it surpass the Emperor Qi Sword Body?"

"If such a thing really existed, that being wouldn’t survive. You are an Emperor Qi Sword Body, and you know how difficult your path of growth is. To stack four layers is simply to guarantee a life of suffering, or to be born as useless, without any talent whatsoever. You should understand the principle of ’extremes meet.’"

White Fox Bai Ying thought seriously for a moment and explained solemnly.

Zhou Yan’s mood suddenly became a bit oppressive, and he quickly changed the subject, "Let’s not talk about that. Let’s talk about your lightning tribulation this time. Although I know that taking it on for you will cause anomalies, I still want to try. Trust me, I’m 90 percent sure I can withstand this tribulation."

Zhou Yan stated with confidence.

At this moment, Zhou Yan was somewhat certain that the scene he had seen of Yanyan being burned by flames was real, not illusory.

There were three things he could judge from this.

First, the fact that he had held White Fox and used the Purple Flame Void to avoid the heavenly tribulation was true!

Second, before this supposed ’illusion,’ he only felt fear towards the Tribulation Lightning. But after the ’illusion,’ he felt a strange affinity towards the lightning tribulation.

Third, the earlier conversation about constitution!

These three points seemed inconclusive, but in fact, they were very important.

As for White Fox Bai Ying.

White Fox’s realm surely couldn’t surpass that of his master or Yao. Therefore, it definitely wouldn’t have seen what happened inside the Purple Flame Void.

So, what it referred to as an ’illusion’ might not be an ’illusion’ at all. It’s possible that what it saw was different from what Zhou Yan saw.

Because from beginning to end, White Fox Bai Ying had no knowledge of the existence of the Purple Flame Void, even when Zhou Yan opened and closed it several times in front of it, it couldn’t feel anything.

That was the real key.

Therefore, at this time Zhou Yan was even more worried, but he no longer feared the lightning tribulation, because he knew what Yanyan’s source was.

Because Zhou Yan realized deeply that inside his own soul, there was a part of the Void Thunderflame’s aura.

Void Thunderflame, which could even kill a powerful being like his master, could perhaps destroy his body, but it would never harm his soul!

In the Sword Soul Realm, the soul is indestructible, therefore immortal!

So, there was nothing to worry about.

Zhou Yan’s brain possessed various calculation abilities, and his calculations in all aspects were incredibly precise to an extreme extent, these would naturally lead to a very high probability of success.

Therefore, when he said this, he had already had a great deal of confidence.

Indeed, seeing Zhou Yan so sure, White Fox didn’t refuse either. It just looked deeply at Zhou Yan and then nodded, saying, "If you insist, there’s no harm in trying, but if you can’t hold on, I will also take action to help you bear it.

However, at that time, you should escape quickly, because I won’t be able to withstand the lightning tribulation you drew, and I might completely dissipate from forcibly enduring it.

You still have your own lover to find, so cherish your life and don’t let your emotions cloud your judgment."

White Fox still spoke gently.

Its gentle nature was indeed very likable.

Even though its voice was neutral, it still felt very comfortable from the bottom of one’s heart.

"Sure, rest assured, trust me! I, Zhou Yan, never engage in anything without certainty. This time, I’m doing this to verify something," Zhou Yan said confidently.

White Fox Bai Ying admired Zhou Yan’s confidence; her bright eyes shone with a hint of appreciation. She slightly smiled and said, "Emperor Qi Sword Body indeed possesses unimaginable potential.

You are merely at the Sword Soul First Layer Heaven, and your Sword Soul hasn’t fully condensed; yet, your combat power is already not inferior to that of a genius cultivator who’s reached the Sword Void. Give it a try, let me also witness the elegance of the Emperor Qi Sword Body in this era."

"So, perhaps I can die with content."

At this moment, White Fox Bai Ying became somewhat expectant. She saw conviction in Zhou Yan’s eyes.

An invincible conviction!

Anyone with such beliefs is bound to possess terrifying achievements and strength.

Such a person would definitely not do anything without assurance.

Zhou Yan also gave another glance to White Fox Bai Ying; being in her presence felt entirely different from being around other people. It was a mysteriously relaxed mood, comfortably content, devoid of any scheming or calculating so his spirit was more at ease.

However, now was not the time for extensive conversations. Zhou Yan looked at the Void Thunder Tribulation, observed the vast forces of the thunder, saw the distant, vividly colored arrays of light beams; then all of a sudden, he fully triggered the Purple Flame Void.

At the same time, Zhou Yan mobilized all his blood qi, releasing the Three Sword Souls and Nine Sword Spirits, roaring into the void, challenging the thunder!

Sure enough, after a moment of silence, the celestial thunder went mad and struck with unparalleled fury.

Even White Fox Bai Ying was moved by the sight.

When she looked at Zhou Yan again, shock was evident in her eyes; she had not expected this seemingly weak cultivator by her side to be so crazed and fearsome!

"Is this the invincible poise of the Emperor Qi Sword Body in its early stage? Roaring against the thunder and standing proud between heaven and earth with just the nascent Sword Soul Realm."

White Fox Bai Ying murmured to herself, her voice becoming instinctively more feminine and pleasing to the ear.

But her voice was so soft that even Zhou Yan couldn’t hear it.

Perhaps White Fox Bai Ying herself had blocked out the sound so that Zhou Yan wouldn’t know.

...

"Boom!"

The thunder exploded, and the heaven and earth roared.

In the further reaches of the universe, it seemed several figures instantly turned into Tribulation Ash, dead on the spot.

Zhou Yan’s face changed, and his facial muscles twitched as he muttered to himself somewhat sheepishly, "I wonder which cultivator attempting their tribulation got involved and instantly turned into ash. Shameful, shameful."

"Eight cultivators in the Life Tribulation Realm have died, but this is a good thing. These people were rather vicious and if they hadn’t died, they might have come to kill our demon beast lineage and take our Life Souls to replenish themselves. So don’t feel burdened."

White Fox Bai Ying looked at the void and then cast a strange glance at Zhou Yan, carefully explaining.

Zhou Yan was shocked to hear this, thinking these cultivators truly deserved their bad luck.

However, at that moment, Zhou Yan thought of a strategy—if in the future, one were to undertake their tribulation at the sect of their enemy, wouldn’t a single tribulation be enough to annihilate a city? Wouldn’t that be as easy as pulling weeds, exceptionally thrilling and satisfying?

At this time, as the thunder struck, Zhou Yan’s attention inadvertently divided.

The instant he was distracted, endless ferocious Tribulation Lightning bombarded him.

The terrifying thunder, the multifarious light beams, merged once more. The sensation of a Demon God awakening, oppressive and intense, shocked the distracted Zhou Yan back to alertness.

All around the world, it was as if the apocalypse had arrived, plunging everything into darkness, thunder roaring and rolling like fierce dragons, clouds piling upon clouds, and tremendous suction forces becoming more violent.

All this should have entered the Purple Flame Void, but the Purple Flame Void underwent no further change!

The endless thunder and residual images of the colored beams twisted again; shattering the sky dome, they bypassed the Purple Flame Void as if it didn’t exist and struck Zhou Yan...
