Chapter 329: Chapter 194 Open the Inheritance

"Alright, what do you need me to do?" White Fox asked.

"This is a Middle Grade Soul Device Battle Armor, and this is a Middle Grade Soul Device Sword. I am unable to unleash their full potential and need your help with this task.

At the moment of opening the inheritance, I will unleash a powerful Soul Shock to immobilize that Old Monster, and you will need to strike with all your might in that instant. Can you do that?"

"That should be no problem, but if it really is that dangerous, what about your safety?" White Fox asked with concern.

"I have my ways. Right now, the problem is this woman, Zi Chen. I’m worried she might mess things up."

"After we get out, let her leave first... That might not work either, as the strong beings behind the inheritance might notice something."

White Fox Bai Ying began to ponder.

"Let’s do this, I’ll just warn her that opening the inheritance could be dangerous and to be cautious. This woman is proud and lofty, but she isn’t foolish. If I suppress her arrogance a bit, she’ll behave."

"Well... okay, but she’s already quite miserable, don’t hurt her any further," White Fox said helplessly.

"Don’t worry."

Zhou Yan’s eyes displayed an immense confidence, and then he spoke again, "I will simulate the scenario here, and we’ll rehearse it once.

Before that, I need to teach you a sword technique—Vitality Sword Dao."

"Is my cultivation technique not enough?"

White Fox was somewhat surprised.

"It might be a bit forced. Take a look at the secret technique of this sword move first—the ’Vitality Ant Sword Dao’; looking down on all living things, with me, invincible."

Zhou Yan displayed the Sword Dao Profound Meaning of that ’King’ from the Spiritual Lotus Secret Realm.

Originally calm, White Fox trembled when she heard the name and saw the Sword Intent Zhou Yan derived.

Surprise was evident in her eyes.

But she quickly restrained herself, not showing her surprise.

However, Zhou Yan still sensed it, because here in the Purple Flame Void, Zhou Yan was the Sovereign.

"I understand this sword technique, and moreover... I have learned it more deeply than you,"

White Fox thought for a moment, then decided to be honest.

"Huh? Where did you learn it?"

Zhou Yan was taken aback.

"This sword technique was from a complete volume my master learned by mistake at Thunder Flame Breaking Path Mountain before he became famous. My master was the first cultivator to practice this technique. Alas... it was also because of this technique that my master... fell. The person who killed him was a powerful cultivator named ’Ji Xie.’

But, this happened a long time ago. I have been cultivating here, having already lost track of time.

The Power of Time here is chaotic. After more than a year, the measure of time becomes lost and unrecognizable.

So, I cannot determine exactly how long it has been."

The words spoken by White Fox Bai Ying also somewhat shocked Zhou Yan.

This world is both vast and small.

Just never thought, to have such connections here.

This ’Ji Xie’ is likely, eight or nine out of ten, the Evil King.

Of course, it might not be him, and could just share the same name.

But the Vitality Ant Sword Dao obviously came from Thunder Flame Breaking Path Mountain, or it wouldn’t be possible to unleash unmatched capabilities here.

Because he knew the great advantages of this sword technique here, Zhou Yan had planned to teach White Fox to learn this sword technique, but did not expect White Fox already to know it.

"I know this sword technique because I saw some people use it and figured it out myself. Since you also know it, that’s even better.

Then I’ll directly tell you how to use the Soul-level Battle Armor and the sword."

Zhou Yan taught Bai Ying the functionality and use, along with the methods to unleash its extreme capabilities of the Spiritual Lotus Green Lotus Armor and Green Lotus Broken Worry Sword, then he started rehearsing with White Fox.

...

Secret Land of the cave.

The runes on the screen gradually dimmed.

Zhou Yan and Bai Ying stood hand in hand, a milky-white Thunder Flame Soul Liquid gradually penetrated into Bai Ying’s soul, as if it were completely absorbed.

For a long time, Zhou Yan came back to his senses, let go of White Fox’s hand, then looked at Zi Chen who was staring fiercely at him.

"What do you want to do?"

Faced with Zhou Yan’s aggressive gaze, Zi Chen was quite wary.

Zhou Yan did not answer, but suddenly his eyes flickered with a terrifying Life and Death Sword Intent, and in an instant, Zi Chen was stricken.

"You’re dead!"

Zhou Yan said calmly.

Zi Chen’s originally spirited eyes slowly dimmed, gradually losing their luster.

Not only that, but her pupils even dilated, completely devoid of any vitality.

Zi Chen had almost perished at Zhou Yan’s mere words.

Beside Zhou Yan, White Fox Bai Ying was very shocked, also somewhat doubtful, her beautiful eyes staring straight ahead.

Just then, she momentarily became concerned about Zi Chen.

"Don’t worry, it’s over now."

Zhou Yan gave Bai Ying a slight smile, then gathered a fierce spirit and sent a harsh Soul Shock directly towards Zi Chen.

Zi Chen, who had fallen into the deathly state of mind, suddenly woke up completely drenched in a cold sweat.

She immediately remembered everything from before, and upon seeing Zhou Yan rescuing her again, she didn’t feel relieved; instead, she found Zhou Yan to be extremely terrifying.

She couldn’t understand what Zhou Yan wanted to accomplish, which made her all the more wary of him.

"What... what are you trying to do?"

Zi Chen gasped in a chill of air, only at this moment realizing that this odd youth of the Sword Soul First Layer Heaven’s power was unfathomably deep and terrifying to the extreme.

"I just want to tell you that chaos and peril may arise when the inheritance opens soon — not to scare you, but just beware and don’t act recklessly.

Out of regard for Bai Ying, I’m giving you a heads-up. If you don’t listen, you’ll indeed find yourself beyond salvation, living a fate worse than death.

If you behave, and after things are sorted, if I receive the inheritance, saving you won’t be difficult."

Zhou Yan spoke in a condescending tone.

This was the exact tone the woman before him was adept at using. Zhou Yan had no intentions of revenge, but since she had previously spoken to him in this manner, he naturally responded in kind.

"You... alright, I won’t act recklessly, you can count on that. I hope you keep your word."

Zi Chen’s delicate body trembled. If Zhou Yan had spoken to her in this manner before, she would have surely shown him her fierceness.

But now, having narrowly escaped death due to a Soul Attack from Zhou Yan, followed by being saved by him, his words seemed only too normal to Zi Chen, and she didn’t feel humiliated at all.

Strange, indeed, was this sensation.

While Zi Chen was still pondering over Zhou Yan’s words, Zhou Yan had stopped paying her any attention.

If she were to ruin things anyway, it would be her own death-seeking, and none could be blamed.

After handling this matter, Zhou Yan then turned his focus to the Runes, proceeding further along his path.

"Very well, now, I can sense you’ve completed this step, so the reward I give you will be to enhance your Cultivation.

There will be a feedback of Origin Energy’s essence soon, and a drop of ancient Bloodline will descend; these, although initially provided by you, have since been transformed and strengthened.

From these, you can comprehend the Secret Techniques of the ’Void Ancient Scripture’ and inherit profound fortunes."

These messages were conveyed through the Runes on the light screen.

Then, a stream of Origin Power and a Bloodline crystal flew out, entering Zhou Yan’s forehead.

Zhou Yan did not resist, allowing the Origin Power and the Blood Essence to enter his brow.

In that moment, when his body was constrained, Zhou Yan immediately contracted the Purple Flame Void, using the Purple Flames to utterly refine and burn the Origin Power and Blood Essence.

At the same time, Zhou Yan’s entire body erupted with vitality, combining both the Lonely Sword Intent and the Life and Death Sword Intent, launching them fiercely!

"Boom!"

The light screen suddenly underwent a twisted transformation, all the ancient Runes disappearing, transforming into an endless torrent of furious energy.

Within this energy, a bat-like dark figure suddenly flew out.

This shadow carried an overwhelming immense aura, truly earth-shattering.

However, just as the shadow burst forth, it was squarely hit by the formidable Life and Death and Lonely Sword Intents.

Even such a mighty figure was slightly hindered by the sudden strike.

It was also in this moment that the Purple Flame had already refined the Origin Energy and that piece of Blood Essence.

Within the Origin Energy and Blood Essence, a half-phantom of a Soul emerged which was similarly bat-like, emitting a heart-wrenching scream, but it too was helpless to struggle.

Purple Flame’s destruction capability against the Soul was something no Cultivator could escape.

The phantom could not evade and in just a blink, it was reduced to Tribulation Ash, disappearing without a trace.

Within the Purple Flame, a massive array of Runes appeared, which were the complete Runes of the true ’Void Ancient Scripture.’

All this occurred simultaneously.

Originally, Zhou Yan’s Lonely Sword Intent and Life and Death Sword Intent were indeed mighty but would not have subdued such an unknown powerful enemy; however, since the Purple Flame has obliterated the enemy’s last resort, it became a catastrophic blow for him.

Thus, the Lonely Sword Intent and Life and Death Sword Intent showed immediate effect; this was Zhou Yan’s planned strategy.

In this strong enemy’s view, Zhou Yan, merely at the Sword Soul First Layer Heaven, even if formidable, would have no means of destroying the Origin Energy nor the Blood Essence.

And the ’Thunder Flame Soul Liquid’ had already entered White Fox’s body, essentially controlling White Fox and preventing them from taking action.

But in reality, the Thunder Flame Soul Liquid had also entered the Purple Flame Void, being simultaneously melted by the Purple Flame.

Having truly contacted the real Thunder Flame Soul Liquid before, Zhou Yan knew that this so-called ’Thunder Flame Soul Liquid’ was merely superficial and fake, therefore in the Purple Flame Void, Zhou Yan switched it as well.

Through the unique realm of the Purple Flame Void, Zhou Yan and White Fox devised a scheme, aiming to slay this unknown powerful opponent.

During the moment this powerful figure was immobilized, White Fox took action.

This strike, truly demonstrating the power of a genuine mighty being, was combined with the might of two Soul Devices with the Broken Worry Sword, wielding the sword in a way that seemed to defy heaven and terrify demons, boundlessly tremendous.

"Puff—"

"You fool, you seek death! Ah—"

In the Void, a violently furious roar suddenly emerged, but the sound had only started when it abruptly ceased!

No anomaly occurred; with White Fox’s earth-shattering strike, the dark figure was directly slashed into dust, piercing through the Void!

"Rumble—"

Simultaneously, massive Purple Flames suddenly enveloped the space around, burning intensely, completely blocking any escape routes.

Thus, with their combined efforts, the two almost instantly obliterated the dark figure!
