Chapter 343: Chapter 208: Abnormal Blood

In this control of the sword by the Sword Spirit, Zhou Yan’s body and heart harmonized with the Dao, his expression extremely solemn.

The Heart of Nature derived, endless Sword Intent fused with the Soul, the Soul manifested and likewise expanded countless times, like a fury of the Soul.

The Soul formed into a Sword-shaped Soul, all the energy converging together, the Broken Worry Sword under such endless enhancement, also became extremely large.

It quietly stood in the Void, tranquil and serene.

The silver-white sword body, simple and natural, with no hint of killing intent, emitted an imperial momentum of the Supreme Dao, Supreme of Heaven and Earth, and yet there was also an uncanny feeling of the Dao Technique of Nature.

It was as if, this sword, and the Dao of this realm, had all fused together.

On Gong Yu’s body, his muscles puffed up in clusters and rows, clearly defined and somewhat exaggerated.

His combat armor shattered, revealing a powerful physical body, within those ancient bronze-colored muscles was an energy about to explode.

This was a True Spirit Level genius of the Heavenly Demon Clan with an incredibly strong physical body, who also possessed a terrifying weapon.

His head full of wild and disheveled black hair, with an innate wildness, the dark axe in his hand emitted a dreadful aura that filled the sky, as he took steps in the Void, advancing towards Zhou Yan to strike him down.

With a shake of the Sky-opening Axe, the Void twisted into a tangled mess, endless energy devoured in its entirety, within tens of thousands of meters, turning directly into a vacuum. This vacuum then got distorted and mixed together by an unmatched strength, erupting directly with that axe strike.

This axe strike had no fancy moves, it was just a straightforward chop, like a shadowy afterimage, the axe had already descended in the time it took to exert force.

...

Zhou Yan stood quietly in the Void, his sword in front as if it had become one with his Soul.

At the moment the axe fell, he suddenly moved.

His hand, slow yet swift, seemed to merge with time and space, capturing that sword.

His hand, like releasing a slow-motion effect, gradually pulled out a trailing shadow, very slow, yet extremely fast, unleashing a slash!

"True·Three Xingyi Sword Souls Technique!"

Incorporating myriad Totems, a hundred thousand Ancient Demon Beast Essence Blood, the twelve zodiac ancient stars Sword Arrays, and the aura of the Soul, this Xingyi Sword Technique was the strongest strike among all Sword Dao—because this was the three-in-one technique of the Three Xingyi Sword Souls!

The fusion of the three Sword Souls, the three major Xingyi Swordsmanship merged into one, igniting with incomparably majestic energy, executed.

This fusion of swordsmanship was also Zhou Yan’s first time executing it; after significant progress in all aspects, he finally released his strongest strike that belonged to himself!

"Boom!"

With an explosive aura, a ferocious killing intent surged from above, and Heaven and Earth were directly broken!

The realm shattered, pitch-black chaos spewed forth, sweeping the Heavenly Vault, the complexions of all the Cultivators changed drastically, their hearts shocked, their scalps numbed, and their backs chilled.

"Dang—"

An even louder sound clearly transmitted.

This was the sound of Zhou Yan, wielding the Broken Worry Sword, clashing hard with the Sky-opening Axe.

The Broken Worry Sword and the Sky-opening Axe both recoiled.

Gong Yu’s body, like a kite with its string cut, blood streaming all over, was flung backward.

His muscles burst apart, the enormous recoil force made him spout a fountain of blood into the Void, creating a bloody trail!

And Zhou Yan, his body also retreating explosively, his entire arm shaken by the vast energy, burst open, revealing the pale white bones.

Blood rained down like a shower.

But Zhou Yan, it was only his arm that had exploded, his body didn’t burst apart.

This terrifying collision caused a complicated situation, this huge commotion had long since caused part of the Zhou Family Cultivators to fly out from a distance to watch from afar.

"Ah—"

Gong Yu violently spewed out a mouthful of Essence Blood, stirring his Blood Qi, and struck again with unparalleled ferocity.

His combat armor shattered into smithereens, revealing his body which now returned to its usual towering height of over two meters.

But on him, there was an object over five feet long that resembled a monstrous snake, which at this moment suddenly raised its head; within the furiously fierce eyes of that creature, a terrifying murderous intent erupted.

"Hmm?"

Zhou Yan’s heart suddenly felt a terrifying suffocation, a dread-inspiring demonic energy!

Almost without thinking, he clasped his hands in a seal, deriving an ancient array of runes that crossed the void—even though it was now impossible to traverse the void in the air, he could still manage instantaneous short-distance evasion!

"Whoosh—"

Zhou Yan’s body abruptly disappeared and reappeared a hundred meters away in another location the next instant.

In that moment, from the snake-like giant eye, a murderous beam was suddenly unleashed, penetrating the void and striking the very spot where Zhou Yan had just stood.

At that spot, with a ’crack,’ the void shattered again.

Black streams of chaotic void burst forth again, instantly devouring endless energy.

At the same time, Zhou Yan struck again, unleashing the Lonely Sword Intent and the Life and Death Sword Intent.

The terrifying Sword Intent exploded at the moment Gong Yu made his move, following which Zhou Yan once again concentrated the Xingyi Swordsmanship, bringing the swordsmanship derived from the Xingyi to its ultimate peak.

"Whoosh—"

With this strike, Gong Yu could not evade and was directly hit by Zhou Yan’s sword.

But before Zhou Yan could unleash his full power, Wu Yuan’s long-prepared Fist Intent suddenly attacked, and Emperor Kong’s blade also aimed at Zhou Yan from an unpredictable angle, completely locking onto him.

Zhou Yan’s sword suddenly exerted force, gritting his teeth to withstand the two attacks, which exploded violently, only to find that Gong Yu’s axe had suddenly flown out on its own, cleaving the Broken Worry Sword aside and autonomously guarding Gong Yu.

Nevertheless, Gong Yu’s entire right arm, from the shoulder, completely turned to dust.

"Ah—I refuse to believe that I, Gong Yu, cannot kill you today!"

Gong Yu pounded his chest with his single hand, tilting his head back and letting out a heaven-shaking roar.

At this time, Wu Yuan and Emperor Kong did not leave, but successively attacked Zhou Yan; the furious energy was once more collected by the black hole energy derived from the Purple Flame Void into its interior.

Then, this energy was pressed down by the Purple Flame Suppression within the Purple Flame Void.

Zhou Yan absorbed the energy back from the Purple Flame Void and turned to engage in a titanic struggle with Emperor Kong and Wu Yuan.

In the distance, what was once a wasteland had once more been crushed into ruins by the rampant energy, and a lake further away was struck dry, with mountains collapsing and heaven and earth almost breaking apart at times.

Zhou Yan’s murderous sword intent resounded with thousands of swords, the aura of the Emperor Qi permeated the void, piercing through the cloud peak.

Emperor Kong’s blade gleamed with absolute dominance over heaven and earth, and Wu Yuan’s immortal Fist Intent surged like mountains and seas; the two’s cooperation became more seamless, not falling behind at all.

This battle was chaotic and dark; it was also incredibly hard-fought.

"It’s time to end this!"

Gong Yu, holding the axe in his left hand, suddenly spoke in a low voice.

He looked up at Zhou Yan who was engaged in a fierce battle with Emperor Kong and Wu Yuan, then suddenly closed his eyes.

"Freeze!"

Gong Yu said, suddenly releasing a strand of ancient golden blood from his brow.

"Heavenly Ancient Path Fist, Stabilize the Void!" Wu Yuan suddenly became very solemn, unleashing a Fist Intent that was not his own.

"Ancestor Talisman, shake the universe again!"

At this moment, Emperor Kong, finally moved, once more issued an ancient talisman spell.

These were their real trump cards; they laid everything on the line, truly desperate to complete their mission by killing Zhou Yan.

"It’s over!"

"Zhou Yan is finished!"

"With three trump cards, even under realm suppression, he was sufficient to desperately fight an ancient genius of the Sixth Transformation Sword Void Realm. Zhou Yan’s realm is too low, it’s hopeless now!"

"Let’s go, no need to watch anymore."

"The Emperor Qi Sword Body, can it really create another miracle now?"

...

Every Cultivator couldn’t help but think.

At this moment, these three ancient attacks had suddenly reached Zhou Yan’s presence, just as swift as the previous Ancestor Talisman; he sensed it, yet he couldn’t resist.

The Fist Intent left by his Master was down to just four.

But Zhou Yan had no regrets, for there was no other choice.

The move from Gong Yu wasn’t the last; his final killing move was his own self-will on the Giant Axe, which he had activated.

Zhou Yan instantly retracted the Broken Worry Sword, his hands formed a fist, simple and unassuming with no aura whatsoever, and struck towards the three energy blasts.

A single Fist Intent, due to the endurance of the Three Sword Souls, could unleash three consecutive punches.

Zhou Yan held nothing back, directly unleashing three punches in quick succession.

These simple punches instantly shattered space.

These three punches, whose range was only as long as an arm’s reach,

Yet after these punches were thrown, directly in front of Zhou Yan’s fists was the shattered Void.

The Void, however, kept fragmenting forward because of the Immortal Fist Intent; it blasted apart continuously, instantly surging towards Emperor Kong, Wu Yuan, and Gong Yu.

Emperor Kong was caught off guard and swept up by the chaotic Void currents, suddenly turned into bloody light to break free, then disappeared.

It was unknown whether he was swept away by the currents or escaped using a blood escape technique.

Wu Yuan immediately made a decisive move, abandoning half of his body that was swept by the Void currents, like a shadow of a fist, vanishing into thin air.

Gong Yu, as the chaotic currents of the Void swept over, directly swung his axe.

A light swept away the chaos, a terrifying killing intent and malevolent aura followed the blasts of shattered currents, counterattacking upwards, slamming fiercely into Zhou Yan’s body.

Zhou Yan was already at his physical limit due to the Fist Intent; under this assault of malignant aura, his brain immediately plunged into chaos.

His will shattered as if asleep, deep memories in his mind awakened without reason.

Zhou Yan suddenly found himself in darkness, standing still where he was.

He closed his eyes, then suddenly opened them!

His eyes began to redden bit by bit.

In the Purple Flame Void, immense Blood Qi and Blood Light from among the Purple Flames suddenly flowed towards the Crystal Coffin containing Gu Xi, then flowed out from his body.

The spilling Blood Light converged steadily, eventually transforming into drops of fresh blood, suddenly falling from the air and drilling into Zhou Yan’s head.

Zhou Yan’s gaze changed, turning completely blood-red.

His body suddenly shattered, then instantly reassembled.

He transformed into a mountainous size; within the Purple Flame Void, a Thunder Seal appeared as a mark right between his eyebrows, clearly visible.

"Fist!"

He uttered a single word.

A Fist Intent suddenly arose, one punch landed on the Sky-opening Axe.

"Poof—"

The Sky-opening Axe was blown away explosively for thousands of miles.

Gong Yu coughed up blood.

He rushed forward fiercely, landing a heavy punch towards Zhou Yan’s head.

"Sword!"

Zhou Yan’s eyes flickered with red light, devoid of emotion, appearing incredibly sinister.

When he said sword, there was a sword in the Void.

This invisible sword suddenly shot out, piercing through Gong Yu’s chest and pinning him in the Void.

Gong Yu struggled violently, pulling out the sword and crushing it in one grip.

Dragging his spilling intestines and blood, he let out a furious roar, the Sky-opening Axe flew back, held aloft in his left hand.

He was determined to fight to the death with Zhou Yan!

"Fist!"

The blood-colored light danced in Zhou Yan’s eyes, his gaze cold and sinister.

The word "fist" brought forth an enormous Fist Intent between Heaven and Earth.

This punch, delivered without any forewarning,

"Bang!"

Gong Yu’s body was sent flying directly, turning into a heap of mangled flesh.

In the distance, a part of the Void collapsed and shattered.

Numerous native Cultivators and some Outer Realm Cultivators were collateral damage, annihilated by a single punch.

"Zhou Yan, have you lost your mind!"

"Zhou Lingzhe, you—"

...

Many voices of outrage and blame came one after another, non-stop.

"Sword!"

Zhou Yan turned, his icy gaze falling upon those Cultivators who had scolded him, and a word ’sword’ manifested.

In the midst of Heaven and Earth, countless Sword Arrays appeared.

Each was condensed from Sword Intent, suddenly appearing, suddenly killing, densely-packed native Cultivators were all slaughtered by this sword.

At that moment, silence fell between Heaven and Earth.

"Die!"

Zhou Yan turned his head, his gaze still pulsing with crimson light, completely devoid of self-awareness.

He was like a Walking Dead, yet his power had increased by millions of times.

He looked at Gong Yu, who had become a pile of mangled flesh but was not yet completely dead, and punched again.

"Stop!"

Within the Void, an ancient voice roared with anger!

Then, ancient Laws flashed, and an astral projection of an Elder emerged from the Void.

This was the remote intervention of a Great Power, an Outer Realm Ancestor’s remote projection!

Zhou Yan didn’t glance at the Great Power’s astral projection, he threw a punch, directly striking at Gong Yu!
