Chapter 344: Chapter 209: The Sky Is Pierced!

This punch had the power to shatter everything in its path!

As the projection of that great power appeared, Zhou Yan’s fist had already directly struck Gong Yu.

"Arrogant! Seeking death!"

That aged figure condensed slightly, his voice carrying towering fury as he fiercely poked a finger towards Zhou Yan!

This finger alone obliterated everything around them, but his speed was fast, Zhou Yan’s speed was faster.

"Boom!"

The explosive Fist Intent directly struck Gong Yu, whose body was already like a lump of disordered flesh, exploded again, and his already frail soul was directly shattered by the explosive Fist Intent.

"Ah—"

Gong Yu let out a horrific scream as his soul shattered bit by bit.

But this shattered soul did not disappear; instead, it was swept into the Purple Flame Void by an endless eerie blood-red energy, where an unknown devouring occurred, eventually transforming into streams of extremely pure Soul Energy, which gradually fused into Zhou Yan’s body.

All of this seemed slow, yet it had been completed in the instant Zhou Yan’s punch was thrown.

As a result, Zhou Yan’s soul suddenly underwent a terrifying transformation and became even stronger, having inexplicably devoured all of Gong Yu’s soul!

Gong Yu was a genius of the Heavenly Demon Clan at the True Spirit Level, and a genius at the peak of the Great Perfection Realm of the Sword Soul Three Heavens with Three Souls and Seven Spirits!

The soul of such a genius, so formidable and invincible, was utterly shattered and devoured in one fell swoop, not escaping or fading away through transformation, which was unimaginable.

No one witnessed this scene; all the surviving cultivators thought Gong Yu had completely dissipated.

Even that aged apparition thought Gong Yu had been completely obliterated, not knowing that he had actually been devoured.

The finger of that great aged apparition slowed for a moment, and as Zhou Yan’s soul completed its transformation in an instant, his attack came rushing, only to be met by Zhou Yan’s finger as well.

Zhou Yan’s finger resembled that of Yanyan when he first appeared in the Despair Abyss from the Purple Flame Void.

With a single poke, the Purple Flame Void derived a terrifying black hole, within which the Thunder Seal constantly flickered, emitting a dreadful devouring force.

At that moment, the invincible elder’s finger was completely devoured by the black hole along with all its energy, followed by a flash of Blood Light, and another drop of blood instantly condensed, appearing above Zhou Yan’s head, and dropping into his mind.

Zhou Yan shuddered, the world before his eyes a sea of blood; he seemed to have forgotten many things, yet seemed to remember even more.

In his eyes, the world had changed, become different, filled with blood everywhere, killing intent everywhere, hatred everywhere, and the Heartless Dao everywhere.

Only by being more ruthless, only by being more unscrupulous, could one survive.

As long as he survived, all beings with killing intent must die.

In Zhou Yan’s heart, there was no self, only this—one mark, or rather—only such an obsession.

He had never felt his will as clear as it was now, his memory vague, but what he clung to was just one belief—to kill all life that carried hatred and malicious killing intent!

This was his obsession; everything else had disappeared, only this obsession roiled like an eternal presence in his heart.

"Sss—"

Space twisted, exploded.

At this moment, his combat power was unimaginable, endlessly transcendent, reaching an incredible level, but no one knew why.

Zhou Yan thwarted the lethal attack of that massive old apparition with one move!

"You little rat, this saint will make you die!"

That voice roared like thunder, shocking the world!

He exhaled in one breath, like a signal smoke shooting into the sky, destroying heaven and earth.

But at that moment, a terrible aura emerged as if a Divine being was about to awaken; suddenly, the entire Heaven and Earth trembled.

At that instant, the Sky-opening Axe, which belonged to the deceased Gong Yu, suddenly flew into the hands of an elderly void shadow, followed by a terrifying aura that permeated the air.

The smokescreen of energy instantly fixed Zhou Yan in place but was once again devoured by a black hole derived from Zhou Yan’s Thunder Seal, rendering the locking ineffective!

Another drop of blood appeared atop Zhou Yan’s head, dripping into his brain; his body suddenly inflated again, growing slightly larger.

His body, like Gong Yu’s, saw muscles rising like blocks of iron, exuding an unsettling energy that was extremely terrifying.

Not only that, but a purple Lotus flower suddenly sprouted in the palm of Zhou Yan’s hands, burning provocatively, flickering uncertainly in and out of visibility.

His body felt immensely heavy, as though millions of pounds weighed upon him, causing his waist to involuntarily hunch over. Yet his arms dangled oddly, with terrifying purple flames blooming in each palm, continually pulsating.

His body, bathed in a dazzingly vivid Blood Light, looked as if an unparalleled Evil Deity had descended.

He gasped for air, each breath he exhaled was blood-red.

Each breath seemed like a stream of blood burning the soul, bright and tempting.

It was a terrifying state, any cultivator who even glanced at Zhou Yan’s condition would fall into a soul-deep terror.

"This is..."

Some reclusive figures emerged, standing at a distance, their eyes revealing indescribable shock.

Then, they silently retreated.

"Has that person’s inheritance appeared?"

"It looks like it has."

"Evil King, who really is the inheritor of the Evil King?"

"What is the Evil King considered? There are three thousand Evil Eyes, a thousand Evil Emperors."

"I wonder if this ancient awakening is merely a cultivation technique inheritance? Or perhaps it’s just something similar..."

...

Some reclusive ancient cultivators were awakened by the power of that aged void shadow’s finger and could not help but exclaim in amazement upon seeing this scene.

More cultivators silently retreated even further, concealing all traces of their energy, hoping to avoid being involved.

In the sky, Zhou Yan’s Purple Flame collided with the Sky-opening Axe, and it was just slightly at a disadvantage.

The two Purple Flames in the Void burned ancient Runes, which assembled into a Deceiving Heaven Array Pattern, fool the eyes and overcoming realm suppression.

Thus, Zhou Yan’s combat power could rise endlessly, showing a fearsome potential.

"You little bastard, even if you have the Supreme Dao inheritance, even if you have an Ancient Saint behind you, I will still slay you here to avenge my grandson!"

That aged voice, having failed to strike several times, roared like thunder, finally triggering the terrifying killing intent of the Sky-opening Axe.

With this killing intent released, the ’Divine’ that had awakened had its aura intensified even more.

Finally, the earth stopped shaking, and suddenly, a terrifying aura swept across Heaven and Earth, aimed not at the elderly man but at Zhou Yan!

"Buzz—"

The Heaven and Earth exploded, a terrifying energy underwent an unimaginable reversal, a world-shocking energy brutally suppressed everything below, Zhou Yan’s body, as if struck by lightning, shattered into a pool of vivid, striking blood.

The Purple Flame on his arms suddenly converged like a provocative flower, retracting into a bud about to bloom. Then, the streaming vivid blood in the Void gradually started to move, finally combining into a figure of blood, turning into a beam of Blood Light, condensing a figure. Soon, a solid Fist Intent appeared in the hands of this figure, which then ferociously struck out at the Void.

"Boom Crack—"

The sky was pierced!

A terrifying gash tore open at the edge of the sky, and through that gash, a figure in white was directly smashed into pieces by that punch!
