Chapter 839: Chapter 10: Immortal Evil Soul Sword Dao
Jiang Mingyue continuously watched Zhou Yan, observing the changes in his expression, seeming to care greatly about Zhou Yan’s true strength.
Although she wore a faint smile on her face, this smile was very cold, so cold it was chilling.
A combative gleam appeared in Jiang Mingyue’s eyes, and it seemed she had an impulse to challenge Zhou Yan, but it wasn’t until the aura energy emanating from Zhou Yan’s body suddenly elevated to a near venerable level did she realize that the premonition of Zhou Yan being her destined rival originated from this.
This feeling of being destined enemies was one of the primary reasons Jiang Mingyue had initially transferred the other cultivators’ hatred towards Zhou Yan.
Now, as this feeling intensified, she was sure, even if the person before her had no connection to Thunder Expansion Sacred Land, he certainly was not on amicable terms with the Jiang family.
This suspicion, born after a moment, was immediately confirmed.
The arranged battle between Zhou Yan and Jiang Wu was the best proof of this.
At this moment, the Venerable behind Jiang Mingyue had already revealed his form, a large apparition condensed into a gentleman as graceful as jade.
This person had long black hair draping over his shoulders, eyes as deep as the ocean, and mysterious rune aura emanated from his body, conveying an ancient divine aura that was clear and transparent.
His appearance was so handsome it could make the heavens envious and cause women to feel inferior, demonstrating a flawless Supreme Dao aura.
This was a true cultivator of the Venerable Realm, within the Supreme Heavenly Sword Lord’s realm, the fourth boundary of the Sword Venerate Realm.
The Sword Venerate Realm has nine great realms, the first five comprise: Earth Spirit Sky Sword Venerate, Heavenly Spirit Sword Venerate, Xuanling Sky Sword Venerate, Supreme Heavenly Sword Lord, and Primal Heavenly Sword Lord’s realm.
This man was a Venerable of the Supreme Heaven Realm, his strength condensed from the rules of heaven and earth, not a fleeting existence.
To kill such a Venerable, unless one completely overwhelms them in realm or combat power, it would be impossible to defeat them even with ten years of fierce battle, let alone ten moves.
But Zhou Yan boasted of defeating his enemy in ten moves, words that seemed as arrogant as not knowing the vastness of the sky and earth.
Even the cultivators who favored Zhou Yan couldn’t help shaking their heads, thinking Zhou Yan was too conceited.
Because as the two stood in the void, the difference in their aura’s strength was fully displayed.
A short-term Venerable’s realm was only around Heavenly Spirit Sword Venerate, and the gap with this Supreme Heavenly Sword Lord’s realm was as vast as the firefly to Haoyue?
Many cultivators who originally favored Zhou Yan couldn’t help but shake their heads regretfully, thinking there was almost no suspense in this battle.
Even Liu Haoxin and Zhao Xiaoxiao had many worries about this fight.
When they didn’t understand, they could blindly trust Zhou Yan, but now having reached the realm of the Nine Origin Sword Saint, possessing the combat power of the Fourth Transition of Sword God, they understood better the kind of enemy Zhou Yan was facing.
So, they were more worried, but this worry could never be displayed; once it was shown, a true calamity awaited the four of them.
Liu Haoxin understood this, and Zhao Xiaoxiao understood it as well.
Liu Haoxin clenched his fists and said coldly: "Master, kill this old undying dead freak!"
"Master, although his combat power isn’t impressive, Master should also not underestimate the enemy."
Zhao Xiaoxiao spoke with equal grandiosity, seemingly not taking this Venerable seriously.
Hua Qiudao just silently glanced at the Venerable twice without saying much.
However, Hua Qiudao had secretly prepared his Linglong Tower, intending to use the endless Merit Power at a crucial moment to trigger a fatal blow from the Linglong Tower to seize an opportunity for Zhou Yan.
"It seems your disciples aren’t that confident in your strength either. You are but a humble Nine Origin Sword Saint, achieving the Heavenly Spirit Sword Venerate through a special Evil Technique in an instant, yet not a true Sword Venerate; the gap between us is truly too great. You said ten moves, so I will let you have ten moves and see how you behead my Jiang Wu."
Jiang Wu stood with his hands behind his back, not regarding Zhou Yan at all.
At his realm, he was already aligned with the plane rules of heaven and earth, no longer having notions such as underestimation, which seemed laughable.
This disregard was true dismissal because Jiang Wu had seen through Zhou Yan’s foundation at a glance and believed Zhou Yan had no means to threaten him.
"Is that so? Then let’s see."
Zhou Yan first nodded slightly to Hua Qiudao and the others; Hua Qiudao immediately unleashed the Linglong Tower, placing Liu Haoxin, Zhao Xiaoxiao, and himself inside.
At this moment, Zhou Yan directly held the Linglong Tower in his hand and then integrated it into his body.
Zhou Yan’s intention was to inform Hua Qiudao that the upcoming battle would indeed have a wide reach, prompting the three of them to temporarily retreat.
Hua Qiudao clearly understood Zhou Yan’s intention and executed it without hesitation.
Thus, this scene unfolded.
After Zhou Yan handled this matter, he reserved a portion of Space Power for the Linglong Tower within his Soul Sea, allowing the three inside to observe the battle’s changes outside to avoid worrying them.
During this brief time, Jiang Wu did not make a move.
He stood silently in the void, like a true supreme deity, unmoving and firm.
At this level, everything stemmed from one’s heart; there would be no sneak attacks or underhanded tactics; everything was open and above-board.
Jiang Wu was like this, and Zhou Yan was actually the same. But Zhou Yan saw things more clearly, so even small means would be used if necessary without inhibition.
Jiang Wu watched Zhou Yan with a cold gaze, waiting for him to make a move.
At this moment, as the two were about to engage, many cultivators voluntarily withdrew to an endless distance, trying to avoid these two to prevent being truly affected.
Although the plane was strong and stable, the battle between Venerables carried a destructive aura, and a clash of single moves could destroy an entire city.
Zhou Yan did not hesitate, using his Demon Heart Blood to perform a blood sacrifice with the Xuanyuan Sword, combining it with Emperor Xuan Yuan’s Energy, unleashing the Demon Heart Sword.
This sword was a manifestation of the Xingyi Swordsmanship within the Heavenly Gang Transformation, surpassing what came before, embodying an almost immortal aura.
With a single strike, Jiang Wu slightly frowned but was unimpressed, having not moved his body.
Facing Zhou Yan’s unparalleled and intimidating sword, he merely performed the Jiang family’s ultimate skill, the Sky Vaulting Giant Finger, but the finger was not large, rather it was slightly smaller than a normal finger.
Yet it was just this finger, with a single point, that instantly shattered Zhou Yan’s sword.
Not only that, but the residual power of this fingertip strike did not diminish, directly attacking Zhou Yan, as if to decisively kill him in the void.
Zhou Yan’s figure moved slightly, and the lethal energy of the finger passed through his body without leaving a mark.
Further away in the distance, before the residual power, a massive trench in the void was created at the Ancient Tomb Mountain, as if the void had been twisted, revealing its terrifying destructive power.
All cultivators gasped in shock, as with a casual strike from the Venerable, it seemed as though the heavens and earth were shattered, twisting the void like this.
It must be noted, this was within a plane, not on a planet.
The rules of a plane are grand rules, the Tao of the plane is the Supreme Dao, and the strength of this void barrier is unimaginably strong.
Yet despite this, Jiang Wu’s combat power was so fierce, truly frightening.
Jiang Wu faced Zhou Yan with an overwhelming advantage.
In this battle, despite Zhou Yan’s moves possessing extremely terrifying destructive power when he struck, no cultivator held confidence in him.
Even Hua Qiudao was filled with some anxiety in his heart, but he knew Zhou Yan would never act recklessly, so he could only guess that Zhou Yan had another plan.
Zhou Yan, unhurried and composed, launched a few more attacks in succession.
With each attack, the Tao Zhou Yan unleashed was not the same, but the one constant was the gradually intensifying almost immortal aura.
Zhou Yan’s offensive soon reached the eighth move.
At the eighth move, Zhou Yan derived a golden Tai Chi aura, within which an infant seemed to have formed a soul body in a state of chaos.
This particular attack was slightly weaker, but its appearance made Jiang Wu finally react with some emotion.
"You actually have such insights? It seems I should take you seriously," Jiang Wu spoke softly.
His words were firm, as if suddenly he had some newfound respect for Zhou Yan.
But Zhou Yan showed little change in emotion, his state calm and steady as he said, "I told you, I’ll defeat you in ten moves!"
"You have no chance anymore, I was merely observing the current state of the Blood Witch Clan’s inheritance, and now I’ve seen all that needed to be seen," Jiang Wu said coldly.
Then, strands of Soul Power became visible above his head, manifesting into clusters of chaotic airflow.
This airflow gradually condensed, unexpectedly deriving a pure avatar, separating from Jiang Wu’s physical body.
It flew out, being a soul body, but instead of appearing weak as one might expect, it was extraordinarily powerful and invincible.
The soul transformed into a sword, attacking Zhou Yan.
Soul Sword.
This was a mimicry of the immortal aura.
Even just a trace was already invincible.
At this moment, Jiang Wu felt immense danger, and without waiting for Zhou Yan to launch the tenth move, he already unleashed his strongest strike.
Zhou Yan’s body was like a pagoda, and a crown appeared directly above his head, like the crown of a king, manifesting.
On the crown, a clumsy infant struggled to crawl out, at this moment time seemed to warp.
The Soul Fetus climbed out, sitting on the throne.
Then, the Soul Fetus opened its eyes, eyes filled with destruction, world-ending coldness, that gaze causing all cultivators to momentarily become dazed.
The Soul Fetus suddenly opened its mouth, devouring all the Emperor Xuan Yuan’s Energy within Zhou Yan’s soul, then suddenly reached out and grasped, and from the void, Xuanyuan Ancestor within the Xuanyuan Sword was suddenly seized and transformed into a Sword Dao Residual Soul Sword.
"No... Immortal Evil Soul—"
Jiang Wu’s soul, originally attacking Zhou Yan with a near-destructive strike, suddenly halted with immense fear in his eyes.
"Our Blood Witch Clan’s Sacrificial Heaven Ancient City, with the ancient blood sacrifice secret technique now fully comprehended, let your venerable soul serve as a blood sacrifice for our fallen blood witch ancestors."
Zhou Yan muttered to himself, but the words spoken by the Soul Fetus from his mouth, though incomprehensible, seemed like the greatest Supreme Dao, causing those listening to tremble even if they didn’t understand.
"Immortal, Evil Soul Sword Dao."
Zhou Yan, wielding the Xuanyuan Sword, with the ’Throne’ enhancing his soul, with an expenditure of half an hour’s combat power equivalent of Emperor Xuan Yuan’s Energy, unleashed the Immortal Strike.
He intended to write a legend of the Evil Venerate with the most formidable invincible power.
"Hiss hiss—"
Jiang Wu’s soul body was instantly decapitated, Soul Blood spurted out like a wolf smoke towering to the sky, manifesting an immense commotion.
But Zhou Yan’s Soul Fetus, its eyes suddenly turning blood-red, in an instant as if transformed into the most ferocious blood-colored beast, appeared beside Jiang Wu, and with a chubby infant hand, fiercely grabbed, all the boundless blue smoke like rolling blood flow, all being assimilated into the porcelain doll-like adorable infant’s mouth.
The infant’s eyes abruptly turned blood-red, this change completely stunned all the cultivators present.
