Zhou Yan was somewhat surprised. Once, he couldn’t see through Jia Yongheng’s realm either. Perhaps Jia Yongheng was somewhat mysterious back then, but more than that, he was just one of the people beside the Thunder Flame Monarch or even Lei Yan King, without achieving immortality.

But now, just the aura that inadvertently leaked out from his slumber gave Zhou Yan an uneasy feeling, as if the very aura was already astounding.

Is this the strength that an ordinary realm can present?

As Zhou Yan stared at Jia Yongheng, on the other side, where the Town Domain Netherworld was located, mysterious void fluctuations appeared, rippling like water waves, then gradually expanded in scope, and soon, endless ripples dispersed.

Within the ripples appeared four women with evil spirit aura. These four females were Qin Ruyu, Zhao Xiaoxiao, Hong Yuqiao, and Yun Shiyin.

At the moment the four evil spirits appeared, their cold and murderous eyes immediately shot towards Zhou Yan’s location.

Zhou Yan’s body trembled, instantly locked by that terrifying killing intent, even sensing that the Withered Bone Warship ceased moving.

In his heart, Zhou Yan had a bad feeling; he knew that fighting inside the ship’s cabin was completely forbidden, not allowing the golden miniature Ancestor Dragon Warship to experience any upheaval, lest unimaginable calamity would occur.

The feeling came unexpectedly, but once it arose, Zhou Yan knew it signified the seriousness of the situation.

For someone of Zhou Yan’s realm, when such a feeling arises, it must be given utmost attention.

Zhou Yan’s figure moved, instantly deploying endless wind elements to buff himself, and at the same time, deriving wings from the original elements throughout his body, like the Gift of Word Spirit, where words become law.

Soon after, Zhou Yan appeared outside the cabin, almost instantly flying towards the sky above the Town Domain Netherworld.

Zhou Yan dared not stay too long on the Withered Bone Warship; this reluctance was not just because of the four evil spirits, but also due to the fear of triggering unforeseen uncontrollable disasters by battling on the ship.

As Zhou Yan’s figure flickered, a stream of flame suddenly pierced through the void, bombarding him, causing Zhou Yan’s body to tremble, knocking him back, directly hit by the opponent.

This technique surprised Zhou Yan; as he turned his head, he saw Hong Yuqiao shooting towards him like a fiery sun.

Zhou Yan was solemn in heart; there was a gap between his realm and Hong Yuqiao’s, but due to the high-quality rules he understood, his comprehension was the King Immortal Principle, capable of instant-killing ordinary beings at the Ninth Great Perfection of Eternal Nine Rules, while Hong Yuqiao was close to the Half-step Monarch realm, already equivalent to comprehending an inkling of the King Realm threshold, thus able to also instantly slay Eternal Spirit beings at Ninth Great Perfection with ease.

Their combat power, in theory, is evenly matched. Zhou Yan originally thought that even if he couldn’t instantly kill Hong Yuqiao, defeating her wouldn’t be too difficult.

But Hong Yuqiao’s vital strike immediately made Zhou Yan aware that, despite his strength, Hong Yuqiao, unaffected by emotions, is far stronger than an emotional Hong Yuqiao.

This change was beyond Zhou Yan’s expectations. As his figure flowed, the Nirvana Power derived, enveloped by endless rules, as shadows of giant mountains and endless beast voids manifested, rapidly merging into Zhou Yan’s own Eternal Spirit, forming a transformation akin to reincarnation.

This was the reestablishment of the Form Intent War Beast Sword Soul, also a transformative evolution method of Zhou Yan’s Affectionate Sword Dao and Lifeless Sword Dao.

Combined with the Nirvana Skill, Zhou Yan could instantly recover much of his unfavorable status.

With Hong Yuqiao’s vital strike, Zhou Yan endured it, quickly recovering from any discomfort without additional abnormalities.

Meanwhile, Zhou Yan summoned his Thunder Flame Sword, deriving the Lifeless Sword Dao, revealing the Heartless Dao, and suppressed Hong Yuqiao.

At this moment, Hong Yuqiao waved her slender hand, a huge golden bow and arrow suddenly appeared in her hand, her waist straightened, her hand fiercely pulling the bow, the enormous golden bow and arrow revealed a fiery sun planet, like an Emperor Star, brilliant and dazzling, then transformed into endless fiery suns, impacting heaven and earth.

"Pfft—"

A fiery sun like an Emperor Star surged forward, rolling amidst the void between heaven and earth.

The spring water of Town Domain Netherworld even exploded with soaring black energy within this terrifying fiery sun, roasted dry, absorbed, and devoured into the fiery sun.

From this strike, Zhou Yan’s gaze narrowed, even feeling a spatial constriction; space seemed frozen, his anxious pupils unable to change color, even his body’s sensing dulled and slowed, time seemingly entirely slowed down.

Under this terrifying power’s suppression, the fiery sun transformed into an arrow, an arrow piercing endless void, abruptly shooting towards Zhou Yan’s brow!

"I say, all things are silent, origins return to truth!"

At this moment, Zhou Yan was extremely perilous, aware that Hong Yuqiao was serious, no jesting means. This strike, possibly, might make Zhou Yan die in regret here; hence, he dared not be careless and immediately derived the Gift of Word Spirit, where words become law, added to his Lifeless Sword Dao.

Afterwards, Zhou Yan wielded the Thunder Flame Sword, unleashing a Light Saber power that shook the heavens and earth, with the Light Saber vibrating through the void, splitting the netherworld, piercing through the Fiery Sun, and clashing with that arrow.

The void trembled, and then a terrifying force of recoil flipped Zhou Yan over; like a cannonball, Zhou Yan was fiercely blasted out, his body shattering the infinite void barriers of this unknown space, crushing several unknown singularities within the void.

As for Hong Yuqiao, cracks exploded all over his body, blood spraying out, drenched in blood, his form shattered, revealing him in a very embarrassing state.

This strike was unexpectedly evenly matched, with both mutually wounded by the recoil force.

Zhou Yan’s recovery ability was extremely strong, so he almost instantly employed Nirvana Power, the original rules descending with his words made reality, quickly recovering completely.

On the other hand, Hong Yuqiao, after being knocked back, surprisingly did not continue to attack—— this point, the self-control ability of the Evil Spirit was extremely rational.

Without emotion, there would never be impulsive reactions.

At any time, one would choose the thing with the greatest benefits and advantages!

Under such circumstances, Zhou Yan had no time to catch his breath when his body was suddenly struck by a terrifying melody piercing his ears.

It was an exceptionally beautiful music, originating from the Earth Ancestral Land, a very ancient Erhu melody!

The Erhu, uniquely blending sounds akin to the horse hooves on a battlefield and the neighs of the Dragon Horse, seemingly roaring and raging, seemed to transport Zhou Yan back to the Earth Ancestral Land!

The melody attacked, bombarding Zhou Yan’s heart with information from the Earth Ancestral Land, causing his body to pause momentarily!

In this situation, beside Zhou Yan’s figure, another cold and fierce silhouette appeared; this figure was Zhao Xiaoxiao, who had already summoned the Shennong Cauldron, its power viciously smashing towards Zhou Yan’s head.

Simultaneously, Qin Ruyu, who had not made a move all along, suddenly displayed an endless killing intent, directly locking onto Zhou Yan’s center of the brow, unleashing a tower strike with infinite killing intent.

In such circumstances, Zhou Yan could not defend himself, nor could he evade.

The effect of the melody fiercely shook Zhou Yan’s Eternal Spirit, while the power of the cauldron had already struck Zhou Yan’s head, and Zhou Yan directly felt an extreme dizziness at this moment; Qin Ruyu’s tower also directly struck Zhou Yan’s brow.

"Boom——" 𝑓𝑟𝑒𝘦𝓌𝑒𝑏𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝘭.𝒸𝘰𝑚

His brow trembled, the Purple Flame Void deep within being pierced by this tower, with the Lei Yan Continent just newly formed, now directly shattered, transforming into a wasteland.

Inside, the world seemed to face a catastrophic disaster, instantly collapsing, exploding like a blast.

Zhou Yan’s Eternal Spirit was also knocked out of the body by this tower strike, and under this blow, cracks appeared throughout the whole Eternal Spirit, soul blood oozing out sorrowfully.

The ruthlessness of this joint strike, even a King caught off guard would encounter suppression, let alone, these four Evil Spirits, each not inferior to Zhou Yan’s combat power.

Zhou Yan felt unbearably uncomfortable, and that tower was truly the Haotian Tower, a Desolate Domain Divine Weapon, a King’s Weapon, developed by Evil Spirits to unleash extreme combat power, such a strike equating even to a Kings strike, Zhou Yan trembled all over, shivering, with his physical body beginning to collapse, and his Original Spirit seeming to become somewhat unstable.

"Earth Fire Wind, Light Dark Thunder!"

Zhou Yan began to combine the pure Gift of Word Spirit with the Elemental Origin power, deriving his own King Dao.

The newly created King Dao was wielded by Zhou Yan with the Thunder Flame Sword, forming an absolute attack and kill domain.

The attack and kill domain were temporarily capable of blocking the second wave of Qin Ruyu and the others’ deadly assault.

However, Zhou Yan was still pushed back repeatedly by the recoil force.

Zhou Yan knew he was no longer able to withstand; in this circumstance, he had no reservations left.

The King Immortal Principle of the Eternal no longer concealed but layer by layer was fully activated, and the Three Pure Ones Technique was also displayed at this moment.

After displaying the Three Pure Ones Technique, Zhou Yan’s Eternal Spirit seemed even more tragic, but the three Eternal Spirits concurrently executed various means, employing Nirvana Power and Original Recovery Method to mend all kinds of wounds, simultaneously, Zhou Yan unleashed the Emperor Qi Dragon Devouring Technique, beginning to devour the chaotic energy from all directions.

The energy from battle and the chaotic recoil energy were nonetheless energy, and although it was filled with significant amounts of Evil Spirit Power, there was no choice at the moment, should Zhou Yan not devour, without a source of energy, he would become increasingly passive.
