Evil Venerable of the Sword Dao-Chapter 1367 - 109: Counterattack with Overwhelming Force

Chapter 1367: Chapter 109: Counterattack with Overwhelming Force

These were things that the dog-headed beastman told Zhou Yan out of kindness, seeing that he didn’t understand anything.

Otherwise, Zhou Yan would find it difficult to stand his ground.

In the Immortal Domain, every aspect is rigorous, and the same goes for energy consumption which is severe. Despite being carried by the Soul Body and thus indestructible, if the consumption exceeds the balance, the realm will regress.

Therefore, in the Immortal Domain, it’s not the older you are, the stronger you become; rather, the stronger the Soul Body, the more powerful you are.

And many ancient beings experience significant declines in realm and combat power.

Unless there is a unique energy replenishment, such as soul stone supplements, high-level medicinal herbs, elixirs, etc.

After understanding these, Zhou Yan then realized that the rules in the Immortal Domain are actually more detailed and more complete.

Zhou Yan left the town and headed towards the direction where the Ancient Fu Xi Clan was located.

On this journey, it was always very calm. Zhou Yan traveled day and night, consuming energy severely, but since he devoured the Thorn Worm and Swordfish, his consumption was somewhat compensated.

However, he was almost dirt poor, without even a single lowest-grade Original Soul Stone.

The days were actually hard and dull, especially the continuous traveling life, but Zhou Yan remained calm, as still as a deep well.

After rushing for three consecutive days, this day, Zhou Yan sensed a violent wave of karma ahead, and instinctively felt an extremely dangerous aura. Thus, he instinctively retreated at high speed, changing direction in flight.

But this time, Zhou Yan couldn’t avoid the unknown danger as he had in the past.

A burly middle-aged man with tiger-faced elf ears, whose body was flowing with terrifying bloody water, and whose Soul Body was severely damaged, suddenly lunged towards Zhou Yan.

As he lunged, his beast claws still held half of a living being’s severed limb.

This was the severed limb of a human clan woman; her Soul Body was shattered, the Eternal Spirit torn and sealed, although recovering continuously, she still couldn’t withstand the tiger-faced beastman’s tearing and devouring.

Very soon, when the recovery of the Eternal Spirit surpassed the extreme, reaching the ultimate destruction of the balanced structure, the woman let out a tragic cry, finally resolutely opting for self-destruction and Tao transformation.

Stream upon stream of soul power dissipated into the heavens and earth, while the tiger-faced beastman roared with discontent, seemingly unsated.

After such a situation, the tiger-faced beastman vented more of his fury on Zhou Yan, inciting an extreme sense of fear within him.

Sudden fear, sudden combat, sudden death, made Zhou Yan realize, the peaceful world, is truly not peaceful.

Zhou Yan couldn’t discern the realm of the tiger-faced beastman.

Nor could he sense it.

Moreover, this tiger-faced beastman had already suffered severe injuries, obviously unable to achieve ultimate combat power.

Yet even so, Zhou Yan stood no chance.

Knowing he couldn’t escape, he just calmly stared at the tiger-faced beastman.

"The humble living being of the Human Clan, such a cheap realm, what a pity."

The tiger-faced beastman snarled, the voice from the soul causing Zhou Yan’s Eternal Spirit to tremble inexplicably.

Amid the tremors, Zhou Yan already sensed the stench, as the tiger-faced beastman had charged to kill.

Zhou Yan’s face darkened. He didn’t fight back but said in a deep voice, "I am the Young Sect Master of the Ziwei Sect, do you dare to kill me?"

The tiger-faced beastman paused, then showed a look of uncertainty on his face.

But soon, he laughed, with an infinitely mocking smile: "Ziwei Sect is a sect of women, how could it have men? Even so, if I’ve already acted, there won’t be any luck involved. Originally, I wanted to devour and refine you, but since you’ve revealed this information, I will exert my full strength, without reservation, with extreme power, to crush you, so that when you fall, no living beings will know it was me who did it!"

The tiger-faced beastman sneered, suddenly enhancing his power to the extreme, unleashing an incomparably ferocious attack towards Zhou Yan.

This attack was too fast.

Too fast to respond.

But Zhou Yan showed no panic, seemingly having anticipated this situation.

At that moment, Zhou Yan’s Xuanyuan Sword opened up a tenfold amplification, initiating its own Sky Creation Immortality Principle, and Zhou Yan’s soul abruptly surged in strength five hundred times, opening his brow space.

Xuanyuan Sword reverberated out a Reflected Sword Formation, causing the tiger-faced beastman’s incomparably ferocious attack towards Zhou Yan to be directly rebounded out.

"Boom—"

The tiger-faced beastman faced the attack of his strongest strike, immediately nearly shattering the stability of his own Eternal Spirit, almost directly killing himself, shattering himself.

He let out a heart-rending roar, and at this moment, terrifying soul power impacted the Soul Body of the tiger-faced beastman, followed by a beam of light that enveloped the void.

Zhou Yan’s figure passed through the tiger-faced beastman, locking the beastman into his brow in one swift move.

At the same time, his brow closed, the soul weakened, and in an instant, the unique Eight Diagrams Power scattered in all directions. Although Zhou Yan’s brow showed no change, this meticulously calculated and orchestrated strike had already devoured the tiger-faced beastman into his brow.

From within his brow, a tearing pain gradually emerged, but this pain was insignificant against Zhou Yan’s Eternal Life will.

As long as his brow did not explode, Zhou Yan could endure any amount of pain.

The Xuanyuan Sword, after being struck by the tiger-faced beastman, was still vibrating and hadn’t stopped. Even though it had reflected an attack, it continued to tremble nonstop, clearly having withstood an incredibly powerful impact. 𝐟𝚛𝕖𝚎𝕨𝗲𝐛𝚗𝐨𝐯𝐞𝕝.𝐜𝗼𝗺

Moreover, because of the swelling of his brow, Zhou Yan’s seven apertures began to bleed.

Yet, Zhou Yan calmly sat down, beginning to release the energy from his brow and devour the soul power scattered in all directions.

Though much of this power had dissipated, Zhou Yan still managed to devour a considerable amount, which led to a dramatic increase in his realm, undergoing a series of shock-induced transformations.

Zhou Yan’s realm broke through the shackles of the Fourth Level Peak of the First Layer of Eternal Life, entering the peak of the Fifth Layer of Eternal Life First Principle, and then broke through the confinement of the Fifth Layer Peak, stepping into the Sixth Realm of the First Principle of Eternal Life.

And this realm soon reached the peak state of the Sixth Realm of Karma in the First Principle of Eternal Life.

However, this time, Zhou Yan was unable to break through, and instead, a sense of restless unease arose within him.

Gradually, Zhou Yan’s heart settled. He knew that this was due to progressing too quickly, causing his temperament to be unstable.

In the Immortal Domain, such a breakthrough was almost impossible, as each advancement required the eternal spirit to re-stabilize to its most secure structure. Zhou Yan’s eternal spirit, reliant on the Thunder Flame Breaking Path Mountain in his brow, was very unique, making this situation negligible for him.

Yet, even so, after several consecutive breakthroughs, Zhou Yan reached his limit. Any further breakthrough would surely cause chaos in his brow, destabilizing his eternal spirit.

Zhou Yan took a deep breath, silently immersed in his brow, where the tiger-faced beastman had marked down the Thunder Seal.

As Zhou Yan sensed this mark, he instantly acquired a massive amount of knowledge, gaining a profound understanding of everything related to the tiger-faced beastman.

At that moment, Zhou Yan’s perspective widened, and his experience was no longer meager.

After retreating from the tiger-faced beastman’s brow, Zhou Yan made slight changes to his attire, making his white combat armor more distinctive and better suited to this world.

Simultaneously, Zhou Yan took out a plain silver-white ring from his brow, gently placing it on the ring finger of his right hand.

It was a Void Ring.

Contained within was void space, housing over a thousand Third-Level Original Soul Stones and several hundred Fourth-Level Soul Stones.

The tiger-faced beastman, named Mong Tai, hailed from the Tibetan Tiger Race, being a prominent figure within his clan, with a strength at the Triple Realm of the Third Principle of Eternal Life. He was previously heavily injured by the human clan woman Xia Xique, then fought desperately to kill Xia Xique, suppressed her eternal spirit, and devoured her to heal his injuries. Ultimately, he encountered Zhou Yan, was counter-suppressed, and became a servant.

Zhou Yan refined Mong Tai’s memories, acquiring a wealth of combat experience and simultaneously learning the three Immortality Principles corresponding to Mong Tai.

However, due to the constraints of his realm and ability, Zhou Yan could only utilize the Immortality Principle abilities corresponding to his own realm state.

Even though Mong Tai knew the principles of Reincarnation, Heavenly Destiny, and Breaking Dao, Zhou Yan did not.

At this point, Zhou Yan realized that the Immortality Principle required him to comprehend it step by step. Others’ insights could only serve as references, feelings, and experiences.

This scenario was anticipated by Zhou Yan, but he didn’t mind. When necessary, he could transform into Mong Tai without Mong Tai’s abilities, but Mong Tai himself had them.

Mong Tai was a servant, and although Zhou Yan had not destroyed his realm, Mong Tai’s realm, after being heavily injured and devoured, fell to the First Layer of the Third Principle of Eternal Life but had already begun to slowly recover.

Even if fully restored, Mong Tai would still be at the First Layer of the Third Principle of Eternal Life. At critical moments, Zhou Yan could still call upon Mong Tai to shield him from death!

However, doing so would undoubtedly reveal the brow mark on Mong Tai, so Zhou Yan refrained from doing this unless absolutely necessary.

After suppressing Mong Tai, Zhou Yan gradually calmed down before moving forward once again. This time, he was much more cautious, extending his sensing power to the utmost.

In this manner, for three continuous days, Zhou Yan encountered no further peril.

During this period, Zhou Yan passed through two somewhat larger towns and, using soul stones, hired an Immortal Crane at an Ancestral Temple Commerce called ’Ancestral Temple Commerce’, to transport him to the Fu Xi Ancient Land in a Third-Layer Eternal Life Principle state.

As a result, over the next three to four days, Zhou Yan traversed a distance that would have taken nearly a month on his own power.

Upon reaching the Fu Xi Ancestor Land, the Immortal Crane flew away on its own, finally allowing Zhou Yan to see the outline of the Fu Xi Ancestor Land.

The Fu Xi Ancestor Land contained a unique spatial node that required the Eight Diagrams to activate.

The node was quite ordinary, and without the Eight Diagrams or common methods, no one could enter.

Zhou Yan found the node, which was located at a spring on a desolate hill, appearing unremarkable.

However, when he was there without any creature’s attention, Zhou Yan activated his Eight Diagrams, triggering the spatial node at the spring, as well as his Eight Diagrams Power.
