CHAPTER 666: CHAPTER 096 VOID SLAYING

The young man’s Blood Qi was originally calm, but after his eyes turned blood red, a bloodthirsty and fierce aura suddenly formed within him.

Upon its appearance, the aura of Blood Evil swelled violently. In the blink of an eye, it became so powerful that it sent shivers down one’s spine.

Originally, this black-robed young man was only at the Sword Void Seventh Transformation Realm. However, as this wave of Blood Killing Aura surged within him, both his strength and realm began to increase endlessly in a mad frenzy.

In just an instant, his realm jumped beyond the "Five Decays of Heaven and Man" and ascended directly to the Second Refinement Sword Tribulation Realm; his Combat Power frighteningly soared to the Peak Combat Power of the Third Refinement Sword Tribulation Realm!

Not only that, his originally neat and smooth hair now turned blood red and grew wildly like weeds.

After his ascension, his red hair completely enveloped his body, turning him into a monster wrapped in Blood Hair. Combined with his round, blood-colored eyes, as big as copper bells, even a princess of strong disposition like Yilan felt boundless fear and her complexion turned pale upon seeing him.

"Yo Ho Yo Ho—"

This black-robed, bloody-haired young man let out a series of eerie laughs, his eyes shimmering with endless cruelty as he stared at Zhou Yan, suddenly bursting forth with an endless killing intent.

Blood Evil Power, boundless killing intent - the combination of the two formed a powerful constraint and suppression.

The strength that erupted in this instance, compared to the previous displays against Qingcheng and the hunched old man, was starkly more formidable.

This also made it clear that their previous dealings with Qingcheng and the old man were merely playful torments; the real intention was to strike at Princess Yilan.

"Die—"

Suddenly, the black-robed young man sneered viciously, and with the union of Blood Evil Power and endless killing intent, a monstrous blood-covered infant emerged, with a bloody face and ferocious fangs.

This Blood Hair Infant Monster, like a bolt of lightning, charged fiercely toward Zhou Yan and opened its huge mouth to bite at his head.

This seemingly small bite could devour the Heavenly Vault and consume the All Heavens and Myriads of Worlds, carrying with it an intensely heart-quaking power.

In the face of this power, even cultivators like Yilan were utterly powerless to retaliate!

Though Yilan had great confidence in Zhou Yan, faced with this sudden turn of events and such overpowering and unstoppable suppression, she was exceedingly worried.

Yilan herself, a remarkable woman of nearly nine in the Void Nine Realm, found herself completely immobilized and suppressed by this strange transformation, unable to move at all.

Thus, similarly situated in the Sword Void Nine Transformations Peak Realm like her master, was he too restrained and unable to act? It must be noted that the opponent’s realm had already reached the pinnacle of the Second Refinement Sword Tribulation, and his strength had reached the level of the Third Refinement Sword Tribulation!

How could Sword Void Nine Transformations compete against the Third Refinement Sword Tribulation? What’s more, when controlled by the opponent’s sinister power that even froze the Void?

Yilan’s worry was not without reason, and because of these factors, her eyes carried a shade of anxiousness.

And what she thought happened in just an instant; even as these thoughts and worries were just forming, the Blood Hair Infant Monster had already bitten towards Zhou Yan’s head.

At that moment, the black-robed bloody-haired young man let out a ferocious laugh, seeming to envision Zhou Yan immobile and about to be devoured by the Blood Baby, his gaze became even more intense.

It was like thick blood burning furiously, like two ghostly fires blazing in his eyes; the young man seemingly couldn’t wait to devour Zhou Yan.

But Zhou Yan, although restricted, still wore a mocking smile on his face, as if he didn’t take any of what was happening seriously.

Zhou Yan casually slapped with his hand, and a ray of Purple Flame flashed through his hand.

In that moment, that casual strike directly sent the Blood Baby flying fiercely into the distant Void.

The Blood Baby let out a "yo—" of shrill and pitiful wail, and after being rebounded into the Void, suddenly exploded with a "puff," turning into a mist of blood.

The blood mist quickly dried up, disappearing without a trace, without even leaving a speck of dust.

"Ah—"

The bloody-haired black-robed young man also let out a heart-wrenching scream, and then continuously spewed a thick, crimson liquid from the corners of his mouth — not blood, but an unknown viscous fluid.

After screaming for a moment, he suddenly shot an intimidating ghostly light from his eyes.

He fiercely wiped the crimson liquid from the corner of his mouth and slowly stood up, his whole body radiating an energy capable of destroying heaven and earth.

"You—seek death!"

He uttered word by word.

"A bunch of demon-hearted mutants daring to claim themselves as the ’Soul Hall’ forces really deserve to die."

Seeing the behavior of these people, Zhou Yan already figured that they might have obtained some part of the "Demon Heart" inheritance from Lei Yan King.

However, the inheritance was limited, and these people did not know how to control it. Instead, they cultivated into such demonic mutant forms and lost themselves.

Now the changes were evident, Zhou Yan felt it was no longer necessary to continue observing.

Just then, the Blood Hair black-robed youth became even more furious and murderous, and Zhou Yan was no longer planning to hold back.

"Buzz—"

Zhou Yan’s eyes emitted a divine light, his hand struck directly in the air, presenting complicated and profound Dao patterns on it.

Tai Chu Rune, deriving a firework-like flame rune aura, directly distorting the Void into the flame runes.

The pale purple light was not conspicuous or harsh, yet it instilled fear in the heart.

Combining the Void Sword Body with Tai Chu Rune, deriving the Secret Technique of Purple Flame and Heavenly Tribulation, he executed a unique attack, equally invincible. Even though some techniques couldn’t be used at this time, Zhou Yan’s combat power easily surpassed ten.

This strike seemed very simple, yet with one slap, the Blood Hair youth was completely smashed into the ground. Although the attack was not directly aimed at the red-haired youth, after Zhou Yan struck, the red-haired youth suddenly appeared under Zhou Yan’s palm as if space-time had misplaced him.

"Crack—"

This striking force clearly assaulted the red-haired youth in the eyes of everyone; his body shattered inch by inch, instantly turning into powder, his blood turning into a mist of blood, which also mysteriously dissipated all at once.

"This—"

Everyone gasped in shock.

At that moment, one of the Battle Hall Masters from the Three Great Battle Halls suddenly faced an attack by Zhou Yan who had released a Low Grade Holy Artifact that contained massive Saint Power, capable of piercing through the Heaven and Universe.

But Zhou Yan seemed to have anticipated this, and once he acted, he didn’t stop; his hand transformed, and a pitch-black Holy Artifact sword suddenly appeared in his hand.

His arm bent, then suddenly swung forward fiercely!

"Spurt—"

This sword destroyed that wave of Holy Power instantly, its force unabated, piercing through the Void and instantly perforating the body of this Battle Hall Master, nailing him in the Void.

Endless blood formed a river. The piercing strength of this sword was so immense that even though the Battle Hall Master was nailed in the Void, the sword and his body still flew backward, disappearing into the distant limitless darkness.

Everyone was moved.

"Spurt—"

The flying-out Hall Master’s body suddenly exploded into pieces far away, yet a black light flew back like a ghost and appeared in Zhou Yan’s hand.

Cold, pitch-black long sword, flickering with a chilling cold light, with blood not staining it, still as clear as a mirror.

Zhou Yan lightly flicked the sword’s body, the dark-colored sword let out a series of joyful chirps, seemingly resonating with his soul.

The Cultivators of the Three Great Battle Halls finally turned pale collectively, casting glances at each other, and immediately stopped underestimating their opponent, preparing to decisively execute Qingcheng, the white-haired elder, and Yilan.

But they had not even managed to act, and Zhou Yan immediately circulated the endless Void Energy, forcefully suppressing the Void while executing the corresponding Void Sword Dao of the Void Sword Body.

This Sword Dao was also extremely powerful, and combining it with Zhou Yan’s invincible combat power, these Cultivators, who were only comparable to the Second Refinement Sword Tribulation, were completely no match for him.

With one sword strike transforming into ten thousand swords, utilizing the weirdness and extreme speed of the Void and the terrifying killing moves of the Ten Thousand Ghost Sword Dao, Zhou Yan struck with one sword and more than ten heads flew, blood scattering the ground.

Zhou Yan’s expression remained calm, his actions ruthless and fatal, killing souls with extreme cruelty; even with sixty people from the Three Great Battle Halls, in such an instant, more than thirty were instantly killed!

This terrifying lethality caused some Cultivators to turn blood-red, nearly driven mad. Some Cultivators felt uncertain and fearful, extremely afraid, and dared not approach.

Zhou Yan cleared a bloody path with one sword, Yilan immediately broke the restraints, sweeping up Qingcheng and the white-haired elder.

After transferring them to a safe place, she immediately placed them inside the palace and administered a large amount of precious Elixirs, then immediately returned to the battle, launching a frenzied attack on the Blood Hair Cultivator.

Her actions effectively cut off the ties to the battle. Once Qingcheng and the white-haired elder were safe, she too could engage without hesitation.

...

"Boom!"

Suddenly, a mysterious terrifying force silently smashed onto Zhou Yan, like waves of soul-shattering ripples, invisible and colorless, yet extremely powerful.

These ripple impacts penetrated physical defenses and reached directly to the soul, seemingly capable of suppressing and shattering the soul in one strike!

This was a very sinister and vicious Cultivation Technique, unpredictable and extremely cruel.

Zhou Yan’s soul shook violently, and with the strength of his soul, he was almost shattered and torn apart in one fell swoop! Zhou Yan felt as if struck by heavenly lightning, his body went numb, and he almost collapsed, feeling dizzy and disoriented.

At the Peak of the Fourth Sword Tribulation Refinement, Zhou Yan could easily slay as if cutting grass, yet now he nearly fell to these Little Cultivators whose combat power didn’t even equal the Fourth Sword Tribulation Refinement in terms of Blood Qi, causing a shock to Zhou Yan’s heart.

He immediately sank his spirit, and the hidden Blood Qi inside his body finally emerged.
