Chapter 747: Chapter 171 Twelve Beast Sword Soul!_2
It was as if his brain had been swapped; nothing was difficult anymore.
Or perhaps it was because the Tao Sword Body had been activated; Zhou Yan felt a sense of being the Supreme King of Ten Thousand Realms, as if he had suddenly returned to the era when he was the Ten Thousand Realms Supreme King in his last life.
This soul transformation and the derivation from Heavenly Tribulation has similarly refined the Ancient Scripture he cultivated with, thanks to the refinement and transformation through Tai Chu Heavenly Tribulation,
the Three Ancient Scriptures, namely “Taiyin Talisman Scripture,” “Void Ancient Scripture,” and the complete “Nirvana Scripture.”
Not only that, Zhou Yan had a new comprehension of the “Emperor’s Hidden Talisman Scripture” that his brother had passed on to him, taking it a step further.
At the same time, Zhou Yan’s artifact refining skills have finally transformed entirely into Tai Chu Artifact Dao; his alchemy abilities, into Tai Chu Alchemy Dao.
And his Supreme Water Swordsmanship, since it involved soul attack methods, has now wholly transformed into the Divine Soul Attack Dao, somewhat similar to Killing Spirit Divine Dao, yet different in its unique way. Although overall it fell short of Killing Spirit Divine Dao, it had become incredibly formidable.
This Dao is a kind of Soul-Suppressing Divine Dao. With one move, it carries the force of Soul Destruction, Duan Chou, Loneliness, Carefree, Life and Death, An Ran and other various Divine Soul impacts, causing instant stupefaction, almost freezing the soul in place and leaving one to await death helplessly.
This Dao is also extremely terrifying.
It could be said that every Dao has now undergone a fundamental transformation.
Zhou Yan had all the cultivation insights clearly in mind and after absorbing them all, he finally felt as if the brandings and shackles on his body had broken.
Now, no Cultivator in this Ancient Ice Glacier would be his match because this had nothing to do with combat power anymore.
The Thunderflame Sword Body could derive Heavenly Tribulations, and as he had refined the Heavenly Tribulation in this realm, it no longer posed an attack threat to him. As long as he drew down the Heavenly Tribulation, no matter how many enemies came, they were doomed.
This ability, of course, could only be used within the Ancient Ice Glacier, but Zhou Yan could now truly face everything.
Truly as Lei Yan King Zhou Yan, he could tell all those genius Cultivators who could return to the Netherworld, the True God Plane, that Lei Yan King Zhou Yan was alive and even more domineering!
However, even if they went back and spread the news, Zhou Yan would no longer appear but would leave this realm and return to Earth.
…
Walking out from the state of transformation, Zhou Yan felt that the Five Declines of Heaven and Man were gone; the previous suppressions had disappeared, and the pressure and burden in his heart had vanished.
His mind was incredibly serene, and his condition was unbelievably good.
He also regained those not entirely comprehensive memories; some still unread from the Memory Crystal, but these were not important.
Because now, he had even recovered the kingly aura and demeanor befitting Lei Yan King.
“At this moment, it truly feels like the rise of me, Lei Yan King Zhou Yan. No matter how much others plot and scheme, they can be crushed by overwhelming strength. Thus, powerful strength is the guarantee of everything.”
Zhou Yan muttered to himself indifferently, with his hands behind his back, walking out from the endless chaotic energy. Then, with a slight push of his hand, a surge of Emperor Qi Dragon Swallowing Heaven Divine Power rose, instantly turning the chaotic energy into energy for his cultivation, slightly increasing the strength of his soul.
Afterward, Zhou Yan casually crafted a set of top-tier white Scholarly Robe Soul Armor and put it on himself, then he lifted the restrictive forces on Xiao Fei.
Xiao Fei was still in Sudden Enlightenment and would soon wake up. As Xuanyuan Ancestor said, more than two months had already passed in the Ancient Ice Glacier.
“Xuanyuan Ancestor really has disappeared, and the Xuanyuan Sword Fragments have turned into junk… Well, since I promised him, I will definitely fulfill it.”
“These ancient people in mythological legends are very good in terms of ‘benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom, and faithfulness’; they are trustworthy. Even if one cannot trust, trusting can be a good thing since it can use the strength of a mightier person to break through all the obstacles in front of them, a method in itself.”
Zhou Yan thought to himself.
His disposition had changed, becoming more confident, powerful, with an ‘invincible’ will.
With the restrictions gone, Xiao Fei suddenly woke up, only then sensing the shift in time. She felt very guilty and blamed herself, her face showing extreme remorse.
She didn’t speak, but Zhou Yan spoke first: “Your Sudden Enlightenment was excellent because your instinctive protection during it was in place, so there’s no need for self-blame. Now, let’s hurry and find the Deep Layered Realm of the Ancient Ice Glacier. I can grasp the point of Time Origin, knowing that somewhere ahead lies a deeper place.”
Zhou Yan said.
“Ah, a point of Time Origin? What, what is that? Could it be…?”
Xiao Fei exclaimed in surprise, and when she looked at Zhou Yan again, it was like seeing a massive mountain standing in front of her, filled with a sense of awe.
She was immediately shocked.
The change in Zhou Yan was too terrifying; within his body slept an Immortal Supreme, extremely dangerous.
“No matter what it is, it’s definitely not a bad thing. Come with me, I’ll take you flying over.”
Zhou Yan said with a slight smile.
“Flying over? No, that’s not possible, as there are many chaotic nodes in the void here that could devour—ugh—”
Halfway through her sentence, Zhou Yan unexpectedly released a soul from within his body, transforming into a massive divine bird akin to a golden-winged Peng.
This gigantic divine bird obscured the sun and sky, as if it could cause a tumultuous uproar in the waters, soaring to incredible heights with abnormal prowess.
Xiao Fei was utterly astonished, her eyes wide with disbelief. Recalling that Zhou Yan was indeed the Lei Yan King, she felt a sense of relief.
Nonetheless, she still couldn’t help but gasp in amazement.
“Zhou… Zhou Yan, you, this…”
“This is the Golden Kite War Beast Sword Soul, possessing the essence of the bloodline of a Golden Winged Dapeng. Understand, a Golden Winged Dapeng?”
Zhou Yan asked calmly.
His demeanor, compared to before, carried a slight indifference, but the coldness, as well as the top-tier sense of presence in Zhou Yan’s bones and soul, only made Xiao Fei more captivated.
Far from being displeased, she actually favored it. However the words spoken by Zhou Yan seemed to have suddenly turned profound, and she found herself unable to understand them.
“The Golden Winged Dapeng? I really don’t know about that.”
Xiao Fei expressed regretfully.
“In the North Sea, there is a fish called Kun, which transforms into a bird that can strike the water thrice and rise ninety thousand li high, this is what is called a Peng. The Golden Winged Dapeng is an ancient, um, in this world, it should be referred to as a divine beast from the ‘Tai Chu’ era.”
“Of course, the realms of the Tai Chu era are different from our current realms. The gods of that era could be compared to our Supremes.”
Zhou Yan explained. Then with a wave of his hand, the Golden Winged Sword Soul flapped its massive wings and hoisted both Zhou Yan and Xiao Fei onto its back. With another flap, it ascended towards the heavens and descended into the earth, transforming into a streak of light that streaked through this terrifying glacial expanse.
“Ah—Danger!”
Suddenly, a space node burst forth, displaying its devouring power intending to consume both Zhou Yan and the Golden Winged Dapeng. Xiao Fei’s face turned pale as she cried out in alarm, immediately throwing herself at the void node, ready to desperately fend off the danger to buy Zhou Yan time.
But the figure of the Golden Winged Dapeng shifted and moved through the void, appearing elsewhere.
Next, another Sword Soul flew out from Zhou Yan’s body, morphing into a huge Thunderhawk that spat out a force of Heavenly Tribulation power, summoning the Heavenly Tribulation to descend.
When the Heavenly Tribulation appeared, the previously ferocious giant axe-wielding man brought the axe down, directly striking the space node.
“Pfft—”
The void node shattered, obliterated on the spot by the Heavenly Tribulation.
The Thunderhawk, now an avatar of Zhou Yan, executed the Emperor Qi Dragon Swallowing Heaven Technique, and with a massive inhalation, endless energy surged into the Thunderhawk-converted avatar of Zhou Yan.
Subsequently, the avatar Zhou Yan disappeared into the void with a flash and a moment later entered back into Zhou Yan’s body.
Zhou Yan let out a full burp, casually exhaling a wisp of impure chaotic energy.
“Uh—”
The entire scene left Xiao Fei dumbfounded.
With her naturally dazed and cute demeanor, she couldn’t help but gently touch her face, then vigorously rubbed her eyes to ensure she was not dreaming.
A good while later, when she realized everything was real, her mouth opened so wide in shock that she couldn’t close it.
“Zhou Zhou Zhou Zhou Zhou Yan, have you have you have you restored the Lei Yan King’s strength?”
The beautiful yet aloof Xiao Fei had become a stutterer.
“Mm, my memory has almost fully recovered, and my strength has slightly improved. It’s impressive here because I have survived the Ninety-nine Heavenly Tribulations. In this space, I can utilize these Heavenly Tribulations, it’s not as incredible as you think.”
Zhou Yan explained with a smile.
“Ah… you you you have passed the Ninety-nine Heavenly Tribulations? Then, then do you not possess an immortal soul and divine essence?”
Xiao Fei was totally flabbergasted.
She felt that from childhood to now, nothing had ever shocked her more than what she had just witnessed.
