Evil Venerable of the Sword Dao-Chapter 1277 - 21: Bloodline Emperor Seal Tao
Zhou Yan noticed the changes in the faces of these people, but did not take it to heart, and had no concerns about the impending threat of sticky tree-skin monsters.
Though these fierce creatures are formidable, under Zhou Yan’s offensive, they cannot truly inflict lethal damage on him.
Without lethal damage, the danger is not significant.
Initially, Zhou Yan believed the transformations of the Demon Heart creatures outside had reached a high level, but now he realized that although the transformation was advanced, compared to the Demon Heart creatures he encountered on the cliff in the Big Rift, they were much weaker.
For this reason, Zhou Yan felt a lot more at ease.
Instead of focusing on those Demon Heart creatures, Zhou Yan turned his attention to Su Qin and Zhang Yu, who were eyeing him fiercely.
At this moment, Su Qin and Zhang Yu also realized the severity of the situation.
"Friend, let’s temporarily put aside our grievances. How about we defeat the Demon Heart creatures together and talk later? Although we have internal conflicts, we are all members of the Human Clan. Facing these Demon Heart creatures requires us to unite, for that is the only hope for survival."
Su Qin hesitated slightly before speaking up.
Her willingness to speak indicated some subconscious submission to Zhou Yan, merely taking a step down.
However, Zhou Yan seemed as if he hadn’t heard anything, looked at her indifferently, and clearly didn’t take her words to heart.
"You—"
Su Qin’s face suddenly turned a bit ugly. Being able to say such words was essentially putting aside her pride and dignity. Given so many of her team members died on the spot, her words almost equated to surrender, yet her opponent did not appreciate it at all.
This made her feel somewhat embarrassed.
"Such a selfish person, why waste words with him? Everyone prepare, the fierce monsters are coming. If he truly doesn’t know good from evil, even if we all die, so many fierce monsters will surely not allow him any benefits either!"
"Hmph!"
Zhang Yu, witnessing Su Qin’s plight, also looked very displeased, and thus snorted coldly and rebuked.
"Now you know the importance of unity? What a joke. What are you? What gives you the power to say these things? Fierce creatures? These are far weaker to me than the dangers beneath the Big Rift. I survived that, and no matter how many more there are here, they are meaningless to me!"
"However, before that, you all must die!"
While speaking, Zhou Yan had already taken action.
This time, he did not hesitate or waste time, the Ancestral Dragon Secret Technique was performed, instantly locking onto Su Qin and Zhang Yu.
Within the Ancestral Dragon Secret Technique, fragments of Soul Killing and Soul Slash were triggered, shaking the Bitter Sea of both, followed by terrifying power that shook their Soul Seas, making their minds blank, completely immobilized.
At this moment, Zhou Yan was like a stream of light, using the extreme Space Power movement technique to enhance himself, moving like a shadow, wielding the Xuanyuan Sword, leaving marks akin to Dao Traces.
That sword, unparalleled; that sword, like a stunning rainbow.
The deployment of such Secret Techniques, such capabilities, was seamless, presenting an indescribable natural power, an unspeakable beauty flowing through Secret Techniques.
At this time, the Dao was singing, the Sword Light like a rainbow, gorgeous and peculiar.
It seemed like the harmony of the Tao appeared, or a symphony of light and sound revealing the aura of Dao Rhymes.
This sword was akin to a sword of Harmonization, Zhou Yan seemed to achieve Unity of Heaven and Man, grasping a strand of Rule Power between Heaven and Earth.
Indescribably marvelous, in a moment seemingly Eternal, in a moment, seemingly touching the Secret Techniques of Eternal and even Eternal Life.
This sword, just a single sword, in the blink of countless breaths, but to Zhou Yan, it resembled a piece of history, a world of Red Dust, long yet peculiar, strange and deeply probing the Spirit and Soul.
Unexpectedly, while achieving Unity with body and mind, he unleashed a sword of multiple Secret Techniques with such terrifying power.
Without utilizing the tenfold amplification of Xuanyuan Sword, Zhou Yan felt his combat power increased almost tenfold at that moment!
It was simply a heaven-defying and shocking kill move.
This killing move which appeared momentary to others, seemed long and endless to Zhou Yan’s eyes.
And Zhou Yan’s targets, Su Qin and Zhang Yu, seemed locked in a shattered world by Zhou Yan’s Secret Technique Rule Power, with no way to defend.
Zhou Yan even perceived during the progress of the Sword Light, as if seeing through their body, seeing through their soul.
Saw the sudden explosion of Blood Light within them, with much Blood Qi suddenly exploding, dramatically transforming.
This transformation was originally extremely fast, but appeared exceedingly slow to Zhou Yan, like a dense bunch of blood-colored insects wriggling.
Under some inexplicable pressure, these blood-colored bugs suddenly exploded and split into endless bugs. The more the bugs multiplied, the more each bug absorbed enough power and gradually formed various ancient Bloodline Emperor Seals. The Emperor Seals, when combined, produced various Sealing Powers, various Binding Powers, and Rule Powers within the bloodline.
Zhou Yan’s eyes narrowed, for these Emperor Seals within the bloodline unmistakably reminded him of the very same Emperor Seal within his own body. In Pan Honghuang’s body, there were similar Emperor Seals, but those seals were even more complex and vast.
Moreover, Zhou Yan noticed that not only these two individuals, but everyone around him, everyone within the bloodline had such Emperor Seals, with these blood-colored bugs constantly splitting, exploding, and continuously merging into Unity.
One begets two, two begets three, three begets all things.
All things return to Unity.
This Tao, this Dao Sheng Yi, astonishingly manifested within the bloodline, with every particle, every cell, being a true Emperor Blood Bug, continually proliferating, splitting, and ceaselessly transforming and evolving into various ancient Emperor Seals.
Within everyone, there are Emperor Seals, each is a core, each embodies the true Path of Eternal Life.
The difference in the number and variety of divisions means that life cannot be immortal, but decays in incompleteness and loss.
When the speed of division is less than the speed of death, life decays.
The faster the speed of division, the more vigorous the Life Energy becomes; the more vigorous the Life Energy, the more immense the energy of life grows.
However, the speed of division devours the life’s potential. When potential is lacking, after rapid division, energy is exhausted, and then one will die!
Zhou Yan suddenly had an epiphany of the Tao. His mind abruptly sprouted three white mists, resembling the gathering of three flowers on top, like the convergence of five energies toward the original source.
In this sudden moment, it was as if he experienced eternal life in one second, as if eons passed in an instant.
Time froze as Zhou Yan’s sword pierced through the soul seas between Su Qin and Cang Yu’s brows.
"Pfft—"
A single sword transcended Space Power, penetrating the void of space, piercing Su Qin and Zhang Yu in completely different locations through their brows; what immense power is this.
The two couldn’t even muster the slightest resistance, killed directly by a single sword.
This sword, it was as if it was a stroke of genius, indescribable, because the trajectory of that sword was the trajectory of the Heavenly Dao, the rule of the Heavenly Dao!
Under the rules of the Heavenly Dao, everyone even felt that this sword was so magnificent, so beautiful, that they couldn’t even muster a thought of resistance!
Not only that, under this sword, everyone witnessed Su Qin and Zhang Yu die, eyes not closed in peace, but at the moment their brows were pierced, their bloodline withered instantly, becoming mere mummified corpses!
And moreover, this wasn’t the most shocking thing!
The most shocking thing was that after this sword was executed, Zhou Yan’s sword naturally flew back to his waist. The faint dark gold sword looked extremely ordinary and plain, but at Zhou Yan’s waist, it exuded a terrifying aura akin to that of a Supreme King.
This aura flickered and then returned to nothingness, but the power of this Sword Intent had already chilled everyone’s hearts to the core, so they could feel no thought of resistance.
Originally terrified by Zhou Yan, upon encountering such brutal and bizarre attacks, the Tianxin practitioners present, still alive, all collapsed.
Their assaults by the Demon Heart were ignored; they even felt, the Demon Heart was not terrifying because there was still a chance for survival when confronting the Demon Heart!
Yet the young man before them, seemingly plain, was even more bizarre, more terrifying than a demon, as if in killing, he wouldn’t need a second move!
"Thud—"
"Thud—"
...
A string of sounds connected together, and then many of the Tianxin practitioners all knelt, trembling, faces covered with fear, kneeling in front of Zhou Yan. Such fear, such dread emerged instinctually, needing no manifestation to be fully displayed.
And at the moment they knelt, the desiccated corpses of Su Qin and Zhang Yu suddenly crashed to the ground, turning into dust.
The two died, and not even a dry corpse could be left behind, a sign that all potential had vanished, which was also the manifestation of death with no remains, turned to ashes!
This is truly the death of the body and dissipation of the Tao, the destruction of the soul, turned to ashes!
Everyone trembled in fear; the remaining Tianxin practitioners suddenly were filled with immense regret, regretting that with a bit of power, they’d grown conceited, doing whatever they desired, even oppressing other Tianxin practitioners.
Every time before, they bullied other Tianxin practitioners, killing them, seizing their resources, and each time they saw other Tianxin practitioners kneeling and begging for mercy, they would feel inexplicably happy, a twisted thrill. Now, it was suddenly their turn, such a feeling was truly like the cycle of cause and effect, incomparably tragic.
This mental state was extremely complex, difficult to articulate.
Yet on every Tianxin practitioner’s face there was a pale expression of despair, pain, and helplessness, an expression without hope, an expression akin to complete exile.
