Evil Venerable of the Sword Dao-Chapter 1353 - 95: Life Soul and Guardian

In the Tai Chu Rune, some of the growth history of the Life Ancient Tree was engraved, as if the life rings of the Life Ancient Tree were engraved on these stone walls.

The stone wall is like a tombstone, yet more like a Door of Eternal Life. Once you pass through this door, it seems you can obtain the endless Life Energy within the Life Ancient Tree and directly transform into an Immortal.

This is merely a judgment; in reality, Zhou Yan does not know if this is true.

However, as he hesitated, a figure appeared in the Void, descending directly in front of the unintelligent elf with flashing Light Wings. At the same time, a unique transparent chip flew out and embedded into the forehead of the fluttering Light-winged elf.

The body of the Light-winged elf trembled violently in the Void, its face was full of expressions of fear, loneliness, solitude, and confusion. These expressions gradually faded as the chip changed, replaced by a visage of indifference, coldness, and unparalleled beauty.

The moment this visage appeared, Zhou Yan’s heart was suddenly shaken, but he couldn’t influence anything happening here because he was just a projection, a projection through the long river of time, a Time Origin projection.

Moreover, this projection burned away Heavenly Mechanism, Qi Fortune, and Merit Power — all of Zhou Yan’s foundational strength.

Yet Zhou Yan did not regret doing so at all.

For Yanyan, to escape the perilous Netherworld Heavenly Road, to ensure Yanyan and Liu Haoxin and others could become the final surviving Summoned ones, Zhou Yan had no other choice.

He had to give it his all, sparing no luck, to strive for a way out.

For this reason, even though he was witnessing a colossal secret, Zhou Yan did not show any unusual emotions. This was a projection land of Time Origin, and if it fluctuated, Zhou Yan would be detached from here, and those ancient secrets would be entirely invisible.

At this moment, Zhou Yan saw the Light-winged Woman gradually form her own phantom, creating a Light-winged Woman with transparent wings. The appearance of this Light-winged Woman was precisely Jiang Yuning, and the male figure holding the chip also turned around to face the Light-winged Elf Woman at this time.

The Light-winged Elf Woman was not wearing clothes at the moment, her divine body ********, the proportions reached an extreme, with no hair on her body, and her crystal-like jade body revealed a breathtaking beauty.

This beauty was starkly exposed in front of that man.

But the man seemed not to notice this at all; he just communicated with the elf woman using purely Tai Chu Rune. Their conversation was inaudible to others.

However, by reading their lip movements, Zhou Yan easily deciphered this exchange.

"You, Yamina, remember the name of the Law Enforcer who bestowed the Immortal ability upon you — Lee Yi, also known as the Eternal Thunder Lord, Emperor Lei Yan."

"My King, Yamina has imprinted the King’s name and the King’s wisdom in her heart."

Yamina said respectfully.

"The Life Reincarnation Sacred Land is the last guarding land, the final Inheritance Land. For the future, I must seal a portion of my memory to forget the grand scheme I unleashed here. So afterward, I will activate the Thunder Blood within me, using the sealing power of my Bloodline to lock the Door of Eternal Life of various elf lands.

Bloodlines can be vast, and elves have inheritance. As the mother, the path ahead you must walk on your own."

The man said.

The elf woman Yamina pondered for a moment and said, "I don’t have the ability to seal the Door of Eternal Life."

"I will give you one of my Three Souls and Seven Spirits, an Eternal Soul to nurture you, helping you tread the endless path—though there is a serious flaw: in the future, you will lose yourself, driven madly in love with me. But you know, as a Law Enforcer, it is impossible for me to have any emotions."

"So, in the end, it will be an endless tragedy, cruel to you, and to me, it doesn’t matter. Because if you don’t accept, I can directly create a brand-new Eternal Elf."

The man’s voice was cold.

"King, everything of yours is what Yamina protects, so why wouldn’t I accept it? Moreover, Yamina believes some things are not absolute. The Life Soul of the King is in Yamina’s heart, so Yamina’s emotions are the King’s emotions. After refining through the dust of three lives and three worlds, some things are destined to change."

"Yes, I know this, so I want you to establish the Elf Eternal Life Rules; these rules do not allow other elf bloodlines to be emotionally linked with my descendants, but they will form shackles for you. Of course, after the sealing, our memories will disappear, and the unknown will be left to the Fate we have always controlled."

The man slightly pondered, his words tinged with melancholy.

"Fate, what is fate? The Eternal Spirit that thinks it holds Fate is actually always controlled by Fate. Endless time is not Fate; endless life is not Eternal Life, because endlessness does not represent true eternity."

Yamina said calmly.

But this exchange ended here because, at that moment, the man released a unique Tao, a unique Soul Power, and then with one hand, severed his own soul.

This is the Soul Cutting Skill.

Within the light screen, Zhou Yan always believed that the Soul Cutting Skill he created, and the many insights he gained, were innovations that he suddenly and creatively developed.

But witnessing this scene, a bitter smile appeared on his face—it seemed that many so-called inspirations had actually been used by him many ages ago.

Now, they were merely awakenings of inspiration and instinctual sensing.

While Zhou Yan pondered deeply in his heart, he continued to observe those changes.

Time Origin might be the most remarkable means of exploring ancient secrets.

However, regarding this exploration, Zhou Yan’s heart was filled with some degree of concern.

Because one person had not appeared—Hua Qiudao.

Whether in terms of merit, heavenly mechanism, or Qi fortune, Hua Qiudao far surpassed Zhou Yan. Zhou Yan worried that once this truth, which should not be known, was discovered by Hua Qiudao, what would the outcome be?

This was unimaginable, yet Zhou Yan had no choice at this moment but to carry on, holding on to that sliver of his true heart.

However, sometimes, good things do not come true, and bad things, even if the chance is exceedingly low, often tend to happen.

At this moment, energy flow in the space had become abnormal, and Zhou Yan distinctly sensed a power not belonging to him probing towards here.

Just as Zhou Yan felt a tightening in his heart, in the distance, the man, Emperor Lei Yan, had already grasped his own soul, embedding it into Yamina’s body. Simultaneously, Yamina began to comprehend this soul, using it as the main body to initiate the unlocking of Emperor Lei Yan’s blood. By the texture changes in the bloodline, she started bestowing a sealing energy on every Door of Eternal Life with the power of life.

As these sealing energies began to attach, the Light Gate immediately changed. Zhou Yan instinctively remembered the order of the process of blessing those gates, this order was exactly the route Yanyan had previously arranged for Zhou Yan to walk. In other words, it was a safe order, the safe path forward.

However, during a certain link within this order, Emperor Lei Yan thoughtfully glanced in the direction of Zhou Yan, and after that glance, Zhou Yan’s consciousness instantly blurred, his will becoming slightly dazed.

Zhou Yan lost his consciousness for a moment, and after waking up a bit, both Emperor Lei Yan and Yamina were pale, and the blessing order was entirely completed. At this moment, Zhou Yan could no longer see the subsequent answers.

Unable to see the answers, Emperor Lei Yan also forgot everything at this moment. After waking up a bit more, he inexplicably rubbed his head, then with a hand stretched into the void, he grasped a unique blood-red throne, disappearing instantly.

Meanwhile, Yamina flew towards one of the life trees.

The Tree of Life suddenly magnified, and Zhou Yan saw it, it was a life ancient tree of the Elf Race, larger than a planet, a life ancient tree.

On the ancient tree, many branches bore fruit, and those fruits turned out to be enormous planets.

Zhou Yan took a breath of cold air in shock, seemingly understanding the true origin of the Life Race, which is the Returning True Clan, also known as the Elf Eternal Life Clan.

While Zhou Yan was shocked, Yamina also disappeared, and this heaven and earth began to be shrouded in endless Blood Qi, bringing about a series of changes.

However, within these changes, another figure appeared, a figure Zhou Yan was also familiar with, as this figure was Lee Ran.

After Lee Ran’s appearance, he stepped correctly to the place where Zhou Yan lost his transient memory. Here, he could not determine the path ahead, and disappointment was clearly written on his face.

But thereafter, he exhibited the art of form transformation, and the Soul Power of various War Beast forms began to spread, dissipating onto the stone walls of the various light gates, forming unique form War Beast Soul Power auras on the walls.

Once these War Beast Beast Soul auras were imprinted onto the Light Gate, they appeared like engravings on it, manifesting vividly lifelike patterns.

However, these patterns existed for several breaths before they disappeared into the Light Gate, vanishing from sight.

Lee Ran seemed to be calculating something, and after a while, he seemed to have derived the result, so he suddenly looked up towards the place where Zhou Yan was.

It seemed that across time and space, Zhou Yan and Lee Ran’s eyes met each other.

But it was very clear that Zhou Yan noticed, Lee Ran merely sensed something, and his eyes did not focus, so he could not see Zhou Yan’s true existence.

"My disciple? No matter what, you must persevere, trust me, trust yourself."

Lee Ran murmured, then vanished with a gentle smile on his face.

Zhou Yan felt inexplicably puzzled in his heart, with indescribable confusion arising.

However, he remained unmoved, silently watching.
