Chapter 1543: Chapter 67: The End of the Holy Spirit

This is direct killing intent, and it is targeted suppression. Two Great True Holy Spirits are suppressing Zhou Yan, who is currently a Half-Sacred Spirit, deploying an ancient Killing Dao that Zhou Yan cannot comprehend or remember.

How terrifying this Killing Dao is!

Zhou Yan was inwardly alarmed, immediately aware that he should not engage Jiang Tianling and Jiang Tianxin within this Space-Time. It was not out of fear, but because any change here might cause him to lose the qualification for cultivation, Zhou Yan knew that making any progress or transformation would be very difficult.

Opportunity lost is opportunity never regained.

So almost without another thought, Zhou Yan immediately retreated from this place.

Although he has not yet crossed into the Eighth Realm of the Eternal Nine Rules, he is not far off.

Moreover, after retreating, there is another opportunity to re-enter.

At that moment, Zhou Yan’s whole body shuddered, and at the instant of the crushing blow, he left that region.

Subsequently, Zhou Yan sensed the Primordial Magnetic Pole Light at the Holy Spirit Land trembling slightly, evidently affected by the intense impact.

This situation suffices to showcase the frightening nature of that strike.

Jiang Tianling and Jiang Tianxin carried the Golden Armor Battleship, a killer blow with terrifying power!

Zhou Yan took a deep breath, adjusted his state, and after reaching a peak state, he re-entered the core area of the Emotion Dao.

Sure enough, upon re-entering, the time axis seemed to have altered slightly. The battle in the Abyss still persisted, but Zhou Yan did not sense it, and without so much as a glance, he immediately concealed all of his own states, not disturbing this unknown existence.

Engaging in combat with the Holy Spirits of this Space-Time is truly an act only a madman would pursue.

Zhou Yan knows deeply that his main aim is to become a King, and everything else can be temporarily put aside.

With such a mindset, Zhou Yan was cautious for a moment, and after not sensing danger, Zhou Yan continued to toil in his cultivation, breaking through to the Eighth Realm of the Eternal Nine Rules in one go. He bypassed the battle between Jiang Tianling and Jiang Tianxin and continued to delve into the next world.

Zhou Yan speculated that even if he changes direction and steps into another singular Holy Spirit World, it might have little effect.

Without the powerful impact of energy origin, attempting to transform through the subsequent Eighth and Ninth Layers would be so arduous it would make one cough blood.

The dual births of Emotion Dao origin had transformed Zhou Yan’s realm to its extreme, but the Emotional Dao King’s Seal remained perfectly harmonious, seemingly far from its limit.

And after stepping into the next world, Zhou Yan sensed that it was still the origin of the Emotion Dao.

It was still the origin of the Affectionate Sword Dao and Lifeless Sword Dao.

Yet within this origin, Zhou Yan vaguely felt that there was something more.

Zhou Yan pondered, then sensed this independent, singular Space of the Land of Living Beings, and sensed towards the Abyss.

While sensing towards it, Zhou Yan seemed to have entered a special world, a world of ice and snow, but it was not a Cold Ice Origin.

It was merely an Ice Peak world.

Cold ice, among other things, were just embellishments.

At the summit of this world’s snow peak, Zhou Yan saw Zhou Wangchen, saw Li Sunv.

Zhou Wangchen carried a sword on his back, a sword as fine as jade.

Zhou Yan recognized that sword, it was the Heavenly Evil Sword.

And Li Sunv held a wooden carving, the engravings lifelike.

The carving depicted a statue of a blind and armless woman.

The two faced each other, not making a move.

But the powerful Holy Spirit origin aura continuously raged between the two.

This was a battle, as well as a transformation of Emotion Dao.

Yet this Emotion Dao was the Affectionate Sword Dao, the Lifeless Killing Dao, and also the Wuwei Doctrine of the Mean.

Within which, Zhou Wangchen embodied the Dual Birth Saint Spirit Path, while Li Sunv appeared to be singularly the Lifeless Killing Dao, yet also contained another kind of element.

Zhou Yan pondered deeply, and after a long time, Zhou Yan’s whole body shuddered, retracting his sensing power.

For he was almost discovered.

He did not wish to be exposed at this moment.

At that moment, Zhou Yan also thought of the outcome—Li Sunv was also the Dual Birth Saint Spirit Path, but aside from the Lifeless Dao, it also included the Evil Spirit Dao of Destruction.

And this Space is a high-level composite Holy Spirit Space.

Here is the battlefield of the Emotion Dao Sacred Spirit Seal and the Evil Spirit Destruction Mark, also the battleground of two antagonistic King’s Marks.

So then, how should one refine the rules and King’s Marks here?

Is it to overlay and transform on the basis of the Emotional Dao King’s Mark, or establish a new Evil Spirit Mark?

Zhou Yan was once again at a loss.

But this time, Zhou Yan thought of the Heavenly Pool Thunder Marsh Land, thought of Hou Chen’s situation in that singular space.

In that world, upon further reflection, Zhou Yan understood that it contained not only thunder, but also the origins of water and blood, yet all served Hou Chen, able to be absorbed and refined by him.

Then...

"Perhaps, transforming into an infant, focusing on being gentle, and instinctively discerning the direction of absorption in the form of a Soul Embryo."

Zhou Yan contemplated in his heart, and then he immediately proceeded to do so.

During this process, Zhou Yan progressed rapidly, and he was fully able to complete the accumulation in realm and the transformation in strength.

Similar to the previous series of experiences, this time, Zhou Yan’s progress was equally significant.

However, when Zhou Yan crossed into the early stage of the Eternal Nine Rules Ninth Layer, the passage of time far exceeded that of other Holy Spirit Lands.

Zhou Yan could clearly sense that this time there was no turning back for him.

Because after the cultivation was complete, Zhou Yan had already sensed that he was inexplicably time-locked.

Locked by time-space, also locked by the Immortal King’s Rule, locked by the rule beyond immortality.

At that moment, coincidentally, the battle between Zhou Wangchen and Li Suniu also reached an extreme state.

The space of the Holy Spirit Land where the two were located began to collapse.

The collision of spaces formed a destructive aura that could seize heaven and earth.

The aura lashed at the heavens and earth, blasting this unique composite Holy Spirit Land.

"Boom—"

At that moment, Zhou Yan didn’t have time to retreat and was instantly struck by the forceful power to an extreme, shaking Zhou Yan’s half-step Monarch Holy Spirit to the point of trembling uncontrollably.

Under such an impact, the powerful abilities Zhou Yan had just established were nearly dismantled directly.

Zhou Yan had not anticipated this situation, but his gaze was still fixed firmly on the source of the battle—Zhou Wangchen and Li Suniu.

Their battle, incredibly, shattered the Holy Spirit Land at this moment.

Massive unknown destructive energy swept across the sky, and Zhou Yan immediately sensed the endless aura of annihilation amid the sky.

Within the aura of annihilation, Zhou Yan felt cold all over, uncontrollably generating extremely strong negative emotions one after another.

Zhou Yan’s mood became oppressive as a result.

At this moment, Zhou Wangchen and Li Suniu rushed out of the Holy Spirit Land, and amid their intense battle, they unexpectedly induced the arrival of an ancient city from beyond the void, which descended with a thunderous crash onto the void of this unknown Holy Spirit Land.

The descended enormous ancient city was precisely the Sacrificial Heaven Ancient City that Zhou Yan was extremely familiar with.

But this time, when Zhou Yan saw the Sacrificial Heaven Ancient City, he knew at a glance that this was the true Sacrificial Heaven Ancient City.

Because after just one look, Zhou Yan realized that he could never forget this profound and striking scene for the rest of his life.

Having seen so many Sacrificial Heaven Ancient Cities, it was this time that Zhou Yan’s heart could not remain calm for a long time.

After the majestic Sacrificial Heaven Ancient City descended, myriad Life Ancient Trees appeared between heaven and earth.

Each Life Ancient Tree, formed from the origins of terrifying kings, was filled with vast Ancient Life Energy.

Amid the Ancient Life Energy, clusters of the Ancient Life Clan’s Holy Spirits appeared.

The Life Ancient Trees and the Ancient Life Clan’s Holy Spirits seemed to form camps, sometimes appearing simultaneously, sometimes flying out from the Life Ancient Trees.

And among these Holy Spirits of the Ancient Life Clan, Zhou Yan immediately saw Zhou Lingyi.

However, among them, besides Zhou Lingyi, there were Feng Zishuang, Zhou Ying, Zhou Sisi, Zhou Qianqian, and others, as well as many women whom Zhou Yan was not familiar with present.

This scene also gave rise to many doubts in Zhou Yan’s heart.

While Zhou Yan was focusing on this scene, he sensed forces of tearing trying to pull him away from the space of this Holy Spirit Land, so Zhou Yan had to strengthen his resistance, hoping to linger a bit longer in this place.

In the Holy Spirit Land, even if no realm transformation occurred, staying a while longer was ultimately beneficial.

Not to mention, at this time, this Holy Spirit Land had already revealed many foundational secrets.

These secrets were extremely important to Zhou Yan.

The process of Zhou Yan’s resistance was not easy, but eventually, he temporarily endured the resistance.

However, because the battle between Zhou Wangchen and Li Suniu continued, the duration of this resistance was unlikely to be long.

When the pressure grew increasingly intense, the heavens and earth suddenly shattered, and then endless Black Water poured down from the void.

This ink-black Black Water, like a river pouring backward, inundated this composite origin of the Holy Spirit Land in an instant, and the endless Black Water pierced through Zhou Yan’s soul body and Eternal Half-Saint Spirit as if Zhou Yan did not exist.

But this Black Water drowned the Sacrificial Heaven Ancient City, Life Ancient Trees, and even Zhou Wangchen, Li Suniu, Zhou Lingyi, Feng Zishuang, Zhou Sisi, and all other appearing Holy Spirits.

Everything in heaven and earth was all turned into a void, yet Zhou Yan stood alone within the void.

At that moment, Zhou Yan felt a sense of being rejected by the rules, and simultaneously experienced an epiphany of existential understanding.

The realm of the Eternal Nine Rules Ninth Layer stabilized instantly due to this enlightenment.

Although the transformation of this Ninth Layer had only just begun, this realm was already the pinnacle of Zhou Yan’s efforts.

The Holy Spirit Land shattered as Zhou Yan fell like a Holy Spirit into the endless abyss of darkness, doomed to eternal perdition.

"Boom—"

The unknown domain shattered, annihilated, with endless fantasy real void presenting scenes like life experiences in Zhou Yan’s memory.

Ultimately, Zhou Yan lay on an unknown, desolate, and dim ground, his mood sinking to an extreme depth.
