Chapter 1546: Chapter 70: Nine Rules of Great Perfection

After the events at Heavenly Soul Mountain, Lee Sha, due to his all hope lost mental state, ventured into Thunder Flame Breaking Path Mountain.

And when the endless thunder of Thunder Flame Breaking Path Mountain descended, Lee Sha, overwhelmed by the fierce and terrifying danger, was completely unable to guard his frail constitution, facing imminent destruction.

After this, the soul realm of Zhou Yan’s Eternal Nine Rules suddenly emerged from the center of Lee Sha’s brow, forming a complete substitution.

It was then that Zhou Yan realized he had shifted from being a mere observer to an active participant.

However, simultaneously, he also had a purpose, a very crucial purpose.

That purpose was to seize the Eternal Holy Spirit Origin of Jiang Tianxin and Jiang Tianling.

When only one realm exists, the essence of the Eternal Holy Spirit cannot be comprehended by many living beings.

If not for retaining some memories, even Zhou Yan would have been unaware of this situation.

Yet now he understands these.

Furthermore, not only does he understand these, but he also knows some deeper secrets.

In Thunder Flame Breaking Path Mountain, Zhou Yan, because of the exclusive arrival of the Eternal Nine Rules realm on Lee Sha, allowed him to become a singular Immortal Level powerhouse.

Simultaneously, even though the True Void Immortal Rule was not completely perfected, such ability placed upon Lee Sha represented an unimaginable intense transformation.

Additionally, since Zhou Yan had not lost his memories, he was very adept at utilizing the Thunderflame.

Thus, on this incomplete body of Lee Sha, rules like the Purple Flame Void were fully restored, though all these rules were based on the foundation of the True Void Monarch Immortal Rule.

Such was Zhou Yan’s transformation.

Indeed, Zhou Yan never intended to undergo such a change at this moment, but upon entering Thunder Flame Breaking Path Mountain, he found himself unable to resist doing so—as if a unique arrangement compelled him to.

It was an instinctive obsession, a drive and urge from his core.

Due to this change, Zhou Yan, or rather Lee Sha’s progress, became distinctly apparent.

In a short amount of time, having settled, Lee Sha became the ruler of this Lei Yan Continent, becoming the Lei Yan King.

Thus, Zhou Yan temporarily abandoned the name Zhou Yan and directly named himself ’Lee Yi’.

This was the life of Lee Sha, and what transpired in the life of the former Lei Yan King is unexplained by words, unreliable by any memory inheritance—one must experience it again by themselves.

Contemplating, Zhou Yan, having now controlled this Lei Yan Continent, began to perceive the existence of Thunderflame Soul Sea from the core land of Thunder Flame Breaking Path Mountain, at the end of the heavenly road in the Void core.

The Soul Sea displayed unique information like a human’s mind.

Zhou Yan discerned that this person was the once Thunder Origin Sword God Jiang Lei Yuan.

However, Jiang Lei Yuan at this moment was already withered, merely instinctively nurturing this heaven and starry sky with the Eternal Holy Spirit Origin power generationally.

Until one day, he could find solace.

Zhou Yan naturally awakened Jiang Lei Yuan, and upon awakening, Jiang Lei Yuan immediately became aware of certain information.

But confronted with Zhou Yan’s actions, he was extremely vigilant and uneasy.

Nonetheless, when Zhou Yan exhibited something akin to True Void Heavenly Prohibition’s King Immortal Principles, Jiang Lei Yuan was extraordinarily astonished, seemingly unable to believe that the Jiang family’s Lee Sha had suddenly become so powerful.

Zhou Yan took it lightly, temporarily replacing Lee Sha, yet still realized that certain events were beyond his control, often leaving him with a strange sense of déjà vu following their occurrence.

Yet, regardless of how Zhou Yan recalled or pondered, he couldn’t pinpoint where or when he had encountered the event.

Previously, such occurrences were infrequent, but now they were becoming almost constant.

Zhou Yan understood that something had undoubtedly caused a change, and if he could genuinely replace Lee Sha, then very likely the last bit of insight into True Void Heavenly Prohibition of King’s Rules could be breakthrough, and hence step into King Realm.

This was merely Zhou Yan’s hypothesis, yet he was certain that this hypothesis defined the ultimate purpose of his journey.

The Thunder Origin Sword God, Jiang Lei Yuan, was in dire circumstances, and after Zhou Yan restored him to some extent with Thunderflame Power, Jiang Lei Yuan awoke to Zhou Yan’s peculiar requests.

While stating those requests, Zhou Yan would portray a result of oblivion, but he clearly understood that these directives were intricately related to Jiang Lei Yuan’s assistance in the Soul Burying Starfield whether in the future or past concerning Zhou Yan.

Meanwhile, time was gradually slipping away in such a muddled state. Lei Yan King and Jiang Lei Yuan completed some agreements and exhibited True Void King’s Immortal Principles, granting Jiang Lei Yuan certain illusory perceptions, making him feel things were even more complicated.

Such actions were beyond Zhou Yan’s understanding, but everything was driven by an instinct.

However, as these occurrences multiplied, Zhou Yan encountered an injured White Fox and performed a rescue act; he then, amidst vagueness, arrived at an indescribable breakthrough one day.

Within this breakthrough, Zhou Yan’s True Void Monarch Immortal Rule reached the peak of the Ninth Principle Ninth Layer, lacking merely the last breakthrough thread.

In that state, Zhou Yan genuinely started occupying all Lee Sha’s states, thereby truly drawing close to Lei Yan King.

However, this process caused some discordant changes, and Zhou Yan vaguely sensed that time was genuinely scarce; unknown dangers were lurking, likely to descend anytime, so in this unknown world, Zhou Yan could only advance with the most savage means.

Such advancement was devour.

It meant the savage technique of devouring the origin of endless living beings.

With the existence of Lee Sha, Zhou Yan traversed through the Void major planes of this unknown world and everywhere he went, life would be depleted, turning entirely into corpses.

And those corpses, after existing for a while, would vanish mysteriously, no one knew their whereabouts.

After Zhou Yan devoured endless lives, the last wisp of transformation finally began to emerge.

But due to the influence of devouring, the Blood Origin brought about a new Life Soul Body within the incompletely controlled Lee Sha’s physique.

```

This soul body should be the fundamental origin of the Evil Venerate.

It is also the basis of the Blood Demon Monster.

Zhou Yan used the One Qi Three Purities technique to transform this Blood Demon into a blood-red avatar. Then, Zhou Yan devoured the planet, simultaneously harvesting the Yin Spirit Origin of various strange female life forms to complete his final transformation.

This process left behind many extremely tragic events.

Among them was a scene involving Mu Qingyan, just like the one that happened in Zhou Yan’s memory.

To nurture a unique offspring, and also due to some inexplicable True Void memories, Zhou Yan set his sights on Mu Qingyan—after all, Mu Qingyan was the Princess of the Ice and Snow Palace, a King Evil Spirit.

Later, as if experiencing a transformation of space-time, after Zhou Yan absorbed Lee Sha’s origin, he left behind the infamous reputation of Lei Yan King due to his ruthlessness and ferocity.

Eventually, no one knew how much time had passed, and Zhou Yan finally completed his last bit of transformation, cultivating the True Void Heavenly Prohibition to the ultimate Great Perfection.

In such a state, it was equivalent to completing the King’s Immortal Principle to Great Perfection.

Zhou Yan completely replaced Lee Sha.

The loss of Lee Sha’s Immortal Evil Soul no longer had any impact.

At this point, Zhou Yan finally became truly conscious.

However, in this moment of consciousness, he had already memorized many things that happened during this time.

Thus, Zhou Yan reluctantly came to the Netherworld Ancient City, temporarily suppressing Mu Qingyan’s memories and eliminating the painful and sorrowful memories.

Simultaneously, he resolved Yanyan’s resentment towards him due to Mu Qingyan’s teachings.

After that, when Zhou Yan intended to do more, the void underwent a series of changes. Members of the Jiang family had noticed Zhou Yan’s powerful transformation and immediately prepared to target him.

Nevertheless, Zhou Yan was waiting for this moment.

Immediately, Zhou Yan struck first, directly escaping from the Soul Burying Starfield and appearing where the Jiang family was located on the True God Plane.

Thereafter, Zhou Yan challenged Jiang Tianxin and Jiang Tianling from the Jiang family.

The two had always underestimated Zhou Yan and did not care about a battle with him—even though they knew ’Lee Sha’ had become Lei Yan King, they never thought Lee Sha could become so formidable.

This battle thus commenced.

Zhou Yan unleashed the Endless True Void Sky Forbidden King Rule, and upon understanding it, he manifested it as once True Void, once small world, ten times True Void a big world.

However, regardless of whether it was the small world or the big world, once Jiang Tianxin and Jiang Tianling sank into it, they were fundamentally unable to escape.

After calculating everything, Zhou Yan struck mercilessly, directly suppressing Jiang Tianxin’s and Jiang Tianling’s Eternal Holy Spirits, while employing the most basic Swallowing Technique to start devouring their Eternal Holy Spirits.

This process was naturally extremely tragic, yet extraordinarily magnificent.

During Zhou Yan’s devouring, he was blood-red all over, his hair extended thousands of feet, creating a spectacle akin to a blood-colored waterfall.

Not only did Zhou Yan become so, but even the Evil Venerate of the blood-red avatar was greatly empowered due to the influence.

Despite the Jiang family’s powerful Holy Spirit being capable of hindering them, Zhou Yan quickly devoured and refined Jiang Tianling and Jiang Tianxin in a brief time, thus making any prevention futile and too late.

Under such circumstances, Zhou Yan ultimately completed the refinement of Jiang Tianxin and Jiang Tianling without too high a cost.

Subsequently, Zhou Yan once again became bewildered. He couldn’t perceive many changes anymore.

However, when Zhou Yan regained consciousness once more, he was no longer Lee Sha but had returned to Zhou Wangchen’s side.

On the horizon, it was still the end of the Heavenly Road, as if the words Zhou Wangchen previously said to Zhou Yan had not completely dissipated.

"Yan’er, you’ve succeeded, faster and more perfect than I imagined."

"Now, congratulations on achieving the Nine Great Perfection of the Nine Rules and Nine Layers, only one step away from becoming a true King’s Realm Holy Spirit."

"And that step is a series of unresolved heart issues."

"This may sound difficult, but in fact, it is simple. We will all cooperate with you."

Zhou Wangchen gently said.

His tone was always so kind, filled with encouragement and praise.

Such looks always moved Zhou Yan.

"Father, what happened at Buzhou Mountain? I feel..."

Zhou Yan pondered for a long time but couldn’t even describe Buzhou Mountain.

"It may not exist in reality, so whatever happens doesn’t matter. What’s important is that you devoured the origin of Jiang Tianxin and Jiang Tianling, and that is enough."

Zhou Wangchen chuckled.

Zhou Yan couldn’t help but smile as well.

"Let’s go; now, begin the first step—I’ll take you to meet Mu Qingyan, then let Feng Zishuang truly awaken."

"These two should be your greatest regrets in this life, and these two regrets can be resolved and perfectly resolved."

Zhou Wangchen gazed intently at Zhou Yan, his expression somewhat solemn as he spoke.
