The Venerable Xuan Mo has fallen, and naturally, all his resources have dropped.

However, Zhou Yan suddenly discovered that the Xuanyuan Sword experienced a special oscillating change.

Zhou Yan's eyes focused, almost instantly locking onto the Xuanyuan Sword. Immediately, Emperor Qi from the Xuanyuan Sword Fragment suppressed the Xuan Mo Sword Soul.

After suppression and devouring, Zhou Yan's expression remained grave. He retrieved Xuan Mo Venerable's Qiankun Ring and took from it a unique Crystal Heart.

According to what Xuan Mo Venerable and Tian Ku Venerable had previously stated, this Crystal Heart was the Void Spirit condensed by Tian Ku Venerable, intended for the Soul Loss of the Speech Spirit Heavenly Girl from the Nine Origin.

Zhou Yan held this item, pondering deeply.

After a brief moment, Zhou Yan incorporated this item into his Soul Sea, while also searching Xuan Mo Venerable's other resources.

During the search, Zhou Yan found a unique area map, which recorded various terrains within the Holy Spirit Barrier area. Among them, a place called the 'Abyss of Suppression' was marked with a special mark, a sword-shaped seal.

Upon seeing this mark, the Xuanyuan Sword trembled once more.

"Are there Xuanyuan Sword Fragments here? Could it be another nine pieces? The Xuanyuan Sword already has seventy-two fragments, if we find nine more, it would reach the number of eighty-one fragments, immediately restoring over fifty percent of its broken state!"

"Furthermore, the number ninety-nine represents the Supreme, but it's unclear whether it refers to ninety-nine fragments or a ratio of nine fragments to nine quantities."

"Yet, the Speech Spirit Xuanyuan Sword Fragment guided me here, coincidentally encountering the Venerable battle and the Speech Spirit Heavenly Girl captive... Could there be a more coincidental coincidence?"

Zhou Yan inwardly chuckled bitterly.

He hadn't had the chance to be a good person for a few days, and now he must play the villain again.

However, this Speech Spirit Heavenly Girl... is indeed an enemy of the Sky Demon Race. Zhou Yan felt no pressure, preparing to take her down and directly refine her as a Ding Furnace.

Zhou Yan locked onto the Abyss of Suppression, then refined all the energy from Xuan Mo Venerable's Spirit to enhance his combat power to the limit.

Zhou Yan did not dismiss his Break Eight combat power but transformed into a Fifth Realm Venerable Crystal-boned Yin Spirit, the so-called 'Heavenly Demon,' while lifting the forbidden array and swiftly flying toward the Abyss of Suppression.

Because, when slaying Xuan Mo Venerable, Zhou Yan discovered something unfavorable—Xuan Mo Venerable's main body died, but he had an avatar, not fully severed from the Xuanyuan Evil Soul. This was also why Zhou Yan instantly made this series of decisions.

If Zhou Yan's speculation is correct, Xuan Mo Venerable would do two things: the first is to hunt him down, Zhou Yan, and slay him. This scenario has a low probability.

The second is to take away the Speech Spirit Heavenly Girl, who should have been trapped in the Abyss of Suppression, and then escape and hide.

This second possibility is, in fact, higher.

Therefore, Zhou Yan must quickly head to that place.

He struck instantly, exhausting all means, catching Xuan Mo Venerable off guard, but Xuan Mo Venerable would never think Zhou Yan's combat power inherently strong, assuming it was some powerful trump card technique exploding.

Thus, this is Zhou Yan's only chance to slay Xuan Mo Venerable's avatar again.

Moreover, with Xuan Mo Venerable's main body dead, the avatar's abilities drastically decrease. Even if the avatar had some means and Xuan Mo Venerable's methods suggested 'a cunning rabbit has three burrows,' it posed no threat to Zhou Yan, whose current combat power rivals Tai Chu Heavenly Venerate.

However, this person must not escape, or some secrets won't be kept.

Zhou Yan, like a ray of light, left immediately, while leaving a Soul Split at the place of the forbidden array to guard, also leaving a foundation.

If Xuan Mo Venerable left any vitality here, it would similarly be slain by the avatar, with no way to survive.

Zhou Yan calculated meticulously in all aspects, and the remaining avatar Dao Body concealed deeply, ensuring it wouldn't be discovered.

Long after Zhou Yan's main body left, this piece of Heaven and Earth remained undisturbed, but shortly after, the once-dead Tian Ku Venerable, like a thief, shakily arrived here.

"Hmm? Xuan Mo Venerable is dead? Tsk tsk, truly brought it upon himself! But... if I weren't resurrected, how could the Speech Spirit Heavenly Girl be saved?"

"The Abyss of Suppression requires a large amount of Venerable Soul Energy; the more Venerables sent to their deaths, the better, otherwise how will the Speech Spirit Heavenly Girl be fed?"

Tian Ku Venerable muttered to himself, speaking, his figure flashed, and he immediately disappeared.

After a while, an area of blood on the ground began to flow suddenly; then, an avatar suddenly projected here, and Xuan Mo Venerable's figure condensed here.

This is the method of projecting an avatar from the main body.

After the main body died, leaving behind the Spirit, one drop of Essence Blood stronger than the others, after condensing some Soul Energy, could project the avatar into the main body's Essence Blood.

This is Xuan Mo Venerable's method, his trump card technique.

He has used this method multiple times to die and resurrect.

And his enemies never knew of this technique.

"Tian Ku indeed... has reserves, and that Zhou Yan, he made me underestimate, each craftier and more vicious than the other, but Zhou Yan, after all, is too inexperienced, has still fallen into Tian Ku's calculations. I must have another avatar project over, go to the Abyss of Suppression to die, deceive them, then strike when Zhou Yan or Tian Ku are careless."

"This Zhou Yan really deserves to die, he instantly shattered my main body, almost shaking my avatar to death, truly terrifying means. It seems he has used the Immortal attack of the Xuanyuan Evil Sword."

Xuan Mo Venerable's avatar pondered here for a moment and then vanished without a trace.

Then, gusts of cold wind blew past, and everything here returned to silence.

No one came here anymore, only the Heavenly Demons and Void Spirits occasionally wandering in the silence.

"These old guys... truly none of them are easy to deal with, but that Tian Ku, he was clearly dead in an instant, without any aura remaining, how did he appear again as an avatar?"

"I sensed that this Xuan Mo had an avatar that wasn't dead, but that Tian Ku was truly dead... could it be... the one who died was merely a clone made by Tian Ku's own means? To replace him in death and thereby trap the Venerable? Or perhaps... Speech Spirit Heavenly Girl, is Tian Ku actually colluding with Speech Spirit Heavenly Girl?!"

Zhou Yan's main body was about to reach the Abyss of the Domain, yet he was thoughtfully analyzing.

The next moment, combining all the information, Zhou Yan immediately deduced a terrifying outcome — Tian Ku and Speech Spirit Heavenly Girl had colluded, Speech Spirit Heavenly Girl's injury was a pretense, and she must have known a means similar to transformation, setting up an identical clone for Tian Ku, allowing him to go out and die repeatedly, then leaving news of Speech Spirit Heavenly Girl to lure the Venerable into the trap.

However, this time, the original Xuan Mo Venerable was about to fall for it, but Zhou Yan intervened, thus escaping a calamity instead.

"Hiss—"

Zhou Yan deduced this series of terrible traps, and for a moment, the whole person shivered with a chill.

If not for having left a hidden base at the time of the Forbidden Array's destruction to channel the array's energy underground, thus hiding a clone there, Zhou Yan might also have been calculated against this time.

"Indeed, this Heavenly Demon Land is exceptionally dangerous, with crises lurking everywhere, where all sorts of combat and injuries might all be false, erupting with the threat of death at the slightest provocation."

Zhou Yan concentrated and held his breath, as the Heavenly Demon he transformed into traversed to the Abyss of the Domain, Zhou Yan derived a soul power within, integrating it with a Merit Power, a Heavenly Mechanism Power, and a Luck Power, cutting a soul of himself, directly appearing in the void.

Then, Zhou Yan's Soul-cutting Avatar performed the Xingyi Rebirth technique on himself. In an instant, this soul quickly recovered, and in just a moment, reached about thirty percent of Zhou Yan's combat power, a power comparable to the Fifth Realm of Yuanshi Tianzun in the Venerate Realm.

This Zhou Yan in the void, holding the Xuanyuan Sword, advanced forward, while Zhou Yan's main body seemed ignorant of the scene, still wandering at the entrance of the Abyss of the Domain like a confused Heavenly Demon.

The Tao body Zhou Yan was cloaked by the Concealing Technique, and after entering the Abyss of the Domain, he immediately rushed towards a certain place deep in the abyss.

"Has come."

Said a seductive and cold woman with incomparable arrogance.

"Yes, I know. Should I change to look like Xuan Mo Venerable?"

"No need, I have suppressed another Venerable Soul Avatar of Xuan Mo Venerable, severing its sensing. The one that thinks it's its own avatar is the Void Speech Soul Avatar I released."

"Ah—doesn't Xuan Mo Venerable know this?"

Tian Ku Venerable exclaimed.

"He is overly confident; when a Divine spirit killed his clone, and the clone was nearly destroyed, I took the opportunity to act. He just thought that the avatar had suffered damage so it wasn't responsive enough. Hmm, just let Xuan Mo's avatar face that Zhou Yan. The Divine Realm holds little benefit for me.

But his ability to conceal at will yet remain beyond calculations and his methods of counting against Xuan Mo Venerable are indeed impressive.

Sadly, you humans are all useless, instead of protecting such a genius, you bring him here to die."

The woman spoke with endless sarcasm.

But Tian Ku Venerable merely smiled, "I live life to the fullest; why should it matter who dies, as long as it's not me?"

"Haha, quite so."

The arrogant woman laughed disdainfully, her cold and beautiful face full of contempt.

Her entire being seemed carved from ice crystal, yet was inexplicably exotic, unlike any normal woman.

"Hmm, you step back first, and I will set a trap later to capture this Zhou Yan. I want to see what's so extraordinary about him that he can avoid being plotted against."

As the haughty woman spoke, she suddenly waved her hand of cold ice, immediately bringing forth the suppressed Venerable Soul Avatar of Xuan Mo Venerable. He then wielded another powerful sword, instantly hiding himself.

Then Speech Spirit Heavenly Girl, as if locked in chains of order, completely lost her ability, as if heavily afflicted with Soul Loss.

After these changes, suddenly from afar came a gust of wind, and within the hurricane, the Tao body Zhou Yan, like a ray of light, suddenly arrived here.

He saw Speech Spirit Heavenly Girl, his eyes suddenly brightening, seemingly murmuring to himself, "Luckily, I made it in time, otherwise, it would have been terrible."

He spoke, reaching out to grab, directly towards Speech Spirit Heavenly Girl, as if trying to take her away.

But the chains of order on Speech Spirit Heavenly Girl held her firmly in place, like the chains in the Blood River that once held Wan Hun Ancestor Wan Jian Tian.

Zhou Yan seemed a bit surprised, then he concentrated and held his breath, coming near Speech Spirit Heavenly Girl, pondering something closely.

And at this moment, the concealed Venerable Soul Avatar of Xuan Mo suddenly launched a terrifying attack!

A smile touched the corner of Tao body Zhou Yan's mouth, yet he turned immediately, unleashing a formidable strike, overpowering Xuan Mo Venerable in an instant.

Simultaneously, Speech Spirit Heavenly Girl suddenly acted too.
