Evil Venerable of the Sword Dao

Chapter 183: Half the Truth


In this world, often the ferocious fear even more ferocious ones.

And often, the proud will bow before those even prouder.

Zhou Yan's words were like a sharp sword, piercing deeply into the heart of the Speech Spirit Heavenly Girl, rendering her incapable of discerning anything in an instant.

These words, each a precious gem, penetrate to the bone, thunderous and enlightening, making it impossible for anyone to refute them.

Yet, a woman's pride, a woman's dignity still drove the Speech Spirit Heavenly Girl to resist.

Though she was already stripped of her dignity, humiliated before Zhou Yan, she still sobbed, full of resentment, "What right do you have to lecture me?"

"What right do I have? Ha ha, indeed, what right do I have? Then let me tell you what right I have!"

Zhou Yan abruptly drew the Xuanyuan Sword, and bright red blood spread like a fountain over the Speech Spirit Heavenly Girl's white bosom, so shocking and startling.

It was like bright plum blossoms on snow, glaring and mournful.

Yet, the Speech Spirit Heavenly Girl stood proud and unyielding, with a defiant and coldly elegant demeanor, losing purity but uncaring—all at least before Zhou Yan, she's utterly indifferent, letting the blood spread over her icy skin and jade-like bones, transforming into a blood-drenched, graceful beauty.

"First, let me mention my brother, Lee Ran, the Divine Fist Venerable. You know well what he sacrificed for the Human Clan!"

Zhou Yan spoke coldly.

"What, your brother is the Divine Fist Venerable?"

The Speech Spirit Heavenly Girl showed her first sign of emotion.

"I, Zhou Yan, the Lei Yan King! Lee Yi, Lee Sha, for the hope of the Human Clan sacrificed, bringing the true hope of the Nine Origin Reincarnation."

"What, you are the Emperor Lei Yan?"

The Speech Spirit Heavenly Girl was once again moved, but her beautiful eyes, previously devoid of spirit and filled only with hatred, suddenly shone with an unbelievably brilliant gleam, filled with an undeniable bright luster.

But in an instant, she did not believe.

She completely disbelieved.

"Ha ha, I know you naturally don't believe, but may I ask, the art of changing forms, Soul Cutting Skill, Soul Killing Chains, Heavenly Pivot Ancient Town, who can master all these capabilities? Hmm, and the Thunder-controlling Divine Flames, Silent Annihilation Purple Flame, but this isn't all."

"The Lei Yan King, for the Human Clan, almost died but lived a humble life for the hope of the next life. Later, some unknown factors let him grow.

His daughter, Princess Yan Yan, expended her efforts, doing all she could to make him powerful.

His brother struggled and schemed in every direction, just so he could continue to grow.

Because in this world, only a true Immortal Evil Soul, a true Immortal Evil Venerable can resist those unknown perils.

In his past life, the Lei Yan King should have succeeded, but ultimately failed and was sealed within the Immortal Gate, rivers of blood flowing.

And a battle unfolded at that moment.

As the Lei Yan King delayed, controlling the situation, he used memory as a model, created through Soul Killing, True Void, and the real Life Ancient Star, to establish a world named 'Sword Burial Ancestor Star'.

Unfortunately, many enemies also joined this struggle, hence every person in memory almost appeared in duplicate.

The true mixed with the false. Within truth, there are lies. Lies with truth, within lies, there are truths.

Originally, I thought breaking through the truth would lead to my death, but now, I need not worry, because you are an outsider of the truth, and my soul is connected to yours, so I live in the midst of illusion and reality, unafraid to tell you the truth."

"I strive for the great calamity of the Human Clan, the Outer Heaven Demon and the Void Spirit, are absolutely not like your Heavenly Demon and Void Spirit, but have been invaded by machines.

The Mechanical Race has duplicated all races, preparing to replace the original Human Clan bloodline."

"The last thread of immortal hope lies in that Dark God Domain."

"Of course, these are only my conjectures."

"I am of the Great Emperor's body, the reincarnation of Lei Yan King. I am in the Divine Spirit Sixth Transition, capable of suppressing your Heavenly Venerate Sixth Realm Speech Spirit Heavenly Girl, even able to suppress, seal, and humiliate you.

Who else in this world but the Lei Yan King can achieve this?"

"Am I unworthy to humiliate you?!"

"The women of the Lei Yan King, Life Soul Saintess Jiang Yuning, Netherworld Goddess Mu Qingyan, Frost Snow Ice Girl Feng Lingqing, Heavenly Destiny Soul Girl Long Xianyin, Fate Goddess Zhuge Jiayue, and Jade Fox Demoness Bai Ying Gu Xi, which one is inferior to you? They all hold deep feelings for me, I fear even hurting them, yet you persistently belittle and disdain the Human Clan!"

"I came with a purpose, yet before this, I never heard of what figure you are. And I came because my Immortal Weapon guided me, everything was coincidence or arranged by my brother Lee Ran.

I came, calculated and slaughtered, would I not retaliate and allow myself to be butchered at will?"

"So, here's the result!"

"If you had not insulted me, I certainly would not have insulted you. You forced me to kneel, tried to extract my bloodline, threatened my women, how could I let you go?"

"Do you think this is an excuse, then did you ever think you would also be humiliated when you humiliated me?"

"If people don't offend me, I won't offend them! The Human Clan does have much trash, much scum worse than beasts, I admit I am scum too, but in the face of the Human Clan's righteousness, how many true brutes, true scoundrels are there? Of course, in the Great Thousand World, there's nothing we don't see, some are inherently cold, ignore Human Clan righteousness, and only care for themselves? Well, ultimately they are a minority.

But such is reality, not everyone can empathize and consider others. Do you think your Void Spirit, Heavenly Demon, have no scum? No pests?"

"Moreover, didn't you ever think, if the Human Clan you hate were really all exterminated, then your Void Spirits? Heavenly Demons? Forget it!"

"A race that can be deceived and betrayed by a mere human clan lowlife, I can only say, it is the incompetence of this race, because after all, a human lowlife is just a minor character. His intelligence and scheming are by no means comparable to the powerful deduction and calculation abilities of the Mechanical Race!"

"Yet you can be betrayed and sold out by the cultivators of the Human Clan. It can only be said that your intelligence is insufficient, that is why you were deceived! It can only be said that you are too arrogant and conceited, which is why you fall so miserably! I think, it is even a good thing, at least you didn't encounter the Mechanical Race, otherwise you might be worse off, none of you would survive, all would die completely."

"So you should thank those human clan cultivators who sold you out. It is their cruelty that taught you to think more and use wisdom more in doing things."

"You are so proud, yet suppressed by me, a sixth transition Divine Spirit, and you are still unconvinced?"

"Am I qualified enough to reprimand you?!"

"To reprimand you, or to have taught you, passed on my experience to you. With my personality, Zhou Yan, I am not usually talkative, but being able to say so much to you was already quite rare!"

Zhou Yan's words were cold, but every word, every sentence came from the heart.

These words were not pleasant to hear at all.

Some of them even caused the Speech Spirit Heavenly Girl's delicate body to tremble, with anger blazing intensely.

Yet, in the end, she slowly lowered her arrogant head, her face extremely pale.

"You know the Heavenly Demon Nine Changes cultivation technique and the like, I ask you to open your eyes wide and see clearly. Do I look like a Heavenly Demon? A Void Spirit? How do you judge that?!"

Zhou Yan said, his figure slightly moved and directly transformed into a Void Spirit, then changed into a Tai Chu Yin Spirit, then transformed into a Heavenly Demon with crystal skeletons.

Throughout all this, the Speech Spirit Heavenly Girl stared motionlessly at Zhou Yan, but unable to discern.

But Zhou Yan transformed into himself, existing in the state of a Divine Soul, directly slashing a sword at himself.

Zhou Yan split into two, while the Speech Spirit Heavenly Girl couldn't even feel pain, yet suddenly experienced the terrifying aura of the Secret Technique of the Soul Cutting Skill.

Even if unwilling to believe, the Speech Spirit Heavenly Girl was still incredibly shocked.

Life, always has many unimaginable things.

Especially when someone you have in your heart as a hero or idol is standing vividly and harshly before you, it is more so.

Even more unimaginable is when this former idol now is someone who humiliates you, and whom you humiliate.

Life, why is it so pathetic and ridiculous?

The Speech Spirit Heavenly Girl seemed dazed, crying, laughing, mad and frantic.

All dreams shattered.

All pride vanished.

Life, and death, seem to make no difference.

Confusion, bewilderment, pain? Despair? Or is it endless indifference?

Even the Speech Spirit Heavenly Girl herself didn't know.

Zhou Yan suddenly reached out, holding the Speech Spirit Heavenly Girl's hand, the power in his hand shook, breaking all her seals.

The Speech Spirit Heavenly Girl's delicate body quivered, a killing intent erupted sharply, but in the end did not strike, instead gradually restrained itself.

"This is the Memory Crystal Stone of the Sword Illusion Realm. I am indeed excessive, but in a lifetime, one will always have to do things one does not want to do but has to. To become powerful, also to be a guardian, I must become stronger at all costs."

"This world, the Dark God Domain, and so on, might all be a cage. But it is not necessarily controlled by the enemy, so there is still a chance to break free."

"The truths I verbalized are also truths I derived. They are more than 50% close to reality. You came from the outside, involved yourself, perhaps you know that the Lei Yan King might not be dead, but sealed on the Immortal Throne."

"I am a continuation, also a rebirth, living between reality and illusion. I took your talent, yet eventually returned a part to you. You can hate me endlessly, but I hope you will wait to settle the score with me after I succeed."

"The Human Clan cannot be without a future, I have children, you will too. Those tribesmen of yours who haven't truly been wiped out will also have children. Other Human Clan cultivators will as well. My living at all costs is actually much more painful than if I were to die, but I hope you can understand this."

"It doesn't matter if you look down on me, look down on the Human Clan, it shows you have an obsession with defeating the great enemy. But... please give the true race a hope."

"In fact, I didn't really want to speak, but many words can only be known by a true outsider like you, the rest cannot know. Knowing them would cause unknown changes and get erased by deadly Unknowns."

"Now, what I had to say, has been said."

Zhou Yan calmed his heart, having said these words, he felt an unspoken sense of sorrow inexplicably arise, an uncontrollable mourning.

Life, is like fate's puppet, and sometimes, endless struggling is just for a sliver of hope for the Human Clan.

The Speech Spirit Heavenly Girl's eyes were flushed, but she didn't hold back her tears, instead she turned around, naturally putting on a white veil to cover her body, no longer facing Zhou Yan, she said, "How can you tell... if Void Spirit or Heavenly Demon are real or fake?"

"In this world, maybe except for you, everything else is fake."

"You—"

"What I say is true, even if it isn't, it is more than 99% correct. I assure the accuracy of this statement with my own dignity—the dignity of the Lei Yan King."

"I understand! Lei Yan King, remember your promise. If success comes one day, I—Fu Wanling will certainly find you to settle the score!"

The Speech Spirit Heavenly Girl said, with a flick of her skirt, suddenly vanished.

Outside the Suppression Domain Demon Cave, suddenly many Heavenly Demons died tragically, and eventually, the energy within them gathered and formed a wisp of an inexplicable Crystal Skeleton fragment, as if to verify the correctness of Zhou Yan's words.
