Within the Blood Sea Demon Origin, inside the Forbidden Array.

Zhou Yan silently absorbed the unique energy, his mind highly focused.

Towards the various displays of the Wisdom Goddess Yamina, Zhou Yan truly felt no stirrings of the heart.

He had his own judgments, his own understanding of certain things, and the Wisdom Goddess Yamina was even willing to forsake her most valued purity for her people, hence the so-called emotions displayed were merely a misguidance.

Zhou Yan also deeply understood that regardless of what existence it was, regardless of status, one core point would never change, and that is strength.

Only strength is real; everything else, true or false, is entirely unnecessary to dwell upon.

If the matters concerning Mo Yuyao were not shocking enough, then in Zhou Yan's eyes, being once again afflicted by soul poison, again nearly controlled by the chip, almost reduced to being a puppet, an ant to be crushed.

In fact, whether it was Lee Ran's arrangements, or the Virgin's sacrifice, or the Wisdom Goddess's purity, they all highlighted a point about Zhou Yan—failure.

Not strong enough, he was defeated in every situation.

Not strong enough, he worried his family and friends.

Not strong enough, he was easily deceived and manipulated like a fool.

Not strong enough, he lived in such a humble and repressed manner.

Thus, after a restart, or perhaps after a near-death experience, now revived, Zhou Yan's mind truly underwent a change.

Lee Sha's calmness in the face of death, Lee Ran's diligent efforts, and the encounters of the Holy Daughter, Yanyan, and others deeply touched him.

But Zhou Yan can now entirely choose to ignore it all.

Perhaps it was Lee Sha's Demon Heart's influence, or perhaps it was Zhou Yan's own enlightenment.

In any case, he was who he was, yet he was nearly no longer himself.

"Why does Yanyan want to walk her own path? Perhaps not just out of stubbornness."

"And why did Yanyan succumb to cooperating with her brother Lee Ran? Perhaps only because there was no other road to take."

"To make such a stubborn daughter yield, how could things be that simple?"

During cultivation, Zhou Yan displayed thoughts akin to a Heart Demon, but he immediately shattered those thoughts, which never reappeared.

Even if his mind harbored such complex thoughts, he no longer pondered them.

Amid uncertainty, all contemplation was halted.

Zhou Yan began reorganizing the nine domains, recultivating, inch by inch, bit by bit.

The process was not difficult, but neither was it simple.

This recultivation took Zhou Yan half a month, during which he achieved a profound enlightenment, feeling much emotion.

Subsequently, endless life soul energy, soul crystals, and so on were all absorbed and refined by Zhou Yan bit by bit.

Zhou Yan focused on cultivation in two aspects.

First, the "Xingyi Ancient Scripture" which he comprehended himself.

Second, the Killing Spirit Will Power and its corresponding "Ruoshui Scripture" which he comprehended.

Among them, the repair and restoration of energy was also key.

Devotedly, Zhou Yan repaired the soul loss; the effects of the Life Soul Crystal were excellent, and the energy from the Emperor Blood transformation was pure, greatly speeding his recovery.

However, Zhou Yan did not seek speed but rather in the substitution of the Emperor Blood, derived a new transformation, in the imprints of his bloodline, found his true foundation, completed a unique bloodline transformation.

This process consumed nearly five months, before Zhou Yan finally reconsolidated the Emperor Blood to the level of the Fifty-fourth Transformation, his realm re-entering the Divine Spirit Nine Transitions Great Perfection.

His understanding of the Chaos Domain deepened greatly from many different perspectives, truly freeing himself from the shackles of the Wisdom Goddess Yamina's inheritance.

During this time, Zhou Yan also gained a deeper understanding of Lee Sha's rule knowledge, learning the method of condensing rule attacks, boosting his combat power once again to the Break Nine level.

Reaching this step marked four full years since Zhou Yan entered the Soul Refining Demon Cave.

Another four years of transformation, at this moment, four years could indeed change many things.

Zhou Yan also realized time was pressing, but the new transformation was necessary, or else he might still be making a wedding dress for others in the future.

After the transformation, Zhou Yan's focus shifted to his own Tao.

...

After dealing with these, Zhou Yan stood up, finally taking out the golden leaf, and letting Xuanyuan Evil Soul devour all its domain energy, storing not a bit.

The golden leaf, fallen among Glens' trio, originally a bait, but this item itself was indeed real.

Zhou Yan took out the leaf, activated it with Divine Power, and as expected, it revealed the cultivation method of the upcoming Hidden Soul Immortal Dao.

However, Zhou Yan only earnestly observed it, memorized it, but did not cultivate this Dao.

Instead, he regarded this Dao as something to broaden horizons.

After re-understanding the Killing Spirit Will and "Ruoshui Scripture," Zhou Yan felt he was not focused enough, not having cultivated each Supreme Dao Domain rule to an extreme.

Zhou Yan, only wants to master everything he knows to an extreme limit, permeating with different radiation and diffusion methods, manifesting an unparalleled Dao.

And the "Ruoshui Scripture" clearly can present such a direction.

In this understanding, although only two golden leaves remained to be collected, Zhou Yan no longer cared after storing them in the Golden Pearl.

At this moment, Zhou Yan, carrying the Xuanyuan Sword, broke through the Forbidden Array and walked out of the Blood Sea Demon Origin.

He flew out from the deep channel, the Void Sword Body locked onto the void nodes, and directly exited this region, then Zhou Yan appeared at the central area of the Soul Refining Demon Domain.

The suppression power was nearly non-existent, but the Yin Spirits and Heavenly Demons here were as numerous as ever.

Zhou Yan did not hide any longer nor did he transform into a Heavenly Demon, but directly took out the Immortal Soul Suppressing Bow, using his will as arrows, using the Ten Thousand Soul Sword Dao for offense, suppressing and killing the Heavenly Demons with the Soul Suppressing Bow.

He accepted the task of the Purgatory Palace, only starting to complete it now.

...

The Soul Suppressing Bow trembled, instantly powerful Heavenly Demons turned into dust, their souls scattered.

Zhou Yan possessed the Heart of Silence, his slaughter methods occasionally manifested, a single arrow, sometimes erupts with an unparalleled killing intent, manifesting the Killing Spirit Rules power, instantly killing several Heavenly Demons.

Such an attack of mowing down was indeed shocking.

But in this barren, chilling, and white bone-covered land, there was, and only Zhou Yan, slaughtering a series of Heavenly Demons and Void Spirits in solitude.

Within this slaughter, Zhou Yan felt deeply about the cultivation method of will enhancing Rule Domain attacks.

He mechanically repeated such slaughter actions again and again, constantly switching various Domain Rules.

Until one of those times, Zhou Yan used Controlling Thunder, Soul-controlling, Soul Slash, and Killing Spirit Domain suddenly overlapping in one place, the moment the belief was triggered, presented the 'Worry-free' artistic conception from the "Ruoshui Scripture", unexpectedly that resulted in a proliferation of rules, manifesting an unusual situation like multiple universes radiating multiple changes.

At that moment, Zhou Yan was suddenly enlightened, remembering the Supreme Dao derived from Zhou Gucheng—Ancestor Thunder Divine Light.

Thunder.

Light.

Yuan Ci.

At that moment, Zhou Yan was suddenly enlightened, as if plunged into his own Supreme Dao.

Then, instinctively he shot and killed Void Spirits and Heavenly Demons, immersed in these comprehensive Supreme Dao.

In this realization, Zhou Yan's Venerable soul was undergoing a bit of transformation, the previously void soul liquid was gradually filled by the Xuanyuan Evil Soul, presenting a true recovery trend.

The energy sedimentation and tranquil enlightenment of nearly four years, all kinds of losses for Zhou Yan had been completely compensated, and even further advanced, now by transforming again, it could be considered further transcendence transformation, with great benefits.

Only Zhou Yan himself did not realize this change, he was completely immersed in the combination, radiation, and diffusion of rules.

These were rules he shouldn't have understood, but now he directly went to comprehend them.

Strength was his fundamental goal, everything else he no longer cared about.

During this process, Zhou Yan alone, in such a state, had already reached a state of madness in shooting Heavenly Demons.

Years passed, ignorant of the passage of time.

Zhou Yan in such a state, had slaughtered for a full year and a half.

All of the Venerable Realm Heavenly Demons in the core region range of hundreds of thousands of miles in the Demon Cave were nearly completely slaughtered clean.

Regardless of how strong the Heavenly Venerate Demons or Void Spirits were, none could survive more than ten moves in this state.

As of that state, Zhou Yan's Emperor Blood completed three transformations, stepping into different Emperor Blood transformation directions with his own rules.

Only after his Emperor Blood reached Fifty-seven Transformations, Zhou Yan's divine soul spirit liquid flowed into the Soul Sea, and the Soul Sea also revealed a lake-sized area.

A terrifying vitality, an unparalleled chaos emerged.

Controlling Thunder, Soul-controlling, Soul Slash, and Killing Spirit.

Coupled with Zhou Yan's own "Ruoshui Scripture," derived a brand new unique ability rule—Ancestor Thunder Killing Domain.

The Killing Domain Will manifested, an entire world, shrouded under Zhou Yan's Soul Suppressing Bow, the enemy couldn't even withstand one arrow enhanced with the Ancestor Thunder Killing Domain.

Not until this Ancestor Thunder Killing Domain reached small success did Zhou Yan suddenly start with surprise.

Subsequently, Zhou Yan realized that although he had slaughtered and devoured endless Heavenly Demons, it still couldn't match the speed of his transformation and refining, eventually the balance of this devour, refine growth broke at that moment.

After the break, Zhou Yan finally noticed that all the energy within his body was almost depleted to a very serious degree.

But this was only because the energy depletion did not connect.

Zhou Yan stopped, quietly contemplating, his terrifying stamina and powerful ability allowed him to recover to the extreme peak state within breathes.

"Ancestor Thunder Killing Domain, I truly have my own Rule Killing Dao now, this feels really good."

Zhou Yan muttered to himself, his eyes bright as stars, confident.
