This whip strike is a true immortal attack derived from its essence.

Such an attack method, Zhou Yan had never encountered before, it's a unique path, a path of mastering an immortal weapon.

This path does not show combat power, nor does it present a realm, but each strike is unavoidable and unstoppable.

Even though Zhou Yan knew this female cultivator was extraordinary, and had already dodged once at the moment she struck, the whip, with a distance of several thousand meters, still attacked Zhou Yan.

The attack did not lock onto him, nor did it directly hit Zhou Yan, yet a whip struck, and Zhou Yan's divine soul felt as if it had been struck by a peerless lightning tribulation, as if it was torn apart in an instant.

Zhou Yan primarily cultivates the path of the divine soul, and his soul slash comprehends the rules to perfection. Having experienced several unparalleled heavenly tribulations, he was almost unshakable, yet this whip strike nearly shattered him, creating cracks!

"Puh—"

Zhou Yan spat out a mouthful of blood, and a crack appeared on his brow, nearly splitting his divine body and divine soul, almost leaving behind soul injury.

If it wasn't for previously comprehending the Great Dao, establishing his own Supreme Dao, and having gone through the Soul-controlling Tai Chu Heavenly Tribulation, this whip could have shattered his divine soul, causing Zhou Yan's soul body to explode and perish.

Zhou Yan's heart sank, and he instantly manifested the terrifying technique of Xingyi Rebirth, manifesting the Tao principle radiance, immediately recovering as before.

The apricot yellow robed Daoist, who struck out with that whip, was shockingly staring, as if witnessing the most unbelievable thing, her eyes wide, looking at Zhou Yan as if he were a monster, showing an instant of horror.

Subsequently, an unparalleled dread appeared in her eyes, and she immediately waved the divine whip, intending to strike again.

Zhou Yan was equally horrified, then immediately drew the Soul Suppressing Bow and manifested a lethal will almost instantly, manifesting the Ancestor Thunder Killing Domain. With will, he derived an arrow that instantly locked onto the Daoist.

"The Pangu Bow? It's actually the peerless immortal treasure Pangu Bow? No, this Taoist, stop now!"

The Daoist suddenly shouted loudly.

But Zhou Yan had already released the arrow, and with a "puff," at the moment the Daoist spoke, her delicate body was already penetrated by the arrow.

However, at that moment, the Daoist's figure overlapped into three layers, manifesting a strand of Qiankun Pure Qi.

The pure energy permeated, and the apricot yellow robe exerted force, Zhou Yan's lethal strike merely penetrated and shattered the first Dao body, its offensive momentum softened, and it lacked continuation.

The Dao patterns on the apricot yellow robe shuddered, and subsequently, the momentum of Zhou Yan's arrow completely dissipated.

The Daoist's face was deathly pale, coughing, with bright blood oozing from the corners of her mouth, appearing in a state of morbidity.

Simultaneously, she no longer had that unique demeanor and style, instead seeming to have suffered devastating damage, and this situation seemed to be rapidly worsening.

However, the Daoist did not retaliate again, instead suddenly tipping the gourd, from which rolled out a golden pill, emanating a unique force aura that Zhou Yan had never seen before.

Yet this aura seemed familiar, as if recalling the breath of Wisdom Goddess Yamina.

The woman did not strike again, and Zhou Yan did not use the Soul Suppressing Bow to suppress kill. In a real battle of life and death, it was uncertain who would emerge victorious, after all, this Daoist not only had a unique ancestral aura but also wielded three astonishing immortal weapons.

Whether it was the Immortal Slaying Gourd or the God-whipping whip, or even her robe, were all fearsome items.

The woman swallowed the elixir in one gulp, her whole body manifesting a terrible golden yellow sheen, and nearly within a breath, she had re-condensed a Dao body, which then merged with the other two Dao bodies, forming a pure energy that escaped into her body.

"What should I call you, Taoist friend? And from where did the Pangu Bow in your hand come?"

This Daoist seemed to have restrained somewhat, but still had some apprehension facing Zhou Yan, cautiously asking.

Her tone also finally carried a few traces of respect.

Zhou Yan stared at this Daoist for several more moments, then pondered slightly, saying, "I am Zhou Yan, formerly of Wenhua Palace. Have you heard of me?"

"Hmm? You are Zhou Yan of Wenhua Palace? I have indeed heard of your name, but the rumor was that you tragically became the path, yet I didn't expect you had progressed further. However, now the Purgatory Alliance is gone, and Wenhua Palace hasn't existed for more than three years."

The Daoist gave a reply that left Zhou Yan somewhat shocked.

"Wenhua Palace disappeared?"

Zhou Yan was equally taken aback.

"Yes, Wenhua Palace was destroyed by the Ancient Demon Clan three years ago. The Ancient Demon Clan and Outer Heaven Demon forces have re-integrated, and the current forces have been completely re-divided, with the Tao Sect's Sect Master at the helm, commanding below."

"Nowadays, resources in the Human Clan go to the capable, while hunting Outer Heaven Demons and Ancient Demon Clan anomalies."

"Unification of the world is a good thing. Our Tao Sect is the primary body and among the first batch of awakenings from Nine Origin Reincarnation Eternal Seals, holding immortal path inheritance, far stronger than you natives, so when you encounter us, you should voluntarily retreat three steps."

"Indeed, you natives are indeed weak, whereas our cultivation is mainly in refining magic treasures, and body refinement with immortal energy, with a bloodline holding immortal mechanisms and fates, which is nobler than yours."

"Therefore, previously occupying this peerless Land of Enlightenment without retreating was disrespectful to our immortal path inheritance."

The Daoist didn't speak further, rather, a group of cultivators behind her stepped up, high and mighty, completely disregarding Zhou Yan.

"Is the Nine Origin Reincarnation beginning to descend? Indeed, the chaotic times have arrived."

Zhou Yan's heart chilled, yet he didn't pay much heed to the words of these cultivators.

Only he understood in his heart that immortals are the most sorrowful beings, mere ants before immortality.

However, the Nine Origin Reincarnation was the final path, and now, it had descended early, beginning to manifest.

Isn't this a kind of sorrow?

However, the Immortal Path, magic treasures, and immortal artifacts akin to immortal weapons are indeed immensely powerful and invincible.

There's no need to lock onto the enemy, or even strike them directly; once a magic treasure is unleashed, the doomed will die.

Even a fool, wielding an Immortal Slaying Gourd, could almost effortlessly slay a supreme powerhouse like the Evil King Ji Wu by merely uncovering the lid and spraying.

Zhou Yan knew how strong his combat power was, capable of slaying an Absolute Supreme with just a glance, yet the Immortal Slaying Gourd almost decapitated him, and the Divine Whip almost shattered his divine soul.

Observing the Daoist's identity, she was no real big figure, presumably merely an outstanding talent.

Then the 'immortal artifact' in her hand must surely be a replica.

But do replicas wield such terrible strength?

Then what about the mechanical puppets truly capable of annihilating Ten Thousand Immortals and Ten Thousand Buddhas?

Thinking of these, and seeing these descendants of the Immortal Path still looking down on other cultivators fighting grudgingly, reprimanding and killing as if cutting grass, Zhou Yan felt an inexplicable chill in his heart.

If he were slightly weaker, he would've been slain already.

"Hey, Zhou Yan, you are famed far and wide, but now it seems that's all there is to you. I advise you to yield this Land of Enlightenment to Senior Sister Qingxia. Though she is only a Tao Sect 'Divinity Transformation' early stage disciple, she will certainly break through to 'Divinity Transformation' and achieve the 'Human Immortal' realm in the future."

"Indeed, Senior Sister Qingxia's Nascent Soul has mastered the Tao Sect's most powerful inheritance, the 'Three Pure Ones Technique', holding the hope of becoming a prominent figure. This opportunity you should voluntarily relinquish."

"Zhou Yan, don't fail to appreciate kindness; Senior Sister has already shown mercy."

...

The voices of the Daoist's disciples behind became extremely noisy, all targeting Zhou Yan.

Zhou Yan reflected and said, "Aren't you curious why I possess the Pangu Bow? Because I am the reincarnation of Emperor Xuan Yuan. The sword in my hand is the Xuanyuan Sword. Moreover, I hail from the Earth Ancestral Land, have met the Ancestor Fu Xi, entered the Heavenly Pool Thunder Marsh, once preached under the name 'Lee Yi' at the Kunlun Immortal Pool. Do you know?"

Zhou Yan spoke icily, then manifested terrifying Emperor's Will of the Emperor Qi Sword Emperor, presenting the Xuanyuan Evil Soul, showing invincible might.

Yet hearing this, the Daoist's face showed a mocking sneer.

And the Taoist-robed male and female cultivators behind revealed righteous indignation, as if they couldn't slay Zhou Yan soon enough.

"Utter nonsense, Earth Ancestral Land? Fu Xi Ancestral Land? They are merely some traitors of the Human Clan! Moreover, though your bloodline and aura reveal traces of Xuan Yuan, your bloodline belongs to the Immortal Phoenix Peacock line, so stop deceiving us. Such words should not be spoken recklessly.

Besides, regardless of your origin, past events I don't wish to dwell on, but I advise you, when next encountering any fellow Taoist, refrain from speaking such words, lest you suddenly be slain by a magic treasure, wasting such cultivation!

Further, this time I've lost, but it was due to my unstable cultivation, just beginning with the Three Pure Ones Technique. I will enter the Heavenly Demon Battlefield for more training and cultivation. This place, you may have it."

"Everyone, let's go!"

"Hmph! Nonsensical, attempting to deceive us, utterly laughable!"

"Ingratitude!"

"Ignorance!"

"Foolish drivel, such uncivilized people indeed lack education!"

"Such unrefined places, teeming with native barbarians, how can they compare to the knowledge and inheritance of our Immortal Path?!"

"Such characters, still hoping to bring hope to the Human Clan? Disappointing!"

...

Some Taoists cursed angrily, all leaving in a huff.

Zhou Yan did not pursue, but his face showed a look of inexplicable contemplation.

After a moment, he seemed to think of something, a hint of shock appeared in his eyes.
