The Ancestor Thunder Killing Domain spread, and was condensed into an arrow in an instant. Zhou Yan used the Rule Power to condense the Killing Dao into a stream of light, which, in a split second, shot towards the back of the neck of the lock-armored youth.

The youth, who turned into black smoke, had his whole body clad in the silver-gray Yellow Wind Armor, which emitted a dazzling yellow glow, shattering Zhou Yan's arrow into nothingness.

Under such an impact, the lock-armored youth stumbled, and the black smoke he had turned into shattered partly, revealing his original form.

He looked somewhat embarrassed, but escaped even faster.

Having failed on the first attack, Zhou Yan's subsequent arrows shot out like a swarm of dense locusts, targeting all directions.

The lock-armored youth was extremely embarrassed. After several bursts of yellow light shattered Zhou Yan's arrows, the yellow glow on him gradually dimmed significantly.

This dimming even seemed somewhat lacking in follow-up strength.

Zhou Yan's arrows, on the contrary, became stronger and stronger, making the lock-armored youth even more embarrassed, spitting blood repeatedly yet he no longer dared to confront with his bell.

Clearly, his bell wasn't as terrifying as Zhou Yan's arrows.

Zhou Yan shot countless arrows in succession, feeling a sense of heat surging through him, but he had a murderous intent. Hence, the moment the lock-armored youth showed a flaw in extreme embarrassment, Zhou Yan suddenly put away his bow, drew the Xuanyuan Sword, activated the Immortal Evil Soul, and unleashed an unparalleled Immortal Strike.

This strike exhausted nearly twenty percent of Zhou Yan's energy, releasing endless Killing Dao, and the derived Ancestor Thunder Killing Domain reached an extreme in an instant.

"Buzz——"

The void roared, and a terrifying chasm appeared like the Sky Dome being pierced, manifesting a streak of black light.

In the black light, Zhou Yan's sword had already approached the lock-armored youth.

"Fellow Taoist, please stay your hand!"

Suddenly, a terrifyingly clear and pleasant voice echoed between heaven and earth.

The voice revealed a booming Dao sound, which presented a unique Tao aura.

This aura was very powerful and very shocking.

As this voice appeared, a young man in a yellow Daoist robe riding a black bull appeared in the distant void. This young man had sword-like brows and starry eyes, looking handsome and elegant, yet possessed a unique refined temperament, free and unrestrained.

Upon seeing this person, Zhou Yan couldn't help but slightly narrow his gaze.

However, he did not pause but instead unleashed an Evil Soul Strike with the Xuanyuan Sword in his hand, demonstrating Break Nine's combat power.

"Psh—"

The lock-armored youth's head was immediately decapitated by the Xuanyuan Sword, rolling into the void.

"Puff—"

Dark smoke suddenly spurted out from the decapitated head, which shot forward like a cannonball, suddenly regenerating into a body in the distant place, while the section of the body Zhou Yan had cut off abruptly turned into a mass of black smoke, which exploded with a "boom," and immediately dissipated.

"Why pursue me to the very end, native? Didn't I beg for mercy earlier?"

The Yellow Wind Armor youth frowned, glaring at Zhou Yan with eyes as large as copper bells, filled with endless anger and hostility.

"Fellow Taoist, isn't it a bit excessive to pursue him to this extent?"

The young man riding the bull stood between the lock-armored youth and Zhou Yan, looking at Zhou Yan with a slightly displeased tone.

"What if it's excessive? Is it the case that only you self-righteous Taoists can kill me at will, and I can't fight back? If I fight back, then I don't know what's good for me?"

"Moreover, who do you think you are?"

Zhou Yan sneered repeatedly.

"Oh, it turns out my little junior brother offended you first. In that case, I, Yin Tianshu, apologize again to the fellow Taoist. My little junior brother is young and impulsive; since the fellow Taoist is unharmed, let's call it settled."

This young man's attitude was very calm; rather than progressing further, he retreated somewhat, even dissipating the initial hint of displeasure.

"Moo——"

At this moment, the large black bull beneath him suddenly let out a howling sound toward Zhou Yan.

This sound was like the Soul Suppressing Sound, booming in the ears like thunder, startling the heart.

However, having weathered many storms, Zhou Yan was not at all emotionally perturbed by this howling sound; he merely coldly stared at this bull-riding young man, saying, "So, it's Fellow Daoist Yin Tianshu. Since the fellow Taoist said so, if I pursue this matter further, it would seem petty of me. Let's consider it settled. But even if I, Zhou Yan, am willing to let this go, I fear your mount might be quite unwilling."

"Fellow Taoist, you jest. This beast is not unwilling; it's just battle-hungry. But battle should be waged against Heavenly Demons, and Puppets, not against our own."

"Fellow Daoist Zhou Yan, Tianshu has some matters to attend to, so I must leave first."

This Taoist spoke, suddenly clamping his legs around the black bull's abdomen. The black bull raised its head, huffing at Zhou Yan several times, then lowered its head, wrapped its tail around the lock-armored Yellow Wind youth, and the two disappeared in an instant.

Throughout, the young man in white never made a move.

But after the young man in white left, Zhou Yan's hand, which was gripping the Xuanyuan Sword, relaxed, and the palm already bore bloody marks.

The exchange of a few words, a surge of momentum, and the bellow of the black ox were all just signals.

If it weren't for the two being evenly matched, this young man would not be so easy to talk to.

Moreover, the other party indeed had matters to attend to, so there wasn't much delay, thus there was no battle intent.

Otherwise, it would have been an epic battle, a battle for the ages.

This young man is a true exceptional talent, with frightening potential. The Immortal Weapon in his hand had yet to manifest, but whatever it may be, it would never be ordinary.

He is far more powerful than the Daoist Zhou Yan encountered previously, truly an exceptional talent.

...

After Zhou Yan performed the Xingyi Rebirth technique and recovered to peak condition, he did not stay in this small area. The Tao Rules here were comprehended by him, but the aura of the Tao Rules still lingered, vaguely present.

It was precisely this aura that made this place constantly troubled.

Zhou Yan isn't afraid of trouble, but at this moment he didn't want to attract too much trouble.

Zhou Yan left this Land of Enlightenment. After walking no more than tens of thousands of meters, he encountered several groups led by young male and female Taoists, each group over a hundred people, all having that 'imitated Immortal Weapon' in the leader's hands.

Zhou Yan, when he had a shallow understanding in the past, used to mistake such items as broken Immortal Weapons. Now understanding part of the layers of the 'Immortal' Secret Technique, Zhou Yan realized they were imitated Immortal Weapons.

The Xuanyuan Sword and Soul Suppressing Bow in his hand, conversely, are the real Immortal Weapons, though quite broken and unable to exert their true power.

Zhou Yan encountered these Taoists, none of whom knew Zhou Yan, nor did Zhou Yan know them.

Yet there was no conflict between the two parties.

Zhou Yan journeyed on for some distance, encountering two groups of Dark God Domain cultivators, but they were similarly strangers, so unfamiliar that Zhou Yan recognized no one.

In merely about six years, Zhou Yan felt things have changed, with a sense of estrangement, a condition that aside from making him sigh, didn't even make him lament.

Cultivation sometimes breeds the sensation of an ever-changing world and self.

Zhou Yan traversed for several days, confronting large numbers of Tai Chu Yin Spirits, Heavenly Demons, and Void Spirits. Their realms were even getting stronger, which finally gave Zhou Yan a bad feeling.

Zhou Yan hastened his pace and entered the outer layer of the Soul Refining Demon Cave.

The outer layer, although usually having some Tai Chu Yin Spirits, wasn't too many and was considered relatively safe.

But upon Zhou Yan's entry into the periphery, he was immediately shocked by the multitude of Yin Spirits and Heavenly Demons crowding it.

Like Yin Spirits and Heavenly Demons escaping from the Blood River, closely packed, they nearly filled the outer space of the Soul Refining Demon Cave.

Such dense Heavenly Demons, among them even the outrageously powerful Hongmeng Supreme Crystal Sky Demons flying everywhere.

In the distant sky, Immortal Light flickered with screams resounding.

The distant sky was all the more dark, dim as though the ultimate apocalypse descended upon the Dark God Domain.

The Dark God Domain indeed seemed to have completely turned bleak and lightless.

As soon as Zhou Yan appeared here, he immediately attracted the attention of a swarm of Endless Sky Demons. The swarm of Heavenly Demons charged at Zhou Yan madly, their ferocity truly making one's scalp tingle.

Zhou Yan was shocked. Such a densely populated presence of Heavenly Demons at the edges of this Soul Refining Demon Cave suggests that the entire Dark God Domain has most likely become the territory of the Heavenly Demons, already invaded by Tai Chu Yin Spirits, Heavenly Demons, Void Spirits, and even the Ancient Demon Clan.

If this is the case, then the current Dark God Domain is truly as dark as the endless night.

Zhou Yan pondered for a moment, then immediately took out the Soul Suppressing Bow, manifesting the Ancestor Thunder Killing Domain, revealing his strongest combat power, and with a single bow sweep a stretch of the Void, sweeping across a range.

"Puff, puff, puff—"

That one arrow swept across with a nearly supreme slaughter, manifesting a terrifying Tao.

Endless Heavenly Demons fell dead, the Crystal Bone Fragment shattering into violent shards of destruction, cold aura like a raging torrent battering Heaven and Earth.

Such violent and ferocious attacks also caused the Endless Sky Demons and Yin Spirits afar to pause for a moment.

Then, an even more violent wave of Evil Spirits swept over, revealing an even more terrifying impact.

Zhou Yan, like a cold mechanical puppet, manifested the Ancestor Thunder Killing Domain, slaughtering each Heavenly Demon with his Power of Devouring, sweeping across the route, his methods ruthless.

The dense wave also gradually grew less dense.

And Zhou Yan had his entire blood and Qi boiling violently, the devouring energy had the Emperor Blood reaching the pinnacle of the Fifty-Eighth Transformation from the Fifty-Seventh Transformation, about to complete yet another small stage of transformation—the Fifty-Ninth Transformation.

But Zhou Yan didn't care at all about these.

"Puff, puff, puff—"

The Yin Spirits screamed, and the Heavenly Demons, like supreme Evil Souls, bared their fangs and claws, displaying terrifying brutality and ferocity, frantically tearing at Zhou Yan's body, shocking Zhou Yan's Divine Soul.
