Free Web NovelChapter 1642: Chapter 149: Has the Holy Ancestor Returned?
"Puchi—"
The Saint Master Billion Light was utterly helpless, pierced through the brow by a single sword, then nailed to the ground alive.
His body convulsed violently, and after a moment, copious blood gushed out, with a great amount of soul energy spreading outward.
In just a brief moment, the Saint Master Billion Light’s body slowly transformed into soul energy particles and vanished.
This scene harshly shocked Zhuge Qiyan, and the Elder Fifth and Elder Zhou beside her trembled all over, looking at Zhou Yan in utter horror, an extreme sense of absurdity and fear arising in their hearts.
This, this is simply, unbelievable, simply unimaginable.
Zhou Yan waved his hand, and the Blood Sword turned into a streak of light, appearing directly in Zhou Yan’s hand.
Zhou Yan walked towards the fourteen remaining Saint Masters at the scene.
"Wh-What are you doing?"
"Who exactly are you, esteemed one?"
"Senior is this powerful, yet dares not speak your true name? Are you perhaps someone who can’t be revealed?"
"Senior, we have no enmity with the Heavenly Mechanism Sect. We came this time merely out of curiosity due to the sect’s mysterious disappearance, merely seeking the truth!"
"Since senior guards the Heavenly Mechanism Sect, our Blood Sect will certainly avoid it in the future..."
...
Suddenly, including the Blood Sect Master, Ancient City Saint Master, Void Saint Master, and many other Saint Masters, all showed signs of compromise.
The previous scene was too terrifying, too frightening.
Their strength was similar to that of the Saint Master Billion Light, yet he was instantly killed by Zhou Yan. It’s simply too horrifying.
The strength of the Saint Master Billion Light was not inferior to any of the present Saint Masters and even stronger than more than half of them.
The Saint Master Billion Light was instantly killed; how could their situation be better?
This point, the death of the Saint Master Billion Light, already fully explained the issue.
Thus, now, all the killing intent had disappeared, replaced by a kind of intangible unease, an uneasy fear.
They never expected that a so-called young Saint Heir of the Heavenly Mechanism Sect would be so fearfully strong.
"What, afraid of death? Rest assured, I won’t kill you. After all, you’re guests from afar."
Zhou Yan said with a light smile.
This statement seemed to relieve all the Saint Masters at the scene, but Zhou Yan’s smile made their hearts very uneasy.
"However, while you can be spared from the death penalty, it’s hard to escape the living penalty; without giving you a taste of death, you might think the Heavenly Mechanism Sect could be casually trampled."
Zhou Yan said.
Then, Zhou Yan clasped his hands behind his back, blood light also melded into his brow.
It seemed as though Zhou Yan had no intention of making a move.
But the next moment, above Zhou Yan’s head, there appeared an incredibly frightening ancient purple dragon.
The purple dragon roared, suddenly letting out an extremely terrifying soul sound.
Soul sound waves, suddenly covering the more than ten Saint Masters ahead.
"Ah—"
The terrifying Heavenly Dao in the sound waves crushed like a press and suddenly swept over.
"Pu pu pu—"
After the terrifying sound waves crushed over, more than ten Saint Masters all turned into mere blood and flesh powder.
Endless soul energy immediately began to be devoured by the heaven and earth here.
In just a brief moment, it was completely devoured.
Yet Zhou Yan only absorbed a tiny bit.
And this tiny bit of soul energy also allowed Zhou Yan’s realm to instantly loosen, entering the early stage of the Sixth Layer of the Soul Condensation Realm.
Moreover, Zhou Yan also felt that this time the cultivation difficulty began to greatly increase.
However, Zhou Yan didn’t care.
He took a light breath, the purple dragon transformed into a phantom, entered the Baihui acupoint on top of his head, and disappeared.
At this moment, Zhuge Qiyan, Elder Zhou, and Elder Fifth were completely stunned.
"Zhou Yan, you, you, you—"
Zhuge Qiyan was completely stunned.
"Senior Zhou Yan, earlier it was my lack of manners—"
Elder Zhou and Elder Fifth almost spoke simultaneously.
Zhou Yan shook his head calmly, declined the three from speaking further, and directly interrupted their words, saying, "Sect Master, Elder, and Elder Fifth, this isn’t reality but an illusion.
And as the Creator, I, Zhou Yan, resonate completely with the Yellow Bell, capable of controlling the Heavenly Dao Rules here. So, how could they be my ’Sovereign’s’ opponents here?"
"As for outside, naturally I’m not their opponent."
"This is an illusion. Let’s leave." freēwēbnovel.com
Zhou Yan said.
"Ah—"
After Zhou Yan finished speaking, the three of Zhuge Qiyan finally returned to their senses.
However, they still didn’t believe this place was an illusion, because it was too real and terrifying.
Still, after a while, as if recalling something, the three finally sighed, realizing this truly was an illusion.
Yet even though it was an illusion, Zhou Yan’s methods still pressed heavily upon their hearts, making it impossible for them to forget it for the rest of their lives.
Zhou Yan smiled slightly, then his soul energy trembled, instantly the void turned dark, and then immediately brightened again.
In an instant, they returned to the original place.
Except for the environment transforming into a verdant valley in the mountains, it seemed nothing else had changed significantly.
However, at this time the more than ten saints who had died all returned to normal.
Although supposedly dying in the Heavenly Road meant actual death in reality, these elder’s minds were exceedingly resolute; to become a Saint Master, which one of them wasn’t a regional powerhouse?
Therefore, Zhou Yan naturally knew such methods couldn’t truly kill them.
But this effect had already completely achieved the desired result.
"You old fellows, now that you’re awake, don’t pretend to be confused."
"The weapon of Billion Light old man, I, Zhou Yan, will keep. As for the rest of you, I don’t need your holy weapons, but leave behind your life resources, and you can leave."
Zhou Yan stood with hands behind his back, his gaze exuding an aura of dominance as he looked at these people.
That kind of indifferent expression, like looking at ants, made the hearts of more than ten elders present leap.
"Senior... Senior, I wonder who you are, to..."
"Senior, our Blood Sect has..."
At this moment, many Saint Masters immediately sent transmissions to Zhou Yan, not only wanting to know information about Zhou Yan but also hoping to draw Zhou Yan into their sects and maintain a good relationship.
After experiencing that terrifying moment of death, these Saint Masters clearly dared not offend Zhou Yan anymore.
"I am Tianji Saint Son Zhou Yan. As for other identities, you are not qualified to know. Understand?"
Zhou Yan said indifferently.
At this moment, he unleashed a strand of the aura of Holy Spirit Evil Venerable.
The aura was not much, and it wasn’t directed at Zhuge Qiyan and the others, but rather at the more than ten Saint Masters.
Instantly, this strand of aura almost crushed and shattered the more than ten Saint Masters, leaving them extremely shocked.
Immediately, the faces of all the more than ten saints became extremely pale.
"This time, it’s me being rash, from now on, our Blood Sect Master will absolutely never offend Heavenly Mechanism Sect in the slightest! This is a Qiankun Ring, containing ten million top-grade soul stones..."
"In the future, our Ancient City Sacred Land will certainly regard Heavenly Mechanism Sect as the greatest sect, pay reverence every year, and offer endless resources as a sign of sincerity!"
"Our Void Sacred Land will do the same!"
...
"There’s no need for offerings. You may leave."
Zhou Yan waved his hand, speaking indifferently.
Then, Zhou Yan’s figure rippled, transforming into endless soul energy particles, disappearing as if from this place.
Soul energy fluctuated, and the Sect Master of Heavenly Mechanism Sect Zhuge Qiyan and the others also disappeared simultaneously.
At the same time, the phantom of Heavenly Mechanism Sect severed from this world, seemingly truly vanishing between heaven and earth.
While the remaining elders, watching Zhou Yan, who had already disappeared along with the Qiankun Ring they had offered, couldn’t help but have exceptionally grim expressions.
But the more than ten Saint Masters had no resentment or killing intention.
A loss is a loss; survival of the fittest, the strong should be honored, losing isn’t shameful, and losing resources isn’t regretful, as long as one lives, there’ll always be a chance.
"Didn’t expect, this time, such a big fall."
"Indeed didn’t expect."
"Too strong."
"This Tianji Saint Son, suddenly emerging, so fierce and defying the heavens... Could it be the return of a Holy Ancestor?"
"Ah—this this—"
"This is highly possible! Otherwise, how could he catch holy weapons with bare hands? Only a Holy Ancestor possesses such ability!"
"Hiss—"
After such analysis, all the Saint Masters present became much paler.
The originally somewhat unsatisfied Saint Masters felt immensely relieved at this moment, glad they were still alive.
"Let’s go, Heavenly Mechanism Sect, since it’s transcended, let it be. This time, we were rash, and next encounter with disciples of Heavenly Mechanism Sect, we should compensate more, never offending them again."
"The Holy Ancestor of Heavenly Mechanism Sect has returned, so what about our Holy Ancestor?"
A Saint Master suddenly spoke.
At that moment, almost every Saint Master’s gaze became incredibly bright.
