Chapter 750: Chapter 174: Overwhelmingly Powerful

In the center of the arena, Zhou Yan, dressed in white, with his black hair flying, stood in the Void with the limitless grace of a War God descending to the realm of mortals, his expression indifferent.

However, it was Jiang Yichen who, after a poke of his finger, found his body frozen in the Void for a moment, only to be sent flying backwards with a “whoosh” after Zhou Yan’s figure materialized, repelled thousands of meters away.

Blood dripped profusely from his hand, where he had poked his finger out, revealing the ghastly white of his exposed finger bones.

He had launched an attack with his finger, only for it to be snapped by an unknown force!

“How can this be possible?”

“It’s absolutely impossible! The Lei Yan King surviving into the next life, according to the information we received, had only around twenty-something years of cultivation, less than thirty. How could he possibly be this strong?”

“Didn’t the Lei Yan King in his previous life engage in Evil Cultivation and cycle through the Demon Heart Devour, rising against the natural order? How can he be so steady and valiant in this life, an unstoppable force…”

Around the scene, many Cultivators showed shock on their faces, with an air of incredulity, as if they had witnessed something unbelievable.

Zhou Yan’s demeanor was calm, his gaze cold and detached, as if a Divine being looked down upon ants.

Now, everything seemed to be completely reversed from the beginning.

At the same level of realm, these Cultivators were nothing special. Perhaps Zhou Yan had not been capable of competing before, but now he clearly was.

“Do you really think you can kill me with just a finger poke? I said I wouldn’t fight back, and I won’t, but I will make sure you remember today!”

Zhou Yan smiled faintly, his eyes revealing a profound depth that caused the shaken Jiang Yichen to feel a chill in his heart.

“Kill him! Strike again and kill him!”

Jiang Yiqing said in a deep voice.

He did not take action himself because it was Jiang Yichen who had taken on the attack. It would be disrespectful to overstep and act, which would also undermine Jiang Yichen’s esteem.

But that did not prevent him from reminding Jiang Yichen.

Jiang Yichen’s whole body trembled, his finger poke carrying seventy percent of his strength, originally believing he could easily crush and kill Zhou Yan in one blow. But unexpectedly, poking at Zhou Yan was like poking at an Immortal Weapon; not only did his fingers break inch by inch, but his arm was also shattered.

He was only trying his best to use his bloodline power to keep his arm from exploding into pieces, lest he lose face for himself and further embarrass the Jiang family.

The shock in Jiang Yichen’s heart was equally imaginable; he never expected that what he thought he knew about Zhou Yan would be so wrong.

The Lei Yan King’s next life weak? The one on the lowly Prison Plane’s Breeding Ground? A Seed? A Puppet?

Ridiculously laughable!

If anyone else said such things before Jiang Yichen in the future, he couldn’t guarantee he wouldn’t poke them to death!

Right now, with the enemy’s basic information all wrong, all other information was completely erroneous as well. One wrong step could mean losing the whole game.

There was nothing worse than that.

Jiang Yichen’s mind was momentarily bewildered, not because his disposition was poor, but because when expectations clashed so starkly with reality, any Cultivator would experience a moment of stunned surprise.

Yet, Zhou Yan didn’t take advantage of this moment; he simply watched him coldly.

It was only when Jiang Yiqing’s voice reached him that Jiang Yichen snapped back to reality.

The moment he regained his senses, he saw Zhou Yan’s sneer and those deep eyes that seemed to stiffen his soul.

“I gave all of you the opportunity to face me together, but you did not seize it. Now, I’m sorry.”

“Those who still insist on being enemies with Lei Yan King Zhou Yan may stay here. Those who do not wish to be my enemy, please retreat a thousand miles for the time being to avoid accidental injury.”

Zhou Yan reminded them calmly.

Xiao Fei was the first to retreat, followed by a succession of Cultivators withdrawing.

In the arena, nearly seventy percent of the Cultivators chose to retreat. They realized that this life of Lei Yan King Zhou Yan was by no means a weakling, and even with less than thirty years of cultivation, his strength was already evident.

Moreover, the once invincible demeanor of Lei Yan King had been somewhat evoked by Zhou Yan’s dominance, so there were also quite a few who retreated.

…

“Indeed, there are hundreds of people who still think of slaying me. Such being the case, I truly have something to be proud of.”

As Zhou Yan spoke, a Thunderhawk Sword Soul suddenly flew out from his body, massive in size and flickering with Thunder Light.

“Buzz——”

The heavens and earth began to darken, and endless Heavenly Tribulation swiftly gathered, instantly forming an endless Heavenly Tribulation.

“Using Heavenly Tribulation to frighten people? The targeting of the Tai Chu Heavenly Tribulation is extremely precise; it will not hurt the wrong target, as its soul-locking ability is the Heavenly Dao Rules. What is Lei Yan King Zhou Yan trying to do? Could it be that he is performing a suicide for us to watch?”

“Does he think he can control the Heavenly Tribulation?”

“What on earth is he playing at?”

Not only were Zhou Yan’s enemies puzzled, but even those Cultivators who were not against Zhou Yan were also confused.

However, this confusion did not last long. In the next moment, the Thunderhawk summoned a Heavenly Que Immortal Palace-like ancient architectural Heavenly Tribulation.

The Cultivators within the Immortal Palace were densely packed, truly like Heavenly Soldiers.

“Boom!”

The palace descended, suddenly releasing endless Heavenly Tribulation Divine Soldiers, and the Thunderhawk spewed out countless bolts of extreme Thunder Light. These bolts of extreme Thunder Light actually penetrated the Void, directly targeting every Cultivator present.

Thunder God Fire Sword Dao, Soul-locking.

Following that, the palace descended, and countless Heavenly Tribulation figures armed with Divine Weapons turned into cruel butchers, heading towards those Cultivators enveloped by the extreme Thunder Light.

“Thud thud thud——”

“Thud thud thud——”

The massacre began in an instant and ended just as quickly.

Whereas hundreds of Cultivators had stood here before, now all were dead, leaving behind a chaotic mix of energy in the heavens and earth.

And the only ones still alive were Jiang Yichen, Jiang Yiqing, and four members of the Returning to Truth Clan.

Zhou Yan had killed the others, leaving only these six individuals.

Jiang Yichen and the others were shaking all over, looking at Zhou Yan with eyes full of horror, as if they were looking at a supreme evildoer.

Yet Zhou Yan remained calm, the Thunderhawk continued to soar in the Void without descending, its eagle eyes locked onto Jiang Yichen and the others to prevent them from escaping.

Then, an Emperor Qi Giant Dragon suddenly flew out from within Zhou Yan’s body. The Giant Dragon roared, unleashing the Swallowing Heaven Divine Skill and directly devouring the Divine Soul Energy of all the endless Cultivators in the vicinity.

One mouthful swallowed Heaven and Earth, another roared through the Primordial!

What terrifying grandeur was this?!

Such a technique stunned even the Cultivators who were watching from afar.

Is this still a practitioner of the Nine Changes of Sword Void? Even a God Realm powerhouse couldn’t do this, could they?

Everyone was completely dumbfounded.

Zhou Yan stood with his hands behind his back, he lightly exhaled a turbid breath after Soul Refining, feeling slightly disappointed—the numerous talents that had come here had mostly left Void Souls, so that his Soul Sea had expanded by less than a millimeter!

Zhou Yan’s gaze was serene as he once again looked towards Jiang Yichen, his voice cold as he spoke, “I didn’t leave you alive because I chose not to slay you, but rather to let you witness that even if the Lei Yan King Zhou Yan struggles out of a lamentable life, he remains absolutely invincible! Of course, I’m well aware that you’ve left behind Void Souls and wouldn’t truly perish even in this Plane, so even if you die here, you would only lose a bit of soul power.

But, let me tell you, sometimes, the death of your soul power may also have a great impact on your original Soul!

I spared you few to let your original beings know that I, Lei Yan King Zhou Yan, still roam freely and dominate life. On the other hand, I also want you to taste the flavor of my brand new Killing Spirit Divine Dao!”
