In a valley, three figures descended from the sky.
All three were geniuses of the Heavenly Sect power, from the Zhentian Sect.
Their cultivation levels had all reached the peak stage of the immortal realm!
As geniuses, when they encountered cultivators with the King's Fifth Realm cultivation, they could still fight them.
If they met cultivators of the First or Second King Realm, as long as their opponents were not geniuses like them but ordinary first or second King Realm cultivators, any one of them could easily kill the opponent.
"Senior Brother, where are we heading now?" one of the slimmer disciples asked.
The man beside him emanated a ceaseless, drum-like resonance.
This was the most outstanding genius of the Zhentian Sect, the senior brother at the peak stage of the immortal realm.
His cultivation of the Shattering Heaven Technique had reached the level where he could shake the world without moving.
He could resonate with the heavens and earth, and once he took action, he could shake the skies and the earth with immense power.
He was also the senior brother that the slim disciple referred to, the strongest among the three, ranked 7,200 on the Earthly List.
"The three of us will join forces, first find the treasure, kill the top-ranking geniuses, and then look for Yang Yan!" he said slowly.
The slim disciple beside him nodded.
"Senior Brother, do you think we might encounter Yang Yan this time?"
The slim disciple really wanted to meet Yang Yan because Yang Yan carried the inheritance of the Sword Dao Emperor.
To bear the inheritance of a Great Emperor was practically a moving great treasure!
Whoever obtained it would become prosperous!
"The area within the Earthly List is not very large, at most equivalent to an intermediate cultivation star.
With our cultivation, circling it is quite simple!
So the chances of encountering Yang Yan are very high!" the slim disciple's senior brother replied.
"And even if the three of us cannot find treasure or kill the cultivators ranked ahead of us,
we can focus on finding Yang Yan. I think it won't be difficult to locate him."
He added another sentence.
"Understood!" the slim disciple nodded.
His senior brother wore an indifferent expression.
"The only worry is that others might find Yang Yan first and seize the Sword Dao Emperor's inheritance."
"Why don't we look for Yang Yan first? We could find treasures or kill those ranked before us on the way to find Yang Yan? What do you think, senior brother?" the slim disciple proposed.
"That's a good idea, let's do it." The slim disciple's senior brother agreed.
"By the way, the Heaven Shattering Fist Intent bestowed by the Sect Master, make sure to keep it well.
Only use it when absolutely necessary!
It's the key to killing Yang Yan; if it's used up, we won't be able to kill him."
"Rest assured, senior brother, we understand." The slim disciple and the other disciple said in unison.
Suddenly, the slim disciple's senior brother's aura resonated with the heavens and earth.
It startled him, and he quickly turned around, raising his hand to strike.
"Someone's ambushing!" he shouted while striking out.
Thud!
A muffled sound echoed as a hand pierced through his chest.
A bloody, still-beating heart was pulled out and held in the hand.
His punch stopped in mid-air.
His strength dissipated, and his pupils dilated.
Staring at the figure gradually appearing before him, holding his heart.
He struggled to speak.
"Yang, Yang Yan..."
He fell to the ground.
The soul in his Sea of Consciousness emerged, trying to escape.
A light wrapped around his soul, drawing it into the space between the eyebrows.
"Yang Yan..."
The voice of the slim disciple's senior brother alerted the two beside him.
The two immediately turned around, and then they heard their senior brother utter Yang Yan's name.
Then his body fell, and his soul was extinguished.
"Yang Yan, attack together quickly!" the slim disciple shouted.
The fact that Yang Yan had instantly killed their senior brother was enough to prove Yang Yan's strength.
Moreover, before entering the Earthly List, their Sect Master had said, upon encountering Yang Yan.
They must immediately attack and use their most powerful techniques.
They were to give Yang Yan no opportunity, to kill Yang Yan in one strike.
Otherwise, they would be killed by Yang Yan instead!
Just as the two intended to activate the Heaven Shattering Fist Intent within them, a massive palm slapped down from above, instantly killing them.
"It seems your strength is not enough to kill me," Yang Yan said calmly.
He ignored the souls pleading for mercy that floated from the two corpses in front of him and devoured them.
Then he also consumed their physiques with profound qi, merging it into his own physique to increase strength.
Standing before him was the massive king corpse that Yang Yan had acquired in Beizhou in the human world!
He had kept it inside him all along, only releasing it now.
"Just wait, once I've killed a few more people and you drink more fresh blood, then accommodate the drop of Witch Divine Clan blood," Yang Yan thought to himself.
With a flick of his fingers, the heart's blood from the three peak immortal realm cultivators he had just devoured was sent into the giant corpse.
There was an ominous sound within the giant corpse, like a beast drinking blood, the noise was incredibly terrifying.
"Continue!"
Yang Yan retracted the giant corpse, gathered the three storage bags from the ground, and his figure vanished from the scene.
On a great mountain, a man and a woman descended.
The man was handsome, elegant, exuding an immortal-like aura.
The woman was captivating, beautiful, possessing the beauty of a fairy from the heavens.
They stood back to back, gracefully, like a perfect pair.
These two were geniuses from the Shuiyue Immortal Sect within the heavenly forces.
The man was named Lv Xia, and the woman was named Miao Ling.
They were cultivators about to become Dao companions; once they reached the King Realm, they could form a Dao partnership.
In the Shuiyue Immortal Sect, they would obtain a Cave of Heaven, Blessed Land.
Their rankings on the Earthly List were also not low.
One ranked 4,200 and the other 5,300.
If the two joined forces to use the divine arts for dual cultivation from the Shuiyue Immortal Sect, Water, Sky, Stars, and Moon, their strength would advance further.
"Senior Brother, do you think Yang Yan is as powerful as Master said?" Miao Ling asked.
Lv Xia raised his eyebrows lightly, his stance ethereal.
"Perhaps not as powerful as Master described him, but he is definitely not weak.
We must be cautious when facing him."
"Mm, Senior Brother, when we first meet Yang Yan, should we use the Xuanlong Sword Energy bestowed upon us by Master?" Miao Ling followed up with a question.
Lv Xia pondered for a moment.
"The Xuanlong Sword Energy is immensely powerful, and even a Saint King might not be able to withstand it.
It's unlikely that Yang Yan could withstand it either.
So facing him and unleashing Xuanlong Sword Energy, we'd definitely strike him down instantly.
But given how strong Xuanlong Sword Energy is, using it to deal with someone of the same generation whose background is unknown, like Yang Yan, seems rather wasteful.
Why don't we first meet him, use our dual divine arts, Water, Sky, Stars, and Moon, to test his strength first?
If he proves to be very strong and we can't handle him, then we can use the Xuanlong Sword Energy."
"But what if Yang Yan really is very strong? If we don't use the Xuanlong Sword Energy right away, aren't we giving him a chance?"
"Haha, Junior Sister, even if he's strong, could he take us both down at once?" Lv Xia laughed.
"Remember, our joint effort can even last against a Saint for two moves.
Could Yang Yan be as strong as a Saint?"
"That's true, then let's go with Senior Brother's plan!" Miao Ling replied.
Bang!
Two fists suddenly struck out from the void, hitting Lv Xia and Miao Ling on their heads.
