"Tian Ku, I've been watching you for three whole years, today you think you can escape?! What a delusion!"

From within the Holy Spirit Barrier, came the voice of the elderly man in a gray robe with brown long hair.

The aura of the Xuanyuan Sword Fragment emanated from the sword in his hand.

"Xuan Mo Venerable, we are both in the Fifth Realm of Venerable, do not go too far! Do you really think I'd fear you?"

The Venerable named 'Tian Ku' was also in a gray robe, but his whole body was bloodstained, clearly wounded.

"Die!"

Xuan Mo Venerable's face was cold, and the golden sword in his hand suddenly thrust out, the powerful aura making this entire domain tremble as if the entire Star Domain was shaking.

He struck out with his sword, killing intent overflowing, spreading over the four fields, and at the same time, that sword was like a celestial strike, radiant and terrifying.

This sword seemed to pierce the Tianhe, gathering horrendous combat power, instantly striking towards Tian Ku Venerable.

Tian Ku Venerable's eyes widened instantaneously, as if frozen, but in the next moment, his whole body trembled, and outside his Venerable Body appeared terrifying Domain Rule chains, rapidly intertwining into an incomparably complete mirrored light shield!

"Boom!"

Xuan Mo Venerable's invincible sword struck, yet the sword light was reflected back, as if Xuan Mo Venerable's own sword was attacking himself.

The sword in Xuan Mo's hand trembled, and this killing intent was immediately retracted, but he struck out again with a cutting-path-like strike.

This sword was stronger and more fierce, as if fully understanding Tian Ku's deflection method.

"Boom—"

This sword, without any flourish, suddenly hit the mirrored light shield with formidable strength, and this time the surface did not reflect, but suddenly shattered.

In that instant, it was as if mountains collapsed and seas roared, the heavens crumbled and the earth split, destructive to the extreme.

The Tai Chu Yin Qi derived by Zhou Yan was struck, almost being driven back nearly ten thousand miles in an instant.

However, Zhou Yan returned to the scene with chaotic aura, and at this moment he saw the two engaged in battle once more.

Furious energy turned the world upside down, surging like a great ocean. It was like the ocean suddenly shattered and scattered, the giant waves engulfing the heavens and earth, then everything was obliterated.

In such energy, Xuan Mo Venerable wielding the golden long sword suddenly fused body and sword as one, thrusting out a sword that instantly hit Tian Ku Venerable's chest.

"Poof—"

At that moment, Tian Ku Venerable's hand suddenly reached for his chest, enlarging in an instant, composed of endless blood light, grasping the sword's tip.

But that sword was incomparably strong, even after a momentary pause, it still pierced through the bleeding hand.

The bleeding hand shattered, transformed into a dark, indistinct object, disintegrated in the void, and turned into endless blood fog.

But at this time, Tian Ku Venerable's eyes flashed with a chilling gleam, with an anomaly appearing in his pupils as if the whole Dark God Domain was being opened, like a star river reversing and towering waves in his gaze.

His black, withered hair flying, as if suddenly merging with Heaven and Earth, when Xuan Mo Venerable's sword pierced his Venerable Body, his whole being erupted with terrifying Thunder Power.

This Thunder Power was like a true Void Thunder Tribulation, incredibly terrifying.

Thunder flashed, catching Xuan Mo Venerable off guard, instantly striking him, his whole body emitting terrible black smoke and a foul stench.

But this stench suddenly spread, causing Tian Ku Venerable to feel dizzy abruptly, unable to carry out his subsequent lethal move.

Xuan Mo Venerable's eyes turned blood-red, he condensed powerful Domain power, combining it with Sword Dao, and fiercely pierced through, penetrating Tian Ku Venerable's chest.

Tian Ku Venerable's Venerable Body emitted dreadful explosion sounds, his Venerable Soul nearly morphing the Venerable Body into three Dao bodies instantly, but still got pierced through by the sword, unable to escape.

"You—you—do you know my attack method?"

Tian Ku Venerable suddenly looked horrified, shocked.

"I have deduced billions of times your attack method, waiting for you for three years, to ensure I slay you here!"

Xuan Mo Venerable said coldly.

"You—there was no great enmity between us, we are both of the Human Clan—"

"You captured the Speech Spirit Heavenly Girl, did you think I wouldn't know? Such a Speech Spirit Heavenly Girl, once possessed, can seize the Gift of Word Spirit, what you say becomes real, allowing the Divine Soul to undergo a speech spirit-like transformation, drawing closer to the level of the Immortal Evil Soul! Such benefits, if I didn't know, fine, but knowing, would I let you have it all?"

Xuan Mo Venerable laughed coldly.

"You you you—"

Tian Ku Venerable was astonished and finally panic-stricken.

"You mercilessly slew such obedient disciples, refined them into bones, destroyed their bodies, such means, and you have the gall to talk about the Human Clan with me? Slaying you is my contribution to the Human Clan!"

Xuan Mo Venerable laughed fiercely.

"You—you should die! The Speech Spirit Heavenly Girl is mine, I've already seized, don't even think about it!"

Tian Ku Venerable's eyes seemed to spit fire, roaring in anger! His body suddenly erupted, soaring into the sky, manifesting overwhelming power of Speech Spirit Runes.

"No need to disguise, I know that the Speech Spirit Heavenly Girl has not yet been conquered by you, you haven't found sufficient Void Spirit Bodies to recover the Soul Loss left when you captured her, thus seizing her virgin primordial Yin to obtain the Gift of Word Spirit is futile.

An incomplete talent is of no use to us.

And now, you've just gathered enough Void Spirits, and I've been waiting here, waiting for you to finish everything, for me to reap!"

Xuan Mo Venerable resisted Tian Ku Venerable's onslaught but continued to provoke with words.

The Sky Drying Venerable finally showed emotion, his eyes flashing with a terrifying intent to kill.

He suddenly tore at his chest, pulling out a blood-colored light shield, which, when infused with his essence blood, immediately turned into a mountain-sized Shield Mountain.

With a single thought, the giant shield moved to suppress Xuan Mo Venerable. This intent to kill had increased combat power by an entire realm!

From the Fifth Realm of Venerable, it seemed to have elevated to the Sixth Realm of Venerable.

Caught off guard by this move, Xuan Mo Venerable was immediately struck, vomiting blood repeatedly.

The Sky Drying Venerable's expression was fierce, his killing intent violent. He continuously drove the Blood Shield Mountain, ceaselessly battering Xuan Mo Venerable.

Xuan Mo Venerable was in utter disarray, spitting blood repeatedly, completely overwhelmed after the sudden attack.

Meanwhile, the Sky Drying Venerable fought with increasing ferocity, seemingly completely suppressing Xuan Mo Venerable.

It wasn't until the moment Xuan Mo Venerable was about to be killed, seeing the deadly strike of that enormous Shield Mountain, that the Sky Drying Venerable finally breathed a sigh of relief.

However, just at that moment, as soon as the Sky Drying Venerable relaxed, the invincible Shield Mountain suddenly cracked, with several fissures appearing on it.

But this was just the beginning.

At that moment, the sword in Xuan Mo Venerable's hand suddenly unleashed an almost immortal strike, a terrifying sword absorbing all the light and energy between heaven and earth.

"Swish—"

Like a deadly fierce light.

The light flashed, piercing through the entire body of the Sky Drying Venerable with a single sword.

This one sword seemed as if demonized, piercing entirely through the Sky Drying Venerable, slicing him in two, and then it began to voraciously devour the venerable body and soul of the Sky Drying Venerable.

Like a blood demon feasting and drinking blood!

This sword seemed as if it was demonized!

At this moment, Zhou Yan's heart suddenly sank, and an uncontrollable sense of agitation surged within him.

It was also at this moment that Zhou Yan felt as if he was being watched by a fierce beast, and he immediately realized that he had been discovered by the Xuan Mo Venerable.

However, Zhou Yan pretended not to notice and continued to wander, quietly leaving.

Xuan Mo Venerable, on the other hand, acted as if he hadn't noticed anything, paying no heed.

More than a hundred thousand miles away from the battlefield, Zhou Yan returned to his original appearance, and then calmly began slaughtering Void Spirits.

Within the Holy Spirit Barrier, as Zhou Yan slaughtered Void Spirits and Heavenly Demons, he discovered that the Xuanyuan Evil Soul within the Xuanyuan Sword would autonomously devour the power of the Void Spirits and Heavenly Demons, independently transforming.

This phenomenon existed outside, albeit subtly, but here the devouring was fierce, as if revealing its true nature, possibly provoked by the earlier scene, triggering the Nine Orifice Exquisite Evil Heart to activate its mimicry effect.

Zhou Yan pondered silently, contemplating certain matters, then suddenly looked up, seemingly surprised as he looked ahead.

Ahead, there was Xuan Mo Venerable, holding a golden sword, stepping unsteadily as if suffered significant injuries, appearing ready to collapse at any moment.

"Young friend, you—huh? Are you the Zhou Yan, who was once renowned in the Dark God Domain, comprehended the Ultimate Secret Technique of the Heavenly Sword Immortal Pool, manifested the Immortal Dao Totem in the void? The genius Zhou Yan sheltered by the Sumeru Immortal Mountain?"

As the Xuan Mo Venerable spoke to Zhou Yan, his gaze occasionally swept over the sword in Zhou Yan's hand, and suddenly his eyes narrowed as he recognized Zhou Yan's identity.

Zhou Yan wasn't surprised, as he himself was aware of his renowned deeds in the Dark God Domain. What was strange about being recognized by a venerable?

Zhou Yan smiled slightly, maintaining a calm demeanor, neither servile nor arrogant, "Indeed, I am that Zhou Yan, currently here in the Holy Spirit Barrier on a mission for Purgatory Refiner advancement. I wonder if senior has any instructions?"

"Haha, indeed, indeed, heroes come from youth. With talents like you in the Dark God Domain, there's hope for the future."

The Xuan Mo Venerable smiled slightly, complimenting him.

"You flatter me, venerable. My realm is low, and my strength is weak. It is mere luck that I have come this far."

Zhou Yan responded humbly.

"Zhou Yan, you are too humble. The Ultimate Secret Technique of the Heavenly Sword Immortal Pool has been secretly explored by many venerables, yet none could comprehend it. I, Xuan Mo, have long yearned for it, but alas—I cannot see it in my lifetime. I was previously chased by a venerable, suffered unfortunate injuries, and in this Holy Spirit Barrier, survival is scarce."

The Xuan Mo Venerable spoke thoughtfully.

"If the venerable wishes to witness it, I can demonstrate for you, although this place is excessively perilous, we must be careful."

Zhou Yan replied thoughtfully.

"Hmm, you are right. Although I am injured, I can still guard you a bit. As fellow members of the Human Clan, you can make my wish come true, proving you are a person of great courage. Your future is bound to be immeasurable."

Xuan Mo Venerable also mused.

It seemed he was pondering something important amid his words.

Only after his words concluded did he seem to have calculated the result, thus suddenly declaring, "To avoid your notice, you actually set a shielding forbidden array here? Do you think I can't find you this way?"

"Venerable senior, what are you saying?"

Zhou Yan asked in surprise.

"Heh, you've saved me much trouble. You die here; who could know? I was worried you'd escape, but you hid within this forbidden array. What a pity..."

Xuan Mo Venerable said as he suddenly suppressed Zhou Yan with a terrifying domain, the golden sword light in his hand slashing frightfully towards Zhou Yan's head.

This strike presented overwhelming momentum pressure and a terrifying domain lock, making Zhou Yan seem suddenly frozen, utterly unable to resist.

This strike made it clear that Xuan Mo Venerable didn't want to leave any loose ends, nor give Zhou Yan the chance to show his trump card. He intended to annihilate Zhou Yan instantaneously, therefore Xuan Mo Venerable employed his full combat power, without a shred of underestimation!
