The Blood River remains.

The chains of Order remain.

This space surrounded by the Blood River, however, is filled with a dense concentration of life energy.

The life energy gradually gathered into the withered body of the Wan Hun Ancestor, restoring vitality to his body.

What is being restored is not just the body, but the Venerable Soul, and it's a breakthrough of the chains of Order, an act of transcendence.

How could a place of suppression possibly allow for transcendence?

If one truly wishes to transcend, the price to be paid must certainly be substantial.

This is a truth any cultivator can understand.

Wan Hun Ancestor understands, and so does Zhou Yan.

Yet, there is no other choice, for this world no longer affords a cultivator any choice.

There is only one path. They must walk it; whether they do or don't, they must still walk it.

Alternatively, surrender and die.

Thus, living is often a more painful ordeal than dying.

Under such circumstances, persisting for ninety-nine days, let alone a single day, seems exceedingly difficult.

But since Zhou Yan has agreed, he will fulfill his promise, no matter if heaven and earth crumble, or the star river shatters, he will strive to achieve it.

Zhou Yan watched as the Wan Hun Ancestor swallowed half of the Heart-soothing Spring, feeling the pressure gradually ease but then rapidly intensify again to a limit.

Because, with the recovery of the Wan Hun Ancestor's Venerable Soul, the chains of Order began to fluctuate.

From initially slow, to gradually faster, then to a frenzied vibration, roaring.

Chaos of thunderous purple light mountains illuminated heaven and earth, destructive heavenly tribulations emerged, descending upon the world like unsurpassed calamities.

This was a terrifying upheaval.

Amidst this turmoil, the Blood River finally began to rage, and this rage was beyond normal, an unimaginable fury.

Blood light like flowing light clashed with the heavens, the raging power erupted in all directions, shaking heaven and earth.

Those bubbles floating in the void shattered one by one, unleashing a flood of Yin Spirits and Heavenly Demons like torrential rain pouring from the sky, appearing everywhere.

The void was in chaos, more bubbles shattered, releasing many Yin Spirits, bustling yet overwhelmed by the furious breath of the Blood River, many perished.

Though many Yin Spirits died, more Yin Spirit Sky Demons survived, and these were more powerful Yin Spirit Sky Demons.

This world was in utter chaos, if this place broke apart, the endless Yin Spirits and Heavenly Demons would escape from the Void Sword Mountain, becoming a true catastrophe.

Zhou Yan was impacted by the Blood River but merely guarded, not attacking.

The assault of the Blood River, for the current him, held no destructive threat; Zhou Yan even conserved strength, only defending and evading.

Avoiding the impacts of the Blood River.

This area, due to the rage of the Blood River, had no Yin Spirits or Heavenly Demons entering, unable to disturb the recovery of Wan Hun Ancestor Wan Jian Tian.

But all of this had only just begun.

Zhou Yan's heart surged; even with his calmness, he felt his heart beat erratically, unable to stay composed.

Because amid the endless chains of Order, one suddenly broke.

And the broken chain instantly sank into the depths of the Blood River.

The Blood River shuddered, and from its depths burst forth an unparalleled roar.

The sound shattered the heavenly vault, fragmented the Blood River, and the blood within surged upward.

Within the Blood River, it was as if a magnitude nine earthquake had occurred.

Even Zhou Yan couldn't help but change his expression at this moment.

An unrivaled fierce being had been released.

To suppress Wan Hun Ancestor Wan Jian Tian, the being must be no weakling; even if it had slumbered for endless epochs, that fact wouldn't change.

Zhou Yan took out the Xuanyuan Sword, wielded the Soul Suppressing Bow; the prior rest had brought him to a new peak, now his combat power activated, Emperor Blood manifested, breaking through combat power nine.

He stood immovable before the space of Wan Hun Ancestor, guarding the area, prepared to slay any Heavenly Demons or other ferocious spirits that sought to disrupt Wan Hun Ancestor's recovery.

"Buzz—"

Suddenly, from the depths of the Blood River came a wave of destruction, rippling and instantly shattering the Blood River in all directions.

Like a wave of destruction, it scattered instantly, dense Tai Chu Yin Spirits and Heavenly Demons turned to dust in an instant, leaving nothing behind.

The Blood River was abruptly cleared, exposed.

Zhou Yan was immediately under immense pressure.

At this moment, a gleam of Heavenly Mechanism radiance unexpectedly fluttered in the sky, manifesting the figure of a distinctive old man.

Upon seeing this figure, Zhou Yan's gaze immediately sharpened.

"Zhou Yan, you focus outside, I'll protect the rear. This is the Yellow Bell, refining the essence of heaven and earth, capable of providing absolute protection. It is an Extreme Immortal Weapon."

The newcomer is Zhu Ge Tianchen.

Without a word, he immediately wants to wield the Immortal Weapon, but Zhou Yan intercepts him, even about to take action against Zhu Ge Tianchen.

"Evil Venerate, he is trustworthy and is the only one besides you who can guard us."

Zhu Ge Tianchen feels helpless, and from behind, the voice of Wan Hun Ancestor, Wan Jian Tian, emerges.

Zhou Yan finally understands and steps aside.

The Yellow Bell flies out with a "thud" sound, enveloping Wan Hun Ancestor, overruling all the Order Chains, as if providing an Eternal Guardian with no blind spots.

Zhu Ge Tianchen doesn't speak further, sits down immediately, and begins to chant mysterious runes, these runes resonating with the essence of the Immortal Path, revealing a breath of the heavens and earth.

The gigantic Yellow Bell starts emitting subtle 'dong, dong, dong' sounds, resonating with the heaven and earth, forming an inexplicable balance of Tao Light.

And Zhou Yan, coming to his senses, lets out a slight sigh of relief.

At this moment, a suddenly ancient corpse flies out from the previous Blood River Land.

It is an immensely ancient corpse, exuding powerful Blood Qi over its entire body. Though lacking bloodlines, the Blood Qi is overwhelmingly potent, evident of its astonishing prime days.

This corpse is female, yet so withered that it's hard to distinguish gender. Her robes are exceedingly peculiar, like a fragmented War Armor Gown clumped together, exuding a rotting aura.

As she appears, she strikes a palm directly out.

With a "boom", the entire vicinity is shattered, with Zhou Yan taking the primary impact, suffering a significant blow.

Almost instinctively, Zhou Yan pulls out the Soul Suppressing Bow, unleashing a formidable assault with its weighty force against the palm's power.

With a "bang", as they clash, Zhou Yan feels a massive shock in his palm, the tremendous force nearly shattering his hand.

Yet, Zhou Yan doesn't take a step back. Having nearly solidified an Invincible Battle Body, experienced the Immortal Path, and formed two Immortal Soul Embryos, his Divine Body transformation has reached an extremity, and now almost being knocked down by a single palm—a truly shocking revelation!

The corpse doesn't retreat either, remaining frozen for a moment, her fierce eyes fixating on Zhou Yan, taking step after step, each causing a tremor in the space.

Zhou Yan, shocked within, almost immediately conjures the Ancestor Thunder Killing Domain, deriving the Soul Destruction rules arrow, releasing it at ultimate speed.

"Pssh——"

The terrifying arrow nearly pierces through the corpse's brow, but at that moment, the corpse abruptly moves, grabbing the arrow.

The arrow vibrates intensely in her hand, yet eventually shatters under her immense force.

Zhou Yan's derived rule explodes, obliterating the arrow, while simultaneously firing several more arrows.

However, these arrows, like rays of light, are all caught by the corpse's hand.

"Shatter!"

With a cold command, the entire cluster of arrows suddenly explodes, along with the first arrow, forming a destructive Killing Domain.

"Boom!"

The muffled explosion causes half of the corpse's arm to disintegrate into nothingness, nearly inflicting a wound.

However, the corpse shows no change, the lost arm rapidly regenerating before the naked eye, subsequently restoring itself completely.

This entire process takes only a single breath.

Zhou Yan's pupils contract—this is practically unkillable and indestructible!

"Demon Heart and Soul Devouring, Xuanyuan Sword Venerate!"

Suddenly, Zhu Ge Tianchen speaks up.

Zhou Yan shivers all over, immediately realizing a unique effect of combining Immortal Path verbal linguistics.

The next moment, all of Zhou Yan's Taos vanish, the Soul Suppressing Bow disappears, and the Xuanyuan Sword appears in Zhou Yan's hand.

In an instant, Zhou Yan activates Demon Heart Sword Body and Soul-controlling Sword Body, simultaneously displaying the combination of Demon Heart and Soul Devouring Domains.

That moment, Zhou Yan suddenly enters an Emperor's Realm, experiencing a distinct state of Evil Heart.

He feels an unprecedented synergy with Xuanyuan Evil Soul, breaking another limit, showcasing a stronger form.

In the next moment, Zhou Yan utilizes himself as a sword, his soul merging with Xuanyuan Evil Soul, unleashing a destruction killing intent.

"Buzz——"

Zhou Yan strikes forth with his sword, a black ravine forming in the void.

The corpse decisively sends forth another palm, its unwithdrawn hand striking out anew with its freshly regrown arm.

"Crack——"

Palm after palm impact, collapsing the ground and shattering the void.

The massive impact seems ready to obliterate Zhou Yan, crushing the Yellow-Bell entirely, annihilating everything here.

Alas, as the giant hand force crashes before Zhou Yan, it is abruptly severed into several pieces by Xuanyuan Evil Soul, as if instantaneously cutting off the link, while simultaneously, Zhou Yan instinctively devours the fragmented hand force energy, his combat power surging by a tier instantaneously.

But as his combat power ascends, Zhou Yan notices that the level of his Emperor Blood transformation suddenly drops.

At this moment, Zhou Yan immediately comprehends this attack is a life potential overdraft method, the former Demon Heart embodying such assaults unbeknownst to himself, but now, it's evident this utilizes the potential of the Emperor Blood transformation to project combat power.
