Chapter 817: Chapter 39: The Myriad Transformations Grand Longevity Tribulation
Facing this sudden killing tribulation that emerged, Zhou Yan’s mind stirred, and he likewise derived twelve War Beast Sword Souls.
Each Sword Soul corresponded to a Void Soul of Lee Ran derived from the Heavenly Tribulation.
However, in terms of combat power, Zhou Yan’s strength was far inferior to Lee Ran’s. At the moment of intersection between the twelve Xingyi Sword Souls and the corresponding Heavenly Tribulation Sword Soul, Zhou Yan immediately felt a powerful suppression on each Sword Soul.
It was almost like decaying wood being swept away.
In just an instant, the twelve War Beast Sword Souls were nearly all annihilated by the Heavenly Tribulation. If it weren’t for Zhou Yan’s soul being strong and his immediate retraction of the Sword Souls upon their destruction, he would likely have suffered severe injuries.
Zhou Yan was shocked and terrified, and before he could react, the twelve Heavenly Tribulation Sword Souls of the opponent unexpectedly fused into one, forming a giant sword made of twelve souls, ferociously charging at Zhou Yan.
Zhou Yan felt a chill run through his body, and he immediately invoked the River Map and Luo Shu once more to desperately fend off an attack.
"Boom——"
Zhou Yan’s body was sent flying by the force of the countershock, crashing hard into a large mountain behind him, causing the mountain to crumble and rocks to fly.
However, after this move, Zhou Yan immediately grasped the trajectory and aura of the Heavenly Tribulation, suddenly seeming to comprehend something in a flash.
"The Xingyi Swordsmanship can actually be deployed this way? Moreover, that Heavenly Tribulation aura, it’s rich Origin Energy, similar to Soul Path Vast Qi, which can completely compensate for the Xuanyuan Sword’s deficiencies!"
Startled, Zhou Yan immediately performed the Emperor Qi Dragon Transformation Technique, devouring the Origin Energy from the heavens and the earth, infusing it into the Xuanyuan Sword’s Sword Soul.
The depleted Sword Soul almost instantly recovered rapidly.
However, at that moment, the Heavenly Tribulation’s lethal strike descended once more, forcing Zhou Yan to both wait for the Xuanyuan Sword’s Sword Soul to restore its divinity and struggle to cope.
Nine Orifice Exquisite Heart, Eye of Destruction, and Soul Path Vast Qi were all activated, and Zhou Yan entered a state of selflessness, seemingly having no thoughts or consciousness, forgetting self and objects.
From initially being at a disadvantage, to gradually leveling the playing field, and finally, to gradually gaining the upper hand.
Soon, the transformed Heavenly Tribulation was delayed, time passed, and the Heavenly Tribulation’s power gradually diminished. At this moment, Zhou Yan suddenly unleashed Emperor Xuan Yuan’s Energy, significantly boosting his boundless strength, his soul body power surged, and Zhou Yan, wielding Emperor Xuan Yuan’s Energy, slashed at the sky, cleaving the increasingly weakened form of Lee Ran derived from the Heavenly Tribulation.
After the disappearance of Lee Ran, a sudden appearance of a person was Lei Yan King.
The Heavenly Tribulation derived Lei Yan King, facing Zhou Yan.
"Devour, Demon Heart, Silent Annihilation Purple Flame!"
The methods of Lei Yan King appeared abruptly, almost suppressing the ancient past and subduing all things in the world.
Yet Zhou Yan, holding the Xuanyuan Sword, remained unmoved like a mountain, his Realm suddenly elevated, the Heavenly Tribulation’s power though enhanced was far less than his increase.
However, Zhou Yan knew this was a clever maneuver, a desperate confrontation, so he almost instantly exerted his strongest combat power, activating various abilities, and with one sword, killed Lei Yan King derived from the Heavenly Tribulation.
"Puchi——"
The void shattered, followed by another person derived from the Heavenly Tribulation walking out, this person being a little girl in red.
Everything seemed so real, frighteningly real.
But at this moment, Zhou Yan recalled what his brother said about ’using all means necessary,’ seemingly pointing to something, thus once again as if gaining an opportunity, entered into the realm of forgetting self and matter.
"Puchi——"
This sword was struck without hesitation, but was neutralized and resolved by the little girl in red with one finger from the Heavenly Vaulting Giant Finger.
However, Zhou Yan did not only have one sword, after his sword struck, Zhou Yan’s invincible Xingyi Fist Intent descended, and the giant sword of twelve souls mimicked Lee Ran’s earlier move, followed seamlessly, instantly annihilating the little girl in red transformed by this Heavenly Tribulation.
The little girl in red was, naturally, Yanyan.
Only, this was transformed by the Heavenly Tribulation.
Zhou Yan killed without moving his heart.
True and false, illusions, and the Seven Emotions and Six Desires, these fundamental tests are often the most terrifying.
The Heavenly Tribulation faded away.
This was the first wave of the three great Heavenly Tribulations.
After this wave of Heavenly Tribulations dissipated, the world was temporarily quiet.
Zhou Yan exited the Emperor Xuan Yuan’s Energy state, feeling an agony akin to dying, he collapsed on the ground, unable to move, even the Xuanyuan Sword seemed to have withered, with fine cracks appearing on its blade.
However, this piece of heaven and earth was exceedingly effective for the recovery of the Xuanyuan Sword.
The Xuanyuan Sword was gradually recovering, and if it were to be used again, at the soonest, it might take an hour.
But an hour... most likely the more terrifying Heavenly Tribulation would have to be faced, and whether or not it could be endured was uncertain.
...
Half an hour later, Zhou Yan barely managed to forcibly recover to a state that could still be considered peak, and at this moment, the sky suddenly changed color.
Suddenly, the Heavenly Tribulation, which seemed very ordinary and normal to cultivators descended upon Zhou Yan’s head.
The previous humanoid slaughter Heavenly Tribulation had a terrifying aura, shattering all space into black holes in its path; however, this time’s Heavenly Tribulation except for the extreme pressure in its momentum, showed no unusual manifestations as the lightning passed by, its aura not initially so astonishing.
However, this does not mean that the power is not strong!
Zhou Yan can distinctly sense that this heavenly tribulation has extremely concentrated power; the energy is not consumed by the space, like a Venerable or even an Immortal Level expert who can control the energy with perfect precision. Such a heavenly tribulation is truly terrifying!
The color of the tribulation changes unpredictably, ultimately forming a dazzling array of colors.
Colorful giant lightning crashes down, but suddenly halts a kilometer above Zhou Yan’s head. In that instant, the lightning transforms into a colorful vortex, and countless energies madly surge into it, including the tribulation lightning from the sky and all energies from this Immortal Realm...
Black clouds keep gathering, and the vortex keeps spinning. The vortex’s color transitions from dazzling multicolor to dense multicolor, then merges into flecked colors that, relatively speaking, bring a much larger and more terrifying pressure!
And at this moment, within the vortex, a star-like void gradually forms. The star nebula evolves into space resembling a universe.
In this space, storms once again brew...
Zhou Yan feels a heavy oppression and pressure surge in his heart!
Such a situation was also unexpected for Zhou Yan. As he ponders, he releases his full strength, charging skyward toward the space above his head.
...
Zhou Yan’s figure suddenly appears at the boundary of the star nebula space. At that moment, a fierce purple flame appears abruptly above Zhou Yan’s head, the heart of it being purple and the outer flame being purple-gold, as if it might burn through the Ten Thousand Realms and incinerate Ba Huang.
This is the ultimate form of the Silent Annihilation Purple Flame!
Spurred by the current techniques of the Lei Yan King, Zhou Yan also deploys such a technique!
"Sizzle—"
The star nebula space continuously evolves, emitting countless frightening sounds of space fracturing and being ravaged.
"Boom—!"
Suddenly, the entire center of the heavenly tribulation resembles a massive cosmic explosion, with countless fire meteors dashing toward Zhou Yan’s head from the star nebula space. The momentum transcends raging seas or furious tempest.
"Crash—"
A startling thunder appears out of nowhere, tearing through the darkness of the void and splitting the heavens and earth into countless fragments. This thunderous sound, like ancient divine thunder, blasts into Zhou Yan’s ears and mind, momentarily stripping him of all ability to think.
At this moment, time stretches infinitely. Cultivators in Earth’s cultivation world all lift their heads in shock, as if witnessing and hearing and even feeling everything firsthand. Yet, they astonishingly find themselves unable to resist, as if frozen in time.
Imagine the terrifying nature of such an attack, even from miles away!
"Who is undergoing this tribulation?"
"Such terror, sufficient to obliterate starry skies and vast cosmos—someone actually enduring this?"
"Is this Zhou Yan undergoing the Great Transmutation Longevity Tribulation? Unexpectedly, he has reached such powerful heights!"
The cultivators, stunned by the overwhelming aura of this heavenly tribulation, murmur to themselves in astonishment.
...
The tribulation evolves into a cosmic explosion; this kind of heavenly tribulation is truly bizarre, reaching unknown realms and levels, and Zhou Yan is in no mood to perceive it.
After contemplation, Zhou Yan decides to exert all his energy, dragging time as long as possible. If he can break the tribulation with force, he will attempt it! This tribulation demands nothing less than utmost effort; it is incredibly perilous!
Zhou Yan coldly eyes the incoming barrage of endless flames and meteor shards, suddenly merging twelve War Beast Divine Souls and the seven Ancient Sword Bodies into one, activating the Nine Orifice Exquisite Heart to form the gigantic Soul Giant Sword. The giant sword materializes in the shape of an Xuanyuan Sword, striking out a Xingyi Swordsmanship Supreme Dao toward the tribulation.
Zhou Yan’s figure flickers, his gaze remains cold and sharp as he returns to his original spot after a brief moment.
In that instant, Zhou Yan executes a strike, then returns to the Void Land as if instantaneously, unleashing unparalleled combat power.
"Boom!"
Suddenly, an extremely dull muffled sound resonates from the void.
The sky quiets down, the entire void, seemingly so silent that even the sound of dust could be heard, yet in that instant, a chill flashes across the heavens—a chill that pierces through the universe!
This chill banishes all else; the world remains only with this chill.
The chill flickers, brightening the sky, and everything falls into eerie stillness. The heavenly tribulation vanishes.
With a single strike, Zhou Yan shatters this cycle of heavenly tribulation entirely!
Relying solely on robust strength, he forcibly fragments and dissolves this terrifying cycle of heavenly tribulation, the burst of supreme combat and destructive power is unimaginably formidable!
This scene will certainly be recorded in space-time, forming a new myth in coming ages—like ’Xingtian’s Dance with Shield and Axe’, perhaps this will be ’Zhou Yan’s Furious Slash at the Sky’.
At this moment, even Zhou Yan feels he might have left a legend for future generations—an indestructible myth!
"Phew—"
Zhou Yan exhales a deep breath, feeling as though his bones have dissipated, with his Essence Qi, spirit, and vitality converging at a point, leaving him somewhat fatigued after the burst.
Yet, the Great Transmutation Longevity Tribulation is far from being just two or three bouts.
Zhou Yan has no choice but to employ Nirvana Rebirth Technique and Silent Annihilation Rebirth Technique, suppressing the impulse to vomit from vexation, and prepares once more.
