The elders of the Chen clan's imperial palace had shifting expressions, a deep sense of dread rising within them.
They were certain that Zhou Yan was a terrifying existence.
"Whoosh!"
Just then, several powerful figures from the Chen clan's imperial palace suddenly moved with extreme speed, disappearing into the distance in the blink of an eye.
"Running quite fast!"
Zhou Yan curved his lips slightly into a smile. His figure flickered, and he too vanished.
Zhou Yan wasn't worried about them playing any tricks. With the arrogance of a Royal-level force, they would never deign to commit such a betrayal of their sect.
"Hoo! Hoo!"
"Hoo!"
Panting sounds echoed through the sky. Zhou Yan stood on the sheer cliff face of a precipice, looking down.
He saw numerous powerful individuals from the Chen clan's imperial palace rushing in from all directions, intending to intercept him from pursuing the Chen clan's ancestors and Chen Tianhai.
They were all at the peak of the Emperor realm, their strength surpassing Zhou Yan's. If they didn't seize the opportunity to capture the Chen clan's ancestors and Chen Tianhai now, they would be in trouble once their companions arrived.
Zhou Yan looked at the Chen clan's imperial palace members below, his gaze as cold as ice, his heart boiling with killing intent. Towering malevolent energy erupted from him, making him appear like a demon god looking down on the world.
"Since you all wish to die so badly, I shall fulfill your desires today!"
"Buzz~!"
In the next moment, a dazzling light of lightning exploded from Zhou Yan's body, and a powerful aura permeated the air.
The power of thunder erupted from him, as if he had transformed into a demon king, looking down upon the world with overwhelming dominance.
Zhou Yan stomped his feet forcefully, and the entire void shook violently, as if great mountains were collapsing. Terrifying waves of energy rolled in, causing the Chen clan's imperial palace members below to spew blood.
Zhou Yan's strength was simply too formidable; they could not withstand the oppressive pressure of his aura.
"How can this guy's combat power be so terrifying?"
"No, we absolutely cannot confront him head-on. We can only use cunning!"
The Chen clan's imperial palace members' eyes lit up, and they quickly changed their strategy, intending to outwit him.
Although their strength was considerable, they did not dare to face Zhou Yan directly.
"Buzz~!"
Just then, a sharp piercing sound of wind suddenly echoed.
Zhou Yan looked up and saw a meteor streaking across the void towards him at breakneck speed, as fast as a falling star, emanating a fierce killing intent.
It was a spear, entirely golden in color, as if cast from pure gold, radiating a searing light.
This was an offensive divine weapon!
"Hmph!"
Zhou Yan let out a dismissive cold snort, a flicker of mockery in his eyes. He thrust his right palm forward, striking the golden spear with all his might.
"Bang~!"
A dull thudding sound suddenly rang out.
On Zhou Yan's palm, the golden spear actually cracked inch by inch, eventually turning into a pile of fragments that fell from the void.
"What?"
"This... how is this possible?"
Seeing this, the pupils of several Emperor-level martial artists beside Zhou Yan widened to the size of saucers, their faces filled with disbelief.
With a single palm strike, he shattered their Emperor-level imperial weapon. Who exactly was this Zhou Yan?
"Little beast, who exactly are you?"
"There can't be such a monstrous talent in this world!"
Several powerhouses from the Chen clan's imperial palace looked horrified, their eyes filled with disbelief.
They had never encountered such a terrifying prodigy as Zhou Yan.
"Zhou Yan, you have some serious guts to dare to trespass into our Chen clan's imperial palace! Today, I will ensure you have no return!"
A sinister laugh echoed, and an elder in a white robe slowly ascended, unleashing a terrifying aura that surged towards Zhou Yan like a tide, aiming to engulf him.
"Mid-Emperor Realm!"
Sensing the fluctuations emanating from the other party, Zhou Yan's brows furrowed slightly.
Emperor-level martial artists were indeed not to be trifled with.
"So what if you are in the Mid-Emperor Realm?"
Zhou Yan coldly snorted, and an even more potent fighting spirit erupted from his entire body, as if a god descending from the nine heavens.
"Boom~!"
In the next moment, a powerful aura burst forth from him again, like a divine sun emitting dazzling brilliance that shot straight into the clouds.
"Pfft~!"
The next moment, those Emperor-level martial artists from the Chen clan's imperial palace immediately spat out a mouthful of blood.
Emperor-level martial artists were no match for Zhou Yan.
Zhou Yan's physical body was too formidable; he could shatter Mid-Emperor Realm martial artists with a single punch and crush Early-Emperor Realm martial artists with a single palm.
"Damn it, run!"
Seeing this, the faces of these martial artists from the Chen clan's imperial palace changed drastically, and they quickly turned to flee, completely disregarding the Chen clan's ancestors and Chen Tianhai.
"Whoosh~!"
A sound of wind breaking through the air erupted, and a young Emperor-level martial artist from the Chen clan's imperial palace retreated rapidly, attempting to escape the area.
However, no matter how fast he was, could he be faster than Zhou Yan's lightning?
With a single step, Zhou Yan appeared before him. He extended his right palm and sent the youth flying hundreds of feet away, causing him to cough up blood profusely.
"You... who are you? Why are you obstructing our Chen clan's imperial palace? Please let us off!"
"Our Chen clan's imperial palace does not wish to offend a genius anomaly. We implore you to spare our Chen clan!"
The young man's face was pleading, his demeanor appearing pitiable.
"Hmph, my patience is limited. Give me five minutes. If you do not hand over your Emperor-level divine artifacts, do not blame me for my ruthlessness!"
Upon hearing this, the young man from the Chen clan's imperial palace froze for a moment, then his face turned ashen.
"What? Five minutes?"
"Are you insane?"
"I am the young master of the Chen clan's imperial palace, and I possess Emperor-level divine artifacts. How can I hand them over so casually? You are pushing your luck too far!"
The young man from the Chen clan's imperial palace roared in anger.
Emperor-level divine artifacts?
"Heh heh~!"
Zhou Yan gave a disdainful smile: "A mere Emperor-level divine artifact? I have plenty!"
"You... you dare to scorn our Emperor-level divine artifacts? You are seeking death!"
The young man from the Chen clan's imperial palace's face turned red, his eyeballs almost bulging out of their sockets.
"Today, I will not only kill you, but I will also destroy your entire Chen clan's imperial palace!"
Zhou Yan let out a cold snort and swung his right hand violently, sending a palm strike towards the youth.
Seeing this, the young man from the Chen clan's imperial palace was instantly terrified. His face turned pale, his eyelids twitched incessantly, and his heart was filled with dread.
He knew that he was doomed.
Zhou Yan's palm print landed heavily on the chest of the young man from the Chen clan's imperial palace, shattering his bones, causing blood to spurt from his nose and mouth, and leaving no part of his body intact.
"Thump~!"
The corpse of the young man from the Chen clan's imperial palace fell straight to the ground, his eyes wide open, filled with fear.
"You... who are you? How can you possess Emperor-level divine artifacts?"
This scene shocked everyone present, filling them with immense astonishment. Some disciples of the Chen clan's imperial palace couldn't help but ask.
"Who I am is not important. You only need to know that I am here to grant you liberation!"
"Today, I will send you on your way!"
