Before him lay the vast void, but beneath his feet, a passage existed, and above that passage, a stone gate had appeared.
The stone gate was blood-red, looking extremely bizarre.
"Zhou Yan, do you know who your enemy is?" A cold voice suddenly came from in front of Zhou Yan.
Upon hearing this, Zhou Yan slowly raised his head. When he saw the man in black, he couldn't help but be surprised. He hadn't expected that within Cloud Heaven Holy Land, there would be another expert at the Immortal Emperor realm.
This Immortal Emperor realm fellow was quite troublesome.
"Who are you?" Zhou Yan asked.
"You can call me Hei Feng!" the man in black said coldly.
Hei Feng!?
Zhou Yan couldn't help but gasp. He hadn't expected Hei Feng to have this name.
"Brother Hei Feng, you are still so young after all these years. It seems your strength hasn't grown slowly either," Zhou Yan said with a smile.
Hearing Zhou Yan's words, Hei Feng scratched the back of his head somewhat awkwardly and then said, "Not at all. I'm still far behind that fellow. However, it's precisely because of this that I haven't emerged from seclusion again these past few years."
"Naturally. That person's strength is extraordinary," Zhou Yan said.
"Let's not talk about him. By the way, I see your strength has recovered about seventy to eighty percent, hasn't it? It's time to return that space-type divine weapon of yours," Hei Feng said to Zhou Yan indifferently.
Hearing Hei Feng's words, Zhou Yan's eyebrows twitched, and he smiled.
"Since it's something you want, how could I not return it to you?"
With that, Zhou Yan waved his hand, and a golden dagger appeared in his palm.
Seeing the dagger in Zhou Yan's hand, Hei Feng's pupils contracted.
"This dagger is no ordinary item, and it's of the high-grade spiritual artifact level. It seems that Zhou Yan is truly willing to go to great lengths!"
Hei Feng looked at Zhou Yan and couldn't help but praise him.
Hearing Hei Feng's words, Zhou Yan smiled and said, "Although this dagger is not a top-tier divine weapon, its materials are very precious, and the refining time was also very short. Therefore, in a way, it can be considered a treasure of the high-grade spiritual artifact level."
Upon hearing Zhou Yan's words, Hei Feng's eyes turned fiery.
He also understood the meaning behind Zhou Yan's words.
"Haha, if the two of us join forces this time, that fellow is bound to lose. Not only that, but we can also seize this spiritual artifact-level dagger!" Hei Feng's eyes flickered with madness.
"That's right!" Zhou Yan nodded heavily and then gripped the golden saber in his palm.
"Then what are we waiting for?" Hei Feng urged.
In their line of sight, in the distance, powerful primordial spirit pressures were rapidly emerging and spreading out in all directions.
"Heh heh, that fellow finally can't hold back any longer. It seems this great battle is ultimately unavoidable," Zhou Yan said with a faint smile and then rushed towards the distance without hesitation.
Hei Feng followed closely behind.
Behind the two of them, a massive vortex appeared.
From within the vortex, an extreme spatial distortion force emanated, as if it were about to tear the entire world apart.
...
"Where is this place?"
Just as Zhou Yan arrived above that mountain peak, the mountain peak suddenly trembled. Cracks rapidly spread out, covering the surroundings.
On the mountain peak, a grand palace appeared, and within that palace were several men and women.
These individuals were surrounded by a dense purple mist.
Above their heads, a massive stone tablet stood in the air.
The stone tablet was inscribed with various patterns.
"This is Cloud Heaven Holy Land, and that person is the creator of this Cloud Heaven Holy Land, the Cloud Heaven Holy Lord," Hei Feng's voice reached Zhou Yan's ears.
Upon hearing Hei Feng's voice, Zhou Yan's heart trembled.
He hadn't expected that this Holy Lord City was actually built by the Cloud Heaven Holy Lord.
"Cloud Heaven Holy Lord!" Zhou Yan murmured to himself.
At this moment, deep within this Holy Lord City, in a grand hall filled with ancient and desolate feelings, a middle-aged man slowly walked out.
"Cloud Heaven Holy Lord, you have finally awakened. I have found the item you wanted!" a respectful voice echoed from the depths of the hall.
After this voice fell, an old woman's voice followed, "Yes, my lord, you have finally woken up. If you hadn't woken up now, it would have been too late!"
Hearing the old woman's voice, the middle-aged man smiled slightly and then strode out of the hall, coming outside to look at the sky filled with layers of gray mist.
"What is this sky?"
"My lord, have you forgotten? Recently, the heavenly laws in Cloud Sea State have undergone violent fluctuations, causing this world to become more chaotic. And the gray mist in the sky is getting heavier."
Hearing the old woman's words, the middle-aged man nodded slightly and said, "So that's how it is. We really got lucky this time."
Having said that, the middle-aged man flew directly into the sky. Behind him, a purple-gold sword of light appeared, with circles of lightning flowing around it, displaying a terrifying destructive power that struck fear into the hearts of the Yun Tian Clan people below.
"What is that?"
"What a terrifying aura!"
"Is it a legend of an immortal?"
Upon seeing the purple-gold sword of light, the surrounding Yun Tian Clan people couldn't help but exclaim.
"This is the Zi Yang Sword, rumored to be one of the Ten Great Divine Weapons of ancient times. I never expected it to be in my lord's hands. But wasn't my lord already annihilated in the ancient catastrophe? How could he still be alive?" the old woman said, seeing the Zi Yang Sword.
Hearing her words, the surrounding Yun Tian Clan members couldn't help but show surprise.
"So, does this mean our Yun Tian Clan has gained another supreme being?"
"That's an immortal! In the entire Immortal Realm, that's a peak existence. Our Yun Tian Clan has actually produced another supreme-level being."
"Indeed, it seems the rise of our Yun Tian Clan is just around the corner."
