Evil Venerable of the Sword Dao

Chapter 1412 - 151: Lord of Thunder Punishment

Wan Jian Tian gazed at the heavens and suddenly said, "Now, do you still not want to show yourself?"

"Or are you unwilling to submit?"

After Wan Jian Tian spoke, the Sacrificial Heaven Ancient City suddenly began to shake violently.

Then, a very ancient figure, carrying a Yellow Bell, silently appeared before Zhou Yan.

And this person, Zhou Yan found familiar and yet unfamiliar.

This person, Zhou Yan had thought of but ultimately had not expected.

"Should I call you Evil Venerate? Evil King? Or Zhu Ge Wuwei? Zhu Ge Tianchen?"

Zhou Yan’s face showed a look of lament but finally turned into a long sigh.

"Demon Heart Sword Body, Demon Heart. What is a Demon Heart? The living beings of this world do not understand at all."

The man carrying the Yellow Bell, whose appearance was almost identical to Zhou Yan, possessed strength far greater than Zhou Yan.

"They do not understand, but so what? You seem to understand very well, but you can only hide here humbly."

Zhou Yan said sarcastically.

"There’s spirit, there’s boldness, which is rare. Finally developed a sense of responsibility and pride, along with loyalty and righteousness, that’s enough."

This man, also known as the Demon Heart Body, smiled and said.

Zhou Yan silently stared at this Demon Heart Body but did not speak.

"Do you know? If you were here now by refining that strand of Gu Xi’s Origin—by now, I would have destroyed you."

That Demon Heart Sword Body Evil Venerate said with a cold smile.

Zhou Yan felt a stir in his heart but nodded, agreeing with the Demon Heart Sword Body’s words.

The Demon Heart Sword Body sighed and said, "When I cultivated to the extreme, I came to know a terrifying truth, which is the source of evil, and that is the moment of annihilation for all Eternal beings. And this, is truly the end of a King stepping onto the final path."

"All energy in this world is eternal. When the energy of one side becomes extremely powerful, the rest of the energy will become scarce, and then will perish."

"But only, the Guardian of Order, the Law Enforcer of Thunderous Heavenly Punishment is an exception. Because my energy comes from the energy beyond the source of evil."

"If the final result is to devour all Eternal Life beings, and create a unique Sovereign being, then, do you think eternity has any meaning?"

"A person, living in the decayed heaven and earth for endless ages? How is that meaningful? That’s more terrifying than the most painful imprisonment."

Zhou Yan did not hesitate.

In fact, everything the Demon Heart Sword Body said, Zhou Yan already understood.

That Source of Evil was the power enslaving the Lord of Ice and Snow.

The power of that Evil Spirit, how terrifying it is!

Zhou Yan refined a trace, and his Realm advanced by three layers rapidly!

One must know, Zhou Yan’s own advancement was extremely difficult, with exceptionally terrifying consumption each time!

And yet, this was only the energy of a single refinement.

"Yes, when I realized it, wanting to stop it was already too late."

The Demon Heart Sword Body sighed as he spoke.

Moreover, when I discovered it, I myself was enslaved too.

But after all, I am the Master of Heavenly Punishment, so with extreme power, I created a negative emotional self—often the law enforcer who purifies all evil in heaven and earth is, in fact, the source of evil that gathers the greatest evil of heaven and earth."

"This is the principle of extremes reversing."

"Even Kings and Sovereigns cannot escape from this principle."

"I live with the Demon Heart Sword Body, thus protecting a strand of my purest inheritance, to live out the next life."

"Originally, that next life was extremely smooth, but due to unexpected turns, perhaps due to the methods of the owner of that Source of Evil, Lee Yi’s life descended on Earth Ancestral Land but failed.

And in the life of Lee Sha, inexplicably, there appeared a demonic form. The distant Lei Yan King, unexpectedly undergone demonization, almost causing my Demon Heart Sword Body to be truly assimilated by it.

And the appearance of a woman broke this certain-death situation—had Lei Yan King devoured me, another source of evil would truly have been established.

Moreover, it was very possible it would be controlled by the owner of that source of evil.

Fortunately, Lei Yan King was a person of emotions, while the Lord of Thunder Punishment was innately emotionless, thus amidst the impact of emotions, Lei Yan King came to his senses.

During this, Lei Yan King awakened a part of memories that should not have awakened, therefore he was suppressed.

As for the matters of the Soul Burying Starfield, it was all set as a false layout for growth, merely for Lei Yan King to grow in his next life.

But the plan couldn’t keep up with changes, the Soul Burying Starfield originally was a prison ground. The Mantis clan seemed to have sensed a unique King’s inheritance, and began to participate, causing the layout to become chaotic.

The final outcome, you roughly know."

"Now, your ability to enter this place and without absorbing that Life Soul, this is the greatest success."

"Yes, the layout succeeded. Regardless of other outcomes, your ability to enter this place signifies the successful prevention of the plan to destroy the Eternal Life Tribes set by the Source of Evil."

"Or one could say, the confrontation between the Lord of Thunder Punishment and the owner of the Source of Evil, the Master of Thunder Law temporarily won, breaking free from its enslavement."

"Therefore, now, you need to do two things."

"First, refine me, make me one of your enslaved avatars."

"After enslaving me, I am the Thunder King, the Emperor Lei Yan. And you will be my master."

"Of course, after you enslave me, you will clearly know many things. I will become your Demon Heart Avatar, an Avatar who possesses the First Realm of the Eternal Nine Rules, a guardian avatar for necessary moments.

But my strength can only remain at this level; no matter how strong, I can never achieve kingship."

"Another point, Wan Jian Tian is the Sword Spirit of your sword, the Soul of Ten Thousand Swords. Thunder Sword Spirit."

"The Twelve Magnetic Light Columns are the sword, the Thunder Punishment Yuan Magnetic Sword."

"The Sacrificial Heaven Ancient City was once the Thunder Punishment City, the Sacrificial Land."

Now, you can make your move.

The Demon Heart Sword Body finished speaking, and then its body gradually shrank, while the Yellow Bell, or rather some unique means, was merely a Yuan Magnetic Battle Armor.

Zhou Yan’s mind was somewhat shaken, but this scene could no longer shake his spirit.

Zhou Yan, with eyes sparkling, looked at the Demon Heart Sword Body, looked at Wan Jian Tian.

At this moment, Wan Jian Tian fully acknowledged the words of the Demon Heart Sword Body.

Or rather, the words of the Evil Venerate.

Zhou Yan still had many questions in his heart, such as why the Evil Venerate would be with a cultivator, why there would be so many schemes...

But Zhou Yan didn’t ask these because they really weren’t important anymore.

The key was, in the end, the layout won.

This was something even the Fu Xi Emperor didn’t know.

And that thread of the Life Soul was also crucial, but not the key to success, rather the key to failure.

Fortunately, that Original Life Soul was not devoured by Zhou Yan.

This might also be a test of courage for oneself.

Zhou Yan did not question the Demon Heart Sword Body.

At this moment, with the Thunder Seal on him, with the Thunder Flame Breaking Path Mountain on him, Zhou Yan did not feel the Demon Heart Sword Body could play any tricks.

And if the other party really wanted to play some tricks, in the First Realm of the Eternal Nine Rules, Zhou Yan could only look up.

That was an existence whose gaze alone could kill Zhou Yan in his current realm, such a disparity made any conspiracy futile.

Zhou Yan then concentrated his will, then opened the Thunder Seal at his forehead, followed by revealing the Three Pure Ones Technique, manifesting soul strength a billion times over.

"Hiss—"

Even the Demon Heart Sword Body couldn’t help but gasp at this scene.

"This is... the Fu Xi Emperor’s inheritance, this is the Taoist top-tier Three Pure Ones, this is the Moral King’s inheritance. This soul strength... this is the Randeng Skill’s inheritance."

"Good, good, good, it turns out, it wasn’t just me, a king, who encountered a crisis!"

"Turns out, we still have... guardians supporting together!"

"Good, this is really wonderful!"

The Demon Heart Sword Body, upon witnessing this scene, broke through the illusion and witnessed the extreme.

Afterwards, his mood improved significantly.

Then, he derived into a red heart, a heart pulsating with various negative emotional energies.

This heart was suddenly illuminated by Zhou Yan’s Thunder Seal and immediately became as pristine as jade.

From the dirtiest, ugliest, and most putrid state it transformed into the ultimate state resembling a Nine Orifice Exquisite Heart.

Subsequently, this heart slowly flew into Zhou Yan’s forehead, deriving a True Self sitting in the Thunder Flame Breaking Path Mountain, like a new generation of king, like a new generation of Master of Heavenly Punishment.

At this moment, a large lightning mark suddenly began to grow from the brow of this figure.

The mark was profoundly deep and extraordinarily clear.

And after this mark appeared, Zhou Yan lost all perception and control over the aura of the Thunder Seal.

Yet Zhou Yan was not worried in the slightest.

Because, as the capability of controlling the Thunder Seal vanished, Zhou Yan gradually realized he was birthing another self.

When the entirety of the Thunder Seal was absorbed by the figure in the Thunder Flame Breaking Path Mountain, this figure merged seamlessly with Zhou Yan’s Eternal Spirit, forming Zhou Yan’s Eternal Spirit.

The Eternal Spirit soon grew to become a youth about thirteen or fourteen years old.

The youth donned a light yellow golden battle armor, this golden battle armor was derived from the Yellow Bell.

Next, a Thunder Mark appeared on the youth’s forehead, but it quickly vanished and completely disappeared.

What’s more, with the change occurred, the Thunder Flame Breaking Path Mountain began to truly complete.

Zhou Yan sensed briefly, his Eternal Spirit had reached the First Realm of the Eternal Nine Rules.

The Eternal Spirit had no real realm.

Because the strength of the Eternal Spirit was determined by the power of one’s soul body.

Furthermore, the growth of the Eternal Spirit was quite difficult, growing extremely slowly.

However, at this moment, Zhou Yan’s Eternal Spirit, like his soul body, possessed a realm, and also had the protection of battle armor.

This feeling, as it gradually harmonized, gave Zhou Yan a sensation of recovering a severed limb.

And as this sense of self-return arose, pieces of knowledge regarding the rules of this world began to overflow into Zhou Yan’s mind.
