Evil Venerable of the Sword Dao

Chapter 1419 - 158: When the King Is Wrathful, All Life Kneels

"Is this brat really turning over a new leaf?"

"It seems so, otherwise his performance is too convincing."

"The Lord of Thunder Punishment, such a proud figure, once even scorned to spit in my face, now recognizes me as father?"

"Zishuang, is this your perseverance, your faith?"

"It seems, even in this last aspect, Father King was wrong, indeed."

"Emotions can truly change everything. Even a king can live true to himself, live true to the love for you."

"So, what about me?"

"As a father-in-law, a father, an ancient turtle of millions of years, I no longer need to hide."

"Without me, Zishuang now has someone who truly guards her, so I can confidently move forward to do things."

...

The old man murmured to himself, tears of relief flowing down his eyes.

Long after Zhou Yan left, in that place, a trace of faint energy disappeared.

"Zishuang, I’m sorry. I never thought that in the past, I caused you so much harm."

"But no matter how great a king is, he is still a life. Your father, in essence, is a Holy Spirit, with a rank higher than mine."

"I dare not belittle him, even a slight disrespect is truly disrespectful."

"Kneeling to him is kneeling to your father, and also paying respect to my own father, it’s what a junior should do."

"Emperor Lei Yan didn’t understand etiquette, but Zhou Yan does."

"I know you love your Father King the most, for which daughter doesn’t love her father? But because of me, you... so, this kind of situation will never happen again!"

"We are family, and there will be no prejudice because of any bloodline or race."

...

Zhou Yan murmured to himself, through this matter, he truly saw the differences between himself and Emperor Lei Yan.

"In the past, he indeed was a cold and high presence, commanding from above."

Hong Jun Ancestor sighed.

Zhou Yan also sighed.

The shared sigh, only such talented individuals could understand the heaviness and bitterness it conveyed.

Karma, karma.

Live with cause, bear with effect.

Emperor Lei Yan lived out the next life, planted too many causes.

And with Zhou Yan’s own will in the next life, a completely different life because his origin is from Emperor Lei Yan, so Zhou Yan must bear the causes planted by Emperor Lei Yan, reaping the corresponding effects.

Emperor Lei Yan inflicted much pain, left many regrets, destroyed many lives.

And Zhou Yan must soothe many pains, make amends for many regrets, nurture future hopes for more lives.

In such a state, Zhou Yan finally departed the Elf Domain Sea and arrived at the Elf Inheritance Land.

Afterward, Zhou Yan crossed the Light Gate, entering the Reincarnation Land.

There, Zhou Yan saw the withered ancient Tree of Life.

Within Zhou Yan’s Thunder Seal, Hongmeng Ancestor began to act, employing the corresponding means.

And Zhou Yan’s current soul power, Thunder Seal, all reached a peak state, so Zhou Yan’s situation was unprecedentedly good.

This process of nurturing the Life Ancient Tree again became not so difficult, much easier than Zhou Yan expected.

Finally, Zhou Yan imprinted his Thunder Seal onto the Life Ancient Tree, but after this imprinting, Zhou Yan still chose to convey the facts to all elves, all life in the Elf Secret Realm through Rule Power.

Afterward, Zhou Yan quietly attained Enlightenment for half a day, then left the Elf Secret Realm, truly returning to the Elf Domain.

The Life Ancient Tree burst forth with terrifying Origin Power, directly activating Yamina’s corresponding Eternal Spirit.

Then, like Feng Zishuang, they all greatly benefited, their whole being noticeably more lively.

At this moment, powerhouses from various domains also arrived in the Elf Domain, ready to meet the legendary leader of the Elf Domain’s ’King’s Inheritance.’

However, when these powerhouses felt the strong Life Origin restored in the Elf Domain, their eyes all revealed a burning, possessive desire.

But when the Thunder Punishment Power in the Elf Domain manifested and showed the will imprint of the Thunder King, those representatives from the great domains couldn’t help but change their expressions.

The elves were quite worried about Zhou Yan’s situation, but now sensing this change, they were immediately overjoyed.

And for this candid imprint rule, the elves completely accepted, immediately harmonizing naturally with the Life Ancient Tree.

Thus, they each gained a corresponding mark on their forehead, but it was a harmonious, natural, warm mark, unlike a slave mark, not engraved but presented.

This mark was more like an enhancement of beauty for tattoos, shimmering with subtle light, and could be concealed at will, a beautiful compliment for the already stunning elves.

Zhou Yan, at this moment, descended upon the Throne of the Elf Domain, suddenly manifesting in the Elf Palace.

The excitement in the hall was clearly beyond Zhou Yan’s expectations.

When Zhou Yan arrived, the aura of the Thunder Seal on his body was still manifesting, exuding a powerful majesty.

However, despite Zhou Yan being at the First Realm of the Eternal Life Three Rules, after a moment of silence, some of the creatures present recognized his level.

"Are you the new Domain Master of the Elf Domain? Just a mere trash at the Eternal Life Three Rules? If someone of your caliber can be the Domain Master of the Elf Domain, then does that mean I, Dao Fengye, could be the Sovereign of your Elf Domain?"

The one who suddenly spoke to accuse Zhou Yan was a cold and determined young man at the Eighth Realm of the Eternal Eight Rules.

He was arrogant and dismissive, his gaze filled with malice as he stared at Zhou Yan.

"You are... the Prince of the Ten Thousand Tree Domain?"

Zhou Yan glanced at the Prince of Wan Shu, and memories from deep within his mind awakened.

Back when Emperor Lei Yan was still around, this boy was just born and was a lowly talented trash.

Unexpectedly, over the years, this man not only became a prince but also reached the Eighth Realm of the Eternal Eight Rules.

"I didn’t expect you, a piece of trash, to have some insight. Yes, I am indeed the Prince of Wan Shu."

Dao Fengye sneered repeatedly.

Beside him stood a green-clad Mantis Woman at the Seventh Realm of the Eternal Eight Rules, as well as a man with white wings from the Sky Wing Domain.

On the other side, Zhou Yan also noticed a few familiar faces, a few who had worry written across their faces.

Qian Luoshui from the Ancient Fu Xi Clan.

However, when Zhou Yan looked at her, her eyes were cold, watching with a hint of icy laughter, seemingly eager to see how Zhou Yan would handle the current predicament.

Beside Qian Luoshui stood Lin Xuefei and Jiang Hongyi, representing the Ziwei Tao Sect.

When he saw the two, Zhou Yan’s pupils shrank. These two have progressed rapidly, reaching about the Third Realm of the Eternal Eight Rules.

Is this defying the heavens?

Zhou Yan associated it with the inheritance of the Ziwei King and was slightly relieved.

Aside from these three, the only other familiar feeling Zhou Yan experienced was from the power of the Lord of Ice and Snow’s forces from the Snow Spirit Domain.

This time, they sent Green Bull King Yin Tianshu.

In the Nine Rules Realm of Eternal Life.

This Yin Tianshu was the most formidable among these powers, and he was controlled by an Evil Spirit.

When Zhou Yan looked at Yin Tianshu, Yin Tianshu didn’t even glance at Zhou Yan, an innate disregard.

"What’s the matter? Why are you silent? I said it, I, Dao Fengye, want to be the true master of the Elf Domain. There are so many women here, and the women of the Elf Domain are both exquisite and cheap, as we know. Why not, the feeble Lord, offer some for me to play with? Perhaps if I find them satisfactory, I might let you go."

"Yes, we came a long way, Zhou Yan. Shouldn’t you, as the local lord, show some sincerity?"

The Mantis Woman in green spoke with a predatory gesture towards Zhou Yan.

This was naked oppression.

No Elf spoke beside Zhou Yan.

But every female Elf clenched their fists, bit down fiercely, their eyes burning with anger.

Yamina, Yalis, and other Elder-level Elves waited calmly, not overstepping, awaiting Zhou Yan’s response.

Zhou Yan calmly glanced at Dao Fengye and the Mantis Woman, saying, "I remember setting the rules of the Master of Heavenly Punishment and letting you come to pay homage.

Perhaps you think you’re not qualified to worship me, Zhou Yan. Then let me show you— even if the Lord of Thunder Punishment isn’t here, even if I’m just a weak Inheritor at the Eternal Life Three Rules, it’s still enough to destroy you so-called Eternal Realm ants."

Zhou Yan spoke nonchalantly, but an incredibly terrifying will manifested.

It was the will of the Thunder Flame Monarch.

With that will, all the creatures present trembled.

At this moment, the Hong Jun Sword in Zhou Yan’s hand had sensed Zhou Yan’s conviction.

Then, an exceptionally terrifying power of suppression, the sudden derivation of the Hongmeng Purple Qi, transformed into a Heaven Breaking Sword Formation.

At that moment, Zhou Yan manifested 99,999 times the Soul Strength.

The Eternal Spirit suddenly surged into Zhou Yan’s Soul Body, and at that moment, Zhou Yan possessed the power of the First Realm of Eternal Nine Rules.

Following that, the Sky-breaking Sword split into two, deriving two sword lights.

Two ordinary sword lights.

"Puff—"

"Puff—"

The Thunder Punishment Power, derived in the sword light.

The sword lights suddenly pierced through the center of Dao Fengye and the Mantis Woman’s brows.

Their Eternal Life Power suddenly flew back from their brows, and then their bodies were consumed by lightning and Purple Flame burning.

In an instant, a purer Origin Power was formed, which Zhou Yan inhaled deeply and absorbed immediately.
