Evil Venerable of the Sword Dao

Chapter 1611 - 128: This Is Going Too Far!

"This youth appeared out of nowhere, and he’s actually this formidable!"

"The Heavenly Mechanism Saint Son is actually this overwhelmingly powerful and defiant of the heavens, it’s simply inconceivable!"

"I can’t see any trace of Cultivation on the Heavenly Mechanism Saint Son, and there’s clearly no fluctuation of any Realm aura. This obviously means he hasn’t even stepped onto the path of Cultivation. Yet he can actually control that Holy Ancestor Weapon? And wield it as if it were his own arm? This is truly a miracle!"

"What is his Tao, exactly? How can it be this domineering and forceful!"

After Zhou Yan withdrew all his killing intent, and after a brief moment of silence, the Saint Heirs and Holy Daughters in the distance, those whom Zhou Yan had not targeted, began quietly talking among themselves.

Clearly, they were utterly shocked by Zhou Yan’s methods, deeply wary, and found it all extremely hard to believe.

This was simply not something a Cultivator of the Soul Condensation Realm, or even the Void Soul Realm, could accomplish. Even at the Soul Spring Realm, one still could not wield a Holy Ancestor Weapon as smoothly as an arm. This scene was far too terrifying, to the point that even now, many of the Saint Heirs and Holy Daughters who were still alive felt a heavy weight in their hearts.

These Saint Heirs and Holy Daughters were true figures, guiding the direction of Cultivation for the younger generation. Although some extremely powerful Saint Heirs and Holy Daughters hadn’t come to the Heavenly Mechanism Sect at all, and disdained to do so, even if they had come, it wouldn’t have changed anything.

Some Holy Daughters and Saint Heirs spoke in low voices, whispering, not even daring to show the slightest hint of hatred or disgust.

After this battle, Zhou Yan—Tianji Saint Son Zhou Yan—had already gained an immensely important status among the younger generation.

Zhou Yan began having the Cultivators redistribute themselves across the vast plaza. Wherever he told them to go, that was where they went.

When he said a certain group of Cultivators should be in a certain area, then that was the area they occupied.

There was no priority for those who came earlier, and no distinction between good or bad.

Either sit down, leave, or die.

Under such circumstances, the scene that had originally been incomparably chaotic settled completely in a very short time.

There were still over a thousand people alive. Compared to the tens of thousands from before, this already seemed extremely few.

But with several thousand gathered together in one hall, it still looked like quite a lot.

Adding in the Heavenly Mechanism Sect’s own Disciples, when all these people gathered together, there was still a sense of a vast sea of heads.

However, though many people were present, it was neither crowded nor noisy; instead, there was a deep stillness.

The scene was so quiet that one could hear the rough breathing of some of the heavier-breathing Cultivators.

After Zhou Yan finished dealing with these matters, he finally walked over to stand before the Female Sect Master of the Heavenly Mechanism Sect.

The Female Sect Master of the Heavenly Mechanism Sect was still filled with doubt and uncertainty at this moment. She strove to steady her turbulent emotions, but when she saw Zhou Yan walking over—expression calm, steps casual, neither heavy nor light, without the slightest hint of anything unusual—her heart trembled violently.

At the same time, this was also the first time she stared fixedly at Zhou Yan without looking away, as if at that instant, she was seeing Zhou Yan for the first time.

This person struck with ruthless viciousness, his words lofty and arrogant, as if he had always placed himself in an extremely high position. Moreover, his mind was deep, his methods cruel yet domineering, regarding human lives as weeds and ants, completely indifferent to the common people.

This kind of Mental State, this kind of manner...

The Female Sect Master of the Heavenly Mechanism Sect stared at Zhou Yan, wanting to see something from him, but Zhou Yan’s gaze was still so clear, so naturally unrestrained, and his footsteps remained equally natural and steady; there was no abnormality to be seen.

Only after a long while, when Zhou Yan was about to arrive in front of the Female Sect Master, did she finally withdraw her gaze.

She couldn’t see anything at all. It seemed that Zhou Yan was still just a completely useless ordinary person without any Cultivation.

But how could an ordinary person be this defiant of the heavens?

Not to mention, once an ordinary person used the Ten Thousand Souls Heavenly Mechanism Order, at most, within an hour, their Soul would be completely exhausted, and their fleshly body would shrivel into a desiccated corpse and die.

This situation had already occurred many times in the history of the Heavenly Mechanism Sect.

Yet this time, it had not happened to Zhou Yan.

In fact, from the time the Ten Thousand Souls Heavenly Mechanism Order was used until now, nearly an hour had already passed, and Lee Ran didn’t even have the slightest paleness on his face, nor did he show any trace of abnormality.

This was simply far too terrifying.

"Sect Master, my position as Heavenly Mechanism Saint Son can be announced now, right."

Zhou Yan asked in a calm and natural tone.

He wasn’t overly respectful, but he also wasn’t particularly cold.

This tone was already worlds apart from the manner in which he had been killing and threatening people earlier.

If it had been before, had Zhou Yan spoken like this, the nine Elders would definitely have blown their beards and glared, saying Zhou Yan did not respect his elders and knew nothing of proper etiquette.

But now, after seeing Zhou Yan’s brutal slaughter, with him speaking in this way, the nine Elders found it incomparably pleasing to the ear, even feeling a strange sense of being "favored beyond their station."

This feeling arose beyond their control, to the point that they themselves found it a bit laughable and exasperating.

"Mm, it can be announced. What you’ve done... is not bad, although you’ve brought a great deal of trouble down upon the Heavenly Mechanism Sect."

"But the Heavenly Mechanism Sect, in the end, ought to rise again."

"If things continue like this, the Heavenly Mechanism Sect will have only the path of Destruction left."

The Female Sect Master of the Heavenly Mechanism Sect sighed desolately and spoke.

Zhou Yan nodded and said, "With me here, the Heavenly Mechanism Sect will not be destroyed."

"This time I killed quite a few Cultivators. Later, have the Sect’s Disciples collect their Qiankun Rings and gather up their resources. Then bring out some of the Sect’s accumulated foundations, and I will personally repair the Thirty-Three Heavens Heavenly Road.

After that, once that so-called Thirty-Three Heavens Heavenly Road is restored, even if some Holy Land’s Saint Master comes in person, they’ll only be able to leave with hatred in their hearts!"
