Evil Venerable of the Sword Dao

Chapter 1589 - 110: Holy Spirit Era

Zhou Yan passed through the Star River, returning once more to the Emperor Soul Clan.

Within the Emperor Soul Clan, he ascended the Ancestor Dragon Warship again, boarding that decayed vessel of yore.

On the warship, scenes remain as they once were, yet the glory of the past is not to be seen.

Zhou Yan approached the core hub of the warship, where a bright Crystal Skull served as the most fundamental power source.

Gazing at the Crystal Skull, all the past memories surged in Zhou Yan’s mind.

With the emergence of the past, the obsession with emotions started to merge more thoroughly.

This process, Zhou Yan did not obstruct, nor did he think to prevent it.

His return here was unknown to the Holy Spirit; he merely wished to observe quietly.

He did not, as previously stated or thought, wish to visit the Earth Ancestral Land, nor travel elsewhere to see more, for seeing more seemed unable to change anything.

Moreover, facing Lee Ran, the Emperor, even in the presence of Zhou Wangchen and Mu Qingyan, he no longer knew the meaning of his own existence.

Was he a clone, or the True Self?

A test subject, or the True Self?

At this moment, Zhou Yan himself could not distinguish.

With the changes in emotional obsession, the Crystal Skull appeared with a strange, unexplainable change in Zhou Yan’s eyes.

This change caused Zhou Yan’s heart to suddenly sink, an unusual emotion sprouted within him.

Upon becoming the Holy Spirit Evil Venerable, Zhou Yan drifted along, never truly delving into thought, nor considered whether this state was right.

Whatever other Holy Spirits said, he seemed to blindly believe.

Even in handling emotional obsession, it was the same.

But now, facing the core hub of the Ancestor Dragon Warship—the Crystal Skull—Zhou Yan discovered an indescribable familiarity.

Is this skull Lee Ran’s? Or Zhou Yan’s?

At that moment, Zhou Yan harbored undeniable doubt about all his situations! This doubt led him to ponder the conversation with Lee Ran on the Silent Annihilation Battlefield.

It seems Lee Ran did not say all that he could have; was it unspeakable or was there another reason?

Was Zhou Lingyao’s appearance intentional or accidental?

Furthermore, if he truly was Zhou Yan himself, it would be impossible for Mu Qingyan not to recognize him, then what were Mu Qingyan’s concerns?

Reflecting deeply, Zhou Yan realized many things seemed off; this dissonance was evidently rooted in himself.

Often, he seemed to entirely lose the ability to think!

This should not be!

As Sovereign of the Emperor Soul Clan, he hardly resembled a Sovereign at all?

Then, the existence serving emotional obsession, where did it originate? What was its purpose?

Moreover, why was it that only aboard the Ancestor Dragon Warship did he possess corresponding thinking power?

Zhou Yan’s gaze fixed on the skull core hub, he suddenly birthed an extremely peculiar idea.

This idea induced an extremely strong impulse—to pull out the Crystal Skull, then devour and refine it!

Once this notion arose, it intensified nearly to the point of causing heart palpitations.

Upon this sudden return to the Emperor Soul Clan, Zhou Yan, calm like water, felt exceedingly free, and because of this, none knew of his return.

Facing this skull, amid intense thoughts, Zhou Yan’s hand began to tremble violently.

Then, Zhou Yan suddenly surged with all his Holy Spirit power, injecting it into his hand, reaching towards the skull at the core hub!

During this process, there emerged extremely fierce turbulence; all manner of inexplicable rules erupted and various terrifying Evil Spirit Origin crazily attacked Zhou Yan.

Yet Zhou Yan, being the Evil Spirit Dominator and Holy Spirit Evil Venerable, had combat power already at its peak.

Therefore, nearly instantly, he unleashed Endless rules, cleaving through the extremely complex Origin.

At once, that thought as intense as a Heart Demon drove him to recklessly grab the Crystal Skull.

In the instant of grasping the skull, Zhou Yan’s body shuddered deeply, as if seeing through the skull all he had seen in the Holy Spirit Land.

Whether Hou Chen in the Heavenly Pool Thunder Marsh, or Yanyan and Mu Qingyan cultivating in the flames, or even Jiang Tianling and the Jiang family’s entire past, all seemed laid bare.

At that moment, Zhou Yan, for a brief instant, seemed to see through all the world’s secrets, seeing the truth of terrifying plans.

However, at this time, the skull trembled violently, about to break free and escape.

But Zhou Yan had already seen nearly all the truth, viewing the dreadful schemes, and also witnessing a terribly tragic future.

Thus, he fiercely opened the black hole at the center of his brows, initiating the supreme Soul Devouring methods of the Evil Spirit.

"Buzz——"

The skull was devoured into the center of his brows, forcibly consumed with Evil Spirit Soul Devouring methods.

At that moment, an extremely terrifying black hole tore open from Zhou Yan’s brow; subsequently, this fissure grew larger, and then formed a void Origin, devouring towards the Emperor Soul Clan and the entire Endless Star River.

Among this, Zhou Yan’s entire Holy Spirit Origin converged with the skull; at that moment, he witnessed an ultimate terrifying, unwilling truth, yet he was powerless to change it, for his Holy Spirit, or rather his soul upon entering the Emperor Burial Crystal Coffin, had completely become... a clone.
