Chapter 894: Chapter 62: Hidden God Divinity Transformation, Gate of Creation
"Pff—"
Suddenly, a flash of blood light appeared, and the person shattered on the spot, turning into a cloud of blood mist without even having time to let out a scream.
Within the Domain Rules of the Dragon Horn Elder, instead of the enemies dying, their own people died, which greatly shocked the other cultivators in black armor.
However, this astonishment was not over. A gigantic Gray Dragon Dragon Soul, like an ancient Divine Dragon Emperor overlooking myriad worlds, covered the sky and enveloped all five people, then an indescribable, terrifying Rule Domain turned around and engulfed and suppressed them.
Exercising a Domain within another’s Domain, only to have the Domain turn around to devour and suppress in return!
This is simply shocking!
"How, how can this be?!"
The five black-armored cultivators were all extremely alarmed.
According to their knowledge, not to mention the immense suppression effect between Divine Spirit Realms, even within the Domain Rules, as long as one falls into it, no matter how strong the Domain Rules are, it should be restrained. How can this person break such almost constant rules?
To be able to exert a Domain within someone else’s Domain and counter it, this is simply like a fairy tale.
If told to others, no one would believe it, because it’s impossible—unless the gap between the two parties’ realms is ten layers or more!
But, obviously, Zhou Yan was judged by the Dark God Tower to only be at the First Transformation of Divine Spirit Cultivation!
But what did they see?
They saw the impossible happen!
"Tell me, who is your master? The remnants of the Outer Heaven Demon Domain? Or the Mo family from Quicksand Town eager to throw their lives away? But I don’t think the Mo family has the ability to extract any ’genes,’ do they?!"
Zhou Yan actually already understood in his heart, but he spoke with a seemingly mocking smile.
On his face, however, there was an indescribable bizarre expression, but that oddity instead made the Dragon Horn Elder and the other four black-armored cultivators all the more terrified.
In facing either the cultivators of the Dark God Domain or powerful Purgatory Refiners, they never felt such heart-pounding anxiety, yet they were extremely afraid of this so-called Thirteen Soul Qi waste, a First-Transformation God before them, a fear that seemed to delve deep into the soul, simply unimaginable.
Especially, the more the other side smiled so indifferently, the stronger the soul-deep fear towards the opponent became.
"W-who exactly are you? You are definitely not a waste, nor just a simple First-Transformation God!"
The Dragon Horn Elder’s voice trembled, while the other four black-armored cultivators, due to enormous fear, wanted to instantly strike and kill Zhou Yan.
But just at this moment, Zhou Yan moved.
A massive dragon soul suddenly spewed a vast, purple firework-like Silent Annihilation Purple Flame into the Void, the Purple Flame Burning the Void. Meanwhile, within the Void, Soul Killing Divine Light combined with Thunder Flame Sword Dao, deriving the Thunder-controlling Divine Flames Sword Dao’s offensive.
These three moves, converging as one, descended like a bursting tidal wave.
"Boom—"
One Divine Spirit Fourth Transition cultivator and four Divine Spirit Third Transition cultivators, all their Domains activated, yet all shattered entirely.
Not only that, the five were slammed into their Divine Bodies by the tidal wave, their Divine Bodies and Divine Souls shattering like porcelain, turning into clouds of blood mist, without even a bone fragment remaining, their Divine Souls completely obliterated.
The Rule Energy of their Domains was entirely crushed in an instant, yet being enveloped entirely within Zhou Yan’s Domain Rules, Zhou Yan’s Domain Rule energy almost instantaneously grew slightly.
Although it wasn’t much, Zhou Yan had long paid attention to such occurrences.
Upon pondering carefully, he finally determined, if he could envelop his Domain over others’ Domains outside and instantaneously crush others’ Domains, he could at least devour about fifty percent of their Domain Rule Power!
The other fifty percent would invisibly dissipate into Heaven and Earth, and even with Zhou Yan’s Domain seal, there was nothing to be done.
It seems, this is an extreme.
Even though it wasn’t complete, Zhou Yan was still very satisfied.
And after devouring the Rule Power of six cultivators’ Domains in total, Zhou Yan’s Soul Sea underwent no significant changes, only becoming calmer and a bit deeper.
Zhou Yan did not search for anything from these people’s Soul Power, as their will and mindset were not enough to withstand the Soul Searching Technique, and there was nothing to be extracted, so it was better just to kill them directly.
This Divine Spirit Fourth Transition Dragon Horn Elder had just stepped into the Fourth Transition, not yet familiar with the combat power of a Divine Spirit Fourth Transition. Moreover, they underestimated Zhou Yan, considering him a waste, leading to negligence, and Zhou Yan was precisely beginning to approach the Divine Spirit Second Transition, so the slaying was not difficult.
However, Zhou Yan felt not a shred of achievement. If the full combat power recovered, capable of activating the Twelve Beast Sword Soul, he would only need a glance to slay this Dragon Horn Elder.
Zhou Yan absorbed parts of the deceased cultivators’ Soul Power, and only after the Soul Sea Domain returned to calm did Zhou Yan explore a series of resources that had fallen out of the Soul Seas of these six cultivators.
Among them, Zhou Yan discovered an exceptionally powerful artifact refining resource, "Divine Origin Iron," an excellent material for crafting Combat Armor.
This discovery unexpectedly piqued Zhou Yan’s interest.
Besides, a large number of soul stones were also unavoidable, but these things were of little effect to Zhou Yan; he really didn’t care.
Next came some eerie killing cultivation methods, which Zhou Yan viewed with disdain, utterly destroying them with a single Silent Annihilation Purple Flame.
After that, Zhou Yan found several white pills with very ordinary energy auras. With Zhou Yan’s profound knowledge of elixirs, he surprisingly did not recognize them, but Zhou Yan judged that they were not any kind of special items.
Zhou Yan also used Silent Annihilation Purple Flame to destroy them, but this time, after the purple flame had burned one pill, it released a unique divine aura!
This aura caused Zhou Yan, who was just about to fly away, to tremble suddenly. He stopped immediately, his gaze falling on the white powder remaining in his hand after the burn, which contained wisps of divinity, his expression somewhat uncertain.
After a long while, Zhou Yan seemed to think of something. Almost instinctively, he took out the "Hidden God Fragment" and without hesitation scattered the white powder onto the golden leaf.
"Sizzle—"
The originally indistinct Tai Chu runes immediately began to flicker with dazzling brilliance.
Next, Zhou Yan instantly caught that there was now a unique secret technique on the golden leaf Tai Chu rune.
"Hidden God, Divinity Transformation, Gate of Creation."
"Approaching God, Refine God, Divine Emergence..."
Zhou Yan sensed that within the Tai Chu rune, there was a supreme rule aura, which had a powerful suppressive force on the divine soul; its appearance seemed to attract all the energy from the Dark God Domain.
As soon as this information appeared, the energy between heaven and earth surged like a furious sea, terrifying Zhou Yan. Meanwhile, the divine power within the white powder shattered and dried up with a "pop."
The divine energy was drained by the Hidden God Fragment, turning the white powder into dust, scattering into the void.
The endless surging energy also suddenly stopped at this moment, and the rest of the energy that rushed madly due to inertia was forcefully devoured by Zhou Yan using the Swallowing Heaven Divine Skill.
Although this caused strong discomfort in Zhou Yan’s body, without it, this furious energy could have severely injured him instantly.
The energy storm subsided.
The golden leaf returned to its original state, with nothing sensing clearly on it.
But Zhou Yan could still clearly and smoothly sense the runes he had already perceived with merely a thought.
It was limited to this, though.
What wasn’t sensed before also could not be sensed now.
Zhou Yan hesitated for a moment but decisively took the golden leaf into his soul sea and commanded the Xuanyuan Sword to fly, heading into the distance.
This encounter, from the beginning of the battle to the sudden riot of primordial energy, had caused a huge stir. The place wasn’t far from Tianxing City, and this tremendous commotion would likely attract countless cultivators quickly. Zhou Yan wanted to avoid more trouble and immediately flew away.
However, he only flew away tens of thousands of meters when passing a massive mountain. Suddenly, ten black armored cultivators descended from the void, coldly staring at Zhou Yan, blocking his way.
Zhou Yan, with a swift thought, his sword light flickered, falling behind his back. Simultaneously, Zhou Yan landed on the peak of the massive mountain, standing on a green boulder, overlooking the ten black armored cultivators below.
Having experienced a battle and suddenly devoured a large amount of Dark God Domain energy, Zhou Yan’s body already had a feeling of explosive expansion.
As soon as the ten cultivators appeared, Zhou Yan immediately manifested the majestic aura of the Emperor Qi Sword Body, imitating the powerful suppression ability of the Hidden God Fragment on the soul. Meanwhile, the enormous Qi Blood Power of the Emperor Bloodline emerged.
Silky strands of Blood Qi Power wound around Zhou Yan, yet he presented the powerful imposing manner of an emperor, suppressing these ten Divine Spirit Third Transition and Fourth Transition cultivators to sweat profusely, their cold faces filled with apprehension.
"Thud—"
Zhou Yan’s soul level gradually adapted to this Dark God Domain, and the high soul level simulated the oppressive aura of the Hidden God Fragment, presenting an imposing manner almost invincible in effect.
Under his powerful aura, half of the ten black armored cultivators couldn’t withstand the pressure, with their divine body’s knee bones breaking abruptly, kneeling in the void, eyes filled with horror.
All ten black armored cultivators were uncertain, aghast, with alarm and fear—wasn’t this person only a First-Transformation God? Why did he possess such a mighty, invincible aura? How could he be so strong?
Where did the two extraordinary female geniuses beside him go?
The top geniuses of the Dark God Domain, why don’t they know about them? This is not normal!
The remaining five black armored cultivators did not kneel, but they also endured tremendous pressure.
"The people before have lost contact. Could it be that you’ve slain them? Zhou Yan? Yes, during the test, your name was Zhou Yan. There could hardly be a mistake with your talent detected by the Dark God Tower, yet you’re actually this strong?!"
Among the five black armored men who did not kneel, one man was not particularly prominent in physique but had a denser aura and was the most composed in expression.
He questioned Zhou Yan, seemingly beginning to suspect that Zhou Yan used some heaven-defying treasure or powerful means to deceive the Dark God Tower’s detection! And his faction clearly cared deeply about such methods or treasures.
