Evil Venerable of the Sword Dao

Chapter 1575 - 98: Holy Spirit Evil Venerable

"I need to wait, probably about three more hours, and then it will be almost perfect. At that time, it will be my moment to head to the Emperor Soul Clan."

Zhou Yan spoke as if entrusting someone with an orphan, his words remarkably heroic.

Lee Ran’s fist suddenly clenched, his body trembling slightly, but he didn’t try to dissuade Zhou Yan. Instead, he said, "I already know what you intend to do. Remember, at any moment, don’t forget your intent and don’t forget your origin."

"If you truly fail, leaving a trace of your origin is not a mistake."

"Take this with you."

As Lee Ran spoke, a blood crystal coffin suddenly appeared in his palm. This crystal coffin, bright red like blood and dazzlingly bright, was obviously no ordinary object.

"This..."

At Zhou Yan’s level, there weren’t many things he couldn’t see through.

But this blood crystal coffin was completely inscrutable, incomprehensible to him.

Inside, there seemed to be something extremely terrifying. The more he tried to sense it, the more unfathomable it seemed.

Zhou Yan was stunned, even somewhat shocked.

With his mental state reached such a level, it was rare for him to appear startled or shocked. Yet this blood crystal coffin gave him a profound sense of shock.

This, too, was enough to show how extraordinary this object was.

"This thing existed in my forehead since my reincarnation, an accidental gain. But this item... I always thought I could unlock its secrets, but I never could."

"From the Soul Clan to the end of the Heavenly Road, to the Void Ancient Land and all other experiences, none could unlock it."

"Now, as the Evil Spirit Dominator and top Holy Spirit Monarch, I still can’t unlock it."

"Take it; if you fail, transform your origin into intent and escape into it. It might save your life."

"As long as you live, there’s still hope!"

Lee Ran said, handing this foundational item to Zhou Yan.

But Zhou Yan reached out and pushed it back to Lee Ran.

"This item is connected to your origin. I imagine its presence is why you’ve evaded death many times, but precisely for this reason, I won’t accept it."

"Rest assured, I won’t die. I have a premonition I won’t die!"

"You know, at my level, once there’s such a premonition, it’s almost always accurate."

"Furthermore, during the Three-Life Soul Nourishment process, my father Zhou Wangchen, though depicted as an Evil Emperor, appeared not as a villain but as a father, a kind and loving father to his son, a sorrowful, tragic, and sentimental man."

"Such a portrayal, what does it signify? I’m eager to find out."

"I have fulfilled my promises to my wives and the responsibilities to my son and daughter, but I haven’t completed the deep understanding of my father and mother."

"Now, my mother is gone. Although my father, as the Evil Emperor, is opposed to our Human Clan, it would be good to see him."

"Madness or destruction, it’s my wish as well."

"Brother, I also know your wish is to see a broader world. So, relatively speaking, my journey is at an end, while yours is still underway."

"When you discover a broader, more wonderful world, and I’m still struggling here, take me out then. At that time, as brothers, we can have a drink and not return until we’re drunk, okay?"

Zhou Yan said with a smile.

Lee Ran’s eyes reddened, his body trembling, and with a complex expression, he said, "Alright! That day will surely come!"

"Yes, that day will surely come!"

Zhou Yan smiled.

Lee Ran also smiled.

Between the two brothers, everything was understood without words.

...

Time passed quickly, especially a few hours, which felt so fast that it was as if time didn’t exist.

In the blink of an eye, the time Zhou Yan had calculated had arrived.

Zhou Yan stood up, and Lee Ran also immediately stood up.

"Brother, I’m leaving. Take care as well."

"Hmm."

Lee Ran didn’t know what to say, or rather, at this moment, what more could be said.

He simply gazed intently at Zhou Yan’s face, his figure, as if he wanted to eternally imprint this image in his heart.

Even though, in truth, this figure was already indelibly etched in his heart, never to fade.

In Lee Ran’s eyes, Zhou Yan’s body began to emit a large expanse of evil spirit energy, and then the prior fury now uncontrollably boiled over.

At that moment, Zhou Yan seemed to go mad, and then he directly composed endless singularities, following them to quickly disappear completely at the edge of the Silent Annihilation Battlefield.

At this time, Lee Ran looked at the now empty void, suddenly feeling somewhat forlorn, his face showing a trace of sadness.

But quickly, this expression turned into one of coldness.

Simultaneously, Lee Ran quickly disappeared as well, not returning to the Human Clan gathering place on the Silent Annihilation Battlefield.

...

Emperor Ancient Clan, Sacrificial Heaven Ancient City.

In the Sacrificial Heaven Ancient City, one of the eleven True Selves of Zhou Yan among the thirteen intents suddenly went mad and then disappeared directly under the puzzled state of Jiang Yuning and others.

This scene also happened to the two True Self incarnations of Zhou Yan, who were searching for Zhou Lingyi and Feng Zishuang with the Mother Empress.

The Mother Empress was unaware of the situation, Zhou Yan seemed to become destructively furious, transformed into the Evil Dragon, and then disappeared.

The Mother Empress seemed quite astonished by this scene, unable to imagine it.

However, Zhou Yan’s disappearance has become an irreversible fact.

...

Emperor Soul Clan.

Soul Power Origin Land.

Endless black streams formed whirlpools here.

These whirlpools have been dormant for a long time.

But this time, they opened up again.

Only, after opening this time, the whirlpool started to expand, the enormous commotion causing upheaval throughout the Emperor Soul Clan.

Quickly, in this Soul Power Origin Land, appeared a giant azure dragon.

The azure five-clawed dragon began to emit a dazzling blue cold icy glow, wherever the glow covered, infinite Creation Power appeared.

Here, all the powers like merit and creation that the King Holy Spirit possessed could be perfectly displayed.

Here, it seemed there was no difficulty in forming a King Holy Spirit.

And it was here, within the whirlpool, that a massive black dragon appeared.

The black dragon was covered with blood-colored hair, emanating an extremely frightening glow.

This glow had a unique flowing charm, manifesting a supreme majesty of the King Holy Spirit.

All the holy spirits of the Soul Clan following the azure dragon were now kneeling before this black giant dragon.

Even the azure dragon, after being stunned for a moment, immediately withdrew all of its Cold Ice Power and knelt before the black dragon.

"Azure Dragon Ao Qing, pays respect to the Holy Spirit Evil Venerate, Ao Qing was previously disrespectful, hope the Holy Spirit Evil Venerate forgives."

"Rise."

A cold and proud voice came, and then the Evil Dragon suddenly opened its eyes, within which gleamed a terrifying scarlet color.

Then, the Evil Dragon transformed into the figure of a handsome young man in a black robe.

This young man in a black robe was incredibly cold, terribly sinister, and overwhelmingly invincible.

The azure dragon now transformed into a middle-aged man, his face was full of a wild beard, looking quite rough and unkempt.

"Holy Spirit Evil Venerate, you’ve finally returned."

"Things on the Silent Annihilation Battlefield, now it seems, can already reach conclusion."

The azure dragon Ao Qing said respectfully, his voice full of indescribable awe.

The young man in black nodded, seeming somewhat nostalgic, and said, "Looks like they were all wrong, turns out I am the Holy Spirit Evil Venerate, even I just found out now. Haha."

"Yes, Holy Spirit Evil Venerate, this is the highest wisdom of yours."

"Those hypocrites should have been completely annihilated long ago."

"The true Eternal World is like our Emperor Soul Clan, only following orders, without needing anything else."

The azure dragon said.

At this moment, the black-robed young man’s forehead shone with a peculiar halo, but at this moment, he casually slapped it, directly dispersing the halo.

"Since it’s already entering into Evil, the past is just a puppet of anti-calculation, why struggle? Even if struggling, it’s useless. I am the Holy Spirit Evil Venerate, this information, even if you dominate me, can you send it back? Once back, do you think those hypocrite immortals and buddhas will give you a way to live?"

"To ensure no future troubles, the woman, son, daughter carrying your bloodline and genetic influence, will they be let go? Zhou Yan, oh Zhou Yan, you’re too naive."

The young man in black said to himself.

At this moment, he slapped his forehead once more.

At that moment, the halo throbbing on his forehead immediately scattered, turning into mist.

Azure Dragon Ao Qing was shocked to see Zhou Yan’s figure within the mist shatter directly.

"This... Holy Spirit Evil Venerate, Zhou Yan, was at least a hint of your emotional obsession... You... actually shattered him completely?"

"Emotional obsession is indestructible, after a period of time, it’ll grow again, so even if it’s destroyed it doesn’t matter, he doesn’t need to remember this memory, keeping that innocence and naive simplicity is enough."

"By the way, where’s my father?"

"Evil Emperor... Evil Emperor has already fallen asleep."

"Hmm? What happened?"

The young man in black’s face suddenly darkened, an extremely frightening Evil Spirit suppression force came, Azure Dragon Ao Qing’s body trembled, immediately splitting into very terrifying cracks.

"This... Lee Ran fell dead, Evil Emperor’s mental state chip broke, sank into pain and sleep."

"Damn—how could we Mechanical Soul Clan be controlled by emotions?"

"To prevent future troubles, all those hidden dangers of the Emperor Ancient Clan must be eradicated, I don’t want to walk this path in the future!"

The young man’s face darkened again, showing a terrifying murderous intent.

At this time, Azure Dragon Ao Qing was already trembling all over, and said: "Absolutely not, Evil Emperor has ordered, before he awakens, we must not easily disturb the Sacrificial Heaven Ancient City!"
