Evil Venerable of the Sword Dao Chapter 1530 - 54: Purple Flame Void?

Zhou Yan, in this exact moment, found himself enveloped by the very essence of fire, the primal rule of Origin’s flame. These flames, when merging with the roaring Purple Flame that dominated the heavens and earth, became an inseparable part of it.

Within this profound state, Zhou Yan dove headfirst into the world-consuming destructive flames. In the blink of an eye, the very fabric of reality before his eyes seemed to be cloaked in a subtle, ethereal purple hue. Though not overpowering, this shade intensified the destructive potency of the flames tenfold.

As Zhou Yan perceived this faint purple aura, a peculiar sense of familiarity stirred within him. It was an odd sensation, as if this very aura was something he, Zhou Yan, had once encountered before.

Yet, no corresponding memory surfaced in Zhou Yan’s mind. He immediately deduced that this must be a fragment of the Thunder Flame Monarch’s lost memories – a part of his past that Zhou Yan neither possessed nor understood. However, he felt a strong conviction that he might have been exposed to similar experiences before.

Since the specific memory was absent, Zhou Yan refrained from delving deeper into contemplation, fearing he might lose his state as an embodiment of the fire origin element.

Should he detach from this current state, there was a high probability that unforeseen changes within the Eternal Holy Spirit could bring about catastrophic consequences.

The act of transforming into flame elements, altering the form of Eternal Beings, and traversing the Land of Heavenly Fire was, in essence, an audacious and heaven-defying endeavor.

This was an adventure of the highest order!

Zhou Yan understood this peril implicitly. Thus, he proceeded with utmost caution, resisting the urge to ponder his lingering doubts. Instead, he meticulously maintained his form as a fire element, navigating the expanse of this world.

As his transformation into flame elements progressed, Zhou Yan ventured deeper once more. This time, however, it was not Zhou Yan himself initiating the descent. Instead, the ethereal, faint purple flames independently surged into a specific spatial nexus, undergoing a unique metamorphosis before continuing their descent into the fiery depths of the Land of Flames.

Based on Zhou Yan’s assessment, the previously encountered faint purple space should correspond to the Seventh Level.

He was now entering the Eighth Layer. Within this eighth layer, the environment was almost entirely consumed by a swirling vortex of purple flames. The heavens and earth were a tapestry of purple, interspersed with streaks of crimson. A mere glance at these flames was enough to induce a terrifying sense of foreboding.

Despite this intimidating aura, the flames within this space exhibited a natural, ceaseless flow, streaming unerringly towards a constricted region deep within the Land of Flames.

At the very heart of these endless purple flames, a diminutive Gate of Light pulsed. Beyond it lay an exceptionally unique and eerily silent void, resembling an uncharted cosmic expanse within the Purple Flame Void itself, manifesting a singularity-like world.

Within this world resided an unfathomable, immense terror.

Zhou Yan had never imagined that within the confines of this Land of Heavenly Fire, such an unknown world lay concealed, teeming with seemingly endless, terrifying mysteries that stretched into infinity.

Having attained the state of a Holy Spirit, even a mere Fake Saint Spirit, Zhou Yan had believed himself capable of traversing virtually any corner of the world. Yet, observing the inner void of the heavenly fire within this Holy Spirit Land, he realized the profound limitations of his prior perspective!

To approach such sights with his previous mindset would inevitably lead to significant future setbacks!

Zhou Yan’s heart grew heavy with realization, tinged with a nascent apprehension. After all, he had employed a method of formal transformation, synergizing it with the incarnation of a Fake Saint Spirit's fire element. While Zhou Yan possessed a deep comprehension of numerous fire element origins, mastering this technique was not an insurmountable task. However, he now harbored considerable hesitation about entering that unknown space. Yet, after considerable deliberation, Zhou Yan finally gritted his teeth, his resolve hardening as he declared, "Let it be! Even if this is a consequence of my impulsiveness, that familiar sensation from earlier cannot be deceiving!"

"Thunder Flame Monarch, without a corresponding Thunder Flame technique, how could one possibly suppress other monarchs in the King Realm? Furthermore, this Thunder Flame, when juxtaposed with the true might of a King, would not pose an insurmountable danger, certainly not enough to annihilate a King True Saint Spirit entirely! Under such circumstances, I believe I can withstand these flames! Moreover, I am myself a supreme flame king; why should I harbor fear towards this supreme flame element?"

Zhou Yan contemplated inwardly, swiftly reaching a decision!

In that decisive moment, Zhou Yan’s will surged to its zenith. Empowered by this state, the fire element Zhou Yan had condensed drew upon even more Origin Rules. The Nirvana Power surged to its absolute limit. At that precise juncture, Zhou Yan transformed into the ultimate embodiment of the Silent Annihilation Purple Flame, becoming an invincible torrent of purple fire.

Within the swirling expanse of the Purple Flame, Zhou Yan seemed to forge his own nascent shadow, mirroring the profound process of Nirvana Rebirth.

Zhou Yan accepted this change without much contemplation, simply observing the ebb and flow of flames within the Land of Flames. He focused on sensing the currents and shifts of the flame origin rules inherent in the world, which gradually led to a unique transformation of his own origin.

Through this profound transformation, Zhou Yan steadily accumulated a distinct set of Flame Origin Rules.

As the rules evolved, Zhou Yan’s Silent Annihilation Purple Flame also underwent a gradual metamorphosis. Merging with the dense elemental energies found in this Holy Spirit Flame Element Land, the power emanating from his Silent Annihilation Purple Flame expanded, absorbing more purple flame and continuing its growth.

Before long, the Silent Annihilation Purple Flame, now embodying Zhou Yan, arrived at the central expanse of the seemingly endless flame void. A vast, white emptiness stretched out before him, disappearing into the horizon.

Within this realm, an atmosphere of absolute void prevailed, as if devoid of everything, yet paradoxically containing all things.

In this profound emptiness, Zhou Yan’s heart found a measure of peace, his emotions fluctuating unpredictably for a fleeting moment.

The very next instant, a terrifying surge of purple light radiated outwards, engulfing his surroundings. Amidst this intense purple radiance, Zhou Yan experienced a sensation of disintegration, as if his very being was fragmenting into countless fire origins, a profoundly deconstructive feeling.

As this sensation surfaced unexpectedly, Zhou Yan’s heart seized, replaced by an overwhelming sense of emptiness and dread—it was truly over.

At that precise moment, Zhou Yan’s realization struck him: he was utterly doomed. He felt that his recent actions, this surge of madness, had been excessively reckless, leading him to the brink of becoming eternal void within this very Land of Heavenly Fire.

He was about to transform into unending fire origin.

Yet, the instant this dire thought formed, the anticipated annihilation catastrophe failed to materialize. No destructive aura could be detected. Instead, the void remained profoundly silent and utterly tranquil.

Zhou Yan, almost involuntarily, opened his eyes, and what greeted him was a sight etched permanently into his memory.

The flames of this Land of Heavenly Fire had manifested into a palpable, true world.

It was a world born from the Purple Flame Void.

This world held an uncanny familiarity for Zhou Yan.

So familiar, in fact, that he nearly exclaimed its name aloud—Purple Flame Void!

Indeed, the culmination of traversing the Nine Layers of Heavenly Fire Land led to the Purple Flame Void.

However, this was not the Purple Flame Void belonging to Zhou Yan, but rather the Purple Flame Void of the Holy Spirit Land itself.

And at the very heart of this Purple Flame Void sat a solitary figure.

Clad in resplendent crimson combat armor, the figure possessed a breathtakingly beautiful form. A cold expression graced their features, exuding an indescribable, unique aura that seemed to drain all color from the surrounding world.

This woman was seated precisely in the center of the Purple Flame Void, her eyes gently closed. Her expression held a detached serenity, her gaze seemingly both open and veiled, yet possessing an unnerving ability to perceive through all things in existence.

Zhou Yan was intimately familiar with this woman, but this very familiarity made the sight seem utterly impossible.

In this entire world, could another woman like this possibly exist? Or, more pressingly, how could such a woman manifest within the Holy Spirit Land?

A shiver traced its way down Zhou Yan’s spine. The space was now remarkably peaceful, utterly devoid of the recent fiery clashes and fury, offering not a hint of destruction.

Simultaneously, the flame power permeating this realm was astonishingly potent and dense. The Holy Spirit origin here flowed as abundantly as the vast ocean.

Merely drawing a breath, Zhou Yan felt his cultivation surge, nearing an unimaginable advancement.

Yet, Zhou Yan lacked any interest in growing stronger or progressing further. Instead, he found himself entranced, his gaze fixed upon the woman.

This woman was Yanyan.

Therefore, no matter how Yanyan had transformed, Zhou Yan knew with absolute certainty that this was his daughter; there could be no mistake.

If this Yanyan was his daughter, then who was the Yanyan accompanying Mu Qingyan?

Mu Qingyan was clearly situated in the Land of Ice and Snow, which was the King’s Land, not the Holy Spirit Land!

Since Mu Qingyan was not in the Holy Spirit Land, it stood to reason that Yanyan would also not be there.

So, who exactly was this Yanyan before him? Or, more critically, were these two Yanyans the same individual?

Zhou Yan was consumed by confusion. After a prolonged period of contemplation, he softly uttered, "Yanyan."

Nevertheless, just as this sensation arose, the elemental battle armor composed of flames that had materialized on his body managed to withstand that intense blow. Because of this, Zhou Yan only spewed blood from his seven facial orifices, narrowly avoiding grave wounds.

However, under such circumstances, Zhou Yan found himself incapable of sustaining his Silent Annihilation Purple Flame form. He immediately reverted to the state of an Eternal Holy Spirit.

Within this Land of Flames, the Fake Saint Spirit was veritably laid bare to the elements. Yet, an unending stream of flame origins flowed into the Fake Saint Spirit's form, harmonizing with its being. This infusion caused Zhou Yan's Fake Saint Spirit to solidify considerably, as if it had undergone a purifying immersion in the Life Divine Spring.

Meanwhile, deep within the Purple Flame Void, Yanyan merely fluttered her eyes open a fraction, casting an exceedingly detached glance at Zhou Yan. Subsequently, her form vanished from this void as she initiated movement.

At that precise instant, Zhou Yan inherently sensed that Yanyan, dwelling within the Purple Flame Void, possessed formidable power—a magnitude that far surpassed even the King!

This was indubitably different from the Yanyan he had previously encountered.

It appeared that the Yanyan confronting him now was the genuine article, the one whose immense strength aligned with the Yanyan described in the Soul Burying Starfield. Consequently, the Yanyan accompanying Mu Qingyan must have been an imposter.
