Evil Venerable of the Sword Dao Chapter 1702 - 189: Evil Venerate Sword Qi

The kind of gaze thoroughly wounded Xiao Ziyi.

But Xiao Ziyi bit her lip tightly, the powerful weapon, a bow and arrow, was completely aimed at Lei Yan King.

Lei Yan King’s eyes froze for a moment, then turned blood-red again, continuing to frantically stimulate his own power.

However, his power was still not enough, there was still a small distance to go before that blurry scene could be clearly presented.

At that moment, Lei Yan King’s gaze passed through Xiao Ziyi’s figure, seeing the three ancient sapphire-blue planets behind her.

"Roar—"

Lei Yan King let out a roar, then suddenly released the Emperor Qi Dragon Swallowing Sky Divine Skill, and in an instant, blood-colored flames engulfed the three planets.

The three life ancient stars immediately blazed fiercely, but in an instant, the rules within them shattered to the extreme.

Within a hundred breaths, the three planets were utterly annihilated, turning into dark white dwarf stars, sinking into the endless dark void.

The hands of Xiao Ziyi trembled violently, deep within her eyes appeared an endless expression of pain, a pain that deeply stimulated Lei Yan King.

Yet Lei Yan King became even more frenzied, heading towards the distance to massacre, afar, there were more than ten life ancient stars, and Lei Yan King was just a little away from deriving those clear void scenarios, to see that blurred scene.

However, at this moment, Xiao Ziyi released the arrow, uncontrollably firing it out directly.

"Buzz—"

The nearly void-annihilating, purple-gold arrow pierced Lei Yan King’s chest in an instant.

Half of Lei Yan King’s chest was directly shattered and collapsed.

But Lei Yan King did not die.

At this realm, unless it was an instant kill, otherwise, he was almost immortal.

In this situation, Lei Yan King still wanted to attack the distance, but Xiao Ziyi no longer held back, releasing countless arrows to strike.

Xiao Ziyi, originally very powerful, now in a state of rage and with the boost of the Evil Venerate Sword, released a strand of its aura, the killing intent was unimaginable in its terror.

"Pfft—"

Within the sudden killing intent, in an instant attack, a strand of the Evil Venerate Sword’s aura directly extinguished Lei Yan King’s bloodline.

"Pfft—"

Lei Yan King’s Immortal Evil Soul, this newly grown original soul, unexpectedly shattered in an instant.

"Pfft—"

Lei Yan King’s soul continuously broke apart, spitting large amounts of blood, his figure suddenly crumbled, leaving only a head, suddenly rolling out of the void, changing from blood-red to its original black.

The next moment, the power of Nirvana emerged on Lei Yan King, and he gradually regained his youthful form.

Although his realm was still in the Qiankun Heavenly Sword Venerate of the Seventh Layer, he had fallen from that near-peak state to the early stage of the Qiankun Heavenly Sword Venerate.

Moreover, Lei Yan King’s strength weakened by at least tenfold.

But this time, Lei Yan King regained his clarity.

However, Lei Yan King just stood there blankly, saying nothing.

Meanwhile, Xiao Ziyi merely shed blood tears silently, looking at Lei Yan King with empty eyes, filled with a sense of bleakness.

"Lei Yan King, I don’t want to hurt you, but I cannot not act, you’ve gone mad. Continuing like this, I feel like I will definitely lose you."

"What exactly are you doing?"

Xiao Ziyi’s voice was choked with emotion.

She had never shed tears before, but now, in front of Lei Yan King, there was an overwhelming feeling of sorrow and tears.

"I was just a bit away from touching the truth of our confusion, but alas, it was ultimately useless."

"If only I could devour a little more—sorry, maybe that was the temptation of the demon heart, I... failed again."

Lei Yan King painfully tore at his hair.

Even now, he still believed that if he could devour the power of a few more planets, he definitely could... could unravel the secret.

But he knew, this must have been the temptation of the demon heart, otherwise, why would he keep losing control?

"The demon heart seems to know the obsession in your heart, using it to get in... if you cannot overcome this, we will ultimately have no future."

Xiao Ziyi was in immense pain, yet she tried her best to remain calm and spoke.

"I... I’m sorry."

Lei Yan King wanted to say something, but in the end, didn’t know what to say, leaving only that heartbreaking apology.

"No need to apologize. The pain in my heart from acting against you is more intense than the pain you felt after I did so. I don’t know what happened to us, but perhaps I really... maybe I am truly imprisoned by the True Void Heavenly Prohibition."

"Regardless of whether it’s true or not, perhaps, I have thought of a way to resolve all this."

Xiao Ziyi contemplated, seemingly thinking of a terrifying solution.

But at this time, when Xiao Ziyi spoke, Lei Yan King felt a chilling suffocation.

"What are you going to do? You mustn’t do anything foolish!"

The Lei Yan King said in panic.

"I want to understand your past."

Xiao Ziyi replied.

The Lei Yan King fell silent.

He knew that he couldn’t stop her because even though he wasn’t familiar with Xiao Ziyi, he somehow understood her very well. He knew that such a determined woman would have her own choices and decisions, and such choices would be unwavering, unshakeable.

"You—don’t do anything that would harm yourself, otherwise, perhaps my existence would have no corresponding significance."

"I won’t. I will always be with you, in any form."

Xiao Ziyi said.

She then turned around, tears falling, but left in an instant.

Yet even as she left, her voice still lingered in the void.

"Lei Yan King, don’t do anything, focus on cultivating, wait for me to return."

"If you care about me, listen to me, cultivate with a calm heart, and refrain from any devouring behavior."

...

Xiao Ziyi’s words eventually disappeared.

After her voice faded, the Lei Yan King had already calmed his heart.

In this place, he did not go anywhere, and he initiated the Yuan Ci Secret Realm, allowing it to stand quietly within this void.

Then, with his capabilities, the Lei Yan King established a very special Protective Array with Emperor Pattern in this void.

The Yuan Ci Secret Realm then settled down in this void.

Having listened to Xiao Ziyi’s words, the Lei Yan King no longer engaged in any devouring and maintained this state, living in the Thunder Flame Secret Realm.

Meanwhile, Xiao Ziyi, during this time, went to the Life and Death Illusion Realm to find Mu Qingyan.

Even though it was their first meeting, it felt as if they had met many times before.

Subsequently, Xiao Ziyi mentioned the matter of the Lei Yan King, and since Mu Qingyan couldn’t solve it, she took Xiao Ziyi to find her father, the Hall Master of the Netherworld Palace.

The Hall Master of the Netherworld Palace was also at a loss regarding everything, yet he suggested that the Time-Space Soul-locking Tower might induce some changes within the time-space, potentially having some unique effects akin to ’living a next life.’

At the same time, the Hall Master of the Netherworld Palace also opened the ancient restricted place, allowing Xiao Ziyi and Mu Qingyan to enter the restricted area to search for the real rules placed within the Time-Space Soul-locking Tower by the ancient Jade Fox Clan.

After Xiao Ziyi and Mu Qingyan left, a surprise guest arrived for the Hall Master of the Netherworld Palace.

This uninvited guest was none other than Jiang Xing from the Jiang family.

Jiang Xing, with Jiang Tianling, directly killed the Hall Master of the Netherworld Palace, extracting his memories and impressing them into Jiang Tianling’s mind.

Jiang Tianling transformed into the Hall Master of the Netherworld Palace and left the place once more.

Simultaneously, Jiang Tianling also learned about the matters concerning the Lei Yan King, a strange excitement flickering across his eyes.

...

In the Life and Death Illusion Realm, Xiao Ziyi and Mu Qingyan encountered Bai Ying, the inheritor of the Jade Fox Clan, and after obtaining the method to resolve the True Illusion Realm, made corresponding agreements.

Due to determination and the need for success, appropriate memories were entirely suppressed by Bai Ying using the Jade Fox Clan’s Charming technique, combined with the suppression from the Heavenly Pivot Ancient Town.

After the suppression, Xiao Ziyi passively became the maid beside Mu Qingyan, who inexplicably assigned Xiao Ziyi to retrieve the Time-Space Soul-locking Tower.

This change was originally planned, but due to the memory suppression and the influence of the time axis, such a change occurred.

However, Mu Qingyan did not know of this change, Xiao Ziyi was unaware, and even Bai Ying of the Jade Fox Clan did not know.

Apart from the time axis itself, there were no other beings that knew of this situation.

Only when, in the future, the memory seals of Mu Qingyan, Bai Ying, and Xiao Ziyi disappear, will these memories reappear.

Now, Xiao Ziyi has become Mu Qingyan’s guard maid, and after receiving the corresponding command, she left the Life and Death Illusion Realm without hesitation and entered the starry sky domain within the True God Plane.

When she returned to the place where the Lei Yan King was located, she hadn’t forgotten their series of experiences, though the corresponding part of her memory regarding the Life and Death Illusion Realm was somewhat distorted and altered, something she herself could not detect.

The Lei Yan King was unaware of Xiao Ziyi’s origin, and now that she had returned, she spoke of needing the Time-Space Soul-locking Tower.

And she revealed her identity as the maid guard beside Mu Qingyan.

The Lei Yan King was a bit astonished, sensing something amiss, but he did not doubt Xiao Ziyi.

After all, Xiao Ziyi had no reason to lie.

As for the Time-Space Soul-locking Tower, the Lei Yan King had no intention of keeping it for himself.

"I promised Mu Qingyan back then, of course, I won’t break my promise to her. If she needs it urgently, then you can take it with you when you return, although I do need the Time-Space Soul-locking Tower for some research now."

"Mm, there’s no rush since the Time-Space Soul-locking Tower can merge with the space singularity of the Life and Death Illusion Realm, producing a spatial transformation and evolution. This is a significant transformation for the Life and Death Illusion Realm. Only a stronger space allows our Peaceful Realms to form a stable Plane and resonate with the True God Plane. Otherwise, in the future, our potential for growth would be minimal and would be absorbed and swallowed by the will of the True God Plane."

Xiao Ziyi had completely regarded herself as a being of the Peaceful Realms, considering everything from the perspective of the Life and Death Illusion Realm and for Mu Qingyan’s sake.
