Evil Venerable of the Sword Dao Chapter 1714 - 201: Tao Establishment, Heartless Ones
Previously on Evil Venerable of the Sword Dao...
Evil Venerate Realm is such a realm, transcending the time axis and the path of ability, capable of deriving reincarnation, time, and space, with a single thought capable of creating or destroying countless worlds.
In such a realm, battles are measured by endless years and time.
Therefore, even if faced with a bow and arrow, or sensing a crisis of death, Zhou Yan remains unconcerned.
Standing there for the Soul Emperor to kill, it would take at least three to five years, and the opponent still might not kill him.
Not to mention, Zhou Yan could not possibly stand and let the opponent kill him without fighting back.
"Should I call you Gles, or Di Yan, or Soul Emperor Jiang He?"
Zhou Yan said coldly.
"You want to change fate, so do I. However, I was ultimately a step late, allowing you to succeed. I must say, Zhou Wangchen’s fatherly love for you is truly great!"
Jiang He’s words carried a hint of mockery.
This was obvious sarcasm.
Even at this realm, he was so sarcastic, showing that the destruction of the time axis and the annihilation of most of the Emperor Soul Clan had touched his reverse scale.
"All efforts in vain, all struggles reduced to ashes. Zhou Yan, you should know, the Human Clan is just an exceedingly lowly bloodline among the Immortal Buddha Divine Race, merely a clay body casually molded by Nuwa!"
Pan Emperor pondered for a moment and said harshly.
He was also extremely angry.
But, ultimately, it has come to this point.
"A race needs to develop, and you should not occupy so many resources. Decomposing you, using the origin to nurture the race, the Immortal Buddha Divine Race, may have a hope to advance further. For the prosperity of the Immortal Buddha Divine Race and the re-establishment of Tao in the Immortal Buddha Ancient Land, I can only kill you."
After a moment of hesitation, Pan Emperor spoke again.
Then, in his hand, a sword appeared.
An immensely powerful Evil Venerate Sword.
As the sword appeared, Zhou Yan’s heart couldn’t help but tremble fiercely.
"Soul Emperor, let’s join forces, then split evenly."
"Afterwards, we will rely on our own development for the final showdown!"
Pan Emperor proposed once again.
Soul Emperor Jiang He pondered, then nodded and said, "In that case, it’s quite good."
"Pan Emperor, Jiang He is so cunning, cooperating with him is like negotiating with a tiger."
Zhou Yan’s face slightly changed as he spoke.
"I am naturally aware."
"Why not join forces with me, kill Jiang He, and the endless resources of the Emperor Soul Clan, the Immortal Buddha Divine Race could receive sixty percent. How about it?"
Zhou Yan immediately proposed.
"Humph, Zhou Yan, you defy fate and fight destiny for what? Isn’t it for the Human Clan? Now, would you really concede such tremendous benefits?"
Jiang He’s face changed as well, and he said immediately.
"If death is certain, what benefits can’t be given up?"
"Moreover, the Evil Venerate Sword was refined by the Thirteen Strange Women, who are my wives, and may not have an extreme killing intent towards me; rather, the Human Clan and Immortal Buddha Divine Race are of the same root and origin, so joining forces is more appropriate."
Zhou Yan said with a cold smile.
Upon hearing this, Pan Emperor showed a thoughtful expression.
And Soul Emperor’s face turned slightly unpleasant.
However, silence enveloped the scene, with no further disputes or decisions.
At the same time, the three beings of the Evil Venerate Realm showed no intention of making a move.
This pitch-black chaotic domain felt even more mysterious.
"Actually, this world may not have only our existence. Perhaps we can temporarily maintain strategic neutrality among the three parties, relying on our capabilities and abilities!"
Zhou Yan pondered for a long time before speaking.
Of course, he wanted revenge, not only to kill the Soul Emperor but also to suppress Pan Emperor, reclaim the Evil Venerate Sword, and restore his thirteen wives.
But at this realm, achieving these goals is really difficult.
If he cannot achieve them, even joining forces with the Soul Emperor against Pan Emperor or with Pan Emperor against the Soul Emperor is difficult.
So, for now, he can only remain neutral.
In the future, it depends on whose ability improves faster.
Of course, when power reaches this state, there is no room for improvement; this realm is akin to being saturated, neither early stage nor perfection, this state itself is ultimate, akin to an incredibly perfect and complete circle.
Zhou Yan’s words were met with silence from Pan Emperor and Soul Emperor.
No matter how the battle is fought, there will certainly be damage, inevitably leading to one party benefiting.
And even if two parties fight against one, if one party becomes truly fierce, aggressively attacking one of them, it will eventually break the balance, causing varying injuries among the other two, thus setting the stage for the final outcome.
Similarly, at this realm, when madness ensues, foundations are identical, fundamentally hard to break.
"Beyond the time axis, information emerges, indicating there are Nine Ancient Lands. But only Six Ancient Lands were destroyed; the other Three Ancient Lands remain unaccounted for."
Pan Emperor suddenly revealed some secrets.
This point was unknown to Zhou Yan and the Soul Emperor.
"Beyond the time axis is a void, so where does the water in this Chaos Lake come from? Water is the origin of life."
The Soul Emperor pondered for a moment, then spoke while gazing at the Chaos Lake before him.
Zhou Yan took a deep look at the Chaos Lake that appeared like mucus. In his eyes, the lake was empty, merely presenting such a state, quite mysterious.
However, the water within is not truly water; it seems like a kind of projection.
Moreover, there is nothing within, just like the distant void, essentially barren.
Zhou Yan could discern this; he didn’t believe that the Soul Emperor and Pan Emperor couldn’t.
Yet, the two seemed genuinely unable to see through it.
"This is all void; what we see is only a projection. As for what projection it is, I can’t tell."
Zhou Yan said calmly.
With these words, Pan Emperor and the Soul Emperor both trembled slightly and said, "Projection? Are you sure it’s a projection?"
The two spoke almost in unison, looking at Zhou Yan with incredibly intense gazes.
"Yes, it’s a projection, very sure. You should know that I’ve reversed the time axis, and with my father’s power of reversing the time axis, perhaps I’m stronger than both of you, and even in certain special abilities, I’m superior."
"Therefore, if you two truly fight to the end, the outcome may be uncertain."
Zhou Yan spoke indifferently, without concealment.
This matter is not something that needs to be hidden; it’s simply a fact.
At this Realm, even if not known now, eventually the two will surely understand.
Additionally, Zhou Yan vaguely felt that this matter might not be so simple.
After hearing this, the Soul Emperor Jiang He and Pan Emperor fell silent once again.
However, the expressions of the two were obviously extremely solemn and serious.
As top emperors wielding the Evil Venerate Sword, this attitude also made Zhou Yan feel an inexplicable unease.
Soon, the Soul Emperor looked at Pan Emperor, who nodded inexplicably.
At this moment, Zhou Yan immediately became cautious, almost instantly gathering a Purple Flame in his palm.
"Zhou Yan, don’t be agitated—perhaps we’ve all fallen into a calculation. Of course, this might be the worst scenario. Or, maybe we’ve merely been sealed by the time axis."
Pan Emperor pondered and spoke.
"My intention is for the three of us to temporarily join forces and uncover the secret of this projection."
The Soul Emperor Jiang He hesitated for a moment and spoke with extreme gravity.
Zhou Yan just coldly watched the two, with no intention of relaxing.
"Zhou Yan, rest assured, in such circumstances, we wouldn’t do anything excessive. Even with the greatest hatred, beyond the time axis, it all becomes meaningless."
Pan Emperor said calmly.
"Beings like us are ultimately capable of handling things and letting go, and so-called hatred is merely from our own standpoint. Zhou Yan, your stance towards your wife, child, and the Human Clan compels you to do everything in your power to protect them. I, Jiang He, am the same. Otherwise, at the beginning, I had many ways to easily crush and obliterate you."
"But I ultimately didn’t do that; instead, I offered you a fair opportunity, which actually was the original agreement of our Six Ancient Lands."
"About this, you can ask Pan Emperor."
The Soul Emperor Jiang He spoke sincerely.
Zhou Yan heard this and slowly withdrew the flame.
He sighed and said, "I am aware of this, which is why I have said nothing. But given this situation, could you return my Evil Venerate Sword? After all, it is my woman. You forged a weapon from my woman, how can I truly connect with you?"
Zhou Yan’s words were calm, but they were the truth.
"Giving it to you is definitely not possible. Even if given, you can’t resolve it, as it has already been refined, the time axis destroyed, and this outcome cannot be changed."
Pan Emperor directly refused.
Then he explained, "Actually, you should also know that your so-called woman is actually a derivative of the top-tier Bloodline rules of our Immortal Buddha Clan, and we were originally cultivating her as a weapon. Originally, she wasn’t supposed to have any relation to you."
"Now that she’s returned, it is quite fitting."
Pan Emperor spoke quite bluntly.
Zhou Yan fell silent.
Reaching this point, there was no good solution.
Fight? Nothing is achieved but wasting energy.
If a result were attainable, with existences like Pan Emperor and the Soul Emperor, they wouldn’t resort to joining forces.
Moreover, the Soul Emperor holds a Time Axis Bow and Arrow crafted in imitation of the time axis, while Pan Emperor wields the Evil Venerate Sword.
Conversely, Zhou Yan has no weapons.
Comparatively, the two joining forces to kill Zhou Yan is the most likely scenario.
Yet now, facing the unknown, neither has made a move.
"Indeed, those who establish Tao are always heartless."
Zhou Yan coldly mocked.
Pan Emperor smiled, unfazed.
