Evil Venerable of the Sword Dao-Chapter 1332 - 74: Breaking Dao, True Void

If indeed betrayed and sold out by Yamina, then there is no regret, because after all, the love has always been deep.

This is an undeniable fact.

Zhou Yan also knows that such a possibility exists, but it is not great; on the contrary, he believes Yamina is a true breakthrough point.

Zhou Yan knows that the so-called three days are not false, but real.

In an unknown dangerous place, Zhou Yan indeed has only three days to achieve Enlightenment; if he cannot decode the Secret Technique of Immortal Breaking Dao within three days, he will forever be stranded here.

This, even Yamina is probably powerless to change.

Zhou Yan sat down cross-legged.

He discarded all chaotic thoughts and then quietly focused on his Cultivation.

This time, Zhou Yan once again recalled all past experiences, as if truly reviewing life, as if reliving his past again.

This time, Zhou Yan ignored any memory interference from his brother Lee Ran or any disruptions from Lei Yan King Lee Yi’s memories, preserving only the memories belonging to himself, Zhou Yan.

In this recollection, Zhou Yan peeled away all memories that did not belong to him like stripping silk from cocoons — just like the ability of a chip to save and delete memory archives, these memories were decisively stripped away, bit by bit, deleted.

After finishing these tasks, Zhou Yan reorganized all his insights, all his experiences, and then perceived the rules of Dao Sheng Yi.

Having gone through many anomalous scenes, having sensed Tao Principle Radiance and Heaven and Earth Phenomenon, these scenes repeatedly appeared in Zhou Yan’s heart, eventually resulting in Zhou Yan conducting a calculation Derivation similar to that on a chip.

As the three days were about to pass, Zhou Yan opened his eyes, his eyes flickering with Endless Rule Power, each type of Rule Power being a deep and chaotic force.

This Rule Power specifically exists in nine forms, namely gold, wood, water, fire, earth, light, darkness, ice, and thunder.

The nine Original Rules of Power are akin to fragments and codes of 0 and 1 on a chip.

These are the basic Elements that compose Rule Power.

When Elements are fully combined, forming a variation in rule, resulting in an invisible and colorless state, this is the Soul Body. 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝒆𝒘𝙚𝓫𝙣𝙤𝒗𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

And when Elements combine to form a material rule variation, producing a substantial form, this is matter.

The combination and decomposition of these rules correspond to the Power of Breaking Dao.

Whether it is the True Void Heavenly Prohibition or Illusion Space-Time, ultimately they are all formed by combinations of Endless Rule Power, so to break free is actually not difficult; simply by using Breaking Dao to directly decompose one’s own Soul Sea.

But the premise is that it must be confirmed as the true True Void Heavenly Prohibition, rather than an illusory True Void Heavenly Prohibition.

If the basic judgment of truth and falsity is poor, then decomposing the Soul Sea for Breaking Dao is akin to an act of suicide.

Reflecting on the past, Zhou Yan has actually entirely confirmed this as True Void — but this time the True Void has likely been altered — under normal circumstances, Zhou Yan should have borrowed the Life Soul using Lei Yan King’s identity.

However, within this True Void Heavenly Prohibition, Zhou Yan’s personal will is strong, thus reversing the rules, causing partial changes in the True Void Heavenly Prohibition.

Nevertheless, Zhou Yan cannot truly be sure if this scene truly happened, as many things are merely his Derivation.

If such a scene did occur in the past, then Yamina must have had half of her Life Soul borrowed by Emperor Lei Yan, and now Zhou Yan, repeating this Life Soul borrowing experience, instead alters the scene that should have occurred with his own will, thus creating True Void chaos — if that is the case, then destruction after three days for Zhou Yan is normal because the future within True Void Heavenly Prohibition is constant, yet in reality is changed by Zhou Yan’s powerful will.

Altering the future is equivalent to the absence of a future in the True Void Heavenly Prohibition, and if Zhou Yan cannot Awaken himself to break free from the True Void Heavenly Prohibition, he will die here.

The alternative scenario is that this event did not occur in the past, the True Void Heavenly Prohibition still exists, but at the same time Zhou Yan succumbed to the True Void Heavenly Prohibition, Yamina also fell prey.

Moreover, all Eternal Life Tribes’ Elf Clan might have succumbed, enveloped in a vast True Void Heavenly Prohibition, the unknown goal being to obtain half of the Holy Daughter’s Life Soul, yet Zhou Yan, despite having a chance to successfully extract the Soul, abandoned the effort, thus being slain by the rules, Yamina’s heart tied to Zhou Yan, thus reaching out to save him, but sadly, could only suppress Zhou Yan in a unique Space, outside this Space, Yamina even had to resist the backlash of a powerful suppression force, fend off the killing intent of the True Void Heavenly Prohibition, which is similarly perilous.

And once Zhou Yan cannot penetrate the True Void Heavenly Prohibition within three days, then not only will Zhou Yan be destroyed, possibly, Yamina and other Eternal Elf Clan members would also be affected, and face peril.

This is the result Zhou Yan deduced.

With two outcomes, once Breaking Dao, the first scenario sees Zhou Yan possibly surviving, entering the Netherworld Heavenly Road post-Breaking Dao.

The second scenario, Zhou Yan’s survival possibility also exists, but it similarly includes two situations, first, Zhou Yan breaks open the True Void Heavenly Prohibition, but has truly entered the Eternal Life Tribes and succumbed to the True Void Heavenly Prohibition in the Elf Secret Realm, so once Breaking Dao, will self-destruct and die, posthumously leaving remains in the Elf Secret Realm of Eternal Life Tribes. Second, Zhou Yan breaks the Dao, unlocks the True Void Heavenly Prohibition, allowing Yamina and other Eternal Life Tribe elves to escape the True Void Heavenly Prohibition, returning to their own Elf Secret Realm, while Zhou Yan returns to the Netherworld Heavenly Road.

Both scenarios require Zhou Yan to engage in Breaking Dao Soul Sea, penetrating True Void.

And the risk is approximately thirty percent.

Thirty percent seems very small, but all of this is based on Zhou Yan’s Derivation; the actual situation is still difficult to say, as any error in the nine Original Rule Powers results in tragedy.

Zhou Yan is not afraid of death and is indifferent to everything.

But for Yamina, he harbors deep affection.

Humans, always at the moment of imminent death, are reluctant to let go of many things, especially those tethered existence.

The three days are also gradually approaching at this moment, the time is already pressing, leaving only a few minutes.

At this time, Yamina appeared once again in front of Zhou Yan, only this time, Yamina gazed at Zhou Yan with very complex eyes.

"You know, at this moment, I might truly be beyond redemption. I’m not afraid of that. I just want to ask one question before I turn to ashes: did you ever regret it?"

Zhou Yan gazed at Yamina, asking a question for which he already knew the answer in his heart.

This question was not for Zhou Yan to find clarity, but to make Yamina remember him deeply, so she would stop doing things that would hurt herself.

Yamina looked at Zhou Yan, seeing the look of all hope lost in his eyes. Her gaze flickered for a long time, then she sighed and said, "I am the Wind Maiden, the master of Xiao Ziyi, and the master of Ping’er, the arch-enemy of the Inheritors of the Ten Thousand Immortals and Ten Thousand Buddhas. Our opposition was destined from the start of the plan."

"And in our Elf Clan, if a master and disciple fight over a man, it is a disgrace that will bring punishment from the Life Mother Tree."

"Punishment is not a concern, but the future of the Eternal Elf Race cannot be entrusted to a Holy Daughter marked by disgrace."

"As for matters of love, in the Eternal Life Realm, these really don’t hold much significance, because in endless time, all emotions will be worn away by time. Given that we have half a lifetime of happiness in our human form, it is more than enough. Why desire more?"

"The more it is like this, if there is a future, the more powerless we will become to face it."

The time gradually reached that pivotal moment, but Yamina finally revealed her true feelings.

Upon hearing this, Zhou Yan’s heart involuntarily wrenched.

Indeed, many situations are really... truly powerless.

Within the plan, many things are incredibly cruel, but even more cruel are the things outside of the plan.

The matters outside of the plan are complex and tangled, but some things have finally surfaced, no longer a blur.

"Ning’er, tell me again, Gu Xi, what is her essence as a tear, whose tear is she?"

Zhou Yan inquired.

He believed Yamina must know.

Yamina’s delicate body shook, her expression becoming somewhat unnatural.

But finally, Yamina sighed softly and said, "That is a woman who cares deeply about you. You don’t need to know now, because knowing wouldn’t really..."

"If there’s no longer a future, perhaps there’s already no chance to say it."

Zhou Yan gazed deeply into Yamina’s eyes and said earnestly.

Zhou Yan was not employing tactics, but he indeed had no absolute certainty.

"It is a Goddess’ Tear. With your abilities, you should pretty much completely know this point. Zhou Yan, take action. Regardless of the outcome, at least there will be no regrets."

Yamina’s tone softened a bit, but her eyes were complex, somewhat faded.

"Hmm, Ning’er, wait for me. If I achieve kingship and rule over heaven and earth, then all rules will no longer be rules."

Zhou Yan smiled, then burst forth with grandeur. The terrifying Immortality Principle suddenly erupted from his Soul Sea, with data calculated like a chip, all presented and beginning the process of Breaking Dao Soul Sea!

"Boom——"

This piece of heaven and earth shook violently, the cosmos collapsing fiercely, pieces of Rule Fragment chaotically flying around.

Zhou Yan suddenly moved close to Yamina, embraced her tightly, and then deeply kissed her lips.

Their intimate contact made Yamina’s delicate body tremble, yet she did not resist.

However, the close embrace gradually became illusionary. The two clearly embraced each other but became more like an illusion, then slowly drifted, like shadows about to disperse.

Bit by bit, transparent, bit by bit, faded, but the fragrance between Zhou Yan’s lips was still burning intensely, originating from the Holy Daughter.

"Ning’er, wait for me! I, Zhou Yan, will definitely rise! I definitely will!"

Zhou Yan shouted loudly!

"Hmm... husband, I will wait for you..."

Yamina spoke, only her lip movements were understandable, as her voice could no longer be transmitted.

The world collapsed, like a calamity of destruction, all rules completely shattered.

And Zhou Yan’s body also disintegrated like data, bit by bit dissipating.

Finally, Zhou Yan transformed into a white light and abruptly left this world.

In reality, on the dark Netherworld Bridge of the Netherworld, Zhou Yan struggled to awaken, sensing his body. Around him lay many summoned ones, all without exception enveloped by a mysterious Netherworld Light. Their expressions alternating between pleasure and pain.

Suddenly, Zhou Yan noticed one of the summoned tremble violently, bleeding from the seven orifices, instantly turning into black Netherworld Particles, devoured by the Netherworld Bridge.

The place where the summoned one was, immediately became empty, as if no summoned one had ever existed.

This powerful and robust summoned one died silently.
