As energy suffused with ancient Sword Intent swept through these Scriptures, this space suddenly gave birth to an indescribable, bleak atmosphere.
It seemed as though the Runes had become aware of their Fate reaching its end, hence producing a mournful wail and sigh.
Boundless golden aura, limitless Chaos, and an ancient aura fell like endless withered leaves, rustling down.
The sobbing sounds made one’s heart fill with sorrow.
Yet this could not shake Zhou Yan’s heart. For Yanyan’s sake, let alone some ancient Heavenly and Earthly Tao patterns, he would not hesitate even if it meant slaughtering all the living beings under the heavens!
This was Zhou Yan’s choice. From the moment Yanyan called out ’Father King’ and connected with his bloodline, even though she was not his biological daughter, he remained unwavering and without regret.
Perhaps, feelings always develop unknowingly and then deepen.
There was no major shared ordeal of life and death, but inexplicably, Zhou Yan felt that his daughter, Yanyan, was his everything.
At this moment, Zhou Yan remained indifferent. For the sake of Yanyan’s healthier growth, he disregarded the pleas and the spiritual essence of the Tao. Soon after, he opened the Purple Flame Void, and a surge of purple Flames, like the onslaught of a fierce beast, burst forth, sweeping up all the ancient Scriptures bathed in the swirling golden halo.
In the world, a terrifying mutation took place, as if the calamities of a million years had piled up together and then suddenly erupted before Zhou Yan’s eyes.
It was an impact of a state of mind, a struggle of the Soul! The Runes with spiritual essence had gained Spiritual Wisdom.
In the last moment, they chose to burn with the jade and the common stone!
However, the Purple Flame Void was of the Supreme Heavenly Tribulation Tao, and Zhou Yan’s Soul had undergone transformations, no longer to be shaken by such impacts!
Zhou Yan’s gaze fell into darkness, and his eyes, struck by a massive burst of energy, bled profusely.
The bright red blood, like the blossoming of fireworks, was somewhat unbearable to look at.
At this time, he seemed to be bleeding from all seven orifices.
But within his Soul, a golden page-like shadow was bound.
This shadow was a genuinely wise pictographic Rune, belonging to the Runes from the beginning of Heaven and Earth, representing the physical embodiment of the Tao, immensely complex.
At this moment, Zhou Yan’s Soul became a Prison, confining such a Rune!
And this Rune was the core and Sovereign of all the ancient Runes here, its status, equivalent to the Beast King among all beasts.
This Rune had not appeared within the Purple Flame Void; it wanted to seize the moment of Zhou Yan’s carelessness to scatter Zhou Yan’s Tao, cause him to undergo Transformation, die and have his Tao disappear, then use Zhou Yan’s life essence qi to fill the Xingyi of the ancient Runes.
However, what it didn’t anticipate was that Zhou Yan’s Soul, possessing its unique Xingyi, held the Xingyi Tao of nature.
This was Heavenly Dao’s counteraction.
The ancient Tao and the current Heavenly Dao Rules clashed.
Zhou Yan’s Soul instead became a battlefield where these two grand rules waged war!
When a Planet perishes, the corresponding Tao fades away, but if that Planet is reborn, a new Tao emerges. The old Tao within the new Planet naturally becomes ineffective.
But likewise, the old Tao remains a Tao, based on the rules of the past.
Now, the two Taos coexisted.
The old Tao naturally refused to vanish while the new Tao refused to be replaced, leading to the natural struggle of survival of the fittest between the two.
This struggle, colorless and formless, would lead to the destruction of one side over time and then be devoured.
Refusing to fade, the ancient Rune unleashed the aura of the old Supreme Tao, like a peerless powerhouse awakening.
This in turn attracted the attention of the current Heavenly Dao, causing Zhou Yan’s Soul to naturally communicate with the Heaven and Earth Supreme Dao, seemingly without effort.
This might not even be possible for a realm above the Sword Spirit Realm, but due to an inexplicable pressure, Zhou Yan’s Soul achieved this.
It allowed him to digest a multitude of profound things in an instant, experiences and memories from the later stages of his Master’s life, which he should not have been able to comprehend at this time.
But Zhao Yan’s Soul, because of such an impact, instantly reached a terrifying height, also instantly comprehending these many things.
It was extremely dangerous, as one wrong step could lead to his Soul dissipating, never to recover.
Yet Zhou Yan still paid no heed to these, or rather, he never considered himself from beginning to end!
For once involved with the Rune Scriptures, Zhou Yan’s entire heart had been completely immersed in the Purple Flame Lotus Seed; he did not even bother to heed any other gain or loss.
In this way, he naturally and safely passed through that extremely dangerous moment!
After the danger, Zhou Yan suddenly gained insight into many things, and he was somewhat stunned,
realizing that unknowingly, he had thankfully grasped the Heaven and Earth Supreme Dao, fusing the ancient Sword Dao with the current Sword Dao into one.
He was somewhat dazed, then reached out with his soul sensing.
At that moment, the pictographic Rune representing the ancient Supreme Dao and the current Heavenly Dao’s oppressive combination, in the moment of mutual annihilation, were seized like grabbing a candy out of thin air by the mysteriously awakened phantom of Yanyan. Taking a few chews, both of the Taos vanished.
