Zhou Yan fully understood the capabilities of the Xuanyuan Sword and instructed the Sword Soul to dispel its pale golden glow.
In the harsh and perilous environnt, eye-catching light often brings extre danger. Zhou Yan knew this from a very early ti. Now, even though he has beco much stronger, he will not take it lightly.
For an Immortal Weapon like the Xuanyuan Sword, this is certainly not a problem.
Once the glow was concealed, the Xuanyuan Sword, whether in shape or shine, appeared no different from an ordinary long sword and did not stand out.
If one were to point out anything unusual, it would be that its sharpness was obviously much keener than typical weapons.
This is only the most basic ability of the Xuanyuan Sword.
"The Xuanyuan Sword has Triple abilities. The First Layer’s ability can be freely utilized now, offering a tenfold increase in combat power. The second is the Reincarnation Rule’s Xuanyuan Sword Formation, which possesses a strong counterattack force, but cannot be activated at the mont; the third is the true Immortal Power of the Xuanyuan Sword Immortal Weapon, which is almost impossible to activate and its specific might is hard to ascertain. But if it moves, it will surely shake the heavens."
Zhou Yan made a judgnt in his heart and therefore understood that usually, the Xuanyuan Sword’s edge, far superior to ordinary weapons, was already sufficient for his use.
Also, as an Immortal Weapon, controlling or wielding it is far easier than typical weapons since Zhou Yan is the master of this sword, having already ford a resonance with it, with bloodline connection.
Zhou Yan had a comprehensive assessnt of his abilities and combat power and gradually deepened his understanding of this world. He also gained a deep understanding of the Xuanyuan Sword. At this point, he proceeded calmly, leaving the cave.
After coming out, Zhou Yan continued climbing up the rift, his speed accelerating and moving with greater acuity.
On this journey, to avoid wasting energy and ti, Zhou Yan even evaded many Demon Hearts and did not slay them.
Having reached the Ninth Layer of the Sea of Suffering Realm, the important thing is the understanding and comprehension of the Immortality Principle, not the number of slain Demon Hearts. Zhou Yan understood this very well, so the killing of Demon Hearts would only affect the speed of climbing the rift. Once entangled in midair, more Demon Hearts would co, and it would inevitably be more troubleso.
If slaughter could beget progress, the aning of slaughter would be necessary, at the very least maintaining an energy balance, but without energy replenishnt, slaughter only results in depletion. Such slaughter is completely going against the wind.
In the current environnt, doing so is clearly inappropriate.
Zhou Yan quickly dodged the Demon Hearts, soon avoiding all the Demon Hearts pursuing him. Afterward, Zhou Yan continuously climbed at high speed for nearly three hours and finally saw the dark sky above the rift.
"Hoo—"
Zhou Yan took a deep breath, his legs bursting with strength, and suddenly leaped up, his whole body shooting out of the rift like a shadow, landing on the ground nearby.
At this ti, the sky was dusk, and coming out of the Big Rift, Zhou Yan felt like he had seen the light of day again.
However, Zhou Yan hadn’t even steadied himself when a large group of Heavenly Hearts surrounded him.
These people had broken combat armors all over their bodies, but they exuded a strong bloody aura.
Among them, a few wore shiny, chilling armors and had ancient, complex Space Rings on their fingers.
The group was over sixty people, each with the aura of the Ninth Layer of the Sea of Suffering Realm. More impressively, there were two n in armor and one woman in armor among the Heavenly Hearts with terrifying auras and robust combat power, having evidently surpassed the Ninth Layer of the Sea of Suffering Realm, likely having reached the Tenth Level or even stronger Heavenly Hearts.
Such rapid progress is indeed very fast but not surprising. After all, on the first day after the Nine Origin Reincarnation, Zhou Yan had already beco a Fifth Layer Heavenly Heart in the Sea of Suffering Realm.
Previously, just by climbing the steep walls of the Big Rift, he had beco a peak Ninth Layer Heavenly Heart in the Sea of Suffering Realm. As long as the level of consciousness was adequate and enough Demon Hearts were slain, reaching the Ninth Layer of the Sea of Suffering would take only two days.
Now, five to nearly six days have passed since the Nine Origin Reincarnation. If one had not reached the Tenth Level of the Sea of Suffering Realm Heavenly Heart in such a long ti, it would be sowhat odd.
However, although Zhou Yan considered this, he didn’t take it seriously. But these three Tenth Layer or even Eleventh Layer Heavenly Hearts didn’t think so.
Instead, the three glared at Zhou Yan with arrogant eyes, while the rest of the Heavenly Hearts encircled Zhou Yan, forming a large circle.
At this mont, Zhou Yan was scrutinizing this group of people.
In Zhou Yan’s sensing, these sixty-seven individuals all had formidable and remarkable auras.
While Zhou Yan was examining this group, they were also scrutinizing Zhou Yan, their gazes filled with vigilance, surprise, and awe.
Clearly, soone who could climb up from beneath the Big Rift was no ordinary being.
Although Zhou Yan’s Realm was only at the Ninth Layer of the Sea of Suffering, even the strongest Eleventh Layer Leader of the Sea of Suffering Realm dared not be careless in the face of the Bark and Sli Heavenly Demon of the Eighth Layer.
The Realm only accounts for a part of one’s power, but it doesn’t represent everything.
Surviving for five or six days in such a world is a truth understood by every Heavenly Heart.
After a mont of silence, a man clad in dark combat armor, tall and robust, with black long hair draping down, ca to about three ters before Zhou Yan.
Upon reaching this position, he stopped directly; it was a distance effective for both attack and defense. The man’s expression was cold and determined, his gaze piercing. He had thick, dark eyebrows, and when he furrowed them, an invisible aura of authority and nace emanated from him.
His face was chilling, and he spoke in a cold, severe tone: "You ca up from below? As far as I know, not even the Demon Hearts dare to truly venture down, they rely crawl along the edges. Is there perhaps an inheritance or so artifact below that allowed you to escape danger?"
As soon as he spoke, all the Heavenly Hearts present imdiately beca spirited, their eyes brightening.
Zhou Yan looked at the man calmly, not the least bit concerned about his stern deanor and interrogative tone.
"It wasn’t just ; there was a team of fifty, but they all perished, and only I escaped," Zhou Yan said calmly. After speaking, he sat down cross-legged on the ground, silently controlling his breathing.
Although the rush upwards didn’t consu much, it wasn’t insignificant either.
And in the current environnt, even with strong combat power, Zhou Yan must keep himself in a peak state at all tis.
"Hmm?"
Upon hearing Zhou Yan’s words, the man in black’s expression darkened. The other Heavenly Hearts watching Zhou Yan all trembled, their eyes revealing realization and horror.
Many seed to rember so terrifying past and tragic experiences, their faces paling instantly.
Although after Nine Origin Reincarnation, everyone’s starting point was the sa, the horrifying growth experiences were like nightmares, constantly tornting all the surviving Heavenly Hearts. This Big Rift was clearly a relatively safe refuge; many teams had entered before, but none had exited.
Now, hearing Zhou Yan’s answer that they all died, everyone’s hearts inevitably chilled.
This was essentially confirmation of the least desired outco.
After all, without this confirmation, if danger approached, there was one more destination below the Big Rift. Clearly now, that last destination no longer existed.
This was the thought of almost every Heavenly Heart, including their leader.
However, after Zhou Yan conveyed this, the man in black armor’s eyes suddenly lit up, saying, "Do you know a safe way to enter and leave the Big Rift? Otherwise, why could you co out?"
As soon as he said this, the Heavenly Hearts, whose eyes had been dim, now burned fiercely, staring at Zhou Yan like ravenous fierce beasts.
"If you have no thod, yet you, at just the Ninth Layer of the Sea of Suffering Realm, could co out, then the Heavenly Hearts here, whose lowest strength is also Ninth Layer, ans we could escape unscathed as well."
The man added.
If his previous words were rely enticing, these words almost instantly fird the resolve of the Heavenly Hearts present, especially since the man speaking was at the Eleventh Layer of the Sea of Suffering Realm!
And obviously, many Heavenly Hearts shared the sa idea as this man in black.
Upon hearing the man in black’s words, and seeing his attitude, along with the fervent eyes of the other Heavenly Hearts, Zhou Yan felt a slight chill.
Heavenly Hearts are those who have been chosen, their natures are not bad, but in such a harsh environnt, for the sake of survival, a twisted ntality is not a strange thing.
These people clearly regarded him as a guide, as if there was so incredible treasure below, wanting to coerce Zhou Yan into leading the way or revealing the so-called ’secret’.
Zhou Yan smiled casually and said, "What if there is a way? What if there is a treasure? I’ve co out alive, still at the Ninth Layer of the Sea of Suffering Realm. Is it so remarkable inheritance treasure? But if you want to go court death, go ahead, as for , I’m not taking you there. That place, if I go again, is near certain death."
As Zhou Yan spoke, he had already stood up, taking a step casually toward the man in black.
The man in black did not retreat at all. In contrast, the Heavenly Hearts surrounding Zhou Yan almost all took a step forward, tightening the circle around him.
"Whether you go or not is probably not up to you. You’re just a Ninth Layer of the Sea of Suffering Realm; many Ninth Layer Heavenly Hearts have died recently; one more or less makes no difference."
The man’s words were colder, and a man and a woman beside him watched Zhou Yan with mocking eyes.
