In the Wangchuan river, after Yang Yan finished speaking, the waves continued to ripple.

The figure inside became more prominent.

It seemed as if it was about to break free, shatter its bonds and seals, and descend upon the human world.

"Aren't you the most gifted existence in the human world?

If it's not you who possesses the unparalleled Emperor King abnormal phenomenon, then how could you be the Dongzhou Holy Emperor?

If it weren't you, how could you have crushed the geniuses of the same level in the human world?

Tell me, how do you explain this!"

Rumble!

The grey claw grasped the ground, pressing towards Yang Yan.

No one knew what kind of existence this claw belonged to; it was covered with bizarre patterns, extremely strange and powerful.

Yang Yan looked at the entity in the river with a half-smile.

"Senior, it seems you are not fully clear about my matters,

the reason I could become the Dongzhou Holy Emperor was entirely because I received the Sword Dao Emperor's inheritance!

I refined the Emperor Corpse of the Sword Dao Emperor and merged with it!

I, with my physical body, swept through those of the same level, isn't that normal?" he replied.

The Sword Dao Emperor's inheritance!

The merging with the Sword Dao Emperor's Emperor Corpse!

Gradually retracting, the grey claw that was pressing towards Yang Yan suddenly halted.

The entity in the river paused.

"If that is truly the case, being invincible at the same level and crushing the geniuses of the human world is naturally to be expected!"

Yang Yan's lips moved slightly.

"Indeed, if I, possessing the techniques and treasures gifted by the senior, along with the Sword Dao Emperor's inheritance,

still couldn't be invincible at the same level, wouldn't I be too worthless?

Such a person, how could they accomplish anything?

Don't you agree?"

"What you say is true, but why did rumors spread that you possess the unparalleled Emperor King abnormal phenomenon?" the entity in the river asked again.

"It seems the matters of the Central Continent are not fully known to the senior, and the information is somewhat lacking!

In fact, the reason such rumors spread

was because my physical body was invincible, too powerful.

It drew the dissatisfaction and opposition from the forces and sects of the Central Continent.

It's all their slander!

Initially, they even slandered me as a cultivator of the Evil Demon Sect, wanting to kill me!" Yang Yan said slowly.

*He pretended to mix overwhelming resentment into his demeanor at this moment.*

"Is that so?"

"Yes, otherwise with my talent, how could I have not ascended?

Senior, you might want to think it through!"

The entity in the river pondered for a moment, and Yang Yan answered all its questions,

responding flawlessly and systematically.

It couldn't find even a bit of a problem.

After a while, it spoke again.

"Since you have acquired the Sword Dao Emperor's inheritance, why didn't you mention it last time you came?

And when I told you that there was a Sword Dao Emperor's sword in the Third Restricted Area, you clearly knew.

Why didn't you explain clearly either?"

"The Sword Dao Emperor's inheritance didn't mention the matters of the Third Restricted Area.

It was only after the senior mentioned it that I went to the Third Restricted Area, wanting to use the Sword Dao Emperor's Dao Essence to perform One Sword Separates Life to open the Third Restricted Area.

To pull out the sword belonging to the Sword Dao Emperor inside, only..." Yang Yan suddenly stopped speaking.

He showed a look of concern.

"Only what?"

"With my current cultivation, there's absolutely no way to open the Third Restricted Area and retrieve that sword.

I even used up all the remaining Sword Dao Emperor Dao Essence within me.

Honestly, it's really a significant loss!" Yang Yan said helplessly.

*His words were a mix of truth and lies, three-tenths true and seven-tenths false.*

*Of course,*

*the entity in the river was even more ruthless, with only one-tenth being true and nine-tenths being false.*

*Even within that one-tenth of truth, it laid a trap for Yang Yan.*

"You were too reckless, you should have waited," the entity in the river said in a deep voice.

"What the senior said is true, now I can only come to the senior for help.

Send me to the heavens, let me cultivate quickly, and slaughter those geniuses who slipped through my grasp.

Especially that one, who possesses the unparalleled Emperor King abnormal phenomenon!" Yang Yan said hatefully.

"Oh? He ascended? How do you know? Do you already know who he is?"

"I don't know his true identity, but I've fought with him.

If we cross paths again, I will definitely recognize him.

During the Heaven Ascending Qualification Battle, he hid his strength, hid his identity.

He sneaked into the heavens!

Alas, it's just because of the forces and sects of the Central Continent targeting me!

Otherwise, I would have already slain that genius and wouldn't need to trouble the senior here!" Yang Yan pretended to be angry.

The voice of the entity in the river calmed down.

"Wherever there are people, there is conflict. You have to think things through.

This time was a miss, but there will be another opportunity!"

"Unfortunately, without ascending, there's no chance!"

"Don't worry, you have the ability to handle things, I won't disappoint you, I will send you to the heavens," the entity in the river said.

Yang Yan's eyes lit up.

"Thank you, senior!"

"Don't rush to thank me, I want to know, are you currently cultivating the inheritance technique left by the Sword Dao Emperor?"

"Yes."

"Can you execute the strongest strike of the Sword Dao Emperor?"

"Is the senior referring to One Sword Separates Life?"

"Correct."

Yang Yan's palm moved slightly, and the demonic energy within him surged.

The demonic energy transformed into a strand of Sword Qi at his fingertips, allowing him to strike it out.

A grey mist in front of his eyes split into two.

"Senior, this is the strongest sword of the Sword Dao Emperor, One Sword Separates Life!

Because this is your place, I won't unleash the strongest power of it.

To avoid accidentally destroying the senior's treasures."

The entity in the river laughed.

"It's alright, it's alright." Its mood lightened up after seeing One Sword Separates Life.

Yang Yan knew that the entity in the river wasn't happy because it saw the strongest sword of the Sword Dao Emperor, One Sword Separates Life.

But rather, because it saw he was cultivating with demonic energy, it was delighted.

"I see that what is circulating within you is demonic energy, have you cultivated the Evil God Demon Scripture?"

"I must thank the senior here, this journey to the Central Continent.

Because I offended the sects and forces of the Central Continent.

They targeted me and even crippled my cultivation.

If it wasn't for the Evil God Demon Scripture, today I may not have been able to meet the senior!" Yang Yan said solemnly.

"This Evil God Demon Scripture is incredibly strong, as soon as I cultivated it, I restored my cultivation in a short period and even faintly felt a breakthrough, surpassing my past state.

It's truly powerful!

I believe that as soon as I ascend and cultivate for a few more months,

no genius will be able to withstand a single move from me!"

*He displayed a look of supremacy, a proud and imposing demeanor!*

The entity in the river listened and repeatedly praised what it saw.

"Ambitious, I like it!

Come!

Open your heart gate, let me empower the Devil Seed in your heart with five hundred years of cultivation.

Make you completely powerful, unfearful of any genius!"

Yang Yan's heart trembled.

"Senior, will empowering me with five hundred years of cultivation affect you?"

"There will be some impact, but for you, I think it's worth it!"

"Impact the senior? That must not happen!" Yang Yan quickly said.

"You don't think that I'm trying to harm you, do you?" The voice of the entity in the river turned cold.

"No, I just feel that the senior is so good to me.

I fear I may not be able to repay in the future!"

"Hahaha, as long as you slay the heavens' geniuses for me after your ascension, that would be the best gratitude."

"Understood, I hereby thank the senior in advance!" Yang Yan straightened his posture.

His heart gate opened, revealing a passage that could accommodate a hand.

At the end of the passage, surrounded by demonic energy, was a Nine Orifice Exquisite Sword Heart deeply embedded with a strange Devil Seed.

At this moment, the grey hand shrouding Yang Yan began to shrink, reaching the size of a human hand.

Then, the grey hand lifted, reaching toward the position of the Nine Orifice Exquisite Sword Heart.

The scene Yang Yan witnessed within the Big Pearl that day, was being recreated in reality!
