Chapter 783

Only not far away.

A burly man with a cold sneer on his face was standing there!

The newcomer was none other than "Chen Yun," the True Lord of Ten Thousand Phenomena, who had chased them all the way here!

At this moment, seeing that "Yanchen" had stopped fleeing and instead stayed in place waiting for him,

Chen Yun assumed the other party had given up struggling and was prepared to await death.

So he said with cold mockery, "What, not running anymore?"

Zhou Lao shook his head: "Yes, in front of this old man, why don't you run?"

Hmm?

Chen Yun's brow rose.

Then a sudden premonition struck him, and he instantly sensed something was wrong!

Something's off!

Alarm bells rang ceaselessly in Chen Yun's heart.

Over the years, the experience honed between life and death had already formed into an instinct.

This instinct made his hair stand on end in an instant!

Immediately after, without the slightest hesitation, he hurriedly mobilized the primordial energy within his body, executed an escape art, and tried to retreat backward!

However, in the face of absolute strength, everything he did was utterly meaningless.

Bolstered by the soul quality of the Celestial Being grade, perfected rank.

Zhou Lao's speed far exceeded his imagination!

So, the moment Chen Yun had just begun his retreat,

Zhou Lao's figure quietly materialized behind him.

Sensing this, Chen Yun's expression changed drastically, and he was so frightened that cold sweat poured down!

"What terrifying speed, this guy......"

At this moment, Chen Yun increasingly felt that this fellow Yanchen was somewhat strange.

From the earlier avoidance of battle,

to now facing him head-on,

in this brief span of time,

what exactly had happened to the other party?

Chen Yun stiffly turned his head to look behind him.

What first came into view

was a pair of exceedingly deep eyes.

Within those eyes, there was none of the innocence and clarity belonging to a youth.

Instead, they were like a fathomless dark pool, yet revealed a trace of faint majesty!

"You're not Yanchen!"

Chen Yun's pupils contracted sharply.

In just one glance, he understood everything.

But it was already too late!

Zhou Lao's expression was stern as he suddenly raised his right hand.

Vast power began gathering from his palm, radiating an astonishingly terrifying aura!

All of this power was transformed from his soul's origin.

Every fraction consumed meant tremendous, incalculable harm to him!

Once the expenditure grew too great, there would be the peril of his life falling.

But to help Jiang Yan escape his predicament, he could spare no thought for anything else.

The next moment.

Light—

A radiance so dazzling it defied description, like a star, bloomed from Zhou Lao's hand!

Terrifyingly immense destructive force manifested here!

The formidable power of a Celestial Being wantonly tore apart everything around it!

Before this supreme, majestic power, Chen Yun's proud cultivation base of Ten Thousand Phenomena was so fragile and utterly insignificant!

In merely the span of an instant,

the barrier of primordial energy that had originally covered his body's surface was entirely dissolved!

Then, his skin began emitting a series of hair-raising sizzling sounds, along with a nauseating stench of burning!

Flesh melted, blood evaporated, bones were annihilated along with it!

"Aaaah!!!"

Accompanied by a heart-wrenching scream,

Chen Yun, clutching endless despair and agony, returned wholly to dust and soil, vanishing from this world, leaving no trace of ever having existed!

And at this moment, Zhou Lao's complexion was losing color at a speed visible to the naked eye, and the aura around his body also began to wane.

Having lost his Celestial Being body, although he still possessed power sufficient to crush those of the Primordial Spirit realm,

his strength ultimately could not be replenished—every bit used was a bit less.

Feeling the weakness of his soul, Zhou Lao could not help but wear a despondent expression.

But very quickly, he composed his expression.

His gaze grew deep and distant.

As if he saw Jiang Yan falling into slumber.

"Young Master, I have now entrusted everything to you."

"I believe that, with your talent and fortune, you will surely be able to refine the Upper Clarity Pill."

"I just don't know, on the day I wake, what realm will you have reached?"

"All of this is truly unfathomable, yet so very much anticipated........"

Zhou Lao smiled.

Then, as if sensing something, he suddenly raised his head and looked ahead.

Where his gaze reached.

There was a youth in splendid robes sprawled on the ground.

His face was deathly pale, his brows filled with terror, and he kept muttering: "Uncle Chen... this... how is this possible?!"

He was "Zhou Yan," who had followed the traces Chen Yun left behind to rush over!

But unluckily, the instant he arrived, he witnessed the horrifying scene of Chen Yun being wiped out in a single move by Zhou Lao!

The immense shock and terror enveloped his mind, causing him to forget to flee. Instead, his legs went weak, and in a careless moment, he collapsed!

At this moment, looking at the now dumbfounded Zhou Yan, Zhou Lao's eyes grew thoughtful.

Although the strength he had left was not much.

To kill a Star Wheel realm cultivator.

Was merely a matter of a single thought.

But........

"Everything began because of this person. Whether he lives or dies, let the Young Master handle it personally."

"With this person's strength, he won't stir up any trouble before the Young Master, but as an inheritor of a Heaven-Man grade faction, when faced with a threat to his life, who knows if he still has some trump cards."

"To ensure nothing goes wrong......"

Zhou Lao's eyes flickered, and he immediately had a plan.

The next moment.

His right hand lifted slightly, and with a reverse motion, a beam of divine light burst forth, enveloping Zhou Yan!

In less than a single breath's time.

Zhou Yan's face was contorted in agony, his entire body stained with blood, his cultivation base already abolished!

At this point, he had completely lost the ability to open his spatial ring.

Afterwards.

Zhou Lao paid no heed to Zhou Yan's wailing tears.
