He spread out the garment and examined it. The size in a certain area was too small, unsuitable for Diao Chan or Zhen Mi. However, it was just right for Nie Xiaoqian.
He decided this garment would be for Nie Xiaoqian.
The size was perfect.
Wielding the Tian Hun Sword, he could instantly kill monsters at the sixtieth heaven.
He looked at this Saint Artifact, wondering how strong an enemy it could contend with.
He didn't have a clear answer yet.
Now was the perfect time to test it with the monsters from the Myriad Demon Tower.
Floor sixty-one.
A wolf demon, transformed into human form, let out an arrogant laugh: "Hahaha, it's been a long time since I've encountered a living person..."
Upon seeing Zhou Yan holding the Tian Hun Sword and letting out a "hehehe" laugh,
The demon "thumped" and knelt on the ground, saying to Zhou Yan, "Grandpa, please proceed. The passage is over there."
Dying once, though not truly fatal, caused great damage to their souls, requiring at least a century for recovery. They naturally did not wish to die.
If they could successfully stop the opponent, they would gain a hundred years of demonic power.
However, upon seeing that Saint Artifact, the terrifying energy radiating from it alone was something they could not resist.
Kneeling to preserve their lives was not shameful at all.
Zhou Yan paused, then asked, "What did you just call me?"
"Grandpa!" the wolf demon quickly replied.
Zhou Yan's expression darkened, and without hesitation, he swung the Tian Hun Sword in his hand, beheading the wolf demon.
"Damn it! You called me a monster! I am human, not a monster!"
Wolf Demon: Then what should I call you?
Zhou Yan picked up the reward for this floor with satisfaction: a Platinum-quality wolf demon leather armor, which was quite decent.
He proceeded to the sixty-second floor. The demon on this floor had a terrible temper. As soon as it saw him, it transformed into a streak of black energy and charged at him.
Zhou Yan took out the Tian Hun Sword and, without a word, swung it, instantly obliterating this unknown demon.
This time, the reward was a Platinum-quality cloak, which was so-so, acceptable.
He continued to clear floors, reaching the seventieth floor.
The demon on this floor had reached the seventy-second heaven, its strength exceptionally formidable.
It was a snow demon, radiating terrifying ice and snow power. This floor had been transformed into an ice world by its chilling aura.
"You are not of the Ice and Snow tribe. You don't possess any trace of ice and snow power."
The snow demon sat on a throne formed of ice, its eyes cold as it looked at Zhou Yan.
"Your strength should be at the seventy-second heaven. I wonder if you can withstand a single strike from me."
Zhou Yan drew the Tian Hun Sword. Its powerful Saint aura caused the snow demon to change its demeanor.
"To possess a Saint Artifact, no wonder you could reach this far." The snow demon was not afraid, but instead smiled, "Very good. As soon as I seize your Saint Artifact, I will possess this Saint Artifact."
Zhou Yan smiled and said, "You are quite confident in yourself. I wonder if you can withstand my sword."
"Kid, do you think I am like those wastes below? I guess they wouldn't dare to move upon seeing a Saint Artifact."
The snow demon appeared very confident, then said, "You have no idea how powerful the seventy-second heaven is. Let me show you how terrifying an expert at this realm is."
"I was just about to see."
Zhou Yan indeed did not know how strong an expert at the seventy-second heaven was. Wielding the Tian Hun Sword, he had dealt with monsters at the sixtieth heaven, and those monsters had no power to fight back.
The snow demon unleashed its powerful techniques, condensing a blizzard into ice spears that attacked Zhou Yan.
"Boom!"
Zhou Yan gripped the Tian Hun Sword and unleashed a strike. The sword energy was sharp, transforming into a terrifying killing light that shattered the ice spears.
However, the snow demon had many tricks. It split into countless illusions, filling the entire space with shadows of the snow demon. Their movements and gestures were identical, making it impossible to discern the real one from the fakes.
"Hahaha, kid, let's see how you deal with this."
The snow demon's voice came from all directions, making it impossible to pinpoint its source.
The snow demon thought Zhou Yan would be disoriented by this move and caught off guard.
The snow demon attacked again, condensing ice to form a long spear and charging at him.
But Zhou Yan did not panic. He looked around carefully, then ignored the charging figures, raised the Tian Hun Sword, condensed a terrifying energy, and brought it down fiercely.
"Boom!"
A sword light, tens of meters wide, descended from above, carving a massive rift in front of him. Dozens of meters of ice were forcefully shattered by this strike, turning into fragments.
"Pfft!"
In the distance, the snow demon fell to the ground, severely injured, disbelief evident in its eyes as it looked at Zhou Yan, utterly shocked.
"How could you know my location?" the snow demon asked, astonished.
"Isn't it just an illusion? I can do that too!"
With that, Zhou Yan activated his shadow clone technique, transforming into multiple figures and rapidly appearing before the snow demon, then unleashing a sword strike.
The snow demon was killed by him.
Possessing the same skill, he naturally knew its weakness.
No matter how many illusions there were, there was only one shadow.
This snow demon was destined to die.
A basketball-sized object appeared. He picked it up and saw it was a seven-star quality Lucky Stone.
This large piece contained at least several hundred stones.
"Not bad. The rewards from here on are becoming more and more enticing."
He continued his journey to the next floor.
Monsters above the seventy-second heaven were indeed powerful, but facing a cheater like him, they could only die in frustration.
Each floor rewarded a rare ore or metal. These items were all seven-star quality, extremely precious. Several types were also new to him.
The monsters further ahead were not easy to deal with. Each of them possessed formidable strength, requiring him to expend considerable effort to defeat them.
Especially the last three, whose strength was immense, leading to lengthy battles before he emerged victorious.
These rewards were excellent, each material extremely valuable.
After fighting for such a long time, his stamina was somewhat depleted.
He took out several bottles of spiritual liquid and drank them like water, then ate over a dozen precious spiritual fruits.
These items were not expensive, costing less than a hundred million in total.
After sufficient rest, he ascended to the eightieth floor.
The monsters' strength increased by another level.
His current cultivation realm was only in the early fifties of the Martial Dao, a gap of over twenty levels compared to these monsters.
He relied on his powerful attributes, equipment, and skills to fight his way here.
The monster on this floor was a giant bear demon, its demonic energy surging, exuding a terrifying killing intent.
Zhou Yan felt immense pressure.
He believed that a direct confrontation, even if he won, would come at a great cost.
"You've reached your limit by getting to this floor," the bear demon said, its demonic energy swirling, its cold eyes fixed on Zhou Yan.
"There are still twenty floors above. I haven't reached my limit," Zhou Yan replied.
"Do you think I will let you go any further?" the bear demon sneered.
"No, I don't need you to let me. You just need to lie down," Zhou Yan retorted.
"Kid, your cultivation realm doesn't seem very strong. How did you get here? Are all the guys below a bunch of trash?"
The bear demon, though unaware of Zhou Yan's specific strength, sensed that his cultivation realm was far weaker than his.
Direct combat was too draining, so he decided to resort to other means.
"If you want to know, I'll tell you."
He took out over a dozen explosive talismans. Each talisman was S-grade and possessed terrifying power.
Then, he threw all the talismans in his hand towards the opponent.
Before the bear demon could make a move, he saw streaks of talismans radiating terrifying energy heading his way.
Upon seeing these, the bear demon's face changed drastically, and it exclaimed, "What the hell!"
"Boom boom boom!!!"
Still uneasy, Zhou Yan threw dozens more bombs purchased from the extraterrestrial technology.
He hurled them towards the opponent again.
"Boom!"
"Boom!"
The entire space trembled, and even he himself was subjected to a powerful energy shockwave.
Then, he saw an object floating in the air. He had successfully won this battle.
Fighting doesn't always require direct combat to win.
