"Hmph, who you are and what your relationship is to me, who your father is and what your relationship is to me. If you dare to tell anyone about today's events, I promise to make your life worse than death. Now, you can shut up." Zhou Yan said coldly, and with a surge of strength in his hand, he crushed the man in black into渣, leaving no ashes behind.
Zhou Yan's move of killing the chicken to scare the monkeys was extremely effective. The two men in black who wanted to escape no longer dared to move around.
Zhou Yan ignored the two of them and continued forward.
At this point, he had reached the center of the valley.
In the center of the valley stood three colossal stone tablets, each larger than a house.
These three stone tablets exuded dense spiritual energy fluctuations, and Zhou Yan could clearly feel the immense spiritual energy contained within them.
"As expected of the Divine Tomb ruins!"
Zhou Yan sighed.
The things within the Divine Tomb ruins were all mysterious and unfathomable, and these three giant stone tablets were the best embodiment of that.
"The Divine Tomb ruins are the treasure of our Heavenly Demon Sect, they belong to us, and no outsider can covet them, no matter who you are, no matter who is behind you!" An ancient voice echoed from one of the stone tablets.
This time, another cold light shot out, aiming at Zhou Yan.
This cold light was much thicker than the previous one.
It carried a sharp gust of wind and swept towards Zhou Yan.
Zhou Yan raised an eyebrow. This stone tablet was indeed extraordinary. It was a formation laid out by a Divine King stage expert. This formation was not just to prevent outsiders from entering; its more important purpose was to prevent cultivators from entering, as the dangers within were extremely high.
However, these dangers were a piece of cake for Zhou Yan.
Zhou Yan's figure vanished from his original spot. When he reappeared, he was already beside the stone tablet.
"Bang!"
Zhou Yan waved his hand, unleashed a punch, directly shattered the cold light, and then slammed his fist towards one of the stone tablets.
"Bang!"
With a dull thud, the stone tablet also exploded into powder.
Looking at the three giant stone tablets that had turned into dust, Zhou Yan revealed a faint smile, then turned his gaze to the remaining two giant stone tablets.
The other stone tablets also exuded dense spiritual energy, and it was clear that the spiritual energy contained within them was not inferior, and in fact, was even more abundant than in the three giant stone tablets just now.
"Heh heh, it seems the two of you truly want to find death!" Zhou Yan said with a cold smile, then attacked again.
With every swing of his fist, these three stone tablets were completely shattered.
An hour later, all three giant stone tablets were destroyed.
Zhou Yan stood in place, looking at the wreckage on the ground. He smiled, knowing that these things all belonged to him.
However, he did not bother to collect these items and instead headed straight for the fourth stone tablet.
The fourth stone tablet also emitted dense spiritual energy fluctuations.
Zhou Yan reached out and took the stone tablet into his hand, feeling the very pure spiritual energy fluctuations emanating from it, and the powerful and vigorous force it contained.
Zhou Yan examined the fourth stone tablet carefully. It was spherical, emitting a seven-colored light all over, which illuminated the entire stone tablet beautifully, dazzling the eyes.
Zhou Yan looked closely at this stone tablet, then slowly closed his eyes, projecting his consciousness into it. His mental power rapidly penetrated into the stone tablet.
A moment later, Zhou Yan opened his eyes, a hint of a smile on his face. This stone tablet was indeed not simple. Not only did it contain a vast amount of spiritual energy, but it could also absorb external spiritual energy. This function was truly heaven-defying.
Zhou Yan placed this stone tablet back into his spatial ring and continued to search for the remaining ones.
Zhou Yan's luck was quite good. After the second hour, he finally discovered two more stone tablets. One emitted a radiant glow, while the other exuded an icy, bone-chilling aura. The two complemented each other, forming a peculiar power that made Zhou Yan feel an indescribable sense of comfort.
Zhou Yan observed the two stone tablets closely, then chose the second one and picked it up.
Countless white runes immediately appeared in his hand, and these runes rapidly merged into this stone tablet.
These white runes were the power contained within the flesh and blood of the enemies that Zhou Yan had absorbed during his previous battles. Under Zhou Yan's manipulation, they actually formed a lifelike, colossal white tiger phantom that charged towards the second stone tablet.
"Crack!"
The colossal white tiger phantom instantly pierced through the second stone tablet.
"The defensive power of this stone tablet is truly strong, it actually managed to withstand my attack!"
Zhou Yan exclaimed. He wondered what material this stone tablet was made of, its hardness far exceeding his understanding, but Zhou Yan showed no fear.
He injected his mental power into the colossal white tiger phantom again.
The colossal white tiger phantom immediately transformed into a giant dragon hundreds of meters long.
The size of this dragon was several times larger than before.
"Crack!"
With another crisp sound, the white tiger phantom once again burrowed into the second stone tablet.
This time, the massive stone tablet could not withstand the attack and was destroyed in an instant, shattering into powder.
"Hahaha, the reward this time is indeed generous. It actually increased my lifespan by five thousand years. This is simply a profitable deal!" Zhou Yan laughed heartily and continued forward, intent on finding the remaining two stone tablets.
The defensive power of the fourth stone tablet was slightly weaker than the first, and although Zhou Yan could not destroy it as easily as the previous three, he managed to do so with his powerful physique.
Soon, Zhou Yan arrived before the sixth stone tablet.
This sixth stone tablet also exuded dense spiritual energy fluctuations.
Zhou Yan probed it with his mental power and discovered that the stone tablet contained a vast amount of spiritual energy, and that the spiritual energy within seemed different from that of the other stone tablets.
"Huh? There's actually a formation here!" Zhou Yan discovered a strange formation. In the center of the formation, there was a groove, and from within the groove emanated a strong energy fluctuation.
Zhou Yan's mental power followed these energy fluctuations and slowly explored. He found that within these energy fluctuations lay a formation, and this formation was very complex, making him wonder how much mental power it would take to decipher.
"It seems I can only destroy this formation to obtain the treasures within!" Zhou Yan thought, and then directly attacked.
Zhou Yan's mental power surged forward, directly destroying the formation.
"Rumble~~~!"
The formation was forcefully destroyed by Zhou Yan, and it immediately exploded.
