"Zhou Yan?"
"The newly risen genius?"
"Yes, it's said he already possesses the strength of Saint Emperor peak!"
"Saint Emperor peak? Won't he break through to the Saint Monarch realm soon?"
"That's right, Zhou Yan is a freak. Legend has it, he was once hunted and narrowly escaped death in a secret space. He cultivated a divine skill called 'Devour,' and within just half a year, he became a Saint Emperor realm powerhouse! Moreover, it's rumored this divine skill allows for combat beyond one's own realm!"
...
Numerous powerhouses discussed amongst themselves.
And as they spoke, a terrifying aura instantly enveloped the entire Endless City, surging outwards in all directions like a tide.
This aura was too terrifying!
"Boom!"
The entire Endless City seemed to tremble, and everyone's faces turned deathly pale.
What was even more frightening was that these people discovered that the spiritual energy and heaven and earth primeval qi around them were frantically converging towards them.
This...
Was he about to ascend?
Gaze after gaze fell upon the void in the center of Endless City.
There, a figure hovered.
The aura of this figure was more than a hundred times stronger than before!
"What's going on?"
"This aura..."
"Could it be that he's about to break through?"
Countless people were utterly shocked.
One had to know, Zhou Yan had only recently reached the peak of Saint Emperor. Even with the cultivation of the 'Devour' divine ability, he should only be able to step into the half-step Saint Monarch realm.
But now, he had broken through two minor realms consecutively, reaching the peak of Saint Emperor!
Such terrifying speed was utterly earth-shattering.
For a time, the entire Endless City erupted in an uproar.
Innumerable powerhouses were converging towards the central open space.
"Is this aura Zhou Yan's?"
"Yes!"
"This guy, is he finally about to break through to Saint Emperor again?"
"I can't believe it, how long has it been? He went from Saint Monarch to the peak of Saint Emperor, and his strength now is likely more than ten times greater than before!"
...
A group of powerhouses were extremely shocked.
They all knew how immense Zhou Yan's potential was; it was simply immeasurable.
Furthermore, everyone understood that if Zhou Yan were allowed to continue growing, it wouldn't be long before the entire Endless Continent would fall into his hands!
For a time, all the powerhouses in Endless City converged towards the open space.
The heaven and earth primeval qi of the Endless Continent became chaotic at this moment.
Terrifying auras continuously erupted, causing everything around to tremble.
The various countries of the Endless Continent were alerted.
Terrifying auras continuously impacted towards Endless City.
"Is he about to break through?"
"This is bad! This pressure seems like it's about to destroy the entire Endless Continent!"
"Quick! Prepare the defensive formations!"
...
The royal families of various countries, as well as powerful clans, all rushed towards the central area of Endless City in shock.
At this moment, they dared not delay in the slightest.
Because this aura was too terrifying.
If protective measures were not taken in advance, the entire Endless City might be reduced to ruins.
And at this moment, the surrounding air, due to this terrifying aura, rippled, spreading outwards.
Zhou Yan's body was continuously expanding and changing.
This time, it did not condense into a black hole as before.
This time, his body was entirely constructed from spiritual energy.
Above his head, countless vortices spun continuously.
This was the effect of 'Devour.'
Within his body, countless spiritual energies and heaven and earth primeval qi were pouring into Zhou Yan's body like a frenzy.
These spiritual energies and heaven and earth primeval qi were absorbed by Zhou Yan's body. Not only were there no impurities, but they were constantly undergoing transformation.
This was a skill that came with Zhou Yan's cultivation of 'Devour.' After absorbing spiritual energy and heaven and earth primeval qi, it not only tempered the physical body but also improved the cultivator's aptitude, allowing them to become true geniuses!
And at this moment, outside Endless City, huge flying vessels continuously flew towards Endless City.
"Look quickly, that's..."
"Heavens, that's a star-class spaceship!"
...
Numerous powerhouses exclaimed in awe.
To the east of Endless City, a massive meteorite floated.
And that spaceship flew directly towards the meteorite.
"Rumble!"
The massive spaceship landed directly on the meteorite.
At this moment, the heaven and earth primeval qi surrounding the meteorite continuously poured into the spaceship.
These flying vessels were super flying boats, one after another.
Each super flying boat exuded terrifying fluctuations, even distorting space.
Inside the flying boats, powerhouses with formidable auras sat cross-legged.
"Look, it's people from the Blood Fiend Sect!"
"And, people from the Myriad Treasures Pavilion!"
...
Numerous powerhouses were astonished, because these flying boats belonged to super forces.
Although there were many super forces in this world, those possessing a super flying boat were few and far between.
"Damn it! This is Zhou Yan's flying boat!"
"That's right, it's Zhou Yan!"
"Zhou Yan is breaking through here?"
"It seems his strength has increased dramatically again!"
"This kid is simply a monstrous talent!"
Countless powerhouses widened their eyes, their faces filled with disbelief.
Zhou Yan, in such a short period, had broken through consecutively.
Such a terrifying rate of progress was absolutely unprecedented!
"Zhou Yan, how long did it take you to break through to the Saint Emperor realm? You freak!"
"You can ask him about that!"
...
The gazes of one powerhouse after another turned towards Zhou Yan.
They all knew that Zhou Yan had broken through to the Saint Emperor realm three days prior, but his cultivation realm had still not stabilized and was still on the verge of breakthrough.
However, Zhou Yan's physical body and Nascent Soul had been greatly consolidated, and his cultivation had now reached the peak of Saint Emperor Ninth Heaven!
"Hmm? What's going on?"
Suddenly, a surprised voice rang out.
This voice was unfamiliar, but it was filled with shock!
"What? This pressure, is it actually from a Saint Emperor Ninth Heaven expert!"
The pupils of numerous powerhouses contracted sharply, and they were all horrified.
A Saint Emperor Ninth Heaven expert could easily annihilate an ordinary Saint Lord level expert.
"Damn it! Who the hell did this!"
"This aura, I feel a sense of familiarity, could it be Zhou Yan?"
"No way! Zhou Yan has already reached Saint Emperor Ninth Heaven?!"
Exclamations instantly echoed through the heavens.
In the hearts of many powerhouses, Zhou Yan had already evoked immense shock!
