It was known that ordinary people would need at least several decades or even a hundred years, or even a thousand years, to break through to the Saint Emperor realm.
But how long had it been for Zhou Yan!
Less than a month!
Was this speed too terrifying?
Moreover, they had also heard of some existences with heaven-defying talent who could break through to the Divine King realm within a few years, or even more exaggerated.
But there had been none as heaven-defying as Zhou Yan.
This was because within Zhou Yan's body, there was a vast space.
After he broke through to the ninth heaven of the Saint Emperor realm, he had expanded this space to its limit.
And the immense spiritual power and the primordial energy of heaven and earth were all drawn in by Zhou Yan.
Therefore, Zhou Yan's breakthrough had been so easy!
Back in the Sky Profound Realm, Zhou Yan had already broken through to the ninth heaven of the Saint Emperor realm. Now, his cultivation had reached the extreme of the ninth heaven of the Saint Emperor realm, and he was only a hair's breadth away from the Divine Emperor realm.
But even so, no one dared to underestimate Zhou Yan.
After all, the current Zhou Yan already possessed the strength to kill a Divine Emperor.
Furthermore, Zhou Yan possessed the "Devouring Technique." Once he advanced to the Saint Emperor realm, it would be extremely difficult even for a seventh-heaven Saint Emperor to kill him.
Zhou Yan, at this moment, was suspended on a meteorite, his eyes opened, his gaze cold, scanning his surroundings.
A terrifying aura of pressure emanated from him.
The super flying ships around him had opened their hatches, and powerful figures emerged from them, walking towards Zhou Yan.
"Zhou Yan, congratulations!"
A young man walked towards Zhou Yan.
He was dressed in golden armor, with a handsome face and a hint of playfulness in his eyes.
"Thank you," Zhou Yan said indifferently, his gaze sweeping over the other person, a hint of confusion in his eyes.
Who was this person?
He seemed to know this person!
"Zhou Yan, my name is Li Yang!" the other person said with a smile. "I can see that you are now at the peak of the ninth heaven of the Saint Emperor realm. With a little more time, you should be able to break through to the Divine Emperor realm!"
"I believe that after you become a Divine Emperor, you will no longer need to rely on external means to improve your strength. And before becoming a Divine Emperor, you still need to rely on your own efforts. Therefore, this opportunity for you might be immense."
As he spoke, the fervent look in Li Yang's eyes was unconcealed, and he stared intently at Zhou Yan.
"So it's you, Li Yang!"
Zhou Yan immediately remembered who this person was.
"Indeed," Li Yang said with a slight curve of his lips and a smile. "I didn't expect you to break through so quickly. As expected of Zhou Yan, you are truly remarkable."
Hearing Li Yang's words, Zhou Yan frowned and said, "I recall that I don't seem to have offended you."
"Haha, you haven't offended me, but your name has frightened my name! Do you know that I was defeated by you once? That great battle made you famous overnight. I was also highly regarded here." Li Yang laughed heartily.
Zhou Yan's eyes flickered. He had indeed heard rumors about Li Yang.
"I didn't expect you to also break through to the peak of the ninth heaven of the Saint Emperor realm," Zhou Yan said indifferently.
"Yes, I don't know why, but my strength seems to have improved exceptionally quickly," Li Yang scratched his head, looking a little confused.
"I think it's because you are from the Zhou family!"
Zhou Yan sneered, a playful curve appearing at the corner of his mouth after saying this.
The people of the Zhou family had extremely high talent, especially Zhou Yan, who was the hope of the Zhou family.
After Zhou Yan broke through to the ninth heaven of the Saint Emperor realm, the top geniuses of the Zhou family had all wanted to recruit him.
Unfortunately, Zhou Yan had no interest in the Zhou family and had even rejected their invitation.
As a result, the Zhou family's evaluation of him was that he was an arrogant fellow, and he had even insulted many members of the Zhou family.
"You..."
Li Yang's gaze deepened, and anger instantly ignited in his eyes. He then directly attacked, intending to teach Zhou Yan a lesson.
However, Zhou Yan did not dodge. Instead, he stood his ground, waiting for Li Yang's attack.
"Hmph!"
A cold glint flashed in Zhou Yan's eyes. He was not afraid of Li Yang.
The moment he broke through to the ninth heaven of the Saint Emperor realm, a terrifying force surged within his body. That force contained boundless destructive power.
His cultivation technique was the Demonic Destruction Technique.
Dark power surged on Zhou Yan's body, and streaks of black lightning roamed his skin, resembling a ferocious and terrifying black hole, striking fear into people's hearts.
Li Yang's expression also tensed, his eyes narrowed. He did not choose to attack but directly retreated, widening the distance between himself and Zhou Yan, staring at Zhou Yan with a solemn expression.
That power emanating from Zhou Yan made him feel a palpitation.
Zhou Yan's cultivation had far surpassed Li Yang's.
"Zhou Yan, I didn't expect you to break through so quickly. It seems you've gained quite a bit from the Meteorite City, and you've even found a treasure, haven't you?" Li Yang's face showed envy, and his eyes glinted with greed.
"There are no eternal victories in this world! Zhou Yan, you'd better keep a low profile, or you'll eventually bring trouble upon yourself!"
"Heh heh, I don't believe you dare to attack me!" Zhou Yan sneered. "No matter who dares to offend me, Zhou Yan, they will have to pay the price."
"Hmph, keep being arrogant!"
Li Yang coldly snorted, and his figure instantly disappeared from his original position, charging towards Zhou Yan.
Zhou Yan's gaze was icy. His figure also flickered, instantly appearing in the void above.
"Boom boom boom!"
The two figures collided fiercely in the void, and each collision produced a terrifying wave.
At this moment, they were like two comets, madly rushing towards the other side of the void.
"Boom!"
Another violent explosion sounded, shaking the entire space. Cracks spread out like a spiderweb, completely tearing the void apart.
"Bang!"
"Bang!"
Li Yang and Zhou Yan were each sent flying backward, crashing heavily onto the ground.
Around them, the ground was a mess of ruins.
Li Yang's expression was uncertain. He looked at Zhou Yan, gritting his teeth, his eyes filled with venomous hatred.
"Zhou Yan, I didn't expect you to be so tenacious."
"However, this is the Meteorite Domain, and I have already notified the elders of the Zhou family. Your future days will surely not be easy."
After speaking, Li Yang's figure directly streaked towards the depths of Meteorite City.
"Hmph!"
Zhou Yan's figure flashed, instantly appearing behind Li Yang. He slammed down a palm, and a terrifying black handprint, carrying the power to destroy the heavens and exterminate the earth, attacked Li Yang's back.
Li Yang turned and struck with a palm, condensing a mass of blood-red energy on his hand.
