Second, his cultivation realm had reached the peak of the Yuan Wu Sixth Heaven.
"As expected of Lin Chen, even my Immortal Burning Golden Flame could do nothing to him. However, I don't believe that this Immortal Burning Golden Flame can't deal with you!"
Zhou Yan snorted coldly, then waved his hands, and another giant axe appeared in his palm.
This giant axe was ten meters long and about three feet wide. It was entirely black, and its surface was covered with ancient and profound runes, as if it contained a powerful force.
As Zhou Yan hurled the giant axe fiercely.
"Buzz!"
The giant axe hung suspended in the void, and the surrounding space violently vibrated at this moment, as if it were about to be torn apart by the giant axe. A majestic and boundless power also erupted from the giant axe.
Zhou Yan took a deep breath. Behind him, the more than one hundred thousand cultivators also held their breath, their gazes nervously fixed on this scene.
"Rumble!"
The giant axe descended with a fierce roar, and the terrifying power caused the heavens and earth to tremble violently. Mountains collapsed under the terrifying power, turning into powder and scattering.
As the giant axe landed on the ground, a hundred-zhang-wide crack suddenly appeared.
Under Zhou Yan's control, the hundred-zhang-wide crack rapidly spread downwards.
"Bang!"
As the giant axe fell, the earth and stones below shattered, revealing a bottomless gully.
"So powerful, Senior Brother Zhou Yan, what kind of divine ability is this? It actually has such terrifying might!"
Many cultivators around were amazed as they watched the giant axe attack.
"This is a divine ability secret canon called 'Immortal Burning Golden Flame.' It is said that in ancient times, a powerful expert at the Divine Ability Seventh Heaven used it to sweep away all enemies."
"Immortal Burning Golden Flame is a divine ability that can burn all things. Whether it is the physical body, soul, or primordial spirit, it will be dissolved after burning. And when a powerful expert at the Divine Ability Seventh Heaven casts the Immortal Burning Golden Flame, even heavenly divine abilities can be burned to ashes. Its power is unparalleled!"
"So that's how it is. But why doesn't Senior Brother Zhou Yan learn such a powerful divine ability himself?"
"Senior Brother Zhou Yan naturally has his own unique method. His cultivation is specifically prepared for combat. As long as he wishes, he can cultivate the Immortal Burning Golden Flame to perfection in one year. And within this short year, he will also break through to the Divine Ability Eighth Heaven and become a true disciple."
"Hiss... Senior Brother Zhou Yan is so powerful?"
Upon hearing Zhou Yan's words, the surrounding disciples gasped in shock.
They had not forgotten how Zhou Yan had defeated Lin Chen earlier. Lin Chen was a powerful expert at the Divine Ability Eighth Heaven.
Yet Zhou Yan had only taken a year to successfully cultivate the Immortal Burning Golden Flame to the initial stage.
Such a cultivation speed was truly monstrous.
"Damn it, this guy can actually block my Immortal Burning Golden Flame." A trace of dread flashed in Zhou Yan's eyes. He could see that although Lin Chen was already injured, he was still difficult to deal with. Lin Chen's pressure on him was too strong, making him feel a sense of danger.
"It seems that to kill Lin Chen, I must first kill Zhou Yan. Otherwise... this battle will not be won!" Zhou Yan gritted his teeth and said.
Then, he looked at the surrounding disciples, "All of you, attack! Kill these people!"
The surrounding disciples were stunned. They had not expected Zhou Yan to give up so easily and try to kill Lin Chen.
After all, under such a powerful divine ability skill, even an expert at the Divine Ability Ninth Heaven would be instantly annihilated.
But... Zhou Yan was going to give up?
"Could it be that Senior Brother Zhou Yan has exhausted all his tricks?" Someone couldn't help but speculate inwardly.
"Impossible!"
"Senior Brother Zhou Yan is a genuine expert at the Divine Ability Seventh Heaven, and he possesses a divine artifact. Even when facing an expert at the Divine Ability Eighth Heaven, he is not without the power to fight. How could he be defeated?"
"Hmph! Regardless, kill Lin Chen first!"
Afterward, the surrounding disciples swarmed forward.
"Scram!"
Seeing the actions of the surrounding disciples, Zhou Yan was furious. He roared, "Get out of my way, or don't blame me for being impolite!"
"Whoosh whoosh whoosh..."
Under Zhou Yan's reprimand, a phantom of a divine ape suddenly appeared behind him. The divine ape phantom roared to the sky, then fiercely swung its giant arms and slammed towards the surrounding disciples.
"Bang bang bang bang..."
Instantly, a muffled sound echoed through the sky. Under the attack of the divine ape phantom behind Zhou Yan, these surrounding disciples were directly sent flying.
However, Zhou Yan's expression was not good, because that move had not caused any damage to Lin Chen at all.
"This Lin Chen is indeed extraordinary. At such a close distance, I don't know how this guy dodged it. Has he comprehended something?" Zhou Yan thought to himself.
"No, I can't delay any longer. If I continue to waste time, even if I win, it will be a pyrrhic victory!"
A cruel smile appeared on Zhou Yan's lips. "However, I never intended for this competition to end like this. Since you are unwilling to cooperate, I will capture all of you in one go!"
Zhou Yan's gaze shifted to those who had been sent flying, and then streams of purple-gold light surged from his body. Subsequently, one divine ability secret treasure after another shot out from him.
"This is?"
When those divine ability secret treasures flew out from Zhou Yan's body, the surrounding disciples' eyes widened, filled with deep astonishment.
"That's the Purple Gold Sacred Robe, it's actually the Purple Gold Sacred Robe!"
Under Zhou Yan's control, the divine ape behind him fiercely swung its giant arms and struck out in mid-air. At the same time, dozens of thunderous giant hammers were condensed on its giant claws, bombarding the surrounding disciples crazily.
Zhou Yan intended to keep all the disciples here and capture them all at once.
Zhou Yan also had his own considerations.
He knew that at present, all the disciples of the True Martial Sacred Palace, except for Lin Chen and Yang Jian, had been bribed by him.
Therefore, if he annihilated all the disciples here, it would serve as a painful lesson for the True Martial Sacred Palace.
The surrounding disciples clearly realized this as well.
Their eyes were filled with tears, and their hearts were filled with regret. Why had they joined forces with Zhou Yan before?
