Yun Tianzun unleashed a divine martial skill, the Tiangang Palm.
The fists and palms of both combatants were mutually destructive in their attributes, and their collision produced the resounding roar of thunder, unleashing terrifying might.
"Boom!"
The fist and palm imprints collided in mid-air with a deafening roar. Instantly, a fearsome shockwave spread outwards, reducing the surrounding void to a scene of utter devastation.
Under the force of this destructive power, all the disciples of the Yun Tian Sect were sent flying.
In the void, blood-drenched heads exploded, a ghastly sight that was chilling to behold.
The elders of the Yun Tian Sect were also spewing blood, severely injured by the impact of the destructive attack.
"Pfft!"
Zhou Yan's body retreated hundreds of feet before he too spat out a mouthful of blood, his face turning deathly pale.
Yun Tianzun, however, lay prone on the ground, one of his legs broken and his body covered in wounds, looking utterly pathetic.
"How is this possible!"
Yun Tianzun's eyes widened in disbelief as he stared at Zhou Yan, his gaze filled with horror.
Although Yun Tianzun had never seen Zhou Yan's true face, he had learned from various sources that Zhou Yan was not only exceptionally powerful but also a young prodigy, once a prominent figure on the Tianyuan Continent, hailed as one of the most monstrous talents in a millennium.
Yet, he never expected the gap between them to be so vast, to be defeated by the opponent in mere days. It was too terrifying.
Not only him, but the elders were also changing color.
"Heavens, who is he?"
"The aura he released just now seemed much more terrifying than that of the powerhouses from the Tianyuan Holy Land. Could it be that he's also from the Tianyuan Holy Land?"
"No, it shouldn't be! If he were from the Tianyuan Holy Land, why wouldn't he perform the ritual of pledging allegiance to the token of authority?"
"Perhaps this brat was deliberately playing the fool to gain the trust of the Yun Tian Sect. What wouldn't people like them do!"
As they spoke, Zhou Yan threw another punch, utterly annihilating this group.
Although Yun Tianzun was furious, after witnessing Zhou Yan's strength, he dared not act rashly and stood obediently in place, awaiting Zhou Yan's command.
"Summon the Yun Tian Holy Lord. I'll give him only the time it takes for an incense stick to burn," Zhou Yan said indifferently.
"Yes!"
Upon hearing Zhou Yan's words, Yun Tianzun did not dare to delay and immediately turned to leave.
As he departed, figures swiftly gathered around Zhou Yan.
Behind them, an endless stream of Yun Tian Holy Land disciples, numbering nearly three thousand, followed.
"Yun Tianzun!"
Upon seeing Yun Tianzun, an old woman rushed forward, asking, "What's going on? Why has our sect been suddenly attacked?"
This old woman was Yun Tianzun's mother and the Holy Maiden of the Yun Tian Holy Land.
Within their Yun Tian Holy Land, aside from the Sect Master of the Yun Tian Sect, only his mother was a Saint Domain expert. The remaining disciples were all Half-Saints with not very high cultivation.
"He... he is Zhou Yan!" Yun Tianzun gritted out.
"What?!"
"Zhou Yan? Why is he back?"
Upon hearing Yun Tianzun's words, the elders of the Yun Tian Holy Land present had a slight change in their expression, revealing undisguised shock.
"What is he doing here?"
"Didn't he perish in the Nine Nether Abyss? Why is he alive and back!"
The many elders of the Yun Tian Holy Land wore expressions of shock.
They couldn't comprehend why Zhou Yan would appear here.
"Let's run!" Yun Tianzun gritted his teeth and growled, "His strength is overwhelmingly powerful; we are no match for him!"
"Run? Can you escape?" Just then, a cold voice suddenly rang out.
"What?!"
Upon hearing this, everyone involuntarily gasped.
At this moment, they understood that Yun Tianzun had been putting on a show, attempting to stall for time so that Zhou Yan could deal with them.
"Heh heh, that's right, I intended to kill you," Zhou Yan said, looking at them indifferently. "However, before I kill you, I'll give you a lesson first!"
With that, he extended his right palm and struck towards the elders.
Seeing this, the elders of the Yun Tian Sect couldn't help but draw a sharp breath, their faces becoming incredibly grim.
"No!"
"Spare our lives!"
Yun Tianzun and the others, witnessing this, were terrified and hurriedly pleaded for mercy.
"Hmph!"
Zhou Yan let out a disdainful cold laugh, then raised his palm and pressed a ball of golden light fiercely onto Yun Tianzun's head.
"Bang!"
With a dull thud, Yun Tianzun's head exploded instantly, turning into a pulp of flesh, killing him on the spot.
This scene instantly caused the pupils of the surrounding elders to contract, their bodies trembling.
"Zhou Yan, you... you actually... actually killed the Sect Master! Do you... know your crime!"
"Sect Master, you must hold on!"
The surrounding elders, after witnessing this scene, couldn't help but weep bitterly.
Zhou Yan's power was far beyond their expectations.
His strength had actually reached the Half-Emperor realm. Such power far surpassed their capacity to withstand, so they could only flee quickly to avoid trouble.
"Heh heh!"
Zhou Yan swept his gaze indifferently over the surrounding Yun Tian Sect disciples, then said coldly, "Since none of you useless individuals are qualified to remain in the Yun Tian Holy Land, I will help you today by sending you all into the cycle of reincarnation!"
"Power of Reincarnation, emerge!"
Zhou Yan roared fiercely, and then a majestic energy surged from his body, directly infusing into the elders of the Yun Tian Holy Land, causing the spiritual energy within them to boil like a volcanic eruption.
"Ahhhhh..."
Piercing screams continuously erupted.
Zhou Yan did not hesitate to activate the power of reincarnation within him, suppressing and eradicating all the elders of the Yun Tian Sect.
Just as the elders of the Yun Tian Sect were being killed by Zhou Yan, the Yun Tian Holy Lord, leading a group of disciples from the Yun Tian Holy Land, arrived.
However, as he approached the vicinity of Yun Tian Peak, he saw a scene of utter chaos.
Upon witnessing this, his face drastically changed, his heart feeling as if it were being fiercely squeezed, causing him immense discomfort.
