Chapter 1642: Massacre! Lower-tier Transcendent Holy Artifact—Enchanting Holy Eye!
"You... how is this possible?!"
Five beings of Supreme Will Realm stared in shock at Zhou Zhan, unharmed and whole.
Especially the one of Upper Supreme Will Realm, his face flickered with despair.
Can none of you kill this monster?
Zhou Zhan said nothing.
Instead, he felt within himself, and his heart swelled with satisfaction.
Indeed, the Supreme Holy Body was the Supreme Holy Body!
Even now, at merely the fourth rank of Supreme Holy Body, under the augmentation of his own cultivation, it had withstood the combined assault of five Supreme Will Realm warriors.
This defensive strength—absolutely rivalled that of lower-tier or even mid-tier defensive will artifacts.
He didn't think any further, his gaze falling upon the supreme being of the Unparalleled Will Realm.
In the next instant,
he was already standing before him—then, with a single motion, seized his head in his right hand.
The being of the Unparalleled Will Realm froze, his face contorted with terror.
As his head was grasped, he felt a sudden, suffocating sense of death looming over him.
He barely had time to cry out—
*Pop!*
His head was crushed, violently and without mercy, by Zhou Zhan.
Zhou Zhan merely wiped his hand, bloodless and untouched.
The true strength of a Fourth-Class Supreme Saint Body lies in its all-encompassing power—unyielding in every aspect.
Not only was his defensive strength astonishing, but even in terms of raw power, within the endless physique, no one could surpass him.
Crushing one master of the Supreme Will Realm in a single hand?
A breeze away.
Yet this one seemed to have been frightened by his own power—having failed to retaliate or escape at the very first moment. If the opponent had chosen to strike back or forcibly break free, perhaps they might have held on a little longer.
At this very moment,
After witnessing the final demise of the last Supreme Will Realm master, all four remaining Supreme Will Realm masters who still lived trembled in fear.
They stared at Zhou Zhan, as if gazing upon a terrifying demon king.
They had come with no less than eight masters of the Supreme Will Realm—two of them at the upper tier, two at the mid-tier, and the rest at the lower tier.
Yet now, such a formidable force had been reduced by half.
And among that half were even the two upper-tier Supreme Will Realm masters.
The more they thought about it, the colder their hearts grew.
What kind of monster is this?
A mere Four-Rank Supreme God—how could he slaughter these transcendental will masters like he'd slaughter a dog?
Recalling their own lives, they realized that in no era, in no timeline, had such a terrifying creature ever existed.
A sudden sense of being confined to a well, of narrow-mindedness, washed over them.
In their own age and timeline, they had been the very pinnacle of prodigies and heroes.
Yet, even these prodigies and heroes—facing Zhou Zhan—felt as if they were mere mortals!
Zhou Zhan observed the four transcendent will masters before him, their expressions blurred and disoriented. His brow lifted slightly.
He could feel it.
There was no trace of battle intent in their beings.
The absolute disparity in power seemed to make them see reality clearly, even making them abandon any resistance.
Zhou Zhan shook his head.
He didn't hesitate—directly charging forward to engage the four beings of Supreme Will Realm.
These four were only one Medium Supreme Will Realm being and three Lower Supreme Will Realm beings.
Upon seeing Zhou Zhan approach, they immediately coordinated their efforts, attempting to eliminate him.
Yet even when faced with eight Supreme Will Realm beings, they had failed to kill Zhou Zhan—how could they possibly succeed now, with only four of them?
Zhou Zhan moved like a coiling dragon, freely weaving through their ranks, his Xuanyuan Divine Sword slashing with unbridled fury. Occasionally, he unleashed the Universal Laws Star Palm, and within moments, the four Supreme Will Realm beings lay wounded and bleeding.
Yet Zhou Zhan, protected by his Four-Stage Supreme Saint Body, remained unharmed.
Witnessing this spectacle,
the four Supreme Will Realm beings fell into complete despair.
Yet despair could also ignite in the strongest a frenzy and courage born of a trapped beast struggling to the last.
Seeing themselves powerless to turn the tide, they sought to ruthlessly drain every last ounce of strength and potential, aiming to leave wounds upon Zhou Zhan's body or within the very essence of his will.
But Zhou Zhan was simply too strong.
Even in his current state, with the Yellow Gate Power still unbroken, his power stood in stark contrast to theirs—like heaven against earth.
No matter how fiercely these four prodigies of Supreme Will Realm fought, they could not stand a chance against Zhou Zhan.
In mere moments,
these four prodigies of Supreme Will Realm fell, vanquished in his hands.
Zhou Zhan gazed upon the corpses of the eight Supreme Will Realm warriors within his first treasure vault, and nodded slightly.
This battle had been one of the few that truly pushed him to the brink, forcing him to deploy nearly every last means.
One could only say that prodigies truly were prodigies—the pressure they exerted was nothing like that of ordinary Supreme Will Realm warriors.
Had it been ordinary sovereigns of the Supreme Will Realm, he could have effortlessly slaughtered these eight entities after invoking the power of the Yellow Springs, without wasting so much time.
But these were heroes of history, each capable of defying the boundaries of their tier to battle those above; had there been the slightest deficiency in any aspect of his own cultivation, he might have been forced to pay in blood today, even in victory.
He harbored no further idle thoughts.
Turning his gaze, he looked toward the Will of the Fire Core and the Will of the Sundered Dao.
At this moment, the two were besieged by four sovereigns of the Supreme Will Realm.
Even though they were clad in full sets of Will Sacred Artifacts lent by Zhou Zhan, their situation was rapidly turning perilous.
Their bodies were already riddled with numerous wounds of varying depths, presenting a rather wretched sight.
Witnessing this, Zhou Zhan felt no urgent rush to reinforce them immediately, choosing instead to first dissolve the empowerment of the Yellow Springs.
Though the power of the Yellow Springs within the Tablet of the Yellow Springs could now be replenished via the source of the Yellow Springs Domain, the back-and-forth process remained a tedious chore.
Loath to trouble himself with such matters, Zhou Zhan simply dispelled it for the time being.
Anyway, even without the augmentation of the Yellow Afterlife Power, He still possessed the strength of a Supreme Sovereign of the Unrivaled Will Realm.
Confronting these four lower-tier Sovereigns of the Unrivaled Will Realm was nothing complicated.
After releasing the Yellow Afterlife Power, Zhou Zhan swiftly rushed toward the battlefield near the Fire Heart Will, and soon arrived at the four lower-tier Sovereigns of the Unrivaled Will Realm—historical heroes—before engaging them directly.
With Zhou Zhan's assistance, both the Fire Heart Will and the Break the Path Will immediately felt their pressure significantly eased.
Just as they exhaled in relief, they suddenly realized something. Turning their gaze toward where Zhou Zhan had previously fought, they quickly examined the traces left behind on the battlefield—and instantly understood: their sovereign had single-handedly defeated eight Sovereigns of the Unrivaled Will Realm.
They all gasped in shock.
Their experience battling these four lower-tier Sovereigns of the Unrivaled Will Realm had already made them grasp just how terrifying legendary historical heroes truly were.
These were beings considered invincible within their own tier, capable of fighting beyond their level as if drinking water.
Even these lower-tier heroes had already left them reeling with the sheer terror of death and survival.
Their sovereign had faced eight such beings—two of them even upper-tier Sovereigns of the Unrivaled Will Realm—and yet, in such a short span of time, had utterly defeated them.
Now, considering this, just how formidable was their sovereign’s actual strength?
Top-tier power of the Supreme Will Realm?
Or even higher?
They couldn't help but hesitate.
Especially when they recalled that their sovereign's true realm was merely a Four-Stage Supreme God—this revelation only deepened their astonishment at the sheer potential of their ruler.
It was all over in an instant.
Those thoughts flickered through their minds like shadows across a mirror.
They saw Zhou Zhan engaged in combat with these four Supreme Will Realm warriors and immediately rushed to assist.
But soon, they realized something unsettling.
That they… seemed utterly redundant.
Their sovereign had, in fact, effortlessly crushed these four lower-tier Supreme Will Realm warriors with nothing but his own might.
Even if they wished to intervene and assist, they found no suitable moment to act.
Forcing themselves in would only invite suspicion of causing chaos.
The wills of Fireheart and Breakpath realized this, exchanged a glance, and felt a subtle awkwardness.
Zhoun Zhan did not grant them the chance to be embarrassed.
Within mere moments, he had eliminated all four of the lower-tier Supreme Will historical heroes.
He casually gathered their corpses—supreme wills of the highest rank—and turned to face Fireheart and Breakpath.
"Both of you, high vassals, all the Supreme Will historical heroes who attacked us have now perished. From this point forward, you are to guard our main force and prevent any further Supreme Will figures from launching a surprise assault."
"If new Supreme Will historical heroes do come to strike, you may first handle those you can manage—treat it as personal training. Should any exceed your capacity, I shall intervene myself."
Zhoun Zhan instructed them.
"Yes, Your Majesty."
The Will of Blazing Heart and the Will of Shattering Path spoke respectfully.
Then, they immediately flew to opposite sides of the battlefield, monitoring the frontal conflict and the surrounding area to prevent any further sneak attacks from new Supreme Will realm powerhouses.
Meanwhile, on Zhou Zhan's side, having settled the matters regarding these two Supreme Will realm enshrined worshipers, he turned his gaze upon the twelve corpses of Supreme Will realm powerhouses within his primary treasury.
With a mere thought from him, these twelve corpses of Supreme Will realm powerhouses dissolved one after another, transforming into streams of flowing yellow light.
Subsequently, these yellow lights reshaped themselves into various spoils of war, falling onto the floor of the primary treasury.
Upon seeing these trophies, Zhou Zhan raised his brow slightly, a look of delight spreading across his face.
For he discovered that these twelve historical heroes of the Supreme Will realm had dropped a grand total of forty-eight spoils of war, and among them, one item had astoundingly reached the grade of Will Transcendence.
There was no doubt about it.
This was the newly acquired Supreme Luck at work.
It had directly granted him a quality bonus of plus two, forging a treasure of the Will Transcendence grade.
Otherwise, how could any artifact of transcendental will level appear upon the bodies of these masters of supreme will?
If they truly possessed such relics themselves, why wouldn't they have used them during their recent battle?
He awaited the past.
A pair of pink eyes.
Zhou Zhan remembered those eyes—those of a legendary hero from the mid-tier supreme will realm—during the previous clash, the other had attempted to ensnare and manipulate him with those eyes. Yet, fortified by the Book of the Mind and the presence of 'The King,' he remained untouched, unaffected.
Originally, those eyes were merely of will-sage artifact rank.
Now, they had ascended to the level of transcendental sacred artifact.
He looked back.
Text information appeared.
[Artifact Name: Enchanting Holy Eyes]
[Rank of Sacred Artifact: Mid-level · Transcendent Sacred Artifact]
[Artifact Will 1 - Delusion: Employ the Delusion Sacred Eye to enchant the target. If the target's willpower is weaker than the caster's true self, the caster may temporarily control the target to perform actions within the bounds of the target's own mental acceptance.]
[Artifact Will 2 - Slave of the Sacred Eye: Consume the original essence of the Delusion Sacred Eye to permanently enslave a powerful being at mid-level or below mid-level transcendence. After using 'Slave of the Sacred Eye,' a long period of time or a Transcendent Crystal is required to replenish the inner essence. Only after the essence is fully restored can the artifact be used again to enslave another being. Maximum number of enslaved beings: 0/3.]
[Artifact Will 3 - Heart of Delusion: The Delusion Sacred Eye is a sacred artifact of the Will of Delusion path. Beings possessing this artifact may gradually advance along the path of Delusion Will through internal comprehension of its original willpower, with the ultimate limit reaching mid-level transcendence.]
[Artifact Will 4 - Will Impact: The Delusion Sacred Eye accumulates power and unleashes a Will Impact, capable of affecting beings at the upper-tier transcendence level.]
[Note: A Will of Transcendence level is required to claim ownership of this artifact.]
Zhou Zhan read it through and was filled with joy.
What a magnificent Delusion Sacred Eye!
Among these four abilities, none is useless.
The first artifact will—Delusion—allows one to control others to perform tasks for oneself. Its flaw lies in being able to control only those whose willpower is weaker than one's own.
The second Will Artifact was even more extraordinary.
It could directly control a mid-tier or slightly beyond mid-tier Will-Transcendent strength.
After merely replenishing its original power, it could be reused.
As for the Transcendent Sacred Crystal within it, this divine artifact resembled a godly essence—but belonged to the Will-Transcendent strength of a true master.
It could enhance the Will-Transcendent strength of a master by several times, providing them with willpower essence, or serve as an energy source to power Transcendent Artifacts.
The enslavement limit of this Sacred Eye Slave was three Will-Transcendent masters.
Thus, if Zhou Zhan’s strength were sufficient, he could entirely possess the enslavement of three Will-Transcendent masters through this Transcendent Artifact alone.
The third ability, the Heart of Seduction, stirred even greater desire in Zhou Zhan’s heart.
For this was a complete lineage directly leading to mid-tier Will-Transcendent mastery.
To put it bluntly—
The stronger who possesses this lineage, even if the difficulty of advancement prevents them from achieving a 100% ascent to the mid-tier will-transcendent level, their chances of reaching will-transcendent strength are still boosted by at least thirty percent through this inheritance.
Thirty percent!
That is already an extraordinarily high probability.
As for the Sacred Artifact Will Technique 4—Will Impact—it can even harm a superior will-transcendent strength wielder, making it the technique with the highest ceiling among the four will techniques.
"Such a magnificent artifact, such a magnificent artifact,"
Zhou Zhan murmured, then shook his head with regret. "Alas, alas."
His gaze settled upon the final line of text.
[Tip: A will of transcendent level is required to claim ownership.]
"A will of transcendent level..."
Zhou Zhan's face twisted into a bitter smile.
He had just ascended to the lower tier of the Supreme Will Realm, how could he possibly attain a Will level transcending the realm so swiftly?
Is this not sheer nonsense?
He suppressed his disappointment and began to ponder how to utilize this Transcendent Artifact.
